in the hospital.

Tang Haotian was taken care of by Mu Qing, and he also took special care of the old lady, and specially sent lunch over at noon, and chatted with the old lady by the way.

"Dr. Tang, I have a question for you."

"Grandma, you're welcome, just ask, as long as I know."

The old lady glanced outside the door, Qiao Le had just gone out not long ago, and there were some questions that were only good to ask when she was not there, although she was old, she saw things very clearly, it must have been the man named Mu Qing who greeted them in the morning, and the doctor took special care of them.

"What is the relationship between Lele and that Mu Qing? I look like I'm taking good care of our family. ”

It's not just a lot of care! They're all married, okay!

But it's not easy to say it directly, Tang Haotian has always liked to joke, but he is still quite reliable in serious matters.

"I don't know much about them, Mu Qing doesn't talk much, so he likes to prove it with his actions, I think grandma you know it very well, why don't you ask the person concerned?"

Tang Haotian skillfully handed over the question to her, and the old lady smiled meaningfully, sure enough, this doctor is not ordinary.

A moment later, Jole returned.

"Grandma, we can be discharged from the hospital in a while, but you can't go back yet, stay with me for a while, and then you can leave when your body is completely well." Qiao Le really can't let go of her, in case Liu Xiufang finds someone to trouble her again, it will be bad.

"Will it delay your work?"

"How could it be! I want to be closer to my grandmother. ”

Saying that, helping to pack up his things, Tang Haotian also helped on the side, and asked in a gap: "I'll arrange a car for you, this is Mu Qing's care." ”

"It's fine." Qiao Le didn't refuse.

However, she took her grandmother back to the small apartment she rented, and it was impossible to go back to Qiao's house anyway.

……

Qiao Feifei called Shen Sizhe, made an appointment to meet, saw the injury on his face, and touched it distressedly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"If you are beaten like this, does it hurt?" Shen Sizhe went back, fortunately it was only a flesh wound, and he couldn't see anyone for a few days, and his good face couldn't be ruined like this.

"I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have left you alone, but if I don't go first, the news won't be exposed." Qiao Feifei said, her eyes were red, and she looked very aggrieved.

When it came to the news, Shen Sizhe was furious, originally thinking that after sending it out, he would make Qiao Le ruined, and then begged him, but he didn't expect Mu Qing to get involved, and now the family company is also affected, and he doesn't know what to do next.

"Okay, don't talk about the news later."

"Could it be so easy for Qiao Le to escape? I'm not reconciled! Qiao Feifei doesn't want to be bullied by her all the time, the Qiao family can only have an excellent daughter like her, and Qiao Le must not be compared.

How can Shen Sizhe be willing? Only he knows the grievances in his heart, but in Ancheng, the Mu family is dominant, and even his father has to give three points, so how can he deal with him?

"Let's take a long-term view of this matter, and don't mention it for now."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, by the way, did you tell your mom about us?" Qiao Feifei changed the topic, since she knew Shen Sizhe, she liked him a lot, but he was Qiao Le's fiancé, what could he do, until Qiao Le left after the accident, she and Shen Sizhe were together openly, and now it has been a few years.

Shen Sizhe glanced at her, Qiao Feifei gave birth to a good skin, and she was indeed slightly better looking than Qiao Le in terms of appearance, and her figure was ...... The two sisters are similar, but he hasn't tried Qiao Le, he only knows that Qiao Feifei's kung fu in bed is not bad, but he doesn't want to marry her, it's good to talk about love and play, and he still needs to think about it if he lives in the future.

"Recently, there has been a problem in the company, how can I have time to talk about this, let's slow down."

In fact, as early as before, Shen Wanhai also said that the problem of the two families was married, it was still when the Qiao family's business was good, and he felt that the two families could take more care of their business after they were married, but now the Qiao family's business is going downhill, and the Shen family has no orders, and it is also a burden for such a family to be combined.

"You tell me every time to slow down, when is it going to be? You promised me to marry me before I was 25, and I'm 23 now! ”

"Isn't that two more years? Let's take our time. Shen Sizhe kissed her on the cheek, and Qiao Feifei smiled shyly.

When she came out of the café, she received a phone call.

"Niece, I've been a little short of money lately, can you give me some money?" A man on the phone said.

Qiao Feifei frowned, and said impatiently: "I don't have any money, don't ask me." ”

"Didn't your dad give you pocket money? How could there not be? Hurry up and send me money! ”

"My costume studio still needs money, where is the money for you? Ask my mom! After speaking, Qiao Feifei hung up the phone unceremoniously.

The person who called her was Liu Xiufang's younger brother Liu Youquan, that is, her uncle, this person has no serious job, but he still likes to gamble, and often asks them for money when he runs out, Liu Xiufang finds her without giving money, and after tasting the sweetness a few times, he becomes more and more presumptuous, Qiao Feifei can't stand it for a long time, but he is his own uncle and has no choice.

Liu Youquan looked at the phone he hung up and said to the person behind him, "This ...... My niece has a bad temper, so let me think of another way. ”

"Liu Youquan, today is your deadline, if you don't take out the money again, one of your hands will give us the boss, you can do it yourself!" The cheeky guy sitting in the chair said.

"Okay, okay, I'll figure it out, you wait, I'll call my sister!" Liu Youquan's nervous hands were trembling, he didn't want to really have a hand chopped off.

rang twice, and as soon as the phone was answered, he shouted: "Sister! Sister! Do you have 100,000 dollars now? I need it urgently! ”

Liu Xiufang was preparing to change her clothes and go out at home, she was already in a bad mood, and she was a little unhappy when she heard this, "I want money when I call, can you have something else besides money?" ”

"Sister, I can't help it! Recently, I started a small business with a friend, and now I am short of money, when I make money, I will pay you back immediately, okay? ”

Liu Youquan is the only boy in the Liu family, Liu Xiufang's parents were very fond of him when he was alive, so that now it has become like this, but Liu Xiufang is still more fond of her younger brother, and will give him money to spend when he is fine, but he has never heard him say to pay back, and today he was startled when he suddenly heard the word "pay back".

"Are you really in business? No gambling anymore? ”

"Of course! Sister, how could I lie to you, just 100,000 yuan, and I will pay you back in half a month at most! Liu Youquan boasted about Haikou.

"Okay then, I trust you, wait for me for twenty minutes, I'll take the money and send it to you." She was about to go out and see how her money was going, and she agreed.

Liu Youquan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled like a pug and said to the bearded man: "Brother Deng, please wait a little longer, you will get the money soon." ”

Brother Deng's real name is Deng Xiang, and he snorted when he heard this, "That's good, let people follow you to get the money for a while, and I'll tell you, don't play tricks!" ”

"Okay, Brother Deng, don't worry, my sister must be the talker, and I didn't pay back the money every time?"

"You're a person, you don't have a lot of luck and you like to gamble, you say you can't do something serious? You have to trouble my brothers to give you some face. ”

Deng Xiang is right, every time Liu Youquan gambles, his luck is not very good, if others fancy him to bet, he will lose immediately, but he just doesn't believe in evil, and always tries again and again.

"Hehe, Brother Deng, don't I have itchy hands, what if I get rich?"

Deng Xiang smiled and didn't speak, waiting quietly.

Liu Xiufang packed up and asked the driver to take her out, and when she arrived at the downstairs of a building, she saw a lot of people surrounded in front of her, and there were two people she was very familiar with, and they were the wives who bought investment and financial management with her.

"Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Wang, what are you doing here?"

"Ouch! Xiufang, why did you come! It's amazing! "Mrs. Wang is bluffing on weekdays, and at this time she shouted even louder.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Liu Xiufang had a bad premonition in her heart.

Mrs. Xu also frowned, "Our financial management funds here are gone, I heard that it seems that this company has left with a cover." ”

"What?" Liu Xiufang's head suddenly went blank, and it took a long time to react, "Really? When was this? ”

"Just left today, someone heard the news and notified us."

Liu Xiufang was dumbfounded, she had invested a lot of money here, she dared to put the money here only when they got the money, but she didn't expect to run away.

Qiao Zhenhua will give her living expenses every month, and she also has a card with a lot of money stored in it, almost all of which is here, and the money earned this time has not been obtained, but a lot has been posted.

"Did you call the police?"

"It's been reported, but how can so many people's money be recovered? It's not a small amount, and those people must have transferred all the money! How can you find it so easily? ”

The words of the two made Liu Xiufang completely chilled, it was the money she had saved for most of her life, and she wanted to get some extra money every month...... As a result, it really lost his wife and his soldiers.

Those people were still talking around the building, and everyone's faces were anxious.

The mobile phone in Liu Xiufang's pocket rang, and it was a call from Liu Youquan.

"Sister, I've arrived, where are you?"

Liu Xiufang didn't speak, she didn't have money, what if people went?

"Sister, why don't you speak, I need money urgently!" Liu Youquan was in a hurry, looking at the people who were staring at him not far behind him, if he didn't take the money, his life would not be guaranteed!

"Money, money, money! You always ask for money! Why can't you just get a job? I know all day and night that I want money, but now I have failed to invest and I have lost a penny! Liu Xiufang poured all her anger on him, and yelled at the phone.

Liu Youquan was also stunned, stunned for a while and didn't react, when did his sister ever murder him?

"What kind of investment are you doing! What should I do if I need to use the money now? ”

"What to do? Figure it out for yourself! I can't explain it to Qiao Zhenhua yet! After speaking, he hung up the phone.

This time, Liu Youquan was confused, he didn't have money, he really wanted to chop off a hand for them, he didn't want to be disabled at a young age!

"Boy, what about the money?" The two people in the back saw that he had been standing there and walked over and asked.

"The two big brothers talk well, I'...... My sister can't get that much out of her hands right now, you see...... Can you slow down for a few days? ”

"You talk to the eldest brother about this!" The big man grabbed his collar with one hand and threw it into the car.

Deng Xiang had already heard that Liu Youquan didn't get the money, there was a knife on the table, and when he arrived, a big man on the side held his arm and put his right hand on the table.

"Brother Deng! Elder brother! Don't! ”

"I said that I would let you go when I saw the money, but you didn't get the money back, I'm sorry!" As he spoke, Deng Xiang raised his knife and was about to fall.

Liu Youquan shouted, a few seconds later, there was no imaginary pain, opened his eyes and found that Deng Xiang was wiping the knife with a cloth, and said: "Forget it, you will use your right hand in the future, change to your left hand, in case you can't help but gamble, your right hand is also mine." ”

"Brother! I was wrong! I...... I'll never bet again next time! You let me go! Liu Youquan was really frightened, and kept yelling.

Just when Deng Xiang was about to start, something suddenly came to his mind, and he shouted to stop him: "Brother! I still have a way to get the money! ”

"Say, if you dare to lie to me again, both hands will be chopped off!"

Liu Youquan gestured, Deng Xiang leaned over his ear, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

……

Inside the apartment.

Qiao Le accompanied her grandmother to watch TV, peeled an orange in her hand and handed it to the old lady's mouth, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and the mobile phone next to her vibrated silently.

"An Tong, what's wrong?"

"Qiao Le, come to the gym quickly, there are many people who come to make trouble, saying that they want to collect protection money, do you see if it is the person Liu Xiufang found?" An Tong's voice was very low, and she could clearly hear someone talking in her background voice.

Qiao Le was shocked, how could someone go to the store to collect protection money? The security situation over there has always been very good, huh?

"You wait for me, come over right away!"

hung up the phone, said hello to my grandmother and went to the store, hurried out, walked on the road, and suddenly remembered what Mu Qing said to her yesterday, and told him something.

With so many people making trouble, she couldn't solve it as a girl, so she called him without thinking about it.

Mu Qing was having a meeting in the conference room, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, it was a specific ringtone, the conference room had a clear rule that the sound must be muted during the meeting, and everyone turned their heads to look at him and didn't dare to say a word.

Mu Qing looked at the caller ID, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he went out with the phone.

Everyone: Just ...... Is the boss laughing?

"Ahem, the meeting continues." Yuan Jing coughed softly twice, reminded the sales manager on the stage, and also went out.

"Why did you call me all of a sudden?" Mu Qing saw that it was Qiao Le's call, and his voice became gentle.

"Didn't bother you, did you? I have something I want to trouble you right now. ”

"You're not troublesome."

Qiao Le ignored his sweet words, and roughly talked about the situation in the store, asking him to find a way to solve it.

"I see, don't worry, I'll be there in a moment."

Dare to go to Qiao Le's store to collect protection money? It's really the funniest joke Mu Qing has ever heard in his life, and he told Yuan Jing to prepare the car.

When Qiao Le arrived at the store, he saw two people standing in front of him, led by the bearded man who was Deng Xiang, and Liu Youquan was standing next to him.

Qiao Le has no impression of Liu Youquan, and she has never seen any of Liu Xiufang's relatives.

"I'm the boss here, just look for me if you have something." Qiao Le walked over unhurriedly.

Deng Xiang glanced at her, felt a little familiar, and couldn't remember where he had seen it, and said: "Since the boss is here, it's easy to say, let's come today to collect protection money, and I will cover your store in the future." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Le smiled and asked without changing his face, "Really?" Tell me, how are you going to cover my store? ”

Deng Xiang instantly came to the end, this little girl still understands the rules of the rivers and lakes.

"After collecting the money and doing things for others, if anyone dares to bully anyone here in the future, tell me, I will help you!"

"Well, tell me the price."

Liu Youquan came to his senses when he heard that he was going to talk about money, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"100,000 yuan!"

Ooh! This lion opened his mouth widely, one mouth is 100,000 yuan, not to mention, Qiao Le can really take it out now, just with the money from Mu Qing and a few of his friends to apply for a card, 200,000 yuan is not a problem, but she can't give it.

Qiao Le walked up to him, pinched the muscles on his arms, and looked at his thighs, the muscles were quite tight, but they just had an appearance, scaring and scaring people.

"Your body looks like you haven't exercised for a long time, and you have an empty shelf, if someone really comes to make trouble, I'm afraid you're not very good, won't it be in vain for me to pay this 100,000 yuan?"

Deng Xiang's face changed, he really hasn't exercised for a long time, since he became the boss, he has nothing else to do every day except eating, drinking and having fun, but he didn't expect to be said by this little girl.

"I have brothers under me, anyway, you will pay the protection money today!"

Qiao Le glanced at those people, no different from him, and shook his head, "It's a pity, I have someone in this store to protect me." ”

"Who?"

Coincidentally, Mu Qing's car arrived, and Qiao Le pointed out angrily.

In addition to Yuan Jing, there were two bodyguards behind Mu Qing, who were burly, and at first glance they were Lian Jiazi, and they instantly compared several of them.

The most important thing is that Deng Xiang was even more frightened when he saw Mu Qing, took a few steps back, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Mu ...... Mr. Mu, why are you here? ”

Mu Qing ignored him, walked to Qiao Le's side, naturally hugged her, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Isn't that okay with me? What can happen? ”

"That's good."

Only then did Mu Qing turn his gaze to Deng Xiang, he remembered that this person was the person in charge of the Ancheng Casino, and he was also Xu Wenrui's subordinate.

"You charge protection money?"

"Mr. Mu, I don't dare...... I didn't know it was your ...... here."

As soon as Mu Qing came in, he cared about Qiao Le, and the fool could see that their relationship was extraordinary, if he had known that this was Mu Qing's territory, he wouldn't have listened to Liu Youquan's nonsense! No wonder Qiao Le looks so familiar, the news just reported two days ago! She is now Mu Qing's person!

"Brother Deng, why are you ......" Liu Youquan couldn't understand this scene, how could Deng Xiang's momentum weaken from the moment this man came in? Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face, and Deng Xiang told him to shut up.

"Inform Xu Wenrui."

Since it is Xu Wenrui's person, it is better for him to solve it.

An Tong had been standing behind Qiao Le, gently tugging at her sleeve and asking, "You actually called Mr. Mu over, it's okay!" ”

"Who are you looking for if you don't look for him? We can't do it. ”

This is also true, this kind of thing can only be solved by Mu Qing, and An Tong is relieved to go to other things.

Soon Xu Wenrui came, and was startled when he saw so many people standing in the hall, "Lao Mu, are you having a meeting here?" ”

After speaking, he saw his own person, "Deng Xiang, what are you doing here?" ”

Deng Xiang is wronged, can you say that he doesn't want to appear here?

"You have to ask your subordinates how dare they come to my wife to collect protection money." Mu Qing suddenly spoke.

What? Collecting protection money? Xu Wenrui was stunned, when did he start a new business?

Deng Xiang knew that the consequences were very serious, and took the initiative to explain the ins and outs.

Xu Wenrui was so angry that he really wanted to beat him, but because they didn't have a good seizure, he only reprimanded: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" ”

"But just now he said that Liu Youquan owes money?" Mu Qing asked again.

Deng Xiang nodded violently, "Yes, it was his idea to say that he has a niece who has opened a shop here, and let's collect protection money." ”

Liu Youquan saw that there was an opportunity to speak, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Qiao Le, aren't you my niece?" You can't look at me and die! ”

This Liu Youquan's face is not ordinarily thick, he and Liu Xiufang are sisters and brothers, and Qiao Le is not Liu Xiufang's daughter, what kind of relatives are Pan?

"I'm sorry, but I've never had an uncle or any other relative."

"That means that this person should be dealt with as he should be disposed of?"

Mu Qing and Qiao Le sang and harmonized, Xu Wenrui naturally agreed, anyway, this is all his business, and he also got Mu Qing over, it was too shameless.

"Get back to me!"

Deng Xiang hurriedly dragged Liu Youquan away, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say sorry to Qiao Le, and Liu Youquan was also pulled away if he wanted to plead.

"What, Lao Mu, I'll go first."

Mu Qing nodded, turned around and looked at Qiao Le with satisfaction.

"What punishment did they just say?" Qiao Le vaguely remembered that Deng Xiang said that Liu Youquan owed money and deserved punishment, and he was very curious.

"Xu Wenrui's casino has a rule, if the money owed can no longer be repaid within the specified time, it will be replaced with one hand."

Qiao Ledao took a breath of cool air and ...... with one hand This...... It's scary, isn't it?

Mu Qing looked at her frightened appearance, lowered his head, and kissed her on the forehead.

"Huh? What are you doing? Qiao Le was startled and quickly took two steps back to keep his distance.

"It's a reward for you."
