Qi Yingzhou pulled the tablet but it didn't move. He raised his eyes, his eyes as cold as ice.
Li Huai stiffened for a moment and said, "This is Master Jiuke's thing..."
Qi Yingzhou sneered and kicked Li Huai in the leg, "Are you loyal? It's a pity that Huo Jiuke doesn't want you anymore."
He grabbed Li Huai's collar and said coldly: "You'd better understand the form clearly."
He drove Li Huai away with just one sentence.
Li Huai: "..."
He gritted his teeth and handed over the tablet.
Qi Yingzhou clicked on the tablet, and the lock screen page popped up. He asked: "What is the password?"
Li Huai: "This is Master Huo Jiuke's tablet. How do I know what the password is?"
"You don't know? Then what were you looking at here just now?" Qi Yingzhou sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. There are many people who can decipher this code. As for you..."
"Be more careful in the future."
Qi Yingzhou's eyes were bent, his muscles were twitching, but there was no smile at all. It was a cold, naked threat.
…
Qi Yingzhou opened the tablet. The gallery was full of photos of Lingchan, from a childlike child to a graceful girl.
There were also some unsightly figures of Huo Jiuke. Qi Yingzhou clicked his tongue in disgust and deleted them all.
He clicked on the video and saw little Lingchan standing on the stage with a bulging cheek. Qi Yingzhou poked it with his hand. The video being played was paused. Little Lingchan stopped moving. Her brows were slightly furrowed and rounded. Liu Liu stared at the camera with her eyes, as if looking at Qi Yingzhou with disapproval.
So cute.
Qi Yingzhou was very happy. He clicked to play, clicked to pause, and then opened the settings to watch frame by frame.
Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute.
He was so fascinated that he didn't realize he had forgotten anything until there was a knock on the door.
Qi Yingzhou came back to his senses, frowned, and said impatiently: "I told you not to disturb me!"
The female voice outside the door suppressed her anger, "Qi Yingzhou! You said you like Jiang Lingchan, what's the point of leaving her alone in the classroom?!"
Qi Yingzhou recalled what he had forgotten.
He forgot about class! He told Lingchan that he would start class after a twenty-minute break.
Qi Yingzhou clicked his tongue, reluctantly stuffed the tablet under his pillow, and opened the door for Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo called him by name and surname, already holding back her anger, "What on earth are you thinking?!"
What are you thinking?
Thinking about the photos and videos of Ling Chan from childhood to adulthood...Looking at these things, he seemed to be able to participate in Ling Chan's growth, grow up with her, and live together...
He was taken by Ling Chan and lived again.
Qi Yingzhou calmed down the expression on his face and said seriously: "I'm sorry, it's my fault this time. I really like Lingchan and want to be with her forever."
"Help me, mother."
This is the first time Qi Yingzhou calls his mother.
Mrs. Huo's eyes were hot, and all her anger was gone. "Mom, help you. Mom will give you whatever you want."
…
the next day.
Mrs. Huo took Qi Yingzhou to the Jiang family as a guest.
Apologize solemnly.
Because of Huo Jiuke's behavior and Qi Yingzhou's behavior.
After the apology, there was an agreement and engagement ceremony, of course for Qi Yingzhou and Lingchan.
Mrs. Huo and Qi Yingzhou took it for granted that Lingchan was willing.
But in fact, Mrs. Jiang knew that her daughter would not compromise so easily.
Therefore, during the chat, she postponed the ceremony as much as possible.
The Huo family was in trouble, and Qi Yingzhou was more respectful to his mother-in-law than he was to his biological mother.
He did everything and was filled with joy.
…
Mrs. Jiang sent the Huo family mother and son away, turned around and went to the room. Ling Chan lay on the bed and said coquettishly: "Mom, I don't want to see Qi Yingzhou! This person is so annoying!"
Mrs. Jiang smiled softly and said, "He has left. Yingzhou is a good boy. He has sent you a lot of apology gifts. Take a look, do you like any of them?"
Mrs. Jiang took out a velvet box and opened it, revealing beautiful sapphires shining brightly.
Lingchan stared at it for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why did you give me the ring? Mom, you would never praise a man other than Jiuke in front of me before."
"..." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "But Huo Jiuke went abroad and he broke your heart. You want to break off the engagement with him. Your mother supports you, but you have been delicate since you were a child. Your mother wants to find someone new to accompany you. Just take care of you."
"But I don't like Qi Yingzhou."
"Yingzhou is a good boy," Mrs. Jiang smiled: "Mom will try her best to postpone it until the day you like, okay?"
Lingchan lowered her eyes and became silent.
Mrs. Jiang touched her head and said warmly: "It doesn't matter. Just think about it first. Mom won't force you."
…
The next day, Lingchan left home.
Mrs. Jiang just thought she was out to relax and didn't take it to heart.
But until late at night, Lingchan still didn't come back.
Mrs. Jiang was very anxious, but she had just finalized the engagement with the Huo family. She couldn't find someone in a big way and let the Huo family hear it. What would Mrs. Huo think? What would Qi Yingzhou think? How will her daughter live the rest of her life?
She desperately called Lingchan, but only the busy signal sounded over and over again.
Mrs. Jiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in circles. At this time, the servant at home came over with a mobile phone in her hand and whispered: "Madam, it's the young lady who called..."
"Chanchan?" Mrs. Jiang's voice was urgent, "Where are you now? Why don't you go home? Mom is worried that you haven't eaten anything..."
On the other side of the phone, Lingchan's voice was soft and muffled, "I can't figure it out. Do I have to marry someone? Can't I take care of myself?"
Mrs. Jiang's head exploded, and she said words that she would not have said when she was emotionally stable: "Look at your results! Look at how you usually dodge! Do you think making money is easy? "
"Chanchan, mom is doing this for your own good! This is the best path for you!"
She was shaking with anger: "What dissatisfaction do you have that you can't talk about? Why do you have to choose this method! Do you know how worried I am about you!"
Lingchan listened quietly to her venting and breaking down, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mom, I just need to think about it carefully. I decided to travel abroad for a while. Don't worry about me, I will be home soon."
She hung up the phone and exhaled.
The dilapidated stairwell was covered with tattered small advertisements, and the aged electric lights were flickering slowly. Lingchan was sitting on the rough cement wearing expensive clothes that could buy an apartment here.
Out of place. Like an angel who suddenly fell into the mire.
When Zhao Xuchang came back, he saw such a scene.
He rushed forward in shock, squatted in front of Lingchan, and asked her quite nervously, "What's wrong with you? Is there something unhappy?"
