Chapter 557 Farewell, never seeing each other again
Bai Chen sneered: "You call this sincerity?"
Qiao Qiao looked at him expressionlessly: "If you understand someone, don't say stupid things. It's boring."
The confident expression on Bai Chen's face disappeared instantly: "I said Miss Qiao, you are frustrating me so much. I thought you were impressed by my sincerity and persistence in sending flowers, so you invited me to your home.
Have dinner.”
"I thought you already knew it when you came here," Qiao Qiao said.
"If I were really clear about it, I just came here empty-handed with all the instructions. How could I have started worrying about what clothes to wear tonight and what things to bring as soon as we finished the phone call? After all, your parents are the first
An impression is important."
The more Qiao Qiao listened, the more outrageous she felt. She angrily reminded him: "Bai Chen, I'm inviting you to dinner. This isn't the first time I've brought you back to my house to meet my parents. Please understand."
Bai Chen chuckled and touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue: "You said this, I don't think so."
Qiao Qiao: "..."
After leading Bai Chen in, Mother Qiao was the first to greet him.
Mother Qiao had never seen Bai Chen before, so of course she didn't recognize him. She took a quick look at Bai Chen from head to toe, and commented in her heart: He has a handsome appearance, looks talented, and is a very handsome young man.
Bai Chen: "I'm too preoccupied and my blood pressure won't come down easily."
Bai Chen turned around and looked over.
Everyone was eating. No one paid attention at first, but the servant's voice came: "Third Master, everyone is eating over there."
You must pass by the gramophone when you go downstairs, and Shao Jingmo just couldn't avoid her when he came down.
Bai Chen leaned forward slightly and greeted politely: "Grandpa Qiao, how are you doing lately?"
Qiao Qiao has already sat down: "Worship? It turns out that people like you who think highly of yourself can also worship others."
To use Qiao Qiao's description of him: "It's really good for you to get this name. Bai Chen, no matter what, you can do so much."
If Qiao Qiao and Bai Chen really knew each other in college, Mother Qiao wouldn't know about it now, especially since Bai Chen is from the Bai family.
The guilty conscience is too obvious.
Bai Chen was intimidated by Qiao Qiao's momentum and said in a weak voice: "Your uncle won't let you have contact with me, but you let me in today, and he just came back. Isn't that enough to make you feel guilty?"
"Say," Bai Chen sighed, raised his face and looked at the sky: "Say it all."
Bai Chen didn't expect that Qiao Qiao would speak for him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose up, a little proud and showy.
Bai Chen's smile froze.
Bai Chen was leaning against the railing of the stairs waiting for Qiao Qiao. When he saw her coming down, he looked up at her. As the distance between the two got closer and closer, until there was only one step left, he joked: "Your little uncle."
He doesn't seem to be in a good mood, have you made him angry again?"
Qiao Qiao twitched her lips: "Ma liu gun."
Noticing that Bai Chen was carrying fruits and milk, the expression on Qiao's mother's face became subtle: "It's good to come, why are you carrying so many things?"
The car stopped not far away. Bai Chen opened the door. When he bent down to get in the car, Qiao Qiao suddenly called him: "Hello."
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were both very uncomfortable.
She stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated. When she saw a servant passing by, she asked the servant Shao Jingmo if he had come out. Then she learned from the servant that Shao Jingmo was still in her grandfather's room.
Bai Chen patted Qiao Qiao's shoulder with some force: "Then I will definitely not be a friend."
Bai Chen didn't feel nervous and sat down on the sofa casually: "As soon as my aunt heard that I was from the Bai family, she almost kicked me out immediately. It's really hard for me to relax. If I'm too restrained, don't mind, aunt."
However, since it was Yue who invited him to the house as a guest, Mother Qiao naturally did not give him an ugly look and showed an understanding smile, but her tone was much more alienated than before. She casually pointed to the sofa: "Sit down.
Don't be restrained."
Bai Chen did not shy away from his surname and admitted frankly: "Yes, my surname is Bai and my name is Bai Chen."
But Qiao Qiao's pace was fast, and he had to keep up, which made him feel even more unhappy: "Qiao Qiao, are you feeling guilty?"
Mother Qiao's face turned cold: "Xingzhou Bai family?"
She remained calm and replied quietly: "He is busy."
Qiao Qiao didn't answer.
Bai Chen joked: "Aren't you afraid that I am fishing and telling you false news on purpose?"
The night wind carried frost and dew, making it a bit cold. Qiao Qiao closed the collar of her sweater and retracted her chin into the collar: "How will the matter between the Bai family and the Qiao family be resolved?"
Mr. Qiao was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Bai Chen and asked with a sweet smile: "You brat, you see that I'm worried too much, so you might as well take another look and see what's on my mind?"
Bai Chen: "..."
Qiao Qiao said nothing more.
Bai Chen took half a step back to her side, raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Then are we friends now?"
…
Qiao Qiao was quite curious, but she knew that curiosity was useless. She had no way of knowing what they didn't want him to know. Even if they went in, the things or topics they should talk about would be terminated because of her presence.
As soon as they arrived downstairs, they noticed Bai Chen sitting opposite Mother Qiao. Mr. Qiao was the first to recognize him and shouted: "Are you...Bai Chen?"
She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"What time is the meal?" Mr. Qiao asked.
At this time, Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks and said loudly: "Uncle, Bai Chen is my guest. I hope you can respect my guest."
Shao Jingmo pushed Mr. Qiao back to his room and closed the door to prevent the third person from entering. Obviously, he had something to discuss.
Bai Chen can pick up any topic and chat about anything without feeling uncomfortable at all, and he won't let the atmosphere get cold.
Bai Chen asked: "Auntie, do you want to hear the truth?"
The only one who was not affected and still enjoyed the food was Bai Chen.
My hair goes crazy when I say it.
"It's time to eat!"
Bai Chen waved his hand: "Let's go."
Chatted for a long time.
Bai Chen is a quick talker.
Shao Jingmo walked towards this side. He didn't need to go around. When he came over, he happened to stand behind Qiao Qiao. His eyes fell on Mr. Qiao first and he replied warmly: "I have eaten."
Everyone came over and took their seats one after another.
Bai Chen noticed Qiao Qiao's change, and an unknown smile flashed in his eyes.
Bai Chen nodded: "Yes."
Bai Chen answered her words: "Just take it as your compliment."
As soon as he said it, it hit Qiao Qiao's life.
Qiao Qiao asked: "Bai Chen, have we met before?"
"Have you seen it?" Bai Chen smiled wildly: "My memory is not very good, maybe not."
Bai Chen: "..."
Shao Jingmo: "Not sure."
Qiao Qiao put her hands in her coat pockets, looked at him, pursed her lips for a moment, and said two words: "Thank you."
"Okay, who doesn't know how to say nice things?" Mother Qiao asked seriously: "How did you meet our brother-in-law?"
Bai Chen sat next to Qiao Qiao. The first thing he asked after sitting down was: "Qiao Qiao, where is your uncle? Why don't you wait for him?"
Qiao Ruzhang looked at Bai Chen calmly from the side.
Bai Chen was very polite: "Auntie, it's my first time here and I don't know what to buy, so I just bought something casually."
"This guy said in front of me that he and Yueyong have known each other since college. He also said in front of you that we have known each other for a long time. I see that he didn't tell the truth." Mother Qiao came over from behind and said.
After meal.
Mother Qiao: "The young man is very down-to-earth, and the things he gave me were surprising."
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Qiao kept her distance and kept up with him: "Can you finish moving tonight?"
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, not exactly cheerful, but rather warm, mainly because sitting there was a talkative member of the Bai family - Bai Chen.
"That's fine." Mr. Qiao nodded.
She has not told her grandfather and parents about her divorce from Shao Jingmo and her expulsion of Shao Jingmo from the Qiao family, and naturally she will not mention it to an outsider like Bai Chen.
Although Mother Qiao really hopes that the person in front of her happens to be named Bai, she obviously just hopes that the person in front of her is a member of the Bai family.
Bai Chen put down his chopsticks and put on what can be called a 'bright' smile: "Mr. Shao, we meet again, but this time I am shamelessly visiting your home."
Mother Qiao glanced sideways at Bai Chen, said nothing, turned around and entered the kitchen.
After saying that, Mr. Qiao looked at Bai Chen and asked, "Bai Chen, are you drinking?"
Qiao Qiao said harshly: "Inviting you to be a guest is my right to make my own decision. What does it have to do with him? If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. It's ugly."
Shao Jingmo said nothing, his eyes fell on Qiao Qiao's back. Bai Chen, who was sitting next to him, took the opportunity to say hello: "Hi, Mr. Shao."
Bai Chen chuckled: "There's a second time?"
Mother Qiao also said: "Jingmo, why don't you sit down and eat some more."
When she saw him coming over, she felt a surge of depression in her heart, and her face became a little ugly: "Didn't you promise me that you would move out of Qiao's house tonight?"
Bai Chen stood up and nodded: "Grandpa Qiao."
Bai Chen restrained himself a little, making himself look less casual: "There is a saying that goes well, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and time can see the people's hearts. When I come more often in the future, I believe my aunt will gradually understand me.
After all, I am definitely a very down-to-earth person, so Auntie can rest assured."
Qiao Qiao glanced at him sideways: "Can't you keep your mouth shut even when you eat?"
Qiao Qiao looked sideways at Bai Chen, who had a playful smile, moved her lips, and said one word: "Yes."
Mr. Qiao stretched out his hand to signal: "It's already half past seven, why don't you sit down and eat some more? The food for tonight's table is all cooked by Yue himself. How can I get such a good meal in normal times?"
Mr. Qiao: "Except for the high blood pressure, everything else is relatively stable."
Qiao Qiao did not go upstairs to wait. She turned around and went to the retro gramophone. She played with the retro gramophone boredly and waited patiently.
Qiao Qiao crossed her arms and stood on the next step, looking down at Bai Chen: "So what if I make him angry? That's my business. Let's talk about you. You've eaten and played, should you go back?"
Are you home? Why don't you leave now and I'll take you to the door."
Qiao Qiao looked indifferent: "I can judge for myself."
Bai Chen smiled meaningfully: "Then I have to think carefully about what else Grandpa Qiao might have on his mind at this stage..."
The Hemler clock chimed nine o'clock.
Qiao Qiao's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened.
When Qiao Qiao came out, she saw her grandfather and Bai Chen chatting not far away, so she interrupted.
Bai Chen: "I usually drink, but I drove here today and I have to drive back later, so I won't drink."
Bai Chen chuckled: "Okay, don't tell me, lest you beat me up later. There is no one around now. For the sake of your meal tonight, you can ask me whatever you want.
Tell you everything I know.
Qiao Ruzhang was quite surprised: "When did you and Yueyong meet?"
Bai Chen: "It's been a long time."
Shao Jingmo passed by her: "The luggage has to be moved, so naturally I have to come back."
Qiao Qiao was also uncomfortable, but she tried her best to hide her discomfort, telling herself secretly in her heart that this was her own home, there was nothing uncomfortable, and Shao Jingmo was the outsider.
Shao Jingmo: "Five forty."
Qiao Qiao heard the footsteps coming downstairs. She raised her eyes and saw Shao Jingmo coming down.
But I can't say.
Mr. Qiao, who was sitting at the main seat, said, "Let's eat. The food will be cold later."
Therefore, Qiao Qiao, who was originally quite calm, immediately became furious because of Bai Chen's words: "Why am I guilty? What do I have to feel guilty about? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I feel guilty!!"
There is really no one in the front yard.
Mr. Qiao raised his voice and shouted: "Jingmo is back, come and have dinner, we just sat down not long ago."
Father Qiao and mother Qiao all looked in the direction of Shao Jingmo.
This is a good time to ask questions.
Everyone is inside.
"Are you complimenting me? Or are you teasing me?" Bai Chen raised his lips and smiled.
Shao Jing Mo stared at Bai Chen. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were obviously cold.
Upon hearing that it was the Bai family, Qiao Ruzhang's face changed slightly: "Why are the Bai family here?"
Qiao Qiao stood outside the door for a while, then turned around and silently went downstairs.
At this time, Qiao Ruzhang pushed Mr. Qiao downstairs to have dinner.
Qiao Ruzhang behind Mr. Qiao asked: "Dad, who is he?"
Mother Qiao agreed and put down the milk and fruit. After Qiao Qiao went to the kitchen, the smile on Mother Qiao's face suddenly disappeared. She turned to look at Bai Chen and asked with a look in her eyes: "My surname is Bai?"
Mr. Qiao smiled and said kindly, "Whether he knows you or not, since Yue invited him to be a guest at our Qiao family, then he is a guest at our Qiao family."
Mr. Qiao said: "I have met Bai Qingfeng's son, Bai Chen, a few times, but you and Xiaolin should have never seen him."
Halfway through the meal, Shao Jingmo came back.
Mr. Qiao hesitated several times, and finally said a few words and then stopped.
When he arrived outside the door, Bai Chen was a little unhappy.
This is unspeakable.
Mother Qiao made a gesture to get up, and Bai Chen quickly said: "When I was in college."
"I originally thought I could meet your little uncle tonight. I admire him very much." Bai Chen's words sounded a bit regretful.
Shao Jingmo's eyes moved to Bai Chen.
Shao Jingmo glanced at Bai Chen: "You are indeed shameless."
His aura was already strong, but he just sat there without saying a word or moving his chopsticks. The originally warm atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly condensed.
Qiao Qiao was annoyed: "Are you going to say it or not? It's very cold outside, okay!"
The only one that can be called "Xingzhou Bai Family" is the Xingzhou Bai Family that is opposed to the Qiao Family.
The servant came to add bowls and chopsticks. Although Shao Jingmo took a seat, he did not move his chopsticks and just sat quietly.
"I don't think you look restrained." Mother Qiao sat down on the sofa opposite Bai Chen and reminded, "It's better to be honest. I don't like the glib accent."
After watching Bai Chen's car leave, she turned around and went in.
At that time, Bai Chen had already walked over. He looked at Qiao Ruzhang, first called him uncle, and then explained the reason why he was here.
Before Bai Chen answered her, she specifically said: "I can clearly distinguish between true and false. Don't try to deceive me, but if you have to deceive me, don't even think about coming to my house to eat again in the future."
Bai Chen sneered: "Then you won't go back, are you reluctant to let me go?"
Qiao Qiao sent Bai Chen to the door. After watching Bai Chen step out of the door, he turned back and said, "It's cold outside, go in early."
Qiao Qiao laughed so hard next to her that she said, "Okay, mom, please put the things away. Bai Chen can also take care of them. There are still two dishes that haven't been fried. I'll go to the kitchen first."
Qiao Qiao had just taken off her apron and handed it to the servant. When she was about to sit down, she heard Bai Chen ask her this question.
Mother Qiao had an indifferent look on her face: "Boy, don't try to fool me just because you think I haven't seen you before. Do you think I will believe it?"
Qiao Qiao asked again: "What about the whole day tomorrow?"
Shao Jingmo paused, then turned to look at her: "Don't worry about me going back on my word, things will be moved away one after another. As for me, I will bore you for two more days at most, and after two days, you will never see me again.
"
Qiao Qiao's hands hanging by her sides suddenly clenched tightly.
