An hour later, a black Koenigsegg pulled into the Chi family's courtyard.
Chi Yu got out of the car. Without going home to change his clothes, he still looked the same as when he was at the hospital.
Jiang Shu was startled when she saw Chi Yu. She deliberately pretended not to recognize him. "May I ask who you are?"
"Mom, stop joking." Chi Yu looked speechless. His mother, Jiang Shu, had been well - protected by his father. Even in her forties or fifties, she was still as innocent and playful as a child.
"How are you talking to your mom!" Chi Weimin stepped forward and put his arm around Jiang Shu's shoulder. He seriously criticized Chi Yu. "Look at yourself! There are guests at home! You don't even know to pay attention to your image. It would be a miracle if you could find a girlfriend."
Chi Weimin's words were full of sarcasm.
Jiang Shu slapped his hand discontentedly. "How can you talk about our son like that?"
Chi Yu was used to seeing his parents flirting with each other since he was a child, so he didn't notice the words "there are guests" from Chi Weimin. He walked straight into the house.
"Chi Yu?"
Wang Lan called out uncertainly.
Hearing the voice, Chi Yu looked up at Wang Lan, frowning. "Why are you here?"
"Uncle Chi invited me to have dinner."
"Yes, I invited her. Xiaolan opened a shop outside your school. You two should communicate more. You know, your Uncle Wang and I have been comrades - in - arms for many years. If you could get along more with Xiaolan, our families would be even closer."
Chi Yu said, "Can you stop playing matchmaker? If you want our families to be closer, you might as well marry Uncle Wang."
Chi Weimin was furious. "You unfilial son! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Lan, standing beside them, noticed that Chi Yu was in a bad mood. She stepped in to mediate. "Uncle Chi, don't be angry. Chi Yu and I didn't have much contact before. We will get to know each other better in the future."
"Right, Chi Yu?" Wang Lan gave Chi Yu a look.
Chi Yu reluctantly cooperated. "Yes, we'll get to know each other better."
"When I came here just now, I saw a jadeite shop nearby. My grandma's birthday is next month. I want to pick a bracelet for her. Chi Yu, could you accompany me to have a look?"
Jiang Shu quickly agreed when she saw this situation. "Sure, sure. Let A Yu accompany you." She took Wang Lan's hand. "Don't think A Yu is a boy. He has a delicate mind and is really good at picking gifts. He picks gifts for his grandma every year on her birthday. You can just let him accompany you with confidence."
Chi Yu was in a gloomy mood and really wanted to go out for a walk. So the two of them left the Chi family one after another.
In the car.
Wang Lan looked at Chi Yu's appearance and finally couldn't help laughing. "Fortunately, you're good - looking enough. Otherwise, I'd feel embarrassed to go out with you looking like this."
Chi Yu gave her a disdainful look. "Why were you at my home?"
"Didn't I just say? Uncle Chi invited me."
Chi Yu sneered and immediately saw through her. "Come on. Your tricks might work on my parents, but you'd better tell me the truth."
"Was I seen through so quickly?不愧是 Professor Chi. Your mind really works fast."
"It's my dad. He's been urging me to go on blind dates recently. So I used you as a shield."
"Are you crazy? Why me? I've already fallen in love with someone. Don't have any thoughts about me."
Chi Yu leaned towards the car door, exuding an ultimate sense of masculinity.
Wang Lan wasn't angry when she saw his action. She changed the topic. "Sometimes, you need to create a sense of crisis when chasing a girl."
Chi Yu turned to look at her. "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand this? You like Qing Mian. Does Qing Mian like you?"
Chi Yu was silent for two seconds. His fingers tightened on the steering wheel. He said hoarsely, "I don't know."
"I'll teach you a way to quickly tell if she likes you."
"Tell me." Chi Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I'll pretend to be your girlfriend and deliberately show up in front of her. If she gets jealous, it means she likes you. If she shows no reaction, it means you have no chance."
Chi Yu refused without thinking. "I don't want her to be jealous."
Wang Lan was stunned. She had thought of many reasons why Chi Yu might refuse, but this one never occurred to her.
This time when Chi Yu saw Qing Mian, he clearly felt that she wasn't as happy as before. She had a lot on her mind and seemed insecure. She always curled up when sleeping.
He didn't want to test if Qing Mian liked him in this way.
"If she likes me, she'll be jealous and unhappy when she sees me with another woman. I don't want her to be unhappy. At least, I can't be the cause of her unhappiness."
Wang Lan was silent for two seconds. "What if she doesn't like you?"
Chi Yu answered her without hesitation. "There's no such thing as not liking."
"Alright. Just consider it a bad idea from me."
The car soon drove into the parking lot. Chi Yu found a restroom to casually tidy up his clothes. He then took out a pair of spare shoes from the trunk and changed into them before accompanying Wang Lan into the shop.
As soon as Chi Yu stepped into the shop, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Brother Chi Yu?!"
Lu Wenxi's voice rose an octave. She was just gossiping about his relationship at the hospital. Now she met the person involved. The heavens were really kind to her!
Lu Wenxi grabbed Qing Mian and walked towards Chi Yu.
Inside the shop, Wang Lan also heard the voice and turned around to see what was going on.
Lu Wenxi's eyes widened. "Sister Wang Lan, it's really you!"
"Xiaoxi?" Wang Lan called out uncertainly.
When she moved away, Lu Wenxi was just a little kid. Now the person standing in front of her was a beautiful young woman.
Lu Wenxi trotted forward and threw herself into Wang Lan's arms just like when she was a child. "Wuwuwuwu, Sister Wang Lan, I've missed you so much. No one has played with me since you moved. When did you come back? You didn't even tell me."
Wang Lan took two steps back because of her pounce. She looked at her with a smiling face. "I've been back for a short time. I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."
Lu Wenxi looked at the gentle woman in front of her and then at Chi Yu beside her. She felt a pang of regret in her heart. This was the perfect sister - in - law she had carefully selected for her useless brother! How could Brother Chi Yu have snatched her away first?!
Just as she was about to speak, Qing Mian suddenly said, "Sister Lan."
Qing Mian obediently called out.
Chi Yu raised his eyebrows beside her. He was quite dissatisfied with her different treatment. "Why do you only call her and not me?"
Was this something to compete about?
Qing Mian then called out to him, "Brother Chi Yu."
Only then was Chi Yu satisfied. He rubbed her head. "Good girl."
Lu Wenxi looked at Chi Yu's fickle behavior. Not only did he snatch away the sister - in - law she had carefully selected, but now he was also being so intimate with another woman in front of his girlfriend! And that woman was her Mianbao!
She couldn't bear it. Not even for a second!
Lu Wenxi stepped forward and slapped Chi Yu's hand away. She looked at him with a look of disgust like he was a scumbag. "You're already with Sister Wang Lan! How can you be so touchy - feely with other women? You scumbag!"
