In the Shang family's old mansion, the old lady and Bai Yun were almost angry and vomiting blood when they listened to the chief manager's report on Chu Qiao's affairs.

"What you said is the truth, and there is no word to discredit Chu Qiao?" The old lady gasped and asked, although Bai Yun was also angry. But he was still helping the old lady to get along.

"Old lady, these are the latest information about the young lady from the investigation, and no one dares to adulterate or smear the young lady."

"Shut up!" Hearing the chief manager call Chu Qiao "Young Madame", the old lady became even more angry, "Young lady, young lady, where is such an unbearable woman worthy of being the young lady of the Shang family." is worthy of being my granddaughter-in-law, and the order will go down, and no one shall be called Mrs. Chu Qiao again. ”

The chief steward shuddered. "Yes. Old lady. Then he turned and walked out.

"Mother, don't be too angry, your body matters." Bai Yun immediately reassured on the side.

The old lady glared at Bai Yun fiercely, "Can I not be angry when something like this happens?" The daughter-in-law of the Shang family's head of the family was actually pregnant with another man's child in her belly, and she was mixed with her illegitimate son and former mistress every day, which was simply a shame for the Shang family. It's a big joke. ”

"Yes, yes, mother, what you taught is that it was the daughter-in-law who didn't investigate these things clearly at the beginning, and it was the daughter-in-law who disgraced the Shang family." Bai Yun hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"I asked you to get rid of Chu Qiao a long time ago, you were too soft-hearted and too considerate of Ayan's feelings to lead to today's consequences." The old lady was angry, so she could only get angry at Bai Yun first, "Don't go quickly, go and bring Chu Qiao's inferior woman back to the old mansion for me." I'm going to deal with her myself. ”

"Yes, I'll go now, mother, don't be angry first."

At this moment, the chief steward walked in again and said, "Old lady, big lady, just now the eldest young master asked Chen Dong to call back, saying that he would personally take Chu Qiao back to the old mansion tomorrow morning to ask everyone for their guilt." ”

After hearing this, the old lady's face turned even more pale, "This Ayan, after the matter is now, I still want to protect Chu Qiao's slut, since this is the case, then I will wait until tomorrow morning, I will see what Ayan wants to do this time." ”

Bai Yun sighed deeply, her face was full of sadness, his son and daughter were all disturbed by Chu Qiao's alone, it was really her who was too soft-hearted at the beginning.

**********

Completely sleepless, the next morning, Chu Qiao put on a light makeup to cover up the haggard face, thinking that it would only be Chen Dong who would pick him up, when Chen Dong opened the car door and saw the handsome and timeless face that had already been carved into the bone marrow, Chu Qiao's nose was sour, and he quickly lowered his eyes, and his vision was blurred instantly.

After thinking about it all night, I thought that I had prepared everything, I thought that I was persistent enough, and I thought that my tears had dried up, but why did I still wet my eyes so easily the moment I saw Shang Fangyan.

It was really Shang Fangyan who spoiled her too much before, so she was so uncompetitive and cowardly in front of him now.

Desperately trying to control the tears that were about to fall, Chu Qiao told herself, don't cry, don't cry, because she is no longer qualified to cry in front of Shang Fangyan, he is no longer hers, now, in the future...... It's not hers anymore.

The moment the car door was opened, Shang Fangyan looked sideways at Chu Qiao at the door of the car, just one glance, his heart trembled, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at Chu Qiao who lowered his eyes. Buya Chi Blood.

She has lost weight, and she has become more and more shallow and tall, and such a slender Chu Qiao makes him suddenly feel like he is not in the wind, as if a gust of wind can take her away from his eyes.

Although Chu Qiao, who was wearing light makeup in front of him, was still picturesque, he couldn't hide her haggard and sad, and the moment he looked at each other, he saw through the sadness and attachment in her heart.

looked at Chu Qiao standing at the door of the car in a daze, after a long time, Shang Fangyan frowned, sighed inaudibly, and then closed his eyes and sank into the back of the chair, and said indifferently, "Come on." ”

When he closed his eyes, it wasn't that he didn't want to look at it anymore, but because Shang Fangyan was also afraid, afraid that his eyes would be wet in the next second, and tears would involuntarily slide out of his eyes.

He had to close his eyes and not look at it in order to restrain his emotions and make everything seem normal.

Hearing Shang Fangyan's indifferent voice, Chu Qiao's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Shang Fangyan again, seeing him who was already close to the back of the chair and resting with his eyes closed, Chu Qiao actually breathed a sigh of relief, but his tears slipped down disobediently.

Stepping into the car, after a few almost greedy glances at Shang Fangyan's angular outline, Chu Qiao tried to get closer to the car door, then glanced his head in the direction of the car window, and also closed his eyes and approached the back of the seat, but tears fell silently.

Perhaps, if you don't look at her, don't think about it, don't think about her, you can calm down, and then bravely bear all the consequences of marrying yourself today.

But it's useless, it's useless, the bits and pieces of her and Shang Fangyan together are all clearly staged in her mind like a movie rewind, everything seems to have happened in the last second, and even every word that Shang Fangyan said is clear.

He said:

"No matter what happens, you just need to remember one thing, and that is that you are my Shang Fangyan's wife."

"I want you to remember from now on that you are my Shang Fangyan's wife, and you don't need to humbly please anyone, including my grandmother and mother."

"Don't be afraid, Chu Qiao, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, I will save you from suffering, from being tired, and from having nothing to rely on."

"No, let me cooperate with you."

"Joe, you're good, you're good, you don't need to be better than you are now."

"In the future, you don't need to force yourself to do anything you don't like to do."

"No, you'll never be the one to bother me."

"Whatever you want me to do, just ask, I will satisfy you."

"Now, you are my Shang Fangyan's wife, you don't need to compromise for anyone, and you don't need to wronged yourself in the slightest, understand?"

"Because we were all together in the previous life and the previous life, I know everything about you as well as I did in this life."

"No, I have already set you in front of the Buddha, life after life, I just need to marry you."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be bitter, we're going to suffer together; If it hurts, we will hurt together; We're all together in life and death, okay? ”

Tilting his head sideways, Chu Qiao desperately bit his lips to prevent himself from making a sound, and let the tears flow down like a stream.

The last time, she promised that this was the last time she shed tears, and in the future, no matter what, she would hold back and face it bravely and persistently alone.

Feeling Chu Qiao's chaotic breathing, how could Shang Fangyan not know what was happening to Chu Qiao at this time.

His hands were slightly clenched into fists, and Shang Fangyan let out a long sigh in his heart.

Chu Qiao, give me some more time, a month or two months, three months at most, and I will definitely let you and the child come back to me.

This time, Shang Fangyan did not transfer to the helicopter to return to the old house, so the car drove for more than three hours before arriving outside the gate of the Shang family's old house.

followed Shang Fangyan out of the car, and after getting out of the car, Shang Fangyan did not wait for Chu Qiao to plan to walk side by side with her as before, but took the lead and walked towards the old mansion.

Chu Qiao got out of the car, looked at Shang Fangyan's footsteps, lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth hard, showing a faint smile, and then followed behind Shang Fangyan not far away.

All suffering is the result of her own inflicted effort, at this time, she can no longer let anyone see her cowardice and incompetence, whether it is right or wrong, it is already so, she must smile and face everything bravely.

Along the way, the servant's respectful voice still came and went, and there was no change from before, but it was all the voice of "eldest young master", and no one respectfully called "young lady" to Chu Qiao, and even the title of "Miss Chu Qiao" was gone, she had been ignored by everyone.

This feeling was as if there were countless thorns in Chu Qiao's body, which was not only painful, but also extremely uncomfortable.

However, she should be glad that at least no servant has pointed fingers at her.

I don't know how long I walked behind Shang Fangyan, I don't know how many corridors and pavilions I bypassed, how many bluestone floors I stepped on, and it wasn't until I walked in front of the old mansion owner that Chu Qiao paused, she knew that maybe what she would face here today would be the most cruel sentence in her life, there was no one, but she had to face it, and there was no way out.

Looking at the tall figure not far away that was about to disappear from his sight, Chu Qiao strode to follow, and the whole person fell into a deeper hell.

In the lobby of the main mansion, the elders of the Shang family were already seated, the old lady sat on the upper seat, Bai Yun sat next to the old lady, and He Yashi stood beside Bai Yun, and the other vacant upper seat was reserved for Shang Fangyan, and the other elders of the Shang family sat down in turn.

Seeing Shang Fangyan who walked in first, the old lady and Bai Yun both sighed with a calm face, while He Yashi had an elegant and atmospheric smile, glanced at Shang Fangyan with affection, and immediately looked away from her eyes, not wanting people to find out her ungiving heart for Shang Fangyan.

"Grandmother, mother." Shang Fangyan stopped a few steps away from the old lady and Bai Yun, and glanced at He Yashi lightly.

"Ayan, did you bring it back?" The old lady asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Shang Fangyan replied, his voice deliberately amplified with disappointment and hatred.

Shang Fangyan's words just fell Chu Qiao stepped into the lobby, she used to be afraid when she faced so many Shang family elders, but today she didn't, she didn't tremble at all, because she had fallen to the bottom of hell, and there was nothing more terrifying for a person than heart death.

With a light expression, she walked forward step by step, meeting the sight of the old lady and Bai Yun like an ice cube blade, Chu Qiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to see her emotions at all.

"Get on your knees." The old lady snorted angrily at Chu Qiao, and the heavy hammer of the pear blossom wood cane in her hand made a shocking sound on the bluestone floor.

Chu Qiao's heart trembled, but his face was still neither humble nor arrogant, his body was erect, and he had no intention of kneeling.

She was wrong, but it was impossible to ask for everyone's forgiveness now, so she would not kneel no matter what.

"Grandmother, she doesn't need to kneel." Shang Fangyan glanced at Chu Qiao lightly, "She is no longer my wife, let alone the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shang family, she has nothing to do with the Shang family anymore, so you don't need to be angry with her anymore, so as not to hurt your body." ”

Everyone looked at Shang Fangyan in surprise, not knowing whether he was protecting or deciding.

"Ayan, have you divorced her?" The old lady looked at Shang Fangyan and asked.

"Yes, she is already pregnant with another man's child in her belly, how can I still let her stay with me." Shang Fangyan replied affirmatively, his voice full of determination.

Chu Qiao's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked sideways at Shang Fangyan, when did he divorce her? Why she didn't know.

But it's right to think about it, how they are together should be how it ends, there is no marriage ceremony, and divorce does not need a formality, maybe this is the best.

"Ayan, you understand the rules of the family, even if you and her are divorced, she can only be a member of the Shang family, and she can only be under house arrest for the rest of her life, and she can no longer be free." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, she was still very satisfied with Shang Fangyan's ability to take the initiative to divorce Chu Qiao.

"Grandmother, no need, she is already pregnant with another man's child in her belly, which is a sin for the Shang family, she and her children should no longer have anything to do with the Shang family and me, otherwise it will only defile the Shang family and defile me." Shang Fangyan's tone was full of hatred, and his eyes were also painful.

"Yes, grandmother, mother, you will fulfill the wish of the eldest brother, if Chu Qiao is placed under house arrest in the Shang family, then the eldest brother and everyone will only feel uncomfortable when they see her and her children in the future, it is better to let her go with other men." He Yashi on the side pleaded, she didn't want Shang Fangyan to rekindle her old love for Chu Qiao one day, after all, the world is changing, looking at Chu Qiao and Monk Fang Yan, who used to be affectionate and like a person, no one would have thought that Chu Qiao would do such a thing to betray Shang Fangyan and Shang Jia.

"Mother, Chu Qiao is indeed an exception to the Shang family that should not have existed in the first place, since Ayan doesn't want to keep her, then you can fulfill Ayan, so as not to embarrass him in the future."

The old lady snorted, "What's so embarrassing, wouldn't it be good to beat the evil seed in her stomach?" ”

Hearing the old lady's words, Chu Qiao and Shang Fang Yan were both shocked in their hearts.

"Grandmother, I have never treated her badly since I asked Chu Qiao and I have taken great care of her, but she is still determined to give birth to another child with Jiang Beichen in order to save her son, I am already cold to her now, and I don't want to see her again in the future, and now I regret my original obstinacy, so I ask my grandmother to fulfill me one last time, just when I have never met her, I have never married her, and the Shang family has never appeared as a person." Shang Fangyan's expression was slightly painful.

Chu Qiao listened to Shang Fangyan's words, his heart was like a knife, but he still stubbornly raised his head to prevent his tears from falling.

Shang Fangyan is right, there is not a word wrong, it is that she disappointed him too much, she has really done her duty to him, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Yes, grandmother, you will be the eldest brother." He Yashi glanced at Shang Fangyan and pleaded, and her heart was indescribably happy.

Bai Yun sighed and didn't speak, and the other elders just listened and didn't speak.

The old lady looked at the painful Shang Fangyan and sighed, and asked, "Ayan, do you really think so?" ”

"Yes, grandmother, from now on, Chu Qiao has nothing to do with me and the Shang family, and life and death will not be in contact."

The old lady nodded, she naturally felt sorry for Shang Fangyan, and she couldn't see Shang Fangyan sad or even embarrassed, "Okay, since you have made a decision, then grandmother will fulfill you once again, I hope you won't disappoint grandmother again in the future." ”

"I'll remember, thank you, grandmother."

**********

Chu Qiao didn't know how he got out of the Shang family's old house, and he didn't know how he walked along the winding mountain road to the highway, when he turned to look at the forest behind him that belonged to the Shang family's old house, Chu Qiao's mouth tugged, and he actually laughed.

Since you can't cry anymore, laugh.

But the more she smiled, the more painful her heart became, and she had to squat down and hug her knees and curl up in pain.

In the early summer season, the sun was so warm and bright, why did she feel so cold, she was shivering with cold, and the blood in her whole body was about to freeze.

Closing her eyes and burying her face in her knees, she was so tired that she couldn't laugh anymore, she just wanted to sleep on the side of the road and never wake up again.

I don't know how long I squatted on the side of the road, and I didn't even lose feeling in my legs Chu Qiao didn't want to raise her head, and she couldn't stand up until she heard a sudden braking sound passing by her, and then a familiar sound sounded above her head Chu Qiao slowly raised her head.

Looking at the slender and upright figure in front of him, Chu Qiao tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth, and his smile was extremely bleak.

"Senior."

Qin Muyang lowered his head and looked at Chu Qiao with a frown, leaned over, and walked towards his car without hesitation.

Chu Qiao let Qin Muyang pick himself up and put him in the passenger seat, and then he fastened his seat belt.

At this time, Chu Qiao was already like a machine that could only breathe, his blood was cold, his heartbeat was stopped, and his brain was also stopped.

Sitting in the car, tired and close to the back of the chair, closing her eyes, saying nothing, thinking nothing, not thinking about anything, she just wanted to fall asleep deeply, and perhaps, when she woke up, she would be alive again.

After fastening Chu Qiao's seat belt, Qin Muyang bypassed the front of the car and returned to the driver's seat, closed the car door and looked at Chu Qiao with a distressed face, looking at her extremely tired and closing her eyes as if she had fallen asleep, Qin Muyang sighed deeply, didn't ask anything, and then started the car.

Different from the galloping wind when he came, on the way back, Qin Muyang drove the car very slowly and steadily, and there was no bump in the steady.

If Chu Qiao fell asleep, he just wanted not to wake her up, if she didn't fall asleep, he just hoped that she would fall asleep quickly and have a good rest.

It was a full four and a half hours before Qin Muyang arrived at the downstairs of his apartment, and Chu Qiao slept peacefully all the way as he wished, until he parked the car downstairs in the apartment building, Chu Qiao still didn't wake up, and he still slept very deeply.

Maybe it was really because he was too tired, or maybe it was because he had someone he could trust by his side, or maybe it was because he had less guilt in his heart, so Chu Qiao, who was originally just pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, fell asleep not long after getting into the car, and it was the most stable and solid sleep since he left Shang Fangyan.

Looking at Chu Qiao, who showed no signs of waking up, Qin Muyang frowned, but there was a rare tenderness between his eyebrows.

Unbuckled Chu Qiao's seat belt, got out of the car and went around to the passenger seat, then gently pulled the car door and stretched out his hands to carefully carry Chu Qiao out of the car.

He also hugged Chu Qiao like this when he was in the United States before, but it was when Chu Qiao was injured or sick, and now he holds her again, although their situation is different from that time, but his mood is exactly the same as at that time.

Even if he clearly knew that the person Chu Qiao loved was not him, as long as Chu Qiao needed it, he was still willing to wait silently, even if he exhausted the time of this life.

The moment he walked out of the elevator with Chu Qiao in his arms, Qin Muyang found Shang Zi squatting at the door of his apartment, and almost at the same time as the elevator door opened, Shang Zi also looked towards the elevator, looking at Qin Muyang, who appeared in front of him with Chu Qiao in his arms, Shang Zi was suddenly stunned, and his excitement turned into surprise.

After watching Qin Muyang walk in front of him with Chu Qiao in his arms, Shang Zi came back to his senses and stood up, Shang Zi was still a little surprised and said, "Brother Qin, sister-in-law, is she okay?" I heard that my sister-in-law didn't receive any punishment, why did you hold her? ”

Qin Muyang looked at Shang Zi and raised his lips lightly, and explained without a trace of embarrassment, "She's fine, she's just asleep." ”

"Oh~" Shang Zi puffed out her cheeks a little unhappily, after all, she was Qin Muyang's girlfriend, what did he mean by hugging Chu Qiao so openly in front of her?

However, Qin Muyang didn't notice Shang Zi's unhappiness, but hugged Chu Qiao and pressed the password lock, and after the password was entered, the door of the apartment opened.

"Come in." Qin Muyang said lightly, but he didn't look back, but hugged Chu Qiao and walked straight into the apartment towards his bedroom.

Shang Zi pursed her lips and followed Qin Muyang into the house, then closed the door, and watched Qin Muyang carry Chu Qiao into the bedroom, she also strode to follow.

Qin Muyang gently put Chu Qiao on his bed, and then leaned over to take off Chu Qiao's shoes when Shang Zi's voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Qin, let me come." Although Shang Zi grew up abroad, he also deeply loved the influence of the Shang family's family rules, so he couldn't see a man serving a woman, especially if this man was still a woman he liked, and the object of service was another woman.

Qin Muyang looked back at Shang Zi, the corners of her mouth tugged slightly, but she didn't listen to Shang Zi's words and leave the matter to her, but reached out and gently took off her shoes for Chu Qiao and put them on the side of the bed, then moved Chu Qiao's feet to the middle of the bed, covered her with a quilt, and finally walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and closed the curtains before walking towards Shang Zi.
