Thinking of this, Qiao Ai directly called Gu Nan and asked him if he had time now.

Gu Nan readily agreed to Qiao Ai's invitation, and after asking her location, he set the location at a café near Qiao Ai.

Qiao Ai hung up the phone, rubbed her temples, and thought about how to open her mouth later, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure and walked into a luxury store.

Xu Xinyao?

Qiao Ai's eyebrows twisted slightly.

She vaguely heard people mention her family conditions, and when facing her, her words and deeds also revealed restraint, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like the kind of girl who loves vanity.

So what does she do in this kind of place?

With only her own salary of a few thousand yuan a month, she can't afford the consumption here at all.

The other party is her most optimistic designer at the moment, and Qiao Ai is worried that she will go down the wrong path because of impulse, so she follows in.

Because Gu Youyou was not satisfied with the furnishings of her house, and had many requirements for food and clothing, Xu Xinyao had been to many luxury stores in the past two days, and when she walked into this store, she was no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning.

She quickly chose three or four dresses according to the requirements of taking care of Youyou: "Please help me choose a bag that matches these clothes." ”

It was rare for the counter lady to see such a generous customer, and her face almost turned into a flower: "Okay, please wait." ”

She quickly selected two bags and brought them over to show Xu Xinyao one by one.

Xu Xinyao nodded: "Wrap it all up." ”

"Okay miss, you have spent a total of 180,000 yuan, is it a credit card?"

"Yes." Xu Xinyao took out the card and was about to hand it to the counter lady, when a smiling voice suddenly remembered behind her: "The consumption of 180,000 yuan didn't blink, I didn't expect Xinyao to be so bold in private." ”

Xu Xinyao's body shook violently, and the bank card was so frightened that he came out of his hand.

In mid-air, he was caught by a hand.

Qiao Ai walked up to Xu Xinyao, returned the bank card to her, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Why are you so careless?" ”

Xu Xinyao finally regained her language ability, and the hard corners of the bank card cleared her chaotic brain a little: "Qiao...... Mr. Qiao, listen to my explanation, this, I didn't buy it for myself, I gave it to a ......"

Remembering that Shen Yue had told no one to know Gu Youyou's whereabouts, Xu Xinyao swallowed the words that almost blurted out: "Yes, I recently found a new part-time job to help a young lady buy things, I ......"

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Qiao Ai took out a tissue, helped her wipe the sweat on her head, and said softly: "You don't need to explain to me in such detail, how to consume is your freedom, I just saw you outside and came in to say hello." ”

Xu Xinyao's heart was still beating violently, and she nodded nervously.

"You said this is your new part-time job, are you short of money right now?" Joe asked with concern.

Xu Xinyao lowered his head: "There is a little." ”

"I've vaguely heard about your family, if you're short of money, you can come to me." Joe was relieved to know that she was not on the wrong path: "With your talent for design, I believe that in a few years, you will be able to spend here with your own salary." ”

"Really, really?" Xu Xinyao's eyes widened slightly.

bought tens of thousands of dresses without blinking, and she couldn't imagine that kind of life.

As long as she can survive her mother's illness, and then the mother and daughter buy a house of their own in this city, she is already very content. 137

"Of course. Even if you don't believe in your own abilities, you have to trust my vision. Qiao Ai patted her on the shoulder: "Come on, don't be shy if you have difficulties in life, just come to me." ”

She smiled at Xu Xinyao again, turned around and walked out.

Looking at her departing back, Xu Xinyao's jealousy of Gu Youyou's natural ignorance of the people's sufferings in the past few days has mostly dissipated.

She can't compare to the congenital conditions, but she can give herself a better life with her own ability!

Her eyes re-bloomed with the tenacity of not admitting defeat from before.

……

"Sorry, I'm late."

Qiao Ai was looking at the green plants on the table intently when she heard Gu Nan's voice.

She came back to her senses and smiled at Gu Nan: "It's okay, I've just been here for a short time." What do you want to drink? ”

"Green tea is fine." Gu Nan sat down opposite Qiao Ai and said solemnly: "Just now Mrs. Zhou said on the phone that she had thought about the conditions, I don't know what the matter is?" ”

Qiao Ai pondered the words, "I want to ask some about your family's family affairs. ”

"Our family's family affairs?" Gu Nan quickly guessed what Qiao Ai wanted to ask, and directly gave her an answer that she was sure of: "Impossible!" ”

"As early as when the people below told me that there was no result, I also suspected our family, but it did not match the clues you gave Mrs. Zhou, I do have an aunt, but she died of illness twenty-five years ago, if I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhou seems to be only 24 years old this year?"

Even if there is no hope, but a little illusion is punctured like this, Qiao Ai's heart is still uncomfortable.

She nodded in a dry voice, "Yes." ”

Seeing Qiao Ai's extremely disappointed appearance, Gu Nan pondered for a moment and said softly: "I think that person is very important to Mrs. Zhou, I wonder if Mrs. Zhou can give me a little more clues?" ”

Qiao Ai's mouth opened slightly, and soon closed it in vain.

She shook her head slowly: "No need, I don't know if the clues I know so far are true." ”

Her mother had left too little behind.

Gu Nan and Zhou Chengyan didn't find any trace of her in City B, and Qiao Ai even suspected that maybe her mother was not from City B at all.

In the vast sea of people, where should she go to find it?

"Thank you." Qiao Ai took a deep breath and smiled at Gu Nan: "I'm in trouble today." ”

Gu Nan then stood up: "Mrs. Zhou is polite, this question is nothing to me. My Gu family still owes you three conditions. ”

Qiao Ai shook his head and said firmly: "It has been said in advance, and this question has another condition." Gu Shao rest assured, if I still need your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite. ”

She nodded lightly to Gu Nan again: "I'll leave first." ”

Qiao Ai walked out of the café, thought about it, and went back to Qiao's house.

After Qiao Lu and the others left, she asked the maid at home to put away all her mother's things and put them in the room where she lived before.

The things left behind by her mother have been destroyed by Li Lan one after another over the years, and there is not even a photo that can be used to see things and think about people, only some design drafts found from Li Lan are left.
