Chapter 146: The Past Is Like the Wind
"Mr. An, if one day, I have nothing, will you still be by my side?"
Qiao Wenhan came out of this sentence coldly, and An Xiaoxi was a little confused.
"What's that?"
An Xiaoxi smiled, turned his head and looked at Qiao Wenhan, this man's state today is not quite right, he is still in a straight suit, and he is still elegant, what is the awkwardness that can't be said.
After saying this, An Xiaoxi cleared her throat.
"You have nothing, I'll raise you, ok?"
With a serious expression, Qiao Wenhan burst out laughing. These days, he rarely laughs, and An Xiaoxi is indeed a magical existence that makes him laugh.
"Silly girl, do I still want you to raise it?"
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Wenhan's mouth.
Images of the past kept flashing in my mind.
The heavy rain that day, the encounter with An Xiaoxi at the night market that day, the bowl of fried rice that was not a success, and the attraction that An Xiaoxi exuded.
In this life, I am afraid that I will be planted in the hands of this little girl, who knows that Qiao Wenhan, who is invincible, will be subdued by such a woman? Things in the world are really unpredictable. For example, the seemingly brilliant family business can actually be grasped too little.
"Goo......
An Xiaoxi's stomach screamed uncontrollably, obviously he had just finished lunch, and now he started to make noise again, not because he was hungry, but because his stomach was not very comfortable, it was this embarrassing grunt that made Qiao Wenhan's eyes smile into crescent moons.
"I said, Mr. An, you still have to do big things with me, you didn't take two steps before you were hungry, I can't afford to support it......"
An Xiaoxi's face was red and white for a while, the stomach was making trouble on the one hand, and Qiao Wenhan's ridicule was on the other, but somehow, he couldn't get angry.
was about to choke back on the organization language, when suddenly Qiao Wenhan braked suddenly, startling her.
"Bang!" It must have hit something.
"Don't move in the car, I'll go down and take a look."
An Xiaoxi's stomach was even more uncomfortable, she wanted to vomit, but Qiao Wenhan's expression made her uneasy, saying that she was asking her not to get out of the car, and she was worried that something would happen to Qiao Wenhan, the location of Qiao Mansion was relatively remote, and she had to drive through a large area of private woodland to get to the main line, and there were too many places to do it.
Every second in the car, An Xiaoxi felt tormented.
With a "bang", Qiao Wenhan closed the door and almost fell into the car, and the long legs that had nowhere to be placed seemed to be a little cramped in the driver's seat.
"What's wrong? Did you hit something? ”
An Xiaoxi couldn't hide her concern, but Qiao Wenhan turned his head and smiled.
"Nothing, let's go."
The more he said this, the more suspicious An Xiaoxi became, the tremor just now was clearly the drag caused by the car hitting something.
"Qiao Wenhan, don't hide it from me!"
Regardless of the unhappiness of his body, An Xiaoxi slammed open the door and went down to check.
There was no blood, no obstruction, not even a few dead leaves.
But I obviously had such a strong feeling just now, could it really be my own delusion?
The car continued to drive, and the two were silent.
As if he had made an appointment, An Xiaoxi no longer continued to ask Qiao Wenhan what he saw when he got out of the car, because Qiao Wenhan's unnatural expression had already explained everything. And Qiao Wenhan didn't mention it, he knew that thing was something that An Xiaoxi could never see.
……
"Jingle Bell ......" a rapid phone rings.
"Hello, this is Su Zhai, who are you looking for?"
The housekeeper picked up the phone, and the other party hung up when he heard it.
It's really confusing.
A few minutes later, there was another hurried ringing, and the butler answered politely again, but hung up as soon as he connected.
It was a strange thing, and the butler told the mistress about it. When Su Chenfeng's frail mother heard this, she asked the housekeeper not to answer later, and she answered it directly.
This mysterious call was obviously aimed at her.
"Hello?"
Su's mother dragged her sick tail note, and her voice was not very powerful.
The other party didn't hang up, but as if waiting to confirm some syllables, waiting for Su's mother to say a few more words.
"Hello? This is Su House, who are you looking for? ”
As soon as Su's mother said half a sentence, the cool breeze outside the window poured in, stimulating her respiratory tract, coughing softly, covering the telephone receiver, for fear of causing trouble to the other party.
"You're still like this, don't pay attention to your ......"
As if lightning passed through her body, Su's mother trembled unconsciously.
The voice on the phone couldn't be more familiar, but it was so far away that she couldn't believe her ears, for fear that this aging organ, like other body parts, would be disobedient and give her the wrong message.
"It's me."
It was an adult man's voice, a little deep and deep, and it sounded quite old. The word "it's me" was like a switch, which suddenly unscrewed the floodgates of Su's mother's tears.
"Yes...... You? ”
With a trembling voice, the sick body couldn't help but clench the blanket wrapped around his body tighter.
"You're not...... Already ......"
Su's mother couldn't go on, her tears were very uncompromising, and she didn't want the other party to find herself crying on the other end of the phone.
She once swore that she would never cry for this man again, but as soon as this long-awaited voice came, the tear ducts were automatically activated.
She carefully hid her tears and self-esteem, not wanting to be looked down upon by him.
"I'm back, I'm not dead."
"I want to see you......"
The man's tone was not too sure, he didn't know whether the grudge he had with this woman back then could be exchanged for the qualification to meet once.
"No!"
Su's mother refused categorically. Don't turn around and wipe the tears from your cheeks.
"I'm fine now, I still have an excellent son, I'm fine, please don't come and disturb our life again!"
Su's mother has always been a gentle and tranquil woman, and it is the first time she has spoken so loudly.
"Son?"
The man paused.
"So, we still have ......"
"Doodoo ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Su's mother hung up the phone, unplugged the phone line, the thin blanket on her body slipped off, the hateful cool breeze hit again, her nose was sour, and the tears of anger couldn't stop flowing.
"God, why did you do this to me?"
Covering her face with her hands and slumping on the floor, Su's mother couldn't cry. I was locked up in my room alone, and I didn't go out for dinner.
The window was wide open, as if the annoying cool breeze could blow away the uneasiness in her heart.
……
Su Chenfeng, who was far away in Sydney, didn't know anything at the moment, he only knew that his grandfather had done something sorry for their Su family, and soon after, even the last bit of property would be taken back by the Qiao family.
Nothing but the mother.
The only thing he misses now is his mother. Although Old Man Qiao told him that his biological father was still alive in the world, this father-son relationship that had not been placed for twenty years was too illusory.
He didn't feel it, he didn't even know what kind of attitude he would have to greet this "father" if he stood in front of him at this moment, whether he would shake hands, hug, or cry.
……
The regular meeting of the board of directors was full of fire, and investors complained one after another.
Qiao Wenhan explained them one by one and refuted them one by one. finally won a little respite for the Jinqiao Group in the wind and rain.
Old man Qiao's side he didn't want to be alarmed, the last wedding incident had already disgraced his old man, and he believed that he could handle it this time. The most important thing at the moment is to find Su Chenfeng.
The secretariat came and found out Su Chenfeng's flight information.
I was in Sydney, I went alone, I didn't buy a return ticket, and I didn't transfer to other places.
After settling these annoying old men on the board, Qiao Wenhan still has to go to Australia, he can't stand the betrayal of his loved ones, it feels too bad.
There was no spare time in my mind in the afternoon, so I contacted the PR team to leak some good information to the media, and rushed to stabilize today's stock price before the market closed. The moment he turned off the computer, the huge floor-to-ceiling window had been replaced by the night scene.
This prosperity doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, and there are still people working hard for their careers on the floors of the building opposite where the lights are still on. They don't know that they are nothing more than ants. At that moment, Qiao Wenhan felt that he was extremely small, and he was also an ant, unable to resist the curse and teasing of fate.
"I didn't have enough time, so I made you something to eat."
When An Xiaoxi pushed the door and came in, there were only a few desk lamps on in the president's office. Qiao Wenhan has always liked to be lively, but today he is unusually calm.
She was the only one who could meet Qiao Wenhan directly without going through the secretariat, and it was such a privilege that made their relationship often full of surprises. Qiao Wenhan likes to receive surprises from An Xiaoxi. Her sudden appearance represents relaxation and peace.
"Yo! Mr. An personally cooked? It's been a long time since I've tasted Mr. An's craftsmanship. ”
Qiao Wenhan deliberately teased An Xiaoxi with a ridiculous flirtation, but this was a bit of a cover-up, his eyes were so tired, An Xiaoxi couldn't even bear to talk back.
"Let's eat."
For Qiao Wenhan's cloth dishes, delicate side dishes and light snacks, Qiao Wenhan could see that An Xiaoxi must have worked hard to prepare these within an hour. He pulled her into his arms and sat down directly in front of him.
An Xiaoxi did not resist this sudden intimacy.
"Thank you. Brook. ”
Qiao Wenhan closed his eyes, his long eyelashes flickering, like a child.
An Xiaoxi raised her hand, gently brushed off his bangs, and gave him a kiss. A heartfelt kiss that represents her care and energy. I hope Qiao Wenhan can feel it.
"I really want to eat fried rice today, the kind I ate when I first met you."
It just so happened that there was a small plate on the table, and An Xiaoxi signaled with his eyes that the fried rice was there.
"Coincidentally, I also want to eat fried rice today. I've been eating so fine lately that I can't digest it......"
An Xiaoxi rubbed her belly, and she didn't know what was wrong, but recently she made an appointment to her.
"Before I eat, I want to eat ......"
Before she finished speaking, Qiao Wenhan's warm palm dragged An Xiaoxi's head, she couldn't move, and she didn't want to dodge at all.
A kiss, on this lonely and eventful night, is enough to heal two tired hearts.
An Xiaoxi hugged Qiao Wenhan, accidentally poked his hand into his jacket pocket, and found a note.
