Chapter 209 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (8)
Grandpa Xie was interrupted by Xie Jinyi's sudden anger and harsh look.
Seeing his face turn ugly as he couldn't control his emotions, Grandpa Xie felt a little strange and puzzled, but he didn't say anything else, just reminded him:
"As long as you know what's going on."
Then he waved his hand and sent the two away.
For the first time, Xie Jinyi strode out without caring about his manners, and it was difficult for Lin Pianpian behind him to catch up with him.
She didn't know why Xie Jinyi suddenly changed his attitude. The two of them were not young anymore. Wasn't it normal for their grandfather to urge them to have a child?
Is it necessary to get so angry?
The more Lin Pianpian thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more depressed she felt. Now, let alone having a baby, Xie Jinyi wouldn't even enter her room. Where could she give birth to a baby?
Xie Jinyi was very confused and didn't want to bother with her anymore. He just strode out of the door and drove away from the old house with a sullen face.
Looking at the straight road ahead, Xie Jinyi couldn't calm down no matter what.
He knew very well that Lu Chi and she were a legitimate couple, and it was normal for them to have children together.
But the more I thought about it, the gloomier his face became, as if covered with a layer of unmelting frost, which made people feel daunted.
Here, Ruan Guannan ran into Lu Chi when he was almost home.
He lowered the window to look at the person on the side of the road, and nodded at him.
"Get in the car and I'll take you back."
Ruan Guannan looked at the door of his house which was just a stone's throw away, and silently complained in his heart:
By the time the car door was opened, she had already gone in.
But she smiled and nodded, then obediently sat in the passenger seat.
Lu Chi seemed to be in a good mood today, so Ruan Guannan asked casually,
"Did anything happy happen to you today?"
Lu Chi turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help but frowned again.
"Leave me alone?"
Ruan Guannan paused, his fingers couldn't help but curled up, and whispered:
"Sorry, I was just asking."
Lu Chi regretted what he said as soon as he said it, but he really couldn't say an apology.
He pursed his lips irritably and drove in silently.
In the darkness of the night, in the silent and dark carriage not far away, only a little scarlet of cigarette butt remained, and the dim light reflected by the lens obscured the owner's true emotions.
It was not until his fingertips were burned by the falling cigarette ash that he came back to his senses.
The scene of Ruan Guannan smiling and lowering his eyes while talking to Lu Chi fell into his eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more it irritated him.
Didn't he say he didn't like his wife? When could they live in peace?
Xie Jinyi took off his glasses irritably and threw them aside, then leaned back in his chair and smoked.
After there were quite a few cigarette butts scattered on the ground, Xie Jinyi finally calmed down his out-of-control emotions and walked in calmly.
A few days passed peacefully, and the project that Xie Jinyi and Lu Chi were busy with was officially launched. The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and invited Sun You to go out for a drink.
"Okay, you two, you're really disloyal for making a lot of money without taking me with you!"
Sun You started yelling as soon as he entered the room, as if he was really heartbroken by the two of them.
Lu Chi mocked unceremoniously:
"You're racing and picking up girls all day, do you have time to take me with you?"
Sun You took the wine he handed over and took a big sip, then waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly:
"Brother, I don't have any big ambitions. As long as I have enough money to spend, I'm not like Brother Xie, who almost devotes his life to work. It's boring."
In the middle of the wine, Sun You looked at Lu Chi leaning on the sofa bored, blinked at him knowingly, and asked Xie Jinyi casually,
"Brother Xie, what is Pian Pian doing recently? I haven't seen him out much."
Xie Jinyi paused, remembering that he saw Lin Pianpian coming back drunk every day these days. He had advised her several times but she didn't listen, so Xie Jinyi didn't ask any more questions.
He shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Sun You shrugged implicitly at Lu Chi, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
But Lu Chi didn't even look at him, nor did he hear clearly the conversation between the two. He was shaking the wine glass in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In order not to be partial, Sun You also asked Lu Chi a question.
"What about you? What's your beautiful wife doing? I haven't seen her since the last party."
Lu Chi paused, glared at him impatiently, and muttered,
"What else can she do besides working on her gallery?"
"Oh, what an amazing painter! Let's go to her gallery someday to learn from her. Hahaha."
"Go to hell, don't go!"
Lu Chi kicked him, and the two of them laughed and joked back and forth for a while. No one noticed that Xie Jinyi on the opposite side had been unusually silent since Sun You asked the question.

Today, the first art exhibition of Nguyen Quan Nam Gallery is about to begin.
Early in the morning, she was dressed particularly brightly and appropriately, wearing a dark blue off-shoulder dress, her long hair curled into several big curls and gathered behind her, and a pair of teardrop-shaped earrings of the same color on her ears.
On top of her straight and tall shoulders was a swan-like neck that was exposed, and her whole body was so white that it seemed to be glowing.
In order to arrive faster, Ruan Guannan chose to drive.
Her parents gave her several luxury cars as a dowry from the beginning. Together with the ones given by the Lu family and Lu Chi, Ruan Guannan now has at least twenty luxury cars in her name, but she rarely drives them.
As soon as it opened, something went wrong.
Still some distance away from the gallery, Ruan Guannan's car had a flat tire halfway through the road.
Ruan Guannan raised his hand to check the time, then anxiously called Lu Chi, hoping that she could come and see him off.
But he didn't answer after several calls. Ruan Guannan raised his hand to block the glaring sunlight, and his impatience grew deeper and deeper.
Just when she was thinking of trying someone else, the person she was thinking about appeared in front of her.
Xie Jinyi opened the car door and got out. He took one look at her car and knew what was wrong. He said in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, call a tow truck first."
"If you're in a hurry, I'll take you there first and let my driver wait for you here."
Xie Jinyi's calm voice calmed her anxious mood. Now Ruan Guannan had no time to care about the accident between them. She just looked at him with gratitude.
"Thank you, I don't know what I would do without Mr. Xie."
Ruan Guannan's eyes were slightly red, which made Xie Jinyi's heart soften.
The two got into the car quickly. After Ruan Guannan sat down, Xie Jinyi started the car and drove towards her gallery.
After he calmed down, Ruan Guannan suddenly remembered something and looked at the man in the driver's seat with some concern.
"Mr. Xie, did this delay your work?"
Xie Jinyi glanced at her sideways, smiled and said soothingly:
"I'm the boss, it doesn't matter if I don't go."
Ruan Guannan opened his eyes wide in surprise, staring at the man's superior profile in disbelief, muttering in his heart:
As a boss, is it really appropriate for you to take the lead in skipping work?
However, because of his joke, Ruan Guannan also relaxed.
When they arrived at the entrance of the gallery, Ruan Guannan got out of the car and was about to thank him, but he didn't expect Xie Jinyi to follow him down.
Ruan Guannan looked at him in confusion. Xie Jinyi's eyes were slightly darker behind his glasses, and the emotions hidden in them were quickly restrained by him. He asked politely:
"I haven't participated in many art exhibitions. I wonder if I will have the honor today?"
