Chapter 18: I Don't Want to Leave You Alone

Lu Ze carefully hugged Qiao Qiao and sent her back to the bedroom to sleep, then turned back to the beach to clean up the mess, cleaned up the leftover wine and cake one by one, and then packed the rest of the things and put them back in Qiao Qiao's bedroom. He tried not to make a sound, for fear of waking Jojo, who was barely asleep because of the small amount of sleeping pills in the milk.

After putting away the qi qi and pinching the thin quilt on Qiao Qiao's body for her, Lu Ze sat on the side of the bed for a long time and stared at her, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Qiao Qiao's quiet sleeping face.

He is not inherently cold and reticent, he is just used to seeing others have plans for profit. He has also been used to being alone for a long time, so long that he feels that life is not enthusiastic and meaningful. It doesn't make sense to get married or not, and it doesn't make sense to have children or not. One less human being is just combining and multiplying, so what is there? After a lifetime, you can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death. Even if you don't get married, have children, and have no offspring, it's just one less person who erects a monument, and you are dead, so what does it matter?

He has been trapped in this kind of situation for almost ten years, treating life coldly and indifferently, living slowly according to the preset track, and often losing sleep, because it is especially easy to make people think about what is the meaning of life at night.

However, at this moment, a little spark ignited in his heart, and he felt that in this life, he wanted to accompany someone, protect someone, join hands with her, and accompany her to the end of his life.

This ignited spark can start a prairie fire.

The tip of Lu Ze's right index finger gently stroked the side of Qiao Qiao's face, and the itchy feeling on his face made Qiao Qiao, who was not sleeping well, frown slightly and turned over again. Lu Ze withdrew his hand, and saw that Qiao Qiao finally turned around and continued to sleep quietly, before getting up and gently going out and closing the door.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning, but Lu Ze, who had been sleeping intermittently for several hours while waking up from a dream, was woken up by the constant ringing of his mobile phone. He frowned slightly and picked up his phone on the bedside table, but there was no caller ID.

But the ringtone of the mobile phone is still singing, and Lu Ze himself uses the preset ringtone of the mobile phone, so it is not his mobile phone that is ringing.

Lu Ze reacted slightly for a while, and then remembered that when he came back with Qiaoqiao, because she was so dazed that she couldn't hold the mobile phone in her hand, he put Qiaoqiao's mobile phone in his pocket, and then forgot to put it back in the room for her. Lu Ze got up and took out the mobile phone in his coat, and the flashing caller ID on it was "Community Property - Old", a phone from his hometown City A.

Because of the long delay, the phone has been automatically hung up twice. However, after only three seconds, it immediately began to ring again, and it seemed that the other party was very urgent.

Lu Ze didn't know if Qiaoqiao woke up or not, but she didn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning this morning, and he didn't want to wake her up for the property's call. But the property kept redialing the phone, maybe there was something urgent in the house, such as water leakage, so Lu Ze picked it up first, wanting to see what happened to the other party, and then decide when to convey it.

As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Ze didn't have time to say that he was not himself, and the other party said urgently: "Miss Jiang, can you come for a trip?" We really can't help it, your grandparents and stepmother found a locksmith early in the morning to unlock your house, and we stopped it. They have been sitting here for a long time now, and they won't leave until they open the door. But this is an old man and a pregnant woman with a big belly, and it is your family, and Chen Pian said that he couldn't take care of it! Can you give it a trip? ”

The other party's string of cannons, Lu Ze didn't even find a chance to interrupt, and it wasn't until the other party finished speaking in one breath that Lu Ze replied lightly: "You made a mistake." ”

Lu Zeli hung up the phone, thinking that this was the wrong owner's number dialed by the property in the community, but fortunately he didn't wake up Qiaoqiao.

The person who was talking over there was stunned when he heard the sound of a man answering the phone here, and then heard Lu Ze say that he had made a mistake and hung up the phone, and hurriedly checked the mobile phone number, yes. Suddenly, the man reacted, patted himself on the head, and redialed it.

Lu Ze heard the bell and looked again, it was still the phone just now, and he connected it again, but the other party didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't hang up!" Don't hang up! I'm not mistaken! Jiang Qiao is former name, I look for Qiao Qiao, Miss Qiao. Is Miss Joe here? ”

Lu Ze frowned slightly, and replied lightly: "I'm not here for the time being, and I'll get back to you when it's convenient for her." ”

"Then please let her do her best kuài, you must do her best kuài!"

Lu Ze hung up the phone, went to Qiaoqiao's door silently, waited against the wall for a long time, and waited until Qiaoqiao, who had slept until he woke up naturally, opened the door.

As soon as Qiao Qiao, who woke up, went out, he almost bumped into Lu Ze, who was waiting outside, and quickly stopped his steps. But the two were so close that she had to try to tilt her head to see Lu Ze, Qiao Qiao asked Lu Ze who seemed to be obviously waiting for her in a little confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Ze looked at Qiao Qiao's puzzled face, which seemed to be a little confused when he just woke up, and he couldn't help but stretch out his empty right hand and flick the slightly scattered broken hair on Qiao Qiao's forehead. He lowered his head and smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, not at all like the cold and silent appearance he used to be.

Lu Ze's warm fingertips gently brushed Qiaoqiao's forehead, so startled that she couldn't help but close her eyes, took a small step back, and her back was against the door. Qiao Qiao, who had just woken up, reached out to cover his forehead, which was gently brushed by Lu Ze, and was a little unable to react to this intimate physical contact for a while.

What's wrong? Lu Ze has always been very careful about controlling the distance, and when he stopped her from paying the bill, he would gently pull her wrist through the long sleeves of his coat and let it go. When pulling her up from the court, he also held the edge of the racket to get her up, rather than reaching out to shake her hand.

So, how suddenly now? Uh, thinking about it, she actually drank a little bit last night, why doesn't she remember how she came back? What happened?

Seeing Qiao Qiao's surprised look, Lu Ze withdrew his hand hanging in the air, just pointed to her forehead, and said in a low voice: "The bangs are a little messy." Lu Ze's voice was as low and magnetic as usual, but his tone was not as cold and indifferent as usual, but with a slight mildness and pampering, like warm velvet brushing the side of his ears, which made people a little itchy.

Hmm, okay. After listening to Lu Ze's explanation, Qiao Qiao hurriedly flicked his bangs with his hand, wondering if maybe the strength of the wine was still a little over, as if he was hallucinating...... It's probably a bit inaccurate to judge other people's voices and expressions.

"Did you sleep well?" Lu Ze listened to the top of Qiaoqiao's head and asked in a low voice.

"It's good, I didn't dream." Qiao Qiao put down his hand to arrange his bangs and asked with some confusion, "Did I drink too much last night?" How come I can't remember how I got back? ”

Lu Ze replied noncommittally: "You fell asleep, I brought you back, and the things are all on the desk in your room." He handed the phone out, "I forgot to give you the phone, just now there was a property that kept calling you, so I will answer it for you first." ”

Jojo took his phone suspiciously, "Property? ”

"Well, the other party asked you to call back as much as you can."

Qiao Qiao swiped the screen and clicked on the call record, and when he saw the specific number, he couldn't help frowning slightly, said hello to Lu Ze, and then turned around and went back to his room to call back.

After the phone was connected, the other party saw that the owner had been contacted, and he was relieved, and repeated what he had said to Lu Ze again, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but gently put his forehead against the wall, and he couldn't control his feelings for a while. Why does it have to be today?

"What about Jiang Jianguo? Have you contacted him? Jojo seemed to even shout the name, and his voice was a little astringent and hoarse.

"Contacted, kept shutting down. Hey, this, this, your stepmother said that every year in the first few days of the eighth day of the new year, your father disappeared, and he couldn't find anyone without answering the phone for a few days. She is still like this now that she is pregnant with her son, so this ...... This one...... The other party's pregnant woman is excited, we are really clean officials and difficult to cut off family affairs......"

Whether it is "father" or "stepmother", these titles are strongly harsh for Qiaoqiao, especially on days like today. But the staff of the property are also innocent, and Jojo closes his eyes and tries to calm his feelings, not wanting to be angry with others.

It took a long time for her to ask, with difficulty and hoarseness, "Is she pregnant?" ”

"Yes, it's been four months. So we are really embarrassed, saying that we are still pregnant with a son, and if the pregnant woman is with us, what will happen to us, this is really ......."

Jojo closed his eyes, "Are they going to unlock and move in?" ”

"Yes. We said that there was no real estate certificate to stop, but they took your father's household registration book to rip off...... "The property is also difficult, Qiaoqiao's family was a farce back then, they and Chen Pian Police both know that now the owner is Qiaoqiao, but her household registration has long been moved away and settled in City B, and her father, the previous owner's household registration has not moved out." Two old men and a pregnant woman, the lord who can't be provoked anywhere, how can they be messed up.

After a general understanding of the situation with the property, Qiaoqiao hung up the phone. After a long hesitation, she slowly began to enter the 11-digit mobile phone number. The contact has long been deleted, but the number has never been forgotten. Dial guò to go, and sure enough, it was turned off.

Qiao Qiao finally left a text message, "Jiang Jianguo, call back." ”

After simply packing up and booking the nearest flight, Jojo plans to go back to City A to put an end to these old things that have surfaced again.

Obviously, a long time has passed, Qiao Qiao opened the door again, and Lu Ze was still standing outside. Qiao Qiao and Lu Ze, who had recovered their peace, mentioned that they were going back to City A, so they asked him to take care of the old people, and hid it from them, telling them to go back to City B to deal with some work matters.

Lu Ze said that he happened to have something to go back to City A, and the old man usually lived independently, with money and mobile phones, it should be no big problem if the two of them were not there.

Lu Ze went back and Qiao Qiao didn't ask, and the two of them went downstairs together, lying in unison without changing their faces. Qiao Qiao said that the company had an urgent matter today and wanted to go back to City B, and Lu Ze also said that the company had something to go back to. Work is the right thing, and then look at Qiaoqiao is not as low as the eighth day of the new year in previous years, but has work to occupy his mind, and the old man is also very happy.

Whether it was on the way to the airport or during the flight, Qiao Qiao kept looking out the window silently, and Lu Ze didn't speak, just sat next to her and accompanied her silently.

When the plane landed, Qiao Qiao planned to go separate from Lu Ze, who "said that he happened to have something to go back to City A", but Lu Ze gently grabbed her wrist, "I'll send you." ”

The idle off-road vehicle that Gao Minghao never forgot before was parked in the parking lot of the airport by Lu Ze when he set off. Qiao Qiao shook his head politely, "No need, I'll just take a taxi, I have to go somewhere else." ”

"You can go anywhere, I'll send you."

Seeing Lu Ze's insistence, Qiao Qiao gently pulled out her wrist and agreed, she really didn't have the extra strength to argue now.

The cold air that comes out of the airport is really different from the warm winter at the seaside. Walking into the parking lot, you can see Lu Ze's unusually strong and tough off-road vehicle far beyond ordinary models from a distance.

Even Qiao Qiao, who was a little confused, couldn't help but think that in the past, when he saw Lu Ze driving this style of car, he only felt that it was a little inconsistent with his temperament, and now he thought that the most famous feature of this rare and expensive model in China is that it is extremely crash-resistant and can even be bulletproof. And Gao Minghao mentioned before that Lu Ze bought two identical cars, and this is also the one in City B.

Lu Ze's past, at this extremely sensitive moment, quietly pierced Qiao Qiao's heart.

Qiao Qiao needed to go back to her grandmother's house first, and Lu Ze sent her over. When passing by the doorman, Jojo was stopped by a shout. The doorman said to Qiaoqiao that during the Chinese New Year, a pregnant woman came to look for her, and the uncle said that Qiaoqiao and her family went to the beach for a month on vacation, and only came back after a month, but the other party left without leaving any message.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Qiao nodded to indicate that he knew, went to his grandmother's house, and took out the real estate certificate that had not been touched for more than six years.

Lu Ze sent Qiao Qiao back to the community where she used to grow up, and when she arrived at the gate of the community, Qiao Qiao called Lu Ze to stop, "It's good here, I'll just walk in." Go ahead and get busy, thank you for sending me here. Qiaoqiao wanted to unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car, but was stopped by Lu Ze.

"I'll go with you." Lu Ze leaned over and fastened the co-pilot's seat belt for her again, "I don't have anything else, I answered the property call first, so I know it, I'll accompany you." ”

Qiao Qiao sat in the co-pilot in a daze, so Lu Ze flew this trip specifically to accompany her? Lu Ze lowered his head to help her buckle her seat belt, but the distance between the two was only a few centimeters, and the breathing in the quiet car could be heard.

"Thank you, but I really don't need to, I can handle it alone."

Buckle the co-pilot's seat belt, Lu Ze looked up at Qiao Qiao, there seemed to be pity in his deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "I know you can do it alone." He reached out and touched the top of Jojo's head, "But I insisted." ”

Qiao Qiao couldn't say anything for a while, but Lu Ze restarted the car and sent her in.

Qiao Qiao, who came back to his senses, guided Lu Ze to walk through the community, and after a while, he saw a number of people sitting in front of a residential building from a distance, two old people and a pregnant woman sitting firmly like Mount Tai, and there were people next to him who kept persuading.

"Don't go down with me, I'll just go down alone, it's actually a private matter, it's not going to be anything, it's okay." Qiao Qiao said to Lu Ze.

Stopping the car and turning off the engine and loosening the seat belt, Lu Ze turned his head and said to Qiao Qiao seriously: "The other party is an old man, an elder or a pregnant woman, what should you do if you do it?" "Sometimes the biggest problem of single girls is that there is no deterrent, the robber will pick a single girl to start, the obscene will pick a single girl to follow, and even run the decoration If you are a single girl to bargain, people will kill you twice.

Lu Ze's worry made Qiao Qiao smile lightly, she had always planned to live her life alone, and she had been mentally prepared for these, if she couldn't deal with these, why not insist on celibacy.

It's a pity that Lu Ze is also very stubborn, no matter what Qiao Qiao says that he can be alone, he will not listen. It's like last night by the sea, stubbornly insisting on sitting next to her.

Qiaoqiao, who had no choice, had no choice but to let Lu Ze drive out again and found a decoration company outside the community. Qiao Qiao went in and asked, "I need to seal the door with iron bars, as fast as possible, please find a welder who is as strong as possible." ”

This request is a bit eye-catching, and the other party is a little hesitant, what is this going to do? Demolition disputes?

Qiao Qiao took out the real estate certificate, "My house, I need to weld the doors and windows, the denser the better, you can take someone to the property with me first to confirm that I am the owner and then weld the door." Twice the price. ”

This kind of quick money, or the owner's own house, then there is no problem. The foreman called a few sturdy welders to resist the iron bar, and they went over with Qiaoqiao.

When I arrived at the property, Uncle Li, the staff member who called Qiaoqiao, was tired and sweaty in the winter and was eating instant noodles. "Jiang ...... Hey, Miss Joe, you're here. What is this for? Want to close the door? You don't want this house? Ay...... Well, well, you haven't lived in all these years......"

Uncle Li and a few welders brought by the contractor confirmed that Qiao Qiao was the owner, so Qiao Qiao paid half of the deposit in advance, and asked them to go upstairs to seal the door as if they were going to decorate.

Qiaoqiao's grandparents and stepmother were originally sitting at the door of the stairs blocking the door and not allowing them to enter or exit, but a few sturdy men with five big and three thick faces carried iron bars and said don't delay them to go in to decorate other houses, which looked terrifying, so they honestly moved away.

The workers who sealed the door had already gone up, and Qiao Qiao passed, and Lu Ze was still silent and patient by her side, not speaking, but he also refused to leave to wait for her in the car.

Seeing Qiao Qiao coming, her grandparents and stepmother couldn't tell whether they were excited or resentful for a while, and then they saw that there was an outstanding young man beside her, and the car they drove was worth a lot of money at first glance, and it was even more complicated.

Grandpa Jiang opened his mouth first, but there was no conflict, but he pointed at his daughter-in-law with emotion, "Jiang Qiao, look, your new mother is pregnant with a younger brother for you, and my old Jiang family can be regarded as having a queen." Grandma Jiang supported her pregnant daughter-in-law, who looked no more than thirty, Zhang Fang supported her waist and smiled at Qiao Qiao, "Jiang Qiao, we have no malicious intentions. I just can't contact you, and the doorman who went to your house said that you went to the beach for a month, and we didn't have your mobile phone number, so there was no way. ”

All the while, Jojo always tried to maintain the scene as gently and politely as possible, never taking off the mask of her socialization. This is the first time Lu Ze has seen her so fierce and angular side, Qiao Qiao coldly watched his relatives come to greet him, and he didn't even have a trace of politeness, "Don't call me Jiang Qiao, I don't have the surname Jiang." This house is not surnamed Jiang either. What else? ”

Hearing the sudden sound of the welding door from upstairs, several people's faces changed, but they didn't dare to rush upstairs to directly stop the few workers who looked fierce, after all, they were pregnant and their grandsons were the biggest. Zhang Fangrou, who was holding her stomach and supporting her waist, looked weak and weak, "Jiang Qiao, they are all family, why do you want to make such a fuss." The one in my belly is also your own brother, and it is also your father's own flesh and blood...... I also paid the price for what happened back then, and I raised it for so many years before I became pregnant with a second one, can't I treat it as if everything is over? ”

Seeing Zhang Fang like a human bird with pear blossoms and rain, Qiao Qiao didn't bother to correct the other party's name, because she found that no matter whether the other party called her Jiang Qiao or Qiao Qiao, it made her feel disgusting. Qiao Qiao replied with a calm smile: "Sue sù I want to have a brother, what else is the matter?" ”

Zhang Fangyu hesitated and cried: "We can't help it." I used to live with my in-laws, but now I'm pregnant, plus your dad, the two-bedroom living room is crowded. When your brother is born, where will my mother's family take care of the confinement child? What about your brother? You don't know how expensive it is to raise a child now, milk powder diapers, school reading, school district housing. This is still the only seedling of the Lao Jiang family, and when he grows up, he doesn't even have a place to marry a wife and have children. You also feel sorry for your father, how old is he, he is still running outside, and he has to work part-time to make money after school, he has not forgotten your mother, every year when he reaches the eighth year of junior high school, he can't find it, this house was given to you back then, you said to change your surname, and your father didn't say to take back the house. If it weren't for the fact that life was really hard, we wouldn't have come to you. Zhang Fang rubbed her red and swollen eyes crying, patted her mother-in-law holding her hand, and sighed: "I know that you are actually a filial child in your heart, saying that you will play with your grandparents and grandparents by the sea for a month, and you will not blink an eye when you spend money." You see that you have grown up and made money now, and your household registration has also fallen in City B, and the two houses here are left empty, and you don't even earn any rent. ”

While crying and sharpening her teeth, while showing weakness while emphasizing that she is pregnant with your brother, while saying that she feels sorry for her father's hard work over the years, she said that the house is empty and it is better to be filial to her grandparents.

Qiao Qiao watched Zhang Fang's performance and cried enough, and replied with a smile: "Life is hard, it's not easy to raise children and support a family, right?" What are you afraid of? You have love and water, you have true love! People who have true love are not afraid of the world, not afraid of rumors, not afraid of a piece of marriage letter, not afraid of having a wife and daughter at home, and not afraid of anything. What kind of house to live in, it's worth sleeping on the streets! ”

With such a sharp Qiaoqiao, Zhang Fang's face turned pale, and he began to hum while holding his stomach. The mother-in-law was worried about the roots of the Dumiao Jiang family in her stomach, and hurriedly helped her find a place to sit down. Jiang Jiabai gave birth to you, a money-losing girl! Before he could take a step, Lu Ze blocked in front of Qiao Qiao, and his height alone gave people a strong sense of oppression, making the old man take half a step back.

Grandma Jiang glanced at Lu Ze sneeringly, "Qiaoqiao, is this your object?" In fact, Qiao Qiao was originally Jiang Qiao's nickname, and it was not unpleasant for her grandmother to shout.

The cold Lu Ze didn't say anything at all, but just blocked in front of Qiao Qiao with an expressionless face. It was impossible for Qiao Qiao to pick this time to explain that Lu Ze was not her boyfriend, so they misunderstood.

Zhang Fang looked at Lu Ze's handsome appearance, and then thought about marrying a man who was more than ten years older than him, but now he even lived in a tight house, he couldn't help but feel sad, wiped his tears and said: "Jiang Qiao, you see that one car your boyfriend drives now is enough for us to have a few houses, so why bother us like this." ”

Qiaoqiao didn't bother to engage in this kind of verbal battle with her at all, and just as she was about to speak, the mobile phone in her hand rang, and Qiaoqiao picked it up and looked at it, even if it was an 11-digit mobile phone number that was not kept, she knew who called.

Answering the phone, the voice over there was excited and trembling, "Jojo, Jojo...... You've finally called your dad...... I'm right in front of your mother's grave, it's her birthday on the lunar calendar, and my father hasn't forgotten it......"

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but close her eyes and said coldly: "Jiang Jianguo, she doesn't need this kind of memory from you. Your current affection is just to make your own conscience a little better. Qiao Qiao glanced at Zhang Fang's stomach, "Your wife and your parents are making trouble with me now, if you can't come and take them away, I won't guarantee anything." After all, for more than 20 years, I feel that if I don't have a son, it means that my life has been in vain, and the person who is ashamed of my ancestors is your Jiang family. ”

When Qiao Qiao said this, Jiang Jianguo's voice immediately became anxious, "Qiao Qiao, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, I'll come over immediately, you ...... Your stepmother has your brother in her belly......"

Listening to Qiao Qiao's last words when she hung up the phone, Zhang Fang was so angry that she didn't pretend to cry, "What do you mean by not guaranteeing?" Jiang Qiao, don't deceive people too much! Don't think I don't know the law, but then I studied it, when your mother passed away, those properties should be divided equally between husband and wife first, and then inherited equally! As a daughter, you only have one-eighth of the inheritance! Why should you take a suite? But your dad gave it to you! You still say that, white-eyed wolf! ”

Qiao Qiao smiled softly, "It's hard for you to also study the inheritance law." Well, I've also researched it, so in order to avoid this from happening, I made a will when I was twenty-one years old, and it is still the most effective notarized will, ensuring that when I die, not a penny of the inheritance will be left to my younger brother who comes out, are you happy? ”

When they said this, they didn't know how to answer for a while. No one thought that Qiaoqiao, who was 21 years old at the time, would make a will, but Qiaoqiao himself thought of it. She even foresaw the future when she wanted to be celibate for the rest of her life, and saw that the heir who might be the highest in order after her death was her half-brother, and then made a will.

However, there was a man who did the same thing as her at the age of 18.

Lu Ze gently held Qiao Qiao's hand. Qiaoqiao broke free slightly, but he couldn't break free. Lu Ze has been silent, respecting her wishes expressed in the car before, and does not participate in her family affairs. just stood in front to cover her when the other party was excited, just heard the sadness in her light smile tone, and then held her warmly and powerfully.

When Jiang Jianguo arrived, he rushed down from the car as soon as possible and nervously checked Zhang Fang's stomach, "Does it hurt?" To go to the hospital or not? Is there something wrong with the child? Zhang Fang was so angry that he hammered him, "I play missing every year!" You have a conscience! Look at the wolf-hearted daughter you gave birth to! You are kind enough to leave a house for her, but she made a will at a young age, just to prevent her brother! ”

Jiang Jianguo only responded, a little expectant, but a little afraid to see his daughter who he hadn't seen for many years. He still remembers that in this house, Qiao Qiao, who had a blank face, said to him, Jiang Jianguo, I want to change my surname, I want this house in the inheritance, you can drive it, and you can take the other set of cars and cash, but I want this house.

Jiang Jianguo, who had a splitting headache at the time, couldn't help her, so he agreed. Zhang Fang is a son in her belly, Zhang Fang is more than a decade younger than him, she just wants a name, he just wants a divorce, how do you know that it has reached such a point.

From that day on, she no longer had the surname Jiang, and she never called him dad again. It's a pity that the child in Zhang Fang's belly was not saved, and she recuperated for so many years before she became pregnant again, but fortunately, she was a son again.

As the only pillar of the family, Jiang Jianguo is at least the best to speak internally. He stuffed his parents and wife into the car and waited for him, and went to communicate with Jojo himself.

Zhang Fang, who was sitting in the front seat, was depressed, she was only eight years old when she was older than Qiaoqiao, when she saw Jiang Jianguo's two suites and a car, she was an elegant Chinese teacher at the secondary school, she spoke with connotation, and from time to time she brought a little outside classes and extra money, and she felt that it didn't matter if she was older, it just hurt people. How do you know that it doesn't feel like that now, indecisive, high or low, and when you get older, your career will not be rushed, will you really be crammed into a house with your parents-in-law in the future?

Looking at the dilapidated car that he had driven for ten years, and then comparing it with Lu Ze's off-road vehicle parked on the side, I felt more and more uneven, and felt that the good conditions back then were nothing more than that.

Finally stuffing his parents and pregnant wife into the car, Jiang Jianguo turned around and saw Qiao Qiao settling the accounts for the welder workers. Thinking of his wife complaining to herself, saying that Qiao Qiao made a will to guard against him, and she was not polite to her grandparents, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He sighed and said, "Jojo, why are you bothered? Weld all the doors and windows, and this house is still missing. They just see that this place has been empty for six or seven years, and you don't live in it and don't rent it, so they want to be empty and empty, and your grandparents live in it for a while, and they don't want you to transfer the property. ”

Jojo turned a deaf ear, as if he couldn't see him in front of him. Jiang Jianguo was also depressed, and he wanted to vomit after holding back his words for many years, "Is it all my fault for what happened back then?" Do I have a common language with your mother? She didn't understand what the books I read said, and every time we walked around the study, she only knew how to go around the kitchen. The two of us couldn't communicate at all. A marriage without feelings can't last, I just want to get a divorce...... She was not in good health and couldn't be stimulated, and she left suddenly, and I didn't expect it......"

For the first time since he appeared, Qiao Qiao looked at him head-on, "Jiang Jianguo, when you married her, she was three years older than you, and you said that the female junior hugged the gold brick, and it was you who later fell in love with you as a teenager." When you married her, you praised her for being virtuous around the kitchen stove, and it was you who later fell in love with the little white flowers of spring and snow. When you married her, she was in good health, but you later had three miscarriages in order to have a son, and her body collapsed. You said that you and she don't have a common language, and when you married her, you didn't know? You said that she was not in good health and could not be stimulated, can't you wait for me to come back and then file for divorce with her? That son just made you so much waiting? Then why didn't you make it clear to her before you got married? Why didn't you strangle me when I landed and found out it was a daughter? ”

"Jojo...... Dad doesn't dislike you, Dad just wants to have both children ......" Jiang Jianguo looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes, "There are so many books in the study, Dad read them to you one by one, right?" You study so well, your father taught you, right? Do you remember when you were a kid and you scored two hundred points in the test to report the good news to your father......"

Qiao Qiao interrupted him expressionlessly, "Qiao Qiao is so obedient, but it's a pity that he is not a son." Jojo is so smart, but it's a pity that he is not a son. Jojo is really considerate, but unfortunately not a son. Jiang Jianguo, you really don't know how hurtful the regret behind this praise since I was a child. But I've come here, I don't need your affirmation and praise anymore, I can affirm myself. ”

Jiang Jianguo was choked and speechless, and asked sneeringly after opening his mouth a few times: "I haven't been in touch for several years, Qiaoqiao, is this a boyfriend or is he married?" ”

Lu Ze didn't speak, and Qiao Qiao didn't answer, only told Jiang Jianguo not to contact her again.

The lost Jiang Jianguo walked to the car, and when he left, he looked up several times and looked at the home where he had lived with his former wife and daughter for more than ten years.

When they finally left, Qiao Qiao couldn't control her feelings a little, and at a time like her mother's birthday, she was dragged back to such a past, facing the home where she had lived for many years.

She insisted on this house because she wanted to lock the past firmly here, and she couldn't accept selling it, nor could she accept someone else living in it and destroying it, but she didn't dare to live in it herself.

She thought she was brave enough, but she still didn't dare to look up at this place full of memories. She has no way to face her past, because in every fragment of the past, there is a father and a mother. She used to try very hard to want them to be proud of her and to give them material happiness, but before she graduated, that home was gone, and her mother was gone.

Qiao Qiao broke away from Lu Ze's hand and turned his head to look at the staircase of the black hole, "It's really okay now, can you just let me stay alone for a while." ”

But Lu Ze stretched out his hand, hugged her directly, pressed her head on his shoulder, and gently patted the top of her head.

I know you said you're okay, it's a lie.

I also know that you said that you can do it alone, and that is true.

It's just that I don't want to leave you here alone at such a moment.

Qiaoqiao's forehead rested on Lu Ze's shoulder socket, she knew that this was inappropriate, and she knew that she should politely distance herself. But she suddenly had a little bit of greed, someone comforted her, someone gently patted her back, someone gently touched her head, and someone hugged her tightly.

She never wanted to grow up, never wanted to shrink under the wings of her parents or others. Because she knows that everyone who doesn't grow up just adds more trouble to the people who shelter her.

But at this moment, she suddenly coveted this warm embrace.

Qiao Qiao was in Lu Ze's arms, holding the hem of his coat with both hands, his body trembled slightly, forbearance and restraint, but in the end, he couldn't help it, and tears poured down.
