Chapter 57: The First Time I Took Her Away! (Revised)
When Jing Moxian arrived at Jing Mansion, he saw that the servants were all standing in the courtyard, and they were all uneasy.
He called the butler over, "What's going on?" β
The housekeeper's name is Ding Bo, and he is an old man who has watched him grow up, and he can't help but say a few more words at this moment. "That Su Yunqing came to make trouble early in the morning, saying that you robbed Lu Suyao's wife, and that when Miss Ji and Lu Suyao were not divorced, Miss Ji was pregnant. The child in this belly...... I don't know whose it is......"
Jing Moxian's eyes were fierce, and a cold light burst out from his eyes, "I know, you let the servants go out, I'll go in and have a look." β
"Yes, yes."
..........
The hall was quiet, Su Yunqing didn't know whether he was tired of crying or annoyed, and he was sitting on the floor and moaning weakly at the moment. Humming in a very chagrinous voice.
Jing Moxian stepped inside, and his gaze faintly swept over the person sitting on the sofa-
Old man Jing, old lady Jing, and Jing Zhiqi.
On the coffee table in front of them, there was also a red divorce certificate.
The old lady saw Jing Moxian. Immediately got up, "Mo Xian, is there some misunderstanding?" β
Jing Moxian patted his grandmother's shoulder soothingly, sat on the sofa opposite, and folded his long legs, "The child in Ji Xiao's belly is mine." β
Old Man Jing raised his head suddenly, and smashed an ashtray directly.
Jing Moxian leaned slightly to the side, and the corner of the crystal ashtray grazed his forehead, and a fine pain came.
It should have been bruised and bleeding.
"How do you know the kid is yours? Counting the days, Ji Xiao was not divorced at that time! The old man trembled with anger, "Are you trying not to marry Zhiqi?" So you just found a random woman to fool us two old guys?! β
Jing Zhiqi cried on the side, her eyes were red and swollen, "Grandpa, grandma......"
Jing Moxian raised her eyebrows, "It's the first time I've taken her away." β
That night, blood bloomed between her legs, and he was shocked at the time, and naturally remembered it very clearly.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.
Su Yunqing's eyes widened, Mrs. Jing couldn't close her mouth, Jing Zhiqi stopped crying, and Old Man Jing raised his hand for a moment-
Everyone's faces were full of ground. The word surprise is written.
Only Jing Moxian is still calm and calm.
After a while, Mrs. Jing was the first to react, "Then this divorce certificate is fake?" β
"It's true." Jing Moxian said, "That marriage is in name only to her. β
Mrs. Jing opened her mouth into an O shape again, and it took a while to close it back, and a touch of relief gradually appeared in her eyes, "Oh, then you should be responsible for other girls!" That's as it should be! β
Old Man Jing: "...... Old woman, you get out! Don't make a mess here! β
He knows what kind of character Jing Moxian is, and he is simply a good hand at changing the topic!
The old lady snorted at once. "I didn't make a mess! Did you hear what Ink String said? The child in Shinoshi's belly is definitely his! β
Old Man Jing raised his hand and grabbed Jing Zhiqi on the sofa, "You take your grandmother out first!" She has been a housewife for so many years, and she has no idea how complicated this society is! β
Although the Jing family is low-key in Jingzhou, it is also a big family that ranks among the top three, how many women covet this position of Mrs. Jing Moxian?
The old lady came out with a reluctant face, and before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Jing Zhiqi to pull Su Yunqing out, and there were only two people left in the room, Old Man Jing and Jing Moxian.
The old man's face was flushed, his thin snow hair trembled a little because of anger, and he slapped it heavily on the coffee table in front of him, "Even if you say that grandpa is a villain, this woman, you can't have anything to do with her anymore!" β
"Why?"
"This kid, you let her beat it!" The old man said without hesitation, "You should find an innocent girl." Grandpa doesn't care if this child is yours or not, you can't keep it! β
Jing Moxian raised his eyes slightly, his thin lips pursed.
The old man was even angrier, "You still don't understand?!" This child, even if it is yours, when the time comes, it will be said to be Lu Suyao's child! Everyone is golden, and the bones are destroyed! Those people don't care what the truth is! Only because you are the heir of the Jing family, you will drown you with saliva and drown the child! β
"The child can have the surname Ji Xiao."
The old man's muscles were violent, and he couldn't stop his heart in one breath, "There are so many women, why do you have to be her?!" β
"Why can't it be her?" Jing Moxian raised his eyebrows.
"She's a second marriage!"
"I don't mind, so why should my grandfather be worried?"
"You...... You-", the old man raised his hand and pointed to his nose, trembling with anger, "It's a big rebellion! β
He kicked it away and slammed it to the coffee table.
The old lady who was waiting outside the door rushed in at once, and clasped the old man's hand with her backhand, "What are you doing here?" Can't you say it well?! β
"Say what?! Let Zhiqi and Moli go to work in the company tomorrow, and give me a good look at him! Don't let him be in a relationship with that woman! After all, it's not all you, an old woman, who are used to it! β
Even the old lady was implicated.
"Oh, don't talk about children anymore, you can dissipate your anger first, and then talk about it when you calm down......" The old lady pressed the old man on the sofa and gave Jing Moxian a look.
Jing Moxian raised his eyes, looked at Su Yunqing who was standing outside the door, and walked towards her in a deep step, "Do you think Lu Suyao is too comfortable in the police station?" β
Su Yunqing shrank and gritted his teeth, "I know that you robbed Su Yao's wife to take revenge on me!" But your mother died in childbirth, what does it have to do with me?! At that time, she and your father were already in a bad relationship, and I just ......"
Jing Moxian smiled, the smile was cold, as if wrapped in frost and snow, "Although you are an elder, please don't lift yourself so high." Revenge on a junior? That would only dirty my own hands. β
Su Yunqing's face turned pale, "Then why are you looking for her......
To put it bluntly, with Jing Moxian's conditions, he is afraid that he can find a woman who is 10,000 times better than Ji Xiao, why is it Ji Xiao?
All this ...... She can't figure it out even if she wants to.......
Jing Moxian withdrew his gaze from Su Yunqing, turned around, and walked out of the Jing Mansion on the snow-melted blue brick ground.
...................
When the snow melts, it is the coldest, Ji Xiao wrapped the quilt at home and painted for a morning, and at noon she heard a sound outside the door, she thought that the person who came to cook had arrived, so she slowly staggered out on one foot in slippers, and was about to speak, but saw Jing Moxian standing at the door.
She was surprised, "Why are you back?" β
Jing Moxian was bending down to change his slippers, and when he heard her words, his hand paused slightly.
His eyebrows stretched out a little, I don't know if it was because of her word back, or because of the heating in the house, even the cold on the tips of his eyebrows dissipated a lot.
After changing into slippers, he walked directly towards her, "What do you eat at noon?" β
He came in a deep step, Ji Xiao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously put the information in his hand behind him, "Whatever, whatever you eat." β
"The person who cooks should be there soon."
"Oh."
Ji Xiao responded and bit his lip, "Then I'll wait in the room." β
Without waiting for Jing Moxian to speak, she turned around and closed the door and sat back on the bed.
The form in his hand was crumpled a little, and the ink marks on it had not yet had time to dry completely.
That's the form she applied to go to the Rhode Island School of Design.
Looking at the information that had just been filled out above, Ji Xiao was slightly distracted-
Really, such a fair thing, and he had to know it sooner or later.
What was she hiding?!!
.................
After being in the room for a while, the phone rang.
This time, it was the person who really cooked the rice arrived.
Ji Xiao watched a middle-aged woman busy in the house for a while, putting all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, flesh, milk and eggs into the refrigerator, and then the other party walked quickly towards her, and said in a low voice, "Miss Ji, hello, you can call me Sister Chen." In the future, I will be responsible for your three meals a day. β
"What's wrong with your voice?" Ji Xiao was surprised, "Why are you talking so quietly?" β
Sister Chen smiled and pointed to the position of the sofa.
Ji Xiao took the opportunity to look at it, only to find that Jing Moxian was already lying on the sofa, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Sister Chen pointed to the kitchen again, "I'm going to cook." Miss Ji, if you can, help Mr. get a blanket, although there is heating, but I am still worried that he will catch a cold. β
With that, she turned to the kitchen.
Ji Xiao stood in place, looked at Jing Moxian, and finally turned around and took a thin blanket out of his bedroom, covering him, and was about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw his forehead.
There was a wound on it, not deep, but there was blood oozing out.
He has a driver, a bodyguard, and a whole bunch of assistant secretaries, how could he get hurt?
Ji Xiao twisted his eyebrows, stood in place and watched for a long time, but still bent over, took out the household medicine box from under the coffee table, took out the iodine, and called softly, "Sister Chen." β
There was no movement in the kitchen, only the faint sound of the range hood.
Ji Xiao could only increase the volume, "Sister Chen......"
There was a pause on the sofa, and before she could summon a third sound, her wrist was suddenly clasped, and she lowered her eyes, and she met those black jade eyes.
There was a dark glint in his eyes, and Jing Moxian's sleepy voice sounded particularly strong, "What are you looking for Sister Chen to do?" β
The circle when his wrist was grabbed by him was so hot, Ji Xiao pinched his fingers slightly, and pulled his hand out of his palm, "Ask her to help you with medicine, how could you get hurt?" β
Jing Moxian propped up his upper body and leaned on the back of the sofa, "Nuclear explosion? β
Ji Xiao: "...... If you don't want to tell the truth, don't tell it! What a nuclear explosion! β
She put the bottle of iodine next to him, "Rub the medicine yourself." I went back to my room. β
Just about to step away, but her wrist was hot again, and before she could react, he had already gently buckled her back to the sofa-
His other arm was still resting on the back of the couch, and it looked like he was half-hugging her.
"Help me with the medicine and I'll tell you why I'm hurt."
Ji Xiao was stunned, he had already picked up iodophor and handed it to her, "Hurry up, otherwise my wound will be infected." β
Pulling out a cotton swab, Ji Xiao dipped a little potion, and with her other hand she stretched out his hair, and then pressed the potioned against his wound.
The two faces were only a fist away, and she could even feel his shallow breath on her face, brushing the hair around her ears.
Slight itching.
It also has the good smell of Zhilan and cinnamon, which is very unique.
Ji Xiao subconsciously held his breath, but his heart swelled as if something had been stuffed.
She quickly finished wiping the potion and withdrew her hand, "Alright." β
Jing Moxian sighed.
Ji Xiao quickly withdrew his hand and closed the lid of iodophor.
"Don't want to know why I'm hurt?" He asked.
Ji Xiao frowned, "If you want to say it, you will naturally tell me, but if you don't want to say it, it's useless for me to ask." β
"Do you want to know, or don't you want to know?" He seems to be particularly obsessed with this issue.
She was puzzled, "Is there a difference?" β
Jing Moxian's eyebrows were raised, and the faint smile in his eyes was gone, "Yes, there is no difference." Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. β
................ On the farmer carrying.
Because I can't use medicine, the sprain on my foot took more than a week to heal.
It's Monday again, and Ji Xiao naturally chooses to go to work.
Design this industry, a few days of delay is the change of stars, there will always be newer and more top-notch people than themselves continue to go up, she does not want to lag behind others, can only be more diligent.
Before arriving at the company, she called Xu Suixin in the car, "Your luxury European tour is almost over, right?" When will you be back? β
Who knew that Xu Suixin over there was hesitant, "That..... I seem to have won another luxury tour of Australia, and my next stop is to go sheep shearing in Australia! I won't go back to accompany you for the time being, bye-bye! β
There was another busy tone on the phone, and Ji Xiao couldn't cry or laugh-
This Xu Xinxin! There is really the potential to be a traitor!
"Miss Ji, it's here." Ali parked the car at the gate of Jing's family, and didn't forget to get out of the car and open the door, and sent Ji Xiao to the top floor before leaving.
didn't come to work for more than a week, and the focus of the design department naturally shifted from her to Shen Zhiyuan.
Ji Xiao thankfully no one noticed her anymore, turned around and went into the locker room to change into work clothes, and then walked out, and before she could sit firmly in her position, she heard the colleague next to her start gossiping-
"Have you heard? The Miss Jing Zhiqi who came to work last week, we all thought she was the little princess of the Jing family, as if she was Mr. Jing's fiancΓ©e! β
"Isn't it? How can it be?! The other person glanced at Ji Xiao as if he was nothing, "It's all surnamed Jing!" β
"She is not the biological child of the Jing family, she was adopted later, but she has already made a decision, saying that it was decided very early, our future boss lady!"
"Really?"
"How can this be fake? You see that Miss Jing usually likes to come to work or not, who dares to embarrass her? β
"This is also ......."
"During working hours, gossip is prohibited." Jiang Yu got up and sent a stack of materials to the two people who spoke, "Help me make a photocopy." Thank you. β
"Oooh-"
The two little girls immediately got up, took the information and ran away.
Jiang Yu walked in front of Ji Xiao again, "Ji Xiao." β
No response.
"Ji Xiao?" She raised her voice.
"Huh? Oh! Ji Xiao came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" Minister Jiang. β
"Wandering just at work?" Jiang Yu quipped, "How's it going?" Did you fill out the application for Rhode Island College? Do you want to hand it over to me, and I'll hand it in for you? β
"Fill it in," Ji Xiao hurriedly took out the form and handed it to Jiang Yu, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome, this time the competition is fierce, come on!" Jiang Yu raised the thick stack of forms in his hand.
"When will the results come out?"
"Hurry up, next month."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I'll take the information and hand it over to Shen Zhiyuan, you get busy first." Jiang Yu turned around.
"No, I'll pick it up myself," Shen Zhiyuan came out of his office and easily finished the stack of forms, "Don't bother Minister Jiang." β
"You're welcome, Mr. Shen."
Shen Zhiyuan stood in place, flipped through the forms slightly, and when he saw one of Ji Xiao's names, he couldn't help but smile, "Ji Xiao, come to my office." β
Ji Xiao got up, "Okay." β
...............
Shen Zhiyuan sat down behind his desk, "Just tell me if you have any difficulties in applying for the college." Brother will help you. β
Ji Xiao smiled, "Then I won't be polite to Senior Brother." β
"That's the best," Shen Zhiyuan pulled out a drawing and spread it out on his desk, "The design of the water park, I think one of the parts is a bit problematic, you come and take a look." β
The water park was about to be launched, and at this time, Ji Xiao didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong?" β
"This way." Shen Zhiyuan's fingertips tapped on the drawing, "Don't you think there's a problem?" β
Ji Xiao checked for a moment, looked at it carefully, and shook his head, "No problem, this is the nearest road connecting the two amusement projects, and the surrounding greenery is also in place, including the placement of the stalls, which is very reasonable, there is no problem." β
"Take a closer look."
Ji Xiao looked at it again, but still shook his head, "Senior brother, please make it clear." β
Shen Zhiyuan glanced at the snow outside the window, "What kind of wind blows in Jingzhou all year round?" β
"There is no wind in spring and autumn, the northwest wind is mainly in winter, and the southeast wind is mostly in summer." After Ji Xiao finished speaking, his eyes lit up, "Senior brother, do you mean ......?"
"You already know?" Shen Zhiyuan smiled with relief, showing his elegance.
Ji Xiao stretched out his hand and quickly pointed at the drawing, "Water parks, most people go in summer, and most people go in winter will choose the indoor play items of the park, so what I need to consider is the southeast wind direction in summer." β
"Go on." Shen Zhiyuan looked at her encouragingly.
"Water parks, most of the people who go to them are couples, or children. Generally, mothers bring most of them, and no woman likes her hair to be blown forward like a ghost, or how long wrinkles she has when she walks in the wind. β
"Hmm. What else? β
"So," Ji Xiao picked up his pen excitedly, "this road should be at right angles to the direction of the wind, so that the problems I just mentioned can be avoided!" β
Shen Zhiyuan's smile deepened, "The son can be taught." β
"I'll change it now!"
Ji Xiao leaned down and sketched on the drawings, holding a carbon pen in his plain white fingers, but there was an indescribable charm in the contrast between black and white.
Shen Zhiyuan stared at her hand, lost his mind slightly, just raised his hand like this, and shook it all at once.
Ji Xiao was stunned, "Senior brother? β
Shen Zhiyuan came back to his senses and realized his gaffe, he coughed dryly, "You didn't grasp this arc here, you should ....... like this"
Ji Xiao sighed, "The arc is too big?" β
"It's not too big, it's ...... like this" Shen Zhiyuan took her hand and drew a stroke on the drawing, "Take a look, in this case, is the design of this road more compatible with the overall streamline design?" β
Ji Xiao observed for a while, "It's really ......."
................
Outside the glass door, Jing Moxian passed by, and at a glance, he landed in Shen Zhiyuan's office.
Ji Xiao bent over and leaned over on the table, while Shen Zhiyuan stood next to her, squeezing her hand, and the two of them sketched together.
Outside the window, sunlight came in, hooking the figures of the two people with a layer of gold edges.
Jing Moxian's eyes deepened, and his face sank coldly.
"Mr. Jing, the board of directors is about to start." Kevin hurried over, "The directors are waiting for you. β
"Are you ready?" Jing Moxian retracted his gaze, and the fingers hanging by his side curled up slightly.
"Ready. Today I want to talk about the project of the water park. Kevin hung his head, not daring to let up.
Everyone knows what this project means to Jing Moxian, as long as this project is launched and successfully completed, he will be able to establish himself completely in Jing's family.
And the old men on the board of directors are all difficult to deal with.
"Let's go inside." Jing Moxian stepped forward and turned around and walked towards the conference room.
..................
Ji Xiao and Shen Zhiyuan came out of his office together and watched him walk into the conference room with the drawings.
She walked into the pantry next to her, poured herself a cup of hot tea and held it in the palm of her hand.
But on the back of the hand, there is still a trace of residual coolness-
Shen Zhiyuan's palm was dry, but it was also cold, not like Jing Moxian's hand, warm and powerful......
The colleague next to "Ji Xiao......" exclaimed, "Be careful!" β
Ji Xiao was startled and came back to his senses, only to realize that he almost spilled the tea and scalded himself.
She hurriedly put the cup down, shook her hand, and walked out of the pantry.
...................
Ji Xiao asked for leave in advance and got off work, because today was a monthly visit day.
She went to see Ji Lingling in prison.
The elderly's health is deteriorating, but they do not meet the standards for medical parole in prison.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to be released from prison, and the mother and daughter each comforted each other for a while, and Ji Xiao came out of prison and went home.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw Shen Zhiyuan waiting at the door of the cafΓ©.
"If you don't feel good, you can't drink coffee," Ji Xiao teased him, "Why is Senior Brother here again?" β
"Why did you leave work early? I didn't find your person, I called your phone and turned it off, so I had to come here and wait. Shen Zhiyuan smiled, "Where did you go?" β
Ji Xiao took out his mobile phone and saw that it was out of battery.
She looked at Shen Zhiyuan apologetically, "Senior brother, is there something wrong?" β
"Class reunion, this is an invitation card for you, you can take a look." Shen Zhiyuan stuffed an invitation card into Ji Xiao's hand, "Let's go together then." β
Ji Xiao flipped through and glanced at the date on it, "It's for you to catch the wind, right?" β
"Yes, so, you must appreciate your face."
"No problem, I'll go then, but I'll say okay first, I don't drink."
"I'll take care of it for you." Shen Zhiyuan did not hesitate.
He took a step forward and raised his hand to brush a strand of hair from her ear.
Fingertips rubbed over his earlobes, Ji Xiao was slightly stunned, and before he could take a step back, the sound of rapid brakes sounded in his ears.
The black sedan brushed the hem of Shen Zhiyuan's clothes and stopped beside the two people.
Shen Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he pulled Ji Xiao to take a step back.
The car door was pushed open, Jing Moxian came out of the back seat, leaned on the door, and bowed lightly to Shen Zhiyuan, "I'm sorry, the driver is driving too recklessly." β
Shen Zhiyuan saw that it was Jing Moxian, and his face was a little sneering, "Mr. Jing? Are you here for coffee? β
Jing Moxian lowered his eyes, slowly sorted out his cufflinks, and then looked at Ji Xiao behind Shen Zhiyuan, "Are you going back?" β
Shen Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment and looked back at Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and glanced at the car behind Jing Moxian, "Go back." β
Shen Zhiyuan was even more confused, "Xiaoxiao, you, you ......"
"You've been standing for too long, beware of tired my child." Jing Moxian stretched out his long arm and pulled Ji Xiao from behind Shen Zhiyuan, "I said a few times not to wear high heels, why didn't you listen?" β
Ji Xiao was embarrassed for a moment, looked at Shen Zhiyuan, and didn't know how to explain.
Shen Zhiyuan suddenly understood, and looked at Ji Xiao's flat abdomen in disbelief, the glow in his eyes dimmed a little, "Xiaoxiao? Is what he said true? β
Ji Xiao nodded weakly.
Shen Zhiyuan showed a hurt look, as if he was still unwilling to accept such a fact.
Jing Moxian clasped Ji Xiao's hand and pulled her directly into the elevator.
The door slammed shut, and in the small space, every breath of the two people was entangled.
Ji Xiao looked at his tightly knit eyebrows, a little unclear.
He was silent, and she didn't speak again.
His wrist was pinched by him a little painful, Ji Xiao broke free of his hand, and he didn't embarrass her anymore.
When the elevator reached the top floor, the door opened, and she was about to step out, but it was suddenly dark in front of her.
Jing Moxian strode in front of her, Angzang's body blocking the light overhead.
His crisp shoulders pressed down like a boulder, and Ji Xiao was a little stunned, "You blocked the door." β
"Hmm." He responded, looking a little nonchalant.
The elevator doors slammed shut and then opened.
The door opened and closed behind him, and the light of the corridor came in, reflecting the clear and extinguished in his eyes, making it impossible to see the deep meaning in his eyes.
Ji Xiao raised his head to meet her gaze, frowning slightly, "Jing Moxian, let ......"
He suddenly reached out and pinched her jaw, leaning over to take her lips in his mouthβ
