Chapter 268: Walking the Red Carpet
Qiao Yichen booked a luxury private room, the private room is on the first floor, and all the furniture is very traditional Chinese style. The carved table of eight immortals is paired with high-backed chairs, and even the sofa in the lounge area is also mahogany. Open the glass door next to the floor-to-ceiling window and you can go directly to the garden behind. The green bamboo forest outside is quite eye-catching.
Qiao Yichen ordered food, I estimated that I would have to wait for a while to start eating, so I took the baby to the garden, sat on the flower gallery and looked at the copper coin grass and koi fish raised in the artificially chiseled flowing water.
"You're all right, you still have a fever when I accompanied my dad to see you that day. Later, Qiao Yichen said that it was all right, but you have never come to the company, and my father and I are very worried......" Li Wei also walked out of the private room.
"It's been around for a long time...... Maybe I couldn't help but toss when I was old, and I was startled and started a fever. I casually looked at the fish swimming in the water, "My dad didn't know about my kidnapping, you have a doorman." ”
"I know......" Li Wei nodded.
"You asked Uncle Li to come over and cut the ribbon at the theme park?" I know that Li Shi doesn't have any big projects in Maple City, and I have to pick up a bigger one, which is the theme park that is about to open.
"Can I please move him? You think too highly of me......" Li Wei pursed his lips, "You are the only one who can alarm him." That day, I heard that you had been kidnapped, and I rushed over with a roar. ”
...... "I looked at Li Wei with some surprise, how did I know that I was kidnapped, Li Mingyuan?"
"Dad has an old friend who works in the security bureau here, and I couldn't find you that day, so I had to ask Dad to ask someone to check." Li Wei continued, "Dad rushed over after he found out, and personally helped you clean up Zhao Xi's old puppet in the past few days, it is estimated that the police here are going crazy, Zhao Xi's unsightly goods are reported every day, and even the company's finances are frozen today......
No wonder Zhao Xi came to Qiao Yichen with a disgraced face today, and Qiao Yichen is a look of me, it doesn't matter to me how miserable you are, don't force me to clean up your face. It turned out that the person who was in Zhao was Limingyuan......
"Xin Xin, it's time to eat." Qiao Yichen pushed open the glass door and walked out.
Li Wei smiled at me, then grabbed the baby's little hand and said, "Let's go, Xiao Wei, let's go back to eat." ”
In the private room, Dad and Li Mingyuan were talking happily, Qiao Yichen handed over the baby to the nanny and asked me to sit at the dining table: "You can eat quickly, or Xiao Wei will make trouble again in a while." ”
"Daddy, drink some soup." I knew that Dad liked corn rib soup, so I served him a bowl.
"Good." Dad smiled at me, "Let's serve Uncle Li a bowl too." ”
"Hmm." I filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Limingyuan, "You drink the soup." ”
"Good...... Good ......" Limingyuan looked at me in a daze, how to say it, his expression was a little flattered.
The atmosphere at the dinner table is very good, Dad and Li Mingyuan have a conversation without a match, Li Wei and Qiao Yichen sometimes say a word or two, I bury my head in eating, because no matter what time the meal starts, my little ancestor only lets me eat half of lunch every day, and then I have to make a fuss to feed. Sure enough, it was time, and the baby started crying.
"Okay, got it." I said to the waiter, "I want another poplar nectar." "I can't eat well, so I need to add a dessert.
"Don't ice it." Qiao Yichen explained again, and accompanied me out of the dining table and to the sofa.
"You go to dinner, I can do it alone, and besides, there is an aunt here." I pushed Qiao Yichen.
"This kid is too noisy, he tosses people so much every day." Qiao Yichen pinched the baby's little feet, "If you grow up and are so hypocritical, Dad will clean you up!" ”
"Poof." The baby will not eat milk when he grows up, okay......
The baby was sleepy after feeding, so I put him on the sofa, patted him gently, and soon fell asleep.
When I returned to the table for dessert, the remnants of the table had been removed and snacks, fruit and tea were arranged.
"Are you going to Berlin next week?" Li Wei asked.
"Well, I want to go over early, I'm afraid the baby will not adapt." Although the wedding is still half a month away, I plan to go ahead of schedule.
"Then let Aunt Yao accompany you first, and I'll go with Dad later." Li Wei groaned.
"Okay." I nodded.
After eating, we sent my father back to the nursing home, and when we were about to arrive at the nursing home, my father suddenly said: "Xin Xin, according to the current situation, my father can't accompany you on the red carpet at the wedding." ”
"You come with us, Yichen has already contacted the authoritative brain expert over there, and by the way, I will give you a detailed physical examination." I'm afraid that my dad will be tired from doing rehabilitation in a hurry, "Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, I can push you." ”
"What's that like...... "Dad took my hand, "let your Uncle Li accompany you on the red carpet, okay?" ”
"Not good." I shook my head.
"Your Uncle Li is also very suitable, Dad is watching you from below......" Dad said softly.
"He asked you to say that?" My eyes narrowed, and the anger in my heart turned upward, and I looked at my father for a moment, for fear of missing any of his expressions.
"If you have something to say, don't be angry......" Qiao Yichen may have seen that my face was wrong, and hurriedly stroked my back, "The doctor has explained that it is easy to return to milk when angry, and the baby will have nothing to eat......"
"You kid, you're a mother, why are you still in a hurry?" Dad hurriedly shook his head, "No one told me...... It's my own ......."
"Dad, don't you want me?" My tone was a little choked.
"What's the matter, what are you thinking?" Dad shook my hand, "Didn't you say it a long time ago?" You'll always be Daddy's baby. ”
"Then why are you pushing me to someone else?" I looked at my dad stubbornly.
"No," Dad hurriedly explained, "not ............ as you think"
"I don't care what you think, that's what you mean when you say that!" My tone was decisive, "If you're willing to walk the red carpet with me, that's for the best." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't need anyone else at all! ”
"Xin Xin, why are you so stubborn?" Dad rubbed my hair, "Did you misunderstand your Uncle Li?" You can ask Dad if you have any questions, and Dad can explain them to you......"
"I don't need any explanation, I just want to say that I'm a human being, not something that can be sent around." My tone gradually lowered, "If you don't want me, don't give me to anyone......"
"He's not 'just anyone'...... He's ......"
"He's Uncle Li!" I interrupted my father, "Can we stop talking about it, if I'm not mistaken, we talked about it a long time ago and we agreed on it!" ”
"Okay...... Let's not talk about that......" Dad shook his head helplessly.
The car stopped at the entrance of the inpatient department of the nursing home, and I watched Qiao Yichen personally send my father upstairs, and I didn't speak again until I got home. When we got home, the baby was still asleep, so I sent the baby back to the nursery, explained a few words to the nanny and went back to the bedroom.
I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the courtyard outside. It's probably the hottest time of the day, and the sun is white outside, and I'm feeling cold. I slowly squatted down with my arms around my shoulders and rested my chin on my knees.
I heard someone open the bedroom door, and by the sound of footsteps, I could tell it was Qiao Yichen coming in. Qiao Yichen tentatively whispered: "Xin Xin......" I didn't answer, but stubbornly maintained the posture just now. Qiao Yichen walked over slowly and circled me from behind, "Why don't you agree, I thought you weren't in the bedroom." ”
I turned around and threw myself into Qiao Yichen's arms, big tears rolling down. Qiao Yichen held my face and kissed every teardrop carefully, his gentle and affectionate appearance was right in front of my eyes, which made my already fragile emotions collapse instantly: "I'm not Dad's child!" ”
I'm always like this, no matter how big the blow is, I can silently put it in my heart, pretending to be light and light. I just can't stand the gentle and delicate soothing and pity. In fact, I already knew about this for a long time, and I knew it earlier than when my father told me about the sudden change in the Jing family. I remember that it was the same hot summer as it is now, and the results of the high school entrance examination had just come out, and my grades could go to the best high school in Maple City. I happily ran to tell my mother, standing in front of the hidden door, listening to my mother's detailed description of my daily life to the person on the other end of the phone, even the little things like 'I was very happy to receive that figure yesterday'. I started to wonder who my mom was talking to on the phone, and I was stunned when she said, 'Our daughter is so nice and having a good time.'"
I knew that the person on the other end of the line was not my father, because my father was at home, and I told him the results I had just checked when I went upstairs. He's not on the phone, and my dad knows what I do every day, so I don't need my mom to repeat it. I went back to my room in a state of despair, not even thinking about who my mother meant by 'we'. Because I'm not my father's daughter, it's taken over my brain, and I can't think about anything else.
I was not yet 16 years old, but I had learned to be quiet. I started to pay attention to my mom and her 'friend' who could often help me buy limited edition figurines that no one else could buy. There are some things that when you start paying attention, you will find a lot of details that were once overlooked. I soon found out about Limingyuan's existence, and even secretly checked the information and call logs on my mother's phone.
At first, I thought my dad didn't know about it. For a long time, I felt very ashamed, and I couldn't face my dad calmly. So I suddenly decided to go to high school abroad, and I hardly go home except for the Chinese New Year.
Everyone thinks I'm very chic when I travel all over the world, but they don't understand it, I just don't dare to go home......
