Chapter 35 What a humiliation
She looked at Tang Qinglian's eyes and said, "Mom, my tea making skills are not good, please be more tolerant." ”
Tang Qinglian raised the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, she wanted to take the opportunity to make tea to make things difficult for Zhong Jiaqi, but she didn't expect her tea-making skills to be good, even if she didn't want to, she still praised it: "It's not bad." ”
After drinking the tea, Tang Qinglian said again: "Jiaqi, I like the ambergris you gave me yesterday, I really didn't expect you to like such spices at such a young age." ”
Zhong Jiaqi knew that Tang Qinglian probably guessed that last night's gift was prepared by Qi Jingchen, so she said these words in front of Grandpa Qi and Grandma Qi, once she couldn't come up with a reason, her image in the hearts of the second elder of the Qi family was estimated to be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, she knew a little about ambergris, and smiled confidently: "Actually, you like spices and Jing Chen told me, ambergris is actually the secretion of sperm whales, the ambergris just spit out is black and soft, and the smell is unpleasant, but after being washed by sunlight, air and seawater, it will become very mellow, although few people will use ambergris now, but I think this spice is like a mother, after going through ups and downs, it has more temperament, and I also hope to become a person like a mother in the future." ”
Zhong Jiaqi's forehead words were generous and decent, and her tone was full of appreciation for Tang Qinglian, even if Tang Qinglian's daughter-in-law was Chu Jinyan, she couldn't pick out the thorn for a while, so she could only smile and say: "It's not easy for you to say such a thing at your young age." ”
The smiles on the faces of the two old men of the Qi family were even worse, and the more they looked at this granddaughter-in-law, the more they liked it.
"Jiaqi, do you know how to play chess?" Grandpa Qi said happily, "Accompany me, an old man, to the next few rounds." ”
During Zhong Jiaqi's three years in Georgia, the only entertainment activity was to sit in the courtyard of the hospital with those peacekeepers and play chess, which he did not expect to come in handy today.
She followed Grandpa Qi to the study, and always carefully let Grandpa Qi at critical moments, and occasionally won one or two games, coaxing Grandpa Qi to blossom.
It was almost time for lunch, Qi Jingchen finally came back, he appeared in the study, stood beside Grandpa Qi and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you bullying her by playing chess with Jiaqi?" ”
Grandpa Qi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Jiaqi, she is very good at chess, and I lost this one accidentally." ”
Qi Jingchen hadn't seen Grandpa Qi so happy for a long time, his heart was a little warm, he held Grandpa Qi's shoulder and said, "Even if you are happy, it's time for lunch, after lunch, you still have to take medicine!" ”
When Grandpa Qi heard that he was going to take medicine, he said a little unhappily: "I have to take medicine again, I have to make a medicine jar every day." ”
"Grandpa, when you stabilize your blood pressure and blood lipids, you don't need to take medicine every day, and you can only play chess with me if you have adjusted your body!" Zhong Jiaqi comforted.
"Okay, I'll listen to my granddaughter-in-law."
Zhong Jiaqi obediently helped Grandpa Qi to go downstairs.
Qi Jingchen stood behind and looked at the backs of Zhong Jiaqi and Grandpa Qi, and his heart was a little touched, he didn't expect that he, a grandfather who has always been iron-blooded, would like Zhong Jiaqi so much, he followed Grandpa Qi's steps and walked downstairs.
Qi Jingchen frowned when he saw the people sitting at the dinner table and Chu Jinyan.
Zhong Jiaqi didn't have a strange expression on his face, but just helped Grandpa Qi sit down at the dinner table.
Chu Jinyan looked at Grandpa Qi and called obediently: "Grandpa Qi." ”
"Jinyan is here!"
Tang Qinglian said with a smile: "Jinyan, this kid knows that you are not in good health, so he specially sent two boxes of ginseng, saying that it is for you to condition your body. ”
"Mom, grandpa's high blood pressure is a little serious, although ginseng is a tonic medicine, it has the effect of greatly tonifying vitality, invigorating the spleen and lungs, but ginseng has a strong effect on qi, and it is not suitable for people with high blood pressure, I know that Miss Chu is out of good intentions, but this ginseng, grandpa really can't eat it."
Zhong Jiaqi did not target Chu Jinyan with these words, but just put forward some suggestions from the perspective of a doctor.
Grandpa Qi's medicinal dietitian also spoke: "Mr. Qi's body is indeed not suitable for eating ginseng. ”
Chu Jinyan's expression suddenly became ugly, and she said in a panic: "Grandpa Qi, I really didn't mean to, I just hope that your body can get better as soon as possible." ”
Grandpa Qi smiled faintly and said, "I know you didn't mean it, so don't take it to heart." ”
Zhong Jiaqi smiled coldly in his heart, Chu Jinyan threw himself on Qi Jingchen's body, and gave Grandpa Qi ginseng just to please Qi Jingchen, so he didn't put too much effort into it, so he hit the muzzle of the gun, which was really humiliating.
Tang Qinglian, who has always liked Chu Jinyan, also has a somewhat unsightly face, with conditions like the Qi family, they don't care about these gifts at all, they only care about their hearts, although Chu Jinyan's approach is not wrong and has a good rotation, but just not caring enough can already make people dissatisfied.
Zhong Jiaqi sandwiched some vegetables and put them in Grandpa Qi's bowl, who knew that Chu Jinyan mentioned Zhong Jiaqi at this time.
She looked at Zhong Jiaqi with some grievances and said, "Miss Zhong, I was wrong about what happened last night, I am here to apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive me for the sake of my young age!" ”
Among all the people present, only Chu Jinyan and Zhong Jiaqi were clear about what happened last night, Tang Qinglian looked at Chu Jinyan with some confusion and asked, "What happened last night?" ”
Chu Jinyan looked at Tang Qinglian guiltily and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, last night I knew that it was Miss Zhong who saved Grandpa Qi before, so I wanted to go over and thank her, but Miss Zhong may not have heard me talk to her, my friend thought that Miss Zhong didn't bother to talk to me, so she said some unpleasant things, I came here today to see Grandpa Qi, and secondly, I wanted to apologize to Miss Zhong." ”
After listening to what Chu Jinyan said, Tang Qinglian smiled and said, "This is just a trivial matter, you came here to apologize!" ”
Zhong Jiaqi really didn't expect Chu Jinyan's lie to dare to say it a second time in front of Qi Jingchen, but now Chu Jinyan's attitude is humble, and she pointed out that she is here to apologize, if she argues with Chu Jinyan, she is the one who is wrong no matter what, and Tang Qinglian has already said so, if she doesn't forgive Chu Jinyan, it seems that she won't even give Tang Qinglian face.
Unexpectedly, after Chu Jinyan calmed down, she was much smarter than last night, but Zhong Jiaqi now understands the reason why Tang Qinglian doesn't like her, it seems that Chu Jin is her favorite daughter-in-law.
However, she Zhong Jiaqi is not a soft persimmon, but before she could speak, Qi Jingchen took the first step and said: "Chu Jinyan, Jiaqi's saving grandpa is what her granddaughter-in-law should do, you have nothing to do with our Qi family, you shouldn't be up to you to thank you!" ”
Qi Jingchen's words, close to each other, Chu Jinyan An outsider went to thank the Qi family, even if Zhong Jiaqi ignored it, there was nothing worth talking about, what was wrong was really Chu Jinyan and the friends she said.
Chu Jinyan's face turned a lot paler, she looked at Qi Jingchen in disbelief, although Qi Jingchen has always been cold to her, but they have known each other since they were very young, and Qi Jingchen has never accused her in such an indifferent tone.
Her hands couldn't help but start to tremble, and she subconsciously glanced at Tang Qinglian, Tang Qinglian saw that Chu Jinyan's eyes were already swirling with tears, and she couldn't bear to say: "Xiaochen, even if Jinyan did something wrong in this matter, you shouldn't talk to her in such a stern tone." ”
"Mom, Jiaqi is my wife, I don't want to see her wronged, you are my mother, and I also hope that you can treat Jiaqi like a daughter."
Zhong Jiaqi didn't expect Qi Jingchen to protect her so much, a warm current slipped through her heart, Qi Jingchen and Yao Jun are really too bad, even if Qi Jingchen has no love for her, but when she is wronged, he will protect her and give her enough respect.
She glanced at Qi Jingchen deeply, and Qi Jingchen reached out and patted the back of her hand, wanting to give her some comfort.
Tang Qinglian didn't expect her son, who had always been cold, to say such a thing, her heart was a little uncomfortable, she really hoped that Chu Jinyan could marry Qi Jingchen, but now that Qi Jingchen was married, she was also thinking about whether what she was doing now was wrong.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull for a while, and Grandpa Qi coughed: "Okay, okay, what are you going to do at dinner time, eat well." ”
Grandpa Qi took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and everyone didn't dare to continue to mention this matter, and the meal was a little embarrassing.
After eating, Chu Jinyan didn't care about saying anything, so she left in a hurry, just walked out of the door of the Qi family, there were two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes, she would be so embarrassed in the Qi family today, all because of Zhong Jiaqi, she clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was full of hatred for Zhong Jiaqi.
After Zhong Jiaqi took care of Grandpa Qi and finished taking the medicine, Grandpa Qi suddenly asked: "You two just got the marriage certificate and didn't hold a wedding, our Qi family can't be so wronged by you, wait for a good day, I will definitely give you two a good wedding." ”
Zhong Jiaqi didn't expect Grandpa Qi to suddenly mention this matter, she didn't have the heart to hold a wedding now, she had fantasized about the picture when she walked into the auditorium with Yao Jun in her previous life, but Yao Jun shattered her fantasy with his own hands.
Although she knew that Qi Jingchen and Yao Jun were completely different, after all, the two of them had no feelings, and she didn't dare to imagine what their wedding would be like.
But she didn't refuse Grandpa Qi's words, so she had to say: "Grandpa, when your body is fully recovered, we will hold a wedding again, so that you can still be our witnesses, okay?" ”
"Jiaqi, I know my body, I don't know if there will be a time to recover, I just want to see the two of you get married." Grandpa Qi looked at Zhong Jiaqi with pity.
"Grandpa, your health will definitely be fine," Zhong Jiaqi said comfortingly, "And Jingchen and I have already received marriage certificates, and it is the same for me whether to hold a wedding or not." ”
Grandpa Qi sighed: "Okay, the wedding can not be held first, but we have to find a time to meet your parents, don't let your parents think that our Qi family is rude." ”
Zhong Jiaqi thought about it, it seems that she has to hurry up and tell Zhong's father and mother about her relationship with Qi Jingchen; "Okay, I'll go home and talk to my parents."
After talking about the meeting between the two parents, Zhong Jiaqi and Grandpa Qi talked for a while, Grandpa Qi was a little tired, Zhong Jiaqi and Grandma Qi helped Grandpa Qi back to the room to rest.
