"Sister?" Ming Luochun called her in confusion when he saw Jiang Qi's look.
The usual softness returned to his eyes.
"Ah?" Jiang Qi blinked and suppressed his emotions.
"Did something happen?"
It was still a considerate inquiry, with gentle concern in his eyes. It was as if what he saw just now was an illusion of Jiang Qi.
"It's okay!" Jiang Qi forced a laugh. "It's getting late, we've finished what we need to say, shall we go home?"
"it is good."
Ming Luochun certainly had no objection. Jiang Qi smiled back and started the car to go home.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the two returned home. Jinhua had not yet gone to bed when the house was brightly lit.
"Mom, you haven't rested yet?" Jiang Qi came in and greeted Shi Jinhua who was sitting alone in the main hall first.
When Shi Jinhua looked at them, Ming Luochun also stepped forward to greet them: "Mother-in-law."
"You're back?" Shi Jinhua responded to both of them.
Hearing her normal tone, Jiang Qi took two steps towards her, walked to her side, bent down slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Where are my dad and Ayue?"
"They both rested."
"Then why haven't you rested yet?"
"I'm here to get your things." Shi Jinhua said, pointing to a pile of paper bags and boxes leaning against the corner of the hall.
Jiang Qi just stood there and roughly estimated the quantity. "Why deliver it now? It's so late, can't it be delivered tomorrow? You're disturbing people's rest." His tone was unhappy.
Ming Luochun knew that it was Jiang Qi's own request to have the things delivered tonight, and he couldn't help but look back and forth between Jiang Qi and Shi Jinhua with some confusion.
He didn't understand why Jiang Qi said this to Shi Jinhua, so he was mainly trying to judge Shi Jinhua's mood at the moment. He wanted to know Jiang Qi's purpose, so he just stood there quietly without saying a word.
"Well, it's none of their business. The main thing is that I have something to tell you, and I'm waiting for you. It's just a matter of convenience for me to collect my things." Shi Jinhua sighed lightly, his tone was gentle, and his voice sounded a little tired.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Jiang Qi immediately walked around the sofa, sat down next to her and asked anxiously.
Shi Jinhua did not reply to her but looked at Ming Luochun and said, "Xiao Luochun, you are tired after a day, go and have a rest first. Jiang Qi and I will chat for a while."
"Okay, then you and sister should go to bed early."
"Ah."
After nodding to Jiang Qi, he went straight upstairs to his room.
After he could no longer hear any sound, Jiang Qi asked seriously, "Mom, what happened?"
"Alas." Another heavy sigh, and even his eyes were tinged with a bit of grayness.
I can't remember ever seeing Shi Jinhua have such a moment. She always seemed calm and confident, as if everything was under control.
Feeling that the situation seemed serious, Jiang Qi sat up straighter, tense and waited for what Shi Jinhua would say next.
But he only heard Shi Jinhua slowly say: "Jingcheng is here, not long after you left."
"...But, then what?" Jiang Qi's voice was a little stiff.
"He's staying here." Shi Jinhua's tone was still heavy and worried.
There was a moment of silence, and the bright lights in the hall shone down from above onto Jiang Qi's face. If there was a third person present, they would be able to appreciate how wonderful the expression on Jiang Qi's face was at that moment.
"so what?"
"What's the matter? Isn't this problem serious enough?!" Shi Jinhua became anxious and his expression became anxious.
"How is it serious?!" Jiang Qi couldn't understand.
"He's married, you know that?!"
"...I know." Jiang Qi looked at Shi Jinhua in a daze.
"How can he still live outside?"
Jiang Qi wanted to reply but didn't know what to say. He took a breath and paused for a moment before replying, "No, is there any relationship between the two?"
"You have such a pig brain that you don't even understand this." Shi Jinhua looked disappointed in Jiang Qi again, looking at him with disdain.
"No...what should I understand?!" Jiang Qi felt helpless at the moment, and his voice became much louder.
"He's already married, so why do you think he still lives out?" Shi Jinhua tried to explain for Jiang Qi.
"Why?" Jiang Qi naturally responded and waited for her to continue.
"Then they must have had a quarrel." Shi Jinhua concluded.
"..."
Jiang Qi looked at Shi Jinhua for a while, then she leaned back with all her strength, took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling and said slowly with a look of despair: "Mom, you are not sleeping so late at night and waiting for me here, and you even sent Ming Luochun away. Just to tell me that Gu Jingcheng had a fight with his wife?" The more she talked, the more outrageous she found it.
"Yes." Shi Jinhua answered her frankly.
"Not only did you send them away, you were also so serious. I thought something big had happened." Jiang Qi complained weakly, and collapsed completely on the sofa.
Seeing Jiang Qi's nonchalant attitude, Shi Jinhua became even more anxious and turned to face her and said, "Why aren't you anxious at all?!"
"Why should I be in such a hurry? I wasn't the one quarreling with him. Besides, it's just a quarrel. You and my dad have quarreled before, and everything is fine now." Jiang Qi patiently comforted Shi Jinhua.
"But your father has never thought of running away?" Shi Jinhua paused and thought, "No, Jingcheng must have been bullied, otherwise why would he run back." After Shi Jinhua made his guess, he looked at Jiang Qi to get her approval.
Jiang Qi was completely speechless after hearing Shi Jinhua's conclusion. She looked a little dazed for a while before she organized her words to reply: "Mom, you seem to have said it the other way around. First of all, the house belongs to Gu Jingcheng, and it should be Su Muqing who ran back home because he was bullied. Besides, who could bully him?! And my dad, he didn't run away because he had nowhere to go. It's really nothing, don't worry!"
Jiang Qi's attitude of not caring about the matter completely angered Shi Jinhua.
"He's your brother! His marriage is in trouble, how come you don't care at all?"
The sudden scolding made Jiang Qi blurt out: "There have always been problems in their marriage!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole scene froze in an instant, and the silence was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Jiang Qi watched Shi Jinhua's expression gradually change from anxiety to solemnity, and her spine couldn't help but straighten up little by little. Under Shi Jinhua's gaze, she slowly sat up straight.
The overly depressing atmosphere made Jiang Qi feel like she was sweating all over, but these were just subconscious reactions of the body. She didn't understand what was wrong with her that caused Shi Jinhua to be angry.
It was anger rather than anger, because Shi Jinhua was too calm at the moment. So Jiang Qi knew clearly that she was in trouble.
