At this moment, Ye Chien's mood was … calm. Sometimes, people were too enthusiastic, and it was a little hard to handle. After a short pause, Du Jiayi and Mother Qin caught up to him.
"I finally caught up to you. Luckily, I didn't get the wrong person. Otherwise, I would have been embarrassed."
Du Jiayi spoke to Ye Chien in a relaxed and familiar tone. Of course, she was putting on an act for Mother Qin. No matter how much she disliked Ye Chien, she had to be polite in front of Mother Qin.
Ye Chien, who had met her many times, knew her tricks. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "If I continue to walk forward, I will indeed be embarrassed."
Just like before, she didn't give Du Jiayi any face at all. After saying that, Ye Jianjian noticed that the smile at the corner of Ji Yunshu's mouth had stiffened. Her hands were gripping the handle of the exquisite handbag so tightly that the veins on the back of her hands could be seen.
They clearly hated each other, but they still had to rely on their relationship to maintain harmony. Ye Chien didn't think he had enough kung fu to do what Du Jiayi did.
"That's why, luckily you heard me. Long time no see, Ye Chien. "
Du Jiayi, who had a stiff smile, didn't want to embarrass herself. She politely took the initiative to extend what she thought was a "friendly" hand. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Chien with a hint of anticipation.
What was she anticipating?
She was anticipating that Ye Chien wouldn't give her any face and wouldn't even know the basic courtesy of shaking hands.
It wasn't that Ye Chien didn't know how to be polite in front of others or behind others. She just didn't care.
Since it wasn't that he didn't know how to be polite, Ye Chien laughed and extended his hand naturally. She didn't follow the script and said politely, "Long time no see."
They weren't familiar, but she wouldn't give him a chance to embarrass himself. She also wouldn't sit around and let him scheme against her.
When Ye Chien shook her hand, he purposely used a little more force. At the same time, he didn't withdraw his hand in time. Du Jiayi, who thought that Ye Chien would be rude, was shocked instead …
She already hated Ye Chien to begin with. She had even pretended to shake Ye Chien's hand. She had calculated that Ye Chien also hated her and would not really shake hands with her. In the end... the moment they shook hands, Du Jiayi instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand. Unexpectedly, Ye Chien was faster than her and grabbed her hand tightly.
In the end, it became Du Jiayi's fault.
Her expression changed in shock, and the reaction in her brain was immediately transmitted to her hands. She flung her hands away as if she had been electrocuted, and Mrs. Qin, who was beside her, saw it clearly.
"Sorry, my hand is sweaty..." After shaking her hands, Du Jiayi knew that she had made a mistake. She immediately apologized to Ye Chien. In order to prove that her hands were really sweaty, she hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Ye Chien. "I walked too fast just now and chased after you in a hurry. Your hands are sweaty, right? Quick, wipe them."
Ye Chien didn't take the tissue. He smiled at Du Jiayi, who was trying to salvage the situation, and said, "You wipe them first, I'm fine."
Mrs. Qin, who paid close attention to her future daughter-in-law's every move, relaxed her expression. She smiled at Ye Chien and said gently, "Hello, Ye Chien. I'm Qin Xiu's mother. We've met once at the hospital. Do you still remember me?"
His impression of her was too deep. He wouldn't be able to forget her for a while, but even if he did, he couldn't say it out loud.
He shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't remember you."
"That's right. Auntie didn't have a good chat with you that day. Ye Chien, don't be nervous. Auntie doesn't have anything else to say. We just happened to meet today, and I know that you have a good relationship with Qin Xiu. Can you tell Auntie how Qin Xiu has been recently?"
The older, the wiser. Although Mrs. Qin looked down on Ye Chien's background, she didn't show it. Her tone and expression were very gentle.
