052. Get more and more proud
At this time, it is not appropriate to say too much.
Huo Yingqi asked his mother to have a good rest, he folded the quilt, said to go out to buy some food, and walked out gently.
Actually, he didn't go far, just stood in the corridor in a daze.
It was quiet, and even the nurse didn't pass by, and subconsciously, he lit a cigarette and took a hard puff.
Over the years, his father and mother have been in disharmony, and even he is unhappy.
Therefore, he is silent and introverted, and he is not close to women.
Because, marriage brought him only fear.
He is afraid that he will not be able to grow old with the person he loves, that he will not find the person he loves, and that in the big family of the Huo family, he will finally choose economic marriage.
So, he's been working hard to make himself better so that he can firmly grasp the initiative, isn't he?
In fact, at that time, Chen Qin was just a cherisher, this girl from the countryside can bear hardships and stand hard work, and she can endure the contempt and white eyes given by her predecessors, Huo Yingqi just saw it inadvertently, and felt that such a girl would definitely succeed.
Since Chen Qin is in her own star company, why not give her a boost and make her shine?
Thinking so, the agent sometimes took the lead in setting up a drinking party, and he didn't refuse.
Is it just a gimmick? He's a man, and it's okay to make more profits for the company by sacrificing it.
That year, the company saw that he had a good eye for Chen Qin, and they all recognized Chen Qin's future identity.
It turns out that material things and desires are really the touchstones of human nature.
Chen Qin, who became popular overnight, tasted the taste of the peak and became more and more unscrupulous.
300,000, how can it be possible to buy out Chen Qin's extravagant hopes for the identity of Huo's young grandmother?
It's just that under expediency, if she doesn't take the money and leave, she herself knows that there will be no place for her in the entertainment industry.
If there is no love, how can you give up the future?
There was a pain in his fingertips, and Huo Yingqi was shocked to realize that the cigarette in his hand had burned out.
He put the cigarette out in the ashtray next to him and stood in the tuyere for a moment before slowly walking towards the doctor's office.
The mother's illness is still stable and is under observation, and as long as she successfully passes these three days, she can be transferred to the general ward.
Huo Yingqi has a trace of comfort in his heart, he has explained the company's affairs, Xu Tezhu has been explained, communication is not a problem, in case there is any emergency, you can contact him.
I looked at my phone, and there was nothing else except a short message from a business message just now.
I just got the marriage certificate today, and I don't know what that woman is doing, so don't you know to take the initiative to contact him?
It wasn't early, he didn't go back to dinner, and she didn't know how to ask about it.
Even if it's a formal fake marriage, they all live under the same roof!
The evening breeze blew on his face, scratching people's hearts a little, and after walking back and forth a few steps, Huo Yingqi still couldn't help it, opened WeChat, and sent Qiao Man a question mark.
After waiting for a while, I felt that the autumn insects downstairs had finished singing a serenade, and I still didn't receive a reply.
With a snort, Huo Yingqi dialed the mobile phone number.
It rang several times before someone picked it up, with a thick nasal voice: "Hello, who?"
This question really made Huo Yingqi angry.
Who else pretended not to know each other so quickly?
Without hearing the other party's reply, Qiao Man rubbed his sleepy eyes, moved the phone in front of him, looked at it seriously, and said, "Oh, Huo ...... Yingqi, when are you going to break up?"
"Adjournment?"
"yes, didn't you say let me wait in your office? I've waited until the flowers are gone, and you haven't come back yet, what do you have to tell me?"
Huo Yingqi remembered this incident at this time, and he said apologetically: "Oh, I'm sorry, there is something urgent after the meeting, I'm already in Australia now, that ...... Let's talk about it when I get back, you go back first, don't sleep in the office. ”
"Okay, ah-"
Hearing Qiao Man's scream, Huo Yingqi asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I fell asleep by leaning, my shoulders twisted, I was in a hurry to stand up just now, and it was a little sore. ”
"Then you go to do an acupuncture in the morning, Xiao Hao doesn't have to worry about it. ”
"Well, you have to be worthy of your employer's salary. ”
The two of them laughed a few more words, and then hung up the phone, without reluctance, and without you and me, it was as natural as an old husband and wife.
Qiao Man raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was already past eight o'clock, this sleep was really peaceful, and he directly missed last night's dinner and today's breakfast, no wonder he was a little hungry.
She moved her muscles and walked to the window, opened the heavy curtains, and the golden sunlight jumped in and pierced her eyes.
It's already busy outside the window, and if you don't go out, it'll be late to go back.
After washing his face in the bathroom and pouting briefly, Qiao Man tidied up his clothes and hair and walked out.
Xu Tezhu happened to be the first to come to work, and when he saw Qiao Man, he was surprised unexpectedly, suddenly remembered his mistake, and hurriedly came forward to apologize.
"It's okay, I didn't ask clearly, you guys are busy, I'll go back first. ”
Xu Tezhu had to personally send Qiao Man to the gate and respectfully send people away.
When Qiao Man walked away, he slapped his head suddenly, why was he so careless, forgetting a big living person in the office, and when the president came back, he would definitely die of distress.
I don't know if this month's bonus will have an impact!
When Kankan came out of the gate of Huo's Building, he was grazed by a white Mercedes galloping by, and a stumbling almost fell to the ground.
Qiao Man was taken aback, tried his best to stand firm, and looked at the owner with indignation.
Is that......
She looked in disbelief at the woman in an expensive beige dress, who was sneering at the steering wheel, her good sister Jo Wuwu.
Seeing the shock in Qiao's eyes, Qiao Wuwu poked his head out, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said delicately: "Why?
Although Qiao Man was shocked, the expression on his face quickly regained his composure.
She glanced at Qiao Wuwu, and then turned her head to look at the back seat of her car, there was no figure of Wuwu's mother, let alone anyone else, so she glanced at her sister suspiciously: "It's really rare, so early, shouldn't you still be lying on someone's bed?"
"You!"
Qiao Wuwu gritted his teeth, quickly calmed down, and said sarcastically: "My good sister, you are really rare, so early, you actually came out of the Huo family, you know, you will think that you are looking for a job conscientiously, I don't know, I may also misunderstand which high-rise bed you can't wait to climb on." ”
"I'm like that, don't think of everyone else like that, not everyone can do without this face. ”
"Oh, are you embarrassed and angry? Don't be too high-minded, look at your haggard face, you didn't rest last night, okay? Hey, the people of the Huo family have always been above the top, how can ordinary weeds be eye-catching? I'm afraid that you take the initiative to be courteous, and you don't have the blessing to go to the hotel for a moment of spring dinner, so you can only be aggrieved to do things on the cold office coffee table, right?"
In the face of this woman's ridicule and sarcasm, Qiao Man had already gotten used to it, she raised her head with a smile, and glanced at Qiao Wuwu with a sneering gaze: "Instead of you laughing here out of nothing, it is better to go back and check Han Zhengxun's post, maybe at this point, he is still warm in the presidential suite, you get up so early, you should ...... That's what you're going for, right?"
"It doesn't seem like you're in charge of my business. ”
Qiao Wuwu was a little annoyed, yelled sharply, and closed the car window after speaking.
Anyone can say it, but they just can't mention Han Zhengxun, this man is the hidden pain in Qiao Wuwu's heart.
Qiao Man said this, as if he had discarded a pair of unwanted shoes, but she Qiao Wuwu picked them up and collected them as treasures.
This feeling is very bad.
The more Qiao Wuwu thought about it, the more angry he became, rolled down the window again, and shouted at Qiao Man:
"Qiao Man, you shameless little builder! Don't try to climb into any rich family! Let me tell you, you shouldn't even think about Huo's idea. Their president, he is my best sister's childhood sweetheart, even if you win over any fat old man to take the position, the president will never look at you more! Don't think that you can climb into a man's bed like your shameless mother! Your mother is a junior, and you are not an innocent good goods, do you know that a person like you who is full of shame pollutes the air when he lives!"
Qiao Wuwu's voice soared very high, this was the gate of Huo's Building, and it was time to go to work, many white-collar workers came in and out, and her voice could almost be heard by the people around her.
Qiao Man ignored those curious heads, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist.
It's too unkind to say that she can, but it's too unkind to even scold her mother!
Qiao Man's pale face looked coldly at Qiao Wuwu's smug smile, and asked rhetorically, "Is enough to say?"
"Nope!"
Qiao Man took a deep breath, but he tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart, and he didn't plan to deal with her anymore, so he turned around and was about to leave.
Qiao Wuwu thought that Qiao Man was scared, and became more and more proud.
"You don't put on a self-righteous and lofty appearance in front of me, you have been like this since you were a child, and it makes people angry to look at! If it weren't for you, our family would be much better, and we were all dragged down by your sick mother!"
The wicked first accuse and do not speak, but speak evil words.
Qiao couldn't hold back the anger in her stomach any longer, she returned, reached in through the car window, pulled Qiao Wuwu's long seaweed-like curls fiercely, and pulled it out.
"Ahh
"Say, go on, believe it or not, I'm going to tear you bald?"
Because he was buckling his seat belt and in the cab, the whole person was not easy to stretch, and he was not Qiao Man's opponent at all, Qiao Wuwu protected his hair and begged for mercy in pain.
"Xinxinxin, you let go, I won't say anything. ”
"Okay, you slap yourself in the face, and I'll let it go. ”
Joe Wuwu gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to comply.
Qiao Man exerted himself again, pulled his hair and dragged it out, allowing more passers-by to look at it.
With all his face gone, Qiao Wuwu had to close his eyes and slap himself gently.
"Tickling?"
"Y-Joman, don't go too far. ”
"It's too much? These things are all self-inflicted, aren't they? Wouldn't it be good to go half of the road to the sky, you have to rush over and be beaten by me by yourself. ”
Indignantly, Qiao Wuwu hit harder this time.
Seeing that Qiao Wuwu's eyes were red, and he could cry in the next second, Qiao Man let go.
She took a step back, patted her palm, as if she had just been stained with a lot of dust and dandruff, looked at the other party with contempt, turned and walked forward.
Qiao Wuwu slammed the seat of the car hard, and saw that there were more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, so he reluctantly drove away.
When she passed by Qiao Man's side, she also deliberately increased the accelerator and tried to pour out all the exhaust gases of the car.
After this battle, Qiao Wuwu became more determined in his heart: there is no Qiao Man, there is Qiao Man without her, from now on, he will swear even more!
Transferring back to Huo's house, Qiao's face was full of guilt.
She took a quick shower and changed clothes, and when she walked into the study, she saw Huo Yinghao memorizing words.
Thinking that she was dazzled, she took a step back and looked at the indoor environment again, and sure enough, it was the study.
Huo Yinghao turned around, looked at Qiao Man's wet hair, and said lightly: "Teacher, go dry your hair and come again, I still have ten words, I have finished memorizing, you just come over to check." ”
It was really surprising that the naughty student was suddenly too well-behaved.
Qiao Man hadn't come back to his senses yet, but his mouth decisively agreed: "Okay, I'll go and come back quickly." ”
Looking at her back, Huo Yinghao sighed faintly.
Such a big and confused woman is really worrying.
When Qiao Man came back from drying her hair, Huo Yinghao really memorized all the words, she closed the book and looked at him with bright eyes.
"It's really good, teacher, I really haven't looked away, you are a good seedling, as long as you study hard, you will definitely have a bright future." ”
Huo Yinghao looked over happily: "Oh, what will happen?"
"I don't dare to say if it's too far, but it's definitely no problem to get into a key university, in fact, you are much smarter than your brother, as long as you are willing to put in a little effort, you can easily walk in front of him. ”
Huo Yinghao really likes to listen to this sentence.
Since he was a child, his family has said that his eldest brother is better than him, and he is like a useless waste.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, you see, when I didn't come, they ...... That, the outside world says that you are stubborn and have no intention of studying, but in my opinion, you are very motivated, and in just a few days, you have caught up with your progress. ”
Huo Yinghao pursed his lips and laughed: "Teacher Qiao teaches well. ”
Actually, what he didn't say was that because he felt a little guilty about Qiao Man in his heart, he was strict with himself to study hard.
"Take a break and do math problems, if you don't understand something, you can ask me. ”
"Teacher Qiao...... Can you stay and teach me?"
Qiao Man was stunned, thinking to himself if this child wanted to continue teaching because he thought he was teaching well?
"It's okay, don't you have my phone number? Even if I'm not at home, you can ask me at any time. ”
To tell the truth, she thinks that Huo Yinghao is really a very good boy, and she is willing to teach him everything she knows.
"Well, I'll do my best. ”
Huo Yinghao happily opened the book, he was ready to catch up with the class and go to school.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door outside: "Young lady, the call from the third young man is coming." ”
The two people in the room were stunned, and Qiao Man realized that this "young lady" was actually talking about herself.
"Butler...... What did you just say?"
Qiao blushed, and replied as he got up: "It should be called me, just shout." ”
Originally, the housekeeper's voice was not loud, and he didn't hear it too clearly, and Huo Yinghao didn't think about it in other ways, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Qiao Man walked out, gently closed the door, and said to the housekeeper, "It's okay to call me Xiaoman." ”
The housekeeper also laughed: "I don't dare to tell what the third young man ordered." ”
"I said yes, it's okay, then it's too twisty to hear. ”
The butler was still smiling: "Okay, young man...... Mrs. Xiaoman. ”
Joe's head was full of black lines, and the question of this title had to be changed in the future, which made her goosebumps rise all over her body.
After taking the landline, I heard Huo Yingqi say over there: "Why don't you answer the phone?
Qiao Man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it, but when it was silent, he naturally didn't hear it.
"I'm giving Ying Hao a lesson, I didn't make a sound, do you have something to do?"
"Oh, just make sure you got home, didn't you get a good rest yesterday, did you feel sore?"
Seeing the housekeeper standing aside and waiting, Qiao Man's face turned red again, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's all good, it's okay, you can rest assured." If you have something over there, just take care of it with peace of mind, and I'll take care of it here. ”
"Well, it's hard for you at home, I'll be back soon, grandpa is not in good health, if there is anything, you ask the housekeeper to inform the doctor, you and I call." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I just asked, grandpa is resting after eating, very good. ”
Why didn't Huo Yingqi know that his grandfather was very good?
He just couldn't find too many topics, and now he brought his grandfather out to talk about it, which made Qiao Man more comfortable.
"Okay, there's something else going on here, I'll hang up first. ”
Hearing the sound of hanging up on the phone, Qiao Man was stunned and glanced at the microphone a little distracted.
From this point of view, Huo Yingqi is not as useless as he saw it for the first time, at least, he still values family affection and career, and is a filial son.
After answering the phone and returning to the study, she didn't bother, just sat quietly in the corner reading English books, accompanying Huo Yinghao.
The day seemed to pass quickly, after dinner, Huo Yinghao went out to play ball, and she went to her grandfather's side to see if her grandfather's body was better.
Two people played a game of chess.
The old man didn't expect that Qiao Man's chess attainments were very good, if it weren't for her slight humility, he would have lost no face at all.
Chess depends on character, and from this point of view, the old man is very satisfied with his vision.
When the old man was also tired, Qiao Man came out and walked a few steps in the corridor, and then slowly walked towards Huo Yingqi's study in the backyard.
She didn't dare to go to the master bedroom, but after all, it was the first day for two people to get their certificates, and it was a bit pretentious to live in the front yard stubbornly.
I pulled out a book casually, finance, and I was sleepy to read.
At 4:30 a.m., Fok Yingqi got off the private jet tiredly.
When the doctor said that his mother's condition was stable and fine, he told the nurse to take good care of him, and he couldn't wait to come back.
Maybe it's because of the million-dollar contract that he wants to sign, or even more, because the empty mansion is no longer deserted.
On the plane, Huo Yingqi kept thinking, why did he get married on impulse?
Originally, people who wouldn't get married would have been so frizzy, wasn't it, because that person was Qiao Man?
Walking downstairs, quietly, just when he looked up and saw that the light in his study was still on, Huo Yingqi suddenly thought of something, and his eyes froze slightly.
Walking upstairs quickly, I saw a slender figure in the corner of the sofa.
Because the sleep was too heavy, and because the air conditioner was too cold, the whole person curled up in a ball.
It's like a glutinous bunny.
Huo Yingqi didn't expect that this woman would really wait for him here alone all night, and there was a warmth flowing in his heart.
It's been so many years, and it's the first time that there is a person waiting for him.
So much so that many years later, the two of them separated, and when he was alone, he would always think of today's scene and make him cry.
Of course, that's another story.
Huo Yingqi walked to the sofa, glanced at Qiao Man's quiet little face when he was asleep, and caught a glimpse of the financial book on the coffee table next to him.
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
His spiritual food turned out to be her hypnotic agent.
But seriously, she really can sleep anywhere, last time she fell asleep in his office, this time in his study.
Only in cold places can she fall asleep completely without hesitation.
He casually put the blazer in the crook of his arm over her, and Qiao Man moved in his sleep.
His hand paused, and he lowered his eyes to her slightly fluttering eyelashes, which seemed to show signs of waking up, but only moved a few times, and then stopped moving.
What a little piggy.
He sighed, turned around the couch, gently placed the materials he had brought back on his desk, and unfastened his cufflinks to get ready to take a shower.
When he left the room, he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, which was very suitable.
When Qiao Man woke up, he found that it was already dawn.
She jerked up from the couch and glanced at the time.
"It's past seven o'clock...... she was about to get up and go to work in shock, and the coat that had been on her body slipped down on her legs with her movements, making her suddenly startled.
This is Huo Yingqi's clothes, could it be that he is back?
"Are you awake?" a low male voice came from the corner. "I was going to see what time you could sleep, but I didn't expect to wake up so soon. ”
She was stunned and said ashamedly: "I'm really sorry, I was originally here to read a book, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep here......"
