Chapter 319 Rivalry

Steamed anchovy is Ji Chen's specialty dish, the fish body is silver and white, the fish meat is fresh and tender, sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and minced ginger and green onions, when the fish is steamed, it is poured with a special soup, and the fragrance is overflowing when it is served on the table, and Qin Shu's index finger is moved.

"It smells so good!" She couldn't help but praise, and threw a smile at Ji Chen, "I didn't expect your skills in making anchovy to be so good, but I don't know if it's full of color and flavor, I'll talk about it later." ā€

Ji Chen saw that she finally smiled at herself, and her eyes suddenly became gentle: "Then you taste it first, if you don't do it well enough, I'll go back and improve." ā€

When the two were talking, no one expected Ling Mohan to come back suddenly.

As soon as Ling Mohan walked in, he saw them looking at each other and smiling, and immediately sank his face, and his gaze shot coldly at Ji Chen: "Why are you here?" ā€

The tone was rather unceremonious, full of obvious hostility, as if Ji Chen was an intruder who had intruded into his territory.

Ji Chen's smile faded, and he said lukewarmly: "I'm here to visit the old man." ā€

"Really?" Ling Mo laughed coldly, strode to Qin Shu's side, and wrapped his long arms around her shoulders possessively, "You are so hearted, you didn't come here a few days ago, why did you choose to come over when Qin Xiaoshu was here today?" ā€

Qin Shu secretly pinched his waist and said to Ji Chen, "Can you go and ask grandpa to come downstairs for lunch?" ā€

Ji Chen knew that she wanted to get out of the way, so as not to quarrel with Ling Mohan, so he nodded with a smile.

As soon as he left the restaurant, Qin Shu immediately lowered his voice and said to Ling Mohan: "Can you not be like a cockfight every time you see Ji Chen, and you two don't have a deep hatred, you have to quarrel during dinner?" ā€

Ling Mo said coldly: "The revenge of taking away his wife!" ā€

Qin Shu turned around, raised her face and looked at him with a smile: "Colonel, when did you have such a grudge against him?" I remember when I was with him three years ago, I wasn't married to you, not your wife. Oh, dare you hide that I have an ex-wife, and then that woman called Ji Chen to snatch it? ā€

As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was nonsense.

Ling Mohan's temper was worn out by her, and when she thought of the reason why Qin Shu and Ji Chen got married three years ago, her face softened, and she said hatefully: "Qin Xiaoshu, you will provoke peach blossoms for me." ā€

"I don't have it."

"A Qi Mingran, a Yang Bin, and your childhood sweetheart's ex-husband, do you dare to say no?"

"How dare I provoke you." Qin Shu stretched out her thin white fingers and gently picked up Ling Mohan's chin, with a smug and delicate smile between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, "Wash up tonight and wait for me on the bed, I will definitely turn over your brand." ā€

Ling Mohan's lower abdomen tightened slightly, and he grabbed her hand: "This is what you said!" ā€

Qin Shu was about to tease him a few more words, when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ji Chen and An Xiaoxiao walking over from the living room with the old man in their arms, and hurriedly pushed Ling Mohan: "Grandpa is here." ā€

Ling Mohan bit her index finger unwillingly, and then let go of Qin Shu.

After Old Lady Ling sat down at the head of the table, everyone took their seats.

Qin Shu and Ling Mohan sat on the right hand side of the old man, opposite Secretary Yu, Ji Chen, and An Xiaoxiao.

It is said that the older you get, the more you like to be with young people, so that you seem to be very energetic, which is completely applicable to the old man.

He looked at the four grandchildren at the table, three of whom he had grown up watching, and now sat together, reminding the old man that when he was young, he had gone to war before they were so old.

Now that the fresh and energetic faces were in front of him, the old man looked very happy, and said to Ling Mohan: "Akan, you go and take out the bottle of Moutai that I treasure, and I'll have a drink with you." ā€

Qin Shu smiled: "Grandpa, are you happy today?" ā€

"Of course I'm glad!" Old lady Ling said with a lot of anger, and her spirit was very good, "Several of you grew up in the military region, and you have been good since you were a child, and now it is rare to get together, I am happy for you." ā€

Ling Mohan nodded and said, "You really should have a drink." ā€

After a while, he returned with wine.

Mrs. Ling's bottle of Moutai is a special wine, treasured for decades, the color is clear and transparent, mellow and fragrant, a sip is thousands of yuan, the key is that the degree is not small, the average amount of wine is enough to drink two sips.

Qin Shu was pregnant with a baby, and An Xiaoxiao was allergic to alcohol, so they couldn't drink alcohol, so they had to drink soup.

The old man is old, and after the small half glass of wine goes down, the old man's face flushed, and he waved his hand and sighed: "It's old and old, and it's not okay to be old." In the past, not to mention this half glass of wine, even a bottle of wine could hit the enemy's head. ā€

Secretary Yu helped him up and said with a smile: "You also said that it was before, and now it is the world of young people, so you can enjoy it." ā€

The old man was overwhelmed by the wine, so he went upstairs to rest.

There were only four people left at the table.

Ling Mohan picked up the Moutai wine again, poured himself a full glass, and then his eyes fell on Ji Chen opposite, and said with a smile: "We two big men, it's not interesting to drink a little, at least we have to fill a glass." ā€

Ji Chen smiled lightly: "I am extremely happy." ā€

This attitude was simply a provocation for Ling Mohan!

Every man is born with an aggressive factor in his bones, not to mention that Ling Mohan was still holding back his anger just now, but because Qin Shu didn't have a seizure, he finally found a way to vent openly.

He directly clinked glasses with Ji Chen and drank it all.

Ji Chen also has not a drop left.

Qin Shu's eyebrows furrowed slightly and invisibly.

She knew that Ji Chen's alcohol consumption was not very good, similar to herself, after a glass of high-altitude Moutai wine, Ji Chen's face was already slightly pale, and Ling Mohan quickly poured him a full glass.

Ling Mohan has specialized in alcohol training, drinking alcohol is like drinking boiled water, and a glass of Moutai has no effect on him.

Qin Shu gently tugged at Ling Mohan's clothes under the table, suggesting that he should stop in moderation.

Ling Mohan didn't react, raised his glass and said to Ji Chen, "Come, this glass of wine is to celebrate your return to Lin City." ā€

"Good!" Ji Chen smiled and drank it.

"I thank you for this glass of wine, thank you for taking care of Qin Xiaoshu for me for a while."

"This glass of wine is a toast to our soldiers."

……

When Ling Mohan was about to give Ji Chen the fifth glass of wine, Qin Shu finally couldn't help it, pressed his hand, and whispered: "Ahan, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, maybe I have eaten too much, you can accompany me to lie down for a while." ā€

Ling Mohan looked at her for a few seconds, put down the wine glass and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ā€

Ji Chen sat there, his face was pale, his lips were white, and even the hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, obviously holding on to it so that he didn't fall down.

An Xiaoxiao looked worried, looked at Ji Chen, and then at Qin Shu, but didn't dare to look at Ling Mohan.

Qin Shu stood up and said to An Xiaoxiao, "The third cabinet in the living room drawer has hangover medicine, you can get it for Ji Chen." ā€

"I see." An Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, "Sister Qin, go and rest." ā€

"Hmm." Qin Shu glanced at Ji Chen, met his still gentle eyes, couldn't help but be stunned, and felt even more guilty and uneasy, but he could only turn around and walk out.

Ling Mohan saw her expression in his eyes, and a wave of anger surged into his heart again, and when he returned to the room, he mocked: "Do you feel sorry for him? ā€

Qin Shu didn't want to pay attention to him, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Ling Mohan didn't get a response, his jealousy was even heavier, and he walked in after him, grabbing her hand: "Speak!" ā€

Qin Shu asked lightly, "Are you angry at me?" ā€

"Nope!" Ling Mohan gritted his teeth and said.

"That's good." Qin Shu sneered, shook off Ling Mohan's hand, threw the towel on the bath, turned around and walked out, it could be seen that the anger was greater than Ling Mohan's, but he just endured it and didn't have a seizure.

Ling Mohan punched the wall, two green tendons stretched out from his neck, and it took a while to suppress the jealousy and anger.

"Qin Xiaoshu must feel sorry for Ji Chen's kid!" He thought sourly.

The wine that was drunk into the stomach turned into old vinegar at this time.

Ling Mohan was so sour that he felt uncomfortable, both aggrieved and angry, and his whole person was like a sleepy beast, going around the room, but he couldn't get half of Qin Shu's words.

In the living room, after Ji Chen swallowed hangover medicine, he vomited twice in the bathroom, and when he came out, his face was bloodless.

An Xiaoxiao said worriedly: "Brother Ji Chen, why don't I accompany you to the hospital?" ā€

"I'm fine, I'll let you see the joke." Ji Chen leaned back on the sofa, covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and the corners of his lips curled into a bitter smile, "I just don't want to admit defeat, I don't want Xiaoshu to think that I am inferior to him in anything." ā€

But he still lost.

An Xiaoxiao looked at him and felt like seeing herself, no matter what she did, she was always inferior to Qin Shu, she couldn't even do such a simple high math problem, she could only use the question to get closer to Qin Shu.

However, as long as Qin Shu believes in her, she will have a chance to be liked and favored by Brother Mo Han!

An Xiaoxiao handed Ji Chen a glass of warm water and whispered, "Brother Ji Chen, I understand your mood. I also have a crush, even if he doesn't like me and only sees someone else, I can't help but miss him. ā€

Ji Chen didn't speak, and smiled reluctantly.

An Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly, and said tentatively: "Brother Ji Chen, have you ever thought about being with Sister Qin again?" ā€

As soon as the words came out, Ji Chen frowned and said, "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ā€

"Ah, I'm sorry, I—I'm talking nonsense again." An Xiaoxiao was like a child who had done something wrong, and kept apologizing, "I didn't mean to, I just couldn't bear to see you and Sister Qin become like this." ā€

"Forget it." Ji Chen looked very tired, closed his eyes, and slowly stood up, "I'll go back first, and when the old man wakes up, you can tell his old man for me." ā€

"But you've just drunk and can't drive, so let's take a break."

"I'm fine, just let the guards send me off."

An Xiaoxiao sent him to the gate of the courtyard, and told the guards to drive carefully, until the car gradually disappeared from sight, she slowly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a happy and somewhat smug smile.

In fact, Ling Mohan will come back suddenly at noon today, and she quietly called him to tell him that there is an elder brother named Ji Chen who has come to visit Grandpa Ling, but Sister Qin doesn't seem to be very happy, and I want to accompany Sister Qin out for a walk in the afternoon.
