Chapter 217: Quid pro quo
Chapter 217
"Can you not be so cheesy?!" Xia Qiqi rolled her eyes, "Ye Jinghuai, just tell me straight, do you have some problem with me?! Don't say no, I'm not stupid, I can see it! You not only don't talk to me, but oppose me everywhere, I watch variety shows, you insist on watching news, I watch TV dramas and you watch military technology shows! Tell me, what did I ever do to offend you?!"
An Nuan glanced at Ye Jinghuai.
Then looked back at the TV, stared blankly, "Isn't this Animal Planet?"
"Because we couldn't agree, so we chose something neither of us likes!"
"..." This was just too much.
An Nuan couldn't help but look at Ye Jinghuai again.
Xia Qiqi was childish enough.
But Ye Jinghuai was just as childish.
"Ye Jinghuai, tell me, what exactly do you dislike about me? You're my best friend's husband, just say it, I won't get angry." Xia Qiqi put on a very generous look.
Ye Jinghuai glared at Xia Qiqi.
Then said one word, "Stupid."
Xia Qiqi was stunned for a second first.
Seemingly confirming what she had heard.
A second later she reacted.
She exploded at that moment.
She got up from the sofa to fight Ye Jinghuai, "You're the stupid one! Which eye of yours sees me as stupid? Ye Jinghuai, you scumbag!"
An Nuan hugged Xia Qiqi.
She was really speechless about this snarling woman.
"An Nuan, you're actually helping Ye Jinghuai bully me, you actually turned against me for a man..." Xia Qiqi looked at An Nuan in disbelief.
Looked at An Nuan holding her and not letting go.
An Nuan really wanted to knock Xia Qiqi unconscious to shut her up.
She was holding Qiqi now certainly not to help Ye Jinghuai.
It was just that Ye Jinghuai still had a gunshot wound, with Xia Qiqi's carelessness, it would be strange if his wound didn't rupture again.
"Alright, he has low IQ, stop fussing over him." An Nuan mediated.
Xia Qiqi paused.
Hearing An Nuan's words, Ye Jinghuai's expression also clearly changed.
Xia Qiqi suddenly laughed loudly, "That's right too, scumbags generally have low IQ."
Ye Jinghuai's expression was clearly unhappy.
Luckily at this moment, Zhongshu came to tell them lunch was ready.
So their battle did not escalate further.
An Nuan dragged Xia Qiqi to go eat lunch.
Ye Jinghuai also stood up from the sofa.
An Nuan couldn't help but look back at that moment.
Ye Jinghuai was not the sort of man who would casually criticize others, unless, that person really provoked him.
Xia Qiqi could not possibly have provoked him.
But Xia Qiqi had clearly provoked Xiao Nanchen.
So.
What exactly was the relationship between Ye Jinghuai and Xiao Nanchen?!
At the dining table.
It was inevitable that Xia Qiqi would make some noise.
Under An Nuan's gaze, Ye Jinghuai basically didn't speak either.
Although Xia Qiqi was unhappy with Ye Jinghuai, she had to admit at that moment, An Nuan really had Ye Jinghuai trained well.
Was this really the power of the fairer sex?
Back when An Nuan was with Gu Yan Sheng, she really felt An Nuan had become someone else.
Now with Ye Jinghuai...
An Nuan was... herself.
After lunch.
Xia Qiqi received a phone call from her dad.
She didn't want to answer it originally.
An Nuan forced her to answer.
So Xia Qiqi reluctantly answered unwillingly, "What?"
"Come home, let's properly discuss you and Nanchen." Xia Zheng Hai's tone was stern.
"Nothing to discuss, I'd die before marrying Xiao Nanchen. I'll also never go back to the Xia family again, from now on, I'm estranged from all of you!"
"Xia Qiqi!" Xiao Zheng Hai was clearly furious on the phone!
An Nuan quickly took Xia Qiqi's phone and said to it, "Uncle Xia, this is An Nuan. Qiqi is at my house now, I'll bring her back in a bit."
Xia Zheng Hai seemed to sigh and said heavily, "Thank you, Nuan Nuan."
"You're too kind, uncle." An Nuan smiled slightly, "We'll be back in half an hour."
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up, An Nuan said to Xia Qiqi, "Let's go, I'll send you back."
"I'm not going back."
"Things have to be resolved eventually. Avoiding it isn't a solution, let's go back and see what your dad wants to do."
"I don't want to." Xia Qiqi was stubborn.
"Qiqi." An Nuan's expression sank.
She was clearly somewhat angry.
Xia Qiqi was a coward in front of An Nuan.
When An Nuan got angry, she would usually obey.
At that moment she was clearly somewhat aggrieved, "Nuan Nuan, I really don't want to marry Xiao Nanchen."
"I know, we're just going back to listen to your dad's opinion now. No matter what, you and your dad have a father-daughter bond, no matter how much you dislike him, he still loves you most in this world."
"No way. He loves Xiao Qiang the most." Xia Qiqi retorted.
"If he loved Xiao Qiang so much why didn't he have another child with her?" An Nuan asked her, "Isn't it because he was afraid to hurt you even more?!"
"..." Xia Qiqi pouted.
At that moment she was rendered speechless by An Nuan.
"In any case, your dad would never harm you." An Nuan said, "Let's go, come back with me."
Xia Qiqi followed An Nuan unwillingly.
Ye Jinghuai watched their departing backs like that.
He sighed lightly.
Abandoned by the wife again.
...
An Nuan and Xia Qiqi took Hu Feng's car and arrived at the Xia villa.
Entering the hall.
Xia Zheng Hai and Xiao Qiang were there.
The two seemed somewhat tired.
Maybe they hadn't slept all night.
Xia Qiqi looked at them and was still standoffish.
She didn't take the initiative to speak either.
It was An Nuan who politely greeted, "Uncle, auntie."
"Have a seat, Nuan Nuan." Xia Zheng Hai only greeted An Nuan.
An Nuan smiled slightly, pulling the stubborn Xia Qiqi to sit on the sofa at the side.
After sitting down.
Xia Zheng Hai spoke, "Early this morning, your auntie and I went back to the hospital to ask the doctor about Nanchen's leg injury. The doctor told us very clearly that the chances of full recovery for his right leg are very low, which means Nanchen is really crippled in one leg!"
"I'll compensate him!" Xia Qiqi said impulsively, "It's the right leg right, I'll cut mine off right now and give it to him!"
"Calm down!" Xia Zheng Hai scolded her.
"Isn't that what you mean?!" Xia Qiqi taunted sarcastically.
"What we mean is, name your terms, what would make you agree to marry Xiao Nanchen?!" Xiao Qiang stated directly.
"No terms would make me agree..."
"Would you agree if your dad and I divorced?" Xiao Qiang asked.
That moment.
Still shocked Xia Qiqi.
An Nuan also couldn't help feeling heartache.
Everyone knew.
Xia Zheng Hai and his second wife Xiao Qiang were deeply in love for half their lives.
Yet at this moment they chose to let go for the sake of their son's happiness.
"Your dad and I divorce, and you marry my son." Xiao Qiang looked at Xia Qiqi earnestly asking her, "Would this be acceptable terms?"
