Meng Yanxi sat in the driver's seat, turning the steering wheel with one hand, and adjusting the air conditioning temperature in the car slightly higher with the other hand. Chu Qiao sat in the passenger seat, holding her shoulders with both hands.
His body was trembling unconsciously, and his almond-shaped eyes were gently flowing.
"Yanxi, can you drive faster?"
"okay!"
Meng Yanxi stepped on the accelerator and the car was speeding on the road. The night outside the window became a little deformed under the influence of speed and looked a bit unreal. If Chu Qiao was a normal person, she would definitely appreciate the scenery outside the window. But now
, but she had no intention or intention to look at it. She only thought about what Aunt Xue would do to her?
Richland Road.
"Yanxi, just turn left and you're there!" Chu Qiao pointed the way to Meng Yanxi.
Seeing some familiar streets, Meng Yanxi remembered that the last time she sent Chu Qiao back, she almost sent them here, and asked, "Is this near your home?"
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Qiao's lips: "No, no, this is just my friend's home!"
"What about your home? When you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you home..."
"I..." Chu Qiao paused and said calmly: "I have no home to go back to..." She really wanted to have a home with a father and a mother. But now, her father is still living in the hospital, and she
She can't go back to her previous house. She really has no home.
Meng Yanchen's pupils shrank, shock flashed across his eyes, and a smile froze at the corners of his lips.
He still remembered that on the stage, she smiled warmly and brightly, making everyone who looked at her feel warm in their hearts. The home she talked about made him long for home for the first time. He originally thought that she
She must have a warm and happy family to be able to say these words, but she didn't expect that she had no home to return to.
"I'm sorry...I didn't know..." Meng Yanxi stopped the car steadily on the side of the road, turned her head, and said sincerely to Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao shook her head: "It's okay."
Meng Yanxi's eyes darkened, and there was an indescribable pain in her heart. How could she pretend to be so nonchalant? Eight years ago, he could have studied law at the best university in the country, but because of that incident, he
He fled to the United States to study. He stayed away for eight years!
Chu Qiao pushed open the car door and walked out with all her strength. The night was very cold, and even after putting on Yan Xi's windbreaker, she was still a little cold. However, she had no energy to care about her own warmth now.
She held herself up and hurriedly walked towards the apartment where Xiaoya lived.
Meng Yanxi didn't say much, locked the car, and followed Chu Qiao closely into an ordinary apartment.
Standing at the door of Xiaoya's house, Chu Qiao subconsciously wanted to knock on the door with her right hand. Only when she stretched out her right hand did she find the gauze wrapped around her right hand, and quickly switched to her left hand.
"Dong dong..."
When Xiaoya heard the knock on the door, she jumped up from her chair and hurried over to open the door.
"Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao... you're finally here. I really don't know why this woman is so crazy. She insists that I call you. If I don't call, she won't leave!" Xiaoya lowered her voice, thinking for Chu
The door opened.
Chu Qiao shrank her injured hand into the sleeve of her windbreaker.
"Hey! What's going on? Why is the CEO here?" Xiaoya only saw Chu Qiao at first, but after Chu Qiao came in, she realized that Meng Yanchen was standing behind her.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yanxi's lips: "Hello..." Hearing her say this, he knew that she must have regarded him as her brother Meng Yanchen. Twin brothers have their benefits, naturally.
There are also disadvantages, such as being often misidentified.
Lu Xiaoya's eyes widened, as if she saw some big boss, her mouth opened in an O shape, she pulled Chu Qiao's sleeves, and whispered: "This, this is definitely not Meng Yanchen! It's Meng Yanchen,
How could you smile so gently?"
"He is not Meng Yanchen!" Chu Qiao replied lightly and walked into the room.
Sure enough, in the small space of the house, Aunt Xue was sitting on the sofa, smiling at Chu Qiao.
"Aunt Xue, what do you want from me?" Chu Qiao didn't want to talk to Aunt Xue, so she went straight to the point.
"Chu Qiao! Chu Qiao!" Li Xiangxue stood up from the sofa, with a smile on her face, and came to Chu Qiao: "I saw you on TV today, and I know you are very capable, Aunt Xue
I'm very happy for you. In fact, I think you should listen to your Aunt Xue earlier and use your pretty face to seduce rich people. Isn't this good?"
"Not only can you support our big family, but maybe you can also cure your father's disease?" Li Xiangxue didn't like Chu Qiao, but she definitely didn't like money. She thought that she could get something out of Chu Qiao.
After making a fortune like this, she is still her stepmother after all. She can be considered half of her mother!
"That's enough! Aunt Xue! Last time, I didn't ask you to argue with you about pulling out dad's tube. Now, I have the ability to cure dad's disease. No matter what happens to me, it has nothing to do with you! You can
Let's go!" At first, Chu Qiao was really stupid and naive, thinking that as long as her father and Aunt Xue lived happily together, she would be fine. Even if Aunt Xue was critical of her, she could not care. However, when her father became ill,
, her face changed immediately...
All her father's savings were in her hands, but she refused to spend even a penny to treat her father's illness.
Xiaoya and Meng Yanxi stood at the entrance, listening to the conversation between Chu Qiao and Aunt Xue.
Xiaoya's eyes were red for a long time. She was naturally very clear about Chu Qiao's situation. However, the more she understood, the more she felt pitiful for Chu Qiao. When Chu Qiao was very young, her mother was gone, and her uncle
One person is both a father and a mother. Since having Aunt Xue as her stepmother, Chu Qiao has suffered countless grievances. Aunt Xue left all the good things to her biological daughter Xiaoruo, but did not treat Chu Qiao well.
They are indifferent and sometimes even maliciously make things difficult for them.
Meng Yanxi stood aside in the shadows, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
Hearing Aunt Xue's words, he turned his head again and looked at the tears in the corners of Xiaoya's eyes. The tenderness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a coldness, and his hands slowly tightened. He suddenly understood that that night
On a rainy night, why did she say to him, "Can you... buy her?"
He simply couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for the stubborn girl to say such a sentence?
Now, there was a kind of regret surging in his heart. If, at that time, he had asked her why? Would she still suffer so much?
She always shows a faint smile, but what about her heart? Does she really want to smile?
If this stubborn woman had not heard these words today, he believed that she would never say them to him...
