Yesterday's rain continued until this morning, the emerald young leaves and budding stamens were quietly bathed in the baptism of the rain, the smoke color was hazy, and there was a little more faint sadness than usual.

After sending Yi Qingchen and the others back on the plane, Brittany's manor suddenly became deserted.

"This is the little girl you adopted?"

Yi Shaojin was lying on the balcony, looking at the tall girl downstairs who was slowly walking from the gate with a small flower umbrella.

"Well, I went to school on the first day today, and I don't know how it went."

"You can really worry about it, her father was killed by Yi Qingchen's grandfather, and her mother was hanged by herself, if you feel that you don't want to go, you can give some money, how can you really raise your own child."

"Nope." Chu Qiao had just put his brother to sleep and lightly put him into the delicate little cradle, "Originally, I planned to let her live in school, but considering that she was not used to many things when she first came to Kyoto, I let her go to school for two days to get used to it." ”

"You're born to worry about your life! One Wen Yi'an also added his own two children not to mention, but now it's better to get another one. ”

Yi Shaojin chattered endlessly.

"Okay, let's go, let's go down and have a look, Yueyue is a good girl."

Chu Qiao whispered a few words to the confinement sister-in-law who was waiting on the side, and then he and Yi Shaojin quietly walked out of the door of the baby's room.

When the two went downstairs, Lin Yueyue was sitting in the living room doing her homework, with two plates of small snacks and a glass of steaming milk on the small table.

"Yueyue is back."

As soon as she heard Chu Qiao's voice, Lin Yueyue hurriedly stood up and tried her best to be as respectful as Wen Yi'an or Steward Lu did.

"Aunt Chu."

Yi Shaojin beside Chu Qiao obviously didn't look so kind, which made Lin Yueyue feel a little uneasy, and she didn't dare to look up at her, hanging her head low.

"Silly girl, just treat yourself like your own home, you don't have to be so restrained."

"Hmm."

"This is Uncle Yi's sister-in-law, you can call her Aunt Yi." Chu Qiao quietly pinched Yi Shaojin, who was a little absent-minded, and the latter snorted, glared at her and walked straight to the sofa.

"Hello Aunt Yi."

"Hello."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, not to mention such a polite little girl, in fact, Yi Shaojin doesn't dislike Lin Yueyue, it's just that adopting a child is a lot more responsibility after all, Chu Qiao is only in his early twenties, and he still has two little babies to take care of, so it is inevitable that he will be overwhelmed.

"How's it going at school today? Do your classmates get along well? ”

Lin Yueyue pursed her lips and said softly, "Well, they are all very good. ”

In fact, her high-end clothes made her very popular among her classmates, Chu Qiao gave her a lot of pocket money, and also bought her the latest iPhone, her generosity won the love of most people, she was very satisfied with her performance in school today, and she also liked the reaction of her classmates to her, it feels so good, it feels good to be rich.

"Aunt Chu, I want to live on campus from tomorrow, is it okay?"

"Of course, I'm really happy that you can adapt to your new life so quickly." Chu Qiao smiled and stroked her head, "You do your homework first, and I'll ask the maid to help you pack your luggage." ”

"No need Aunt Chu, I'll clean it up myself."

Chu Qiao thought about it, Lin Yueyue was now in adolescence, and it was inevitable that she would be a little shy, so she said: "That's okay, you can clean it up yourself, if you still lack anything, tell Steward Lu, and he will help you arrange it." ”

"Well, thank you, Aunt Chu."

"Mr. Chu, I'm a little eyebrow-raising."

Wen Yi'an, who hadn't shown up at the manor since returning from the airport, suddenly came in the door, and when he saw Chu Qiao, an unconscious smile appeared on his cold face.

"Oh? So fast? ”

Chu Qiao was suddenly in a good mood, and even Yi Shaojin on the side suddenly came to his senses.

"Let's go, say in the study!"

"No need, I'll take you to a place now, Sun Xiang is already there."

"That's fine."

Chu Qiao explained a few words to Steward Lu, and then got into Wen Yi'an's car with Yi Shaojin.

The black sedan sped all the way, crushing the stagnant water on the road and causing countless splashes.

In an abandoned old factory, Chu Qiao saw Manager Wei and his wife who worked in the Q Hotel for the second time, but at this time, the two of them were tied to the wall pillars by Wuhuada, their clothes were stripped of themselves, and Sun Xiang was holding a red-hot iron tong in his hand.

"Say! Where are those three people now, did Chu Yun send you! ”

"Grandma, don't be scared, as soon as this thing gets wet, it will become barbecue!" Manager Wei couldn't care about his naked status at this time, and couldn't help trembling, because of fear, his slightly obese face turned pale.

"Mr. Chu!"

As soon as they saw Chu Qiaowei, Manager Wei and Sun Xiang almost said in unison.

"How did you find out?"

Chu Qiao nodded at Sun Xiang and asked Wen Yi'an beside him in a low voice.

"The surnamed Wei received a phone call, the other party used voice changing software, and our people have been monitoring it, so they recorded this conversation and restored the voice."

Wen Yi'an called up a recording from his mobile phone while he was talking and played it in front of everyone.

"Remember to get up early tomorrow morning to take out the trash, the bins at your doorstep are full." This is exactly what Wen Yi'an said, the voice that has been processed by voice change, and it can vaguely be heard as a woman's voice.

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, if you still have garbage to take out at home in the future, feel free to find me, I'm unemployed now and pointing to this to support my family."

Manager Wei heard his voice in the recording, trembled obviously, and hurriedly begged: "It's not like this, it's not like this, Mr. Chu, listen to my explanation!" ”

Chu Qiao smiled and raised his index finger at him and made a booing motion.

The female voice said, "Well, you can rest assured of this, but you have to remember to take out the garbage only with your hands and not your mouth, otherwise, the troubled mouth will disappear from your face!" ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, absolutely not, I'm a dumb person."

……

Chu Qiao took the tongs in Sun Xiang's hand, and gently rubbed it twice on the wire that bound Manager Wei, and the wire was instantly scalded red, and white smoke quickly rose from the place where the skin and flesh were tightly strangled, and it was scalded black after a while.

She was playing with pleasure, and she didn't mean to ask questions.

"It's like a little vest."

She playfully raised the tongs and blew it, "Tell me, what is the waitress called Zhang Lulu?" ”

Although all the evidence shows how innocent this Zhang Lulu is, the woman's self-consciousness still makes her suspicious of her all the time.

Manager Wei shook his head hurriedly, "I really don't know what her situation is, the task given to me by the other party is to let the box be delivered to the engagement banquet safe and sound, as for the rest, I really don't know anything......

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, those three people will be found by us sooner or later, as for Chu Yun, since you can't tell who instructed you, then I can only count this matter on her head, anyway, it doesn't matter if she has lice or not."

"Mr. Chu, it's not that I don't say it, I really don't know, you heard it, every time the other party calls me, it's anonymous, not to mention that it will let me know her true identity!"

Manager Wei's voice was already crying, and his wife kept crying because she felt sorry for her husband, whimpering and upsetting.

"Don't howl, if you howl again, I'll make you dumb first!"

Yi Shaojin didn't rest well last night, so he was naturally more irritable at this time, and he was scared to silence the other party as soon as he made a sound.

"Do you know what I hate most in my life?"

Chu Qiao handed the tongs back to Sun Xiang, who stuffed it back into the furnace to burn.

Seeing that Manager Wei shook her head vigorously, she sneered and pulled the corners of her mouth, "What I hate most in my life is betrayal, do you know, it doesn't matter whether you want to say it anymore, or even if you say it, you can't save you, you made such a thing on my territory, and sent such a 'big gift' at our family's engagement banquet, you say, how can I repay you?" ”

"Don't, don't, Mr. Chu!"

Manager Wei instinctively wanted to go backwards, but his body was tied to the pillar and couldn't move at all, and his mouth kept pleading, and his body trembled even more.

"You let my husband go, he is innocent, I forced him to do these things, I was blinded by my desire for money to kill me!"

"Do you think you're still alive?"

Chu Qiao beckoned to Wen Yi'an, directly reached into his pocket and took out a handkerchief, and wiped the black stain on his hand that had just been stained from the tongs in disgust.

"I could have saved your life, but since you don't cherish it so much, forget it, Miss Sun." She nodded at Sun Xiang, "I'll leave it to you to deal with it yourself, he is no longer an employee of my Q Hotel, you don't have to care about my face." ”

"Okay."

Sun Xiang grabbed the red-burned tongs again, and walked towards Manager Wei and his wife step by step, the white smoke tongs were a little dazzling, and it was thrilling to watch.

"Mr. Chu! Don't go, I say, I say! ”

Chu Qiao turned his head and hooked his lips and smiled, "It's late." ”

When she turned around again, there was a sudden heart-rending scream behind her, followed by one after another.

She paused, but finally didn't look back.

Yi Shaojin was puzzled and followed Chu Qiao into the car, "I left without getting any clues, wouldn't we come for nothing?" If he wanted to say it, why didn't he wait for him to say it? ”

"He didn't know, and he told us what he said."

"How are you so sure?" Yi Shaojin became more and more puzzled.

The car slowly drove out of the abandoned old factory, and after a while, it saw the light of day again, Chu Qiao opened the car window, breathed in the fresh air in the rain, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

"If he knew that he had said it a long time ago, this couple is not a person who will keep the confidentiality for his employer, after all, his own life is the most important thing, not to mention that you also heard that recording just now, the other party is obviously very wary of the surname Wei, why should we waste time there?"

"So, we're going to waste time in another place."

Chu Qiao looked at Yi Shaojin with a smile, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Yi'an, has there been any recent movement on the treasure island?"

"It's very quiet, neither Chu Yun nor Su Wenlan has contacted our people in Kyoto." Wen Yi'an said respectfully: "Jiang Shaoxiu has already flown to London this morning, and there are only those two women left here, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of excitement next." ”

"That's right, the storm will be over for a while, let's wait and see."

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, because of Manager Wei's departure, I have been promoted again."

"Who?"

Wen Yi'an smiled shyly, "Zhang Lulu." ”

Chu Qiao hooked the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully, "With you, I really save a lot of trouble." ”

"Actually, I have found the whereabouts of those three people."

Wen Yi'an's words blew up Yi Shaojin, who was sitting and taking a nap, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Ah, she is almost sure that the three people who kidnapped Sun Xiang's son and the person who gave her head at the engagement banquet are definitely the same group, and this group of people should have the best chance to get in touch with the mastermind behind the scenes!

Just let her find out, and you have to skin them! He dared to ruin her engagement party, so that they would regret that his mother gave birth to him!

Chu Qiao patted the back of Yi Shaojin's hand and signaled her to be calm.

"Ann must have a reason for doing this."

Wen Yi'an found a relatively open place to stop the car, took out a stack of photos from the briefcase and handed them to Chu Qiao, "This is what our people just photographed, these people are still in Kyoto City, look at it in a short time, they shouldn't be leaving, it is estimated that they will find a chance to do something more, so I think as long as they are kept, the person behind the scenes will definitely contact them again, as for Sun Xiang, I don't plan to tell her for the time being, she is now blinded by hatred and has completely lost her mind, It's not a good thing for us, and it might be a bad thing. ”

"Well, well done, keep staring at them."

"Mr. Chu, if Sun Xiang goes to the manor to look for you recently, it's better for you to pay attention."

Wen Yi'an's concerns are not groundless, Sun Xiang's son's tragic death is not unrelated to Chu Qiao, but now Chu Qiao's family is safe and sound, and it will inevitably make people jealous, jealousy has always been a poisonous snake of hatred, and a bite will kill you.

"What Yi'an said is right, this is also what I want to say, and it is indispensable to guard against others."

Yi Shaojin hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry, you guys, I know what I know."

Chu Qiao has known Sun Xiang for so long, how could he not understand her, she is indeed a little different today.

"Let's go to the Q Hotel, I heard that there is a new chef with three Michelin stars, let's go back to the guinea pig to taste what it tastes like."

"Okay."

Wen Yi'an restarted the car and turned around and drove towards the city center.

"Why don't you call the little girl you adopted?" Yi Shaojin crossed his arms and teased her playfully.

"Please go to the word adoption, at most people will live in our house temporarily, the little girl is pitiful, what if she hears too much?"

"Yi'an, look at your family Mr. Chu, this warm-hearted person is about to catch up with the aunt of the neighborhood committee."

"Mr. Chu is originally a kind person."

This is Wen Yi'an's heart, if it weren't for Chu Qiao's kindness, I'm afraid he would never meet her in his life.

He was sincerely grateful for her kindness.

……

The rain outside the window was finely and densely placed on the spotless windowpane, and after converging into a large droplet, it slowly slid downward.

Lin Yueyue lay quietly on the windowsill and took several photos of her luxurious bedroom to share with her circle of friends, which attracted many likes and comments from her classmates after a while.

[Yueyue, your home is so beautiful! ] 】

[Local tyrants, ask for support. 】

[When can you invite me to your house for a seat, how about a party on the weekend?] 】

……

She triumphantly tugged at the corners of her lips and deleted the photos along with the comments.

After refreshing it a few times, there was suddenly an extra message in the circle of friends, it was from Chu Qiao, in the photo, she and Wen Yi'an and Yi Shaojin were sitting around an extremely elegant European-style long dining table, and there were dozens of dazzling dishes.

Her original good mood suddenly dissipated without a trace.

I thought they were going out to run errands just now, but who would have thought that they would go to a big meal and leave her at home alone, is this disgusting her?

Especially when she zoomed in on the photo, she saw the LOGO printed with the logo of the Q Hotel on the tableware, and her face was even more gloomy.

I heard from my classmates that this is the world's top hotel chain, a landmark building in Kyoto, this high-end place, they didn't take her there!

"Miss Yueyue, dinner is ready."

Outside the door, Steward Lu's flat voice suddenly came.

She got up a little impatiently, "Got it, let's come down." ”

When she opened the door, she still had that humble and polite smile on her face, "Grandpa Lu, Aunt Chu, aren't they coming back for dinner?" ”

"Madame just called and said she wouldn't be coming back for dinner tonight."

"Oh."

Steward Lu heard about Lin Yueyue's life experience from Chu Qiao, and couldn't help but sympathize with this girl, seeing that she was a little depressed, he comforted her: "Madame has a party at night, I asked the kitchen to help you prepare a lot of things you like to eat." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu." Lin Yueyue secretly sneered twice in her heart.

Say that there is entertainment, but three people ran out to have a big meal, who rarely cooks the food, going to the Q Hotel to eat is the most face-saving thing!

By the time Chu Qiao and the others returned to Brittany Manor, it was already dark.

As soon as Steward Lu saw Chu Qiao enter the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the coat and handbag she handed over.

"Where's Yueyue?"

"Miss Yueyue is doing her homework in the room at this moment, the little girl is probably afraid of being lonely, and she hasn't eaten much at dinner when you are not there."

"It's okay, I've brought her some snacks."

Wen Yi'an was about to hand the snack box in his hand to Steward Lu and ask him to send it to Lin Yueyue, but was picked up by Chu Qiao, "I'll go, she will live on campus from tomorrow, I'll ask if there's anything missing, by the way, did I let you get the card?" ”

Wen Yi'an hurriedly took out an ID card and a bank card from his briefcase and handed them to Chu Qiao.

"One hundred thousand?"

"You're going crazy!" Yi Shaojin snatched the bank card away.

Don't even think about it, this must be for that Lin Yueyue.

"Five thousand."

"Five thousand?" Chu Qiao frowned puzzled, "What else can you do with five thousand yuan this year?" ”

"The living expenses of other people's children living in schools are about 3,000 a month, including food, clothing, and transportation, and you have already taken care of her daily necessities, and these 5,000 are just meals and bus fares, how are they enough, I still say that, I can't be arrogant."

"That's it, what do you think about 100,000?" Yi Shaojin glanced at her unhappily, "Although it's nothing for you to spoil your children, it's right for girls to be rich, but you can't step from hell to heaven in one step, the difference is too big, it's not necessarily a good thing, you have to take it step by step." ”

Chu Qiao smiled and looked at the bitter two, "You two are in unison, I just don't have any concept of money." ”

"It's all Yi Qingchen's habit!"

"It's all Mr. Yi's used to it!"

"Okay, don't stare at me like that, I know, in the future, all the affairs of Yueyue will be handled by Yi'an Oba, okay?" She pulled back the bank card from Yi Shaojin's hand with a flattering smile, "I'll go upstairs to bring her snacks first, and you two will do your best." ”

"Yueyue."

Chu Qiao was carrying a snack box in one hand and the ID card and bank card that Wen Yi'an had just handled for Lin Yueyue in the other, so he could only bang his head against the door.

"Aunt Chu, you're back."

"Well, here, this is the snack I brought back for you, it tastes good."

She put the snack box on Lin Yueyue's desk, "Everything is sorted out?" ”

"Well, it's all sorted out."

"Really good, Uncle Wen helped you get an ID card and a bank card, and your aunt will call your card every month for living expenses in the future, if it's not enough, tell your aunt."

Lin Yueyue stood there embarrassedly, reaching out to take her ID card but didn't take her bank card.

"No need Aunt Chu, you have already helped me a lot, I told my classmates yesterday that they had a very good part-time job and would introduce me to it when the time comes, and I haven't used the pocket money you gave me this morning, it's enough."

"Well, take it, you're just a freshman in high school now, it's the time when you need to work and study, don't think about anything else, when you go to college, if you want to do a part-time job to experience your aunt, you won't object, but not now."

Chu Qiao stuffed the bank card back into her hand, "Study hard, I believe your mother and father can also feel comforted when they see you getting ahead under Jiuquan." ”

Lin Yueyue lowered her eyes suddenly, and the hand holding the bank card was clenched tightly.

Why, why did she mention her parents in front of her, she had tried so hard to forget them, so hard to tell herself that she had been the daughter of this manor since she was born, why!

"I'm sorry, Yueyue....." Chu Qiao saw that she suddenly stopped talking, and only thought that she had mentioned the child's sadness, "Auntie didn't mean it." ”

"It's okay, Auntie, you're right, I'll work hard." She must become a human being!

The phone in his pocket rang suddenly.

Chu Qiao took it out and took a look, and when he saw that it was Yi Qingchen, his eyes suddenly became extremely gentle.

"Arrived?"

"Well, just got off the plane, and now I'm in the car."

"It's good for you to go, take the big guys away, and the house is deserted."

There was a bit of anger in his lazy tone, and the man on the other end of the phone laughed in his voice, "My silly bride, you can come to London as soon as Grandpa's birthday party is over." ”

"Well, I know, I just miss you a little." Although Yi Qingchen only left the house in the morning, in Chu Qiao's heart, it seemed that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he was all about doing something occasionally.
