Chapter 449 The Greedy Little Country Girl 29
Wen Liya couldn't help laughing: "What's so mysterious?"
Cheng Qinji was rarely so shy, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Qinji, is there something wrong with you?"
"Aunt, can't you hope for me to be well?" Cheng Qinji muttered in a weak voice, "I want to go home."
Wen Liya raised her eyebrows: "How come I didn't know that our Qin Ji is still a home-loving child? When you were in the capital, weren't you away from home all day?"
Cheng Qinji was used to acting like a spoiled child: "Aunt, I've been out for more than half a month, don't you miss me?"
"Don't give me that. This won't work on your aunt," Wen Liya snorted. "Qin Ji, tell me the truth. Did you get into trouble by following Xiao Zhu around?"
Cheng Qinji was somewhat helpless: "In your mind, I am the kind of person who causes trouble wherever I go?"
"I wanted to tell you all this after I got home, Auntie. My twentieth birthday is coming up soon. Don't you think I should find a partner?"
Although she knew that her nephew always spoke in a somewhat erratic way, Wen Liya still had trouble following his topic: "Are you looking for a partner?"
She suddenly realized: "Qin Ji, do you have a girl you like?"
Cheng Qinji didn't say anything more: "Anyway, aunt, just tell my uncle that I'm in a hurry to go back. If he doesn't let me go back, I'll have no partner in this life!"
"By the way," he added before hanging up the phone, "I'll be back in two days, and I'll be bringing a friend to stay with me. Remember to clean up the rooms, just the one closest to mine."
Wen Liya looked at the receiver in confusion and put it on the phone. Cheng Xie couldn't help it anymore and put down the newspaper: "Why did Qin Ji call?"
"This kid," Wen Liya didn't take Cheng Qinji's words to heart, "I think he can't stay here any longer, and he's making a fuss about coming back."
Cheng Xie snorted, not knowing whether he was happy or angry: "I haven't seen him so attached to home before. Why did I hear you say just now that he's looking for a partner?"
Wen Liya nodded: "I guess he used this as an excuse, and said that if you don't let him come back, he will never have a partner in his life."
No, she frowned again: "Qin Ji also said that she would bring a friend to live at home in a few days and let me clean up the room."
"Oh?" Cheng Xie raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, "Where did you find a partner?"
Wen Liya shook her head: "You took it seriously? I think Qin Ji just said it casually."
Cheng Xie picked up the newspaper again and read: "This kid always does things unexpectedly. Maybe he really brings someone back. I should clean up his room."
"Then everything should be fine with Boss Li, right?" Wen Liya thought of something else. "I don't know how far they have talked. I'll go home and ask my dad tomorrow night when I'm free."
Cheng Xie comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Boss Li has a bad temper, but he won't dwell on such a small matter. After all, he was in the wrong that day."
Cheng Hexi walked in from the door and saw his parents sitting in the living room. He greeted them, "Mom and Dad."
Cheng Xie said "hmm" and glanced at the clock on the wall: "Are you very busy at work today? Why did you get off work just now?"
"I didn't get off work so late," Cheng Hexi sat down on the sofa, "I was just walking around outside with my friends."
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Wen Liya couldn't help but ask: "Did you go to Pei's house?"
Cheng Hexi fell on the sofa with his head raised, hugging the sofa pillow in his hands: "Mom, I'm so old, and you always catch me asking questions. Where did I go and who did I meet all day? Why do you always ask me?"
Cheng Xie snorted and laughed: "Isn't your mother worried that you will be sad?"
He looked at Wen Liya who was sitting next to Cheng Hexi and said, "I think you should just stop caring about her and let her be. She will understand when she suffers."
Wen Liya glared at Cheng Xie and said, "How can you be a father like this?"
Cheng Hexi also said: "That's right, Dad, my mom is worried about me, but you let me suffer and be sad. Is there any father like you?"
Cheng Xie acted helpless: "Who can stop some people? They have to taste the bitterness of love."
Cheng Hexi is still young after all. Although he has grown up in a relaxed family atmosphere, he was quite angry when he heard his father teasing him like this. He raised his hand and threw the pillow in his hand at Cheng Xie.
Wen Liya patted her and said, "You are getting more and more crazy. You started fighting before you even finished a few words."
She looked at her daughter, thought about it, and decided to make it clear: "Hexi, you and Jingche are not destined to be together, so you should let it go as soon as possible."
Cheng Hexi was a little impatient: "Mom, why do you always tell me this?"
She lowered her head slightly and played with the laces of her skirt in her hands. How come she and Pei Jingche were not suitable? Was she not worthy of Pei Jingche?
"Your Aunt Huang just told your dad today that Jing Che has a girlfriend and will bring her home in two days."
Cheng Hexi's face changed: "What?!"
Is Pei Jingche dating someone?
Why didn't she know?
She went to Pei's house every few days, and Aunt Huang never told her about it.
How could Wen Liya not see what she wanted to say: "Your Aunt Huang didn't tell you in person because she cared about your face. Otherwise, why would she bring this up with your father?"
Cheng Hexi was a little anxious: "Where did Pei Jingche find his partner? What's her name? What does she look like?"
Cheng Xie turned a page of the newspaper calmly and said lightly, "That's the Pei family's business. What's your business?"
Cheng Hexi's eyes turned red. He picked up another pillow on the sofa and threw it at Cheng Xie. He got up from the sofa angrily and ran upstairs.
Wen Liya looked at Cheng Xie helplessly: "Can't you say less with your mouth?"
Cheng Xie put down the newspaper and did not respond to her words. Instead, he said, "When Qin Ji comes back, we have to keep an eye on them and don't let them get together."
"One of them is full of bad intentions, and the other has bad intentions. If they cut off the red line of the kid from the Pei family, how can I meet Lao Huang?"

A few days later, early in the morning, Pei Jingche drove to Zhou's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Zhou Jinjun and his wife: "Uncle, aunt, how is Cang Cang's luggage packed?"
Zhou Jinjun motioned him to look at the handbag on the stool: "It's almost done. Cangcang likes to sleep in. She just got up and is combing her hair. Jingche, wait for her for a while."
Pei Jingche smiled tolerantly: "It's okay, I made an appointment with her too early, it's normal that she can't get up, I found someone to buy a sleeper berth, and I'll let her rest for a while after we get on the train."
Shen Weicang walked out of the inner room. She had uniquely braided two colorful hairbands into her braids today. She jumped in front of Pei Jingche with excitement on her face: "See if I am doing anything different today?"
Pei Jingche thought about it with her, and pretended to be enlightened: "Cang Cang's braids are really eye-catching today, so beautiful."
Shen Weicang pinched her braids with both hands and turned around, humming a song and sitting down on the bench: "Jing Che, have you eaten? Let's eat together."
"Yes," Shi Cuiyun served Shen Weicang some rice, "Jing Che, you guys are going on a long journey, you can't go on an empty stomach."
Pei Jingche sat down and said, "Then I'll have a meal at my uncle's house."
After breakfast, Pei Jingche carried Shen Weicang's luggage and walked out of the yard with her, and Zhou Jinjun and his family saw them out.
"Uncle, sister-in-law, sister Qingqing, I'm leaving now. I'll send you a telegram when I get there."
Seeing that the two were about to get in the car, Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun couldn't help but remind them:
"Jing Che, this is the first time our Cang Cang has traveled far away. I heard there are many scammers and human traffickers on the train. You have to take good care of her."
Pei Jingche smiled and nodded, and solemnly agreed: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely protect Cang Cang."
