After listening to Xu Qingpei, Jing Jiaren remembered something and looked at her quietly.

"The current family thinking is not restricted, and opening a KTV is not a matter worth putting on for the family daughter." Jing Jiaren said.

Xu Qingpei snorted coldly: "What if this industry is known to no one and is specially used to do dirty things for her?" ”

Jing Jiaren continued to ask: "Since no one knows, how can you know." ”

"She and I have been enemies since childhood, will you not pay attention to the affairs of your enemies?" Xu Qingpei gritted her teeth and said, "You can never imagine what kind of torture she inflicted on me, if I don't take the initiative, I will be the one who will be hit hard." ”

"Let's talk about it first, I don't have any good feelings for you, approaching Huo Tingxiao is the only chance I can turn over, but now this opportunity has been snatched away by you, and I can only rely on myself. I can stand with you now only because you and I have a common enemy! Xu Qingpei said.

Jing Jiaren didn't seem to understand: "How do you think she is my enemy?" So far, she doesn't seem to have done anything bad to me. ”

Xu Qingpei looked at her in surprise: "You don't really think this is a daughter, right?" Can't you hear that all the scenes and words she says are digging a hole for you? I can tell you, she and Huo Tingxiao are childhood sweethearts, they won't watch you be with him so easily, and your wife likes her so much, there will be no less digging holes for you in the future. ”

Jing Jiaren curled her lips and smiled: "Then what do you think should be done, simply, rely on you to save you?" ”

Xu Qingpei watched her and immediately retreated a few steps: "I won't form an alliance with you!" ”

Jing Jiaren walked forward with a smile: "I didn't say I wanted to form an alliance, have you forgotten, the two of us are also enemies." ”

Xu Qingpei: "......"

Yes, this girl hasn't forgotten what you did to me before!

The two shot it off and broke up.

Xu Qingpei left angrily, while Jing Jia and Xiao Song walked slowly.

"Madame, are you thinking about the past?" Xiao Song asked.

Jing Jiaren knew that he was asking about the last time she was taken away and Huo Tingxiao went to save her with Chinese medicine.

After last time, Huo Tingxiao said that he would investigate, but so far there has been no result. And the KTV that Xu Qingpei just said just now is just in line with this matter.

She remembered that the place where she had been taken captive was one such place.

Jing Jiaren asked Xiao Song thoughtfully: "You say, Huo Tingxiao, will he lie to me?" ”

Xiao Song hurriedly waved his hand: "No!" How could the president lie to you if he was so good to you? Even if it's a scam, there must be a reason! ”

Xiao Song was very sure of what he said, and Jing Jiaren also listened to it.

"Yes." Jing Jiaren said, "Let's go home." ”

As soon as Jing Jiaren finished saying this, the mobile phone rang, and it was Huo Tingxiao calling.

"Still outside?" Huo Tingxiao's voice didn't fluctuate, and the sound of him tapping the keyboard sounded in his ears, pulling Jing Jiaren's somewhat floating emotions back.

She said "um" and replied, "I'll be back soon." ”

"Now, it's too late." Huo Tingxiao said in a flat voice.

"What's too late?"

"Something happened in the foreign market, I'm going on a business trip now, and I'm already on my way." Huo Tingxiao said, and the keyboard sound in the microphone was also very urgent.

Jing Jiaren didn't know if it was an illusion, and she heard a little chagrin in her flat voice.

Is it because I didn't have time to meet her to say goodbye?

The corners of her lips curled, but she didn't smile in her voice, and pretended to be quiet: "Oh, then you go." ”

The sound of the keyboard in the earpiece suddenly stopped, and Huo Tingxiao seemed to pause for two seconds before saying, "You won't be able to see me for at least six days, so you will say this to me?" ”

Jing Jiaren laughed out loud at this time, following his meaning: "I will call, I will miss you, okay!" ”

"Okay." Huo Tingxiao said, "Xiao Song is also going over this time, and I have arranged additional manpower for you in the past few days." ”

The mood is much better.

Jing Jiaren responded, hung up the phone and asked Xiao Song to set off quickly.

It was already evening when she returned to the old mansion alone, Huo Tingxiao was not there, and she didn't want to clash head-on with Mrs. Lin or anyone. So I deliberately chose a late time to enter the door, but I didn't expect to bump into it.

Xu Qingyi seems to have grown up in the Huo family since she returned to China, but whenever Jing Jia eats at home, you can see that she is also at the dining table, but she also comes to Jing Jia and Huo Tingxiao's courtyard every time.

It's the same today.

After Jing Jiaren entered the door, Lin Zhiqing was already eating, and next to him sat the gentle and generous Xu Qingyi. She saluted Mrs. Lin and went upstairs, but was stopped.

"You're in the limelight today." Lin Zhiqing said sharply, "Tsing Yi returned to China for the first time to hold a concert, and you messed it up like this, as a sister-in-law, do you still have this family in your eyes?" ”

"I just did what I had to do." Jing Jiaren didn't expect Lin Zhiqing to suddenly be in trouble, so she had to stand in place and answer.

"Then you're bullying your sister?" Lin Zhiqing looked at Jing Jiaren very seriously.

She was already dissatisfied with Jing Jiaren's showmanship at Xu Qingyi's concert, but Huo Tingxiao's public confrontation made her lose face, and the anger of the day was now sprinkled on Jing Jiaren.

Jing Jiaren also has her own insistence: "What you said is not quite right, if you really do what Miss Xu said, wouldn't it make me go up and lose face?" I don't know if Miss Xu made an unintentional mistake at that time, but if I lose face, then the Huo family will also lose face, as a Huo family, I will not allow such a thing to happen. ”

This is reasonable and well-founded, but it makes Lin Zhiqing speechless for a while.

Mrs. Lin only paused for a moment, and her tone became tough again: "Even so, you are disrespectful!" The jewelry in Tsing Yi was taken by me, even if it was given to you by Tingxiao, it was still the Huo family's thing! Besides, Tsing Yi is your sister, and you don't even want to lend your sister a jewel, which is called losing the face of the Huo family! ”

Xu Qingyi received her words with a frightened face: "Aunt Qing, you are too serious, and it is right for my sister-in-law to be unwilling......"

Although he was relieving Jing Meiren, Lin Zhiqing's face was even more ugly.

Jing Jiaren listened to Mrs. Lin's anger and speech, and she knew that it would be no good to entangle this matter any longer, and said decisively: "Mother, I didn't blame you for moving the jewelry, you may have misunderstood, I also respect Miss Xu's career, but this doesn't mean that I have to ignore my own face for this, if it's nothing, I'll go upstairs first." ”

"Stop!" Lin Zhiqing stood up directly from the seat, "As the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, how many times have you disrespected your elders, and you still want to get out of the way?" ”

"Clean this hall, don't sleep until you finish cleaning! Butler, let all the servants rest, and don't help her! Lin Zhiqing was completely angry, and sent Jing Jiaren in front of everyone.

And she can't just collide with Lin Zhiqing, Huo Tingxiao has just gone abroad, and it is not wise to offend people now.

Jing Jiaren had no choice but to clean up under the supervision of the maid, and by the time she was done, it was already midnight.

Jing Jiaren hadn't eaten yet, and she was tired for a few hours at this time, and her chest was already hungry against her back, but she didn't have much strength to cook again.

In the face of tiredness and hunger, she chose to sleep first.

Jing Jiaren helped the stairs upstairs, and as soon as she lay down in the dark, the bedroom door was pushed open.

At this time, even the housekeeper and the maid went back to rest, and Lin Zhiqing also took Xu Qingyi back to her yard to rest early, who else would enter her room.

It can't be a thief, right?

Jing Jiaren thought and turned on the light.

"Grandmother?" Jing Jiaren exclaimed in surprise.

The old lady didn't know when she came to her yard, and stood at the head of her bed with an aggrieved expression.

"Beauty, where's today's pastry?" The old lady asked her.

Jing Jiaren then remembered that she forgot to bring pastries to the old lady today, before she would pack a bag of pastries for the old lady when she came back every day, even if the old lady was angry with her during this time, even if the pastries were sent, they were sent back intact, and she never interrupted. But today, Jing Jiaren really forgot.

But the old lady actually ran from her yard to her yard for this, and she didn't even bring a maid by her side, and Jing Jiaren suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

"I'm sorry grandmother, I forgot today, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow!" Jing Jiaren said, her eyes swelling.

The old lady seemed a little lost, but soon, she laughed again, and stretched out her hand behind her back, which turned out to be carrying a bunch of wrapped snacks.

"It's okay, grandmother knows you're busy today." The old lady sat down on the edge of her bed, "Do you know that she has sent you?" I'm tired of cleaning for so long! Grab something to cushion your stomach. ”

As she spoke, she opened the snack and handed it to Jing Jiaren.

Jing Jiaren was stunned for a moment, her nose was sour, and her throat seemed to be strangled by something.

She asked in a voice that was not very smooth, "Grandmother, aren't you angry with me?" Why is it still ......?"

"Silly girl!" The old lady looked at her with disgust, "How can you be angry with your children and grandchildren for so long, grandmother has already figured it out, and she just wants to help you." ”

"Tingxiao, his mother has always been dissatisfied with you, if grandmother treats you well again, won't it push you to the muzzle?" The old lady urged Jing Jiaren to eat and said, "Now that the girl from the Xu family is back, Tingxiao's mother will definitely look at you again, and grandmother has to protect you!" ”

Jing Jiaren's mouth was full of snacks, and her heart was also full of the old lady's words.

She didn't expect that the old lady would come here to plan for her like this, the loss in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she felt that it was nothing to be punished by Lin Zhiqing for no reason.

"Thank you, Grandmother! I didn't bring you snacks today, but you came over to bring me food. The lack in Jing Jia's heart was filled, and she was moved.

The old lady looked at her as kindly as before: "What are you thankful for, our ancestors and grandchildren are still talking about this?" ”

Jing Jiaren smiled and nodded violently.

After she finished her snack, she chatted with the old lady for a while and sent her back. In the middle of the night, the old man can't stay up any longer.

Jing Jiaren fell asleep after sending her back, until the next day, when she woke up, she was standing in front of Xiao Song in a suit and leather shoes.

Jing Jiaren looked at him with some surprise: "Why did you come back suddenly, Huo Tingxiao had an accident?" ”

Xiao Song bent his arm on the clothes that had been prepared, and replied respectfully: "The president is fine, it was the president who asked me to come back to pick you up and go abroad." ”
