I have thick skin
"Anyway, sister already knows......" Qin Xiangqing sighed as if helpless and continued.
She was taken aback for a moment, and her small hand that had been resting on the door handle relaxed and fell to her side.
Xiang Qing pushed the door open and immediately saw the side of his face that had been hidden behind the door, which was indeed severely swollen, just as the two servants had said.
So, Mother really did use a heavy hand on You Ran. Thinking of this, Xiang Qing's brow furrowed again.
She walked into the room with a bowl of noodles, You Ran following closely behind her, looking at the noodles and sniffing the fragrance wafting out, feeling very familiar.
In these years, she often got to eat the noodles cooked by her sister for her. Basically, every time she encountered something difficult, she could always get a bowl of her sister's loving noodles.
"Sister, how did you know I was hungry?" He forced a smile and asked with a silly grin.
Qin Xiangqing placed the bowl in You Ran's palm, and with his now-free hand, he covered You Ran's cheek, asking with concern: "Does it hurt? The swelling is so severe..."
"It doesn't hurt, sis, I'm thick-skinned!" He shook his head leisurely.
"Silly girl!" Qin Xiangqing scolded with dissatisfaction, "Eat your noodles first, I'll go get an ice pack for you to apply on your face!"
"Alright!" Then, he sat down obediently and ate his noodles.
Qin Xiangqing went downstairs to get an ice pack, and soon returned to the serene room, sat beside You Ran, gently holding her shoulder with one hand, and applying the ice pack with the other.
。
"Is it because of Ah Wei that you got beaten up by mom?" Qin Xiangqing was actually asking a rhetorical question.
"Sister, mom saw brother-in-law's car drop me off and misunderstood, I and brother-in-law..."
You Yan hadn't finished speaking when Qin Xiang Qing interrupted her, "Don't say any more, I would have misunderstood you and Ah Wei again. Besides, it's because of me that you went to work by Ah Wei's side... You Yan, sorry, this time I've dragged you down again..."
"Sister, what are you talking about? What's this about being implicated or not? Mom just misunderstood, it'll be fine if we just explain it to her clearly!"
Qin Xiang Qing nodded, implying: "Alright, I'll go and make things clear to her, let her not misunderstand you again. You Ran, sister promises you, such bitterness, will never let you suffer again!"
Don't worry, once you and he are together, you will never suffer like this again!
Xiang Qing helped You Ran apply a face mask, and although her face didn't hurt anymore, it was possible that her skin was too delicate, so the mark from the slap remained visible even after a week, and on Monday, upon closer inspection, some faint marks could still be seen.
She arrived at the company leisurely and before Mr. Huo had arrived, she sat down in her seat to help Luo Tian tidy up documents.
It was just past nine o'clock, and the sound of steady footsteps echoed in the corridor. A moment later, Huo Zhenyu walked into the general manager's office, his gaze naturally falling on the little woman who was not far away, her head bowed, carefully handling documents.
But in a leisurely manner, having never come into contact with so much data before, due to the various types of data analysis categorized and sub-categorized, one head two big, even when the general manager walked into the office, everyone said good morning, but nobody reacted.
Suddenly, the intercom on her desk rang. She reached out to answer it without lifting her head, and heard Huo Zhenyu's low voice on the phone: "You Ran, bring in a cup of coffee!"
"Oh, okay!" You Yan subconsciously replied.
Just as he put down the phone, he forgot what he had just agreed to a few seconds ago. Luo Tian couldn't help but remind You Ran, "You Ran, Mr. Huo asked you to send coffee in..."
He slowly raised his head from a large pile of documents, "Huh? What? Sending coffee......oh, it seems like there was such a thing..."
Then, Lu Tian covered his forehead and sighed...
