Yun Xiaoruan anxiously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by someone at her wrist.
It was Qin Zheng.
Yun Xiaoruan turned her head and looked at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's face darkened, no emotions could be seen on his face, but the strength behind the big hand that was grasped around Yun Xiaoruan's wrist was extremely strong.
Yun Xiaoruan was suspicious, "Fourth Uncle, it's Jiang Chenghao …"
"I know!"
Qin Zheng said indifferently, "Are you eating or not?"
Yun Xiaoruan was a little helpless. She looked at Jiang Chenghao in the blink of an eye before turning her head to look at Qin Zheng and whispering: "Fourth Uncle, I want to go greet him... Last time, Jiang Chenghao was punished at home because of me … "
"If I go too late, there won't be a place for me."
Qin Zheng said indifferently, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.
Yun Xiaoruan was a little hesitant.
By his side, Jiang Chenghao had already walked over.
"Xiao Rou, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Yun Xiaoruan anxiously asked: "Jiang Chenghao, are you alright?"
Jiang Chenghao smiled as he shook his head, he looked somewhat haggard, and his entire person did not have the spirit and sunshine from before.
Yun Xiaoruan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"I've thought about what happened last time. Actually, I can't blame all of it on you. It's also my fault for being greedy …"
Yun Xiaoruan said as she lifted her head to look at him, "Now listen to your parents carefully, don't make them angry again."
Jiang Chenghao looked at Yun Xiaoruan's face greedily, feeling extremely bitter in her heart.
"Xiao Rou, how have you been recently?"
"She's fine!"
Qin Zheng took a step forward and pulled Yun Xiaoruan behind him.
Jiang Chenghao clenched his teeth, staring straight at Qin Zheng.
"Qin Zheng, do you think you can dominate Little Rou for a lifetime?"
Qin Zheng was not angry. In the face of Jiang Chenghao's wrath, Qin Zheng only had an indifferent expression.
"Yes."
Jiang Chenghao clenched his teeth, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
"Sooner or later, I will snatch Little Soft away."
Behind him, the sound of hurried footsteps came. It was Jiang Ye and Shangguan Li.
And there was also Jiang Chengjun.
"Qin Si, long time no see!"
Jiang Ye smiled as he looked at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng nodded indifferently, "Division Minister Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Ye held an important position in the government and was an official of the Jiang Family branch, so he was extremely famous in the Green Harbor City.
As for Jiang Chenghao's older brother, Jiang Chengjun, he held the position of a senior prosecutor in the higher courts of Green Harbor City, and his entire family was made of glittering gold.
"Qin Si, I have not personally come to apologize for the previous matter, I am truly sorry. My son has a very good character, if you are not considerate, please forgive me."
Qin Zheng nodded indifferently, and his gaze landed on Jiang Chenghao, as he said: "You're still young and aren't scary. If you start working hard for him now, you might still have some attainments in the future. It's just that you're still young, don't be greedy for love between a man and a woman.
Jiang Chenghao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked at Qin Zheng.
He knew what Qin Zheng meant.
Qin Zheng wanted him to leave Xiao Rou.
Jiang Ye laughed out loud, "Yes yes yes, I sent people to investigate the previous matter too, it was indeed … We should not have disturbed Qin Si's niece. "
Qin Zheng nodded his head indifferently, "Alright, then I won't mind what happened last time, just be careful in the future."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and pulled Yun Xiaoruan away.
Yun Xiaoruan was a little worried as she anxiously turned to look at Jiang Chenghao.
That glance, saw through Jiang Chenghao's heart.
Jiang Chenghao only felt that the rest of the things in the world had lost their luster.
Only Yun Xiaoruan's eyes remained.
Jiang Chenghao blankly stood in place as he watched Yun Xiaoruan slowly walked out of her line of sight.
He disappeared.
Jiang Chenghao's face turned green.
"Unfilial son!" What are you doing here today, don't you know? "
Jiang Ye waited until Qin Zheng left before turning around and jumping towards him.
Jiang Chenghao frowned and did not make a sound.
Shangguan Li hurried forward, saying, "Alright, alright, this is outside, don't be laughed at by others."
"Old Jiang, don't yell. Cheng Hao is still a child …"
"Children, children, children! He's already at the age of eighteen and is about to reach adulthood.
As Jiang Ye said this, he hatefully looked at Jiang Chenghao, seemingly extremely disappointed.
"It's not good if you provoke someone, but do you think that the people who provoke Qin Zheng are too satisfied with your father's life?"
"Xiao Rou is not Qin Zheng's person!"
Jiang Chenghao anxiously retorted.
"You still dare to talk back?"
Jiang Ye was so angry that he extended his hand out to hit her.
"Dad, calm down, this is outside!"
Jiang Chengjun reached out and pulled Jiang Ye, then turned around and looked at Jiang Chenghao, "Cheng Hao, what's with your attitude, is it purposely making your parents angry?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you at home?"
Jiang Chenghao clenched his fist.
After a long while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I was wrong …"
Only then did Jiang Ye's face look better.
"Let's go. Remember not to cause any trouble for me later!"
Jiang Ye said, then turned and left.
Jiang Chenghao followed him up.
On this side, Yun Xiaoruan followed Qin Zheng into the private room.
The room here was very elegant, and the decorations of the tatami were very stylish. After entering the room, one could see the pavilions in the small courtyard in front of them, as well as fake mountains and gurgling water.
All of a sudden, he felt like he was passing through time and space.
Yun Xiaoruan's mood was not as cheerful as it was before.
She thought about how Jiang Chenghao looked, and thought about when Jiang Chenghao had held his hand and not let his go.
"Still thinking about him?"
Qin Zheng's voice sounded.
Yun Xiaoruan was startled, and immediately raised her head to look.
Qin Zheng sat opposite to her, and in between the two of them was a small table.
On the table, incense had already been lit and tea brewed.
Yun Xiaoruan anxiously said: "Fourth Uncle, that day, Jiang Chenghao called me. He said …."
"Bam!"
A voice that was neither light nor heavy sounded.
It was Qin Zheng who had placed the teapot on the table.
Yun Xiaoruan was shocked, and quickly shut her mouth.
Qin Zheng looked at Yun Xiaoruan and frowned: "Xiao Rou, tell me the truth. Do you like him?"
"Jiang Chenghao?"
Yun Xiaoruan blinked her eyes as she looked at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng replied.
Yun Xiaoruan shook her head and nodded.
Qin Zheng frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yun Xiaoruan said: "Jiang Chenghao is a very good friend of mine, and what happened to him last time, was also because of me, that he was punished by father … "I don't have any other intentions, I just want to take care of this …"
"Care for a moment?"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Xiaoruan.
The look in his eyes turned serious.
Yun Xiaoruan was frightened, and shrunk her neck, not daring to make a sound.
Qin Zheng silently reached out his hand and poured Yun Xiaoruan a cup of tea.
Then, he passed the porcelain white cup to Yun Xiaoruan.
Yun Xiaoruan looked at the teacup in front of him and frowned, "I don't drink tea …"
"I have to drink it!"
Qin Zheng's voice was very serious, and could not be refused.
Yun Xiaoruan was helpless, she could only extend his hand to pick it up, and slowly take a sip.
"Ah! So bitter …"
Yun Xiaoruan said as she frowned and placed the teacup on the table.
Qin Zheng did not speak, he took the teapot and filled it to the brim.
"Drink again!"
Yun Xiaoruan stared blankly at him, then raised his head and looked at Qin Zheng with his big eyes.
However, Qin Zheng did not have any other expression, he only had a cold expression and looked at Yun Xiaoruan.
"Drink again!"
Yun Xiaoruan felt wronged and stretched her hand out to pick up the teacup.
Her tender and white hands were trembling, and her expression was full of grievance.
Putting the teacup close to her mouth, Yun Xiaoruan once again looked at Qin Zheng with an aggrieved expression.
"Fourth Uncle …"
"Drink again!"
Qin Zheng's tone did not echo in the slightest.
Yun Xiaoruan was helpless, she could only take a sip.
"So bitter …"
Yun Xiaoruan stuck out her tongue in distress.
Qin Zheng ignored her and filled her cup full.
Yun Xiaoruan almost wanted to cry.
"Fourth Uncle, I don't want to drink anymore, it's so bitter …"
Qin Zheng did not make a sound, and only looked at her.
That sinister look in her eyes scared Yun Xiaoruan.
Qin Zheng had always been like this.
No one dared to offend him when he became angry and serious.
He didn't dare to do it himself.
But when Yun Xiaoruan thought about it, when Qin Zheng became gentle, it was also very gentle.
Why was there such a person in the world who could easily control such contradictory personalities so perfectly?
Yun Xiaoruan raised her head and drank another cup.
Qin Zheng did not make a sound, and poured her another cup.
Who knew how much he drank, Yun Xiaoruan's mouth was already so bitter that it could no longer taste anything.
He was numb.
She sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, her small white hands clutching at the cushion beneath her, resisting the bitterness in her mouth.
So uncomfortable.
Why did Qin Zheng force him to drink this?
Was it because he wanted to punish himself?
After that, would he be like a little doll in front of him?
He could not do anything that he did not like. He had to do it at will.
Qin Zheng said that he liked taking care of himself, so he wanted to keep a figurine by his side?
The more Yun Xiaoruan thought about it, the more bitter she felt.
Qin Zheng did not pour her more tea, because all the tea in the pot had already been poured.
Qin Zheng put down the teapot and looked at her.
Yun Xiaoruan lowered her head and thought, which made him feel even more wronged.
Tears rolled down his face.
She hurriedly reached out her hand to wipe it away, but the more she wiped, the more she could not wipe it clean no matter how hard she tried.
Qin Zheng looked at her and slowly said.
"How do you feel now?"
Yun Xiaoruan did not make a sound, and only lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
Seeing her sad crying, Qin Zheng couldn't help but silently sigh in his heart.
In the end, she was still a little girl.
Qin Zheng recalled that Tingting cried like this every time she was lectured by an adult in his elder sister's house.
Are all children like this?
Qin Zheng sighed, and said: "Xiao Rou, do you feel that your mouth is bitter, or your heart is?"
Yun Xiaoruan did not make a sound.
However, she still kept her head down, not looking at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng reached out his hand, refilled the cup of tea, and drank a mouthful himself.
He then placed the teacup on the table.
"Xiao Rou, your concern for Jiang Chenghao right in front of me, caused my mood to be ten thousand times more bitter than the pain in your heart right now."
"The bitterness in my heart and my mental suffering are superimposed …"
"Do you know how it feels?"
Yun Xiaoruan was startled, and raised her head to look at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's expression was extremely complicated as he looked deeply at her.
