Qi Siyi, who was standing next to him and whose mood was greatly affected, chimed in: "They're such busy people, they don't have time to eat with us. Let's go."
Mr. Qi: "You're just being sarcastic."
Qi Siyi: "..."
Mr. Qi said to Ning Qiluo, "Daughter, the Jiang family's son had something to do, so he didn't stay for dinner. All the dishes on the table tonight were prepared by the Jiang family's son himself."
When Jiang Yingchi was mentioned, a smile was clearly on Mr. Qi's face.
Unlike before, there was always some disdain from outsiders.
Qi Siyi finally understood that Jiang Gou's feigned sympathy and insincerity had already begun to infiltrate the Qi family...
Qi Zhufeng and Qi Xiangchen, who arrived later, sat down one after the other.
Qi Xiangchen asked in a calm voice, "Jiang Yingchi came today?"
Mr. Qi first put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on Ning Qiluo's plate before answering, "Well, I went to talk to the Jiang family boy about something this afternoon, and he brought me back."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiangchen looked at his father and asked, "He's been in Beicheng for so long, isn't he going back to Manzhou? Doesn't he care about things there?"
"hehe-"
The one who let out the sneer was Qi Siyi. He said, "Jiang Yingchi is shamelessly staying in Beicheng and refusing to return to Manzhou. Isn't it obvious to everyone that he's up to no good?!"
Qi Zhufeng didn't participate in the topic and peeled the crab shell for his younger sister.
Ning Qiluo didn't participate in the topic, focusing instead on eating the crab that Qi Zhufeng had peeled and the dishes that her father had put on her plate.
...
After finishing her meal, Ning Qiluo felt incredibly full.
Jones stepped forward and asked, "Miss Ning, would you like me to accompany you for a walk to aid digestion?"
It's good for digestion.
Anyway, she was bored with what her father and brothers were talking about, so she walked away.
Under the cover of night, the grass in the front garden is lush and green.
The mermaid statues standing in the fountain look especially beautiful under the night sky. Because mermaids are mostly frightening in appearance, the mermaid statues in the manor are carved in the shape of mermaids.
“Jones, I’ve been upstairs all afternoon, so I don’t know what happened downstairs. I don’t even know when Jiang Yingchi arrived. Did he really leave because of something urgent?”
This is why Ning Qiluo readily agreed to go for a walk with Jones to digest her food.
She wanted to take this opportunity to ask Jones what was going on.
Jones strolled up to Ning Qiluo from behind, "Miss Ning."
Ning Qiluo stopped and turned around.
Seeing that Jones seemed to have something to say to her, she patted Jones on the shoulder: "Go ahead and say it, it's just the two of us here."
Jones said, "Actually, the son-in-law also wanted to stay, but this is the Qi family after all, and he was afraid of putting you in a difficult position, so he left first."
Ning Qiluo frowned.
Seeing this, Jones quickly added fuel to the fire: "I heard that the son-in-law was busy all day and didn't even have time for lunch. He's cooking tonight himself, and he still has things to do when he gets back, so I guess..."
Ning Qiluo frowned even more deeply.
She mumbled, "No, I can't not eat! How can I do that?!"
Jones chimed in, "Yeah, even the strongest body can't withstand that kind of torture."
“Then, Jones, go and have the kitchen prepare a takeaway dinner, and I’ll have someone deliver it to Jiang Yingchi in my name.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Jones shake his head.
Ning Qiluo asked, "What's wrong?"
Jones said, "I think that in your name, Miss Ning, it's better to go in person."
Ning Qiluo thought about it and agreed. She glanced at her watch and said, "It's not nine o'clock yet. Go tell the kitchen to prepare a serving..."
Jones immediately replied, "I'm ready."
Ning Qiluo looked at Jones.
Jones: Oh no, I spoke too fast.
However, Ning Qiluo didn't think much of it.
Jones was only asked to inform her father and brother before she had already taken dinner to the car to find Jiang Yingchi.
