The woman with premature gray hair had a pair of bright eyes as gentle as water. The corners of her eyes were covered with fine lines, but it did not diminish her beauty at all.

She clung to the back of a chair, trying to keep herself from falling to the ground.

Just as Cheng Jingyuan was about to reach out to help, a dark shadow rushed over and supported Qin Yufen first.

"Yufen, if you were coming, why didn't you call me in advance so that I could prepare a car to pick you up? Your legs are not in good condition, so didn't I tell you to rest at home?" The man complained, but his eyes were full of heartache.

"Xianchen, I just rested for too long and wanted to go out for a walk. As I was walking, I came nearby and said I would come to see you on the way." Qin Yufen's voice was soft, with a soothing power.

Lin Xianchen's anxious and irritable heart calmed down instantly.

He couldn't bear to blame his wife, so he turned his eyes to Cheng Jingyuan, glared at him and said, "You are so tall for nothing, your legs are so long and you run so slowly, and you didn't even help your Aunt Fen when she was about to fall. You are useless!"

Cheng Jingyuan had long been accustomed to this kind of venting of anger, and he stood there rubbing his nose with amusement and took the scolding obediently.

When Qin Yufen saw Cheng Jingyuan being scolded, she quickly reached out and slapped Lin Xianchen twice. It sounded like a loud slap, but in fact the force was so small, like slapping dust, it didn't hurt at all.

"Xianchen, you are being unreasonable again. Jingyuan is a good boy. Don't take your anger out on him for no reason."

Lin Xianchen frowned and cried out in pain, "Yufen, you love him but I am the one who is in pain. It's not fair."

"I didn't use any strength at all. Don't shout. Be careful that the children will laugh at you. Really, you are already old, but you still don't know how to be mature." Qin Yufen rolled her eyes, which was a rare occasion.

Lin Xianchen helped the man sit on the chair, then pulled a chair and sat next to him. The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder, chairs next to each other.

He also aligned the chairs carefully, more accurately than with a ruler.

Cheng Jingyuan planned to slip away and retreated quietly.

Qin Yufen suddenly called him and waved him to come closer, "Jingyuan, who were you talking to on the phone just now? I said a lot of things but the other party didn't say a word. You seemed very nervous and you tripped over the phone line in your panic and hung up.

I called back, but the person didn't answer the phone.

Come here and talk to Aunt Fen about this before you leave."

Cheng Jingyuan glanced at Lin Xianchen.

Lin Xianchen gave him a calm look.

Cheng Jingyuan came over respectfully and made up an excuse: "It was the leader of the brigade where Qingyue went to the countryside who called and said that she performed very well over there and kept praising her."

Qin Yufen was a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, "This child, she was spoiled at home, and she has a bad temper. She was sent to such a far place to work in the countryside. I was worried that she would suffer. I always dreamed of her complaining to me at night.

I didn't expect that she would perform so well and be praised by everyone.

It seems that you have become more sensible." Qin Yufen said with a look of relief.

Cheng Jingyuan lowered his head and hummed.

Lin Xianchen frowned slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but when Qin Yufen looked over, he quickly concealed it.

"Xianchen, did you hear that? Our daughter has become successful. You used to complain about her bad temper, but now she looks less and less like a member of the Lin family.

When she was told that she was not worthy of the surname Lin, she would get angry and cry loudly, saying that she didn't like her father.

Now that she is doing so well, you can't look at her with the old eyes anymore. You should change your mind about her and take the initiative to call her to show your concern.

Lest she think that you still have a grudge against her, seeing you two, a father and daughter, quarreling, makes me feel bad too."

Lin Xianchen kept nodding, "Okay, okay, you have the final say in our family, I'll listen to you, I'll call her later, okay?"

Qin Yufen smiled and said happily, "That's right, a family should be harmonious and harmonious.

Okay, I won't disturb you from working any longer, I'll go back first."

Qin Yufen said this and was about to stand up.

Lin Xianchen immediately reached out and held her down, saying, "I have a meeting to attend. Why don't you wait for me here? We can go home together after get off work."

"No, I'm still cooking chicken soup on the stove. I have to go back quickly." Qin Yufen refused with a smile, "Besides, this is our office. It's not okay for me to come to you to talk about family matters. If I'm here, you definitely won't be in the mood for a meeting. That's not good."

"Then I'll send it first..."

"You go ahead with your meeting and just let Jingyuan send me off." Qin Yufen insisted.

Lin Xianchen had no choice but to agree with a smile.

After Cheng Jingyuan helped Qin Yufen leave, Lin Xianchen immediately called back.

The phone kept showing no one answering.

I don’t know if no one is there or they don’t want to answer the phone.

Lin Xianchen called several times but no one answered. The meeting time was almost up, so he wrote down the number and planned to call again when he was free.

When they were almost home, Qin Yufen suddenly turned around and asked Cheng Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, tell Aunt Fen, did Qingyue really not get into trouble?"

Cheng Jingyuan was stunned for only half a second before he reacted and immediately shook his head, "Really not, she performed really well over there, and everyone likes her."

Qin Yufen stared at Cheng Jingyuan seriously, "Jingyuan, you are a good child, but please don't lie to Aunt Fen."

Cheng Jingyuan kept shaking his head, keeping a very good expression on his face, "Aunt Fen, don't you know who I am?"

Qin Yufen finally felt relieved and walked into the house happily. Standing at the threshold, she suddenly turned around and called out to Cheng Jingyuan who was about to leave: "Jingyuan, the chicken soup should be almost done. Why don't you come in and have a bowl before you go back?"

"No, Aunt Fen, I have to go out on business to Xiaohuang Street." Cheng Jingyuan smiled and waved goodbye.

After returning to the car, he let out a long sigh. When he was holding the steering wheel and was about to drive back to the Ministry of Commerce, he noticed a head flashing in the rearview mirror. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Qin Yufen who was leaning against the door and peeking.

He immediately smiled helplessly, turned quickly, and headed towards Xiaohuang Street.

Qin Yufen found out that the car was not going directly back to the Ministry of Commerce, so she patted her chest and happily closed the gate.

Cheng Jingyuan drove the car to Xiaohuang Street, drove around for a while, got off the car and bought a pack of cigarettes, then headed back to the Ministry of Commerce.

Lin Xianchen had finished his meetings and was sitting behind his desk, writing furiously.

Hearing the footsteps, he said without raising his head, "Sit down for a while until I'm done."

Cheng Jingyuan sat down silently.

I sat there for almost an hour.

He waited until Lin Xianchen finished his work before he put the cap on his pen, stretched his sore arms and wrists, and walked over to sit next to Cheng Jingyuan with a smile.

"Jingyuan, tell me, what did Qingyue do outside?"
