95 First Impressions
"Xiao Ying, you work as a police officer in a provincial capital. Your salary is very high, right?"
Liu Yanran lowered her head when her father asked this question. Sometimes she was really ashamed to sit at the same table with her father.
"Uncle, don't worry. Our police will definitely get to the bottom of the case and won't wrongly accuse anyone." Ying Mingyu didn't want to accept this kind of problem. "It's rare that I can contact you. I'm so happy. Let me
I must treat you well."
"It's a pity that she just returned to Beijing at the end of October to have her baby, and she won't be back for a while until her due date in February. When she comes back, we will pick you and your aunt up to visit the provincial capital and treat you well."
"We can talk about it later, but tonight, I don't know where I will live. I slept in the hospital last night, so now Yiyi is discharged from the hospital..."
Ying Mingyu was so smart and answered immediately, "That's no problem. I'll take you to the hotel later and find a hotel closer to Han University so that you can contact your cousin, okay?"
"Will it be expensive?" Liu's father was worried that his niece-in-law just sent him to the hotel.
"Don't worry about this. When you come to the provincial capital, you will be my and Qianqian's guests. How can I let you spend money?" After getting to know his uncle, Ying Mingyu decided to speak more clearly.
"That's good." Father Liu muttered in a low voice.
Liu Yanran's face turned red with anger and she was totally embarrassed to answer the question.
"Is my cousin studying in graduate school or working now?"
"I work in a publishing house."
"Qianqian sometimes helps people draw covers and interacts with people from publishing houses. You must be able to chat." Ying Mingyu had a good impression of this little cousin.
"Does my cousin paint? Qianqian...is that also her stage name? I seem to have seen the covers and illustrations she painted." Liu Yanran's mind finally turned around.
Ying Mingyu smiled. His wife was quite famous in a certain field, "Yeah, the first time I saw her signing and signing the painting, I thought it was funny."
"So, Qianqian is a painter, a famous one?" Liu's father actively participated.
"Not to mention being famous, Qianqian likes painting very much. However, because she was pregnant with the child, she was worried that it would be bad for the child if she sat for too long, so she didn't paint for a long time." At this point, Ying Mingyu felt a little bit when thinking that his wife had sacrificed a lot.
Feeling touched and sorry for my wife.
"Qianqian always thought that her only relative in the world was her father. She didn't expect to be able to contact her uncle. She must be eager to return home. When Qianqian comes back, cousins, you should come to play with her often. She must be very happy.
You are welcome."
"That's right. As an uncle, I have never met her. I have only seen photos of her when she was a child. I don't know what she looks like now..."
"This is easy. I'll make a video call with Qianqian. Let's say hello first and let Qianqian accept it. I didn't pervert the tasks she assigned me." After Ying Mingyu called his wife to explain the situation, he started using his mobile phone.
Video call.
"Honey, I'll give my uncle the phone and you can talk to him."
"Uncle, I'm Qian Qian. I'm really sorry that I didn't remember you before. I really want to hear more about my mother from you. I will definitely pick you up to play at home when I go back."
"The days ahead are long, Qianqian, you can take care of yourself and raise the baby first. It's enough for Xiaoying to take care of us." Liu Xiaoshuai noticed at a glance that his niece was very similar to his own daughter. They both followed his sister. "I'll introduce you to your cousin and your cousin.
Yanran, Yiyi."
Liu Yiyi took the phone, got together with her sister and greeted Lu Qianqian.
"Cousin, cousin." Lu Qianqian was very happy, it turned out that she had more than one cousin.
"Cousin, you work in a publishing house, that is, you are a writer. If you have the opportunity in the future, let me see your creations."
"My cousin is studying at Han University. She is really smart and got into such a good university." Lu Qianqian felt that her cousin looked similar to her, so she was very kind and had a good impression of her.
While they were introducing each other's names, jobs, and school affairs, Ying Jiarou came back from get out of class. She threw away her schoolbag and came over to Lu Qianqian, looking over her shoulder to look at her phone.
"Sister-in-law, who are you video chatting with? Are these two beautiful sisters your friends?"
Lu Qianqian introduced two cousins to her, and Ying Jiarou obediently called them.
"Jiajia is Mingyu's sister. She is eleven years old and is in primary school."
"Is this the call from my brother? Isn't he here?" Ying Jiarou looked for an acquaintance with a shy face.
Liu Yanran took the initiative and returned the phone to Ying Mingyu.
"Jiajia, don't lie on your sister-in-law, be careful of her belly."
"Brother is so annoying. He no longer loves Jiajia after having a baby, and he still talks about me. I am so good to my sister-in-law."
Lu Qianqian couldn't help laughing on the side, her husband loved to teach others too much.
"Then how are you treating your sister-in-law's baby? What are you going to give him when he is born?"
"Yes, I am making a string of star bracelets to give to the baby. After all, I am going to be an aunt."
Ying Jiarou's words not only amused Ying Mingyu, but also the other three people at the table.
"Who told you to be an aunt?"
"Mom, she said that when I grow up, I will take care of babies in the future. I am very good at taking care of babies. I have many babies and I take good care of them all." Ying Jiarou feels good about herself, "Brother Chen often visits my sister-in-law.
, and you went out to play with me. Brother, when will you come back to play with me? I miss you."
"Brother misses you too. When he has time, he will go back to see you and your sister-in-law. Now you go and play with Aunt Zhang for a while. If your brother has anything to say to your sister-in-law, okay?"
Ying Jiarou curled her lips and made a face, leaving the video range.
"Okay, hurry up and accompany your uncle and the others."
"I haven't spoken to you yet." Ying Mingyu glanced at the others, "You guys eat first, I'll have a chat with Qian Qian."
"By the way, have you ordered something light for your cousin?" Lu Qianqian asked the unreliable person.
"Of course. Is your husband so unreliable? Don't worry until I have settled the three of them before leaving." Ying Mingyu asked with a smile, "Are you bored at home? When this case is over, I will go back to see you.
How about it?"
"Can you please take three consecutive days off?" It will take a lot of time to come and go. If you only have two days off, you will have to go back if you can't stay for one day. It is too hard and the gain is not worth the loss.
"Because of this case, we assigned the task of going to the countryside for review to the second team. It's not a big deal after the case is settled, and there's Sister Fang in the team. It's okay if I ask for two more days. Jiajia misses me, don't you miss me?
?”
Even though he spoke in a lowered voice, the two girls still glanced at him.
Liu Yanran felt that her brother-in-law must like her cousin very much. When talking to her cousin, her smile was beyond words. It was the same when she talked to them before, and her words were always shallow.
Lu Qianqian looked at no one around and nodded, "I think so."
"I miss you too. That's settled."
"Okay. By the way, did Mother Chen tell you something?" Lu Qianqian thought of something small that she wanted to report, "Chen Chen has been coming to visit me at Ying's house recently. Mother Chen thinks this is not good, what do you think?
?”
"Then, why don't you just make an appointment with him outside?" Ying Mingyu didn't want his wife to be too bored at home.
"Sister Ran doesn't let me go out. Except for going for a pregnancy test, I stay at home."
"There are so many people outside and I'm not by your side. It's really inconvenient. Yi Sheng, did Xiao Qian and Jia Sheng go home to relieve your boredom?"
"Yes, don't bother them all the time. You won't help them at all."
"Then who made them friends with me?" Ying Mingyu didn't care.
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhang called for dinner." Ying Jiarou's voice sounded from far away to near.
"Honey, hurry up and go have dinner. My husband will report to you later." Ying Mingyu was still a little reluctant to hang up, and he would always take the time to call Qian Qian during meals.
After he hung up the phone, Liu Yiyi asked, "Are my brother-in-law and cousin newly married?"
Ying Mingyu curled his lips and nodded, "I got my certificate on June 1st this year, and it wasn't long before I found out that Qianqian was pregnant. I'm so busy with work that I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of her, so it would be safer to let her go back to Beijing for abortion."
Liu Xiaoshuai was watching the video where Lu Qianqian was sitting on the sofa and the house behind him. They looked spacious. He asked casually, "What does Xiaoying's house do? The house looks very big."
"My father is a civil servant like me, and my stepmother's family is in business, so she is not short of money."
"The Ying family is a big family, right? I heard you say that all the aunts live together?" Liu Xiaoshuai still wanted to find out.
"Aunt Zhang is in charge of the kitchen. As for Mother Chen, it's hard to describe. She is half mother to me and Qian Qian." Ying Mingyu answered all questions.
"Anyone else responsible for other things?"
"Well, there are also housekeepers and drivers. I heard that Qian Qian has hired a new nanny. There are more people at home now."
Liu Xiaoshuai was so surprised that he couldn't close his jaw. The conditions in his niece-in-law's family were really not that good.
After the meal, Ying Mingyu first sent Liu Yanran back to her residence, and then prepared to send Liu Yiyi back to Han University. The girl said she wanted to send her father to the hotel first.
"Dad is not familiar with the place here. I know where the hotel is and it will be more convenient."
It was already late, and Liu's father couldn't see anything when he went to school, so Ying Mingyu walked around the area and found a better hotel that was closest.
"Uncle wants to stay here until my cousin's case is cleared up, right? Can I help you get a room for three nights first?"
Ying Mingyu took care of the room and went up to check that it was OK, so he planned to send his cousin back to school.
"Xiao Ying, why don't we go see Yiyi off together, and then we can have a supper and a drink later?"
"Uncle must not have had a good rest when he came here. It's better to go to bed early tonight. If you get hungry later, we provide a meal ordering service. The meal fee will be recorded on your account. I will pay it when you check out."
"Yes, Dad, please rest first. If I don't have class tomorrow, how about I take you around our school and then play in the provincial capital?"
After going downstairs, Liu Yiyi quickly got into the passenger seat.
"Brother-in-law, how did you and your cousin meet?"
Ying Mingyu was a little powerless about this little girl's gossip, "It's similar to you. There was a murder case in their school, and I asked her to record a confession."
"My cousin is also a suspect?"
