Chapter 209: Don't cheat
"I read the email, your customer service department is about to compete internally?" Qi Jingchen took the bag for Bai Xiaojiu, and when he saw that she looked tired, he changed the subject, "Have you asked for leave?"
"Well, please. Bai Xiaojiu almost blurted out that in view of the exhaustion of a day with his mother, she directly took two days of annual leave.
It stands to reason that she shouldn't waste her annual leave so much, as the front line of the customer service department, she only has a few days of annual leave a year, and she will spend it now, and it will be very troublesome to ask for leave in the future.
But after spending a day with Wu Fenjing yesterday, Bai Xiaojiu felt that her brain cells had died a lot, and she couldn't tell Qi Jingchen yet.
When they went home last night, they were both tired, so they just chatted a few innocuous words, talked about Qi Jingchen's past, and skipped too many topics about Wu Fenjing.
Bai Xiaojiu knew what he meant, and he was afraid that mentioning too much would make her feel even worse.
And she also knew very well that there was a misunderstanding between their mother and son, and if she still had to express her dissatisfaction, it would be easier for them to deepen the misunderstanding.
"The internal competition is a bit complicated. Bai Xiaojiu diverted the topic, and originally wanted to talk about it in detail, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't want to talk about these unhappy things, so he grabbed his arm and walked towards the station together, "You really don't have to accompany your mother during the day?"
"No, she'll go for whatever she wants, and she's always running around, packing things faster than we do, and doesn't need any help from us. Accompany her to have a hot pot in the evening, and the day after tomorrow she will take a plane by herself. ”
"Wouldn't it be a little rude for us not to send her?"
Qi Jingchen carried her bag on his back, patted her head, and shook his head with a smile, "It's okay." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and muttered, "She is not polite to us." ”
Bai Xiaojiu pinched his arm, "How can anyone say that about your mother." ”
"I just don't like her attitude. Qi Jingchen replied casually, looked left and right, and the passers-by didn't pay attention to them, and kissed her on the cheek, "Don't mention her." ”
"Hmm. It's time to get paid. Do you want to go out to eat tonight?" Bai Xiaojiu pushed him away and looked around embarrassedly.
"How did you think of going out to eat?" Qi Jingchen paused for a moment when he said this, thinking of the quarrel between Qiu Zhuping and Bai Junguo last night, and secretly glanced at Bai Xiaojiu.
Bai Xiaojiu obviously thought of this, in fact, the reason for Qiu Zhuping and Bai Junguo's quarrel probably had something to do with them, but not much.
Yesterday I went to accompany Wu Fenjing, but I didn't go home for a day, Bai Xiaojiu told Qiu Zhuping that they didn't go home for dinner, and Qiu Zhuping stayed in the mahjong hall directly for a day.
Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen accompanied Wu Fenjing to finish eating, they arrived home at almost eleven o'clock, and Qiu Zhuping went home later than them.
Bai Junguo arrived home after about nine o'clock in the evening, and lost his temper when he couldn't find food at home.
Anyway, when Bai Xiaojiu arrived home, Bai Junguo was watching TV with a straight face, and it didn't seem to be anything, and as soon as Qiu Zhuping arrived home, the two of them quarreled.
The noise is not terrible, but the people watching it are really embarrassed, which is also the reason why Qi Jingchen and Bai Xiaojiu didn't dare to mention their parents, a mother didn't like Bai Xiaojiu, and a parent was still arguing in the living room.
"Forget it, let's go back and eat. Didn't say a word to my mom. Bai Xiaojiu was afraid that Qiu Zhuping would be even more angry at that time, so it was better to go back and have a meal, anyway, he would have a vacation tomorrow, and he would have the spirit to deal with Qiu Zhuping.
"Hmm. Then go back and eat. Qi Jingchen waited for her to get into the car, grabbed the handrail and guarded her, stroked the long hair on her shoulders, and whispered: "If you don't want to go tomorrow, we won't go." ”
"No, I don't. It's rude not to send your mom off. Since she said that she wanted us to accompany us to eat hot pot, she would definitely go. ”
Qi Jingchen hummed lightly and put his chin on her shoulder, "It's okay, if you don't like it, you can do whatever you want." ”
Bai Xiaojiu turned his face slightly, touched his lips, smiled and shook his head slightly, "I'm not as fragile as you think, there are some things I can bear." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaojiu turned around, faced him, and threw herself into his arms with the swaying of the body, stabilizing her body, "And I can also understand her feelings, one day she will like me." "The word bar came to my mouth, but I didn't spit it out.
Qi Jingchen patted the top of her hair with some distress, and suddenly laughed out loud, "To be honest, she doesn't even like me very much, she likes you enough." But my baby is so cute, I'm going to like you. ”
Bai Xiaojiu liked his soft-spoken persuasion, and nodded slightly in his arms, which was considered to be in agreement.
When the two of them arrived home, Bai Junguo also went home, chatting softly with Qiu Zhuping in the living room, when he heard the sound of the two people opening the door, and said at the same time, "Are you back? ”
"Hmm. Today he doesn't need to work overtime. Bai Xiaojiu responded, and after changing his slippers, he sniffed the food vigorously, "We have something to do tomorrow, so we have a leave of absence." Don't eat at home. ”
"Why do you want to go out again? How can you ask for leave if you are good?" Qiu Zhuping's questions came out one after another.
Before Bai Xiaojiu could answer, Bai Junguo coughed lightly, "The children's own business, what do you care about so much." ”
"My daughter can't ask yet?" Qiu Zhuping glared at Bai Junguo, but there was no dissatisfaction, as if she was a little coquettish.
Bai Junguo smiled and waved his hand, "The children are older." Let them be. ”
"No matter what, I don't care! Hurry up and eat!" Qiu Zhuping pretended to be impatient and waved her hand again and again, glanced at Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen, and was still muttering: "The food is warm in the pot." Hurry up and eat. Remember to pull the plug and turn off the heat. ”
"Got it. Bai Xiaojiu pushed Qi Jingchen to the other side of the room, went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and just turned on the faucet.
Qiu Zhuping came over and asked with a concerned face, "What have you two been busy with lately?"
"What can you do? Bai Xiaojiu washed his hands clean, wiped his hands, and replied with a natural expression.
"Did the minister quarrel with his family?"
Qiu Zhuping's words made Bai Xiaojiu slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at her, "What kind of quarrel?"
"I woke up in the middle of the night last night and heard him answering the phone in the dining room. The tone was not very good, and I thought you were arguing. When Qiu Zhuping said this, a little embarrassed Chaobai Xiaojiu smiled, "I didn't mean to listen to it." I just heard him say mom, you care too much or something. ”
Bai Xiaojiu was a little tired yesterday, and she always had a good sleep quality, so it was difficult to be woken up, if Qi Jingchen hid in the dining room to answer the phone, she really wouldn't wake her up.
"I don't know, I don't think so. ”
"No, why do I think his tone is particularly bad?" Qiu Zhuping muttered in disbelief.
Bai Xiaojiu smiled at her and spread out her hand, "Every family has a different way of getting along." Isn't my sister sometimes very fierce to you?"
Qiu Zhuping only rolled her eyes when she said this, and glared at her several times, "Your sister is not murderous to me, she is just impatient!"
"Maybe ......" Bai Xiaojiu smiled evilly, and before he finished speaking, Qi Jingchen squeezed in, "Haven't finished washing yet?"
Qiu Zhuping saw Qi Jingchen coming in, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Hurry up and wash up and eat, don't be hungry." I'm out with your dad. ”
"Uh-huh, go ahead. Bai Xiaojiu wiped the door frame and went out, glancing at Qi Jingchen, "I'll go change into pajamas, you quickly wash your hands and scoop out the food." ”
When the two of them were sitting at the dining table, Qiu Zhuping and Bai Junguo had already gone out for a walk, Bai Xiaojiu endured it, thinking of Qiu Zhuping's words, he still asked: "Did you talk to your mother on the phone last night?"
"Last night?" Qi Jingchen showed a surprised expression and just shook his head.
Bai Xiaojiu glanced at him, "It's not last night, it's early this morning, you went to the dining room to answer the phone?"
Qi Jingchen reacted quickly, maybe Qiu Zhuping heard it, otherwise they were squirming in the bathroom for a long time.
He lowered his head and took a deep breath, and then looked up and smiled at her with the apology in his eyes, "Well, I answered a call in the early morning." My mom sometimes doesn't sleep well in different places. ”
"Hmm. Bai Xiaojiu responded calmly, picked up the dishes for him, and waited for the following.
After waiting for a while, I only saw him eating slowly, and he had no intention of continuing to explain, so he put down his chopsticks and looked at him, "Do you remember what we said before?"
Qi Jingchen was slightly stunned, and recalled very seriously, "We have said a lot. ”
"About making up for each other's deception. Do you remember?"
Qi Jingchen lowered his head and coughed lightly, slowly put down his chopsticks, and smiled wryly at her, "I didn't mean to lie to you. I just didn't expect my mom to lie to me. ”
"What's wrong?"
She said that Jia Jia went on a trip, but she didn't leave. Stayed next door to her guesthouse. Last night my mom tried to let me go to the hotel. ”
Bai Xiaojiu was stunned, looking at him speechless for a long time, "What, what do you mean?"
"I said before that my mom always wants to control everything about me. She always felt that Jia Jia was more suitable for me, and she wished that we would have more opportunities to get along. She kept talking on the phone in the early hours of the morning, and I didn't want to wake you up, so I went to the dining room to answer the phone. ”
"So that Jia Jia hasn't left Rongchuan yet, and your mother still wants to match you?" Bai Xiaojiu had a fire running back and forth in his heart, thinking that it was his own mother, and he was also innocent, he suppressed his temper again.
As soon as Qi Jingchen saw her expression, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly got up, hugged her with the back of the chair, and spoke in a slightly pleading tone, "I know she has a bad impression on you." But she can't stop us, I will never leave you, you believe me. ”
Bai Xiaojiu soothed his breathing, trying to persuade himself not to vent all his anger towards his mother, "I believe you." ”
Qi Jingchen was still a little scared in his heart, he felt that Wu Fenjing's practices were a bit excessive, not to mention Bai Xiaojiu.
Ask yourself, if Qiu Zhuping had done these things, it is estimated that he would have exploded a long time ago.
Now he is especially afraid that Bai Xiaojiu will not be able to bear it, and seriously thinks about separating the two of them.
Listening to Bai Xiaojiu's weak answer, Qi Jingchen let go of her, walked to her side, squatted down, and looked at her with burning eyes, "Baby, I won't let her destroy us." Won't listen to her either. I won't see Jia Jia alone. You trust me. ”
Bai Xiaojiu turned his head to look at him, not knowing whether he should cry or laugh, he liked his straightforward expression, but also worried about his mother, took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, reached out and touched his cheek, and finally squeezed out a smile, "I really believe in you." ”
Qi Jingchen looked at her eyes seriously, changed his smile, reached out to cover the back of her hand, and rubbed her palm with his cheek, "I didn't dare to say it before, I was really afraid that you would get angry and leave me." As long as you believe me. I will never lie to you again. ”
"Get up and eat. Bai Xiaojiu smiled and kissed him on the forehead, and patted his head again, "You go to eat hot pot tomorrow, and don't quarrel with her." Anyway, it's gone the day after tomorrow. I'm not going to be angry. ”
