It can be said that she had no knowledge of the Bai family's affairs before.
It was also during this trip to the capital that she heard Mother Qiao talk about this matter. What Mother Qiao said was not specific, but it gave her a general idea. In short, she finally figured out the real reason why her grandfather asked her to marry Shao Jingmo.
.
Grandpa wanted Shao Jingmo to protect her so that she would not be snatched away by the Bai family.
She is not Shao Jingmo's biological niece, and has no blood relationship with Shao Jingmo. If she were to suffer, Shao Jingmo would completely stand by and let her be snatched away by the Bai family. There is no man of the marriageable age for her in the Bai family.
, was she snatched away to be the concubine of the Bai family?
She doesn't want it!
If you marry an old man as a concubine, you might as well just die.
Mother Qiao said that grandpa regretted the bet back then. After much deliberation, the only way he could think of was to let her marry Shao Jingmo and become his wife. In this way, if she was in danger, Shao Jingmo would also consider her
For the sake of his wife, he would not ignore her.
The prerequisite for all this is that the marriage must be arranged by grandfather. Even if Shao Jingmo wants to refuse, he will agree to marry her for the sake of his grandfather's kindness in raising him and cultivating him over the years.
At first, Qiao Qiao felt that she was wronged to death.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather insisted on her marrying Shao Jingmo?
After learning the truth from Qiao's mother, she realized that the real wronged person was probably Shao Jingmo, who was forced to marry her.
He wanted to repay his grandfather's kindness in raising and nurturing her. After marrying her, he had to protect her against the Bai family.
As for the situation last night, she probably wouldn't have cared about Shao Jingmo's life or death before. How could she stay in the same room with him? Since she needed his protection in her current situation, she could only eagerly please Shao Jingmo more.
It's important to save your life.
However, she just knew the truth. She couldn't fully master it for a while, and she still couldn't control her proud temper. She couldn't help but go against Shao Jingmo. She quarreled with him several times last night, and she didn't know if he would.
Hold a grudge...
"You can go if you want, you don't have to tell me." Shao Jing said calmly.
Qiao Qiao tangled her fingers together, her mood a little complicated: "I told you that I hope you will come with me."
Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways.
Qiao Qiao met his gaze: "Originally, I came to pick you up last night to take you to Mozhai, but then because of your injury..."
Mentioning his injury, Qiao Qiao asked, "How are you feeling today? Is it still painful? Do you want me to help you check if the wound is inflamed? Do you want to change the dressing?"
Shao Jingmo saw concern in her eyes, which seemed sincere, but he knew very well that she just wanted to please him.
"It feels good, it doesn't hurt, and it doesn't matter if the wound is not inflamed. You bandaged it well last night to prevent bacterial infection." He answered in one breath, and added by the way: "Don't do this deliberately in front of me, just keep your usual behavior.
attitude, like last night.”
last night?
Defeat him every word?
Does the yin and yang spirit connotate him?
It's not that it's impossible, the main reason is that I'm afraid that it will get out of control. If I don't keep my mouth shut and offend him, it will be over. What if I get angry and don't care about her life or death at all?
To prepare for a rainy day, she had to pay attention to him. She could no longer be willful in front of him in the future. She could just hide her accusations in her heart.
"Then you..." Seeing the change in his eyes, she changed the word 'you' to the word 'you' that she usually shouted out, and continued to ask: "Then will you go to Mo's house with me?"
Shao Jingmo pursed his lips: "Is it okay to go tomorrow?"
He is asking for her opinion.
Qiao Qiao nodded quickly: "Okay, then let's go there tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned around and picked up her mobile phone to call Li Xiwu to avoid Li Xiwu's worries. But then she thought that Shao Jingmo had not stated whether he would go to Li Mansion today, so she fell back and looked at him eagerly.
Shao Jingmo knew what she wanted to ask and said directly: "I'll stay in the hotel today, and tomorrow I'll visit Mrs. Mo and then stay at Li Mansion."
Qiao Qiao grinned and nodded.
Shao Jing reminded her: "Go back to Xingzhou in five days."
The corners of Qiao Qiao's grinning lips tightened, and she replied in a faint voice: "I know."
-
The two of them spent the whole day in the hotel peacefully.
Shao Jingmo took several work calls in the morning, and each call was very long. He held a video conference for two hours in the afternoon, rested for a few minutes, and then resumed the call. Qiao Qiao had nothing to do and frequently took a breather indoors.
Her embarrassment was seen by Shao Jingmo.
And she herself didn't care much about her image in front of Shao Jingmo. Girls only care about their image when they go shopping or when they are in love, so in front of Shao Jingmo, she is completely her true self.
She was probably too bored, and Shao Jingmo couldn't see her being so bored, so he called her over to attend a meeting.
Qiao Qiao complained: "How can I understand you?"
Shao Jingmo's face was serious: "You have to listen even if you don't understand. This time when you return to Xingzhou, you have to enter the company to gain experience."
She subconsciously retorted: "Isn't the company already yours? Why do you still need me to practice? Even if I practice, what's the use? Can I squeeze you out and inherit the company?"
Shao Jingmo looked at her with deep eyes: "If you have the ability, of course you can."
Qiao Qiao shrugged: "Obviously, my dad doesn't have this ability, and I don't even have this ability."
Shao Jingmo pulled his lips and chuckled: "You don't even look down on yourself?"
"It's not that I look down on myself." She retorted and found a more convincing reason: "The main reason is that the competitor is you. I am destined to have no chance of winning, so why do I have to endure this hardship?"
Shao Jingmo: "The reason sounds legitimate."
Qiao Qiao chuckled.
Shao Jingmo glanced at her.
Qiao Qiao immediately suppressed her smile: "Don't be so serious. Apart from the fact that I can't compete with you, there is another reason."
Shao Jingmo was not curious about the other reasons and did not continue to ask her.
But Qiao Qiao couldn't control her mouth and insisted on saying in front of Shao Jingmo: "I am your wife in name. The property of the couple is jointly owned. With you in charge of the company, I will not be short of money to spend...right?"
The last two words, 'Yeah', were said very quietly, without any confidence.
But Shao Jingmo heard it clearly. He was surprised that she would admit the fact that the two were a couple in name. He felt a little relieved and smiled and said, "It does make sense."
After he agreed, Qiao Qiao's expression became slightly satisfied: "Look, you said so..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shao Jingmo: "But I am more concerned about my wife sitting back and enjoying the success. It is better to work hard together. When I return to Xingzhou, I will join the company without any discussion."
Qiao Qiao's face dropped: "Will I be your secretary?"
Shao Jingmo: "Anything is fine."
Qiao Qiao: "Are you a serious secretary?"
Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly.
Qiao Qiao smiled mischievously: "The secretary wants to wear black stockings, do I have to wear it too?"
Shao Jingmo's voice became deeper: "Quiet."
She replied angrily: "I know."
This tone was a bit harsh, just like her usual tone when talking against Shao Jingmo.
Shao Jingmo's lips curved and he reached out to open the video connection.
The video conference started, and Qiao Qiao didn't dare to slip away, so she had to listen obediently. Shao Jingmo spoke in English throughout the video conference, with very fluent British pronunciation. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes and felt like there was a foreigner sitting next to her.
I don’t know if Shao Jingmo’s English was too hypnotic, but Qiao Qiao fell asleep next to him with her chin propped up and listening.
