In the blink of an eye, it was another week, and Chu Qiao felt that the weekend was the hardest time for her, and others wanted every day to be the weekend. But she wished that every day was a working day, because in this way, Shang Fangxu didn't have to go to Bai Yun, she could see Shang Fangxu every day, and she lived a very fulfilling life.

In the morning, Chu Qiao prepared a hearty breakfast for Shang Fangxu and then guarded him to eat, Shang Fangxu looked at Chu Qiao's motherly love and suddenly hesitated.

"Little Joe, if I call my grandmother, I won't go to her this weekend, I'll stay with you at home."

Because Shang Fangyan went to the United States for something, Shang Fangxu didn't want Chu Qiao to stay at home alone on the weekend.

Chu Qiao raised his lips and smiled, "No, it's good for me to be at home alone." ”

Shang Fangxu glanced at Chu Qiao, "Are you sure?!" ”

"Of course. I don't have to serve you when you're not at home, how happy I am! Chu Qiao replied duciously.

Shang Fangxu "cut" disapprovingly, if he couldn't see Chu Qiao's thoughts, it would be strange.

......

Just when Shang Fangxu was about to go out to Bai Yun's place, Shang Zi's phone called, Shang Zi said that she really wanted to eat Chu Qiao's cooking, but she accidentally crutched her foot yesterday. Asked Chu Qiao if he could go to Bai Yun with Shang Fangxu, so that he could make something to eat for her.

Hearing that Shang Zi wanted to eat the food she cooked, and turned her feet again, of course Chu Qiao would not refuse her request, although Chu Qiao understood that Bai Yun didn't like her, but if there was a chance, Chu Qiao still hoped that he could change Bai Yun's opinion of him.

After all, now she can't completely ignore the attitude of the Shang family.

After changing into a cheongsam, coiling his hair, putting on an elegant makeup, and wearing jade, Chu Qiao and Shang Fang Xu went to Bai Yun's Jingyi Garden together.

Entering the gate of Jingyi Garden, Chu Qiao saw Shang Zi standing in front of several servants with a wooden cane in his hand from a distance, and it seemed that Shang Zi was not lightly injured.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxu."

Got out of the car. Shang Zi's brisk voice immediately sounded in his ears, and then the servants respectfully called "Little Master".

Chu Qiao smiled faintly at Shang Zi, led Shang Fangxu and walked towards Shang Zi with him, and the three of them entered the house together after a few jokes.

Chu Qiao glanced lightly in the hall, because he didn't see Bai Yun there, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Where's Grandma?" Shang Fang asked.

"Back to the little young master, the eldest lady and the housekeeper went to the mansion last night, and they should be back soon." The servant on the side quickly replied.

It's just that before Shang Fangxu could show his excitement on his face, Shang Zidi raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiaoxu, your teachers are waiting for you, you should go to class quickly, my mother has instructed you to do an assessment of your homework at noon." ”

"Ahh Shang Fangxu's whole person was not good in an instant.

Chu Qiao looked at Shang Fangxu and couldn't bear to sigh lightly in his heart, Xiao Xu is such a young child, but every weekend when he comes to Bai Yun, he has to take various elite courses and learn the six Chinese languages, which is really hard for him.

At this moment, she felt more and more that if she had time. She must accompany Shang Fangxu to have fun, and she must not let all kinds of homework pester him.

After Shang Fangxu left the class, Chu Qiao and Shang Zi sat on the sofa in the hall and chatted casually, chatting until the time of the rise. Shang Zi suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you and my eldest brother meet?" ”

Yes... This one?

Chu Qiao smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide his weakness, and then replied with a look of surprise but a hint of sweetness, "The first time I met your eldest brother was at the Hughes Medical Institute in the United States, and at that time I was going there to meet one of my clients, and I accidentally bumped into him, so I got to know him. "Jusuke is a great talent.

"Is that okay?!" Shang Zi expressed surprise, and then asked, "Then how did you get together, and why did you get married without knowing it?" ”

Chu Qiao smiled and lowered his head, his face was inexplicably stained with a touch of red, this... How is he going to make it up? Can't tell Shang Zi that she and Shang Fangyan fell in love and got married when they saw each other, right?

Seeing that Chu Qiao only lowered his head and smiled happily but did not answer, Shang Zi became more and more curious.

Their father died when she was very young, and she was sent to France when she was six years old, and she didn't live with her family most of the time, only Shang Fangyan would often visit her sister, so she and Shang Fangyan had a very close relationship since she was a child, and Shang Fangyan was also one of the people she respected the most, so she also knew Shang Fangyan very well.

Shang Fangyan is definitely not an emotional person, and he will never fight unprepared battles, and he will be completely sure of everything he does, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Like feelings, Shang Fangyan's family cultivated his fiancée He Yashi when he was very young, but over the years, Shang Fangyan has never crossed He Yashi, always light and polite, and there have been no problems between them, so everyone thought that Shang Fangyan would marry He Yashi at the last moment of his thirties, but they never expected that Shang Fangyan finally gave everyone a surprise, a big surprise.

Pulling Chu Qiao's arm, Shang Zi said coquettishly childishly, "Sister-in-law, tell me." ”

Chu Qiao was helpless and looked up at Shang Zi, "Actually, your eldest brother and I didn't get along much before we got married, maybe, we were... It was love at first sight. ”

"Love at first sight?!" Shang Zi couldn't believe that this kind of thing could happen to Shang Fangyan, and looked at Chu Qiao with her mouth wide open, "Sister-in-law..."

"Ah Zi, don't scream." Shang Zi's words were stopped by a stern voice before they could be spoken, no need to look at it or guess, Chu Qiao knew that Bai Yun was back, and there was another woman who followed Bai Yun into the house, it was He Yashi.

"Mother."

Chu Qiao helped Shang Zi to stand up together, and showed a smile to Bai Yun and He Yashi with an indifferent expression.

He Yashi is the same as Bai Yun, she is very beautiful, no matter her appearance or temperament and demeanor, she is a rare real lady, in fact, in her heart, Chu Qiao is ashamed of herself.

"Ah Zi, I heard that your feet are crutches, I'll come to see you." As she spoke, He Yashi walked towards Shang Zi, her gaze was impartial, and she didn't fall on Chu Qiao at all.

"Sister Yashi, I'm fine, just rest for a few days."

"Breaking muscles and bones for a hundred days, how can it be as light as you say." He Yashi came to Shang Zi and held her other arm, "Come, sit down." ”

Shang Zi smiled and sat down with her with He Yashi's support, only Chu Qiao was still standing, although the smile on his face was elegant, there was a little embarrassment in his heart.

Bai Yun completely ignored Chu Qiao, who was standing, turned his head sideways and whispered a few words to the housekeeper, and then walked straight upstairs.

Shang Zi saw Bai Yun's indifference to Chu Qiao and Chu Qiao's embarrassment, and explained, "Mother, I invited the great... Miss Chu Qiao is a guest at home, can I leave her here for lunch? ”

Hearing Shang Zi's words, Bai Yun's footsteps did not stop, but she slightly turned her head to look at Chu Qiao, who was still standing, and replied, "Since you like it, then you are in charge." ”

For Shang Zi, Bai Yun is favored, and Shang Fangyan is her own son and the first heir of the Shang family, she can't always give Shang Fangyan such a face.

For Bai Yun's answer, Chu Qiao was a little surprised, looking up at the beautiful back that was about to disappear at the end of the stairs, Chu Qiao's eyes showed a trace of gratitude and respect.

If nothing else, just because she is Shang Fangyan's mother.

"Thank you, Mother." Shang Zi looked happy and pulled Chu Qiao's hand, "Sister-in-law, sit down." ”

Chu Qiao looked down at Shang Zi and smiled, and sat down next to her, while He Yashi, who was sitting on the other side, lowered her head and pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, raising a trace of bitterness and ridicule, and her eyes became cold and deep almost instantly.

"Ah Zi, you and Miss Chu Qiao sit first, and I'll go upstairs to take care of my aunt." Obviously, in front of Chu Qiao, He Yashi took it for granted that she was a member of the Shang family, so she had to maintain a noble and noble attitude in front of Chu Qiao, and show her advantages.

Shang Zi nodded, Chu Qiao also smiled faintly at He Yashi, and then watched her go upstairs.

......

Upstairs, Bai Yun had already changed into a more comfortable cheongsam, and Bai Yun, who was standing in front of the mirror, saw He Yashi come in, her eyes were slightly dark, she lowered her eyes, and said lightly, "Yashi, I especially want to eat fresh lotus seeds today, you and Shang Zi go pick some back." ”

There is a large artificial lake in the garden of Jingyi Garden, and the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming just right, which is the best time to pick lotus flowers. It's just that Shang Zi's foot isn't injured? Why didn't Bai Yun care for Shang Zi so much at this time, but let her go with Shang Zi?

It's good for the maid to go! And it's usually a maid who goes.

Although Bai Yun's request was very strange, He Yashi didn't dare to think about anything more, and immediately replied, "Okay, aunt, I'll go now." ”

"By the way, don't call Chu Qiao, she can't swim." When He Yashi turned around, Bai Yun reminded lightly.

He Yashi was stunned, she knew very well that Bai Yun didn't like Chu Qiao very much, but why did she mention Chu Qiao to her at this time, and just told her that Chu Qiao couldn't swim.

Raising her lips and smiling, He Yashi instantly understood.

......

asked the maid to prepare the tools for picking lotus pods and prepared a small wooden boat, He Yashi went to tell Shang Zi that Bai Yun wanted to eat fresh lotus seeds and asked the two of them to pick lotus pods together, and at this time, the lotus flowers in the lake were blooming just right, and it was also a good time to enjoy the lotus.

Chu Qiao heard He Yashi say this, of course it was impossible for her not to go but stay in the house alone, besides, it was impossible for Shang Zi not to call Chu Qiao, so the three of them went to the lake together.

Because the wooden boat is small, there are not many people who can sit, and it can only sit three at most, so He Yashi rowed, and Chu Qiao and Shang Zi sat at the other end of the boat.

This lake is a lake in a private garden, and the nature of the care is many times better than the lake outside, the lotus flowers of the lake are in full bloom, and as far as the eye can see, the white, pink, purple, and bright lotus flowers in the emerald green strive to open, and the beauty is overwhelming.

Chu Qiao looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, completely amazed, she had never seen so many such beautiful lotus flowers, and they were different varieties but could bloom in the same lake, it was really beautiful.

By the time Chu Qiao was amazed, the wooden boat had gradually approached the center of the lake, and Shang Zi and He Yashi had already begun to take out their tools to pick lotus flowers.

"Sister-in-law, this scythe is for you." Shang Zi took out a crescent-shaped sickle from the basket and handed it to Chu Qiao beside him.

"Thank you." Chu Qiao took it with a smile, and then also started picking lotus pods.

He Yashi listened to Shang Zi calling Chu Qiao "sister-in-law" so unabashedly in front of her, as if a needle had been pierced in her heart, it was not so painful, but it made her feel uncomfortable, just like seeing Shang Fangyan hugging Chu Qiao affectionately in front of everyone.

She has been in the Shang family for so many years, and she is recognized by the Shang family as the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, but she has never been called "sister-in-law" by Shang Zi, but Chu Qiao, such a lowly and unclean woman, easily got what she had been looking forward to for a long time.

How could she be so wronged and let Chu Qiao be happy.

......

After a while, the lotus canopy around the wooden boat was almost picked, and Shang Zi pulled his neck and looked around to see where there were more, bigger and fuller lotus canopies.

Suddenly, Shang Zi saw a very large and full lotus pod under the lotus leaf not far from his side, Shang Zi looked sideways for a distance, and he should move his body and stretch out his hand to pick it. 360 Search. You come all of a sudden, and I'll be updated all my life

Shang Zi thought so, so he did so, moved his body as far as he could to the side of the wooden boat, and then reached out to remove the lotus leaf, which was a little bit worse.

So, Shang Zi leaned down and leaned on the strings of the wooden boat, and then reached out to the big and plump lotus canopy.

He Yashi, who was on the other end of the wooden boat, saw Shang Zi's movements out of the corner of her eyes, looked at the wooden boat that had been slightly tilted to Shang Zi's side, and quietly moved her buttocks, moving her whole body to the side of the wooden boat.

"Wow, got it." Just as Shang Zi was about to withdraw his hand, the wooden boat suddenly tilted, "Ah..."

"Ah Zi!" Chu Qiao suddenly turned to look at Shang Zi, and felt the wooden boat tilt sharply, and she reached out to grab Shang Zi when she realized the ground.

The weight of all three of them leaned towards the same side of the wooden boat, and almost instantly, there was a "poof", the water splashed, the wooden boat flipped on its side, and all three people fell into the lake at the same time.
