In evening, the two of them didn’t go back to the compound, they went back to Jiangxin Yayuan directly, but just as they arrived at the gate of Jiangxin Yayuan, they saw Yan Xi waiting at the gate of the community.

Shen Qinglan looked at that person’s image of Yan Xi from a distance, and when she looked closely, it was really true, and asked Fu Hengyi to stop, “Yan Xi.”

Yan Xi crossed her arms and walked around in place. In the early spring night, the weather was actually still very cold, when she heard someone call her, she looked, and saw Shen Qinglan, then her eyes lit up, “big sister.”

She stopped in front of Shen Qinglan, just two steps away, then looked at Shen Qinglan quietly not talking.

“Why didn’t you call me when you came to see me?” Shen Qinglan asked.

“I called, but your mobile phone was turned off.” Yan Xi explained, her voice hoarse.

Shen Qinglan took out her mobile phone, only to realize that her phone had run out of power and been turned off at some point. No wonder she couldn’t get through.

“Go ahead.” Shen Qinglan opened the door of the back seat and let Yan Xi in. Yan Xi glanced at Fu Hengyi in the driver’s seat before sitting in.

“Hello, brother-in-law.” Yan Xi greeted Fu Hengyi softly. This was the husband of her eldest sister, so he should be called brother-in-law.

Fu Hengyi’s slightly displeased face when he saw Yan Xi disappeared with this “brother-in-law”, and he hummed lightly.

Shen Qinglan looked funny. Fu Hengyi was definitely not a difficult person to get along with. You could tell from his attitude towards Xiaoxuan and Fang Tong. Today’s abnormality was probably because of Yan Shengyu, Yan Xi was just the one who angered this vinegar jar.

“Have you eaten yet?” At home, Shen Qinglan asked Yan Xi, Yan Xi shook her head, Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi, and Fu Hengyi walked into the kitchen. In fact, he and Shen Qinglan didn’t have dinner at night, and now it was just cooking for one more person. For the sake of the “brother-in-law”, he wouldn’t care about this kid who had wanted to abduct his wife to be her sister-in-law.

In the living room, Yan Xi was sitting on the sofa, and Shen Qinglan looked at her, “You didn’t come to see me, why don’t you talk now?”

Yan Xi looked at the kitchen.

“He can’t hear you.” Shen Qinglan said.

Yan Xi was a little embarrassed, “Big sister, can I stay with you for a while?” She asked a little cautiously.

Shen Qinglan paused, “What happened?” In fact, from the moment she saw Yan Xi, she knew that something must have happened. Yan Xi was a person who couldn’t hide her emotions, and every bit of it was written on her face.

Yan Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. “Big sister, I just want to stay here for a few days. It doesn’t matter if it’s inconvenient for you. I’ll stay in a hotel.”

“Why don’t you want to go home?” Yan Xi was silent.

Shen Qinglan stopped asking, “Eat first, and I’ll take you to my other home after dinner. My friend lives there. She’s a girl. Can you live with her for a while?”

Yan Xi’s eyes lit up, and nodded quickly, “I can.”

“Qinglan, it’s time to eat.”

Fu Hengyi brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen. They were noodles with fried sauce. It was a little late and there were not many ingredients at home. Sauce noodles were naturally the most convenient.

He put down the noodles and went into the kitchen again. When he came out, he brought another bowl, which was more than the two bowls. It was his own. He handed the chopsticks to Yan Xi, who took it and said in a low voice, “Thank you. “

Yan Xi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then her eyes lit up, and she speeded up the speed of eating noodles. She didn’t have any hope for Fu Hengyi’s craftsmanship. After all, the two men in her family couldn’t cook. She originally thought that the same would be true for Fu Hengyi, but she did not expect his craftsmanship to be so good.

While eating noodles, Yan Xi looked at the man in front of her out of the corner of her eye. He looked so much better than her brother, his temperament was better, her brother was a sunny boy, while the man in front of her was a mature and stable uncle. They were not comparable, but he could cook better than his brother, and the cooking was even delicious.

After some comparison, Yan Xi instantly understood why Shen Qinglan chose Fu Hengyi instead of her brother. If it were herself, she would probably choose the man in front of her.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Xi still had a little bit of sympathy for her brother in her heart. It was really difficult to snatch her big sister from such a man.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Yan Xi suddenly coughed violently, Shen Qinglan gave her a helpless look, and handed her a glass of water, “What were you thinking, you don’t even concentrate on eating.”

Yan Xi didn’t know that she was in a daze, that caused her to choke, her face was flushed from coughing, and even her eyes were red.

“Are you okay?” Shen Qinglan was a little worried, Fu Hengyi looked sideways, Qinglan seemed to be particularly concerned about the little girl in front of her.

Yan Xi waved her hand, and when she calmed down, she took a sip of water, “Big sister, I’m fine, but I’m choking a little.”

After eating, Shen Qinglan stood up and wanted to clean up the dishes. After all, there were outsiders around. She wanted to save some face for Fu Hengyi, but Fu Hengyi took the bowl and chopsticks and left.

“Big sister, brother-in-law is so kind to you.” Yan Xi said enviously, she couldn’t help but think of her parents. She used to think that her parents were very loving, but now that she thought about it, it was actually an illusion. The interaction between them was never like a loving couple.

The look in her eyes darkened, and the emotion that had just risen fell again.

Shen Qinglan knew that she didn’t want to say it, so she didn’t ask, “You wait for me here, and I will take you to my house later.”

Yan Xi nodded, and sat on the sofa obediently waiting for Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan went into the kitchen and talked to Fu Hengyi. It was only later that Fu Hengyi found out that she still had a house in Shangyayuan, and knew that she was going to send Yan Xi there. Fu Hengyi didn’t say much, but told her, “Be careful when driving. I’ll wait for you to come back.” After speaking, his eyes seemed to pause on a certain part of her, and his eyes turned deep.

Shen Qinglan received his gaze, remembered what someone said at the beach in the afternoon, her face became a little warm, then she nodded, took the car keys and left.

Fu Hengyi smiled and continued to wash the dishes.

“Big sister, what do you think it’s like to like someone?” On the way, Yan Xi looked out the window and asked softly.

Shen Qinglan drove the car without looking at her, “Do you have a boy you like? The family disagrees, so you ran away from home?” She guessed.

“No, I didn’t run away because of a man.” Yan Xi retorted, but did not deny that she ran away from home.

“What’s that for?”

Yan Xi was silent for a moment, then said, “Big sister, do you still remember the illegitimate daughter of my father I told you about?”

“Yes.”

Qin Mu, how could she forget.

“Her mother came back and met my father. I don’t know what she said to my father. My father is going to divorce my mother. And… moreover, I saw my father beat my mother with my own eyes.”

Yan Xi’s eyes turned red, “It’s the first time I’ve seen my father beat someone after I grew up. He came from Nancheng, I thought he was here to see me and my mother, but as soon as he entered the door he slapped my mom with great strength, and I saw that the corner of my mom’s mouth was bleeding.”

Shen Qinglan’s expression turned cold, and she felt a little dislike for Yan Anbang, whom she had never seen before. Ever since she got to know that this man was Qin Mu’s biological father, Shen Qinglan didn’t like him very much, and now that she heard that he hit a woman, it was even more difficult for her to develop a good impression of him.

“My mother hasn’t said anything yet, but he is going to divorce my mother, and his attitude is very firm.”

“What’s the reason?” Shen Qinglan asked, since there was to be a divorce, there must be a reason.

Yan Xi shook her head with a sad expression, “I don’t know, they had a big fight in the study room, I couldn’t hear what they said, it seemed to be related to his missing illegitimate daughter, and after he left, he told my mother to come back to Nancheng to go through the divorce procedures as soon as possible, otherwise he will sue her.”

Shen Qinglan’s eyes went a little dark, it was really related to Qin Mu, could it be related to Qin Mu’s disappearance, she remembered that she asked Qin Mu once, why did she fall into the hands of traffickers. How did Qin Mu answer back then?

“Xiao Qi, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart. Remember, don’t trust others easily, let alone rely on others too much. Even me, you can’t believe me.” Shen Qinglan remembered Qin Mu’s words in her mind.

The sadness in the eyes, associating with some previous guesses, the chill in her eyes gradually deepened.

After sending Yan Xi to Shangyayuan, before leaving, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but say, “You stay here these few days, don’t run around, you are a girl, don’t run away from home easily, in case you meet someone or something dangerous, it will be too late for you to regret anything.”

As for Shen Qinglan’s words, Yan Xi always listened, heard them, and nodded obediently.

“If you have anything to do, you can call me. If you can’t find me, you can find Enxi, and she will help you.” Shen Qinglan said, glanced at Jin Enxi, and Jin Enxi returned her knowing look.

Yan Xi nodded, watched Shen Qinglan leave, and then stared at Jin Enxi. Jin Enxi had known Yan Xi for a long time. After all, she was still investigating the disappearance of Qin Mu back then. She knew Qinglan’s suspicion, and had just pressed the search in that direction, but hadn’t found any clues so far.

“Sister Enxi, I’ll go to bed first.” After all, they were not familiar with each other, and Yan Xi didn’t know how to get along with Jin Enxi, so she chose to sleep. Jin Enxi smiled and waved, “Go girl, go to bed early, it’s good for the skin.”

As soon as Shen Qinglan walked downstairs, she received a call from Yan Shengyu, “Student Shen, did my sister come to see you?” As soon as the call was connected, Yan Shengyu asked, with undisguised eagerness in his voice.

He had searched all the places he could search, but he had not found Yan Xi. It was dark now, and it was too dangerous for a girl to be outside. Could he not be in a hurry? At the same time, he was secretly blaming Yan Xi for her waywardness, it wasn’t the first time she ran away from home.

“She’s here with me, she’s fine.”

Shen Qinglan said lightly, “I think she’s not in a good mood, so I’ll let her stay with me for two days. If you are worried, you can come and pick her up.”

In fact, even if Yan Shengyu didn’t give her a call, then also she would’ve told Yan Shengyu about Yan Xi being with her.

“No need, let her stay with you for a few days first, and I will pick her up in two days, please forgive me.” Yan Shengyu heaved a long sigh of relief, as long as she was fine.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qinglan went upstairs and walked into the bedroom. As expected, Fu Hengyi was already lying on the bed waiting for her, wearing pyjamas, leaning against the head of the bed looking through Shen Qinglan’s painting album.

Seeing Shen Qinglan come back, he put the album on the bedside table, and just looked at Shen Qinglan for a moment, even a blind person could see what he meant with the heat in his eyes.

Shen Qinglan’s cheeks became hot when she saw him, and she said, “I’ll take a shower first.” Then she ran into the bathroom, Fu Hengyi smiled, and waited for her to call him.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Shen Qinglan’s voice was heard, “Fu Hengyi, help me get my pyjamas.” She forgot to take her pyjamas just now, and she didn’t remember until she was covered in foam.

“Okay, wait.” Fu Hengyi got up from bed, walked to the closet, took out a set of black pyjamas from the bottom drawer, glanced at the thin fabric in his hand, smiled and walked to the bathroom, “Open the door.”

Shen Qinglan opened a slit and stretched out her snow-white wrist. Fu Hengyi put the pyjamas on her hand, and returned to the bed, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, obviously in a good mood.
