Jiang Qi didn't quite understand.

Gu Jingcheng scratched his hair lightly, avoiding Jiang Qi's gaze and replied casually: "I have always been like this."

"Really...?!" Jiang Qi's voice trembled.

"What are you two doing here instead of going home?" Gu Jingcheng changed the subject very abruptly.

Jiang Qi didn't want to delve into it, so she followed his words and answered: "Luo Chun was a little carsick just now, so we got off here. Sit here and rest for a while."

"Are you carsick?" Gu Jingcheng then looked at Ming Luochun beside him.

But Ming Luochun ignored him, didn't say hello, and didn't even look at Gu Jingcheng.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Gu Jingcheng didn't rush to get close to her. He turned to Jiang Qi and asked, "Can we leave now?"

Jiang Qi took a step back and looked at him, crossing her arms and said, "It's not like I'm carsick."

Although she didn't know what the two of them were up to, she had no choice but to stand on Ming Luochun's side. But she still winked at him to communicate with Ming Luochun and show him a good attitude.

"Okay, I'll go first. You two take your time." Gu Jingcheng acted as if he didn't understand and just followed Jiang Qi's words to say goodbye to the two of them. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Jiang Qi gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at Gu Jingcheng's back. Based on her understanding of Gu Jingcheng, she didn't believe that Gu Jingcheng didn't understand what she meant.

Gu Jingcheng walked to the car door and stopped, waiting for Jiang Qi to call him.

"Boss?" Song Lin, who was driving, looked at Gu Jingcheng, who was standing motionless outside the car, puzzledly, not understanding what he was going to do.

Gu Jingcheng didn't reply to him. He turned around and saw that no one was following him. He got into the car quickly and said to Song Lin in a deep voice, "Drive."

"What about Miss Jiang?" Song Lin asked in the direction of Jiang Qi.

"They were carsick and said they wanted to go back." Gu Jingcheng said in a bad tone.

Song Lin had followed Gu Jingcheng for so many years, and judging from the situation, he probably guessed that he and Jiang Qi were probably quarreling again. He started the car and left without asking any more questions.

Jiang Qi watched the car really leave, and was so angry that she laughed, cursing in a low voice: "Good job, you wait for me."

"Sister, have I made things difficult for you?" Ming Luochun's voice sounded guilty.

Jiang Qi had to suppress her emotions and comfort him, "No. Don't worry. How do you feel now?"

"much better."

"Then let's go too. I'm afraid my mom will be angry if we go back too late."

"it is good."

Jiang Qi and Ming Luochun really walked back to Jiang's house. Ming Luochun accompanied Jiang Qi on the way to chat about finance, economics, world trade development and planning. They talked happily. The journey didn't seem long, but they did get home late.

Jiang Qi stood outside the open door, looking hesitant and not daring to go in. At this time, the entire Jiang residence was brightly lit, but no sound could be heard from the house.

She could probably imagine what the scene was like inside, so she reached out and held Ming Luochun's arm, took a deep breath and said, "No matter what my mom does or says later, you must be on the same side with me."

"...Of course." Ming Luochun didn't quite understand what Jiang Qi was going to do, but he still agreed to her words.

Only after getting the other party's promise did Jiang Qi have the confidence to take that step and walk into her own home.

Bright warm lights filled every corner of the main hall of the Jiang family. When all the lights were turned on, even the warm light was bright enough to dazzle people. The furniture in the main hall was all made of ebony, and the color presented by the polishing was as deep as ink, which directly collided with the warm orange light.

Only Shi Jinhua was sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed, and there was no one else beside him. The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

A strong feeling of discomfort came over Jiang Qi, and the breath stopped in her stomach and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Her hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously, and even her legs felt a little weak.

Jiang Qi bit her lower lip with her teeth and exerted a lot of force. Using the pain to calm herself and adapt to the pressure, she smiled and shouted, "Mom, we're back!"

When she heard the voice, Jinhua opened her eyes and looked at the two people walking towards her, and replied lazily, "I'm back."

"Yes, mother-in-law." Ming Luochun stopped and responded when he was five steps away from Shi Jinhua.

Jiang Qi squatted down beside Shi Jinhua and asked obediently, "Why are you sitting here alone? Where are my dad and the others?"

"I asked your father to take A-Yue out for a walk."

"Oh." Jiang Qi nodded to show that she understood, and then asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten. Have you eaten?" Shi Jinhua asked Ming Luochun.

"not yet."

"Then go and eat, the dishes are on the table. I have something to say to Jiang Qi alone." Shi Jinhua's tone was still flat, but one could still tell that this was not a discussion, but a notification and an order.

Ming Luochun should have been obedient, but the agreement he had just made with Jiang Qi made him not respond according to Shi Jinhua's wishes. Instead, he looked at Jiang Qi and waited for her signal.

Jiang Qi also reacted immediately. She quickly stood up and took Ming Luochun's arm and said, "Mom, Luochun is not an outsider. There is nothing about me that he cannot hear. Just tell me directly."

Shi Jinhua was speechless for a moment and looked at the two of them with half-closed eyes. He saw that Ming Luochun was obviously looking at Jiang Qi in a daze, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

So he asked Jiang Qi, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Jiang Qi replied firmly without hesitation.

"Ha." Shi Jinhua smiled, "Okay, let's listen together. We have to follow anyway."

"Pack your things and go back." Shi Jinhua said directly to Jiang Qi.

"Back? Back where?" Jiang Qi was confused. She pulled Ming Luochun to stay here because she was afraid that even if Shi Jinhua scolded her, it wouldn't be too harsh and he was unlikely to beat her.

But she didn't expect Shi Jinhua would just tell her to get out!

"Go back to where you came from." Shi Jinhua's tone and expression were calm, but he didn't seem to be joking.

"Mom! I was wrong!" Jiang Qi suddenly shouted. Then she knelt down, hugged Shi Jinhua's legs, and buried her head between her knees.

Shi Jinhua was startled by the sudden action. She subconsciously tried to push him away, but her legs were held tightly.

"You...you..." Shi Jinhua was so angry that he felt both angry and amused when he saw Jiang Qi's current behavior.

I was angry at her for being so incompetent that she knelt down so easily.

It's just a joke. How old are you? How can you be frightened like this?

Ming Luochun was also startled. He reached out to help Jiang Qi, but he didn't know whether he should help her at this time, so he stopped there awkwardly.

"Mom, please don't chase me away, okay?" Jiang Qi's muffled voice came out from between Shi Jinhua's knees, and she looked like she was about to cry and looked very aggrieved.

Jiang Qi was really about to cry. It wasn't an act, nor was it because she was scared. It was completely because she was in pain.

The human-computer system in her mind kept sounding the plot deviation prompt sound after hearing Shi Jinhua tell her to "go back to where you came from".

"Get up first! What's wrong with you?" Shi Jinhua shouted harshly, and at the same time pulled his legs to get him out of the way, but the other party held on tightly.

"I won't! Unless you don't chase me away." Jiang Qizhen held on to Shi Jinhua like a life-saving straw. If her mother didn't let go, her brain would explode!
