Chen Juan answered the call and put it to his ear, and called out listlessly, "Grandpa."
Mr. Ji's voice was like a bell, "Ah Juan, you and Chengcheng come to my place tomorrow, come together."
Chen Juan asked casually, "What's going on?"
"I'll tell you when I get here tomorrow, remember, with Chengcheng." Mr. Ji hung up after saying that.
Chen Juan threw the phone aside and saw that Xia Cheng's phone was not taken away on the sofa.
When she got off work, Xia Cheng didn't come back to get her phone, so Chen Juan had to carry it with her. Because he was depressed, he made an appointment with Lu Beiyu to go out drinking with him.
After Xia Cheng left the company, she drove her car aimlessly on the street until the sun turned to the west. She felt a little hungry, so she stopped.
She randomly entered a restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles. Fortunately, she had some cash in her bag.
After eating, I originally wanted to go to Ye Qing's place, but considering that she was in love, I decided not to disturb her.
Besides, I also wanted to be quiet and didn't want to go back. I even wanted to find a hotel to stay for one night.
As night fell, she looked up at the scene on the roadside. It was very familiar and she couldn't help but slow down the car.
It turns out that this is the community where I bought a house. No wonder I am familiar with it. The house has been simply decorated. I just went in and took a look to see if there were any unreasonable things. Then I found a design company to fix it.
Xia Cheng opened the door. The house was not big, with three bedrooms and one living room. When she bought it, she thought it would be enough for a family of three to live in after her father was released from prison.
The decoration had just been completed and the room was a bit messy. She had thought about hiring someone to clean it up before, but she happened to be in a bad mood today, so she decided to do it herself.
Working is the best way to relax your mind. When your body is tired, your emotions can be released.
She didn't know what time it was. Through the window, she saw the lights on other floors going out one by one. It must be getting late.
The house was finally tidied up. Xia Cheng was a little tired, so she sat on the bed in the bedroom and closed her eyes to rest.
She thought that she must take the time to buy some daily necessities, so that she would not be like now, spending the night here without even a quilt.
I thought about Chen Juan again. If he found out that he hadn't gone back, would he look for him? Let him look for him. It was best to worry him to death.
This man is strong at heart. When his temper gets louder, he doesn't care about other people's feelings or the cause and consequences of the matter. He doesn't even show basic respect. The words he says can really make people mad.
Xia Cheng sighed, why were he thinking about this? Maybe he didn't go home either, so he didn't even know if he had gone back. It was getting late, so just sleep like this.
She guessed right. Chen Juan didn't go home until midnight. He thought Xia Cheng had gone to bed early, so he gently opened the bedroom door and found that there was no one on the bed.
Suddenly he panicked, and he called to wake up Aunt Li.
Aunt Li told him that Chengcheng didn't come back at all, but there was no need to worry. She used to go to her best friend's place to spend the night, and sometimes she didn't come back for several days.
Chen Juan felt a little relieved, thinking that she might talk to her best friend because she was in a bad mood. When she comes back tomorrow, he would apologize to her first and then talk calmly.
I originally wanted to call Ye Qing, but I thought that being so late would disturb their rest. The public security was very good now, and Xia Cheng was an adult, so he should be fine.
Although he thought this way, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he still asked Lu Zeng for Ye Qing's number.
But when she called, she was prompted to turn off her phone. Chen Juan even wondered if Chengcheng had turned it off on purpose, just to make him anxious.
Chen Juan sat on the sofa all night and finally waited until dawn. He called again, but his phone was still turned off.
He went to take a shower first, changed his clothes and came out. Mr. Ji called and urged him to come over.
Chen Juan didn't know what the old man was up to, so he had better go and take a look first.
He drove towards the old man's residence and called Ye Qing's phone on the way. The phone was still turned off. Maybe the two of them had been chatting for a long time last night.
Dozens of minutes later, Chen Juan's car finally stopped in front of Mr. Ji's gate.
He walked into the courtyard without anyone announcing it, and saw the old man and Ji Yunyang playing chess in the pavilion.
"Grandpa, what's the matter with calling me here so urgently?" Chen Juan asked standing aside.
The old man paused, glanced at him indifferently, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is my granddaughter?"
Of course Chen Juan didn't dare to tell the truth, so he kept smiling and said, "She went to a friend's place last night and didn't come over. If you have anything, tell me."
The old man snorted coldly and ignored him. His eyes fell on the chess pieces again, and he chuckled, "Yun Yang, you are about to lose."
"Grandpa, you can't let me go just once. I lose every time I play chess with you. Do it again!" Ji Yunyang also gave Chen Juan an unclear look.
Chen Juanduo was very observant. He felt that the old man's attitude toward him today was particularly unfriendly, and something must have happened.
Could it be that Xia Cheng complained to him? This old man was very defensive and scolded him.
Chen Juan poured himself a glass of water and drank it silently, not daring to make a sound.
It wasn't until the old man finally finished playing that he looked at him calmly and powerfully.
Chen Juan offered him a glass of water attentively, but the old man didn't accept it at all, and just looked at him quietly.
You know, the old man has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has long sharpened his domineering temperament. Once the firepower is fully unleashed, few people dare to look at him.
Of course, Chen Juan was not afraid of him, but just respected him.
"Grandpa, what are you looking at?"
The old man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he slapped the table, "You bastard, what the hell did you do?"
Chen Juan frowned. It seemed that Xia Cheng had really complained to his grandfather. Unexpectedly, she was still a tattletale. The couple had a conflict and resolved it themselves. As for telling the elders?
Seeing that the old man was so angry, Chen Juan lowered his attitude and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have quarreled with Chengcheng yesterday. I was so angry that she didn't come back at night. Don't worry, I will definitely apologize to her when I find her."
The old man's expression was stunned for a moment, and his voice immediately raised an octave, "What are you talking about, you bastard? You made my granddaughter stay up all night so angry? Chen Juan, my granddaughter is easy to bully, but her grandfather is not easy to bully. You See if I can spare you."
It turned out that Chengcheng didn't complain and was really asking for it. Chen Juan forced out a smile and said, "Grandpa, this little conflict between husband and wife is not a big deal. You should let me take care of it."
The old man looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to see through someone.
"I really didn't expect that you would do such a bastard thing and harm Chengcheng like this. This kind of mistake cannot continue. Tomorrow, I will divorce Chengcheng."
Chen Juan could hardly believe his ears and moved his lips, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
