Chapter 42: The Unacceptable Truth
Taking advantage of the fact that Sissi entered the fitting room with a few dresses, Jiang Xiaoqiao walked out and breathed a sigh.
There weren't many people in the mall, and she waited for Sissi boredly. Looking down at the bag in her hand, Sissi's eyes were still very good, but it was useless to her, and she had not been lucky enough to see the only object that could be sent out openly.
"Xiao Qiao?" A surprised voice broke her thoughts, Jiang Xiaoqiao turned around, and Tongtong, who had not seen her for many days, stood behind her.
Tongtong's complexion looked much better than a few days ago, she was wearing a hot short skirt, and her fair legs looked even more slender against the background of twelve-centimeter high heels. Carrying a couple of shopping bags in his hand. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Noticing that Tongtong's gaze swept over her face, she turned to the bags of the two men's clothing brands she was carrying, and there was a little more inquiry in her eyes. Jiang Xiaoqiao explained awkwardly: "I accompanied Sissi to help her boyfriend choose, and she was still interviewing clothes." ”
Tongtong said "oh", approached again and smiled: "Long time no see, Xiao Qiao, there have been some things at home recently, and I haven't been able to go to work." I don't know if Director Xue forced the design department to work overtime again?"
As she spoke, she took Jiang Xiaoqiao's hand affectionately, as if there had been countless nights when the two of them had gone shopping and chatting together. Jiang Xiaoqiao was stunned, and Tongtong's smile was as sincere and warm as ever. Her nose suddenly soured.
Xu noticed Jiang Xiaoqiao's expression, and a trace of guilt flashed on Tongtong's face.
"Xiao Qiao, I've thought about it seriously in the past two days. I think I was a little too much in the previous matter," Tongtong looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao seriously, "Xiao Qiao, let's let go of the previous misunderstanding, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao met her sincere gaze, and the empty part of her heart that had been empty for a few days was finally filled with some kind of warm feelings.
"Hmm. She smiled brightly.
Tongtong happily came up and hugged her, remembered something, and looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with concern: "I heard from others that the design drawings of your competition two days ago were stolen?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and said, "...... Well, presumably stolen by a competitor. ”
Tongtong didn't hide her surprise at all: "How could it be? Are you sure you didn't misplace yourself?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao shook his head: "Just put it in my suitcase." It can't disappear for no reason. ”
Tongtong looked at her distressedly: "No wonder you have been in a very low mood for the past two days." It made me feel guilty for many days, and I didn't know what to say. He held her hand again: "Don't be sad Xiao Qiao, you have done a good job, and the minister will definitely not blame you." ”
"Thank you Tongtong," Jiang Xiaoqiao looked up and smiled at her, "I've decided not to dwell on this matter anymore." It doesn't matter if you find out the truth, you can't find out. I'm happy to have you by my side right now. ”
When Qian Qian came out after trying on clothes, Tongtong had already left, she carried a large bag and a small bag, and patted Jiang Xiaoqiao's shoulder: "It's finally a complete merit, let's go!"
The two were about to walk into the elevator when Sissi's mobile phone rang suddenly. She took out her mobile phone, and Jiang Xiaoqiao glanced at the name of the caller ID on the screen: kiss her husband. Qian Qian ignored Jiang Xiaoqiao's disdainful eyes, and answered the phone in a voice that snorted and snorted: "Hey, what's wrong? Hey, I told you that I didn't use it...... Well, hehe, where are you?"
When Jiang Xiaoqiao walked out of the mall with Qianqian, he saw a tall and thin boy waiting there, and when he saw Qianqian waving desperately, he walked over, naturally took the things in Qianqian's hand, and smiled politely at Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Jiang Xiaoqiao smiled back. Sissi took his hand and bounced away, and she could faintly hear her coquettishness: "After a night of shopping, I'm tired to death." There were also boys' whispers of comfort and laughter.
The scene is somewhat familiar. When Licheng didn't agree to be with her in college, once she was soft and hard, and finally made Licheng nod impatiently and agree to accompany her out shopping.
Seventeen-year-old Jiang Xiaoqiao is still a minor, but she is eager to try the slightly mature clothes in the mall, because she remembers Licheng telling her that he likes "mature" girls. She excitedly took a lot of clothes to try on, and Licheng frowned and shook her head at each one.
Later, she finally tried a dress, Licheng's expression didn't seem to be so irritable, she wanted to buy it, but she looked at the price tag on the tag and put it down. I didn't think that Licheng took it out again with a black face, walked straight to the cashier and paid the money, and threw it to her: "Take it yourself." ”
At that time, Jiang Xiaoqiao was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that it was the first time Licheng had given her something. She took her clothes in her arms like a baby and jumped out the door. Next to him was Licheng's disdainful snort: "Little girls are easy to satisfy." ”
Jiang Xiaoqiao that night was even smiling in his sleep. She kept the dress cherished in the back of the closet until they were separated, and then she threw it away with other things.
Licheng has not appeared in Jiang Xiaoqiao's memories for a long time. It's the first time I think about it so naturally after breaking up with him. The previous scene seems to be covered with a vague veil, and it is difficult to see clearly, but the tentacles are real warmth. Although they have long been strangers, they have truly experienced a good time between them.
Now that I think about it, the hatred I had when I found him and Jiang Beibei has disappeared when I don't know when it has disappeared.
The shadows of the trees outside the car window flickered and flickered alternately, Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at the lights that were gradually moving away, and smiled slightly.
The famous high-end private club "Imperial Garden" in the downtown area.
The beautifully decorated box was filled with smoke and a mess of glasses and plates. The people at the wine table did not mean to leave, and when they passed by the door, they could hear the whispered chatter and laughter inside and the charming voice of the woman.
Several men sat around the table, one of whom was a middle-aged man with gray hair, holding a young woman wearing delicate smoky makeup in his arms. The woman smiled sekingly and was holding up her glass to the man's lips.
"Mr. Mo has a lot of nobles, and I haven't even seen a shadow these days, so I finally invited you to come today, but I have to pay a few more drinks. Next to him, the slightly balding man picked up his glass and smiled.
The middle-aged man took a sip of the wine glass in the woman's hand in his arms, and then smiled helplessly: "There are a lot of nobles there, and I have nothing to do." ”
"What do you mean!" another thin man, who looked to be no more than forty years old, picked up, looked at the door again, and said in a low voice, "I heard two days ago that he showed up in Paris?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze, and he immediately smiled: "Mr. Wang is well-informed. ”
"I don't care about my friends. The man known as "Mr. Wang" waved his hand and pretended to take a sip of liquor inadvertently, "Aren't you busy again when he appears?" ”
The middle-aged man's expression was faint and he didn't speak again. The woman beside him sensed that his mood was wrong, and smiled and wanted to persuade him to have another glass of wine, but was frightened back by his cold gaze.
Mo Jingyuan stood in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling window of the office, where the view was very good, and the most prosperous area of Banyan City was in full view. When Qingyuan bought this land for office building, it was also considered that it was the economic center of Rongcheng's future development. Of course, the price spent is unimaginably high.
He wore only one shirt, and his blazer was casually thrown on the couch in the corner of the office. Very finely trimmed sideburns set off his angular face. His deep dark eyes stared out the window, thoughtful.
When Lewen walked into the office, he saw such a scene.
He coughed cautiously, and when he saw Mo Jingyuan tilting his head slightly, he said, "Mr. Mo." ”
When no one is around, Lewen is always used to calling him "Mr. Mo", but the meaning of these two words is completely different from "Minister" and "Young Master Mo".
Mo Jingyuan didn't turn around, the teacup in his hand was already cold, but he didn't move. His eyes faintly swept over the endless stream of vehicles and crowds on the road downstairs, and there was no trace of waves in his cold eyes.
Say. ”
Le Wencai said: "Over there in Haitianjingyuan, please come over for dinner on the weekend." ”
"Haitianjing Garden" is the name of a high-end residential area in Rongcheng. Every time Lewen mentions it, it represents the people who live there.
Ying Ting's eyebrows twisted, Mo Jingyuan turned around and put down the cup, but did not speak.
"I'm making an excuse to refuse?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lewen said tentatively.
"No need. Mo Jingyuan lowered his head and muttered for a while, then spoke.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lewen's eyes. immediately hid his emotions, bowed his head and said, "Got it." In addition, the last time you asked me to investigate, we already have a rough result. Just ......"
"When did you become such a mother-in-law?" Mo Jingyuan frowned.
Le Wen hesitated a little, but still spoke: "The result is a little surprising, but it should be basically certain." Here are the evidence and photos. As he spoke, he handed over a stack of materials.
Mo Jingyuan took it and flipped through it casually, and a few photos sandwiched in it came into view. His movements paused, and there was no trace of emotion on his cold face.
I looked up at the window. It was the time to get off work, and there were people coming out of the door of the company. Although he couldn't see it clearly from a high place, Mo Jingyuan still recognized Jiang Xiaoqiao at a glance who walked out with a smile and a smile on his feet. He stared at the two men walking side by side, a cold anger in his eyes.
"This is the ...... What should I do?" looked at his face and couldn't help but hesitate. The result of the matter really surprised him, and he didn't know what Mo Jingyuan would think.
Mo Jingyuan threw the document in his hand on the table, and just as he wanted to speak, he paused again and said lightly: "Don't deal with it for the time being." Lewen said he understood and walked out.
Mo Jingyuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and watched Jiang Xiaoqiao get into the taxi after saying goodbye to the people around him, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message.
