Chapter 96 Her Doubt

After the two returned home, Zheng Xiaxia deliberately told Qi Mingzhi about the restaurant, and even expressed her doubts.

But Qi Mingzhi directly shook his head and vetoed: "Xia Xia, this is impossible, it's all just your wild imagination."

Originally thought that Qi Mingzhi would stand by her side as usual, but when he uttered these words, Zheng Xiaxia realized how naive her thoughts were.

Her face turned green and then pale, and then turned pale and blue.

Seeing that Zheng Xiaxia was silent in place, Qi Mingzhi suddenly realized that he had said something wrong.

He grabbed Zheng Xiaxia's hand, and Qi Mingzhi bowed his head guiltily.

"Xia Xia, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't believe you, nor that I don't want to believe you. It's because this restaurant was owned by my family before. I know the origin of this restaurant very well, and I will never follow you. Those bandits got in touch."

Zheng Xiaxia didn't say anything to Qi Mingzhi, she just mentioned that the big restaurant might have something to do with those bandits.

As for Zheng Xiaxia's life experience, she always felt that it was somehow related to this restaurant.

That's why Zheng Xiaxia kept investigating.

Speaking of this with Qi Mingzhi, Zheng Xiaxia just hoped that Qi Mingzhi would support her, but now after seeing Qi Mingzhi's reaction, Zheng Xiaxia realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.

She gave a bitter smile, and Zheng Xiaxia shook her head towards Qi Mingzhi: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go."

"Where are we going?"

Looking at Zheng Xiaxia in shock, Qi Mingzhi was very confused, he didn't know where he was going with Zheng Xiaxia?
When Qi Mingzhi asked this question, he stared straight at Zheng Xiaxia, hoping to get Zheng Xiaxia's answer.

But Zheng Xiaxia didn't say a word.

Qi Mingzhi felt more and more strange in his heart, and he was also very sorry. If he had known Zheng Xiaxia's reaction earlier, he would never have said that before.

But now I regret it...

Qi Mingzhi knew it was too late.

He bowed his head towards Zheng Xiaxia, and Qi Mingzhi said apologetically, "Xiaxia, I'm really sorry for you."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you can rest."

She took out the previous account book, Zheng Xiaxia also lit the diesel lamp, and started to look at the account book seriously.

Qi Mingzhi stretched out his hand and pinched Zheng Xiaxia's cheek.

His tone was very doting: "Xia Xia, don't read it, let me take you out for dinner, okay?"

"Going out to eat at this time?" Zheng Xiaxia looked up at the dark sky, curious.

Qi Mingzhi nodded with a smile: "Second Uncle said let's go over for dinner today, Xia Xia, shall we go there?"

She wanted to refuse, but thought that Second Uncle Qi might know some gossip, so she nodded and agreed.

Zheng Xiaxia changed her clothes.

She followed Qi Mingzhi to Uncle Qi's house.

Uncle Qi didn't know how to cook, so he simply bought food from a restaurant and had it delivered.

Looking at the large table of food, Zheng Xiaxia wanted to slander.

But I thought about the purpose of coming here this time...

She coughed and pretended to walk in front of Second Uncle Qi. Just as Zheng Xiaxia was about to speak, Second Uncle Qi took the lead and said, "Xia Xia, Qi Mingzhi, please sit down and eat."

Qi Mingzhi held Zheng Xiaxia back, so she had no choice but to sit down with him.

He poured wine for Qi Mingzhi, and Second Uncle Qi poured himself another glass.

Seeing Zheng Xiaxia lick the corner of his lips, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiaxia, then I'll pour you a glass too."

Same goes for Zheng Xia Xiaman.

The three clinked their wine glasses, and Zheng Xiaxia thought that she still had serious things to do today, so she didn't dare to drink too much, so she could only take a sip.

After a while, Zheng Xiaxia looked up at Second Uncle Qi.

She said carefully, "second uncle, I have something important to ask you."

Hearing this, Second Uncle Qi raised his eyebrows.

He could probably guess why Zheng Xiaxia came here, and when he heard this from Zheng Xiaxia's mouth, Second Uncle Qi could only sigh: "Tell me, what is it?"

Uncle Qi stared at Zheng Xiaxia, also waiting for Zheng Xiaxia's answer.

But Zheng Xiaxia in front of him kept silent. Her silence made Second Uncle Qi frowned, and he became more and more curious.

Uncle Qi could only focus on Qi Mingzhi.

The moment Uncle Qi watched it, Qi Mingzhi immediately shook his head: "I don't know what's going on either."

Looking away, Second Uncle Qi took a sip of wine: "Xia Xia, we are already a family, and we don't talk about each other, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

With Uncle Qi's words, Zheng Xiaxia heaved a sigh of relief.

She finally plucked up the courage to say, "Second Uncle, I'm here to ask about the restaurant."

Hearing the word restaurant from Zheng Xiaxia's mouth, Second Uncle Qi was slightly stunned, and after a while, he laughed out loud.

"Xia Xia, did Qi Mingzhi say something to you?"

Zheng Xiaxia shook her head, and she said solemnly: "It's not what Qi Mingzhi said to me, it's just that I suspect that the big restaurant may have some shady dealings with the bandits, so I'm asking you, second uncle. Is there anything you can do to support me?"

Second Uncle Qi put down the wine glass, and he shook his head at Zheng Xiaxia, with the serious expression on his face as always.

"Xia Xia, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I don't know about it either."

Zheng Xiaxia smiled bitterly, knowing that Second Uncle Qi would not answer her question, she could only pick up the wine glass and drink it down.

Drink to vent the depression in my heart.

Qi Mingzhi snatched the wine glass from Zheng Xiaxia's hand, and he shook his head.

"Xia Xia, don't do this."

Qi Mingzhi's words came from one side, and Zheng Xiaxia smiled wryly: "Qi Mingzhi, it's not that I want to do this, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she sighed again.

Seeing that Zheng Xiaxia stopped abruptly, Qi Mingzhi could probably guess what Zheng Xiaxia's unfinished sentence was.

After eating, Qi Mingzhi and Zheng Xiaxia bid farewell to Second Uncle Qi. When the two were about to leave, Second Uncle Qi suddenly called Zheng Xiaxia down: "Xiaxia, I can tell you some gossip."

Zheng Xiaxia was obviously taken aback.

When she realized it, she smiled softly again.

"What gossip?"

Asked this question, Zheng Xiaxia waited for Second Uncle Qi to answer.

But after most of the day passed, Second Uncle Qi in front of him was thinking about something, and he kept silent.

Zheng Xiaxia looked at Qi Mingzhi: "Qi Mingzhi, wait for me outside, I want to have a good chat with my second uncle."

Qi Mingzhi had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll go first."

He dropped these words, and Qi Mingzhi left in a hurry.

Not long after Qi Mingzhi left, Zheng Xiaxia took another look at Second Uncle Qi, and asked curiously, "Uncle, can we talk now?"
