Xu Tingyu didn't look at Zhang Qiu again. She didn't even remove Zhang Qiu's number from her blacklist.
She stayed in the hotel for another day and then went home with Qi Shifeng.
During this time, she was always waiting for Liu Ning to come and settle the score with her.
After all, she heard that Liu Ning's hair had been cut so messily that it looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. How could Liu Ning swallow this insult?
However, to her surprise, Liu Ning never came to find her.
She asked Qi Shifeng what was going on. Did he do something? Qi Shifeng just shrugged.
"Nope. I blocked her number and haven't contacted her since."
Xu Tingyu was a bit speechless.
But then she thought that she had also blocked Zhang Qiu. Suddenly, she felt that they were truly a perfect match.
They were even the same in the matter of blocking their mothers.
Since she couldn't get any information from Qi Shifeng, she sent a message to Qi Ruixi to find out.
Qi Ruixi then poured out all her grievances.
"Sister, you have no idea. Mom went crazy. First, she ransacked my place, suspecting that I was hiding a man at home."
"After we had a fight, she cried and threw a tantrum on the phone, insisting that I go to the hospital to see her."
"You know my situation. How could I dare to go? What if she attacks me? So I had to lie and say that I was on a business trip."
"Guess what? She called the big boss and scolded my supervisor."
"Thank goodness the big boss was quick - witted and guessed that I was lying. He even helped me cover it up."
"Then she kept sending me video calls and long messages every day. I'm too lazy to even open them. I just wish she would stop bothering me."
"Why are you even asking why she didn't come to find you? Isn't this a good thing?"
Qi Ruixi had been really tortured by Liu Ning recently.
Not only did Liu Ning call non - stop, but when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she would also send a series of messages.
She would also suddenly ask Qi Ruixi if she was in a relationship. She had these outbursts several times a day.
Later, seeing that Qi Ruixi didn't reply, she threatened her, saying that if she found out that Qi Ruixi was fooling around, she would break her legs.
Anyway, the Qi family would rather have an obedient disabled child than a healthy rebel.
Qi Ruixi was driven almost to the verge of a nervous breakdown by her mother's hysteria.
If it weren't for Zou Yu's constant comfort, she might have rushed to ask her mother what exactly she wanted.
"Sister, you don't have to feel sorry for me because of the fight between you and Mom."
"I'm sure Mom must have provoked you first. She's just bored and always looking for trouble."
"Let's just ignore her. It's just some hair damage. It will grow back. Let's not ask about it anymore."
It wasn't that Qi Ruixi didn't care about her mother. It was just that she couldn't bear to care.
Seeing the resentment towards Liu Ning in Qi Ruixi's words, Xu Tingyu didn't say much and naturally changed the topic.
"How are you recently? Is the vomiting still bad? Do you have any cravings?"
A new mother already has a lot on her plate. Having to act like a normal person and go to work is already annoying enough.
Liu Ning always bothering her, of course, made her impatient.
Now hearing Xu Tingyu ask about her situation, her tone became obviously happier.
"I'm much better. I just still feel nauseous when I smell something I don't like, but it's much better than before."
"I don't have any particular cravings. I just feel sleepy all day. I've been relying on my saved annual leave to slack off these days."
"Fortunately, Zou Yu is really considerate. He takes such good care of me. He's even losing weight while preparing for his exams. It really makes me feel bad for him."
Just by listening to her voice, without even seeing her expression, one could tell that she was happy and content.
Xu Tingyu carefully told her some precautions and also shared her own reactions when she was pregnant with Youyou.
At the end of the conversation, Qi Ruixi suddenly asked, "Sister, don't you want to have a younger brother or sister for Youyou? To make up for the regret."
Anyway, she planned to have more than one child.
Xu Tingyu shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not fair to Youyou."
She owed Youyou too much.
If she got pregnant again, she would surely want to make up for a lot of the past regrets and take very good care of this new baby.
However, in fact, what she should make up for was not the regret, but Youyou.
She couldn't transfer the regret for Youyou to another child.
Qi Ruixi thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Youyou is so well - behaved. Raising one is enough."
The two chatted for a while longer. Then Qi Ruixi suddenly said, "By the way, Yaoyao has officially announced her relationship for so many days. Shouldn't we ask her to treat us to a meal?"
"As the saying goes, an ugly daughter - in - law has to meet her in - laws. She's dating a movie star and has officially announced it. She can't keep hiding anymore."
During this period, they had all been busy with their own things and hadn't had a good chat.
Xu Tingyu also smiled and said, "I think you're right. We should have a meal before I leave."
Her flight was next Monday, which was less than three days away.
Hearing that she was leaving, Qi Ruixi quickly asked, "Will you come back?"
"Of course. My son is still here. I will definitely come back." Xu Tingyu smiled.
"That's good. I'll make the reservation. Let's go and meet Movie Star Fan."
Hearing that she would come back, Qi Ruixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She knew that her second brother had been with Xu Tingyu recently. If she didn't come back, her second brother would be heart - broken.
She didn't want to see her second brother who was depressed, silent, and lonely like he was in the previous years.
She preferred her second brother when he was with Xu Tingyu.
The two said they would make the reservation and quickly sent an invitation to Chen Chunyao in the group.
This time, Chen Chunyao replied quickly.
"Sure. It's only right to treat you to a meal. Since everyone is available, how about tonight?"
Anyway, they were all in Beijing. It was normal to have a meal on short notice.
Xu Tingyu naturally had no objections.
After the three of them agreed on the time and location, Xu Tingyu immediately started to dress up.
After all, it was the first time to meet her best friend's boyfriend. There were still some things to pay attention to to support her best friend.
When Qi Shifeng came back with Youyou after swimming, he saw Xu Tingyu applying her eyebrows.
Most of her makeup was already done. She just hadn't put on her lipstick yet.
"Are you going out tonight?" Qi Shifeng was a bit curious. He hadn't heard that she had any other plans.
Didn't they agree that she would spend the last few days with Youyou?
Because of this, he hadn't even gone to the company to work for the past few days.
"I've made a dinner appointment with Yaoyao. She's going to introduce her boyfriend to us today."
Xu Tingyu didn't hide anything and told him about her schedule generously.
But Qi Shifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "So you're going to meet that Fan Yi?"
"Yeah. We're going to have a meal together. Xixi will also be there."
Xu Tingyu finished applying her lipstick and showed a smile.
Youyou on the side kept praising, "Mommy is so beautiful."
