Chapter 21 The road is narrow
Jiang Xiaoqiao doesn't remember how he got back home. She woke up in the morning on the soft and wide bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and the first scene that came to her mind was the sudden kiss of the previous night.
Gentle and loving, but not mixed with a trace of lust.
She vaguely remembered that she had gradually become unconscious. The night breeze blew and turned the two points of wine into five points, as if he didn't hold it up and fell asleep in someone's arms in the end, and the last memory was that he was picked up lightly.
It was Mo Andy who sent her home, but when she woke up, the house was empty.
Jiang Xiaoqiao closed his eyes, and he was slightly disappointed.
Then he opened his eyes suddenly, patted his cheek vigorously, and sat up straight. It's over, Mo Andy, this guy has a lot of emotional experience, and he is a good girl. If this continues, she estimates that she will have to cheat cleanly and completely together with her spirit and body.
Jiang Xiaoqiao seemed to have seen the green hat on the head of the old man he had never met, which became more and more verdant.
Turning his head to look at the elegantly decorated bedroom, and thinking about the series of zeros on the bank card. Jiang Xiaoqiao's guilt was even heavier, and she couldn't breathe.
If it had been found out that her stepmother and eldest son had been unclear in ancient times, would she have been immersed in a pig cage, rolled a nail board, or had she been executed by splitting up the corpses of five horses? The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. Jiang Xiaoqiao lay down with a wail, covered his face and secretly made up his mind that he would resolutely keep his distance from his stepson in the future.
Today is the weekend, so she doesn't have to go to work, she lies in bed tossing and turning, and after a while, she falls asleep in a daze. Until Tongtong made a phone call, "Where are you, Xiao Qiao?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao rubbed his eyes vigorously and said indistinctly, "What about sleeping, what about you?"
Tongtong watched the hands of the clock pass steadily past half past ten, and was completely impressed by her good friend's bed-lying skills: "You just sleep in the bed!!!"
The familiar shouting on the other end of the phone came, and Jiang Xiaoqiao's residual sleepiness had long since disappeared: "Finally, I can sleep lazily on the weekend, of course I have to lie down for a while." What's the matter with me?"
Tongtong then remembered the matter: "There is a new fried shop opposite the company, I heard that it is delicious, let's go and have a look!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao suddenly burst into flames. She and Tongtong met when they were in college because they went to the same porridge shop every day for a while, and later found that they had the same love and keen intuition for food.
Jiang Xiaoqiao put on his clothes at the speed of light, opened the door and walked out. The servants did not dare to disturb her sleep, and only when she got up and walked out of the door did they respectfully come up and ask for instructions to prepare breakfast, ah no, it was lunch.
Jiang Xiaoqiao hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to be busy, I'll go out to eat today." ”
After thinking about it, she still didn't drive the sports car that Mo Jingyuan gave her, she had been ignored by the Jiang family for more than ten years, and she was not used to such a swagger.
After getting out of the taxi, Jiang Xiaoqiao saw Tongtong waving at her across the road. Tongtong is a tall girl, her face is not spoken, and her charming big waves are even more eye-catching.
Only the food and beauties can't be disappointed, Jiang Xiaoqiao thought happily, it seems that God treats her well.
Although this shop called Zhang Ji Shengfang has only been open for less than a week, business is very hot. The boss is a chubby uncle with glasses, and when he laughs, he only sees his teeth and no eyes, and he looks very kind. The people in the store were bustling, Tongtong pulled Jiang Xiaoqiao to squeeze around, and finally found an empty table against the wall, and the two sat down face to face.
Jiang Xiaoqiao's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out to look, it was a text message from Mo Andi: "I am going to S City on a business trip for a few days recently, my mother pays attention to her body and takes medicine on time." She pursed her lips and was about to go back to the past, when another message popped up: "Remember to miss me." ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao angrily threw his phone aside, not planning to pay attention to him anymore. When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes flashing with gossip on the other side, Tongtong supported his chin with both hands, and smiled evilly: "Which handsome guy did you hook up with?"
…… Do you have your own line? It's still a younger generation. Jiang Xiaoqiao's stomach was full of bitter words, which were clearly written in her pitiful eyes.
Tongtong waved his hand, and his ability to mention which pot was not opened became more and more perfect: "Take a look at which one for my sister to see, and help you identify it, so as not to meet a scumbag again." ”
I don't know which is closer to a scumbag than the stepson who hooked up with my little mother, or the ex-boyfriend of my sister's splitting legs? Jiang Xiaoqiao cried with a sad face: "I don't plan to fall in love in the past three years." ”
"How can that be done?" Tongtong shouted in a fuss, "I've calculated it for you, you are moving in the red luan star this year, and you will be killed in peach blossoms, and if you meet the right one, you must not let it go!"
It's not that I don't want to go to the peach blossoms, but all the ones that can go are rotten peach blossoms! Jiang Xiaoqiao was teary-eyed.
The steaming fried food was served, the aroma spread out, and the stomachs of the two of them sounded at the same time. Jiang Xiaoqiao picked up one and took a bite with satisfaction, the hot and fragrant meat juice flowed out, and she exhaled and said inarticulately: "Speaking of which, Tongtong, it seems that we haven't eaten together for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?"
Tongtong's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and his eyes darkened, "My mother was sick a few days ago...... I need money, and I've been busy working part-time lately. ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao was startled, and the raw fry in his hand almost fell: "Auntie is sick? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tongtong bit her lip and shook her head vigorously: "It's an old problem, it's not a big deal, but you need to take medicine all the time, and the medicine is quite expensive." He smiled at Jiang Xiaoqiao again: "Didn't you get into trouble a few days ago because of the incident between Licheng and Jiang Beibei...... And the Jiang family is so difficult for you, you can't help if you have the heart. ”
"How much does it cost for Auntie to heal a disease?" Jiang Xiaoqiao stopped his chopsticks and looked at Tongtong seriously: "If you value me as a friend, just tell me, and I'll call you." ”
"But you ......" Tongtong wanted to say and stopped.
Jiang Xiaoqiao understood what she meant.
In the more than ten years that she has grown up in the Jiang family, although she has no shortage of food and clothing, she is not a favored eldest lady. In addition to the necessary living expenses, Zhuang Minru refused to give her any extra pocket money. Tongtong didn't tell her that her mother was sick, probably because she was worried that Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't have much money and refused to burden her anymore.
Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes were a little sour for a while. She sighed and reached out to hold Tongtong's hand: "Tongtong, there is something I haven't dared to tell you. ”
After signing a contract, she became a stranger's wife, and if this kind of thing hadn't happened to her, I'm afraid she would have felt like a joke.
She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "My father's company needs capital turnover, so I signed a contract with Qingyuan Group. I am now Mo Jingyuan's wife. ”
Unexpectedly, I saw Tongtong's mouth grow: "You, you, you, you're not joking with me, are you?!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao nodded helplessly. "I've been struggling with whether or not to tell you if I'm coming. "The contracts were signed, and there was no regret. She was worried that Tongtong's fiery temper would kill the Jiang family directly and make a fuss.
Tongtong hasn't recovered yet. The name of Qingyuan Group is almost unknown to everyone, as for Mo Jingyuan, who is not seen by the dragon, she also knows a little, some people say that he is a young and promising handsome guy, and there are also rumors that he is an old and ugly obscene uncle - but according to the age of Master Mo, the latter's statement seems to be more accurate.
Just sell her flowery little girlfriend to an old man?!
I can't bear it!
Tongtong became angry and stood up suddenly. "I'll go find your parents to theorize!" Jiang Xiaoqiao hurriedly got up and pressed her down: "Tongtong, listen to me, it's actually not that bad." ”
"What is there to say?" Tongtong Xingxing's eyes widened, "You have been sold and you still have to help you count the money?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao was so anxious that she covered her mouth, embarrassingly ignoring the gazes of the people around her. "The contract says that I will divorce by agreement after three years, and Mo Jingyuan will buy me a house and a car, which is very good to me. "Although I haven't seen him in person.
"Then you are willing to waste three years of good youth in the Mo family?" Tongtong looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao in disbelief, really not knowing whether to say that she was optimistic or nervous.
"It's better than continuing to stay in the Jiang family. Jiang Xiaoqiao playfully stuck out his tongue.
Tongtong stopped making a sound, she was just angry that her best friend had let others bully her like this, but she also understood that things could not be changed.
"Do you mind if I share a table?" the clear male voice sounded pleasant and familiar.
Both were taken aback. When I looked up, I saw a smiling face with glasses. Well-dressed beasts. Four big words instantly popped out of Jiang Xiaoqiao's head.
"Ah, uh, don't mind. Tongtong blushed and opened his mouth first. The man in front of him has a handsome face, his light brown eyes under the gold wire glasses are clear and a little sharp, his thin lips are slightly pursed, and his smooth chin outlines a perfect arc.
is also a senior member of the Appearance Association, Tongtong secretly gave him a ninety score in his heart.
Jiang Xiaoqiao almost jumped up: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" the man raised an eyebrow and sat down. He smiled kindly at Tongtong on the other side: "Hello, my name is Xu Jinlang, and I am a friend of Miss Jiang." ”
"Who is friends with you?" Jiang Xiaoqiao gritted his teeth. This kind of man who is close to girls everywhere is definitely not a good thing.
Xu Jinlang blinked, noncommittal. Tongtong on the side laughed and stretched out his hand generously: "My name is An Tongtong." ”
Xu Jinlang shook hands with her: "Sure enough, the friends of beautiful women are also beautiful women." ”
Tongtong's face was red again. Xu Jinlang narrowed his eyes and looked at her playfully.
Jiang Xiaoqiao was no longer in the mood to continue eating, so he stood up with his bag: "Tongtong, let's go." ”
