Chapter 722 Unaccustomed
Jian Shangchen explained the class matters and went out to receive the guests. Xiang Zhimu was not interested in the banquet, so he did not go out with him and decided to go home.
Before leaving, I saw Leng Jun surrounded by Xiao Yimo and Xiang Jingjing, and they seemed to be talking about something intimately.
Xiao Yimo is a childhood sweetheart, and what is Xiang Jingjing.
When did Xiang Jingjing become involved with the Leng family?
Xiang Zhimu thought about the ward where Xiang Jing was staying. He was almost certain that it must have been arranged by the Leng family, taking advantage of Xiang Jingjing's current relationship with the Leng family.
But what is her relationship with the Leng family?
She has always liked Qi Xingzhuo, so she shouldn't be with Leng Jun.
When Xiang Zhimu speculated that Leng Jun might have something going on with Xiang Jingjing, he quickly denied it.
Leng Jun didn't know, but Xiang Jingjing had deep feelings for Qi Xingzhuo and would not do anything to let Qi Xingzhuo down.
I was thinking about all sorts of things along the way and before I knew it I was home.
Then she saw Qi Xingzhuo.
Holding wontons in hand.
Seeing her come back, he immediately smiled and said to her, "I made you some wontons. They were made by the chef from the restaurant you loved most in high school. I helped them open a shop in the capital."
"I've graduated from college," Xiang Zhimu said indifferently, then took out the key from his bag and opened the door.
Qi Xingzhuo's ingratiating smile froze on his face, but before she closed the door, he still smiled and handed the wontons in his hand to her: "Mu Mu, give it a try. Even if you hate me, this wonton wrapper is what you like, so don't be mean to it."
"Just because I liked him before doesn't mean I like him now," she said bluntly, closing the door and ignoring him.
Qi Xingzhuo choked and looked at the closed door, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Mumu, I failed to protect you back then, but now I sincerely want to reconcile with you and take good care of you."
He sent a text message to Xiang Zhimu.
When I got home, I received Xiang Zhimu's reply: "Then send your mother to the police station to surrender first."
Qi Xingzhuo's face froze.
At this time, Qi's mother came out of the house to greet him and complained, "Why are you back so late? Did you go on a date with Jingjing?"
Qi Xingzhuo looked at his mother with a complicated expression, said nothing, and walked into the house silently.
Qi's mother felt strange and handed him the fruit plate. "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Jingjing?"
Without waiting for Qi Xingzhuo to speak, Qi's mother acted as a peacemaker: "You young people have bad tempers, and it's normal to quarrel occasionally, but you should be careful about the limits, especially since Jingjing is a girl. If you give in to her a little, there's nothing you can't get over."
Qi Xingzhuo hesitated for a moment, then asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Mom, why did you disapprove when Mu Mu and I were together, but when Jing Jing and I were together, you were so supportive of us being together?"
Obviously Xiang Zhimu is better than Xiang Jingjing in every aspect.
But why did his mother like Xiang Jingjing more?
He always felt it was strange, but because of what happened four years ago, he basically never mentioned Xiang Zhimu to Qi's mother again.
Mother Qi paused while taking the fruit, then said calmly, "Didn't I tell you long ago that Xiang Zhimu has no parents, so his upbringing must be problematic. Even if the daughter-in-law of our Qi family isn't rich, she should at least be from a normal family."
"I don't like girls who are too worried. She's been living under someone else's roof since she was little, so she's definitely more cunning than Jingjing. You won't even know if someone plots against you in the future."
"But Mu Mu didn't want to be without parents. She's been miserable enough since she was a child without parents. Why do you still look at her with tinted glasses?" Qi Xingzhuo stood up and looked at his mother unbearably. "Mom, how can you be so snobbish?"
Mother Qi looked at her son helplessly: "Xingzhuo, when you grow up, you will understand how important a complete family is to a child's growth. Mom is checking you out before marriage. I hope that your little family will be stable and happy in the future."
"But Mu Mu, who grew up in an incomplete family, has never maliciously intended to harm anyone. On the contrary, it was you, who grew up in a complete family, who almost ruined an innocent girl back then."
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from the sofa, unable to suppress the anger that was accumulating in his heart.
"If it weren't for you, Mom, I would have been married to Mu Mu now."
"After all this talk, you still can't forget that little bitch, right?" Mother Qi stood up from the sofa angrily, glaring at her own son, "Qi Xingzhuo, I'm your mother, how could I hurt you? I said that little bitch, she's not suitable for you, she's not suitable for you, everything I do is for your own good."
She took a step forward, looking at Qi Xingzhuo with a look of disappointment: "Are you going to see that little bitch? She's in the capital now, right? I knew she wouldn't give up the opportunity to climb up the social ladder. Orphans like this from humble backgrounds are the most calculating."
"Mumu is not an orphan," Qi Xingzhuo clenched his fists and looked at her with anger, "Mom, Mumu has let go of what happened back then. If you continue to slander her like this, I can't guarantee that Mumu will not..."
"Are you threatening me?" Mother Qi looked at her son in disbelief, "Qi Xingzhuo, I'm your mother, and you're talking to me like that?"
Qi Xingzhuo pursed his lips slightly: "I have always respected you. I have already fallen out with Mu Mu because of you. Now that so many years have passed, I hope you can respect me and stop interfering in my affairs."
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Qi Xingzhuo's cold and stubborn back hurt Qi's mother's eyes. She dialed Xiang Jingjing's number with a tight chest and shortness of breath: "Jingjing, are you available to answer the phone now?"
The party at Jian Shangchen's place was about to end. Leng Jun sent a few girls home, and Xiang Jingjing sat in the back row.
When she received the call from Qi's mother, she immediately sat up straight and said carefully, "It's convenient, auntie. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."
Mother Qi took a deep breath to calm herself down before she spoke: "Jingjing, have you had any conflicts with our Xingzhuo recently?"
Thinking back to how Qi Xingzhuo never contacted her again after he pretended to be Xiang Zhimu's husband in the ward, without even an apology, Xiang Jingjing would be lying if she said she wasn't angry.
But she didn't dare to take the initiative to find Qi Xingzhuo to explain.
She knew that if she met Qi Xingzhuo again, Qi Xingzhuo would definitely break up with her.
The only one who can help her now is Qi's mother.
She said a little aggrievedly: "No, Xingzhuo treats me very well, auntie, you don't have to worry."
He was so aggrieved that he almost cried, but he still cheered.
Mother Qi frowned: "Don't be afraid, tell me boldly, did Qi Xingzhuo bully you? Just tell your aunt, and I will take care of it for you."
Xiang Jingjing then spoke half-heartedly, "Maybe we're all a little uncomfortable after just returning to the capital."
