Chapter 546: I can’t laugh anymore, a love rival appears
When Shao Jingmo said he wouldn't go, Qiao Qiao was not very happy.
Because what she is more worried about now is: "If you don't go, how will the Bai family explain it?"
The Bai family's power may not have reached a point where they need to be feared.
However, the current attitude of the Bai family towards Shao Jingmo is obviously showing goodwill. If Shao Jingmo does not go this time, it will be a direct sign that he will not give the Bai family face.
It would not be a good thing to have a falling out with the Bai family on the surface.
"Are you worried?" Shao Jingmo asked her.
Qiao Qiao nodded: "You tell me, you must be worried."
Shao Jingmo played with her fingers and comforted her softly: "The Bai family did have some status in Xingzhou in the early years, but today is different from the past. The Bai family has become a mess inside and is not as united as the outside world sees it."
Qiao Qiao didn't quite understand this: "I can understand that the Bai family is currently in a stage of internal strife?"
Shao Jingmo rolled his lips: "That's understandable."
He controlled the most appropriate force, massaged it gently and gently, and then asked her: "Mrs. Shao, is this force okay?"
Qiao Qiao was curious: "Why do you still feel that the debt in your heart increases instead of decreasing even though we have a good relationship?"
She took a deep breath and stretched again. Every movement of her body showed that she was sleepy.
Mr. Qiao: "Of course you are the only granddaughter, but grandpa also has a granddaughter."
Qiao Qiao was surprised: "Why do you think it's him?"
The servant nodded, exited after Qiao Qiao came in, and closed the door.
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "No, little uncle treats me the same way he treats me in front of you, and he also treats me outside. If I ask him about things in the company that I don't understand, he will patiently tell me. Little uncle is very good to me.
"
After Qiao Qiao saw it, she knew in her mind that the design style of the women's style was completely in line with her aesthetics, and the men's style was very suitable for Shao Jingmo. This must be the dress that her grandfather ordered for her and Shao Jingmo.
Qiao Qiao was startled: "Take me with you?"
"It'll be okay. Uncle said he won't go either, he will accompany me." Qiao Qiao was afraid that her grandfather would be too worried, so she told Shao Jingmo's arrangement.
Qiao Qiao took the fruit plate: "I know."
She was originally squatting among the flowers in the front yard. When she heard her grandfather's voice, she immediately stood up from the flowers, waved her little hands and shouted: "Grandpa~"
Mr. Qiao waved his hand: "The past is over. Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the recent events. People from the Bai family have already approached me. Bai Fengjiang's birthday is coming soon and he specially invited me to attend."
"Can I take leave tomorrow and stay at home?" she asked immediately.
At that time, Qiao Huasheng was leading a young man towards the entrance hall. After hearing Qiao Qiao's voice, he stopped and turned around.
Mr. Qiao didn't resist fruits very much, so he ate some of them.
Qiao Qiao let out a sigh, her eyebrows loosened: "Grandpa's physical condition is getting worse and worse, I'm very worried."
Shao Jingmo raised her hand and kissed her fingertips: "So don't worry about what will happen to the Bai family if I don't go. This birthday party is an internal competition in the Bai family in front of Mr. Bai. When Mr. Bai's birthday passes,
, the internal fighting in the Bai family may stop."
Listening to what Mr. Qiao said, the scene when Shao Jingmo came to their home for the first time slowly appeared in Qiao Qiao's eyes.
"Yuyu, they are here to deliver the dresses. I have ordered two sets of dresses. You ask them to come over." Mr. Qiao said while holding the teapot.
Qiao Qiao stood up and said, "Then you should rest early."
Mr. Qiao said angrily: "Even if your surname is Qiao, you can't get into this class if you can't say it. It's better to stay in the company and learn more than anything else. I don't need your company for a bad old man like me."
Mother Qiao cut a plate of fruit and handed it to Qiao Qiao: "Your grandfather is looking for you, maybe it's something related to the Bai family. Today, Bai Fengjiang called your grandfather, and I don't know what he said. Your grandfather has been talking all afternoon.
Never been out!"
Mr. Qiao sighed and said, "Jingmo is more thoughtful."
It didn't get worse.
Qiao Qiao knocked on the door, and the servant came to open the door for her, nodded and shouted: "Miss."
Qiao Qiao was very confused.
Mr. Qiao nodded: "Yes, grandpa plans to take you with him. Don't be afraid. You will be fine with grandpa."
After saying that, Mr. Qiao waved his hand: "You have been chatting with me for so long. Go and rest early. As for going to Bai's house, I will think about it again."
This doesn’t require racking your brains to guess.
Qiao Qiao put her hand on the box: "Such a beautiful dress, if grandpa didn't order it for me, does grandpa still have other granddaughters?"
She didn't know why her aunt's daughter Lin Xingruo came to their house at this time.
The most indispensable thing for people is greed. If you can dominate others, who would bother with the seemingly peaceful tripartite confrontation.
As the morning passed, it could be seen to the naked eye that Mr. Qiao's mood had improved a lot, and he also had an appetite for food.
After doing this, he put his hand back on her lower back.
Qiao Qiao nodded: "Yeah."
Qiao Qiao blinked: "Cousin?"
Mr. Qiao waved his hand: "Whenever you are happy, that's it. It's okay."
Mr. Qiao was amused and reached out to knock on Qiao Qiao's forehead and heart: "I have been clever since I was a child. I have been growing up for decades and I am not stable at all."
Mr. Qiao said meaningfully: "The people who used to always talk about it and try to push it away have now become mature and steady people from your mouth. It's rare to see it."
Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes: "Tomorrow I will arrange for the doctor to conduct a comprehensive examination on him."
After laughing and coughing, Qiao Qiao became very nervous and quickly poured water for the old man and patted him on the back.
Qiao Qiao had never seen such an ugly smile on a person's face.
After a pause, she added: "And this is called filial piety. Wouldn't it be better for me to accompany you to relieve your boredom? I happen to have a lot of interesting things to chat with you."
But what kind of results should be achieved to satisfy Mr. Bai the most?
Perhaps, bring her to Mr. Bai?
If Bai Qingfeng, Bai Qingnan, and Bai Qingchen attack at the same time, she will be in danger!
She was walking thinking about something, completely unaware of Shao Jingmo walking from the opposite side. She almost bumped into his arms before she heard his voice: "Why do you think so hard?"
Mr. Qiao's face became more solemn: "But if you don't go, I'll be even more worried."
It was almost five o'clock, and the person delivering the dress arrived at this time.
"..." Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh and walked past him: "I know, I'll go back to sleep first, I'm so sleepy~"
Qiao Qiao was confused, but she still agreed: "Let me take a look first."
Qiao Qiao hummed: "My uncle said that if I go this time, the Bai family may use despicable means to keep me here."
Shao Jingmo: "Mrs. Shao, the company has never had a system that prohibits asking for leave. If Mrs. Shao is not satisfied with the company's system, she can propose a rewrite."
As for why, she didn't know.
Grandpa probably hoped that she and Shao Jingmo would go together to the birthday banquet of the head of the Bai family.
Until dusk fell, a black Bentley slowly drove into Qiao's house.
Mr. Qiao guessed: "Jingmo won't let you go?"
"彽彽." Mr. Qiao shouted.
Qiao Qiao didn't want to get up, so she snuggled into his arms obediently: "Can you rub your waist for me?"
After her grandfather introduced her identity, the young man, knowing that he was about to live under someone else's care, gave her a very reluctant smile.
There are a lot of overt and covert fights in the group family.
The two sets of dresses are for men and women respectively.
Qiao Qiao also laughed.
Mr. Qiao asked: "So are you sensible now?"
Both of them were wearing work clothes. One of them stepped forward and said to Mr. Qiao: "Mr. Qiao, this is the dress you ordered a while ago. It has been ironed. Do you want to check or try it on? If there are any problems, you can change it immediately.
.”
He curled his lips and smiled: "For the reward, of course I have to serve Mrs. Shao comfortably."
-
Seeing that Bai Fengjiang's birthday is approaching.
So from that time on, she didn't like Shao Jingmo.
Qiao Qiao frowned: "Why is it that the Bai family is always haunted?"
During normal chats, Mr. Qiao rarely asked about Qiao Qiao's affairs in the company.
In particular, the Bai family is currently fighting among themselves, with several heirs vying to make achievements in front of Mr. Bai.
Shao Jingmo: "Bai Qingnan."
"Grandpa, I heard from my mother that you haven't gone out much recently. What can you do if you don't go out? It will get moldy, and the weather has been nice recently. How about I take a day off tomorrow and go for a walk with you outside?"
Soon, the person delivering the dress came over.
Qiao Qiao knew that her grandfather was teasing her, so she smiled sheepishly: "That was because I was young and ignorant."
Until I came back from work that day and after dinner, Mr. Qiao called Qiao Qiao and went to his place to talk to him.
Only seven-year-old Qiao Qiao was not in the house.
Mother Qiao stretched out her hand: "Take it, come up quickly, watch for some time, don't talk too long, and urge your grandpa to go to bed early."
Including some recent developments and changes within the Deep Blue Group.
Qiao Qiao gave serious answers.
Mr. Qiao raised his hand and pointed at Qiao Qiao: "You can communicate with her. She is my granddaughter."
Shao Jingmo looked at her walking back, his eyes gradually narrowed, then turned around and went to Mr. Qiao's living room.
-
The next day, Qiao Qiao took leave to stay at home and accompanied Mr. Qiao for a comprehensive physical examination.
"Yes, I plan to go." Mr. Qiao said with a solemn tone: "I locked myself in the room all afternoon today, and I figured it out. I will have to face it sooner or later, so grandpa plans to take you with me."
Not far away, Qiao Qiao heard her grandfather say to the boy: "Jingmo, look, that little girl in the flower is my granddaughter. Her name is Qiao Qiao. I gave her a little name, called Yuyu, and she will be you from now on."
My little niece."
The topic turned to Shao Jingmo, who was not present. Mr. Qiao asked: "Jingmo treats you well in front of me, but I can't fault you. Do you usually find fault with you in the company?"
In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao accompanied her grandfather to play chess and prune flowers in the front yard.
He said hello, then took off the watch on his wrist, placed it on the table next to him, and then unbuttoned his cufflinks and rolled them up halfway.
Qiao Qiao asked: "Grandpa, are you planning to go?"
She placed the fruit plate on the small table beside the bed, pulled a chair over, sat down by the bed, and looked at the old man who was sitting on the bed.
Qiao Qiao took her hand out of his palm, put her arms around his neck instead, and came closer and asked: "Then, among the three Bai family, who do you think will become the next head of the Bai family?"
The boy was only fourteen years old, wearing a clean sweater, and walked into the Qiao family's home under the leadership of his adoptive father Qiao Huasheng.
Or is it that Shao Jingmo's considerations are actually not that safe?
Perhaps it would be safest to go to the Bai family, because it was such a big birthday party, and if she disappeared, the Bai family would be the first to take responsibility.
Qiao Qiao had already closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "It's okay, press it well, and you will be rewarded after pressing it."
Shao Jingmo smiled: "I want to say that he is the least likely."
"Yes." Mr. Qiao said, "The dress is really not ordered for you, but for your cousin Xingruo. She will arrive tonight. I will ask Jingmo to pick her up."
As soon as Qiao Qiao came in, she turned into a chatterbox.
"This child is still devoted to you." Mr. Qiao sighed, with a melancholy look on his face: "When I asked him to marry you, I owed him a lot. Later, when I saw that your relationship was harmonious, the debt in my heart only increased instead of decreasing."
Mr. Qiao shook his head: "Your aunt won't come, only Xingruo will come."
Qiao Qiao wasn't too curious about whose dress it was. She put down the scissors and waved to the people over there: "Come here."
Shao Jingmo's palm rested on her lower back.
The doctor asked the family members to give more guidance to the old man, and this task fell to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao never paid much attention to this matter because of what Shao Jingmo said that day.
Mother Qiao sighed: "Then what can be done? Until this matter is resolved, the Bai family will always be haunted."
Mr. Qiao said earnestly: "After his parents passed away, I didn't see him shed a single tear at the funeral. This child can endure it, so he can achieve great things. He just can endure it."
The boy who turned around with Qiao Huasheng was also there.
Why did grandpa take her to Bai's house?
Qiao Qiao said: "You go out first, I will accompany grandpa."
Qiao Qiao was silent.
Qiao Qiao burst into tears and smiled: "I originally wanted to make you happy, but it's better to be more serious."
Qiao Qiao stood on the steps and looked in that direction, looking at the car expectantly.
Outside Mr. Qiao's living room.
Mr. Qiao took a sip of tea while holding the teapot, and said with a smile: "I haven't said this is the dress I ordered for you."
But tonight, for the first time, Mr. Qiao asked many questions about Qiao Qiao's affairs in the company.
Many symptoms are related to mood.
Mr. Qiao laughed heartily.
Qiao Qiao hesitated: "But uncle said..."
She came out of the living room, her face a little heavy, and her mind was full of what she had just talked with her grandfather.
At that time, Shao Jingmo, who had just lost his parents, was taciturn and had no expression on his face.
Qiao Qiao came back to her senses: "Huh? What happened to grandpa?"
After saying that, she put the water glass back and brought the fruit plate over.
Qiao Qiao asked: "Will aunt come?"
After careful inspection, the two people who were about to deliver the dress left. Qiao Qiao came over with two big boxes and placed the boxes in front of Mr. Qiao: "Grandpa, I have seen it. I like the design and style of the dress."
Like it."
She replied without thinking: "How can your personality change at will? It's not something you're born with. Besides, it's enough to have one mature and stable person in the family. If you have one more person, you'll be in trouble."
Qiao Qiao was very casual in front of Mr. Qiao. She stepped forward, rested her elbows on the bed, and said with a smile: "Although my surname is Qiao, I can also ask for leave. Who stipulates that company employees cannot ask for leave."
When Mr. Qiao recovered a little, he looked up and saw Qiao Qiao with red eyes, looking like she was about to cry. Mr. Qiao sighed helplessly: "It's just a little bit of success. I'm almost scared to cry. It's okay. Grandpa is used to it."
.”
The car door opens.
Shao Jingmo got out of the car first. Qiao Qiao raised the corners of her lips when she saw him, but the next second, the smile on her lips suddenly froze.
I saw Shao Jingmo reaching into the car, and a delicate jade hand stretched out and placed it in his palm.
Afterwards, Lin Xingruo slowly got out of the car.
