Chapter 199: Not missing a single opportunity
“This time, thanks to Miss Meng, Ye’er. You should thank her properly; I may not understand what young people like, but Ye’er has been back in the country for a while longer than Miss Meng. If you don’t mind, he should spend more time with you.” Jin Lan’s voice came from the living room, reaching Qin Youxuan’s ears directly.
Jin Lan’s words were all but full of compliments and closeness towards Meng Ziqi. The flattery was obvious.
She is in such a hurry to play matchmaker for her son, not missing any opportunity.
Qin Youxuan gave a cold smile.
“Auntie, you’re being too polite. Just call me Ziqi…”
Qin Youxuan could no longer stand this pretentious conversation and took big steps into the living room, shouting the moment she opened her mouth.
Her eyes fell on Jin Lan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and she was momentarily taken aback.
Jin Chenye’s eyes flashed and he stood up from the sofa in a hurry, but his arm was grabbed by Jin Lan.
With a gritting of her teeth, Jin Lan said, “Ye’er, have you lost your mind? Miss Meng is here, why are you running to this village girl?!”
“Did you forget who’s to blame for me sitting in this wheelchair? I don’t believe in any coincidences. It must be this wicked girl who instigated the revenge!”
The hatred in his mother’s eyes made the light in Jin Chenye’s eyes grow dimmer bit by bit.
“Youxuan, you’re back.” Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Meng Ziqi hurriedly stepped forward and took Qin Youxuan’s hand. “I was just asking about you, and now you’re back. It’s true what they say about not speaking ill of others behind their back.”
“Dad.” Qin Youxuan smiled and looked at Qin Mo, who had been silent.
“It’s good to be back. Just remember to let us know before you run off next time.” Qin Mo looked her up and down, speaking in an indifferent tone.
“…I know.” Qin Youxuan hesitated for a second before finally speaking.
This was her first time home since being kidnapped.
No sympathy from her family, just scorn.
Qin Youxuan’s eyes deepened.
“Miss Meng is our guest today. Let’s eat first, we can discuss other matters later.”
“Dad, I’ve already eaten. I’ll go back to my room to rest and prepare for work tomorrow. Please carry on with your meal.” Qin Youxuan strived to maintain her smile before turning around to leave.
“She just got back and she’s already putting on an attitude! Who’s she doing this for!” Jin Lan coldly huffed in displeasure.
“Mom!” Jin Chenye’s eyes darkened.
“Enough, let’s all say less! There are still guests here, don’t you guys feel embarrassed!”
“Mo…” Jin Lan’s face fell, she looked very wronged.
She was currently wheelchair-bound and couldn’t take care of Qin Mo. His lack of care was making her very uneasy.
“Auntie, let me push you to the dining room.” As if oblivious to the family’s internal conflict, Meng Ziqi gently stepped forward to help.
“Oh my, how can I let you do this? This is too much trouble for you!” Jin Lan’s face beamed with delight as she watched the noble born, considerate, and gentle Meng Ziqi. In her heart, she was filled with a thousand likes for her.
The key thing was that if her son could marry Miss Meng from the Meng family, the Qin Group would be in their hands.
When men marry, they all want a wife that can benefit their business. Otherwise, Qin Mo wouldn’t have abandoned her to marry Miss Jiang from the prestigious Jiang Family.
“Auntie, as long as you don’t find me clumsy, it’s no trouble at all,” Meng Ziqi said with a gracious smile.
She glanced shyly at Jin Chenye.
Ever since she came back to the country, she had done everything she could to get close to him, inducing the media to believe they were truly together. The old news of their engagement was brought up again and had been hotly discussed for several rounds now.
