Qiao Ruoqing didn't believe Huo Jingyuan, so she took a blank invitation and handed it to him, "I watched you write." ”

"......" Huo Jingyuan had no choice, so he wrote an invitation to Xia Zhu in front of Qiao Ruoqing.

Not only that, Qiao Ruoqing also called Xia Zhi and personally invited him to come over to Huo Jingyuan's birthday party.

For this reason, Xia Zhu was a little flattered, and asked half-jokingly: "Mr. Qiao, you called me about this matter, does Mr. Huo know?" ”

He and Huo Jingyuan have always been at odds with each other, although there is cooperation, but they see each other very rarely, and they don't deal with each other if they can.

Huo Jingyuan didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to see Huo Jingyuan.

Life is too short, so why bother making yourself uncomfortable?

But if you can go to Huo Jingyuan's birthday banquet to add to his blockage, it would be good.

Qiao Ruoqing couldn't say it too directly, so she replied: "I know, he asked me to call you." ”

"Really?" Xia stopped laughing, very happy.

Hanging up the phone, Xia stopped back on the couch.

Xia Mingsheng wore reading glasses and watched "Water Margin" in a wheelchair.

Seeing that Xia stopped coming back, he closed the book and put it aside, took off his glasses and asked, "What did she say?" ”

Xia Zhu put the phone back in his pocket, "Say that Huo Jingyuan will have a birthday next month, let me go." ”

Helping Xia Mingsheng pull the blanket and cover his legs, Xia stopped raising his eyes and asked him, "Dad, you haven't been to Jiangcheng for a long time, right?" Do you want to take a trip? ”

Xia Mingsheng pinched the bridge of his nose, and the sunlight came in from the window, hitting half of his body, but he looked a little tired.

"I'm not going, you can prepare a birthday gift for Huo Jingyuan."

Regarding Xia Mingsheng's instructions, Xia Zhu never dared to take it lightly.

"I know, Dad, don't worry." Xia stopped softly responding.

This year is Huo Jingyuan's thirtieth birthday.

Xia Mingsheng's leg has been useless for thirty-one years.

You have to make Huo Jingyuan's life unforgettable.

……

Qiao Ruoqing also left an invitation to Uncle Wang, which she personally sent back.

It was drizzling that day, Xu Wen parked the car, held an umbrella, and carefully helped Qiao Ruoqing down from the back seat.

At that time, Alain was standing in the courtyard, without an umbrella or raincoat, just standing in a maid's suit, holding a kettle in his hand, watering the flowers.

"Alain." Qiao Ruoqing called her.

Hearing the voice, Alan seemed to be stunned for a moment, turned around, and after seeing Qiao Ruoqing, his eyes widened a little.

Putting down the kettle, Alan almost ran to Qiao Ruoqing, she stretched out her hand to help Qiao Ruoqing, and thought that she had been standing outside for too long, and her body was cold, so she retracted her hand.

Qiao Ruoqing asked her with a smile: "It's raining today, why are you still watering the flowers?" ”

Alan didn't answer, just gestured and said that he didn't know that Qiao Ruoqing was coming, so he didn't make snacks in advance.

Qiao Ruoqing was held by Xu Wen with one hand, and wanted to hold Lan with the other, but Alan avoided her, she didn't mind, and explained: "I'm not here to get snacks, I'm here to find Uncle Wang, is Uncle Wang here?" ”

Alain nodded, and then ran ahead.

It was raining, the yard was full of mud, Alan ran in front, did not change his shoes, left dirty and yellow footprints on the clean ground, Qiao Ruoqing didn't say anything, just called another servant and asked her to mop the ground.

Uncle Wang came out quickly, obviously he had only seen it not long ago, but when he met today, Qiao Ruoqing felt that Uncle Wang seemed to be a lot older, and even had more gray hair than before.

"Miss, why are you back today? Didn't tell me in advance. Glancing outside, Uncle Wang said again, "It's so cold today, it's still raining, and you're still pregnant, why don't you pay attention to it?" ”

What if something happens?

Qiao Ruoqing didn't mind, shook her head with a smile, then took out the invitation card from her bag and handed it to Uncle Wang's hands with both hands, "Uncle Wang, Jingyuan's birthday is two weeks away, you must go then." ”

Alan stood behind the corner not far away, listening to Qiao Ruoqing's words.

Uncle Wang looked at the invitation card with the big red bronzing pattern in Qiao Ruoqing's hand, and was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, but he didn't answer, just asked, "Miss, I'll go...... Isn't it a bit out of place? ”

He is getting older, his movements are not as sharp as before, his waist is bent, his back is lumped, his gray hair is getting more and more day by day, and the whole person looks very old.

"Uncle Wang, you are my mother's family, you have to help me support the field when the time comes." Qiao Ruoqing said.

She was a bit joking, but more than that, it was sad.

Her parents are gone, and although she has an uncle, she is also abroad, and she has no other relatives. Everybody reads

Although Uncle Wang is only the housekeeper of the family, he has watched her grow up for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is her mother's family.

Listening to Qiao Ruoqing's words, Uncle Wang's cloudy eyes were a little red and moist, "Miss, you ......"

"I've told you so many times that you can just call me by my name." Qiao Ruoqing interrupted her, "Otherwise, I always feel angry." ”

Uncle Wang wiped the corners of his eyes with a trembling hand, obediently called Qiao Ruoqing's name, and asked Qiao Ruoqing about her recent situation.

In the past, Jiang Shuyi was always unwell when she was pregnant with Qiao Ruoqing, so Uncle Wang was always worried.

Before leaving, Qiao Ruoqing looked around, but didn't see Alain, so she said to Uncle Wang: "When I came here today, I saw Alain watering the flowers outside, if she does this again in the future, what if she gets sick again?" ”

Uncle Wang also felt that Alan seemed to be a little strange recently, he didn't know where to get a flower seed, so he planted it in the yard, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy, he had to water it every day, he said it a few times, but Alan didn't listen.

However, in order not to worry Qiao Ruoqing, Uncle Wang didn't say these words, but just nodded, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

……

Huo's.

Mencius Zhao sat opposite Huo Jingyuan, flipping through the documents and humming a small tune in his mouth, so happy that he couldn't do it.

Since he got married, his whole body seems to have fallen into the spring water and rolled around, rippling very much.

Huo Jingyuan was upset and irritable when he heard this, and casually took a pen and threw it towards Meng Zizhao, "Shut up." ”

Mencius Zhao easily caught the pen, but he didn't mean to shut up at all, but this time he stopped humming the tune, and changed his speech: "Jing Yuan, I haven't seen you hold a birthday banquet since I was twelve years old, and the coming-of-age ceremony of that year was only simple, what's wrong this time?" Sure enough, he stood at thirty, thinking about telling the world? ”

Huo Jingyuan glared at him, but his tone was very casual, "My wife is pregnant, so everyone has to know her." ”

Meng Zizhao sneered, "Your family is really enough, although you and Qiao Ruoqing didn't have a wedding, but once there is any banquet party, you must take Qiao Ruoqing out to introduce her, even if she is not present, there is still anyone in the whole Jiangcheng who doesn't know that she is your wife?" Is it necessary for you to do this? ”

In Mencius Zhao's view, Huo Jingyuan's approach is simply taking off his pants and farting, which is too much.

However, Huo Jingyuan didn't take it to heart.

The phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, it was a message from Qiao Ruoqing, and there was no content, just an emoji.

He also replied with an emoji, and he was in a very good mood, so he said to Mencius: "She is my wife, what do others know?" ”

Mencius Zhao was not convinced, "I also have a wife, and I don't love Xian as much as you." ”

Huo Jingyuan retorted to him: "My wife is pregnant. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Mencius Zhao.

The meaning is obvious, showing off.

Mencius was so angry that he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Isn't it just pregnant? He will work harder when he goes back tonight, maybe Yao Shuangshuang will be able to conceive tonight, and Huo Jingyuan will still be able to sigh when the time comes?

After reading the documents in his hand, there was no problem, Mencius signed his name and threw it in front of Huo Jingyuan, "Sign." ”

Huo Jingyuan looked at it roughly, and signed.

Mencius Zhao's temperament was originally loose, but now that the work is finished, he is even more casual, the whole person is paralyzed in the chair as if he has no bones, and he lazily looks at Huo Jingyuan and asks: "I heard that your wife cooperated with TL in Yangcheng on a fund project?" How's it going? ”

"Why do you ask this?" Huo Jingyuan asked while staring at the computer.

Qiao Ruoqing found someone to be in charge of that project, and Huo Jingyuan was not worried, so he didn't care about it and didn't ask much.

I didn't expect Mencius Zhao to ask today, I haven't seen him pay so much attention to these things before.

"It's nothing, it's just curious." Meng Zizhao turned his pen, and his eyes glanced at Huo Jingyuan's body for a while, "Don't you like Xia Zhu?" He doesn't look like such a spineless person who will give your wife favors to please you? ”

Although he has never dealt with Xia Zhu, he has seen it once or twice when he is socializing, and he always feels that the person has a gloomy face, although he always has a smile on his face, but the emotions in his eyes are not easy for ordinary people to see.

Huo Jingyuan's fingers tapped on the keyboard to reply to the email, and his eyes did not leave the computer screen at all, "He helps my wife make money, I can't ask for it." ”

And Cheng Han checked the summer stop twice, but he didn't find any problems, and TL was the same, so he was also relieved.

It's just that I still feel uncomfortable when I see that person.

Hearing Huo Jingyuan say this, Mencius Zhao didn't say anything anymore, and just as he got up and was about to go out, he saw the office door open.

Then, Qiao Ruoqing walked in from outside.

"Yo, my sister-in-law is here!" Mencius Zhao arrived in front of Qiao Ruoqing with a hippie smile on his face, his expression was very wavering, "Why don't you say hello in advance if you want to come to Chagang?" If the matter between me and Jing Yuan is not over, how embarrassing would it be? ”

Huo Jingyuan, who has always been calm about everything, grabbed a pen from the pen holder and threw it at Meng Zizhao, hitting the back of Meng Zizhao's head.

Then, in a low tone, he shouted, "Get out!" ”

Meng Zizhao was smashed, raised his hand and grabbed the back of his head, and looked at Huo Jingyuan with a sad face, "Brother, why are you like this?" You didn't do that to me in bed just now! ”

Huo Jingyuan's face darkened.
