Chapter 561 Scheming Wanwan Agitates Trash, Something Good is Interrupted (2)


Recently, the He family was in turmoil, and the company was also in chaos. Old Madam He actually had the thought of splitting up the family. She just wanted to strive for more for He Xi. She even wanted her to enter the company. Dream on.


IOIE


It was He Xi courting death to begin with, and she was just sending her off along the way.


She had already competed with Song Fengwan in secret before, so it didn’t matter if she saw through her. But…


How could her mother be pregnant at this time?


If there was a boy in her stomach, and since the He family favored boys over girls, would she still have a place to stand?


Although the He family was no longer as powerful as before, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. They still had assets. She worked hard at the company and tried her best to perform, but she wasn’t doing so to give the fruits of her labor to others!


This child can’t remain!


***


Song Fengwan agitated He Shiqing and felt a little better. When she returned to the ward, Tang Jingci had already woken up. She was leaning against a pillow and recounting what had happened recently to Tang Wangjin.


“… I see. I received a call at the airport and thought that this damn brat lost you again. I really wanted to kill him!” Tang Wangjin looked at Qiao Xiyan at the side. He didn’t like him no matter how he looked at him.


“Senior Brother takes good care of me.” Tang Jingci’s eyes were fleeting, and she didn’t look at Qiao Xiyan at all.


Sitting at the side, Qiao Xiyan was holding a small fruit knife and cutting open a peeled apple, his actions ruthless and precise.


“Take care of your head. Didn’t he lose you twice again in Nanjiang?” Tang Wangjin bore grudges. Moreover, losing his daughter was a big matter.


“They were accidents.” “You’re a little strange. Why are you always speaking up for him?” Tang Wangjin raised his eyebrows. His sharp eyes stared at Tang Jingci intently, as if he wanted to see through her.


“N-no… I’m just stating the facts.”


“I heard that you’re very close to Duan Linbai. There’s even a scandal? I just came into contact with this child. He’s a good person.”


Click! Qiao Xiyan folded the knife and threw it aside. “Uncle-Master, apple.”


Tang Wangjin frowned. Why is this brat looking at me with a stern expression?


I haven’t settled the score with him yet. I’m preparing to beat him up, yet he’s pulling a long face at me?


At this moment, Song Fengwan returned.


“Wanwan, I was just about to call you. Why did you buy so many things?” Tang Wangjin smiled.


“Aren’t you staying with Big Sister Tang for the night? I bought you some toiletries and some food.”


“Girls are still the most considerate.” Tang Wangjin glanced at Qiao Xiyan. This brat is still giving me attitude!


“What are you talking about?” Song Fengwan sat by the bed.


“About Duan Linbai. Wanwan, are you familiar with him? Does he have a girlfriend?”


“Huh?” Song Fengwan subconsciously looked at her cousin. A certain someone’s expression was calm, and his eyes were extremely cold.


“I’m just asking. Don’t think too much.” Tang Wangjin smiled.


Song Fengwan smiled awkwardly. He clearly wants to matchmake Big Sister Tang and Big Brother Duan.


This couldn’t be blamed on him. Duan Linbai had a lively personality, and he was also sweet-tongued in front of his elders. Usually, when he wasn’t rambunctious, he was indeed reliable and likable.


… Unlike her cousin, who was boring to death.


“Dad, hurry up and eat. Wanwan specially bought it for you. It won’t taste good when it gets cold.” Tang Jingci immediately changed the topic.


Only then did Tang Wangjin stop inquiring about Duan Linbai.


***


After Tang Wangjin finished eating, Song Fengwan stayed behind to accompany Tang Jingci while he and Qiao Xiyan returned to the hotel to get some daily necessities. Moreover, Tang Wangjin was travel-worn and had been anxious about Tang Jingci, so he had sweat countless times, and his entire body was sticky.


“Uncle-Master, take a shower first. I’ll find you some clothes to change into.” Tang Wangjin naturally went to Qiao Xiyan’s room and sized up his guest room. It was quite clean and tidy.


Tang Wangjin had come in a hurry and didn’t bring any change of clothes. Qiao Xiyan could only take his own and pass them to him. When he came out after putting on his clothes, Qiao Xiyan was dumbfounded…


He looks so thin. Why is his stomach…


… so big!


Qiao Xiyan was on the thin side, and he had firm abdominal muscles. The clothes were naturally very loose on him. However, when it came to Tang Wangjin, they were loose in other places, but his beer belly completely stretched the shirt.


“Ahem…” Tang Wangjin coughed twice. “You have to know that in our industry, if you sit for a long time, your abdomen will inevitably gain some fat.”


Qiao Xiyan smiled bitterly. Some fat?


You clearly have a few rolls of fat!


The clothes he usually wore could naturally cover up this defect of his, but now…


Qiao Xiyan pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling a little sorry for his shirt. Tang Wangjin also knew that these clothes really didn’t fit him. On the way to the hospital, he specially went to the mall and asked Qiao Xiyan to go over first to deliver Tang Jingci dinner.


When Song Fengwan saw her cousin arrive, she hurriedly packed up her things and prepared to leave.


“Where’s my dad?” Tang Jingci looked behind Qiao Xiyan. There was no one there.


“He went to the mall to buy clothes.”


“Since Cousin is here, I’ll get going first. Big Sister Tang, take care of yourself. I’ll come see you tomorrow.” Song Fengwan took her bag and dashed out.


When Tang Jingci could start seeing again, she had helped hide it from her cousin. Now that her uncle-master wasn’t around, if she stayed…


She would definitely die without an intact corpse, so she’d better leave quickly.


“Song Fengwan!” Tang Jingci sat up from the hospital bed, looking anxious and afraid. “Stay a little longer.”


“Sorry, I’m going back for evening self-study. Goodbye, Cousin.” Song Fengwan wasn’t a fool. Her cousin’s expression wasn’t right. Should she stay and wait for death?


As soon as Song Fengwan left, Qiao Xiyan closed the door.


Click! He locked it!


Tang Jingci was frightened. She sat upright on the bed like a death row prisoner awaiting execution, her expression full of despair.


“Do you want to eat first or drink soup first?” Qiao Xiyan brought the meal box to her bedside table.


“Senior Brother…” Tang Jingci bit her lip. His brows were furrowed, and she could clearly feel his displeasure.


“Have some soup first to moisten your throat.”


Seeing him ignore her, Tang Jingci steeled her heart and reached out her uninjured hand to pull him…


Qiao Xiyan reacted quickly. From the corner of his eye, he saw something approaching and grabbed it almost instinctively.


Her hand was warm and slender, gentle and soft.


Because she peeled her skin and applied hand oil all year round, it looked very tender, as if it could break with a little force.


Qiao Xiyan’s hands were very rough. The calluses rubbed against her hand, and it even felt a little prickly.


“What?” His voice was a little hoarse.


Tang Jingci didn’t say anything. Her slender fingers slowly opened the gaps between his fingers and passed through them. She moved very slowly and carefully.


Qiao Xiyan was completely capable of shaking off her hand and refusing. But he stood there without moving


Her fingers completely passed through the gaps of his fingers until there were no gaps between their hands, bringing a tingling and itchy feeling. She clasped his hand slightly and pressed it tightly against hers.


The two of them had various thoughts.


“Senior Brother…”


“Hmm?”


“Are you angry?” Her voice was so soft that he couldn’t bear to scold her.


Qiao Xiyan wasn’t stupid. He looked down at their tightly clasped hands, and his gaze landed on Tang Jingci. She was bending her body slightly and looking up. Her collar was slightly open, and she was very thin. Under her exquisite collarbone, there was a faint hint of spring… His throat itched.


Just as he was about to move subconsciously, there was a knock on the door.


“What are you two doing? Why did you lock the door?!” Tang Wangjin’s voice suddenly sounded.


Qiao Xiyan withdrew his hand. “Close your shirt.”


Then he turned around to open the door.


Tang Jingci looked down at her chest, and her face flushed red.


“What were you two doing? Why did you lock the door?” Tang Wangjin looked confused.


“I stayed at the hotel for a long time. When I came in, I subconsciously locked it,” Qiao Xiyan explained.


Tang Wangjin raised his eyebrows, baffled.
