Chapter 22: Don't Meddle in My Business Again
Walking out of the fried shop, Jiang Xiaoqiao walked forward depressedly, and Tongtong beside her curiously pulled her: "Xiao Qiao, did you know that boy just now?"
"I met someone in the bar, and I talked to a girl everywhere, saying that I was a psychiatrist," Jiang Xiaoqiao pouted, "It's definitely not a good person." ”
"But he seems to be quite kind. "The point is to be handsome, handsome!
How could Jiang Xiaoqiao not know what his best friend was thinking. I wonder if she was also because of her stepson's face, she fell into hatred for eternity, what's the use of being handsome, it will only cause her trouble!
"Anyway, this person seems dangerous, so it's better to deal less with him. Thinking about her own painful experience, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Understood, understood," Tongtong raised his hand and flicked his long curvy hair, and smiled playfully: "Just to see how handsome he looks, ask casually." I'm not interested in him. He threw a flying kiss at Jiang Xiaoqiao again: "With such an eye-catching cute person as you, how can you still have the heart to find a handsome guy." ”
Saying that, an empty taxi has driven in front of him. Jiang Xiaoqiao knew that Tongtong still had to go to the hospital to help her mother get medicine, so she pushed her to get into the car first, thought about it and took out a card from her pocket and stuffed it into Tongtong's hand.
"You can use this money first, and I'll call you some later. Say hello to my aunt for me, and I'll see her when she's better. ”
Tongtong hurriedly stretched out his hand and wanted to push it back, but saw Jiang Xiaoqiao's mouth move: The old man's money is not in vain.
She couldn't help but laugh and waved out the car window, but her eyes were a little red.
Jiang Xiaoqiao walked alone on the side of the road, and he didn't really want to go home immediately. The weather in early summer has not yet begun to heat up, and the sun at noon is not very strong, but it is warm. The acacia trees beside the road have already bloomed, and the scent of flowers fills the air. She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes comfortably.
A white sports car slowed down beside her, and the occupants rolled down the windows and greeted her familiarly: "Hey, what a coincidence, we're meeting again." ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao ignored him and walked forward quickly.
"Do you want me to send you home?" Xu Jinlang asked persistently.
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked up at the sky and rolled his eyes: this person's skin is probably thicker than the corner of the city wall. "Don't bother you, thanks. ”
"Where is your home? City or suburbs? Oh, by the way, would you like to come to my place for a consultation when you have time? Or I can go to your house." ”
"Are you finished?" Jiang Xiaoqiao was not angry, and his pretty eyebrows twisted irritably.
Xu Jinlang was not angry, he was still smiling: "Did you encounter trouble again? Or is it because of the man last time?"
My knee hurts. After being told the central matter several times, Jiang Xiaoqiao thought with tears in her eyes that probably the ambiguous matter between her and her stepson would soon be revealed.
will definitely be swept out of the house by Mo Jingyuan and sleep on the streets. Or work as a maid in his house for the rest of her life, sweep the floor and do laundry, serve tea and water. She shivered silently, and the miserable life she imagined seemed to be close at hand.
Xu Jinlang looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao's instantly depressed face with amusement, this girl was poked in her heart, and she didn't know what mess she was thinking about.
"If you like it, you should fight for it, if you can't live according to your own heart, then it's not interesting for people to live. Xu Jinlang curled the corners of his lips, "But I believe that a cheerful and kind girl like you will definitely find her own happiness." ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao chuckled, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was to himself or Xu Jinlang: "You also believe this?"
Xu Jinlang looked at the distance and didn't know where to go, and said lightly: "Psychotherapy is just an external cause after all, and a person's fate is determined by himself." In a blink of an eye, he changed to a wolf-like smile with a big tail: "You really don't want to get in the car?"
"Don't. Jiang Xiaoqiao glared at him, and the little goodwill that had just risen was gone.
"Forget it. Xu Jinlang spread his hands helplessly, "I just want to remind you that your friend is better not to trust him too much." ”
Friend? refers to Tongtong? Jiang Xiaoqiao was angry. "Tongtong is my best friend who has known her for more than four years, you have only seen her once, what qualifications do you have to say that?"
Her eyes widened and her cheeks puffed out, but in the eyes of others, she was a different kind of cuteness. Rao is Xu Jinlang has seen a lot of girls, and he can't help but take his eyes off it.
Touching his nose with some embarrassment, Xu Jinlang coughed lightly and said, "I'm just kindly reminding you that there is no malice." ”
She didn't believe that this Sven scum with gold wire glasses could have any good intentions. Jiang Xiaoqiao snorted heavily and turned to leave. Sven scum looked at her departing back and watched for a while before slowly starting the car.
When I went to work on Monday, I really didn't see Mo Andy. A group of older single female white-collar workers got together and chattered, and the longing for the leader was endless, and as soon as Jiang Xiaoqiao walked into the office, a sense of spring rushed to her face.
The spring of Sichun.
Before she could sit down, she was pulled over excitedly: "Little Joe, do you know where the minister went today?"
"Yes, yes, people are so bored on Saturdays and Sundays, just waiting to go to work today to see the male god!"
In an instant, a large circle of people surrounded Jiang Xiaoqiao, and there were expectant eyes all around. She let out a long sigh, completely desperate for this face-watching world. "I don't know, maybe it's a business trip. ”
She regretted it after saying that. Sure enough, the people around him boiled: "I just said that Xiao Qiao knows, right?" "What does it have to do with the minister, even to bring a cup of tea and send a document, you are named?"
I said he was my son, do you believe it? Jiang Xiaoqiao's face was unspeakable: "I really don't know, guess, you can ask Lewen." ”
"If you don't work hard, what are you doing here?" Xue Jun, the supervisor, came over when he heard the movement, frowned and reprimanded, "Do you still want to work overtime?"
A group of people scattered in a daze. Director Xue is notoriously difficult to speak in the company, and whoever wants to be caught by her in the wrong place can be called to the office for an hour or two in a row. Jiang Xiaoqiao had also learned her power, but he was extremely grateful to her at the moment.
Back in his seat, Jiang Xiaoqiao habitually glanced at his mobile phone, but his heart sank suddenly.
There were several missed calls, all of them with the same number. When she was young and ignorant, she also added the note "Dad" in front of that number, although she knew that he didn't like her illegitimate daughter, but she still had a little childish fantasy.
Now the remarks of that number are only a simple "Jiang".
I don't know what happened this time, she actually wanted to get rid of that family, but fate always made her have the slightest connection with the people in that family. From Jiang Beibei and Licheng, to this father who is related by blood but has no father-daughter affection.
After getting off work, the call came again, Jiang Xiaoqiao hesitated for a long time, but still pressed the answer button.
"Little Joe, do you have time to come home for dinner in the evening?"
She was a little surprised, she used to hide from other people in the Jiang family, let alone sit down to eat together, and the Jiang family was even more blind to her. Now married to the Mo family, Jiang Weimin suddenly asked her to go back for dinner.
"Forget it, I'll just go home and eat. She instinctively refused, and unconsciously regarded the house that Mo Jingyuan gave her as her "home".
Jiang Weimin smiled awkwardly: "Come back, I haven't been here for a long time, and Dad wants to see you too." ”
Yes, since the farce of the last engagement banquet, Jiang Xiaoqiao has never set foot in the Jiang family again.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't insist. Maybe her father finally stopped rejecting her so much, after all, she no longer lived in the Jiang family and no longer spent his money.
Jiang Xiaoqiao stood at the door of the Jiang family's magnificent villa, raised his hand and knocked on the door. I remember coming here for the first time when I was a child, and I was so shocked by the luxurious style of the Jiang family that I couldn't speak. It turns out that she has such a powerful father. It was only later that I realized that no matter how gorgeous this house is, it is not a home after all, and even if my father has the same surname as me, he is not my father after all.
When she came back to her senses, Jiang Weimin actually came out to open the door in person, and when he saw her, he smiled and let her in.
The meal had been arranged, Zhuang Minru was sitting at the table, and when he saw Jiang Xiaoqiao walking in, his disgust flashed, but he put on a hypocritical smile and didn't smile: "Xiao Qiao is here?" While asking the maid to call Jiang Beibei downstairs: "Go and call the eldest lady to come down, she has been shopping for a day today, so she needs to eat more." ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao sat down uncomfortably and saw Jiang Beibei coming down the stairs. Her body has not yet shown her pregnancy, and she has not seen her for a few days, but she is a little haggard again, but her eyes are as sharp as ever when she looks at Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Jiang Xiaoqiao's mood couldn't help but improve. On the side, Jiang Weimin beckoned everyone to start eating, Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't want to say much to him, just chewed the food in his mouth absentmindedly.
Jiang Weimin coughed and said, "Xiao Qiao, let Mr. Mo come to the house another day." We're a family, and we haven't seen each other since we got married. ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't raise his head: "He's very busy with work." ”
A trace of anger flashed across Jiang Weimin's face, and he immediately held back and said, "Then take his time, haha." When there is time, let Licheng and Beibei, you and Mr. Mo, the three of us get together together. ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao sneered, and then understood the reason why Jiang Weimin asked her to come back for dinner. But for the sake of his precious daughter's future in-law, he came to the Mo family.
She was completely chilled, and the last trace of blood affection was annihilated.
"It's okay for me to go to Mo Jingyuan, but you have to promise me one condition. Jiang Xiaoqiao stared at Jiang Weimin coldly, "I don't care who your daughter likes to sleep with, don't provoke the person I like." You Jiang family, don't meddle in my affairs again. ”
Turning his head and glancing at Zhuang Minru, who had an ugly face: "Including you." ”
