Chapter 473: Suspicion Resolved
The next day, Ji Chengcheng slept until noon and woke up.
Staring at the familiar ceiling, looking at the familiar style of the bedroom. Last night's events suddenly came to mind, and her thoughts froze, and then, she quickly looked to her side.
"What are you looking for?"
Coming out of the bathroom and seeing Ji Chengcheng's panicked eyes, Zu Yihang asked in a gentle tone.
He had just taken a shower, and the bathrobe was wrapped around his body casually, loose, as if it was going to fall off at any time, Ji Chengcheng looked away in a panic.
"I ...... How am I in your room? ”
Feeling embarrassed and a little embarrassed, Ji Chengcheng had to pretend to be drunk and forget.
She had done this kind of thing before, but Zu Yihang didn't suspect it.
However, this time, as soon as her words fell, the man came to her side with a gloomy face.
"Have you forgotten last night?"
Frowning slightly, staring at Ji Chengcheng's eyes tightly, Zu Yihang wanted to judge from her expression whether she was lying.
Locked by his eyes, Ji Chengcheng panicked and wanted to dodge.
The crimson that appeared at the root of her ears betrayed her, and in an instant Zu Yihang understood that she was lying because she was shy.
An imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his fingers to hook her chin.
He forced her to face him in a pandering posture, and after making sure that she couldn't break free from his grasp, Zu Yihang slowly asked her, "Did you really forget what happened last night?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Weakly responded, Ji Chengcheng still didn't dare to look at Zu Yihang's eyes.
She had already said that she had forgotten that the sentence had not been three minutes in time.
Ji Chengcheng couldn't slap herself in the face so quickly, so she could only choose to deny it.
After hearing her answer, the man suddenly bit her lip hard, and a smell of blood spread between her lips and teeth, and Ji Chengcheng cried out in pain.
"Brother-in-law, it hurts!"
Aggrieved protest, Ji Chengcheng's tears were about to fall out.
In her memory, her brother-in-law has always been a humble young master with a gentle personality. Even though his face would be gloomy when he was angry, he never really got angry with her. Except, of course, for the time when she confessed her heart to him.
"Pain? Pain here? Or does it hurt here? ”
The hand slipped into the woman's lower abdomen at some point, and Zu Yihang pinched her small waist hard through the sheets.
The events of last night suddenly came into his mind clearly, and Ji Chengcheng's face turned the color of Hongcheng pig's liver.
Her body instantly stiffened, as if she had been frozen by something.
Ji Chengcheng held his breath and didn't even dare to shout in pain.
Looking at her stupidly frightened appearance, Zu Yihang couldn't help but smile and leaned into her ear and lowered his voice to threaten: "How is it, do you remember?" If you still can't remember, I wouldn't mind repeating it to you at the pace I did last night. ”
"No, no. I remember. ”
was completely pinched by Zu Yihang, and Ji Chengcheng didn't dare to resist at all.
Seeing this, Zu Yihang nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly he recalled what she had just called him, and he reminded him very kindly this time: "Remember to change the name, next time you call the wrong one, I don't mind using the method just now to remind you." ”
After being reminded by Zu Yihang, Ji Chengcheng remembered that she had just habitually called his brother-in-law.
She has been calling this title for so many years, and it is normal that she can't change it for a while.
But Zu Yihang still demanded her so harshly, Ji Chengcheng lowered his eyes slightly aggrieved: "I know." ”
"Good."
Seeing her obedient appearance, Zu Yihang's mood suddenly became comfortable.
He gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, feeling his doting on him, Ji Chengcheng's mood that was low a second ago suddenly warmed up, and it was full of flowers in an instant.
"Let's get up and wash up first, I'll go downstairs and ask the nanny to make you breakfast."
After saying that, he got up and got dressed, and Zu Yihang went downstairs.
Happiness came so quickly and unreally, Ji Chengcheng patted his face hard.
The pain was very real, and she realized it was all real. Suddenly, thinking of the heroes who contributed to all this, Ji Chengcheng smiled on his face.
"Qi Xiuyuan really deserves to be Qi Xiuyuan, there seems to be nothing in this world that he can't do."
Having made up his mind to thank Qi Xiuyuan, Ji Chengcheng quickly ran downstairs after washing up.
After breakfast, she told Zu Yihang that she had something important to go out today.
Zu Yihang asked her with concern if it was a matter of work, Ji Chengcheng didn't know how to answer, and just when she was about to lie, Qi Xiuyuan personally sent Zu Jiajing back.
"Qi Xiuyuan, why are you here?"
Seeing Qi Xiuyuan appear, Ji Chengcheng panicked inexplicably.
Last night's events were all thanks to his help, and she was able to get the man she had loved for many years. It's just that when he thought that his methods were a bit despicable, Ji Chengcheng didn't dare to look up at Zu Yihang.
"I came to find Zu Yihang for something."
Compared with Ji Chengcheng, Qi Xiuyuan's expression was much calmer.
Ji Chengcheng's acting skills only explode when she is acting, and usually in real life, her eyes can't hide her joy and anger at all.
Seeing that something seemed wrong with her, Zu Yihang glanced at her inquiringly.
"Chengcheng, you take care of Jiajing."
did not directly ask Ji Chengcheng what he was hiding from him, Zu Yihang led Qi Xiuyuan upstairs.
The two came to the study and sat down, and Qi Xiuyuan went straight to the point to explain his intentions. Hearing that Qi Xiuyuan's request for his matter was related to Yang Ning, he frowned slightly.
"Do you want to investigate this matter, or does Yang Ning want to investigate?"
The affairs of the Yang family have nothing to do with Qi Xiuyuan, and Zu Yihang certainly wouldn't think that he would be idle enough to do this.
It was about Yang Ning, and Zu Yihang asked more.
Because what Qi Xiuyuan said was a murder case involving officialdom, Zu Yihang had also heard people talk about it. It's just that Yang Ning's father died too strangely, and it was a complete accident from the scene.
In the end, the matter was dealt with as a safety incident, but Yang Ning's mother insisted that her husband was killed, and she also asked a lot of people to help over the years, but it has not been properly handled.
"I want to help her check."
didn't lie, Qi Xiuyuan replied directly.
Zu Yihang looked at him strangely, and then asked, "Is it a long way to ask you?" ”
Yang Ning and Lu Manman are good friends, if she asks Lu Manman for help, it is not surprising that Lu Manman will ask Qi Xiuyuan again.
"It's not."
"Then why do you suddenly want to help her? Uncle's recent affairs seem to be related to her, is it difficult to ......"
Zu Yihang deserves to be Zu Yihang, and soon he discovered the problem.
Qi Xiuyuan did not evade, and chose to admit: "This is one of the reasons. ”
"Oh, there are other reasons?"
Qi Xiuyuan suddenly came to ask for his help, which already made Zu Yihang feel strange enough.
In the past, he was the only one who asked him for help, and thanks to Qi Xiuyuan's secret support over the years, his ancestral family had gone so smoothly in the officialdom.
In fact, as long as he speaks, Zu Yihang will not say a word. However, Qi Xiuyuan seemed to have something to say, and Zu Yihang waited quietly for Qi Xiuyuan to continue.
"That's right, the other reasons are related to Lu Manman and Ji Chengcheng."
Qi Xiuyuan said this, and Zu Yihang understood what he wanted to express without asking too much.
Because of his son, he did have thoughts about Lu Long that he shouldn't have. Even because he didn't dare to admit his affection for Ji Chengcheng for a while, he decided to go down paranoidly, if he hadn't been forced to be anxious last night, he would have promised Yang Ning to join forces with her.
"I'm very sorry for the long way to go."
has already crossed the hurdle in his heart, and Zu Yihang's mind has now become very calm.
He was glad that he was not wrong, and perhaps he would pay a huge price for his choice, but he would never regret it.
After receiving his apology, Qi Xiuyuan didn't react much.
The fact that the two of them were able to become brothers and good friends is more of an appreciation for each other's abilities. Some things are said and the contradictions are over.
"I'm also sorry for Ji Chengcheng's matter."
After Zu Yihang opened his mouth to apologize to himself, Qi Xiuyuan no longer hid it.
He was the one who saw what kind of feelings he had for Ji Chengcheng earlier than Zu Yihang, so when Zu Yihang was in the fog, he decided to help him.
So he found Ji Chengcheng and specially planned yesterday's events.
The whole incident was under his control, but Ji Chengcheng still almost had an accident.
He should apologize to Zu Yihang for his mistakes, he suddenly said the same thing to Zu Yihang, and Zu Yihang looked at him with surprised eyes.
"Chengcheng's business?"
Recalling Ji Chengcheng's strange appearance when he saw Qi Xiuyuan, and then thinking of what Qi Xiuyuan had just said, Zu Yihang seemed to understand.
Thinking that Ji Chengcheng almost had an accident last night, Zu Yihang couldn't hold back his anger and slapped the table.
Ji Chengcheng, who was eavesdropping on Zu Jiajing outside the door, heard the movement inside, and she hurriedly pushed the door open.
"Yihang, don't blame Brother Xiuyuan, I begged him to help me, don't hurt the harmony between the two of you because of yesterday's incident."
Yesterday, Ji Chengcheng recalled a lot of good past with Zu Yihang because of Qi Xiuyuan's help.
Her past with him made her feel particularly sad, but after last night, everything will develop in a better direction, all of which is due to Qi Xiuyuan, Ji Chengcheng doesn't want him to have a dislike with Zu Yihang because of his own reasons.
"Are you from my ancestral family or from the Qi family?"
Ji Chengcheng rushed into the door and helped Qi Xiuyuan speak, which made Zu Yihang angry.
He was angry with Qi Xiuyuan because she almost had an accident last night, this woman is good, and she is still helping others.
"Of course I'm from my ancestral family!"
Ji Chengcheng will never deny this.
Her voice was loud and she answered with confidence.
Zu Yihang's originally gloomy mood was clear because of her words, and he stopped his anger when he thought of how he rushed over in time to save her.
"Forget it, you also want to facilitate us."
If Qi Xiuyuan didn't intervene, there might be a long detour between him and Ji Chengcheng.
Thinking of this, Zu Yihang was not so angry.
"The things I arranged, even if there is a little accident, but there will never be an accident, isn't she safely taken away by you?"
With a faint smile, Qi Xiuyuan told Zu Yihang.
Hearing this, Zu Yihang suddenly understood that Qi Xiuyuan had been guarding in the dark. Thinking that his feelings had always been in his calculations, he smiled helplessly.
