Qiao Pingping didn't have such worries at all, she was very patient, "You go up first, it's just a few words, and it will be fine soon." ”

Seeing that she was so persistent, Qiao Ran couldn't say anything more, so she had to smile apologetically at Chu Junbei and leave first.

Qiao Pingping kept looking at Qiao Ran's back and didn't take her eyes off for a long time.

Chu Junbei was still sitting in the driver's seat, and he didn't make a sound to disturb Qiao Pingping, knowing that Qiao Pingping called his name, he said calmly: "You say." ”

So Qiao Pingping said: "Over the years, Ran Ran has followed me and suffered a lot, I have been in poor health recently, and I don't know if something will happen, if ...... I mean, if something really happens to me, Mr. Chu, can I ask you to take care of her in the future? ”

Chu Junbei turned his head and looked at the woman sitting in the back seat.

When I saw her for the first time, she was very arrogant and unreasonable, but now she was a little cramped and nervous, and she even looked at herself so carefully.

I don't know if I haven't waited for Chu Junbei's answer for too long, Qiao Pingping has opened her mouth: "Especially the Pei family, if the people of the Pei family bully her, please protect her." ”

In the last three words, she said very softly and humbly, as if pleading: "Is it okay?" ”

Chu Junbei frowned slightly, and after a while, he replied, "Don't worry." ”

Qiao Pingping was really relieved, and even her smile was much more real, "Mr. Chu rest assured, Ranran's identity is worthy of you." ”

Moreover, a person like Chu Junbei would never deliberately say anything to deceive her.

Before getting out of the car, Qiao Pingping said one more thing to Chu Junbei: "I am not in good health, I hope you can help me keep it secret, and don't tell Ran Ran for the time being." ”

She smiled, a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid of Ranran's worries." ”

Chu Junbei nodded and watched Qiao Pingping enter the alley with satisfaction.

His hand rested on the steering wheel, his slightly rough fingertips rubbing gently against the frosted lines of the steering wheel, but his eyes were getting deeper and deeper.

She always felt that something was wrong with Qiao Pingping today.

Chu Junbei felt uneasy, so after separating from Qiao Pingping that day, he asked Secretary Zhang to find someone to follow Qiao Pingping.

A week later, Qiao Pingping left Sioux City.

Knowing the news, Chu Junbei immediately called Qiao Ran, and the phone rang for forty-five seconds, and no one answered until it hung up automatically.

Chu Junbei was not at ease, he didn't even bother to take his coat, so he drove to Qiao Ran's house.

The door of Qiao Ran's house was closed, no matter how Chu Junbei knocked on the door, how he rang the doorbell, how he shouted and shouted, no one opened the door.

Even the neighbors were alarmed, opened the door and asked Chu Junbei, "Young man, what are you doing?" ”

Chu Junbei pointed to the door where no one answered, and asked the neighbor, "What about the people who live here?" ”

He had always been extremely self-contained, but now he spoke hard and anxious, and it was completely questioning.

The neighbors were already a little unhappy when they were so noisy early in the morning, but now when they heard Chu Junbei's tone, they immediately said with a straight face: "How do we know?" You don't live here, do you? Don't make trouble, or we'll call the police! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the door opened.

Chu Junbei turned his head the moment he heard the sound, and saw Qiao Ran standing at the door with a cloak, his eyes were red from crying, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable, as if he had been pierced with thousands of needles.

It hurts.

But when he finally spoke, his tone softened unconsciously: "Why don't you open the door?" ”

Qiao Ran didn't answer, just looked at the man in front of him.

There was no expression on her face, and her originally smart and dark eyes were ancient and waveless, and she couldn't see any emotion.

The neighbor looked at Qiao Ran, a little worried, and asked, "Ranran, do you know this person?" If you don't know each other, we'll call the police for you. ”

Qiao Ran glanced at the neighbor, but didn't say anything, just turned sideways.

After Chu Jun went north, she closed the door, and the neighbor at the door was stunned, nagged "inexplicable", and turned around and went back to his house.

Chu Junbei entered the door only to find that Qiao Ran's house was in chaos, the pillows on the sofa were smashed to the ground, the chairs and stools collapsed, the whole house was in a mess, the mobile phone was thrown on the floor, and the breathing light kept flashing.

Only the breakfast on the table, although it was cold, was still neatly placed and had not been touched.

Qiao Ran was like a walking corpse, and she didn't look at Chu Junbei, she sat down on the sofa, looked at a note on the coffee table with a dull gaze, and her voice was hoarse: "She's gone." ”

She picked up the pillow that was still on the ground by herself, hugged it in her arms, buried her face in it, and spoke in a very muffled voice: "She left without saying a word to me, I couldn't find her when I got up in the morning, and I couldn't get through the phone......"

The more she talked, the more helpless she became, and finally she cried again.

Chu Junbei felt uncomfortable when he heard her crying, so he squatted in front of the sofa and hugged her tightly in his arms, with his chin resting on her delicate neck.

He didn't say anything, just kept patting her on the back, just comforting her silently and accompanying her.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Ran may have been tired of crying and had no voice.

Chu Junbei gently let go of her, and found that she was holding a pillow in her arms, her eyes were closed, and she was already asleep.

But even when she fell asleep, her eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, and there were still crystal tears hanging on her long and thick eyelashes.

It's like dew hanging on the tips of grass in the morning.

Gently put the person on the sofa, and found a blanket to cover her, so as not to catch a cold, Chu Junbei picked up the note on the table.

The handwriting on the note is a little crooked, not good-looking, it was left by Qiao Pingping:

Ranran, I'm sorry to keep you by my side for so many years, now, it's time to return you to the Pei family. Your mother is a hard-working woman, but she loves you very much, she was bullied in the Pei family back then, you must be careful in the future.

I shouldn't have left like this, but I knew that as long as I stayed in Sioux City, you wouldn't go back, so I had to leave secretly. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself, and you have to take care of yourself, and when I come back, you'll be fine.

Love you.

Chu Junbei pinched the piece of paper with his fingertips, pinched it and wrinkled, he closed his eyes heavily, and when he opened it again, he smoothed the paper again and put it back on the coffee table.

Although there are not many unforgettable sentences on it, Chu Junbei knows that Qiao Pingping can't rest assured that Qiao Ran can't trust the Pei family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those words to himself that day, and he wouldn't have let himself take good care of Qiao Ran.

She will do this, she will leave, she just wants to give Qiao Ran a good future.

This woman, who has been protecting Qiao Ran in such a humble and unpleasant way all these years, has even left her for her future.

Chu Junbei sat in the living room, just waiting.

It was almost noon when Qiao Ran woke up.

It should be used to it, and the first thing she said when she woke up was: "Mom......"

She shouted in a daze, and she didn't know it, but it made Chu Junbei's heart pinch fiercely.

Helping Qiao Ran to sit down, Chu Junbei asked, "Are you hungry?" I'll take you out to dinner? ”

Qiao Ran then remembered that Qiao Pingping was no longer in Su City, and she couldn't find her, so she didn't know where she went.

She shook her head and her gaze fell on the table, "I want to eat what my mom made." ”

She hadn't touched a bite of those breakfasts.

So Chu Junbei went to the kitchen with breakfast.

This business elite in suits and leather shoes, the famous diamond king Lao Wu who shocked the whole country, entered the kitchen with two plates of food.

Then he caught blind.

After more than twenty years of life, he has only been in the kitchen a handful of times, and looking at the pile of utensils in the kitchen, he doesn't know what to do.

Eventually, his eyes fell on the microwave, but when he put it in the microwave, he found it harder than writing a program.

In desperation, Chu Junbei took out his mobile phone from his pocket and prepared to go to the search engine to find out how to use it.

But before he could open the browser, a girl's tired and hoarse voice came from behind him: "I'll come." ”

Chu Junbei was suddenly extremely embarrassed.

For so many years, he has always been glamorous, and there has never been a time when he was helpless like today.

He stepped out of the way, watched the girl in her home clothes methodically heat up the same meal, and helped bring it to the table.

Qiao Ran also brought him dishes and chopsticks, but he didn't move, just watched Qiao Ran eat.

In fact, the breakfast is very simple, steamed buns and porridge, but the steamed buns made by Qiao Pingping are delicious, and Qiao Ran has liked them since she was a child.

Qiao Pingping will also put white sugar in the porridge, which is sweet, and Qiao Ran can always drink two or three bowls.

But today, Qiao Ran drank very slowly and ate very slowly, a bun, only one bite at a time, and he didn't finish it for five minutes.

Then she said: "My mom took me to the playground these days, I always wanted to go when I was a kid, but my mom was always saving me up for tuition, so we always didn't have extra money, I didn't go once." ”

She also took me to my favorite snack bar when I was a kid, and we lived in the neighborhood at that time, and the grandmother at the snack bar was very good at her skills, and I could smell the smell every time I passed by. Later, I moved here, but because it was far away, I rarely got enough food. ”

"Do you know how stupid my mom was that day? She actually took me to buy girlfriend clothes, one for each of us, wearing them on the road, and others kept looking at us like fools. ”

At this point, she ran out of strength, and her chopsticks rolled onto the table, making a crisp sound, and then calmed down.

She lay on the table and cried again, "Why am I so stupid...... Why didn't I find out my mom was wrong......"

They have always lived very poorly, rarely able to go out shopping together, can play unscrupulously, and buy what they like.

Too many things happened some time ago, so in those days, Qiao Ran saw Qiao Pingping so happily taking her around to play, she didn't think much about it, she just felt that it was okay to make Qiao Pingping happy, and she was also happy.

But she never imagined that that kind of life would only last for a short week, like a dream.

When she woke up from the dream, she had nothing, and she couldn't find Qiao Pingping.
