Chapter 380: Persuasion of Peace
Mrs. Xia heard Sheng Lezhan talk to Qiao Nuo as soon as she came, and patted him on the arm, "Le Zhan, what are you doing here?" I'm chatting with Miss Joe......"
"Auntie, it's better for you to stay away from this person." Sheng Lezhan helped Mrs. Xia to stand up from the chair, "This woman is not a good person. ”
Jono took a sip of his coffee.
As long as he sees her, Sheng Lezhan will always be like this, as if he wants to strangle her to death immediately.
Qiao Nuoan sat quietly and drank coffee, but Mrs. Xia stopped and glared at Sheng Lezhan, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Miss Qiao is such a good person, I don't allow you to say that about her! ”
"Auntie......"
"Don't talk about it, Miss Qiao has helped me." Mrs. Xia said very seriously.
Qiao Nuo didn't want Mrs. Xia to have any misunderstanding about Sheng Lezhan because of her relationship, so she hurriedly smiled at her, "It's okay, Mrs. Xia, there is a little misunderstanding between me and Mr. Sheng......
"Joono, I don't need you to speak for me." Sheng Lezhan interrupted Qiao Nuo's words, looking unappreciative.
Mrs. Xia slapped Sheng Lezhan's arm again, and the force was a little heavier than just now, "Le Zhan, Miss Qiao helped you speak, why is your attitude so bad?" You kid, you've always been like this, don't talk to Miss Qiao like that! ”
After teaching Sheng Lezhan a lesson, Mrs. Xia looked at Qiao Nuo again, with a smile on her face, "Miss Qiao, I just talked about what happened just now, you don't have to take it to heart, it's okay." Le Zhan knew that I was here, so he came to pick me up, so I left first. ”
After finishing speaking, he thanked Qiao Nuo several times in succession, and then reluctantly left.
Sheng Lezhan helped Mrs. Xia away, and before leaving the café, he turned back and gave Qiao Nuo a warning look.
After Mrs. Xia left, Jono sat alone in the café for a long time.
She originally wanted to help Mrs. Xia, she thought Mrs. Xia was a very good person, and she could also see that Xia Tang actually cared about her family very much.
Xia Tang is her friend, so she also hopes that Xia Tang can be well.
It's just that if you tell Xia Tang directly in that case, it may not work, after all, she doesn't know what kind of character Xia Tang is.
……
This weekend, Xia Tang had a rare rest at home.
Her work is special, there are generally no weekends, especially after the past few years, her ability has been recognized, and there are many old customers, so she is even busier, and even has less time to rest.
So when she had time to rest, she basically snuggled up on the sofa in the living room and didn't go anywhere.
When Qiao Nuo came over, she was curled up in the sofa eating potato chips and watching TV, and the little apprentice next to her, Meng Meng, was cleaning diligently.
As soon as he saw Qiao Nuo coming, Meng Meng immediately straightened his waist, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and asked with a smile: "Miss Qiao, are you here?" Master is here! ”
As he spoke, he drew his hand to the couch.
Xia Tang lifted her eyelids, and when she saw Qiao Nuo, she immediately threw the potato chips aside and beckoned to her, "You're here, come on, come on, chat with me, I'm almost bored to death!" ”
Qiao Nuo was a little incomprehensible, and glanced at Meng Meng next to him who began to work again.
Knowing what Qiao Nuo meant, Xia Tang hurriedly explained: "It's none of my business, I didn't ask her to do it, she herself had to shout to help me with housework as soon as she came, and she couldn't stop it!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't forget to say two words to Meng Meng: "You slow down, don't get hurt again!" If you can't finish it, find your aunt, what a big deal, you have to do it yourself! ”
Meng Meng laughed "hee-hee", said "I can do it", and then bent down to continue working.
Xia Tang's brows furrowed when he saw it, but he still couldn't help but give Qiao Nuo a thumbs up, "No way, my little apprentice is diligent!" ”
In a blink of an eye, seeing that Qiao Nuo's face seemed to be a little wrong, he immediately pulled the person to the sofa and sat down, cross-legged and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something happening again? Why do you have this expression? ”
Without waiting for Jono to answer, she jumped up from the couch, "Is someone using your photo as a demon again?" Who is it? You tell me, I'm going to clean him up! It just so happens that I'm in a bad mood for the past two days......"
"Nothing." Jono pulled Xia Tang and pulled her back to the couch, "I just went to see my mom come back." ”
Xia Tang was stunned and understood.
The relationship between Jono and her mother is relatively good, and it was because her mother died that she was depressed for a long time, so I must have felt very uncomfortable when I went to see her at the cemetery today.
patted Qiao Nuo's shoulder, Xia Tang comforted: "It's okay, it's all over, Auntie is now watching you from the sky with your uncle, you have to be good, you know?" ”
Jono nodded, looking down at his knees.
Seeing that Qiao Nuo was sad, Xia Tang reached out and held her hand tightly in his hand.
Qiao Nuo also understood what Xia Tang meant, held her hand with his backhand, and said softly: "Xia Tang, do you know? In the past, when my parents were still there, they hurt me the most, although we also quarreled, but after each quarrel, we quickly reconciled. My marriage with Mo Shaosi was arranged for me by my parents, although Mo Shaosi is not a good person, but my parents were also deceived by him at the beginning, thinking that he could take good care of me for a lifetime, but they didn't expect it...... That said, but I never blamed them. ”
Xia Tang didn't know how to comfort Qiao Nuo, so he could only hold her hand and didn't speak.
Thinking of those warm pictures with his parents before, Jono's eyes turned a little red, "I hope to be able to quarrel with them again now, and then go to coax them, but unfortunately, it is impossible again, I will never see them again." Xia Tang, do you know, in fact, I envy you so much, your parents are still ......"
When he heard Qiao Nuo speak, he cried, and Xia Tang's heart also felt uncomfortable, and he stopped: "Don't talk about it......"
In fact, listening to what Jono said just now, she also thought of her parents.
She often quarreled with her parents over work, and no one apologized to anyone.
A few days ago, I heard that they came to see her from the capital, and at first she thought that only her mother had come, and she wanted to see her, but later she learned that her father had also come.
Since a few years ago, the pattern between her and her father has changed to arguing as soon as they meet.
The client that day was very important to her, so she didn't show up, and directly asked the security guard to ask them to leave, and she didn't contact them later.
It's been two days, so I guess they've already gone back to the capital, right?
Xia Tang sighed.
I really want to eat my mother's cooking, and I don't know when I will be able to sit together as a family and have a lively reunion dinner as before.
When Qiao Nuo turned his head, he saw that Xia Tang's face was not very good, and he was thoughtful.
After hesitating for a moment, she still said, "A few days ago, I saw your mother. ”
Xia Tang was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Qiao Nuo.
Facing Xia Tang's puzzled gaze, Qiao Nuo continued: "I haven't told you all along, in fact, I met my aunt when I was in the capital, and my aunt encountered a little trouble at that time......"
Xia Tang immediately became nervous, grabbed Qiao Nuo's hand tightly, and even pinched her a little painfully, "What's the trouble?" ”
Sensing Xia Tang's emotions, Qiao Nuo patted the back of her hand as if soothing, "It's just a small trouble, it's been solved." But you see, in fact, you also care about your uncles and aunts, so why don't you see them? ”
Xia Tang was silent for a moment and slumped his shoulders, "I happened to be working that day, and it was not appropriate for them to go...... Later, I thought about calling them, but after thinking about it, I forgot about it. ”
Sighing heavily, Xia Tang said again: "Anyway, they don't understand my work, no matter how much I say, it's useless, it's still quarrelsome." After so many years, I'm tired to death. ”
She put a pillow in her arms, lowered her head, and buried her face in the soft pillow, as if hoping to isolate all worries in this way.
But where is it so easy to get rid of all troubles?
"The last time I met my aunt in the capital, my aunt was buying you cosmetics."
Xia Tang's back stiffened, although it was only a short moment, and the amplitude was not large, but it was still looked at by Qiao Nuo.
So, Jono continued: "At that time, my aunt didn't have any money on her, and she didn't know how to pay with her mobile phone, so she wanted the people in the store to leave those cosmetics for her, but the store didn't agree, so she had to settle the bill immediately, otherwise she would sell them to others." Auntie said that those cosmetics are what you are used to, and I was so anxious that I was sweating...... My aunt told me that the reason why my uncle came to Jiangcheng this time was because he wanted to come by himself, ostensibly to come here to inspect the project, but in fact, he wanted to come and see you...... So you see, they all love you very much, but they express it in different ways. ”
Xia Tang tilted his head, half of his face was against the pillow, and he looked at Qiao Nuo's gaze with some resentment.
After a long time, she asked, "How many benefits did my mother give you to make you this lobbyist?" ”
"...... "No, Xia Tang's expression, how can he say such a thing?" She's obviously very touched!
Before Qiao Nuo could answer, the little apprentice Meng Meng had already walked over, looking a little timid, raised his hand and said, "Master, maybe my uncle and aunt haven't returned to the capital yet, do you want to call them?" ”
Xia Tang glared at Meng Meng quickly, and the meaning was very clear: nosy.
But Meng Meng didn't mind at all, and after shrinking his neck, he said cowardly: "You obviously miss them very much, since that's the case, why don't you see them?" It's good to find a chance to explain all the misunderstandings! Otherwise, if you are like Miss Qiao......"
Looking at Qiao Nuo with some apologies, Meng Meng continued: "Miss Qiao also misses her parents, but she can't see them now, so it's better to get along now......"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Little crow's mouth! Xia Tang said as he picked up a pillow and threw it towards Meng Meng.
Meng Meng also knew that what he said just now was not very good, and he was a little offended by the elders, so he lowered his head, let the pillow hit his head, picked it up from the ground again, and patted the dust, "Master, I'm just giving an example, I'm also doing this for your good, and I don't want you to leave regrets." ”
Looking at Meng Meng's aggrieved appearance, Xia Tang pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
