Chapter 225: Father-in-law
Chi Shuyan hung up and saw that the man, who had originally been on the phone outside, had walked in at some point and was sitting on the sofa, staring at her. “Who called?”
Chi Shuyan blurted out, “My dad!”
Seeing the man’s gloomy expression brighten, Chi Shuyan was helpless. Was this man jealous of her father?
When Qi Zhenbai learned that it was a call from his father-in-law, his expression was very good. He suddenly said, “Why didn’t you let me speak to Father-in-law for a bit?”
Chi Shuyan was very glad that she had hung up in time. If this man really answered the phone, it would be over.
Qi Zhenbai saw through her thoughts and his face suddenly sank again. “Is dating me so shameful?”
Chi Shuyan rolled her eyes. “How long have we known each other? We can take it slow! Besides, I’m still young. Do you think my dad will be at ease if I suddenly fall in love?” Of course, she had lived an entire lifetime and naturally didn’t think she was young. She just wanted an excuse.
Qi Zhenbai, on the other hand, was obviously still unreconciled. He could only take a step back, but he couldn’t help but say, “Haven’t we known each other for long enough? Other people get engaged and married, and conceive a child within a month!”
Chi Shuyan very much suspected that this man was making things up. Even if something like that did happen, it was very rare. This man had inexplicably set her up before, so Chi Shuyan was smart now and didn’t respond to him. She got up and indicated that she wanted to take a shower.
But before she could go to the bathroom, the man in front of her couldn’t help but ask, “When will you go see my family?”
Did this man have to be in such a hurry? He didn’t look that old either. Didn’t they say that women were usually the ones in a hurry?
“It just so happens that you have yet to collect your future mother-in-law’s jewelry and grandmother’s jewelry!” Qi Zhenbai said expressionlessly.
Chi Shuyan stumbled when she heard the man’s words, but she didn’t stop and almost immediately went back to her room to take a shower.
The next day, Chi Shuyan went to Feng Yuanlin’s place again. His girlfriend was already much better, but her expression was still a bit frightened and pale.
Chi Shuyan hadn’t noticed it before, but this time, she specially observed the woman in front of her. She had to admit that this woman was indeed very beautiful, or else she wouldn’t have been able to become a star.
But when she saw what the woman was wearing around her neck, and the two children sprawled on her back and shoulders, her pupils shrank slightly. The two children suddenly disappeared, as if frightened when they saw Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan looked at the unaware woman in front of her with a deep expression in her eyes, and then at Feng Yuanlin, who was cuckolded and still looked concerned about the woman in front of him, and was even more speechless.
She was very good at reading people. Feng Yuanlin, this man, should be a responsible person. It was unlikely that he would let his girlfriend abort the baby, so those two children were probably the children of the woman in front of him with another man.
She just didn’t know if this man, Feng Yuanlin, knew of his girlfriend’s past love history and if he minded if she had had abortions before.
Qin Qing always felt that this girl’s eyes were too sharp, so sharp they were unbearable. Seeing the Ninth Master of the Qi family in front of her, panic flashed in Qin Qing’s eyes, but thinking that this person probably wouldn’t delve into past scandals, Qin Qing heaved a sigh of relief. With a smile, she said to Chi Shuyan, “Thank you so much for yesterday! Miss Chi, Yuanlin told me last night how serious the matter was. Fortunately, you were here!”
In Chi Shuyan’s opinion, no matter how much the woman in front of her smiled, it was fake. In fact, Qin Qing was indeed very grateful to Chi Shuyan, but when she thought about how her hideous appearance last night had been seen by other people, especially by her boyfriend and the Ninth Master of the Qi family, Qin Qing inexplicably felt angry.
