Chapter Forty-Nine: Muddy the Waters

However, when he thought of Qiao Xiude running to Qiao Sijie to complain, Ran Xixi unconsciously felt a little ridiculous. 1?k?a wants n book s?h?uยทcc

It can be seen that the Qiao family also does not have fuel-efficient lamps, and they also have their own thoughts.

"Forget it, my cousin, has been in Nanping for most of the time, and he has only returned to Zhonghai in the past two years, and he is worried that after the separation, he will not be able to maintain his original interests, which is understandable. โ€

Qiao Sijie is kind, and he is still speaking for Qiao Xiude, and he doesn't seem to be worried that he is moving the relationship to prepare for the separation.

"You're in the company? I just sent Rui Rui, by the way, I'll go see you." โ€

Thinking of the last time they met, Qiao Sijie's face was ugly and he looked like a dead man, and Ran Xixi couldn't help but be a little worried, and planned to go and see him again in person.

"Yes, then come on, I'll have a meeting at half past ten, and I'll have time until then. โ€

Qiao Sijie looked through the timetable and did not refuse.

Putting down the phone, Ran Xixi asked the driver not to drive home directly, but to Qiao's first.

Passing by a tea restaurant, she quickly went to pack two servings of old turquoise duck soup.

When he arrived at Qiao's house, Qiao Sijie's assistant William was already waiting on the first floor early, and as soon as he saw Ran Xixi, he immediately hurried to greet him, and greeted him with a smile: "Miss Ran, Mr. Qiao asked me to come down to pick you up." Wow, what a ......."

Ran Xixi smiled and handed him the things in his hand: "One of them is yours, so it's up to you to carry it." โ€

William happily took it, thanked her, and then took the elevator upstairs with her.

Knowing that Ran Xixi was coming, Qiao Sijie hurried up to take a shower and change his clothes, he worked overtime all night last night, and although he was refreshed at the moment, he still showed a trace of fatigue.

Ran Xixi could see it at a glance: "You didn't sleep, did you?"

He knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he had to nod: "Yes." โ€

"Then I won't bother you, you drink the soup and sleep for another half hour. โ€

Ran Xixi raised her wrist and glanced at the time, but she remembered that Qiao Sijie had said that before half past ten, he had no other arrangements. A look at the book 1?ka?n?

As he spoke, William had already moved quickly, brought the soup to Qiao Sijie, and said very doggedly: "Mr. Qiao, drink it while it's hot, this is what Miss Ran bought, and I have my share, I'll go out to drink the soup first, it won't taste good if it's cold." โ€

After saying that, William ran out of the office with a cigarette, and did not forget to gently bring the door to the door.

Qiao Sijie sniffed the aroma and sighed helplessly: "You bought my assistant with a bowl of soup." โ€

Ran Xixi looked around and said with a smile: "We are all for your good." โ€

He said no more and concentrated on the soup.

In fact, even when the two of them meet, they almost never talk in large sections, because they are not people who talk much. Fortunately, when he was with Qiao Sijie, even if no one spoke, Ran Xixi would not feel embarrassed, but comfortable.

So, she just looked around his office and said a few words once in a while, and Qiao Sijie only replied with "um", "yes" or "no", and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing that he was almost finished drinking, Ran Xixi was about to leave.

"After I'm gone, you should still take a nap for a while, both eyes are red, and when you have a meeting, your subordinates will talk about you behind your back. โ€

She pointed to Qiao Sijie's eyes and said helplessly.

He was just about to speak, but he didn't want to, when William's voice faintly came from the hallway.

"Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Qiao has guests, you can't go in now...... You wait a minute...... I'll let you know, okay...... Mrs. Joe, please......"

William seemed to be very flustered, and there was almost a hint of crying in his voice, so he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

However, the person who came was still the boss's mother, and he had no way to call the security guard to go upstairs. If he offended Mrs. Qiao, then he didn't want to continue working at Qiao's.

Seeing that William actually dared to stop herself, Mrs. Qiao was not ambiguous, she stopped, turned her head to look at him, narrowed her eyes, and snorted coldly: "Okay, you little cub, you graduated from college and you are by Sijie's side, I thought you were well-behaved and sensible, but now even I dare to stop you, I think you have itchy skin!"

After saying that, Mrs. Joe raised her hand and gave William a blow, hitting him straight in the face. One to read? ยท 1?k?

She didn't use any force, the force was very light, as if she had touched him.

But, despite this, William was well aware that Madame Joe was genuinely angry. It seemed that he couldn't stop her from saying anything, so he could only let her go straight into Qiao Sijie's office.

"What sound?"

Ran Xixi, who was standing in the office, asked suspiciously, she only heard someone talking, but she hadn't been able to tell who it was for the time being.

It was Qiao Sijie, whose face had changed slightly.

He straightened his shirt, walked quickly from behind the desk, and headed straight for the door.

Just now, Mrs. Qiao pushed the door and almost bumped into Qiao Sijie, who had just walked to the door. The mother and son looked at each other, and they were all taken aback, especially Mrs. Qiao, who was so frightened that she took a step back and stepped on William's upper with one foot, which made him grin in pain and dare not speak up.

"Mom, why are you here? Call me if you have something, won't I just go back?"

Qiao Sijie asked helplessly.

Since Qiao Rin was seriously ill, Mrs. Qiao was like having hysteria every day, worrying from morning to night, lest she be orphaned and widowed and bullied by other people in the clan.

"What kind of phone call? Can you call a daughter-in-law? Sijie, you and Yan Ne are both mother's hearts, mother is not partial, you two are the same. He has now found an unclear woman, who can share so much money, and his mother is not worried about him, but you are still a bare-bones commander, what if you can't get your Lao Tzu's money, what can you do......"

Mrs. Qiao grabbed Qiao Sijie's hand and began to cry again.

Qiao Sijie can almost memorize these words from beginning to end, from end to end, word for word.

Because she ran away from marriage, offended the Wen family, and married an outside woman without notifying any of her family, Mrs. Qiao is now extremely disappointed in her second son, Qiao Yanne. Moreover, although she pretended to know nothing, she knew very well the true purpose of Qiao Yanne's sudden run back to Zhonghai this time, and she couldn't help but feel cold.

Over the years, Qiao Yanne has not even made a phone call, but when she heard that Qiao Rin was dying, she rushed home as soon as possible, of course, for the sake of her inheritance.

So, Mrs. Joe was even more worried about her eldest son.

Only then did she realize that she had been too ashamed of Qiao Sijie for so many years and didn't care enough about him. Seeing her son like a spinning top every day, she understood better that if he wasn't still struggling to support this family, the Qiao family would have collapsed long ago.

"Mom, no, even if we don't have Dad's inheritance, we won't drink the northwest wind, what are you worried about? I will raise you, I will be filial to your ......"

Qiao Sijie was one head and two big, and kept explaining.

He really didn't want Ran Xixi to see this scene, and he was a little embarrassed.

"I don't need you to raise me, I just need a daughter-in-law and grandson!"

Who knows, Mrs. Qiao doesn't pay for it.

After speaking, she raised her head and happened to see Ran Xixi, who had been acting as a background.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, Mrs. Qiao pointed at Ran Xixi, and she was speechless for a long time: "You, you, why are you here? You, aren't you in France? Why are you back again!"

She grabbed Qiao Sijie's hand and shook it back and forth: "This, what's going on! Didn't you tell me that she divorced the surname Zhan? Why is she here? Is she ......?"

She was so nervous that she couldn't get up in one breath, and Mrs. Joe almost fainted.

Qiao Sijie hurriedly helped her and asked her to sit down on the sand, Ran Xixi on the side was very embarrassed, she couldn't go, she couldn't stay, she could only stay in place.

"Mom, don't get excited, you listen to me. โ€

Qiao Sijie first asked her to calm down, and then picked the key point and said a few words.

In short, he must be going to Ran Xixi.

"W-what......? Oh my God, what did our Qiao family do...... Wen Yitong is not enough, he still married that woman...... If I knew this, why did I bother in the first place......"

In a hurry, Mrs. Qiao accidentally shook out a few words, and when she realized it, she hurriedly closed her voice.

Qiao Sijie, who was anxious, didn't pay attention to what her mother was howling, but Ran Xixi on the side noticed it, and she felt that there seemed to be some secret on Mrs. Qiao's body.

But she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only stand silently aside.

Finally, Mrs. Qiao calmed down.

She's a powerful woman, sometimes like a shrew, sometimes like a noblewoman, switching between the two modes with ease.

After thinking about it, she immediately sat up straight and returned to normal.

"Is it true what Esprit said?"

This time, the person Mrs. Qiao asked was Ran Xixi.

Seeing her come to ask herself, Ran Xixi had no choice but to collect her emotions and replied respectfully, "Yes." โ€

After looking at her a few more times, Mrs. Qiao got up directly and walked around Ran Xixi twice.

Then she looked at William, "You let me out! No one is allowed to come in!"

William hurriedly went out, and he didn't dare to breathe.

When the office was quiet again, Mrs. Qiao squinted at Ran Xixi and asked coldly, "Do you remember what I said to you in the tea room?"

Ran Xixi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and nodded.

She remembered, but she didn't understand what Mrs. Joe was bringing up the incident for.

"The secret of Esprit must not be passed on. It would be terrible if the old things in the family knew, they were already holding back their strength and wanted to embezzle their property, and if they knew, they wouldn't make a big fuss?"

"Iโ€”I've never said it, I can swear by that. โ€

Ran Xi Xi Zhengse.

Not to mention that Qiao Sijie is her benefactor, even if they don't have too much anxiety, she will not make other people's ** public for no reason, this is the minimum bottom line of life.

"Really?"

Mrs. Qiao looked at her again, and there was a strange look in her eyes.

"Sijie doesn't like women, what about you, you're divorced, and you've had children, with your conditions, it's basically impossible to marry into a wealthy family, you have to understand this. โ€
