Chapter 464: Detective Old Joe
Xiaoting's worries are not unfounded.
In the evening, a long-distance phone call from the UK confirmed that Xiaoting was not scaring herself, because the call was from another girl from China who lived next door to her.
"Xiaoting, Uncle Pan came to look for you today, and when you were not there, he asked me where you went......" the girl said in the phone.
Uncle Pan is the common landlord of the girl and Xiaoting, and a good business partner of Xiaoting's father. After Xiaoting went to England to study, he was entrusted by Qiao Yuanfan to often "take care" of Xiaoting's life.
Xiao Ting couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the news. "And what did you say?" she asked hurriedly.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm clever!" said the girl, "I said you went on a short trip with your friends, and I don't know where you're going, and I don't know when you'll be back...... Uncle Pan saw that I didn't know what to ask, so he left very depressed. ”
"It's okay......" Xiaoting let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you for helping me hide from Uncle Pan, and I will definitely bring you something delicious when I go back!"
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Ting couldn't help but worry, it seems that her parents have never relaxed their monitoring of themselves, and it may be difficult to stay by Xiao Nan's side for a long time, what should I do?
"Your dad sent someone to check the room again?" asked Xia Longfei, who had been bowing his head and brushing his hand machine next to him.
Xiao Ting gave him a blank look and ignored him. Since the embarrassing scene on the street, Xiaoting and Xia Longfei always feel all kinds of awkwardness when they get along, especially don't want to see him, but this guy is always by his side.
Xia Longfei was deflated again, shrugged his shoulders and continued to bow his head to brush his hand. In fact, he has been regretting it, why did he have to flirt with his sister at such a juncture, it seems that he has been cheapened and has to speak lightly, it is really sick......
At this moment, Xia Longfei's mobile machine also rang, and he suddenly became nervous when he saw the number of the mobile machine, because that number belonged to Xiaoting's father Qiao Yuanfan!
"Your father!" Xia Longfei pointed to his hand: "Do you want to pick it up?"
Xiao Ting was frightened stupidly, and quickly shook her head, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to answer and nodded again, causing Xia Longfei's fingers to almost be wrong.
"Then I'll take it~" Xia Longfei said, Xiao Ting looked at him in horror and nodded again.
Xia Longfei swiped his fingers to connect the words, and at the same time made a silent gesture to Xiao Ting with his fingers. "Hey ......"
"Hey, hello, it's Xiao Xia...... " Xiao Ting's father's familiar voice came from the phone, Xia Longfei pressed the speakerphone, so that Xiao Ting could also hear it.
"Ah, hello uncle, do you have anything to do with me?" Xia Longfei tried to show his tone softly.
"Long Fei...... How have you been in the UK lately?" Qiao Yuanfan didn't get straight to the point, although the two people who listened to the phone knew that he must be not a good person.
"It's okay, I went around Scotland during the summer vacation and just came back...... No, school has just opened, and it's time to cheer up after being lazy for so long......"
Xia Longfei and Xiaoting's father Qiao Yuanfan didn't have a greeting, and the two people who listened to the electricity here could feel that Qiao Yuanfan was not here. Sure enough, after a few words, Lao Qiao turned the topic to his daughter.
"Hmm...... Has Tingting been in contact with you recently?"
Hmph, sure enough, it's back to the point! Xia Longfei looked at Xiao Ting, and Xiao Ting nodded again and again.
"Oh, Sister Xiaoting is still like that, she never takes the initiative to call me...... But I do call her a lot, yes! I just talked to her this morning......
"Oh, did she tell you anything interesting?" asked Old Joe.
Xiao Ting's big cat eyes immediately stared at Xia Longfei, for fear that this guy would leak his mouth. "At that time, Xiaoting's sister was not where she lived, and she went on a short trip with a few friends. ”
"Oh, did she tell you about going there for a short trip?" asked Old Joe.
"Not really...... Uncle Qiao, you also know that Xiaoting's sister has always avoided me, and she never refused to ask her to go out with me, so she will never tell me where she went, just afraid that if I run over to find her......" Xia Longfei took the opportunity to pour bitter water on Old Qiao, so angry that Xiaoting glared at him with her eyes.
"Tingting, she was spoiled by the two of us, she has been very willful since she was a child, and she has a little temper, girl...... Uncle Qiao knows that you like my Tingting, but you have to be patient when chasing girls, and don't be in a hurry when you chase girls......"
Lao Qiao actually gave Xia Longfei a love class, and Xiao Ting on the side was ashamed and annoyed, her face flushed, but she didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two, so she could only stare at her eyes and flatten her mouth, and listen angrily.
The two chatted for a while, probably because they felt that they couldn't get more news from Xia Longfei, and Lao Qiao finally hung up the phone after a few more greetings.
Xiao Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to settle accounts with Xia Longfei, when suddenly her own telephone bell rang, and the screen of the mobile phone showed an old photo of Lao Qiao holding Xiao Ting on her shoulder when she was young.
Her father was not the first to call her, but first asked Uncle Pan to "visit" her at the residence, and when he couldn't find anyone, he asked the girl next door, and then called Xia Longfei's phone...... It wasn't until I asked a circle of people that I finally called her, what does this mean?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ting was shocked - could it be that in the morning, she had already been seen by her father? No, it was so far away!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Fortunately, Lao Qiao did not ask her where she ran as soon as Xiao Ting was worried, but told her that the girl's house should pay attention to safety outside, and if she traveled, she should not be alone, and she must be with her classmates and friends......
Xiaoting listened to it for a long time and finally figured out the taste - it seems that her father has not begun to suspect her for the time being, so many small actions before, probably because he really saw something from a distance at the intersection in the morning, but he didn't see it in a flash, and he couldn't be sure if it was his daughter, so he took great pains to ask for information everywhere......
"Dad~~ Okay, people are not children...... "Selling cute + coquettish is Xiaoting's most effective martial arts weapon to deal with her father, and after a lot of rhetoric, she finally coaxed Lao Qiao to hang up the phone with satisfaction.
"Whew...... It's really dangerous......" Xiaoting patted her heart and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, she was as frightened as a thief at the end of the day, and she felt that she was about to be scared out of her mental illness.
"I heard all the words just now...... "Huzi, who went to Xiao's balcony to smoke, didn't know when he came back, he changed his usual hanging, and said to Xiaoting with a serious expression: "Xiaoting, I think it's better for you to go back to the UK......"
"Why!" Xiao Ting asked rather dissatisfied. "Now is the time when Xiao Nan needs someone by her side the most, how can I ......?"
"You're not right, Xiao Nan doesn't need us at all now. Huzi looked at Xiao Nan, who was bandaged like a mummy on the bed in the ICU ward, and said word by word: "What she needs now is professional medical staff, not our longing eyes! A few of us have been outside for so long, has it played any role?"
"But......" Xiaoting still wanted to refute, but Huzi interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"I know you're worried about her, Cheng Xiaonan may be the most important person in the world to you, so you can't rest assured of her...... But you have to know the risk you are taking now, once you are found by your parents to return to China without permission, you don't know what it means to you and to Cheng Xiaonan!"
Huzi's words actually said to Xiao Ting, who is usually sharp-tongued, and Huzi saw that she seemed to listen, and said: "Listen to me, you go back to the UK to go to school hard, it's enough for me here." Don't forget, Cheng Xiaonan is also my most important ......"
Hmm! Xia Longfei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed to have found something amazing.
"Friend......" Huzi paused, but such a word popped out of his mouth that made Xia Longfei quite disappointed.
"So don't worry, I won't abandon him under any circumstances!"
