Qiao Zhenhua smiled and said; "It's not a big deal, it's just that the old lady has been discharged from the hospital, and it's not a matter to always live outside with you, and the little old lady in the place you rented is not comfortable to live in, see if you can take it home, so that someone will take care of it, and it won't let others gossip, you see?"

"Staying at home? You asked Liu Xiufang to take care of her? Do you think my grandmother lived too long on purpose? Qiao Le said unhappily.

"Look at what you say, there is a maid to take care of at home, after all, the old lady is also my mother-in-law, it's not good to live at home, look at ......"

"Impossible, my grandmother won't go back to live, and she didn't live in the same place with me, we are living in Mu Qing's house now, so I won't bother you, that's what you're talking about today?" Qiao Le always maintained a cold attitude, the old lady had been discharged from the hospital for a few days, and Qiao Zhenhua had only come over, which was inevitably too insincere.

Qiao Zhenhua rubbed his hands slightly embarrassed, facing Qiao Le, he was still a little nervous, "Actually...... I have another thing that I don't know how to say. ”

"If you have anything to say, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"You should know about the company, right? It's been going downhill for the past few years, there's almost no profit, and it's now at the most critical time, so ......"

"A question about funding?" Qiao Le took his words.

Qiao Zhenhua nodded, "I know that you have a good relationship with Mr. Mu now, after you rejected me last time, I have not been embarrassed to talk to you again, but this time it is really exhausted, and I ...... Anyway, we are also father and daughter, you shouldn't see death without help, right? ”

Qiao Le looked at him indifferently with an affectionate look, without a trace of emotion, and sure enough, as she thought, when it comes to the interests of herself and the company, she will think that he has such a daughter.

"I really won't die without help, but I remember that you seem to give Liu Xiufang a lot of money every month, why don't you ask her to get some?"

After Liu Youquan's incident last time, Qiao Le learned that Liu Xiufang is very fond of this younger brother, although he often gambles, he still often gives him money to spend and help him pay off his debts, I am afraid that the Qiao family has a lot of money wasted on Liu You's body.

"This ...... She failed to invest and ran out of money, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to you. ”

Failed investment? Qiao Le thought of someone, he had told himself to teach Liu Xiufang a good lesson, could this be his handiwork?

"You sit here for a while, I'll go to the back for a while." Qiao Le took his mobile phone inside, thought for a while, and decided to call Mu Qing to ask.

The phone rang just twice, "Miss me so soon?" ”

"I'm down to business! Do you know about Liu Xiufang's investment failure? ”

"I did it."

"I see."

It seems that Qiao Zhenhua didn't lie to her, Liu Xiufang's funds are gone, and after thinking about it, he called He Haoyu again, he is Qiao Zhenhua's assistant, and he should know the company's situation very well.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Is it difficult for the company to operate right now?" Qiao Le asked bluntly.

"It's a little difficult, but I had a small order some time ago, and there is no big problem with it, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'll ask, don't tell anyone about what I asked you today."

"I understand."

He Haoyu is also dedicated to the Qiao family, and he knows the situation at home very well, and his attitude towards Qiao Le is the same as before, and he trusts him more than Qiao Le.

Since there is nothing wrong with the company, why did Qiao Zhenhua ask her for money?

Something suddenly flashed through my mind! How could she forget that Qiao Feifei is a fashion design major, and it just so happens that Jennifer came back for a fashion design competition, which must have something to do with Qiao Feifei.

Qiao Le couldn't help sneering in his heart, for Qiao Feifei's sake, Qiao Zhenhua actually gave up his son to ask her for money? The attitude towards the two daughters is really different.

Back in the hall, Qiao Le still looked cold, helped Qiao Zhenhua's cup refill the water, and said, "How much money do you want?" ”

"Not much, about 200,000." Qiao Zhenhua estimated that even the cost of clothing would not be much, but he forgot that with the company's current situation, 200,000 yuan could not solve the problem at all.

"Are you sure that two hundred thousand can solve the company's problems? Or did you take the money and it wasn't used to solve the company's situation at all? What other uses are there? ”

Qiao Zhenhua didn't dare to look into her eyes, he didn't know that his eldest daughter was so thoughtful.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "This money is for Fei Fei, she wants to participate in the competition, and she needs money urgently, you know, how can our family get the money to her now?" So ......"

The money can be taken out, Qiao Zhenhua is just unwilling, Qiao Le couldn't be clearer, it must be Liu Xiufang's idea for him.

"So you thought of me, didn't you?" Qiao Le said, "I can take the money, but I have to make a note, she Qiao Feifei borrowed it from me, and I have another condition." ”

"You say."

"I want Qiao Feifei to apologize to me in person."

Since you have a request for her, why not take the opportunity to make her pay something? Qiao Le is not a virgin, she can be forgiven because she is soft-hearted or for any reason, and there will never be such a thing as forgiveness between her and Qiao Feifei.

"Lele, why do you embarrass her, she is your sister......"

"Stop, I don't have a sister, if you don't agree, I won't borrow it, anyway, there's nothing to lose to me, you don't send it when you go out and turn right." Qiao Le got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait! I promise you! As long as Fei Fei apologizes to you? ”

"Yes, as long as you apologize to me, the 200,000 will be given to her immediately."

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Fei Fei, and I'll call you when the time comes."

Qiao Le nodded, watched him get in the car and leave, and it was already very cheap for Qiao Feifei to apologize, but this apology couldn't be so simple.

Qiao Zhenhua immediately returned home, Qiao Feifei and Liu Xiufang had been waiting, and hurriedly stepped forward when they saw him coming back.

"How's it going, borrowed money?"

"Well, Qiao Le promised to borrow 200,000, but ...... Conditionally. ”

"On what terms?"

Qiao Zhenhua glanced at Qiao Feifei and said, "Let Feifei apologize to her." ”

"What did we Fei Fei do wrong? Why should I apologize to her? Liu Xiufang was unhappy when she heard this, and turned her head.

"That's it, I'm not!"

The tempers of the two are the same, Qiao Zhenhua said angrily: "If you don't apologize, then you won't have the money to do a fashion design competition, if your mother didn't lose all the money, would I have to beg her?" That's not for you! ”

Qiao Feifei knew that Qiao Zhenhua was very good to her, but she was really unwilling to make her bow to Qiao Le, but this competition was so important, she really didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"I ...... I just promised not to embarrass my father. Qiao Feifei reluctantly agreed.

That night, Qiao Zhenhua called Qiao Le and said that he had booked a private room in the hotel to invite her to dinner, and Qiao Le agreed.

In the box, Qiao Zhenhua's family of three was sitting there, and Qiao Le pushed the door and saw such a scene, and sat down on the other side, separated from them.

"Lele, the main reason for inviting you to dinner today is to thank you and help Fei Fei." Qiao Zhenhua poured a glass of wine, got up and said first.

Qiao Le was unmoved, and looked at Qiao Feifei, "Wait a while, I haven't accepted the apology yet, so there is no help yet." ”

"Fifi." Qiao Zhenhua reminded her.

Qiao Feifei stood up with a reluctant face and muttered, "I'm sorry." ”

"I didn't hear it, you louder." Qiao Le crossed Erlang's legs, put her hand on the table and gently knocked on it to make a knocking sound, she had to take a good look at what kind of apology she was today.

"I'm sorry!" Qiao Feifei opened her voice and screamed.

"I don't feel your sincerity, do it again."

"You! You're just trying to make it difficult for me! If you don't want to borrow money, just say it, why bother me? Qiao Feifei felt that apologizing to Qiao Le was already the biggest shame in her life, and she humiliated her over and over again, which was too deceitful.

"Am I embarrassed for you? Is it true that your parents have not taught you to apologize to others with sincerity, is it difficult for me to teach you this truth? Qiao Le's gaze fell on her, and Qiao Feifei's sharp eyes made Qiao Feifei dare not speak.

Qiao Zhenhua and Liu Xiufang couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded: "Lele, don't embarrass her, I've already apologized, then ......"

"I haven't heard a sincere apology today that you won't give money, of course, you can also choose to borrow money from others, let's say...... Shen Sizhe, doesn't he have a good relationship with you? Why don't you come to him and bring shame on me? ”

Why didn't Qiao Feifei try to find him? But since the accident in Shen Sizhe's company, their contacts have been less, and Qiao Feifei can't do such a face-saving thing as opening his mouth to take money.

"Think about it, I'll go to the bathroom."

Qiao Le took the bag and went out, after washing her face with cold water, she was still a little undecided, just now she just pretended to be strong to show them, she didn't want them to feel that they were bullying, so she calmed down for a moment and came out of it.

"Sister-in-law?" Someone behind her called her, and she turned around and saw Xu Wenrui.

"Mr. Xu? So coincidentally met you here? ”

"Well, Lao Mu is here too."

"No, my family and I are eating here." Qiao Le thought about it and decided to talk about the family, thinking of Deng Xiang's entrustment of her help, "I don't know if Mr. Xu is free now, I have something to tell you." ”

"If my sister-in-law has anything to say, it's all her own anyway."

"I know what I said about this may be a little offensive, but I was also asked for help by others, about your subordinate Deng Xiang, he was also teased last time he went to me to collect protection money, not entirely his fault, you see...... Can you let him continue to go back to work? ”

Xu Wenrui knew in his heart, Deng Xiang is really good, and he is also very loyal to him, but there is a problem, that is, he has no own opinions, what others say is what he says, Xu Wenrui has said many times about this issue that it is useless, just take this opportunity to let him go out to experience the experience.

"Sister-in-law, I understand, I didn't punish him, it's okay to come back if you want to, let him exercise with you first, even if it's to be your bodyguard, the kind that doesn't need a salary, what do you see?"

Bodyguard...... Qiao Le really doesn't need it, and usually no one makes trouble or anything, but if she brought it, she also brought it, and she didn't say much, she just said that she knew.

Back in the box, Qiao Le returned to his indifferent appearance and asked, "How are you thinking?" ”

Qiao Feifei walked up to her, bowed deeply at her, and said sincerely, at least in Qiao Le's opinion: "I solemnly apologize to you for what I have done, I'm sorry, please forgive me." ”

Qiao Le was very satisfied with her actions, nodded her head and asked her to get up, took out a piece of paper and pen from her bag, on which an IOU had been drawn up, and put it on the table, "Sign and stamp your handprint, and 200,000 will be given to you." ”

I even got an IOU for her! Qiao Feifei was so angry that she really wanted to leave, but she bowed her head for the money, signed her name, and spread her hand, "Give it to me." ”

Qiao Le didn't embarrass her, took out a card and threw it to her, "200,000 yuan is in the card, there is no password, okay, I still have something to do, so I won't eat here." ”

"Lele, can you stay and have some food?" Qiao Zhenhua kept her, and only Qiao Le's back responded to him.

Out of the hotel, Qiao Le stood at the door and took a deep breath, feeling refreshed, it turned out that it was so cool to see others asking for her, from childhood to adulthood, she was always suppressed by Liu Xiufang and Qiao Feifei's mother and daughter, at home, everything she said was wrong, Qiao Zhenhua would never stand on her side, she had been living in a nest, only at this moment, she really raised her head, and she was never more happy.

"Are you happy?"

As soon as Qiao Le turned around, he saw Mu Qing in a suit and leather shoes, and nodded with a smile, "Happy!" So happy! ”

This is the only time Mu Qing has seen her smile from the bottom of her heart since he met her, the kind that comes from the heart, it seems that everything he did was not in vain, at least it made her happy.

"Hungry? Going to eat? ”

"I'm hungry, but I'm happy today, can you please eat?"

"You just lent out 200,000 yuan, are you sure you want to invite me?" Mu Qing opened the car door and let her get into the car.

"Hmph, I'm also the gym owner now, so it's more than enough for you to eat! Don't underestimate me! Qiao Le is really happy, and his speech has become much more relaxed and pleasant.

"Okay, but I want to cook my own today, would you like to try my craft?"

"You know how to cook?" Qiao Le was surprised, Mu Qing was such a noble person, and he was born in the Mu family, how could he be a person who could cook?

"Of course."

"Then I'm interested in trying it."

Back in Clear Water Bay, the maid had already taken care of the old lady and slept after eating, and Qiao Le didn't bother.

Mu Qing changed into a home clothes, put on an apron and stood in the kitchen, looking quite like that.

Looking back, he saw Qiao Le staring at him, "You go out and wait." ”

"Are you sure you can do it alone? Why don't I help? ”

"No, go out and wait."

Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Qiao Le didn't cling anymore, returned to the sofa and turned on the TV to watch silently, Mu Qing's mobile phone was on the coffee table, vibrating silently.

"Mu Qing, your phone is ringing."

"If it's work, say I'm busy." Mu Qingtou said without replying.

The caller ID was an unfamiliar number, and Qiao Le pressed the answer button, "Hello?" ”

"You are?" The voice of a somewhat old woman on the other end of the phone glanced at the phone again to make sure there was no mistake, "Is it Mu Qing's mobile phone?" ”

"Yes, he's ...... right now Busy, if there's something, I'll ask him to call you back in a moment. Qiao Le didn't know who the other party was, and it was hard to say that Mu Qing was cooking.

"No, no, I'll call next time." After saying that, he hung up.

Qiao Le looked at the inexplicable phone call, didn't say anything, put it back on the coffee table and continued to watch TV.

The old lady looking at the phone pushed the old man next to her, "Mummy, it was a little girl who answered our grandson's call just now." ”

"Is this a play?" Mu Nanyi turned his head and asked gossipily.

"I don't know, I didn't see anything, it sounds good, it's very polite."

"If you think it's good, that's good."

These two people are Mu Nanyi and Su Ke, who are playing in a certain country, and they will talk to Mu Qing on the phone every once in a while, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise today.

Half an hour later, Mu Qing came out with two portions of fried steak, along with a vegetable salad and a plate of stir-fry, and Qiao Le was stunned.

"You did this?"

"Of course."

Just smelling the fragrance, it was the same as the steak eaten outside, and it tasted good, but she couldn't see that Mu Qing had such good skills.

"Drink some red wine?" Mu Qing took out a bottle of red wine from the wine shelf and opened it, and poured them a glass, "Congratulations, you won a game today." ”

"Thank you." Qiao Le took a sip of red wine, indescribably happy, "Actually, it's mainly your help, otherwise how could I be so relaxed?" So, I still want to thank you. ”

Saying that, he toasted him with the wine, and soon the wine in the glass was gone, Qiao Le usually doesn't drink, but he was really happy today, and he kept chatting and drinking with Mu Qing, Mu Qing only listened to her quietly, and cut the steak on the plate in front of him and changed it to her.

"I've always had a question, why are you so nice to me?"

Probably after drinking, Qiao Le finally asked this sentence, she couldn't figure it out, a person like Mu Qing with a family background and a background could have a better girlfriend, and she didn't need to be with a person with a bad reputation like her, and she saved her and took on the name of the man who didn't know who it was, how could this Ancheng people talk about it?

Everything Mu Qing did to her, Qiao Le saw it in her eyes, she didn't know how to repay, how to respond, every time she pretended not to know and fooled the past, but she understood in her heart.

"Because you're Qiao Le."

"What is this called? There are more people with the same name as me in this world, and those people are all girls from good families, you can find them, why waste time with me? I can deal with Liu Xiufang now, I don't need to ......"

Qiao Le was overwhelmed by alcohol, and after only two glasses of red wine, she began to feel dizzy and slurred a little speech.

"You're drunk, I'll help you to rest."

"I didn't! Can you tell me? Why me? "She's still obsessed with it.

"I like you, is that reason enough?"

Qiao Le smiled, how long had they known each other, and they didn't like it at all, they were obviously perfunctory to her, and they wanted to continue asking, but her eyes were getting blurry and dizzy......

Mu Qing picked her up and walked to the room, gently put her on the bed, Qiao Le turned his face inside, and sniffed lightly.

Lowering her head, Mu Qing saw that the sleeves of her arms were wet, Qiao Le cried, her heart hurt slightly, and she turned her face over, she was already full of tears, "Where is it uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm uncomfortable...... Qiao Le frowned aggrievedly and got into his arms, "I miss my mother, I'm so uncomfortable......"

Mu Qing gently patted her back, allowing her emotions to ease a little.

Qiao Le lost her mother since she was a child, and her growth without her mother is incomplete, coupled with the arrival of Liu Xiufang, she can't enjoy the happiness of the family, and Shen Sizhe is her playmate since she was a child and a childhood sweetheart, but she betrayed her when she had an accident, and no one can bear it, and now it is not easy for Qiao Le to appear in front of him in a healthy and safe manner.

The more she thought about it, the more Mu Qing felt sorry for her, and her disgust for Shen Sizhe and the Qiao family became deeper and deeper, in the final analysis, all Qiao Le's pain was caused by them, and it must not be forgiven!

Qiao Le gradually quieted down in his arms, and fell asleep with tears on his face, his body curled up like a child.

"I won't leave, I'll always be with you." Mu Qing gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.

The fashion design competition came as scheduled, because of the invitation to internationally famous designers, many contestants were in a hurry to sign up, and Qiao Feifei also successfully signed up and was busy with design drawings to participate.

Qiao Le looked at the report on the Internet, with Jennifer's photo on it, and the title of the Mu Group at the bottom smiled, after that night, her relationship with Mu Qing became very delicate, and there was always a very unnatural feeling when she saw him, and Mu Qing also took extra care of her, and she couldn't tell what their relationship was now.

"Le Baby!" Just thinking about it, Jennifer pushed the door in, opened her arms and gave her a big hug, Qiao Le saw Mu Qing who came with him through his shoulder, these two came together? Won't it ...... It's going to be the same as before, right? She can't stand it anymore!

Mu Qing didn't bother to bother with Jennifer, he investigated, Qiao Le was abroad thanks to his care, everything went well, and the most important thing was ...... Jennifer is male, and her hobbies are also male, so she is not a threat to him, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

"Do you have something to do together?"

"Take you to a design contest?"

"I don't understand that, what are you doing?"

"I don't have a family member to accompany me." Mu Qing said at the right time, waiting for her response.

Qiao Le couldn't understand these two people, when did they come to an agreement?

"Even if I go, I'll have to give me time to change my clothes, right?"

"Don't worry, baby, I picked out clothes for you, I'll take you to change now, go!" Jennifer took her arm and left, not giving her a chance to regret it.

The competition was held at Anseong TV, and many vehicles and media were parked at the door, ready to get first-hand news.

Mu Qing and others arrived at the scene, Qiao Le got out of the car with one in one hand, and was blinded by the flash as soon as she got out of the car, she really didn't like this feeling, Yuan Jing waved his hand, and a few men in suits came out to block the camera, and they entered the venue safely.

When Jennifer arrived, many young and unknown designers flocked to take autographs and photos with him, and the security guards around them stopped them one by one.

Qiao Le saw Qiao Feifei from the crowd with sharp eyes, and she was also eagerly reaching out to take a photo with Jennifer, unfortunately, she also saw Qiao Le, and she held Jennifer's hand, on such an important occasion, they appeared together to see that the relationship was not ordinary, Mu Qing on the left, and Jennifer the top designer on the right, all good things made Qiao Le meet, Qiao Feifei's eyes were red.

Jennifer went to the judges' bench and sat down, Mu Qing took Qiao Le to sit down in the back, this row of seats are reserved for sponsors and title sponsor bosses, and they can sit here, and they are also first-class characters.

There are still ten minutes left in the game, and the staff is doing the commissioning of the on-site equipment.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Qiao?" A staff member walked over to her and asked her softly.

"I am."

"Mr. Jennifer said that I have something to do with you, please go backstage with me."

Qiao Le looked up at the judges' seat, Jennifer was really not there, and said goodbye to Mu Qing and came back immediately, and followed him.

I just got to the back room, and as soon as I entered, a black thing came across him, Qiao Le's head was covered with a black cloth, and his arms were tied behind him, and he couldn't move.

"What are you doing? Let me go! Qiao Le shouted loudly, feeling lifted up and not knowing where to go.

"Let her down!" There is a familiar female voice.

Qiao Le was placed on the ground, and his hood was taken off, and he saw Qiao Feifei's face, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think it's too much of an eyesore for you to sit there, so I'll let you stay here."

"It's you who compete, and it's not me, what's in your way?"

"I didn't even know you and Jennifer were good friends! Qiao Le, you really have the ability, you have been stained with any big shots, do you know how jealous I am of you? Qiao Feifei's face was hideous, she was unwilling, why did she work so hard, do her best in her studies, and make her own studio, trying her best to stand out in the design industry, squeezing her head to participate in this competition in order to be able to get closer to a big guy like Jennifer, but he actually appeared with Qiao Le holding hands, how could she be willing?

Although it didn't affect her anything, she just couldn't figure out why a woman like Qiao Le was always popular? And she prefers to work alone?

"Qiao Feifei, don't forget, it was you who apologized to me that day to make you eligible to participate in the competition now."

"Phew!" Qiao Feifei snorted in her face, "As soon as you talk about the events of that day, I will be angry, let me apologize to you, it's a great shame, aren't you obediently lying at my feet today?" ”

"So, what are you going to do?" Qiao Le tried hard to keep herself calm, looking at the surrounding environment, it should be some unused dressing room, she called for a long time just now and no one responded, it is estimated that she is busy in front.

Jo Feifei took out her phone from her bag and found Jennifer's phone, which was about a minute before the opening, and there was time for it.

"Call Jennifer now and ask him to make me win this tournament no matter what."

"You think too much, and he doesn't set the championship alone!"

"Don't worry, I will tell him that you are in my hands, and you have such a good relationship, you will definitely agree." As he spoke, the phone had been dialed, and Jennifer's voice came from the other end.

"Le baby, what's wrong?"
