Chapter 129: Qiao Meimei
Qiao Meimei loves and hates her mother, because, in her life, her mother is her only relative.
Qiao's wealth ranks among the top ten in China.
Her mother fell in love with the wealth of the Qiao family, and with her surprising beauty in the entertainment industry, she drove away the Qiao family's wife from the third child.
Between parents, it seems to be a complete money transaction, and Qiao Meimei has never felt the love between them since she was a child.
It's no wonder that old husbands and young wives don't have much in common at all.
When Qiao Meimei was five years old, she discovered her mother's secret: when her father was not at home, she would always stay up all night and have a tryst with her former acting partner.
Since then, Qiao Meimei has looked down on her mother from the bottom of her heart.
She is very lonely, but her wavering Scales personality makes her afraid to have her own opinions and go along with it.
Fortunately, she also has three good sisters, Zhang Lixin, Jing Yaoying and Li Jiayin.
The Zhang family is not as rich as the Qiao family, but the Zhang family is still somewhat famous in Changle City, Yuzhou. In addition, the Li family is the richest man, so others don't sarcastically mock her in person.
Qiao Meimei has no other hobbies, except for reading, she just likes to watch.
Because of the charm of Chinese language and writing, Qiao Meimei fell in love with literature, especially the description of love in literature, which made her even more fascinated; She secretly vowed: I must find a satisfactory Lang Jun.
Therefore, she never wears the kind of clothes that are full of holes, or bare-chested and bare-backed, and rarely communicates with classmates.
In their daily lives, all the ideas of the parents are in opposite directions, but they have an amazing agreement on Qiao Meimei's issues.
Her father wanted her to study finance and help her half-brother manage the business in the future.
Her mother hoped that she would learn financial management well and grasp the power of the Qiao family in her hands.
Therefore, in the university volunteer, she had to fill in "corporate financial management", and she had no autonomy.
But she proposed to study abroad, the purpose of which was to leave this home without warmth!
The Qiao family was not short of money, and Qiao Meimei stepped out of the country very smoothly.
In a foreign country, she stayed for ten years until she completed all her studies!
The other day, she returned home, but she was reluctant to go to work.
She'd been to the company, but it was colder and more annoying than at home, and at least she had her own cabin!
She slept until 3 o'clock in the morning every day, but she would rather go to the street and hide alone in a cottage full of oil smoke and eat unhygienic snacks than eat food prepared by a dietitian at home.
She didn't eat lunch because she ate breakfast too late.
She didn't know where to go, she needed to tell her father, saying that she was going to meet her classmates, but in fact, she had never been to anyone, only Zhang Lixin had a best friend, because Li Jiayin and Jing Yaoying were in the army.
After going abroad for ten years, Jing Yaoying has never seen his good news anyway, so she rarely has contact, and now in Changle City, there is only Zhang Lixin.
Fortunately, Zhang Lixin basically comes to accompany her for afternoon tea every afternoon.
Qiao Meimei is not selfish, it is enough to have Zhang Lixin accompany her for two hours every afternoon, so when the time comes, she will drive Zhang Lixin away and come to Binjiang Park alone: she loves the sunset here.
She stood here for four days after returning home, and no one knew what she was thinking, and no one knew why, because she didn't know herself.
The only thing she knows is that she just wants to stay away from Qiao's family.
It was another morning, Qiao Meimei lazily finished freshening up and walked out of Qiao's small building.
She glanced back and sighed softly......
She felt annoyed and a little scared when there was someone in the house, she knew what she feared, she was afraid that she would be traded as a bargaining chip, but she had to come back, at least, this was her home.
When there was no one at home, she also felt cold to the bone, and when she left the house, she felt very empty.
Is this my life?
Qiao Meimei also thought about it, and in the end, she even thought of giving up herself.
Anyway, I can't hold on to myself, it's better to give up, maybe I feel better.
But she didn't, because she was really unwilling.
"Find a boyfriend ......" Zhang Lixin suggested: "Even if it's just fun, it's good to fill the emptiness in your heart!"
Qiao Meimei didn't think about it like this, but she still shook her head.
"The joy of the bed is actually really wonderful!" Zhang Lixin incited.
She didn't want to bring her best friend badly, she really couldn't bear to see Qiao Meimei who was lost and depressed every day.
"I believe it, but why do so many people get divorced? Is it really just a sexual problem?" Because she has read a lot of books and thinks a lot, Qiao Meimei must have her own ideas.
"If you can't go on, you will break up, what's so strange about this!" Zhang Lixin disagreed: "What is divorce? Anyway, it's commonplace!"
"No, divorce hurts!" Having said that, Qiao Meimei's eyes were still blank.
"Everyone else is like this, what are you afraid of!" Zhang Lixin persuaded: "Some things, you will only understand if you have experienced them yourself!"
"It's too expensive!"
"I didn't try, how do you know?"
"It's too late to try--"
Knowing that her best friend was anxious for herself, Qiao Meimei pressed her hand on the other party's hand and said: "Lixin, please don't persuade me, you know, this is my dream since I was a child, and I have been waiting for it for twenty-seven years!"
"Do you know that you are twenty-seven years old? Do you know what other people outside say about you? You have only been back for a few days? It has only been five days before people start talking about you!"
"Hehe, tell me--"
Qiao Meimei is really boring, so she wants to hear any gossip outside.
"Two days before you came back, they called you a cold beauty, and two days later they called you an ice rose—cold, cold, and prickly!"
"Am I cold?"
"Others don't mean that your face is cold, they mean that your words are cold and your heart is cold!"
Indeed, Qiao Meimei's face is not cold, and sometimes it makes people feel quite "charming", this kind of "charming" face, covered with a cold face, is quite awkward.
"Anything else?" Qiao Meimei didn't care at all.
"Today, I heard people say ......"
"Say what?"
"Say you're a pervert, say you're a frigid pervert!" Zhang Lixin got angry as she spoke.
"Great!"
"Okay? You even said yes to pass you on like that?"
"Of course, what's wrong? It's the best!"
Yes, people are terrible, and three people become tigers!
But Qiao Meimei was not afraid, and even secretly rejoiced: If this is the case, then I don't have to be afraid that my family will exchange me as an item?
"And what are you going to do next?"
"Who knows what will happen in the future, as long as I'm not annoyed now, hehe!"
"Meimei, tell me, what the hell do you think!"
"I'm afraid ......"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of domestic violence, I'm afraid of sexual-abuse, I'm afraid of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all day long, I'm even more afraid of children's feces, urine and crying......" Speaking of this, Qiao Meimei suddenly remembered her home: "I'm afraid of a cold home, and I'm even more afraid of having different dreams in the same bed!"
"Isn't it? Why do you think so much?"
Qiao Meimei really didn't think about it that much, because Zhang Lixin mentioned that she just had nothing to say.
When Qiao Meimei was with Zhang Lixin, she didn't talk much, but she just liked to be with Zhang Lixin, which was the only thing she could feel peaceful.
"All along, you've been thinking about this?" Zhang Lixin knew Qiao Meimei too well, she didn't believe it at all.
"I ......" Qiao Meimei smiled bitterly: "Actually, what I'm afraid of is 'people breaking their bowels when they wake up'...... Lixin, you say, is there anyone in the world who is 'only afraid of dreams in the middle of the night, so he burns high candles and shines in red clothes'?"
"You ......" Zhang Lixin was speechless......
After high school, she knew that Qiao Meimei had been looking forward to perfect love, and he hoped to have a man, not because of her family background or her beauty, but from the bottom of his heart to love her, love her, and cherish her;
To tell the truth, which girl doesn't have such a dream? It's just that most people's dreams have been shattered by reality, and she, Qiao Meimei, is still living in her dreams until now, even if she stays in the West for ten years, her mind still hasn't changed.
"There should be this kind of feeling...... Zhang Lixin said: "There are many people around me, when they first started, they were either vigorous or tender...... But the result ......"
"Lixin, you say, are sweet words and vows credible?"
"You don't care if it's credible or not, at least, these words are really stupid......"
It seems that Zhang Lixin has already had this experience.
"Lixin, you've changed!" Thinking of the previous agreement between the four sisters, Qiao Meimei was a little disappointed.
"People are always changing!" Zhang Lixin didn't care.
Qiao Meimei glanced at Zhang Lixin suspiciously, sighed softly, and said in her heart: "Forget it, wait slowly!" said in her mouth: "I still want to wait for my fate a little longer, they all say that fate is here, and love will come if you don't chase it, besides, I'm only twenty-seven years old, and most people now don't they get married after the age of thirty?"
"But you also have to be prepared and have a goal first!"
"I thought about it, if I really have a feeling of love, then I will get married, even if I only know each other for a day or two!" Qiao Meimei smiled, but she said what was in her heart.
She knows that nine times out of ten if life is unsatisfactory, the person she likes may not be seen by the family, and she has no ability to compete with her family, unless the other party has the ability to stand up to the sky, but is it possible?
"Crazy, evil, if you continue like this, you will become a yellow flower of tomorrow sooner or later!"
"Wouldn't that be better? so that people won't come to me because of my beauty......"
"But what about people for the next generation?"
"What do you mean?"
"Because, you have the best genes!"
"This--you can also think of it?" Qiao Meimei smiled, but in her smile, there was no worry: she believed that in reality, there must be the kind of person Zhang Lixin said.
"Okay, my aunt, stop thinking about those marginal questions, be realistic!" Zhang Lixin was a little helpless, but she didn't give up: "Life is originally a joy in suffering, why ask too much?"
"I don't ask for much......"
Qiao Meimei thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Lixin, it is said that although literature is higher than life, it comes from life, why can't I find it in life?"
"Life? Oh, by the way, don't you have a special affection for Su Dongpo's 'only afraid of falling asleep in the middle of the night, so burning high candles and illuminating red clothes'? Then let me ask you, do you remember how the Buddha Yin monk laughed at Su Dongpo's 'bachelor meditates and meditates on Amitabha; I want to go with Guanyin, and I have a wife at home. ’?”
"Hahahaha-that's a joke between them, and that's not what the Buddha seal refers to!"
"He's referring to a tangled life!" Zhang Lixin glanced at the Qiao family.
In Zhang Lixin's words, "Zen" was mentioned, which reminded Qiao Meimei of the Buddha!
After sending Zhang Lixin away, she went to Buddhism and listened to the Tao high-level explanation of fate and cause and effect!
When she left the Buddha's Gate, she forgot all of them, but she wrote down a sentence: "When people come to the world, they come to suffer, and because they did not cultivate in their previous lives, they return to the worldly suffering!"
Are people really here to suffer?
What is life, what is my future, what should I do?
By the way, the master also said a sentence, that is: follow the fate - everything is according to the fate, is it that I am at the mercy of others?
What can I do if I am not at the mercy of others? Can I have the ability to get rid of it? Do I have the conditions to get rid of it? Do I have the courage to get rid of it?
Qiao Meimei, who was in deep thought, didn't know that behind her, there was a person who was enough to change her mind and even change the fate of her life.
But he didn't know that she was thinking too much.
As the sun sank, she didn't wake up until the last rays of afterglow faded and a cold wind blew......
"You...... Who is it?"
In the dark, she suddenly found a person standing behind her, Qiao Meimei was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and almost fell into the river.
The man behind her suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her, and the other party's blow made her even more frightened.
