Chapter 21: Be Nice
Until 11 o'clock in the evening, Gao Jian did not come back, and he did not reply to the text message.
The mother was anxious, pushed the wheelchair over and said, "This guest is so unpleasant, look at what time it is, you don't even reply to the phone, what are you doing? lock the door and go home." ”
She saw that Qian Xiaoxian didn't speak, and then said: "You too, he asked you to wait, you are stupid to wait? Things outside the scope of work, you have to refuse if you should refuse, in the middle of the night, you are a girl, why don't you have any sense of prevention?"
Qian Xiaoxian still sent a final message to Gao Jian, telling him that he and his mother had gone home.
One night, she still didn't hear from Gao Jian.
The next day, there was still no call or message from Gao Jian.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Xiaoxian was hungry, she drank a glass of milk, she still felt hungry, she took two sweet potatoes and washed them on tap water, wrapped them in tin foil and put them in the oven.
Waiting for the sweet potatoes to be baked, she called her mother, and several women on the phone chatted enthusiastically, and her mother seemed to be particularly happy.
What's going on today?
In the past, my mother never went to the fat aunt's house, and she still had dinner at her house tonight?
This is the first time in the new year.
Sitting in front of the computer, Qian Xiaoxian turned on QQ Music and looped the single "Let Me Stay by Your Side". Listening to the music and eating a piece of sweet potato, she took out a snack and ate it for a while, tonight should be regarded as not cooking dinner, saving at least two hours, so she rarely enjoyed a leisure.
…… The smallest of me has big dreams...... She hummed along a few lines, she liked this lyric the most, and it was because of this lyric that she liked this song.
Yes, Qian Xiaoxian dropped out of high school in her third year of high school and never had the opportunity to go to college again, her life will repeat her mother's life, marrying her husband and teaching her children to be a family, and she has to work to earn money to support her family.
If it weren't for her sudden illness, she would ride a tricycle to the market to sell fried stewed rice at the market on the day of the market.
This is not the life Qian Xiaoxian wants, although she was not a top student when she was in school, her grades have always been middle and upper-class, and her Chinese scores have always been in the top few in the class.
Especially the composition, which is well-known in the whole school, once won the third prize in the national middle school students' essay competition, and also published two essays in the composition magazine, although the manuscript fee is less than 100 yuan.
However, for a student who does not yet have the ability to earn money, it is simply a great encouragement.
So, Qian Xiaoxian's dream began, although she couldn't go to college, she still wrote novels, so Qian Xiaoxian quickly got rid of the loss of dropping out.
When she first signed a contract with the site, and then the novel hit the shelves, her dream began again......
Listening to the song, Qian Xiaoxian suddenly remembered that the title of this song had misunderstood Gao Jian, she couldn't help but glance at the door, and quickly turned off QQ music.
She opened the document and began to save the manuscript, still writing at the beginning of the article as before--I have big dreams in the smallest!
When I went home at night, my mother didn't tell me about going to my fat aunt's house.
Qian Xiaoxian was still sharp-eyed and found that her mother's eyes were red, she thought, she was obviously very happy on the phone.
At half past six the next morning, there was still no news from Gao Jian, and Qian Xiaoxian made millet porridge. Omelettes, meat and pickles, she brought the meal to the dining room.
She thought, didn't he come back all night?
She walked to the front yard and looked, the door was locked from the outside, and the car was not in the yard, it seemed that she really hadn't come back.
Qian Xiaolai still went to the bedroom door and shouted, "Mr. Gao, are you there?"
"Hmm. ”
Gao Jian's soft voice came from the living room.
Qian Xiaoxian pushed the door in, and immediately, a smell of wine came to her face.
Looking at the living room, the floor is full of messes.
Gao Jian half-lay on the sofa and looked at Qian Xiaoxian innocently.
"Drinking again?"
"Ruthless girl, where have you been, don't care about me!"
Gao Jian suddenly stretched out his long arm to grab Qian Xiaoxian's hand.
Qian Xiaoxian flashed quickly, she had long been accustomed to his surprise attacks, so she was always on guard.
"I ...... Get up. Qian Xiaoxian covered her nose in disgust.
"Nope. Gao Jian tilted his head and lay face inside.
Qian Xiaoxian cleaned up the living room only to find that the bedroom was even more miserable, on the ground, on the sheets, and on the pillows, all of which were spit dirty by him.
Qian Xiaoxian scrubbed all morning before cleaning up the various rooms and cleaning the contaminated items.
Gao Jian lay in the living room for a while, he watched Qian Xiaoxian's busy work coming and going, and ignored him
After a while, he got up and went to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Gao Jian made a cup of coffee and sat in the dining room scrolling through his mobile phone, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
After drinking coffee, he leisurely paced to the small kiosk in the backyard, made a few phone calls, and then started running on the treadmill in the garden, and it was a full hour before he broke into the house wet.
At this time, Qian Xiaoxian had just dragged the floor to the back door, and just straightened up and turned around to go out, and the two of them almost collided.
Gao Jian's hair was already soaked with sweat, and the wisps looked like they had just been baked with oil, black and shiny.
After exercising, his face was flushed with health, the dense beads of sweat on his head were glowing, the corners of his mouth were curled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"You're in my way. ”
"I'm mopping the floor. ”
Qian Xiaoxian looked up, the two of them were very close, Gao Jian could even see a layer of fine pale fluff on her smooth apple muscles, and the fine sweat made her delicate face moisturized, and her eyelashes were also wet.
Because she had been working for a long time, her face was full of fatigue after exercise, and it was this fatigue that aroused people's desire to protect every minute, which suddenly made Gao Jian's heart move.
"Aren't you going to get out of the way, then I'll ....... ”
Gao Jian instantly opened his two long arms, and the corners of his mouth raised a wicked smile.
Mr. Gao...... Don't forget who you are. ”
Qian Xiaoxian thought to herself, she was going crazy, how could he be like a chameleon, dignified for a while, and ruffian for a while, Qian Xiaoxian felt that Gao Jian at this moment was a fake chairman.
"I'm the bad young master of our family, so you have to be well-behaved. ”
Gao Jian seemed to see Qian Xiaoxian's thoughts at a glance, and as he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and approached Qian Xiaoxian, snorting.
"You smell good. ”
"Hey, are you yellow-haired?"
"Who's Yellow Hair?"
"My puppy. ”
Qian Xiaoxian's voice was very low, thinking that this sentence would definitely cause trouble, but she said it so smoothly.
"Say what. ”
Gao Jian squinted his eyes, and his two arms suddenly rested on Qian Xiaoxian's shoulders.
Eyes met, sudden silence.
Qian Xiaoxian saw that he was about to lean over again, she suddenly stretched out her hand to block him and said, "What are you going to eat at noon?"
"I eat out at noon and at night as usual. ”
Gao Jian saw Qian Xiaoxian's eyes full of disgust, he put down his arm, shook his wrist, and turned around and went into the bathroom.
"Got it. ”
"Do you want to be back at 11 o'clock in the evening?"
Qian Xiaoxian knew that it was useless to resist, so she just responded, and she carried a mop cloth to dry in the back yard.
However, the moment she pushed open the back door, she turned her head and asked, "What time did you come back last night?"
"Two o'clock in the morning. ”
Gao Jian walked into the bathroom, he stood in the mirror and took a comb to straighten his hair, and said very casually: "I can't drive if I drink, and the driver will pick me up after a while." ”
"What time are you back tonight?"
As soon as she heard that he didn't come back until two o'clock last night, Qian Xiaoxian was not calm, did she have to wait until two o'clock tonight? That was really a pitfall.
"Say, are we having a normal conversation right now?"
The tone that had been smooth and relaxed just now suddenly increased again.
Qian Xiaoxian didn't know what he was crazy again, but she still asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think that now you are like a wronged little daughter-in-law, interrogating her husband who returned late?"
"I don't like jokes like that. ”
Qian Xiaoxian pushed the door out, she really met a wrongdoer, and she was really waiting for him to be informed, but she took the initiative to ask him, but she attracted his teasing.
"Got emotional, Manager Qian, the nature of your work should keep smiling. ”
Gao Jian's accent was normal again, and he whistled back to the bedroom as if nothing happened, when his mobile phone rang again.
He said to his phone, "Okay, you drive directly to No. 199 Qingyun Street." ”
Qian Xiaoxian stopped talking and walked to the living room to pack her things.
"What's the matter? Isn't there chaos at home? are you going to go back and write?" Gao Jian put his phone to his ear and poked his head out to ask.
"Hmm. Qian Xiaoxian didn't want to say a word to him.
Gao Jian hung up the phone and also came to the living room, he sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and leisurely watched Qian Xiaoxian busy with his work, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
"If you throw away the soiled quilt, the driver will bring you a new one. ”
"Hmm. ”
Qian Xiaoxian put her bag on her back, carrying a computer bag in her hand, ready to leave.
"Wait a minute. Qian Xiaoxian didn't look at her, just stood and waited.
"When I'm gone, you lock the door. Gao Jian pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit, I still have some questions and want to consult you." ”
Qian Xiaoxian sat on the sofa on one side.
"Dididi-"
Gao Jian glanced at the phone screen and hung up decisively.
"Dididi-"
The phone rang again.
"Zhou Han, are you finished...... Ah, mom it's you. ”
Gao Jian picked up the phone, the note on the mobile phone was Zhou Han, but the voice was his mother, he glanced at Qian Xiaoxian, lowered his voice and said, "Mmmmmm, I have something to do now, I'll call you in a while?"
Gao's mother's voice came from the phone: "You go home for me directly." ”
"Why didn't you give me a letter when you returned to China? Did Zhou Han let you be a lobbyist? This is impossible, Zhou Han is absolutely impossible, if you force me again, believe it or not, I will run away from home and show you. ”
"I'm coming back not only because of the two of you, but also because of the company, you hurry up and come back to me, your dad is also here. ”
On the phone, Gao Mu's voice was very harsh.
"Mom, can you do everything? Do you know the real situation of the company? Do you know how confused Mr. Gao is? He actually challenged the bottom line of the law, he wanted to ruin my future for the sake of the company, I began to wonder, am I his own child, how can he push me into the fire pit. ”
Gao Jian suddenly hung up his mobile phone, he took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and inhaled again.
