There were people from the same office in the elevator, and everyone looked at Pan Yingying who asked this question. Probably only a gossipy person like Pan Yingying would ask someone such an embarrassing question.
However, Qiao Xinwei didn't mind at all. Maybe because she had Jiang Hao and a stable and prosperous life, she had enough confidence. She smiled and said: "And my husband, there is no mortgage on the house, and the children have a living."
There is an education fund, there is nothing at home that I need to spend money on, he is all busy."
Upon hearing this, the colleagues were all envious, especially the female colleagues. Pan Yingying's eyes almost popped out of her head. She originally wanted to embarrass Qiao Xinwei, but unexpectedly it made her the limelight instead.
The elevator finally arrived downstairs, and Qiao Xinwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know when she started to say these words, she became confident, and she felt an inexplicable sense of stability and pride in her heart. For her, work has become an accessory, it is better to have it, and it won’t matter if she doesn’t have it.
In this way, she may not completely rely on Jiang Hao, but Jiang Hao will always be her solid backing and her pride.
After walking out of the gate of Shengshi Investment Group, Qiao Xinyi felt relaxed. Today was the most relaxed time she had felt since going to work. She felt like she was truly accepted and integrated. Looking back at this magnificent group building, under the sunset
Against the background, the building is spectacular and gorgeous, with the glass walls reflecting the golden afterglow, and the roof reaching straight into the sky, reaching the top.
However, the afterglow in Linzhou is purer and the sunset in Linzhou is more beautiful.
Two beeps from the car horn interrupted her thoughts. She followed the sound and saw Arnold and Xiaozhi waving to her under the car window. She was overjoyed. She had not found her after such a long time since she came back.
After passing them, they came to her first.
In fact, it's not that she doesn't want to find Arnold and Xiaozhi, it's just that she left so suddenly that she almost cut off contact with everyone, and she didn't find them in the three years she left. When she comes back this time, she doesn't know what she should do.
Face them.
Arnold was driving, and Xiaozhi sat side by side with her in the back seat. The car drove in stops and starts. The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward, except for the sound of the song being played on the car radio, there was nothing else.
Arnold drove into a small alley. There was a cafe at the bottom of the alley. The decoration outside was simple and unique, full of petty bourgeoisie.
As soon as the car drove in, the security guard at the door took away the parking sign from the parking space and diligently directed Arnold to back the car into the parking space.
"The service here is quite good." Qiao Xinwei said without saying anything.
Xiaozhi said: "That's right, this is their boss Liu."
Qiao Xinwei glanced at Arnold in surprise. Arnold finally realized his dream in college and opened his own cafe, not to cater to the public, but to enjoy himself.
After getting out of the car, Arnold took the initiative to hold Xiaozhi's arm and said, "Auntie, please take it easy."
Only then did Qiao Xinwei realize that Xiaozhi's abdomen was slightly bulging. Just now in the car, she felt that Xiaozhi was much rounder than before. It turned out that she was pregnant with Liujia.
Qiao Xinwei was still in a daze. Arnold turned around and said, "You didn't want to run away while we weren't paying attention, did you?"
It seemed that Arnold was still angry at her for leaving without saying goodbye and being disconnected for a long time. She hurriedly followed her, "No, I can't do it anymore."
When I opened the door of the cafe, a refreshing fragrance hit my nostrils. The first smell was like the fragrance of osmanthus, and the second time I smelled it, it was like the fragrance of lilac. It was very unique. The setting sun outside slanted into the alley, that is,
Within a few minutes, the setting sun shone into the door from directly in front, and the glass door fell with exquisite and unreal patterns, as beautiful as a painting.
The cafe is located in a noisy location, and the small alley in front filters and evolves the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, making it a unique place to find tranquility in the bustle. The style of the cafe is more Mediterranean style, which is Arnold's most popular
Like the style.
European-style large chandeliers, unique stone walls, and a grand piano by the window instantly enhance the style. Oil painting arrangements can be seen almost everywhere, with the words "Little Pavilion in the Wind" shining brightly under the afterglow, surrounded by flowers and
Surrounded by layers of neon lights, it is neither ostentatious nor vulgar, but instead exudes a tranquil temperament.
I have to mention that there is a place at the very back of the cafe that is very different in style from other places. There is a large bookshelf, which is full of novels of various types. This place alone makes book lovers feel relaxed and interesting.
.
Arnold took them to the position in front of the bookshelf. As the sun set, the doorway had calmed down, and the reflection on the glass door could just reflect the position in front of the bookshelf. This was specially arranged by the ingenious Arnold.
It is hard to imagine that such a hot-tempered woman in the past, a woman who could leave her hometown and abandon everything for love, and then go on to do a great career in the workplace, could now calm down and choose such a quiet corner to become even more splendid.
The ground blooms.
Tranquility has never been used to describe Arnold, but today, Qiao Xinwei saw a completely different Arnold from before. Today's Arnold reveals wisdom in his tranquility and indifference in his satisfaction. And this indifference,
It is what people living in bustling cities lack most.
"Sit down, you can try the latest coffee developed in my shop." Arnold looked at Qiao Xinwei and said.
"Well, okay."
"As for you, just drink milk obediently."
Xiaozhi wrinkled her face and tried her best, "I also want to try a new coffee. I can give you some advice. Arnold, it's okay if I drink a little coffee occasionally."
Arnold smiled and insisted: "Why don't you discuss it with your Zhang Yuan? If he agrees, then I will definitely agree too."
Xiaozhi flattened her mouth, like a greedy child who couldn't get her favorite food. She hummed and held her chin with both hands, looking unhappy.
Qiao Xinwei couldn't help laughing. Pregnant women need to be more considerate. When Arnold turned around, she leaned over and said, "Xiao Zhi, I'll give you a taste later, just a drop."
"...Okay Xinwei, are you even trying to trick me?!"
"Hahahaha, okay, are you kidding me? You need to pay special attention to your diet now. Coffee is not good for the baby. Just be patient for the sake of the baby."
Arnold talked to the guy at the bar and came over immediately. She said: "Qiao Xinwei, you only know how to talk about yourself, but others don't know about you. You just left like this with your child. You are really brave."
Damn, I really admire you."
Qiao Xinwei was speechless, "I'm sorry. I have my own difficulties too. I'm really sorry."
"You are sorry for us. It's okay to worry us by leaving without saying goodbye. You still haven't contacted us. Don't you treat us as friends? Common people like us are not worthy of being friends with this fairy like you, right?
"Arnold lost his temper, and he was still as fiery as before.
Qiao Xin was the only one who looked apologetic. If being scolded by Arnold could get their forgiveness, she would be willing to be scolded.
Xiaozhi persuaded and said: "Arnold, just say a few words. It's all over. Now Xinwei is back, isn't he?"
"Yeah, she didn't even want to contact us when she came back."
Qiao Xinwei felt even more sorry. After she came back, she was busy dealing with the relationship between the two of them, taking care of the children, busy with work, and busy adapting to the fast and irritable living environment here in the capital. For the two friends,
She is really sorry.
"What's the use of just saying I'm sorry? At least I got this meal." Arnold changed the topic, not only letting out his grievances, but he couldn't bear to blame Qiao Xinwei anymore.
Qiao Xinwei had mixed feelings in her heart, including guilt, emotion, and longing. All kinds of emotions came rushing in. She burst into tears and said, "Of course it's no problem."
Three years is neither long nor short. She has gone from an ordinary divorced and unemployed woman to an all-round working mother. A lot has happened to Arnold and Xiaozhi in the capital.
Arnold resigned from a high-paying job. She said she didn’t want to repeat mechanized work day after day, so she opened this cafe; Deng Xiaozhi and Zhang Yuan, after several separations and mergers, finally settled in the former
They got married soon. Now, Xiaozhi is four months pregnant, and her due date is early summer next year.
Speaking of Xiaozhi and Zhang Yuan's separation and reunion, it is also a wonderful and tragic love song.
"In the end, the old woman agreed to their marriage for the sake of her grandson. Alas, why are these mother-in-laws so old-fashioned?!" Arnold vividly described how Xiaozhi had an affair with Zhang Yuan's mother.
The experience of a battle of wits and courage is briefly described.
Qiao Xinwei: "Isn't it good in the past? Why do you think it will change when you get married? It's so hypocritical."
Xiaozhi: "She used to think that her son was just dating me, but then her son said he wanted to marry me, and she was no longer willing. She checked everyone in my family, and she felt that my family couldn't help her son.
, she felt that I would only be a drag on her son."
Arnold: "This is called being too narcissistic, that is, they are the only ones who regard their sons as the supreme pride of heaven."
Qiao Xinwei pursed her lips and smiled, "It's true. I also think my son is the smartest and cutest child in the world, hahahaha." She stepped forward and gently stroked Xiaozhi's belly and said, "Not long after.
, you will also feel this way, whether he is beautiful or ugly, you will feel this way."
Unknowingly, the setting sun has disappeared, the flashing neon lights have begun to play the music of the night, and the number of customers in the cafe has gradually increased.
"Ah, I forgot to tell Jiang Hao that I am with you." Qiao Xinwei hurriedly took out her mobile phone.
But Arnold smiled and said, "Okay, it was Jiang Hao who found me. This is a gathering of the three of us. Next time, I want to meet my smartest and cutest godson."
It turned out that it was Jiang Hao who arranged it. He knew that she missed her friends, and he also knew that she didn't know how to face her friends, so he went to Arnold privately and asked Arnold and Xiaozhi to come to her on their own initiative. Qiao Xinwei's
