"No, I'll tell him myself. Georgian said.

I was speechless, but I respected her decision, waved goodbye to her, and went home first.

After I got home, I was restless, and I was entangled in whether to tell He Xiao about this matter.

If I were just a friend of Giorgio, everything would be easy, and I would definitely respect her and keep it a secret for her. Now it's a pity that I have a good relationship with He Xiao. If Qiao Ji'an took this child behind his back, and He Xiao knew that I knew in advance, the beam in the middle would be bigger. Also, Qiao Ji'an and He Xiao have a good relationship, and when the child comes, it is also a good thing to get married naturally.

I struggled with this question for a night, and finally decided to wait for Georgian's own decision.

The next day I took Qiao Jian to meet Fang Ya, and after the two of them got to know each other, I walked out of Fang Ya's studio and sat outside in the garden to watch the sky.

It's been a long time since I've been able to sit quietly and get along with myself in a comfortable environment, so I didn't look at my phone, didn't answer the phone, and just sat quietly with a bottle of mineral water.

In the early winter, the sky is high and the clouds are light, sitting in the garden that has faded away from the bustling summer and looking up, the sky is high, everything has the taste of autumn, and even the sun has a faint coolness.

Fang Ya's garden is very beautiful in summer, and the flowers in the yard are scattered. Now, the midsummer flowers have all failed, and only a few delicate blooming moon trees remain, and there are a few autumn chrysanthemums that have emerged from the flower bones.

I remember when I was a kid and when I got angry with my family, I would run upstairs to our house and watch the sky. The big roof was full of clothes, and I found an unnoticed corner and lay on the high fence to watch the sky, and it was like an afternoon to look at it. Now that I think about it, I was really bold at that time.

On one side of the fence is the rooftop, and on the other side is the cliff-like outer wall of the building, which is not wide, and if you accidentally turn over and fall from the roof, you will definitely die. However, at that time, I even thought about this problem from time to time, and even fell asleep while looking at the clouds day by day.

I couldn't help but smile when I thought of this.

When I was young, my courage was really boundless. Unlike now, the older you get, the less bold you become.

I sat here and spent an afternoon alone with myself, in a good mood.

At a quarter past four in the afternoon, Fang Ya and Qiao Jian came out of the house, and I saw Fang Ya's tiredness and Qiao Jian's relaxation.

"Thank you. Georgian said.

Fang Ya smiled at her: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me, I can't do anything else, it's okay to listen carefully." ”

Qiao Jian actually laughed too.

She walked up to me, looked at the time and said, "Thank you for bringing me here today, but I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, so I'll go first and talk about it another day." ”

"Have you made a decision?" I asked.

Actually, I was anxious, afraid that Qiao Ji'an would take the child away without letting He Xiao know.

"Not yet, but soon after. She waved at me and walked out.

I got up and wanted to leave, but after thinking for a while, I said to Fang Ya: "Your courtyard is well designed, and when you sit here, the whole person is about to settle down." To be honest, I watched the clouds here for an afternoon and felt really good. ”

"That's good, you can come more often when you have time in the future. Fang Ya said with a smile.

I was curious about what Qiao Ji'an said to Fang Ya, so I hesitated for a moment and asked, "How did you talk to her?"

Fang Ya looked at me with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, these are her privacy, I won't tell you." If you want to know, you can ask her, and if she wants to speak, it's none of my business. ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I know your answer, but I still can't help but want to ask." ”

She smiled and said it was okay, and then mentioned that I was there on the day of her wedding. After saying the words of thanks, she changed the topic to me and said, "By the way, what did Gu Yixiao do that day? When I saw him coming, I broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that he was here to make trouble." ”

"He shouldn't be so tasteless and mess up other people's weddings. It's just that he said that he wanted to see what his former royal fiancée looked like. I said.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time asked curiously, "What's wrong with you and him?"

"No, it's just not suitable to be together. "I'll say it simply.

There weren't many people who knew the truth about Gu Yixiao's matter, and Fang Ya hadn't paid attention to him, so she definitely didn't know that he had ever caused a brain damage. I don't want to go into such detail, anyway, Fang Ya and Gu Yixiao don't have many opportunities to meet, so they shouldn't have a chance to say anything.

"Oh. She answered, then looked down at the time.

"It's not too early, it's time for me to go. I said.

Fang Ya said a little apologetically: "Usually I don't leave so early, but today I made an appointment with Zihan to go out for dinner, so I left a little early." ”

"You two are so envious. I said.

I'm telling the truth, and I'm still in love after I got married. This is the marital state that all women pursue.

She smiled and said nothing.

Fang Ya and I walked out side by side, and when we arrived at the gate, we actually bumped into Gu Yixiao. Gu Yixiao was also surprised to see me, and asked, "Why are you like this?"

"Am I weird here?" I asked.

He didn't say anything, looked at Fang Ya and asked, "I came to you for something." ”

Fang Ya asked very generously, "What's the matter?"

"Regarding my personal matters, I would like to make an appointment with you for two hours, for the normal payment. Gu Yi said with a smile.

Fang Ya shook her head embarrassedly and said, "I have something to do today, so I got off work early." ”

"Oh, then it's ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Someone has an appointment tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. Fang Ya said without being arrogant or humble.

Gu Yi smiled and twisted his eyebrows: "Then when were you not asked out?"

Fang Ya thought for a moment and said, "Next Wednesday afternoon." ”

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with you for the whole afternoon. Gu Yi said with a smile.

He gave me a serious look and turned to leave.

Watching Gu Yixiao's car drive away, I hesitated for a moment and said to Fang Ya, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

She looked at me in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"If Gu Yixiao asks you, what is the matter between me and him, can you reply with no knowledge?" I said to her with some embarrassment.

Now, for Fang Ya, Gu Yixiao is the customer, and my request is obviously very unreasonable.

"Why?" Fang Ya asked, pausing and looking back at me.

"If you don't mention me yet, talk to him and you'll know why. I said.

Fang Ya hesitated slightly, and said, "This thing sounds a little funny, but I'll agree first." ”

I thanked her and said goodbye.

I lasted another three days about Qiao Ji'an's pregnancy, and then called her to ask her, but she still didn't decide to tell He Xiao. I hesitated and knocked on He Xiao's office.

When I went in, he said goodbye to the phone, and then he dropped the phone and looked up to see me. Immediately asked, "You told Qiao Jian about me?"

"A call from Giorgio?" I asked.

"Yes, she said that a friend had a sum of money in her hand and had nowhere to invest, and wanted to ask me if there were any other investment channels, and she said that she didn't care about risk, only high returns. He Xiao looked at me and said, "Tao Ran, if you deny it, you will treat me as a fool." ”

He said all this, and I had to admit it, sighed and said, "Forget it, this bad guy is decided." I guess I will offend both of you and my wife. ”

"What do you mean?" he keenly picked up the subtext in my words.

"Your business, I accidentally said it in front of Qiao Ji'an. You'd better not use her money, first inquire about the origin, maybe it was from selling a house and a car. I generously admitted, "Also, Qiao Ji'an is pregnant with your child, and it's been ten weeks now." She is now hesitating whether to keep the baby. ”

He Xiao's face changed greatly: "You didn't fool me?"

"There's no need for this, now that I leaked the truth on both sides, you go and discuss how to deal with the money and the children, and then deal with me. After I finished speaking, I waved my hand at He Xiao and walked out.

I had barely walked out of his office when I heard him slamming the door open. He was tall and long-legged, and he caught up with me in a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the exact news?"

"Yes, it was at a certain Sakura hospital, and I took the test results. I also whispered, "But you don't feel safe for her, so she can't give her child security now." ”

As soon as my words fell, He Xiao swept out like the wind.

Back in my own room, I imagined Qiao Ji'an's reaction when he saw He Xiao know about this, shook his head and began to busy himself.

Even if she hates me, this matter can't be decided without He Xiao knowing.

Two mature adults, in the process of dating, to the point of conceiving a child, must be ready to enter marriage, if you don't consider marriage at all, no one dares to take this risk, after all, there are many kinds of contraceptive methods now, as long as the measures are done, 99% can not conceive.

Just thinking of this, Fang Ya's call came in.

"Fang Ya. I quickly got through and called her name.

"Tao Ran, Gu Yixiao didn't leave my studio, he wanted me to give him an explanation, and asked me to explain what happened at that time. Fang Ya's voice was very low, it should have been a secret call.

"You tell him the truth, and you can avoid me. I said.

In my opinion, this matter is not difficult, and we can make it clear without offending Gu Gu and smiling.

"No, he used Lu Zihan as a threat, saying that as long as I don't tell him the truth, he will make Lu Zihan unable to mix in this industry. Fang Ya paused and said, "You know, Zihan is very satisfied with his work and is also very interested in this business. I can't ruin him just because of myself. ”

"You don't have to worry, if you don't worry, I can sign an indefinite labor contract with Lu Zihan, as long as he takes the initiative to resign, he will continue to do it here forever. I said.

"If only it were that simple. Fang Ya continued to say helplessly, "He said that if I insisted that Lu Zihan would work in the same company all his life, he would have acquired your company." ”

"Scoundrel. I cursed.

"Tao Ran, he has amnesia and forgot this part about you, how did he do it?" Fang Ya asked.

"Now that you've noticed it, let's make an appointment to meet and find a way to send him away today. Also, you let him ask me about me and him himself. I said to Fang Ya, "If he presses you again, you will say that you and I are friends, and you don't want to say more about my past, and he wants to know what to make him come to me." ”

I don't like to make trouble for others, so after a little thought, I instructed Fang Ya.

Gu Yixiao, I can also deal with him.

I met Fang Ya, she shook her head helplessly and said, "Tao Ran, Gu Yixiao is such a person, I can't afford to offend now." ”

I'm a little puzzled, I just heard about Fang Ya's family affairs, and I don't know the exact news.

"I broke up with my parents in order to get married. Now, I only have this psychological counseling studio under my name, and Lu Zihan only has this job. We live in the house left by Grandpa Lu Zihan, and we live on the wages of two people. My card, equity, bank balance, were cleared on the day I got married. My dad put down his cruel words, if it weren't for his own daughter's sake, he would have asked me for tuition and living expenses all these years. ”

Her words confirmed everyone's rumors and speculations.

She saw me looking at her and smiled, "You don't have to pity me, I made this decision myself." I thought very clearly to myself, a marriage without love, I would rather die. Now, Lu Zihan and I have come together, we are not financially rich, but we are very spiritually rich. ”

When Fang Ya said this, her smile came from the heart.

"I really envy you for being like this, loving and full of water. I couldn't help but say something.

She looked at me and smiled slightly: "It's impossible to drink enough water, so Lu Zihan and I are working hard." We have a five-year plan, a ten-year plan, and we will achieve our small goals in life step by step. ”

When she said this, I was even more envious. Fang Ya lives a relaxed and understanding life like this.

I discussed it with her, and if Gu Yixiao came to her again, let her push Gu Yixiao to me. I'll solve the matter with him myself.

However, now I also know that Gu Yixiao's mother's promise cannot be fulfilled at all.

If Gu Yixiao really listened to his mother's words, it would be impossible for him to find someone else to understand my situation in private. I thought I could hide this matter for a short time, but I didn't expect it to get out of control so early, and I only hid it for a short time.

As soon as I said goodbye to Fang Ya, Qiao Ji'an called me, and the first thing he said was: "Tao Ran, I have known you for so many years, you actually sold me to He Xiao, are you close to him or close to me?"

"Ji'an, can we meet and talk about this matter? I asked softly.

I was mentally prepared for her questioning call, but I didn't expect it to come two days late.

"No need. She snapped and hung up.

I didn't take care of my own affairs, and I was anxious to ask He Xiao out and ask what the situation was. However, after He Xiao received my call, he actually said unceremoniously: "No need to meet, I'll deal with this matter later." ”

"What the hell do you two mean? Do you want this kid? If you do, you have to hurry up and get ready for the wedding. I said, "You don't want Ji An to come into your house with a big belly, and she won't be able to stand any more gossip." ”

He Xiao sneered on the phone: "Tao Ran, if you defend her, she may not defend you." In her eyes, she sees you like an enemy. Forget it, without further ado, I'll be out in a week. ”

With that, he hung up the phone.

I was so anxious that I went directly to Qiao Jian's house to block her.

I pressed the curfew downstairs, and Qiao Jia answered, and she appeared on the monitor with a tired face, and said to me, "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you, open the door and let me go up. I said to her.

She stared at me in the surveillance for a moment, then sighed, "Come up." ”

Actually, I know I'm meddling now, but I have to take care of this one. One is because I have a close relationship with Qiao Jian and have been friends for more than ten years. The second is that the matter between her and He Xiao is almost matched by me, and I don't want to cause this pair to separate because of some misunderstanding in the middle.

What's more, I really think that Qiao Ji'an will have a good married life if he marries He Xiao.

I went upstairs and pushed open the door of Giorgio's house, and was taken aback as soon as I entered.

She is a petty bourgeois woman with a habit of cleanliness, and her home is usually so clean that she can't find a trace of dust, and things are neatly arranged. However, today this home is out of the sky, and a thin layer of dust can be seen on the table against the light.

There were a few bags and a few pieces of clothes thrown around on her pure white leather sofa, and she said to the dejected one: "Just sit down, I haven't cleaned up." ”

"Have you eaten?" I asked.

She glanced at the kitchen: "I'm not hungry, I don't have the heart to eat." ”

"You have a baby in your belly now, how can you not eat. "I stood up, went into the kitchen, washed the dishes in the sink, and then wiped the countertops. I opened the refrigerator, took out all the ingredients that could be used in it, looked at the production date, and still eaten.

"You rest in the living room, I'll cook you a meal. I said to Jogian.

She replied and said no trouble, she didn't have an appetite when I did. I laughed and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat together." ”

I'm good at cooking, after all, I've been a housewife for five years. Forty minutes later, I made a stewed white radish with pork ribs, a stir-fried shrimp, a cold salad, and a tomato and egg soup.

"Let's have a bite to eat, and we'll talk. I pulled her to the table.

Georgian was reluctant to eat, but because of my enthusiasm, he reluctantly pulled a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

"Ji'an, the sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest. Whatever your decision is, eat your fill before you settle it. And when you are angry, you should never make important decisions, because generally the decisions made in this situation will be regretted. I said, "After eating, we'll talk again." ”

I don't know if my persuasion worked, she ate half a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup before putting down the bowl.

I put away the dishes and chopsticks, and when I came out, I picked up a pillow from the sofa and handed it to her, saying that it would be easier to cushion my waist. She took it as she was told, and then sat down half-reclining on the sofa, resting barefoot on the coffee table.

The floor of Qiao Ji'an's house is very high, and the living room is a floor-to-ceiling window facing south, and the sun is just right at this time, sprinkling the whole room.

"Ji'an, I think you misunderstood me somewhat. I opened my mouth first.

She glanced at me and suddenly smiled: "It's that I'm thinking too much, and seeing you treat me like this, I also know that it's wrong for me to think so much." ”

What she thought about a lot, I could vaguely guess that since I decided to talk to her today, I simply broke this layer of window paper.

"Do you think I'm getting too close to He Xiao?" I asked.

She wasn't surprised at all that I could guess, nodded and said, "I know it's because I'm thinking too much, and I know it's not your problem." But every time I see the tacit understanding between you and He Xiao, I get angry and feel that I am superfluous. Also, I lose my temper with him when I'm angry, and he sometimes doesn't even know why I'm so uncertain. After doing this too many times, he was annoyed, and I was annoyed. ”

"He and I are partners, and there will definitely be a tacit understanding in business, because we have to cooperate. However, in terms of personal feelings, I have no feelings for him at all, let alone any thoughts. I continued earnestly, "I heard that you had an opinion about me some time ago, but I think it's just a momentary breath, and there is no need to explain it. And then letting things get to where they are today is my problem. ”

Qiao Jian didn't look, his eyes were fixed on his translucent toes in the sunlight and said, "Don't say that, I always knew it was my problem, and it had nothing to do with you." You also did a polite treat to He Xiao, and did not exceed the rules. But, I just don't feel well. Tao Ran, you are so good, after getting along with you for a long time, there are few men who are not attracted to you. Although you have no intention, He Xiao is indeed different to you. As long as I say that you are not good at a word, even if it is a joke, he will refute it, or even turn his face. It is also because of his reaction that my prejudice against you has become deeper and deeper. I also know that I reacted this way because I cared about him. It's because I care that I have a deeper resentment in my heart. Before, I rarely did this. As long as a man doesn't cheat, or even plays with other women, I don't have any psychological fluctuations. ”

At this point, Giorgio paused.

I saw that her expression was very frightened, and her body couldn't help shrinking together, her hands tightly hugged her knees, and she was in a trance for a long time before she said, "I'm in front of him, and I don't have confidence." ”

"You can communicate with him about this kind of thing. I sat down, took her hand and said, "I believe he has always loved you, and he has indeed done a lot of things in the company recently, and he has almost lost all his net worth." ”

"But he told me all about it. "Jogian is still struggling with this.

I had to repeat the reasons why men were unwilling to lose face in front of the woman they loved, and finally persuaded: "You should tell him these words." ”

Qiao Ji'an's eyelashes flickered up and down a few times, and he smiled at me and nodded, "That's true, I should have a good talk with him." In the past few days, I have been angry and sad, and I have forgotten to solve the problem and have a face-to-face conversation. ”

"You haven't seen him yet?" I asked.

"yes, who wants to see him at this time. Qiao Jian said angrily.

At this time, the door of her house rang again, and I looked at Qiao Jian and frowned, "It must be him." ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew that he should be He Xiao in her mouth, so I walked over quickly and answered the curfew. He Xiao's face appeared in the surveillance, he raised his head and said, "Ji'an, let's meet and have a good chat, you can't let me squat downstairs in your house every day to block you." ”

I couldn't help laughing when I looked at his eager appearance, and He Xiao saw that it was me when he heard my voice, and said angrily: "Tao Ran, open the door for me." ”

I glanced back at Qiao Jian and said, "I let him come up, you guys have a good talk." ”
