But Chang Jingqiu still said, "Sure, but let's be clear. The five million is a one-time payment, right? Don't give me anything else. I gave you five million, but you don't want to admit it. You blackmail me every now and then, treating me like an ATM. "
"Of course not." Liu Ronghua sneered. "Besides, what else can you do other than trust me? I've promised you verbally, but I might go back on my word. You can't write a contract for this kind of thing. "
Glancing at Chang Jingqiu's expression, Liu Ronghua continued, "Of course, I'm not a commoner like Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia, so you don't have to worry."
Chang Jingqiu frowned and tapped on the steering wheel with her fingers. Liu Ronghua didn't rush her.
Actually, if Qi Chenglin hadn't pushed her too hard and set her up, she wouldn't have come to Chang Jingqiu. She knew that it was risky, and Chang Jingqiu wasn't a kind person. Offending Chang Jingqiu would only bring her one more enemy, which wasn't a good thing.
"Okay." Chang Jingqiu finally said.
Liu Ronghua smiled confidently. She didn't think that Chang Jingqiu would refuse.
"But I'm not an accountant, so five million is too much even for me. I need some time." Chang Jingqiu said.
Liu Ronghua didn't care how she got the money. As the young lady of the Chang family, it might be strange if she suddenly moved the money, but she could definitely afford it.
"How long do you need?" Liu Ronghua raised her eyebrows.
Chang Jingqiu seemed to think about it and said, "A week."
"Okay." Liu Ronghua nodded.
Chang Jingqiu looked gloomy and unhappy. "Since you've got the answer, get out of the car. I'm not in the mood to see you off."
Liu Ronghua understood Chang Jingqiu's bad mood, so she got out of the car without saying anything.
…
On Sunday, Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen had nothing to do at home, so they went to Jade Villa with the little fellow to visit Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya.
Although they met at the old house on Saturday, Guan Liya still missed her grandson and wanted to spend more time with him.
When the family of three walked in, Guan Liya was surprised. "Why are you here?"
"Didn't I bring You Xuan over to see you?" Qi Chenglin smiled and led Ruan Danchen in.
The little fellow went directly under their hands and shouted cheerfully, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here!"
Guan Liya's heart melted when he called her that. She picked up the little boy and said, "Aiyo, grandma's good grandson, what did you have for breakfast?"
On the other side, Qi Youxuan reported to Guan Liya honestly. Hearing his voice, Qi Zhongxun also came over. Looking at his chubby grandson, he smiled.
When Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen changed into slippers and went to the living room, they found that there were guests in the house.
It was a middle-aged couple, and there was a young girl sitting next to them. She looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, and no one knew what they were talking about. At this time, the girl still had a smile on her face.
When she saw Guan Liya carrying Qi Youxuan in, she smiled at the little boy and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Aiya, this must be Youxuan. You've grown so big."
Qi Youxuan looked at the girl with an indifferent expression. He was not as happy as before. "Auntie, who are you?"
The girl did not expect Qi Youxuan to not give her face. She looked a little embarrassed and looked at Qi Chenglin. She smiled and said, "Brother Qi."
Ruan Danchen looked at the girl's eyes, which were sparkling. She looked like a little girl, which was really very lovable.
Qi Chenglin's expression did not change, nor did he respond. He just took the little boy from Guan Liya's arms and let him stand on the ground.
Seeing that Qi Youxuan and Qi Chenglin ignored her, the girl became even more embarrassed. Her eyes fell on Ruan Danchen curiously, but she did not greet them.
Ruan Danchen did not know what Qi Chenglin's attitude was, so she did not rashly take the initiative to talk to the girl. She only wore a polite smile and no one could find fault with it.
"Haha, I didn't know you were coming today." Guan Liya smiled at Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen and quickly asked them to sit down. "Chenglin, do you still remember your Uncle Wu and Auntie Zhao?"
Guan Liya did not take the initiative to mention the girl.
Qi Chenglin turned his head and seemed to look at Guan Liya blankly. He did not speak, but it made the three people opposite him feel very embarrassed.
"We haven't seen each other for many years." Zhao Fengchun chuckled.
"Have you forgotten? Auntie Zhao is my childhood friend. She used to live next to our house. Later, our family emigrated to Italy. "Guan Liya turned to look at Zhao Fengchun." It's been seven years, right? "
"Yes, when we left, my girl hugged me and cried. She said she couldn't bear to leave, and she couldn't bear to leave her neighbor. I missed you very much in Italy. When we first went there, we didn't speak the language. Later, we spoke the language, but after all, we were from different cultures, so we couldn't really talk together. It's not as comfortable as here, where we can chat when we have nothing to do. " Zhao Fengchun smiled and said, "This time, we don't plan to leave. The house next door hasn't been sold, so we moved in."
Zhao Fengchun put his arm around the girl's shoulder and shook it. "My girl knew that we were coming back, so she was very excited. She kept asking if her neighbor brother still remembered her."
Wu Qiaoyin pursed her lips and smiled. She lowered her head slightly and shyly looked at Qi Chenglin.
However, Qi Chenglin's expression was indifferent, as if he did not recognize Wu Qiaoyin. This made her very disappointed.
"I still remember that when Qiaoyin was young, she loved to follow behind Chenglin. At that time, Chenglin loved to cause trouble with Chengzhi, and Qiaoyin would cause trouble with Chenglin. It's just that as they grew up, they started to have feelings for boys and girls. Chenglin gradually became less close to Qiaoyin, and didn't allow her to follow him anywhere. This made Qiaoyin cry at home for a long time. "Zhao Fengchun smiled and took a sip of tea.
Qi Youxuan sat on Guan Liya's lap and was nibbling on a plum. He suddenly said, "Grandma Zhao, my dad doesn't like girls who always cry."
Zhao Fengchun did not know how to respond to Qi Youxuan's words. Wu Qiaoyin blushed and said shyly, "I'm all grown up now. I don't cry anymore."
"Brother Qi, do you remember me now? I'm Yinyin who lives next door. "Wu Qiaoyin smiled sweetly and her voice was also sweet.
Even Qi Youxuan could not help but want to vomit when he heard that tone. He could not help but open his mouth as if he was going to vomit.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "Guan Liya touched the little boy's little face and asked.
The little boy shook his head. "The plum is too sweet. I'm sick of it!"
Wu Qiaoyin could not help but look at Qi Youxuan. She did not know if she was thinking too much, but why did she feel that this child was mocking her?
Guan Liya did not think too much about it. She brought him a cup of tea, blew on it, and brought it to Qi Youxuan's mouth. "Drink some tea to relieve the nausea. Drink slowly, it's hot."
Seeing that Qi Youxuan's attention was diverted, Wu Qiaoyin said, "Now that we're back, we have to walk more."
Qi Youxuan indicated to Guan Liya that he was done drinking and turned to Wu Qiaoyin. "Auntie Wu, my dad also doesn't like women who take the initiative. She should be like my mom. My dad pursued her for a long time."
"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Guan Liya pinched the little boy's cheek and looked at Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin embarrassedly. "He's just talking like a child. Don't mind him."
Wu Qiaoyin's lips twitched stiffly. She then said to Ruan Danchen, "This must be sister-in-law. I've never heard of you when I was in Italy, so I didn't know that Brother Qi was married and had such a big son. You look quite young. You don't look like you're in your thirties. "
She tilted her head slightly with an innocent look on her face. Her smile seemed to be unintentional.
Ruan Danchen smiled. She wanted to ask her how she could tell that she was in her thirties, but she could not help but yawn. She suddenly felt very embarrassed.
She did not mean it. They would probably think that she was being rude and deliberately made them feel uncomfortable. But she was really sleepy.
Sure enough, Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin did not look too good.
Wu Qiaoyin had a troubled expression on her face. She furrowed her eyebrows, which made her look even more pitiful. "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong?"
Ruan Danchen was stunned. Her reaction seemed to have slowed down recently. After a long time, she said, "No, it was a coincidence. Don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn again. Ruan Danchen also felt uncomfortable. Why did she feel that the more she tried to explain, the worse she felt.
Zhao Fengchun's face darkened and he twitched his lips awkwardly. Why did this daughter-in-law of the Qi family feel so weak? How could she show disrespect to the guests in front of the elders of the family?
"Auntie Wu, my father doesn't like women who are too fragile." Qi Youxuan suddenly said, making use of every opportunity.
Wu Qiaoyin's mouth moved and she chuckled. "Youxuan is so mischievous. Brother Qi and I have been neighbors since we were young. We grew up together, just like siblings."
Qi Youxuan did not say anything. He looked at her with a pair of big round eyes, but he obviously did not believe her.
Wu Qiaoyin looked at him and felt that he was asking for a beating. How did Ruan Danchen teach this brat?
"If you're tired, go and sleep for a while." Qi Chenglin saw that Ruan Danchen looked listless. Seeing that she was swaying and could not sit still at any time, he put his arm around her shoulder and let her lean on him.
Because the Wu family was sitting on the sofa, Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya sat on the single sofa on both sides, so he and Ruan Danchen could only sit on the chair.
It was fine for him to sit alone, but when he saw that Ruan Danchen was so tired that she could only sit on the hard chair without anything to lean on, he was a little unhappy.
Guan Liya saw that Ruan Danchen was really tired. She also knew that her daughter-in-law had to take care of her husband and son at home. She also had to go to work, so she must be very tired.
She knew Ruan Danchen's personality, so even if Wu Qiaoyin said that, Guan Liya did not believe that Ruan Danchen did it on purpose.
Seeing that she was so tired, she nodded and said, "Yes, go and rest for a while. Sleep in Chenglin's old room."
As she said that, Guan Liya looked at Qi Chenglin reproachfully. "Why are you making Danchen so tired?"
Qi Chenglin thought to himself, "I didn't ask her to do anything recently, so why is she so tired?"
In front of the guests, how could Ruan Danchen go to sleep by herself? She forced herself to stay awake, said that she was fine, and continued to sit there.
Qi Youxuan climbed down from the leg that was pressed down by the manager and rubbed against Ruan Danchen's leg. Ruan Danchen quickly protected him.
"Mom, I want to sleep too. Why don't you sleep with me?" Qi Youxuan hugged Ruan Danchen and rubbed against her arms, making Ruan Danchen's heart soften.
She gently tapped the tip of Qi Youxuan's nose with her index finger. She knew that the little guy said that because he wanted her to go to sleep.
Just as she was about to answer, the fragrance of Auntie Chen's cooking came from the kitchen.
Ruan Danchen felt very uncomfortable in her stomach when she smelled it. She felt a wave of nausea. There was nothing in her stomach, but she still wanted to vomit.
Qi Chenglin saw that her face suddenly turned pale and immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Qi Youxuan did not dare to stay in her arms anymore. Before Qi Chenglin could say anything, he went down and looked at his mother worriedly.
Ruan Danchen shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just that my stomach feels uncomfortable. I feel a little nauseous."
"Did you eat something bad? What did you eat for breakfast? "Guan Liya asked.
Qi Youxuan was already counting what they had eaten for breakfast. Ruan Danchen shook her head. "I didn't eat anything random. I just drank some tea to suppress it."
But as the smell coming from the kitchen became stronger, Ruan Danchen's face became paler and paler. The whole family was so nervous that the Wu family felt embarrassed to stay there and could not sit still.
"Go to bed. Rest for a while." Qi Chenglin was about to carry Ruan Danchen back to the bedroom.
Guan Liya also wanted to let Ruan Danchen rest, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked at Ruan Danchen and said, "Why don't we … go to the hospital?"
Before Ruan Danchen could react, Qi Chenglin nodded heavily. "Yes, let's go to the hospital!"
Ruan Danchen came back to her senses. She looked at Guan Liya and understood what she was thinking. Then, she looked at Qi Chenglin and knew that this man was not on the same wavelength as her mother-in-law.
Ruan Danchen thought about it. It seemed that there was a possibility. Guan Liya was not thinking too much, so she agreed. "Why don't we … go to the hospital?"
Zhao Fengchun secretly pouted. There were guests at home, but she still insisted on going to the hospital. Was she that delicate? Guan Liya's daughter-in-law was a little unpresentable.
Wu Qiaoyin also looked at Ruan Danchen unhappily. She felt that Ruan Danchen was trying to chase them away.
When Guan Liya saw Ruan Danchen's expression, she immediately pulled Ruan Danchen to the side. Qi Chenglin called out worriedly, "Mom."
"Brat, it's not like you want to bully Danchen. What's with that expression?" Guan Liya said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Qi Chenglin pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Guan Liya then asked Ruan Danchen softly, "Danchen, do you think so too?"
Seeing Guan Liya's excited look, Ruan Danchen was a little worried, so she said, "My period is late for seven or eight days. It has always been very accurate in the past, but I'm not sure. Mom, if it's not, don't be disappointed. "
"It's fine, it's fine." Guan Liya could not hide the smile on her face. "Don't you already have Youxuan? So, if you have another one, it'll be the icing on the cake. I'm not anxious even if you don't have one. Anyway, I already have a grandson. Our Youxuan is the cutest. Don't feel pressured. When can you give Youxuan a younger brother or sister to accompany him? Even if Youxuan is an only child, it's fine. Isn't there Chengzhi and Chengyue families to accompany him? "
Only then did Ruan Danchen relax and nod. Even she was a little excited and nervous. She really hoped that it would happen.
"We don't have contraceptives. I also want to have another one," Ruan Danchen said softly.
"Okay, okay, okay." Guan Liya was overjoyed. Old people always liked having more children.
After she finished speaking, she realized that Qi Chenglin and his son were extremely anxious. She could not help but roll her eyes at them.
What was with their expressions? Did she look like an evil mother-in-law?
Looking at Ruan Danchen's expression, Guan Liya felt that it was very likely. She was overjoyed. Thinking about the plump and soft grandchildren, one after another, first in her daughter's belly, then in her daughter-in-law's belly, she felt that life was really fulfilling!
"Let's go, I'll go with you." Guan Liya held Ruan Danchen's hand, but her movements were very careful, for fear that she would bump her. "Old Qi, you're here to entertain the guests! Old Wu, Fengchun, you two stay here and finish your meal before you leave. I'm really sorry, I'll accompany my daughter-in-law to the hospital. "
"Oh, what's wrong? Is it serious?" Zhao Fengchun stood up. "Why don't we not disturb you?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Guan Liya said with a smile. "It's not serious, but I'll feel more at ease if I go to the hospital."
Seeing that Guan Liya could still talk and laugh, Zhao Fengchun believed her. However, in his heart, he thought that Guan Liya was really good to her daughter-in-law, so he became nervous at the slightest discomfort.
Regarding Ruan Danchen's pregnancy, Guan Liya was only guessing. She was not sure, so naturally, she would not say anything.
Zhao Fengchun was also an experienced person. Seeing Guan Liya's reaction, he vaguely had some guesses.
However, if Guan Liya left, only Qi Zhongxun would be left here, so there was indeed nothing to talk about. It was especially awkward and annoying to look at each other.
Therefore, Zhao Fengchun also stood up. "I originally came to chat with you, so I won't hold you up. Since there's a special situation today, let's have a good chat later. Anyway, we're neighbors now, so we can see each other anytime. It's not a big deal. "
Hearing this, Guan Liya did not insist anymore. Qi Zhongxun also realized the reason why Guan Liya was so happy, so he immediately said that he would go with them. He told Auntie Chen not to rush to cook, and that they could eat hot food when they came back.
The two families said goodbye at the door. Seeing that the Qi family had all left, Zhao Fengchun frowned and looked at Wu Qiaoyin. "What were you doing just now?"
Wu Qiaoyin looked innocent, as if she did not understand. She lowered her head and tugged at her clothes. "What did I do?"
"What did you do? You know very well. Girls should know their place. Don't do things that people will look down on. You'll embarrass yourself and your family, "Zhao Fengchun said sternly.
Wu Qiaoyin's expression changed. She gritted her teeth for a long time before saying, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Having said that, she turned around and rushed to her own villa.
…
Wu Qiaoyin thought that she had concealed it well, but how could she hide her thoughts from Qi Chenglin and his family? Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya did not say anything because they were giving Wu Chuanshu and Zhao Fengchun face. After all, Guan Liya and Zhao Fengchun were childhood friends.
Even Qi Youxuan, that little fellow, was sensitive enough to notice it, let alone the adults in the family.
"Danchen, don't mind the Wu family. I didn't know that they would come back. They suddenly came to visit. Zhao Fengchun is a smart person, but he did not expect his daughter to be so inconsiderate." Guan Liya explained. Seeing Wu Qiaoyin's behavior today, she was a little unhappy. But in front of her parents, she could not say anything.
"It's okay," Ruan Danchen said nonchalantly. "It's just a little girl who doesn't know anything."
She really did not care about Wu Qiaoyin. It could be said that she was spoiled by Qi Chenglin to the point that she did not care about any other woman. She was just so confident that she did not think that anyone could catch Qi Chenglin's eyes and seduce him.
