Chapter 107: The Former Residence Revisited
"You see that, too?" Fan Vera drove the car smoothly and asked Joe Airo in the co-pilot.
Qiao Airuo packed the bag in his hand: "Naturally, how could I not see their embarrassment that day, because of sincerity, they must have lived a hard life for a while." ”
Fan Vera nodded, that day she was because she saw that although the ingredients in the kitchen were fresh, they were basically vegetarian dishes, and Lili dodged in the face of her inquiry, and the appearance of those people later, she had already guessed that the life in the welfare home must have been very difficult during this time.
Jo Airo turned on the navigation on the car, and then located a place: "Vera, let's go here." ”
Well? Fan Vera looked at her with a puzzled expression, turned her head to look at her, and finally didn't ask, just drove towards her destination as she asked.
The two of them sat in the car, but they didn't notice a car behind them.
"Boss, do we still have to keep up, they seem to be in a very remote place." The man in the black suit in the driver's seat asked.
A man with a Bluetooth headset in the passenger seat, without any emotion in his eyes, said in a cold tone: "Follow first, don't follow too closely." ”
His eyes looked at the car in front of him that was driving farther and farther away, and then turned on the system on the car: "If you are far away, you will follow the location of finding their car." ”
"Yes." The person in the cab immediately said, slowly slowing down, moving farther away from the car in front.
The headphones sounded, and he picked them up.
A voice came from the phone: "Boss, we have taken down the other pair of stalkers, but they just said that they see that Mr. Qiao and the two are beautiful, so they are tracking." ”
"Didn't you come up with anything else?"
"Nope." That's the truth.
The man's voice was low, and he ordered lightly: "Okay, let the people go, you guys go back to City A first"
"Uh...... Be! The other side of the phone hesitated for 0.1 seconds, and then immediately did as the man instructed.
The man hung up the phone, and then dialed out another phone, the phone was connected, and the magnetic voice came through the earpiece, in the quiet carriage, it seemed extremely clear, just two words: "Leng Yuan." ”
Yes, the person in the car following Qiao Airuo was Leng Yuan, and he said respectfully over there: "Boss, Mr. Qiao and Miss Fan are now heading to a remote place. ”
Su Shaoxi wrote: "Where to go?" ”
"I don't know yet, we're following." Leng Yuan looked at the small red dot on the display screen of the tracking system and reported.
The phone was quiet for a few seconds, and the entire carriage, except for Leng Yuan, almost held their breath, for fear of interfering with the phone, and finally, the other side spoke: "Okay, pay attention to your whereabouts, and report anything immediately." ”
"Yes." Leng Yuan replied.
Immediately, the phone was hung up by that side. The atmosphere in the carriage finally returned to normal from the condensation just now.
"Boss, why don't you report the other wave of people who were following just now?" A man sitting in the back seat, holding a computer in his hand, asked.
Leng Yuan looked at him expressionlessly, the latter was stunned, and immediately shut up, Leng Yuan's thin lips lifted: "Follow well." ”
……
After nearly an hour and a half of driving, Jo Airuo's car finally stopped in one place, and Fan Vera, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked out the window, between which was a two-and-a-half-story building, with the courtyard door covered. In a bamboo forest, it seemed very harmonious, Fan Vera turned her head and looked at Qiao Airuo: "Arrived?" ”
saw Qiao Airuo looking at the house outside, staring at the ground with his eyes, and then spit out two words with red lips: "It's here." ”
After speaking, she took the lead in unbuckling her seat belt, then opened the door and got out of the car, and Fan Vera hurriedly followed her out of the car.
Qiao Airuo was wearing high heels on her feet, and in this quiet bamboo forest, every time she stepped on a step, her voice was extremely clear, but Fan Vera, who was following behind, felt that Qiao Airuo and the house were inexplicably compatible, she watched Qiao Airo approach the house, and then stopped in front of the courtyard gate, looking up at the plaque on the courtyard gate.
On the bamboo plaque, in an extremely delicate font, it is written "Qiao Songju", which complements the extreme temperament of this house.
Jo Ai looked at the plaque fixedly, and the expression on his face was something Van Vera had never seen before.
Her usual charming voice, with caution at the moment, asked, "Qiaoqiao, are you okay?" ”
Qiao Airuo restrained the expression on her face, turned her head, looked at her and smiled, "I'm fine, let's go in." ”
"Go in? Where is this? ”
"My home." Qiao Airuo's faint two words startled Fan Vera.
She remembered the apartment that Qiao Airuo had taken her to before, and asked, "Isn't your home in the center of S City?" ”
"But this is our family's secret base, and here is only the memory of our family of three, and no one else knows about it except for my godmother." Qiao Airuo seemed to think of something happy about things, and his face was full of yearning and happy expressions.
She stretched out her hand to push the door, "squeak", the door was pushed open, the bamboo door has become black after the baptism of the years, but the breeze blows, and the fragrance of the surrounding bamboo forest naughtily burrows into their noses.
Entering the yard, there are several peach trees on the left side, and at this moment there are already small green peaches hanging among the trees, waiting for someone to pick them, Qiao Airuo's slender white fingers gently touched the green peach, as if he was afraid to touch it.
On the right side of the courtyard was a well, inlaid with sleek pebbles, probably because it was summer, only a few dead leaves fell on it, and when Van Vera looked closer, the water in the well still smelled cool.
"This is the first time I've seen water like this." Van Vera was a little curious, she had always lived abroad, and there was a lake and flowing water in the manor, but this was the first time she had seen such a deep well.
Qiao Airuo took a small half bucket of water with the wooden bucket on the side, and gently flicked it with his fingers: "I didn't expect that sixteen years later, this well water is still there." ”
Van Vera's eyes looked at her, as if waiting for the following.
Qiao Airuo smiled, looking rare gentleness, and recalled: "My mother likes the traditional culture of China very much, especially bamboo, after marrying my father, the two of them worked hard and had a certain amount of savings, my father found such a remote place but with a bamboo forest, bought it, and built a house here."
In addition to the courtyard door is made of bamboo, there are a lot of furnishings in the room, if it weren't for the climate of S City is too humid and hot, I think they might build a bamboo building, we will always take a few days out every month, the family lives here, no one disturbs me, I was still young at the time, and I had a lot of fun here.
Mom will always in the morning when the breeze blows, stroking the qin, and on my mother's side, it must be my father on the case calligraphy, I woke up in the morning in the clear sound of the guqin, saw the two of them in the sunshine, looking at each other and smiling, always felt, this should be the best mom and dad in the world. ”
Van Vera listened carefully, this was a picture she had never seen before, and the most she had seen since she was a child was her mother sitting alone at home, with a sad expression on her face, and only when she faced her, would she smile on her face.
Qiao Airuo continued: "The 'Qiao Songju' on the door is taken from the surnames of my mother and father, they have a lot of books here, this is far away from society, it is a place for us to rest, there are no entertainment facilities, there is only a strong smell of books.
"You also know the rest of the matter, my parents died in a car accident, I was entrusted to my godmother in the United States, and I never came back, this time I saw my godmother's collection of things, I knew the address here, and after a few days of struggle, I decided to come over."
Fan Vera patted her on the shoulder: "Jojo, don't be sad. ”
Qiao Airuo smiled, as if she really didn't care anymore: "It's okay, let's go in, I haven't been back for so long, I don't know what has become inside." ”
Fan Vera looked at her emaciated back, a little distressed, no wonder she felt that Qiao Airuo's mood had not been right recently, it seemed that it was not her delusion to return to her homeland, plus she had something hidden in her heart, so she would naturally not be happy.
She followed her steps, stepping through the small bamboo staircase of three floors and entering the door of the house.
Qiao Airuo stood at the door, the furnishings here are still exactly the same as sixteen years ago, thanks to the natural barrier of the surrounding bamboo forest, and the design of the building is also very good, the things in this room are not a trace of damage, there is no trace of modern furniture in the room, it is full of retro atmosphere, and the wall full of books facing the door has been covered with dust at the moment.
Qiao Airuo walked in, and saw the delicate picture frame window, as well as two bamboo chairs, and a small bamboo horse, which were all covered with ash at the moment, and her eyes were slightly moist, and it was really the same as in her memory, in the past, her parents were sitting on their respective bamboo chairs, holding hands, and looking at their respective books, and at that time, she was only in kindergarten, always sitting on the bamboo horse, reading picture books.
Fan Vera looked at Qiao Airuo's distracted appearance and said softly: "Qiao Qiao, I'll wait for you outside, I won't go inside, or leave you alone with your uncle and aunt." ”
She knew that Qiao Airuo's mood at this time must be very complicated, and it might be better if she wasn't there, Qiao Airuo looked at her big charming eyes, instantly understood what Fan Vera meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go to the bedroom to have a look." ”
"Hmm." Van Vera took the car keys from her hand and turned to go out.
The convoy hidden in the shadows saw Fan Vera who came out alone, and the bodyguard in the cab couldn't help but say, "Boss, Miss Fan is out." ”
Leng Yuan looked at Fan Vera, who was back in the car, and there was a rare doubt in his cold eyes, his thin lips were pursed, and he did not speak.
When several subordinates saw that he did not speak, they also kept quiet and stopped talking.
Leng Yuan frowned, looking at the house hidden in the bamboo forest, although the appearance was a little shabby, but he could still see the original owner's love for it. What the hell is this place?
