Chapter 50 It was the first time after the rain and we slept in the same room. It was not surprising that something happened...

Chen Cheng suddenly became anxious and looked at Song Jili helplessly.

"It's okay, go inside first." Song Jili put his arms around Chen Cheng's shoulders, patted him a few times, and comforted him softly.

Lin Fangxian threw her handbag on the cabinet in the entrance hall with great dignity, rolled up her sleeves, and was grabbed by Song Jili before turning around to leave.

"Mom, you go in too." Song Jili pulled Lin Fangxian to Chen Cheng's side.

Lin Fangxian pushed away, sulking her face and speaking in a low voice, "I want to see which family is so tactless that they rush to show their courtesy to my sick daughter."

Chen Cheng became even more panicked.

Would it be too offensive to the other party?

"Don't worry, Mom knows her limits." Lin Fangxian comforted Chen Cheng in a low voice.

Song Jili: "I'll take care of it. Mom, you and Chengzi go into the house first."

After all, Lin Fangxian didn't know the specific situation and didn't understand Chen Cheng's concerns. She was also worried that although she had good intentions, some unintentional actions might have indirectly hurt Chen Cheng.

"You go in first."

No one knew where Lin Fangxian got the strength from, but she pushed the young couple into the living room with one hand and closed the door.

Chen Cheng pulled Song Jili's sleeve and gestured, "Is anything going to happen? I'm afraid Mom will be embarrassed."

She can tell who treats her well. At this moment, she is most worried about Lin Fangxian. She is said to be the most spoiled little girl in the family. She has been pampered since she was a child. She is gentle and kind, and has never suffered. The Lin family has a high status in Hong Kong, and no one dares to show disrespect to the daughter of a rich family. Subconsciously, she feels that Lin Fangxian should not go to any occasion where there is a dispute.

Not to mention Chen Cheng, even Song Jili was a little confused about the current situation.

But fortunately, he was aware of his mother's strength, and this little situation was not a problem for her.

"It's okay. If you're worried..." Song Jili had an idea. He took Chen Cheng to the back of the monitor and turned on the camera at the door. "Let's watch it here."

Chen Cheng felt like he was being spied on, so he hid to the side.

"What's wrong with watching the video at your own door? Isn't it unreasonable?" Song Jili put his hands on Chen Cheng's shoulders, "You still have to keep an eye on it. What if something unexpected happens?"

Chen Cheng thought it made sense and stepped forward.

Lin Fangxian came out of the hallway leading to the small living room outside her house in a calm and relaxed manner, and said to her assistant in a pretentious manner, "Who is it? It's so annoying. Which family in Jiangdu has the surname Cheng? I do know Director Cheng of the Municipal Hospital, but he is not the type to bother people at their homes."

Cheng Hezhu's face was dry and her smile was a little forced.

"Madam, you are the fourth wife of the Liao family." The assistant cooperated and reported her identity.

"The Liao family?" Lin Fangxian deliberately prolonged her tone. "There is no cooperation between our family and theirs, let alone personal relationship. After all, the Liao family only became rich during the time of the old man. To me, it's quite rude. We only cooperated twice in the early years, and the last time, he even came to my house and treated Ah Quan as a brother."

"If you ask me, the Song family is not arrogant. They are open to anyone who wants to claim kinship with them. We don't know if others want to gain status from the Song family, which has been around for hundreds of years. Our Lin family is different. The threshold is high. We are not from the same class. Who wants to be brothers with you? Well, if you ask me, only Ah Quan has a good temper and is willing to give others some face."

Song Jili in the room wanted to laugh after hearing this.

Chen Cheng misunderstood and comforted him: Mom was just saying that for show, don't take it to heart.

"Don't worry, these are all what mom really thinks." Song Jili chuckled.

When he starts scolding, he won't let anyone go, and he will scold them whenever he gets the chance.

Lin Fangxian was still talking outside: "If the door was not open, I would not care if it was the Liao family or the Cheng family. Even if my in-laws, the Liang family and the Shen family, came, I would still close the door and not see any guests. Our Xiaocheng is still sick. What if he comes into the house with a cold body and gets cold?"

The assistant heard the implication of Lin Fangxian's words, and held her breath, pretending to be very flattering and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, ma'am, you are right, you are the only one who is thoughtful."

"Yes, without me this family will fall apart." Lin Fangxian snorted arrogantly.

The assistant clenched his fists to his mouth and almost burst out laughing.

Lin Fangxian gave several warning glances.

After saying these sarcastic words, Lin Fangxian leisurely walked out of the small living room. She looked Cheng Hezhu up and down without saying a word.

The other party is the host, and as a guest who comes to visit on her own initiative, Cheng Hezhu of course has to introduce herself.

"Hello, Mrs. Song. My last name is Cheng. I heard that Miss Chen Cheng was ill, so I came here to see her." Cheng Hezhu handed over the fruit basket and flowers in her hand.

Lin Fangxian stopped the assistant who was about to take the gift, folded her arms, and asked, "What is your relationship with Xiaocheng?"

"I am Miss Chen Cheng's client in the gallery." Cheng Hezhu replied.

Lin Fangxian asked her assistant, "Do customers maintain their own relationships these days? Are they afraid that others won't buy from them?"

"Maybe...it's the nature of the industry."

The assistant gritted his teeth and sang along with Lin Fangxian.

"Why did you come when no other customers came?" Lin Fangxian pointed at the gift in Cheng Hezhu's hand, "We won't talk about business during the break. Take the gift back with you, and then look for Xiaocheng when she returns to the gallery."

Cheng Hezhu took a few steps forward anxiously: "Mrs. Song, I'll just meet you once and then I'll leave."

"Don't come too close suddenly, it's scary." Lin Fangxian took a step back. "If you ask Xiaocheng about work now, she won't be able to handle it, so there's no need. Or is it that Mrs. Liao is here for something else?"

Cheng Hezhu tightly held the fruit basket and looked at the woman in front of her with a gentle smile in her eyes. She felt the power of her rhetoric. The title of "Mrs. Liao" was a subtle reminder of her party.

"At the banquet...we were inconsiderate and offended Miss Chen Cheng." Cheng Hezhu knew she shouldn't respond, but if she denied it, she didn't know what else was waiting for her.

Lin Fangxian nodded: "Yes, I have never attended such a low-class banquet. They invited guests but did not consider them carefully. Then why did they invite others to the banquet? Are they just to flatter the host of the banquet? That's really too vain. We are a small family and cannot be accepted by the noble halls."

The assistant's eyes widened and he silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, we still have to look to the battle-hardened Lin Fangxian.

Cheng Hezhu wanted to refute and defend her daughter. If she really did so, it would be tantamount to admitting the facts, but if she did not explain, she would confirm Lin Fangxian's words.

"Mrs. Liao is also a respectable person, and respectable people should do respectable things."

Lin Fangxian put away her teasing and said seriously, "A few days ago, you Liao family didn't send anyone to explain the matter. I don't think you care much about our friendship. Today, you came to my house but didn't tell me your purpose directly. You kept talking in circles and acted like I was trying to stop you from expressing your true feelings. I really don't know what to say."

"You'd better stay away from our Xiaocheng in the future. She can't bear your affection."

Cheng Hezhu still said the same thing: "Mrs. Song, this is a matter between Miss Chen Cheng and me. Aren't you interfering too much?"

As if she had regained some of her aura, Cheng Hezhu straightened her back a little after saying this.

"You are kidding me. What do you mean I interfere? Xiaocheng is my daughter and my daughter-in-law. Without her permission, would I be standing here?" Lin Fangxian sneered softly, "We can't afford your business. You'd better not come to Xiaocheng anymore in the future."

After Lin Fangxian finished speaking, she turned and went into the house, muttering to herself, "What kind of people are these? What kind of character are they? I can't understand their bad words, can I?"

The assistant trotted after her and said flatteringly, "Madam, please calm down and don't say anything that would damage your image."

Lin Fangxian raised her voice: "I told you, my daughter is being bullied by other girls, and I can't just stand up and say something!"

Cheng Hezhu wanted to chase after her, but after hearing Lin Fangxian's last words, she stopped and didn't have the courage to continue following.

She stood there for a while, and finally left sadly.

Lin Fangxian entered the house, glared at Song Jili first, then went to the island angrily to get some water to drink.

Chen Cheng asked timidly: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"I can tell from the scolding that she took it to heart and got really angry." Song Jili knew his mother well. She would often scold him and get into his mother's emotions, and then she would get really angry.

Chen Cheng found it quite unbelievable, but that was not the point. She was very grateful to Lin Fangxian for standing up and supporting her.

"Oh! I'm so angry." Lin Fangxian finished half a bottle of water and took a few deep breaths. She was completely different from the dignified and noble rich lady she usually was.

Lin Fangxian was still complaining: "The last time I got this angry was when I was arguing with the Liang family's father-in-law."

Chen Cheng smiled and asked: Mom, why did you quarrel with Uncle Liang?

"He is pedantic and feudal. He thought that after Ah Ling got married, she would quit her job in the opera troupe and go home to take care of her husband and children. Ah Ling, you know, is obedient to her family and a good girl, so she dare not contradict her elders. I am different. If there is something I don't like, I will definitely say a few words." Lin Fangxian said, "It is still unknown whether Qiao Li will be the head of our family. If one day neither of them can inherit the family business, they will definitely be driven out of the Song family. It is difficult to find a job these days, and it is even more difficult to start a business. They brothers will be unemployed vagrants and may need their wives to support them. So it is not reliable to take care of their husbands and children."

After listening to Lin Fangxian's long explanation, Chen Cheng felt that a new way of thinking had been opened up, and he couldn't help but admire and love Lin Fangxian.

Song Jili covered Chen Cheng's eyes with his hand: "Stop, don't learn bad things."

"What's wrong? Didn't you learn all these skills from me?"

Lin Fangxian pushed Song Jili away, took Chen Cheng's hand, and helped her sit down at the dining table.

"I made a chicken soup. It's fresh and not greasy. Just drink some." Lin Fangxian took off Chen Cheng's mask. "Don't wear a mask at home. It's uncomfortable to wear this thing. Don't worry, you can't infect me. I'm in good health."

Lin Fangxian pinched Chen Cheng's face with satisfaction.

Don't be fooled by the girl's thinness. Her cheeks are soft and tender, as if they were still baby fat. I couldn't help myself before I did it.

Chen Cheng held Lin Fangxian's hand and leaned against her intimately.

The assistant served the chicken soup and placed it in front of Chen Cheng. She took a sip, nodded, and gave Lin Fangxian a thumbs up.

Song Jili made room for the two of them and returned to the study to deal with work news.

I thought there was a problem with the project, which was why the messages kept popping up. After a quick look, I found that it was my father who was bombarding me with messages.

I knew what it was about before I even opened it.

He had no intention of dealing with it. He couldn't outsmart the old man, so he left it to his mother to solve it herself and he would not get involved.

In the evening, Lin Fangxian and Song Quan talked on the phone for half an hour. No one knew what they talked about, but they stayed there smoothly.

At first, Song Jili was a little unhappy, as he felt that after Lin Fangxian came, half of Chen Cheng's time was taken up. But when he saw the smile that came from the heart on Chen Cheng's face, he thought it was not bad to live together occasionally.

Chen Cheng is almost recovered from his illness. He has to accompany Lin Fangxian to look at jewelry tomorrow. Before going to bed, he was in the cloakroom matching clothes for tomorrow.

Song Jili stood at the door with his hands folded, and said sourly: "Chengzi, you and I are not so attentive when we go out."

Chen Cheng's smile disappeared, he looked back and continued to choose clothes with great concentration.

Song Jili lay down first, reading a book while waiting for her.

Chen Cheng hung the selected clothes next to the floor-length mirror and returned to the bed.

Like a little kitten, it crawled in through a small gap, revealing a head with messy hair and hazy eyes.

Song Jili reached out and pinched her cheek.

Chen Cheng dodged, covered her hands, and accused him: Why do you and mom keep pinching here? It's going to get swollen.

Song Jili watched intently.

She seemed unaware that her cheeks were cute. When she smiled, she looked not only pear-shaped but also full of milk fat.

She doesn't look like a child at all. She has a round oval face, cute light brown round eyes, a small and slightly upturned nose, and plump but small lips. She looks innocently aged and has a look that makes people's hearts melt.

Chen Cheng felt that there was something wrong with his gaze, so she slowly turned around, lay down with her back to him, and took out her cell phone to check messages.

Warm breath fell from ears to collarbone, and body temperature began to soar.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything." Song Jili said something that made her feel even more uneasy.

Chen Cheng lay flat on his back with his hands on his chest: I can’t do anything, my mother is still here.

"Baby, the soundproofing is good." Song Jili said in her ear mischievously, "We both sleep in the same room, so no matter what happens, Mom won't find it strange."

Chen Cheng shook his head.

"Then kiss for a while?" Song Jili leaned down and kissed the sweet pear vortex.

Chen Cheng shrank his neck and used sign language: I have something serious to tell you.

Song Jili had no choice but to let her go: "Go ahead and listen."

Chen Cheng asked worriedly: The words that my mother said to Ms. Cheng the day before yesterday, won’t be spread out? They shouldn’t dare to talk about my mother casually, right?

"Aren't you worried about Cheng Hezhu?" Song Jili lay down and held her in his arms.

Chen Cheng struggled to turn sideways to face him and used sign language: I'm worried. I'm worried that she will go out and say bad things about Mom.

Song Jili smiled.

Chen Cheng pushed him: What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?

"Yes, you are very good." Song Jili's fingertips stroked her lower abdomen and rubbed it tenderly several times.

She was the softest-hearted and most beautiful girl he had ever met.

After recovering from the illness, Chen Cheng freed his mind to worry about other things and asked: "I heard Qiao Yu tell me that Jiangdu's upper class is talking about me. You didn't really do anything to them, did you?"

"What? Stop cooperation and hand over the business to their rivals? Something like that?" Song Jili laughed, "It's reasonable and legal, what's wrong with it? Is it targeted?"

Every word of his rhetorical question made sense, and Chen Cheng nodded in agreement.

"I feel unhappy when they say something bad about you." In Song Jili's opinion, Chen Cheng is good in every way and won't tolerate outsiders saying anything bad about him.

Chen Cheng threw Song Jili into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Song Jili fell onto the soft bed unexpectedly, and he didn't know where he learned it from, but he hung on her.

"If you don't get enough sleep, we'll do something else."

Chen Cheng quickly returned to her seat and pulled the quilt tightly: Not today, I'm so tired.

Having just recovered from a serious illness, he still had some humanity left and would not really make her unable to get out of bed.

Song Jili turned off the light: "I'm asleep."

Chen Cheng pretended to sleep for a few minutes, quietly took out his cell phone from under the pillow, and logged into WeChat.

In the small group, late at night is the most active period, and several people are chatting about everything.

Qiao Qiaoyu hangs out in various celebrity groups in Jiangdu and has sent many screenshots.

People outside are still talking about what happened at the dinner party during their free time.

Qiao Qiaoyu: [Look at my temper. I really want to confront this idiot. What do you mean by "No wonder the Song family doesn't let Chen Cheng go out? He can talk but he's really not suitable to go out. He's an unlucky guy."]

Liang Yanling was full of resentment, and cursed more excitedly than Qiao Qiaoyu: [Idiot, which family raised this idiot? Remember, I will not cooperate with his business in the future. The family that raised this idiot must have very poor work ability. ]

Qiao Qiaoyu: [My impression of the Liao family is terrible. I thought they were truly supporting our Chengcheng.]

Chen Cheng was just about to comfort them when he saw a friend request pop up.

The note added reads: "It's me, Liao Zhidai, can we chat?"

There was nothing much to talk about between them, so Chen Cheng ignored the friend request.

A new note popped up: "I apologize to you for the dinner. Can you please ask the Shen family to stop targeting us?"

Shen family?

What does it have to do with the Shen family?

Chen Cheng and the Shen family in Beijing North would send messages to each other except during festivals, and there was no communication at other times. Since the third family all lived in Jiangdu, the communication was a little more frequent. The day after she heard that she was sick, the third sister-in-law brought Shen Bingwei to visit her.

Chen Cheng poked Song Jili beside him.

Song Jili turned around and said venomously, "Have you thought about it? What are you going to do?"

Chen Cheng patted his shoulder, turned on the flashlight on his cell phone, and shone it at the ceiling. The room became brighter and he could see her movements.

She said: Let me tell you something serious.

"Hmm?" Song Jili half-closed his eyes and lay there lazily.

Chen Cheng asked: What did the Shen family do? Why did Liao Zhidai tell me that the Shen family was targeting them?

Song Jili laughed: "I really don't know what the Shen family did, but it's not hard to guess. They made you embarrassed at the banquet, and the Shen family must be unhappy. It's normal to cause trouble for them."

Chen Cheng: I thought the Shen family wouldn’t care about these things.

"You also said that the Shen family has fierce internal strife, but they treat you well." Song Jili didn't want to over-analyze it. The Shen and Song families are related by marriage, so their attitude towards the outside world must be consistent.

But she'd better not know the inside story that involves interests.

Chen Cheng smiled, and suddenly everything became clear.

The next second, her chin was suddenly pinched, followed by a deep kiss that almost took away all her breath.

She fell into the soft quilt, and he leaned over, pried open her teeth, and swept out the honey inside.

It was so intense right from the start that Chen Cheng was stunned and forgot what to do next.

Song Jili let her go, unbuttoned her pajamas slowly, and said with a sly smile, "You can push me away anytime."

Emphasize it again.

"Anytime."

Chen Cheng was confused and didn't know what to do.

The next morning, I slept until 11 o'clock in the morning.

Chen Cheng sat up, remembered his appointment with Lin Fangxian to go shopping, and ran out of the room barefoot.

When she went to the living room, she was startled by several large black cameras.

It's nothing.

Surprisingly,

The whole family is here, and the atmosphere is good, very...harmonious?
