Fan 2 'Threads Into Thoroughness' - Deep Love: Come to You in the Rain
Chapter 484
In the taxi, there were still wet tears on Qiao Si's face, but her expression was calm.
She looked out the window and saw the prosperity of New York City gradually moving backwards.
Fortunately, the rain I had just fallen on had dried up and my dress was only slightly wrinkled.
Wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks, she took out her small bag and touched up her makeup.
The foreign driver kept looking at Qiao Si. He always felt that Qiao Si was a famous person and was very familiar to her, but he couldn't name Qiao Si.
The car finally stopped in front of the hotel. When getting out of the car, perhaps because he saw Qiao Si's fragile appearance, the taxi driver kindly held up the umbrella for Qiao Si.
Qiao Si smiled at the taxi driver. The hotel waiter had already come over with an umbrella.
Following the hotel waiter came a swarm of reporters.
The taxi driver was stunned when he saw this scene.
The hotel waiter said respectfully, "Ms. Qiao, thank you for coming."
Qiao Si still smiled slightly, generous, elegant, and beautiful.
The reporters have been searching around Qiao Si, but they haven't found the handsome figure they expected. Some of the reporters began to ask, "Miss Qiao, isn't Mr. Qiao here?"
"We have received news that Mr. Qiao will accompany you, Miss Qiao, to attend this charity banquet tonight."
"Yes, Miss Qiao, why don't you see Mr. Qiao?"
Questions came one after another, making Qiaosi a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the hotel's security was good, and they immediately blocked the reporter's attack and cleared a way for her.
The hotel waiter said respectfully, "Ms. Qiao, please."
"Thanks."
Escorted by the hotel's bodyguards, Qiao Si entered the hotel smoothly.
However, the reporters did not let go and followed her in the hotel lobby. The only question they asked was why Qiao Che did not show up.
Finally, Qiao Si stopped and let all the spotlights and flashlights focus on her body. She said with a charming and elegant attitude of a little woman, "Che was originally going to attend this charity banquet with me, but he
I can't come because I have something to do, but I have been told to contribute to charity on his behalf tonight...Thank you for your concern."
"Then when will Miss Qiao and Mr. Qiao get married?"
"Do you plan to have children after you get married?"
Upon hearing the reporter's question, Qiao Si just laughed and did not answer any more.
The hotel's security personnel escorted her into the elevator, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she finally got rid of the reporters.
The hotel waiter apologized, "I learned that we invited you and Mr. Qiao. These reporters have been squatting in front of the hotel for a long time. We have tried our best to prevent you and Mr. Qiao from causing trouble, but these reporters still don't give up... It's really
I’m disturbing you, Miss Qiao.”
Joss smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, these reporters only care about me and Che."
The elevator door opened at this moment, and the waiter led Qiao Si to the charity banquet.
Wearing a black floor-length gown, Qiao Si was noble and elegant, and with her beautiful face, she quickly became the focus of the audience.
Some unknown guests began to walk up to her and greet her.
Joss didn't know these people at all, and was confused as to why they were greeting her, until she heard someone among the guests discussing -
Don’t you know who she is? She is the girlfriend of Qiao Che, the president of “qcs”.
No wonder she looks so familiar...she doesn't look as beautiful as she does on TV.
Are you jealous...
hehe……
It turned out that these people who greeted her inexplicably were all here for Qiao Che.
The host who organized this charity banquet came over and said kindly, "Ms. Qiao, thank you very much for coming."
"It's an honor to be able to contribute to charity."
"There is a quiet place over there. If Miss Qiao is afraid of the excitement, you can sit there for a while and have something to eat."
"OK, thanks."
The host led Qiao Si to a corner of the banquet and sat down.
This was the quietest place for the banquet, and Joss noticed that several famous New York officials were sitting here.
Obviously, the master treated José very favorably.

This charity banquet was simply a donation for children in slums in Africa. When Joss heard that it was a donation for children, she agreed to attend the banquet without hesitation. Since it was just a donation, the banquet would not be too long.
But sitting here alone without socializing all night is indeed a bit boring.
Taking a glass of wine, Qiao Si took a sip.
It's obviously a cocktail, but it tastes bitter when you drink it.
Not wanting to take a second sip, Qiao Si put the wine glass down and looked around boredly. Only then did she notice that everyone attending the banquet tonight was in pairs.
Most of the guests came with their companions. Some of them were socializing among the guests with ease, and some of them sat together lovingly and biting their ears. She looked at these people, her vision gradually became blurry, and she couldn't help but flashing through her mind not long ago.
There was a scene of her and him sitting on the sofa lovingly watching TV.
Her nose was a little sore. Fortunately, the precautions she had taken over the past year had allowed her to conceal her emotions at the moment.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion among the guests.
Qiao Si came back to her senses and instinctively looked towards the door of the commotion banquet hall.
Li Chengyao's eyes passed through the crowd and met her impartially.
Yes, the person who came was actually Li Chengyao. No wonder it caused a commotion among the guests.
Their eyes met for a second. Li Chengyao apologized to the political and business celebrities who greeted her, then walked through the crowd and walked towards her.
Qiao Si stood up with a smile and her eyes fell on the female companion next to Li Chengyao. She was a young and beautiful girl in a light blue tube top dress, skin as white as snow, and a beautiful face.
"Sisi." Li Chengyao greeted Qiao Si generously.
Qiao Si responded generously, "Hi, Cheng Yao."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Chengyao looked at her with particularly deep eyes in the dim light.
"Yeah, I almost forgot, you are in New York."
"New York is such a big place, it's a coincidence that we met here."
"I didn't expect you to show up here." You know, for people with the status of Qiao Che and Li Chengyao, attending such a charity occasion is indeed a bit degrading.
Li Chengyao smiled and looked at the people around him, "This little girl said that this banquet was organized by her classmate's mother and she insisted that I accompany her to attend."
The little girl holding Li Chengyao on her arm coquettishly murmured, "Uncle, she is no longer a girl. Don't call me little girl in the future. I am your female companion today."
Li Chengyao smiled and shook his head, with a look of love for the little girl in his eyes.
Qiao Si looked at Li Chengyao in surprise, "Uncle?"
Li Chengyao nodded, "I almost forgot to introduce you to Li Xing'er, my eldest brother's daughter."
Qiao Si was a little embarrassed, "You have a big brother?" Realizing that something was wrong with her words, Qiao Si quickly added, "I mean, you have never mentioned to me that you have a big brother before, so I...
"
Li Chengyao took over with a smile, "Xing'er is the daughter that my eldest brother adopted in an orphanage many years ago. Unfortunately, my eldest brother passed away accidentally due to a car accident ten years ago... After that, Xing'er was taken care of by me. She has been studying in the UK.
I just recently graduated and returned to New York.”
"Oh...Hello, Xing'er."
"Hello, sister Sisi, you are so beautiful."
"Thanks."
"Uncle, my classmate is over there. I want to say hello to my classmate..."
"Go for it!"
After politely nodding to Qiao Si, Li Xing'er walked towards her classmates excitedly.
Li Xing'er's youthful appearance made Qiao Si slightly distracted and touched.
Li Chengyao noticed Qiao Si's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Si shook her head and said with a faint smile, "When I see your niece, I think of when I was in my twenties... It was so good when I was young and I didn't have any worries."
Li Chengyao smiled softly, "In my opinion, you are just a little girl." Gentleman Li Chengyao pulled out a chair for Qiao Si and motioned for them to sit down and chat.
"Thanks."
Sitting down, Qiao Si said in embarrassment, "I'm no longer a little girl."
Li Chengyao still smiled lightly, took the glass of wine from the waiter, and said in a warm voice, "Are you still used to living in New York?"
"Well... New York is noisier than Paris, but I like the prosperity here, but occasionally I miss Paris. After all, that's where I grew up."
Li Chengyao took the wine glass and touched it lightly with Qiao Si.
After each took a sip of wine, Li Chengyao asked again, "Why don't you see Qiao Che?"
Qiao Si pouted, "Don't mention him, it's really too much... He clearly promised me last night that he would accompany me to attend the banquet tonight, but just now he told me that he had official business to deal with, leaving me alone tonight.
Come on, I’m so annoyed by those reporters’ questions…”
Li Chengyao looked deeply at Qiao Si. From her words, he could tell that she and he were very affectionate.
Qiao Si angrily said, "Tell me...you men can never do what you promise to a woman. Every time you say you have business to do, you ask him to go shopping with me and you don't have time. Ask him to take me and Rachel there."
I don’t have time to play. I really don’t know who is more important in his eyes, me or the company..."
Li Chengyao didn't refute anything for their man, he just gave a long laugh.
Joss complained, "Why are you laughing?"
Li Chengyao said, "Because I see you are living a happy life now."
Qiao Si looked embarrassed, "How could..."
Li Chengyao stared deeply at Qiao Si's slightly red face, "You may not know that the way you spoke just now really sounded like a wife complaining about her husband... but it was very warm to watch."
"Okay, I admit that I am living a good life now, and I can't ask someone to stay with me 24 hours a day. After all, he also has to make money to support me!"
"Oh--"
"When do you plan to get married? I asked Qiao Che a few days ago, and he said that you haven't nodded to marry him yet."
Qiao Si raised her head and said proudly, "He has made me suffer so much in the past, how can I marry him so cheaply? Hmph... wait until he proposes to me a hundred times."
Li Chengyao laughed, "I agree..."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
At this time, Li Xing'er came over with several classmates, "Uncle..."
The chat between Li Chengyao and Qiao Si was interrupted.
Li Xing'er coquettishly hugged Li Chengyao, "My classmates said she admires you so much, can they take a photo with you..."
Li Chengyao looked embarrassed.
Li Xing'er bit Li Chengyao's arm and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay..." Then she whispered in Li Chengyao's ear, "I have already promised to my classmate."
Li Chengyao glanced at Qiao Si apologetically, "Uh..."
Qiao Si hurriedly said, "Go quickly, don't let Xing'er lose face."
Li Chengyao nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll go over there... I really can't do anything to her."
"Um."
Seeing Li Xing'er and Li Chengyao acting coquettishly, this scene reminded Qiao Si of the past between her and Qiao Che. She smiled, but her bright eyes gradually dimmed.
…
It was raining heavily, and Qiao Si stood outside the hotel door, looking at the thick rain curtain in a daze.
The guests left one after another, and the host of the banquet came over personally and asked, "Miss Qiao, don't you have a car? If you don't have a car, I will take you back."
Qiao Si shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry about me... Che should come back to pick me up. If Che doesn't come to pick me up, his driver will come to pick me up. I'll just wait for a while."
"Well... I still want to thank Miss Qiao and Mr. Qiao for their generous donation tonight. On behalf of the children in Africa, I would like to thank you for tonight's support."
"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
Watching Qiao Si and the organizer of the Harper's Bazaar charity banquet smile from a distance, Li Chengyao also smiled slightly.
…
Li Xing'er sat next to Li Chengyao. Seeing Li Chengyao staring at Qiao Si, Li Xing'er couldn't help but said, "Uncle, Sister Si Si wanted to chat with you, but you made an excuse and said you had something to leave first. Why are you here now?"
Where are you waiting for Sister Sisi here?"
Li Chengyao did not answer, but looked straight at Qiao Si through the blurry rain curtain.
The car's wipers are sounding, but the whole world is quiet.
"Uncle, are you still unable to let go of Sister Sisi?"
Li Chengyao still didn't respond.
Li Xing'er said again, "Otherwise, let's send Sister Sisi home..."
Li Chengyao finally said, "No, her fiancé will come to pick her up."
Li Xing'er sighed, "Now I finally understand what love is. It turns out that love can also make you happy by watching others be happy..."
At this moment, Li Chengyao told the driver, "Drive."
The car gradually drove away in the rain.
…
While talking to the host who organized the banquet, Qiao Si kept feeling a deep gaze looking at her from the roadside. But when she finished talking to the host and looked towards the roadside, she only saw a distant person.
The blurry shadow of the passing car.
Because the rain was so heavy, she didn't see the people in the car clearly.
Looking away, she couldn't help but think of Li Chengyao.
I didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly tonight. Fortunately, he was not alone, and there was someone by his side.
This made her, who had always been ashamed of him deep down, somewhat relieved.
She lied to him tonight about her relationship with Qiao Che, not because she cared about her own face, but because she didn't want him to worry about her.
She and Qiao Che, whether they love each other or not, are destined to be entangled for the rest of their lives, and since he has completely stayed away from her, let him find his own happiness!
A taxi stopped in front of her at this moment of her meditation.
The driver asked her if she wanted to get on the bus.
Qiao Si hesitated, took out her mobile phone from her handbag and took a look at it.
There was not a single call from him on the phone.
I feel very lost inside, full of sadness and helplessness.
Qiao Si bent down to get into the car, when a horn sounded from behind her.
She was startled and turned to look behind her.
First I saw his car, and then I saw him standing tall and straight as he stepped out of the car, ignoring the rain.
She was stunned.
He walked up to her, his handsome face wet from the rain.
