Chapter 106 It turns out that it was all acted out
Cheng Qian's mood improved a little because of the son in her arms.
When Jiang Meng saw her son's actions, she showed a puzzled expression.
Just now she saw her eldest son and Cheng Yan flirting in the side hall, looking like a couple.
Now that Cheng Qian is back, her son seems to be leaning towards her again.
Cheng Qian went upstairs with her son in her arms. Downstairs, the guests were already at the table eating.
After Cheng Qian put her son down, she went to the locker room and found a piece of home clothes to change into.
She was halfway through changing when she heard the door being pushed open.
"Dad..." Ono shouted happily.
Cheng Qian paused and looked back towards the bedroom.
He picked up his son with his tall body and kissed his little face.
Cheng Qian walked out of the dressing room, and Li Zhinan's deep eyes flickered on her face: "I thought you really weren't coming back."
"No!" Cheng Qian said calmly, "Since I promised to play the role of a good wife, I must do what I say."
Li Zhinan wanted to see her guilty conscience from her indifferent expression.
But her beautiful face was as calm as water, as if this was her true feelings.
"You came back just to avoid embarrassing me?" Li Zhinan asked unwillingly.
Cheng Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't be too greedy. My ability to rush back proves that I value the agreement we signed."
Li Zhinan felt like he was punched in the heart and felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"Let's go downstairs and eat. Don't keep everyone waiting." After saying this, Li Zhinan turned around and hugged his son to go out.
now!
Outside the door, a figure quickly went down the stairs next to it.
After Cheng Yan came downstairs, her expression showed a hint of surprise.
She just went upstairs to use the bathroom, but she heard a conversation between two people inside the door that was not closed tightly.
They are acting.
Play a loving couple.
Cheng Yan finally understood why the two of them appeared together at the Chu family a few days ago, giving the impression that they had a good relationship.
It turns out that it was all acted out.
The knot that had been bothering Cheng Yan for days was finally untied. She immediately picked up a glass of red wine and took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.
When Cheng Qian and Li Zhinan went downstairs, everyone looked at them.
One of the elders from the Li family had a few drinks and asked Cheng Qian with a smile, "It's Zhinan's birthday. What birthday gift did you prepare for him?"
A cousin next to him also became curious: "Are you planning to have a second child?"
When Cheng Qian heard the word "second child", she looked up at the man next to her.
Li Zhinan pursed his lips and said nothing, but just smiled: "Cousin, have a couple more drinks."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Cheng Yan's eyes as she watched Cheng Qian acting with interest.
She deliberately wore the skirt she wore when she saved Li Zhinan last time today, just to deepen Li Zhinan's memory of her.
Cheng Qian came back in such a hurry that she didn't pay attention to what Cheng Yan was wearing.
At this moment, when she walked to the table and sat down, she saw the skirt on Cheng Yan.
I remember that it was a birthday gift given to her by the elders of the Cheng family. It seemed to be a high-end custom-made style. Cheng Qian was young at that time and she also liked these beautiful things, so she specially wrote down the style of this skirt.
Cheng Qian sneered in her heart, thinking that Cheng Yan had deliberately come through just to show it to Li Zhinan.
The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere and everyone enjoyed the drinks to their heart's content.
Cheng Qian also drank two cups, and a few bright pink blushes appeared on her fair face.
In the eyes of those who care, she looks very charming.
Chu Huaijing's fingers holding the wine glass tightened again and again, and he thought he must be crazy.
However, his friend's wife caught his attention.
He tried his best to restrain himself from looking at the woman opposite him.
But the eyes seem to have their own ideas. The more you try not to look, the more secretly you look.
Ji Yichen, who was sitting next to Chu Huaijing, also looked a little depressed.
Especially when seeing everyone toasting Li Zhinan, they would also toast Cheng Qian.
They are one as husband and wife.
Ji Yichen was drunk. He leaned back in his chair and when he closed his eyes, the cute photo of Cheng Qian as a child appeared in his mind unnaturally.
In her hazy eyes, she overlapped her childhood and her present self, which was like a gust of wind that hit Ji Yichen's heart, and an indescribable emotion entangled him.
Today, although Cheng Yan wanted to steal the limelight from Cheng Qian, the hostess, she still couldn't cover up Cheng Qian's legitimate identity as the wife.
She performed for a few times, but suddenly felt bored, and all she heard were compliments.
Especially the sentence: "Cheers to you two"
It even hurt Cheng Yan's nerves.
Jiang Meng and the old lady were here today. Although Cheng Yan was feeling irritable and wanted to drink a few more glasses, she still restrained herself and did not get drunk. She behaved gently and intellectually.
Xia Mengjiao and her husband came with their child. The child was very noisy, so Xia Mengjiao was taking care of him all the time.
Now, she finally had time to come and chat with Cheng Qian.
"Sister-in-law, let's sit in the side hall and let Auntie make me a glass of juice." Xia Mengjiao came over and suggested.
Cheng Qian smiled and nodded, and the two of them took Xiao Ye and went to the side hall.
Jiang Meng looked at the two of them, with a hint of doubt on his face.
When did the relationship between the eldest and second daughter-in-law become so good?
In the past, didn’t they always compete with each other in everything?
As soon as she arrived at the side hall, Xia Mengjiao lowered her voice and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, are you angry with brother again today?"
Cheng Qian was stunned. She couldn't deceive Xia Mengjiao's eyes.
She laughed at herself and looked down at the floor: "How did you figure that out?"
Xia Mengjiao rolled her eyes at her: "Do I even need to see this? Just compare how you performed in the past two years and you'll know."
Cheng Qian knew that she couldn't hide it from Xia Mengjiao. She was an actress and was naturally sensitive.
"At first I wanted to vent my anger, but then I thought it through and rushed back." Cheng Qian said bitterly.
"If you don't come back, some people will take advantage of it. Sister-in-law, sometimes, you should not be too kind-hearted. People are bullying you and if you don't fight back, they will think you are a sick cat and will be even more arrogant in the future." Xia Mengjiao is a person of action. If anyone dares to hook up with Li Zhishi, Xia Mengjiao will directly kill him.
Cheng Qian began to admire student Xia Mengjiao's temper. In fact, it is normal for people to have temper.
"Mengjiao, what you said makes sense." Cheng Qian nodded with a smile.
"Then you must not be a coward anymore, otherwise, I will look down on you." Xia Meng whispered in her ear in a coquettish tone, "People need to be tougher. I know that my sister-in-law has a gentle personality and is not suitable to be a shrew, but when people go crazy, the world will be quiet."
Cheng Qian was immediately amused.
Xia Mengjiao looked at Cheng Qian in amazement: "Sister-in-law, why don't you just change your career and come to the entertainment industry? Cool and aloof female stars like you are very popular recently."
"Don't be funny, I just want to do my job well." Cheng Qian's originally depressed mood was cured by Xia Mengjiao.
At the dining table in the main living room, Cheng Yan stared towards the side hall with resentment.
Although she couldn't see what was happening over there, she seemed to hear Cheng Qian's happy laughter.
Her heart sank. The relationship between Xia Mengjiao and Cheng Qian suddenly improved, which was not a good thing for her.
Should she do something?
