Jiang Hao walked in front, and Qiao Xinwei was pulled by him to follow. His generous palms were as warm as ever. For a moment, she thought they were still together, and she thought they had never been separated.
"Let go." She said. Before Jiang Hao let go, her hand had already been taken away. "What are you doing? Do you feel bad if I hit her?"
Jiang Hao couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do I feel so sad?"
"Who knows."
Jiang Hao didn't answer, and both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became very awkward. After a long time, Jiang Hao said seriously: "I just feel sorry for the suffering I have made you suffer in the past few years. I'm sorry."
Qiao Xinwei took a deep breath and turned away, not wanting to look at him.
"I have known about your dad for a long time that it was related to Xiao Tianai, but there was no evidence at that time. Now, everything has come to light, and I can give an explanation to your dad."
"He has been gone for so many years. Apart from giving an explanation to our family, what does it mean to my dad? There is no way he can come back."
"Same? Where's mom? Why didn't you come?"
Qiao Xinwei raised her head and glanced at him, but quickly looked away, "I was afraid that she would be too excited, so I didn't let her come, and it would be the same if I came." After a pause, she corrected, "She is my mother.
, it’s not your mother, don’t call me so affectionately.”
Jiang Hao sighed and nodded helplessly.
At this time, all the doors of the passage were opened, and people from the court were walking this way. Qiao Xinwei wanted to leave, but was held back by Jiang Hao.
"Jiang Hao," Judge Zhu called him, looked at Qiao Xinwei again, smiled slightly, and said, "This must be Qiao Xinwei."
Jiang Hao: "Yes."
In addition to Judge Zhu, there are other people, judges, clerks, policemen, etc. Everyone who was in the court just now is here, and they all have to go out through this passage.
Judge Zhu asked: "You just came back today?"
Jiang Hao still replied: "Yes."
Judge Zhu stepped forward and said: "Today's big case was solved thanks to Jiang Hao. Please understand him better." Judge Zhu looked at Jiang Hao again and said, "Let's have a good chat, but don't forget that you will still be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
I have to appear in court to testify, and your testimony is key."
Jiang Hao nodded, "I understand."
Judge Zhu and his party left. Captain Shen stopped and patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder, encouraging him: "Come on." He also followed the large group.
Qiao Xinwei was quite speechless. Everyone here was on Jiang Hao's side, and everyone was speaking for Jiang Hao. She just wanted to say one thing - it doesn't hurt to stand and talk.
Go and taste what it is like to be betrayed and deceived by your partner, go and taste what it is like to be pregnant and give birth to a child, go and taste what it is like to be a person who has to go to work and take care of a child at the same time.
Facing Jiang Hao's fiery eyes, Qiao Xinwei was furious, but she knew this was a serious place and she had a sense of proportion.
"Don't say anything. Let's have dinner together at noon. I have something I want to talk to you about. Don't worry, it's not something particularly important to you. It won't delay your court testimony in the afternoon."
Jiang Hao felt flattered. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to say that she wanted to have dinner together. He couldn't restrain his inner joy and nodded with a smile, "Okay."
When I walked out of the building, I met Ji Shen and Ji Shanshan. They were supporting the two elders, but they were not their parents, but Ji Binbin's parents.
The two elders cried until their eyes were red and swollen. In the past three years, their days have been like years. They miss their daughter who died tragically every day, and they have been looking forward to the day when the murderer will be brought to justice.
Ji Shanshan had seen Qiao Xinwei a long time ago, but there were too many people just now, so it was difficult for her to go over and say hello to her.
"Qiao Xinwei, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still such a tough guy."
Qiao Xinwei didn't know whether she was praising herself or hurting herself, "It's not me, Xiao Tianai who should be beaten."
Ji Shanshan smiled and turned to look at Jiang Hao, "Chief Jiang, my dad has nothing but praise for you, and my brother also admires you very much. You are really amazing."
Jiang Hao just nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Ji Shanshan added: "Since Qiao Xinwei is back, let's come together on Saturday and join in the fun."
Jiang Hao said: "Let's see if she is willing."
Qiao Xinwei asked in confusion: "What?"
"I'm getting married on Saturday. The invitations have been sent out. You can come too."
Qiao Xinwei was a little uncomfortable. They were getting married and invited her enthusiastically. She couldn't directly refute their kindness, but she wouldn't go to the wedding banquet. She said, "Besides, I'll see if I have time on Saturday."
Ji Shanshan said sourly: "Hey, you are quite a big name, why can't I even invite you?"
Qiao Xinwei took a deep breath and said straightforwardly: "You are inviting Jiang Hao's family. His family does not include me. As far as I am concerned, you and I are not familiar with each other. We are neither relatives nor friends. So you are inviting me."
What are you doing? If I go, I have to pay you. I have no connection with you, so of course I have to think about whether it’s worth it."
"You...what do you mean, I invited you to drink my wedding wine and you still have so many questions?" Ji Shanshan was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She couldn't talk to her before, and it's the same now.
Ji Shen, who was on the side, understood the meaning and quickly came out to smooth things over and said: "Shanshan, don't force others to do anything. Chief Jiang, we are going to eat first. You can go ahead and do your work."
Ji Shanshan was dragged away by Ji Shen. Ji Shanshan still seemed unconvinced, but in public, she had no choice but to give up.
Jiang Hao joked easily: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become even more talkative. You can choke someone to death with just one sentence."
"Oh, it's a pity that I can't choke you to death."
"??"
"Let's go and find a place to eat. I'm hungry."
Jiang Hao quickly followed up. "Okay."
The two of them came to an ordinary restaurant near the court. Jiang Hao walked in wearing a military uniform. His handsome appearance was very eye-catching. The customers nearby looked at him, especially some girls, without turning their eyes.
Qiao Xinwei said rudely: "Thanks to you, I have become the center of attention. It feels really bad to be looked at like a monkey."
"??" Jiang Hao couldn't finish a word. Everything he was proud of, everything he had sacrificed his life for, seemed worthless in her eyes.
The landlady was a discerning person. When she saw that this person must have come from the court, she greeted him with a smile on her face and said, "Boss, there are private rooms on the second floor. Let's go up to the second floor."
The private room on the second floor is very unique. There is a large round table for ten people. There is not much space around it, but there are only two of them, which is enough and relatively quiet.
Jiang Hao ordered four dishes, all of which were her favorites. "Hurry up, we have something to do."
"Okay, the leader will have tea first, and the food will be served soon."
Jiang Hao poured tea for her and himself, without taking his eyes away from her, "You have lost weight."
Qiao Xinwei laughed at herself: "I'm not thin, I'm old and my flesh has shriveled up."
"Haha, if you are old, wouldn't I be older?"
"No one said you were young. If you take off this military uniform and put on blue overalls, you will be just like an ordinary migrant worker."
Jiang Hao was speechless and choked. After being stunned for two or three seconds, he turned to laugh and said, "Just provoke me and curse me together. Once you get rid of your anger, you will feel better."
Qiao Xinwei trembled her shoulders, with an indifferent expression on her face, "Why am I provoking you? I'm telling the truth. We haven't seen each other for several years, do you have to say that you haven't changed at all? Do you have to say that you haven't changed at all? You will be old when you are old.
Already."
At this time, the boss lady came over to serve the food in person, and she was so quick that she served it in just a few words.
"Boss, your dishes are ready. I specially asked the kitchen to cook them for you first. You can eat slowly."
"Okay, thank you."
"Hey, why are you being polite to me? Just treat this place as your own home and feel at home. If you need anything, just call me."
"good."
Qiao Xinwei looked quite angry. She looked at the look in the landlady's eyes, as if she wanted to eat Jiang Hao. As for what, have you never seen a soldier? Soldiers all look like this, nothing to make a fuss about.
Jiang Hao brought her some food, "If you're hungry, eat it while it's hot."
The only thing Qiao Xin was not polite at all was that she ate heartily without paying any attention to him.
Jiang Haoguang watched her eating and couldn't bear to miss a second. "When did you come back?" he asked.
"Jiang Hao, I want to move my household registration. Can you give me the household registration booklet?"
Jiang Hao was caught off guard. He was clearly eating well and the atmosphere was good. She suddenly said this. His face became stiff and he asked, "Where are you going to move to?"
Qiao Xinwei ignored his question and said to herself: "Are you free tomorrow? I can pick it up, or you can send it to me if you want. It's more convenient for you to drive.
"
Jiang Hao was silent and put down the chopsticks in his hands, but Qiao Xinwei still looked as if nothing had happened. She said: "I didn't know so much before. I should have moved after the divorce. My household registration is still with you like this."
It's been a long time. Thank you for keeping it. I don't think it's good to leave it there forever. People will have to come into your house in the future. I will take care of the household registration when I come back this time. This will save me the trouble of having to go to the capital again and trouble you again.
.”
She spoke impeccably, but he listened with uneasiness.
"Does it have to be like this?" He asked suppressedly, his deep voice sounding very helpless.
"There is nothing certain about this. This is what it should be. It is natural. It has been delayed for so many years and cannot be delayed any longer. Besides, the hukou is so important. It needs to be used for everything big or small. My hukou has always been with you.
, I can’t do anything.”
In fact, she was referring to her job and Zai Xi's household registration issue, but Jiang Hao thought it was something else. He didn't speak, and kept scratching his heart with a knife in his heart.
"Jiang Hao, you won't agree to this, right? Just use your household registration book. If you are worried, you can follow me. Haha, with you following me, the efficiency of the household registration office will be greatly improved.
of."
Jiang Hao raised his head, looked into her eyes, and asked: "You are so anxious to change your household registration, do you want to remarry?"
This question almost stopped Qiao Xinwei from breaking out. She almost burst into tears. She took a breath and said, "This has nothing to do with you." She really wanted to slap him to death!
