Winter nights are always exceptionally lonely, Chu Qiao stood quietly at the window and looked up at the dark sky, like a deep eye, which has the power to suck people's souls into it at any time.

"Why did you wake up again, haven't you already fallen asleep?"

When Yi Qingchen pushed the door in, she saw such a picture, a young girl wearing a white ankle-length nightdress standing by the window, the pair of white jade feet sunk into the dusty wool carpet, the moonlight outside the window just hit her slightly raised cheeks, if she had a pair of wings, it was an elf wandering in the moonlit night.

She looked back in astonishment, tears stung his eyes.

"Still no news?"

This is a fact, Yi Qingchen can only shake his head, bend down and pick her up, "Even if there is heating in the house, don't go barefoot, what if it freezes?" ”

"I just had a nightmare." She snuggled in his arms, like a fragile child, "I dreamed of Shaojin ...... her"

I dreamed that Shaojin fell from such a high cliff.

Even if she thinks about it now, she still has lingering palpitations, this dream is too real.

But she suddenly didn't know how to tell Yi Qingchen such a terrible dream.

He pursed his lips, but he still held back.

"Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, you are too nervous to be like this."

Yi Qingchen gently laid her on the bed, lay down beside her, turned around and held her little hand into the palm of her hand.

"You say, should we tell Shaoqing about this? He called me in the afternoon, and I thought he would go crazy if there was no more news of Shaojin. ”

"It's better to hide it for the time being, it shouldn't be more than tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be news, you are good, go to bed early, the babies are sleepy, Mommy needs to rest."

"Hmm."

Chu Qiao closed his eyes obediently, but his mind was still full of the picture of Yi Shaojin falling off the cliff in the dream just now, and he couldn't get rid of it.

This night was particularly difficult.

The direct result of the previous night's insomnia was a splitting headache after waking up the next day, the whole person was groggy, and the lower eyelid was bruised.

Yi Qingchen was so worried, but persuasion was to no avail, so he could only keep calling all parties and asking them to send more people out, so as to get the news of Yi Shaojin in the shortest possible time.

"Little Joe, your phone keeps ringing."

Yi Qingchen walked into the living room, but saw Chu Qiao lazily leaning on the sofa in a daze, and the mobile phone on the coffee table kept singing, but she didn't react at all.

"Huh? Oh. ”

She picked up the phone in a daze.

"If Mr. Chu is bored at this time, you might as well go and take a look at the hot search headlines, it will definitely satisfy you, but I can't guarantee that the news will not be there in a few minutes."

It was obviously Sun Xiang's voice, but Chu Qiao was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

She rubbed her temples wearily, "Well, got it. ”

After hanging up the phone, I quickly opened the tablet, and the hot search was in the same position as so many news items for her at that time, and it was such an eye-catching headline: For fame and fortune, killing my sister and cousin, Stuart's new aunt's wife's unscrupulous past.

Chu Qiao handed the tablet to Yi Qingchen, who just glanced at it lightly and put it on the coffee table.

"Your grandfather is really a good means, since Song Wan returned to China, there has been no movement on the side of the Public Security Bureau, and sure enough, there is money that can make ghosts push ghosts, and he has the power to make ghosts push ghosts."

"You have wronged him this time, if Song Wan goes in again, then who will help us?"

"It won't be your ......"

Yi Qingchen smiled noncommittally.

"How do I feel like this matter has been your trick from start to finish?" Chu Qiao pondered carefully, "First Song Wan was arrested and tortured in prison, but you rarely punished her destructively, and then grandpa, he actually proposed to let Song Wan and Song's mother attend Song's father's funeral, and then Song Wan inexplicably escaped from the Song family, and then she actually went to Dick's place safe and sound, and then she became grandpa's new love...... One by one, how do I feel like it's connected in series, you honestly, did you arrange it early in the morning? ”

Chu Qiao looked at him suspiciously, staring motionlessly, as if he wanted to see something from his deep eyes.

Yi Qingchen didn't answer her directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"I think? I think this must be your trick, your brain is like the eighteen bends of the mountain road, a bunch of flowers, and it would not be strange if this was your idea. "Don't say anything else, just say that my grandfather is good, although he looks kind and kind, but the old man can be hard-hearted, how can he be so kind and deliberately vouch for the mother and daughter of the Song family to come out of prison to attend Song's father's funeral.

It's not scientific!

"Maybe it was really my order to dream back in the middle of the night one night, and I forgot it."

"Yi Qingchen?"

"My dear wife, what do you command?"

Chu Qiao glanced at the mobile phone he was resting on the table, "Shaoqing is looking for you, let's answer the phone first." ”

As soon as the phone was connected, Yi Shaoqing's anxious voice came out of the phone.

"Qingchen, what about Shaojin? What the hell happened to her! ”

Yi Qingchen glanced at Chu Qiao and was about to answer.

Yi Shaoqing said again: "Don't try to make up words to deceive me, Li Keli called me just now, Shaojin is gone, right?" ”

"Yes."

On the other end of the phone, there was a rush of busy tones.

After a while, the brakes of the car outside the house sounded sharply, and Yi Shaoqing walked in quickly, the judge's robe on his body didn't even have time to be changed, and the corners of the robe were brought up from time to time with the hurried footsteps.

"What's going on? What the hell happened to her! ”

"What did Khali tell you?" Yi Qingchen asked unhurriedly.

"She still has the reason to speak, she just kept howling on the other end of the phone, saying that Shaojin was gone, it seemed that the two of them went to the hospital for a check-up together, but when she came down a series of examinations, she found that Yi Shaojin was not in the hospital, and the mobile phone was turned off, and she didn't know the way home, so she could only wait for Shaojin to find her in the hospital, and then wouldn't it be your people who found her?"

"Well, that's pretty much it." Coupled with the distress call that Yi Shaojin later made to Chu Qiao, it was obvious that she was taken away.

Looking at Yi Qingchen's expression, you can know that there is no news from the United States.

Yi Shaoqing was anxious, took off the judge's robe on his body and handed it to Steward Lu on the side, "Help me book a ticket to New York in the near future." ”

"Yes, young master."

"Then I'll arrange it."

Yi Qingchen picked up his mobile phone again and called Xiao Jin, telling him that Yi Shaoqing was going to the United States at this time.

"I'm really worried that Shaoqing will be sensible."

Seeing Yi Shaoqing hurriedly coming and going, Chu Qiao's brows furrowed deeply.

Although he is usually a very stable person, when something happens to his beloved, no one dares to guarantee what kind of reaction he will make.

"Don't worry, with Xiao Jin by his side, he will be optimistic about him."

There is no news from the United States for a day, and Chu Qiao can't be down-to-earth here for a day, and she naturally knows that her state is very bad for the baby, but this kind of uneasiness that rises from the blood is not something she can control at all.

Because of the hot search headlines two days ago, Song Wan was already very busy, and in the face of the public's doubts, she was naturally worried that her perfect image would be ruined again.

After sending people to falsify a lot of evidence one after another, she finally held a grand press conference on the incident, but she herself did not attend, at the same time as the press conference, she was doing charity in a poor mountainous area hundreds of kilometers away, and her spokesman was very thoughtful to broadcast a series of documentaries in front of the media present.

"Sure enough, it has a means, and black can be said to be white." Sun Xiang complained unhappily on the other end of the phone: "I think she is more fearless." ”

"It's still early, and when she is pregnant, this scene will be lively."

Chu Qiao casually fiddled with the clump of white lilies in front of him, and the sharp scissors shuttled lightly between the branches and leaves.

No matter how lush the branches and leaves grow, the flower admirers will still prune if they don't look good, and all this is all in the flower admirers, not in the flowers.

"She's pregnant? The old man...... I mean, old Mr. Stuart still has that ability? ”

When Chu Qiao heard this, he immediately chuckled, "Who told you that it must be grandpa's seed?" Wouldn't it be more interesting if it belonged to someone else? ”

Sun Xiang reacted suddenly, and smiled even more, "I think with Mr. Chu's ingenuity, the two of us will definitely be able to laugh to the end unharmed." ”

"I think so too."

Chu Qiao had just put down his mobile phone when Cao Yin walked in from the gate accompanied by a maid.

"Second aunt."

She hurriedly put down the scissors in her hand, smiled and got up to meet them.

She still remembers the events of Christmas Eve, and I'm afraid Cao Yin didn't come to her to gossip at this time.

"Girl, tell me honestly, where did our Shaoxuan go? He hasn't been at the manor since Christmas Eve, has he? This stinky boy, you don't have to help him hide it from me, I'll call and ask! ”

"Second Aunt ......"

The embarrassment of being recognized would quietly climb up her cheeks, and Chu Qiao smiled and served tea to Cao Yin with his own hands.

"I know that this girl of yours is also kind, I know the temper of that stinky boy in our family, if you don't help him, I guess he should say that you are not good again."

She still remembers Chen Yunzhi's things clearly, Yi Shaoxuan is a very tenacious person, and there is no way to tell him clearly.

The reason why Chu Qiao told this lie was because she didn't want their mother and son to have a conflict, she was caught in the middle and it was difficult to be a person, so she naturally couldn't blame it.

"Second aunt, I'm sorry, I lied to you about this."

"Silly girl, where can I blame you? If it were me, I would do the same. Cao Yin smiled thoughtfully, paused and said, "But Xiao Qiao, I really need your help here." ”

"Second aunt, you said, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

"Simple, of course you can do it."

Looking at the smile on Cao Yin's face, Chu Qiao inexplicably felt a bad omen in his heart.

"Didn't An Le help Yijun hold a blind date banquet before, although it was smashed later, but I think a few girls are still good, so I want to ......"

"......" doesn't want her to be a lobbyist!

She can't do this, Yi Shaoxuan's guy shaft is a well-known thing, and besides, she is sorry for the big-bellied Meiluo by doing this!

"Don't think about it, the second aunt won't embarrass you, I've already called Shaoxuan, he will come back this Saturday, when the time comes, you come forward to ask him to go to any café for afternoon tea, I'll take the girl over again, pretend to meet by chance, you know, if I let him go, he will definitely not listen to me obediently, this kid has now launched a sophisticated defense system against me, I can't help it."

If there was no Mei Luo, she could help with this, but now in this situation, she went to trick Yi Shaoxuan out on a blind date, which was not authentic.

"Little Joe, I know you're going to say yes, right? You are also about to become a parent, the second aunt believes that you must be able to understand my thoughts, I only have a son like Shaoxuan, and I always have to hope that he is good. ”

Cao Yin had already gotten up as he spoke, and he didn't give Chu Qiao any chance to refuse at all, "Then it's decided, this Saturday afternoon, you call me then." ”

Chu Qiao wanted to say something again, but Cao Yin had already taken the maid and left.

Just when Yi Qingchen entered the door, he saw her frowning, so he stroked her brow, "If you frown again, it will become a sand pir." ”

"......" Chu Qiao glared at him angrily, "Have you damaged your wife like this?" ”

"I'm complimenting you on your cuteness."

"Thank you!"

"What kind of embarrassing job did the second aunt send you?"

"How do you know?"

"How could I not know? She has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you are the only one in the family who has the best to talk to, who else can she find if she doesn't look for you? ”

Chu Qiao picked up his phone and took a picture of himself at the screen.

Does she really look like someone who is so good at talking?

"Don't take a picture, you'll make your phone feel inferior." He pulled his phone from her hand, "Mom and Dad will come back next month, so we will move to the old house together until the end of the New Year." ”

At the mention of the Chinese New Year, Chu Qiao couldn't help but think of Yi Shaojin, whose whereabouts are still unknown, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.

"Shaojin still has no news?"

Yi Qingchen nodded silently.

In just a few days, people from all walks of life have turned New York upside down, but there is still no news, he has almost thought about the bad side, but he didn't dare to tell Chu Qiao, for fear of shocking her.

Maybe no news is the best news, at least better than bad news.

Chu Qiao has never been like these days, hoping that time will pass slowly, and then slowly, on the one hand, because of Yi Shaojin, and on the other hand, because she is unwilling to come on Saturday.

Especially when it's really Saturday, when she goes out, she is at a loss.

Yi Qingchen meant to let her not go at all, but Cao Yin came to such a trick at that time, if she didn't go this time, it would be equivalent to lying to her for the second time, so it would be strange if Cao Yin was not angry.

Sitting in the car on the road to a café, she flipped back and forth with her mobile phone from time to time.

What to do?

Don't tell Shaoxuan?

If you don't say it, I'm sorry for Shaoxuan and Meiluo, and if you do, I'm sorry for the second aunt.

She really didn't seem to be so sad in her life.

Just as Chu Qiaosi was thinking and hesitating, the car had slowly stopped at the door of the café.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Yi Shaoxuan sitting by the window beckoning to her from a distance.

"Sister-in-law, why did you remember to ask me and afternoon tea so well? You have limited mobility now, isn't it the same to drink on the estate? ”

When Yi Shaoxuan saw Chu Qiao, he hurriedly got up to greet her.

"It's different...... Different ......"

Chu Qiao was "different" several times, and kept laughing, but he didn't go on.

Yi Shaoxuan quickly reacted.

"It's not my sister-in-law, right?"

"I didn't say oh, I didn't say anything, so are you leaving?"

"No, I'm gone, sister-in-law, you'll be embarrassed." Yi Shaoxuan didn't care about the stall hands, "Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I should pass the time." ”

"Then you have to remember later, don't lose your temper with your mother, in fact, she is doing it for your own good, you can politely refuse that girl, you know?"

Thinking of the mess that Xi Yijun and Wen Yi'an tossed last time, she couldn't help but admonish again.

"Don't worry, can I be as unreliable as Yijun?"

Chu Qiao smiled and picked up the water glass, and before he could open his mouth, his mobile phone rang.

"What's wrong, Ian?"

"Miss Shaojin has found it."

"Really? She's okay, right? She was so excited that she stood up on the spot.

Wen Yi'an could hear the excitement in his words, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

"What happened to her, although she fell off the cliff, but she fell into the lake with a great fortune, but Li Keli died."

"What's going on?" Wasn't Li Keli okay before? Why is Shaojin fine, but Li Keli is dead?

"The specific situation is better to wait for you to go back to Brittany Manor and let Mr. Yi tell you, Mr. Yi ordered something to come down, and I will deal with it later."

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, Wen Yi'an, haven't you forgotten who you are?" As soon as he heard that Yi Shaojin was fine, Chu Qiao's whole person came to life, and he had the strength to joke.

Wen Yi'an smiled softly on the other end of the phone, "Yours, I have always remembered that I am your person, and I will be your person all my life." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it, remember to go back to the manor later."

"Okay, I got it."

Chu Qiao put away the phone, and didn't care whether Cao Yin came or not, picked up his bag and said to Yi Shaoxuan: "I have something urgent to leave first, help me say sorry to your mother later." ”

"yes, okay."

Yi Shaoxuan sent Chu Qiao into the car, and watched the car drive away, then turned around and went back to the café.

"Qingchen, you've found Shaojin, right?"

As soon as Chu Qiao got out of the car, she hurriedly hurried to Zhou, she stuffed her coat and hat bag into Steward Lu's hand as she walked, and grabbed Yi Qingchen and asked: "Yi'an called me just now, you tell me the details, I'm going crazy here." ”

"I was thrown off a cliff, but fortunately, I didn't die."

Fall off a cliff!

So what she dreamed was real? It's incredible!

"Is she okay now? Did it hurt anywhere? ”

"No, no, everything is fine with her, except that she has a bad cold, but in New York she will get the best treatment, and Shaoqing will take care of her, so don't worry."

"Who's that number?" The voice sounded so weak, Yi Shaojin couldn't call her in the water......

"She." Yi Qingchen smiled and shook her head, "It's really a blessing that she fell into the lake from such a high place in the ice and snow and didn't die, she got up from the lake by herself, and finally walked to the roadside supermarket to call you, but she fainted because of physical exhaustion before she could say a word." ”

"It's a blessing, it's a miracle."

Yi Qingchen told it lightly, but Chu Qiao listened to it thrillingly, and kept chanting God bless, Amitabha.

"And what about later? Was someone who saved her? ”

"Of course, someone saved her, but at that time, her wallet fell into the lake, and she didn't have any identity credentials, so she didn't register when she was admitted to the hospital, and it was in the countryside hundreds of kilometers away from New York, so we didn't find her for a while, this girl was frozen by ice water and has been in a daze for a few days with a high fever, until she woke up a few hours ago and called Shaoqing."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I can finally feel at ease."

"I told you a long time ago, she will definitely be fine, and then you have to honestly give me a good meal and sleep, you are such an ignorant mommy in the future, let the babies do the same, huh?"

"No, never again, I will definitely listen to you in the future."

She suddenly felt that her eyes were burning to death, and the tip of her nose was so sour that it seemed to be rubbed into a lemon.

I don't know if it's just because Yi Shaojin was found unharmed, or because of something else.

"The silly girl is going to be a mother, and she is getting more and more emotional." Yi Qingchen reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, "The pregnancy is getting longer and longer, it is inevitable that you will feel difficult, but you have been doing big and small things, you are really hard, you will vent when you are irritable in the future, it's okay to beat me and scold me, don't hold back, I feel distressed." ”

It's better to prevent prenatal depression in advance, otherwise she will be the one who suffers, and he will be the one who is distressed.

"That's right." Chu Qiao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly got up from his arms, "What's the matter with Li Keli?" Ian says she's dead? Aren't you waiting for surgery? It should be that the condition is under control for the time being, how can it be so good and ......?"

"Suicide."

"Why?" finally survived until Shaojin waited for her to go to the United States for treatment, and the relationship between the two of them would definitely get better in the future, how could they think of committing suicide again?

"Li Keli's illness is actually not so serious, the domestic medical records have been falsified, when she committed suicide, it was the day before she found Shaojin, and she left a suicide note, which probably means that she feels sorry for Shaojin, as if Song Meijiao also encouraged her behind her back about going abroad for treatment, and even threatened her to find someone to kill her if she didn't persuade Shaojin to go abroad, but she didn't expect that it was Shaojin who suffered when she went abroad, and it was estimated that she couldn't accept that she 'killed' her own daughter, so she finally broke down."

"You mean this is Song Meijiao's doing?" Chu Qiao raised his eyes in astonishment.

Even if you don't like Shaojin to be with Shaoqing, no matter how you used to be a mother and daughter, how could you be so ruthless!

"Who else do you think there could be but her?" Yi Qingchen handed her his mobile phone, and the picture showed a man wearing a peaked cap, a mask and sunglasses in full armor, "This is captured by the hospital's surveillance video, and soon we will know whether Song Meijiao was wronged." ”
