Chapter Forty-Nine: The Killing
However, she was also used to it, used to new injuries stacked on top of old ones, and she couldn't see it now anyway, and she didn't have to care about the ugly scars on her back.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern, it doesn't hurt anymore. ”
After Qiao Yan said this softly and politely, he deliberately bent his eyes and smiled at Jiang Huaibei kindly.
"That's good, Miss Qiao Yan, if you need my help to inform you directly, it will be an honor to do so. ”
Jianghuaibei's tone is both gentlemanly and polite, which always makes the listener feel good.
Qiao Yan is no exception.
She thanked him for smiling again, and was ready to end the conversation.
But coincidentally, just as Qiao Yan's wheelchair was about to turn around again, a withered yellow leaf fell into Qiao Yan's hair.
"Miss Qiao Yan, wait a minute. Jiang Huaibei said, stepped forward and gently plucked it off Qiao Yan's head.
This sudden physical touch made both of them a little embarrassed for a moment.
What's even more embarrassing is that this scene was seen by Si Shaofei, who happened to come over.
"Ah Yan!"
Si Shaofei saw that there was a man touching Qiao Yan so intimately, and suddenly a pair of sharp cold eyes were full of scarlet.
Walking in front of the two of them in a few quick steps, seeing the appearance of Jianghuaibei, Si Shaofei immediately recognized that it was the man who invited Qiao Yan to dance at the dinner that day.
Ill-intentioned!
This is almost Si Shaofei's evaluation of Jianghuaibei without thinking about it.
"Why are you again? Who let you touch her! I warn you, our family Ah Yan is not familiar with you, stay away from her in the future!"
With a single sentence, Si Shaofei directly defined the relationship between her and Jiang Huaibei for Qiao Yan.
Speaking of which, Qiao Yan and Jiang Huaibei have only met twice, and they are indeed not familiar.
But this time Qiao Yan didn't follow the man, and as soon as the man's voice fell, she pleaded a sentence, "Mr. Si, don't be like this, Mr. Jiang is Ah Yan's friend." ”
"Heh, friend?" Si Shaofei didn't expect Qiao Yan to refute him in public, a pair of scarlet cold eyes instantly added a bit of gloom, and he blurted out a cold question, "I think it's a boyfriend, right?"
When Si Shaofei said this, there was a clear anger in his tone, and a jealousy that he didn't even notice.
After all, that Jiang Yunshu was all done by Qiao Yan without his knowledge.
This man, it's hard to guarantee that it's not.
Especially as long as he thought of the quiet actions of the two of them just now, he was very irritable in his heart, and the aura that was about to go berserk made Qiao Yan who was directly opposite subconsciously afraid.
She almost immediately denied in a trembling voice, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Si, Ah Yan and him are just ordinary friends, we have only met twice until today, and we met by chance." ”
Qiao Yan tried his best to make it clear, he was really afraid that Jiang Huaibei would be innocently connected by this man like Jiang Yunshu again.
"Oh, is it?" Although Si Shaofei had already believed eight points in his heart, the next moment he still raised Qiao Yan's chin coldly with one hand, and the other one was placed on Qiao Yan's pale goose neck and rubbed it gently, and asked her in a gloomy voice, "But little thing, do I allow you to be ordinary friends with this man?"
Qiao Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, this man has always been so domineering and unreasonable.
She was accustomed not to disobey him and did not speak.
And Jianghuai North on the side.
But he lifted the ink gold wire frame on the bridge of his nose, and gently questioned Si Shao Fei, "Mr. Si, what you said is not right, Miss Qiao Yan is an independent individual, who she makes friends with, it is her freedom, why do you need your consent?"
Hehe......
Jiang Huaibei's words made the man sneer twice, and the next moment, he looked at Qiao Yan, "Come, Ah Yan, do you need to tell this Mr. Jiang?"
After a few seconds, he didn't hear Qiao Yan's immediate obedient answer, and the man's tone was already a little impatient when he spoke again, "I asked you to speak!"
This is the tail note of the threat that rises before getting angry, and unsurprisingly, it once again aroused the subconscious fear and obedience in Qiao Yan's heart, "Need, need." ”
"Well, Ah Yan is so good. ”
Si Shaofei rubbed Qiao Yan's trembling little head with great satisfaction, and then after looking at Jiang Huaibei with contempt and provocation, he pushed Qiao Yan to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaibei stopped him behind his back.
"Mr. Si, don't you think you have gone too far with Miss Qiao Yan like this? You don't allow her to associate with anyone, you are controlling her life, she is not your appendage, she should have her own freedom and thoughts, instead of blindly just obeying your words!"
The words of the man behind him can be said to poke at Shao Fei's mind every sentence.
Jiang Huaibei is right, he does have the idea of trapping Qiao Yan by his side now and not allowing anyone to approach her, after all, there are bad people outside, just like this man, who came to abduct his family.
How could he possibly allow such a thing to happen!
Especially when he thought that Qiao Yan might have to get out of his control, he would be very flustered and irritable.
This had to make him declare his sovereignty over Jiang Huaibei domineeringly, "This is my family matter, Mr. Jiang is too lenient, let me tell you, this little thing is my Shao Fei's, she belongs to me at all times, this will never change!"
After saying these words, Si Shaofei felt that his patience had also reached the extreme.
Speaking of which, his temper is really good today, and he didn't do anything to this man, it was already for the sake of Qiao Yan's face that was not easily stimulated now.
On the way back to the ward, Si Shaofei had been rubbing Qiao Yan's little head affectionately, Qiao Yan didn't hide, but he didn't make any pleasant response.
She seems to be accustomed to and acquiescing to what men do to her.
In the next few days, Qiao Yan would ask Sister-in-law Zhang to take her downstairs for a walk every afternoon, because only when the biting cool breeze blew on her body could she feel alive.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or deliberately, she often bumps into Jianghuai Bei.
Jiang Huaibei sympathizes with Qiao Yan and often brings her some gadgets to relieve her boredom, but Qiao Yan will always refuse in order to avoid suspicion.
Until this day, Jianghuai North brought her a rock sugar gourd.
"Miss Qiao Yan, I heard that girls like sweets, when I went out to eat in the afternoon, I happened to see a skewer shop, so I bought you hawthorn, I don't know if you like it or not?"
Qiao Yan was bitter in his mouth because of the daily infusion, but he didn't refuse.
"Then Miss Qiao Yan, can you eat it now? Otherwise, I'll help you tear the bag open." ”
Qiao Yan herself likes sweets, plus the hospital is full of the smell of cold disinfectant water, she has not tasted sweetness for too long, and the stimulation of her taste buds brought by the conditioned reflex made her nod.
So, the man in the white coat carefully tore the wrapping paper on the outside of the sugar gourd for Qiao Yan, then half-squatted down and gently handed it to Qiao Yan's right hand.
Qiao Yan, the only uninjured right hand, was handcuffed to a wheelchair, but she lowered her head and was still able to pass a long string of rock sugar gourds to her mouth.
But when she was about to put it in her mouth, she realized that she was still wearing a mask to hide the scratches on her face, which made her hand drop quickly.
Jianghuai North on the side also saw it.
"I'll help you. Jiang Huaibei said gently, and was about to reach out to help Qiao Yan take off the mask on his face, but the person in the wheelchair reacted very hurriedly and refused, "Don't, don't take it off, Mr. Jiang, it's too cold outside, I, I'll go back to the ward and eat." ”
Qiao Yan didn't want others to see her ugly appearance.
Jiang Huaibei didn't know the twists and turns, he saw Qiao Yan refuse, and he didn't insist, but he took out two more strings of sugar gourds with packaging bags.
"Actually, Miss Qiao Yan, because I don't know which flavor you like, I bought grape and orange flavors by the way, you can take them all back and eat them, and tell me what flavor you want to eat next time." ”
Jiang Huaibei gently raised his head and finished speaking to Qiao Yan, bowed his head and handed the two strings to Qiao Yan's hand.
When Si Shaofei went downstairs to find Qiao Yan, he saw this scene.
Almost instantly, Si Shaofei felt as if he was blocked by something in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable.
This was obviously a scene that used to belong only to him and Qiao Yan, but now it is ......
This man is really looking for death!
At this moment, looking at the two people talking and laughing under the ginkgo tree, the man's cold eyes were filled with gloomy anger, and he couldn't wait to burn the cold air around him.
"Mr. Si. ”
Just a moment later, when Sister-in-law Zhang respectfully shouted this title, Qiao Yan's heart trembled, and she obviously felt a violent aura coming towards her.
Almost instantly, with a "bang", Si Shaofei directly punched Jianghuaibei.
