Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 330 New Neighbor! (1)

"Impossible. I have no impression of this name at all." Mi Zhihong said with certainty. After he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mi Jing, and saw her looking thoughtful. Curiously, he asked, "Who is she?"

"The aunt of Ling Xing’s sister’s husband." Mi Jing said as she placed the sliced ginger into a plate, "The last time we met, she said I looked familiar, like she had seen me somewhere. So I thought she might be a friend of yours or Mom’s, but it turns out neither of you know her."

"People can look similar, it’s not unusual to mistake someone." Mi Zhihong said softly.

Haha, they really are a couple with such good chemistry. This was exactly what her mother said, even the tone was similar.

Mi Jing smiled silently, then picked up the knife and somewhat clumsily sliced the peppers, not noticing that Mi Zhihong beside her had zoned out, looking deeply troubled.

The stove continued to burn, and as the crabs gradually turned red, the water in the pot got less and less. After a while, a faint burnt smell suddenly filled the air.

It’s burnt!

Smelling the unusual aroma, Mi Jing immediately paused her actions, quickly turned around, and was shocked to find that the crabs in the pot had already dried out.

"Dad, what are you thinking about? The food is burnt!" Mi Jing saw that Mi Zhihong seemed lost in thought, so she hurriedly fetched a plate with some water, and while pouring it into the pot, she reminded him.

Hearing Mi Jing’s voice, Mi Zhihong snapped back to reality, glanced into the pot, and said calmly, "It’s okay, it’s just that the pot got scorched."

It was just a pot of food, so Mi Jing didn’t mind too much. However, Mi Zhihong’s reaction just now was so similar to Fang Qingru’s that she couldn’t help but suspect the truth of their claim that they didn’t know Su Aiping.

"Dad, you and Mom do know Mrs. Su, right? Did you perhaps want to be with her when you were young, and that makes you embarrassed to say? And Mom is still bothered by it to this day, so she doesn’t want to talk about it. Isn’t that it?" Mi Jing tilted her head and looked at Mi Zhihong, guessing with great interest.

"Nonsense! Your mother is my only one; how could I like another woman?" Mi Zhihong denied.

"Then what were you just thinking about?"

"Ding dong, ding dong—"

As soon as Mi Jing finished speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly. Thinking it might be Ruanruan, she immediately dashed out without waiting for an answer from Mi Zhihong.

"Ruanruan, wait..." As soon as she opened the door, Mi Jing couldn’t wait to tell Ruan Pianran about Chu Chen’s visit. However, before she could finish, Chu Chen’s handsome face suddenly appeared in her sight.

"Sister-in-law." Chu Chen greeted Mi Jing with his usual bright smile.

"You guys..." Mi Jing was stunned, her eyes darting back and forth between Ruan Pianran and Chu Chen, obviously not expecting them to appear together.

"We just happened to meet downstairs." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ruan Pianran looked directly at Mi Jing, speaking softly but with eyes full of sharp questions, as if silently demanding, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Chu Chen would also be here?"

"Haha, what a coincidence." Mi Jing, feeling guilty, avoided Ruan Pianran’s piercing gaze and chuckled foolishly, looking at Chu Chen.

What a coincidence?

Hearing this, Ruan Pianran’s gaze grew even sharper. She wished she could drag Mi Jing outside and give her a harsh scolding!

Big sis, I was forced into this, I felt helpless too!

Feeling Ruan Pianran’s intense gaze, Mi Jing turned her face away nervously, and innocently shot her a glance.

"Auntie."

Suddenly, Ruan Pianran’s face, which was emotionless, blossomed with a bright smile. Upon hearing this, Mi Jing turned around and was surprised to see her mother walking over with a warm, kind smile.

"Ruanruan, Chu, come in and sit." Fang Qingru said warmly, stopping behind Mi Jing.

Ruan Pianran, always unable to handle Fang Qingru’s enthusiasm, smiled politely. Though still upset with Mi Jing, she couldn’t continue glaring in front of Fang Qingru, so she smiled and walked to the living room.

Chu Chen followed Ruan Pianran inside. While Mi Jing and Ruan Pianran had an intense silent argument through their gazes, he noticed but pretended he hadn’t seen anything, placing his items on the coffee table and sitting next to Ruan Pianran.

No other seats available?

As soon as he sat down, Ruan Pianran glanced coldly at him. Despite her dissatisfaction, she kept quiet.

"Auntie, I’ll go help Uncle in the kitchen." Ruan Pianran stood up, smiling at Fang Qingru.

"No need, let Jingjing go. You sit down."

One second, Fang Qingru was smiling kindly at Ruan Pianran, but the next she turned and glared at Mi Jing, signaling her to go to the kitchen.

Are you my real mom?

Mi Jing pursed her lips, giving Fang Qingru a pitiful look before quickly turning to the kitchen.

Once Mi Jing left, Ruan Pianran lost her reason to leave too. She sat down, staring at the TV screen, pretending to watch a drama intently.

"Ruanruan, Jingjing said you will stay in Jin City for a while, right?" Fang Qingru asked, pouring tea for Ruan Pianran and Chu Chen.

"Yes." Ruan Pianran replied simply.

"Then come over for meals often. It’s just me and your uncle at home, more people makes it lively."

"Sure." Ruan Pianran agreed readily, "I’ll come often when I can."

"Haha." Fang Qingru laughed cheerfully, then turned to Chu Chen, "Chu, you too. I’m not boasting, but our home..."

Bang bang—

Before Fang Qingru could finish, a loud banging on a door upstairs startled her. She jumped up in shock.

"Auntie, what’s wrong?" Ruan Pianran asked, worried and confused, seeing Fang Qingru’s face change suddenly.

"Something seems to have happened at Mrs. Chen’s place." Fang Qingru said, hurrying to the door.

Bang bang—

As soon as the door opened, the banging grew louder. At this time, Mi Jing and Mi Zhihong, who were in the kitchen, also heard it and ran out together.

"Mom, don’t go up. I’ll check it out." Mi Jing stopped Fang Qingru and said urgently.
