Because he felt sorry for Chi Yu's hard work and fatigue during this period, and he was not busy today, Chi's father specifically told Chi's mother and Aunt Zhang who was cooking at home: "Let Yu'er sleep more, don't ask her to get up for breakfast."

So by the time Chi Yu woke up from sleep, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

Hungry in his stomach, Chi Yu took off the blindfold, lifted the quilt, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Halfway there, there was a knock on the door, Chi Yu paused, turned around and answered the door.

Standing outside was Leng Jinyan wearing a long sapphire blue knitted dress. With a smile on his face, he called her Sister Yu softly.

Wrapped in a nightgown, the neckline was slightly open, and Chi Yu with messy hair opened his mouth in surprise, obviously surprised.

Seeing her reaction, Leng Jin Yanchi asked: "Sister Yu, you must have forgotten that I told you last night that I would come to your house for dinner, right?"

Chi Yu closed his eyes and coughed twice: "I haven't forgotten, I just didn't expect you to come so early..."

Leng Jinyan raised her arm and shook the watch on her wrist towards Chi Yu, which meant that it was getting late.

Chi Yu turned his eyes away uncomfortably, and muttered in a low voice: "I slept late last night, so I'm too lazy to sleep today."

"Ah."

Chi Yu straightened the broken hair on his forehead: "You go downstairs and wait for me, I'll come when I pack up."

Leng Jinyan didn't move, and stared at her non-stop.

Chi Yu pursed his lips: "Come in and sit down."

Leng Jinyan snorted, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Chi Yu dawdled in the bathroom for a long time before coming out.

Hearing the movement, Leng Jinyan turned her eyes subconsciously to see that this person took a shower, dried his hair, and changed into a clean and refreshing white sportswear.

"Let's go." Chi Yu put his hands in his pockets, and raised his chin towards Leng Jinyan.

Leng Jinyan nodded, closed the magazine in her hand, got up and walked out side by side with her.

Lunch was ready, Mother Chi greeted Mother Leng and the two juniors went to the restaurant area together.

At the dinner table, some clichéd topics were inevitably involved, for example, Leng's mother is now asking Chi Yu if he has a boyfriend.

Leng Jinyan clenched her chopsticks unconsciously and bit her lower lip. After Chi Yu shook her head slightly, she relaxed her nerves and continued to eat with her head down.

"Then, does Xiaoyan have someone to talk to now?" Mother Chi helped Leng Jinyan hold a rosy lion's head with her chopsticks.

"Thank you, auntie," Leng Jinyan took the lion's head from a dinner plate, and then explained in a low voice, "I'm busy with work, so I don't have much time to think about it."

"You can't just be busy with work, lifelong events are also an integral part of life..." Chi Yu secretly kicked her heel in the middle of her sentence.

"Mom, this chicken soup tastes delicious, hurry up and try it." Chi Yu put the chicken soup in Chi Mu's hand and urged her repeatedly.

Mother Chi had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and took a bowl of soup.

Although there had been some unhappiness before, but because Leng Jinyan came forward to solve the company's crisis this time, the relationship between the two families eased a lot. After dinner, Chi's mother left Leng's mother and daughter to play a few rounds of mahjong in the living room.

"How long is Xiaoyan going to stay in China this time?" Mother Chi touched a card and asked casually.

"About a week."

Chi's mother followed this topic and asked some work-related matters.

Chi Yu rested his chin in his hand, and said in a helpless tone, "Mom, can you stop asking, it feels like the police are checking the household registration..."

Mother Chi glanced at Chi Yu: "I'm not concerned about Xiaoyan..."

Chi Yu curled his lips and didn't say anything more.

In the evening, Chi Yu called Jian Qiao and chatted with Leng Jinyan.

"To be honest, I still have some concerns about what her father did before." Chi Yu fiddled with the teddy bear's ear with his right hand, "So when I get along with Leng Jinyan, I always feel awkward."

Jian Qiao hummed: "It's not surprising. After all, the two of you had such a good relationship before. If I were you, I guess it would be the same."

Chi Yu pinched his eyebrows and sighed.

Jian Qiao suddenly remembered something, and slapped her thigh: "There is something I forgot to tell you, Li Wan saw green grass in Zuo's villa today."

"Qingcao has returned to the country?"

"Yes, they said they came back the day before yesterday."

Chi Yu sighed: "This girl has been away for so long, I miss her a little... Is she okay now?"

Jian Qiao lowered her head and stared at the floor: "I didn't see the grass, so I don't know her current situation. I asked Li Wan, but Li Wan didn't want to tell me..."

Before going to sleep, Jian Qiao wandered around Li Wan's room again.

Knowing why Jian Qiao came here, Li Wan glanced at her lightly, and continued to cut her toenails on her own.

Jian Qiao sat beside Li Wan's bed, stroking her feet back and forth with her fingertips.

Unable to bear the itching, Li Wan pushed Jian Qiao's hand away: "I'm going to sleep, you hurry up." She opened the side drawer and put the orange nail clippers in.

"Is Qing Cao not doing well, that's why you don't want to tell me?" Jian Qiao frowned.

"...Know it and ask."

Jian Qiao's lips were instantly pursed into a straight line, looking very sad.

"I have to get up early tomorrow, so don't delay my rest time." Li Wan didn't want to see Jian Qiao like this, so she reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, and it became pitch black, and then she lay down with her eyes closed.

Jian Qiao took a deep breath and waited for a few minutes before walking away in frustration.

What Jian Qiao didn't know was that Zuo Yi originally planned to sell the green grass to an old and ugly black man to be his wife, and it was Li Wan who asked for it, and the matter ended in nothing...

On the second day, Jian Qiao followed Li Wan's car back to the company.

The two of them met Zhao Zhe and Dong Yun at the elevator entrance.Those two politely called out Vice President Li, nodded to Jian Qiao, and said nothing else.

Jane Qiao has long been accustomed to this.Ever since Li Wan and Li Xin had a big quarrel at the dinner table, and the father and daughter tore their faces apart, Zhao Zhe, Dong Yun, and many colleagues in the company kept away from Jian Qiao. Positions belong to opposites, and the relationship cannot be too close.

And because of Li Xin's deliberate suppression and constraints, Li Wan's right to speak in the company is getting lower and lower...

At noon, Li Wan received a call from Wei Cang.

"Come over to my residence now," Wei Cang urged, "Remember, you come alone, don't bring other people with you."

After hanging up the phone, Li Wan drove to Wei Cang's private villa alone.

Wei Cang took Li Wan directly to the secret room on the first floor, obviously there was something important to tell her.

"Before Li Xin returned to China, he hired two Chinese-American bodyguards, one of whom was named Mai Ka, the illegitimate son of Miao Jin, the drug trafficker in Qingyuan City."

Li Wan was very surprised when she heard this. She had always known that Wei Cang secretly sent someone to investigate Li Xin, but she never expected to do so.

Wei Cang poured a glass of red wine for Li Wan, with a wanton smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Qingyuan police have been watching Mai Ka for a long time, and they have been trying to break through Miaojin from him. Who would have thought that old bastard Li Xin would get involved."

Li Wan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Wei Cang suspiciously: "Are you cooperating with the police?" Otherwise, how could Wei Cang know such a confidential matter.

Wei Cang nodded slowly: "One of my middle school seniors works in the anti-drug team of Qingyuan City, and I am now his informant."

Li Wan sipped her red wine: "What do you need me to do?"

"Don't get meddled in this matter, I just want to remind you that Mai Ka is now Li Xin's man, so there is no guarantee that this old bastard will use Mai Ka to do something disgusting to you in the future .”

"Okay, I see." Li Wan gently put down the goblet in her hand.

While the two were chatting, Bai Ou called, but Wei Cang didn't answer, but put the phone aside in annoyance: "If you have time, you can persuade Bai Ou more and let her die. I will never fall in love with another woman except Zhuang Rong."

Li Wan was noncommittal.

In the evening, Li Wan went to see Uncle Tong and told him about it.

Uncle Tong felt that Li Xin was getting more and more frenzied, and was very worried about Li Wan's safety, so he wanted to live in her villa and protect her personally.

Li Wan stroked her forehead and compromised: "Okay, but only you are allowed, and those bodyguards will still live in your original house."

Uncle Tong agreed, but after he moved in, he took the initiative to take over all the housekeeping work, and Jian Qiao ended up doing nothing.

On the weekend, Jian Qiao returned to Jiyang, and Li Wan flew to Australia.

Now only Uncle Tong and Dong Zai are left in the villa.

Uncle Tong doesn't like cats very much, so he doesn't talk to Dong Zai very much, and Dong Zai doesn't like Uncle Tong who has a serious expression and a bit of a weird temper... So after two days, there is no interaction between this person and the cat. When I met it, I just stared at it.

Knowing that Jian Qiao was coming back, grandma went to the station with Jian Yu.

On the way back, grandma took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot of the taxi, deliberately creating opportunities for the two young people to get along.

For this, Jian Qiao was both helpless and distressed.

Jian Yu made the lunch, and Jian Qiao didn't go to the kitchen to help her.Now she avoids Jian Yu as much as she can, and hides as much as she can.

Despite Jian Qiao's reaction, Jian Yu acted as if nothing had happened, still picked up ribs for her with serving chopsticks with a smile, and carefully picked out fish for her.

Jian Qiao felt guilty and didn't know what to do, so she buried her head in a quick mouthful of food and went back to her room.

"Grandma," Jian Yu put down her chopsticks, her nose was sour, and her eye circles turned red when she spoke, "Does my sister really hate me now?"

Grandma warmly comforted her: "Don't think about it, Xiaoyu is so sensible and well-behaved, how can anyone hate you."

Jian Yu managed to force a smile, but she was still very sad.

While Jian Yu was busy in the kitchen, grandma went to Jian Qiao's bedroom.

Grandma sat on the stool opposite Jian Qiao, and said earnestly, "Qiao Er, you said you don't like Xiao Yu, and you don't feel moved, so let me ask you, does Xiao Wan like you? What kind of feelings does she have for you? "

Jian Qiao was left speechless by the question, she knew in her heart that Jian Yu treated her just like she treated Li Wan...

Grandma sighed, and then took Jian Qiao's hand: "In grandma's opinion, at least you and Xiaoyu are compatible and suitable... I am getting older and my health is getting worse, so I can't be with you for a few years. ...Grandma hopes that there is someone around you who knows what is cold and who is hot, and treats you sincerely, so that even if I get off Huangquan Road, I can feel at ease."

Jian Qiao's lips moved, she hesitated to speak... In the end, she didn't say anything, she just hugged grandma gently.

On the night when she returned to Jing County, Jian Qiao's heart turned a thousand times, and she finally lost sleep: she couldn't let Li Wan go, but at the same time she felt sorry for her grandma.

She is stubbornly clinging to a relationship that may never get a response, leaving her elderly grandmother to worry about it, and unable to fulfill her filial piety in time.

When eating breakfast the next day, Uncle Tong noticed that Jian Qiao's eyes were swollen and red, obviously crying.

Li Wan hadn't come back from Australia yet, and there were only the two of them at the table... Uncle Tong hesitated for a moment, and gave Jian Qiao his share of boiled eggs.

Jian Qiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned it: "Uncle Tong, you eat yours, and I have enough."

Uncle Tong is not very good at comforting people, so he just asked in a low voice: "Are you in trouble?"

Jian Qiao lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and didn't explain much.

Knowing that Jian Qiao didn't want to talk about it, Uncle Tong didn't ask again.

Before going out, Jian Qiao received a private message from Li Wan, who asked her to pick up someone at the airport at ten o'clock in the morning.

And the person Jian Qiao wants to pick up is Li Wan's other secretary, Gu Ge, a returnee with a master's degree, who is about 26 or seven years old.When Xiao Nan interviewed her before, she boasted to Jian Qiao: The other party is a tall and beautiful beauty, with elegant conversation and demure temperament.

When I saw it today, I knew that Xiao Nan hadn't exaggerated, not to mention that Li Wan also recognized and appreciated Gu Ge very much.

"Hello, my name is Gu Ge." The girl took the initiative to politely extend her right hand to Jian Qiao who was looking at her in a daze.

Jian Qiao smiled back, shook hands with Gu Ge lightly, and introduced herself by the way.

At noon, Jian Qiao learned from Xiao Nan that Gu Ge was a third-generation official.

Xiao Nan also found out that Gu Ge went back to China to accompany Li Wan to a dinner before, and there was Xu Ziming at the dinner.

After that meal, Xu Ziming never felt sorry for Li Wan again, after all, Gu Ge's grandfather was not something their family could offend.

In the afternoon, Li Wan came back from Australia.

She came to the company, but did not stay, but left with Gu Ge directly.

Sitting on the workstation, Jian Qiao looked at the backs of the two walking side by side, feeling extremely sad in her heart.

Gu Ge's appearance, family background, knowledge, insight, ability, any one of them is better than herself, and thinking that even the housekeeping work is now done by Uncle Tong, Jian Qiao feels extremely depressed... What else does she have now? Reason to stay?
