The Meng Clan had an unwritten rule.

Every Friday night was a family reunion day for the Meng family, and no one was allowed to miss it.

Ji Xinqing came to the kitchen to help the butler.

She called Meng to remind him that it was family reunion day.

Meng Qin Guan was obviously still angry with her. He coldly left a "I got it" and hung up the phone.

Ji Xinqing did not even have a chance to apologize.

Noon. Seeing the empty seat beside her, Ji Xinqing lost all of her appetite.

It wasn't until two in the afternoon that Meng Qin Guan returned, exhausted.

The afternoon sun was good.

Ji Xinqing was accompanying Meng Shan in the courtyard.

As he got out of the car, Meng Qin saw Ji Xinqing and his face turned dark.

However, he still walked in front of Meng Yangshan with a sullen face. He rubbed her head and said in a pampering tone, "Little Dong Shan, you have to be good."

Meng Yangshan only raised her head to look at him for a moment before lowering it again.

"Qin Guan, I —" Ji Xinqing whispered.

Meng Qin Guan lifted his foot and left.

Ji Xinqing quickly entrusted her Meng QIngshan to the housekeeper and followed behind him.

The two of them entered the bedroom one after the other.

Ji Xinqing closed the door and walked in front of Meng Qin Guan. She pulled his sleeves, "Qin Guan, are you still angry with me?"

Meng Qin Guan shook her off. With a cold voice, he said, "I've been busy since last night. I'm very tired. I'll go take a bath first."

Without waiting for Ji Xinqing to say anything else, he took off his jacket and entered the bathroom.

The bathroom door closed and the sound of running water could be heard.

Ji Xinqing was standing helplessly outside the door, but her eyes were somewhat sore.

Only after a long time did she pick up Meng Qin's coat and prepare to wash it.

However, the moment the coat was in her hands, Ji Xinqing could smell a faint fragrance of perfume.

She knew Meng Qin very well. He never liked fragrant water.

Then this perfume is...

Ji Xinqing lowered her head to smell it again.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air, something Ji Xinqing recognized.

She had recently visited a perfume shop, which the clerk had highly recommended.

It was one that many women liked right now.

Ji Xinqing's face began to turn pale. She clutched at her clothes and glanced at the man bathing in the bathroom.

However, in the end, she still pursed her lips, didn't ask anything, and just took the clothes and left the bedroom.

When Ji Xinqing returned to her room, she saw that Meng Qin Guan had fallen asleep on the bed.

His face was haggard, looking like he was really exhausted last night.

Ji Xinqing tried her best to convince herself that he was at work the night before. However, the fragrance of the perfume on his coat lingered at the tip of her nose. She could not get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.

It wasn't until the time he ordered the dishes that Meng Qin woke up from his daze.

Ji Xinqing happened to return to her room, "Qin Guan, you're awake. Hurry and get down. Dad is back."

Meng Qin Guan gave a cold "En" and followed her downstairs.

Meng Qingrong was already sitting down.

"Dad."

"Dad."

Meng Qin Yan and Ji Xin Qing shouted at the same time.

Meng Qinggrong said calmly, "Take a seat. Your mother and sister are still upstairs. Wait a while longer."

In the past, Ji Xinqing usually sat in the middle between Meng Qinghui and Meng Yangshan.

But this time, Meng Qin Guan seemed to avoid contact with Ji Xin Qing, so he made Meng Dong Shan sit in the middle.

Ji Xinqing did not want to magnify the conflict and silently sat down.

After a while, Wang Jianfeng and Meng Qingyu came downstairs.

Meng Qingyu sat beside Ji Xinqing and smiled, "Eldest Sister-in-law, did you take my suggestion from last night to heart?"

Ji Xinqing's expression turned ugly. Meng Qingyu was referring to the matter of having her give birth to a child.

Meng Qingyu then said, "Sister-in-law, I am doing this for your own good. After all," She glanced at Meng Qinggrong, "The old Meng family has been waiting for you and your brother to pass on your bloodline all this time. You can't let them die in your generation, can you?"

Meng Qin's impotence was kept from everyone in the Meng Family.

Ji Xinqing suddenly did not know how to respond to Meng Qin Yu's words.

After a moment of silence, she changed the subject, "Butler, have the dishes been served yet?"

The butler answered from the side, "There's also a bowl of soup. It's boiling in the pot right now."

Seeing that Ji Xinqing had cleared the matter of the child so easily, Meng Qingyu felt a little angry. She said coquettishly to Wang Jianfen, "Mom, look at how Eldest Sister-in-Law treats me!" What I said was clearly the truth, but she actually ignored me. "

Ji Xinqing suddenly felt that it was funny.

Then what should she say?

Could it be that all of this wasn't her fault at all, but that Meng Qin Guan had never touched her?

She believed that if this news got out, the Meng family's career would definitely suffer a blow.

Seeing that Ji Xinqing was silent, Wang Jianfeng also became angry.

After comforting Meng Qin Yu a bit, he said in a strange tone, "Qin Yu, these people have been married to the old Meng family for almost six years. They have already eaten and used me. It wasn't easy for them to give birth to a baby, but they are actually mute!"

Meng Qin Yu nodded and chuckled, "Eldest sister-in-law, it can't be that little Dong Shan has yet to call you 'mom', right?"

This incident was the pain that had been plaguing Ji Xinqing's heart for the past three years.

Listening to the mocking words beside her ear, she turned her head to look at Meng QIngwen, hoping that he would say a few words of defense for her.

However, Meng Qin Guan kept his head lowered as he played with his mobile phone. Even though he felt her gaze on him, he didn't say a word.

Ji Xinqing looked at his cold reaction. After being married for six years, this was the first time she felt a chill in her heart.

Fortunately, Ji Xinqing's father-in-law, Meng Qinggrong, was on her side.

"Alright, this isn't Xinqing's fault alone." Meng Qingrong opened his mouth in displeasure.

Meng Qinggrong was the head of the family. Once he spoke, Wang Jianfen would not dare to act impudently.

Meng Qinggrong looked at Meng Qin Guan, who was playing on his phone, and said with a more serious tone, "Qin Guan, you are also in the wrong in this matter. It is not a person's business to have children."

Meng Qin was extremely afraid of Meng Qinggrong. He quickly put away his phone and smiled, "Got it, Dad. I will work hard with Xinqing."

Separated by Meng Yangqing's fading eyes, he smiled gently at Ji Xinqing, "Right, Xinqing, will we work hard?"

The smile in his eyes was warning.

He was warning her not to talk about impotence.

Ji Xinqing remained silent for a long time before she smiled at Meng Qinggrong, "That's right dad, you have to believe in us."

Hearing her guarantee, Meng Qinggrong smiled in relief. But then, he looked at Meng QIngshan with a pained expression. "Xinqing, then that child —"

Ji Xinqing patted Meng Xin's head and said confidently, "Dad, don't worry. Qin Guan and I will not give up on her."

"Hai." Meng Qinggrong sighed, "Xinqing, you should have a good plan for this second baby."

Ji Xinqing's expression turned unnatural for a moment.

No matter how much Meng Qinggrong tried to protect himself, he was still a member of the Meng Clan. In his eyes, all he cared about was the descendants of the Meng Clan.

She looked down. "Got it, Dad."
