Chapter 1: Things are not people
When he knew Qiao Fei's marriage, Qiao Xing knew very well in his heart that he could no longer escape. A person who can't forget it for ten years, why not just give himself another chance?
Standing in front of the Fuli Courtyard, Qiao Xing still had the slightest hesitation.
At first, Qiao Xing didn't want to go to Qiao Fei's house as soon as she came back, the reason was nothing more than that she didn't want to see someone as soon as she came back, although she was ready to come back, but she was not ready to face him again.
Later, I heard that the person went to a meeting in another place, and there was no him at the family banquet in the evening, so Qiao Xing agreed. After all, the second aunt specially prepared the dinner party for her.
I hadn't seen my second uncle and aunt for many years, and the greetings began when she entered the house and ended with dinner.
Qiao Xing was not used to the enthusiasm of the second uncle and aunt, and he felt a little tired after eating a meal.
After eating, Qiao Xing proposed that he wanted to walk around alone, and refused to be accompanied by Qiao Fei, after all, he hadn't calmed down for many years to take a good look at the city where he was born and raised.
Over the years, I have been out alone, floating around like duckweed without roots. It would be a lie to say that she doesn't miss home at all, but where does she still have a home.
That year, both of her parents died in an accident, leaving her as an orphan and a large stake in the family business in her parents' name.
After Qiao Sihai finished the funeral of his brother and sister-in-law, he proposed to take Qiao Xing to live in his house, so that it would be convenient to take care of him, and also so that Qiao Fei and Qiao Xing sisters could have a companion.
From an outsider's point of view, Qiao Sihai's approach is indeed human, his brother and sister-in-law are gone, and it is natural for him, the second uncle, to take care of his niece.
After the death of her parents, she became an orphan, and her second uncle and aunt became her only relatives. Although the second uncle and aunt regard her as their own.
But no matter how good the second uncle and aunt are to her, they are not her biological parents after all, and that home is not her home. A lot of things aren't as rosy as they seem.
Qiao Xing has always thought that her parents are no longer there, and the only person she can rely on is her only uncle.
However, the second uncle's kindness to Qiao Xing always made Qiao Xing feel uneasy, and he always felt that the way he looked at him was mixed with other things she couldn't understand.
Coupled with some other factors, she only lived in Qiao Sihai's house for just one year, and resolutely decided to move back to her original home (Blue Mountain North Garden).
Now the city has been turned upside down compared to that year. Everywhere there are unfamiliar streets and strange people, and everything that was once familiar has long been buried by time.
Although I have been wandering around all these years, and every place I have visited is a strange place, I am not as sentimental as I am now.
After all, even this place that was once the most familiar will forget her.
After walking along the street for a long time, the buildings in front of me gradually became old. Qiao Xing realized that he seemed to have arrived in the old city.
Compared to the previous hustle and bustle, the quietness and stale of this place seem a little abrupt, like two worlds separated by a wall.
And it is this old place that has many memories of her.
Those memories are projected in my mind like a movie.
"Why did you give me this ......?"
“…… I thought about it for a long time before I decided to send your ......"
"Why don't you call it intimate......"
"And what should I call it...... Jojo ......"
Too many fragments were intertwined and kept coming to mind, making Qiao Xing a little overwhelmed.
There were too many things in this memory that she didn't dare to touch, so when she realized that the building in front of her was becoming more and more familiar, she subconsciously turned around and walked in the direction of Qiao Fei's house.
Just like when she left, she never looked back. Circling so, the vision is still blurred unconsciously.
Obscure.
When she returned to Qiao Fei's house, it was already late, and the second uncle and second aunt sometimes left, and Qiao Fei was also called by her wedding consultant, saying that the roses that were originally going to be used at the wedding had to be booked in advance, and she was asked to choose a variety of flowers.
Qiao Fei was originally going to wait for Qiao Xing to come back together, but Qiao Xing forgot to bring his mobile phone when he went out, and the wedding consultant was urging him again, and when Qiao Xing returned, Qiao Fei was already gone.
In the empty house, only she and Aunt Zhang, who were the helper, and some other helpers she didn't know were left.
Speaking of Aunt Zhang, she used to be a maid at Qiao Xing's house, but after Qiao Xing's parents left, Qiao Xing was taken to Qiao Fei's house, and she came to Qiao Fei's house with Qiao Xing. Later, Qiao Xing returned to her original home, but she didn't take her back, so she has been working at Qiao Fei's house.
In fact, strictly speaking, in addition to my parents in this world, I am afraid that the only one who is closest to her is Aunt Zhang. After all, she grew up watching Qiao Xing, and she was always there in the memories of those short and long years.
Qiao Xing sometimes feels a little strange, he and his second uncle Qiao Sihai obviously have a blood relationship, but they have never been able to get close, but Aunt Zhang, an outsider, seems to be his relative.
Maybe Aunt Zhang has been working in Qiao Xing's house since she was very young, and after a long time, she has also become a part of her family and a part of her family.
Can't do it either.
Qiao Xing stayed for half an hour and knew that Qiao Fei might not be able to come back for a while, and it didn't make much sense to wait, so he got up and prepared to leave.
"Why, do you have to leave so late? I've cleaned up for you upstairs, don't you live here? ”
Aunt Zhang was busy rubbing the water stains on her hands on her apron, looking a little surprised.
Qiao Xing nodded very sincerely: "Yes, yes." My luggage has been sent back to Blue Mountain North Garden, and I will go back to Blue Mountain tonight. ”
Aunt Zhang shook her head slightly, didn't say anything more, and only told her to be careful on the road.
After leaving Qiao's private house, he stopped the car without walking a few steps, reported the place name, and the car slowly rolled into the traffic with a roar.
Qiao Xing leaned against the car window with his side face, looking at the scenery outside the window that kept moving back, and couldn't tell what it was like.
"Blue Mountain North Garden" is the property purchased by Qiao Xing's parents when they were there, and it is also the home where their family once lived.
After the death of her parents, she was taken by her second uncle to live in Qiao's private house for a short year, and when she came back, the house seemed to have been ransacked.
Later, I learned that the second uncle resold all the calligraphy, painting and antiques that Qiao Xing's father had collected in the original house without her consent, because he didn't want Qiao Xing to see things and people in the future, which made him sad.
Although Qiao Xing was a little unhappy at that time, he didn't say anything. After all, she doesn't want to be unhappy with her second uncle for these trivial things, the left and right are just some things outside her body, and if she sells them, she sells them, it's not a big deal.
However, those things were my father's favorite in the past, and now they are all gone, and I don't know if my father knows about it, whether he will blame her for being too weak as a daughter, and she can't even take care of these things for him.
The last time I went back to Blue Mountain Beiyuan was last year, when I came back to sweep the graves of my parents, I just came back in a hurry and took the last flight of the day and left, not even knowing that she had come back.
The furnishings in the house are the same as last year, and although no one lives in them, they are not dusty because of this. On the contrary, even the foot of the wall is as clean as new and spotless. Of course, Qiao Xing knew that although she had settled abroad for a long time, someone would come to clean the house here regularly.
This world is like this, as long as you have money, everything can be done. As someone once said, "A lot of good things in the world are piled up on money."
It may be that the surrounding environment is related to that person, so I will think of that person several times in this short day.
Qiao Xing was a little annoyed, but she also understood that since she decided to come back to attend Qiao Fei's wedding, it would be a matter of time before she met him, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
The houses in Blue Mountains North Garden are all single-family villas, and the neighbors are far from each other. So when she suddenly heard the conversation, she felt a little dazed.
When I entered the door just now, I just pushed the door casually, but the ability was too small, and the door was just hidden. At this time, Jiang Yifan was standing in the middle of the half-open and half-closed door. Talking to someone on the phone with a serious face.
