The awkward atmosphere began to spread in the living room. Finally, Aunt Man spoke first and came to her rescue: "Zhizhi, go see the old lady. She is old, so don't get angry."
Hearing this, she nodded gratefully, nodded towards Liu Enci, and then followed into the bedroom.
Now that they were all gone, Liu Enci twitched the corners of her lips, gave Aunt Man a meaningful look, twitched the corners of her lips, and left with gritted teeth.
When Tang Muzhi entered the bedroom, Mrs. Jing was sitting by the bed.
Seeing that it was her who came in, the expression on her face softened a lot, and she asked in a low voice: "Are you leaving?"
Tang Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Let's go, grandma, don't be angry."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing sighed and said casually: "I'm not angry. I can't fault her. I just don't want to see her."
Although they moved to Haicheng from Tanzhou, they did not want to stay under the same roof with Liu Enci, so the two elders went to live in the suburbs alone.
The air there is good, the environment is good, and no one bothers me.
Liu Enci used to be Jing Xunhua's secretary, and she was indeed beautiful.
Their affair began when Jing Xiao's mother was still alive. Later, Jing Xiao's mother died in a car accident, and Jing Xunhua wanted to marry her, but due to Mr. Jing's opposition, the matter was delayed.
But not long after, she became pregnant with Jinghe, and it was precisely because of this that Mrs. Jing reluctantly agreed to her entry.
From that time on, Jing Xiao rarely went back to the Jing family. Even if he went back occasionally because of his grandparents, he never stayed overnight at the Jing family, and he didn't even want to talk about his identity.
After a while, Mrs. Jing called Jing Xunhua and warned him not to let this woman appear in Jing Xiao's home again, otherwise she would not be able to help ease their father-son relationship in the future.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Tang Mu Zhi aside, her tone softened a little, and reminded: "Zhi Zhi, don't tell A Xiao what happened today, otherwise something will happen again."
"Grandma, I know." Tang Muzhi nodded obediently and agreed.
It is useless to talk about this kind of thing. Instead of making everyone unhappy by talking about it, it is better to pretend not to know.
Mrs. Jing smiled and patted the back of her hand, then said, "By the way Zhizhi, when do you and A Xiao plan to have a baby?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Muzhi's eyes widened instantly.
It had only been a week since she and Jing Xiao had started to live as husband and wife, so why did they start thinking about children?
Moreover, Jing Xiao has already said that she has not graduated yet and there is no rush for this kind of thing.
Seeing that she seemed embarrassed to say it, Mrs. Jing smiled knowingly and joked: "I haven't said anything yet, why am I so shy? But for this kind of thing, just let it take its course."
Tang Muzhi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandma, I won't officially graduate until June this year, so Jing Xiao also feels that there is no rush for this kind of thing."
"As for the wedding, do you plan to do it later?" Mrs. Jing said tentatively, with a hint of sadness in her tone.
After all, according to the customs of her hometown in Tanzhou, she should not be able to hold a wedding within three years.
Tang Muzhi frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He pursed his lips and replied, "Let's wait until later to talk about this kind of thing."
"Then don't worry about the wedding. It's better for you to spend time together first." Mrs. Jing comforted her softly, "Zhizhi, don't think too much about it."
Tang Mu Zhi hummed slightly and then stopped answering.
In the evening, Jing Xiao still knew about Liu Enci's visit.
Even if no one told him, it couldn't stop him from arranging bodyguards near his home.
Jing Xiao didn't sleep well last night, and there were a lot of things going on today, so he looked particularly haggard and tired at the moment.
When he heard that Liu Enci had gone to his house to look for Tang Mu Zhi, his irritability became even more obvious.
In the hotel lobby, he had just walked a few steps when someone stretched out his hand to block his way.
When he saw who the person in front of him was, he frowned and subconsciously wanted to avoid her.
"Jing Xiao..." Qian Manman blinked her big, watery eyes and called him sweetly.
He had no patience at the moment and said displeasedly: "Don't bother me, otherwise I will have to ask your father to come and pick you up in a while."
Hearing the indifference and disgust in his tone, Qian Manman pursed his red lips and said aggrievedly: "I finally returned to China, why didn't you answer my call? You didn't reply to my message."
Jing Xiao glanced at her coldly and asked coldly, "Why should I answer your call?"
Seeing the chill that kept coming out of his body, Qian Manman suddenly made a plop and knelt at his feet.
She held his wrist with both hands, raised her head and looked at him pitifully, and choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, please don't be angry, okay?"
Her movements were quite loud, attracting the attention of many people.
Jing Xiao didn't expect that she would make such a fuss, so he hurriedly shook off her hand and reprimanded with a stern face: "Don't go crazy here."
After being yelled at by him, Qian Manman's eyes immediately filled with tears. She stretched out her hand again and tugged at the corner of his clothes, sobbing and saying, "Why are you doing this to me?"
After saying that, she knelt on the ground and started crying.
Jing Xiao took a step back and distanced himself from her, his eyes full of disgust.
Zhou Chengsi, who entered the hotel later than him, his eyes widened when he saw this.
Hearing whispers around him, he hurried forward and pulled Qian Manman up from the ground, "What are you doing?"
He also said last night that she was normal abroad, so why did she start going crazy again when she came back?
When Qian Manman saw that it was him, she didn't pay much attention and looked straight at Jing Xiao. Even though his eyes were full of anger at the moment, she was not afraid. Instead, she was paranoid that she could affect his emotions, which meant that He has feelings for himself.
"How about taking her away from here first? Otherwise, we don't know what she is going to do in a while." Zhou Chengsi came to Jing Xiao's side and suggested in a low voice.
Jing Xiao glared at him, naturally disapproving of his proposal. After all, he didn't want to have too much contact with this woman.
He suppressed the anger rising in his chest and said coldly: "Didn't you say last night that if I had any trouble, you would help me solve it? Then you should solve it quickly now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Why?" When Qian Manman saw him turning around, he screamed at him like a madman. His eyes were sore and tears couldn't stop falling from his eyes. He asked unwillingly, "Why on earth? Why?" How can you marry someone you’ve never even met and not consider me?”
Jing Xiao paused slightly, turned to look at her sideways again, his cold eyes fell on her face, and said word by word: "Don't appear in front of me, otherwise you will be in trouble next time you are sent abroad." Maybe I won’t come back.”
Qian Manman was stunned and stared at him for a long time without any response.
After a while, she suddenly raised her hands to cover her face, squatted on the ground and started crying.
Jing Xiao ignored her and left directly, while Zhou Chengsi stood aside, speechless for a moment.
He first dismissed the spectators in the hall, and then pulled Qian Manman to sit on the sofa aside.
After she calmed down, she said, "You should leave quickly."
Hearing this, Qian Manman stopped crying, raised her head and looked at him, her eyes dim with tears, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "Please help me."
Her eyes were begging and filled with tears, and she looked particularly endearing.
Zhou Chengsi's expression instantly became solemn, and he said solemnly: "I'm not Jinghe, so I won't help you."
Qian Manman lowered his eyes, sobbed a few times, and said slowly: "I just like him, what did I do wrong?"
"The only thing you're wrong about is that the person you like should not be him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone coming in at the door of the hall. It was someone from the Qian family.
He knew that it must be Jing Xiao who called Qian Lin.
Qian Manman was quickly taken away, and the hotel lobby returned to its original tranquility, as if nothing just happened.
In the hotel room upstairs, Jing Xiao stood in front of the window, overlooking the traffic below, and a cold light flashed across his deep and distant eyes.
A few minutes later, his phone vibrated.
After reading the message from Shi Qian, he calmed down the anger in his eyes, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
After the call was connected, a deep voice came into his ears, "Hello."
"I'm going back to Haicheng tonight. You can stay and deal with the matters behind here." His voice was a bit gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm.
When Zhou Chengsi on the other end of the phone heard this, he immediately guessed the reason. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure you are going back tonight?"
"Of course." He replied lightly, his voice as cold as frost.
"Well, be careful yourself."
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the time, then packed his things and prepared to go to the airport.
Tang Muzhi didn't know that Jing Xiao came back early. After dinner, she was still waiting expectantly to have a video call with him.
However, she waited until ten o'clock in the evening without receiving a video call from him, or even a message from him.
Although she felt a little disappointed, she understood that Jing Xiao was probably busy, so she didn't think much about it.
At midnight, when Jing Xiao arrived home, the house was quiet.
He opened the door gently and entered the bedroom. Looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, he slightly curled his lips. It seemed that all the fatigue and boredom were relieved at this moment.
After standing next to her lips and looking at her for a while, Jing Xiao went to the bathroom to wash up.
Tang Mu Zhi, who was sleeping, vaguely heard a voice coming from him, but he was half asleep and didn't pay much attention to it.
But it wasn't until the mattress next to her collapsed and a familiar smell entered her nose that she opened her eyes in a daze.
Through the dim light of the bedside, she tried to see clearly the person lying next to her.
It’s Jing Xiao!
She was a little stunned. She stared at him blankly for a long time. After making sure that she was not dreaming, she opened her eyes wide and asked in a lazy and hoarse voice: "You...why are you back?"
