Married to the Northwest, the soft-waisted wife was spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 176 Qi Qing and Qi Yan

Zhang Zhifeng regretted what he said. Qi Yan's family is just a bunch of donkey eggs and shit, but it looks shiny on the surface.

Qi Yan remained calm, as Zhang Zhifeng's words did not stir up any waves in his heart.

"If you say no, then don't..." Qi Yan murmured repeatedly, and suddenly raised his eyes with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Didn't they do the same to me before? If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have met you. So you just look at this and agree to any request she makes without restriction, right?"

Zhang Zhifeng felt like he had punched cotton.

"That's not what I meant." Zhang Zhifeng was helpless. He couldn't say what was in his mind and felt awkward.

Qi Yan didn't take it seriously and urged, "Drive. It will be the same if you have the chance to come to the institute again in the future. Sisi now has a factory in Huaihua Commune and I heard it's doing well."

Zhang Zhifeng was in a daze. Setting up a factory? Why did this sound so easy?

"You said it so lightly that it made me want to open a factory. What does it do?"

Zhang Zhifeng started the car, and both of them consciously ignored the conflict that had just occurred.

It was already 12:30 in the afternoon when we arrived at the Qi family's house, and the atmosphere in the living room was frighteningly depressing.

"Qingqing, after dinner, ask your elder brother to take Yanyan and you to see a movie, and then go to the park. Yanyan will go home soon, and you can take her to get her familiar with the surroundings."

Qi Qing looked unhappy, "Okay..."

Qi Yan sat stiffly on the sofa. Her skin was slightly dark, and her facial features were three-dimensional and delicate. She looked as if she was carved from the same mold as Shen Wanqing.

She twisted her hands nervously, her eyes full of fear.

Shen Wanqing smiled and took Qi Yan's hand, "Yan Yan, do you still remember that when you were a kid you loved playing hide-and-seek in the alley behind our house? Aunt Mao next door has been missing you since she heard that you came back. Let's go see her tomorrow."

Qi Yan nodded. In fact, she didn't remember anything. She only remembered that she had a brother.

She agreed to return to the capital this time because the person in front of her promised to let her see her brother.

The house was huge, three or four times bigger than her home, and had three floors, so everything that seemed so exquisite to her was pressing down on Qi Yan's neck, making her unable to raise her head.

Qi Yan looked down and saw the calluses on her hands. Her hands were dark and old, contrasting with the fine fabric on her body, which magnified her inferiority complex infinitely.

"Mom, why hasn't my eldest brother come yet? I have a meeting at work this afternoon."

Qi Qing looked at the clock on the wall frequently, not wanting to look at the deep love between the mother and daughter in front of her.

"Just ask for leave. Your main task this afternoon is to take Yanyan to familiarize herself with the surroundings and watch a movie."

Qi Qing glanced at Qi Yan and said sullenly, "I see. I'll call the hospital then."

It was almost one o'clock, and Qi Yan and Zhang Zhifeng still hadn't arrived. Qi Jianhua was not here even though he had said he would come back.

Qi Qing went back to his room under the pretext of making a phone call, feeling depressed.

Qi Yan pursed her lips nervously, "I want to go back to my room and rest for a while, is that ok?"

"Of course, this is your home, you can do whatever you want in the future without asking anyone."

Shen Wanqing felt heartbroken to see her daughter being so cautious.

Qi Yan had just stood up when she heard the sound of someone pushing the door open. She turned around to look for the source of the sound.

Qi Yan and Zhang Zhifeng walked in carrying things, crossed the yard and went into the house. The man's appearance gradually overlapped with Qi Yan's vague memory.

The corners of Qi Yan's lips couldn't help but rise, and she suddenly had a familiar feeling.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Yan noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked over and was stunned for a second.

Shen Wanqing saw someone coming back and quickly stood up, "You're back, sit down first, I'll go heat up the food."

"Aunt Shen, I'll help you." Zhang Zhifeng put down his things and prepared to follow Shen Wanqing.

Qi Qing heard the conversation in the room, and hurried out, calling out crisply, "Brother."

"You're really back. Where's sister-in-law? Didn't she come this time?" Qi Qing walked forward and stood beside Qi Yan. "Brother, I was assigned to Renhe Hospital and I'm already at work."

"Yeah, not bad." Qi Yan put the things aside, "Your sister-in-law also has her own things to do."

"I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant. Is that true? Am I going to be an aunt?"

Qi Qing enthusiastically pulled Qi Yan to chat and ignored Qi Yan who was standing beside him.

She stood there, pinching her trouser legs awkwardly, not knowing whether to walk or sit.

Qi Yan took out a small brocade box from his pocket and handed it to Qi Yan, "This is something grandpa left for you, see if you like it."

Qi Yan was stunned, hesitating whether to reach out to take it.

"Take it. This is originally given to you. Don't feel psychologically burdened." Qi Yan saw through her hesitation.

Qi Yan raised her eyes and smiled at Qi Yan, then reached out to take the gift.

She opened the box and found a jade bracelet inside. It was similar in quality to the one Ji Sisi had and exuded an air of wealth.

Qi Qing also saw it, and she tried her best to control her expression.

"It's so beautiful. Sister, why don't you try it on now?" Qi Qing suggested.

When Qi Yan heard this, she suddenly put away her joy. Thinking of her rough hands, the feeling of inferiority surged up again.

"This thing is quite valuable. It's better not to wear it unless it's necessary. It can easily lead to gossip. Put it away for now." Qi Yan came to Qi Yan's rescue.

Qi Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, even though she had been in the Qi family for more than ten years, she could never compare to their biological children. She was just a substitute.

Even her name was someone else's. Now she changed it to Qi Qing, but people around her still called her Qi Yan. Every time they called her that, it felt like a knife cutting into her heart.

"The food is ready. Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Shen Wanqing greeted happily.

The dinner table.

Shen Wanqing usually spoke the least, but today, for the first time, she took on the responsibility of creating the atmosphere.

"Zhifeng, Qi Yan, take Yanyan and Qingqing with you after dinner."

"She will spend more time here in the future, and she will gradually become familiar with the place. I have things to do in the institute this afternoon, so I have to rush back after dinner."

Qi Yan decisively rejected Shen Wanqing's request.

Shen Wanqing put down her chopsticks. "It's rare for you to come back, and Yanyan just came back. As a brother, what's wrong with you taking her for a walk?"

"I made it very clear last time." Qi Yan also put down his chopsticks, with a threatening tone.

Only Shen Wanqing and Qi Yan knew about what happened last time at the dinner table.

No one else dared to ask.

"Aunt Shen, if you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner. Qi Yan finally came out for a trip. If he goes back, there's no telling when he'll be back next time."

Zhang Zhifeng reminded gently.

He didn't want to be treated with such courtesy by his elders again.

Shen Wanqing had no choice but to give up and wait for Qi Jianhua to come back and take charge of the situation.

The beef jerky business has begun to grow steadily, and Ji Sisi plans to add a production line for beef sauce in the workshop.

"Manager Ji, you called me?"
