After that annoying phone call, even after taking medicine, Jian Ci couldn't sleep well the whole night.
The psycho's words made her so angry that she wanted to beat someone up.
So much so that before dawn the next day, she suddenly sat up from the bed with a gloomy face, endured the throbbing of her forehead, and finally gritted her teeth and cursed out two words: "You are sick!"
Then he threw off the quilt and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After taking a shower, Jian Ci's low mood improved a little, but her face was still very sour and gloomy, as if she was holding back her anger.
When she went downstairs to have breakfast, Qin Shizheng clearly noticed that something was wrong with her.
I was in a good mood when I was watching the gala last night, so how come my mood got so low in just one night?
He first gently pushed the plate of cakes in front of the expressionless little girl and said, "Here, have a piece of white rice cake. This is the custom. I wish you success this year."
Although he said it very nicely, he actually had never observed this custom.
What the Qin family values most is the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, simply because it is a custom left by the older generation.
So no matter how much they secretly compete with each other, they have to sit down together and have this meal on this day.
But it was limited to this one meal.
After the meal, everyone would go back and never stay at the old house, so he didn't care about the custom of eating cakes on New Year's Day.
I was just worried that the little girl wouldn't have a festive atmosphere here, so I spent several days cramming all kinds of knowledge about the Chinese New Year, trying my best to make the little girl happy.
Fortunately, after Jian Ci took a bite, she found it tasted good.
The white rice cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, and the red dates are sweet but not greasy, just right.
The low pressure that had been pressing down all night suddenly eased a little.
Qin Shizheng just stayed by her side quietly. When she felt better, he casually asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
The little girl who was eating suddenly frowned slightly.
She felt unhappy when this damn guy was mentioned.
Coming here to make her angry during New Year's Day is simply insane!
He swallowed the cake in his hand and mumbled, "Hmm."
Qin Shizheng, who didn't know what she was thinking, heard that she hadn't slept well. His eyes darkened, "The medicine isn't working?"
Jian Ci was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She leaned back in her chair and chuckled softly, "It's just okay. Compared to the original, mine is at most a high imitation."
Qin Shizheng frowned, "Is it still a problem with the raw materials?"
When the medicine was mentioned, Jian Ci's expression faded a little, and she played with the chopsticks in her hand, "Hmm."
Qin Shizheng carefully observed her reaction, and after confirming that she had no emotional problems, he continued, "If you're willing, I can actually help you. I've had a leg injury for the past two years, so I have a lot of medicinal resources on hand."
Jian Ci slowly raised her eyes, and there was a hint of depth in her cold eyes.
After a moment, she propped up her chin and smiled, "Zhixu grass, but it's not just any Zhixu grass. Can you find it?"
Qin Shizheng nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone find it for you."
Jian Ci pushed the white rice cake in front of him again, "Thank you."
Qin Shizheng glanced at the cakes, smiled lightly, and said meaningfully, "Actually, compared to this, I'd rather you thank me for something else."
Jian Ci raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Okay, when you find it, I'll thank you with something else."
"Okay, I look forward to it then."
Qin Shizheng picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.

But the Ke family on the other side obviously did not celebrate the New Year so happily.
After learning of her husband's death, Hu Yuxiang squatted at the door of the police station every day, crying and making a fuss, demanding an explanation.
The police did find out that there were problems inside, but they didn't dare to do anything to the people and could only comfort and appease them in various ways.
It was not until Hu Yuxiang said that Ke Pengyun was murdered that the police suddenly felt that there might be something else going on, so they took him in for questioning.
It turned out to be Jian Guoxing, who had no connection with the person at all.
They were inevitably disappointed, so they prepared to seal the confession and put it away.
Who knew that Zhou Huaixing saw it.
After hearing the three words "Jian Guoxing", he became cautious and called Jian Ci to tell her about it.
But Jian Ci's phone was always turned off.
It wasn't until the evening that the phone finally turned on.
Jian Ci, who was watching TV with Qin Shizheng at the time, heard the news and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes, which were as dark as a deep pool. "Is Jian Guoxing directing this behind the scenes?"
Zhou Huaixing hummed, "It was Ke Pengyun's wife, Hu Yuxiang, who said that. I don't think he hired a killer, but I think he might have fabricated public opinion."
He had also heard about the previous national treasure incident.
It was he who sent people to capture him after receiving the news from Jian Ci.
But no one would have expected that this biological father would set up a plan himself in order to seize power, causing his daughter to be caught up in such a huge public opinion storm.
If Jian Ci had not been prepared, Tang’s stock price would have collapsed due to the criticism and it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
This father is really cruel.
There is no trace of father-daughter affection at all.
In response, Jian Ci was silent for a few seconds, but didn't say much. She just said, "Okay, I understand."
Zhou Huaixing knew that this was not easy for his family, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said with a smile: "Is this your first time to celebrate the New Year with your grandfather in Kyoto?"
Jian Ci was still thinking about Jian Guoxing, and said without any emotion: "No, I was with Qin Shizheng."
Zhou Huaixing's expression paused slightly
Live with Master Qin Wu?!
Have you all entered the Qin family?
This little ancestor is so powerful!
I didn't dare to delay her at the moment and quickly ended the topic, "Okay, if there is any news about Hu Yuxiang, I will tell you."
Jian Ci nodded and hung up the phone.
Qin Shizheng, who was sitting beside Jian Ci peeling melon seeds, pushed the peeled melon seeds in his hand over and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Jian Ci took a melon seed and played with it unconsciously in her hand. She said in a flat tone, "Hu Yuxiang said that Jian Guoxing secretly killed people to silence them, but no one believed it."
Qin Shizheng frowned slightly, "What do you think?"
Jian Ci looked at the pair of melon seeds and chuckled, "I think it's not impossible."
Qin Shizheng's eyes turned cold and sharp, "What do you mean?"
Jian Ci suddenly chuckled, a cold look on her red lips, "This isn't the first time he's killed someone."
These words made a dark and cold light flash in the depths of Qin Shizheng's eyes.
Jian Ci turned her head and looked at Qin Shizheng, saying, "Didn't you say that the surveillance footage hasn't been repaired? Send it to me so I can take a look."
Qin Shizheng knew that she was going to intervene personally, so he nodded, "Okay."
