Chapter 355 I had to take a step forward
"Grandma, times are different now. At that time, you were already in your 18s and 20s and were the masters of the family. Naturally, you got married early. We are still children in our 18s and 20s now. You will be laughed at if you get married!" Ye Zichen said while looking towards Liang Yan.
Looking calm on the surface, in fact, he was very anxious in his heart, for fear that Liang Yan would think wrongly and ignore him again.
"Who is making a joke? Who dares to make a joke?!" Mrs. Ye glared and looked fierce.
Seeing that his mother was a little angry and that his son was not in the right mood, Ye Nancheng was afraid that the two would antagonize each other and lose the Ye family's face in public, so he quickly smoothed things over.
"Marriage is not a trivial matter. It needs to be considered in the long term. Today we will only talk about romance, not formality. Come, mother, my son will give you a toast. Thank you for taking care of my house these past two months. Thank you for your hard work!"
When he said this, everyone started to raise their cups.
Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but brush her son's face, so she had to pick up the cup and drink with everyone.
After drinking, someone changed the topic, and the matter was covered up.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Jiang Qingzhou was about to go back, he received a call from Gu Shaoting.
"Zhouzhou, guess where I am now?"
Gu Xuesong vaccinated her in advance in the morning. Jiang Qingzhou naturally knew that Gu Shaoting was in Philadelphia now.
But she still pretended not to know anything, and said with a smile: "If I am not taking care of the child, or on the way to take care of the child, where else can I be?"
"Wrong, I We are in Philadelphia now, less than thirty kilometers away from your home!"
"Ah, cousin, you are coming to Philadelphia, is it true?" Jiang Qingzhou looked surprised and happy.
"I lied to you before, of course it's true! I estimate that I will be at your house in another hour. Just wait for me at home. I brought you a gift."
"Thank you, cousin, I'm outside now, but I'll be home soon. Slow down on the road, and call me if you don't know the way!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qingzhou went to say goodbye to the Ye family.
Ye Nancheng was still socializing, so she went to the room of the old lady of the Ye family.
"Grandma, I have to leave first because I have something to do. Today's meal was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality!"
There had been a lot of commotion at home all morning, with guests coming and going. Mrs. Ye's body was a little overwhelmed. At the moment, she was leaning on the bed, and a maid was squeezing her legs.
Hearing Jiang Qingzhou's voice, she opened her eyes, "Are you leaving now? Why don't you play a little longer?"
Jiang Qingzhou told Gu Shaoting about coming to Philadelphia. .
When Mrs. Ye heard that it was someone from Nanzhou, it was hard to persuade her to stay, so she said, "I'll ask Zichen to take you back!"
"No need, grandma, I've already followed Zichen. Chen said, "I can just walk by myself. There's not much to do. Don't worry. Just lie down."
Jiang Qingzhou exchanged greetings with Mrs. Ye and then retreated from her room.
Coming out of the house, Jiang Qingzhou turned right and walked in the direction of the parking lot. When passing through a corridor, he saw two familiar figures standing under the grape trellis.
Zi Zichen and Liang Yan.
She raised her lips and smiled, slowed down, took a detour and walked elsewhere.
Jiang Qingzhou drove out of Ye's house and passed by her school. Not far from the school, at the alley where he dragged her into that day, he saw Ji Ye, the former monitor.
Ji Ye was surrounded by three strong men, and the four of them didn't know what they were talking about.
But it can be seen that Ji Ye is very nervous and anxious, and he is gesturing with his hands from time to time.
After a while, the four of them entered the dark, damp alley that never saw sunlight all year round.
This shot flashed by.
Jiang Qingzhou had already passed by in his car, but the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He turned his head from where he could make a U-turn in the middle of the road, and then turned back.
"You brat, what did you say when you borrowed the money? You would pay it back on time in half a year. Now it's half a month overdue. Where is the money you paid back?" A man growled at Ji Ye fiercely. Ji Ye clasped his hands together and kept bowing to them.
"I'm sorry, brother, I'm really in trouble recently. Give me one more week, just one week, and I will definitely pay back the money within one week!"
Such a noble and conceited person was now as humble as a beggar.
"Fuck you, my ears are ringing with these words, why are you fooling me! I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, brothers, give him some color and see, Let’s see if he still dares not to pay back the money?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two men immediately stepped forward. One of them waved his fist and punched Ji Ye directly.
Ji Ye groaned, leaned to the side, and fell to the ground.
Another man quickly went up and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Ji Ye’s overnight meal was kicked out.
“You brat, you dare not repay the money you owe the Fifth Master. You’ve eaten the heart of a bear and become a leopard. I won’t teach you a lesson today. You don’t know how powerful we are. Brothers, beat me to death. , I will be responsible if anything happens!”
"Bang!"
"Bang!~"
"Ah——"
The two men punched and kicked Ji Ye who was lying on the ground. He let out a wail of pain.
Just when Ji Ye thought he was going to explain what he was doing here today, a gust of wind blew at the entrance of the alley, and a ray of bright sunshine shone in.
"Stop!" The voice was not loud, but it carried the dignity of a leader.
Jiang Qingzhou walked over against the light.
The three men were slightly startled when they heard the voice. When they saw that the person coming was a young girl, they immediately burst into obscene laughter.
“Little sister, which brother do you like, tell me and I’ll let him play with you!”
The leading man looked at Jiang Qingzhou’s smooth calves and touched his chin , said obscenely.
Jiang Qingzhou walked over fearlessly, pushed away the two men surrounding Ji Ye, pointed at Ji Ye on the ground, and asked the leading man: "How much does he owe you?"
"Yo , Why do you want to pay it back for him? Let’s agree in advance, we don’t want to pay for it with our own bodies!”
“I asked you how much he owes you, why is there such nonsense?” Frowning, showing impatience.
"Oh, you speak so toughly, I like your sister!"
The leading man walked over, put a hand on Jiang Qingzhou's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Sister , you are so beautiful and you are really at a loss for following this loser, come with me, I will take you to eat and drink, and I will satisfy you whatever you want!”
As he spoke, he moved frivolously to touch Jiang Qingzhou's cheek. Jiang Qingzhou grabbed his wrist and pushed his hand behind his back.
This action was one of the self-defense techniques Bo Muhan taught her. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
"You stinky bitch, how dare you do something to my brother..."
"You are Jiang Qingzhou!" The leading man finally knew why this girl looked familiar at first sight. , it turns out that she is Jiang Qingzhou, the "little boss" who was famous in Philadelphia some time ago.
Jiang Qingzhou snorted coldly, pushed forward, and pushed the leading man out, "You are wise!"
Upon hearing that the other party was the wealthy Jiang Qingzhou, the three men immediately changed their attitudes.
Their main purpose is to ask for money. Now that someone is paying off Ji Ye's debt, they want it.
"Mr. Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, I was blind just now..."
"Stop talking nonsense, how much does it cost?!"
