Chapter Forty-Four(1/2)
Yaya, who heard the noise, ran over with joy on her face and said, "Little miss!"
Xi Mingyue said nothing, touched her little face, pursed her lips and smiled: "Be good."
Looking at the confused people, he wrote lightly: "Isn't my sister-in-law back? Why haven't I seen her?"
"She is talking to your third aunt in the room and will come down later," Xi Jielin replied.
"Why don't you see Jingrong?"
"Little Miss," as soon as she finished speaking, a servant trotted over not far away, with a solemn expression. He looked around and nodded respectfully, then returned to her: "The eldest master is waiting for you in the study. Please come over."
You can never escape what is coming.
He gave Yaya a comforting look, said goodbye to several elders and entered the study.
The Xi family has an antique style, and my grandfather would light agarwood as he liked. There are incense burners of different shapes at regular intervals in the corridor, which can promote qi and relieve pain, and warm and stop vomiting.
Different from the sandalwood fragrance on Li Jin, it is slightly bitter and strong, accompanied by milky and sweet fragrance. The tail fragrance is slightly spicy, giving people a harsh feeling, and has both aloof and gentle characteristics.
Unlike most agarwood, which penetrates in strands, each strand gives people a different feeling. The aroma of sandalwood is diffuse, surrounding her densely.
Go to the door, collect your thoughts, adjust your facial expression, and knock on the door.
The expected words did not come out, but Xi Zhenzhong's rather sarcastic voice came from inside: "I have only been away from home for a day, and you already know the rules so well that you even know how to knock on the door when you enter?"
…
She pursed her lips secretly. She had knocked on the door before, so it was obviously intentional.
"Grandpa, Mingyue knows that she is wrong." She lowered her head and her voice sounded like a mosquito.
Getting to the point, Xi Zhenzhong was sitting on a chair made of rosewood, leaning on a crutch with a gloomy expression. Xi Mingyue felt guilty for no reason, feeling that the crutch would swing at her at any time.
There is the psychological shadow of being beaten.
"You are not a child anymore, how can this kind of thing be trivial?"
"My...grandpa, Li Jingrong also knows about this, but now...he has been asked to go abroad by the old lady of the Li family, and he will have to wait for a while before he can come back..."
Mrs. Li, I'm sorry. You ordered someone to kidnap me before, and now I'm using your name. Don't be surprised.
Hearing this, a strange color flashed through his slightly cloudy eyes, and he looked at the girl who was sincere in admitting her mistake, "Aren't you going to lie to me?"
She nodded sincerely and affirmed: "Even if I have lied to you before, after this time I will never dare to do it again!"
"Then tell me, who came up with the idea? Who is going to mess up the Xi family?"
The expression on his face made him want to find out that person immediately and stare at him with his vigorous eyes!
Xi Mingyue felt a chill in her heart, pursed her lips, and had a quick brainstorm.
"Former Xinqing President!" Her eyes flickered, and she said she was not lying. She was almost becoming a big liar...
"As you know, Xinqing Industry covers a lot. Although the Li family leader has taken over, many minor matters have not been handed over yet. When the handover is completed, Li Jin will become Li Jin. When the time comes, be accommodating to him and explain it well.
Neither Li Jingrong nor I suffered at the wedding."
She felt that there was nothing wrong with her words, and even her eyes lit up a bit.
Seeing my grandfather thinking and thinking, he struck while the iron was hot, "I never had any feelings for him. He didn't like me. He didn't tell you in detail due to some reasons. It's our fault."
She has to admit her mistake.
"It's not sweet to be strong. You know my temper best. Mrs. Gu doesn't know today either. My grandson has already admitted his mistake and was almost punished by family law..."
As soon as he heard that his precious granddaughter was being punished, he suddenly became nervous and said, "I think it's time for you to restrain your temper."
"It's okay if you're not sensible, A Jin is not sensible either, this matter must be explained to everyone, neither you nor Li Jin, Li Jingrong can escape punishment!"
When these words came out of the grandfather's mouth, Xi Mingyue's heart trembled, "Grandpa and grandson know their mistakes. All the mistakes they made are their fault. The Li family... better not get involved."
She couldn't openly protect Li Jin, so she had to take it out together with Li Jingrong.
"Of course it's your fault! You guys actually lied to us, a group of elderly people...or elders! The family rules are strict, which one of you have understood?!"
Without any warning, Xi Zhenzhong picked up the crutch and stabbed it at the floor. The sound was vibrating to the soles of her feet, and the coldness went straight from the soles of her feet to Tianling Gai.
The matter is no small matter.
"They are right...I just spoiled you too much and spoiled you rotten!" From today on, he would grit his teeth and teach her a lesson.
Xi Zhenzhong's chest was heaving, and Xi Mingyue was full of worry. She knelt down on the ground, looked at him and said sincerely: "Grandpa, it's my grandson's fault! Grandpa has violated family rules, please punish him."
She has just recovered. If she takes another beating, she may have to lie down until the Chinese New Year.
Her eyes were sparkling, and the retro contrasting colors added a touch of sadness to her cold face.
Xi Zhen was very reluctant to let her go, but he couldn't keep her in the greenhouse forever.
"I will ask clearly A Jin, you go down first." Xi Zhenzhong's face flushed with anger, he walked to Chen Xiang and closed his eyes heavily. After Xi Mingyue left, he sighed heavily.
Feeling uneasy, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Jin, asking her to agree not to reveal anything about her confession.
The other party quickly sent a message: [Your grandfather is calling me.]
Are you on the phone and still sending messages? Doing two things at once...
He looked unconcerned, but quietly stepped back step by step, lying next to the door and pricking up his ears.
The study is soundproofed and cannot be heard.
"Forget it, I don't want to know that much!"
When she returned to the room, she saw no one and locked herself in the room alone, with Yaya guarding the door.
She stood on the balcony and looked into the distance, her cold eyes long and distant, as if whispering to the wind, "Mom, Dad, what should my daughter do..."
"Grandpa is right. I was spoiled. I don't understand anything at the age of twenty-five. I look like an idiot..."
She was originally feeling down and sad, but thinking of Beibei's little face seemed to have cured all her unhappiness, "Mom and Dad, you have a very cute and smart grandson, and you also have a... maybe a man who loves me very much, I don't know.
Do you recognize him? His name is Li Jin... he is my son's biological father..."
This afternoon she spoke a lot to the air, her eyes always fixed on the cemetery in the north, Beishan.
In the evening, the street lights couldn't wait to turn on. As the night fell, the colorful neon lights were about to illuminate the gray sky.
When it was time for dinner, the family rules came up, and her grandfather also had to deal with it. For some reason, her appetite had not been good recently, and she also had low blood sugar.
When I went downstairs, I looked towards the dining table and saw a figure in black and a Milkman who stood out among a group of people.
Beibei sat neatly next to Li Jin, looking so cute and well-behaved that Xi Mingyue wanted to fly over and kiss him wildly.
Resist the urge, go to the far edge and sit down.
Li Jin lowered his eyes slightly and cast his deep gaze on her. Xi Mingyue was afraid of being noticed by others, so she met his gaze and nodded her head neither humble nor overbearing.
Beibei's acting on the side is even more natural. She is chewing her food slowly and her movements are dignified, like a European aristocratic prince from the last century.
Ji Yunchu smiled brightly, looking at Li Jin across from him with shyness in his eyes, thinking he was looking at her.
"Mingyue, come here, eat this. I remember you liked fish the most since you were a child." I wanted to seek peace but was interrupted. Ji Yunchu's hypocritical appearance was disgusting.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
The two of them sat next to each other, and when the fish was put into her bowl, a fishy smell made her frown subconsciously.
She couldn't refute her in front of grandpa, so she had to bite the bullet and put it in her mouth.
She loves to eat fish, and the chef at Xi Zhai has never been changed. The fish she just put into her mouth seemed to be freshly disemboweled raw fish fished out of the pond. She was obviously repulsed by her physiology, so she swallowed it with all her strength, and returned it seamlessly.
I drank several sips of water.
Looking around quickly, grandpa didn't pay much attention to her, although his face was slightly gloomy.
The next second, my stomach was churning, and a strong feeling of vomiting came to the top of my throat!
"vomit-" Unable to bear it, he vomited all the water he drank.
Suddenly, there was silence, and all eyes were on her. Ji Yunchu and Xi Wanqing looked at each other, somewhat innocently: "Mom, I gave her a piece of fish. I remember that Mingyue could eat fish when she was a child..."
Xi Wanqing's eyes lit up as a person who had been here before, and he asked hesitantly: "Mingyue, do you...want to eat something sour or spicy?"
Xi Mingyue is not a person who is inexperienced in world affairs. After hearing this, her heart immediately skipped a beat. She calculated that her period has not come yet...
It shouldn’t be, the last time was yesterday, it’s been so long since the last time...
But there is still a chance? There was panic in his eyes, and he clenched his fingernails so hard that they were about to dig into his flesh, and his face looked haggard.
She quickly put away the strange feeling and pretended to cough a few times, holding her stomach and wondering why, "Sister-in-law, I was punished with domestic punishment a few days ago. I haven't eaten well. I also had low blood sugar before. I want to eat something to nourish my stomach.
, I’m afraid this fish will lose weight today.”
Xi Yuerou laughed softly and said, "Third sister, you don't think Mingyue is pregnant, do you? She and Li Jingrong have only been married for a day, so the effect won't be that quick, right?"
Hearing this, Li Jin, who was sitting across from him, stiffened instantly, his expression suddenly sank, his hands tightened slightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his jawline tightened, his eyes grabbed her, the complexity in his eyes was unparalleled.
Understand.
"Eat first, don't say anything after eating." Xi Zhenzhong gave her a dark look.
She didn't dare to touch meat anymore, and because she had a bad appetite, she couldn't eat any vegetarian dishes or soup.
Grandpa wants to settle accounts tonight. Thinking this way, he loses his appetite even more.
