Ji Ran didn't quite understand what Chen Qianqiong meant.

In this complicated and annoying relationship with the Ji family, Chen Qianqiong must also be one of the victims.A pregnant woman suddenly appeared next to her husband, and no one could accept it.

Unlike Zhao Qingtong, Chen Qianqiong is not a vegetarian. She knows how to maximize her own interests in this failed marriage, and quickly distance herself from the Ji family emotionally.

Therefore, Ji Ran did not have any element called resentment towards Chen Qianqiong.

He even admired this woman who had only met once.

It's just that in her eyes, he's probably not a snake or a grain of sand, he can't be tolerated no matter what.Ji Ran understood and accepted it.

But she didn't expect Chen Qianqiong to react so calmly when she saw him again.

Qin Man whispered: "Don't eat, I'll take you back."

"What are you doing standing there?" Chen Qianqiong twisted out the cigarette, raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you used to the smell of smoke?"

Qin's mother smiled: "Why, Xiaoman also smokes, but not much. What are you two doing standing there? Get down quickly."

"Why are you here?" Qin Man asked after walking down the stairs.

"Xiao Man, don't talk to the guests like that." Qin's mother put the soup on the table, and the food was ready. "When your father and I first arrived in the United States, Qian Qiong helped us a lot. Now that I'm back, of course Invite her over to dinner."

Qin Man looked at Chen Qianqiong indifferently: "We have something to do, first..."

"Where should we sit?" Ji Ran interrupted him.

"Sit casually. I originally invited other friends. She can't come due to business. Tonight, it's just us." Qin's mother sat down, fisted with both hands in front of her chest, looking like a girl, "Just be casual. .”

Qin Man frowned, and said to Ji Ran: "You have to think..."

"I don't think so." After Ji Ran finished speaking, he sat down on the corner chair.

Qin Man didn't hesitate much, and sat between the two, separating them.

After a meal, the atmosphere is not too awkward.Qin's mother has been chatting with Chen Qianqiong about the interesting things that happened in the United States, and the men hardly interjected.

Ji Ran listened silently.Although he has almost no contact with Chen Qianqiong, he often hears about her from others, and the labels are always those few.

Strong woman, workaholic, career-minded.

But perhaps infected by Qin's mother's enthusiasm, Chen Qianqiong would respond to every word she said, and occasionally smiled softly.

After dinner, Chen Qianqiong took out a cigarette from her bag: "I'll go out for a while."

Qin's mother said: "Smoking less, it's really bad for your health. So do you, Xiao Man."

Qin Man served Ji Ran a bowl of old duck soup, and responded casually.

Chen Qianqiong stood up, paused, then turned her head and said: "Ji Ran, I remember you smoke too, come out with me?"

Ji Ran paused with his chopsticks and turned to look at her: "I don't smoke women's cigarettes."

"It's okay, I brought something else." Chen Qianqiong said.

Qin Man stopped chopsticks and frowned: "He quit, you go by yourself."

Qin's mother was taken aback, and the feeling of weirdness became stronger and stronger.She laughed awkwardly: "That's right, how can an elder invite a junior to smoke?"

Chen Qianqiong nodded, turned around and was about to go out.

The chair moved on the ground and made a sound.

Ji Ran said: "...I'm full, let's go out with you and have a blast."

He couldn't feel her hostility, and felt that Chen Qianqiong had something to say to him, so he stayed.

Qin Man was about to get up, when Ji Ran pressed his shoulders, and hurriedly left a sentence, "Come back soon."

-

The potted plants in the garden have withered because they have not been taken care of for a long time.

The two stood on the balcony, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Chen Qianqiong breathed out a puff of smoke and broke the silence: "Long time no see, you have grown up."

They really don't have a good relationship.

"What can you do with me?" Ji Ran asked directly.

"What do you think?" Chen Qianqiong asked him, "What do you think can happen if I find my husband's illegitimate child?"

Ji Ran said: "You can't beat me, and you can't take advantage of it verbally. Even if you really want to make trouble, there's no need to call me out. It's impossible. It's just to make me come here to smoke second-hand smoke."

Chen Qianqiong smiled.

Unlike Qin's mother, she was treated a little harshly by the years. Although she was a great beauty when she was young from her facial features, she still had a lot of wrinkles on her face. When she smiled, she showed her old appearance.

"I heard that Ji Guozheng is dying in the hospital." Her tone was cold, as if she was not talking about her nominal husband.

Ji Ran paused: "Almost."

"Madam Ji should be looking for you often recently, right? For the inheritance."

Ji Ran didn't speak.

Mrs. Ji has indeed been contacting him, but he has been turning a blind eye. It is estimated that it will be time to find him soon.

"She's getting old, and Ji Guozheng only has two flesh and blood, you and Ji Wei... Do you think Ji Guozheng is dead, and who will eternity belong to?"

The hints in the words were not concealed, Ji Ran understood: "You want to win me over?"

Chen Qianqiong: "I can't talk about wooing, I just want to save some time. You can't compete with Ji Wei."

Ji Ran sneered: "How does Bu Zheng know?"

Chen Qianqiong turned her head and looked at him for a long time.

"You don't need to act in front of me." She withdrew her gaze and said, "You don't have any desire in your eyes."

Ji Wei told her that Ji Ran only wished to be away from eternity, not to mention the word inheritance.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Ji will drag Ji Ran into this game.She doesn't want any accidents.

"Don't you hate them?" Chen Qianqiong changed the subject, "How they tormented your mother, and how they harmed her. And that old lady who talks like a snake..."

"Hit her? What do you mean?" Ji Ran choked and interrupted her, "Please explain clearly."

Chen Qianqiong paused, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

She retracted her gaze: "I just heard about it."

"That employee was going to send your mother a hush money. At that time, the company's senior management was in turmoil. In order not to fall into the limelight, they wanted your mother to go abroad to hide—it's best not to come back."

"Who knew that something happened to the employee's home, he drank to relieve his worries, and when he wanted to stop, he stepped on the brakes instead..."

"Impossible." Ji Ran's eyes were cold, "Then why did Ji Guozheng send money to that person?!"

"You found quite a lot." Chen Qianqiong laughed, "That man was threatening Ji Guozheng, he opened and closed his mouth, and he was holding the money Ji Guozheng gave him at the time, Ji Guozheng wanted to get away cleanly, almost impossible."

She asked, "Do you think it was Ji Guozheng who had Zhao Qingtong killed? How could it be possible, Zhao Qingtong is so easy to handle, he doesn't need to take his life on his back."

Ji Ran stood where he was, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He thought of countless possibilities, murder, ordinary accidents, even suicide.

If Chen Qianqiong really said it, then he didn't know who to blame for Zhao Qingtong's death.

Drunk driver?

Ji Guozheng who wants to spend money to eliminate disasters?

Or was it Zhao Qingtong who obediently went to the appointment despite knowing that the other party was uneasy and kind?

Chen Qianqiong originally thought that Ji Ran would have to digest for a while, but whoever thought about it for less than half a minute heard him ask.

"Why do you think I'll help you?"

"If you still have a little conscience, you will naturally help me." Chen Qianqiong took a breath, "Without me, you can still stand here properly?"

"If it wasn't for me, Zhao Qingtong would have been dragged to the hospital by the Ji family to have an abortion."

Ji Ran was in an unusually calm mood.

He said: "The version I heard is that Mrs. Ji left me behind."

"Really." Chen Qianqiong was not surprised at all, "Based on your understanding of Mrs. Ji, do you think she is willing to let someone who ruins the reputation of the Ji family stay?"

"Ji's family looks beautiful, but in fact it's not as good as some small families. It just has more money than others. Especially the old lady Ji, who looks like a lady of every family, but is actually old-fashioned and vicious. She is also a woman. But I feel that women are inherently inferior to men..."

Ji Ran smiled.

It's ridiculous, how many lies he has lived in for so many years.

"What about you." He asked, "Why do you keep me?"

"As long as you are here, in the eyes of outsiders, I will always be the weak partner in this marriage, won't I?" Chen Qianqiong has no scruples, "This will give me a lot of benefits, even in the future, I will have an absolute advantage in divorce or division of family property. .”

Perhaps, there is also a little sympathy for the woman who came to her door to beg her.

But only a few centimeters, insignificant, not worth mentioning.

"How about it." She recovered slightly, "You don't need to do anything, as long as you are not here, I can save a lot of effort. After it is done, I will..."

"I refuse." Ji Ran lowered his eyes and said calmly.

Chen Qianqiong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Why?"

"I don't trust you."

After leaving these words, Ji Ran turned and went back to the living room.

Chen Qianqiong looked at his back and lightly took a puff of cigarette.

-

"We're going back." Qin Man sat in the driver's seat, lowered the window, and said to the people outside the window.

"Okay, drive carefully and be safe." Mother Qin nodded.

"Is it convenient to give me a ride?" Chen Qianqiong came with a smile on her face, "I drank some wine, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to drive... I'll leave the car for you, and I'll send someone to pick it up tomorrow, okay?"

Before Mother Qin could speak, Qin Man spoke first.He coldly refused: "Sorry. It's inconvenient."

The car drove out of the house.Qin Man looked sideways at the person wearing a blindfold beside him.

"Did she make things difficult for you?"

"No one can make things difficult for me." Ji Ran closed his eyes.

Qin Man didn't speak anymore, the car returned to silence, and Ji Ran's heart also quieted down.

He was thinking back to what Chen Qianqiong had just said.

In fact, he believed more than half of what Chen Qianqiong said.

He had wondered before, if it was true what Mrs. Ji said, it took her a lot of effort to protect him from Chen Qianqiong, why did she go abroad directly and ignore him?Even Ji Guozheng may have done more than her.

Thinking of how he tried his best to endure and restrain himself in front of her before, Ji Ran felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

In the past, he would have agreed to Chen Qianqiong and turned the Ji family upside down.

But he refused.

He suddenly felt very tired and couldn't find the meaning of doing all this.

Ji Ran didn't suffer from secondary illness, and never thought of being an avenger.

From beginning to end, what he wanted was justice and the truth.

Just as he was thinking, his left hand was held by someone.

Through the blindfold, Ji Ran couldn't see anything, he could only feel the warmth of the opponent's skin.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Qin Man raised the temperature.

He originally thought that Ji Ran would throw him away immediately, and then scold him a few words.

Ji Ran didn't move at all, curled up his fingertips slightly, and let him hold her.

"Qin Man."

"Ok?"

"Look at my face." He said, "Is it written with the word idiot?"

"No, it just says 'I like Qin Man'."

"..."

A warm current poured into my tired heart inexplicably.

Ji Ran's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice for a long while, "...I'll take you to get glasses fitted some other day, you are nearsighted, at least [-] degrees."
