Chen Ying immediately became unhappy, but it didn't show on his face.
Qiao Zhishu naturally had to be more sensible at this time, "No, I've already eaten. Thank you, Mr. Xing."
Xing Huo didn't insist anymore, but opened his cuffs with his fingers and looked at the time.
Before four o'clock, she said she had had dinner.
Chen Ying frowned in displeasure, "Qiaoqiao, are you afraid that you got confused from your nap? If you don't want to go out, just say so. It will make us seem like we are forcing you to do something."
For Qiao Zhishu, having a meal with Xing Huo would cause her physical and mental suffering. She had a premonition.
Mrs. Chen went upstairs and soon returned to the stairs, "Auntie, auntie——"
A fat woman ran out from downstairs and stood at the steps without going up. "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Why did my scented lamp upstairs break? Who broke it?"
The servant was shocked, as it was taboo to break the master's belongings, as he might lose his job.
"Madam, I haven't been to your room today. I really don't know what happened."
Chen Ying teased the puppy in her arms. When she heard the conversation, she quickly raised her head and said, "Mom, it's not the one I gave you on your birthday, right?"
"That's it. I use it every night." Mrs. Chen was feeling depressed now and walked down the steps with a bleak look. "Auntie, is it really not you who did it?"
"Madam, you must believe me..."
Xing Huo crossed his legs and placed a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of him. The steam was thick at the mouth of the cup. He looked through the layer of mist at Qiao Zhishu, who was sitting upright.
She was nervous, twisting her fingers together with a forbearing look on her face.
She seemed to know what would happen next.
Mrs. Chen's tone was neither sullen nor angry. She looked like a woman with a gentle temper. There was no blame in her words, just reluctance.
"Now that I don't use it all day, I can't sleep well at night."
At this time, Qiao's mother came out of the kitchen. She had just finished tidying up the room, and the servant waved to her, "I remember, you tidied up my wife's room, right? That lamp..."
Mother Qiao was stunned for a moment and couldn't remember what light it was.
But when Mrs. Chen heard this, she obviously didn't want to pursue it anymore, "Forget it, it's not a valuable thing..."
"Mom, why isn't it expensive? It costs tens of thousands!"
Mrs. Chen waved her hand at Chen Ying and signaled her to stop talking, "I probably broke it accidentally. It's okay. Didn't you say you wanted to go out to eat? It's almost time to leave."
But Mother Qiao felt uncomfortable and didn't want to be misunderstood.
She walked quickly to Mrs. Chen and said in a low voice, "Madam, I really didn't notice any lights, let alone touched them."
"Okay, I know," Mrs. Chen said, patting her wrist, "Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Zhishu heard a sarcastic voice escape from Chen Ying's mouth.
snort.
Her heart felt as if someone was holding her tightly.
Mother Qiao chased after Mrs. Chen and explained, "I just went in to get some changes of clothes..."
"I am also careful when changing the sheets."
Mrs. Chen was actually a little impatient, but she still nodded and said, "I know, it has nothing to do with you."
"Madam, if I break something, I will definitely tell you..."
Qiao Zhishu wanted to cover her ears, she didn't want to listen anymore.
Xing Huo stared at her face, which was pale and pitiful. Is she sure she wanted to continue sitting down and watching her mother grovel?
Qiao Zhishu raised her eyes and met his gaze again.
Both of them understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes, and Qiao Zhishu did not avoid it this time.
"Brother-in-law, where are you taking us to have dinner? What to eat?"
She said she couldn't go just now, but now she has changed her mind.
Chen Ying originally wanted to say something, but when she saw that Xing Huo didn't refute after hearing the word brother-in-law, she felt excited again. "How about we go eat Japanese food."
"Anything is fine." The man stood up and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Qiao's mother walked up to Qiao Zhishu. She held her arm tightly, feeling uneasy.
"Qiaoqiao, please stay at home. Mom also wants you to do something for me."
Chen Ying really wanted to scold her, she was really incapable of reading people's eyes. Did she want Xing Huo to think that the Chen family always treated their mother and daughter harshly?
"This is not the first time I have taken Qiao Qiao out. She is my sister. Aunt Qiao, please don't be polite to me."
"But, it can't be done..."
I'm afraid no one in the Chen family knows that this man entered her daughter's room last night.
Although nothing happened, is it normal to talk about this kind of thing?
"Just don't worry about it so much, okay?" Chen Ying stood up and pulled Qiao Zhishu over. His attitude was very intimate now, "I will definitely bring Qiao Qiao back safely."
Xing Huo said goodbye to Mrs. Chen, and Chen Ying took Qiao Zhishu and followed her happily.
Nanhuai City.
Xu Yanqing made an appointment with Fang Miaotong for dinner in the evening. Fang Miaotong brought a Louis Vuitton bag, which Mrs. Yu had given her before.
She held it in her arms and touched it again and again, "If I hadn't eaten with you, I wouldn't have been willing to carry it out."
Xu Yanqing handed her the menu, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just a bag."
“So expensive!”
"Let's see what we can eat."
Next to the dining table, a dark shadow suddenly cast over, and the shadow hit the menu.
Xu Yanqing raised his head and saw Jiang Yining's figure.
She didn't think it was necessary for them to say hello to each other, but Xu Yanqing still said, "Miss Jiang, is something okay?"
Jiang Yining showed her a photo, with a gloating smile in her eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, a friend of mine was there and mistakenly thought that I was still related to Yu Zhi. She asked me to be careful about him, saying that a young girl was stalking him."
In the photo, a slender figure sat in Yuzhi's car. She looked very young and had a great figure.
Fang Miaotong wanted to have a fit, but Xu Yanqing just said lightly, "Thank you for reminding me, I will communicate with him properly."
Jiang Yining was asking for trouble, "Actually, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Wherever Mr. Yu goes, he will meet such women, right?"
"Yes," Xu Yanqing followed her words and said, "It has happened before, Miss Jiang, right?"
Jiang Yining's expression changed, she was defeated and left without saying another word.
It's just that Xu Yanqing ate this dinner a little absent-mindedly.
Because of this, Yu Zhi did not tell her.
After returning home, Xu Yanqing put her belly to sleep and then made a video call to Yu Zhi.
The call was quick. Yu Zhi had just taken a shower and his hair was wet. "Honey, have you had dinner? Do you miss me?"
Xu Yan said duplicity, "I don't think so at all!"
"Huh? Is it possible that you had a new love in the past two days when I was away?"
