overdue lover

Liang Jing's behavior completely angered Ji Qinglin, he held his chopsticks and lowered his head to bear it again, then raised his head again, Liang Jing was taken aback by the anger in his eyes.

Liang Jing obviously didn't take Ji Qinglin's anger seriously. Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, she laughed dryly and gestured with her fingers, "Look at this kid, he's still shy..."

"Heh..." Ji Qinglin looked at her with a half-smile and stood up.

It was also the first time for Liang Jing to encounter this kind of situation. She thought Ji Qinglin would go down the steps. Seeing Ji Qinglin turn around, she chased after him and asked loudly, "Ji Qinglin, Ji Qinglin! What are you doing? What are you doing?" nerve?!"

Ji Qinglin took a deep breath and turned around, "You don't need to intervene in the matter between me and Xingruo, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Looking at Liang Jing's suddenly pale face, Ji Qinglin's heart softened, and he adjusted his tone, "You and Auntie Dai can go back after dinner."

He didn't want to know how his mother knew Daly, he wasn't in the mood to ask.

Liang Jing clutched his sleeve, opened her mouth to say something, and Dai Li appeared next to the two of them.

She put her hand with dark purple nails on the back of Liang Jing's, and patted it, signaling Liang Jing to let go.

Then she smiled and said softly to Ji Qinglin: "Xiao Ji, I invited your mother to dinner today, and I called you over because I knew about your relationship with Xingruo, be obedient, and give Auntie Dai some face, okay? "

As soon as the word "obedient" appeared, Ji Qinglin's temples twitched involuntarily.

He really hated that word.

But Daly looked up at him seriously, her big eyes seemed to say "you are such a good boy".

Ji Qinglin doesn't want to be a good boy, but Dai Li is not like Liang Jing, she is Dai Xingruo's mother.

Finally, he gave a mysterious nod.

During the meal, Liang Jing didn't look at him directly, and kept chatting with Dai Li, Ji Qinglin was uncomfortable with his attentive appearance.

Dai Li is very generous and ordered many signature dishes.

Seeing that Liang Jing likes to eat steak, she also gave Liang Jing her share, and in front of her was a vegetable salad, and her brows would frown unconsciously when eating the salad.

Ji Qinglin thought that she was not used to the steak in this restaurant, and was about to ask the waiter to order some other snacks. Someone was passing by Dai Li, and accidentally touched her skirt. The person said sorry, and Dai Li turned to look back Glancing at the man, he took out an alcohol wipe from his bag and wiped the skirt that wasn't dirty.

The huge diamond ring on the ring finger was a bit dazzling when he raised his hand.

Ji Qinglin caught the corners of Dai Li's lips and the contempt and disgust in his eyes when he raised his eyes sideways.

Dai Li didn't finish the plate of vegetable salad. When Liang Jing asked her why she didn't eat it, Dai Li hurriedly laughed, "It's a bit too much for breakfast. If you like it, I'll give you this too." She gestured to throw the vegetable salad to Liang Push over there.

This scene made Ji Qinglin sigh in his heart.

Although he didn't mind what other people had eaten, and he didn't have any complaints about the poor family, but Daly's tone of charity made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Check out." Ji Qinglin couldn't stand it any longer, called the passing waiter to stop, and interrupted the two of them.

The waiter quickly typed out the bill, and Ji Qinglin was calling out the payment code to prepare to pay the bill, when Dai Li came over and stopped the waiter.

"Write my name on Huanyu's account." Dai Li turned around and smiled at Ji Qinglin, and pushed back his mobile phone, "Xiao Ji, this pedestrian street is the property of the Gu family, so you don't have to be so rude."

Ji Qinglin's hand on the table trembled, he nodded stiffly, and said "yes".

When Liang Jing saw this, the vegetable salad in her mouth became even more delicious.

After eating, the three walked out of the restaurant, Liang Jing held Dai Li's arm, and Ji Qinglin walked behind them.

This pedestrian street was newly developed in recent years. Most of the shops are open and sell mid-to-high-end products. Liang Jing usually doesn't go to this kind of place.

Ji Qinglin knew that she was afraid of showing cowardice and spending money.

When the two of them walked in front of a certain luxury store, Dai Li suddenly called out to Ji Qinglin, "Xiao Ji, if I remember correctly, you were the one who took the commercial for this store, right?"

Ji Qinglin did have an impression of this brand, he nodded.

Dai Li asked Liang Jing again, "Does Sister Liang like this brand?"

Liang Jing had never seen this before, she smiled awkwardly, Dai Li was a little surprised, "Isn't this brand quite generous, every time there is a cooperation, it will give a lot of gifts to the partner, Xiao Ji didn't give it to you?"

After choosing things, she began to pretend to be innocent, "Xiao Ji, you won't give it to any girl, will you?"

Ji Qinglin knew that Dai Li was not a cheap lamp.

He replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The new products of their family last season are not suitable for people of my mother's age group, and the gifts are divided among the girls in the studio."

Daly nodded knowingly, and then looked at a jewelry store.

"This bracelet is quite old, Sister Liang will accompany me to change it."

She raised her wrist to show Liang Jing, and on her slender wrist was a heavy gold bracelet.

Liang Jing's eyes were instantly filled with envy.

Ji Qinglin sighed inwardly, and accompanied the two into the jewelry store.

Liang Jing took a fancy to a necklace at a glance. When she went to try on the necklace, Dai Li touched Ji Qinglin's arm.

"I like your mother very much. I really want to be friends with her. Xiao Ji, you don't have to be so nervous," she said, holding Ji Qinglin's hand, "Even if you are not with Xingruo, I hope you can Be friends with you and your mother."

These words were heart-pounding, if Ji Qinglin hadn't seen the ruby ​​ring on Liang Jing's hand, he would have believed it.

"...Where did this ring come from?" Ji Qinglin was a little puzzled. As a medical staff, Liang Jing was not allowed to wear jewelry.

Daly smiled softly, "I sent it."

Seeing Ji Qinglin's disbelief, he explained, "Your mother is now the main nurse of my old Gu, I have nothing to give her, only this, fortunately she likes it, just... Xiao Ji, don't mind. "

"This is too expensive..."

"Xiao Ji!" Dai Li raised her voice to stop Ji Qinglin, then she lowered her voice with a hint of grief, "Compared with Xingruo's father's life, this is nothing...really."

As a woman who almost lost her husband, it is understandable that Dai Li wants someone to take good care of her husband, but this is a diamond ring, a valuable item, and Ji Qinglin thinks that her mother should not accept it.

Looking back at Dai Li's begging expression, Ji Qinglin had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​asking her mother to return the diamond ring to Liang Jing.

Before leaving the jewelry store, Dai Li was waiting for the checkout at the front desk. Ji Qinglin secretly asked the shopkeeper about the market price of the ruby, estimated the price of the ring in his mother's hand, and thought it would be better for her to return the ring.

Saying goodbye to the two, Ji Qinglin sat in the car home, thought for a while, and called his mother.

"... Can you return that ring to Aunt Dai?"

This thoughtless sentence angered Liang Jing, she asked loudly: "Give it back to her? Why? Isn't it just a broken diamond ring? It's not such an expensive thing. Besides, I work hard every day, and my salary is not enough The breadwinner, isn't that what I deserve?!"

Ji Qinglin's temples twitched from her sharp voice, he took a deep breath, and even pleaded in his tone, "Mom... If you like, I can buy it for you... Can you stop asking for other people's things... ..."

"You buy?" Liang Jing sneered, "Aren't you spending my money when you buy things? Ji Qinglin, I have raised you for so many years, why didn't I realize that you are a little white-eyed wolf who crawls around?!"

"You are a great photographer, you are noble! The people you meet are different now, don't you look down on me?"

"not me……"

Liang Jing snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, I did nothing wrong. She felt that I gave it to me with hard work. You are considerate of her, why don't you understand me? Ji Qinglin, you are not married yet. Just abducted? If you get married, you must not drive me and your father out?"

For the first time, Ji Qinglin felt what it meant to be unable to argue.

He really didn't know how to continue talking with Liang Jing, so he simply hung up the phone.

Liang Jing didn't call again.

In the car, Ji Qinglin checked the money in the bank card, and asked the driver to take him to a bank close to home.

After transferring all the money to a bank card, Ji Qinglin took the card and went home.

He didn't take the elevator, and climbed upstairs with his mind full of sweat in the heat of winter.

Walking out of the stairwell, I saw a courier package in the same city at the door of the house.

He didn't buy anything online, and he didn't receive a call. After carefully looking at the receipt, he found that the package should belong to Luo Huan, so he knocked on the neighbor's door.

After waiting for a while, no one responded, so he took a photo and sent it to Luo Huan's WeChat.

The reply was quite quick: "Mr. Ji, it's not convenient for me to go out. Please leave the package at my door. Luo Huan will pick it up when she comes back."

Ji Qinglin replied "OK" after moving the package over.

Ji Qinglin had doubts about the neighbor's identity at first, but he gradually dispelled his doubts until he asked Xin He to check Mr. Francis' information for him, and felt that all the information matched what Luo Huan said.

Nothing to do in the afternoon, Ji Qinglin rummaged through his previous works on the computer.

The puppies ran around the house like sesame glutinous rice balls. Suddenly the door rang, and they rushed to the door again, huddled in a row and looked up curiously at the person coming.

It was Xie Lanchuan who came back.

Ji Qinglin poked his head out of the bedroom and greeted him briefly, but was stopped by Xie Lanchuan.

"I..." For some reason, Xie Lanchuan was a little hard to speak, he hesitated for a few seconds, his expression became more solemn, "I'm leaving this city."

The puppy turned around under his feet, with its eyes wide open, as if asking why the owner didn't hug him.

The lively appearance of the little cuties dispelled the slight sadness of the upcoming separation.

There will always be a day of separation, Ji Qinglin thought, he just didn't expect it to be so soon.

The scene of Xie Lanchuan walking into the house with a bag on his back is still vivid in my memory.

"When are you leaving?" Ji Qinglin walked out of the room, pretending to be relaxed and asked with a smile.

Xie Lanchuan pursed his lower lip, "Tomorrow."

Ji Qinglin nodded, "Let me help you pack your things."

"no need."

Xie Lanchuan is a person with a strong sense of boundaries, and Ji Qinglin can understand that he does not accept his help.

"Then I'll invite you out to dinner tonight, as a friend, you should be more solemn when you say goodbye." Ji Qinglin said, taking out his mobile phone to order a restaurant.

This time, Xie Lanchuan did not refuse.
