Qiao Jianjun felt that he should tell Wang Chao a few words, for example, don't compete with Qiao Lu anymore, don't compete with herself anymore, the good time hasn't passed, she can still have a good life...... He was still trying to figure out how to speak, and the sisters had already stepped out of the elevator.

Qiao Lin is not familiar with Wang Chao either, she saw her sister's reaction, so she hurriedly protected her sister. And Wang Chao had already seen Qiao Lu's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and in an instant, her eyes became very complicated.

Qiao Lu gently brushed her sister away and walked in their direction. Old Qiao wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but Qiao Lu said, "Dad, you wait for me here first, I have something to say to my old classmates." ”

"That's not going to work. Old Qiao's protector was heartfelt and categorically refused.

"Dad, it's okay, there are some problems that have been bothering me for a long time, and I happened to meet an old classmate here, and I want to talk to her. Qiao Lu pulled Qiao Lin over: "There is a coffee shop next to it, I'll take Qiao Lin with me." ”

Jolene didn't want to come into contact with such an unappetizing person at all, but her sister insisted on meeting her, so she had to honestly take on the role of bodyguard. The coffee shop was not big, and Jolene sat diagonally across from her sister, and she ordered a cup of coffee, but she couldn't drink it at all, and her heart hung over her sister.

My sister and Wang Chao sat facing each other, sitting very upright, not like they were going to do it; the height of the table was just up to my sister's chest, if Wang Chao pushed it frantically, it wouldn't hit my sister's lower abdomen, and besides, the table was very heavy, so it shouldn't be moved, and it was safe; in case Wang Chao was emotional and splashed hot coffee on my sister's face...... Qiao Lin still thinks too much, Wang Chao ordered a cup of iced American, even if it is spilled, it will not burn her sister.

Jolene has really become a trained agent, without blinking an eye, only concerned about her sister's safety.

Qiao Lu was also vigilant, and her right hand was always on her lower abdomen. She took a sip of yogurt and said, "Let's skip those greetings! I just want to ask you, you have a better background than me, your school is better than mine, you could have lived more proudly, why do you have to live with me?"

Wang Chao sat up straight and expressionless: "What is there to be proud of? Compared with you, I am so embarrassed now." There is no career, and the relationship is blank. ”

"You brought it on yourself!"

Qiao Lu was unusually excited, and Qiao Lin, who was sitting on the side, was startled. Wang Chao didn't seem to be too sensitive, so he just lowered his head and drank his coffee, and said, "Anyway, you won." ”

"You haven't answered my question yet, and in high school, I was honest with you and treated you like my best friend. But what about you? What have you done to me?"

"Because of jealousy. Wang Chao was as calm as ever: "You haven't taken any tutorial classes, you can be the first in the school; you are not born to your parents, but they support you unconditionally; you also have a younger brother who supports you everywhere...... You say that my family is better than yours, but my parents never really liked me, and if I didn't win the first place, they would try their best to sarcastically mock me and ridicule me...... I've been copying Buddhist scriptures for the past few months, but no matter how much I copy, I can't find peace. ”

Perhaps it was the first time to expose the wound in front of others, Wang Chao finally choked up: "I lost to you, I have nothing to say." ”

Thinking of what she did in the past, Qiao Lu couldn't forgive her, she once spread rumors and slandered herself on the Internet, and she didn't forget those hurts Qiao Lu. She asked, "Do you still write news?"

It was written, although no one read. ”

"You won't spread rumors on the Internet like slandering me, right?"

Wang Chao didn't speak, just took an unnatural sip of coffee.

Qiao Lu sat a little tired, she touched her lower abdomen, and said, "This may be the last time we will meet, I would rather tell you a story than advice or something, do you want to hear it?"

Wang Chao didn't answer, so Qiao Lu continued: "About forty years ago, a rural girl was finally admitted to university after a lot of hard work. For her, it was her only chance to change her fate. The family finally scraped together a sum of money for her, sent her to college, and pinned the hopes of the whole family on her. The girl also lived up to expectations and excelled in college. She even attracted a boy from a privileged family, and on the eve of graduating from college, she not only got the opportunity to stay in school and work, but also established a relationship with the boy, and her life was very good. ”

"That girl is good at everything, but she overworked, broke her body, and often had a stomachache. It's just that she is thrifty again, and it is not a fatal illness, so she is reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment. After dragging on like this for a while, her symptoms became more and more serious, and she planned to go to the hospital after participating in the sports meeting. On the day of the sports day, she endured the pain and played table tennis with her colleagues, but she twisted the cyst in her stomach, and she fainted in pain and bled a lot. ”

The girl underwent surgery in the hospital, recuperated for a few days, and quickly recovered. But when she returned to school, everything changed. A colleague who was jealous of her spread rumors that she was pregnant unmarried and accidentally miscarried, so she lost so much blood, and it just so happened that the symptoms of stomach pain could also be matched. The girl didn't care at first, she firmly believed that the pure person would clear himself, who would believe those ridiculous rumors? However, she underestimated the power of rumors, and it didn't take long for the news of her unmarried miscarriage to spread all over the city. In that conservative era, the 'style problem' could completely kill a person. In order to protect himself, the boy proposed to break up with her. This incident dealt a fatal blow to the girl, she did not recover well, and she was deeply shocked, and the place where she had surgery became inflamed. She spent a long time in the hospital that time, and the boys she had dated never came to see her, and she lost her job. ”

Wang Chao listened quietly, trying to keep her composure, but when she heard this, her hands still trembled.

"Are you curious about the girl's ending?"

Wang Chao nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, she has sought death, but she is still strong enough to survive. She returned to her hometown, found a job in a small town near her hometown, and regained her own life. ”

Hearing this ending, Wang Chao finally let out a long breath. Qiao Lu took the opportunity to say: "The first time you hurt me, it was in front of everyone, saying that I was stripped of my clothes, and there will be a few more times in the future, you slander me on the Internet...... You've taken away my chances again and again, and you've almost ruined my life. I don't know if I should ask you to be kind or not, but please remember the story of that girl...... Don't ruin someone else's life. The word 'life' is too heavy for you to bear. ”

"I asked the girl - even though she is an old man now, and she is having a good time, she still can't hold back her tears when she talks about the past. The words you said to me may not be forgotten in old age. Qiao Lu stood up, while Wang Chao lowered his head, wondering if he was sobbing softly. Qiao Lu greeted her sister, and before leaving, she said to Wang Chao: "Or, you can be like the girl in the story, although she is covered with devastation, she can still start a new life." ”

The Qiao sisters walked out of the café, while Wang Chao kept his head down and sat there without moving. Jolene asked her sister, "Did she listen to that story?"

"I did my best, if she still has a trace of kindness, it should be touched!"

Qiao Lin suddenly had a thought and asked her sister to wait in place for a while, and she went back to find Wang Chao. Wang Chao heard the voice, raised his head, and asked, "Are you here to teach me a lesson for your sister?"

Qiao Lin shook her head and asked, "Didn't you copy the Buddhist scriptures and try to find a way to redeem?"

“……”

"You used to be a famous journalist, right?"

Wang Chao smiled bitterly and did not answer.

"What if...... You still want to redeem yourself, and now you have a chance. As long as you can find justice and justice for a young man, maybe you can return to the peak of your career. ”

Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope seemed to flash. She was still reserved and asked lightly, "What is the news?"

"It's complicated, and in general, it's about academic fraud. If you're interested, I'll send you the link. ”

Jolene couldn't understand why she did that, why she chose to believe her and give her a chance. She didn't expect that that chance encounter would bring a turn to the fate of all of them.
