It was busy until ten o'clock, and Qiao's house was almost decorated inside and out, and Qiao Du remembered that she had promised to meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning last night.

The quarrel with Fu Jingchao yesterday, the words he said, repeatedly rolled back and forth in his brain. After a night of thinking, Qiao Dui's mood precipitated a lot, and she made another decision.

She was about to go out to the Landsea Mansion, and Mrs. Qiao came down from the upper floor with the help of the nanny and called her: "Twilight, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of reunion, your father is lying alone in the hospital and is strangely deserted, go, today our family went to the hospital to see him." ”

Grandma said so, and she couldn't say anything about herself.

A group of four people and two cars set off to the hospital.

Qiao Du sat in Mrs. Qiao's car and asked her, "Does Yun Shen still want to see anyone?" ”

Qiao Du nodded: "Well, I went to the detention center twice, and he refused to see me both times." ”

Old Madam Qiao groaned and said: "Yun Shen's father died early, Yun Shen's child was abroad a few years ago, and your grandfather and I didn't care much about him, he has come to this point, and your grandfather and I have to bear a large part of the responsibility." ”

"Grandma, does Grandpa really not know anything about Brother Yun Shen's money laundering through Chenghao?" Qiao Du always felt that something was wrong.

Old Madam Qiao was taken aback: "Yunshen laundered money through Cheng Hao? Are you sure about this? When your grandfather was alive, the police investigated the rumors of Cheng Hao's money laundering for a long time, but nothing came out. Who are you listening to? ”

Qiao Duan was inconvenient to mention Fu Jingchao, so he smiled reluctantly and said, "I just heard, grandma, don't be angry." ”

"It's not enough to be angry." Old Madam Qiao sighed: "The Qiao family has been eventful in the past two years, your grandfather and your father have had accidents one after another, I must go to the temple another day to worship, ask for a sign, and see when the bad luck of the Qiao family begins to disperse." As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Dui again: "This Qiao family is old, small, and there is no one who can do anything, the only one who can rely on you is you, Twilight, you must fight for breath and let the Qiao family prosper again." Qiao Xinyi is a younger sister, you are a sister, speaking of which, you should get married first, and your sister can get married. ”

Qiao Twilight had an ominous premonition at this time, and how to talk about it, it went around her body.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao's conversation box opened, she persuaded one after another: "After the New Year, you are also twenty-three, the boss is not small, there are so many leftover women in society today, you can't be like this." You have to pick a good one while you're young, don't wait for another two years for all the good boys to be snatched away. ”

Qiao Du stroked his forehead, pretending to be stupid, and didn't want to answer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Old Madam Qiao thought that she had acquiesced, and was very interested: "That's it, I'll let someone find out the school-age son of Licheng another day, in short, the conditions must be good, and the character must be excellent, so as to be worthy of our twilight." ”

"Grandma, twenty-three is the big, now there are more people who marry later and have children later, fight for their careers first and then get married." Qiao Du knew that if she didn't fight for herself, maybe her grandmother would really arrange a blind date for her in two days.

"Twenty-three isn't big? I gave birth to two of you when you were twenty-three, and your father was a few years old at that time. ”

Qiao Du saw that grandma was determined to give her a marriage, and if she replied, there were hundreds of reasons waiting for her.

So she said vaguely: "Besides, grandma, as I told you, I will be on the board of directors after the year, and I will definitely have a lot of things to do by then." ”

Having said that, if she takes over Qiao's Group in the future, what will happen to "Yuanhai"?

Also, she is a Han Emperor artist, and she has a contract, so she can't be untrustworthy.

Qi Shuang, Lu Xiaomeng and she are on the same boat, if she is in business, the two of them will not be able to secure their jobs, and their livelihoods will be a problem in the future, won't she harm the two of them like this?

Let's not talk about Lu Xiaomeng, just talk about Qi Shuang, although she is the wife of a wealthy family and she is pregnant, Qi Shuang has said more than once that she doesn't want to rely on others, she has to rely on herself.

Qiao Duan's palms were sweating, because she didn't think about it, so she had to find a time to ventilate Qi Shuang first.

Hospital.

Old Man Qiao and Jian Pei took Qiao Yun in, Qiao Yuanjing saw that Qiao Yun almost didn't recognize him, although he couldn't say everything, he could see from his eyes that he was very excited and happy.

Qiao Du quietly came out of the ward, she held Qiao Yun's mobile phone in her hand, logged in with her WeChat, and roughly told Shuangshuang about it.

Qi Shuang didn't reply, maybe he didn't see it for a while.

In the ward, there was a warm scene of reunion, Qiao Du waited for a while, and got Qi Shuang's reply.

"Don't worry, didn't the board of directors only open in the third year of junior high school? I'll think about what to do about it. ”

Qiao Dui: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be the case. ”

Qi Shuang: "It's okay, be polite with me." Also, I just want to ask you, do you like filming? ”

Qiao Du replied without thinking: "Of course I like it, if I don't like it, I won't do it for six years, and after the New Year, it will be seven years." ”

Qi Shuang: "Understood." ”

At noon, the group returned to Qiao's house, and half an hour later, Qiao Dusk came to Landsea Mansion.

Zhong Yezhi looked at her a little anxiously: "Miss Qiao, why can't you get through on your mobile phone, I thought something happened to you." ”

Qiao Du smiled: "Nothing happened to me, my phone got into the water, and I can't use it for the time being." ”

Zhong Yezhi took his mobile phone and coat, "Then let's leave now, the Civil Affairs Bureau will start the holiday at noon today, I used my relationship, they promised to wait for us to arrive at two o'clock, and it's just right to set off now." ”

"Mr. Zhong." Qiao Du didn't move, called him, and smiled: "I didn't bring my household registration book." ”

Midnight Zhi stopped and turned to look at her: "I can drive you home to pick it up." ”

Qiao Du was still smiling: "No, what I want to say is that I may not be able to agree to Mr. Zhong's marriage registration." ”

"Why?" Midnight Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Is there something dissatisfied with Miss Qiao?" Can be raised. ”

"It's not." Qiao Du shook his head, the smile on his face was calm and calm, and elaborated: "I have nothing to dislike with Mr. Zhong, I just think that since Mr. Zhong said that after registering the marriage, he will not do the formalities and will not announce it to the outside world, so there is no need to be so troublesome." The purpose of you and I getting married is to help Zhong Siyi cure her mental illness, the child is still so young, she doesn't know what forms of marriage are needed, as long as you and I are in the same voice, tell her that I am her mother, I believe she will not delve into what you and I are like adults, whether you and I are a real husband and wife, right? ”

Such a clear and irrefutable words came out, and Midnight Zhi was stunned for a long time.

Qiao Duan tilted her head and smiled faintly: "Mr. Zhong, did you say that what I said was right?" ”

"Miss Joe." Zhong Yezhi lowered her head with a bitter smile in her voice: "I said that she was ridiculed and bullied by other children in kindergarten without a mother, and she will get this disease over time, according to her age, she should go to elementary school, but now she can't go to school, she is afraid of school, she is afraid of her classmates." What I hope is that she can live a carefree life like ordinary children, go to school happily every day, and go home happily, of course, all this premise is to make her believe that you are really her mother, and these three years do not mean that you can build trust with her at home and let her come out of mania. You always want to take her out into the sun, take her out to play, take her out to get in touch with society, if others ask, what do you say in front of her? Admit you're her mom? With your and my status in the entertainment industry, this matter will definitely spread, what if the reporter finds out that you and I have never registered with the Civil Affairs Bureau, and then it reaches the ears of the ethereal? All your efforts and mine have been wasted, maybe her mania will get worse, and then how will you and I end? ”

Qiao Du didn't say anything.

Zhong Yezhi sighed lightly, and his words were sincere: "To be honest, I don't want my daughter to be scolded as an illegitimate daughter, she has been hurt too much, I don't want her to be hurt again." As parents, you and I should protect our children, instead of worrying about ourselves and thinking only of ourselves. ”

As parents, you and I should protect our children, instead of worrying and thinking only about ourselves......

Qiao Du was pressed down by such a big mountain, and the following words could no longer be spoken.

She hesitated for about a minute, then said slowly, "Okay, I'm ......"

Zhong Yezhi's mobile phone rang, and after hearing the other party's words, the whole person was shocked: "What? Off work? ”

He looked up at the clock on the wall, it was only 1:26, and there was still half an hour before 2 o'clock, and his voice was a little tight: "I said hello to the leaders above, didn't you emphasize it to the staff?" ”

“……”

Qiao Du looked at Midnight's brow, which was so tight that she could catch flies, and felt that there was a stubble on the side of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

waited for Zhong Yezhi to put down his mobile phone and took the initiative to tell her: "The Civil Affairs Bureau is off work over there, it seems that you and I can only wait for them to go to work on the seventh day of the new year before registering." He looked at her with a warning as he spoke: "Miss Qiao, I hope today's words will enlighten you." ”

Qiao Du was silent for a few seconds and nodded slightly.

Dongcheng Group, President's Office.

The winter afternoon sun was lazy and revealing the temperature, Fu Jingchao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and raised his chin, squinting at the sky.

Seeing that the door of the office was open, Luo Quan knocked twice and came in, stopping at his desk: "Mr. Fu, all the staff on the side of the Civil Affairs Bureau got off work two minutes ago. ”

Fu Jingchao's figure didn't move, for a long time, and he let out a deep hum.

"Mr. Fu, are you really not going back to the imperial capital?" Luo Quan felt inexplicably sad when he thought about the big boss spending the New Year alone.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Luo Quan was frightened, touched his nose, and saw that the big boss had no orders, so he said: "President Fu, that's nothing, I'm going back, and my family is still waiting for me to eat Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Let's go." Fu Jingchao didn't look back, and threw a sentence.

Luo Quan quickly left.

The huge office, the huge top floor, and even the huge dozens of floors of the Dongcheng Group building were empty, and he was the only one standing here, as if guarding an empty city.

The sky over the city of Li City began to smell of Chinese New Year's Eve, and he drove alone, driving alone on the equally empty streets.

He held the steering wheel expressionlessly, surrounded by the atmosphere of the New Year, but as if it had nothing to do with him.

It's not as if, it's really unrelated to yourself.

On the side of the street, he parked his car and smoked a cigarette for a long time, as long as he looked up, he could see a corner of Qiao's villa.

The first day of the first month.

Qiao Du received two big red envelopes, one for Mrs. Qiao and one for Jian Pei.

As soon as Qiao Yun recovered the red envelope, it was still a pile of banknotes, nesting in the sofa and counting the money directly, looking at his money obsession, Qiao Duan was amused for a while, and took out the red envelope that had been prepared for him a long time ago, so happy that Qiao Yun almost wanted to kiss her.

The second day of the first month.

Qiao Duxin bought a new mobile phone, and the original mobile phone number could not be used, so she got a new one.

It was also on this day that Fu Jingchao returned to the Champs-Élysées.

Fu Ce has a high prestige in the military circles, and naturally there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as Fu Jingchao entered, he happened to meet some uncles and uncles, and it was rare to see him, even if he said hello, those people didn't let him go, and chatted together.

The topic naturally fell on the big matter that he hadn't started a family yet, and many uncles and uncles offered to introduce him to a girlfriend and find a mother for Fu Chengrui.

Fu Jingchao has long been familiar with dealing with this kind of topic, and he quickly coped with it, under the pretext of packing his luggage, and went upstairs.

Downstairs, looking at Fu Jingchao's figure, several of Fu Ce's old buddies were worried.

"I said old man, you see that the second child of your family was pregnant not long after he got married, this Jing Dynasty is still the boss, why is it that he refuses to marry a wife after so long when he has a child? I'm wondering if the person he likes is different from what we imagined......"

Another interrupted: "What do you say, what you like is different from us, you just say that he doesn't like women?" Nonsense, Jing Chao, this kid grew up with a few of us, and when he was a child, he was the most masculine in the military compound, how could he not like women? ”

"I'm just talking, and besides, I'm not worried about his marriage?" The old dude argued.

Fu Ce listened for a long time, stretched out his hand to interrupt everyone's argument and said: "Okay, don't talk about you about this, I'm also anxious, but this kid has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, and he is in charge of everything, and I have no way to deal with him." If my brothers really want to help me, help me introduce a suitable daughter-in-law another day? ”

When everyone heard this, they looked embarrassed: "It's not that we don't want to help, it's that we haven't introduced a hundred over the years, but there are dozens, and none of them have been able to get into Jing Chao's eyes." ”

"No, I do have one here." The old guy slapped his thigh: "I guarantee that it is suitable for Jing Chao." ”

Downstairs for Fu Jingchao's marriage was in full swing, upstairs, Fu Jingchao took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, and walked to the bar to pour himself a glass of red wine.

As soon as he took a sip, a small figure appeared at the door of the room.

"What's the matter?" He glanced over with a vague look, knowing that his son would not come to him if he was fine.

Fu Chengrui held the mobile phone in his hand, hesitated and walked over, and showed the mobile phone to his father, it was a New Year's greeting, and the recipient was Qiao Dui.

The text message sent by the little guy yesterday morning has not been replied to today.

Fu Jingchao glanced lightly, played with the crystal goblet in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't contact her for the time being." ”

Fu Chengrui also thought for a while yesterday morning before deciding to send a New Year's greeting to Qiao Dui, he was not so affectionate to Qiao Dui, mainly because he was angry and thought that Aunt Twilight changed her number and didn't tell him, indicating that he didn't have him in his heart and felt annoying him, but when he returned to the imperial capital in the past two days, he remembered that Aunt Twilight made him a delicious breakfast at the resort, made a bed for him, let him sleep in the bed with her, and let his father sleep on the sofa, he felt that Aunt Twilight was still very good to him.

The little guy plucked up the courage to send such a New Year's greeting, and he waited for a day and a night, and he didn't know why, so he came to ask his father.

As a result, his father came to say this.

What do you mean?

Don't contact Aunt Twilight?

Why?

Fu Jingchao poured himself another glass of red wine, and looked sideways to see his son looking at him with wide eyes, as if accusing him, asking him if he was bullying Aunt Dui.

He lifted the corners of his lips coldly: "Don't worry about adults and children, have you finished your winter vacation homework?" ”

Fu Chengrui nodded unwillingly, his eyes still staring at his father, wanting to get an answer to why he didn't contact Aunt Dusk.

"Isn't it required to be signed by the parents? Take it while I'm free. Fu Jingchao didn't look at his son again, one hand was on the bar, and the other hand was holding red wine.

Fu Chengrui's small figure left, and came over after a while, and reluctantly handed over the homework book.

The man's dark eyes were half down, he turned to the last page, picked up the signature pen, and wrote the words "Fu Jingchao" in the lower right corner.

Seeing that his father finished writing, Fu Chengrui subconsciously wanted to stretch out his little hand and take it, but suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated and there was a message.

Fu Chengrui was so excited that his whole little face turned red after seeing the message, it was sent from an unfamiliar number, but the content was Aunt Dui's tone: "Little Ruirui, this is Aunt Dui's mobile phone, I'm really sorry, Aunt Dui's mobile phone is broken, this is a new number, you remember it." ”

Fu Chengrui was very happy, and immediately entered Qiao Dui's new number into his mobile phone.

Next to him, Fu Jingchao looked at his son's happy little face, frowned and asked, "Whose information?" ”

Fu Chengrui ignored it, and the bad father said that he wouldn't let him contact Aunt Dusk, so he didn't tell him.

Seeing that his son's mood changed dramatically from loss to instant, and he was almost dancing happily, Fu Jingchao roughly guessed who it was, and snorted coldly.

Fu Chengrui saved his mobile phone number, and no longer blamed Qiao Duan for not replying to his message, it turned out that Aunt Dui's mobile phone was broken, so he wanted to go back to the room in a hurry and send the New Year's greetings again.

The little guy reached out to go to the bar to get Fu Jingchao's signed winter vacation homework book, but as soon as the little hand arrived there, it was empty, and the winter vacation homework book was put on the other side of the body by the man and firmly blocked.

Fu Jingchao said unhurriedly: "Tell me, what did she tell you?" ”

Dislike.

Fu Chengrui wrinkled his delicate little nose, he didn't want the homework book anymore, but then he thought about it, no, if the bad father always withholds his homework book, he can't hand it in when school starts, how faceless he is in front of teachers and classmates.

The little guy then held up the phone in front of Fu Jingchao, and only stopped for a few seconds before putting the phone back.

Fu Jingchao retracted his gaze, returned his son's homework book, and as soon as his son left, he took out his mobile phone and entered someone's new number without hesitation.

Fu Jingchao was not there on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he only came back this morning, and at noon, the Fu family gathered around and finally had a reunion dinner.

In the afternoon, Fu's mother stopped Fu Jingchao, who was about to go out: "Why don't you stay at home, and when you come back, you will go to find your few hairies?" ”

Every time the eldest son returned to the imperial capital, Fang Shun would call him to ask him out, which had become something that everyone in the Fu family knew.

Fu Jingchao held his coat in his left arm, and his other hand was in his trouser pocket, showing his demeanor in his calmness, and he responded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Mother Fu frowned: "Don't go out to play for the time being today, go to Shuiyang Garden first, there are some things that are better for you than us." ”

"What's wrong?" Fu Jingchao asked.

"What's the matter, it's not Jin Wei and Su Xuan, since it was revealed that Su Xuan had given birth to a child before, and the man she was with was a teacher much older than herself, those two have been having trouble recently. Especially Jinwei, drunk all day, no, I heard that on Chinese New Year's Eve, I drank all night, poured myself unconscious, and on the first day of the new year, I went crazy at home and smashed everything I could. Zhang Shu's temper was hot again, and when she saw that her son had been wronged, she scolded Su Xuan and made a lot of trouble. It's not going to be a good year over there. ”

Fu Jingchao's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his thin lips pursed.

Mother Fu chuckled: "Fortunately, you are wise and broke up with that drama earlier, otherwise our family will be implicated in this matter." ”

Fu Jingchao could hear that this "drama" was referring to Qiao Dui, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he said unhappily: "Mom, you have to figure it out, it was someone who took the initiative to post a breakup statement on Weibo, which means that your son was dumped, not me." ”

"You kid." Fu's mother was a little anxious when she heard that her son was still talking to the actor, "I don't know who you are?" Looking at the past, not to mention Licheng, just say that the girl who wants to marry you in the imperial capital can line up all the way to the Great Wall, what does she Qiao Du have, isn't it the first to start, knowing that marrying our family is no fun, take the initiative to post a Weibo to find yourself under the stairs, otherwise when you dump her first, what face will she use in the entertainment industry in the future? I don't understand your mother? ”

Fu Jingchao was too lazy to fight with his mother about this, strode out the door, and threw down a sentence: "I'm leaving." ”

Mother Fu chased after her: "Hey, this is the New Year, what's the matter with you going to Shuiyang Garden empty-handed, wait, I'll ask someone to bring some things for you to bring over." ”

"No, I'm not going to the Water Garden." Fu Jingchao walked to the car outside the courtyard, pulled the car door with one hand, got in and started the car.

"Well, why don't you go? You said you went to hang out with those little guys again, going back and forth with those few people every year, what's the point? Fu's mother encouraged through the car window: "Jin Wei has admired you the most since he was a child, he can listen to your words, you go and persuade." ”

"Mom, how do you want me to persuade you?" Fu Jingchao's arm was carelessly resting on the side of the car window, and his dark eyes flashed with essence: "The thing was done by Su Xuan, Jin Wei can't think of it, I can say that he can open it?" He is an adult, he understands the truth better than anyone else, if my mother wants me to persuade them to divide the two, then what should Fu Zhongxi do? ”
