Qiao Qiao hung up her coat and came over, and saw a rose in Shao Jingmo's palm.
"Who gave it to me?" he asked, looking at her.
This tone sounded like a question to Qiao Qiao, but she did not lie in front of Shao Jingmo: "It was... sent by Bai Chen."
Shao Jingmo was not surprised when he heard the name: "He has been here."
Qiao Qiao nodded: "Well, he came once."
Afraid that Shao Jingmo would be angry and thought she was in contact with the Bai family, she explained clearly: "But I didn't let him in. I only said a few words to him through the door. The bodyguards you arranged can prove it."
Shao Jingmo walked up to her with a rose in hand and asked, "What did you talk about?"
Qiao Qiao tried to take the rose from his palm: "He just wanted to fool me while you were away. He also changed his surname to trick me into opening the door for him. I'm not stupid. How could I give him a surname just because he changed his surname?"
He opens the door."
Shao Jingmo raised his hand slightly to avoid her hand and prevent her from taking the rose away: "I didn't open the door for him and even accepted his rose. Do you know what this means?"
The smile on Qiao Qiao's mouth slowly disappeared: "Why are you so serious?"
Qiao Qiao kept silent in her mind for tens of seconds, expecting Shao Jingmo to come back in ten seconds.
When she woke up the next morning, she had heavy dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't washed her hair or wiped her face. She sat at the dining table and breathed frequently. Compared with Lin Xingruo, who was dressed very delicately, she looked like a village girl.
Qiao Qiao didn't chase her out, she just raised her hand and slammed the door and cursed: "You stinky bastard!! I still let you coax me when I lost my temper, but you, you don't even want to listen to one more word of my serious explanation, you are
Didn’t you think I had to be you..."
Pei Jingzhou put his mobile phone on the bedside table: "Obviously."
Lin Xingruo noticed Qiao Qiao's gaze and also looked at Shao Jingmo. Then his eyes moved back and forth between Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo twice. He suddenly smiled and shouted: "Little uncle."
Shao Jingmo focused on eating breakfast without looking at anyone. When Lin Xingruo called him, he just said "hmm" without raising his eyes.
But I soon found out.
She blocked his way and refused to go away: "As for Bai Chen sending me flowers, I can explain it in more detail and more clearly. I can just answer whatever you ask, including every sentence I talked to him.
I’ll tell you everything I said, isn’t that enough?”
When Lin Xingruo asked, both father and mother Qiao looked over, but Shao Jingmo did not look at her.
The call became quiet, and there was no sound from Qiao Qiao's side. Li Xiwu was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Qiao Qiao sniffed: "You can tell Mr. Pei."
Shao Jingmo didn't say a word.
Li Xiwu was no longer sleepy and wanted to sit up and chat, but as soon as she sat up, she was pulled down by Pei Jingzhou and lay in his arms.
Qiao Qiao started to cry sadly, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
"The Qiao family's affairs have not been resolved yet, so I don't have any opinions on the Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo matter for the time being. If I want to say how I think about it, I will wait until the Qiao family's affairs are over, and then everything will be settled."
Qiao Qiao: "Mr. Pei, this matter is more serious than domestic violence."
Li Xiwu knew about Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo being together.
Qiao Qiao's eyes quickly passed by and she lowered her head: "I feel uncomfortable and I don't have the energy to dress myself up."
After saying that, Shao Jingmo stood up and left.
But for people who are in love, the probability of effective persuasion is actually very small. Li Xiwu knows this very well, but she thinks that she is not a love brain.
Qiao Qiao felt a little aggrieved: "It was my mother who brought me milk. She said this rose is very beautiful. I happen to have no flowers in my room, so it looks good."
Li Xiwu, who was not used to staying up late, had already gone to bed. It was Pei Jingzhou who answered Qiao Qiao's call and only replied to her: "She is asleep. It is not a very important matter. We will talk about it tomorrow."
Only she can't know!
"Actually, I can pretend that I don't know about these things, just follow their arrangements, and walk every step of the road they have paved for me. But my relationship with Shao Jingmo, I always feel, is not as good as I thought."
Qiao Qiao: "Oh."
She held the phone tightly and was about to call out again when Qiao Qiao's voice came: "Baozi..."
Lin Xingruo couldn't deny it: "It seems so."
-
Qiao Qiao thought that when she came out, Shao Jingmo's car had already driven away and would not be waiting for her.
Lin Xingruo looked at Qiao Qiao walking away with a curious look on her face: "Are sister Qiao Qiao and my uncle at odds with each other? Why do both of them look so bad?"
Qiao Qiao didn't know what he was going to do.
Pei Jingzhou remained silent.
Qiao Qiao suddenly stood up.
Mother Qiao's expression changed: "Jingmo!"
Although I said a lot of words to enlighten Qiao Qiao tonight, only Qiao Qiao herself knows whether they are of any use.
It's already very late.
But that indifferent expression and attitude quietly explained everything.
Pei Jingzhou frowned: "Wait a moment."
It's like everyone in the Qiao family can know.
Li Xiwu pinched him lightly.
Li Xiwu has always been optimistic about Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo being together.
Those who have done something wrong can just give them some advice.
Li Xiwu turned to look at him: "Did you hear everything?"
"Qiao'er."
She once felt that no matter what happened to the Qiao family in the future, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo would continue to work together like this.
Pei Jingzhou lost all his patience: "Were you raped at home?"
Li Xiwu smiled softly: "Let's make a decision."
Li Xiwu shouted again: "Qiao'er, are you listening?"
She pointed to the rose in his palm: "The reason why I accepted his flowers was because he didn't open the door for him to come in. He stood outside the door for so long, and my heart was filled with kindness, so I accepted one."
Well, I won’t accept it anymore.”
Pei Jingzhou said: "Qiao Qiao's phone number."
Li Xiwu said: "I have never known Shao Jingmo. The only information I have about him is from your mouth, so I can't tell what kind of person he is, but you know best, don't you?"
After saying that, he pulled her to lie down.
Li Xiwu folded his coat: "What happened?"
Qiao Qiao responded: "Yes."
Mother Qiao looked at her lost daughter: "Yuyu, you don't have to go to the company."
She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, and pursed her lips in grievance: "It seems that I really have to be you, you stinky bastard..."
While spreading cranberry sauce on toast, Lin Xingruo asked Qiao Qiao: "Sister Qiao Qiao, you look so haggard today. Is it because you didn't sleep last night?"
"I haven't asked for leave from my direct boss, so I still have to go." Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly, turned to Qiao's mother and said, "Mom, I'm going to the company first."
Pei Jingzhou brought his coat and put it on Li Xiwu: "She is in a bad mood. She must have encountered something difficult."
In order not to disturb Li Xiwu's sleep, Pei Jingzhou went to the window to answer the phone call. He looked back at Li Xiwu, who was already sleeping soundly: "Say."
She saw with her own eyes that Shao Jingmo crushed the flowers into pieces, then turned and left.
Pei Jingzhou laughed in a low voice: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have woken you up."
Li Xiwu hummed: "Don't stay up late, go to bed early."
However, Shao Jingmo ignored him and he had already gone a long way.
The call ends.
Li Xiwu was not sleeping deeply, so she slowly opened her eyes when she heard Pei Jingzhou calling her.
Holding her numb legs, she moved step by step to the bedside, picked up her cell phone and made a call to Li Xiwu who was far away in the capital.
About a minute later, she heard Qiao Qiao sniffling: "I know what to do, so I'll hang up first."
It was so late, if it was someone else's call, he would just hang up.
Hearing what Pei Jingzhou said, Li Xiwu's heart became excited.
At this time, Shao Jingmo had already walked away and did not look back.
Pei Jingzhou leaned over the bed and looked at Li Xiwu's sleeping face, and really didn't want to wake her up.
These are Pei Jingzhou’s original words that he viewed rationally.
-
Qiao Qiao didn't sleep well all night.
Mother Qiao said: "Then you should take a leave today and not go to the company."
Qiao Qiao said in a serious voice: "Huh?"
Lin Xingruo said: "Sister Qiao Qiao seems to be unwell. She wants to take a day off. Uncle, you are in charge of the company. Can you grant sister Qiao Qiao a day off?"
This is not something she thinks blindly, this is a fact that Pei Jingzhou has admitted.
Qiao Qiao was in a daze until Shao Jingmo pulled her away. She stood aside in despair, watching him leave.
But who said he was Shao Jingmo? She was willing to lower her attitude in front of him: "Don't be angry, I promise you that I will never accept anything from Bai Chen in the future."
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?"
After saying that, he left.
Qiao Qiao: "It doesn't matter."
But in exchange, Shao Jingmo said: "Are you done?"
Lin Xingruo reminded: "Sister Qiao Qiao, you didn't even put on makeup, why did you just go to the company like this?"
Pei Jingzhou gently pushed aside the quilt, reached out to cover her eyes, blocked the light, and shouted softly: "Wife."
She said so much.
Qiao Qiao said nothing.
Although he didn't say anything, he just glanced at the vase, and Qiao Qiao knew that something was wrong.
She kept her posture so low in front of him.
The more she cursed, the softer Qiao Qiao's voice became.
Li Xiwu pinched his finger and poked it instead: "Talk to me."
But ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, two minutes passed, and Shao Jingmo still didn't come back. Qiao Qiao's legs were numb from squatting, and she almost fell down when she stood up.
The nasal sound is very strong, and you can tell that you have cried.
She stopped moving, rubbed her eyebrows against his chest, and found a comfortable position: "As for what you heard, you can barely express your opinion."
His hand covered the bedside lamp. It was not dazzling the moment he opened his eyes. When she got used to it a little, Pei Jingzhou took his hand away again: "Are you sleepy?"
He saw that the rose was about to fall from his hand, but the next second, when the rose was about to fall out of his palm, he suddenly pinched the flower.
Qiao Qiao didn't understand anything. Although her mind was not delicate, her intuition was always accurate. She always felt that Shao Jingmo was hiding something from her, and her parents and grandfather were also hiding something from her.
Qiao Qiao felt really wronged in her heart, but thinking about that day, she just saw him helping Lin Xingruo, and she became so angry that she ran away from home. Thinking about it this way, Shao Jingmo's anger seemed to be understandable.
Li Xiwu stared at the phone in a daze for a while, until Pei Jingzhou reached over and took the phone away: "It's time to sleep."
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Li Xiwu continued: "He treats you aloof and makes you worry about gains and losses. This alone is enough for you to face up to the fate of this relationship. Maybe this is difficult for you, because I know this is your first time.
I’m tempted, but I don’t want to, and I’m also afraid that I’ll fail in the end.”
Shao Jingmo put down the tableware and took a napkin to wipe his mouth: "When employees ask for leave, they should go to their immediate superiors, not me, just follow the procedures."
Li Xiwu took the phone and put it to his ear: "Qiao'er."
But when she heard that Qiao Qiao began to question her relationship with Shao Jingmo, she didn't know how to comfort Qiao Qiao for a while.
Qiao Qiao: "But my parents won't tell me."
Li Xiwu also listened carefully, and then analyzed it for Qiao Qiao: "He may be hiding something from you, which should be very important to your Qiao family. Your parents should know, but..."
Especially compared to Pei Jingzhou, Pei Jingzhou is more love-minded.
Pei Jingzhou took off her coat and said, "If you are not an upright official, you will never do housework."
Pei Jingzhou: "..."
But when she came out and saw the car still parked there, she didn't know how happy she was.
Li Xiwu had just been woken up from his sleep. He was indeed a little sleepy and his sleepy eyes were very loose: "What's wrong?"
Shao Jingmo said: "Get out of the way after saying this. I'm tired."
Qiao Qiao glanced at Shao Jingmo subconsciously.
She and Qiao Qiao have a good relationship, and Qiao Qiao will tell her almost everything that happens in Xingzhou.
Mother Qiao smiled lightly: "He is like this when he feels uncomfortable. As for Jing Mo, he has always been like this."
Shao Jingmo looked at the vase on the table.
"Shao Jingmo!" Qiao Qiao shouted at his back.
She trotted over and instead of getting into the car directly like before, she asked outside the car first: "Uncle, can I take this car?"
Qiao Qiao really didn't understand why he was so angry: "Are you so angry just because I accepted a rose from Bai Chen?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
Shao Jingmo's eyebrows looked tired: "Get out of the way."
Pei Jingzhou reminded: "The prerequisite is that you are not allowed to cry or affect her."
She hurriedly explained: "I didn't bring these flowers."
At this time, Mother Qiao also spoke: "Jingmo, she's not feeling well, why don't we let her rest at home for the day today."
She has never been like this before, convincing herself to give in before even half a minute.
Qiao Qiao poured out all the bitterness in her heart, and after she finished speaking, her mood became a little better.
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds until Shao Jingmo had already opened the door. She reacted and immediately chased after him. She held the door open to prevent him from leaving: "Why are you so angry? Didn't I explain everything?"
Li Xiwu moved towards him: "Then what do you think?"
Qiao Qiao was about to cry again: "Baozi, every word you say touches my heart."
Qiao Qiao: "You know."
Pei Jingzhou reached out and took the phone from the bedside table. The call page was still on, and Qiao Qiao was waiting for her.
"Qiao Qiao," Li Xiwu stood up, holding on to the bed: "Where is the cell phone?"
Even Lin Xingruo was a little surprised: "Isn't my little uncle in a bad mood?"
Pei Jingzhou returned to the bedside with his cell phone in hand. He put the cell phone on the bedside table and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. The warm yellow light shone on the sleeping Li Xiwu.
Qiao Qiao said: "I'll go to the cafe downstairs in the company to buy it."
During this time, I also heard Qiao Qiao share some interesting stories about her post-marriage love affair with Shao Jingmo.
Shao Jingmo was looking down at his phone. When he heard her question, he responded: "Yeah."
Qiao Qiao opened the car door, got in, and said to the driver, "Let's drive."
A few minutes later, the car drove out of the villa and drove smoothly on the wide avenue.
Qiao Qiao wanted to talk to Shao Jingmo, but every time she turned around and saw his cold and distant profile, she swallowed back all her words.
When she finally plucked up the courage to speak, Shao Jingmo put away his phone and suddenly said: "In three days, the grievances between your Qiao family and Bai family will be completely settled."
