Chapter 290 Can’t you say something soft to me?



When Jian Ci returned to Qin Shizheng's place, she first went back to the old house.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, I heard Chen Ling suddenly say from behind: "Xiaoci!!!"

The sound was so loud that Jian Ci paused.

Before she could turn around, she saw Chen Ling rushing over with a plate in her hand, blocking the stairs and shouting, "Why are you back?!"

Seeing her excited look, Jian Ci felt puzzled and said, "I came back to see grandpa."

As a result, after hearing this, Chen Ling tried to stop him again, saying, "You still remember to come back to see Grandpa. It's been so many days, almost half a month, and the Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and you still haven't come back!"

Jian Ci raised the tail of her delicate eyebrows slightly and said, "So I'm back now, right?"

Then he had to go around her and prepare to go upstairs again.

But just after taking a step, he was blocked by Chen Ling again, "You...you said you would come back, so you came back. What do you think of this place?"

Jian Ci watched her block her way again and again, and her expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of scrutiny.

Finally, his eyes fell on the plate in her hand, and he asked meaningfully, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Chen Ling's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head decisively, "No... no..."

Jian Ci raised her chin and asked, "Then why do you use two plates?"

Chen Ling looked down and saw that there were indeed two dinner plates!

How do I explain this?

She clenched her hand holding the plate slightly, and her brain started working at high speed.

"Well... because I... I..." She paused for two seconds and then said decisively, "I'm hungry because I didn't have breakfast! Yes! I'm hungry and want to eat an extra portion!"

Jian Ci glanced at her meaningfully and said nothing.

Chen Ling looked at her eyes and knew that she must have misunderstood. However, she couldn't explain it at the moment, so she could only bite the bullet and insisted, "It's true."

Jian Ci raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and without saying anything else, she just asked, "Is there any food at home? Give me some."

When Chen Ling heard that she didn't ask any further questions, she felt relieved and answered subconsciously, "Yes, there are many more."

Jian Ci hummed and said calmly, "Then prepare one for me. I'll go upstairs to see grandpa first and come down to eat later."

Chen Ling, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, perked up immediately upon hearing this. She quickly grabbed her and said, "What do you mean first? The food won't taste good if it gets cold. Let's eat first! Come! I'll eat with you!"

After saying that, he forcibly dragged the person into the restaurant.

Jian Ci was dragged around and had no choice but to eat with her first.

After finishing eating, he went upstairs again.

This time, Chen Ling did not stop her.

She took the old man's pulse and performed an examination as usual.

But after completing the entire set of examinations, Jian Ci stood by the bed with a frown on her face.

This made Chen Ling a little nervous, "What...what happened?"

Jian Ci didn't answer, but raised her head, her dark eyes looking at her senior sister, and asked: "Has the old man been awake recently?"

Chen Ling kept shaking her head, "No!"

This answer made Jian Ci frown slightly.

Judging from his pulse, the old man is now fully conscious.

How could there not be?

Is it because grandpa is old that he can’t wake up?

Jian Ci didn't dare to use the medicine rashly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Watch it closely during this period. If there are any abnormalities, tell me immediately."

Chen Ling nodded, "Oh, okay."

After visiting her grandfather, Jian Ci did not stay long and went straight back to Qin Shizheng.

When Qin's mother heard the car, she came out smiling and said, "Xiaoci is back? Have you had lunch yet? Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make some more?"

Jian Ci, who was originally smiling, froze for a moment, then shook her head decisively, "No, I've already eaten outside, no need to bother, Auntie."

She really remembers that mouthful of salty milk.

She really didn't want to suffer a second time.

But Mother Qin just thought she was worried about her, and smiled even more happily, "What's the trouble? I'm here to take care of you two."

"...Where's Qin Shizheng? Has he eaten?" Jian Ci asked, trying to change the subject.

Seeing how concerned she was about her son, Mother Qin felt that the couple had a good relationship. She chuckled and said, "She said she had no appetite because you were away, so she simply drank a bowl of porridge and went upstairs to the study."

Jian Ci raised an eyebrow.

He's quite good at using her as an excuse.

"Then I'll go upstairs and see him first."

Mother Qin nodded. "Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll go to the kitchen and check on the soup I made for you tonight."

Jian Ci: “???”

She's not planning on cooking all three meals a day herself, is she?!

That won’t do!

If a glass of milk can be made like that, who knows how terrible the other dishes must be.

Jian Ci suddenly felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have agreed to keep the person.

No, she had to find a way to get Qin Shizheng to get his mother away.

Otherwise she couldn't bear it.

So he immediately went upstairs and wanted to have a good discussion with Qin Shizheng.

*

At this time, Qin Shizheng, who had no idea that Jian Ci had been in the house, was talking on the phone with Bai Wenjin.

"Fifth brother, those people have all been captured and their mouths have been pried open. It is indeed the Ghost who wants to assassinate you."

Qin Shizheng's eyes were cold and he asked, "Reason?"

"What's strange is that they simply want to assassinate you for no reason." After Bai Wenjin finished speaking, he thought of something and continued, "And I found out that they were targeting you when you and your sister-in-law had a car accident last time."
