Chapter 97: Slap in the face
Toilet? Chu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and asked the little guy.
"Just take a look." The little guy replied lightly.
"See what?"
"Look at you!"
Chu Jingxing: "......"
So he didn't actually misunderstand, the little guy looked at him very strangely.
"Your parents didn't teach you not to stare at people like that, especially when someone else is unraveling." For such impolite behavior, Chu Jingxing was still dissatisfied.
"You might as well ask my dad about this in person and ask him how he taught me." The little guy still answered consistently.
"Where's your dad?"
The little guy spread his hands: "I'm dead." β
Chu Jingxing felt that this kid was deliberate, deliberately leading him to ask questions, just to answer him like this, and he felt like he was cursing him with his heart.
But the little guy turned his face like flipping a book, and immediately changed his face, making Chu Jingxing feel that the indifferent and hostile appearance just now was like his own illusion, and at this time, it was the innocence and cuteness that a child of this age should have.
"Uncle, I forgot my way back, can you take me back?" Sincere request from the little one.
Especially those familiar eyes, at this time, revealing a pitiful grievance, this appearance reminded him of a person, like this child, always when there is a request for someone, he will show a puppy-like expression like a little scoundrel, so that he has no way to refuse.
For a moment, Chu Jingxing was even a little trance-like, thinking that he had traveled through time and space, returning to the time when he was entangled by the little tail.
After returning to sane reality, Chu Jingxing sighed helplessly, and finally took the little guy's fleshy little hand: "Let's go!" β
When he didn't notice, the little one's thin lips, which were exactly the same as his, rose wickedly, and the smile bloomed after his triumph.
Holding the little guy's hand back to the banquet scene, the little guy saw that someone in the banquet hall was interrogating something, took a deep breath, and then shouted angrily: "Kidnapping!" Help! β
The little guy's desperate shouts attracted everyone's attention, and Chu Jingxing, who was completely defenseless, was obviously surprised by his unexpected move, and looked at him with slightly constricted eyes, as if to examine what tricks he would play next.
The little guy looked up at him, because Chu Jingxing was so tall that he had to take two steps back to see his face clearly.
Different from the pity when he begged him just now, and different from the panic when he begged for help a moment ago, the little guy at this time had a sly smile in his eyes, and said with a sly smile: "Uncle, my mother really has no money, please let me go, don't separate me from my mother, okay?" β
Before following Chu Jingxing to the bathroom, he used his smart watch phone to secretly call the police.
Unlike the expression on his face, the voice of the little family's pleading is really tearful, which makes people feel distressed.
Although he didn't know who this little guy was, Chu Jingxing knew very well now that all the little guy's actions from the beginning were aimed at him.
But he really didn't remember that he had ever offended such a person.
Although he knew Chu Jingxing's identity, he couldn't ignore the call for help from the kidnapping, and the little guy cried heartbroken at this time, which aroused the sense of justice in the police's heart.
So without any hesitation, I walked over to them to understand the situation.
Seeing that Lin Ran had been staring at the little guy who was crying uncontrollably, Song Li asked curiously: "What, do you know that child?" β
"I've seen it once."
Lin Ran remembered the situation when he saw the kid in the restaurant, and always felt that he was deliberately looking for trouble.
When she was about to wait and see what happened, Yang Manni had already walked over, completely in the posture of a hostess.
"Two officers, is there a mistake? We don't really know this kid. β
"But we got the ...... of the police"
Yang Manni behaved generously and decently: "Officer, my boyfriend's identity really has nothing to do with kidnapping, I think this child was frightened and recognized the wrong person." β
Yang Manni's performance made everyone believe that she would definitely be the other half of Chu Jingxing, and the future hostess of the Chu family admired her proper performance.
But Lin Ran only smelled hypocrisy.
Looking at Chu Jingxing's expression, he should be full of impatience with Yang Manni, a woman, if it weren't for her infatuated dedication and companionship over the years, with Chu Jingxing's character, there is no doubt that she would have been kicked away a long time ago.
Seeing Yang Manni, the little guy's expression changed significantly, and his lowered eyelids covered his smart eyes.
He also learned Lin Ran's true identity only after watching the news, so he also knew that he had found the wrong person last time, and went through all the scandals about Chu Jingxing on the Internet, and Yang Manni, an infatuated woman who made silently behind the scenes, appeared in his field of vision.
Why is a man who makes his mother so sad, so carefree?
When the little guy's little hands were clasped together, a calm voice broke the deadlockβ
"My son just experienced a kidnapping, so there are still some psychological shadows, and the defense is also more serious, please don't mind Chu Shao."
Hearing this voice, the little one's heart calmed down.
The noble and tall man walked up to the little one, looked up and rubbed his soft hair, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
The little guy is obviously also extremely dependent on him, holding his legs, and showing a cowardly expression with palpitations in his words: "I'm sorry I was mistaken, this aunt really looks very similar to the person who kidnapped me, seeing this uncle with her, I misunderstood......"
This time, he naturally turned his attention to Yang Manni.
After all, it is a child, especially such a well-carved child, people's tolerance is already quite high, and they are deeply sympathetic to his experience of kidnapping, so they all understand that he recognized the wrong person.
However, Yang Manni's face was extremely ugly, this kid actually called her aunt in public, and said that she looked very similar to the kidnapper, and she was so angry.
Yang Manni snorted coldly: "Disrupted our family's very important birthday banquet, and slandered my boyfriend, we will definitely not forget it because of this gentleman's words......"
She's got to teach this stinky boy a lesson!
Hearing her say this, Chu Jingxing's brows subconsciously twitched.
"And ......"
Yang Manni continued unrelentingly: "Allowing children to run around at other people's banquets, this gentleman is also responsible as a parent, isn't it?" After all, a child's behavior is closely related to the upbringing of parents. β
This is a public accusation that people will not educate their children and are not educated.
Such a trivial matter, the father of the child apologized and explained the reason, and the child also admitted that he recognized the wrong person, why did Yang Manni become entangled like a shrew scolding the street?
Speaking of which, it's her who really shows that she is uneducated!
Many people at the banquet scene thought of Yang Manni's background, her father was a gambler, and her mother had remarried countless times, such a girl from her original family, because she climbed to Chu Jingxing by chance, thought she was superior, it was ridiculous!
This person, who usually looks like a dog, but when it comes to the critical moment, he shows his bottom.
It's not on the table, but it's the same no matter what time it is!
At this time, Yang Manni, who was immersed in a sense of self-superiority, did not notice the contemptuous and mocking eyes of the people around her, but Old Madam Chu saw everything at all, and she was really unspeakably aggrieved in her heart.
Look at what Pei Yunxiao and Wei Jizhe are looking for, although they are not girls from rich and noble families, they are all from families with good knowledge of etiquette, they have a good family environment since they were children, they have received a good education by word and deed, and their character and family education are all superior.
Look at your grandson again, what kind of goods are you looking for?
Her arrogant performance today has made the old lady extremely unhappy, and now she is scheming with a child, which is really embarrassing to throw home!
Old Madam Chu didn't like Yang Manni in the first place, but after this incident, she hated her even more.
Just as she was about to step forward to reprimand, Lin Ran came over and whispered a few words of comfort to her, and then let Song Li push her over.
"I think whether to pursue the so-called responsibility or not, or leave it to Grandma Chu and Brother Jing Xing to decide for themselves, as irrelevant outsiders, don't interfere in other people's affairs."
Lin Ran said it lightly, and there was a harmless smile on her face when she spoke to Yang Manni: "Miss Yang, did you say it?" β
Lin Ran's words clearly cut her off from the Chu family, and also instilled a concept in everyone-
Yang Manni has nothing to do with the Chu family, so no matter what she does, it has nothing to do with the Chu family.
For the question thrown by Lin Ran, Yang Manni couldn't answer it at all, and the smile on her face froze.
Especially with Lin Ran's current identity and her relationship with the Chu family, what she said reflected the attitude of the Chu family from the side, so Yang Manni's position in people's hearts immediately fell from "the quasi-hostess of the Chu family" to "not recognized".
She has finally come to this day, and she can stand side by side with Chu Jingxing, and she must not let anyone ruin all this!
She could only hold on to Chu Jingxing's life-saving straw, with a sad expression: "Jingxing, I just don't want others to disturb grandma's interest, and I don't want anyone to misunderstand you." β
For her clumsy acting skills, Lin Ran really sighed, how did she get the actress.
Lin Ran raised his head and said to Chu Jingxing calmly: "Brother Jingxing, I think it's better for your family to decide your own family affairs, if outsiders participate in opinions or decisions, it will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings." β
Chu Jingxing withdrew his arm from Yang Manni's hand without a trace, and his eyes were doting and approving of Lin Ran: "What Ran Ran said is right, I was negligent." β
This sentence is a complete denial of Lin Manni's identity, so that all the intersecting families and business partners know that he and Yang Manni are just general friends.
It's just that none of them noticed that at the same time as Chu Jingxing said this, a light flashed under the little guy's eyes, and his "father" eyebrows were almost imperceptibly twisted slightly.
The man didn't pay attention to Chu Jingxing, but took out his business card and handed it to Yang Manni: "In Xia Mo Shaochen, if Miss Yang insists on pursuing responsibility, please contact my lawyer." β
Hearing the name Mo Shaochen, the faces of everyone present changed, and no one thought that they would see a mysterious man who never knew his true face on such an occasion.
Mo Shaochen is the president of the famous king group, who mysteriously disappeared a few years ago, and although he still has a pivotal position in country A, all the work over the years has been done by his assistant.
No one knows where Mo Shaochen has gone, and no one knows whether he is still alive after the family feud.
Gradually, Mo Shaochen became a legendary figure.
It's just that I never thought that I would reappear in such a situation without warning.
Looking at the figure of him holding the little guy, it turned out that over the years, the prodigal son who used to be in love had already married and had children, but I didn't know who his wife was, which was really curious.
But as long as you look at the pink-carved son, you know that his wife must be a rare beauty.
At this time, Mrs. Chu was speechless in shock after seeing the little guy's face clearly.
She believed that there were people who looked similar in the world, but she didn't believe that she would meet her so coincidentally, and they were inextricably linked.
Old Madam Chu asked Chu Jingxing: "Do you know who the daughter-in-law of that kid of the Mo family is?" β
Chu Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know." β
Mo Shaochen hasn't appeared in the capital for many years, he hasn't even seen him, how can he know who someone's wife is.
However, Chu Jingxing was still a little curious about his old lady becoming so gossipy.
"Why is Grandma interested in him?"
Old Madam Chu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she changed her mind again, so she just did it.
Mo Shaochen's son looks exactly the same as his grandson when he was a child, and this kind of words that will lead people to ambiguity are better rotten in the stomach.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Afraid that Qi's mother would be unwell, Qi's father chose the confinement center in the hospital, and Lin Ran stayed alone in the villa and lay his body.
It has been two months since Pei Yunxiao left, and Lin Ran's leg injury has been removed from the plaster cast to walk, but his heart is even more empty, and his longing for Pei Yunxiao has never been stronger.
According to Chu Jingxing, it has now entered the most critical moment, so the already few contacts have become less and less, and Lin Ran feels that it seems that he has not heard Pei Yunxiao's voice for a century.
Seeing that it was about to be the day of the full moon of the Qi family's dragon and phoenix fetus, Pei Yunxiao still had no news.
In such a day by day anticipation, the Qi family's dragon and phoenix are full moon, and the husband and wife plan to take a family photo, of course, please invite Lin Ran.
In the family photo that day, the husband and wife also brought Qi Youyu's clothes, just like a stand-in for their son, allowing them to complete a family photo with special significance.
That family photo not only made Lin Ran, but also made the photographer cry in awe.
After the photo came out, the couple kept stroking the clothes in the photo, as if caressing their son's cheek.
The child's full moon banquet came to an end, and the mobile phone that Lin Ran had been paying attention to finally rang.
The screen was still showing the four words of an unknown number, seeing these four words, Lin Ran's heartbeat accelerated, and he immediately connected the phone, and sure enough, he heard the voice that he had not heard for a long time.
"I asked someone to bring you a gift......
Pei Yunxiao's voice was full of exhaustion, it must be because he has been busy with work, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel distressed, and when he wanted to ask him if he had eaten well and rested, Pei Yunxiao's chuckle came: "You go out of the hotel through the back door, and someone will give you a gift there." β
"Third brother, are you busy? If you're not busy, can you just don't hang up the phone and talk to me more? β
For fear that he would hang up the phone, Lin Ran said as he walked, speaking a little hurriedly.
Pei Yunxiao obviously heard it, and said softly: "I'm free now, so don't be in a hurry and take your time!" β
Her leg injury was just right, what if something happened again?
Although Lin Ran replied well, he was afraid that the person he entrusted with him would be in a hurry, so the speed under his feet did not slow down in the slightest.
The back door of the hotel is located on a remote street, especially in the dead of night.
Lin Ranlin went out the back door, and he didn't see anyone except for a car parked on the side of the road and a few drunks.
Lin Ran looked around eagerly, and at the same time asked the man on the other side through his mobile phone: "Third brother, where is the person you are talking about?" β
The voice fell, and someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
Lin Ran turned around, and the person who caught her eye was the person she had been thinking about these days.
It had just entered summer when he left, but now it was autumn, and it really spanned a whole season.
Lin Ran's hand holding the mobile phone hung down, staring blankly at the man in front of him who was still dusty and tired, and then slammed into his arms.
Because she hit too hard, Pei Yunxiao took a small step back, and then hugged her tightly.
Smelling the unique crisp smell on his body and hearing his steady and powerful heartbeat, Lin Ran's heart immediately became full, and the whole person settled down.
She likes Pei Yunxiao, not the kind of turbulent waves, but this kind of stable and fulfilling sense of security.
God knows how much he misses her in the past few months, and that kind of miss is about to swallow him.
In his spare time, he even wondered if he would have spent more time with her if he hadn't had such a choice, at least not leaving her alone when she was injured and needed to be taken care of.
This is what makes him feel the most guilty, and he has never been able to let go.
After his breathing calmed down a little, he pulled Lin Ran in the direction of the car: "Go home!" β
After enduring it for so many months, he really couldn't bear it anymore!
So as soon as the work was over, I hurried back during the break.
Once the work was over, he realized that he really couldn't wait for a moment, and it was the first time that he had been separated for so long.
It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, of course Lin Ran knew Pei Yunxiao's intentions, and pulled him with a red face: "Third brother......"
Pei Yunxiao turned back in confusion, her blushing face under the street lamp was even more delicate, and Pei Yunxiao was even more agitated.
"I didn't tell my uncle and aunt when I came out."
"I've asked Zhao Lei to inform them."
Pei Yunxiao pulled her and continued to walk: "I also asked Zhao Lei to send the full moon ceremony, as for the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, we will visit in a few days." β
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Lin Ran a chance to speak, so he couldn't wait, he picked up Lin Ran and strode into the car across the road.
The forty-minute journey from the hotel to the villa was almost halved by Pei Yunxiao.
After returning to the villa, he still carried her out of the car and strode back to the room.
Early the next morning, Pei Yunxiao woke up early refreshed, looking at the sleeping little woman beside him, a warm smile appeared on his handsome and heroic face.
In the past few months, in the dead of night, all he thought about was Lin Ran, and even fantasized about the beautiful feeling of embracing her.
The more I miss it, the more I can only use my work to make myself more busy, so that I have no free time to miss at all, and it is precisely because of this that I can persevere.
knew that she was tired, and Lin Ran was the kind of person who slept more than the sky, and he would rather starve to death than sleep well, so Pei Yunxiao didn't ask her to get up for breakfast.
When I went downstairs to the restaurant, Wei Jizhe had already come and was already eating breakfast leisurely.
"So early?"
Wei Jizhe stuffed shrimp dumplings into his mouth and didn't answer his question: "Look at your spirit, you should have tossed Ran Ya enough last night." β
"I smell your whining grumbling." Pei Yunxiao was rarely in a good mood and teased him.
These few months have indeed been very busy, but Pei Yunxiao's resentful and deep appearance is really speechless, and many people are afraid of his majesty and dare not approach.
Now this man has finally gotten what he wants, but he hasn't seen his little Li Li yet!
Everyone is a man, isn't it okay to be considerate?
Next, Pei Yunxiao's words almost made Wei Jizhe jump off the table-
"Today's debriefing should be late, remember not to schedule an appointment."
Wei Jizhe really wanted to spray a mouthful of old blood on his face.
Can't you say earlier if you have a work arrangement? I have to wait until he has made an appointment with his Xiao Li Li before he says, isn't this making him a woman who doesn't believe in his words?
Pei Yunxiao ignored his complaints, and still said slowly: "Han Changping is much more sophisticated than Qin Beilin, and the foundation of decades is not comparable to Qin Beilin, and he also has a lot of friendship with foreign leaders, if you want to find fault, it is really easy." β
