Chapter 33 - II
Jiang Sining asked, “Why don’t you say anything?”
She looked at Xie Qi’s expression and seemed to understand something. She dropped her clothes and ran to Xie Qi’s room. She opened the closet and saw that it was full of neatly hung designer clothes. Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, all the clothes for every season and more.
There was also a corner of a shoebox exposed under the bed. She leaned over and saw the big logo outside; she could tell that they were all expensive brand-name shoes.
Xie Qi chased her to the door and saw that her expression was getting worse and worse, and he became nervous rarely. “Mom…”
Jiang Sining said sadly: “You almost recognize her as your mother.”
Xie Qi: “…No, you are still my mother. I think you should dress up now.”
Jiang Sining endured it but couldn’t help but say: “She went too far. She threw away all the clothes I bought, right? Those sweaters and down jackets cost thousands! My money didn’t come from nothing. Why do rich people look down on others just like your father?”
Xie Qi thought to himself that it was indeed too much. He had worn those clothes for several years and had feelings for them.
Alas, the more he got along with her, the more he felt the domineering and powerful side of Yao Wenzhu.
No wonder Qin Yizhi also behaved like this. After all, he was raised by Yao Wenzhi since he was a child, how could he be any different?
Jiang Sining also knew that she had benefited from others, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit angry. Now she finally understood that her son would be married off like a daughter to someone else’s family, and his mother-in-law would also be his mother.
Never mind, she better not think too much about it.
Jiang Sining was not in the mood to change anymore, so she went to meet people with Xie Qi in casual everyday clothes.
Jiang Sining was a wife of a wealthy man before, so she didn’t panic seeing the grand hotel. She followed the waiter into the private room, looked at the time, and saw that there was only about ten minutes difference between the scheduled time, so she was there on time.
However, Qin Yizhi and Yao Wenzhu were more stressed than them. When the minute hand of the box clock turned to 12, the waiter opened the door and invited Qin Yizhi and Yao Wenzhu to come in.
Jiang Sining turned to Xie Qi and whispered softly: “They almost didn’t arrive on time.”
Xie Qi: “…Shh.”
He almost covered Jiang Sining’s mouth with his hand.
Jiang Sining stopped talking and looked at the two expressionlessly.
.
Qin Yizhi held a gift box in his hand, and his expression was still stern, but as he got closer, Jiang Sining noticed his outstanding height and appearance.
He was very tall, standing at 1.93 meters, with good body proportions, wide shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. His chest and shoulders were covered with just the right amounts of muscles. He wore a well-tailored suit, which accentuated his tall stature even more. Despite his cold expression, his handsome face exuded dignity and strength.
He looked like a man with a strong personality.
Jiang Sining knew Qin Yizhi was a handsome guy, but she didn’t expect him to be so handsome and was stunned for a moment.
When Qin Yizhi approached her and presented the gift box, she came back to her senses. Her unhappy mood immediately softened, and she said embarrassedly: “Oh, why did you give me a gift when we first met? I didn’t prepare anything.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Qin Yizhi’s tone was unexpectedly soft and kind: “I was very busy back then, and I never came to see you. I hope you can forgive me.”
Jiang Sining was even more flattered, “Well, it doesn’t matter. Our family is under your care, and so is my family’s Qiqi.”
Qin Yizhi glanced at Xie Qi, then looked back at Jiang Sining, “We are all a family from now on, and we should support and take care of each other. If you need something in the future, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you.”
Xie Qi thought, no wonder Jiang Sining softened all of sudden. After all, Qin Yizhi had the face of a very handsome man and his attitude could be so friendly. Naturally there would be no psychological vigilance against a good handsome man.
However, Xie Qi never expected that Qin Yizhi would talk to Jiang Sining so kindly, almost in a subtle way to please her.
Uh, pleasing his mother? Was this necessary? He thought it was just a formality, but Qin Yizhi wanted to deepen his relationship with Jiang Sining?
He really didn’t understand this man.
.
Yao Wenzhu noticed Xie Qi’s puzzled expression and asked strangely: “What’s wrong with Qiqi? Are you feeling unwell?”
Feeling guilty of staring, a thin blush suddenly appeared on his fair cheeks. Xie Qi put down his hand and said in a dry voice: “No.”
Qin Yizhi’s eyes also fell on him, seeing that he was pretending to be calm but his face was almost red, “…let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
He said and looked away, not looking at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi could hardly say anything in this meeting. Jiang Sining was talking to Qin Yizhi like a machine gun, but Qin Yizhi actually answered them one by one. He was really very patient.
Xie Qi couldn’t help but think the man wasn’t so kind when he usually talked to him, right? He usually replied in short sentences or even didn’t answer.
This gap was quite big, and it was difficult for Xie Qi not noticing the subtle differences.
He lowered his eyes and thinking, not paying any attention to Qin Yizhi’s eyes which kept falling on him from time to time; looking at his hair or looking at the long eyelashes in his lowered eyes, or his body with fine beads of sweat on his nose bridge. The man also asked the waiter to lower the air conditioner.
.
After dinner was over, Yao Wenzhu pulled Jiang Sining to talk and asked Qin Yizhi to send Xie Qi back.
Jiang Sining didn’t have any objections.
Qin Yizhi sent Xie Qi out of the hotel door. Xie Qi endured the whole process and finally only two of them were left. He couldn’t hold back and asked Qin Yizhi directly: “Are you in a good mood today?”
Qin Yizhi paused for a moment, then replied: “That’s right.”
Xie Qi’s face was quiet, but the words that came out of his mouth were not calm, “I saw you spoke so nicely to my mother. Almost like trying to get on her good side.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
His eyes fell on Xie Qi’s face. The young man pursed his lips slightly, and the golden eyes that looked at him inadvertently revealed a bit of confusion. It seemed that he was struggling with something. He probably wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if he didn’t get an answer.
Qin Yizhi paused and then said: “I think all sons-in-law are afraid of their mother-in-law.”
Xie Qi: “…”
It seemed… to be true?
But this was the first time Xie Qi saw someone said this with a cold face.
Xie Qi asked: “Then, are you afraid?”
Qin Yizhi still said calmly: “Not afraid.”
Xie Qi: =.=
