Chapter 70 Return to the Old House
Ji Bingqian pursed his lips and said, "My mother is feeling a little uncomfortable with her heart."
Hearing that it was an elder who was unwell, Xu Yueqing also became a little nervous.
After all, she was Ji Bingqian's mother, and would be her temporary mother-in-law in the future.
She considered it for a moment before asking, "Mr. Ji, do you need me to go back with you?"
Ji Bingqian looked at her with his deep eyes for a few seconds, and the unpleasant conversation on the phone just now flashed through his mind.
He thought about it, then nodded.
"good."
Xu Yueqing was stunned for a moment.
Are you going to meet the parents now?
Especially at such a critical juncture.
Ji Bingqian had already stood up and picked up the suit jacket that was draped over the back of the chair.
"Let's go."
Xu Yueqing came back to his senses and nodded, then followed him out side by side.
When the two of them arrived at the door, they met Manager He. Before he could ask, Ji Bingqian spoke first: "Manager He, I have something to do and I'll leave first. The bill is in the box."
Manager He nodded immediately and walked them all the way to the door and into the car.
The driver was already waiting at the door.
The black Maybach drove into traffic, and the cabin was so quiet that only the slight sound of the air conditioner was heard.
The air conditioner was turned up quite high, and a slight chill seeped into my body.
Xu Yueqing subconsciously hugged her arm and rubbed it gently.
The next second, a still warm suit jacket fell on her shoulders.
She looked up and met Ji Bingqian's eyes.
"Thank you." Xu Yueqing did not refuse and simply straightened her coat.
The man's breath enveloped her, blocking out the cold air in the car.
Ji Bingqian looked at her obedient movements, with unknown emotions churning in his dark pupils. After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke, his voice a little deeper than usual.
"When we get to the old house, you stay by my side and don't go anywhere."
Xu Yueqing tightened her grip on the edge of her coat.
She immediately remembered the gloomy expression on Ji Bingqian's face after he answered the phone, and the frost between his brows.
It seems that the water in the Ji family is much more muddy than she imagined.
However, she knew her own identity and naturally would not meddle in other people's affairs.
"Okay, Mr. Ji." She nodded and responded straightforwardly.
After getting her answer, Ji Bingqian stopped talking. The lines on his profile were tense, revealing a coldness that kept strangers away.
The carriage fell silent again.
Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped in front of the gate of a magnificent manor.
Zhou Yuan got out of the car first, walked quickly to the back seat, and respectfully opened the door.
"Mr. Ji."
Ji Bingqian bent down and got out of the car. After standing still, he turned around and extended his hand to Xu Yueqing in the car.
The bony hand, palm facing upward, hung quietly in front of her.
Xu Yueqing looked at the hand, then raised his eyes to look at Ji Bingqian.
The man was standing against the light, his face hidden in the shadows and not clearly visible, but his eyes were looking straight at her.
After hesitating for only a second, Xu Yueqing placed her slightly cold hand into his warm palm.
The next moment, Ji Bingqian closed his fingers and held her hand tightly.
Xu Yueqing used his strength to get out of the car. When he looked up, he saw the two large characters written in a flamboyant style on the lintel.
Ji's house.
It was just as she had imagined, solemn and dignified, but also revealing a suffocating sense of oppression.
Just as the two were about to go in, a man in a dark grey Mao suit hurried out to greet them. He was about fifty years old, with a face that showed the calmness of time. The moment he saw Ji Bingqian, that calmness was instantly replaced by a relieved smile.
"Master, you are finally back."
