Chapter 23: Out of the Sea of Suffering
Qiao Ruoqing was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this matter only we know now?" I'm thinking, let's leave some mystery first, some things are made public at the beginning, then it won't be interesting, you say? ”
When she spoke, a pair of eyes kept rolling around, full of the appearance of making small calculations.
Huo Jingyuan couldn't help but start to be a little worried, just like her, she couldn't hide anything at all, could she really manage the company for her, could she live for a long time?
Although he thought so in his heart, Huo Jingyuan didn't say a word, and nodded very calmly: "Okay." ”
Seeing Huo Jingyuan so cooperative, Qiao Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Brother Huo." That...... To thank you, how about I treat you to dinner? ”
Huo Jingyuan agreed.
To be honest, he has grown so big, and this is the first time he has not been invited to dinner by a woman.
Growing so big, he hasn't eaten a cafeteria meal either, and this is the first time.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Huo Jingyuan's face was not particularly good, and he asked in a low voice: "You said you invited me to dinner, just eat this?" ”
The girl sitting opposite didn't notice his unhappiness at all, nodded and said, "Yes, our company's canteen meal is delicious, you can try it." ”
...... "Did this girl do it on purpose or intentionally?"
Seeing that Huo Jingyuan didn't move, Qiao Ruoqing smiled, "Brother Huo, haven't you eaten in this kind of place?" ”
Huo Jingyuan didn't answer.
Qiao Ruoqing actually understood that with an identity like Huo Jingyuan, he would definitely not eat in such a place.
"I have something to do later, so I can only eat here, and I will definitely treat you to a big meal if I have the chance."
"Okay." Huo Jingyuan answered, and finally picked up the chopsticks.
Glancing at Qiao Ruoqing, who was eating seriously opposite, Huo Jingyuan asked, "How is the company's affairs?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing then told Huo Jingyuan about the company's situation, and it happened that she wanted to ask Huo Jingyuan about some things, so she asked all of them at this moment.
After finishing his business, Huo Jingyuan asked about Qiao Ruoqing's arrangements for the evening.
"There's a banquet, I'm going to it." After answering Huo Jingyuan's question, Qiao Ruoqing asked in hindsight: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Huo Jingyuan didn't answer Qiao Ruoqing's question, but threw out a new question: "What banquet?" ”
"The banquet held by the chairman of the Chiba Group is in ......"
"Ocean Hotel?" Huo Jingyuan answered.
Qiao Ruoqing was a little surprised, stared at Huo Jingyuan for two seconds, and then said in a daze: "Yes, you also know?" ”
After the words were asked, Qiao Ruoqing really felt that she was stupid.
With Huo Jingyuan's identity, what did he not know about in Jiangcheng? What's more, it's a banquet held by the Chiba Group?
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qiao Ruoqing began to find face for herself, "Are you going too?" ”
"Hmm." A second later, Huo Jingyuan spoke up again: "I'll pick you up." ”
"No need." Qiao Ruoqing didn't dare to look at Huo Jingyuan, and spoke lowly.
You don't have to think about it to know that in Jiangcheng, there are very few people who dare to refuse Huo Jingyuan.
Afraid that Huo Jingyuan would misunderstand, she hurriedly said: "I'm going to do styling, so if I don't leave the company, Zhou Liang will send me over." ”
Her current boss of Huatian, of course, has to dress up to attend, not to mention, Song Mingyuan and Qiao Ruolan will also go, so she must dress up more properly, and she can't be picked out by others.
Huo Jingyuan didn't answer, and after being silent for two seconds, he looked at Qiao Ruoqing, "Where is the modeling?" ”
……
After sending Huo Jingyuan away, Qiao Ruoqing went to the place where she had made an appointment with Shi Shi, although she was in a hurry, she was still five minutes late.
Shi Shi was already waiting there, frowning slightly, looking at the phone screen from time to time, looking a little anxious.
The girl wore a light blue flowing dress, a shawl with straight hair, and a pair of round and bright eyes, exactly like the one she remembered.
Qiao Ruoqing couldn't help but redden.
Walking over slowly and sitting down in front of Shi Shi, Qiao Ruoqing's eyes were red, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Shi Shi, have you waited for a long time?" ”
Shi Shi, who was about to call Qiao Ruoqing to urge, heard this voice, and when she looked up, she saw the red eyes, and immediately slapped her mobile phone on the table, took out two tissues and handed them over, "What's wrong?" Why did you cry at a good point? Are you still thinking about Song Mingyuan's bastard? ”
Qiao Ruoqing shook her head, hugged Shi Shi into her arms, and sobbed in a low voice.
She has never dared to contact Shi Shi, because she is afraid that she will not be able to hold back, but she definitely wants to see Shi Shi, so she has been doing psychological construction for herself.
It's just that I didn't expect that after so long of construction, when this girl really appeared in front of her, she still couldn't control it.
In the last life, she hurt her, and in this life, she must protect her!
Shi Shi was pulled by Qiao Ruoqing suddenly, and the whole person was a little confused, but she reacted quickly, but did not push Qiao Ruoqing away, but patted Qiao Ruoqing's back with her palm as before, and coaxed while patting: "It's okay, Ruoqing, it's all over...... It's okay, don't cry. ”
Listening to Shi Shi's words, Qiao Ruoqing's tears became more and more fierce.
Every time she was wronged by Song Mingyuan before, when she complained to Shi Shi, Shi Shi comforted her like this, just like an old mother comforting her child.
She had no way to tell Shi Shi why she was crying, so she could only bury her head in her skirt.
After crying for a while, Qiao Ruoqing's tears stopped slightly and let Shi Shi go.
Passing the tissue to her arms, Shi Shi looked at her as she wiped her tears, and couldn't help laughing, "I said, how long have you not cried like this?" Ugly or not? ”
In the past, every time Shi Shi said that Qiao Ruoqing was ugly, she would definitely fight back.
But this time, Qiao Ruoqing not only did not fight back, but felt a lot more down-to-earth in her heart.
This person is still alive and well, still by her side, can still talk to her, and can count her down...... It's all true.
didn't hear Qiao Ruoqing agree, Shi Shi continued: "I told you a long time ago, Song Ming is far from a good thing, you don't listen...... I know you're sad about this, but it's not a bad thing for you to be able to see him for what he really is, so don't think about these unhappy things, you know? ”
Listening to the meaning of Shi Shi's words, she must have thought that she was crying so badly because she was separated from Song Mingyuan, right?
Wiping away her tears, Qiao Ruoqing threw the tissue into the trash can and glared at Shi Shi, "What else do you say, you don't go to my engagement ceremony, what kind of good friend are you?" ”
Shi Shi rolled her eyes, "I said a long time ago, if you are with Song Mingyuan, then I will not go if you are engaged or married, but fortunately, you are out of the sea of suffering!" ”
As soon as the words came out, Shi Shi discovered that something was wrong, "Isn't it?" Are you still thinking about marrying Song Mingyuan? ”
Qiao Ruoqing sneered, "I have broken up with him." ”
She said this with relief, but in Shi Shi's ears, she felt that something was wrong.
Touching his ears, Shi Shi arched his back back, and distanced himself from Qiao Ruoqing's face, "No, according to your character, break up with Song Mingyuan, can you say it so calmly?" You were crying ...... just now."
"I didn't cry for Song Mingyuan." Qiao Ruoqing calmly explained, "He doesn't deserve me to cry like that!" ”
Shi Shi touched his ears again.
How long has it been since she and Qiao Ruoqing have seen each other? How do you feel that Qiao Ruoqing seems to have changed as a different person?
In the past, as long as the topic related to Song Mingyuan was mentioned, Qiao Ruoqing's whole person seemed to be about to fly, but today...... That's not right!
However, no matter what happened, as long as Qiao Ruoqing could be separated from Song Mingyuan, she would be satisfied, and other things were not important, so she didn't say anything more about this matter, but asked about Qiao Ruoqing's injury.
"How did you get your legs? When did you get it? I haven't heard from you since the day Song Mingyuan got engaged, and I don't know anyone when I ask, but then Mr. Huo told me that I only knew that you were injured and hospitalized, go to the hospital to see you, you haven't seen me yet. Shi Shi said a little complaining.
Qiao Ruoqing held Shi Shi's hand, "I'm sorry that I couldn't see you at that time, but don't worry, my injuries are completely healed, and nothing is wrong." ”
In order to reassure Shi Shi, after Qiao Ruoqing finished speaking, she also stomped her feet.
Shi Shi nodded, "It's okay, you're going to kill me in a hurry during this time." ”
As if she suddenly remembered something, she leaned in the direction of Qiao Ruoqing, "I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Mr. Huo?" ”
I don't know if I'm afraid that other people will hear it, so when I said this, Shi Shi lowered the volume a lot.
Qiao Ruoqing's face felt a little hot for no reason, and she avoided Shi Shi's gaze, and then replied: "It's not that familiar, but I happened to meet him when I had an accident, and he saved me and put me in the hospital." ”
She said with some emotion.
Huo Jingyuan helped her again and again, this favor, I'm afraid it's not easy to repay.
When Qiao Ruoqing said this, Shi Shi hurriedly grabbed back the key point from a few minutes ago: "Then what's going on with your injury?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing looked at her legs, her eyes became a little colder, "On the day of the engagement, there was a car accident. ”
"Car accident?" Shi Shi's expression also became serious, "Ruoqing, your Uncle Chen's driving skills are very good and stable, how can it be ...... this time?"
Qiao Ruoqing shook her head, "I don't know, Uncle Chen is still in the intensive care unit now, and I don't know when he will wake up." ”
In those days in the hospital, she sometimes asked Xu Wen to accompany her to see Uncle Chen, and every time she hoped to see Uncle Chen wake up, but she was disappointed every time.
She still has a lot to ask Uncle Chen, if she continues like this, it won't work.
Shi Shi's fingertips tapped on his chin, and his eyes rolled: "By the way, I saw the video of Song Mingyuan's engagement, and the heroine on it is not you, but your sister Ruolan." Could this be her doing? Just to get engaged to Song Mingyuan instead of you? ”
Qiao Ruoqing's lowered head was raised, and she met Shi Shi's gaze, and a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, "I proposed to let Qiao Ruolan get engaged instead of me." ”
