A small apartment on Xietu Road. This is a house built in the 1980s. It cannot be said to be dilapidated, but the original pure white walls have become a little dark yellow, with the lime peeling off in several places, and a few hanging in the corners.
A medium to large spider web.
Chu Qiao has not returned to her home on Xietu Road for several months.
This is where she grew up, and this is where she and her parents have the most memories.
Chu Qiao rummaged through the small pocket of her bag, took out the key, inserted it into the door lock, and tried turning it several times, but it didn't turn.
Sure enough, Aunt Xue changed the door lock at home. Thinking about it, Chu Qiao looked at Meng Yanxi who was standing aside, with a wry smile on her lips. She stood on tiptoes and pressed the doorbell of the room.
"Who is it?" Aunt Xue's voice came from inside the door, as well as the sound of 'thump thump thump' footsteps.
The moment the door opened, Li Xiangxue saw Chu Qiao and Meng Yanxi standing in front of the door. Her eyes widened with obvious displeasure, and her tone of voice became mean and shabby: "Yo!
Which gust of wind blew you here? What? Do you regret what I did to you in the past, and now you have the ability to retaliate against me?" She said unintentionally, but was shocked by her own assumption.
The Meng Group is Asia's leading conglomerate with strong financial resources. Money can make all the difference. Who knows if Chu Qiao will hate herself so much that she will be itchy. Now she is seizing the opportunity to take revenge on herself!
However, she couldn't show fear in front of Chu Qiao. After all, she was Chu Qiao's stepmother. She raised her head and curled her lips: "I tell you, this is a society ruled by law. You can't do anything to me.
!”
Chu Qiao's apricot eyes were as clear as water, she bowed slightly and said to Aunt Xue: "Aunt Xue, I want to ask you something!"
I originally thought that Chu Qiao was here to settle accounts, but at first glance, it turned out that she was looking for help from me. Thinking about it, a look of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "You want me to do something?"
Li Xiangxue glanced at Meng Yanxi who was standing aside, and swallowed subconsciously. Darling, this is a big fat sheep. This girl Chu Qiao finally managed to seduce a rich man, and she is still such a rich man.
She felt that she was always at a disadvantage because she could not get any benefits. She opened the door wide and pretended to be calm: "Come in... let me see what you want me to do?"
Chu Qiao and Meng Yanxi walked into the room.
Chu Qiao's home is not big, about forty square meters. Chu Qiao has not been back to live here for several months. Although Xiaoya is very kind to her, she still likes her home.
Meng Yanxi remained silent, just standing beside Chu Qiao, his eyes always falling on the petite Chu Qiao. He also listened to Aunt Xue's words, but when he listened, his phoenix eyes could not help but sink, dark and complicated, as if
The two bottomless dry wells make people feel unfathomable.
"Chu Qiao, what's going on?"
Chu Qiao didn't like Aunt Xue. At first, she felt that it didn't matter whether she went to see her father or not. Because she would go to his father's place. She just had to go by herself... But when she heard her father murmur unconsciously, she felt that her father was still there.
I care about Aunt Xue very much.
Dad is getting more and more haggard day by day, and his life is now completely maintained by those expensive and slender imported instruments. She doesn't know how long his father can last, and she doesn't know when a kidney will be available for replacement? If dad really can't wait...
…
Thinking about it, Chu Qiao got straight to the point and said directly: "Aunt Xue, I want to ask you to go to the hospital to see dad."
Li Xiangxue chuckled softly, as if she had heard some funny joke, and said: "Look at your dad? What's so good about him? Is he so sick? What's the difference between watching and not watching? You'll still die in the end!"
"
Chu Qiao's heart stung, and her body was a little unstable. Fortunately, Meng Yanxi beside her held her arm, and her concerned eyes softly focused on Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao slowly closed her almond-shaped eyes, if her father
Will he be sad if he knows that Aunt Xue thinks this way?
Her father remarried, firstly to find her a new mother who could take care of the family. In addition, she could also see that her father really liked Aunt Xue. Therefore, when Aunt Xue bullied her, she would not
She said it. She didn't want her father to be embarrassed by her affairs because Aunt Xue was not good to her. However, Aunt Xue...
"Aunt Xue, I beg you. Go to the hospital to see dad... He is very weak now, but he still cares about you. He has always cared about you and wants to see you. Please, even if you really don't want to
When you meet dad, why don't you pretend a little and pretend to deceive dad?" Chu Qiao walked to Aunt Xue and spoke to Aunt Xue in an almost pleading tone.
"Huh... aren't you very cool?" Li Xiangxue's eyes turned cold: "You begged me? When you slapped me in the hospital, did you ever think about the consequences?" She said in a calm voice.
It's light, but there's a strong sour taste in the sound.
"I'm sorry..." Chu Qiao lowered her head and apologized.
These three words shocked Meng Yanxi who was standing aside. Chu Qiao was actually not as strong as she seemed. She shouldered too many responsibilities that she should not bear. He couldn't help but feel irritated and anxious.
Angry, he didn't want to hear her sad expression and low voice.
Meng Yanxi clenched her fists, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, but a smile appeared on her lips, and she said Wenrun: "What if I give you a favor? Are you still unwilling to agree?"
When Li Xiangxue heard the benefits, her eyes immediately flashed: "Really?"
Meng Yanxi put her finger on her temple, with a gentle smile on her face: "Is it true? It depends on whether you behave well or not?"
Li Xiangxue just thought about it and immediately replied: "Okay, okay! I do!" She turned around faster than turning the page in a book. It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, her face was full of smiles. That
Men, just go and see and get benefits, which is her real motivation!
"Yanxi!" Chu Qiao raised her head and her eyes fell on Meng Yanxi. Him, why him! Why did he help her? Why did he appear to her every time when she was desperate and needed help the most?
Where is Yan Chen? Where is Yan Chen? No... but she doesn't know anything...
?Aunt Xue got into Meng Yanxi’s Maybach and went to Renai Hospital together.
Once Aunt Xue heard that she performed well, she could get more money. Therefore, she was very attentive to Chu Qiao's father in the ward. When Chu Jingwu heard Li Xiangxue's voice, he woke up several times in a daze.
Every time I see her, a faint smile will remain on the corner of my mouth.
Two hours later, Meng Yanxi gave Aunt Xue a check and asked her to take a taxi home. Meng Yanxi sent Chu Qiao back to Meng's. She still had a piece of information on hand that needed to be handed in tomorrow, but because she had Qiao in the afternoon I have to go to work, so I can only go back to the company to continue working after get off work.
Although Meng's had already got off work, there were still three or two employees who saw Meng Yanxi and Chu Qiao together and couldn't help but whisper.
"Look! Look! It's Chu Qiao and Lawyer Meng!"
"They seem to match each other quite well. I'm really envious when I look at it..."
Everyone didn't know that Chu Qiao had rejected Meng Yanxi, but they thought they were still fighting fiercely.
"Yanxi, I will pay you back the money you gave Aunt Xue." Chu Qiao said firmly to Meng Yanxi beside her. Seeing the smile on the corner of her father's mouth today, her mood was slightly better.
"No need to pay it back!" There was a smile in Meng Yanxi's eyes: "When I need your help next time, just help me. I also have to go back to the Legal Department. I'm leaving first. Bye."
He didn't want her to repay anything, he did all this voluntarily. He liked her and didn't want to ask for any price.
If possible, she finds that she is not suitable for her brother. Then, he is willing to wait for her to look back and protect her.
"Well, I..." Chu Qiao wanted to say something more, but Meng Yanxi's figure shrank smaller and smaller, and disappeared from her eyes.
Chu Qiao's eyes dimmed and she returned to the office area of the Public Relations Department. Through the transparent glass barrier, Chu Qiao looked in and found that everyone in the office had already left. She smiled faintly and sat in front of her office.
Turn on the small desk lamp and computer.
"What kind of love is lurking in the future? There is a person who is holding a number plate. Who gave me the love that has not come yet..." Chu Qiao's cell phone rang, and blue light flashed on the screen.
Chu Qiao glanced at the name displayed on the screen, Meng Yanchen. It was him.
Her eyes dimmed, she picked up the phone and pressed the call button.
"Hello... Yanchen."
"Chu Qiao, did you call me today? I have been accompanying An Ran in the hospital for a check-up. Her condition is a bit bad. The phone is also out of battery. What's the matter?"
The voice on the phone was a bit noisy, and his voice sounded unclear and distant.
Chu Qiao's hands were trembling slightly. Anran, Xu Anran again? Her heart ached heavily, her eyes were a little moist, and she felt as if she had been greatly wronged. He may like herself, but does he feel that in his heart
And Xu Anran? Where was he when she needed him most? He was by Xu Anran's side...
"Chu Qiao...Chu Qiao." Meng Yanchen on the other end couldn't hear the answer and shouted.
"Oh!" Chu Qiao responded subconsciously: "Okay, I understand. I still have things to do, so I'll be busy first. I'll call you when I have time!"
"All right!"
"beep……"
The phone was hung up, but Chu Qiao's fingers were completely powerless to press the end button. The phone kept echoing the beeping busy tone. The sound was hollow and cold, echoing in the empty office, lonely and lonely, just like her
Her heart was the same. Tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes, and she began to feel uncertain in her heart.
Are they really suitable?
She originally thought that if two people like each other, they can be together. But now she is not sure...
