Chapter 127: The Truth Strikes
Chu Qiao realized that his face was wrong, and subconsciously followed his gaze, but saw that Wen Yi'an was wearing the belt she bought for him in Toronto, and Yi Qingchen also had one.
This belt is a limited edition and is not often seen on the market, so it's no wonder that Yi Qingchen is suspicious.
Chu Qiao had a headache, and what was originally nothing seemed to have become more and more complicated by her.
It's really a stupid pregnancy for three years.
"Let's go, husband." Chu Qiao's face stood up as usual, "Assistant Wen, let's go back to the company first, and I'll trouble you later." ”
Yi Qingchen withdrew his eyes and held Chu Qiao's hand.
"You're welcome." Wen Yi'an saluted slightly, watched the two leave, and then closed the door of the study.
Along the way, Yi Qingchen didn't mention the belt, and Chu Qiao naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it.
"What happened to Shaojin and Shaoqing lately? It seems that there has been a cold war, wasn't the relationship between their brother and sister the best? ”
"I don't know very well, but you can go to Shaojin to talk to you later, and I'll go to understand the situation with Shaoqing, the contradiction between the two has made Shaojin often stay home at night recently." At the mention of Yi Shaojin and Yi Shaoqing, Yi Qingchen had a headache.
"yes, okay."
The old mansion of the Yi family is no longer as lively as it used to be, the original mahjong group has now dispersed, Yi Shaojin usually lives in the manor, Song Meijiao stays on the second floor all day long, or his bedroom or Yi Chenxue's room does not come down, Cao Yin and Yi Anle are only two left, living by chatting every day.
At this time, when he saw Chu Qiao enter the door, he was overjoyed.
"Xiao Qiao, come on, come on, play mahjong with us landlord, this day long at home is boring and almost idle birds." Cao Yin couldn't wait to wave at Chu Qiao.
How long has it snowed, how long has she and Yi Anle been bored at home, it is really boring, a few days ago Yi Anning also sent them photos of wandering around the world, which really made them envious, lamenting that she married a good husband who hurts people, and would rather throw the burden to her son early than personally accompany his wife to travel around the mountains and rivers, and then look at her husband, the two couldn't help but shake their heads.
The emotional intelligence of foreigners and people in country Z is really not on the same level.
Chu Qiao remembered Yi Shaoxuan's entrustment, and happened to have the intention of probing Cao Yin's style, so he hurriedly said: "You two wait a while, I'll go up and call Shaojin down, let's just have a table of mahjong." ”
"It's okay, let's go." After Yi Anle finished speaking, he probably felt that something was wrong, and added, "You still have to walk slowly." ”
"Got it, auntie."
Chu Qiao went upstairs, and Yi Shaojin was lying on the bed and playing games on the tablet in every possible way.
"What's going on with you two? It's been a cold war for a few days, but you can tell me, Shaoqing has such a good temper, why did he provoke you like this? ”
Yi Shaojin raised his eyes, looking deaf.
"Want me to play cards?"
"That's it." Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows, "There is another matter that I would like to ask you to help with." ”
"Can I help? Are you going to cheat or come out? ”
Chu Qiao patted her lightly, "It's not in shape, hurry up, it's Shaoxuan and Meiluo's business, Meiluo is pregnant, Shaoxuan has the idea of getting married, but I'm worried that the family will not have a good time." ”
"It's a bit of a hassle."
"How?" Chu Qiao was puzzled.
Cao Yin has always been a very good person to get along with, and now that Meiluo is pregnant, what can be the trouble?
"Uncle and aunt are such a son as Shaoxuan, but whoever is a mother always wants to keep the best for her son, although Meiluo is very capable, but marrying into a family like ours, what is needed is never ability, but the right person."
"But I ......" Chu Qiao has always lived in the atmosphere of love and affection of the Yi family, and has long forgotten the crooked intestines inside those wealthy families, and now after Shaojin mentioned it, it was like waking up from a dream.
Even if Cao Yin has a good temperament, in the end, she is the eldest lady of the Cao family and the second grandmother of the Yi family, and she will still follow some things that should be followed, not because of her reality but because of the indoctrination of her deep-rooted thoughts since childhood.
"Your situation is different, you were personally chosen by Qingchen, Qingchen's sanity and self-discipline have always been famous, the family of the person he chose is naturally relieved, plus what happened to Wen Ying before, we were worried that it would affect Qingchen's sexual orientation, he can lead you home, we can't ask for it, not to mention that according to Qingchen's temper, who dares to go against him? But Shaoxuan is different, he himself is a child who has not grown up, and he loves to play before, although he entered the army a few days ago and has converged a lot, but everyone's opinion of him will not change so quickly at all, only when he is playing outside, and Mei Luo's parents are just ordinary university professors, although the second aunt is not a powerful person, but after all, she is also from a famous family, so she will inevitably be more picky. ”
Chu Qiao nodded in understanding.
It's true that some things are fine to watch, but when it really involves you, that's another matter.
Take the matter of her and Yi Qingchen as an example, in fact, if it weren't for Yi Anning and open-mindedness, I'm afraid there would still be grinding.
"Can you start with my grandfather?"
"It's hard to say, although grandpa is the eldest parent, but in the final analysis, Shaoxuan is the son of his aunt, even if he wants to interfere, he will not be very happy, let alone force his aunt."
"That's a little troublesome, Shaoxuan also plans to bring someone to the house tomorrow, don't sit on a cold bench at that time, then you won't vomit to death." Chu Qiao immediately became worried, Mei Luo was arrogant and extremely sensitive, if she noticed something, Shao Xuan would have a headache again.
"You don't have to worry about this, they are also measured people, and they won't embarrass people to their faces, but ......"
"But what?"
"Alas......" Yi Shaojin sighed, "Anyway, you still have to think a little more." ”
"Okay......" Chu Qiao took her hand, "No matter what, go downstairs first, they are waiting to play mahjong, it is estimated that the second aunt and aunt are also bored." ”
Yi Shaojin also sighed again and again when he thought of Song Meijiao.
She really couldn't figure it out, even if Yi Chenxue was born to her mother, she had been raised by someone else's side since she was a child, where did she get such a deep friendship, but she was an adopted daughter who grew up under her knees since she was a child, but she was left out when she was left out.
Could it be that blood is really such a great thing?
The two went downstairs hand in hand, and happened to meet Yi Qingchen walking upstairs with his mobile phone, he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile between his eyebrows, and he was completely different from when he left Brittany Manor.
"I'll go to the study to find grandpa, and I'll come down to accompany you later."
"Well, I'm playing mahjong with my aunt in the side hall."
Chu Qiao had just turned down the stairs when the mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang.
[I have deleted one of the card details you used to purchase the belt from within the bank. ] WeChat message from Wen Yi'an.
Chu Qiao suddenly realized, no wonder Yi Qingchen was in such a good mood to go upstairs just now, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
In fact, there is nothing between her and Wen Yi'an, but because she avoids certain things too much, this makes the two fall into such an embarrassing situation, so good that an innocent little boy in the family is almost on the back of the black pot of cheating with her.
It's just that in this matter, she was also quite helpless, she was about to make a mistake at that time, and wanted to use Yi Qingchen's hand to retaliate against Jiang Hanwu and then retreat to Wen Yi'an, which made Wen Yi'an go to Canada to settle down early.
Now, although the desire to retaliate against Jiang Hanwu has not been broken, he has long been reluctant to use him, and now he is naturally afraid that Yi Qingchen will be disappointed and sad after knowing the truth, so he can only hide it tightly with Wen Yi'an, after all, once the relationship between Wen Yi'an and her is discovered by Yi Qingchen, then he can deduce her original thoughts with a little investigation and speculation.
originally planned to let Wen Yi'an slowly return to her life from work, but who knew that something would go wrong again.
[Okay, I see]
Although a belt is nothing, the chain reaction caused by it can be a real headache.
Fortunately, Wen Yi'an was alert and handled everything in advance.
After the message was sent, the phone went completely silent.
Wen Yi'an is very vigilant and understanding, and never embarrass her.
The four of them played mahjong at the same table for a while, and before Chu Qiao could mention Meiluo, they saw Song Wan carrying a bag into the door.
"Wanwan? Long time no see. Chu Qiao said enthusiastically.
"Hmm." Song Wan smiled gently, "I've been preparing for the design room recently, so I'm busy, and I don't have time to see you." ”
"Are you going to open a design studio? Congratulations, my Song University designer. ”
"Well, remember to come and cheer when the time comes."
"Nature."
"By the way, Shaojin, where's your mother?"
At the mention of Song Meijiao, Yi Shaojin's face suddenly flashed with a touch of unnaturalness.
"Rest upstairs."
"Okay, I'll go up to my aunt first, and I'll come down to accompany you later."
"Okay, let's go." Everyone laughed and waved.
"It's a coincidence, Wanwan hasn't been here for a few days, and now you're here, and she's here too." Cao Yin said casually.
Chu Qiao pondered carefully, and it was really like this.
"It was the second young master who just ordered me to call Miss Song." Steward He on the side mentioned it casually.
"Yi Qingchen?" Chu Qiao couldn't help frowning.
is so dignified, how could Yi Qingchen invite Song Wan to the old mansion?
Is there something to discuss?
Not long after Song Wan went upstairs, she pestered Song Meijiao to go downstairs together, and her face seemed to be not very good, and the two of them had just walked to the gate, but they were stunned by the indifferent male voice coming from the staircase.
"Stop!"
Song Meijiao stiffened at the moment, but it was Song Wan, who turned around calmly, "Something light?" ”
"I specially invited you, do you think it will be okay?"
Song Wan pretended not to understand, "Didn't my aunt call me here?" ”
"Oh?" Yi Qingchen sneered, "That's what she told you?" ”
Song Meijiao's face turned pale, and before she could speak, Old Man Yi had already walked down the stairs slowly on crutches, glanced at her in disappointment, and walked indifferently towards the restaurant.
The people in the side hall heard the movement and hurriedly pushed the mahjong to the living room.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Chu Qiao saw this posture in the living room, the situation was not good, and it must be Yi Qingchen who was going to attack Song Meijiao.
Hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered, "Didn't you promise me that you would be considerate of your aunt?" ”
"Considerate?" Yi Qingchen sneered: "The premise of understanding is that she didn't do something stupid that is hopeless!" ”
Yi Qingchen's words made Chu Qiao's heart tremble suddenly, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Song Meijiao.
The latter unnaturally turned his face away.
Chu Qiao reacted immediately, stunned in place, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Auntie, let's go home first." Song Wan reminded on the side.
Song Meijiao came back to her senses at this time, but a row of black-clothed bodyguards suddenly poured into the door.
"What do you mean!" Although I am afraid, Song Meijiao still has a temper in the end.
After all, she is also the daughter of the Song family, the eldest wife of the Yi family, how could she have been treated like this.
Yi Qingchen glanced at her coldly, as if he was a little disappointed, and did not continue to speak, and turned into the restaurant.
"Auntie, let's go have some lunch together first, just talk about something, it's not easy for you to be this time lately, Qingchen will understand."
Song Meijiao glanced at her indifferently, ignored her, and followed her into the restaurant with Song Wan's support.
The atmosphere at the table was extremely depressing, and everyone at the table was silently immersed in their own food, for fear that one would accidentally cause a volcanic eruption.
It wasn't until Old Man Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks that Yi Qingchen said to Steward He on the side: "Has Uncle notified you?" ”
Steward He hunched his waist slightly, "It's already on the way back." ”
"Hmm."
As soon as she heard Yi Qingchen ask someone to call Yi Nanzheng back, Song Meijiao's face turned white on the spot.
Uneasily glanced at Song Wan beside her, who gave her a reassuring look.
"Mom, you're really confused." This is probably the first time that Yi Shaoqing has spoken to Song Meijiao like this since he grew up so much.
Song Meijiao's face suddenly became very ugly, and she got up silently and walked towards the living room.
"What the hell is going on?" Yinan Zheng entered the door in a hurry, but saw a family sitting on the sofa with different faces.
Butler He called him and hurriedly urged him to go home, he thought something big had happened, but he saw that the family was sitting on the sofa safe and sound.
"What are you doing? Calling me back and not talking? What's wrong? Seeing that no one cared about him, Yi Nanzheng asked again.
The old man Yi hammered the ground hard with his crutches, hating that iron could not become steel and said, "What's wrong?" Ask your good daughter-in-law what's going on! I'm still at a loss for words! ”
Yinan Zhenghu looked at Song Meijiao suspiciously, "What the hell are you doing?" ”
Yi Qingchen sat aside with a cold face, casually playing with the ring on Chu Qiao's hand, playing up and down a little naughtily.
"Is my aunt going to carry it all the time? If you really don't want to say it, why don't you let your good niece talk about it for you! He suddenly made a sound, startling Song Meijiao.
Yi Nanzheng vaguely guessed the direction, after all, the family has been coming and going recently, but he still can't believe it, although his wife has been stimulated a lot recently because of the morning snow, but she is not going to do such a foolish thing.
Song Wan glanced at Song Meijiao meaningfully, and suddenly said an astonishing sentence, "The ghost of Chenxue that night was actually pretended by me. ”
At this point, since Yi Qingchen tore his face, it means that he already has a lot of evidence in his hands, and she will definitely not even have a chance to turn the tables, so she simply admits it straightforwardly, and then makes another plan.
"What!"
Cao Yin and Yi Anle both exclaimed in surprise.
I thought that Song Meijiao was doing this alone, why was Song Wan involved?
You must know that Song Wan's temperament has always been notoriously good, how could she do such a boring thing.
"No, it's not like that!" Seeing that Song Wan took the initiative to jump out and admit it, Song Meijiao was also anxious.
Song Wan was originally trying to help her, if she was left alone to take on the responsibility at this time, then she would still be very sorry in her heart.
Especially Song Wan is still a big girl who has not come out of the cabinet, and her reputation has always been excellent, if she has a bad reputation because of this, how should she face her brother and sister-in-law.
"It's me, I forced Wanwan to do it, this kid is filial, and he has no choice but to help me."
"So you asked Wanwan to pretend to be the ghost that night?" Yi Nanzheng's face blackened on the spot.
Song Meijiao nodded.
"So you're the one who put those photos in Dad's study?"
Seeing that the latter continued to nod, Yinan Zheng was so angry that he almost didn't take his back on it.
In the end, he married a confused daughter-in-law, Chenxue's matter is obviously not Chu Qiao's business, but he has to go to Chu Qiao's trouble, and he also uses such indiscriminate means, which is simply unusual!
"Forget it, it's all over, let's not mention it."
Seeing that Yi Nanzheng was about to go crazy, Chu Qiao hurriedly stopped him.
In the past, Song Meijiao's kindness to her was not false, but now although she has done so many inauthentic things, Chu Qiao still misses the old love and can't see her suffering.
"You stupid girl, others are trying to frame you with malicious intentions, but you are so kind and lenient as if something." Old Man Yi couldn't help but admire, but when he looked at Song Meijiao, he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted.
A good person, how can you say that you have become like this? What a disappointment!
"Grandpa, my aunt just thought about it for a while, and she didn't do any substantial harm to me, so this matter is over."
Old Man Yi had no choice but to turn his face away, "You still ask your family Qingchen about this matter, he has more right to speak, and he found someone to find out about the matter." ”
"Light Chen ......"
"You'd better listen to how they both hurt you first, and then make a decision!"
Chu Qiao was speechless.
Make a decision again? What else could she decide?
In front of Yi Shaoqing and Yi Shaojin, in front of everyone in the Yi family, she couldn't say: Yi Qingchen, you killed me!
So what kind of ruthless woman will she become in their eyes?
After getting married, forming a family, and entering a new family, many things cannot be considered as simple as before.
What's more, she didn't want to hurt Yi Shaojin and Yi Shaoqing's hearts because of this, both of them were kind and upright people.
