Chapter 176 You have to use your strength in the right direction
At the same time, in the manor.
After dinner, Shen Qingran and Jiang Zhaolin sat on the sofa and had a heart-to-heart talk.
Qi Nian sat on the other side with an absent-minded look on his face.
He would look at his phone from time to time, fearing that he would miss the message Lin Ting sent him.
But he unlocked the screen several times, and Lin Ting's WeChat profile picture was still dark.
Every time his phone vibrated, he unlocked it with excitement. When he saw news that was not from Lin Ting, he would be disappointed again.
Shen Qingran saw all these changes in his emotions.
"Qingran, are you 22 too?"
"Well, I just turned 22 not long ago."
Jiang Zhaolin touched the girl's hair with a pleased look on his face and sighed: "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you have become a grown up girl. Have you had any boyfriends abroad in these years?"
Shen Qingran looked at Qinian, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Auntie, I'm studying abroad. How can I have a boyfriend?"
"You're old enough to have a boyfriend."
"Brother Anian hasn't had a girlfriend yet. He's not in a hurry, and I'm even less anxious."
Shen Qingran pulled out Qi Nian as a shield, and the other meaning was also clear.
The person she was waiting for was Qi Nian.
How could Jiang Zhaolin not know the meaning of her words?
"Brother Anian, you don't need me to worry about you. I have to help you find a good man. It just so happens that I have a few boys here who are close friends with the Qi family. They are handsome and have good character. , take a look.”
She said that before Shen Qingran agreed, she took out the photos and information she had prepared in advance.
"Look at the young master of the Zhao family, who is close to you in age and must have many topics in common with you. And the eldest son of the Li family, although he is seven years older than you, is mature, steady, humble and polite. A good marriage partner."
She introduced Shen Qingran one photo at a time.
Her eyes remained on Qinian, but he never glanced at her from beginning to end.
Doesn't he care at all whether she dates other men?
Jiang Zhaolin poked her arm.
"Does anyone have a close eye?"
Shen Qingran then retracted her gaze, hiding the disappointment in her eyes, and tried her best to squeeze out a smile.
"Auntie, I don't want to have a boyfriend yet."
She pushed the photo back and declined Jiang Zhaolin's kindness.
"Even if you don't have a boyfriend, it's good to have friends! I think the eldest son of the Zhang family is quite good. How about your aunt arrange a meeting for you tomorrow?"
"Auntie, I'm really not in a hurry."
She looked at Qinian.
She said shyly: "I'm waiting for Brother Anian to get a girlfriend. I'll look for a boyfriend again."
The meaning of the words is already very straightforward.
Jiang Zhaolin blurted out subconsciously.
"Then you don't have to wait, you can find it now."
Shen Qingran looked surprised.
He looked at Jiang Zhaolin with confusion on his face.
"Aunt, what did you just say?"
Only then did Jiang Zhaolin realize that she had just spoken out her heart.
This is bad.
How should she come back? A trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
The CPU is almost burning and smoking.
"I mean, you don't need to compete with your brother Anian. He is an old man after all."
"Auntie, are you kidding? Brother Anian is old."
Shen Qingran strongly disagreed with Jiang Zhaolin's words.
"I'm already 30 years old, and I haven't gotten to hold my grandchildren yet. Even if I'm not old, I'm still useless!"
Qi Nian was suddenly cueed, looking innocent.
It didn't matter that Lin Ting disliked him for being an old man, but now even his own mother began to dislike him for being old, and called him a useless old thing!
Qi Nian looked dissatisfied.
He was already angry because Lin Ting didn't send him a message.
Being pestered by Shen Qingran again and unable to go back to be with his wife made him irritated.
This time she was completely on the receiving end of a gun.
"Mom, what's the point of just urging me about having grandchildren? I'm not a woman, and I don't have a uterus. How can I give birth to you? Even if I want to give birth, I don't have the final say about the belly. You can You have to get on the right track!"
"I want to do something right, but I'm afraid that this person will think I'm a light bulb and get in the way!"
Jiang Zhaolin pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
The two of them were talking to each other, and Shen Qingran on the side was confused.
I have no idea what they mean.
"There are many ways to use force, and it's not just like being a light bulb. I'm afraid someone's intention to embrace grandchildren is not sincere from the beginning. They are just excuses. What's the use of urging?"
Qi Nian blamed Jiang Zhaolin for his inaction.
"I am not sincere. If I were not sincere, you would still be an old bachelor that no one wants."
Shen Qingran instantly grasped the key points in Jiang Zhaolin's words.
"Auntie, you mean Brother Anian has a girlfriend?"
The two people who were arguing just now shut up instantly.
The whole living room fell silent.
The atmosphere became tense.
Four eyes facing each other.
"Uh...this..."
Jiang Zhaolin's CPU was almost burned out.
With crazy eyes, she asked Qinian for help, asking him to say something to save the situation.
He shrugged with an indifferent expression.
The general idea is that he doesn't care who has to fix the problem.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend."
What he has is not a girlfriend, but a wife.
This probably doesn't count as lying to her.
Jiang Zhaolin comforted himself and played a word game with Shen Qingran.
"Then you just said..."
"I mean, I introduced him to a bunch of famous ladies and he didn't like any of them."
In the end, he chose Lin Ting, who was of ordinary status, and got married directly.
Jiang Zhaolin didn't say the second half of the sentence, and Shen Qingran also dropped her hanging heart back into her stomach.
"It's getting late, let's go upstairs to bed."
Jiang Zhaolin pretended to be sleepy and yawned a few times, turned around and walked upstairs, quickly escaping from this dangerous place.
Now he and Shen Qingran were the only two people left in the living room.
The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
"Brother Anian, the reason why I didn't have a boyfriend abroad is not that I don't want to fall in love, but that I have someone I like. In fact, I have always been the person I like."
Shen Qingran buttoned up his clothes with a nervous look on his face.
How could Qi Nian fail to see what the girl wanted to say and hurriedly changed the subject.
"It suddenly occurred to me that I have work to do!"
Shen Qingran looked at Qi Nian's quickly escaping figure, the light in his eyes dimming a little.
Qinian was sitting in the study, but his mind had already flown back to Shangheyuan.
He sent a message to Lin Ting: Are you asleep?
The phone refreshed several times, but Lin Ting still had no reply, and he couldn't help but feel irritated.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Brother Anian, it's me, can I come in?"
"Ah."
Shen Qingran opened the door and walked in, holding a cup of Pu'er tea in his hand.
"Brother Anian, I made you a cup of Pu'er tea to refresh you."
"Put it on the table, and let the servants do this from now on."
Shen Qingran put the tea on the table.
The person had no intention of leaving.
She held the tray tightly with her hands, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"Brother Anian."
Qi Nian then raised his eyes to look at her: "Is there anything else?"
"I have something to tell you."
"You said."
Qi Nian didn't pay much attention, focusing entirely on his mobile phone.
It happened that Lin Ting replied to his message at this moment.
He immediately opened the screen of his mobile phone and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
Lin Ting: Not yet. I just came back from the store. Haven't you finished your work yet?
Qi Nian: One more thing, it should be done in a while. If I go back too late, you should go to bed first and don't fall asleep on the sofa again.
Shen Qingran said to herself: "Brother Anian, actually the person I have always liked is you."
She confessed her love with joy and gathered up her courage.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other side.
Only then did she tentatively raise her head.
Qi Nian's mind was all on his phone and he didn't listen to her words at all.
"Brother Anian!"
She suddenly raised her voice with a hint of anger.
"What's wrong, what did you just say?"
Qi Nian then raised his head and looked at her, with a confused look on his face.
"Forget it, nothing."
Shen Qingran sighed, stamped her feet vigorously, and turned around to leave angrily. She tripped on the carpet and fell straight to the ground, about to hit the corner of the table.
"Be careful!" Qi Nian quickly grabbed her with a sharp hand.
Due to inertia, she lost her balance and fell directly into Qi Nian's arms.
The sudden contact made the girl's heart beat suddenly and her face instantly turned red.
Seeing that she would not fall again, Qi Nian almost instinctively pushed her away and kept a certain distance from her.
Always remember that you are a married man.
"Thank you, Brother Anian."
The girl nodded shyly and lowered her eyebrows to thank him.
"It's getting late, go to bed early!"
Qi Nian fled quickly, walked out of the study first, went straight downstairs, and drove back to Shang Heyuan.
"Brother Anian!"
Shen Qingran chased him out and saw Qi Nian driving out again in the middle of the night. In addition to the words in Jiang Zhaolin's conversation with Qi Nian that night that puzzled her, she decided to follow up and find out.
