Transmigrating into a book and becoming a female supporting character in a sadistic novel

"Ahem." Shi Jinhua cleared his throat uncomfortably and explained awkwardly, "I asked him to come, but he didn't tell me why he wanted to live here. It's normal for me to worry about my son, right?"

"Sure, sure." Jiang Qi responded repeatedly. Would she dare to object?

"So, Mom, what exactly are you going to do?" Gu Jingcheng took the opportunity to ask tentatively.

Shi Jinhua looked at him, then put the focus on him and returned to the topic: "Wait, I haven't finished asking."

"So...you ask?"

"You..." Shi Jinhua thought about where to start and how to ask. "How is your relationship with your wife?"

"Very good." Gu Jingcheng answered without any hesitation.

When Jinhua heard such a definite answer, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Qi, indicating that she should refute it.

But Jiang Qi looked at Gu Jingcheng in extreme shock, and she stood there in a daze, as if she had been struck by lightning, with eyes full of disbelief.

Gu Jingcheng also turned his head to look at the person next to him and asked inexplicably: "What's wrong with you?"

"You even dare to lie to your mother!" Jiang Qi was amazed.

"I lied to mom? What did I lie to mom about?" Gu Jingcheng already had a vague guess about what happened tonight. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Jiang Qi to reply but continued to ask Shi Jinhua: "Mom, what happened to her today? Is she okay?"

"She told me that there have always been problems in your marriage with your wife." Shi Jinhua explained calmly.

"How is that possible?" Gu Jingcheng said as if he had heard a joke. "Mom, you know that she and I have always been a model couple. There has never been even a rumor."

Jiang Qi watched him say these words without blushing or beating his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so brave!"

"This is the fact. Why shouldn't I be afraid to say it?" Gu Jingcheng sneered and looked at her as if he was watching a child playing tricks for fun.

Shi Jinhua also looked at Jiang Qi to see if she had anything else to say.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath and calmed down before asking, "Then why didn't you let Mom see Su Muqing?"

"My grandfather won't let me. Mom knows."

I thought he would think about how to explain it, but he just answered without any hesitation.

Jiang Qi was stunned, and she was replaying the plot in her mind. It was certain that Su Muqing had never met Shi Jinhua. Why? Lin Yue clearly wrote in the plot that Gu Jingcheng said to her in person: You don't need to meet them.

Although it was her recollection when Su Muqing was helping Mr. Gu to draw up the guest list for his birthday party, she was certain that it was Gu Jingcheng who said it himself.

"Mom?" Jiang Qi was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Shi Jinhua, wanting to ask her for confirmation.

"He told me that your grandfather Gu didn't want to have another person related to our family in the family, so he didn't let her contact me." Shi Jinhua continued to explain.

Jiang Qi froze when she heard this answer. She knew the situations of the two families and after thinking for a while she finally connected the dots.

Is this what you mean when you say she's 'not necessary'?

"Jiang Qi." Jinhua called her when she didn't respond for a long time.

"Ah?" Jiang Qi responded to her in confusion.

"Keep asking." His tone was firm and left no room for argument.

Shi Jinhua gave the order. She no longer believed Gu Jingcheng. Even if his answer was perfect, her instinct was to firmly believe that Jiang Qi would not and dared not lie to her. Since Jiang Qi dared to say so, it proved that she knew something.

Gu Jingcheng now understood Shi Jinhua's intention. She wanted to use Jiang Qi to attack him.

This matter today cannot be resolved by him. He thought quickly in his mind, and finally looked at the person next to him with a look in his eyes. He didn't know what Jiang Qi talked about with Shi Jinhua, but the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, so he could only take action against Jiang Qi.

"Speaking of which..." Gu Jingcheng interrupted Jiang Qi and asked her with a puzzled look, "Why do you think there is a problem between me and your sister-in-law?"

"I……"

Jiang Qi was interrupted and covered as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I remember that since you came back until now, you have only met once, at the birthday party yesterday, right?" Gu Jingcheng paused as if recalling when he said the three words "birthday party".

Threatening, he is threatening.

Jiang Qi also heard it and looked at the person in front of her for a moment. Finally, Jiang Qi pursed her lips and forced a smile.

"Yes, I only had time to see him that one time."

Gu Jingcheng succeeded and Jiang Qi accepted his threat.

Gu Jingcheng saw that Jiang Qi's expression had become much gentler, and he asked again patiently, "So what caused you to have this misunderstanding?"

"I...it was just yesterday. For such a long time...I didn't see you two having any conversation." Jiang Qi stammered for a long time before coming up with such a slightly reasonable reason.

"What?" Shi Jinhua didn't hear clearly nor understood what she just said.

"I went to the banquet yesterday, and the two of them didn't talk to each other much from the time I entered until I left, so I thought they were not on good terms." Jiang Qi said in self-abandonment, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and she didn't even dare to look at Shi Jinhua anymore.

Shi Jinhua glanced back and forth between the two of them and felt a little tired.

She had raised both children since they were young, especially Jiang Qi, who was her own child. She was not blind to the interaction between the two, and could hear the hidden meaning in their words. She knew that the two kids were lying, and it seemed that Gu Jingcheng had some evidence against Jiang Qi. It must be a big deal, otherwise Jiang Qi would not dare to lie to her.

Looking at the two grown-up people in front of him, it seemed as if they were reunited with their youth. Shi Jinhua felt a little complicated, with anger and sadness mixed with a little helplessness and loneliness.

She was angry because they lied to her, and she was sad because they lied to her. There is only one reason why a child would lie to an adult: because they are afraid.

I was afraid of being beaten and blamed. Now that I have grown up, the most important thing is that I am afraid of adults worrying about me.

As for why she felt lonely, it was because her children thought she was too old to protect them. Or they no longer needed her.

Think about what her brother said: Now that the children have grown up, there are some things they have to experience, and some worlds they can only see on their own.

It was late at night, and the room was silent. The silence lasted so long that one could hear someone's breathing becoming irregular.

"Oh, forget it." After a while, Jinhua sighed softly, "Jiang Qi, you are tired today, go to bed first."

"Me?" Jiang Qi looked up at Shi Jinhua with a look of disbelief, and even raised her finger to point at herself. She couldn't even deceive herself with what she just said, but she actually convinced her mother? ! Just let her go like that? !

"What? Don't you want to sleep? If you don't want to sleep, go out and run a few laps."

Jiang Qi hurriedly said: "Think about it, I want to sleep, I'm so sleepy, I'm leaving first, you go to bed early." After that, he turned around and left quickly.

Shi Jinhua looked at Jiang Qi, who looked like he was running away, and cursed softly, "You deserve it."
