I miss you
Bing Jie had been thinking about this since he got in the car. When he opened his eyes, he understood everything. It was easy to verify whether she was here. He just needed to send someone to guard the place.
He used his phone to send a brief message to Qi Jixin: "I miss you." Then he sent a message to his parents, telling them that he had arranged several spies at his grandparents' house and asked them to hide the child.
Although it is not certain whether Qi Jixin is really here, the act of alerting the enemy will at least prevent his parents from taking the child away now.
If she was really there, Bing Jie only hoped that his actions could help her a little, even if she would eventually leave him with the child...
This is not Bing Jie being self-deprecating. This thought came to his mind when he realized that Qi Jixin might be there.
If she found the child, it would mean that she had recovered her memory, but why did she hide it from him? Bing Jie thought, there was no other explanation except that she wanted to leave him.
Thinking about this matter all the way, his expression became very ugly. Meng Jingxuan thought that he was in a bad mood because he had gained nothing, so he could only raise his hand and pat his shoulder to comfort him.
When Qi Jixin received the message, she collapsed in her chair, her phone having fallen to the ground. When she bent down to pick it up, she realized her hands were shaking. She couldn't even tell whether she was frightened by the scene or overwhelmed with emotion.
When the truth comes out, will Bing Jie be able to imagine that he actually met his daughter today? What kind of feelings will he have at that time?
Watching him squatting down and talking to the child, and the look back before he left, Qi Jixin suddenly felt very tired, more tired than she had ever been. She didn't like hiding things from Bing Jie, the feeling of deceiving her tortured her heart... But there was no other way.
The moment she opened her phone and saw the message, Qi Jixin's tears fell on her arms. She sighed and didn't know how to reply. After putting down the phone and wiping her tears several times, she forced herself to reply, "Me too."
Bing Jie looked at the three short words, the smile on his lips somewhat helpless. He thought to himself that she was indeed upset. Did she even forget that she had warned him not to contact her?
Ji Xin, what are you thinking about right now? Are you afraid that I will take the child away from you?
well……
He seldom sighed, but this time he sighed helplessly, so softly that even Meng Jingxuan beside him didn't notice. Bing Jie turned his head to look at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and his mood was as bleak as the withered and dilapidated scenery, growing colder and colder.
Xuan Jiazhuo rushed to the gate to pick someone up and happened to meet Gan Yuanrui who came with the lease contract. Qi Jixin rented two villas next door for more than 20 people to live in. After she confronted Xuan Jiazhuo yesterday, she contacted Gan Yuanrui to make the contract. Now she showed it to the guard as an explanation.
"It's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!" Gan Yuanrui was familiar with the guards, so he showed them the lease contract and the visitor's ID card and continued to explain, "I arrived a little late, which is why this happened. All the paperwork is complete."
Xuan Jiazhuo returned the ID cards that had been checked by the security guard to the brothers one by one. He also looked at their clothes from time to time and whispered to some people who performed particularly well.
"What's the matter with you rolling down your sleeves and showing your tattoo?"
"And you, smoke less and put out your cigarette quickly - hey, hey, hey, don't you see the trash can over there?" Seeing the guy picking up the cigarette butt to throw away the trash, Xuan Jiazhuo returned the last ID card to the boss - Bao Shenghui.
He was tall and thin, but his strong physique showed that he was a martial artist. The crew cut couldn't hide his fierce eyes, and his light brown skin made him look very capable in fighting.
"It's been hard work. I didn't expect this to happen this morning." As she said that, she raised her hand and pointed at Bao Shenghui's chest, "Brother, your shirt is almost becoming a low-cut dress." She was still merciless in her words.
Bao Shenghui smiled as he buttoned up two buttons. He glanced past Xuan Jiazhuo at the villa area inside and asked, "Your friend is really generous. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her in a long time."
Xuan Jiazhuo touched his shoulder with the back of his hand, murmured "tsk" and then said: "Don't be unruly when you meet her. When I took her to play with our band, you scared her so much that she didn't dare to go for a long time."
Bao Shenghui could only smile knowingly: "At that time, she seemed innocent and cute, so I just teased her."
"You'd better do this." Sister Zhuo looked at him with a little doubt, and just then saw Gan Yuanrui coming over with the pass, knowing that everything was settled.
Everyone drove their cars following Xuan Jiazhuo's car, turning left and right. The further they went, the more trees there were around and the fewer houses there were. When they reached the end and could only see four or five houses, the car in front stopped.
After a group of people got out of the car, Bao Shenghui walked to the front, waving his hand to let the people behind him go to the parking lot next to him to park first. Then he turned around and saw the door of the nearest building opened, and a woman in a denim dress with her arms hanging walked out.
Qi Jixin walked towards him, and when he was still a few steps away, he stretched out his hand to him with a smile: "Brother Shenghui, hello."
"I thought you didn't recognize me. Long time no see." Bao Shenghui looked at the person in front of him who he knew but looked different from what he remembered. He took her hand awkwardly and shook it gently. "What's wrong with your arm?"
"It was an unexpected disaster, but I feel much better now. Come on, I'll take you to see houses." As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Jiazhuo, who had returned from parking the car with someone, also came over. She pushed someone with one hand and said as they walked, "There are plenty of opportunities to catch up. Let's look at houses first!"
The house was divided up and the rooms were arranged. It was almost time for dinner. It was impossible to let Aunt Wang cook for so many people, so Xuan Jiazhuo took out a card and gave it to Bao Shenghui, saying that it was for everyone's pocket money and for ordering takeout.
Unexpectedly, Bao Shenghui took the card and handed it to the younger brother beside him, asking him to take full charge of the brothers' meals: "Be careful, don't break anything in the house, and don't go out and cause trouble for me, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
After talking to his brothers, he asked as a matter of course, shouldn't he have the right to go eat next door with them?
"After all, I hate eating takeout."
Hearing his shameless words, Xuan Jiazhuo rolled her eyes. What were you pretending to be like? Before she could object, Qi Jixin nodded in agreement, saying that there were only three of them, and today there was only Gan Yuanrui, so adding him wouldn't be too much.
At the dining table for five, Aunt Wang served the last sweet soup, then took off her apron and sat at the table. Everyone was then ready to start eating. They were all home-cooked dishes, and the taste was even very light.
Xuan Jiazhuo picked up a piece of fried leek and egg with chopsticks and put it in Bao Shenghui's rice bowl. He smiled maliciously and said, "You like this, eat more."
Bao Shenghui gritted his teeth and nodded calmly. As expected, no matter how many years passed, the person who could best control him was still Xuan Jiazhuo.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Qi Jixin didn't complain to Xuan Jiazhuo back then, otherwise she would have peeled off her own skin long ago...
He knew very well that Xuan Jiazhuo had long protected Qi Jixin as her own sister. If he let her know that he had coveted her sister, it would not just be a matter of picking up a dish he didn't like with chopsticks, but he might even have to take away his job.
When Bao Shenghui first heard that Xuan Jiazhuo was looking for someone to help, he took the initiative to contact her. Besides, for the kind of thing Xuan Jiazhuo mentioned, he could just ask his younger brothers to do it. The reason why he took action personally was actually because he had his own selfish motives.
First, he could meet Qi Jixin. After all, after she was scared by him, Xuan Jiazhuo stopped taking her to meet his friends. Later, she became a big star and was no longer in the same world as Bao Shenghui.
Secondly, he had to apologize to Qi Jixin. Back then, he was young and frivolous, and he confessed his feelings while threatening her. What kind of god could do such a thing? After so many years, he really owed her an apology.
Qi Jixin is gentle to others, but also very careful about her limits. Naturally, she would not help others pick up food like Sister Zhuo. She just smiled and looked at Sister Zhuo and Bao Shenghui, who were close friends. Bao Shenghui could only bite the bullet and eat a rather frustrating meal.
Just after dinner, Gan Yuanrui received a phone call. After she answered the phone, she called Sister Zhuo to the side to discuss something. Aunt Wang was cleaning up in the kitchen, and only Qi Jixin and Bao Shenghui were left in the living room.
"Um...long time no see." He said awkwardly, thinking about how he usually felt so aggrieved. Bao Shenghui pursed his lips in annoyance after he finished speaking.
Qi Jixin asked calmly, "Do you have something to tell me?" Seeing him scratching his head, it was obvious that he was struggling with something.
Originally he was still struggling with whether he should apologize as a gangster, but Bao Shenghui changed his mind and thought that if he did something wrong, he should apologize. He was indeed a gangster, but he was also a human being. He couldn't lose his humanity, right?
"I want to tell you I'm sorry. I blocked you on the rooftop and confessed my feelings to you. That form and that attitude were wrong." He scratched his head and asked apologetically, "I heard that you were so scared that you didn't dare to go to Sister Zhuo's band again. It was really my fault."
Qi Jixin's expression was normal at first, but the more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and finally he simply shook his head. Bao Shenghui suddenly felt a chill on his back until a heavy slap landed on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw Xuan Jiazhuo sitting on the back of the sofa, squinting at him, and asked almost through gritted teeth: "What did you say?"
"Sister Zhuo, actually..." Qi Jixin hurriedly opened her mouth to say something, but Xuan Jiazhuo raised her hand to stop her. She just stared at Bao Shenghui and said, "I want to hear what he says."
For Xuan Jiazhuo and Bao Shenghui at that time, their social circles were basically gangsters. Qi Jixin was an unexpected addition to Xuan Jiazhuo's social circle. She thought this sister was interesting, and this was even more so for Bao Shenghui.
After a while, he felt that he liked this exceptionally obedient and beautiful sister, but he was a gangster at that time, so confessing his feelings would naturally be inappropriate. He found an opportunity when Xuan Jiazhuo was not on the phone, took Qi Jixin to the rooftop, and confessed his feelings to her directly.
"But I don't like you."
"Think about it carefully... ahem, think about it." Bao Shenghui still remembered that when he was a teenager, he imitated adults and smoked in the wind, but he choked and cried. But before he could wipe away his tears, Qi Jixin, who was silent for two seconds, replied, "Think about it carefully. I really don't like you."
"Oh! If I insist on you being my girlfriend, can you refuse?" As he said that, he clamped his hands on Qi Jixin's shoulders. Qi Jixin frowned at him and replied calmly, "I'll tell Sister Zhuo."
"You dare!" He said, and then he kicked the concrete guardrail beside him as if to vent his anger. He meant to pretend, but ended up sitting on the ground in pain.
"Ahhh, Sister Zhuo, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
In reality, Bao Shenghui was pinched by Xuan Jiazhuo on the neck below the ear. She only pinched a little bit of flesh, but it was so painful that his face was distorted. This is Xuan Jiazhuo's secret to treating people.
