don't want to miss you

Chapter 13
They wanted to stay until the evening, but Yong Ge asked Shi Mochi to go back to the company to discuss something, so Jiang Qiaoan had no choice but to go home by himself.

Xu Shi was in the right mood. In the evening, the backyard of the house looked very beautiful. She suddenly became interested and asked Aunt Sun to help find all the tools for oil painting.

When Shi Tuojin happened to pass by, he stopped to watch, and after watching for a long time, he said, "Although you and your mother look alike, your tempers are completely different. Yu Jie has the most lively temper, and she can only be quiet for a while when she is painting. The focused expression on your face is exactly the same as yours now."

Only then did Jiang Qiaoan realize that Shi Tuojin was standing behind her, she only glanced sideways, responded softly, and continued with the matter in her hands, without any intention of stopping the chat.

Shi Tuo has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is very good at observing words and expressions. These days, Jiang Qiaoan's respect for himself and his wife has not been hidden. He naturally can't understand: "Do you have a problem with me and your Aunt Yang?"

Even though Shi Mochi and Shi Mochi are not real siblings, after hearing what Yang Ruiqi said, every time Jiang Qiaoan sees Shi Tuojin, he feels particularly awkward.

Even if some words are known to be true, they are equally lethal, not to mention that no one can tell what happened back then.

So Jiang Qiaoan could only pretend to be stupid: "Why do you think so?"

Shi Tuojin simply pulled a chair and sat beside her, and asked the nanny to make a pot of tea and bring it over: "Are you still blaming your aunt for letting you leave? I was too concerned about Mo Chi's affairs, I didn't know that his girlfriend was you, if I knew it early on, I wouldn't have let you go by myself."

"Auntie told you what happened four years ago?" Jiang Qiaoan was startled, and put down the paintbrush in his hand.

"I recently asked why she didn't tell you even though she knew you were Yu Jie's daughter, so she just talked a little bit, not in too much detail." Shi Tuojin didn't seem to want to talk about it, "Now we are all a family. In the past, you Call her mother, and it will be the same in the future, because she spent more time with Shi Mochi, so she inevitably favored him a little bit before, and she feels that she owes you for not being by your side these years, so don't worry, I will be with her in the future It will definitely hurt you more than Mo Chi when it hurts."

The more he didn't want to talk about four years ago, the more strange Jiang Qiaoan felt. After hearing the last sentence, she felt very inexplicable: "How can I compare this with Mo Chi? I'm not a child, and I don't care who the elders care about." More."

Shi Tuojin smiled ambiguously, and said: "I don't have time when I'm busy, and I have a lot of time to think about family affairs when I'm sick. When I think of your mother, I naturally think of you, so I just ask Someone came to you to see if there is anything that needs my help. I am still surprised, how come I know so much information, but there is no response. So you thought I came to you to oppose you and Shi Mochi I was so angry that I refused to see him."

"How do you know that I'm afraid of your objection, so I avoid seeing you? I'm not angry with you."

"Haha, I guessed it. Your mother gave birth to your grandparents at that time... I'm talking about the anger of your grandparents on your father's side. They knew you were born and wanted to go and see. Your mother would not let you die. I said early in the morning that I don’t care, but now I’m still looking at what I’m looking at, my temper is very stubborn... So once your Aunt Yang said that she once opposed you and Shi Mochi, and I saw that you didn’t want to get close to us, I understood why you Avoid me, you are Yu Jie's daughter after all, even if you don't grow up beside her, you should inherit some of her temperament."

Shi Tuojin took the tea set from the nanny and poured a cup for Jiang Qiaoan: "I heard from Ruiqi that you didn't get along well with your stepmother? We didn't take care of you, your father didn't care about the family, and your stepmother didn't." Be kind, it's no wonder you love to think too much... It won't happen in the future, of course grandpa and grandma needless to say, your aunt and I will make it up to you, although I often scold Shi Mochi, but he still has some advantages, and he is not touched. Those bad habits that go on and on outside can be regarded as reliable, and they will never bully you after marriage."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiaoan finally confirmed one thing, and asked with a smile: "Did Aunt Yang tell you why she opposed me and Shi Mochi?"

Shi Tuojin didn't expect her to ask this directly, and he didn't want to repeat the unpleasant past, so he said: "She is careful, she thinks more, and it is normal to worry more."

Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help but sneered: "Hehe, what Auntie told you was that she was worried that I just wanted to use Shi Mo Chi to get close to her, and that Shi Mo Chi opposed us and let me go because she was worried that I didn't treat Shi Mo Chi sincerely. ?”

Jiang Qiao'an's tone was too unfriendly, Shi Tuojin couldn't help but frowned after hearing that, from Grandpa Shi, Shi Tuojin, Shi Tuo first to Shi Mochi, almost all the men in the Shi family were serious and seldom talked, Shi Tuojin The reason why I can talk so much with Jiang Qiao'an is not because she is the son's girlfriend, but because she is the daughter of the younger sister who died young.

But before he could say what he had said to educate her, Jiang Qiaoan said first: "I also don't want me to be with Mo Chi, but the reason your wife explained to you and Mo Chi is completely different from the one that fooled me. "

"What is fooling? Since you are an elder, no matter whether you can understand it now, you should respect your words."

"Isn't it a lie to say something different every time? If she wasn't an elder, I would have used 'nonsense'!" Guessing that Yang Ruiqi told Shi Tuojin the set of slander she told Shi Mochi again, Jiang Jiang Qiao An was furious for a while, and asked uncontrollably, "You hate my father? Because your wife once married him?"

The original words were not speculative, but Shi Tuojin was getting up and about to leave, when he heard this sentence, he sat back again: "I really hate your father, but it's because he treats your mother badly, and your mother didn't even want her parents because of him." , but he often quarreled with her for no reason. If it weren't for this, your mother wouldn't have run out in the middle of the night, so how could something have happened? She called me before the accident and said that she was going to divorce your father and would come by car to find him. Me, I was busy with other things at that time, so I didn't think much about it. I just advised her not to be impulsive. After all, she had children, so she should change her temper... Later, whenever I think about it, I regret it. If the car goes to pick her up, she won't have that kind of accident."

"You have a very good relationship with my mother. She broke up with her mother's family. When she was wronged, she didn't go to her two sisters, but to you right away?"

Shi Tuojin took a sip of tea before saying: "Yes. Because she is the youngest daughter, your grandparents have spoiled her since she was a child. Whenever she messes around, I am the only one in the family who will teach her a lesson, but she is the closest to me and the closest to me." Like to cling to me."

Jiang Qiaoan was silent for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he asked cautiously: "I heard that she likes you very much. It's the kind of love between men and women... When you married Mo Chi's mother, she still opposed it very sadly, so that's why you want to marry me." It made my grandparents angry... are these all true?"

Hearing this at first, Shi Tuojin was very surprised at first, and then reprimanded Jiang Qiaoan very, very displeasedly: "You can also talk about the elders casually like this. Your father taught you this way when you were young? You can also say these things to your daughter. exit!"

"My father never said such a thing to me." Shi Tuojin's reaction was more intense than Jiang Qiaoan imagined. Seeing that he was so angry after just saying this sentence, she didn't dare to continue talking and changed the subject Said, "Dinner is probably ready, uncle, let's go out for dinner."

Shi Tuojin, who was rarely angry, was rarely aggrieved: "Who else would tell you such a bastard except Jiang Zhen! Yu Jie has passed away, he doesn't feel guilty, and he won't say more about her to you , It’s really absurd to turn this upside down! So your grandparents looked down on him back then, and I also objected to your mother being nice to him at the time! It can be seen that the eyes of the elders can never be wrong. "

"...My father has passed away. It's not good for you to say that about the deceased. I didn't know who my mother was in the past, let alone my relationship with the Shi family. You can calm down and think about it." You should know that he couldn't have told me these words."

"..."

"You have time to scold my father, remember my mother, and talk to me so that I can understand your wife's good intentions. You might as well ask her what she wants to do. Four years ago, she told me that because of the strict family tradition of the Shi family, she The second marriage is difficult, and you mind my dad, she will be very difficult when I am with Shi Mochi, so please let me leave with the money. When I came back a few months ago, she asked me to leave the company and told me Mochi Chi doesn't really love me, but only came to pester me because I was abandoned and unbalanced back then, and the Shi family looked down on our Jiang family, so they wouldn't agree to us being together."

"The morning before I saw you and grandpa and grandma, she told me again that the previous stories were all lies and excuses. She tried every means to separate Mo Chi and me for our own good, because the relationship between you and my mother is not clear. Chu, ambiguous, and Mo Chi and I may be half-brothers and sisters... Also, Uncle Shi, although I am not generous, I am not so stingy that I am so stingy about my boyfriend's parents' opposition. I am pregnant, so that I am about to become a family, and I deliberately shrugged my face. My father taught me the principles of being a man no matter how much he cares about his family. It’s just that there are some things and words that I can’t forget for a while, so I would like to thank you and you Madame can't respect it."

"You said that your mother likes it...Ruiqi told you? And Yu Jie and I don't know, you and Mo Chi are half brothers and sisters?"

Jiang Qiaoan did not answer directly: "After listening to what she said that day, I had no choice but to avoid Mo Chi and come back for DNA testing."

The glass room fell silent for a moment, Shi Tuojin couldn't see anything on his face, even the anger when he heard Jiang Qiao'an asking his sister if he fell in love with him disappeared completely, but his breathing became a little heavier, he stared at Jiang Qiaoan watched for a few seconds, then turned and walked out.

The nanny came in with a glass jug to add hot water. Seeing this, she didn't know how to advance or retreat as if she had broken some secret. When Shi Tuojin passed by, she held the jug in front of him, smiled embarrassingly, and subconsciously explained : "I'm here to bring hot water."

Shi Tuojin was irritable, raised his hand, and the glass pot fell down, the nanny was startled, Jiang Qiaoan was also startled, Aunt Sun came over to ask the two of them to eat, seeing Shi Tuojin's expression was even more unexpected, Only when he was far away did he dare to ask Jiang Qiaoan: "What's the matter, sir?"

Jiang Qiaoan was upset and just shook his head.

Yang Ruiqi was not at home, Shi Tuojin told Aunt Sun to call and asked her to come back immediately, and went back to the study directly.

Shi Mochi was out to socialize, Shi Tuojin didn't come out for dinner, Yang Ruiqi hadn't rushed back yet, only grandparents and Jiang Qiaoan were left at the dinner table, which was much more deserted than usual.

Grandpa Shi sensed the strange atmosphere in the house, and asked the nanny beside him: "Where's the boss? Go ask him to come out! You'll have to ask for a meal."

The nanny didn't dare to go over to call, and secretly glanced at Jiang Qiaoan who was drinking soup.

Grandma Shi also felt that something was wrong, and smoothed things over and said, "Eat yours, don't care what he does, he is so big, he will eat it when he is hungry."

Shi Mochi only said that he would talk to his mother, but in fact he never said a word. He was fooled by Yang Ruiqi for many years, and Jiang Qiaoan couldn't understand if he didn't tell these things.But when she really told it to Shi Tuojin, seeing his reaction, she felt a little bit regretful. Although the details didn’t make sense, Yang Ruiqi’s words were indeed reasonable on the whole; although Shi Tuojin misunderstood herself and accused It was difficult for my father to accept it, and at this moment he felt that he was too impulsive a moment ago.

It is not her wish to break the hard-won peace at the moment.

Jiang Qiaoan lost his appetite, drank half a bowl of cinnamon jujube and yam soup, and went back to the room under the pretext of being sleepy.

As soon as she left, Grandma Shi immediately asked the nanny: "What's wrong with the two of them?"

The nanny didn't want to cause trouble, so she pretended to be silly and smiled: "Which two?"

"Boss and Xiao An."

"I don't know."

Grandma Shi frowned: "You don't know why grandpa asked you to ask the boss to come out for dinner, why didn't you go, and why did you go to Xiao An's place? Did the two of them quarrel? Why?"

The nanny faltered and said: "I really don't understand. When I went in, I heard my husband say to Ms. Jiang, 'the relationship is not clear, you and Shi Mochi are half brothers and sisters', Then Ms. Jiang said, 'Avoid Mo Chi for DNA testing'..."

When Yang Ruiqi came back, she saw her father-in-law, mother-in-law and husband in the living room, and explained with a smile: "I chatted with Lan Yi's mother late, and she insisted on keeping me for dinner, so I can't always push it away."

Seeing no one answered, her smile faltered, and she continued to say: "Where are Xiao Chi and Qiao An? These two children didn't come back for lunch, have they come back now? If they don't come back, hurry up and call. The weather forecast It is said that there will be sleet at night, if a pregnant woman catches a cold and has a fever and cannot take injections and medicines, she should be careful."

"Come and sit down."

Shi Tuojin's voice was calm, but Yang Ruiqi was surprised for no reason.

Grandma Shi said to Aunt Sun: "Go and see what Xiao An is doing, and call her out if she hasn't fallen asleep. You are tired all day, go and rest."

Aunt Sun secretly winked at Yang Ruiqi, then turned and knocked on Jiang Qiaoan's door.

Yang Ruiqi guessed that Xu's worries for many days had finally come true, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and the expression on her face froze instantly, but she couldn't immediately explain, while observing the expressions of the three people, she asked with luck: " Is something serious going on?"

But still no one answered.

Yang Ruiqi was even more apprehensive, standing or sitting for a while.The room was too quiet, and the pendulum of the clock seemed to hit her heart one after another, making people flustered for no reason.

Seeing Jiang Qiaoan walk out, grandma finally said: "There is something I don't understand, so I want to ask you, please sit down."

Knowing that she couldn't hide, Yang Ruiqi had no choice but to adjust her breathing, put the bag in her hand aside, and sat down generously.

It's always difficult for men to talk about such things, so grandma asked: "Xiao An, did you come back here suddenly that day to do a DNA test?"

Hearing Jiang Qiaoan hum, she turned to ask Yang Ruiqi: "She was born to the boss and Yu Jie, did you say that?"

"Dad, Mom, Tuojin, please don't be angry, I dare not tell you this because I am afraid of making you angry." Yang Ruiqi quickly explained, "I just told Qiao An that there is such a possibility, not necessarily... "

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Tuojin couldn't hold his breath, stood up and interrupted sharply: "What's the possibility! It's thanks to you that you made up such a thing! You can still tell the younger generation! It's just ridiculous!"

After more than [-] years of marriage, Shi Tuojin had never said anything harsh to her. In the astonishment, Yang Ruiqi was extremely wronged and couldn't hold it back for a moment. She blushed in front of the elders and juniors: "I didn't make up these words. It was Qiao An's father who said that if Xiao Chi and Qiao An hadn't become a couple by such a coincidence, I would not have said a word anyway, I don't know the seriousness, and I would not make fun of our family's reputation."

"What did that bastard say?"

Hearing Grandpa Shi's words, Jiang Qiao'an was really annoyed, but he couldn't argue with the angry old man.

Both grandparents and Shi Tuojin were angry, so of course they couldn't take her emotions into consideration.

Only Yang Ruiqi glanced at Jiang Qiaoan, who was sitting on the other side, and said carefully before saying: "At that time, Yu Jie had just passed away. I saw that the child was not taken care of, so I went to help. Jiang Zhen was in a bad mood and often Drinking, leaving Qiao An in the care of the nanny, once I really couldn't see it, so I said a few words to him, blaming him for always being awkward with Yu Jie at that time, and it's useless to regret and blame yourself when it gets to this point , only by cheering up and taking good care of her daughter can Yu Jie feel at ease."

Yang Ruiqi seemed to be very embarrassed, and paused for a long time before speaking again: "Xu Shi was drunk, and he actually told me that they became like this all because Yu Jie was unfaithful... He said, he said Yu Jie...the wedding night did not end Red... also said..."

Grandma Shi gritted her teeth in hatred, hammered on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "What else did that bastard say?"

Yang Ruiqi stroked his forehead with his hand, then looked at Shi Tuojin, who was bluish-faced: "Xiao Chi's biological mother just passed away before Yu Jie married him, Yu Jie went to take care of Tuo Jin for a month, because the siblings became close What's more, Yu Jie has always been concerned about her eldest brother in the past, he is a lonely man and a widow, so Jiang Zhen wonders if Yu Jie and Tuo Jin are... He also said that even others said that Qiao An didn't look like him, maybe it was not at all. It's not his own."

Grandpa Shi felt that it was really unbearable, so he brushed off the purple clay pot on the coffee table, and went back to the room without saying a word.

Jiang Qiao'an understood their feelings very well, even though it was the second time she had heard these remarks, even though she had confirmed that she had nothing to do with Shi Mochi, she still felt nauseated like swallowing a fly.She has never seen her mother, she doesn't know the cause and effect of that year, and she doesn't understand why her father made such remarks, but she only hopes to forget them as soon as possible and never mention them.

Even if she is like this, how can the elder who raised her mother and is extremely conservative can calm down when she hears her son and daughter being talked about like this?
"Shi Tuojin!" Grandma Shi asked each word clearly, "What did you do? Why did Jiang Zhen say such a thing?"

"He has no shame! I swear on my life, and Yu Jie and Yu Jie have always been innocent brothers and sisters."

"What's the use of your innocence! There is something heartless and nonsense, our daughter is so innocent, and she has to be charged with such a crime when she dies so early! What a fate!" Grandma Shi burst into tears, pointing Seeing Yang Ruiqi scolded, "It's a shame that you keep saying that you treat her as a younger sister, and when you hear Jiang Zhen say such words, you still slap him in the face! If you had told us earlier, the Shi family could have easily spared him? "

"I don't know if it's true or not. If it wasn't because of Qiao An and Xiao Chi, I would never have said it in my life. That's why I obstructed them in every possible way." Yang Ruiqi also cried, she didn't know Jiang Qiao Did An say anything else? Let’s just explain together, "I didn’t know that Qiao An had a child. If I knew, I would have done a DNA test in secret before deciding whether to say anything. I blame myself a lot these days. Fortunately, my grandson Still here, otherwise..."

Before Yang Ruiqi could finish her sentence, grandma trembled with anger, picked up a fruit plate and threw it at her: "How dare you talk about DNA testing! You are no better than that surnamed Jiang! He just made it up, You just follow the letter? You and Yu Jie’s classmates for so many years, and Tuo Jin’s husband and wife for more than [-] years, don’t even know their characters! Do you doubt them for no reason? You will believe this and doubt them. It's hateful that she even told her daughter to pour dirty water on her in front of her daughter! You can think of your friends and husband like this, and let Jiang Zhen arrange them like this, I don't think you have any good intentions! It's not a big deal Good man!"

Yang Ruiqi didn't expect that the dignified and gentle mother-in-law would be so enraged, and she didn't dodge. The fruit plate happened to hit her forehead, bounced to the ground, and immediately shattered, including the peach kernels and cashew nuts scattered all over the floor.

Seeing his wife covering her forehead with her hands in a panic, and blood gradually oozing from between her fingers, Shi Tuojin couldn't bear it for a while, and was about to go to help her, but saw Grandma Shi's right hand covering her heart, slipping slowly Going down, he was so shocked that he no longer cared about Yang Ruiqi, and while helping his mother to lie down first, he told Jiang Qiaoan to call the doctor and call the emergency immediately.

Grandpa Shi rushed out when he heard the commotion. Although there was a doctor at home, everyone was inevitably in a hurry, but Yang Ruiqi sat still.

After all, we have been together for a long time, Aunt Sun saw that she couldn't get her hands in, so she came over to check her injury with a medicine box: "Ah, you have bled so much, you have to go to the hospital to stitch up the wound immediately, let me stop the bleeding for you first."

But Yang Ruiqi didn't appreciate it, opened her hand, and sneered to herself: "They are a family, no matter how nice I am to them, what use is it, have you seen it? My daughter is shameless and my daughter is contemptuous, but instead Scold me for not believing it."

Yang Ruiqi's voice was not loud, and only Aunt Sun could hear her. She was startled, looked around, and quickly interrupted: "I know you are wronged, but no matter how wronged you are, you can't say it. Sir, you must listen to me." will blame you..."

She just felt disheartened: "I've already started scolding me, how can I blame it? In the worst case, I'll leave and move a place for Jiang Qiaoan."

Aunt Sun only had a half-knowledge, so she said in relief: "Where did you say that? I don't think that child is a bad person. He is probably still angry that you didn't agree with them at that time. Just wait until you understand that you are for them." This is to turn my anger on you in a hurry. The husband treats you well, the old lady and the old man love you, Xiao Chi is filial, and he will have a grandson in the future. How happy life is, this is your own home, where are you going!"

"Is that my grandson? That's Shi Yujie's grandson!" After hearing the last sentence, Yang Ruiqi gradually recovered, "Yes, this is my home, why should I leave, why should I let outsiders see the joke! "

When Shi Mochi rushed to the hospital, Grandma Shi's condition was stable. He looked at grandma through the window, took off his coat and put it on Jiang Qiaoan, and turned to go to the ward on the other side.

Yang Ruiqi finally followed after she figured it out, Shi Tuojin arranged for her parents and went to ask her something.Seeing that his mother's wound had been bandaged, Shi Mochi was sobbing and talking to his father while infusing fluids, so he withdrew temporarily and went to the doctor to ask about the situation.

"What's the matter? This is, I have only been away for a few hours, and the house is in such a mess?" After returning from the doctor, Shi Mochi sat beside Jiang Qiaoan.

Jiang Qiaoan was also getting irritable. She knew that Shi Mochi must have understood the outline of the matter, so she replied angrily: "Ask knowingly!"

Before Mo Chi could speak again, she said in a very low voice: "Mo Chi, I'm sorry, your mother told your father what she said to you. I was really angry when your father came to ask me. I heard him say My father is not good, so I couldn't hold it back for a while. I didn't know it would become like this."

Shi Mochi's tone was slightly reproachful: "I knew it would happen, so I didn't let you tell them. There are six members of the family, three are injured, and one is pregnant. My grandfather is also annoyed, and he can't even take care of him."

"You mean it's all my fault for becoming like this?" Hearing this, Jiang Qiaoan took off Shi Mochi's coat and threw it back, "You said you wouldn't let me mention it again, but you also said several times that we would meet together Talk to your mother, and she will ask clearly! But what? I didn’t want to cause trouble for you, so I didn’t ask why you wanted to fool me like this. Do I know that your father also misunderstood me, so I can’t explain it for myself? Besides, there are my mother and you If I don't talk about my father's relationship, I will have a grudge every time I think of my mother in my life."

"That's not what I meant." Shi Mochi wrapped her coat again, pinched her face and smiled, "I apologized just now, but now I'm angry again. Is this what the doctor said pregnant women would be moody?"

"Qiao'an, you are such a calm person. If you didn't deliberately tell my father this, the words 'I couldn't hold it back for a while' wouldn't have happened to you. I don't blame you at all, this matter I am responsible for making such a mess. I did not deal with it in time. But still, I hope that no matter what happens, you can tell me as soon as possible and let me solve it for you. I want to be trusted by you, and I want to be your rely on."

Knowing each other too well, Jiang Qiaoan didn't hide it from Shi Mochi: "I'm afraid if I tell you, you will not allow me to tell your father in order to protect your mother."

"How come, you don't believe me so much?"

"I did it on purpose. Grandpa, grandma and your father couldn't think of it. Don't you think your mother is strange?"

"What's strange, she doesn't want us to be together because she is afraid that there is such a one-in-a-million possibility. You should understand by looking at the current situation. Such a thing can't be easily said, so she would rather do everything possible to make us break up, my mother Also save the reputation of your mother and my father."

Jiang Qiaoan lowered his eyes and smiled: "So emotional intimacy will influence reason and judgment. Otherwise, how could you be so smart? If your mother is like you, she doesn't believe what's wrong with your father and my mother." Son, she wouldn't worry about it at all, and she wouldn't do everything possible to separate us. If she believed it, how could she be willing to marry a person who had an affair with her sister who was about to marry just after his wife passed away? Do you treat this person with respect? You must know that even if it is only a 'possibility', this kind of thing may be very, very embarrassing to outsiders."

"Things that sound reasonable to the ears are not necessarily true when you think about them with your brain. Only those that can stand scrutiny and have no loopholes are worthy of being called 'truth'."

Seeing Mo Chi fell into silence, Jiang Qiaoan leaned towards him gently: "My parents are gone, only Yang Ruiqi knows the reason, I don't want to waste time listening to her make up reasons, it's not too bad for my parents." It means a lot. Frankly speaking, after going through so much, I can no longer think of her as my mother. But I am selfish, I want you, my family, my children, and I want the peace and happiness I have now for a long time , so don't worry, I won't bring up my doubts about your mother in the future, and I will always pretend to be stupid and live in peace with her. Anyway, it is enough for her to experience the uneasiness of this period and the loss of face today. "

Shi Mochi didn't speak any more, just lowered his head and kissed her brow.

When Shi Tuojin came out of Yang Ruiqi's ward, his face was not looking good. When he saw Shi Mochi, he casually ordered: "Your grandparents didn't have a good dinner, and neither did your wife. Go and arrange it."

Seeing Shi Mochi turning the phone, Shi Tuojin frowned again and taught him a lesson: "You are so lazy, you have to find a secretary to get some food for the elders at home, won't you go by yourself?"

Shi Mochi curled his lips secretly, but he dared not speak out, and immediately stood up to do so. Jiang Qiaoan finally knew why he hated seeing his father, so he suppressed a smile and secretly sent a text message——Your grandfather scolded your father for being unkind to you Dad scolds you in a style, probably because he got angry with your grandfather so he has to find some balance on you. If you dare to scold my son like this for no reason in the future, I will definitely kick you out.

Mo Chi came back within ten seconds—then what should I do, who should I vent my anger on?
"What laughing?"

Seeing Shi Tuojin sitting next to him, Jiang Qiaoan quickly suppressed his smile: "Uncle, what's the matter?"

"I took Shi Mochi away to tell you about your mother."

Normally, Shi Tuojin was unaware that Shi Tuojin was a patient, but when he got closer, Jiang Qiaoan realized that he was indeed looking haggard, and he inevitably blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I caused such a mess at home and caused grandma to go to the hospital. "

"I don't blame you. I got so mad that I forgot to tell them not to tell the old man."

Shi Tuojin was used to being serious, and he thought it was inappropriate to talk about feelings with juniors, but also felt that he had to speak clearly, so he pondered for a long time before saying: "Your mother is a very reserved and self-loving girl, don't listen to your father's nonsense, Absolutely nothing! As for liking... I, she was still young at the time, and no one would take it seriously when I was fooling around. Shi Mochi had a cousin who also clamored to like him every day. In fact, she was too young and had never seen him before. It's only a few boys who say stupid things, but when they grow up, they will meet the person they like. In fact, the biggest mistake in her life is marrying the wrong person."

Seeing that Jiang Qiaoan's expression changed slightly, he smiled again: "Why, listen to me saying that your father is not happy?"

"I've been listening to it all night no matter how unhappy I am." Jiang Qiao'an smiled helplessly, "I couldn't think of anything good about him when he was still around, but I can't remember why I blamed him when I was a child when he was gone. It's harsh for you to scold him."

"I just criticized your Aunt Yang severely. She told you that those things are really wrong. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly. But if you ask your grandparents carefully, don't talk about it. Their age When I grow up, I will be more angry when I hear what I like or not, and anger hurts my body."

Regarding Yang Ruiqi's explanation of other matters, Tuojin didn't mention Jiang Qiaoan, so he stopped asking, and just nodded in agreement: "I see."

Shi Tuojin chatted with her a few more times before getting up to see his mother.

To be on the safe side, grandma stayed in the hospital for three full days before going back, and no one mentioned this matter at home.Yang Ruiqi is still busy with various family chores all day long, but she is obviously estranged from her grandparents a lot. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always different from that of mother-daughter.

Unable to get along with her daughter-in-law, the old lady naturally had the idea of ​​going home. Seeing that Jiang Qiaoan was recovering well, she insisted on taking her by her side to take care of her personally.

Although Shi Mochi wanted to go back to his apartment alone with Jiang Qiaoan, but his father had no choice but to go back with his grandparents, so he had to agree for the convenience of taking care of him.

Yang Ruiqi said that she couldn't leave for the time being, and she didn't plan to leave with everyone.

The night before his departure, Jiang Qiaoan was packing his luggage, when he heard a knock on the door and said "Come in", he saw Yang Ruiqi pushing the door and walking in with a box in his arms.

"Not finished yet? Let Xiao Chi clean up, don't get tired." Yang Ruiqi sat on the sofa beside the bed.

Jiang Qiaoan put down the clothes in his hands: "How could he do these things, what do you need from me?"

"Can't I come over to chat with you if I have nothing to do?" Yang Ruiqi's tone was as friendly as ever, "Xiao Chi's ability to do housework is poor, so his father always said that I was too spoiled for him."

Jiang Qiaoan didn't know what to answer, so he just smiled.

"Grandma Xiaochi asked me to make a dowry for you. In addition to the ones given by my family, I prepared an extra one for you. It is worthwhile for you to call me mother for so many years." She opened the velvet jewelry box in her hand and pushed it into the In front of Jiang Qiaoan.

Seeing a box full of all kinds of precious and semi-precious stones, Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help being stunned: "It's so precious, I can't accept it."

"If you don't know how to see these red, green and green stones, you can think they are precious treasures. It's not that you don't recognize them. They are just some worthless semi-precious stones and small gemstones of average color. I gave all the materials that I have collected for half a lifetime. You want to cheer you up. I have already greeted people. If there is no major problem, you should have a place for the competition. However, you still need to apply online as soon as possible. There are only three days before the deadline. This competition has only been held for two years Once, it’s a rare opportunity, even if you don’t get the big prize, returning with the best idea can still make your career a big step forward.”

Most of the designers choose relatively cheap semi-precious stones to be inlaid on the works participating in the competition, but even if they are just some cat's eyes, tourmalines, tanzanites, aquamarines, and grape stones, such a large box is full of value. It was expensive, so Jiang Qiaoan naturally refused to accept it: "You keep it, I don't need so much."

Yang Ruiqi didn't continue this topic, and only asked: "Are you still blaming me? There is no point in talking about the previous things. Knowing that the baby is almost gone, I have always blamed myself. Seeing that you are always indifferent to me, My heart is even more sad. We are a family, you have called me mother for so many years, I will not treat you as just a daughter-in-law...Forget it, you can get on with it, I will not be annoying here anymore, the days to come will be long He is not an outsider, so there is no need to waste time talking about it."

"Thank you for the recommended things." Jiang Qiaoan got up to see her off.

After all, it is the elders. The gauze on Yang Ruiqi's forehead and the deliberately flattering smile on her face made Jiang Qiaoan feel soft, but it was only a moment. Her feelings for Yang Ruiqi over the years are not so much real love as fantasy. expectations.

The vague memory of getting along with Yang Ruiqi when I was a child is constantly magnified in the long-term expectation of my mother. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Qiaoan will be so sad and desperate when he knows that she does not want him to be close. It's too silly, but those real injuries and four years of loneliness can't be healed by just a few words and a recommendation.

Besides, as transparent as Jiang Qiao'an, how could he not understand that Yang Ruiqi's flattery is largely not due to the self-blame and pity she said, but only for her own status in the Shi family.

After this incident happened, Shi Tuojin's attitude towards Yang Ruiqi was obviously a lot colder. Of course, grandparents needless to say, Shi Mochi was the only one who treated her as before at home.

Grandparents are old and usually not in the same city. Even if the relationship is distant, there is not much loss, but the husband and son are different.After all, Yang Ruiqi and Shi Mochi have no blood relationship. If she loses the respect of her husband, if she can't get along with her daughter-in-law, her position in the family will be in jeopardy.

After thinking about this, Jiang Qiaoan covered the wooden box Yang Ruiqi sent and pushed it aside.

Shi Xiaxing accidentally learned that her grandma was hospitalized, so she brought her fiancé and her parents over to visit overnight. Shi Tuoxian and his family just rushed over, so naturally there was no reason to go back immediately, so the grandparents' return plan was postponed for two days.

All of a sudden, there were four more people, and there were not enough rooms. Shi Mochi finally got his wish and took Jiang Qiaoan back to his apartment temporarily. It's just that he was usually busy, so he finally got together, and he always had to go back for lunch and dinner. home to eat.

Shi Xia Xing's fiancé was Mu Yan's first cousin Mu Cheng, and Jiang Qiao'an and Mu Cheng also knew each other, one was a pregnant woman and the other was a guest, when everyone was busy for lunch, the two who couldn't intervene chatted for a while, The narrow-minded Shi Mo Chi caught a glimpse, and immediately found an excuse to pull her aside.

"What do you want to show me?" Jiang Qiaoan didn't know why.

"Nothing." Shi Mo Chi snorted coldly with disdain, "What is the most handsome, why don't I think he is so good-looking."

Jiang Qiao'an chuckled: "You're not a woman, so it's strange that you think Mu Cheng is handsome. Who says he's the most handsome, is it your two younger sisters?"

"Isn't it you!" Seeing her confused face, Shi Mochi continued to remind, "When I was studying, I said that the most handsome man I've ever seen is Mu Cheng."

Jiang Qiaoan couldn't remember when he had discussed this with him at all, and was about to laugh at him for being stingy when he heard Shi Tuojin call himself and Shi Mo to go over.

Tuoxian was there when they saw each other, and they said hello to their second uncle before sitting down.

"Fortunately, your second uncle came and didn't make it today." Shi Tuojin handed Jiang Qiao'an a key, "I just received a call that the old house your mother used to live in is going to be demolished, so Shi Mochi will take you to see it." Look, and pick up the old things by the way."

"My mother's old house?"

"It was a one-bedroom apartment that was assigned to me when I was just working. Later, I transferred to another place and the original unit did not take it back. Your mother came to study here, so I lived in it for her. When you were just born, your father and her always quarreled, and she always I was angry and ran away from home and went back there. The last phone call before the accident was also made from there. I went there once when she just left. I wanted to move things out, but I couldn't bear to touch them for a while, so I just left them as they were. Ask the secretary to clean it every few years, and take some time to pick up some important things and move them back as soon as possible these two days, and quietly don’t let your grandparents know.” After this sentence, Shi Tuojin said to his son, “The compensation for the demolition It's up to you to do it."
