City y, Ji Family—

"Mom, have dad been worried recently?" Ji Chengcheng peeled the sweet and sour little orange in his hand, looked at Ji Qiuhang, who was walking out of the door with no expression on his face in a military uniform, and asked softly.

He Manni also looked at the closed door, thinking a lot between her eyebrows.

"Mom? Why don't you talk? Have you and dad been quarreling? Or..." Ji Chengcheng ate oranges, got up and sat next to He Manni, and wrapped her arms with a smile: "I haven't heard you two quarrel in the past two days. What's wrong?"

"I asked you to check the crystal necklace a while ago. Is there any news?" He Manni also looked at her daughter who had been so cute from childhood to adulthood. She patted her hands and asked softly.

Ji Chengcheng paused: "Not yet, what's going on with that necklace? I remember when Ji Xinyao's mother committed suicide, wasn't that necklace broken? Every time I went out for a walk in the past few years, you asked me to take the opportunity to find it. I went to Ji Xinyao's place to live, but I couldn't find it at all!"

He Manni sighed without saying a word.

"That necklace is so important? What the hell is going on?"

"It's your dad's fault that he was too stupid back then! He gave that important thing to the dead woman as a token of love, which made the whole family feel anxious for more than 20 years. He was worried all day long and afraid something happened!" He Manni frowned fiercely, glanced at Aunt Liu who was standing aside with a displeasure: "Miss has always liked to eat oranges these days, and she is afraid that it will get angry. Go and make some soup for her to remove the heat."

Aunt Liu nodded and turned around and left.

Ji Chengcheng saw that Aunt Liu was deliberately sent away, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Will that necklace...is there something secret hidden?"

"It's all the old things from more than 20 years ago. Everything was handled cleanly, but your father gave it to that dead woman. If the necklace was found by someone who was interested, our whole family would suffer." He Manni sighed, raised and rubbed her painful forehead: "I don't know if Ji Xinyao has that necklace in her hand. I've found someone to check it. The residue of the necklace downstairs of the woman after she committed suicide was not the one given to her by your father. It seems that this woman left a way out for herself until her death! It's impossible for our whole family to live a peaceful life!"

Ji Chengcheng frowned and said, "So serious? When Ji Xinyao lived in our house, did you look over her things and couldn't find them?"

He Manni shook her head, her eyes full of suspicion: "This little girl movie looks so honest when she was a child, but she is actually very meticulous in her bones and hides everything carefully."

"Where is Ji Xiuli? Is it possible to be with him?"

He Manni still shook her head slowly: "I have seen all their things myself, but none of them. I suspect the necklace is not in their hands at all."

“Isn’t it better not to be in their hands?”

"I'm afraid that it's someone who is hiding in the dark. More than 20 years ago... the person who knew about that..." He Manni narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming more and more uneasy.

It seems that it is necessary to use extraordinary means to make the person who should disappear...

******************************************************************************

After get off work in the evening, Ji Xinyao and Su Xiaonuan walked out of the company while joking. Su Xiaonuan suddenly stopped and pulled her sleeve: "Sister Ji! Look..."

Looking into the direction she pointed, Ling Feier, who had just been engaged, stood by the roadside, paced back and forth. When she saw her coming out from get off work, she suddenly rushed over quickly.

"Ji Xinyao, you are shameless!" Ling Fei'er rushed up and slapped her.

Seeing this, Su Xiaonuan hurriedly wanted to pull Ji Xinyao away. Ji Xinyao frowned and looked at Ling Feier who was angry in front of her, and raised her hand to block her hand: "Miss Ling, please be more respectful when you speak. I'll go to my class well. After my class, where did you offend you?"

Why does Ling Fei'er always appear in such a sudden way? Has this girl trained in a certain commando since she was a child?

"You are pretending to be innocent with me!" Ling Feier shook her hand hard and pointed at her face with gritted teeth: "Are you so jealous that you see others happy? An Yueze doesn't want you anymore, why are you still pestering him? A woman like you is really a slut..."

"Ling Fei'er! You have to tell the evidence even if you frame and accusation!" Ji Xinyao felt more and more harsh as she heard it, and suddenly interrupted her sternly.

"You are still quibbling? Do you have the face to quibble?" Ling Fei'er didn't pretend to be wronged and innocent, but she was full of anger. She suddenly flipped out a photo album from her bag and threw the album heavily to the ground. A gust of wind blew, blowing the album's title page, and several photos from college were reflected. They were some photos of her and An Yueze before.

Her face paused slightly, staring at the photos on the ground, looking at the woman who was going crazy in front of her for no reason: "Is this the evidence?"

"He has long since wanted you, but what is this? Why is there this thing in his suitcase after he came back from a business trip? Are you going out to steal love with me? Do you want to snatch An Yueze away? You shameless and mean woman, you are already married, why do you still lure the man outside? I tell you Ji Xinyao, you..."

"Fei'er!" Suddenly, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped on the side of the road. An Yueze walked out of the car. When he saw the situation here, he ran quickly and grabbed her arm: "What are you doing? Go back with me!"

"Get out!" Ling Feier shook his hand hard: "Get out! Don't think I don't know that you are actually going to have a love affair in the name of a business trip! Did she give this photo to you? This slutty woman wants to use this method to evoke memories of your past, right? She is really scheming!"

"I've told you a long time ago that it has nothing to do with her! Let's go back and say it!" An Yueze frowned and hugged her shoulders, but he didn't dare to look at Ji Xinyao who was a little suspicious in his eyes: "Be good, be obedient, go back with me..."

Ling Fei'er pushed him away as if she hadn't stopped until she got things clear. She turned around and suddenly wanted to grab Ji Xinyao's hair: "You, a man who is a shameless mistress who seduces me, is..."

Ji Xinyao was a little confused about the situation, but when she heard Ling Feier's words, she was suddenly happy.

Hook her and lead her to a man? Mission?

Who did this? Ling Fei'er could even shout out so righteously.

Ji Xinyao didn't know if she was angry or was really amused. Her smile made Ling Fei'er even more annoyed. While An Yueze hugged her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Ji Xinyao's face. Her long nails caught two red marks on her face.

"Sister Ji!" Su Xiaonuan screamed in surprise, and hurriedly raised her hand to touch the red marks on her face.

Just as the argument was concerned, there were already many people watching around, and no one noticed another car parked on the side of the road.

"Ling Feier, you're enough!" An Yueze suddenly shouted softly and pressed her firmly: "It has nothing to do with Ji Xinyao!"

"It doesn't matter if you dare to say it! You came back from a business trip with this broken album. You carefully placed it in the bookcase in the study room and thought I couldn't see it! Now you are still talking to her!" Ling Fei'er red eyes and pointed at Ji Xinyao: "Explain it to me, how did you plan to go out for a business trip and go out to steal love? Explain it to me!"

"Fei'er, you..." An Yueze hugged her hard, so as not to be impulsive. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a black figure hit her in her sight, her face changed instantly, and she even held her firmly.

Ji Xinyao also found Gu Nanxi walking slowly behind the crowd, and her face changed slightly.

Will he misunderstand something when he heard Ling Feier say this?

"Mayor Gu..." Su Xiaonuan called him carefully.

However, Gu Nanxi looked at the album that was blown by the wind under their feet.

Ji Xinyao lowered her head and saw that the album was a cream cake that she rubbed on her face when she was on her birthday in college. She was held in her arms by An Yueze, who was also covered in cream. The two of them happily raised their heads and laughed, and the photos were taken by their classmates.

An Yueze was stunned and held down Ling Feier, who had to suppress her anger because she saw Gu Nanxi, but she was still struggling in his arms reluctantly, staring at Ji Xinyao.

Ji Xinyao looked straight at Gu Nanxi who was walking towards him step by step. She wanted to explain something, but found that there were too many people standing around and didn't know how to say it for a while.

Since Ling Feier saw Gu Nanxi, she didn't dare to say another word. Unexpectedly, Mayor Gu would suddenly appear here. She always thought that he helped Ji Xinyao on the day of the engagement banquet. It was Ji Xinyao who begged him and asked him to help her find some face. But she didn't expect to see him here.

Recently, the Procuratorate and the Public Security Bureau have not been very peaceful. No matter how she does, she dare not say anything to anger Mayor Gu, so she had to bite her lips hatefully and stare at Ji Xinyao with resentment.

Seeing Gu Nanxi coming, Ji Xinyao held her breath. She could have been indifferent to all this, but when Gu Nanxi appeared, her heart was in a mess.

Will he think that she really has an old relationship with An Yueze? Will he feel embarrassed because these old photos are seen in public? Will he find that she always has difficult situations of big and small, making him feel bored...

When Gu Nanxi walked up to her and was so close that she could smell the familiar smell on his body, Ji Xinyao opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but everything had nothing to do with her. She didn't know where to explain, and her lips moved and she pursed again.

"Ji Xinyao, where is your thorn?" Gu Nanxi lowered her head slightly and said in a gentle voice.

"Mayor Gu, it was Fei'er and I who had some small quarrels at home. She was so angry that she found these old photos and found faults. The matter had nothing to do with Ji... Miss." An Yueze explained loudly.

"I know!" Gu Nanxi didn't even look at him.

He knows?

Ji Xinyao was stunned for a moment, but instantly felt a warmth in her hands.

Gu Nanxi held her hand and glanced at Ling Feier, who was full of surprise on the other side: "Ms. Ling, it's okay to quarrel with her fiancé, but it's taboo to involve others. Today's incident is enough to sue you for slandering."

Ling Feier bit her lip and suddenly said, "Mayor Gu, why do you say I am accusing her? He went on a business trip the next day after An Yueze and I got engaged. He came back yesterday. Maybe he went out with Ji Xinyao to do something shameful..."

An Yueze pressed heavily on her shoulder: "Fei'er! What are you talking nonsense!"

"When did I talk nonsense? Otherwise, why did you come back from a business trip and have such a broken photo album in your luggage?" Ling Feier didn't dare to speak too loudly to Gu Nanxi, but turned to An Yueze but shouted loudly.13acv.

After hearing this, Gu Nanxi's eyes were filled with a lukewarm smile: "Sin Yao has been with me these two days, and I should know her movements better than you."

Ling Feier was stunned: "What? You...you...really live together?"

Gu Nanxi immediately sighed softly, obviously she was asking a question that was too mentally retarded.

The whispers around the people suddenly sounded: "Is this woman sick? She said that her wife had cheated on her, but she also asked her married couple if they live together?"

"I think this woman's head is in the middle of her head. After a long time, she is actually a troublemaker!"

"They are husband and wife, so of course they live together. I said, "Little girl, are you brain problems?"

Many of the people watching this were from their company and people nearby. Most of them knew Ji Xinyao, and most of them knew the relationship between her and Mayor Gu. They were watching the fun just now, but now they saw Mayor Gu making decisions for her here, so they would naturally find opportunities to talk to her in front of the mayor, but they didn't expect that the other people who were simply watching began to point fingers at Ling Fei'er.

Ling Fei'er was spoiled to the sky since she was a child, but she had never received such treatment. She suddenly became angry and was about to scold her, but when her eyes were dyed with a few rays of frosty gaze, she bit her lips again. She turned her head and buried her face in An Yueze's arms, and stomped her feet in anger.

An Yueze had no choice but to hold Ling Fei'er and look at Ji Xinyao, but Ji Xinyao didn't look at them at all. She just stood quietly beside Gu Nanxi and held hands with him, because Gu Nanxi would shelter her from the wind and rain, so she didn't even have to reveal the thorns on her body.

Such dependence and cooperation made him almost speechless. After a long time, he said: "I'm sorry, Fei'er is young and she came out to make trouble because she quarreled with me. She has no bad intentions and hopes that Mayor Gu will not..."

"In view of Director Ling's efforts to City G for many years and the face of Deputy Inspection Officer An, you can ignore this matter." Gu Nanxi seemed to be laughing, but his smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, he felt a chill in his mind: "There is only one opportunity, and you two An Ling families should cherish it."

His light words contained several deep meanings. Only Ji Xinyao and An Yueze could understand the audience, but whether Ling Feier understood it or not was no longer important.

An Yueze's eyes sank, and his hands clasped on Ling Fei'er's shoulder tightened.

Ji's mother's heart is in love. Ji Xinyao has never said a word since Gu Nanxi came. She just listened to his voice, looked at his side face, and felt the warm and firm force in her hand holding her.

It seemed that for a moment she felt that no matter how many ups and downs there were in this world, this man would block her with such a calm and calm attitude, without doubt or wavering, and not even a question was necessary. He could believe her, know her, understand her, give her courage, give her strength, give her peace and tranquility, and the most timeless warmth in this troubled world.

She suddenly moved the little hand he held gently in his palm, subconsciously stretched out a few fingers, and tightly held his hand back.

Gu Nanxi turned to look at her, her eyes filled with calm warmth: "The lunch you sent me at noon tasted good. Is it the newly opened restaurant you mentioned?"

She nodded, and Su Xiaonuan next to her suddenly stretched her head and said with a smile: "It's the newly opened donkey meat roast, it's so delicious. Sister Ji specially packed it for you at noon today, but the one she gave it seemed to be vegetarian~"

Gu Nanxi smiled and looked at Su Xiaonuan, then said to Ji Xinyao: "I promised you in the morning and I will accompany you to taste it if I have time. Let's go."

"Uh..." Su Xiaonuan looked at them with envy and swallowed. The donkey meat roast was really delicious, and she wanted to eat it after lunch...

Gu Nanxi suddenly stopped and looked back at Su Xiaonuan: "You are together too."

"Ah?" Su Xiaonuan shook her eyes and pointed at her face: "Me?"

She hurriedly walked forward and looked at Ji Xinyao, who was also smiling, and then asked in disbelief: "Mayor Gu, are you going to treat me to a meal?"

"Yes, treat you to dinner." Gu Nanxi smiled faintly.
