Chapter Twenty-Seven: Am I Old?
But Wu Shuhua immediately moved over, "What clothes did you buy today?" You see, you are friends with our family Junbei, there is such a big shopping mall here, it is fate that we can meet, is it okay for Auntie to help you pay the bill today? ”
"Ah...... Aunt? ”
"That's right, you and Junbei are friends, of course you have to call me aunt!" Wu Shuhua doesn't treat herself as an outsider at all, "Speaking of which, my two sons are not intimate, and they don't even have anyone to talk to me ...... Qiao Ran, have you eaten? I'm a little hungry, can you come with me for something to eat? ”
This is almost a set, not to mention Qiao Ran, even Chu Junbei can't stand it.
pressed the corner of his forehead, and pressed the beating green tendons honestly, Chu Junbei said: "Mom! ”
He originally wanted to remind Wu Shuhua not to go too far, and Wu Shuhua also understood what he meant, but he deliberately misinterpreted it, and immediately looked at him excitedly: "You're hungry too, aren't you?" Then we'll go to dinner together. Hurry up and check out, what are you still doing? ”
Chu Junbei: "......"
He's not hungry!
However, if you eat with Qiao Ran, it doesn't matter.
This meal, Qiao Ran didn't eat steadily.
Wu Shuhua asked her a lot of questions, including the situation at home, what kind of family members she has, where she goes to school now, what she likes to do, etc., etc., Chu Junbei can't stop her with a plate of dishes.
Of course, Qiao Ran also said it honestly, fortunately, even if Wu Shuhua knew that she grew up in a single-parent family, and her family background was not good, she didn't look down on her, but she just sighed that their mother and daughter must have had a hard time for so many years.
This made Qiao Ran's heart surge with a warm current.
After eating, Wu Shuhua asked Chu Junbei to send Qiao Ran home, Qiao Ran wanted to refuse, but Chu Junbei had already driven the car over, so she had to get in the car.
It wasn't until the car started that Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the seat belt and said, "Your mother is too enthusiastic." ”
Chu Junbei didn't speak, and the corners of his lips had a shallow arc.
However, the arc was too shallow, so Qiao Ran didn't notice it, but asked another thing: "Master Bei, why did you say you knew me just now?" ”
Isn't it an underground lover? Shouldn't that be kept secret from others?
What's more, that person is Chu Junbei's own mother!
Chu Junbei glanced at her lightly, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "My mother is very smart, she can't hide it from him." ”
In fact, Chu Junbei has always believed that his IQ follows his father.
And he didn't know what was going on just now, he just didn't want to deny it, he just wanted Wu Shuhua to know that this girl was the girl he mentioned at home last time.
The same ghost sent the gods, and he didn't know why.
Qiao Ran took his words seriously, and really thought that it was because Wu Shuhua was too smart that her lies would be seen through, so she didn't think about anything else, but nodded and praised very sincerely: "Your mother is so good, so righteous!" ”
After a pause, she asked one of the things she was most concerned about: "Do I need to pay back the money for that dress?" ”
Chu Junbei's fingertips knocked silently on the steering wheel, "With a million." ”
Qiao Ran's neck immediately stiffened: "No! ”
"Why not?" Chu Junbei turned his head to look at her, as if he was a little dissatisfied, "I am a creditor." ”
Qiao Ran: "......"
You are a creditor, you have to be reasonable!
"Master Bei, it's not good for you to be like this." Qiao Ran muttered, "Manly husband, be graceful." ”
Chu Junbei nodded, thinking deeply: "It makes sense." ”
After a while, he added: "Then I will give you some interest." ”
Qiao Ran: "!! ”
And interest?
She collapsed in her chair in an instant, and she had nothing to love.
Looking at her like this, Chu Junbei felt interesting: "What's wrong?" ”
"Not really." Qiao Ran held her seat belt with both hands, and her voice was muffled.
Suddenly remembering how Wu Shuhua was so enthusiastic about herself just now, she remembered another thing, and turned her head to look at Chu Junbei, "Master Bei, could your mother misunderstand something?" Shall we explain? ”
Chu Junbei glanced at her and didn't answer, but asked an unrelated question: "Am I old?" ”
Qiao Ran blinked, completely unable to figure out why he could ask this, "Huh? I thought it was a good opportunity to make a fool of myself, and if I shot it well, I might be able to get the other party to waive the interest, so I began to admire:
"How so? Beiye is heroic, and Yushu is in the wind, it's ......."
"Then it's going to be called differently." Chu Junbei interrupted lightly.
Qiao Ran felt that she was choked and swallowed her saliva, "Okay, Mr. Chu." ”
Chu Junbei was a little helpless.
Why doesn't this woman open her mind?
But he didn't care so much, at least it sounded much better than "Beiye".
was interrupted by him like this, Qiao Ran didn't ask Wu Shuhua any more questions, and neither of them spoke again.
When she arrived downstairs at Qiao Ran, Chu Junbei saw that Qiao Ran had already loosened her seat belt, so he asked her, "What are you buying dresses for?" ”
"There's a party." Qiao Ran gave an answer very casually, she felt that this was her own business, and there was no need to explain it to Chu Junbei.
opened the car door and got out of the car, Qiao Ran bent down very obediently and waved his hand, "Goodbye, Mr. Chu." ”
Chu Junbei swallowed.
his Mr. Chu!
However, the expression on this person's face was well controlled, and he was obviously very unhappy, but he didn't show anything.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Ruiyu's banquet arrived.
Xu Chengxiang said that if he let Qiao Ran be his female companion, he would take care of it very well, such as on the day of the banquet, he personally drove over to pick him up.
Qiao Ran's hairstyle was given to her by Qiao Pingping that day, and Qiao Pingping's skills also came in handy at this time, when she was doing her hair, she kept asking Qiao Ran if she had a date, and Qiao Ran said no.
Qiao Pingping snorted, "Not as beautiful as you?" Willing to spend so much money to buy clothes for yourself? ”
As he spoke, he bumped Qiao Ran's shoulder, and said, "Come, tell my mother, do you have a boyfriend?" ”
Without waiting for Qiao Ran to answer, she became nervous again, "Could it be the Pei Hao from last time?" ”
"......" Qiao Ran felt that her mother's imagination was really getting richer and richer, "No, it's really not dating, and I don't have a boyfriend." ”
Originally, Qiao Pingping believed it.
But when she saw the BMW parked downstairs, Qiao Pingping's eyes immediately widened again, "That's here to pick you up?" ”
"Hmm." Qiao Ran nodded and took her bag.
Qiao Pingping smiled, "You still say it's not a boyfriend?" ”
"It's really not, it's just a party, I'll go there." Before going out, Qiao Ran glanced back and instructed fiercely, "Don't go to the bar, otherwise I won't pick you up when you're drunk!" ”
Qiao Pingping smiled kindly, but as soon as the door closed, she went back to her room to change her clothes.
Anyway, Qiao Ran said that every time, but in fact, didn't she pick her up when she came back?
Her daughter is really obedient and sensible, Qiao Pingping can't help but be secretly proud.
Qiao Ran usually dresses very ordinarily at school, and she doesn't have extra money to help herself, but she has a feeling of "clear water out of hibiscus", and Xu Chengxiang has always felt good-looking.
But the Qiao Ran I saw today was completely different from before.
She curled her hair and wore light makeup on her face, just slightly retouched, not exaggerated, but with that lilac dress, there was a feeling of floating out of the dust.
Qiao Ran got into the car for a while, and when she saw that Xu Chengxiang was still staring at herself, she was a little uncomfortable, looked down at the clothes on her body, and took a picture in the reversing mirror, and asked him, "What's wrong?" I'm ...... like this Isn't it weird? ”
She is just a trick in the crew, and even if she wears makeup, she is not wearing any normal makeup, so she is not very used to a look like today.
was recalled by Qiao Ran's words, Xu Chengxiang hurriedly shook his head, "No, how can it be?" ”
With his hands on the steering wheel, a light red appeared on his face, and he whispered, "You ...... today." It's beautiful. ”
Hearing Xu Chengxiang say this, Qiao Ran was happy, revealing a standard eight-toothed smile, "Thank you." ”
Since Xu Chengxiang said that he was good-looking, then Xie Ruiyu at least wouldn't feel bad, right?
When they arrived, the banquet had not yet started, and Qiao Ran, as Xu Chengxiang's female companion, appeared holding his hand.
are all people in the circle, Xu Chengxiang is no stranger, many people he can call by name, say hello one by one, someone questions Qiao Ran, he is afraid of offending, he only says that he is his friend, and others will naturally praise Qiao Ran, such as how beautiful she is, how good her temperament is, and so on.
Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed to be praised, and quietly asked Xu Chengxiang: "These people are so skilled in flattery." ”
"Not really." Xu Chengxiang looked at Qiao Ran, "You are indeed beautiful, and your temperament is also very good." ”
In fact, when they first met, Xu Chengxiang felt that Qiao Ran's temperament did not look like a poor girl.
It was an amazing feeling, and he couldn't say a word.
Xu Chengxiang was chatting with others, while Qiao Ran was looking around, looking for Xie Ruiyu.
She hadn't seen Xie Ruiyu for a year.
After a while, she suddenly heard someone shouting "Xie Ruiyu is here", she looked over to the other side of the voice, and sure enough, she saw the male protagonist in a tuxedo.
The man's facial features are exquisite, and he only stands there like a natural protagonist, with a shallow smile on his face, and when others greet him, he will respond one by one, although he is the son of a nobleman, but he is not a little cold and alienated.
Qiao Ran couldn't help but think of the first time she and Xie Ruiyu met.
At that time, she had just become an actress, she was wearing a lot of makeup that day, and it was raining when she got out of the play, and the cosmetics used by the crew for the actors were just like that, her makeup was drenched by the rain, and it was all spent immediately, she hurriedly ran to a tree, and while waiting for the rain to stop, she wanted to take a tissue from her bag to wipe her face.
However, before her hand could reach into her bag, there was an extra umbrella in front of her.
The man held the handle of the umbrella in his hand, handed it to her, and said, "Come, this is for you." ”
When she looked up, all she saw was a warm, handsome face with a smile.
