Jing Yan was startled and subconsciously said, “What does it have to do with my Big Brother?”
The second madam knew that she had misspoken, so she shut her mouth and did not say another word.
Angel, on the other hand, said leisurely, “You haven’t even dealt with your own family’s matters, yet you’re still trying to argue with others. The Jing family’s upbringing is really good!”
Xiao Zhi hurriedly pulled Angel behind her to stop her from speaking nonsense.
Fortunately, the Jing family’s attention was on the second madam and Jing Yan.
Gu Yan said, “Second Madam, you’d better make it clear. Otherwise, we won’t be able to talk for a long time. It’s not a good idea for us to be trapped here. If Master Qi has to investigate the matter himself, the result might not be the same!”
Everyone looked at second madam reproachfully.
Second Madam, on the other hand, shut her mouth with an indifferent expression and refused to speak anymore.
I took a glance at Su Shen. Su Shen looked like she was still not yet satisfied. She gave an order to the subordinate behind her. “Separate them. Interrogate them one by one. If there aren’t enough places to interrogate them, you can get closer so that they can hear each other. This way, it’ll be more convenient for them to talk to each other. Interrogate the Second Madam alone. We can use some tricks on her. Nanxing, what do you think?”
I smiled and glanced at her. “Alright, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”
Su Shen turned around. “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear from you!”
After the show was over, Gu Yan and I greeted each other with our eyes and left the small courtyard.
When I saw Mai Qi and Lin Hua walking side by side, I narrowed my eyes at the sunlight.
How did these two meet?
Mai Qi walked over quickly. “Nanxing? Isn’t there a show to watch? Why did you come out?”
I rolled my eyes at her. “Are you a snail? Did you just come? The show is already over. There’s nothing to watch.”
I looked at Lin Hua without batting an eyelid. “Is Dr. Lin done with work?”
Lin Hua said generously, “Yes, I’ve greeted Mr. Li. I’m going to visit my sister.”
Mai Qi looked calm and didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Hua said, “Ladies, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
When his figure turned around, I asked Mai Qi, “How did you come with him?”
“I ran in a hurry on the way here and tripped. I just happened to be bumped by him. Not only did I lose face, but I also twisted my ankle. I was so embarrassed. Without saying anything else, this person straightens my bones right away. His technique wasn’t bad. It didn’t hurt at that time, so I came all the way here.” Mai Qi explained the process very naturally.
I took Mai Qi’s hand and walked to the back door of the garden. I asked casually, “What did you talk about on the way here?”
Mai Qi patted me. “Are you checking on me like your uncle?”
Mai Qi rolled her eyes at me. “I was the one who kept chasing after him. I thought I would never get him. Who knew he was such a stuffy guy? Now he’s staring at me like I would cheat on him whenever he looks away.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. Thinking about my uncle, Mai Qi’s words made sense.
“He loves you. Do you have any objections?” I pushed her.
Mai Qi couldn’t hold back her smile.
“What did Lin Hua talk to you about?” I asked again.
“Oh, he said that he met my mother when he was young. He said that I looked exactly like my mother, so he recognized me on the first meeting and asked if my mother was okay.”
Mai Qi’s expression darkened. “Nanxing, I haven’t seen my mother for years.”
