Chapter 54: The Honey Knife
Shi Xia instantly understood something.
Grabbed Qiao Jin Sheng, stuffed the handbag that Qiao Jin Sheng gave her when he got out of the car back into his hand, and turned his head to leave.
Qiao Jin Sheng also found the strange woman in the house, and grabbed Shi Xia's hand with his backhand, with displeasure in his low voice: "I didn't know there were outsiders at home." ”
Knowing that he won't be coming back!
Shi Xia also knew that he shouldn't lose his temper at him, but he was holding back the fire in his heart.
At this time, Mrs. Qiao came out of the back room when she heard the movement, saw Qiao Jin Sheng and Qiao Lina standing at the door, and asked strangely, "What are you doing standing at the door?" ”
Qiao Jin Sheng took the opportunity to drag Shi Xia in: "Grandma, look who's coming." ”
Shi Xia was pushed in front of people, so he could only greet Mrs. Qiao with a hard head, and shouted sweetly: "Grandma." ”
Old Mrs. Qiao was overjoyed: "Xia Xia is here." ”
Qiao Jinsheng took the opportunity to stuff the handbag back into Shi Xia's arms and pushed her back: "Grandma, Xia Xia brought you a gift, see if you like it or not." ”
Shixia: "......"
What is called riding a tiger is difficult, she is now.
Changed my slippers and went inside.
Old Mrs. Qiao happily closed her mouth: "I am very happy that you can come to see me, an old lady, and I will break the bank." The old man's blame was mostly happy in his mouth, so he pulled Shi Xia to sit down on the sofa and patted Shi Xia's hand affectionately.
Shi Xia didn't see Qiao Jinsheng's mother around the time, and asked, "Auntie is not at home?"
The old lady doted on Qiao Jin Sheng: "Jin Sheng wants to eat durian crisp, the master at home is not as delicious as Hutchison, his mother is not worried about others to buy it, so she went in person." As he spoke, he thought in pieces: "This kid has never touched these things before, and now I don't know what's wrong." ”
Shi Xia was moved.
In fact, durian crisp is not Qiao Jin Sheng's change, but she likes to eat durian crisp.
The three of them talked and laughed, and snubbed the other two.
Jolina's face was a little uncomfortable.
But the other party is Qiao Jin Sheng, and he has the final say in all the big and small affairs of the Qiao family, and she doesn't dare to say anything serious, so she can only complain about Shi Xia in her heart. walked up to Qiao Jin Sheng and said flatteringly: "Jin Sheng, do you remember the last time my aunt told you that my friend has a daughter studying abroad? ”
Qiao Jinsheng threw the car keys on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes and walked inside, "I'm not interested in knowing people who don't matter." ”
Jolina: "......"
If you are an ordinary girl, you may not be able to stay stunned when you hear this.
But Cheng Jianing is not an ordinary girl.
She took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Qiao Jin Sheng, with a sense of superiority on her face that came from nowhere, and said righteously: "It's not right for Mr. Qiao to say that, you don't even know my name, how can you know, I'm an inconsequential person?"
Qiao Jin Sheng was indifferent.
didn't say a word and went directly into the living room, sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Shi Xia, put his hand on Shi Xia's shoulder, half hugged her and said, "Grandma, have you seen the gift, do you like it?"
Qiao Lina and Cheng Jianing: "......"
Shi Xia was also stunned.
is so blatant and doesn't give face, so Qiao Jin Sheng can do it.
I was a little happy in my heart.
Under the urging of Qiao Jinsheng, Mrs. Qiao opened the gift and saw that it was a silk scarf inside, which coincided with the gift chosen by Zhang's mother before Shi Xia.
Mrs. Qiao was full of love, and her joy was self-evident.
Qiao Jin Sheng's hand on Shi Xia's shoulder slid down her arm, wrapped her big warm hand around her little hand, and said in her ear, "Grandma really likes you." ”
Actually, he wants to say, I really like you too!
Qiao Jin Sheng didn't tell Shi Xia that today's party was his cousin Qiao Xiangnan's return from abroad.
Qiao Jinsheng's father is the third oldest among the brothers, with a total of five siblings. The eldest Qiao Changxing, the second Qiao Chucheng, as well as Qiao Lina and Qiao Xingcheng. Qiao Chucheng and his wife died in an accident in their early years, leaving their only son, Qiao Xiangnan. Qiao Xiangnan has been studying abroad all these years, and only comes back once in a while.
One after another, people entered the door.
The first thing I did when I came back was to visit the old lady.
Qiao Jin Sheng took advantage of someone to greet the old lady, and left the living room with Shi Xia and went to his bedroom. Close the door and press her against the door.
Shi Xia: "...... Why. ”
Qiao Jinsheng lowered his head, put his forehead against her forehead, and muttered: "I don't know that woman." ”
Shixia: "......"
The woman's ...... Thinking so in his heart, it can be seen that he is indifferent to other women, and he still can't help but be a little complacent. Holding his collar with his hand, he deliberately said with a straight face: "Do you recognize her, what does it have to do with me?"
Qiao Jinsheng said: "You are angry. ”
Shi Xia was surprised.
Because of one of her unhappy ones, he didn't even give his aunt's face. I felt more and more ignorant just now, and I stubbornly denied: "I didn't." ”
"Huh?"
The man stared at her palm-sized face, with a little helplessness on her noble face, more doting: "You almost threw something in my face, and you still said no?"
Shi Xia had no choice but to admit defeat: "What do you want?"
The man smiled, reached out and pinched her cheek, and suddenly became serious again: "I want everyone to know that you were brought back by me Qiao Jin Sheng." In this family, no matter who you are, you can't show your face. ”
After a pause, he said, "You can show me the face, provided that you don't turn around and leave." ”
Shi Xia was shocked.
Qiao Jin Sheng saw the surging emotions in her eyes, smiled, and slid his hand to her chin and squeezed it hard: "You just wanted to push me to another woman?"
Shi Xia was laughed at by him.
slapped his hand away, and the strong words were still with a somewhat coquettish tone: "A little fairy like us who is sensible and understanding, of course we can't destroy other people's good things." Your aunt wants to introduce you to a girlfriend, and I can't avoid it?"
Qiao Jin Sheng laughed angrily at her wording.
Burning eyes stared into her eyes: "May I ask this empathetic little fairy, did you understand my mood when you retreated just now?"
Shi Xia was speechless.
She really didn't take into account his feelings, she only thought about herself.
Qiao Jin Sheng didn't wait for her to explain, and said in a low voice: "Think about me next time." Before the voice fell, her lips fell and grabbed her lip.
Feeling ashamed, Shi Xia did not resist.
Wrap your arms around the man's neck and respond boldly.
Like all men and women in love, the fire is on the verge of breaking out, and I can't wait to waste a minute and just go to the topic. Qiao Jin Sheng hugged Shi Xia and threw him on the bed, and the person immediately pressed down.
Ripping open the hem of her dress, her hand reached in.
Shi Xia was broken by his hand, and his little hand fumbled to find the button of his shirt, trying to undo it. But the button that usually opens as soon as you pull it seems to be deliberately against her today, and she can't open it no matter how she pulls it.
In a hurry, the strength was too strong, and the button was torn off.
Qiao Jin Sheng's low hoarse laughter came from his ears: "The little fairy is so anxious?"
Shi Xia's face turned red.
Shamefully pulled the pillow to cover his face, and heard Qiao Jinsheng say, "I'm more anxious than you." One ripped open his shirt with all his might, and the buttons were pulled away and landed everywhere.
Throw away your shirt and take off the pillow that covers Shi Xia's face-
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a female voice sounded: "Jin Sheng, Mom will put the durian crisp for you ......"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Shi Xia had only one thought in his heart: it's over, his face is lost!
Qiao Jin Sheng reacted quickly, and pulled the blanket over to cover Shi Xia. turned over and got out of bed, his face was speechless and stopped: "Mom, why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"
It was Qiao Jinsheng's mother Yu Anhui who entered the door.
She is in her early forties, and she is well-maintained on weekdays, and there are almost no traces of age on her face. Unlike other noble ladies who are arrogant, she has an innate gentleness and affinity.
When I encountered this kind of thing at this time, my face was a little cramped.
How could she have thought that her cold son could be busy in the room during the day? After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence from her throat: "The meal is ready, let's go downstairs to eat." ”
Qiao Jinsheng pushed her to go: "Got it, Mom, I'll come in a while." ”
As soon as Yu Anhui went out, Qiao Jinsheng locked the door.
Shi Xia heard the sound of the door closing, and carefully exposed his face.
Qiao Jinsheng bent down to pick up her shirt, and couldn't help laughing when she looked worried, as if she had been caught doing something bad. stepped forward and rubbed the top of her hair: "Next time we'll change to a safe place." ”
Shi Xia was so angry that he hit his hand: "There is no next time!"
Qiao Jin Sheng didn't refute.
The shirt he had just worn was no longer available, so he got a new one from the closet and put it on his body.
Shi Xia also got off the bed and tidied up the clothes on his body. Fortunately, Qiao Jin Sheng didn't tear off her clothes savagely, otherwise she wouldn't have changed her clothes.
I inadvertently saw a handmade doll on the bookshelf.
It was placed in the middle, and the pink color did not match the rest of the bookshelf at all, as if it did not belong to the place at all, but had been omitted by its owner.
Something suddenly came to mind.
This figure seems to be a birthday gift given to her by Qiao Jinsheng when she was five or six years old. Later, she returned all the gifts that Qiao Jinsheng gave her, including this figure.
These, he didn't even throw them?
She clearly remembered that when she sent the things back, he threw them all into the trash in front of her.
Did he pick it up again?
It was raining heavily that day, and her eyes turned red at the thought of him braving the rain to rummage through the trash cans for these things.
Qiao Jin Sheng had already finished changing his clothes.
Seeing Shi Natsu, he stared intently at the figure on the shelf, and suddenly understood. Holding her shoulders and making her turn to herself, her face was dignified, and her voice was hoarse: "Do you regret giving it back to me?"
Shi Xia's heart was pantothenic: "What if it is?"
The man smiled: "Find a way to get it back." ”
The implication is that he won't return it to her easily.
Shi Xia let out a faint "oh".
Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Qiao Jin Sheng was a little unbearable: "If you want to take it back, I'll carry it for you when you leave in a while, and the rest of Duxi is also there." ”
stepped forward and took her into his arms: "But take it back this time, and you are not allowed to send it back." ”
Shi Xia didn't say anything.
Hold him tight.
Qiao Jin Sheng looked down at the little woman in his arms, and his eyes were more conniving.
Joe found out a lot about the past.
As Qiao Yi said, it has been too long, many clues have been broken, and it is not so easy to find out. But one thing Qiao Yi is sure of is that when he was tired of dealing with changes in his family, someone pretended to be him and did a lot of excessive things to Shi Xia.
It was these that led to the breakup between the two.
As for who did it, it is unknown.
When the two went downstairs, Qiao's family had already arrived. To Shi Xia's surprise, the woman Qiao Lina wanted to introduce to Qiao Jin Sheng was still there.
Not only is it here, but it also adapts well.
Coming in and out of the kitchen, helping to serve food to the table.
The Qiao family and the juniors all gathered around Mrs. Qiao, whether it was pretending or sincere, they were all around the old man and asking for warmth.
The elders sit and talk to the men on the one side and the women on the other.
She's the only one at work.
When Qiao Jin Sheng went downstairs, the elders all stood up to greet him.
People like the Qiao family are not completely respected and inferior according to the elders and young, but the people in power are big. Qiao Jin Sheng is at the helm of the Qiao family, so even if he is an elder, he is polite when he sees him.
They took the initiative to greet him.
Qiao Jin Sheng had long been used to it, and nodded indifferently.
The appearance of Qiao Jin Sheng broke the atmosphere in the house, Qiao Lina helped Mrs. Qiao to come over, and praised as she walked: "Mom, you see, it is also everyone's beautiful girl, Jianing, this child is diligent and generous." She has just come back from abroad and has not yet gone to work, so let her accompany her mother more in the future. ”
Old Mrs. Qiao answered lightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
Everyone is seated.
It happened that Cheng Jianing came over with a plate of caviar, and Qiao Lina greeted: "Jianing, put this plate in front of grandma, the old lady will take this bite." ”
Cheng Jianing hurriedly agreed.
Put the dishes in front of the old lady in a proper manner.
Old Mrs. Qiao didn't look at her, but pointed to the two empty seats next to her and said, "Jin Sheng, Xiao Xia, you two come and sit next to grandma." ”
Shi Xia looked at Qiao Jin Sheng.
Three of the five brothers of the Qiao family came, and more than a dozen people from the younger generations came. She is neither an elder nor a member of the Qiao family, so it doesn't seem appropriate to sit next to the old lady.
Qiao Jin Sheng could see her thoughts.
Qiao Lina also saw it, and pushed the boat down the river: "Mom, Shi Xia is willing to be next to Jin Sheng, just let them be next to him." Didn't you just say that you like to listen to Jianing? Let her sit next to you and talk to you. ”
In the process of greeting Jia Ning, she sat next to the old lady.
Old Mrs. Qiao looked at the person sitting on the right-hand side, and pointed to the left-hand side: "Xiao Xia just sit here, Jin Sheng often comes back, the old lady is tired of seeing it, let him sit with his uncles." ”
Shi Xia looked at Qiao Jin Sheng again.
Qiao Jinsheng nodded: "You accompany grandma." ”
Shi Xia said, "Okay." ”
Sit down on the left hand side of Old Lady Joe.
There are still two empty seats on the table, one next to Cheng Jianing and one between the two uncles.
Qiao Jin Sheng definitely wouldn't sit next to Cheng Jianing, just wanted to go to the two uncles, when Qiao Xiangnan, who was sitting on the side of Xia, got up and grabbed him: "Brother, I'll change with you, it just so happens that I have something to tell the third uncle." ”
Qiao Jinsheng nodded.
He picked up his used glass of water and ran over there to sit down.
Qiao Jin Sheng sat down beside Shi Xia.
Jolina was on fire.
Originally, she thought that Qiao Jinsheng would not be able to change her mind for a while, so she started with the old lady first, so that the old lady would like Cheng Jianing first.
With the pressure of the old lady, this matter is even a bit of a stroke.
As a result, the old lady also turned to Shixia.
Qiao Lina thought to herself, find a chance to try Yu Anhui's tone, Qiao Jin Sheng is her biological son, she always doesn't want her son to marry the daughter of a criminal and put the Qiao family in danger, right?
Just thinking about it, Yu Anhui came.
Mrs. Qiao asked dissatisfiedly: "The meal is ready, where are you going if you don't come to eat?"
The old lady is usually very easy-going, and Yu Anhui couldn't figure out where her fire came from for a while, so she responded with a smile: "Didn't Jin Sheng want durian crisp? I asked the store to make it freshly made, and I just sent it." ”
While changing his shoes, he said to the crowd, "You eat first, and I'll bring the snacks in." ”
Qiao Jin Sheng got up and followed her to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, Yu Anhui took out snacks and put them on the plate, but Qiao Jin Sheng said distressedly: "I just ordered my subordinates to buy this kind of thing in the future, why did I go by myself?"
Yu Anhui said: "I don't worry about others. ”
Looking back at the living room, a smile appeared on his face: "Have you reconciled with Xia Xia?"
At the mention of Shi Xia, Qiao Jin Sheng's eyes softened unconsciously, and Qiao Anhui said, "I know that you don't want to eat it yourself." Pointing to a individually wrapped bag: "I'll give you one more." ”
Qiao Jinsheng said, "Thank you, Mom." ”
The mother and son were talking, and Cheng Jianing pushed the door in: "Auntie, I'll help you." After speaking, without waiting for Yu Anhui's response, he walked over and helped Yu Anhui decorate the plate with snacks.
Qiao Jin Sheng immediately said, "I'll go out first." ”
didn't even look at Cheng Jianing.
The snacks were served, and everyone was seated.
The banquet begins.
In front of Mrs. Qiao, no matter what everyone was thinking, they were all tightly hidden. Pretend to be virtuous, pretend to be filial, pretend to be a filial son, and have a happy meal.
Towards the end, Qiao Changxing said that his daughter Qiao Ting was about to graduate from college, and wanted Qiao Jin Sheng to arrange a position for her in Yuansheng.
Qiao Jinsheng said to go through the interview process.
A normal interview, that's the same treatment as an outsider.
Qiao Changxing was not happy and wanted some special treatment, but Qiao Jin Sheng asked without raising his head: "Xiangnan, what are your plans to return to China this time?"
Qiao Xiangnan didn't expect him to suddenly name himself, and hurriedly replied: "Maybe you have to work." ”
Qiao Changxing understood.
Qiao Jinsheng reminded him that his daughter was not the only one who wanted to work. refusing so directly simply doesn't give him a little face as an elder.
In a fit of rage, he poured a large sip of wine.
Angry is angry, Qiao Jin Sheng is the head of the Qiao family, and Qiao Jin Sheng is a well-known six relatives who don't recognize him. The consequences of offending him were even more unimaginable, and he could only give up temporarily.
After eating, the maid cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Yu Anhui opened her mouth to make tea.
Cheng Jianing followed suit, just like at his own home.
Shi Xia hesitated to help, but was pulled by Qiao Jinsheng to Mrs. Qiao's side: "You are not here to be a person, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Shixia: "......"
All right!
Everyone else pretended to chat with Mrs. Qiao for a few words, and then said goodbye, and in less than half an hour, only An Hui, Qiao Lina, Cheng Jianing, and Shi Xia and Qiao Jin Sheng were left in the living room.
Yu Anhui said: "Xia Xia hasn't been here for a long time, so I won't leave today, let's stay at home." ”
Qiao Lina objected: "Sister-in-law, this arrangement is not appropriate, Miss Shi and a girl spend the night at our house, if it spreads, what will others think of her?"
Without waiting for Yu Anhui to speak, the old lady was unhappy.
Retorted sharply: "Xiao Xia doesn't live in this house much? Why haven't you heard anyone say anything wrong?"
Jolina said: "It was when I was a child. ”
Old Mrs. Qiao's voice aggravated: "In the eyes of my old woman, no matter how old she is, she is still a child. Looking at Qiao Jin Sheng: "Just listen to your mother's arrangement." ”
Jolina: "...... Mom, aren't you being unreasonable?"
Old Mrs. Joe was angry.
Shi Xia didn't want to cause a conflict between them, so he took the initiative to persuade peace: "Grandma, I am interning in the hospital now, and I will go back in a while." ”
Mrs. Qiao just gave up.
Cheng Jianing interjected: "Did Miss Shi go to the city hospital?"
Shi Xia nodded.
Cheng Jianing continued: "Can you give me a ride along the way? My friend also works in the city hospital, so I went to the hospital to see her." ”
Shi Xia smiled apologetically: "It's not me driving." ”
Cheng Jianing understood in seconds and turned to Qiao Jinsheng: "Mr. Qiao, it's all by the way, can you send Miss Shi to take me to the city hospital by the way?"
The tone of the plea is not humble, but it makes people unable to say no words.
Qiao Jin Sheng's narrow eyes stumbled.
Qiao Lina was afraid that he would not agree, so she rushed in front of him and spoke: "Jin Sheng, you can give Jianing a ride, Jianing is a guest, even if it is out of hospitality, we should send it away, right?" ”
Qiao Jinsheng said, "Didn't my aunt also come by car?"
The rejection is particularly obvious.
Shi Xia didn't speak.
Old Lady Qiao didn't open her mouth either.
Qiao Lina hinted at Yu Anhui several times, but she pretended not to see it, so she had to say to herself: "Auntie is going to the company in the afternoon, and the city hospital is not on the way." Aren't you dropping by?"
Qiao Jin Sheng replied expressionlessly: "Qiao's drivers all eat rice?"
Shixia: "......"
Qiao Jin Sheng's mouth is a honey knife.
Qiao Lina made a faceless appearance, hinting that it was invalid, and directly named Yu Anhui to save face: "Second sister-in-law, if you say something, Jin Sheng will listen to you." ”
Yu Anhui didn't want to care.
But Qiao Lina said this, and she couldn't keep her face in front of outsiders, so she could only persuade Qiao Jinsheng according to Qiao Lina's intentions: "Since you are on the way, why don't you send Miss Cheng?" ”
Qiao Jin Sheng can not give Qiao Lina face.
He couldn't help but give his mother's face, so he reluctantly agreed.
Leaving the Qiao family's old house, Qiao Jin Sheng went to drive, and Shi Xia and Cheng Jianing stood at the door and waited.
Stripped of his disguise, Cheng Jianing showed his domineering side. He looked at Shi Xia from above, and his voice was sharp: "I'll tell you, Qiao Jin Sheng will be mine sooner or later, and those who know each other will quit by themselves." ”
Shi Xia was looking at the direction in which Qiao Jin Sheng came out.
Hearing this, he turned his head in surprise.
The woman in front of her is like the woman who was in Qiao's old mansion just now. But it was also a moment, and the fierceness on her body was completely hidden, and she returned to her gentle and euphemistic appearance just now.
Shi Xia realized that it was Qiao Jin Sheng who came over.
I sneered in my heart, and my face became so fast!
Where did she get the confidence to say what she just said?
Relying on her beauty and high education, do you think that all men in the world like her?
I really don't know what to say.
Waiting for the car to stop on the side, Cheng Jianing showed a gentle and even a weak smile on his face, and begged Shi Xia: "Miss Shi, I'm a little sicksick, can you let me sit in front?"
