"You go back later and tell him to put the matter of Xiang Yun aside for the time being."
As soon as Chi Yu finished speaking, Chi Weichuan immediately shouted, "Why?!"
"Big brother, you're not going soft on that imposter, are you!"
Hearing this, Chi Yu glanced at Chi Weichuan, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.
Chi Weichuan also realized he had said something wrong and didn't dare to continue. He tightly shut his mouth and even made a zipping motion over it.
"Qingmian wants to learn self - defense. I'm not very relieved entrusting this to others. Let Qiu Tang teach her. You keep an eye on Xiang Yun. Call me anytime if there's anything."
"Little sister - in - law wants to learn self - defense?" Hearing this, Chi Weichuan's expression instantly turned excited, but then he quickly looked a bit tangled. "But little sister - in - law has never been exposed to this before. Can her small frame really handle it?"
Chi Yu was also a bit worried.
He remembered the determined look on Qingmian's face when she mentioned this before.
"She'll get better with more practice. No one is born knowing how to do it."
"It's good for her to learn some self - defense. At least she'll have the ability to protect herself."
Chi Yu's face also looked a bit solemn.
Since Qingmian came back from Mexico, her constitution had indeed become much weaker than before.
When she was a kid, Qingmian actually had pretty good physical strength.
She used to climb over walls and sneak out quite often.
Learning self - defense shouldn't be too difficult for her now.
Even as a little girl, she could wrap him around her finger. During that time, she had coaxed quite a bit of pocket money out of him with her sweet mouth.
They went to the amusement park and had big meals.
She was such a cute little girl, but when it came to tricking people, she was quite good at it.
Thinking of these things, Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?"
Chi Weichuan beside him looked at Chi Yu as if he had seen a ghost.
He had just looked so solemn, but suddenly he was smiling like a lovesick fool. No wonder Chi Weichuan was scared.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Chi Yu's face. He coughed lightly twice. "It's nothing."
"Hey, didn't you buy a lot of cat food? Xiaoju should be hungry. Go and feed it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Weichuan turned his head and looked behind him. There was still a full bowl of cat food in Xiaoju's bowl that hadn't been touched.
It seemed that Chi Yu had just fed the cat before he came.
Chi Weichuan looked at the cat bowl and then at Chi Yu.
"Indeed, Xiaoju should be hungry."
He quickly climbed up from the sofa and walked towards the cat bowl.
...
...
At the Lu family's.
After dinner, Fu Huiyi pulled Jiang Zhirou's hand and talked non - stop.
"Qingmian, does your throat feel better? Auntie didn't lie to you, right? My throat - moistening soup is top - notch. When Wenxi and Wenxuan were kids, as soon as they got sick, their throats would get inflamed. Over time, I developed this soup. It clears internal heat and moistens the throat."
Fu Huiyi was beaming with a big smile.
Looking at the kind - faced woman in front of her, although Jiang Zhirou knew these words were meant for Shen Qingmian, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She nodded and looked at Fu Huiyi with a smiling face. "Auntie Fu is really amazing. I'm so envious of Wenxi."
As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Fu Huiyi's face faded a bit, and she immediately looked concerned.
"Qingmian, come to our house for meals anytime in the future. I've learned a lot of new dishes recently. Come and taste them and give me some advice."
Fu Huiyi looked at Jiang Zhirou with a look of pity in her eyes and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Got it, Auntie Fu. I'll come as soon as I'm free. Don't嫌 me for eating too much then."
Hearing this, Fu Huiyi's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Come often, come often."
Qingmian rarely joked. Seeing her joking with her now, the smile on Fu Huiyi's face grew even wider.
"Alright, Mom. It's getting late. Let Mianbao go to sleep. She just came back from the hospital today. You can talk to her tomorrow. There's plenty of time ahead. No need to rush."
Lu Wenxi's voice interrupted their conversation.
"Look at me, I just can't stop talking. Qingmian, have a good rest tonight and sleep well."
After saying that, Fu Huiyi let go of Jiang Zhirou's hand.
Lu Wenxi pulled her towards the bedroom.
"My mom just can't stop talking once she starts. I was thinking we could watch a movie and chat for a while, but it's almost midnight now."
Lu Wenxi said as she led Jiang Zhirou towards the bedroom.
There was a faint look of disappointment on her face.
Jiang Zhirou envied the family atmosphere of the Lu family. She was unconsciously infected by their emotions.
"We can watch it tomorrow. After all, there's plenty of time ahead."
Jiang Zhirou repeated what Wenxi had just said to Wenxi.
As they were talking, they reached the bedroom door.
Lu Wenxi turned her head and looked at Jiang Zhirou behind her. She raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, so have a good rest tonight and go to bed early."
"Get your body in good shape so we can watch the movie properly tomorrow."
Lu Wenxi's words made it sound less like they were going to watch a movie and more like they were going to war.
Jiang Zhirou was amused by her words. She imitated Lu Wenxi's action and patted her on the shoulder too. "Okay, get in good shape and watch the movie properly tomorrow."
After saying that, Lu Wenxi turned around and walked towards her own bedroom.
Jiang Zhirou stood by the door and watched Lu Wenxi's back. Just as she was about to push the door open, Jiang Zhirou suddenly spoke.
"Wenxi."
Lu Wenxi turned her head and looked at her, looking confused. "Huh? What's up?"
"Good night." Jiang Zhirou said.
Lu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across her face. Looking at Jiang Zhirou, she said, "Good night."
After exchanging good - nights, Jiang Zhirou turned around and walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
The moment the door closed, the smile on her face gradually faded.
When the day came that her identity was exposed, all this love she was receiving now would probably disappear.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhirou took out her phone. She scanned the room, closed the window, locked the door, and finally dialed Si Moshen's number.
As soon as the phone rang, the other end picked up.
"So fast? Were you just waiting for my call?"
Jiang Zhirou joked to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Yes."
Si Moshen answered without any hesitation.
Jiang Zhirou was a bit stunned, but she didn't think too much about it.
Si Moshen had always had a volatile temper. He had played a lot of tricks on her when they were kids. To her, this was just another new way of teasing.
She was just about to start talking about the important matter when Si Moshen's voice came through the phone again.
"What's wrong with your throat?"
"Nothing. I have a cold."
Jiang Zhirou didn't really want to talk about the allergy, so she just casually brushed it off.
"A cold doesn't sound like this."
Si Moshen replied instantly.
"Do you want me to find out on my own or are you going to tell me voluntarily?"
His voice was a few degrees colder than before.
Jiang Zhirou pouted. Knowing she couldn't hide it from him, she simply confessed. "I had an allergy. I ate some walnuts at lunch today."
There was complete silence on the other end. Just as Jiang Zhirou was about to speak, the man's voice suddenly rang out.
"Did Chi Yu let you eat them?"
There was a hint of anger in his voice, and it was obviously colder than before.
