Chapter 91: Hiding a knife in a smile
F University has a Xianghui Hall, remember that Yihui was not born at that time, Qiao's father took Qiao Yixia to F University, and traveled all over the landscape of this poetic university, it is not so majestic and beautiful, nor magnificent, but it is this simple and unpretentious red tile and white wall, so that no math students yearn for it, and regard receiving higher education in F University as the goal of their student days.
The girls wore fresh and simple ponytails, held textbooks in their arms, and had confident smiles on their faces, Qiao Yixia's father had always hoped that the two siblings would be admitted to his alma mater, but in the end, no one made this wish come true for him. Walking through Xi Garden, Yan Garden, and looking at the gurgling water under the small bridge, she seemed to see her father's youth.
Zhou Mengdie's counselor is over fifty years old, is a little rich, looks very kind aunt, called Wang Yan, now no longer a counselor, Qiao Yixia found her in the library, Wang Yan was a little embarrassed when she saw her, and later learned that every year there are previous graduates back to the school to visit the teacher, but she has a bad memory, and there are many students with her, often confused, when she first saw Qiao Yixia, she thought that this was the student she had brought, but she couldn't think of it.
"This incident was a good story in our department at that time." Teacher Wang smiled and bent her eyes, the corners of her eyes were a little wrinkled, and her voice was extremely gentle, not giving people any feeling of being unapproachable at all.
Wang Yan and Qiao Yixia walked together in the tree-lined path of Xi Garden, a boy with a flat head greeted her, she patted him on the shoulder very warmly, and asked him if he was going to class. With such a gentle teacher, it's no wonder that all the students like her.
"Don't think I have a bad memory, but I remember this better than anyone else." Wang Yan said, "At that time, Mengbutter was the flower we tied, it was very beautiful, and many young men liked her very much, and later, it should have been a junior year, Mengbutterfly was with a young man named Zou Kai, which made many boys joke that they were going to beat Zou Kai." Wang Yan giggled, her eyes looking into the distance, recalling this past.
Qiao Yixia didn't speak, Wang Yan suddenly slowed down, turned her head sideways and asked Qiao Yixia: "Speaking of which, the two of them should be married now, right?" ”
"They've broken up."
Wang Yan sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity." Although Zou Kai is not good-looking, he is very down-to-earth and kind, I thought they would be able to come together. ”
Wang Yan seemed to be a little tired, and sat on a bench at random, at first Qiao Yixia was worried that there was dust on the chair and had a mustard, but she was afraid that she would make Wang Yan feel embarrassed by standing there, so she forcibly sat next to her.
"If something happened to Dream Butterfly's sister, she must be very sad." Wang Yan shook her head and said regretfully, "Mengdie is really a good girl, she is handsome, she studies well, and she is very polite, and she has nothing to say about her sister, and there is no teacher in the department who doesn't like her." My sister has encountered such an unfortunate thing, and the saddest thing is Dream Butterfly. ”
At this moment, Wang Yan looked like a mother who felt sorry for her daughter, sighed over and over again, and finally had red eyes, and then she smiled awkwardly, deliberately pretending not to care, and said to Qiao Yixia with a smile: "Girl, you are so beautiful, are you a friend of Mengdie, you are also a star, right?" ”
Qiao Yixia shook her head and politely smiled back at Wang Yan: "Teacher, I'm not a star, I just told you, I'm a friend of Mengdie, she originally wanted to come and see you in person, but she wanted to take care of Mengdie, so she couldn't pull away, so she asked me to come." She will be very happy to see that you are healthy and well. ”
By the time we left F University, the afterglow of the setting sun had completely dissipated, and the sky had changed from a bright orange to a pale gray. She got into the car and started the engine, the neon lights on the side of the road shining brightly, keeping with the loneliness of the city. It seems that there are some things that she must meet Zou Kai and ask in person. For example, when did he and Zhou Mengdie get along, for example, who proposed to break up with Zhou Mengdie.
Qiao's father didn't know that Qiao Yixia had a connection with Jiang Xiage in private, and he didn't know that his daughter was helping Chenghuai investigate the case, if he knew about it, he was afraid that he would be furious. Fortunately, Qiao Yixia has a smart brain, even if she is not interested, she can master the relevant knowledge very well, she will be an excellent business manager, which is why he can rest assured that he can hand over the company to her.
Thinking of these, Qiao Yixia stepped on high heels and walked towards Qiao's revolving door, a short road, an ordinary day, but because of a graceful figure, it became extraordinary.
She was wearing a camel-colored short woolen sweater, loose and simple, with a circle of gold wire at the neckline, an A-line skirt underneath, and a white coat she bought for her last time in the mall, this coat is very long, it is difficult for ordinary people to control, and it is easy to look short, but she can dress better than a model, her long hair flutters in the air at will, and her face is facing the sky, but she is more beautiful than a flower in the world, like a fairy falling from the sky.
Lu Xifei rarely wears skirts, and occasionally wears them, which is not only Qiao Yixia's heart, but also this long and tasteless time.
"Didn't you say that you have to remember to fasten the buttons?" Qiao Yixia stepped forward, helped her button up, and touched her face, "My face is cold, it's cold." ”
"It's more beautiful without deductions."
"Hmm." Qiao Yixia responded to her while continuing to help her buckle it, "I've already seen the more beautiful side, you don't need to show this side to others, so now, I'll help you buckle it." ”
With that, she took her hand and took her inside, and Lu Xifei did not stand at the gate, but stood in a slightly remote corner, almost so that Qiao Yixia did not see her.
"I'm not going in." "I'm just here to tell you something, I don't want to disturb your work. ”
"That's good." As long as she spoke, Qiao Yixia naturally followed her in everything, her hands were still very cold, Qiao Yixia was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she approached her, wrapped her in a coat from behind, and held her left hand with both hands to help her warm, "You say." ”
Lucy gave her the bag in her right hand: "You take this." ”
The two of them distanced themselves a little, and Qiao Yixia took out the contents of the bag, which was a lunch box, heavy, and there should be a lot of delicious dishes in it. She just wanted to tell her that she didn't have to make a trip to cook for her, when she heard Lucy said, "I did what I promised you today, and I ate every meal on time." Originally, after returning home after explaining the case to Professor Wu, she was blown by the wind and had a headache, and she wanted to sleep directly, but when she thought that Qiao Yixia told her to eat well, she endured her sleepiness and made a dinner.
"Then will you promise me one more thing?" Qiao Yixia put the lunch box in the bag and hugged it.
"Yes."
"Don't bring me any more food in the future." Qiao Yixia said, "I let you eat on time for your body. But you brought me food on such a cold day, and after standing here for so long, it was easy to catch a cold. So in the future, as long as you eat yourself, can you promise me? ”
said that she was cooking for herself, but every dish was made according to Qiao Yixia's taste, and the company's food was not as good as at home, although Qiao Yixia always told her to eat on time, but she would also worry that Qiao Yixia would save time for eating in order to complete her work as soon as possible, and she also hoped that Qiao Yixia would be healthy.
"Yes." Luci nodded.
"Alright." Qiao Yixia stroked her face, "Go back quickly." Say goodbye to me when you get home. ”
Looking at the back of Lu Xifei who gradually disappeared from view, Qiao Yixia hugged the lunch box more tightly in her arms, and through the lunch box, she seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the dish, or rather, the warmth that Lu Xifei brought her.
She glanced up at the skyscraper behind her, and people in the clouds could also feel the happiness of ordinary people, fortunately, this happiness did not come too late, fortunately, when happiness came, she did not shy away and bravely grabbed her hand.
After Meng Liuchen opened the door, when he saw Helan Qiubai outside the door, the smile on his face froze for a moment. He didn't think that she would come to him in person, so he didn't know how to face her for a while, and what was even more tragic was that he didn't have tea at home, and he didn't even have the opportunity to figure out how to make tea to delay time.
He admitted that he was afraid of this sister-in-law from the beginning when he saw her, this fear was different from the fear of Lu Xifei, and he said that he was afraid of Lu Xifei's tone, but it was better to say that he was tolerant, he was willing to accept Lu Xifei's dictation to him, he was close to her in his heart, but it was different for Helan Qiubai, and he had always had a fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Liuchen, I'm not a tiger, what are you doing so nervous?"
"Nope." Meng Liuchen smiled awkwardly, "I just didn't expect that sister-in-law you would come to me......"
"So, are you happy or unhappy now?" Helan Qiubai stared at him deadly, his red lips curled, which made Meng Liuchen even more creepy.
Seeing that Meng Liuchen lowered her head and didn't speak, she got up and stepped forward to sit down beside him, and jokingly hugged his shoulder: "Okay, sister-in-law is joking with you, look at you, you're scared." She patted Meng Liuchen on the shoulder and asked, "How is it, is it okay here?" If you don't get used to it, I told my aunt that I'd better let you go back to Canada. ”
Meng Liuchen hurriedly shook his head: "No need, I want to stay here." I want to stay with my sister. ”
Helan Qiubai looked satisfied: "It seems that you get along well." I thought she would be very repulsive about you. ”
"Sister-in-law, no matter what I went back to China for, I really think my sister is very good."
"What do you mean by this, you want to draw a line with me?" Helan Qiubai's hand holding his shoulder increased its strength, but the smile on his face disappeared, and the big red on his mouth was particularly conspicuous and sharp.
Meng Liuchen broke free from her embrace, stood up, and lowered his head: "I didn't mean that." I just don't want to do anything bad for her. ”
"Is it bad for her to let her go back to her own home?"
"But sister, she has her own plans. We didn't do something self-righteous for her. Meng Liuchen looked away in annoyance, at that time, Helan Qiubai used this reason to trick him back from Canada. She said to herself that her sister was paranoid and refused to go home, and wanted him to help force her to go home.
He asked her what she was going to do, she told him about Psyjo, Helan Qiubai didn't tell anyone about it, including Meng Kejun, Meng Liuchen was the first person, she let Meng Liuchen get close to Lu Xifei, and after Lu Xifei fully trusted him, she got Psyjo's business secrets and investment trends, as long as Lu Xifei couldn't get along in Psyjo, without financial resources, the meager income she got from being a professor would definitely not be able to support her life. At that time, Lu Xifei will naturally go home. Although Meng Liuchen hesitated, he finally agreed.
"Besides, Shijing has my sister's hard work, and I can't do anything to make my sister sad."
"Don't forget how you promised me."
Helan Qiubai closed his lips tightly, his voice suddenly raised, and a pair of eyes looked at him like an enemy, terrifying and terrifying, he swore that he had never seen such terrible eyes, he unconsciously took a few steps back and looked away.
She got up and grabbed Meng Liuchen's chin, and said viciously: "If you say you regret what you promised me?" You're not small. ”
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I know it's me who is wrong, but no matter what you say, I will never help you again."
He was ready to tear his face with Helan Qiubai, but Helan Qiubai suddenly laughed gently, as if she had heard a nice joke, and even bent down to rub her stomach, and soon she raised her head and patted Meng Liuchen's back apologetically: "Scared you, right?" She hugged the frightened Meng Liuchen and said, "Silly Liuchen, seeing that you have such a good relationship with Xifei, it's too late for my sister-in-law to be happy, how can I blame you?" ”
