An Exclusive love-Chapter 372 - Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang
Chapter 372 Xin Qing and Ying QingcangThe next day, Chen Chen chose her dress and went back. The minute she entered, she felt amazed and wanted to run away subconsciously. But Tuan Zi had already gotten in.
“Grandma!”
Xin Qing happily held Tuan Zi, who had happily run towards her and kissed on both her cheeks, “Ahh! Look at my granddaughter! Did you miss grandma?”
Tuan Zi kissed Xin Qing too and then loudly replied, “Definitely!”
“Ah Cang, smile.” Xin Qing turned around and ordered Ying Qingcang who looked very serious.
Ying Qingcang made up a smile and Tuan Zi sweetly called, “Grandpa!”
“…um.” Although he answered with hesitation, his eyes looked more gentle.
Jiang Rui stared at Chen Chen for quite a while and saw her moving slowly towards the elevator. Then he frowned and said, “Where are you going?”
“Ah?” Chen Chen laughed out, “I… I lost the key of the car and have to look for it downstairs, downstairs.”
“You don’t have a car,” Jiang Rui reminded her.
Ying Cheng who had parked the car came out from the elevator, “Ah? What are you doing here?” He pushed Chen Chen back home and laughed when he saw the people on the couch, “Mum, you’re here!”
No wonder Chen Chen wanted to get away. She had to be afraid of Jiang Rui’s mother recognizing her.
Indeed, Chen Chen was quite frightened. There were a lot of things going on in her brain and she was too scared to be recognized.
“Chen Chen?” Xin Qing asked her smilingly, “Come here and let me have a look.”
Chen Chen slowly moved over, “Au… aunt.”
“You are supposed to call me mum instead of aunt!” Xin Qing was unsatisfied. She was so thrilled inside that Liuliu had grown up. She was so beautiful and looked nothing like Boss Wan’s frozen face.
Chen Chen carefully observed Xin Qing and found nothing exceptional besides her happy expression. So she felt relieved. The last time she saw Xin Qing, she was not even ten years old. More than ten years had gone by and her appearance had changed a lot. She couldn’t recognize her for sure.
“Call me properly!” Xin Qing urged her, “I can give you the present after you do so!”
Chen Chen took a look at Jiang Rui. Jiang Rui coughed a bit and said, “Just say it.”
“Mum…” Chen Chen held her tears back and said. She hadn’t said the word for almost ten years. And it reminded her of Chen Huan.
Xin Qing looked at her and cried first. She held Chen Chen and said, “Poor child, you…”
“Ah Qing.” Ying Qingcang caught her shoulder and pinched, “You scared her.”
“Ah! You’re right.” Xin Qing wiped off the tears, “I hope you don’t mind. I heard from Ying Cheng that you’ve struggled with Tuan Zi by your side. It was all Xiao Rui’s fault. If he found you sooner, you would have been saved from the pain.” She touched Chen Chen’s hand, “Why are you so thin?”
“Xiao Rui! Did you cook for Chen Chen?” Xin Qing stared at Jiang Rui angrily while Jiang Rui felt strange about it. In his memory, Xin Qing was cautious with strangers. Why would she be so warm to Chen Chen? It was too much even if it was for Tuan Zi.
Jiang Rui touched his chin and tried to glean if there was anything he didn’t know.
“Dad cooked. The food dad cooks is the most delicious!” Tuan Zi didn’t want to see Jiang Rui being wronged and explained, “My mother has a good physique and doesn’t get fat however she eats.”
Xin Qing held Tuan Zi and kissed her again. “Wow! Our Tuan Zi is so caring.” She stared at Ying Cheng who was eating a banana and said, “You are much cuter than your uncle was in his youth.”
“Mum, why bring me up?” The minute Ying Cheng finished his words, he got slapped by Ying Qingcang, “Why can’t she mention you?”
“Nothing, nothing!” Ying Cheng got closer with an obedient expression, “Mum, I missed you. Give me a hug.”
Xin Qing pushed him away, “You should leave with us later and stop living in Xiao Rui’s place. We have a place for you to live in.”
The Ying Family had several housing properties in the capital, but Ying Cheng didn’t want to move. He felt miserable living alone.
“Here, this is for you. See if you like it!” Xin Qing took out a box from her purse.
Chen Chen took it and opened it. There was a set of diamond accessories which used big pink diamonds and blue stones. The flowers looked lively and decent.
“It’s too valuable.” Chen Chen didn’t dare to accept it. Xin Qing felt unhappy, “You don’t like it?”
“No, no.” Chen Chen instantly waved her hand and said, “I’m afraid I may lose it.”
Xin Qing smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that. If you lose it, I will have another set made for you!”
“Just take it. Our mum has a diamond mine!” Ying Cheng said sourly, “In our home, only the girls can receive such treatment. My two brothers and me have never received any.”
“Nonsense!” Xin Qing poked on his forehead, “A few years ago, I sent you an earring. But you have never worn it.”
Ying Cheng pouted and replied, “The one you sent me has the shape of a rabbit. If I wear it, I’ll definitely be laughed at.”
“But your father wears it even though his is in the shape of a flower.”
Then Chen Chen noticed there was a flower shaped earring on Ying Qingcang’s right ear. The diamond on it was black which was really rare.
“Since you don’t dare to put it on, don’t blame your mother.” Ying Cheng became quiet when he saw Ying Qingcang’s cold eye. Ying Qingcang was definitely a slave to his wife. Even if Xin Qing told him to wear women’s clothes, he might not refuse.
Jiang Rui kept silent all the time, and Xin Qing blinked at him, “When the spring of next year comes and it gets warmer, you should hold a wedding!”
Before she arrived, Boss Wan was very angry that his daughter had married Jiang Rui without a ceremony. He might beat Jiang Rui up when he saw him in the future.
“Hum?” Chen Chen got shocked before Jiang Rui could say anything. She hurriedly said, “Don’t rush. Don’t rush. We can wait till summer to discuss over it!”
Xin Qing smiled to her, “Chen Chen, now that you’re married and have Tuan Zi. You will have Fang Zi or Yuan Zi in the future. You can be Mrs. Jiang with no worries. Xiao Rui will be a good husband!”
Fang Zi? Yuan Zi? Chen Chen moved her lips and realized the name she had come up with was not the weirdest.
“Mum.” Jiang Rui had to say something to change the subject, “Will you go to tomorrow’s party?”
“No.”
“Yes!”
Xin Qing stared at Ying Qingcang, “Why don’t we go? Chen Chen doesn’t know anyone here. What if she gets hurt by someone?”
“Nobody can hurt her as long as Jiang Rui is there,” Ying Qingcang said softly, “You hate parties the most. Tomorrow, many people will try to talk to you there.”
“But if we don’t go, there will be no one to support Chen Chen.” Xin Qing knew clearly about how the people in the capital were. They all judged others by their status. She couldn’t say that Chen Chen was the Miss from the Wan Family, so there might be a lot of people who would get her in trouble.
Tuan Zi saw Ying Qingcang blinking at her and suddenly understood. She leaned towards Xin Qing’s ear and said something, then Xin Qing nodded as if she understood something as well.
“Okay, then we won’t go.” She stared at Jiang Rui and said, “You can’t let Chen Chen and Tuan Zi be treated badly!”
Jiang Rui smiled. “I won’t, mum!”
But Ying Qingcang was surprised, wondering about what the little girl told Ah Qing that persuaded her so quickly…
In fact, Tuan Zi just told Xin Qing that if they went, Jiang Rui would lose the chance to save the beautiful girl. Xin Qing understood it and agreed without hesitation.
“Mum, don’t worry. I’ll go with them.” Ying Cheng patted his chest.
The dinner was naturally cooked by Xin Qing. She was worried that Chen Chen was too thin, so she made a pot of pork skin soup with ribs. Every time Chen Chen said she was full, Ying Qingcang would give her an eye.
“Ah Qing seldom cooks.”
What he meant was that he didn’t let his wife cook. Since she was cooking for you, you should eat it up as fast as possible.
Chen Chen understood it instantly, especially when she saw Jiang Rui who used to eat a little trying hard to eat, she got herself a third bowl of rice…
When dinner was over, Xin Qing said a lot to them, which was to have them visit the Ying family directly after the party was over and stay there for the New Year. When they left, they took Hei Zi away intentionally.
Chen Chen found that Hei Zi was unwilling to go when it was taken away and its eyes were full of tears. But Xin Qing said happily,
“See, dogs like me so much. They are so happy that they almost cry!”
Under Chen Chen strong stress, Hei Zi unwillingly left the little master and went along with the beautiful grandma whom it had never seen.
“Huh…” Chen Chen felt relaxed after they went away. She was afraid that she might say something wrong and get recognized, so she was anxious throughout the night.
Jiang Rui stared at her and asked, “Are you tired?”
“Nope!” Chen Chen sat up and said, “Your mother is really young!” Xin Qing looked almost the same as she did in Chen Chen’s memories. Maybe time was always better for those happy women.
“It’s our mum.” Jiang Rui corrected her, “She likes it when you call her like that.”
Chen Chen stopped herself from rolling her eyes and nodded, “Yes, yes, it’s our mum, okay?”
“She is nice to you.” Jiang Rui sat beside her and Chen Chen instinctively leaned back because of the constriction.
Chen Chen focused her eyes on the cup in her hand and said quickly, “Love the kid, love the mother. It’s because she likes Tuan Zi and I’m Tuan Zi’s mother. So I get her favor.”
“No.” Jiang Rui’s body leaned down. “She just likes you.”
Chen Chen’s heart was beating wildly inside. They were so close to each other and their foreheads almost touched.
“Ah!” There came Ying Cheng’s voice, “Sorry, you can continue, continue!”
Chen Chen pushed Jiang Rui away with much effort, but Jiang Rui fell onto the floor because of her strength. It was uncertain whether the man did it on purpose. He held Chen Chen’s arm and they fell on the thick blanket together. Jiang Rui was lying on the floor while Chen Chen was riding on his body.
“Uncle!” Tuan Zi hit Ying Cheng, “I told you not to come out. You see, my dad almost kissed mum. It’s all your fault!”
Hearing her daughter’s words, Chen Chen felt even more embarrassed. She struggled to stand up and was tripped by the blanket. That time she fell directly towards Jiang Rui’s face. Seeing Jiang Rui’s face getting bigger and bigger in front of her, Chen Chen decided to sacrifice her back and fell onto the ground.
But the man held her waist, and… and then her lips felt a warm touch.
It was soft with a light smell of tobacco.
Chen Chen suddenly opened her eyes and was confronted with a pair of dark deep eyes. There seemed to be a vortex which was trying to suck her in, to let her die in there and never let her go.
“Ahahah…” She screamed and jumped up. Then Chen Chen stepped on Jiang Rui’s belly and rushed back to the room.
