Chapter 147: Opportunity
Li Xueqing thought of this, and suddenly wanted to beat up her previous self.
Qiao Ling'er, who has money in the family and has a good brain, didn't look for it, but came all the way to find Zhang Qiaoqiao? Is she crazy?
Li Xueqing was still walking on the way back, she looked up, it was not early now, and there was definitely no time to go to Qiao's house to find Qiao Ling'er today.
What's more, although she thought of cooperating with Qiao Ling'er, Li Xueqing didn't know what the other party thought, what if she was as unwilling as Zhang Qiaoqiao?
Li Xueqing thought about it, Zhang Qiaoqiao was reluctant just because she was afraid of Li Xueyan, because she was humiliated again and again, so she didn't want to experience similar things again. But Qiao Ling'er is different, Qiao Ling'er has a good family background, and she has participated in dealing with Li Xueyan before, although she failed, but she didn't have as many times as Zhang Qiaoqiao, and she didn't suffer as much as she was hit.
So Li Xueqing thought, if you want to get Qiao Linger's help, it shouldn't be a particularly difficult thing, right?
But it's not for sure...... Li Xueqing sighed.
It was Li Xueqing who started to look for Qiao Ling'er, and it was originally said that the two of them would work together to deal with Li Xueyan. But no matter what they did, they never succeeded.
Li Xueqing remembered that she went to Qiao Ling'er once later, when Duan Yunfei hadn't gone to Qiao's house to withdraw from the marriage with great fanfare, but at that time, Qiao Ling'er had no intention of interacting with her anymore.
Because Li Xueqing went to look for her at that time, she made an excuse not to see her.
Li Xueqing returned to the house and lay on the bed, staring at the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, planning one idea after another in her heart, and eliminating them one by one.
Troubles that are too easy to solve are not troublesome for Li Xueyan. She didn't know what Li Xueyan was capable of, how could she just turn the danger into a disaster every time?
Li Xueqing pondered here, Qiao Ling'er was also lying on her big bed, and it was still difficult to fall asleep.
Qiao Linger felt that she would go crazy if she continued like this.
She remembered that she seemed to have noticed that Duan Yunfei had the consciousness of retiring from marriage, or that it was earlier than that, and it was difficult to fall asleep every night. Although Qiao Ling'er has been pampered since she was a child and grew up in the palm of her hand, every time she encounters Duan Yunfei's matter, she is particularly insecure.
Growing up, Qiao Linger remembered that she had almost no worries, and there was never anything that bothered her to the point that she couldn't sleep.
The first time she had insomnia since she was a child, she learned from others that Duan Yunfei was mixed with a woman who sold zongzi.
Qiao Ling'er remembered that she was very angry at the time, and she wanted to question why Duan Yunfei did this, and wanted to ask him if he had taken her as a fiancΓ©e in his eyes.
But when she was about to go out, she was stopped by her parents.
Her mother told her that girls should learn to be gentle and measured, so that men would like it. If she always went to Duan Yunfei to theorize as soon as she noticed something was wrong, then Duan Yunfei would only dislike her. Even if you have a crush on her, you will be impatient if you always do this.
Qiao Ling'er didn't listen to this kind of talk at first, she felt that this was a woman's cowardly approach.
But later, not only her mother said so, but even her father persuaded her to monitor men less and be more free, so that she would be more likable.
In this way, Qiao Linger has nothing to say, after all, her father is also a man, and she believes her father's statement.
At that time, everyone in the Qiao family, including Qiao Ling'er, thought that Duan Yunfei's attention to the girl who sold zongzi was just out of curiosity. Even if he left it alone, as long as after a while, his interest faded, and naturally he wouldn't look at the woman who came out halfway anymore.
But that night, Qiao Linger had insomnia. I don't know why, she always feels that things are not so simple in her heart, it may be due to her lack of confidence in herself, or it may be because of her distrust of Duan Yunfei.
Qiao Linger knew since she was a child that she would one day become Duan Yunfei's wife, but she never believed that Duan Yunfei also liked her.
It's more just self-deception.
When Qiao Ling'er really started to take a long time to fall asleep every night, or couldn't sleep all night, it was from the first time Duan Yunfei officially proposed to withdraw from the marriage. When that day came, Qiao Ling'er felt in her heart that she didn't know what it was.
It's as if we knew that this day would come, and as if we hoped that this day would never come, but it still came.
The sad sense of powerlessness made her helpless.
Later, Duan Yunfei personally came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, looking for a token of their family's resignation, Qiao Linger seemed to grasp the last straw, desperately guarding her only bargaining chip.
But in the end, the chip was given away by herself.
If you are destined to lose, no matter how many things you have, you will not be able to win in the end. Because Duan Yunfei was not standing in the middle between her and Li Xueyan at all.
She took a step towards Duan Yunfei, and Duan Yunfei would take two steps back.
Even if Li Xueyan stood still and didn't move, Duan Yunfei would come to her side in the end. Qiao Linger thought clearly, the love she wanted was not like this, and it was useless for two people to chase the love of one person alone.
The next day.
"Ling'er, what are you...... How can it be like this again, alas. When Qiao's mother saw Qiao Ling'er in the morning, she was surprised by her dark circles and sallow face, and she was anxious and distressed.
Qiao Ling'er smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine." β
"And say it's okay, why don't you look in the mirror to see what you look like now? You have a bad complexion, like you haven't slept in hundreds of years. I don't want to go back and rest for a while, I don't have much to do today anyway. Seeing that Qiao Ling'er's attitude was okay, Qiao's mother couldn't help but say a lot at once.
This made Qiao Ling'er couldn't help frowning, she knew very well what she was looking like now. Her mother's concern only made her feel irritable, even if she knew in her heart that she was kind.
"No, you don't."
"But you don't ...... like that"
"Mother." Qiao Ling'er's tone finally became cold, "I said it, no need." β
Qiao's mother remembered that Qiao Ling'er's mood had been unstable for a while, and she was nagging so much one after another, I was afraid that it would make her unhappy again.
Seeing that the expression on her mother's face changed from concern to loss, Qiao Linger didn't know what to say anymore, so she simply shut up and left.
Such a trivial matter made her even more irritable.
I know in my heart that her mother cares about her and has good intentions, and she should accept it as a daughter and should not complain about anything.
But when she was really faced with her endless nagging, Qiao Ling'er unconsciously changed her tone and attitude deteriorated, as if the person in front of her was not caring about her, but deliberately making her angry.
So in order to avoid things getting worse and worse, it is better not to speak directly, and to avoid saying too much and making too many mistakes.
Qiao Linger didn't rest in the morning, but when she sat and lay in the yard, it was probably because the wind blew her face too comfortably, and she was sleepy unconsciously. When she closed her eyes and was confused, she seemed to be back when she was a child, and there was still the boy named Duan Yunfei who accompanied her.
"Miss? Someone is looking for you......" The consciousness did not disappear completely, but she did not have any perception of the outside world, and when she was so vague, Qiao Linger heard someone call her, probably the girl in the house.
When Qiao Ling'er opened her eyes, the maid in front of her had a very strange expression, which could be said to be struggling, and she felt like she was dying righteously. Qiao Linger couldn't help but smile, "What's the matter?" β
Seeing that she didn't blame, the maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That girl from the Li family has come to find Miss." β
Qiao Ling'er, the girl of the Li family, knew Li Xueyan and Li Xueqing, and as for which one came to her, she didn't have to think about it.
Anyway, Li Xueyan was tired of looking at her, and it was absolutely impossible for her to come over and find the other party unhappy.
"Didn't she come to me before and I said no? Why did you wake me up this time? Qiao Linger said lightly.
The maid was frightened, she had actually politely rejected Li Xueqing several times, and Qiao Ling'er was already sleeping, if she woke her up, it wouldn't end well. But Li Xueqing had to say that this time the matter was very serious, and the opportunity was rare or something, so she had to wake up Qiao Ling'er.
After such a few times, the maid really couldn't let it go, so she could only come in and wake up Qiao Ling'er.
She said that if there was a good opportunity this time, the young lady would definitely be interested...... She also said that if she missed this opportunity, she would definitely let the young lady know in the future, and when the time came, I would ...... "The maid seemed to be too scared, and later, the words were not clear."
Qiao Ling'er frowned, although she didn't know what Li Xueqing's so-called good opportunity was and how good it was, but such a threat made her a little uncomfortable.
What's more, she has cooperated with Li Xueqing several times before, but none of them have been successful, even if it has caused a little impact on Li Xueyan. So she was noncommittal about Li Xueqing's so-called good opportunity.
But since he has been woken up, and he is not sleepy at the moment, it is not impossible to see Li Xueqing. And what if she really brings a good opportunity this time?
"Call her in." Qiao Ling'er turned a blind eye to the maid's trembling and said lightly.
Soon, Li Xueqing came in, and Qiao Ling'er motioned for her to sit opposite her.
"You've ...... lately"
"Let's just say it, no need to say hello." Qiao Ling'er didn't want to listen to it anymore after listening to a few words, how was she doing recently, this was the most useless greeting for her.
Now who doesn't know that the eldest lady of her Qiao family was divorced by Duan Yunfei, and it was for a woman like Li Xueyan. Doesn't that mean she can't even compare to that kind of woman? With such a label on the body, there is no need to ask her how she is doing.
You don't have to think about it, it's definitely not good.
After Li Xueqing was interrupted, she was embarrassed for a moment and returned to normal.
"In that case, I'll show you something first." Li Xueqing said, took out a few pieces of paper from her arms and handed them to Qiao Ling'er. Qiao Linger gave her a strange look and took it.
It looks like a few pieces of paper that were torn out of somewhere, and they seem to be accounts, densely packed but neat.
"What is this?" Qiao Ling'er glanced at it a few times, but her attention was not on it, and she asked Li Xueqing.
Li Xueqing smiled: "Li Xueyan's bill." β
"Bills?" Qiao Ling'er was a little surprised, how could Li Xueqing's bill Li Xueqing have? And it looks like it was torn from somewhere, could it be that Li Xueqing stole it from Li Xueyan's house?
Li Xueqing saw that the success had aroused Qiao Ling'er's interest, and nodded, "Yes, someone found it from their house and tore it off." β
This "someone" refers to Xiaohan naturally.
Qiao Ling'er hadn't learned anything about the outside world in the past few days, and her father and mother didn't want her to know, so she didn't know anything about Duan Yunfei and them these days.
Li Xueqing told her from beginning to end.
