Chapter 143 Cheng Qian, can we start over?
Cheng Guoren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and quickly invited the father and daughter to the table.
"Uncle, why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?" Cheng Yan didn't know anything yet and thought it was just a simple meal.
Cheng Guoren immediately poured the wine, holding the wine glass, and looked at Cheng Yan anxiously: "Xiaoyan, this time, you must help your uncle, otherwise, your uncle will have no face to go home."
Cheng Yan didn't understand what was going on and asked curiously, "Uncle, what happened to you?"
Cheng Guoren then told the father and daughter what had happened today, adding fuel to the fire.
Cheng Yan's face turned ugly when she heard that her cousin was using her reputation to bully others in the company.
After hearing the whole story, Cheng Yan's face turned pale and she said angrily, "Uncle, is this how you ruined my reputation in the company?"
Cheng Zhifei was startled when he saw his daughter suddenly get angry, and hurriedly advised: "Your uncle is also proud of you, don't be angry."
"Dad, I won't eat this meal today." Cheng Yan stood up and said, "Uncle, I can't help you with your problem. Also, don't talk nonsense about me and Zhinan in public anymore."
"Xiaoyan, why don't you help me? I'm your uncle." Cheng Guoren was angry, depressed and disappointed.
Cheng Yan sneered: "Because you have ruined my reputation, there is no reason for me to help you."
"Aren't you and Mr. Li dating? How have I been corrupted?" Cheng Guoren was confused.
"Let's not talk about how others looked at me before his divorce. Now that he's divorced, no one will look up to me anymore. After all, I'm still a shameless woman who was a third party." Cheng Yan's eyes turned red with anger. She had spent the whole night in the hospital and her eyes were swollen. She didn't expect that her family would use her reputation to mess around in the company. Cheng Yan really wanted to kick out these idiots who were holding her back.
"Xiaoyan, I..."
Cheng Yan said coldly: "I won't plead for you, you brought this upon yourself."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and strode away.
Cheng Zhifei was also angry after hearing his daughter's words: "Guoren, what did you do? Xiaoyan values her reputation the most, and you dare to do this?"
"Brother, I..." Cheng Guoren suddenly became short of breath and could not speak.
"Forget about begging for mercy. I'll arrange another job for you." Cheng Zhifei said unhappily.
When Cheng Yan learned about the trouble her cousin had caused, she called Li Zhinan immediately.
Hearing the man's deep voice, Cheng Yan hurriedly apologized: "Zhi Nan, I'm sorry, I heard about my cousin. He has caused such a negative impact on the company. You are right to fire him."
"You don't blame me?" Li Zhinan asked her calmly.
"How could that be? Your decision is wise and brilliant. I can only applaud you." Cheng Yan said gently and sensibly.
"Cheng Yan, keep a good eye on the people on your side from now on. Don't say anything you shouldn't." Li Zhinan reminded her.
Cheng Yan was shocked. In fact, she made this call with a tentative intention.
At this moment, she felt indescribable loss and sadness in her heart.
Li Zhinan didn't give her any face at all and fired his cousin just like that. Cheng Yan was disappointed.
"Zhi Nan, I'm sorry. I didn't expect them to talk nonsense outside. Don't worry, I will regulate the words and deeds of the people on my side and will not cause you any trouble." Cheng Yan's voice was gentle and self-blaming.
Li Zhinan hummed: "I knew you were very sensible, Cheng Yan, I will not change my decision about your uncle's matter."
"Well, Zhinan, where are you now? I haven't had dinner yet, can we..."
"I'm taking care of the children and don't have time. You should find someone else." Li Zhinan said and hung up the phone.
Cheng Yan swallowed the words she hadn't finished speaking back in frustration.
She sat in the car, feeling anxious and angry. She clenched her fists and punched the steering wheel twice.
Cheng Qian came back just as it was getting dark.
It was Ji Yichen who drove her to her doorstep.
"Xiao Qian, take these things. There are gifts for the children, and some gifts from our partners." Ji Yichen got out of the car and took a lot of things out of the trunk for her.
"Thank you. I'll go back first." Cheng Qian expressed her gratitude and was about to leave after picking up her things.
"Hey, wait a minute..." Ji Yichen suddenly stopped her.
Cheng Qian was stunned.
Ji Yichen reached out and plucked a leaf that had just fallen from her hair: "It's late autumn, and the leaves have all fallen."
Cheng Qian glanced down and saw that it was indeed the season of falling leaves. She didn't think much about it, but just smiled at Ji Yichen, turned around, and walked briskly towards the courtyard.
Although it was only a short day, she really missed her son.
Cheng Qian quickened her pace, knowing that she would soon see his cute little figure.
In front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, a pair of deep eyes watched everything happening outside the courtyard gate.
Seeing Cheng Qian happily say goodbye to Ji Yichen, seeing the green tea guy reach out to pick the fallen leaves on her head, seeing her gently accept the gift he gave her, he also thoughtfully sent her home.
These scenes were all things that Li Zhinan once disdained.
A woman's heart is as soft as water, and she likes to feel her love in the details.
Has Ji Yichen's caring for everyone opened the door of Cheng Qian's closed heart?
When Cheng Qian returned home, she saw her son playing at the coffee table in the living room on the first floor.
Hearing footsteps, he looked back and shouted happily: "Mom, Mom is back."
Cheng Qian put down her things, picked up her son and kissed him non-stop.
"Woo woo..." The little guy was very happy just now, but now, he burst into tears for no reason.
Seeing her crying, Cheng Qian felt both distressed and amused. This was the nature of children. When they saw their mother, they would cry three times, no matter what.
At this moment, Cheng Qian only felt that her son's pouting little mouth and tearful look were a manifestation of his dependence on her.
"Xiao Ye, what's wrong?" At some point, a tall and slender figure came down the stairs.
Xiaoye wrapped his little hands tightly around Cheng Qian's neck, buried his head and cried for a while before stopping.
Cheng Qian glanced at the man who was walking over and gently soothed the child's emotions: "Xiao Ye, Uncle Li bought you a gift, do you want to see it?"
"Really?" Xiao Ye, whose eyes were still filled with tears, suddenly brightened up: "I want to see it."
Cheng Qian put him down and came over. The little guy's expression when he grabbed the gift was happy and proud.
The man standing next to him with his arms folded across his chest had a cold look in his eyes.
Ji Yichen is so anxious to please his son, could it be that he really wants to replace him?
"Wow, this is my favorite robot puppy. Xiaobai, Xiaohei, come here quickly, you have friends." Xiaoye held the robot puppy, turned around in place, and then ran towards the two puppies playing not far away.
Seeing how happy her son was, Cheng Qian's face was filled with a gentle smile.
"Did the business negotiation go smoothly this time?" Li Zhinan didn't want to be ignored, so he spoke to break the silence.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Everything went smoothly."
"Then has there been any breakthrough in the development of your relationship with Ji Yichen?" Li Zhinan knew that he shouldn't be jealous, but he couldn't help it. He just wanted to know what they did last night.
Cheng Qian looked at him strangely: "Thank you for your concern, but this is my personal matter, I have no comment."
After saying that, Cheng Qian was about to carry her things upstairs. Li Zhinan's slender figure followed her silently to the second floor.
Cheng Qian looked back at him and said, "Go and accompany the children. Don't follow me."
Li Zhinan felt even more confused when he saw her cold expression.
He suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked in a questioning tone: "Why was he the one who answered your phone this morning?"
Cheng Qian looked down at her wrist, which he was holding tightly. She said angrily, "This is my own business. I don't need to tell you."
"You slept together last night, didn't you?" Li Zhinan's eyes suddenly turned red, as if something had shattered in an instant. He stared at her fiercely: "You just slept together after the divorce, Cheng Qian, how could you be so careless?"
Cheng Qian didn't like his aggressive tone. She coldly shook off his arm and said, "I don't need to explain anything to you, Li Zhinan. I just did what you did before. What? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing that she didn't explain and instead mentioned something that happened in the past, Li Zhinan immediately became angry and said, "Cheng Yan and I are innocent. We don't have any ambiguous relationship. You are even worse than me."
Cheng Qian sneered: "No, I can't compare to you. You cheated on your wife, and I am single now. You trampled on the moral bottom line, but I didn't."
Li Zhinan felt as if struck by lightning and choked instantly.
"Cheng Xi, I'm overthinking it, right?" Li Zhinan let go of her hand and took two steps forward: "Nothing has ever happened between you and him. You just want to piss me off and make me crazy and jealous, right?"
Cheng Qian looked at him strangely: "Li Zhinan, why are you pretending to be so affectionate here? Have you ever loved me? You're just saying ridiculous things like being crazy and jealous."
Li Zhinan was hit again. He stared blankly at the indifferent and heartless woman in front of him.
"Cheng Qian, Ji Yichen has had his eyes on you for a long time. He is trying every possible way to trick you into his arms. Believe me, men are all lustful at first sight. They don't want to fall in love with someone, they just want to conquer them. Don't jump into his trap easily, okay?" Li Zhinan reminded her resentfully.
People really laugh when they are speechless, and Cheng Qian laughed at this moment.
"Li Zhinan, take care of yourself. What qualifications do you have to judge others?" Cheng Qian didn't want to hear him say these words at all. His mind was too dark.
Li Zhinan was confronted, and his handsome face turned red and blue.
He seemed to have trouble managing his emotions, so he let them run rampant. He stared at Cheng Qian's pretty face absentmindedly: "Cheng Qian, you just asked me if I loved you before, and I didn't know. But when the misunderstanding was resolved, I found that you are a very good wife."
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, then she said calmly: "Thank you for your positive comments."
Seeing that she was no longer as cold as before, Li Zhinan moved closer: "You were so obsessed with me before, and I seem to be a little obsessed with the feeling back then. Cheng Qian, can we start over?"
