Suddenly hearing her mother sigh, Qiu Jin was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about anything after eating." Long Chengxuan beckoned the waiter to start serving, and soon the dishes they ordered were delivered.

But at this time, Qiu Jin also felt that something was wrong, she refused to move her chopsticks, and looked at everyone: "If there is anything, just say it directly, if it is like this now, it is estimated that everyone is not happy to eat, right?" ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Xiaomo hesitated, looked at Chu Xinyun, and then stood up with Long Chengxuan: "You guys eat and talk first, Ah Xuan and I will go get something and come back soon." ”

Seeing them like this, Qiu Jin also felt very strange, but it didn't stop her. As smart as she is, she naturally knows what happened, and this matter should be related to her, which is why everyone's expressions are so strange.

Waiting for Long Chengxuan and Zhang Xiaomo to go out, she spoke: "Dad, Mom, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Here Long Chengxuan and Zhang Xiaomo arrived in the lounge outside, and seeing his wife's worried expression, Long Chengxuan shook his head: "Xiao Mo, Qiu Jin, she will have to face it sooner or later." Otherwise, she would have been trapped in this matter for the rest of her life and ruined her life. ”

Although he knew that what her husband said was the truth, Zhang Xiaomo couldn't help but worry: "I'm worried that Xiao Jin will be sad when she hears this." ”

"Long pain is better than short pain. You are a doctor and should know this best. ”

Although he said that, when he thought that Qiu Jin would be sad, Zhang Xiaomo felt uncomfortable.

At this time, Long Chengxuan's mobile phone rang, he glanced at the incoming call and answered the phone: "How did you check the matter?" ”

"You're right. This little Hobbes had previously ignored his sister-in-law's friend, and indeed made some kind of pact with the old duke. As long as he no longer looks for Qiu Jin and no longer has any contact with her, the old duke will promise that he will not embarrass the Qiu family again. ”

Is that really the case? But Long Chengxuan knows his younger brother very well, if there is only these, he will not call him out of purpose: "If there is anything else, let's talk about it together." ”

"You're so boring, can't you pretend you didn't guess?"

"Not available."

In the face of the old brother's boring answer, Long Chengang didn't care, he had lived together for more than 30 years, and he had long been accustomed to the boring character of the old brother: "The old duke's guarantee is not just that he will no longer embarrass the Qiu family. Another point is to ensure that Hobbes's heir position will not change. ”

Hearing this, Long Chengxuan's brows furrowed slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

This sentence is not to ask what the elder brother just said means, but to ask what the elder brother means when he suddenly said such a thing.

"It means that I don't know why this matter was turned over, and Hobbs has been in a hurry to find Qiu Jin recently, and I guess there is also a reason for this. He was already engaged three years ago, and the other party was also a noble lady in the Duchy of Tulip, and if this matter was revealed, it was likely that the marriage would be terminated. This is a very big threat to his position as the heir. And it is said that the noble lady's temper is not very good, if she knows that there is Qiu Jin......"

Long Chengxuan already understood what his brother meant when he heard this: "You mean, Hobbes may have come to Qiu Jin to stabilize his position, or he may have come to her to protect her?" ”

"That's right, even if it's for the latter, now Hobbes's group of brothers and sisters are also staring at this matter, bent on finding Qiu Jin and dragging him out of the position of heir. And the other noble lady, I'm afraid that she won't allow others to get her hands on her man, so it will definitely be unfavorable to Qiu Jin. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Long Chengxuan groaned slightly: "I probably know." Over there, you help me keep an eye on it, and I'll deal with it domestically. ”

Perhaps because the matter involved Zhang Xiaomo, Long Chengang felt a little uneasy: "Brother, be careful, none of these people are vegetarians." ”

"Do you think, your brother and I are vegetarian?"

Zhang Xiaomo also came over at this time: "Is it Xiaoang's phone?" ”

Hearing what his wife said, Long Chengxuan could only say to his brother: "Your sister-in-law has something to tell you." ”

Long Chengang didn't have time to refuse here, and Zhang Xiaomo's voice had already come: "Xiaoang, Qiu Jin's matter is troublesome to you." If you have any news, be sure to tell me immediately, you can call me anytime, and if your brother can't answer the phone, call me. ”

"Sister-in-law, it's all your own family, why are you so polite?" However, for the person whose sister-in-law would be so attentive, Long Chengang couldn't help but be a little interested: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter." ”

"Good!"

After hanging up the phone, Long Chengxuan saw that the time was almost up, and put his arm around his wife's waist: "Let's go in." ”

"Hmm!"

The two of them pushed open the door and walked in, and saw the three members of the Qiu family sitting there with their faces as usual. It's a little strange: "Done? ”

Qiu Jin glanced at her angrily: "What else do you say, I thought it was a serious matter, so I was startled, and I made a fuss for a long time, it turned out to be such a thing." ”

"Uh, are you alright?"

"Of course there was something at first, but then I figured it out, and it was nothing. In fact, after I learned his identity, I guessed that it would not be so smooth with him. It's true to say that you have a crush on him, but you also know how deep the feelings can be when you are studying? Not to mention a foreigner, a foreigner who has never met his parents. ”

Qiu Jin may also know that if she doesn't explain these things clearly today, everyone will worry about her, so she honestly said what she was thinking in her heart. When Hobbes didn't take her home, she didn't have a good premonition. This is also the reason why she did not call the other party when there was an accident at home.

Although the two have confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, she grew up in China after all, and her thoughts are still very traditional and conservative. For this relationship, it was also because Hobbes was really good, coupled with his relentless pursuit, that she agreed. However, for her, she has not met both parents, and with the consent of both parents, she only thinks that this is the most basic relationship between the two people.

Later, when her classmates told her what Hobbes meant on the phone, she just wanted to confirm it from Hobbes's mouth. Unfortunately, Hobbes lacked the guts to tell her about it at the end. At that point, she completely denied Hobbes as a person.

After moving with her parents, the family lived a very hard life, which also made her understand that in this world, the most important thing is that she has strength. Only when you have absolute strength will you not be bullied by others and will not be looked down upon. After that, she worked harder than everyone else, juggling various professions with her parents, until the family was better, and she immediately offered to complete her studies and take two more degrees.

Suddenly hearing Hobbs's news today, Qiu Jin was a little surprised, but it was just an accident, and there was no other emotion. Even after hearing her parents talk about Hobbes's last resort, she didn't have too many ripples in her heart. In her opinion, the past is in the past, and she is naturally happy to know that Hobbes did not fail her in the first place, but she is only happy, and has no other thoughts.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo was relieved: "Then why haven't you talked about a boyfriend for so many years?" ”

"How can you be free? At first, I accompanied my parents to earn money to pay off debts, and then I was studying, do you think it is easy to study three degrees abroad at the same time? After graduating, I was busy looking for a job. It's not like you don't know how stressful your work is right now. Fortunately, you found me later and called me back, otherwise I might be the next one to die of overwork. ”

"Phew! What nonsense? Zhang Xiaomo glared at her angrily: "It's been half a year since I came back, and I haven't seen anyone yet?" ”

Qiu Jin shrugged: "There are a few chasing me, but I am too busy with work to pay attention to them." After all, I went in in the name of your husband, so I won't lose his face. ”

This is true, Qiu Jin has been working hard since she entered the company, and she has not been taken care of at all because she was recommended by Long Chengxuan, and with her own strength, she has become the leader of their department in less than half a year. Even at today's meeting, Long Chengxuan saw Qiu Jin's name and her business performance ranking in the past six months on the department's annual report.

But now that he knows Qiu Jin's situation, Zhang Xiaomo can be said to be relieved, at least his friend is not trapped by his old love and is stuck on the road of life. In her heart, she doesn't think that getting married and having children is the only way in life, if it's just a matter of personal philosophy, she won't worry about it, but if it's because of something else, she still wants to help her friend solve it.

Qiu Jin also knew that Zhang Xiaomo was feeling sorry for herself, she smiled and reached out and pinched the other party's face: "You, I'll just say it if you're worried, and you're going around in such a big circle." ”

Zhang Xiaomo also slapped her hand away with a smile: "Okay, the question now is, do you want to tell Hobbes about your situation." What if you tell him that he wants to see you? ”

"It doesn't matter if you tell him or not, but you don't have to meet him. It's the end of the year, and this girl is busy. The company's annual leave is long enough, and I still want to travel. Speaking of this, Qiu Jin looked forward to it: "Do you want to go with me?" The Maldives is not going anywhere. It's also a good idea to go somewhere else, like Angkor Wat. ”

Although Zhang Xiaomo also wants to go out for a walk, but for the Chinese New Year, even if she doesn't go back to F City, she will follow Long Chengxuan to City B and S City to see the elders, and she will definitely have no time to accompany Qiu Jin: "It's not going to work this year, let's take another time next year." ”

was rejected by her, Qiu Jin's face was depressed: "That's why I don't want to get married." As soon as you get married, you have no freedom. I still remember that the two of us agreed to travel around the world together, but now we refuse to accompany me to Southeast Asia. ”

Long Chengxuan frowned lightly after listening to her travel plan: "If you don't want to meet Hobbs, I suggest that you don't go anywhere for the Chinese New Year this year, and stay at home obediently." Otherwise, he would probably come to the door. ”

Unless Long Chengxuan didn't tell Hobbs the true situation, Hobbes knew that after Long Chengxuan found out the news, he would definitely ask for Qiu Jin's address. In China, with Long Chengxuan by his side, Hobbes can't go too far, but it's hard to say if he goes abroad.

Qiu Jin is a smart person, and when she heard his words, she heard something else, but she didn't point it out, but picked up the chopsticks: "Eat, eat, I'm about to starve to death." If there is anything, let's talk about it after eating. ”

As they said, after eating, Qiu Zhi and his wife went back to the company directly. As they get older, they need a little rest before going to work in the afternoon.

After his parents left, Qiu Jin, who was sitting at the tea table, asked, "Is there any news that hasn't been told to me?" ”

Zhang Xiaomo thought about it for a while, but decided to hide part of the facts: "Here's the thing. Some people have known about Hobbes talking to you about their friends, and they want to find you now. ”

"Looking for me? What are you looking for me? Qiu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "They want to use me to bring down Hobbes?" ”

After seeing Zhang Xiaomo nodding, she sneered: "Then it depends on whether they have the ability to please me." ”

"If you don't move you clearly, in order to get the position of duke's heir, I'm sure they won't mind using some extraordinary means." Long Chengxuan looked at her: "Thinking about the old duke's methods to your family, it is already the gentleest. If it were these people, I don't know what I would do. ”
