This was a blatant way of sending the guest off.
Zhao Fengchun didn't expect Qi Chenglin to not give him any face. He stood up unhappily. He felt that although Qi Chenglin treated people coldly in the past, he was not lacking in etiquette. He had never ignored a guest like this before. He was completely led astray by Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen didn't pay much attention to them since she came in. Now, she was minding her own business and eating the bird's nest. Therefore, one must marry a virtuous wife. What the family was most afraid of was having an unvirtuous wife who would lead a good man astray.
"Then we'll take our leave first," Zhao Fengchun said politely with a smile. He had a good upbringing.
When Wu Qiaoyin saw that Zhao Fengchun wasn't going to mention it anymore and was about to leave, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She hurriedly said before Zhao Fengchun could stop her, "Brother Qi, about the matter I asked you for help just now … you …"
Wu Qiaoyin was like a little white flower. She stood in front of Qi Chenglin in a delicate and timid manner. Separated by a coffee table, she grabbed the corner of her shirt with both hands and looked at Qi Chenglin with a blushing face.
Her behavior didn't affect Ruan Danchen's mood. She held the thermos and drank the sweet and slippery bird's nest, treating Wu Qiaoyin like a drama.
Qi Chenglin immediately frowned. He looked at his wife, who looked like she was watching a good show. He wondered if she was jealous and was thinking about how to punish him later.
Thus, Qi Chenglin's expression was very serious and solemn. He said in an inviolable manner, "The Wu family also has their own company. It's quite a big business. It's more convenient for Miss Wu to go to your own company."
"But …" Wu Qiaoyin pouted her pretty red lips but was interrupted by Qi Chenglin again.
"Miss Wu isn't studying interior design or architecture design. Naturally, you're not suitable for our position in the design department. As for other positions, the Wu family's company also has them. Why do you insist on coming to Qi Lin? If something happens and we neglect Miss Wu, it will also hurt the relationship between our two families. It's more convenient for Miss Wu to find a suitable position in your own company based on your major. Our company might not be able to give Miss Wu a satisfactory position. " Qi Chenglin said indifferently. He only glanced at Wu Qiaoyin, then retracted his gaze and looked at Ruan Danchen eating the bird's nest, as if looking at Wu Qiaoyin for too long would hurt his eyes.
"Even if it doesn't match, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, I can learn more. It's also a kind of training for me." Wu Qiaoyin said shyly. She twisted her fingers and looked at Qi Chenglin expectantly.
"There are many ways to train yourself. Miss Wu, if you really want to improve yourself, you can enter your own company and hide your identity. You can start as an ordinary employee and rely on your own ability to get promoted step by step. Anyway, Miss Wu has just returned to China, so I don't think the employees in your company know you yet. " Qi Chenglin said with a sarcastic smile, "I think Mr. and Mrs. Wu are very pleased that Miss Wu is so ambitious."
"I …" Wu Qiaoyin was blocked off by his words and couldn't come up with any more excuses.
Zhao Fengchun also couldn't watch his daughter be embarrassed here, so he quickly pulled Wu Qiaoyin out.
She could also hear Qi Chenglin saying to Ruan Danchen, "I have a social engagement tonight, so I can't go home with you. You can go directly to pick up Youxuan. Leave early today. Don't wait until it's time to get off work. "
Qi Chenglin was afraid that she would be too tired after a day in the company, and it would be uncomfortable to sit all the time.
Ruan Danchen felt that Manager Zou wouldn't dare to assign her any work anyway. Instead of wasting time here, it was fine to get off work early to pick up the little fellow, so she agreed.
…
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yang had already gone to the parking lot to get his car and was waiting for her at the entrance of the company.
When Ruan Danchen arrived at Jixia Academy, she was a quarter of an hour late because of the traffic jam. However, when she drove to the entrance of Jixia Academy, she saw Wu Qiaoyin standing with the little fellow at the school entrance.
However, the little fellow was obviously facing Wu Qiaoyin in a confrontational manner, and his homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu, was standing beside him.
Ruan Danchen hurriedly got out of the car and walked over. When Qi Youxuan saw Ruan Danchen, it was as if he had seen his pillar of support and his entire body relaxed. He opened his chubby arms and shouted "Mommy" as he ran towards her.
Just as he was about to hug Ruan Danchen, he suddenly braked and stopped. Then, he carefully walked over and gently hugged Ruan Danchen, his little face rubbing against her stomach.
Because Old Madam and Guan Liya had instructed him not to tell others about Ruan Danchen's pregnancy. Therefore, the little fellow endured the pain and did not ask Ruan Danchen about his sister's condition at the entrance of the kindergarten, which was crowded with people.
"Mommy, why are you here with Uncle Xiao Yang today?" the little fellow asked excitedly, his voice exceptionally loud and clear.
"Daddy allowed me to get off work early to pick you up." Ruan Danchen's face flushed with excitement at her son's cuteness. She did not know how the little fellow grew up to be so adorable, just like a little lucky doll.
"Where's Daddy?" Qi Youxuan asked.
"He has a social engagement tonight and won't be with us, so I'm here to pick you up." Ruan Danchen ruffled his hair and looked at Wu Qiaoyin. "Why are you here, Miss Wu? I didn't know that the Wu family also has a child studying here. "
Embarrassment flashed across Wu Qiaoyin's face, and then she said timidly, "I heard that Brother Qi has work and can't come to pick Youxuan up. I'm afraid that the child will be scared, so I came to help Brother Qi pick Youxuan up."
As she spoke, she winked at Qi Youxuan. "What do you think? Auntie didn't lie to you, did she?"
Ruan Danchen stopped smiling and heard Teacher Liu ask, "Mrs. Qi, do you know this young lady?"
"I've only met her twice, not really." Ruan Danchen glanced coldly at Wu Qiaoyin and said.
"Mommy, I was waiting for Uncle Xiao Yang to pick me up at the school gate just now, but I didn't expect to meet this auntie. She told me that Daddy had a social engagement and couldn't pick me up, so she came to pick me up. I don't know her. Who knows if she's a human trafficker who's here to kidnap me? I'm so clever and cute, so it's easy for me to become a target for human traffickers. "The little fellow tugged at Ruan Danchen's hand.
He simply hugged Ruan Danchen's hand with both hands and rubbed his chubby little face on the back of her hand like a piglet.
"Yes, Youxuan, it's good that you're so alert. You can't go with a stranger you don't know." Ruan Danchen stroked the little fellow's head and praised him softly.
The little fellow immediately panted with a proud look on his face. He held his head high and his chin up. "Mommy, don't worry. I'm smart. I won't go with random people!"
"I don't know her. Why would Daddy ask a stranger to pick me up? Besides, it's always Uncle Little Yang who comes to pick me up and take me to find you. Dad doesn't go with Uncle Little Yang, so Dad doesn't have time to pick me up in person most of the time. Why would he pick me up today and let a strange auntie pick me up? "
Qi Youxuan frowned at Wu Qiaoyin. He became impatient when he saw Wu Qiaoyin's innocent look.
Wu Qiaoyin said aggrievedly, "Youxuan, how can we say that we don't know each other? Didn't I just go to your grandmother's house? You were there too. I live next door to your grandmother's house. I'm a neighbor. I even held you in my arms when you were a child. "
The little fellow was unhappy when he heard that. He pouted and said, "If seeing someone means knowing them, I see a lot of strangers on the street every day. Do I know them all? Do I know them? "
Ruan Danchen pinched his shoulder. "You can't be rude."
The little fellow pouted even higher. "Mommy, you don't know. She insisted on taking me away just now. Who knows where she was going to take me. Fortunately, Teacher Liu was here and didn't let her take me away. Teacher Liu has been waiting for you here with me. "
Ruan Danchen quickly thanked Teacher Liu. If Qi Youxuan was really picked up by Wu Qiaoyin, Qi Youxuan might not be in danger. But she couldn't pick up the little fellow here. Hearing that he was picked up by a stranger, how could she not be anxious?
"Teacher Liu, thank you so much this time." Ruan Danchen said sincerely.
"It's nothing. It's my duty." Teacher Liu said.
"Teacher Liu, I'll have to trouble you in the future. If my husband and I can't pick her up, we can't send a driver. If we want someone other than our family to pick up Youxuan, we'll definitely tell you first. But as long as we don't tell you, you can't let anyone take Youxuan away. "Ruan Danchen said.
"Don't worry. I'll also tell the other teachers and the security guard at the school gate. They'll keep an eye on him." Teacher Liu said.
Ruan Danchen thanked her again. Teacher Liu had done her duty and left first.
Wu Qiaoyin looked at Ruan Danchen aggrievedly. "Sister Ruan, you … how can you say that? I have no ill intentions towards Youxuan. Brother Qi has a social engagement tonight and you have to work. I was afraid that no one would pick up Youxuan, so I came over. I planned to take him back to your house and leave. I … I just wanted to help. Why does it seem like … like you think badly of me? "
Ruan Danchen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She didn't know if it was because she was pregnant, but hearing her call her Sister Ruan and Brother Qi made her want to vomit.
"Miss Wu, did you come here to pick up my son with Chenglin's consent, or did you get my consent? Or did you get the consent of the elders in my family?" Ruan Danchen's voice was a little stern.
Wu Qiaoyin opened her mouth and struggled for a long time before saying, "I just wanted to help …"
Looking at Wu Qiaoyin's pitiful look, it was as if Ruan Danchen had scolded her.
Ruan Danchen pursed her lips. She knew that she was doing it on purpose for others to see. There were many people who came to pick up their children from school, so they could all see it.
However, did Wu Qiaoyin think that she could ruin her reputation by doing this?
These people were all smart people. From Wu Qiaoyin's attitude, anyone with a discerning eye could tell what Wu Qiaoyin was thinking. Who would stand up for a mistress?
The person who came to pick up the child was either the family's driver, nanny, or wife.
Not every rich family was as clean as the Qi family, especially those families that could send their children to Jixia Academy. Most of the men in the family would have at least one or more mistresses outside.
Some wives were good and could control their men. Some men were simply too much of a scumbag. Their wives would allow them to keep mistresses outside, but they would not allow those mistresses to endanger their own status. They would not allow those men to give too many benefits to those mistresses outside. There were also some who were not good and lived a more miserable life. Even though they had the reputation of being the wife, the men almost never returned home. Even if they had to entertain and attend banquets, they would always bring mistresses outside.
However, all wives looked down on mistresses. Wu Qiaoyin's act at the school gate was really for nothing. No one would feel that Ruan Danchen was in the wrong because of her.
If the wife did not attack the mistress, was she supposed to be polite to the mistress?
No matter what Ruan Danchen's previous identity and background was, she was Qi Chenglin's wife and was recognized by the Qi family. Wu Qiaoyin could not do anything right, but she insisted on using the son of the Qi family. She was even seen by the biological mother. Wasn't she rushing to be scolded?
If this happened to them, they would be even more rude than Ruan Danchen.
This kind of shameless woman could not be easily forgiven!
Therefore, no one expressed their disapproval of Ruan Danchen's actions. While waiting for the child, they watched the wife fight the mistress and looked at Wu Qiaoyin with disdain.
However, Wu Qiaoyin felt that these disdainful gazes were directed at Ruan Danchen. Therefore, she portrayed the image of a weak little white flower with more vigor and depth.
"I wonder what Miss Wu is helping me with? Miss Wu came to my husband's office today. Before she left, she heard Chenglin tell me that he had a business dinner tonight, so Miss Wu rushed to fetch my son, right? "Ruan Danchen narrowed her eyes.
She did not know if Wu Qiaoyin thought that as long as she did not clearly say that she wanted to be a mistress, Ruan Danchen would not be able to do anything to her. In any case, Ruan Danchen felt that Wu Qiaoyin was quite ridiculous. Even if she did not clearly say it, she used her actions to explain everything. Why did she have to be polite to Wu Qiaoyin?
"I just want to help," Wu Qiaoyin said pitifully and aggrievedly.
Ruan Danchen curled her lips coldly. "Chenglin's words are meant for me. It's already very impolite of you to listen to the private conversation between us husband and wife. How dare you come here to 'help' me on your own accord? Did Chenglin ask you to pick up Youxuan, or did I ask you to, or did the elders in our family tell you so, and you came? Miss Wu, in the end, this is our family's matter. Isn't it inappropriate for you to come and interfere on your own initiative? "
"You said you wanted to help, but Chenglin had already told me to pick up Youxuan. And if you pick up Youxuan before me, and I can't find my son when I come here, what do you think I will feel? Won't I be anxious? You came to pick up my son, but what right do you have? In a family like ours, everyone knows the importance of the safety of their children. We all let people we trust pick up our children from school. Otherwise, if something bad happens and something happens, who will be responsible? What if something happens to the child? If something happens to him after you pick him up, can you afford to be responsible? "
"I … I didn't think so much. I just want to help. I mean no harm. Sister Ruan, don't say that to me. I feel bad. "Wu Qiaoyin pursed her lips and pressed her hands on her chest. Her face was pale.
"If you don't think so much, don't do so much. Even if we don't have time, Xiao Yang will come to pick him up. And Youxuan just said that Xiao Yang has always been the one to pick him up. Before returning to China, our family has always done this. Why does it seem like our family can't even take care of our own child when you're here? We still need an outsider like you to secretly worry about us. Should I thank you? "Ruan Danchen said coldly. She was not polite at all.
Wu Qiaoyin's lips trembled, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall.
"Sister Ruan, you … why are you so mean?" Wu Qiaoyin choked with sobs.
"If being mean can make you remember not to meddle in our family's affairs, I'm willing to be mean no matter how mean you are." Ruan Danchen was not affected at all. She looked at ease. "This is the first time I've seen someone as friendly as Miss Wu. She can call my husband 'Brother Qi' in front of me. She's so comfortable calling me 'Sister Ruan'. Miss Wu is also a very polite person. And she's very enthusiastic. She came to pick up my son behind our parents' backs. My son refused to leave, and she dragged him away. I can't stand her enthusiasm. "
The little fellow hugged Ruan Danchen's thigh and took the opportunity to nod vigorously. "Yes. Mom, I just told Auntie Wu that Uncle Xiao Yang will come to pick me up. Except for my family and Uncle Xiao Yang, no one will pick me up. But this auntie just won't listen. She insisted that she's Dad's good friend. She said that Dad has no time to pick me up tonight and will take me home. "
With that, the little fellow pressed his face against Ruan Danchen's thigh again to cover himself. He secretly raised his chubby little hand and dug his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes were red, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances.
His two chubby little arms tightly hugged Ruan Danchen's thigh. He looked up and said pitifully, "I was scared to death. She dragged me away like that, as if she wanted to abduct and sell me. Fortunately, Teacher Liu arrived in time. Otherwise, I don't know where she would have taken me, and I wouldn't have been able to see you again! "
The little fellow said in a tearful voice. As he spoke, he seemed to be even more uncomfortable. He burst into tears, and the onlookers could not bear to cry.
Someone couldn't help saying, "She's so ignorant."
As for who the ignorant person was, everyone could tell.
"Sob, sob, sob, sob. Mom, how could she do this? She came to take me away without telling you. I wanted to wait for Uncle Xiao Yang, but she wouldn't let me. Who is she? Why does she think that she has the final say? I don't even know her! I know all of Dad's friends. Dad doesn't have any female friends. I can tell that she's lying. How could she lie to such an innocent child like me! " The little fellow pressed his forehead against Ruan Danchen's thigh and rolled his forehead left and right on her thigh.
"She's so scary. I'm going to go back and tell Dad that this auntie is not good. Tell Dad to ignore her. She's bad." The little fellow raised his head. His little face was red from crying, and his nose was red. He sniffled and rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform for Ruan Danchen to see.
"Mom, look, she's using so much force. My wrist is red." The little fellow said with grievance. "She's a bad auntie!"
Although she knew that the little fellow was putting on an act, seeing the red handprint on his delicate and fair wrist, she immediately felt sorry for him. She quickly held his soft little hand and carefully touched the red handprint on his wrist. She did not dare to use any strength. As soon as she touched his wrist, she was afraid that she would hurt him, so she immediately left.
"Does it hurt?" Ruan Danchen asked with concern.
Actually, the little fellow did not feel much pain, but now in front of so many people, he decided to disgust Wu Qiaoyin to death. He would coax Ruan Danchen in the car later.
So he nodded with tears in his eyes. "It hurts."
Wu Qiaoyin was anxious. At this moment, she could no longer mistake the disdainful gazes around her. They were all directed at her.
"No, I didn't use any strength. I —"
"Don't you know that children have delicate skin? I can't even bear to hit my son. Look at the wound you left on him. What right do you have to do that?! "Ruan Danchen was furious." The Wu family really has a good upbringing! "
"You said that you wanted to help, but in the end, you dragged my son away. Now you say that you didn't use any strength. Do you think I'll believe you? " Ruan Danchen picked the little fellow up. "Miss Wu, if you really feel sorry, please stay away from my son in the future."
