CHAPTER XXXIII
In fact, Qiao Jinghui wanted to ask him if he had a girlfriend now, but after thinking that this was not something he should ask, he gave up and went to work on time the next day with panda eyes.
Cai Hefeng didn't appear again, and last night's meeting seemed to be completely her own imagination, but her stomach was very real full, and she didn't eat a little in the morning** - but she still brought a loaf of bread just in case.
There was a scandal in the company that Brother Qiao had a boyfriend, and he didn't have to think about it, the source must be the little brother, but after Qiao Jinghui explained it once or twice, she was no longer able to face everyone's questioning and ambiguous eyes. I thought, after a long time, everyone will naturally see whether she is a loving dog or a single dog, after all, she is such a female **, her daily life is obvious to everyone, how can there be a woman who is not single like her.
After this period of work, Qiao Jinghui followed the first batch of people who went home from vacation and embarked on the way home, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother saw that their daughter who had not seen them for half a year was very precious, and everything she wanted to eat, see, and go was done for her, Qiao Jinghui was so comfortable that she just wanted to stay at home for the rest of her life. If there is anyone in this world who will do anything for you without asking for anything in return and without regrets, it is only family.
The quilt is the grave of youth, and the family is very likely to become the ideal grave, Qiao Jinghui is glad that she has no ideals, so she can rely on the family with confidence.
After the five-day holiday, Qiao Jinghui packed her bags and came to City C, and had a dull year, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was Cai Hefeng who came to Qiao Jinghui without saying hello, but Qiao Jinghui decided not to care about this matter after thinking about it, because they really had nothing to match.
And Qiao Jinghui never thought of showing her liking, she felt that she might reach a certain age, find a suitable person on a blind date and get married, and then quit her husband and godson to do something else she likes, after all, in their line of work, age will indeed have a certain impact on brain power and memory, Qiao Jinghui thinks that she is an ordinary person, she can't be disabled like Hawking and can still be strong, he is just an ordinary woman.
At times like these, she is willing to admit her weakness.
But within a few months, Qiao Jinghui took three days off to go home, and during the Chinese New Year, she learned the news that Cheng Yang was about to get married from Cheng Yang, although Qiao Jinghui was difficult to let go of Li Hao's previous affairs, but after talking to him, Qiao Jinghui felt that this man was still reliable, and not to mention how it was in the past, this man was really reliable.
Cheng Yang was very happy that Qiao Jinghui was able to recognize the relationship between them, and even agreed to their marriage so easily.
In this regard, Qiao Jinghui smiled: "You don't have to look at me with such grateful eyes, this is your marriage, not something I can interfere in." I just think that people have their own ideas, and each has its own way to go, you need to face a lot of things on your own, and you also need to have your own decisions, and what I do is not just to tell you what you should do, but also to let you try your own decisions, because I am not always right! ”
Cheng Yang was also serious: "Why am I so uncomfortable when I hear you say this?" It feels like I'm going to leave you, and I don't want that. ”
"Don't feel uncomfortable, you have to face what I say objectively, we will all have our own families in the future, I mean that."
"Because the object is you, you can't be objective, even if you have your own family, I don't want to leave you."
"I haven't left, I'm still here, but I want you to understand that when you get married, you have to put your family first, and you can't be as willful as before, you know?"
Cheng Yang lowered his head: "Got it." ”
Qiao Jinghui patted Cheng Yang's head and was silent.
However, getting married is always a happy event, of course Qiao Jinghui has to participate happily, many years ago Cheng Yang said that when she gets married in the future, she must let Qiao Jinghui be a bridesmaid, Qiao Jinghui happily agreed to it at that time, and now it is finally time to fulfill her promise.
Everything went well, Qiao Jinghui wore the same white bridesmaid dress as Cheng Yang, and helped Cheng Yang out of the dressing room, Li Hao came out of another dressing room, the groom's dress fit very well, his hair was neatly combed, and the whole person was very energetic, and Cheng Yang was dressed as pure and beautiful as he imagined. Qiao Jinghui has said since she was a child that she admires her white skin, she must look good in a wedding dress, and now it looks really beautiful.
Before leaving the dressing room door, Cheng Yang asked Qiao Jinghui nervously: "How do I look today?" Is it pretty? ”
The friend who has been playing since childhood is about to get married, and Qiao Jinghui hugged her shoulder with emotion: "Beautiful! Cheng Yang smiled slightly.
After coming out, Qiao Jinghui stared at Li Hao for a few seconds, then looked at Cheng Yang again, and said to Li Hao: "Cheng Yang, I'll leave it to you, you have to pick it up for me, otherwise I won't care." ”
Li Hao also took Cheng Yang's hand seriously and nodded, the best man next to him was Da Zheng, looking stunned.
The bride and groom, the best man and bridesmaid all stood on the stage, Qiao Jinghui always carried out every process with a smile, not to mention the past, today is a good day for girlfriends, the parties have not cried, how can she be sad? So be sure to laugh.
Then Qiao Jinghui and the best man followed the bride and groom to toast and smoke from table to table, and the four of them were able to rest after almost exhaustion, Qiao Jinghui sat far away and thought about things while drinking water, and Cheng Yang walked over to sit with her.
On the other side, Da Zheng pushed Li Hao with his shoulder: "Hey, what is the name of the girl who is the bridesmaid?" ”
Although Qiao Jinghui is very prestigious among Cheng Yang's colleagues and is well-known, except for the incident at KTV that night, Qiao Jinghui has never met them, and Da Zheng happened to be absent that day, so he didn't know Qiao Jinghui's "feat".
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qiao Jinghui, who looked particularly ladylike today, after being carefully dressed up by the makeup artist, there were indeed many women, at least she looked beautiful, generous and mature, glanced at the brothers beside her, and said meaningfully: "I can warn you, this woman is not something that ordinary people can hold, just you, it's better not to touch the stone with an egg." ”
Da Zheng squinted at him: "Look down on me? ”
Li Hao shook his head and said very sincerely: "No, I'm serious, do you know Qiao Jinghui?" ”
Da Zheng's eyes widened: "She is?!" "No wonder I was so domineering when I first came out!
Li Hao nodded, Da Zheng thought about it, and said, "No, I still have to try, I've been single for so long, can't I let people chase a girl?" ”
It seemed that it didn't make sense, Li Hao looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "She's not a girl, she's a female dinosaur." ”
Da Zheng retorted unconvincedly: "Dinosaurs have long been extinct. ”
Li Hao shrugged, if you don't believe it, forget it, if you don't believe it, you can try.
So Da Zheng was not afraid to die.
The wedding banquet was already evening, and the person who sent Cheng Yang home should no longer be Qiao Jinghui, Li Hao had already driven her away, Cheng Yang turned back all the way and said why not bring Qiao Jinghui, Li Hao said that she wanted to be quiet, let her be quiet alone, Cheng Yang didn't speak.
"No matter how bad it is, Da Zheng is still following behind, it will be fine." Li Hao comforted Cheng Yang, but Cheng Yang was stunned: "When did Da Zheng follow Jinghui?" ”
Li Hao said without thinking about it: "I don't know, anyway, don't worry." ”
Then the car drove halfway, Cheng Yang suddenly remembered, and asked again: "Da Zheng, could he be secretly following behind?" ”
Li Haosi thought about Hou Da Zheng's style of acting and replied, "Very likely." ”
Cheng Yang was shocked: "Hurry up, hurry up, drive the car back!" ”
"What's wrong? Didn't I say that Qiao Jinghui would be fine? ”
"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about Da Zheng! He followed behind secretly, Jinghui would definitely think that he had bad intentions, and she was in a bad mood today, and maybe she would kill the killer! ”
Based on his unilateral understanding of Qiao Jinghui, maybe it was true, but Li Hao also panicked at this time, and quickly turned around and drove the car back.
Time rewinds, Qiao Jinghui changed back into her clothes at the hotel, holding a satchel in one hand and a pocket in the other, now she just wants to find a bar to have a drink, and then go home to sleep with her head covered, but she didn't go far from the hotel and keenly noticed that someone was following her behind her.
This feeling is the same as when the gangsters hid in the crowd and watched her during the time in Tibet, Qiao Jinghui could feel every pore on her body contract, every nerve was tense, ready to fight at any time.
She wasn't nervous, she was excited, at this moment she was a wind-up humanoid fighting machine, and no one would have good fruit to eat.
Da Zheng followed far behind, thinking that he would send her home far away today, seeing that she was even walking in such a female posture, he felt that if he went up like this, he would be a little abrupt, and he had heard the little nurse say that Qiao Jinghui had thrown Xiao Qi a meter away with his bare hands, this is not the little nurse is too exaggerated He did not verify it, but he believed that she was a veritable female man.
So I just followed, but after walking around a street corner and turning a corner, there was no one in front of me! Da Zheng was shocked, wondering if the gangsters on the road had come out to commit a crime, whether Qiao Jinghui had been arrested, why didn't this woman say a word! Cry for help!
Da Zheng stepped up and walked along Qiao Jinghui's route, never expecting that he had just walked around the corner, and before he could turn the corner, a figure appeared from the side, and directly strangled his neck with something like a rope.
In order to save himself, Da Zheng immediately grabbed the rope around his neck with both hands and tried to pull it out, but the man had another hand empty, kicked him in the leg socket to make him sink down, and then used the elbow of the free hand to greet him directly on the head.
Da Zheng instantly felt that the whole person was not good, like a concussion, he couldn't even think for more than ten seconds in a row, he could only be stunned, the figure did not stop, let go of the rope around his neck, but cut his arms back.
Da Zheng finally regained his ability to think, and when he looked at himself, he looked like a gangster caught by the police, his hands were firmly clamped behind him, and one leg was kneeling.
He tried to look back to see who attacked him, and he also wanted to say that the person who attacked Qiao Jinghui earlier might be this person.
Then I heard a voice from behind me: "Who are you?" ”
Da Zheng was stunned at first, and then he couldn't cry, it turned out that it was Qiao Jinghui who restrained him!
At this time, there were car lights coming from behind, and Da Zheng turned his back to the dazzling lights, thinking that there were still accomplices?! What is she doing here? Could it be that she is engaged in human trafficking?!
There was the sound of the car door opening, and then he heard someone say, "Jinghui, you let him go!" ”
Qiao Jinghui looked back at Cheng Yang, but he still didn't relax the strength in his hand, and said, "He followed me sneakily behind." ”
"He is Da Zheng, my colleague, today's best man, and Li Hao's friend!" Cheng Yang was a little anxious, he didn't know how Da Zheng was beaten, "You let him go!" ”
Qiao Jinghui let go when she heard this, and pulled Da Zheng up from the ground with one hand: "I'm sorry, but I didn't do it ruthlessly, are you okay?" ”
Da Zheng is almost crying, this is still called being ruthless, he is about to have a concussion and dislocation! But after standing up, he still couldn't bear to lose his temper with her, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm scaring you." ”
Unexpectedly, Qiao Jinghui really nodded and said, "Why do you have nothing to do behind me, and you look sneaky." ”
Da Zheng really wanted to cry without tears.
Li Hao came over to help Da Zheng get into the car, it seemed that he couldn't go back by himself today, Cheng Yang said speechlessly: "Jinghui, I'd better send you back early." ”
Qiao Jinghui glanced at Da Zheng in the car, did he dare to share a car with him? So he said, "I'll go to the supermarket to buy something and then go back, you guys go back first." ”
Li Hao looked at Da Zheng from the rearview mirror: "I said it, I don't believe it yet." ”
Da Zheng rubbed his sore head, glared at Li Hao with grievances, Li Hao said: "I'm serious, don't go up without knowing anything, that's not your dish!" ”
Da Zheng didn't say anything, Cheng Yang said first: "Don't beat Jinghui's idea, she has a lot of ideas, there was a senior who chased her for a few years before, but she hasn't caught up with her until now, and the senior is still very good in all aspects, and now she is still working in a state organ, but she can't accompany her from time to time." ”
Da Zheng said: "Since he is excellent in everything, there must be something weak, so Qiao Jinghui doesn't like it!" ”
Cheng Yang thought for a while and said, "Maybe the only flaw is that Jinghui doesn't like him." ”
Da Zheng and Li Hao were stunned, what kind of shortcomings is this? Cheng Yang said: "I don't see the shortcomings anyway, so it's a pity!" Jinghui is very thoughtful, and over the years, there are not no people who like her and pursue her, but she doesn't like them. I guess she's waiting for someone she likes to show up. ”
Qiao Jinghui didn't go to the bar, because her emotions had already been vented, she went home and slept for a while, and went to the train station early the next morning to take the train back to City C.
Cheng Yang took advantage of Li Hao and Da Zheng not paying attention, so he pulled Qiao Jinghui and asked in a low voice: "You don't see that Da Zheng likes you?" ”
"I see." Without Cheng Yang to ask again, Qiao Jinghui took the initiative to answer the question in her heart, "I don't like him." ”
Cheng Yang shrugged: "I knew you would say that, I told him last night, it's okay." ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded, just make it clear, she doesn't want to find so much trouble now, and she is not in a hurry to get married.
After a few months, Jennifer, the deputy general manager, came back suddenly, and brought a few people, one of whom was Cai Hefeng, because he was too tall, Qiao Jinghui saw him all the way through the door, and what made Qiao Jinghui speechless was that Cai Hefeng smiled at her when he saw her.
The little brother also noticed the eye contact between the two people, and immediately shouted: "Brother Qiao, wasn't that the mysterious man who accompanied you for the New Year just now?" Why don't you go up and say hello? Since Qiao Jinghui vigorously denied Cai Hefeng's "boyfriend" identity, the little brother began to call him a "mysterious man".
The rest of the office was also excited, and the famous Brother Qiao's mysterious boyfriend actually showed up in the company? You have to see what it is.
Qiao Jinghui has a black line, Cai Hefeng will definitely come back in a while, and she must need to set off a bloody storm to suppress everyone's gossip!
After a while, Cai Hefeng really walked in with a smile behind Luo Xian, Luo Xian first introduced to them, in fact, mainly to introduce them to these newcomers: "This is the deputy director of our department, Cai Hefeng, I went to the United States with the deputy general manager before, so I didn't catch up with the selection of a few of your newcomers, now come back for a while, everyone is welcome!" ”
Qiao Jinghui applauded and welcomed everyone with her.
"It's okay for everyone to call me Brother Cai or Brother Feng, that's what they call me too."
When Cai Hefeng is in front of many people, he will not show his difference to Qiao Jinghui, especially at work, he shakes hands with all the newcomers one by one, including Qiao Jinghui, when he shakes the little brother, the little brother raised his eyebrows at Qiao Jinghui, it turns out that your boyfriend is still the deputy director! No wonder you're here to work. Qiao Jinghui glanced at him and decided to ignore it.
For the sake of insurance, the little brother asked Cai Hefeng with a smile: "Brother Feng, do you have a girlfriend?" ”
Cai Hefeng raised his eyebrows, he was the only one who saw him with Qiao Jinghui that night, and replied with the same face: "No." ”
The little brother was stunned, Qiao Jinghui shrugged, meaning to say: I said it, I don't believe it. Someone coaxed and said, "Little brother, have you taken a fancy to our brother Feng?" ”
The little brother glared at him: "I'm a straight man!" Straight man! ”
Qiao Jinghui turned back and said faintly: "Isn't it possible to bend the straight one." ”
Everyone laughed, the little brother glared at him, but Luo Xian and Cai Hefeng had long eyes.
After coming down, Qiao Jinghui was still doing her own thing, and the little brother came over and said, "He's really not your boyfriend?" ”
Qiao Jinghui glanced at him: "Nonsense, how many times have I said it, he is just my senior, and he recommended me to join the company, he is a very good person, and he is often enthusiastic about helping younger brothers and sisters." She believed it herself, wasn't the basketball game of the sports festival the same year? It's just out of the senior's care for the younger sister.。
The little brother sighed, alas, another big gossip was lost: "Brother Qiao, when will you be able to marry yourself?" ”
Qiao Jinghui glanced at him: "Xiaohu seems to have just walked over, do you want to go over and take a look." The little brother's eyes lit up and he took the bait, and five minutes later he ran back and said, "You lied to me!" I've run all over this floor and I haven't seen her. ”
"Maybe she's in the toilet? You haven't been in the women's bathroom, have you? ”
The little brother really ran out again, and ran back ten minutes later: "You lied to me!" I waited for ten minutes and there was no one, so I asked the aunt who was cleaning and she said that there was no one inside! ”
What about lying to you? Qiao Jinghui threw a killer smile at the little brother, and the little brother immediately obediently returned to his seat and muttered in a low voice: "It's just gossip about you, Bayoneba is healthier."
When she got off work, Qiao Jinghui rarely didn't work overtime, and she was going to go back to eat for herself, and then sit in bed to watch movies, listen to music, and make a video with Cheng Yang and Qiao's mother and Qiao's father, ah, life is really comfortable!
But she was stopped before she could walk out of the company's door.
"Want to go back? Need me to send you? ”
If he hadn't suddenly appeared now, Qiao Jinghui would have almost forgotten about his return today, Qiao Jinghui looked up at Cai Hefeng in confusion, what did this person want to do? So he replied, "No, I'll take the bus or subway, and I'll be there in a while." ”
Cai Hefeng was about to say more, when a woman came over behind him, and patted Cai Hefeng on the shoulder as soon as he came over: "How is it, are you going to dinner?" ”
Cai Hefeng looked back, it was Tan Yangcheng, Qiao Jinghui stood opposite and didn't speak, in fact, she was thinking, it turned out that this was the woman on the phone before, she remembered her voice. Cai Hefeng straightened his coat, trying to sort out all the places she had touched, but it couldn't be too obvious, so he refused: "No, I want to eat with my little junior sister." ”
Qiao Jinghui quickly said without giving any face: "No, you go and eat, I'll go first, bye." ”
After finishing speaking, Cai Hefeng and Tan Yangcheng hadn't reacted yet, she had already walked a few steps away.
Qiao Jinghui, who was facing away from them, let out a long breath, fortunately she was away from the battlefield in time, can you not pull her into it if she is awkward in love, she likes Cai Hefeng Yes, but she doesn't want to be cannon fodder.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Qiao Jinghui, Cai Hefeng turned around and said to Tan Yangcheng: "I'm also leaving, you can go eat by yourself." After saying that, he also pulled his legs and left, went to the garage, Cai Hefeng looked at the brand-new car, and specifically wanted to take her for a ride, this little girl still doesn't appreciate it, okay, take your time, there will always be a chance.
Qiao Jinghui, I'm not in a hurry, as long as you don't get married for a day, I won't give up on you easily.
When I returned to the community, I was stopped again, this time by the community guard: "There is a man who said that your friend is looking for you, but he doesn't live here, so we detained him and waited for you inside for more than an hour, you go and see if you recognize him." ”
Qiao Jinghui walked in suspiciously, she didn't know many male friends, who could it be?
But the guard room is not big, and she can see clearly at a glance the person who is sitting inside to watch TV with the doorman, and she can't help but exclaim: "Senior Hongchen? ”
The man watching TV jerked his head up and grinned at her.
In the small restaurant near the community, Qiao Jinghui and Hong Chen sat opposite each other, to be honest, if his hair and face hadn't changed, Qiao Jinghui really wouldn't have recognized him. As if he had been thrown into the primeval forest for a few years, his skin had become dark, his face had grown a full beard, and his body was much stronger than before. Qiao Jinghui thought, if only she was so strong, she could also be a bodyguard in the future, and female bodyguards would make more money!
"And then you stayed in Ireland in isolation for two years, and now you're going back home and not leaving?"
Hong Chen shook his head and looked at her with burning eyes: "It's going to be over in a few days, and I'm here to see you this time." ”
Qiao Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and came to see what I was doing? I have something to look at. But she didn't ask, because she knew the answer, Ireland didn't have a direct flight to City C, and she wouldn't pass through City C when she went home.
"And how long are you going to stay over there?"
"Two years." Hong Chen retracted his gaze and continued to eat, "It is expected that this is the case, and then I will be able to switch to work on the bright side, and I can commute to work and live normally." ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded unconsciously: "Then where do you live now?" ”
"I'll stay in the hotel tonight, and I'll get on the plane home tomorrow to have a look, I haven't been back for a long time, and my parents may not recognize me. Ha ha! ”
"That's right! I couldn't believe it was you when I first saw you. ”
Hong Chen always knows how to avoid topics she doesn't want to talk about, and it is easy to set up the atmosphere, after so many years, the care, happiness, and touching he has brought to her really makes Qiao Jinghui feel that it is difficult to repay.
And she didn't know how to refuse that kindness.
