In the living room, Fu Jingchao put Qiao Du on the sofa, and when she saw him squatting down to take off her shoes, she sat up busily, took off her shoes and took them to the hallway, and put them in the shoe cabinet.

"Bai Yan is dead, you know?" Qiao Du asked Fu Jingchao, who came over.

"I heard." Fu Jingchao took off his coat, handed it to the nanny, and walked over to put his arm around her shoulder, "Where did you know this news?" ”

Qiao Du suddenly realized that she had accidentally slipped her mouth, and she must not let him know that it was Brother Yun Shen who told her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and laughed, and said differently: "Don't you ask me when I go back to see Qiao Yuanjing, what did he tell me." ”

"What can he say to you is nothing more than to take advantage of this money laundering incident to seize your handle."

Qiao Du pursed her lower lip: "It's really worthy of the old rivers and lakes, I know this." ”

Fu Jingchao pulled his tie again: "It's not my old Jianghu, it's Qiao Yuanjing who is famous in the business field of Licheng, don't say it's me, others can guess it." He used to be weak, so he handed over Qiao's to you, and now that his body is recovering, he naturally wants to regret it and take Qiao's management back into his hands. ”

"So I didn't hesitate to refuse." The smile on Qiao Dui's face didn't matter, in fact, his chest was extremely tight, "I told him that it was a child's trick to go back the things that were sent out, and he didn't want me to hand them over." ”

Fu Jingchao lowered his head and slowly unfastened the cufflinks on his sleeves: "I know that you are reluctant to hold the next season's press conference, and you don't want to give up halfway." ”

Qiao Dui's eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips and lowered her head and hummed softly.

Fu Jingchao turned his gaze to her face, hooked his lips and asked casually, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? Could it be that you don't want to let go of Qiao's and sit in the CEO seat for a long time, and you have a sense of infatuation? ”

"What are you talking about?" Qiao Dui pursed her lips very disapprovingly, took a fork and forked a piece of fruit into her mouth, lowered her head slightly, puffed out her cheeks and chewed, with a layer of anger on her face.

"I'm just kidding, it's so easy to get angry, and they all say that pregnant women are emotionally changeable, and it turns out to be true." He shaved her nose in a pampering manner.

On the ground, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Xiao Tao ran in panting: "No...... Oh no, I was about to clean the pantry when I noticed two figures inside, and as soon as I opened the door, they ran away...... Ran to the backyard......"

Fu Jingchao's face sank, Huo Ran stood up, pressed Qiao Duan's shoulder and said softly, "Stay here and don't move, wait for me to come back." ”

Qiao Du sat up and nodded solemnly: "Be careful." ”

"This is in Liuliwan, don't worry, I'll be fine." He sneered a little, leading Xiao Tao,

Strode out.

Everyone in the hall ran out, she wanted to go out, and remembered that she was pregnant, so she didn't dare to run out rashly, so she turned on the TV.

"Smack-"

Suddenly, there was a noise in the northwest corner of the living room, echoing in the huge space, and she hurriedly turned around with the remote control in her hand, and a dark shadow stood there at some point.

He has a long body and a black cloak, and his face cannot be seen clearly.

"Who are you?" Qiao Du stood up with a fruit fork in her hand and a wary face.

The black shadow let out a sly laugh: "Miss Qiao, don't come unharmed! ”

"You ......" Qiao Du was stunned and stared at the other party.

The man smiled mysteriously, and moved the cloak back a little, revealing a face that was fairer and more delicate than a woman's skin, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and crimson lips that led people to reverie.

"You're Aaron?" Qiao Twilight guessed intuitively.

"You're smart, you've guessed well, and you're down there." Aaron completely took off the cloak on his head: "But although Miss Qiao is afraid, I just want to have a chat with Miss Qiao, and I will leave after chatting." ”

"What do you have to talk to me about?" Jotwilight looked out of the living room, and she was the only one left here.

"Isn't there anything to talk about?" Aaron stared at Qiao Dui's face and smiled leisurely, but there was a trembling hideousness and chill in that smile, "When will the key in Miss Qiao's hand be returned to me?" ”

"What key?" Qiao Twilight moved towards the door of the living room, Aaron's cloak was bulging, a big drug lord like him must have a gun on him, she couldn't shout, she could only outwit at the moment.

Aaron slowly sorted out the leather gloves in his hand, "Miss Qiao, it's no fun to pretend to be stupid again, that key is something we organized, and it's useless for you to take it." Not only is it useless, but it may also lead to death! ”

Last time, Aaron instructed Qiao Xinyi to force her grandmother to hand over the key, and this time she came to the door in person, and it could be seen that he had already suspected her, and at this time he denied that the key was not in her hand and wanted to cover it up.

Jo Twilight struggled to calm herself, and it was Aaron in front of her, who happened to have a lot of questions to ask him, "Aaron, I have something to ask you, and if you answer me, maybe I can tell you the whereabouts of the key." ”

"Oh?" Aaron came interested: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Did my grandfather have been associated with your organization since he died?" Qiao Du lowered her voice: "That's why Brother Yun Shen will cooperate with you to sell drugs?" ”

Aaron probably expected her to ask such a question, and smiled gloomily, "That's true, Qiao Yang's old fox is insatiable, he escaped from Thailand and took the key, and my people only found him a few years ago, he refused to hand it over, but wanted to cooperate with us, so he introduced Qiao Yunshen to me, it was his own grandson, and he was willing to do it." ”

Qiao Duan paused, and said with some reluctance: "Grandpa may have his own troubles, he is not an insatiable person, at least in front of me he is not. "Otherwise, it would be impossible for grandpa to leave both the wharf and Chenghao to her, these two industries add up to hundreds of millions of assets.

"Bitter?" Aaron seemed to chew on these two words, and smiled wickedly: "He does have a hard time, in order to take other people's wives for himself, he deliberately designed his sworn brother to be shot to death, and then made that woman's belly bigger and quietly brought back to China, and gave birth to a baby boy the next year, named Joe for a year." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Qiao Dui's pretty face immediately tensed: "You are not allowed to destroy my grandfather like this!" ”

Aaron didn't pay attention to her words at all, shrugged his shoulders, and admired an antique vase next to him with interest: "I guess you also know that Old Fox Qiao got married once in Thailand without telling Old Mrs. Qiao, that old thing can't do anything for money, do you really think that he is guilty of your grandfather to be especially good to you?" Wrong, that's because you're Joe's daughter, and Joe is his own son, the son of his favorite woman. ”

"Impossible, my grandfather only loves my grandma in this life, he can't fall in love with someone else......" Qiao Dui's words came to an abrupt end here, when Wei Ju told her that her grandfather had married a woman surnamed Shi in Thailand, she felt sorry for her grandmother, and still gave her grandfather a reason, maybe he was trying to survive, but grandpa later escaped from the organization, and when he returned to Licheng, he should live a peaceful life, he should not lead Brother Yun Shen into the fire pit and continue to engage in drug trafficking.

This past is both disappointing and uncomfortable, and Aaron puts another real grandfather in front of her eyes, which makes her heart shatter the tall image of her grandfather.

She was really confused, she didn't know the people around her, those things, which one was true and which one was false, the kind grandfather in her mind turned out to be a heinous drug dealer, Uncle Huang had been using Qiao's to help launder money, and Qiao Yuanjing, he must have known something, so he refused to call the police and arrest Huang Xin.

Overnight, almost everyone around her changed, and her whole world changed with it.

What is black and what is white seems to be all blurred.

Aaron's attention shifted from the vase to Joe's dull face, "Can't stand this?" Wouldn't you be even more unbearable if I told you what the man who slept next to your pillow every day had done? ”

Qiao Du heard that he was referring to Fu Jingchao, but she had 100% trust in Fu Jingchao, and the words of others didn't want to shake her at all.

Aaron observed the confidence on her face, "Why don't you go and ask him what he did to Joe a year thirteen years ago?" ”

Joe a year?

What was the relationship between Fu Jingchao and Qiao Nian thirteen years ago?

Qiao Du said lightly: "Don't say it, I won't believe your rhetoric." ”

Aaron's amber eyes were full of evil, and he touched his chin and said, "In that case, why don't you listen to my next words and see if it's a rhetoric or a real story." ”

"I won't listen, you can go." Qiao Du always felt that this Aaron was not good, and dared to come under Fu Jingming's nose, and his courage was not ordinary.

There were faint footsteps outside, and it seemed that Fu Jingchao and the housekeeper had returned.

Aaron smiled calmly and walked quickly towards Joe, who was about to shout when a gun was put against her abdomen.

"If you don't want the child in your belly to go to the west, it's best not to make a sound." Aaron's face is more feminine and delicate when viewed up close, and even women can't help but envy it.

Qiao Twilight pursed her lips and nodded slightly, her palms drenched with sweat, it was obvious that Aaron was planning to kidnap her.

In the next second, a group of people wearing black cloaks appeared behind Aaron, all wearing black fanged masks on their faces.

Aaron ignored the group of subordinates and raised his chin upstairs, "I'll take you to see something good." ”

"Don't you want the whereabouts of the key?" Qiao Du didn't want to go with him.

"I'll get the key, now you come up with me." Aaron grabbed her by the collar at the back of her neck and sprang silently towards the second floor.

The group of men in black disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Study room on the second floor.

Aaron put Qiao Twilight down and leaned behind the door, "The answer you want should be here, look carefully." ”

Is he saying that Qiao's death in a year is related to Fu Jingchao?

Qiao Duan began to rummage in a daze, the cause of Qiao's death in one year, she experienced it firsthand, there could be no mistake, Qiao was drunk for days and days because of Su Xuan's farewell, and one night he was drunk and froze to death by the river.

Judging from Aaron's expression, it is indeed related to Fu Jingchao.

This matter sounds so unbelievable, how could Qiao Yinian and Fu Jingchao be related more than ten years ago?

Qiao Du was dripping in cold sweat all over her body, telling herself not to be fooled, it must be instigated by someone with ulterior motives.

However, her steps were involuntary, and she walked around the study more quickly, rummaging.

People often say to believe what the eyes see, and what she has experienced recently has been told again and again that often what the eyes see is not the truth, but what they find is.

First grandfather, then Huang Xin, these two are the elders she respects and trusts the most, and now they have long been unrecognizable in her eyes, and she didn't want to believe that grandpa and Uncle Huang would be related to drugs and money laundering when she was killed before, but what was in front of her had to make her believe.

Aaron said that Fu Jingchao was related to Qiao's death for a year, and whether it was true or not, she had to investigate it herself to find the truth.

Looking around at the furnishings in the study, Fu Sichen and Fu Jingchao had a fight last time, and it was obviously newly renovated, and the style was as simple and atmospheric as ever.

She walked straight to the bookshelf and looked around, but saw no mechanism.

I went back to the desk and opened the first drawer, which contained a shiny black pistol, next to two boxes of cigarettes and a lighter.

She took a breath and opened the second drawer, where three thin sheets of paper rested, each with two numbers on it, not knowing what they meant.

When she saw the last one she was stunned, it was ...... The two numbers that Brother Yun Shen left her.

I remember that day after she watched Brother Yun Shen come out of the detention center, Fu Jingchao stopped her and asked her what Brother Yun Shen wrote in her palm, but she didn't say.

After all this time, why is this number in his drawer?

"Fu Jingchao is also looking for the key."

Wei Ju's voice echoed in her ears, she took a deep breath, put the paper back in, and closed the drawer indiscriminately.

It turned out that he had already gotten the coordinates......

Qiao Du tried to calm herself down, it didn't mean anything, she didn't enter the study to find this,

She bent down and opened the third drawer again.

It was clean and tidy, with only a stack of very ordinary-looking papers.

In addition to this, the study has been found, Qiao Du has the mentality of giving it a try, and moved the documents out, and there seemed to be something bulging at the bottom, she reached out and took it out.

This is a very small diamond ring, due to the age, the ring has lost its luster, but she still recognizes at a glance that this is the ring that Qiao was about to propose to Su Xuan in the first year.

After Su Xuan left, Qiao had to take out the ring every day for a year.

After Joe's death, she rummaged through Joe's room to find the ring, but couldn't find it.

She couldn't believe it, this ring that disappeared that year was here, she was afraid that she would admit it wrong, after all, there are so many rings in this world, there must be duplicate ones, turn over the back of the ring, and there are a few letters engraved by Qiao in the year.

It is the abbreviation of Su Xuan and Qiao's name for one year.

She suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, and her body could barely stand.

It was really strange that Qiao Nian froze to death by the river back then, and she once heard the funeral home staff who was responsible for sorting out Qiao Nian's body mutter: "This corpse looks good on the outside, how can it be broken like that inside, the flesh and blood in the abdomen are blurred, like ...... Bombed by something. ”

At that time, she was accompanied by the neighbor next door, and everyone thought that Qiao was drunk and fell on the corner of the stone by the river, resulting in an abdominal injury, and he froze to death after fainting in pain, and no one thought much about it.

If Qiao really didn't freeze to death in the first year, it was related to Fu Jingchao.

What really happened that year?

She looked up to look for Aaron's figure, wanting to ask him if he knew anything, the fog in front of her was hazy, she raised her arm to wipe away the tears in front of her, but heard a feminine and cruel voice coming: "Miss Qiao, don't forget what you promised me, about the key, I will come back to you again, I hope you will prepare the key in advance at that time." ”

When she opened her eyes again, she found that the back window was wide open, the wind was blowing in, and Aaron was nowhere to be found.

Quickly stood up and ran to the window, only to see a dark shadow emerge from the wall in the night.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the study, and she took a breath, glanced at the ring in her hand, and hurriedly put it back in its place, and closed the drawer.

The next moment, the study was pushed open, and the man hurried in.

The computer on the desk was turned on, Qiao Du put his hand on the keyboard and tapped it, and looked up when he heard the movement, "Did anyone catch it?" ”

"No, I ran away." Fu Jingchao's gaze was bottomless, "Why did you run up?" ”

"I remember that I didn't do some work, so I borrowed your computer for use." She smiled softly and asked him instead, "Who the hell is it?" Did the surveillance capture it? ”

"The surveillance was breached beforehand, and nothing was filmed." Fu Jingchao's fingers tapped on the tabletop, his face cold.

"Who is so powerful?" Qiao Du tilted his head to look at him, "Could it be Aaron's people?" ”

Fu Jingchao touched her hair with his big hand: "Leave this matter to me, there are still twenty minutes to eat, you hurry up and work, and after a while, Rui'er and her classmates should come back to play." ”

"Oh." She obediently agreed, her eyes turned to the computer screen, and her fingers continued to tap.

The air was quiet for a while.

When she finished working on a paperwork, she looked up to see him standing in front of the window and smoking.

For a moment, she wanted to ask him if Joe's death in a year had something to do with him?

But, what if you ask?

He said it a long time ago, so why wait until now.

"You really don't want to know why Fu Jingchao got that key?"

"Do you think Fu Jingchao is the embodiment of justice? If I told you why he was discharged from the army that year, would you still think that he was an upright man? ”

Wei Ju's words that day suddenly rang in his ears.

"Chao." She silently walked behind him, licked her lips and said, "There is something I want to ask you, that is, why did you leave the army back then?" ”

His figure didn't move, but she could see that his body was stiff for a moment, and his blackpool-like eyes turned to look at her: "Okay, why do you ask about this?" ”

"Curious, just ask." She stepped forward, her smile pure, her small hands gently smoothing the folds of his delicate shirt.

He half-lowered his eyes, put his big hand on her delicate waist, his voice was as low as red wine, and said without a trace: "I retired from the army because I didn't want to go down according to my parents' wishes, I thought life was too short, and I wanted to try another possibility, so I submitted an application for discharge." ”

"I'm quite satisfied with this answer." Qiao Dui's small hand touched his knife-like handsome face.

He grabbed her little hand: "What does it mean that you are quite satisfied with this answer, this is the truth." ”

"Yes, yes, can't I be wrong?" Qiao Dui looked downstairs, and a car drove in at the gate of the courtyard, and under the illumination of the street lamp, it could be seen that it was the car that picked up Fu Chengrui.

"Rui'er is back, I'm so hungry, I can eat." She pulled out her hand and smiled and walked towards the study.

Fu Jingchao was still standing in place, his eyes staring at the big hand that left her fragrant body temperature, frowning slightly, and turning his gaze to the windowsill, on which there were half very clear footprints, judging from the size, it should be a man's footprint.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Qiao Du came out of Fu Chengrui's room, the little guy probably knew that she was pregnant, and his attitude was much gentler towards her, although he was too old to tell bedtime stories, she still found a book to tell him.

Halfway through the conversation, he fell asleep.

It seems to be exhausted.

She quietly kissed the little one on the pretty forehead, covered him with the quilt, and left lightly.

Stroking her flat abdomen with one hand, she walked upstairs while laughing, Rui'er missed too much in her childhood, seeing that she was pregnant with another child, this time she will not miss any of the child's growth stages, she wants to be a qualified mother.

The further she walked to the third floor, the less smiles appeared on her face, and the hand on her abdomen tightened involuntarily.

It is undeniable that Wei Ju is right, Fu Jingchao hid a lot about his retirement from the army that year.

He kept saying that he wanted to spend his life with her, but he was lying to her and talking nonsense when he opened his eyes. So how much more is he hiding from her?

If you count the time, the year he was discharged from the army happened to be the year when Joe died and the trajectory of her life was turned upside down.

Is it a coincidence?

How can there be so many coincidences, not at all coincidences.

There was a cold temperature in her heart, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but where could she go, she was pregnant with his child in her belly, even if she didn't think about him, she thought about the child.

Mu Ran pushed open the door, she despised herself like this, despised herself who seemed to be strong, but was actually emotionally cowardly and evaded, she should have asked in person, she should have asked clearly, but she didn't have the courage.

If she asks, she won't be able to pretend, she will want to leave, she is no longer alone, Rui'er grows up, let's not mention it, what about the child in her belly?

So, she couldn't help but want to try again.

raised his arm and wanted to push the door, but the door was opened from the inside, Fu Jingchao, who was wrapped in a nightgown, probably hadn't seen her for a long time and wanted to go out to find her, seeing that there was no blood on her face, he was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he hooked his long arm and took her into his arms, and asked nervously: "Where is it uncomfortable?" Do you want to throw up? ”

The familiar smell of refreshing shower gel rushed into the tip of her nose, she calmed down, and her little hand subconsciously held his hard arm, "No, I'm not uncomfortable, I'll go take a shower first, okay?" ”

Fu Jingchao touched her buttocks through the professional short skirt on her body and let go of her hand.
