Chapter 559: Routine and Counter-Routine
“How can such a small matter stump you?” Liang Ruoxu gloated.
“It’s mainly because my mother is unreasonable. She’s going to beat me up the moment she arrives.”
Looking at the situation, Liang Ruoxu said, “Your mother must have made up her mind to stand on President Ji’s side.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed to Zhonghai. Moreover, she even bought a plane ticket.”
“Well, is there anything between the two of you?” Liang Ruoxu asked. “I mean between you and Director Li.”
“What could possibly happen?” Lin Yi said.
“But my mother has met Li Chuhan before and has a good impression of her. She should speak up on my behalf.”
“Your mother met her too?”
“The last time I went back to Yangcheng, I went back to the orphanage and visited them.”
Liang Ruoxu said thoughtfully,
“Based on what you said, the first person to meet your adoptive parents should be Ji Qingyan, and the second should be Director Li.”
“Yeah. Is there something wrong?”
“I’m just checking,” said Liang Ruoxu.
“You’d better stop chatting with me and quickly think of a way to resolve this matter.”
Lin Yi fiddled with his phone and muttered to himself,
“There’s still a lot of room to maneuver in this matter. It shouldn’t be difficult to deal with.”
“But I’m curious as to how you’re going to handle this.”
“I don’t think my mother knows about that I already know that she’s in Zhonghai. Having said that, I am already aware that she is very likely to be with Ji Qingyan right now.”
“What’s the difference between you knowing and not knowing?”
“There’s a huge difference. The tricks I will be able to use will vary greatly.”
At this thought, Lin Yi picked up his phone and was about to call Wang Cuiping.
However, at this moment, his phone rang. It was Wang Cuiping.
Ji Qingyan’s Maserati stopped at the door.
Ji Qingyan and Wang Cuiping got out of the car and removed the suitcase from the backseat.
After returning to the company in the morning to deal with the negative news online, Ji Qingyan drove to Jiuzhou Pavilion and packed her clothes.
However, after packing up, she received a call from Wang Cuiping saying that the latter had already arrived at Zhonghai.
After packing her things, she drove to the airport.
“Mother Wang, don’t move. I’ll do it.”
“The bag is so heavy. How can you carry it with your delicate skin?”
“It’s fine, Mother Wang. If I can’t even carry a suitcase, won’t I be a cripple?”
Ji Qingyan insisted on carrying the box and did not hand it over to Wang Cuiping.
“Aiyo, you little girl.”
The two of them entered the house. Wang Cuiping was not in the mood to admire the decoration and design of the house. She said earnestly,
“Qingyan, listen to me. I’m not speaking up for that brat, but I did raise him. Although he’s a little of a jerk, he definitely wouldn’t do such a wicked thing. If he really dared to do this, I’ll break his legs.”
“Mother Wang, don’t say that. In reality, there was nothing between us from the beginning to the end.”
Ji Qingyan tidied her hair. Since there were no more fruits at home, she brewed a pot of tea and handed it to Wang Cuiping.
“We’re close, but we’re still just friends.”
“Hey, don’t scare me.” Wang Cuiping slapped her thigh anxiously.
“If you don’t get together with our Lil Yi, I won’t want to live anymore.”
“Mother Wang, it’s not that serious.” Ji Qingyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“This kind of thing depends on fate. We can’t be forced together.”
“What do you mean by forced? In this world, there’s no one more compatible than you two. Anyway, from the first time I saw you, I’ve already decided that you’ll be my daughter-in-law,” Wang Cuiping said.
“And once, when I went out to buy groceries, I met an old Daoist priest on the way. I showed him your birth characters. Guess what? He said that your birth characters are especially compatible and that you will have twins in the future.”
She rebuked shyly with a blush on her face. “Those are all lies. Don’t believe them.”
“Lies? That old Daoist priest’s prediction is always accurate.” Wang Cuiping said.
“Therefore, you and Little Yi will definitely have a good relationship. As for the information online, they’re all lies. They’re deliberately defaming my son.”
“If it’s slander, they wouldn’t dare publish it so openly. Furthermore, there’s even photo evidence,” said Ji Qingyan.
“Aiya, don’t worry about what those people on the Internet are saying.”
Wang Cuiping took out a small red cloth bag from her bag. Inside was a jade bracelet.
“My mother-in-law gave this to me when I got married to Lin Yi’s father. Although you and Little Yi aren’t married yet, I’ve already set my heart on you. I’m giving it to you today.”
“Mother Wang, you can’t do that.”
Ji Qingyan was shocked and quickly waved her hands in refusal.
Although it was not worth much, it had a lot of sentimental value. She could not accept it casually.
“Are you looking down on Mother Wang’s bracelet, or do you think Little Yi’s background isn’t good enough?”
No matter what, as a mother, she was always on her son’s side.
In order to keep Ji Qingyan, Wang Cuiping had resorted to moral blackmail.
“I didn’t mean that.” Ji Qingyan was on the verge of tears.
“Then keep it. In any case, I’ve already decided on you. I won’t give this bracelet to anyone but you.”
Without any explanation, Wang Cuiping put the bracelet into Ji Qingyan’s hand, not caring if she was willing or not.
“Mother Wang, how could you do this?” Ji Qingyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Despite this, Lin Yi’s scandal was still a knot in her heart.
“I’m telling you, someone must be deliberately discrediting my son. I’ll call him now and ask what’s going on.”
“Mother Wang, if you call him, you won’t get anything out of him.”
“That might not be the case.” Wang Cuiping said.
“I came here in secret. No one knew about this except his father. He wouldn’t have thought that I would know about this, let alone that I am beside you. I’ll get information out of him and find out the truth.”
Ji Qingyan did not say a word. Instead, she said indifferently, “I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“How can I not do this I have to ask him.” Wang Cuiping held her phone and said.
“Don’t worry. Although he’s my son, I’ll always be on your side.”
With that, Wang Cuiping called Lin Yi’s phone and turned on the loudspeaker.
“Mom, you were looking for me.”
“Son, what are you doing?” Wang Cuiping pretended to be calm and asked.
“I just finished a surgery. I with our director.”
Wang Cuiping’s heart skipped a beat. If she could, she would fly to Lin Yi’s side and kick him hard right now.
‘What nonsense is this? My daughter-in-law is about to leave and you’re still fooling around with other women?!’
She sighed inwardly like a deflated balloon.
As expected, Lin Yi didn’t know that Ji Qingyan was with him, or he wouldn’t have said that.
