One of the men. It's Josie. There is no doubt about that.

He is the boss here. Appears here. Nature is a matter of course. Though. Ran Xixi didn't expect it. Why is he in such a short period of time. Frequent travel between foreign countries and China Shipping.

But. Thinking of what Qiao Sijie said before. There was a big problem with Qiao Rin's body. The situation is less stable. And she understood. As a dutiful son. He certainly could not afford to leave his foreign business behind. And I can't ignore my elderly father. You can only run around at both ends.

“…… No matter what. You must come back with me. It's not like you don't know Dad's physical condition. Do you really want to watch him go away with regrets? ”

I don't know if it's a little emotional. Josie's voice raised a little. Although soothing music echoed all around. But because his volume is not small. So. Ran Xixi still heard clearly.

But. She was even more surprised. Not him. It's the guy next to him.

"I didn't mean that. I want to go back and see him too. But who can stand it when he scolds people. I've been a mischievous one since I was a kid. Although it is said that the habit is scolded. But I'm all this old. I don't want to put up with it anymore. ”

The man next to him reluctantly spoke. Apparently. He didn't agree with Josie's words.

Ran Xixi's eyes widened suddenly. Unexpectedly. Qiao Yanne actually came back.

She actually knew where he was all along. If she really wanted to see him. It's not a difficult thing to do. After all. Diao Ranran, who has changed his name to Joe Rachel, has a very frequent business relationship with NG Group. Her company has been sponsoring perfume for its employees. Bonnie Kers and she meet almost twice a year.

In this case. Ran Xixi didn't know Qiao Yanne's movements at all. That's impossible.

Merely. She knew it all too well. The person he loves is not himself. And he has no love for him. So there is no need to contact. So as not to make it more embarrassing for everyone to meet.

Unexpectedly. I met ...... here.

It wasn't just Ran Xixi who heard the voices of the two brothers. The lawyer next to her naturally heard it. He was even more surprised than she was. Because the second young man of the Qiao family disappeared mysteriously at the wedding. Something missing. It spread almost throughout the Middle Sea. And the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes. It's almost a legend.

"I—Let's go somewhere else. ”

Ran Xixi stammered. Turning his head and proposing to Lu Qinghuan. Get out of here now.

Who knows. He grabbed her hand. Pulled her to the side of the bar and sat down. Ran Xixi's ass didn't sit down yet. Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne had already walked down the stairs. Almost at the same time. The eyes of the three of them were completely aligned in an instant. Each other looked surprised.

Even if Qiao Sijie is tight-lipped. But Rachel had already told Jo that Bonnie Kers had rescued her sister. So. As soon as he saw her. I recognized it.

I can't tell you how it feels. For Ran Xixi. Now. In her heart. The strongest emotion is embarrassment.

On the contrary, it is the law of Qinghuan. Still chatting with a part-time waitress. Ask her what kind of afternoon tea sets she has. Because neither he nor Ran Xixi had lunch. At this point, I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back.

"You're back. ”

In desperation. Ran Xixi had no choice but to get up. looked at the two men of the Qiao family.

The person she asked was actually Qiao Sijie. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yanne accidentally made a mistake. I thought the person she was asking was herself. Thereupon. Naturally, he replied, "Yes." Just came back. I heard that my dad is not doing well. It may not make it up. The hospital has issued a critical illness notice......"

Although I had long heard that Qiao Rin's health was worse than in previous years. But Ran Xixi didn't expect it. His condition would have deteriorated so quickly. It's only been a few months. It's already come to this point.

No wonder. Qiao Yanne took such a big risk. Also go back to Zhonghai. I'm afraid I don't want to leave regrets. So as not to see the last face of his biological father.

"It should be fine. Now medicine is enlightened. If domestic technology is limited. Why don't you go abroad? ”

All she could say was a few scenes. Trying to relieve Qiao Sijie. Because. Ran Xixi saw it. His face was very bad. Dark circles are heavy. Even the bags under the eyes came out. At first glance, it's like staying up all night. plus excessive fatigue.

The double burden of career and family is on Qiao Sijie's body. Candles burn at both ends. It's that no one can stand it. So. Rao is that he has always been capable. It's a bit unbearable at this point.

"That's what I thought I did. But. The doctor said. His current physical condition no longer makes it advisable to fly long distances. There may be danger halfway through. If nothing else. We'll take him to the hospice tomorrow. Hopefully he can spend his last days there. No more pain. ”

Qiao Sijie spoke softly. The tone was full of helplessness.

As soon as I heard this. Even Qiao Yanne, who was on the side, couldn't help but show sadness. He was gone for years. Because of the fear of being scolded by parents. I haven't been in touch with my family for years. This time. If it weren't for the fact that he had met an old friend in Italy. I heard that Qiao Rin's condition has reached a very serious point. I'm afraid he will still hide on the other side of the ocean. There was no news.

Even back in the middle of the ocean. Qiao Yanne still didn't dare to go home directly. Instead, he chose to meet with his eldest brother here. Ask about the situation first.

None of the three spoke again. But Lu Qinghuan, who had been sitting in his place, took the initiative to get up. Walked to Ran Xixi's side. He smiled at the two men opposite: "I didn't expect to meet here." What a coincidence. ”

Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne hadn't paid special attention to him before. Because Lu Qinghuan has been sitting against the bar. It was him when I saw him at the moment. Both of them were quite surprised.

But. Qiao Sijie was the first to react. Because Ran Xixi told him. She stayed to work with Lycoon's company. The two of them appeared together. Naturally, it is also reasonable.

"It turned out that the law manager was here. Look up for a long time. ”

He offered to reach out. He made a simple greeting with Lu Qinghuan. Compared to Qiao Sijie's waves, he is not shocked. Qiao Yanne on the side was as unruly as ever. He ignored the law. Didn't pay attention to Ran Xixi. I just talked to Qiao Sijie. And he went straight away.

"I'm sorry. He's always been like that. ”

Qiao Sijie was a little helpless. glanced at Qiao Yanne's back.

He who touches pitch will be defiled. I've been with that woman for a long time. This younger brother's personality is getting stronger and stronger. Hardly under anyone's control. Even the words of his big brother. It is no longer binding on him.

Ran Xixi still remembers. When she first returned to Zhonghai. As soon as I heard Qiao Sijie's name. Qiao Yanne will be like a mouse meets a cat. No matter how arrogant it is. It will also converge a little bit immediately. Now. He had completely broken free from any dogma that came from his family. No one could control him at all. Even Joss couldn't force him to do what he didn't want to do.

"That's right. How did you come up with the idea to come here. ”

Qiao Sijie squinted at Ran Xixi and Lu Qinghuan. I want to deduce the state that the two of them are in now. However. Helplessly. Due to not knowing much about the current situation. He really couldn't see anything.

"Passing by. Just come in and get something to eat. ”

A hand rested on Ran Xixi's shoulder. Gently hugging her. Lu Qinghuan smiled very naturally. replied casually.

This little action. It is enough to declare sovereignty. He felt.

Sure enough. Qiao Sijie's eyes flickered slightly. But he soon laughed as well: "You are rare guests. It's a valued guest. Be sure to try the fruit tarts here. Very tasty. And not too sweet. Very fruity. I personally love it. ”

Lu Qinghuan also smiled gently. His hand tightened slightly. Bring Ran Xixi closer. Then he bowed slightly: "What a coincidence." I just ordered it too. Seemingly. The tastes of the two of us are really similar. ”

I don't know if I'm thinking too much. Ran Xixi|I always feel that this sounds a little awkward. I felt uncomfortable for a while. But she couldn't have a seizure on the spot.

Didn't wait for the legendary tart to be served. Josie's phone rang.

He glanced at the number. Suddenly his face was nervous: "I'll answer the phone." It was my mother calling. ”

Lu Qinghuan and Ran Xixi both nodded: "Take it quickly." ”

Joss Jie held his phone. Walk briskly to the side. Pick it up quickly. This kind of time. He was actually very afraid of calling his family. I'm always worried about whether Qiao Rin can't do it. I'm going to have to rush over there right away.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death. Although it is human nature. But I really met it. It's still hard to take it in stride. ”

Seeing Qiao Sijie so panicked. Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh softly. Pick up your coffee cup. Take a sip.

Retract your gaze. Ran Xixi nodded. The interface said: "Although Qiao Yanne is back. But he couldn't really do anything. The affairs of the Qiao family have always been pressed on Sijie. Whether it's good or bad......"

"Esprit. ”

Lu Qinghuan stirred the coffee in front of him. A smile interrupted her.

She was speechless for a moment. But it reacted immediately. Look into his eyes. Ran Xixi admitted calmly: "Yes." That's what I always call him. He's one of my best friends. That will never change. ”

Joss Jie was at her most down. Reach out to her. did not fall into the trap for her because of her willful repentance at the beginning. And pay for her dreams again and again. This friendship. She will not forget until she dies.

In Ran Xixi's view. This kind of relationship has long surpassed ordinary male and female love. Even if it's one day. Each of them has found their other half. There will be no barriers between them. Will only bless each other. Not to mention. It was impossible for Joss to like her at all. Someone he likes. It has always been a taboo.
