Chapter 13: The Eating Turmoil
The old lady didn't move the chopsticks, Qiao Zhi and Jian Yu naturally didn't dare to move the chopsticks first, although the stomach was already hungry, in the face of the old lady's smile, Jian Yu could only sit there and laugh.
Qiao Zhi couldn't help but be a little anxious, bit her lip, and finally pretended to ask casually: "Don't you have to wait for Brother Jingchen to eat together?" β
Hearing her words, Jian Yu didn't say anything, still lowered her head and sat there silently, pampered and unshocked.
Looking at the silent Jian Yu, the old lady smiled and said, "Hehe, Ah Zhi, you don't come often, you don't know, Jingchen is usually busy, and he usually doesn't come back for lunch." β
Thinking that she wouldn't be able to see Lin Jingchen today, Qiao Zhi's face drooped, and she couldn't even maintain the most basic good face.
But at this time, Jian Yu raised his head and interjected: "Isn't it just right that he doesn't come back?" In this way, you can also accompany your mother more, if Jingchen is here, do you chat with your mother, or accompany Jingchen to catch up? Are you right, Mom? β
The old lady took the opportunity to answer: "Yes, sometimes letting that kid be at home really ruined the atmosphere between the three of us, just like that, it's just right not to come back!" β
Saying this, Mother He had already led someone over with the soup, looking at the happy old lady who was smiling, and the simple words that were rare to smile so brightly, Mother He said with a smile: "What did the old lady say, it's rare to see the lady so happy!" β
Mother He was originally an old man in the family, and the old lady didn't treat her as an outsider: "Doesn't this mean that Jingchen won't come back, I think it's good, if he is at home, there is nothing to whisper between us women!" β
Although she heard the old lady's words with disgust, how could Mother He not know her thoughts, and said jokingly: "What the old lady said, if the young master doesn't go home for a few days, isn't it you who is most anxious at that time?" β
Originally, it was just a joke, and the old lady naturally couldn't have wanted Lin Jingchen to go home, so she also said: "Hehe, if he dares not to go home for a few days, see that I don't break his leg." β
As soon as she heard the old lady say this, Qiao Zhi's heart instantly ignited hope, and her originally low mood was full of fighting spirit, and she finally put a smile on her face again.
I have been looking at Qiao Zhi's simple words, and seeing that her complexion has changed so quickly, the corners of her mouth can't help but show a sneer, and she instantly became well-behaved, and said to the old lady with an innocent smile: "Mom, Jingchen has a lot of things to do recently, and the time is relatively tight, so it is not certain that he can't come back!" β
As soon as she heard this, without waiting for Qiao Zhi to speak, the old lady frowned first: "What does this mean?" Jingchen: Did he tell you in advance? β
I didn't expect the old lady to react so much, Jian Yu was stunned for a moment, and smiled gently: "Mom, although Jingchen didn't say it, he came back late in the past two days, isn't that the company's business?" β
Hearing Jian Yu say this, the old lady felt a lot more relieved, this daughter-in-law has been at home for so long, how to look at it before, how unpleasant, now it is hard to look well-behaved and sensible, a lot of satisfaction, and I want her to give birth to a grandson as soon as possible to hold herself, but at this juncture, let the two of them have a problem with their relationship.
But Qiao Zhi, who also heard this, her eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, why did Brother Jingchen talk nonsense here when she didn't say anything? Maybe she used some shady means to confuse Brother Jingchen and prevent him from meeting with her!
It's just a disgusted woman, and she dares to grab her position, don't wait for one day to let yourself grab her handle, and let her die without a place to be buried!
Although she thought so viciously in her heart, in front of the old man, Qiao Zhi didn't dare to show it at all, but said worriedly: "I didn't expect Brother Jingchen to be so busy, I was still thinking about coming back and catching up with him well, it seems that there is no fun." After speaking, he just looked regretful, and he didn't look like he had a straight face before.
Looking at her white lotus look, Jian Yu couldn't help but sneer, and was even more disdainful in her heart, but she pretended to be extremely sorry on her face, and said: "You haven't seen Jingchen for so long, it's normal to not know these things, the company has Jingchen, and the development has been good, so I have always arranged my time very tightly, and Shenlong, who is busy all day long, can't see the end, and it's not easy for me to meet him." β
Jane's words are chiseled, and he almost says, "Which onion are you?" If you want to see Lin Jingchen? β
The old lady couldn't help but feel and said: "Yes, Jingchen has been busy with the company in the past few years, big and small, and sometimes let him come back for a meal, he pushes back, and he is very distressed to see me, but he is helpless!" β
Mrs. Lin said this, Qiao Zhi believed a lot, and she couldn't help but be a little happy in her heart, Brother Jingchen was so busy, which means that she has very little time with Jian Yu, and those two people must have no feelings, and they have a lot of opportunities, which is great!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi's eyes when she looked at Jian Yu were a little more sympathetic, and she was even more proud.
However, she concealed it very well and did not let the old lady notice. But Jian Yu, who has been secretly poking and observing her, really took these looks into her eyes without leaking, and couldn't help but sigh silently, after all, she is still a little girl, how can this little Taoist line be her opponent?
The meal finally passed like this, and Qiao Zhi, who did not achieve her goal, not only did not please the old lady, but made the old lady like Jianyu more, and she was secretly anxious.
Jian Yu chatted with the old lady after eating and went back to the room, the old lady was old and had the habit of taking a nap, so she also went to rest.
Only the servants were left in the entire villa, and Qiao Zhi.
Qiao Zhi looked at the maid who was bowing her head and took the initiative to talk: "How long have you been working here?" β
The woman thought about it, and it was not a secret, so she said without concealing it: "Miss Bugui, I have been working in this villa for three years. β
Three years, enough to understand a person's habits, good!
Qiao Zhi smiled more kindly, and spoke more gently: "Then do you know when Brother Jingchen usually comes back?" β
The woman didn't speak directly, obviously hesitantβwhat did the eldest lady ask for? Moreover, didn't the young grandmother say it when eating? How does this make her answer?
Qiao Zhi could naturally guess what she was thinking, and said casually, "What are you afraid of?" I just ask casually, if you don't say it's a big deal, I'll ask others, see what makes you embarrassed. β
It seems that she is still a woman who keeps her mouth shut, Qiao Zhi's teeth itch with hatred in her heart, heh, one sentence can't solve such a fool, if she hadn't seen it useful, she would have been fired now!
But even if she is angry again, she still has to endure it, after all, this is in the Lin family, and Lin Jingchen is not here, no matter how much she has means, it is useless.
