Chapter 418 Dad Forgot About Us
Chi Qian was amused by her behavior.
"Aren't you going down to greet them?" Jiang Ruan felt she was in danger. "Your friends should be here by now."
“It’s just you.” Chi Qian said naturally.
Jiang Ruan didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
“Those are all superficial relationships.” Chi Qian said calmly, as if it were a very ordinary thing to her. “If we run into each other later, just say we were busy, and no one will investigate.”
Jiang Ruan thought about the information she had gathered.
Indeed, no one had an extremely close relationship with Chi Qian.
That being said.
Chi Qian chatted with her for a while longer before going downstairs.
Today she is the main character. Besides her own family, most of the people here are Chi Qian's friends and people she has worked with before. It is more appropriate to call it a huge gathering than a dinner party.
As soon as she left, Jiang Ruan found a place to sit down and rest.
She hasn't had a moment's rest since returning from Jingzhou, and now that she has some free time, Huo Zhizhou's thoughts have involuntarily popped into her head again.
I took out my watch and glanced at it.
It was already around 7:30 pm.
Just as she was about to go out to talk to Mo Mo and Tang Bai, she ran into Chi Baixuan and Chi Jing, who were walking angrily toward her.
There were cameras everywhere in the corridor and overhead, so she wasn't worried that the two of them could cause any trouble.
She ignored them and walked straight toward the elevator.
"Stop!" Chi Baixuan quickly stopped her.
Jiang Ruan glanced at his stomach without changing her expression, and said the most hurtful thing in the calmest tone: "Hasn't that kick taught you a lesson yet?"
Chi Baixuan subconsciously took two steps back, glancing to the left and right.
He was afraid that Mo Mo and Tang Bai would suddenly appear out of nowhere and kick him again.
“We didn’t come here to argue with you,” Chi Jing stepped forward and spoke, her face full of sincerity. “We’re just worried that you’ll be deceived by Chi Qian, so we’re here to expose her true colors for you!”
"I don't need you to tell me what my friends are like," Jiang Ruan said calmly.
"Do you really think she's someone easy to deal with?" Chi Baixuan was getting impatient because he didn't see the scene he wanted to see. "If you knew what she did to you before, you wouldn't say such things."
Jiang Ruantan didn't even bother to talk to him.
He walked past her and left.
While stopping her, Chi Baixuan continued, "At the first banquet you attended in Haicheng, the young master Li Xuyan from the Li family who tried to chat you up was someone she instructed."
Jiang Ruan still ignored her.
Su Zhu had discussed this matter with her.
However, after analysis, they all felt that Chi Qian and those people were just superficial friends, and besides, that incident didn't have any impact on her. Li Xuyan's approach was sudden, but it wasn't frivolous.
"You really think she considers you a friend?" Chi Baixuan roared at her. "She only cares about your unusual relationship with the Li and Qin families."
"And you?" Jiang Ruan asked in return, a rare occurrence for her.
Chi Baixuan was taken aback: "What?"
Jiang Ruan asked directly, "Why did you become friends with your friend?"
Chi Baixuan: "??"
What kind of question is this?
Jiang Ruan left without waiting for his reply.
She knew perfectly well why Chi Qian was friends with her; she didn't need anyone else to explain.
Watching her receding figure, Chi Baixuan's eyes were filled with resentment, while Chi Jing's brows furrowed with worry: "What do we do now? Dad has cut off all our cards, and we haven't resolved things with Chi Qian yet."
“I don’t believe Jiang Ruan has no thoughts at all.” Chi Baixuan stared intently. “Don’t forget how Chi Qian’s last friend left her.”
Chi Jing paused.
What the two didn't notice was that Chi Yuan, who was in the lounge, heard everything they said.
I just came up here to take a break from my busy schedule, but who knew I would overhear this kind of conversation.
In the time that followed.
Chi Qian was having her birthday party downstairs, and Jiang Ruan found a spot to watch her.
Jiang Ruan only said goodbye to Chi Qian after she finished her business.
On the way home, Jiang Ruan leaned back in the back seat, and Tang Bai, who was driving, joked, "Did you exchange money for goods?"
“No,” Jiang Ruan said.
Tang Bai: "?"
Mo Mo: "?"
Mo Mo's mind raced for a while before she came to a conclusion: "Are you too embarrassed to ask her for it?"
"It's her birthday today." Jiang Ruan was never shy about this. "As a new friend, I should give her a gift."
"boss."
"Um?"
"I want to be your friend," Mo Mo said seriously.
Tang Bai chimed in, "I want to too."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Mo Mo: "Are we friends now?"
Jiang Ruan immediately saw what they were thinking and denied it without hesitation: "No."
"You said we were your friends before." Mo Mo felt regretful when she thought about how much money she had lost. "Liar."
"Have you two contacted your captain?" Jiang Ruan changed the subject. "Should we give you two a couple of days off?"
Tang Bai: "..."
Mo Mo: "..."
It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned this.
The mere mention of this instantly dampened their spirits.
Since they came back, they have deliberately avoided thinking about this matter. As long as they don't think about it, it's not their fault.
The three of them arrived home while chatting. Jiang Ruan went back to her room to wash up before going to Sui Sui's room to find him. She had been too busy lately and had neglected to care for the child.
To her surprise, as soon as she entered, she saw Mr. Qin sitting in the room telling Sui Sui a story. When he saw her, he greeted her with a loving smile: "My little darling is back."
"Grandpa," Jiang Ruan called out.
Then I remembered that the old man had moved in before, but I've been so busy lately that I'd completely forgotten about it.
"Mommy!" Sui Sui got off the bed and hugged her, her chubby face fair and tender.
Seeing this, Mr. Qin stood up and said, "You two chat, I'm going to sleep first."
Jiang Ruan offered to help you.
After escorting Mr. Qin back to his room, Jiang Ruan returned to Sui Sui's room and chatted with him for over an hour, talking about what happened at his school and the interesting things that had happened at home these past few days.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Ruan learned that Tang Bai and Mo Mo's captain had been here before.
They even kidnapped Si Ning.
"Oh, right, Mommy." After chatting about these trivial things, Sui Sui remembered the important matter, "I've been calling Daddy these past few days, but he hasn't answered. He just sends me messages telling me to listen to you."
Jiang Ruan paused.
A hint of worry flashed in Sui Sui's eyes: "Has something happened to him?"
“He’s dealing with something very important to him,” Jiang Ruan said after considering her words carefully. “He’ll come to see you when he’s done.”
"Have you seen him?" Sui Sui boldly guessed.
Jiang Ruan was taken aback, but didn't lie: "Yes."
Sui Sui always felt that they were hiding something from him, but his mother didn't want to talk about it and he didn't want to ask too much.
But I still subconsciously worry.
"You miss him a lot?" Jiang Ruan noticed his change in mood.
"I miss him a little bit." Sui Sui was very honest with Jiang Ruan. "These past few nights I've been dreaming about him. In my dreams, he's forgotten all of us, married someone else, and had a child."
“Dreams and reality are opposites. You will always be the child he cares about most.” Jiang Ruan rubbed his head, finally understanding where his unease came from. “Even if he forgets himself, he will never forget you.”
