At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan was already standing in front of Li Miao. She forced a smile and explained to Niu Allan, “Grandma Niu, Little Uncle discussed with us to bring something to my Aunt. He just left first. We were slow on the road and were a little late.”
She wasn’t a fool, so she naturally understood the current situation.
Qin Xiaojie had come to see their Aunt in private. He was dressed like a peacock with its tail open. It was obvious that he had some feelings for their Aunt.
Meanwhile, Little Aunt was not wearing any makeup at the moment. She was either not aware that Qin Xiaojie was coming or she knew he was coming, but she was not interested in him at all.
No matter what, she couldn’t let Niu Allan misunderstand.
It was obvious that Niu Allan did not have a good impression of her grandparents.
She had been brooding over Second Aunt marrying Second Uncle for so many years.
If she mistakenly thought Qin Xiaojie had something to do with Little Aunt, wouldn’t she explode completely?
Perhaps even Second Uncle would be implicated.
Niu Allan sneered and asked Ji Yuanyuan, “Why? Do I look like I’m easy to fool?”
Li Miao frowned and immediately grabbed Ji Yuanyuan’s arm, wanting to pull her behind her.
However, she did not expect Qin Mucheng to be one step ahead of her and stand in front of Ji Yuanyuan.
Qin Mucheng was now more than 1.7 meters tall, taller than Ji Yuanyuan and Li Miao.
He stood in front of them and blocked them.
Niu Allan could always mock Ji Yuanyuan.
However, she did not dare to do so in front of Qin Mucheng.
She could only suppress the anger in her heart and said to Qin Mucheng, “Mucheng, this has nothing to do with you. Move aside. I want to talk to Li Miao.”
“Grandma, I don’t think there’s a need for that anymore,” Qin Mucheng said softly. Aunty didn’t know that Little Uncle was coming, and she and Little Uncle didn’t talk much.”
Niu Allan looked at Qin Mucheng and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really a little awkward and Li Miao’s expression was not too good.
Qin Xiaojie reached out to pull Niu Allan, “Mother, let’s go home. We’ll talk when we get home.”
However, Niu Allan shook off his hand and looked at Li Miao stubbornly, “I only say one sentence. After that, 1’11 leave.”
After a pause, she said heavily, “I have my own requirements for my future daughter-in-law.”
These words were really hurtful.
This was to say that Li Miao’s own conditions were poor and did not meet her requirements.
Ji Zi’ang also understood. He scoffed at Niu Allan’s words and could not help but retort, “My grandparents have their own requirements for their future Son-in-law. My Aunt is a highly educated talent and she’s good-looking.”
Although he felt sorry for this Little Uncle, he felt Litle Uncle was not worthy of his aunt.
Niu Allan frowned and looked at him, “She hasn’t even gotten into the postgraduate program, and already starting to be arrogant? You can show off when you get in!”
Qin Mucheng frowned when he heard this.
“You don’t have to worry about whether I can pass the exam. However, 1 can assure you what you’re worried about will never happen in this lifetime. I want my future partner to have open-minded parents. Otherwise, 1 won’t consider it.” Li Miao said casually.
These words made Niu Allan extremely angry.
She held her chest and looked at Li Miao in disbelief.
Li Miao did not give her a chance to speak. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and the others and said in a low voice, “Come in, it’s hot outside.”
“Is this how your parents taught you? How dare you talk to your elders like that?” Niu Allan shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Alright! Don’t be unreasonable here.” Qin Xiaojie couldn’t take it anymore. He immediately flung his sleeves and shouted.
Niu Allan was stunned. She didn’t expect her son to treat her like this for an outsider.
“I’ll be honest with you. I do like Li Miao. The more you stop her, the more 1 like her. Just like my Sister back then, the more you stop her, the more things will go out of control. Do you understand this kind of reverse psychology?”
“You…” Niu Allan stretched out her trembling hand and pointed at Qin Xiaojie’s nose, unable to say a word.
“I knew it. You…” She turned her head again and aimed at Li Miao.
However, before Niu Allan could speak, Qin Xiaojie reached out and grabbed her wrist, “You don’t have to shout at her like this. It’s my business that I like her. You don’t have to try to make her back off by showing your unreasonable behavior, because not only does she not like me, but she also hates me to the core. Are you satisfied now?”
After he finished speaking, Qin Xiaojie turned around and left without waiting for Niu Allan to react.
Niu Allan looked in the direction where Qin Xiaojie had left and then looked at Li Miao. For a moment, there was a hesitant expression on her face.
A moment later, she still chose her son.
She also turned around and went downstairs.
However, perhaps Niu Allan had left in a hurry. When she reached the second floor, she accidentally kicked over the things that Ji Zi’ang had left there.
She did not have time to tidy up and left immediately.
When Ji Zi’ang saw the lunchbox fall to the ground, he gasped and quickly went downstairs to pick it up.
Fortunately, the lunchbox was tightly buckled and only a little spilled out.
“Why is she like this?” Ji Zi’ang mumbled as he carried the lunchbox and cherries upstairs.
Qin Xiaojie’s words just now did not seem to have any effect on Li Miao. She forced a smile, opened the door, and let the three children in.
A few of them sat on the sofa. Li Miao took a fan from the master bedroom and blew at them, “Is it hot? I’ll go down and buy you a few popsicles to eat.”
Qin Mucheng shook his head first, “It’s alright, Auntie. We will go back for dinner later.”
When Li Miao heard this, she did not say anything and sat down.
Ji Zi’ang opened the lunch box, “Auntie, this is the fish soup that Auntie Qi made. Find a bowl to put it in. I’ll return the lunch box to Auntie Qi later.”
Seeing this, Li Miao quickly went to the kitchen to find a big bowl and put the fish soup in.
After washing the lunchboxes, she returned them to Ji Zi’ang.
“I’ve troubled Uncle Qin and Sister Qi. Go back and help me thank them.” Li Miao said politely.
After a moment, she said hesitantly, “Don’t mention what happened just now when you go back. Don’t worry others.”
Originally, the two families had been at odds with each other. Now that the Second Brother and his Second Auntie had a child in the past two years, the relationship between the two families had finally improved.
If the family knew about what happened today, it would inevitably create a barrier between them and the Qin family.
The two of them were inextricably linked now, and there was a high chance that Yuanyuan and Mucheng would be together in the future.
She really didn’t want things to get worse..
