The weekend is five days away.
Meng Qidi came out of the vegetable garden and picked a handful of fresh green vegetables. Ling Xiao was not at home these days, so she could just cook noodles.
Just after locking the iron gate and turning around, I found an uninvited guest, it was Xing Jinping.
"Captain Xing, are you looking for me or Ling Xiao? He's out for training, probably tomorrow..."
"I'm looking for you. Someone wants to see you." Xing Jinping still had a stern face, and there was a bit of seriousness in her eyes.
"See me? Shouldn't you go to see my teacher?"
Meng Qidi was a little wary. She wondered if the grafting technology her teacher had recently experimented with had made some progress and someone was planning something bad on her.
"I'm looking for you. It has nothing to do with your teacher." Xing Jinping said.
Meng Qidi suppressed the emotion in her eyes and shook the handful of green vegetables in her hand, "You have to let me send the vegetables back, right?"
By the way, leave a message to Ling Xiao and the teacher. If something really happens to me, they will know who to hold accountable, right?
"No need. This dish can be used to make a side dish. Shall we go?" Xing Jinping asked. She knew that she had misunderstood her, but she didn't want to explain.
To be honest, this Meng Qidi is really unpleasant...
"Then I have to tell my family, right? When my teacher and Ling Xiao come back..."
Xing Jinping smiled, Meng Qidi coughed lightly, "How about I pinch you again? Ahem, let's go!"
There was a brand new Santana parked on the roadside.
Xing Jinping opened the back seat and motioned Meng Qidi to get in.
Meng Qidi took a glance and felt like she was entering a den of thieves. Under Xing Jinping's gaze, she sat on it with gritted teeth.
The car was not driving fast and it went around a few times before stopping at a manor.
It is a manor, a rare and well-preserved manor in Beijing.
After getting off the car, Meng Qidi glanced around. This was out of the city, no wonder...
Now that they were in someone else's territory, Meng Qidi was too lazy to delay any further. If there was real danger, she would have no choice but to enter the space. She couldn't beat them anyway, so she just hoped that the other person wasn't that bad, right?
The gate of the manor opened gently, and an extremely ugly man walked out. He was stunned when he saw Meng Qidi, and then said respectfully.
"Miss Xing, the Third Master is in the yard."
"Please lead the way, Yi Bo."
"It's okay. The manor has always been quiet and it's rare to have guests. Is this girl the Third Master's little guest? Both of you follow me."
Yi Bo spoke gently, his eyes were clear, Meng Qidi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
The manor was not unattended as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was very clean. There was not a single leaf on the road and the flowers in the flower beds were in full bloom. It didn't look like a sign of being there for just one or two days, but rather like it had been lived in for a long time.
Yi Bo in the front smiled and turned his head, "We have lived in this garden for more than ten years, and we have never moved abroad with our family."
A few days ago, it was the first time that Third Master went out in so many years, but it was a pity...
With a sigh, Yi Bo withdrew his thoughts. Seeing Meng Qidi looking at a flower shed, he smiled and said, "Those are our Madam's favorite flowers. The Third Master was afraid that they would be hit by the rain, so he added a glass roof."
"Third Master is really thoughtful." Meng Qidi said this sincerely. It was really not easy to preserve the manor during such a chaotic period.
Judging from the mottled spots on the gate, it probably didn't escape the fate of being raided back then. As for how it escaped, only the person involved knows.
Yi Bo grinned, this compliment seemed to offset the hard work put in by the manor's owner over the years.
Xing Jinping sent Meng Qidi here, said hello and left. Meng Qidi glanced at the handful of green vegetables in her hand, and without feeling embarrassed, she handed it over, "Captain Xing asked me to bring this as a gift."
Yi Bo was slightly stunned, and quickly took it over, "Thank you, thank you little...girl, I...will go and fry it now..."
"Wait, are you... sure... you don't want to take me there?" What else could she say besides knowing that the man was called the Third Master of the Qiu Family, that he was in a wheelchair, and that he seemed to have bad legs, hands, and eyesight?
So, what exactly did they want from her? Was she here to pay for the sins Zhao Hong had committed?
Yi Bo didn't notice Meng Qidi's distraction and said gently, "Follow me."
I followed Yi Bo to a small garden.
"Third Master, Miss Meng is here."
The man in the garden, who was bending over in a wheelchair fiddling with flowers, froze his hands for a moment. Then he sat up straight and turned his wheelchair around, smiling, "Xiao Qi is here?"
Meng Qidi's eyes flickered slightly, it seemed that these three people had forgotten one thing. They had never introduced themselves from beginning to end, but both the master and servant knew her. She might have investigated her.
Suppressing the thoughts in her mind, Meng Qidi asked, "Are you the Third Master?"
"Go ahead." Yi Bo smiled and pushed Meng Qidi.
Meng Qidi reluctantly took a few steps forward, and only when she got closer did she see the man's appearance clearly. He was very handsome, and...
Meng Qidi turned her head subconsciously. Yi Bo behind her had already left. Only then did she realize that she was somewhat similar to the Third Master.
Thinking back to the time when Xing Jinping had always asked her to recognize her relatives, and thinking about the present moment, she suddenly understood. Is it too late to leave now?
"Know me?"
When the Third Master's voice sounded, it was too late for Meng Qidi to leave. She nodded slightly, "I've heard of it."
Mr. Qiu turned his wheelchair and said, "Come with me. You are so smart, you should have guessed it, right?"
Meng Qidi's eyes flickered slightly, and she followed. She was already forced to do something, so how could she refuse?
Although this is a large estate, it has only a few houses, just two-story villas.
"The study is on the second floor. The second floor is the master bedroom, and there is your...my wife's favorite balcony swing."
Mr. Qiu paused and smiled bitterly, "I guess you don't like to hear these old stories from the past."
"I'm fine. Do I need you to push me?" Perhaps having guessed something, Meng Qidi unconsciously used the honorific.
Mr. Qiu was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Fearing that she would regret it, he nodded quickly, "Okay, it's a little heavy, you can't push it, I can do it myself."
"I'm strong, go over there?" Pushing Ling Xiao over, Meng Qidi pushed him very easily.
"Here, over here."
Meng Qidi pushed the wheelchair in the direction he pointed and glanced at him. Except for his legs, his hands and eyes seemed to be intact.
"How many years have you had this leg injury?"
"It's been almost twenty years, I'm used to it, don't worry." Master Xing San sighed, and his wife was also...
Meng Qidi was silent. Ling Xiao's leg had just been injured, and a lot of lotion had been consumed in healing it. His leg was probably beyond saving as it had been too long.
"It's good for me. I can't run because of my bad legs. I'm a burden. I should have been kept here. Otherwise, this garden would be ruined..."
Mr. Xing San's eyes looked a little melancholy, and when he looked at the house not far away, he changed the subject, "If you don't want to go in, go back. I can go alone."
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forced this girl to come here. Jin Ping had said before that she didn't want to...
he……
Don't force it...
