The light of the mobile phone could not illuminate the entire secret room, just like peeping through a tube, and the expressions of Ling Chuchu and others became nervous. Even if it were not for the presence of three men, Fang Ming, Chen Ze, and Ling Wei, they would not necessarily
Dare to go in.
"Why is there no light?"
Zhang Shuchen's mobile phone light shined on the wall, trying to find a light to turn on, but it just shined along the wall. There was no light switch at all, which made Zhang Shuchen a little confused.
Generally speaking, the light switch will be on the wall next to the door, where it can be touched by hand. This is common sense in the design of all light switches. But the strange thing about this secret room is that the light switch is not beside the door.
"There are no electric lights here."
Fang Ming spoke. Although the secret room was very dark, he could see clearly with his sight. He walked directly towards it. The next moment, a dim light lit up in the secret room. There was a person in front of Fang Ming.
The oil lamp was lit.
One, two, three...
There are a total of seven oil lamps in the entire secret room, which are located in seven places in the secret room. As these seven oil lamps were lit by Fang Ming, Ling Chuchu and others looked at the secret room in front of them with their mouths open.
There are no dirty secrets, nothing scary, and no priceless treasures. There is only one table in the entire secret room, and on this table are various scissors and threads, not far from the table.
There are several pieces of cloth lying everywhere.
"Isn't this just a tailor's room? These things are used by tailors."
Chen Ze had an incomprehensible look on his face. What did Qiao Mao want to do by setting up a secret room in the study and placing these things for tailors in the secret room?
"What's Qiao Mao doing? Why does a tailoring studio have to be so mysterious?"
Ling Chuchu and others also looked puzzled. Among all the people present, only Fang Ming looked at these things in the secret room, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a thoughtful look on his face.
"Ye Mei, does Qiao Mao have any psychological problems? I think you need to ask clearly. This is related to your future life."
Zhang Shuchen looked at Ye Mei, but just as she finished speaking, there was a figure standing at the door of the secret room. This figure stood at the door, blocking the lights in the study, causing the brightness of the entire secret room to change.
A bit darker.
"who?"
The change in brightness was felt by everyone present, and they immediately looked towards the door. However, because of the backlight, everyone could not see the figure's face clearly.
"Qiao Mao?"
Ye Mei shouted softly. She naturally remembered her fiancé's appearance. Although she couldn't see his face, she could tell from his figure.
"Yeah." A low response came from the figure's mouth.
"I guess you just wanted to scare people. You didn't say anything when you came back. You just stood at the door and said nothing."
Chen Ze had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Everyone was already in a tense mood. You were still standing at the door without saying a word. What were you trying to do instead of scaring people?
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me outside? Why do you have to enter the secret room?"
Because Qiao Mao's facial expression could not be seen, but Qiao Mao's deep voice could also tell his suppressed anger. Obviously, the secret room was discovered by Fang Ming and others, which made him very angry.
"Qiao Mao, I don't think it's the reason why we can't enter the secret room now. You should explain to us why you want to create a secret room in the study and put so many tailoring tools in this secret room. Do you still want to be a secret room?"
A tailor?"
Ling Chuchu was dissatisfied. As Ye Mei's best friend, she naturally didn't want her best friend to marry a man with many secrets, because if a man had too many secrets, it meant that the man was somewhat perverted in his heart. This would be detrimental to her best friend.
It is not a good thing for my future, because living with such a man will encounter many problems.
"Can't you be a tailor?"
Qiao Mao finally moved away from the door and walked inside, but Ling Chuchu and others were stunned by Qiao Mao's answer, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"My Qiao family is originally a tailoring family, and we started as a tailor. As a Qiao family member, is there anything wrong with me learning tailoring skills?"
Qiao Mao walked up to Ye Mei and touched Ye Mei's hair with a doting expression on his face, "The reason why I created a secret room is actually because I don't want this matter to be exposed. After all, a man working as a tailor
Your work will eventually make people laugh at you."
When he said this, Qiao Mao's expression was a little helpless, while Ye Mei's face showed a look of understanding. Indeed, Qiao Mao is the president of the Qiao family enterprise. If outsiders know that such a man likes to be a tailor, he can only do it as a woman.
I am afraid that the prestige of my needlework will be completely lost.
"Ye Mei, you also know the situation of our family. I was brought here by my grandma. My grandma was a tailor at that time, and I have been exposed to these tailoring jobs since I was a child. At that time, I felt that my grandma could really support the family with her craftsmanship.
It was great, so I fell in love with tailoring when I was a child."
Qiao Mao's expression was a little bitter, but this time Ling Chuchu and others did not laugh at Qiao Mao. A person's personality and habits are indeed easily affected by the environment in childhood. Qiao Mao has been influenced by his grandma since he was a child, so he likes tailors so much.
That's right.
It is indeed not a very honorable thing for a grown man to like tailoring. It is understandable that Qiao Mao does not want to let outsiders know.
"Mr. Qiao, tailoring has become another profession now, that is, clothing designer. As far as I know, there are many male personnel in this industry, and many of them have reached the top level. It seems that there are no
Nothing shameful."
Fang Ming spoke, looking at Qiao Mao with deep meaning, and continued: "Mr. Qiao's explanation seems a bit unreasonable."
"Who is this?"
Qiao Mao looked at Fang Ming, because he had seen the picture of the study room through his mobile phone camera before, and knew that it was the man in front of him who had knocked down the bookshelf, exposing his secret room to everyone.
"His name is Fang Ming, and he is my friend." Ling Chuchu introduced from the side, "This is Fang Ming's girlfriend, and these two are also Fang Ming's friends."
Qiao Mao glanced at Ye Ziyu, Tang Yan and Chen Ze. Among the people present, he had never seen Fang Ming. As for Ling Chuchu and Ling Wei, he had seen them. After all, he was his fiancée's best friend.
Just a few.
"Mr. Fang, for ordinary people, being a designer is indeed a high-level profession. It would be something to be proud of if you can become a famous designer in the industry. But my situation is different. I am the heir to the Qiao family and manage
Owning all the Qiao family's property, my father never let me get involved in tailoring since I was a child, because he was afraid that I would lose my ambition by playing with things."
For some big families, no matter how popular and high-ranking the designer industry is, they are just a tailor in their eyes. This is like a star nowadays, no matter how shining the king is, how high his income is, but in some high-level and high-level people, he is just a tailor.
In the eyes of some old people with old-fashioned ideas, celebrities are just actors and cannot be on the stage.
"So that's it."
Fang Ming's voice was deliberately prolonged and he did not continue the topic. Instead, he walked to the bamboo basket next to the table. There were some clothes in it, sewn by Qiao Mao. When Fang Ming brought these clothes up,
Qiao Mao's expression changed several times.
"Hey, Mr. Qiao turns out to like sewing wedding dresses."
The clothes in this bamboo basket are red wedding dresses, and the workmanship is also very good. However, Qiao Mao is obviously not very satisfied, otherwise he would not have thrown them all into the trash basket.
"Ahem, yes."
"The wedding dress has a meaning. If I remember correctly, Sister Ye Mei already has a wedding dress. Mr. Qiao, you still sew a wedding dress. What's the meaning?"
When Fang Ming asked this question, he stared at Qiao Mao, but Qiao Mao hesitated and couldn't answer. In the end, he simply avoided looking at Fang Ming.
"Mr. Qiao doesn't want to say the reason, so let me tell you."
After meeting Qiao Mao, Fang Ming was 100% sure of his judgment, and what he had to do now was to break Qiao Mao's psychological defense.
"Fang Ming, what do you want to say?"
Ling Chuchu and the others all looked at Fang Ming, and Fang Ming smiled faintly, put the wedding dress in his hands on the table, and said slowly: "I heard Sister Ye Mei say before that the Ye family and the Qiao family are family friends.
Mei and Qiao Mao knew each other when they were young, and Ye Mei liked to pester Qiao Mao when she was a child, following Qiao Mao like a follower."
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Ye Mei blushed and became a little shy, because she did often pester Qiao Mao when she was a child.
"If this is the story, it should be a happy love story. The two childhood sweethearts grew up and came together. What an enviable love."
Fang Ming sighed slightly, looked at Qiao Mao, and continued: "But in this incident, Mr. Qiao, as the male protagonist, didn't have much feelings for Sister Ye Mei, at least when he was a child, and then as the Ye family moved away from his hometown
After staying at home, the two families gradually became estranged, and no one mentioned the baby relatives that the adults joked about at the time."
Regarding the story between Ye Mei and Qiao Mao, during the previous meal, Fang Ming also learned a lot from Ye Mei and Ling Chuchu through insinuations. He could completely deduce the story between the two.
"Originally, it doesn't matter. If the children had fun together when they were young, then the whole world would be full of childhood sweethearts' love. After the Ye family moved away, the contact between the two families also decreased, and Sister Ye Mei has long since
I forgot about the little boy I liked when I was a child, so when I later found out that I was going to be engaged to Mr. Qiao, I was full of resistance and even had the idea of running away from the marriage."
The story between Ye Mei and Qiao Mao is very simple. The two childhood playmates later separated, and the woman had no impression of the man. It was not until many years later that the Ye family returned to the capital, and the parents of the two families once again mentioned the two.
They knew everything about the children at home, and finally got this marriage.
However, Fang Ming is sure of one thing, that is, Ye Mei has overlooked one detail. Ye Mei herself does not know this detail, and Fang Ming only thought of it when he saw the wedding dress in the bamboo basket.
"Mr. Qiao must love Sister Ye Mei very much. He even fell in love with Sister Ye Mei when he was a child."
Fang Ming looked at Qiao Mao, and the corner of Qiao Mao's mouth twitched. However, Ye Mei interrupted Fang Ming at this moment and exclaimed: "This is impossible. He hated me when he was a child and wouldn't follow me."
Just for fun."
"Just because he doesn't play with you doesn't mean he doesn't like you. On the contrary, he will stop playing with you only if he likes you, because only in this way can he protect you. Mr. Qiao, am I right?"
Facing Fang Ming's inquiry, Qiao Mao said nothing, but his face turned gloomy.
"Fang Ming, you have confused me. Since Qiao Mao liked Ye Mei when he was a child, why didn't he play with Ye Mei when he was a child?" Ling Chuchu also frowned and asked.
"I know, this is called playing hard to get. You obviously like a woman and deliberately pretend not to be interested in her. This will arouse the woman's curiosity and make her take the initiative to approach you." Ling Wei suddenly shouted from the side.
said, and his words were recognized by Chen Ze, who nodded.
Well……
Fang Ming was speechless, while Ling Chuchu rolled her eyes at her brother angrily. At that time, Ye Mei was only four or five years old, and Qiao Mao was less than ten years old. How could such a young child know what playing hard to get means?
"Fang Ming, you mean that Mr. Qiao can't show his love for Sister Ye Mei, otherwise it will bring danger to Sister Ye Mei, so Mr. Qiao deliberately pretended not to be interested in Sister Ye Mei." Ye Ziyu thought for a moment and said.
.
"Yes, that's the reason."
Fang Ming nodded, still looking at Qiao Mao, but at this time Qiao Mao smiled, with a sarcastic look on his face, and said: "It's simply nonsense. If I like Ye Mei, I will bring trouble to Ye Mei."
It’s dangerous, so why should I agree to my family’s engagement with Ye Mei?”
"That's because you think you have the ability to solve the danger that Sister Ye Mei will encounter, so you agreed to this engagement." Fang Ming replied word for word.
Qiao Mao's body swayed slightly, but he still pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Fang Ming, please explain yourself clearly. We are getting more and more confused by what you are saying." Chen Ze was a little dissatisfied on the sidelines. Is Fang Ming deliberately trying to interest everyone?
"Actually, these failed wedding dresses can already explain the problem. Haven't you noticed that Mr. Qiao is sewing the wedding dress that his grandma gave to Sister Ye Mei in this secret room?"
"Even if Mr. Qiao likes sewing, or even likes wedding dresses, there is no need to sew a wedding dress exactly like his grandma's. The only reason is that Mr. Qiao has to do it, and his purpose of doing it is actually
Very simple..."
When he said this, Fang Ming's lips curled up with deep meaning. He looked at Qiao Mao and said word by word: "Mr. Qiao's purpose is to replace the wedding dress that Sister Ye Mei will wear when she gets engaged, because he knows
, that wedding dress will be Sister Ye Mei’s life-threatening dress.”
