Shengshi Garden Hotel.

Lu Qihong and Qu Yaying were already waiting in the room, but Xiao Yin and Qiao Le did not show up for a long time, the second elder was very dissatisfied with this young man who was late for the first meeting, especially Qu Yaying, she repeatedly pulled the mink coat on her body, glanced at her husband smoking without scruples, and was even more dissatisfied, but did not intervene much, but turned her head to Gao Qu and said, "Did you call Xiao Yin?" ”

"I did, and I said I was stuck in traffic."

"Huh, traffic jam? Qiao Le is playing us like monkeys, right? ”

Gao Qu didn't answer, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried about Qu Yaying's judgment, he should always be a little more happy, after all, his aunt was the same as him - dissatisfied with Qiao Le.

Qu Yaying kept pacing in the room, Lu Qihong was a little impatient, and shouted: "Don't keep walking around, dazzling!" ”

"Do you think I'm an eyesore?" Qu Yaying replied, and immediately glanced at Gao Qu standing next to him after speaking.

Gao Qu knew that his aunt and parents were not in harmony, so he deliberately looked out of the door, and changed the topic and said, "I'm going to see if they're coming?" ”

As soon as Gao Qu walked out of the door, there was a quarrel in the room, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Yin and Qiao Le walking out of the elevator hand in hand.

Gao Qu greeted him, Qiao Le wanted to ignore him, but he still grabbed his arm.

I only heard Gao Qu whispering in Qiao Le's ear: "Speak well, don't poke out any moths." ”

Qiao Le broke away his arm disdainfully and replied, "I have never been a person who does not offend me, I do not offend anyone." After sneering a few times, he knocked Gao Qu away with his shoulder, and pulled Xiao Yin straight to the room.

"Xiao Yin—" Gao Qu shouted from behind.

Xiao Yin didn't mean to look back, and walked directly to the door of the room with Qiao Le, there was a quarrel in the room - Xiao Yin realized the reason why Gao Qu suddenly stopped her, but she didn't flinch, looked at Qiao Le, and suddenly shouted outside the door: "Mom and Dad!" ”

The noise in the room instantly subsided. Xiao Yin squeezed out a smile and led Qiao Le into the room.

Qu Yaying pulled her coat up and down, and kept looking at Qiao Le with eyes like selecting goods, and said, "I heard that Mr. Qiao works in the consulting industry, why is it so, years of professionalism make you treat the agreed time like this?" ”

Qiao Le didn't avoid her gaze, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, so I was late." ”

-- This is the state of his work, no matter how difficult he is, he must keep smiling.

Qu Yaying sneered a few times and said, "That's good, after all, everyone has a time when they can't find a shortcut and are blocked on the avenue, but ...... Mr. Qiao, you shouldn't be such a person, just because you are with my family, I think you should be a person who knows how to find shortcuts. ”

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yin immediately interjected.

"Mom is asking Qiao Le, don't interject!" Qu Yaying scolded directly.

Gao Qu also walked in, he stood behind Qu Yaying, watching Qiao Le's face gradually turn iron-blue.

"I have been with Xiaoyin for so many years, if I look for a shortcut, I won't come to see the two of you now." Qiao Le responded.

"So, you already have self-knowledge, and you know that you don't have the confidence to meet us?"

"Of course, I have the confidence to meet you, but I really don't have the confidence to correct your prejudice against me."

Lu Qihong held his pipe in his mouth, smoked one cigarette after another, did not speak, only glanced at Qiao Le a few times with his spare eyes, and spit out the cigarette round and round.

The room was filled with gunsmoke.

"Of course you don't have confidence, after all, all my judgments about you are not out of nowhere, you better prove to me that you are not the kind of person I imagined."

"Mom, don't say it, let's eat, didn't you say that the chef in this hotel is Dad's favorite, right, Dad?"

Seeing his daughter's eyes asking for help, Lu Qihong naturally knew how much his baby daughter cared about the man in front of him, and he also knew his wife's temper, he took off the pipe on his mouth, knocked it on the table a few times, and then Xiaoyin's words, said: "That's right, this chef knows many cuisines, especially proficient in Sichuan cuisine, I heard that Qiao Le, you are from Chengdu?" ”

"Yes, I'm from Chengdu." Qiao Le responded with a smile, and said to Qu Yaying: "Sichuan people are very backbone, Mrs. Lu should know, right?" ”

"What's the use of having backbone, Mr. Qiao doesn't think that he can marry the pearl of the director of Anke with just this backbone, right?"

Xiao Yin saw that her mother kept targeting Qiao Le from the moment she entered the door, and the pent-up feelings could not be suppressed for a long time, and shouted at everyone: "It seems that everyone doesn't want to eat, if you don't want to eat, Qiao Le and I will leave first!" ”

Gao Qu took the first step to stop in front of Xiao Yin, and he smiled and said, "Of course you have to eat, if you want to go like this, other people still think that Qiao Le doesn't even have the heart to accompany his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to dinner?" ”

"The dishes are all ready, there is no reason not to eat them, Yin'er should sit down and try your boyfriend's hometown food." The person who spoke was Lu Qihong, his tone was calm, and he didn't seem to feel how tense the atmosphere in the room was, and the smell of fireworks in the room was completely covered up with one sentence.

Xiao Yin had no choice but to give up and pull Qiao Le to sit at the dinner table.

The meal was as embarrassing and boring as she imagined, Xiao Yin secretly resented her mother and cousin, and she had no appetite, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom halfway through eating.

It just so happened that Lu Qihong also received an emergency call from a company, and for a while, only Gao Qu, Qu Yaying and Qiao Le were left at the dinner table.

Gao Qu deliberately stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables far away from his seating area, and tossed for a while, Qu Yaying noticed that she had always cultivated Gao Qu as the future heir of Anke, but she didn't expect him to have such an impolite problem, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Gao Qu, eat well!" ”

Gao Qu took back the chopsticks in time, smiled at his aunt and said, "Auntie, I want to eat that plate of fried pork." ”

Qu Yaying was naturally dissatisfied and said, "Isn't there one in front of you?" Why do you have to clip it over there? ”

Gao Qu smiled and said: "You don't know, now there are some people who feel that the people around them are not worth cherishing, and they have to ask for those who can't ask for it......"

Qu Yaying was inexplicable for a while, but she quickly realized that Gao Qu had something to say, and her eyes immediately swept to Qiao Le, who had been drinking tea, and said, "Is there really such a shameless guy?" ”

"Of course, and you still know your aunt." Gao Qu looked at Qiao Le and laughed.

Suddenly, Qiao Le stood up suddenly, the range of movements was not small, the cup on the table suddenly turned to the ground, with a crisp sound, the tea was poured to the ground, he pointed at Gao Qu, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Gao Qu, your goal has been achieved, you can stop." However, I don't think you should be happy too soon, I left my current position, and naturally I was able to walk in front of the food I wanted to eat. ”

He propped his hands on the table, leaned down and smiled at Gao Qu, and continued: "Then according to you, will I eat that dish?" ”

Gao Qu just wanted to say something, Qiao Le had already withdrawn and left, and the last words he said to Gao Qu really slammed into his heart, and it hurt very much, and a voice in his heart moaned repeatedly: "No, no, no......"

Qu Yaying was so angry that she had already pulled her mink coat directly to the ground, and her voice trembled and pointed at Qiao Le's back and roared: "I will never hand over Xiao Yin to you, you have died of this heart, it is really not a good thing, you still want toads to eat swan meat, dream!" With that, he threw the cup in front of him towards the door, and missed, but the fragment landed on his calf, splashing a puddle of water, and without looking back, he threw the light-colored coat behind his shoulders and walked out of the room.

When Xiao Yin came in, she only saw that the ground was in a mess, Qiao Le's seat was already empty, her mother was trembling with anger, her shoulders shrugged, and Gao Qu sat coldly on the side, motionless.

Of course she guessed what was going on, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and when she was about to pick up her bag and chase Qiao Le, Qu Yaying immediately called out to her: "If you dare to follow, do you believe it or not, you will never be able to enter the house again?" ”

"If I can't get in, I won't get in!" Xiao Yin turned around and yelled at her mother.

Qu Yaying stood up immediately, she stood on the edge of the windowsill, her mink shawl lying on the ground, letting the cold wind blow her two smooth white arms, and said, "Don't you even want your family?" Do you know that Qiao Le still has other women in his heart? ”

Xiao Yin was shocked, her eyes narrowed to Gao Qu who was sitting in the corner, and said word by word: "That's a thing of the past, I don't care at all!" ”

"You don't care now, soon you'll be the outcast! Fortunately, Gao Qu tiyì let us meet first, and break up while nothing has happened to you! ”

When Xiao Yin heard this, she immediately threw the bag in her hand towards the corner of the room, instantly smashing a glass lantern in the room.

"Everything happened, we fell in love, kissed, slept with each other, I thought it was him from the beginning, it was too late for anything, I loved him, I loved him so much, I loved him more than anyone else in this world, you don't know what love is, you don't know!" She cried and spoke, her voice almost screaming.

She couldn't help crying, but she still saw Gao Qu in tears, she pointed to the direction of the seat, and said hatefully: "Gao Qu, my cousin who has always trusted me the most, why are you targeting Qiao Le so much, you just don't want Qiao Le to compete with you, you just care about your position as the heir!" ”

"Smack!" A loud slap echoed in the room, Xiao Yin's face turned from white to red, how could that little face withstand Qu Yaying's hand waved so hard, she was almost dizzy because of this, but fortunately, her body was held up by Lu Qihong who came in time.

"What are you doing?" Lu Qihong scolded Qu Yaying.

"I ......" Qu Yaying couldn't make any words, just looked at her slightly red palm, she couldn't believe that she had just beaten her only daughter.

Gao Qu couldn't believe it, just now this crisp sound made him wake up from his daze, and then realized that this meeting was already under his control, completely contrary to his original idea.

Xiao Yin broke free from Lu Qihong's embrace, covered her face and left the room crying, and Gao Qu immediately chased after her.

He wanted to comfort Xiao Yin, but she immediately pushed him away, and he saw his cousin's red and swollen eyes again, which were even stricter than the last time.

"Gao Qu, I don't want your concern, your goal has been achieved, Qiao Le will never appear in front of you again, and me, I don't want to see you cousin!"

After she finished speaking, she ran into the elevator, and Gao Qu stood in place and watched the elevator door slowly close, where there was his cousin who had guarded him for more than 20 years......

"Cousin, next time you play hide and seek, you must find me, I will hide behind the dog house in the garden, you remember, oh, don't be like last time, if you can't find me, go back!" Xiao Yin muttered.

"Okay, I'll go to the back of the kennel to find you, but before I do, I'm going to take the dog away lest it accidentally bite my family."

"Hehehehe, I'm not afraid of dogs! With my cousin here, I'm not afraid of anything! ”

"But, but...... I'm afraid......" Xiao Gaoqu scratched the back of his head and said with a red face and a smile.

"Hahahaha, it turns out that my cousin is afraid of dogs, and my cousin is afraid of dogs...... Woohoo! ”

……

There was a loud quarrel between my aunt and parents in the room, and Gao Qu was forcibly pulled back from his memory to reality.

"Do you know who Qiao Le is, he provoked other women behind Xiaoyin's back, how could I swallow this breath!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, what's the benefit of being suspicious for you and your daughter?!"

"It was Gao Qu who said it himself, will there be a fake?"

"Gao Qu, Gao Qu! You are counting on other people's sons to give you a good old age! ”

"What do you mean? I'm worried that Xiaoyin is at fault? Or do you simply think that stepping on two boats is not a big deal, because you do it yourself? ”

"Too lazy to talk to you!"

"You stop! You're leaving home again and not coming back, aren't you? ”

Lu Qihong quickly came out of the room, as soon as he went out, he saw Gao Qu, he put the pipe in his hand to the corner of his mouth, tidied up the clothes on his body, slowly walked to Gao Qu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, accompany your aunt well." ”

Gao Qu nodded and said, "I see." ”

Lu Qihong didn't say anything more, the mobile phone next to him rang again, and he followed the phone and entered the elevator.

Gao Qu watched the door slowly close again, and there was an uncle who had been wary of him.

When he walked into the messy room, Gao Qu saw his aunt lying on the table crying, and he approached, picked up the mink coat on the floor, dusted it, and covered it over the fragile woman.

Qu Yaying quickly raised her head and shouted, "Bag, my bag." ”

Gao Qu hurriedly handed her Chanel over, thinking that she was going to touch up her makeup, because her makeup had already been spent.

But she didn't, and what she took out of it was a pack of mint cigarettes and a lighter.

For the first time, he knew that Qu Yaying was smoking—she was actually going to smoke with tears in her eyes and enduring her ruined makeup.

Qu Yaying's hands kept trembling, Gao Qu had to squat down to help her light the cigarette, and soon the white smoke rose into the air, circle after circle, nothing was circled but circle after circle......

Nothing was trapped, and it was a matter of emptiness - but his purpose had obviously been achieved, his aunt finally hated Qiao Le and supported her idea of separating Xiao Yin and Qiao Le, if he really had a so-called purpose, wouldn't he be the biggest and only winner of this meeting?

No, there was a deeper sense of frustration that struck him in a triple blow to his chest, and he was dizzy and confused, as if a coin was spinning on the table, and he couldn't stop for a long time.

His eyes were fixed on the coin, desperate to know what the other side of the "gain" was, and he was afraid that the fruits of victory contained facts that frightened him.

――Will Qiao Le eat that dish?

Will it?

No, it won't.

Will it?

No, it won't.

……

After this rather unquiet meal, he only cared about this one thing.
