Qiao Yunhua smiled indifferently, "After all, I am the most unsuccessful in the family, and my father scolds me less?" It's not bad this time. ”

Qiao's mother was afraid that he would be heard by someone with a heart when he said this, so she looked around and whispered, "Why do you always say these unambitious words?" Your father scolds you for your own good, if you are a little ......" Before she finished speaking, Qiao Yunhua had already changed her face, "Mother! ”

He turned to look at Qiao's mother, and saw that she was a head shorter, her posture was thin, and her beautiful eyes had faded from the past splendour, like a pool of stagnant water. Looking at himself so worriedly, he couldn't say how pitiful he was.

He sighed helplessly and said, "I know, Mother." stroked her sideburns before smiling, "My head hurts a little now, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." ”

He turned and walked up the stairs, and when he came to the bend, he looked up and saw his mother still standing in place, like a flower about to wither, dying in this rich courtyard.

He couldn't bear to look at it, and walked up to the second floor. When he returned to his room, he lay down on the bed in annoyance, loosening his neckline, only to feel a splitting headache.

The bedroom was burning with incense to help him sleep, and the bedding on the bed was soft and comfortable, he vaguely felt sleepy, but suddenly heard a knock on the door, "Er, sleep?" ”

He carefully identified it and remembered that it was Qiao Yunbai's voice. I couldn't help frowning, closing my eyes and being silent. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yunbai actually opened the door and walked in, glanced at him, and said, "You haven't seen anyone for a week, and you're drunk as soon as you get home!" ”

Qiao Yunhua couldn't listen to his lesson, so he said, "Our Qiao family only needs a well-behaved young master, why bother pulling me?" ”

Qiao Yunbai said in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel: "Second brother, why are you so unsuccessful!" Now the situation is chaotic, grandpa's position in the Congress is in jeopardy, and our Qiao clan is a fat duck in the eyes of the warlords, and they just want to eat us alive! Father is already anxious, and you plan to fool around like this all day long? ”

Qiao Yunhua couldn't help but open his eyes, turned to look at him, and saw that he was wearing a cold blue striped suit, and his face was extremely handsome, but he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which took away his handsome appearance. Looking at it like this, he is a gentle son.

In the past, I always heard my grandmother boast about him, "Look at our Yunbai, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. ”

He suddenly remembered this stubble, so he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't we Qiao still have you as a young master?" You just have to help your father and grandfather share their worries, and this Qiao family will be yours in the future. ”

Qiao Yunbai immediately frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Isn't the eldest lady afraid that I will divide the family property with my mother? When the situation became chaotic, I only left with my mother, and we broke up! Qiao Yunhua sat up straight, rubbing his eyebrows tiredly, looking indifferent.

Qiao Yunbai was silent, raised his eyes to look, and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, without the slightest blood on his face, and his partial eyes were cold and ruthless, but a glance swept over, making people feel cold when they looked at it.

He sat down on the sofa silently, and after a long while, he said, "You have compared these, but in all fairness, how has the Qiao family treated you all these years?" ”

Qiao Yunhua didn't like his tone the most, and immediately said, "You first ask the eldest lady how she treats my mother?!" ”

Turning his eyes, seeing that Qiao Yunbai was silent and did not speak, he sneered, "She is a paralyzed person, and she has endured quietly for so many years, isn't it just to make you the heir of the Qiao family?" Don't let her down! ”

Qiao Yunbai stood up suddenly, he hated others mentioning his mother in a mocking tone the most, but years of upbringing made him even angry and swallowed it gently, and only said word by word: "You are simply hopeless!" ”

Qiao Yunhua couldn't help but smile, and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm an illegitimate child, how can I compare with you, the eldest young master?" ”

Qiao Yunbai might as well say this kind of thing, and he was very angry unconsciously, "What's the point of mentioning these words?" After all, grandpa and father didn't lose you, and I also treat you as a younger brother, but you always feel that the elders in the family favor one over the other, and go against them everywhere, in all fairness, if you get along with them, will this be the situation? ”

"Don't tell me this! After all, after so many years, I have already gained a lot of money by occupying the magpie's nest, don't worry, I don't want anything from the Qiao family. Qiao Yunhua got up and walked to the bathroom, and heard Qiao Yunbai ask, "That's why you refused to get engaged to Miss Shen in the first place?" ”

Qiao Yunhua paused suddenly, there were too many emotions surging up at this moment, such as anger and anxiety, or loss? He couldn't tell. Just turned his head and said coldly, "What the hell are you doing?" It's better to mind yourself. ”

Qiao Yunbai looked at him calmly and stated the facts, "At the beginning, grandpa didn't allow you to meddle in the affairs of the Shen family, just because he was afraid that you would poke out some kind of basket when you were young and vigorous, at that time, Su Dashuai deliberately embarrassed the Shen family, and whoever came forward would be dragged into the water!" Grandpa and Father's approach was also to keep the Qiao family. ”

"Don't talk about the past!" Qiao Yunhua's expression became ugly, because the bedroom only turned on the wall lamp, he stood at the junction of half-light and half-darkness, and his handsome face was hidden in the middle, making him look more and more gloomy.

Qiao Yunbai knew that he was going to get angry the next moment, but he still said in a calm tone: "I know that you hate the Su family and Su Qibai. Now that Shen Qiangrose is married to Su Huiyi again, you hate their family even more. Can you fight him alone? After so many days in the Secret Service, isn't that a lesson enough? ”

Qiao Yunhua stood motionless, the pain of being peeled off layer by layer, this was the wound hidden in his heart, stored in the softest place in his heart, even if he touched it slightly, it was a tearing pain.

He tried his best to control his emotions and said lightly, "What do you know? Do you think everyone is like you? Living under the watchful eye of your family every day since birth? You just have to stand alone in the sun, and leave me alone! ”

"You are my younger brother, I don't care, do you want your second mother to take care of it?"

"I'm not your brother!" Qiao Yunhua roared angrily, and before he said this, he felt his fingers trembling slightly, and he slowed down a little before going straight to the bathroom. casually turned on the wall lamp, and saw that his face in the mirror was miserable and white, and his eyes revealed a numb hollowness.

He turned on the faucet and poured cold water over his face. Suddenly, he felt much clearer, but his thoughts were still mixed, which gave him a headache.

The faucet rattled in his ears, but he didn't have the heart to turn it off. His forehead hair was soaked, and when he looked up at the mirror, he found that his eyes were full of red bloodshots. looked at himself calmly like this, and unconsciously hooked his lips and laughed sarcastically.

When he went out, he saw that Qiao Yunbai still hadn't left, so he said lightly: "What time is it?" Still don't let people sleep? ”

Qiao Yunbai asked: "Tell me honestly, did you do anything when Qishao went to the front line this time?" ”

"You think too highly of me, he's so shrewd, where can I fight him? How much is it not enough? Qiao Yunhua yawned and sat down on the sofa.

Qiao Yunbai glanced at him thoughtfully, and then said: "Now the situation is uncertain, once the Su family falls, the first unlucky one is our Qiao family, I advise you not to make those small moves behind your back." ”

Qiao Yunhua smiled noncommittally, "To put it bluntly, I'm still afraid that I will affect the Qiao family, what does it matter?" If I don't do it, won't the open and secret struggle between the Su family and the Qiao family stop? ”

"Second child, to be honest, I supported you marrying Shen Qiangrose before, but sometimes I think about it, Miss Shen is kind and stubborn, if she knows what you have done, what do you think she will think of you?" Qiao Yunbai said while paying attention to his expression, and sure enough, seeing his eyebrows cold, he said, "Do you think I will care what a yellow-haired girl thinks of me?" ”

After a pause, he said, "I don't like her again!" ”

"Really? I thought she was married to Su Huiyi, but you don't feel good about it. ”

Qiao Yunhua frowned, Junxiu's face was covered with a complex and unpredictable expression, but his voice was faint, "If you have something, just say it, don't keep mentioning these irrelevant things." ”

"I heard that Miss Shen is not having a good time in the Overseer's Mansion, after all, the water of the Su family is so deep, she is a little girl, and she may drown herself at some point. I know that according to your temperament, I won't ignore her, but there is some measure, you have to take care of it. ”

Qiao Yunbai paused slightly, "After all, she is already married to Qishao." ”

The corners of Qiao Yunhua's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't speak. Qiao Yunbai unconsciously slowed down his tone, "Second brother, it's time for you to take care of yourself." With that, he strode out.

The room was silent for a moment, because the curtains were not drawn, Qiao Yunhua's figure was projected on the glass, he sat motionless on the sofa, and the wind seemed to be blowing outside, and the wind could be faintly heard.

There was a neon flash in the distance, but it was a boring and erosive drunken dream. The snow fell in the sky, gently hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the dark night, like pearls.

After a long time, he moved consciously, got up and walked to the window, and saw that the huge garden was white, and there was a flower house built on the other side.

The whole flower room is surrounded by white glass, and there are several pots of daffodils in it, and a few pots of junzi orchids, all of which are blooming purple and red.

The lights were on in the garden, and Qiao's house was silent, and he only felt that it was extremely quiet, as if he couldn't even find a trace of popularity. couldn't help but be proud, walked over and lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, on one side was his mother's mournful appearance, and on the other side was Shen Qiangrose's stubborn and cold face.

He remembered what Su Qibai said to his mother, "Where did the wild child come from?!" Recognize me as a father! If I write him, an unclear child, into the family tree of the Su family, wouldn't it make the whole world laugh at him?! ”

He clenched his palms unconsciously, Su Qibai, if you don't recognize me, then I'll let you die!
