Lin Xie refused to give up and insisted on three months' compensation; she made trouble until Fourth Master Xi came home from get off work and Xi Wenlan was also out of school.
The father and daughter were always generous and agreed to give it three months, and this month would be settled as a month. In fact, this month only lasted two weekends, which can be counted as half a month.
Lin Xie took four months' salary and left Xi Mansion.
It was dusk when she left, and a light rain began to fall in the sky, lingering densely and slantingly. The street lights of Xi Mansion were like beauties covered with yellow gauze, standing gracefully, dotting the quiet and humid night.
Yun Qiao stood on the balcony, the drizzle fell on her face, and her vision was filled with layers of mist.
Lin Xie reached the fork in the road, felt something, and looked back at Yun Qiao.
She looked at her from a distance.
Lin Xie smiled indifferently. It was a smile, but it only touched the corners of her lips, but the ridicule and indifference were clearly visible in the corners of her eyes.
She seemed to be saying: "We'll wait and see."
Yun Qiao didn't move.
The wind urges the flowers to fall, and the petals of the pear tree next to the path fall with the cold rain, and they are brighter than snow.
"Another person has been offended." Yun Qiao thought.
This person was offended inexplicably, similar to Sheng Zhao's situation.
It obviously had nothing to do with Yun Qiao, but in the end it involved her. Yun Qiao reflected on himself, whether being so worldly is too much of a failure?
She doesn't think so.
She has a good sense of what she should do and what she shouldn't do; however, she has become a villain simply because of her eye-catching appearance, which easily attracts the jealousy of others.
Jealousy is the most terrifying thing, it can quickly turn into hatred - many unprovoked hatreds are caused by jealousy.
After Yun Qiao finished reflecting, she closed the balcony door and went to sleep.
It rained lightly all night, and the next day it was incredibly clear. The sky was cloudless, and the sunshine and the blue sky seemed to have been washed away, making them spotless.
A few birds were chirping, jumping and playing on the treetops, not afraid of people at all.
Yun Qiao received a call at this moment.
The voice on the phone was warm and magnetic, but also hoarse from the fatigue of the journey: "Yun Qiao, this is Cheng Li..."
He arrived at Yancheng.
What greeted him was the best weather in Yancheng this month.
"Second brother, where are you staying now?" Yun Qiao asked.
"At the Qian Mansion." Cheng Li's laughter was gentle, like honey wrapped in it, warm and sweet, "Are you free? I haven't seen you for a while."
Yun Qiao was naturally happy when she heard his voice.
This is her second brother, the man she has looked up to. In her heart, the second brother is as majestic as her father and a beacon on her road ahead.
But she remembered Zhu Yucheng's words.
Zhu Yucheng asked her: When will she get engaged to her second brother?
It shouldn't be a casual question.
Yun Qiao was convinced of Xi Lanting, so she couldn't go to his second brother to be nice and courteous even though she knew he liked her. She had grown up and was no longer a child.
After her birthday this year, she will be twenty years old, and she will be able to make a strong contribution to the family.
"Second brother, have you finished your work?" Yun Qiao asked again.
Cheng Li: "It hasn't started yet, I plan to rent a place to live first."
"I have something to do these days, second brother, please do your work first. When you settle down, I will come to see you." Yun Qiao said.
Cheng Li: "You're not coming today? I brought you delicious food..."
Yun Qiao: "..."
"You really won't come? If you meet me like this, who told you what, or did I do something wrong?" Cheng Li still asked with a smile.
He understands Yun Qiao's temper.
Whenever something goes wrong, there must be a reason.
Yun Qiao was very close to him. He had come all the way here and had already told her that there was no way she could not get away temporarily.
Yun Qiao didn't know what to say.
Whether they were engaged or not was just gossip from Zhu Yucheng's mouth, not Cheng Li's. For this reason, Yun Qiao felt that it was a bit too much to alienate him.
She smiled and said, "I really have something to do. Since you brought delicious food, why don't I go in the afternoon and try to finish the work in the morning."
