Chapter 276: Old Joe's Invitation
It was not the first time Qiao Yuanfan had met "Xiaolan", but the first few times were at night, only this time it was at dusk when it was not yet dark, and with the sunset that was about to end, he was able to look at the girl in front of him more clearly than the previous times.
After a not too adequate investigation, Lao Qiao did not hear anything about "Xiaolan" In fact, this can't blame the private detective he commissioned for not doing things well, because this private detective is better at investigating in the business field, especially for digging into the background and black history of some companies, because they have a wide range of interpersonal relationships in the business circle of Z City, through these intertwined connections, they can find out what has happened in the darkest corner of the business world, but let them investigate an ordinary girl who doesn't even know her full name, even if this girl looks like a fairy, for private detectives who haunt the business circle all day longLet them find a person among the hundreds of thousands of young girls in Z City and figure out all kinds of information about her, which is as difficult as finding the only grain of rice in the middle of a bag of rice.
So until now, Lao Qiao's information about "Xiaolan" is still limited to "making sure that there is no such character in the city library, including the libraries of all counties and districts in the city, and even the internal libraries of major institutions, there is no young girl named Xiaolan". As for whether the name "Xiaolan" is a real name or a fake name, where she lives, where she works, what her family situation is, and what her social background is, Lao Qiao still doesn't know anything.
Despite this, Lao Qiao can already be sure that the beautiful girl in front of her, who is quite similar to her daughter, and whose relationship with her daughter is suspected to be beyond the boundaries of ordinary girlfriends, must have hidden many important things from him, otherwise, why is the panic that flashes in her eyes and tries her best to hide? Moreover, whenever she asks her daughter about Xiaolan Qiren, her daughter's very abnormal impatience and evasive attitude just confirms her intuition.
Therefore, Lao Qiao is not in a hurry to "confront" this mysterious Xiaolan face to face, he has to wait until he has enough evidence in his hand before breaking through the opponent's psychological defense in one fell swoop, besides, even if this girl and her daughter have any feelings beyond friendship, but what can the two little girls do to each other? It is better to slowly let her relax her vigilance first, and after asking some valuable information, it is easier to do a directional investigation on her......
"Are you here to play with my Tingting?" Old Qiao asked Xiao Nan with a pleasant face: "She hasn't gotten off work today, and it is estimated that she should go home in a while...... By the way, aren't you from the same unit as her? Why aren't you with Tingting?"
Xiao Nan chuckled in her heart for a moment, she hadn't said anything yet, Xiao Ting's father's question had already pointed to the flaw in her hidden true identity. "It's not...... I have a turn off today...... Xiao Nan's reaction is not slow: "I just went to run errands, and I happened to pass by here, and I happened to meet my aunt walking the dog here......"
"Oh, it's just a chance encounter...... "Lao Qiao suddenly realized, he looked at Xiao Nan's feet wagging his tail to her pleasing puppy Bai Xue, obviously his dog is very familiar with this girl, and it will only be in this state when he is with his family, but in his impression, "Xiaolan" has never visited the door, and it stands to reason that the puppy should not be so affectionate with her......
"Yes, Uncle Qiao, it's really a coincidence...... Xiaolan bent down and touched the puppy's head: "I didn't expect Bai Xue to pounce on my lap as soon as I stopped to answer the phone......"
Liu Juan, who was half a beat slower to react, didn't figure out until this time that the girl who pounced on her puppy was the girl she had twice bumped into and hugged her baby daughter. Hearing Lao Qiao say that this girl was not her daughter's colleague at all, this made Liu Juan feel some kind of inexplicable danger, so she had a strong vigilance against "Xiaolan".
"Oh...... It turns out that you are Xiaolan......" Liu Juan smiled: "I heard Tingting say that you are her very good friend, no wonder my puppy is as affectionate as seeing Tingting when he sees you......"
"Yes, I ...... Ting'er and I" Although Xiao Nan couldn't see any flaws in the Qiao family's old couple from her expression, she still felt some kind of dangerous intuition. "It's a good relationship......"
"Since you have met, why don't you go and sit at home for a while?" Old Qiao said to Xiao Nan with a smile on his face: "It is estimated that Tingting will come back from work in a while, how about we have dinner together......?"
Xiao Nan was shocked, now that Xiao Ting was not around, if she followed Lao Qiao and his wife to Xiao Ting's house, maybe these two would ask her something, and she couldn't tell her a word if she didn't pay attention...... Although the Qiao family and his wife are the beneficiaries of that "ceremony", Xiao Nan is not worried about what unfavorable actions they will make to him once he reveals the secret of his transformation, but I am afraid that the relationship between himself and Xiao Ting will also come to an end early because of this......
"No need Uncle Qiao, I still have something to do today, I have to go first......" Xiao Nan politely refused: "I'll play at your house again if it's okay another day......
A look of disappointment flashed from Lao Qiao's eyes, he nodded lightly, and said with some regret: "Since there is still something to do, then uncle and aunt will not force you to stay, anyway, it will be Tingting's birthday in a few days, and your aunt and I plan to hold a birthday party for her, as Tingting's good friend, you must come to have fun then!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"You agreed?" Xiao Ting put down the lemonade in her hand and raised her head to stare at Xiao Nan's eyes across the table.
"Yes......" Xiao Nan stopped the knife and fork in her hand to cut the steak, her eyes hidden behind her long bangs, full of worry about this birthday party. "I had a gut feeling that if I refused on the spot, your parents would be even more suspicious of me. ”
"That'...... Are you really going to go?" asked Xiaoting.
"It's all agreed...... Xiao Nan finished cutting the steak on her plate, and pushed the plate down to Xiao Ting's side, wanting to replace the uncut part of Xiao Ting's plate, but Xiao Ting reached out to stop it, and gently pushed back the one she had cut.
"Okay, I'll do it myself......" Xiaoting said: "You don't have to take care of me everywhere in the future, you have to learn to take care of yourself first......"
Xiao Nan looked at the plate that was pushed back and was silent. "Actually...... If you go, you will go, even if my parents find out the truth, what can you do? Even if they expose you in public with no conscience, who would believe such an absurd story?" Xiao Ting picked up the knife and fork and cut the steak by herself, and said to Xiao Nan while cutting: "So, you can put a hundred hearts!" Besides, although my parents are a bit snobbish, in the end they are still good-hearted, with my understanding of them, once they find out your secret, they should still feel more guilty, and then they will definitely think about how to compensate you first, instead of thinking about how to expose you to the public so that you have nowhere to hide, this is the most basic self-confidence of my daughter......"
Xiao Nan nodded, shook his head again, and sighed softly: "I'm worried...... It's not this ...... at all."
"Then what are you worried about?" Xiao Ting put down the knife and fork and looked at Xiao Nan who looked hesitant in front of her, but Xiao Nan consciously avoided her gaze, turned her head to look at the busy street outside the Western restaurant through the glass window, and gently bit her lip without saying a word.
Suddenly, an extremely bright light flashed on the glass window, Xiao Nan looked for the source of the light, and saw a rickety white pedal sheep driving in the distance, the driver seemed to be a girl, and there was a boy in the back seat. The girl who drove the car looked like a novice, and even such a light little sheep drove as if she was drunk, and if it weren't for the boy in the back seat who stretched out his feet to help her balance every time she was in a pinch, I don't know how many times she had fallen along the way.
The white sheep ran closer and closer, despite the thick window pane, Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting still judged from the exhaust sound of the engine that this was a DIOZ4, and then the car flashed in front of their eyes, this time Xiao Nan saw clearly, the girl driving was Li Xia at the front desk of their company, and the boy in the back seat was Yun Feiyang who had taken off his police uniform, and they sat down in this DIO, which was the one that Xiao Nan transferred out.
Xiao Nan's eyes have been chasing the lovers, obviously Li Xia is learning how to drive the DIOZ4, which is much more powerful than an electric car, under the guidance of Yun Feiyang, although her movements are still very rusty and restrained, but her face is full of happy smiles, and Yun Feiyang behind her gently hugs her delicate waist, and her face is also full of happiness.
It wasn't until the red taillights of DIOZ4 were completely submerged in the traffic on the street that Xiao Nan turned her head with melancholy, and as soon as she turned her face, a large piece of steak was tied by a fork and almost reached her face.
"Come, open your mouth~" Xiaoting smiled: "Sister feeds you meat~"
Xiao Nan smiled helplessly, wanted to refuse Xiao Ting but didn't follow, quickly looked left and right and found that no one noticed them, and quickly grew his mouth to bite the steak on the fork, but he didn't expect the steak to suddenly turn a corner and be eaten by Xiao Ting herself.
"You, you, you, dead girl, you dare to play with me!" Xiao Nan felt angry and funny, and the depression that had been accumulated in his heart just now was temporarily thrown aside.
"I know what you're worried about......" Xiao Ting said to Xiao Nan while munching on the delicious steak, "Are you afraid that my parents will break up the two of us if they know the truth?" she said as she put down the knife and fork in her hand, pulled up the cuffs of her long hollow sweater, revealing her small hand as soft as jade, and showed the pink knife mark in her palm to Xiao Nan.
"Don't forget, the two of us are lovers who once had blood and soul blending!" she took Xiao Nan's right hand again, pulled Xiao Nan's palm out of her sleeve like a bamboo shoot leaf, and gently put the palms of the two together.
"Even if the two of us can't be together, there's no way for the two of us to be separated, and no one can do it!"
