Jing Chi knew he couldn't rush things. This woman was currently very resistant to him. He smiled and promised, "Okay, let's only talk about grass today, nothing else."
Li Ying then sat down.
Tang Qiao rented a house in an alley. The room was spacious, with three bedrooms and a living room. However, the houses were close together, and people were coming and going. Compared with a private courtyard, it lacked privacy.
Ye Wennian picked Chenchen up for dinner, and Tang Qiao had already personally cooked a table full of delicious food.
When Ye Zhonghong brought Dangdang home, the aroma filling the house told her that they had guests.
"Mom, do we have guests at home today?"
“It’s Chenchen.” Tang Qiao glanced at Ye Zhonghong, then at Dangdang standing there, and said, “From now on, you have to treat Chenchen like your own nephew, understand?”
Ye Zhonghong said awkwardly, "Mom, even if I'm good to Chenchen, my sister-in-law still won't forgive me."
Even if your sister-in-law doesn't forgive you, you still have to be good to Chenchen.
Tang Qiao gave the order.
Ye Zhonghong nodded and pulled Dangdang to find Chenchen.
Chenchen and Ye Wennian were playing with spinning tops in the yard.
"Auntie, I want to play too," Dangdang pleaded.
Ye Zhonghong led Dangdang to Chenchen and said to Ye Wennian, "Big brother, Dangdang also wants to play this. Let the two of them play."
Ye Wennian thought it was something for children to play with, so he nodded.
Ye Zhonghong watched the two children playing in the yard, while Ye Wennian went inside to help Tang Qiao.
Dangdang deliberately tripped Chenchen, causing Chenchen to fall to the ground and scrape her knees badly.
"Waaah..." Chenchen started crying.
Ye Zhonghong quickly stood up and came over to pick up Chenchen.
Tang Qiao and Ye Wennian followed them out.
"Oh dear, what's wrong?"
Tang Qiao was very worried when she saw that Chenchen's knee was scraped and bleeding: "Tell me, we invited Chenchen over for a meal, but the child got hurt. How are we going to explain this to Li Ying?"
“Mom, isn’t it normal for kids to bump and bruise themselves? Dangdang bumped and bruised herself quite a lot when she was little,” Ye Zhonghong said, speaking up for Dangdang.
Ye Wennian looked at Dangdang. Children are instinctively afraid after doing something wrong, and Dangdang was no exception. He took a step back and waved his hand, "I didn't push him."
"Ding ding, tell the truth! Otherwise, I'll send you to your maternal grandmother's house!" Ye Wennian ordered sternly.
Dangdang sobbed and cried, "You all love him, but you don't like me! Is it because my mom was put in jail? You're all bad people!"
Dangdang ran out crying.
Ye Zhonghong chased after him.
Tang Qiao said helplessly, "This child is so young, he wouldn't do such a thing, would he?"
"He confessed without being asked, and you're still protecting him, Mom. It's because you're protecting him that he dared to do something so audacious." Ye Wennian's words weren't without reason.
It is often said that a doting mother spoils her son, and that is absolutely true. It was Tang Qiao's indulgence that led her second son astray.
"Quickly apply some medicine to Chenchen's leg."
Ye Wennian hurriedly carried Chenchen back into the house and applied iodine to Chenchen's legs.
Ye Zhonghong pulled Dangdang back: "Dangdang, apologize."
Dangdang lowered her head, and after a long while, she managed to stammer out, "I'm sorry."
Ye Wennian stood up, pulled Dangdang over, grabbed a feather duster, and dragged Dangdang into the bedroom. Soon, Dangdang's pitiful cries came from the bedroom.
In the afternoon, Tang Qiao and Ye Wennian came to drop Chenchen off.
Seeing the injury on Chenchen's knee, Li Ying was very unhappy. It wasn't that she was protecting her own, but rather that the injury on Chenchen's leg was deliberately inflicted by someone else.
"Yingying, it's my fault for not watching the children properly, and Chenchen got hurt. Wen Nian has already punished Dangdang, so let's just let it go."
Li Ying smiled coldly: "I don't blame you, I blame myself. I thought that the Ye family was at least kind, but I didn't expect there to be such a wicked child. You shouldn't take Chenchen back with you in the future."
Tang Qiao was extremely embarrassed, but the child's injury was indeed their responsibility, and there was nothing more to say.
Ye Wennian was also very apologetic.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Wennian noticed a hand-drawn picture on the table and picked it up to take a look.
"This person..."
Upon hearing this, Li Ying was pleasantly surprised: "You know this person?"
Ye Wennian thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know if it's him, but there's one person I definitely know."
"who?"
"My fifth aunt, Tang Yu, is Aunt Jing."
Aunt Jing?!
Li Ying thanked Ye Wennian and hurriedly told Xiang Ming the news.
Xiang Ming hung up the phone and looked at Jing Chi sitting opposite him.
"My sister-in-law said that Aunt Jing knows this person; it was Ye Wennian who told her."
Jing Chi was straightening his arms when he heard this and looked up: "Perhaps my mother really does know this person."
"Are you going to take the portrait to Aunt Jing?"
"No need, leave this to me."
Jing Chi's eyes were deep and somber.
The Jing family.
Aunt Jing hasn't been feeling well lately and has been taking medication. Today was no exception; she just finished taking her medicine and is now going upstairs to her room to rest.
"Madam, you've just eaten, and if you go to bed now, you might get indigestion," Xiao Hui reminded her worriedly.
"It's okay, I didn't eat much."
Xiao Hui helped Aunt Jing upstairs. When they entered the room, they saw a portrait lying on the floor.
"What's this?" Xiao Hui asked curiously as she bent down to pick it up, muttering to herself, "How come there's a portrait here? I didn't see it when I was cleaning. What's going on?"
Aunt Jing glanced at the portrait, froze, and after a long while, she came to her senses and snatched it from Xiao Hui's hands.
"this……"
How is that possible?
How could he still be alive?
"Madam, do you know this person?" Xiao Hui asked curiously.
"I don't know him, I don't know him." Aunt Jing handed the portrait to Xiao Hui: "Take it and get rid of it. Also, see which blind person left this portrait in my room."
"yes."
Jing Chi stood not far away and could see it clearly: when his mother saw the portrait, she panicked.
It's clear that she does know this person.
Jing Chi told Xiang Ming to slow down and investigate the matter gradually. Since that person had shown up in Shanghai, he would definitely appear, but it was uncertain when. However, Jing Chi was certain of one thing: he would definitely look for his mother.
"OK."
"Xiang Ming, retrieve the case of my Jing family from twenty years ago. I want to take a look."
Xiang Ming said with concern, "I advise you to give up. Your father was executed for treason."
"I think there's something wrong with this. I need to investigate. Maybe we've been set up."
Xiang Ming pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll try my best to find the files from back then."
After hanging up the phone, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Xiao Hui pushed open the door and stood at the entrance: "Young Master, Madam wants you to go to the study."
"I'll be right there."
The meeting is adjourned.
Jing Chi got dressed and went to the study.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a book was thrown at him. Jing Chi did not dodge, letting the book hit him hard.
"Tell me, what have you been busy with lately?" Aunt Jing roared and demanded.
