Chapter 8 She Comes Home Late, He Needs an Explanation
Cheng Qian stopped and looked sideways at the car.
"Mrs. Ji, this place is far from the exit. Please take my car." Ji Yichen suggested.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Thank you!"
Cheng Qian opened the car door and got in.
Not far away, in a business car, a pair of cold eyes stared at the Maybach with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, do you want to continue following?" Assistant Wang Rui was also shocked.
The wife drove to the airport late at night just for a man, and now she even got into the man's car.
Wang Rui felt the air pressure in the car dropped to zero. Will President Li rush over and catch the male mistress?
"Go home!" The man's proud self-esteem did not allow him to get out of the car.
Based on his understanding of Cheng Qian, she would not have the courage to do such shameless behavior.
Maybe he should go home and wait for her to explain herself.
At the airport exit, Cheng Qian was wearing a khaki windbreaker and had thick, long, black hair gathered loosely to one side. She had no dazzling jewelry on her body except for a pair of pink pearl earrings on her earlobes.
Her eyes were looking towards the exit, and at that moment, a crowd of people were rushing out.
Ji Yichen stood beside her, and his initial focus was on the direction where the crowd was coming from.
But after waiting for a while, his eyes were gradually attracted by the woman next to him.
Among all the rich ladies he had met, Cheng Qian was the one who looked the least like a rich lady.
She has no expensive jewelry, no million-dollar handbags, no top-of-the-line high heels or custom-made clothes.
If it weren't for the noble temperament on her face, it would be hard to associate her with the wife of the richest man.
Ji Yichen stood behind Cheng Qian, and where she couldn't see him, he looked at her with a slightly wanton look.
But at this moment, Cheng Qian was pushed by an old lady next to her and couldn't stand steadily for a while.
The whole person was forced to take a few steps back, and his back accidentally touched the solid chest of the man behind him.
"Be careful..." Ji Yichen almost instinctively reached out to support her waist to prevent her from falling.
Cheng Qian turned back awkwardly and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, there are too many people."
"It's okay, let's stand back for a while, there's no rush. My dad takes his time, so he'll definitely be the last to come out."
Hearing this, Cheng Qian lowered her head and laughed: "Really? I had almost forgotten Uncle Ji's character."
Ji Yichen wanted to say something, but he saw the woman in front of him lowering her eyebrows and smiling. Her clean and clear eyes were like glittering amber, with an indescribable beauty.
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Xiao Qian."
When Cheng Qian heard this long-lost call, she turned around in surprise and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes striding towards her from the crowd.
"Uncle Ji..." Cheng Qian walked over happily holding the flowers: "Long time no see."
Ji Nan looked at the graceful woman in front of him and said with a sigh: "I haven't been back for so many years. You have grown up and become so beautiful. You look a lot like your mother."
While Ji Nan was speaking, he did not forget to hand the box in his hand to his son who was waiting beside him. He then freed his hands and reached out to hold the bouquet of flowers that Cheng Qian had brought him.
When Ji Yichen took the box, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He knew that his father's biggest regret was that he didn't have a daughter in this life.
Now when he sees Cheng Qian, how can he still see the existence of his son?
I was just chatting with Cheng Qian.
Ji Nan anxiously followed Cheng Qian's life in the years since she lost her parents. He was deeply relieved to learn that she had never given up on taking over her parents' work.
"Dad, we're going in the wrong direction." Outside the airport gate, Ji Nan and Cheng Qian were chatting without knowing the direction until a big hand grabbed his sleeve.
Ji Nan suddenly remembered that he had a son next to him.
Ji Nan introduced with a smile: "Xiao Qian, you have already met my son. From now on, you can call him Big Brother."
Cheng Qian was stunned and looked at Ji Yichen, a hint of shyness flashed across her pretty face.
Ji Yichen did not miss the shyness that flashed across her face, which was as gorgeous as peach blossoms blooming in the spring breeze.
"I have no objection." Ji Yichen was the first to speak: "To have such an outstanding sister, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."
"Stop talking nonsense." Ji Nan scolded lightly: "Xiao Qian, I heard that you got an investment to revitalize your father's research lab. How has it been going recently?"
Cheng Qian said bitterly, "This is a long story. Uncle Ji, let's talk about it in the restaurant. I see you must be tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time."
"Okay!" Ji Nan didn't rush to ask.
"Uncle Ji, I drove here. You go to the restaurant first, I'll be there soon." Cheng Qian separated from the father and son of the Ji family on the side of the road.
When Cheng Qian arrived at the restaurant, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
But in order to welcome Ji Nan, Ji Yichen still ordered a table of food. Cheng Qian hurried upstairs, but her cell phone rang at this time.
Cheng Qian took a look and saw that it was Li Zhinan calling.
"Hello!" Cheng Qian said in a faint voice.
"Son misses you. When will you come back?" The man's voice was low and cold.
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I might not be back until very late, so please take care of Xiaoye first."
"So late?" the man asked in a questioning tone, "Is there something important?"
"Yes, it's a very important matter." As Cheng Qian was speaking, she heard Ji Nan calling her from outside the box: "Xiao Qian, this way."
Cheng Qian saw Ji Nan and immediately hung up the phone.
During the meal, Cheng Qian told Ji Nan about the situation in the laboratory.
Ji Nan slammed the table hard, splashing the tea in the cup.
"Cheng Zhifei, that bandit, I never thought he'd even gotten the Li family's investment. I guess he was the one who suggested taking over your father's lab behind the scenes. He's such a sinister villain, his face is etched with a thick abacus."
Ji Yichen sat next to her, drinking tea quietly and looking at Cheng Qian thoughtfully.
She has been talking for so long, why hasn't she mentioned her marriage with Li Zhinan?
Is this some secret?
"Xiao Qian, it's right for you to resign. Stand firm in your position and show your attitude. If you have the chance, you must prove to everyone that Cheng Zhifei is a mean-spirited person with a vicious face and ugly greed." Ji Nan was heartbroken. What happened back then was still vivid in his mind.
Cheng Qian's eyes reddened, and she suppressed her sadness and grievances, and said firmly: "I will, I will definitely work hard to prove it all."
"Yi Chen, I want to adopt Xiao Qian as my daughter. Do you have any objection?" Ji Nan had this idea before, but Cheng Qian was the little princess of the Cheng family, and it was not easy for him to take her away.
Today, the glorious past of the Cheng family has become history, and Cheng Qian is all alone, which makes him really worried. In addition, Chengjia Biological has a strong background, which makes Cheng Qian's situation even more difficult.
Ji Nan would never let his good friend Yu Gu suffer any unfair treatment.
"Dad, I have no objection." Ji Yichen raised his glass and said to Cheng Qian, "Should I call you Sister Xiao Qian?"
Cheng Qian's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Uncle Ji, thank you for your kindness. I'm married now, so there's no need for me to recognize my relatives. I just hope that I'll have the opportunity to ask Uncle Ji for advice on work in the future."
Ji Nan was surprised: "Are you married?"
Cheng Qian nodded: "Yes, I got married a year after my parents left."
Ji Nan frowned and asked worriedly, "What's your husband's family background like? Is he a good person? Is he good to you?"
Cheng Qian's face turned sad and she quickly glanced at Ji Yichen.
Didn’t Ji Yichen mention her situation to Uncle Ji?
Thinking about the divorce dilemma she was facing, Cheng Qian really didn't want to tell Ji Nan about this bad marriage to avoid adding to her worries.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ji, I'm doing well." Cheng Qian forced a smile.
"Cough..." Ji Yichen choked on the tea for some reason and coughed twice.
Ji Nan turned around and glanced at him: "What a loser! He can even choke while drinking tea."
Ji Yichen: “…”
Ji Nan glanced at the time and said to Cheng Qian, "Xiao Qian, your uncle has returned to China and will live there permanently. If you've resigned, that's perfect. Come and join your uncle. I'm currently collaborating with several foreign biotechnology companies. This time, I've returned to China at the invitation of a government department to seek a pilot program in China. I need your help."
Cheng Qian was delighted: "Okay, thank you Uncle Ji, I'm willing to come and work."
Ji Nan nodded with relief: "It's getting late, you should go back early."
When Ji Nan learned that Cheng Qian was married, he didn't want her to come home late and urged her to go home quickly.
After saying goodbye to the Ji family father and son, Cheng Qian drove home.
It was already eleven o'clock when I got home.
The lights outside the villa have dimmed.
Cheng Qian walked lightly into the living room.
"Don't you want to explain?" A cold male voice came from the sofa in the living room.
Cheng Qian paused and saw a red dot flashing on the sofa. It was the cigarette in the man's hand.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Cheng Qian asked him with a frown.
The man stretched out his arm and turned on the switch next to him, and the surrounding wall lights lit up.
The tall figure stood up from the sofa and approached indifferently: "I'm not waiting for you."
Cheng Qian was stunned, she didn't think so.
"I'm a little tired, let me go upstairs to rest first." After saying this, Cheng Qian walked upstairs.
"Number 20!" The man suddenly said a number.
Cheng Qian had already walked upstairs and stood in the middle of the stairs, looking down at him.
The dim light fell into the man's deep and dark eyes, and seemed to emit a faint cold light.
"What?" Cheng Qian asked.
Li Zhinan said in a cold voice: "When your relatives come."
Cheng Qian was stunned. Why did this man remember this?
"So, you didn't have a good time, right?" Thinking of being rejected by her one after another, Li Zhinan's face became even uglier.
Cheng Qian had no obligation to explain this to him. She said calmly, "It seems you still don't understand women's cycles."
After saying that, Cheng Qian continued to walk upstairs, leaving the man with a stiff expression.
After taking a bath and kissing her son's little face, Cheng Qian fell asleep.
One o'clock in the morning!
The light in the study was still on, and the man resting with his eyes closed in the black leather chair received a message.
The content of the text message shows that the owner of the Maybach is Fang Chi.
The man frowned, and a hint of anger rose in his dark eyes.
That good-for-nothing playboy from the Fang family?
