The dress to be worn for Xi Mei Media’s anniversary celebration has been decided in advance.
But there was something wrong with the size, so I asked them to change it.
Go give it a try today.
After trying on the dress, Qiao Yuxian took a stroll around the street. When he returned to his old house, he was just in time for dinner.
Gu Linhai, his wife, Gu Yicheng, Ji Xiaoxiao, and several relatives were all there.
Qiao Zhiang sat obediently next to the old man, and everyone was waiting for them to come back.
The two of them went to wash their hands and sit down.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao.
The two people's eyes met across the table. Ji Xiaoxiao drooped the corners of her mouth in a very vague way and said nothing.
Qiao Yuxian didn't ask anything.
Everyone waited for the old man to use his chopsticks, and then they all used their chopsticks to eat.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while in the living room.
The old man has recovered well these past two days.
Gu Linhai and Meng Qian planned to return to Jin City for a few days.
The old man didn't keep them either.
He knew that nothing would happen to his body for a while, so they could go and be busy as they needed to, and they wouldn't need to stay here with him.
"Don't you find it annoying to face a bad old man like me all day long?" Mr. Gu snorted.
Meng Qian said: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"You didn't find it annoying when you took care of us two brothers. We have grown up, and it's not annoying for so many people to take care of you alone. We are still nothing anymore." Gu Linhai said.
Mr. Gu smiled.
Qiao Zhiang sat next to him, looked up at him and said, "Don't worry. I like grandpa."
"Grandpa also likes our Zhi'ang." The old man touched Qiao Zhi'ang's little face, "We usually come to play with grandpa more often."
"good."
The old man touched his little face again.
He thought to himself: I am so old, yet I actually like Qiao Huaisong’s grandson so much.
I still like it from the bottom of my heart.
If Qiao Huaisong were alive, I don't know what he would think.
We didn't sit in the living room for too long and everyone went back to their rooms.
Gu Yanjing accompanied the old man back to his room.
Qiao Yuxian took Qiao Zhiang back to the east courtyard and asked him to do his homework.
The two walked slowly and finally came out of the living room. When they went outside, they found Ji Xiaoxiao waiting for them.
Gu Yicheng stood on the corridor on the other side of the door, looking at her but not approaching.
Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Zhiang looked at them, and then Qiao Zhiang asked: "Sister Ji, will you come back to the east courtyard with us tonight?"
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled at him and then looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yicheng's livid and aggrieved expression, and then looked at Ji Xiaoxiao.
Before she could speak, Ji Xiaoxiao said: "My parents won't let me go home."
Qiao Yuxian was slightly startled.
"Originally I wanted to stay in a hotel." Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, "But he kept waiting for me at the entrance of the east courtyard. Later, his mother went to the east courtyard to look for me, so I..."
Later, another guest came to the old house, and she and Meng Qian went to receive the guest.
Qiao Yuxian didn't expect that she couldn't leave for such a reason.
What's going on if your parents don't let you go home?
"I" Ji Xiaoxiao is usually such an arrogant person, but suddenly there are times when it's hard for her to speak, "I don't want to go back to the North Campus for the time being."
"Let's go." Qiao Yuxian said, "We have been at the old house these days."
Ji Xiaoxiao moved her lips and finally whispered: "Thank you."
"Why are you like this?" Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "I'm already like this, and you still want to ask for money. You have no sympathy at all."
"Otherwise." Qiao Yuxian said, "Between us, money comes first, don't talk about feelings."
Ji Xiaoxiao snorted softly and was about to follow them to the east courtyard.
Gu Yicheng suddenly came over and stopped her: "Xiaoxiao. Let's talk."
"I don't want to talk." Ji Xiaoxiao refused directly, "Don't go looking for my parents again. It's useless."
"Xiaoxiao." Gu Yicheng stood in front of her and refused to let her go, "You have to listen to my explanation."
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
Qiao Zhiang looked up at them, his big eyes flickering.
When Qiao Yuxian saw that Gu Yicheng refused to step aside, she shook Qiao Zhiang's hand and said, "Go and call your brother-in-law."
"Okay." Qiao Zhiang responded and ran to the living room.
Qiao Yuxian didn't let go of his hand at all, and Gu Yicheng was so frightened that he took two steps back: "Zhi'ang, Zhi'ang. Don't go, don't go. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."
Qiao Zhiang stopped and looked at him.
Gu Yicheng stepped back to the side and cleared the way: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Qiao Yuxian smiled gently and said, "There is no harm in giving each other some space to be quiet."
"Yeah." Gu Yicheng said.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't even look at Gu Yicheng and walked straight ahead.
Gu Yicheng watched them go away. After a while, he kicked the railing on the side and rubbed his hair irritably before leaving the front yard.
Qiao Yuxian and Ji Xiaoxiao returned to the east courtyard and walked slowly on the road.
Ji Xiaoxiao said: "Your father and others came to see the old man this morning."
"Huh?" Qiao Yuxian looked at her, "My dad and my aunt?"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded: "Do you know your grandfather and the old man?"
Qiao Yuxian said nothing.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at her and didn't ask any questions.
If it were someone else's family, and they could establish a relationship with the Gu family, they would want to pester the Gu family and show off wherever they go.
But the Qiao family has never mentioned it, otherwise it would not have been an inconspicuous position in Kyoto for so many years.
The old man just mentioned it and didn't say much.
But Ji Xiaoxiao always felt that if it weren't for Qiao Yuxian marrying Gu Yanjing, the Qiao family wouldn't want to have much to do with the Gu family.
"Your father and your aunt are very good to you." Ji Xiaoxiao said.
Qiao Yuxian lowered his head and looked at each other with Qiao Zhiang, smiling and saying, "Yeah."
"It's not like me." Ji Xiaoxiao looked into the distance and said, "My parents seem to be selling their daughter. The daughter was sold for a very good price and they are very satisfied."
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's been like this since I was a child. They only have my brother in their eyes. Before I make any decision, they have to think about how this decision will affect my brother and never consider me."
"What about your brother?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Under their kind of education, what can he do? He acts like a vampire as he should be. And he hides behind his family and acts like a coward. He accomplishes nothing," Ji Xiaoxiao said.
"Is it really okay to tell me so much?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
"What does it have to do with it?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "You can see that I'm not doing well. The jokes are all over, do you still care about this trivial matter?"
"I'm not laughing at you." Qiao Yuxian said, "Besides, there's nothing to laugh about. Who can have a smooth life all the time?"
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Anyway, if this matter gets spread, I will blame it on you."
"That's too much." Qiao Yuxian said, "Is this how you wrongly accuse good people?"
"No?" Ji Xiaoxiao said.
"Of course not."
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "I'm just too depressed and panicked. As long as I have someone who can talk to me, I won't tell you these things."
"Then you should reflect on why you can only tell me." Qiao Yuxian said.
"You are beautiful," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "You are as beautiful as me."
