Zhao Fengchun narrowed her eyes and patted Wu Qiaoyin's shoulder to comfort her.
…
The next morning, when Guan Liya went out for her morning exercise in her sportswear, she saw Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin at the entrance of the Wu family's villa.
Wu Qiaoyin raised her injured left hand. The thick white gauze made it impossible for Guan Liya to pretend that she didn't see it.
Last night, her grandson, who loved to gossip, had called her and praised Qi Chenglin's good deeds.
So Guan Liya knew how Wu Qiaoyin was injured.
"Liya!" Zhao Fengchun seemed very happy. "What a coincidence. Morning exercise!"
Guan Liya also pretended to chuckle and said, "Yeah, what a coincidence. You guys woke up early."
Zhao Fengchun saw the opportunity and immediately put Wu Qiaoyin's injured hand in front of Guan Liya. "Isn't Qiaoyin's hand injured? I brought her to the hospital to change the dressing. Aiyoh, you don't know, but when the child came back yesterday, she gave me a fright. Her hand was unrecognizable. Last night, she couldn't sleep because of the pain. She cried and lay on the bed, trembling. Later, I gave her the painkillers prescribed by the doctor, but it wasn't very effective. It was still very painful and she couldn't sleep well the whole night. Look at her dark circles. I really feel bad. "
"You've watched her since she was young. She's never suffered so much." Zhao Fengchun subconsciously leaned forward. "Didn't you hear anything last night? She was the one crying. My sister-in-law went out to buy groceries this morning. I heard that you could hear it on the road last night. "
The corner of Guan Liya's mouth twitched. She really didn't like Zhao Fengchun now. She didn't think she was so special in the past. She didn't know if Zhao Fengchun had changed in the past seven years or if she was special in the past, so special people attracted each other. She got along well with Zhao Fengchun.
"I really didn't hear anything." Guan Liya said with a fake smile, "We don't go out at night. The house is quite soundproof."
"Hehe." Zhao Fengchun felt that Guan Liya was playing dumb.
Guan Liya felt that Zhao Fengchun and her daughter were thinking highly of her, so she decided that she couldn't be so passive. She said, "Last night, Chenglin also called me and told me about it. I've already told him, he's already so old, how can he still be so careless when doing things? Look at how he squeezed Qiao Yin's delicate little hand, it's really not good. "
Guan Liya stepped forward and grabbed Wu Qiaoyin's injured hand. "Does it still hurt?"
As he spoke, he poked Wu Qiaoyin's finger, which was wrapped in thick gauze, with a particularly amiable expression.
"Ahh-!" Just as Guan Liya's finger fell, Wu Qiaoyin screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Her screams were so piercing that Guan Liya's ears hurt.
She endured it, but her face was a little pale from the pain. It looked like she was worried about Wu Qiaoyin.
"What happened?" Guan Liya touched Wu Qiaoyin's finger again. It was so painful that Wu Qiaoyin's whole body trembled. She cried until her tears flowed down. She couldn't care less about manners and forcefully swatted Guan Liya's hand away. Her right hand held onto her left wrist, and she squatted on the ground in pain, sobbing.
"Aiya, did … did I hurt you?" Guan Liya looked especially helpless. She took a step forward, as if she wanted to see Wu Qiaoyin.
Wu Qiaoyin trembled in pain and screamed, "Don't come over! Don't come over! It hurts … it hurts so much … "
"Aiya, how can this be good?" Guan Liya didn't move forward, nor did she retreat. She made Wu Qiaoyin unable to move even though she was in pain.
At this time, there were more and more people coming out for their morning exercise. There was also the housekeeper who carried a basket out to buy breakfast to go to the morning market and the supermarket. There were more and more people.
Everyone couldn't help but look over. The people who lived here were more reserved and didn't really surround them. However, they did their best to slow down and look as long as they could.
There were also people who walked their dogs, and they just wandered around the area.
"Qiaoyin, Auntie didn't do it on purpose!" Guan Liya said in a panic. Her voice was a little loud. The surrounding onlookers, who pretended to be passing by and didn't know what was going on, instantly looked over as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Guan Liya just stood there without moving. Zhao Fengchun was about to die from anger. Her eyes were sharp, and Wu Qiaoyin was too stupid to understand, but she knew that Guan Liya did it on purpose!
In the past, she had such a good relationship with Guan Liya, but now, Guan Liya actually turned her back on her and bullied her daughter in front of her!
However, Guan Liya had such a polite and caring attitude on the surface. It was hard for people to say anything, and they felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in their throats.
Zhao Fengchun took a deep breath. He didn't want to embarrass himself here anymore. He helped Wu Qiaoyin up, "Let's go to the hospital first."
"Right, right, right. It's more important to go to the hospital first." Wu Qiaoyin said, but she didn't move out of the way. "Qiaoyin, you have to be more careful in the future!"
Wu Qiaoyin was twitching. She was about to faint from the pain. At that moment, she really wanted to kick Guan Liya away.
"This time, it was our Cheng Lin's mistake, but you shouldn't cling to our Cheng Lin's office door anymore. It's so dangerous!" Guan Liya advised sincerely. "So you see, when our Cheng Lin closed the door, he accidentally clipped you!"
Zhao Fengchun was so angry that he almost fainted. Blood rushed to his brain, and he wanted to drag Wu Qiaoyin into the car.
Guan Liya's words were too deliberate!
Which one of the people around them wasn't a smart person? After hearing Guan Liya's words, they immediately thought of the cause and effect, and even made up stories that were more exaggerated than the truth.
They didn't show too much, but when they looked at Zhao Fengchun and Wu Qiaoyin, there was already a hint of contempt and mockery. The people who lived here were all legal wives, and the mistresses all lived in the mistress community.
It didn't matter if they wanted to be a mistress. In their circle, who didn't have a mistress? The younger generation snatched men, snatched girlfriends, competed with each other, and interfered in all kinds of ways.
The older generation had their own men keeping women outside, and Little Four and Little Five were also coveting them.
It was just that the smarter ones didn't make a fool out of themselves. Even if they wanted to be a mistress, they had to bite the egg. This Wu Qiaoyin, on the other hand, Qi Chenglin didn't want her, and now even Qi Chenglin's own mother stood up to embarrass her.
This was the rhythm of people chasing her out even though she was offering herself to them!
Her reputation was now tarnished. What could she do in the future?
Zhao Fengchun was abnormally embarrassed by the surrounding gazes, and he couldn't care less about politeness and style. He directly protected Wu Qiaoyin and walked past Guan Liya, not even saying goodbye.
Guan Liya didn't mind. After the two of them got into the car and left, Guan Liya stretched her arms, lifted her legs, cracked her neck, and jogged off.
…
These days, Chang Zhiyuan was suspicious of Chang Jingqiu's identity, so he was especially willing to observe her every move. The more he looked, the more suspicious he became.
On this day, he arranged to meet Old Liang at the red rooftop. The reason why they had arranged to meet here was because the red roof offered great privacy, and not just anyone could come here.
At least Chang Jingqiu wouldn't be able to enter without his membership card, unless she was extremely unlucky. It just so happened that Chang Jingqiu came here because of someone else, but he believed that it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
It wasn't Old Liang's first time here. As one of the top private detectives in the industry, many celebrities hired him to work, so it wasn't rare for him to meet here.
In the room, only Old Liang and Chang Zhiyuan were left. Old Liang took out a brown paper bag. It wasn't particularly thick.
Chang Zhiyuan didn't stand on ceremony. He directly opened the paper bag and took out a stack of photos. There weren't many photos, so it wasn't thick either. They were all of Chang Jingqiu's recent whereabouts.
Most of them were photos of Chang Jingqiu parking her car in front of Qi Lin's door.
Chang Zhiyuan found it strange. If Chang Jingqiu frequently went to Qi Lin's door, Old Liang just had to tell him verbally. How could he not believe it?
But when he took a closer look, he actually saw Ruan Danchen in the photos.
Ruan Danchen naturally had Qi Chenglin by her side, but he believed that Chang Jingqiu's focus was definitely on Ruan Danchen.
In the photos, Ruan Danchen sometimes appeared in front of Qi Lin's door, and sometimes she just happened to pass by Chang Jingqiu's Z4.
"I asked someone to follow her every day, and I realized that she would go to Qi Lin's door every few days, but she didn't do anything. She just waited to see Ruan Danchen, and when Ruan Danchen left, she also left. This week alone, she did it four times, "Old Liang said.
Chang Zhiyuan carefully looked at Chang Jingqiu's expression in the car. He didn't know if he was suspicious of her, so he was overthinking, but he felt that he could see her resentment.
What was Chang Jingqiu trying to do by reporting to Qi Lin's door every day? With such a resentful gaze, could it be that she wanted to directly harm Ruan Danchen and end it all so that no one could expose her identity?
Chang Zhiyuan unknowingly started thinking about conspiracy theories. He had long since stopped treating Chang Jingqiu as his niece.
"These are the things that I found out recently. There are also some personal matters that are more difficult to handle, so I'm still investigating," Old Liang said.
He thought about it and decided to say it first. "I checked her account and realized that since last month, there has been quite a lot of movement in her account. A total of 1.8 million was spent, and they were all cheques. Eight hundred thousand was withdrawn from J City, and the other one million was from B City. In J City, the withdrawal was made from an account called Wang Lixia, but in B City, I couldn't find it no matter what. To be able to do this, the other party must be very powerful. "
When he heard J City, Chang Zhiyuan's heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly widened. "Old Liang, if you don't forget, our Chang family was originally in J City. When she was carried into our house, we were still in J City. "
When Old Liang heard that, he frowned slightly and nodded. "I got it. I'll focus on checking in J City. From the way they withdrew money, we can tell that the other party is just an ordinary person. It shouldn't be difficult to find them."
…
After saying goodbye to Old Liang, Chang Zhiyuan felt very depressed. Before he knew it, he drove to Old Master Ruan's house. He looked up and saw that Old Master Ruan's house was brightly lit.
He noticed that the manhole covers around him were pasted with pink paper, and the word "double happiness" was pasted on the walls and telephone poles. When he looked again, the word "double happiness" was pasted on both sides of the door of the building where Old Master Ruan's house was located.
Only then did he remember that Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen were going to have their wedding tomorrow.
Previously, many families had received wedding invitations, but only the Chang family had not. Everyone knew the reason behind it.
During the period after receiving the wedding invitation, the Chang family had been laughed at and mocked.
That night, Ruan Danchen stayed at Old Master Ruan's house. Even Ruan Keshan's family came back to stay. Ruan Danchen did not have an elder brother, so Ruan Ze 'er would carry her tomorrow morning.
At that moment, she was watching television with Old Madam Ruan and her family in the living room. She did not feel nervous about the wedding at all.
Ruan Danchen felt that she and Qi Chenglin had already gotten married. Moreover, they had lived together for so long before getting married. They were like an old married couple, so she did not feel particularly nervous about the wedding.
However, Old Master Ruan and Old Madam Ruan were very pleased. They did not expect to see this day where they could see their granddaughter get married.
Although their granddaughter was already married, this was enough.
"Where's Ze 'er?" Old Madam Ruan looked around and found that her grandson was not there.
Chen Minxia blushed and said awkwardly, "He's exercising in his room."
She had just gone to deliver fruits to Ruan Ze 'er. This child did not have to study at night anymore. She did not know why he locked himself in his room. In the end, when she went in to take a look, her phone was placed in the phone holder, standing on the table, and he was lying on the ground doing push-ups.
The video call was still on. On the screen was Qi Youxuan, the little fatty, who was seriously counting for Ruan Ze 'er.
"Why did he suddenly think of exercising?" Old Madam Ruan muttered as she got up and went to the bedroom to take a look.
Her grandson had always been a slender and beautiful young man with an outstanding temperament. Was he going to train to become a muscular man?
She knocked on the door and heard her grandson panting inside. "Come in."
Old Madam Ruan went in and saw that her grandson was already sitting on the edge of the bed, panting. In front of him was the phone, chatting with the little fellow.
The age difference between these two brats was so big, but she did not expect them to have so much to talk about.
"Grandma."
"Great grandma."
The two brats called out together.
Old Madam Ruan happily answered and asked Ruan Ze 'er, "Why did you think of exercising so late at night?"
"Uncle has to carry mom tomorrow, so I exercised in advance!" The little fellow said in the video call.
"Oh, it's just one night of exercise. Is it useful?" Old Madam Ruan looked at her grandson's small body.
Ruan Ze 'er rolled up his sleeves and bent his arms. "I still have some muscles."
Old Madam Ruan looked at the very inconspicuous bulge. She could not bear to hurt her grandson, so she looked away, unable to bear to look at it.
"Uncle, why don't you go out and try it now? It's good to carry mom in advance and feel mom's weight. Otherwise, if you are not mentally prepared tomorrow, what if you can't carry her? "It would be so embarrassing to make mom look like she was overweight.
Ruan Ze 'er listened and felt that it was very reasonable. He nodded and handed the phone to Old Madam Ruan. Before he could say anything, the little fellow had already tacitly said, "Great grandma, help me hold the phone. Let me see."
Old Madam Ruan turned the phone to face the screen and followed Ruan Ze 'er out.
Ruan Ze 'er smiled shyly at Ruan Danchen, which made Ruan Danchen smile blankly. She put down the apple and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, let me try carrying you tonight?" Ruan Ze 'er said with a slightly red face.
Ruan Danchen thought it was no big deal, so she happily agreed. She moved away from the sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't the sofa a little short? It's inconvenient?"
Ruan Ze 'er nodded, so they went back to the bedroom. Ruan Danchen sat by the bed and waited for Ruan Ze' er to squat in front of her.
"I'm going up. Get ready," Ruan Danchen reminded him.
Ruan Ze 'er nodded. Ruan Danchen was still a little embarrassed and said, "Because I'm pregnant, I've been taking a lot of supplements recently. I've put on quite a bit of weight."
"It's okay. I can do it." Ruan Ze 'er nodded seriously.
Ruan Danchen took a deep breath and tried her best to lighten her weight. Only then did she tentatively jump onto Ruan Ze 'er's back.
The pretty boy's face instantly turned red and heavy. He was almost unable to straighten his back because of Ruan Danchen's weight.
Ruan Danchen also saw it and coughed awkwardly. "Ze 'er, if you feel that you can't do it, just tell me. Previously, Song Yu was carried by Qi Chengzhi. Actually, I can let Chenglin carry me this time too. "
The pretty boy shook his head firmly. "My family will carry me."
Hence, Ruan Ze 'er gathered all his strength and carried Ruan Danchen around the room. When he saw that he had completed one round and victory was right in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He struggled to move to the sofa. Ruan Keshan and Chen Minxia immediately carefully helped Ruan Danchen to sit down. They were afraid that Ruan Ze 'er's physical strength was too weak and would knock Ruan Danchen down again.
In the end, before Ruan Ze 'er could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a commotion on his phone.
"Young man, your stamina is weak!" Old Master Ruan's voice sounded.
"Why don't you park the car at the entrance of the apartment building tomorrow? Even if there's an elevator, you'll have to stand in the elevator for a while. Can you hold on? "Qi Zhongxun's voice also sounded.
"Look at your thin arms and legs. It's really worrying." Old Mistress's voice also sounded.
"Uncle, why don't you eat more tomorrow morning?"
Ruan Ze 'er looked at the screen and was extremely embarrassed. He did not know when the phone screen was already filled with the entire Qi family. They were all looking at him and panting.
Ruan Danchen was especially embarrassed and comforted, "Actually, it's all my fault for being fat."
"You're pregnant. Isn't that what you should be doing?" Guan Liya said. "Actually, I really couldn't tell that you've gained weight."
"Song Yu also had a big belly when he got married last year. Chengzhi carried her down without any effort." Xia Wenna shook her head and looked at Ruan Ze 'er with eyes full of encouragement.
Young man, you still have to work hard!
"When I carried Danchen, I didn't feel heavy at all." Qi Chenglin's voice sounded especially calm.
Ruan Ze 'er's face turned red with embarrassment. "I … I'll eat more tomorrow morning. It's no problem!"
On the phone screen, while the Qi family members were talking one after another, Qi Chenglin did not speak much. He only quietly looked at Ruan Danchen through the screen.
Because the wedding was going to be held tomorrow, Ruan Danchen returned to her parents' home.
Other than the necessary business trips, Qi Chenglin had never been separated from his wife. He did not see Ruan Danchen tonight, and his heart was indescribably sad.
Even if he sat with the entire Qi family without Ruan Danchen by his side, he still missed her badly.
It was not like in the past. Every Saturday at the Old Mansion, Ruan Danchen would always sit by her side. He could reach out and pinch her soft waist, and with a little force, he could pull her into his arms.
"Mommy, I miss you so much!" Qi Youxuan was at the very front, hovering over the phone screen. His words were especially pitiful and affectionate.
"I'll see you tomorrow. I still have to be Mommy's flower boy." Ruan Danchen smiled. "Go to bed early. You have to wake up early tomorrow morning. And now that you're asleep, you'll be able to see me again when you wake up. "
The little boy felt that this was reasonable, so he nodded. In the end, he tearfully complained to Ruan Danchen. In order to look good in the little suit, he had eaten very little today.
Ruan Danchen wanted to touch the little boy's tender little face the most. "Be good. Tomorrow's wedding banquet will be very delicious."
The little boy immediately felt that his father was going to be the groom tomorrow and could not take care of him. This was a good opportunity to eat meat.
The little boy was reluctant to leave. He only went back to sleep after Ruan Danchen hung up the phone.
Old Madam Ruan also urged Ruan Danchen to hurry back to sleep. "You have to wake up after four tomorrow."
Ruan Danchen then packed up and went back to her room to lie down on the bed. But just as her head touched the pillow, her phone rang.
She took a look and saw that it was a call from Qi Chenglin, and it was a video call.
Ruan Danchen picked up the call with a smile and saw that Qi Chenglin was also sitting on the bed. He must have rushed back to the bedroom after she hung up the phone.
Originally, when Ruan Danchen was outside with the Ruan family, she really did not feel nervous, nor did she have the awareness that the wedding was going to be held tomorrow.
But now that he was lying on the ground alone, he started to feel nervous.
She had always been used to sleeping in the same bed with Qi Chenglin. Now that there was no one beside her, she could not sleep.
Originally, she had always been used to being held in Qi Chenglin's arms. Even if she slept at night, she could not feel it. When she woke up in the morning, she had already fallen asleep with her back facing him. But her back was still very warm, tightly pressed against his chest. She was firmly held in his arms, as if her body was wrapped in a layer of cocoon.
Even if it was summer, Qi Chenglin would rather lower the temperature of the air conditioner in the room so that she would not feel hot, but cold, so that she had to snuggle in his arms.
Occasionally, when Qi Chenglin was away on a business trip, the little boy would hug the pillow and snuggle with her to sleep.
So since she moved into the famous garden, she had rarely slept alone.
Now, she was particularly not used to it.
Qi Chenglin saw that she was already lying on her side, so he also lay down, his head resting on his bent arm. He smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Did you miss me?"
"I'm really not used to sleeping alone. I didn't feel it before," Ruan Danchen said honestly. "Fortunately, it's only for one night."
"It's really not good to let the husband and wife sleep separately the night before the wedding." Qi Chenglin's thick eyebrows slightly twisted. He felt that this kind of behavior was really too inhumane. "Why don't I go over now?"
Ruan Danchen directly gave him a supercilious look. "I'm not living alone now. If you come, you will be stopped. Do you want to climb through the window? It's on the 10th floor! "
Qi Chenglin curled his lips and secretly thought that it was fortunate that it was only for one night.
He had already taken leave and left all the work to Qi Chengzhi and Jiang Yuan. After the wedding tomorrow, he would take Ruan Danchen on a honeymoon and leave the little boy in the old mansion.
Thinking of this, he still remembered that the little boy couldn't help but be very happy when he heard the news. Obviously, he felt that he could eat and gain weight without any scruples after getting rid of his supervision.
Under Qi Chenglin's cold gaze, he immediately put on a pitiful expression as if he couldn't bear to part with them.
At that time, Qi Chenglin chuckled. Who would believe it!
"Let's hang up. Go to bed early and come over early tomorrow," Ruan Danchen said with a slightly red face.
Qi Chenglin smiled. Ruan Danchen suddenly took the phone and pressed the screen against her face. "You gave me a goodnight kiss."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that her screen was also dark. After a while, it became clear again and she saw Qi Chenglin's face. Obviously, he had copied what she had done just now and also touched the screen to his face.
At this moment, his smile was especially warm and good-looking.
The two of them said goodnight. Qi Chenglin waited for Ruan Danchen to hang up the phone first before hanging up.
However, he didn't sleep. He sat up again, squinted his eyes and thought for a while. He ran to find some money and began to write quickly. Then, he took the paper to the living room.
He saw that the little guy, who was supposed to be sleeping, came out in his pajamas again and shouted at the old lady that he was hungry.
Qi Chenglin sneered. The little guy shook the fat on his belly. "I … I came out … to go to the toilet!"
"It's good that you came out." Qi Chenglin shook the A4 paper in his hand. "I asked the nutritionist and gave you the menu. During the ten days that we are not here, you will eat according to this. I heard that you can lose five pounds in ten days. So when we come back, I will let you weigh yourself. If you can lose five pounds, I will allow you to eat normal meat for three days a week when you come back. If you come back and find that not only did you not lose weight, but you have also become heavier, hehe — — "
The little guy shook even more happily. Thinking of his miserable life, even when his father went on a honeymoon, he was not allowed to live a good life. He suddenly felt that he had suffered more than a cabbage.
"Youxuan, Youxuan, it's hard to say when you will be hungry and full." The little guy sang the theme song of "Sanmao's Wanderings", changed the lyrics and ran away crying.
Qi Chenglin: "…"
Everyone in the Qi family: "…"
"He knows quite a lot of old songs," Qi Chengzhi said faintly. "When I was in the hospital, he sang Cabbage. Tonight, he can even sing Sanmao and rearrange it. "
The culprit, the old lady, was very proud. "My great-grandson is so smart!"
Qi Chengzhi: "…"
Qi Chenglin: "…"
…
Early the next morning, Qi Chenglin brought the group of troops from Yan Beicheng and rushed to the Ruan family.
After passing the test with great difficulty, he entered the door and saw his bride. Qi Chenglin glanced at Ruan Zeer's thin arms and felt that for Ruan Danchen's safety, he only asked Ruan Zeer to carry Ruan Danchen out of the bedroom and he received her at the bedroom door.
Ruan Zeer also breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was not so stressed anymore.
When Qi Chenglin took the initiative to carry Ruan Danchen, he only felt his waist sink and realized that Ruan Danchen was really heavy. He could not blame Ruan Zeer for being useless.
