Ji Chen didn't have any expression, he just listened carefully.
Xie Qingran lost a very important friend.
She was so crazy that she almost killed someone. She kept calling for ghosts day and night, but she still hasn't been found.
She knows what it's like to lose someone important.
Ji Chen lost his mother and his father didn't love him. I don't know how he managed to survive as a child.
Now that she has been doing well, she felt that it was a bit too much to have someone forcefully open her wounds.
Xie's mother didn't go too far. She just said a few words and implicitly expressed the idea that Ji Chen and Xie Qingran were probably not suitable for each other.
Maybe it was too obscure and Xie Qingran didn't understand.
Ji Chen's face turned pale instantly.
Xie's father tugged on his wife's clothes and told her not to speak too harshly.
However, the expression on everyone's face is similar.
They agreed with Xie's mother.
I'm just worried that Xie Qingran won't be willing.
They didn't want to point fingers at Xie Qingran's life and the people he liked, but Ji Chen's family made them uneasy.
In fact, Xie's mother should not have said it at this time. Xie Qingran was here. She also expressed her support for Ji Chen. Xie Qingran had just returned home and breaking them up like this was not good for cultivating the relationship with Xie Qingran.
.
But she had some mental problems because of the loss of her daughter. A gentle and good person in the past would sometimes even go crazy because of her daughter.
She wants to protect her daughter.
Everyone in the world has the mentality of seeking good things and avoiding bad things, which is normal.
She wants her daughter to be safe and sound in the future and marry into a happy family like her. Her parents-in-law like her, her husband dotes on her, and her children are united. This is normal.
She could tell that Ji Chen liked Xie Qingran very much. The way he looked at only one person with his whole heart was so similar to the way Xie's father looked at her... However, it was inevitable that she would still feel nervous.
Afraid that one day, he will be like his father...
Xie Qingran couldn't tell, but when she held Ji Chen's hand, she could feel that Ji Chen seemed a little stiff at that moment.
He was nervous, even scared.
Xie Qingran finally spoke.
"Mom, don't ask Ji Chen."
Mother Xie looked at her.
Ji Chen also looked over.
His face was a little pale and he looked a little fragile.
If Xie Qingran's parents really don't agree with them being together anyway, what should he do?
Is there only one fake couple identity?
Not even regularized yet!
Xie Qingran's expression was serious, "This is Ji Chen's matter. You shouldn't ask about his family like this."
"Ran Ran……"
The room became quiet, but Ji Chen felt something was wrong.
Under such circumstances, Xie Qingran was on his side, which made him very happy.
But reason told him that he could not stand behind Xie Qingran all the time. Otherwise, even if this inquiry could go through peacefully, he might not leave much favor with the Xie family.
He likes Xie Qingran and wants to be with her forever. This is a long-term thing and he cannot covet immediate satisfaction.
He held Xie Qingran's hand tightly and said in a serious and firm voice, "I have left the Ye family and will never go back again."
Ji Chen's voice drew everyone's attention to him.
"I will use everything I have to make Qingran's future life carefree. I will never become a person like him."
Ji Chen is not very good at talking. He can be nice and coquettish in front of Xie Qingran, but in front of her family, he knows that these are useless.
He wanted them to believe that although he had that man's genes, he would be good to Xie Qingran for the rest of his life and he would never become like his so-called father.
Of course, it's not just Ji Chen's two sentences that can make people believe him, but Xie Qingran is also here, and she is already a little dissatisfied. The Xie family doesn't want her to be unhappy.
This matter was revealed in a hurry. After everyone finished eating, Xie Qingran saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she declined Xie's mother's invitation to stay with her, and left with Ji Chen.
Xie Qingran was very silent in the car.
Ji Chen's voice was soft, as if he was coaxing, "Why are you unhappy?"
Xie Qingran turned her head to look at him but said nothing.
Ji Chen drove the car and kept asking questions.
Xie Qingran's voice was very soft, "Ji Chen, I'm sorry."
Ji Chen was shocked. He stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at Xie Qingran, "Qingran, what's wrong?"
Xie Qingran lowered her eyes, "I just wanted to invite you for a meal, but I didn't expect... I'm sorry."
She said sorry again.
Very sad and guilty.
Ji Chen's eyes trembled.
Xie Qingran has always been very proud. She almost never does anything wrong. No matter what problems she encounters, she can quickly make what she thinks is the right choice.
It was what she thought was the right choice.
She has an unstable temperament, which sometimes makes people feel distressed, but many times, she makes people feel charming. She always shines and attracts the likes of countless people.
But it doesn't always go wrong.
At least, she never said sorry to Ji Chen.
This is the first time.
Ji Chen provoked her before and was beaten by her. In the end, he lost his temper and blamed Ji Chen for making her angry!
According to her words, how could she say sorry so casually? She only beat Ji Chen when she was provoked, and there was no need to say sorry to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen didn't expect to hear Xie Qingran say sorry to him under such circumstances.
He chuckled, "What's wrong? Why do you have to say sorry to me?"
He touched Xie Qingran's face gently, and her face felt a little cold.
"They shouldn't have asked you that."
Xie Qingran lowered her eyes without looking at Ji Chen, "You must be sad."
It must be very painful when the scar is torn open.
Just like her, every time she thinks about it, she will feel sad.
So she thought, Ji Chen must be like this too.
He was just pretending to be strong.
"I'm not sad." Ji Chen answered her gently, "Qingran, I'm very happy that you defended me just now."
Xie Qingran said nothing.
She thought, Ji Chen is lying!
Ji Chen moved gently but forcefully across her body, and Xie Qingran didn't want to look at him.
Ji Chen raised her chin and saw that her eyes were a little red.
He was startled.
"Qingran."
Xie Qingran glared at him fiercely, "Don't look at me!"
When she saw Ji Chen's appearance, she knew she was about to cry!
She didn't feel sorry for Ji Chen, she just remembered it!
She didn't want Ji Chen to see herself looking so weak!
Xie Qingran will not cry!
Ji Chen didn't think about anything anymore and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Xie Qingran calmed down and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone."
Ji Chen nodded quickly, "Okay."
Xie Qingran rubbed her eyes again, "Anyway, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my family."
Ji Chen shook his head, "No, Qingran, you never need to say these three words to me."
