Li Xiwu didn't know what kind of expression was appropriate for a moment.
Thinking that Qiao Qiao was not in front of her at this time, she just smiled to herself in the end.
Qiao Qiao didn't hear Li Xiwu's voice and shouted twice. Li Xiwu came to his senses and said, "I'm listening, tell me."
Qiao Qiao: "Well... is it convenient for you to tell me the specific situation now?"
The sentence just now was a joke. Qiao Qiao guessed that Li Xiwu was encountering something now, otherwise why would he be so absent-minded even when he answered the phone?!
Li Xiwu took out the phone and looked at the screen, then said: "To make a long story short, I don't know how to explain this clearly. I'll call you later. If you don't receive my call later, let's call you another day."
"
Qiao Qiao said: "It seems that what you encountered this time is a bit complicated."
Li Xiwu smiled: "It's a bit."
It was a little late, so Li Xiwu had to hang up the phone first.
This side of Xingzhou.
Qiao Qiao was staring at her phone in trance. She didn't hear Shao Jingmo calling her several times behind her.
Shao Jingmo walked up to Qiao Qiao and saw that she was distracted staring at her cell phone with the screen turned off. He leaned forward slightly and called her: "Qiao Qiao."
The voice was very close to Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses and raised her eyes to see Shao Jingmo who had appeared in front of her at some point. She continued to stay as before for a while.
Shao Jingmo looked at her: "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Qiao opened her mouth and replied: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Shao Jingmo asked: "Have you thought about it?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head.
Shao Jingmo turned around: "Then let's go."
Qiao Qiao's mind was still a little unclear, so she mumbled a "Hello" and then raised her feet to keep up with Shao Jingmo's pace. As she walked, she stopped and looked at Shao Jingmo who was walking in front of her: "Where are we going?"
Shao Jingmo stopped and looked back at her.
He stared at her for a few seconds, then a smile appeared on his lips: "If you were any slower to react, I should have sold you and counted the money by now."
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips: "Then where are you taking me now?"
Shao Jingmo reminded her: "Think about what to eat tomorrow night. It's too late tonight. Let's start the meal right away."
Qiao Qiao rubbed her eyebrows with her fingertips and lowered her eyes: "Oh, I forgot."
Shao Jingmo: "Let's go."
Qiao Qiao took her hand away and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Shao Jingmo. She frowned and looked at him: "Well... Shao Jingmo, I want to discuss something with you."
Shao Jingmo asked directly: "Want to return to the capital?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes widened: "You eavesdropped on me answering the phone?"
"I just overheard it." He looked calm: "So it's not eavesdropping."
Qiao Qiao's voice softened a few decibels, and she didn't get serious with him. She just talked about the matter directly: "Then can I go back to the capital? I'll only go back for two days."
Shao Jingmo asked quietly: "Do you like Beijing more than Xingzhou?"
Qiao Qiao clasped her fingers, lowered her head slightly, and replied in a muffled voice: "I have lived in the capital for more than three years. At the beginning, I had no relatives and no friends, and I worked my way up from the bottom. The most important three years of my life's growth were in
I still have very deep feelings for that place.”
She deliberately said it so sincerely.
It was because she felt that as long as she understood things rationally and emotionally, Shao Jingmo would be able to understand and agree to allow her to return to the capital for a few days. Shao Jingmo would cooperate with her here, and it wouldn't take long.
If she just left like this and Shao Jingmo didn't agree, grandpa would be angry because he knew it would make her condition worse, and then she really should die.
She looked at Shao Jingmo eagerly, waiting for his agreement.
However--
Shao Jingmo said: "No."
Qiao Qiao's face immediately fell: "Aren't you willing to do this little favor?"
Shao Jingmo looked at her calmly: "No."
Qiao Qiao asked: "Why not?"
Shao Jingmo did not explain, simply rejected it, then turned and left.
Qiao Qiao hurriedly caught up, keeping the distance behind Shao Jingmo, and said: "Grandpa's physical condition has been stable these two days. Can I just go back to the capital for two days? I will be back in two days. If grandpa asks in these two days,
Get up, just say that I went out to play, Shao Jingmo, just for the sake of..."
Shao Jingmo's feet stopped.
Qiao Qiao almost bumped into Shao Jingmo. She managed to steady her body, thinking that he was about to agree, and her face lit up: "I knew it..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Shao Jingmo——
He turned around and said to her in a cold voice: "Stay well in Xingzhou. Other than that, don't want to go anywhere other than Xingzhou."
After that, Shao Jingmo left directly.
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, and her eyes immediately turned red.
She cried spinelessly while chasing after Shao Jingmo: "Shao, can't you promise me once? Just treat it as the first thing I ask you for after marriage, Shao Jingmo, Shao Jingmo, little uncle...
"
Shao Jingmo walked very fast, and Qiao Qiao was crying while chasing her, unable to catch up at all.
Even if he couldn't catch up, he stumbled and fell to his knees. Qiao Qiao's face turned pale in pain and she cried even more aggrievedly.
"Shao Jingmo, you bastard!"
Qiao Qiao wiped her tears and cursed.
However, the person was already far away, and I was afraid that I couldn't hear what she was scolding at all.
Qiao Qiao was angry and aggrieved, so she rubbed her knee that hurt from the fall. The more she rubbed, the more painful it became. When she scratched her trouser legs, she saw that the skin was broken and red, with some blood seeping out.
Jiang Lin came over from nowhere and bent down to help Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao looked up and saw her mother. At that moment, the grievance in her heart doubled: "Mom..."
Jiang Lin sighed softly: "Get up first."
Qiao Qiao used her strength to stand up slowly. She felt a burning pain in her knees, and she frowned in discomfort.
Tears fell down like broken beads. Jiang Lin raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Qiao Qiao's cheeks: "It's useless to cry. You have grown up alone in the past three years. Haven't you learned this principle?"
Qiao Qiao was silent for a moment and looked at Jiang Lin blankly.
Jiang Lin supported her carefully: "Come on, go in first and I'll apply some medicine on you. You are so alive and kicking, but what if the wound becomes infected later?"
Qiao Qiao felt even more uncomfortable.
Even though we are in our own home, we have no freedom of our own and feel like we are inferior to others.
She could actually just leave.
Shao Jingmo may not be able to stop her.
But she couldn't worry about her grandpa. This was her leverage, so now she had to listen to Shao Jingmo's advice in order to make her grandpa happy.
Sitting down on the sofa, Jiang Lin took the medical kit from the drawer, opened it and found the iodophor, and carefully rolled up Qiao Qiao's trouser legs.
The broken skin wound was redder than before, and not much blood seeped out. It was rubbed by the trouser leg just now, and some of it was smeared around the wound.
Jiang Lin frowned as she looked at it: "It hurts a bit, please bear with it."
Qiao Qiao said: "What should I do if I can't help it?"
Jiang Lin: "Then you can't bite your mother."
Qiao Qiao chuckled, smiled and sighed: "Mom, do you think I am spineless?"
"It's a bit." Jiang Lin adjusted the iodophor nozzle in her hand: "But you are a girl, so you don't need to have too much backbone, you just need to be pretty."
Qiao Qiao asked: "Why?"
Jiang Lin smiled knowingly: "Because girls are born to be unreasonably beautiful."
