Chapter 114 Unprovoked Quarrel
Meng Yitong sat downstairs for a while, then found an excuse to go upstairs.
As soon as she entered the room, Meng Yitong saw Qin Zhuoran reading documents at his desk.
"Dad is so partial. He only calls me and not you."
Meng Yitong said with a complaining look on her face.
She and Qin Zhuoran had just come back together, and judging from their standing positions, Qin Zhuoran was clearly closer to them.
But it just so happened that Qin's father was able to bypass Qin Zhuoran and call him over directly.
"If you don't want to go, just say you have something to do."
Qin Zhuoran pinched Meng Yitong's little face to comfort her.
"How can that be? I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family. When guests come to visit, of course I have to go over and say hello."
Meng Yitong said indignantly.
At this moment, Meng Yitong's feelings were actually still very complicated.
She thought of her simple meeting party.
She didn't feel that way at the time, but thinking about it now, Meng Yitong feels more like a commodity waiting to be sold.
But these words cannot be said to Qin Zhuoran.
Because if you say it out loud, it becomes a kind of reluctance and coercion.
Even if Qin Zhuoran forced him to do it in order to appease his own emotions, this might still be a knot in his heart.
Once a grudge is formed, the two people may no longer be able to get along as happily as they do now.
At this moment, Meng Yitong was sober and rational.
Qin Zhuoran smiled when he heard this and didn't continue talking.
He liked the way Meng Yitong regarded herself as the future mistress of the Qin family.
Qin Zhuoran did not come downstairs during dinner. Seeing this, Meng Yitong simply stayed upstairs as well.
She originally wanted to act sensible, but Qin Zhuoran was not supportive.
In this situation, why should I put myself in a difficult position and go downstairs to deal with them?
Anyway, the relationship between me and them is just like that!
The fact that the two of them did not go downstairs to eat seemed to be commonplace to everyone in the Qin family.
When Zhang's father and mother saw this, although they had some complaints about it, they could only pretend that they didn't care.
That night, the three members of the Zhang family chatted at Qin's house until very late before going back.
It was also from this day that Zhang Jingyi began to frequently visit the Qin family. And her attitude became more and more like that of the mistress of the Qin family.
Her actions also made Meng Yitong very confused.
It's really annoying to have someone you don't like jumping around in front of you every day.
Before, when it was just Qin Chengze and Madam Qin, Meng Yitong's feelings weren't as strong.
After all, these two people, one talks little and the other is not good at speaking, but they can't get angry.
Every time Madam Qin was sarcastic to her, she would just retort bluntly and Madam Qin would have no choice but to cover her chest and shout "you, you, you".
As for Zhang Jingyi, she is not only eloquent, but also always likes to come over and make her presence felt in front of him.
Even when I was upstairs, she still had the audacity to come over.
Meng Yitong was really fed up with her.
On this day, Qin Zhuoran was on a business trip, and Meng Yitong had a rare chance to rest at home.
In fact, according to Meng Yitong's original workload, if Qin Zhuoran had not insisted on going out with her every day and picking her up and dropping her off at get off work, Meng Yitong would have only had to work two days a week.
Because of Qin Zhuoran's consideration, Meng Yitong had to live a nine-to-five life like everyone else.
And now, Qin Zhuoran is on a business trip, and Meng Yitong finally has the chance to slack off.
Just as Meng Yitong was enjoying the food, an uninvited guest appeared in front of her.
"Meng Yitong, it's already ten o'clock, why are you still eating?"
"Is this your breakfast or lunch?"
"I really envy you. It's great to change your major! Now you don't have to manage your body anymore."
"Look at you, you've gained so much weight and no one said anything. If you were still a dance major, Teacher Li would be so pissed off!"
As Zhang Jingyi spoke, she covered her lips and laughed.
Meng Yitong, who had a good appetite just now, instantly lost interest in eating after what she said.
Meng Yitong touched the flesh on her belly secretly without making any noise.
Have you really gained a lot of weight?
My weight obviously hasn't changed much, but my belly does seem to have become softer.
Just at this moment, Aunt Wang brought Meng Yitong another serving of ginseng steamed chicken.
After opening the lid of the casserole, Aunt Wang quickly served Meng Yitong a bowl of chicken soup.
Ever since the medicinal soup incident some time ago, Qin's father gave up the idea of letting Meng Yitong regulate her body according to the prescription.
But the tonic soup is something you have to drink. Fortunately, Meng Yitong is a greedy person. As long as the meals are normal, she doesn't mind eating small meals or eating more frequently.
For this reason, in addition to the main meals, the nutritionist at home also arranged three meals of nourishing soup for Meng Yitong a day.
It was originally just a very ordinary little thing, but it made Zhang Jingyi's eyes turn red.
She saw the ginseng in the steamed chicken.
That ginseng was bigger than the one her parents brought when they brought her to visit the Qin family.
The ginseng in their house was obtained by her mother from a friend after much effort.
A small piece of ginseng cost her mother a year's salary.
But such a precious gift is not as good as a casual snack from Meng Yitong.
Zhang Jingyi blushed when she thought that her family's year-long hard work was only enough to pay for Meng Yitong's meal.
Especially when she saw Meng Yitong only drank a small bowl and asked the cook to take the bowl away, Zhang Jingyi became even angrier.
"Meng Yitong, you are such a borer!!"
Meng Yitong was completely stunned when she heard this.
Although during this period, Zhang Jingyi was sarcastic to her from time to time.
But this was the first time that someone pointed at her nose and scolded her so blatantly.
Although she didn't know what happened to Zhang Jingyi, Meng Yitong still responded directly: "If you are sick, go get treatment. Why are you going crazy here?"
Zhang Jingyi sneered when she heard this: "Ha! I just feel annoyed when I see a waste like you who does nothing but waste money."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yitong couldn't help but look down at the tableware in front of her that was about to be removed.
Pursing her lips, Meng Yitong remained silent.
In fact, she feels more deeply about these things than Zhang Jingyi.
After all, she is the one who truly comes from the bottom of society.
When she first married into the Qin family, she was actually at a loss as to how to deal with their extravagance.
When did she begin to adapt?
Thinking about the hard days I had lived through, and then thinking about the full pot of ginseng steamed chicken that had just been served, which had hardly been touched.
For the first time, Meng Yitong began to seriously examine her own heart.
Is this kind of life really what you want?
What is the difference between myself now and those rich people who were greedy, selfish and self-centered that I once hated?
