Chapter 250: The Box
CRISTINA ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHONE STOPPED ABRUPTLY, AND SUDDENLY HAD A BAD PREMONITION: "WHY, WHY?" β
"I've heard this kind of old meme, is there any other reason to be a little new?" Yunxi stood up indifferently from the window and walked to the balcony. In the garden, the green grass exudes a cool smell with a kind of humidity unique to the night.
"Heard?" CRISTINA REPEATED INCREDULOUSLY IN A LOW VOICE.
Yunxi smiled coldly, she had heard Qiao Lao and them mention the matter of the box and the key before, but it was just an excuse to catch the Zhan family in a trick. Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhang have already had no possibility in their careers, how could they go to great lengths for such a box involving "official fortune and prosperity"? It's just that the one in the Zhan family was blinded by the immediate interests, and he completely heard that there was such a thing, so he had the attitude of "I'd rather believe it than believe it", so he became their pawn.
CRISTINA WAS STUNNED, AND SHE ALMOST DOUBTED THAT THE LAST WEIGHT SHE WAS CARRYING WAS USELESS, AND HER WHOLE PERSON TREMBLED A LITTLE. If, if Leng Yunxi refused to help her, Qiao Lao would never admit his identity so easily, most likely, not to kill her, but in this life, she would never want to speak in front of the public again. Even if it was imprisonment, he would make her disappear from the world. Thinking of this, she simply hated her impulsiveness, if, if she had taken a step earlier, she had called Leng Yunxi first, and then made a decision, perhaps, she still had a way back, but now, she was already standing at the mouth of the cliff, there was nothing, as long as she took a step back, she would never be ...... beyond her life. Suddenly, a bright color flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered something, and suddenly her voice was raised: "No, no, there really is that box!" β
CRISTINA didn't give Yunxi a chance to speak, and continued to say quickly: "My mother told me that the entire Leng family protected this box tightly, and at that time, a colleague heard the news and sent someone to steal it, and later, it disappeared from B City the next day. At the beginning, I heard that there was a lot of trouble in a small area, and everyone said that it must be something that the Leng family did not pass on, at least it was also a family heirloom, so no one dared to fight that idea later. Think about it, if the people of the Zhan family don't know the truth or falsehood, how can they be so easily fooled? If you still don't believe me, you can look it up! With Qiao Zimo's ability, he can definitely find out this matter clearly! β
WHAT CRISTINA DIDN'T SAY WAS THAT NOT ONLY DID SHE HEAR HER MOTHER SAY IT AS A JOKE, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS THAT SHE HAD HEARD MR. ZHANG MENTION IT WHEN SHE WAS MR. ZHANG'S CONFINEMENT. It's just that at that time, she didn't take it to heart at all, she only remembered that when Mr. Zhang said that when he was forced to Hong Kong, he had thought of various ways to go back, one of which was to prepare to start this cold family's box, and after that, it didn't work, and I don't know if it was because the box was too well protected at the beginning, or he didn't have a chance to do it at all. It's just that when she said this, she was in bed, and she really didn't want to mention everything in front of Leng Yunxi. is also an upright youth, she Leng Yunxi is noble everywhere, but she has been tossing and turning several times and living under countless men. Rao is no matter how thick-skinned she is, she also has shame.
Yunxi held the hand of the balcony railing and paused slightly.
CRISTINA DOESN'T NEED TO TELL HER THIS KIND OF LIE AT SUCH A TIME, SHE ALSO UNDERSTANDS HER CURRENT SITUATION, IF THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AT THE BEGINNING, DARE TO TELL THIS KIND OF LIE, NOT TO MENTION THE MEANS OF QIAO LAO WAITING FOR HER, SHE CAN MAKE CRISTINA UNABLE TO EAT AND WALK AROUND!
It's just that, if there really is such a box, why, she is so favored at home, but she has never heard of it?
Yunxi fell into a brief contemplation.
What Qiao Lao was thinking about, since it was not an excuse, why, after framing the Leng family to "assist in the investigation", there was no movement?
Or is he always waiting for an opportunity?
With her right hand, she tapped lightly on the railing, and her eyes looked deeply into her yard.
EVEN IF CRISTINA DOESN'T CALL TODAY, SHE IS ALSO GOING TO GIVE QIAO LAO A UNIQUE "MEETING GIFT" WHEN HE GOES TO HONG KONG, THE REASON WHY CRISTINA IS HANGING IS JUST TO MAKE HER COMPLETELY LOSE THE INITIATIVE AND OBEY HER OWN ASSIGNMENT, SO IT WILL ALSO BE ARRANGED LATER, BUT SINCE SHE MENTIONED THIS BOX, NO MATTER WHAT IS INSIDE, IT SEEMS THAT SHE STILL HAS TO CHECK THE ...... CAREFULLY.
"Wait for my call." However, before that, first of all, she has to check a priori whether there is really such an important "box" as zΓ i.
CRISTINA EXHALED HEAVILY, AND SUDDENLY FELT A SENSE OF RELIEF.
She really doesn't have many hole cards, as long as she can let Leng Yunxi help her this time, after turning over, she can earn everything back. What if you keep your voice down, as long as you can give her a righteous and bright name!
Suddenly, as if she was crazy, she threw away the mobile phone in her hand, and she crooked into the corner, holding her head in her hands, and cried out in a heart-rending voice.
Why! Why can someone else's background be able to call "Mom and Dad" with peace of mind, but she is an illegitimate daughter whose mother is called a junior, and her father is unwilling to admit it. She also wants to stand together happily as a family, and she wants to be cared for by her parents, but apart from the contempt and ridicule of others, what can she get?
In this life, she was reincarnated in a place like Qiao's family, as a woman, is it her fault?
It's all arranged by God, so why should she be left alone to bear these injustices?
If he refused to have an illegitimate daughter, then why did he raise her mother in the first place!
Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's all wrong!
In that case, why can't she fight for it! She doesn't want to be a human being again! was given a turn to be strong, and she didn't dare to speak, this is not her destination!
CRISTINA STOOD UP COLDLY, A BEAUTIFUL AND DELICATE FACE, FULL OF RESENTMENT AND RUTHLESSNESS!
This time, no matter what
This time, no matter what, she will never be at the mercy of Qiao Lao!
And Yunxi, this night, I didn't sleep very steadily. She herself understands that even if there is really such a box at home, there must be a reason why she is unwilling to sue her in the slightest. Whether it is the old man or her father, he has always favored her, but he is extremely strict in major matters, but Zhang Cui is different, her love for her is simply to the bones, like a pearl and jade, if it is true, she should not even have a little mouth. BUT CRISTINA'S SWORN WORDS ARE BY NO MEANS LIKE A LIE, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT TELLING A LIE IS NOT AT ALL BENEFICIAL TO HER NOW.
For a while, it was like there were two people in her head who were in a tug-of-war, so that when she got up the next day, her face was obviously not very good.
After Sister-in-law Li brought her breakfast, she looked a little bad, "Was you too tired yesterday?" Would you like to take another break? She thought that she had played golf for a day yesterday, and she had accompanied Situ Bai and Jin Jin until late in the evening, and she didn't rest enough, so she didn't look good.
Looking at Sister-in-law Li's concerned eyes, Yunxi's eyes flashed slightly.
Sister-in-law Li is also a member of the family in the Leng family, if there is really that box, it stands to reason that it is most convenient to ask her.
However, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed: "It's okay, I drank some tea when I came back last night, and I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning." β
Sister-in-law Li was really speechless: "It's such a big girl, why do you drink tea before going to bed, you should pay attention in the future." The little girl's body is the most delicate, you don't know it now, and ...... you get married later. β
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li was going to nag endlessly, Yunxi rubbed her temples, hurried to eat breakfast, and then waved her hand: "I have something to go out, so I don't need to prepare my lunch at noon." β
Zhang Cui hadn't gotten up yet, and Sister-in-law Li's voice was not too loud, so she had to watch her leave helplessly.
After picking up the car in the garage, Yunxi drove in the direction of Qiao Zimo's residence without hesitation. What's more, he is not an outsider, and it is much more convenient for her to find someone else than she to find out.
When he arrived at his destination, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, Qiao Zimo had breakfast, and was about to go out, when he saw a sports car handsomely flicking its tail in front of his house and parked there neatly.
The car door slowly opened, and a beautiful figure slowly appeared in front of him, I thought that such a beautiful scenery was really rare, but when he met her eyes, the curvature of the corners of his mouth paused slightly.
"What's wrong?" He greeted her, sensitively noticing that something was wrong with her mood. When I said goodbye to Gild and Situ Bai last night, I was fine, why is my expression so ...... now.
"Let's go in first, there's something I want you to help me." Yunxi smiled tiredly, because of insomnia, she really couldn't lift her energy today, so simply, the man in front of her was her most solid support.
Qiao Zimo's expression changed slightly, he had never heard her open her mouth to ask for help.
From the time when the Leng family fell into the most embarrassing situation, even when the whole B city was in a rumor, she only stayed in Europe for three months, and then came back to take revenge easily, even if she didn't open this mouth at the beginning, but now, what tricky things have happened that make her hesitate like this?
walked to the kitchen and personally poured a glass of water for her, Qiao Zimo didn't urge, just sat beside her and handed the glass over.
Yunxi's fingertips touched it so warm, and suddenly, he felt that the whole person relaxed.
She was sure that the matter of the box and the key was just Qiao Lao's trickery, so she didn't take it to heart. But now, she basically, she suspects, most of it, that's true.
If it is true, the Leng family will not mention it to her, and it will not be a coincidence. What's behind this?
Seeing the doubts that couldn't be hidden between her eyebrows, Qiao Zimo suddenly hugged her into his arms: "What's wrong?" β
He felt that the temperature on her body was a little low, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter again.
Yunxi slowly lowered his eyes, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on his lips.
Maybe it's because she is not Leng Yunxi's real body, enjoying the top-down favor of the Leng family, but there is always a feeling of instability, after all, she feels from the bottom of her heart that she is reborn, not the real arrogant girl of the Leng family, outside, in the shopping mall, she can really fight with others with her strength, but at home, she doesn't have so much confidence, like an ignorant and fearless naΓ―ve girl, to ask in person.
"I want you to check something for me." After calming down for a long time, she finally found her former composure in his arms. Slowly raising her head from his shoulder, her gaze was as calm as ever.
Qiao Zimo rubbed her hair, but smiled slightly, as if all her feelings just now were illusions: "You say." β
Since he wants to make a move, I'm afraid it's not a business thing.
"I wonder if my grandmother really left a black box and a key for the family on her deathbed." Finally, Yunxi said the sentence in his heart.
A look of surprise crossed Qiao Zimo's eyes, he never thought that the thing that would make her come to the door so solemnly was not aimed at Qiao Lao or others, but what happened to his family many years ago.
But he is not an ordinary person, according to all the expressions that Yunxi just had, he already knew that Yunxi wanted to know about this, but he didn't want to alarm the rest of the family.
For her grandmother, the legendary Shanghai beauty, there have indeed been a lot of rumors, but about this box and key, if I remember correctly, at the beginning, he had heard Qiao Lao mention it. And Yunxi, but when it was an excuse, he thought that Qiao Lao had lured the Zhan family to take the bait through such an inexplicable box, why did he change his mind now?
Doubts flashed in his heart, he lowered his head and kissed her side cheek gently: "Tomorrow at the latest, I will sue you for the result." β
The Leng family is a figure with a head and a face in City B, as long as it really happened, he can definitely find out clearly.
When Yunxi heard this, he suddenly felt that his whole body was loose, and his whole body was soft in his arms.
"I'll sleep for a while, if you're busy, don't worry about me." Today is not the weekend, he has been with her all day yesterday, and it stands to reason that it is time to go to work.
Qiao Zimo suddenly stood up and hugged her with both hands, but it was as easy as walking on the ground, "Don't worry, you sleep on yours, when you wake up, I'll help you cook some porridge." β
As a real boyfriend, can't he do this thing?
Seeing that he refused to leave, Yunxi didn't say anything more, and occupied the big bed in the master bedroom with peace of mind, and finally, he slept sweetly and comfortably.
The sun shone on her body through the curtains, as if she was covered with a layer of quiet light.
Qiao Zimo stood next to him, watched quietly for a long time, and finally, closed the door gently, turned around, walked to his study, turned on the computer, connected to the network of several people, and explained what Yunxi said just now.
All that's left is to wait patiently for .......
He sat down in his chair and slowly pulled open the drawer, where a boxy box was .......
