Chapter Seventy-Two: The Responsibility of a Brother-in-law

Qiao Yiyue fell asleep in Ke Linyu's room, probably because she took medicine, she slept so deeply that Ke Linyu pushed the door and came in, she didn't know at all.

At the door, he saw Qiao Yiyue lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, so Ke Linyu slowed down and slowly walked to the bed.

She looked like she was falling asleep, docile and well-behaved, like a cute rabbit.

But as soon as she wakes up and you want to touch her little head, the rabbit will jump to her feet in a hurry and may even bite you angrily.

Why don't they have such an attitude towards Yan Peidong?

Is it a mistake I made that cannot be forgiven?

Ke Linyu sighed, moved a stool over, and sat down.

It's nice to have such a quiet night, with just the two of them in the room and no quarrels.

Qiao Yiyue had a dream, she dreamed that in those days in the United States, her classmates were bullying her, she fell and bleed......

Dreams are always so real that you can't wake up.

Qiao Yiyue frowned and struggled painfully, but her movements were not large, as if some force was holding her back.

Ke Linyu leaned forward, wanting to touch Qiao Yiyue's head, but he was afraid of waking her up, so his hand froze in mid-air, unusually embarrassed.

He slowly withdrew his hand, and instead helped Qiao Yiyue pull up the quilt that she had kicked off by herself, covering it below her neck.

Looking closely, Qiao Yiyue, whose cheeks were crimson because of illness, seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Ke Linyu approached little by little, wanting to kiss her forehead.

And just then, his phone rang.

Ke Linyu hurriedly took out his mobile phone, turned off the mute, looked down at Qiao Yiyue's situation, and made sure that she was not woken up, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He still left the room lightly, gently closed the door, and answered the call from Qiao Xiaobin.

"Brother Linyu, it's so late, didn't disturb your rest, right?"

Qiao Xiaobin calculated the time to make the call, just so as not to disturb Ke Linyu.

"Well, I haven't rested yet, is there something wrong?" Ke Linyu guessed the purpose of Qiao Xiaobin's call this time, but none of them were particularly sure.

"Yes, there are three international exchange places in my major in our school, and the teacher recommended me, because it happens to be the University of South China, and I can stay in China for at least two years. ”

There are only three exchange student places in one major, and Qiao Xiaobin is fighting hard for Qiao Yiyue.

If he also returned to China, Brother Lin Yu should not have sent his sister to the United States, otherwise my sister would be alone in the United States, how pitiful.

The workplace must be much more difficult to mix than the campus, when my sister first arrived in the United States, she was bullied by so many people, and if she worked alone in the United States, I am afraid she would also be bullied.

"Are you going back to China?" Ke Linyu's mood didn't change much, so people couldn't hear what he meant in his heart.

Qiao Xiaobin was worried, he frowned, and he didn't know if Brother Lin Yu was happy or unhappy?

"Well, I don't think I have been back to China for a long time, I miss grandpa very much, my sister said before, grandpa is not in good health, I want to go back to see grandpa. ”

Qiao Xiaobin whispered, listening to Ke Linyu's reaction with bated breath.

When he was young, he always felt that Grandpa Ke didn't like him, because he, the adopted son of the Ke family, might one day threaten Ke Linyu, the only heir of the Ke family.

However, he really has no interest in inheriting the Ke family's family business.

Since I was a child, I have seen my father work very hard, and I can hardly see him at home, if my father is an ordinary father, he should be able to feel more fatherly love.

Perhaps, from the day he was abandoned by his biological parents, he was destined to be an orphan who could not get the love of his father and mother.

Fortunately, he has a sister, so that he will not be lonely and helpless throughout his childhood.

Now is the time when his sister needs him, and he has to be by his sister's side without hesitation.

Ke Linyu thought about it carefully, anyway, Qiao Yiyue didn't want to go to the United States, and he also promised her that she could stay for the time being, and with Qiao Xiaobin by her side, she should be happy.

"Okay, when will you come back, I'll ask the secretary to book a ticket for you. ”

"That's not already, Brother Linyu, my school needs to go through some formalities, and I can book a ticket by myself when the time comes." ”

Qiao Xiaobin happily clenched his fist with his right hand, suppressing his little excitement, afraid that Ke Linyu would hear it.

"Alright, when you confirm the time, remember to tell me, and I will send someone to pick you up at the airport. ”

"Okay, Brother Linyu. Qiao Xiaobin was actually ready to hang up the phone at this time, but he suddenly hesitated and stopped talking.

Ke Linyu sensed that Qiao Xiaobin still had something to say, so he asked, "Do you want to ask me?"

"Well, Brother Linyu, I want to ask you, sister, can she stay in Nanhua City?" Qiao Xiaobin asked cautiously, his brows furrowed, and he looked constipated.

Since Brother Lin Yu has agreed to let him return to China, he shouldn't let his sister go abroad alone.

When I invited Sister Xing Xing to dinner before, I heard so many things about my sister being bullied abroad.

"That depends. Ke Linyu deliberately scared Qiao Xiaobin, he wanted to see how Qiao Xiaobin would fight for Qiao Yiyue.

Qiao Xiaobin was anxious, "Brother Linyu, how can you bear to let your sister go to the United States alone, I will also return to China, in case my sister is bullied in the United States, what should I do, aren't you worried about my sister?"

"You've told me so many stories about how she treated the other classmates, and I'm not worried about her at all, but a little worried about the people around her. ”

Qiao Xiaobin was stunned, he didn't expect that what he said before would drag his sister back.

"Brother Lin Yu, at this time and that time, when my sister was young, she was young and vigorous, so she was more impulsive, and now her sister is gentle and lovely, how can she do such a thing, she must only be bullied. ”

Ke Linyu couldn't help laughing, Qiao Yiyue only had the share of being bullied, and he really didn't believe it.

"Well, you might as well stay in the U.S. and go to school. Ke Linyu said, holding back a smile.

Qiao Xiaobin frowned, didn't he say it well just now, why did he let him stay in the United States again?

"Can't you let my sister stay and reunite us as a family? I haven't been back to China for several years, and I'm so homesick. ”

Qiao Xiaobin suddenly sighed, and Ke Linyu was stunned when he heard it.

Family.

They are family.

What a beautiful word for "home".

Thinking of the days to come, maybe the three of them will have a grandfather, living together, maybe there will be quarrels and contradictions, but the family is together, such a picture, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ke Linyu's mouth.

This smile became more and more enthusiastic, and even the eyes showed a happy look.

Qiao Xiaobin didn't hear Brother Lin Yu's reply for a long time, and asked anxiously: "Brother Lin Yu, I don't know what conflict happened between you and my sister, but I really want us to become a real family, and in my heart you are my brother." ”

"Who is going to be your brother. Ke Linyu muttered quietly, unable to hide his disgust.

He doesn't want to be Qiao Xiaobin's brother, he wants to be Qiao Xiaobin's brother-in-law.

It was a natural thing, but now it's struggling.

"Ah, Brother Linyu, what did you just say?" Qiao Xiaobin didn't hear what Ke Linyu said clearly, and frowned again in ignorance.

"Your sister is sick and can't go to the United States for the time being, during this time, recuperating at home, you come back quickly, and you can accompany her, she doesn't have to go to work at the company now, staying at home must be boring. ”

Ke Linyu said this, successfully covering up the news that Qiao Yiyue was fired by Shengtian Group.

However, Qiao Xiaobin began to think more, and asked worriedly: "What is my sister's illness, is it serious, she loves work so much, how can she be willing to put down work and rest at home?"

It's over, my sister must be very sick, otherwise, she wouldn't have left her job behind.

At this time, it was Ke Linyu's turn to frown, did his tone sound like Qiao Yiyue was seriously ill, why was Qiao Xiaobin so nervous?

Ke Linyu was about to answer, but Qiao Xiaobin couldn't help but ask: "Then I'll go back to China immediately, let's talk about the formalities later, why did my sister never mention her physical problems to me, last time I rushed back to China, was it because I was sick, my sister is really, how can you hide it from me, I ...... here"

"Xiaobin, is your imagination very rich, when did I say that your sister is very seriously ill, she just has a high fever, and the fever has subsided at this time, there is no big problem, but the doctor said that your sister works at the desk all the year round, and her physique is not very good, so she needs to have a full body examination and take care of it. ”

Qiao Xiaobin listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Linyu, you scared me to death. ”

"You are not wrong in your major, writing does require imagination. ”

Qiao Xiaobin smiled and scratched the back of his head, "Isn't this a momentary urgency, if you care, you will be chaotic, and if you care, you will be chaotic." ”

Ke Linyu bent his lips, he found that he liked to chat with Qiao Xiaobin, because Qiao Xiaobin was a person who dared to express his liking, and he liked Qiao Yiyue's sister, so he would express it boldly.

And he himself can only hide the true thoughts in his heart, the more hidden the better, and no one knows the better.

When can you live your true self?

"Xiaobin, it's good that you're like this, I hope you keep it like this. Ke Linyu suddenly sighed.

Qiao Xiaobin was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of Brother Lin Yu's words.

"Brother Lin Yu, are you saying that I should continue to learn to write?"

"If you want to understand it that way, you can do it. ”

"However, there is no special writer major in China, so I went to Nanhua University and studied literature. ”

After Qiao Xiaobin finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could he say all this, what if Brother Lin Yu did not agree with him returning to China.

"That, Brother Linyu. Qiao Xiaobin hurriedly explained, "I think the literature major is also very good, if you want to write, then you must study those works of everyone first." ”

Ke Linyu still didn't know Qiao Xiaobin's mind, smiled, didn't care too much, "I heard my secretary say, you serialized a few suspense books on the Internet, and it is quite popular, I read the first few chapters, the plot is indeed quite attractive, but your Chinese level really needs to be improved, return to China to cultivate well, in fact, it is also good." ”

"Brother Lin Yu, I wrote it in English, and it was someone here who pirated my article and put it here to be serialized. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Xiaobin was still a little angry, domestic piracy is really rampant.

What's even more terrifying is that if you look at piracy, you can watch it, and you have to run over the wall to the comment area of his serial page and leave a message urging you to change.

The U.S. online text market is not as prosperous as in China, and everyone updates it at will, and they can update as much as they want.

Everyone also respects the originality very much, likes the content of this book, and everyone will consciously pay to watch it, so after Qiao Xiaobin started writing two years ago, he got a large amount of manuscript fees.

When he got the first manuscript fee, he also took Qiao Yiyue and Xing Xing to a luxurious dinner.

After that, he secretly bought Qiao Yiyue the latest version of his laptop, but because Qiao Yiyue felt that it was too expensive and his computer could still be used, he asked him to return.

Later, Qiao Xiaobin has been insisting on writing, with all kinds of themes, writing down when he has ideas, and never demanding how much he must write, in such a relaxed atmosphere, he has been liked by many readers.

It is precisely because of the big wind that slowly, his pirated articles appeared in many countries, especially in China, which is simply too rampant.

However, his pen name also quietly became popular.

Because although he writes in English, his pen name is Chinese - Qiao Mu Xiaoshan.

"Piracy? In other words, these websites take advantage of your profits, but they don't pay you?" Ke Linyu really didn't know about it.

Qiao Xiaobin thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Let's just say that, those who pirated me translated me into Chinese, and the pen name was also written under my pen name, but they didn't pay me." ”

"Okay, I got it. Ke Linyu said.

Qiao Xiaobin was stunned again, what did Brother Lin Yu mean by this?

"It's not early, I'll hang up first. ”

Ke Linyu hung up the phone, turned around and walked to the door of his bedroom, wanting to open the door and go in, thinking that Qiao Yiyue was sleeping inside, tonight, don't bother her anymore.

He turned around and came to Qiao Yiyue's room, opened the door, and walked in.

Sometimes, when he couldn't sleep alone, he would come to Qiao Yiyue's room to sit.

In this room, he can always think of some memories about Qiao Yiyue.

It's painful, it's warm, it's funny, it's angry.

It's always good to have memories, people are very cold-blooded animals, and one day, they can forget a person completely.

Ke Linyu didn't turn on the light, because even if the room was dim, he could walk to the bed by feeling.

I don't know when this familiarity began.

Ke Linyu walked to the edge of the bed step by step, sat down, and reached for the photo on the bedside table.

The room was dim, the curtains were drawn, and only a faint moonlight came in.

He stroked the photograph gently, and without looking at it, he was already able to trace what it looked like.

Ke Linyu lay back, the photo in his arms, full of thoughts, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qiao Yiyue slept peacefully in his room, which made him feel very at ease.

Before he knew it, Ke Linyu fell asleep.

……

Qiao Yiyue woke up early in the morning, she remembered that there were still some of her own clothes in the closet in her room, so she got up and went to her room.

When I opened the door, I found a picture on the bed that was supposed to be on the bedside table.

She froze and stood still.

Could it be that she forgot to put the photo back in its original position last night?

No, you can't show your feet.

Qiao Yiyue walked quickly to the side of the bed and put the photo on the bedside table.

Just as she was about to go to the closet to turn over her clothes, she suddenly felt that the sheets were weird, and they seemed to be particularly wrinkled.

Oh my God, am I really burnt out, why don't I have any impression at all?

Qiao Yiyue hurriedly bent down to straighten out the sheets, and was relieved to make sure that he had sorted them out.

She turned and walked to the closet and opened the closet door.

"Ahh

Qiao Yiyue screamed in fright!

Ke Linyu actually appeared in the closet!

"You don't bark. ”

Ke Linyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and covered Qiao Yiyue's mouth, and attracted the housekeeper later, which was embarrassing.

He heard movement outside the door, and guessed that it was Qiao Yiyue who came, and the others couldn't be such footsteps.

I looked around, but only the wardrobe could hide from people.

But who knows, Qiao Yiyue came over and opened the door of the wardrobe.

"Hmm

She patted the back of Ke Linyu's hand, covering her mouth and nose like this, almost unable to breathe.

Ke Linyu let go of Qiao Yiyue, took the lead, and put the blame on Qiao Yiyue, "You occupied my room last night." ”

"So, you're coming to my room?"

It was the first time Qiao Yiyue heard such nonsensical words, what did this mean?

Is this a reason for him to hide in the closet?

I see, that is to say, the photo frame just now was not something she forgot to put back, it was Ke Linyu who put it on the bed.

and the messy sheets, it wasn't that she forgot to lay them out, but Ke Linyu messed them up.

Well, she almost thought she was insane.

"So what?" Ke Linyu said confidently, why should he panic, this is the Ke family, he is the master of the Ke family, here, everything is up to him.

Qiao Yiyue smiled, "I really can't treat Mr. Ke as well, if Mr. Ke likes the design of this room, I can help Mr. Ke design Mr. Ke's bedroom, to be honest, Mr. Ke's bedroom, that design style, tsk." ”

After speaking, Qiao Yiyue shook his head, full of disgust.

I thought that Ke Linyu would be very disdainful, and Qiao Yiyue didn't plan to really help Ke Linyu design the bedroom, she was very busy.

However, Ke Linyu actually replied casually: "Okay, then my bedroom will be handed over to you in the future, and I must design a plan that satisfies me." ”

"Ah, what if Mr. Ke is not satisfied?" Qiao Yiyue was stunned, Ke Linyu's taste is so strange and her requirements are so high, she must deliberately embarrass her, she may never be able to design a room that satisfies Ke Linyu.

"Then keep revising it until I'm satisfied. ”

Qiao Yiyue chuckled in her heart, isn't this the same as signing a deed of sale.

She doesn't want it!

"Mr. Ke, otherwise, you let the designers of Shengtian Group help you design, I think they are much more powerful than me. ”

Ke Linyu shook his head and stared at Qiao Yiyue's eyes with low eyes, "I want you to help me design." ”

"But now I have to help our boss design Sleepless Nights, it's a big project, I don't know when I'll have time. ”

"I pushed Yan Peidong's work, and I will pay for you how much the liquidated damages are. Ke Linyu said proudly.

Qiao Yiyue pursed her lips unhappily, and explained very seriously: "It's not a matter of money, this is a kind of contract spirit, I am a person who talks about the spirit of contract, even if it is said verbally, it is also a matter of words." ”

"Then you also said that if I don't marry, is this still true?" Ke Linyu suddenly brought up the old story.

Qiao Yiyue lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Ke Linyu's gaze.

She took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look directly into Ke Linyu's eyes, and replied confidently: "When I said this, I was sincere, but the contractual relationship between you and me has been canceled, isn't it, Mr. Ke?"

"You don't have to call me Mr. Ke. Ke Linyu was very disgusted by this title.

"It's just a title. ”

"You can not go to the United States and stay in Nanhua City, but you can't continue to stay in Sleepless Nights, the Ke family can't afford to lose this person, and grandpa won't allow it, from now on, you are the eldest lady of the Ke family, if you like design, I can give you dozens of houses, you can design it as you like." ”

"Hehe, the eldest lady of the Ke family, but, my surname is Qiao. Qiao Yiyue sneered, feeling that this title was too ironic, even more ironic than her calling Ke Linyu "Mr. Ke".

Not only that, Ke Linyu always talks about her designs with such understatement, which is disrespectful to the work she loves.

"What if I don't?" Qiao Yiyue asked, wondering, what would be the worst outcome?

Ke Linyu twisted his eyebrows and replied coldly: "Don't think that what happened yesterday can change anything, if you are obedient and stay at home, I will also agree to your request, but if you insist on staying in the sleepless night, then you are going against the Ke family, you know, against the Ke family, you have to pay the price." ”

Qiao Yiyue looked at Ke Linyu's serious appearance, felt that her mouth was dry, and pursed her lips unconsciously.

Take a step back and open the sky, can't she promise?

Stay for now and plan later.

"I'll ask Uncle Zhang to go and bring your things back. ”

"I'm going to go by myself, by the way, say goodbye to Wanwan, please. Qiao Yiyue said sincerely.

Ke Linyu nodded and agreed.

Uncle Zhang sent Qiao Yiyue to the sleepless night, Qiao Yiyue walked through Yin Yang Alley and came to the dilapidated small building.

"No, you're back. ”

Lan Lan stopped Qiao Yiyue and ran forward happily.
