But...but he couldn't say anything!
After all, he knew that the more people there were, the more likely things would go wrong, and he didn't want his second uncle to be entangled in the current troubles like him.
They are engaged in research and development, not national security staff. Their full-time job is to uncover all criminals who undermine national security and harm national interests!
So, at this moment, being beaten by his second uncle, Xi Jingyu knew that he could only endure it and could do nothing else.
For example, explain.
Another example is fighting back.
The reason?
To explain, the more you explain, the more unclear it may be. Before catching the big fish behind the scenes, he must strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality and must keep his mouth shut in front of others except for the leaders who have assigned him tasks.
Fighting back will only arouse greater anger in the second uncle's heart.
“Tell me, what is your relationship with that Xiao Wang in the logistics department?”
After beating Xi Jingyu until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, Minghan threw him away. He stared coldly at his sister-in-law, gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to say something false, I won't mind loosening your bones again!"
Relax your muscles and bones?
It was obviously a greeting directed at his face. Even if he didn't look in the mirror at this moment, he knew that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. One word can be used to describe it: "miserable".
Xi Jingyu thought silently. He sat on the edge of the bed, pointed to the chair next to him, and asked Minghan to sit down.
However, Minghan stood still: "Don't think about getting through!"
Her face was dark and her tone was cold, which showed how bad Minghan was at this moment.
“Ordinary colleague relationship.”
Xi Jingyu replied.
“Do you think I will believe it?”
Minghan gritted his teeth: "My eldest sister has only given birth to a baby for you, and you are not getting along with other women. What's the matter? Do you dislike my eldest sister and want to raise one outside? Or are you saying that in While my eldest sister was pregnant, you already raised her outside and bought yourself another home? "
"Second brother! You are simply wronging me! You don't know how much I care about Weiwei. Moreover, when I married Weiwei, I promised my parents that I would love Weiwei for the rest of my life and be good to Weiwei!"
Xi Jingyu felt bitter in his heart. He hoped that Minghan could see the sincerity in his eyes and know that his love for Mingwei was not fake at all, so that he could stop worrying about Xiao Wang from the logistics department.
"Colleague relationship? Did I wrong you? Do you care about my eldest sister? Then tell me, why did you go against the norm and let Xiao Wang from the logistics department approach you? Xi Jingyu, I have known you for many years, and I still understand your character. Yes, and now you are allowed to allow other women to get close to you only because you are also interested in them, otherwise, you will not seem to be a different person. "
Minghan actually made a misunderstanding. It was precisely because Xi Jingyu was uncharacteristically different that it meant there was something going on, even something big. After all, what they were doing, and the weapons they were currently developing were weapons with a high level of confidentiality.
If he could think of this, it would not be difficult for Minghan to guess that Xi Jingyu was being targeted at the moment, and it would not be difficult to imagine that Xi Jingyu was acting under the orders of his boss.
Of course, people sometimes tend to get dark under the lamp.
In addition, Mingwei gave birth not long ago. As an elder brother, seeing that her sister had not given birth for a long time, but her good brother-in-law was suspected of being outside, he inevitably felt sorry for his sister and at the same time felt angry at the so-called brother-in-law.
Hence, I can’t help but not think too much about it.
After listening to what Minghan said, Xi Jingyu felt like Huang Lian.
You can imagine that he is acting out of character, how could you not think that he is acting?
“Second brother, I can only say that I have done nothing wrong to Weiwei. If you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do.”
Xi Jingyu pushed his cheeks back and forth with his tongue, and felt unusual pain!
As his voice fell, Minghan picked him up, punched him twice in the abdomen, and then threw him to the ground.
"Boy, don't think that my eldest sister will be tied to death for the rest of her life if she gives birth to a child for you. Let me tell you, if I raise these three of them, I can raise them well even without the help of my family!"
After saying this, Minghan left with a gloomy face.
Xi Jingyu stretched out Erkan's hand, but thought that he could not tell the truth, and finally dropped his hand with a wry smile.
The next day.
In the unit canteen, Xiao Wang, whose full name is Wang Yazhi from the post-production department, saw Xi Jingyu's miserable state. She didn't bother to line up for food, so she pretended to casually walk to the dining table where Xi Jingyu was sitting, her eyes filled with tears. Feeling worried, I asked casually: "Xi Gong, what are you doing..." How did you do this?
Hearing Wang Yazhi's voice, Xi Jingyu raised his head and glanced at her: "It fell." With two short words, he looked away and continued to eat.
“I have some ointment there, I’ll bring it to you later.”
Wang Yazhi didn’t wait for Xi Jingyu to refuse, then turned around and walked to the food window not far away to queue up.
Xi Jingyu didn't need to look to know what he was eating in the cafeteria, but everyone who knew him would be talking about it.
However, he didn’t take it seriously.
“Do you know what everyone is saying about you?”
Minghan held the dinner plate and sat on the dining chair beside Xi Chenyu: "Do you want me to explain it to you?"
“No need.”
It’s not like we’re just talking about him now. If you care, he won’t be stunned to death? !
Minghan: “You’d better keep your distance from that Xiao Wang!”
Hearing this, Xi Chenyu said nothing.
Minghan snorted coldly: "If you don't uphold your masculine virtues, just wait to be kicked!"
After saying this, Minghan ignored Xi Chenyu. He quickly finished his meal and stood up to put the plate away.
However, he did not leave directly. Instead, he asked a female colleague to call Wang Yazhi outside the restaurant door.
“Luo Gong, are you looking for me?”
"Um."
“I wonder what business Luo wants from me?”
Wang Yazhi looked at Minghan in confusion.
"I hope you understand that Xi Gong has a family, and his wife is my sister. If you don't want to lose your reputation, please respect yourself and don't get close to my brother-in-law again!"
Minghan explained her words without politeness. After hearing this, Wang Yazhi was startled at first, and then smiled naturally. She said: "I think Luo Gong, you have misunderstood. The relationship between me and Xi Gong is just like the relationship between me and you. It’s just a normal relationship between colleagues, and I’ve never done anything deliberately close to Xi Gong.”
“You know very well whether I misunderstood you.”
Minghan said in an indifferent tone: "Knowing three and doing three is not just a moral issue. In my opinion, you are a smart person, so take care of yourself!"
Withdrawing his gaze, Minghan walked away.
Wang Yazhi looked at his walking back, her eyes dim and unclear. Soon, this ambiguity was replaced by amusement.
Threaten her?
Ah!
One slap can’t make a sound!
Besides, if the cat wants to steal fish, this is the cat’s own business, what does it have to do with her?
Back to the dormitory after the meal, Wang Yazhi actually took the ointment and delivered it to Xi Jingyu's residence.
“This medicine is very effective. Remember to apply it on time. The swelling will subside in less than two days.”
"…good."
“Won’t you invite me in to sit down?”
Wang Yazhi was standing outside the door. When Xi Jingyu was silent, she joked: "I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you."
“I want to rest, it’s inconvenient.”
Xi Jingyu's face was expressionless. He glanced at the ointment on his hand, and then returned his gaze to Wang Yazhi: "Thank you! If nothing else, I'm going to rest." After saying that, without waiting for Wang Yazhi to respond, he casually After closing the door, the next moment, he opened the ointment in his hand and inspected it carefully. He found nothing unusual and put it into the trash can nearby.
Saturday afternoon, Minghan returned to the mansion after get off work. He did not go directly to the courtyard where he and his wife Lin Ran lived. He got off the car and went straight to Jiang Li's yard.
"mom!"
Jiang Li was reading with Xiao Mingxiu. When she heard the sound coming from the yard, she responded: "Study."
The study is very spacious and elegantly decorated by Jiang Li.
Pushing open the study door, Minghan looked at Jiang Li: "Mom, let's go to the living room to have a conversation."
With his little brother Doubao here, Minghan felt that what he wanted to say to his mother was not suitable for children.
"Tell me if you have something." Jiang Li didn't ask, she used a statement tone.
"Um."
Minghan nodded.
Jiang Li: "Okay, let's go to the living room." She touched Xiaodou Bao's head and said with a soft smile: "Just go and play after a while. Don't waste your eyes for a long time."
She often said this to her children at home, but few of them listened.
"Um."
Xiao Mingxiu nodded.
living room.
“…Mom, this is what happened, what do you think we should do now?”
As soon as the mother and son entered the living room, Minghan told Xi Jingyu about his suspected betrayal of Mingwei.
“Did you really take action against Xiao Jing?”
Jiang Li didn’t expect that her family’s always smart Hanbao would actually have the potential to be a fool.
How come she didn’t notice it before?
"You can't really hit him? Besides, that kid obviously deserves a beating!"
Minghan disagreed.
“You said that Xiao Jing was acting out of character, didn’t you think about other aspects, such as what you do, and the female colleague you mentioned named Wang, why did she suddenly approach Xiao Jing?
If she is interested in Xiao Jing, what did she do earlier? "
What Jiang Li said was undoubtedly to wake up Minghan, so that Minghan would not beat Xi Jingyu frequently, but it was Mingwei who felt distressed.
Even if Minghan's starting point is to vent his anger on Mingwei, if Xi Jingyu fails every now and then, Mingwei will blame Minghan.
…”
Minghan thought for a while, then frowned slightly: "Mom, do you know something?"
Jiang Li said with a smile: "What can I know? It happened in your unit, and I have never seen Xiao Jing and that Xiao Wang with my own eyes. I don't want to make random guesses. This is not only disrespectful to Xiao Jing, but also disrespectful to Xiao Jing. It’s disrespectful to the female colleague named Wang you mentioned.”
Hearing this, Minghan fell into deep thought again. He was thinking about what Jiang Li said and didn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Li didn't say anything to disturb her. She sat for a while, then got up and left the living room.
After a long time, Minghan suddenly sat up straight, with a solemn look on his face, thinking to himself: No way?
Is Wang Yazhi a spy?
Is approaching his good brother-in-law... a deliberate move?
If this is the case, why did Wang Yazhi choose that kid as the entry point?
Do you think the brat is easier to talk to than him?
Or is it easy to take the bait?
The newly developed secret weapon, he and his good brother-in-law are core members...
Minghan didn't know that Wang Yazhi and the people behind Wang Yazhi had considered dragging him into trouble, but after repeatedly comparing him with Xi Jingyu, they finally chose to corrupt Xi Jingyu.
This decision was made because Mingwei was about to give birth, and with the birth, Mingwei would have to undergo confinement. It would take some time for her body to recover. In this case, the intimacy between husband and wife would inevitably be affected. Under this circumstance, it is virtually easier for Wang Yazhi to intervene in the relationship between Xi Jingyu and his wife.
Of course, there must be other reasons, but only Wang Yazhi and the people behind her know this.
There were footsteps outside the living room door. Minghan gathered his thoughts. He raised his eyes and saw Jiang Li walking in with a fruit plate. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, I think I guessed something."
“Just guess it, you don’t need to tell me.”
With a smile on her face, Jiang Li said, "I just bought this. Eat some. It's very fresh."
There are washed strawberries on the fruit plate. They are big and juicy, and they look sweet and juicy.
Taking the fork from Jiang Li, he picked up a strawberry and took a bite.
"tasty."
“Then eat more.”
“Lin Ran likes strawberries, so I’ll leave more for her.”
“If you buy more, feel free to eat what you have.”
Jiang Li married two daughters-in-law on the same day. Jiang Li gave one of them a mobility scooter. However, the eldest daughter-in-law, Fang Ying, has been abroad all year round, so her car has naturally been idle in the garage.
Lin Ran sometimes drives to and from work by himself, and sometimes Minghan picks him up. However, Minghan has been too busy recently, not to mention picking up Lin Ran from get off work and only going home a few times. Therefore, Lin Ran is undoubtedly doing it by himself during these days. One drives to and from work.
Today, Minghan came home to tell Jiang Li something unexpected. He forgot to call Lin Ran in advance and did not go to the hospital to pick up his wife.
“Is it time for you to consider having a child?”
Jiang Li looked gentle: "Weiwei has already given birth, and Lin Ran is the same age as you. If you don't want it now, you won't be called an advanced maternal age in the future, just that your body will recover after giving birth..."
Although Jiang Li didn't say anything else, Minghan understood what she meant.
“My eldest brother and the others haven’t given birth yet. Mom, please don’t rush me. When Lin Ran and I want to have a baby, you don’t need to tell me..."
Before Minghan finished speaking, Jiang Li said, "They have your eldest brother, and your dad and I will be grandparents in six months."
“So sudden!”
Minghan was slightly stunned.
Jiang Li: "Your eldest brother called me back half a month ago. You have been living and dining in the workplace during this period, so I didn't tell you."
Minghan: "My eldest brother won't let you go abroad to take care of your sister-in-law, right?"
"No. Your eldest brother and the others have hired a servant at home, and your eldest sister-in-law will come back before the new year and is waiting for her childbirth in China."
After listening to Jiang Li's words, Minghan said "Oh" and then said: "I will discuss it with Lin Ran to see what she means."
Children will be born sooner or later, and he does not object to having multiple little ones sandwiched between him and Lin Ran.
“That’s good.”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded: "Tell Lin Ran, mom didn't induce the birth, she just gave you a reminder. However, if you don't plan to have a child, mom won't force you. In short, everything depends on your own wishes."
They live their lives as a young couple, and she will not be a bad mother-in-law.
In order to have a grandson, the young couple is forced to give birth to the next generation.
…
The night was quiet, Minghan was lying on the bed with Lin Ran in his arms, and he suddenly said: "Shall we have a child?"
Hearing this, Lin Ran was startled for a moment, then said "Okay".
Minghan: "They have a big brother and a big sister-in-law."
Lin Ran: “Did mom tell you?”
Minghan said "hmm".
“Did Mom induce labor on you?”
Lin Ran asked.
"That's not true. Mom is just worried that having a child too late will be bad for your health. She also said that if we don't want a child, she has no objection."
