353 Slap in the face
Qi Lianxin felt like the sky was falling.
No, it hasn't collapsed completely yet, it's about to collapse.
She prayed silently to all the gods and Buddhas in heaven, and to Guanyin, who saved the suffering, to please let Xiaohai stay out for a while longer and come back after everyone was asleep.
Unfortunately, none of the gods and Buddhas in heaven heard her prayers.
Around six o'clock, Jiang Baohai pushed the door open and walked in at his usual meal time.
Four dishes and one soup, five delicious dishes with good looks and aroma, have been placed on the table.
Jiang Baohai took a deep breath, the taste of home, satisfaction!
He opened the shoe cabinet and took out his slippers, and suddenly felt that the house was too quiet today.
The daughter did not rush over to greet her father, and the wife did not greet him with "You're back."
Not even the mother's eager "Go wash your hands and sit down to eat."
Weird, so weird.
Jiang Baohai changed his shoes and walked in. The old, young and a child who had already sat down at the dining table all looked at him and tried hard to smile.
It was obvious that my mother's smile was forced, with bitterness and a hint of panic in her eyes.
Jiang Qiyue was more well-behaved than ever before. He smiled sweetly at his father, then picked up the spoon and ate his meal silently.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baohai looked at his wife suspiciously.
Gao Qinghe took out the scarf gift box that was placed on the empty chair next to her.
Qi Lian wanted to stop her, but as soon as she moved, Jiang Baohai glanced over with a scrutinizing look.
"What is it?" Jiang Baohai opened the gift box while observing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suspiciously.
A scarf, he knew the brand, it was a pretty big one.
"What's wrong with this scarf? Is it for me?" Mr. Jiang looked forward to it.
Gao Qinghe reminded: "Look carefully, is this for men?"
Jiang Baohai lowered his head and looked at it again. It was dark red and could be worn by both men and women.
However, the pattern on the scarf is indeed more feminine.
"Whose is it?" Jiang Baohai lost his patience and asked in a deep voice.
Qi Lianxin hesitated, "Yes, it was given to me by Master Wang."
What uncle?
Which uncle?
Jiang Baohai was confused, but his man's intuition told him that this Uncle Wang was definitely not a good person.
Gao Qinghe patted the empty seat beside him, motioned the man to sit down, and recounted what happened in the afternoon in a calm tone.
I also added that the fish my family had eaten in the past few months were all kindly provided by Uncle Wang.
After saying that, he glanced at the expression of the man next to him.
Not angry at all?
Jiang Baohai asked sullenly as he picked up some food, "Have you been to the health center?"
Qi Lianxin shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that the scarf Xiaohe bought is broken."
A full five thousand yuan, enough to make her suffer for ten years!
Jiang Baohai nodded subconsciously, and perhaps because he was too angry, he actually smiled.
"Mom, if you don't want to pursue this, I'll return this scarf for you tomorrow when I go out."
"but......"
Just when Qi Lianxin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Baohai changed the subject and looked at her seriously to confirm:
"Mom, have you really decided not to associate with this old man?"
Qi Lian thought to himself, "I knew you wouldn't agree. I'll just guard your father's tablet from now on. I shouldn't think about these messed up things. Today is all my fault..."
Jiang Baohai flew into a rage when he heard this. "Wrong, wrong, wrong. She said everything was her fault. Will she die if she doesn't admit her mistakes?" Jiang Baohai put down his bowl and wanted to slam his chopsticks. He couldn't control his emotions when it came to his mother's affairs. He was really fed up with the way she spoke.
He had clearly asked in a nice tone, wanting to be more understanding of her difficulties and listen to her ideas, but she ended up saying such weird things.
Fortunately, Gao Qinghe held his hand in time.
Feeling the warmth coming from his hand, Jiang Baohai took a deep breath in annoyance, lowered his eyes, and whispered:
"Mom, you don't have to spend your whole life guarding my dad's tablet. If you really want to find him, Xiaoyu and I will support you."
"But then again, if that person is this Mr. Wang, I don't agree."
After saying this, Jiang Baohai stood up from the table and returned to his room.
Qi Lianxin's tears, which he had been holding back, suddenly flowed down. Afraid that his granddaughter would notice something was wrong, he hurriedly hid in the bathroom.
Gao Qinghe shook his head helplessly and patted his daughter's looking head.
"It's okay, eat slowly, eat more, the rest are ours~"
"Mom, did Dad and Grandma have a fight?" Jiang Qiyue asked.
Gao Qinghe smiled and said, "No, they just had a disagreement when expressing their opinions, and it will be resolved soon."
If mom says it's okay, then it must be okay.
Jiang Qiyue nodded and tried his best to eat more vegetables and not waste any.
As a result, when Qi Lianxin calmed down and came back to continue eating, all he saw were four empty plates.
There was only half a bowl of soup left on the table.
No, when did the mother and daughter become such big eaters?!
Qi Lian thought about this problem all night but couldn't figure it out.
But this night was truly tormenting for Uncle Wang.
In the afternoon, the father and daughter went to the health center first, applied medicine to Wang Xin's swollen face, and got some anti-inflammatory drugs, and then went to the hotel to pick up their grandson and go home together.
The father and daughter were silent all the way home. When they got home, they cooked their own meals separately without saying a word. It was all up to the child to liven up the atmosphere.
Out of consideration for the child, both of them suppressed their anger and waited until the child fell asleep before sitting down face to face to have a good talk.
What Wang Xin was most concerned about was not his father's emotional issues, but the business card that Gao Qinghe had just thrown to him.
In fact, she had looked at it several times along the way. The gold-plated font on the business card was printed clearly, and she recognized every word.
But when put together, there is a sense of unreality.
This sense of illusion turned into shock after she came back and called her friends in China to confirm the information.
Gao Qinghe is actually the behind-the-scenes boss of the hottest investment company in Shanghai!
"How is this possible? How could she be the owner of an investment company? She doesn't look like one at all. How is this possible?"
But the fact is, her friend in China is in the financial circle, and he would never joke with him about such things.
Wang Xin thought back to what he had said in the afternoon and suddenly felt his face hurt even more.
Uncle Wang was also shocked when he learned about Gao Qinghe's background.
He only knew that Qi Lianxin's son was a coal boss and his daughter-in-law just ate and slept at home.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that he is a real person who doesn't show his face.
"Wang Xin, you have to go to their house and apologize tomorrow!" Uncle Wang said firmly.
Wang Xin was about to ask why, but now that he knew it was all his imagination and that he had misunderstood others, he could only lower his head in shame and say, "I understand."
Uncle Wang wasn't going to let her go yet, and warned her, "You've damaged someone's five thousand yuan scarf. You have to pay for it!"
Wang Xin said with a hopeful heart, "Just believe her when she says five thousand. Unless she produces the invoice, I can only compensate her two hundred at most."
"Are you still quibbling?" Uncle Wang looked up and began to look around for something. Seeing the exercise equipment behind the door and the dumbbells in his hands, he took a few steps over and was ready to pick them up and beat his daughter.
Wang Xin was so frightened that he quickly ran to the room, and while running he lowered his voice and said in panic:
"I'll pay! Isn't it okay for me to pay?"
Uncle Wang said angrily, "Go and apologize tomorrow morning, or I'll beat you to death!"
Wang Xin was so scared that he quickly closed the door.
