Jing Xiao twisted his ink-black sword eyebrows, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes crossed with endless anger, "He just threatened to sell the old house in Danzhou and asked Gardenia to give him money, right?" ”

"It should be, but as far as I know, the house in Danzhou has been officially transferred, and it belongs to Mrs. alone, if Tang Hong threatens this matter, Mrs. can definitely go through legal procedures." Shi Qian analyzed it seriously and cautiously, paused and said, "Master Jing, judging from the current situation, Tang Hong should threaten her with other things, otherwise Madame will not give him money." ”

"Something else?" Jing Xiao raised his eyes to look at him, and after a while, he commanded, "Keep an eye on Tang Hong, I have to know his recent moves, and in addition, I also want to know who he has seen and what he has done when he returns to Danzhou, since he has already made a move, then he has to pay some price." ”

After feeling the low pressure in the car, Shi Qian didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod vigorously, "Okay, understand." ”

Jing Xiao retracted his gaze, closed his eyes and leaned on his seat to pretend to sleep, his slender and bony index finger tapping his leg again and again, thinking about it in his heart.

If Tang Hong didn't threaten the house in Danzhou, then the only one who could make Tang Duyi compromise and make concessions was Weng Lu.

As soon as he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but hurt, his hands were clenched, and his handsome face was dyed with a bit of anger.

When Jing Xiao arrived home, Aunt Man was massaging Mrs. Jing by the sofa.

"Grandma."

He called out and changed his shoes into the house.

Aunt Man turned her head to look at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Jing is back." ”

Old Madam Jing was surprised when she saw him coming back at this moment, "Why did you come back at this time?" Came back alone? ”

He replied lightly, then looked at Aunt Man on the side, and said in a deep voice, "I have something to say to grandma." ”

When Aunt Man heard this, she immediately got up with interest, "Okay, then you talk, I just went out to buy some vegetables." ”

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? Old Madam Jing sat up straight and looked at him with a worried expression.

Jing Xiao didn't answer, and it wasn't until Aunt Man went out of the door that he walked towards the sofa.

"Are you talking?" Mrs. Jing was a little anxious, and her brows furrowed subconsciously.

"Tang Hong, do you know?" He asked bluntly, "He came to Haicheng and met Gardenia." ”

As he spoke, he handed her a few photos, but there was no one in them where Tang Duyi was beaten.

"What?" Mrs. Jing's eyes widened in shock, took the photo and looked at it carefully, "Hasn't he been missing for more than ten years?" ”

"He wanted to sell the house left by Grandma Tang in Danzhou, and even asked Gardenia for money." Jing Xiao said almost everything he knew, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a solemn chill welled up in his eyes.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jing was stunned, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and she said indignantly: "This bastard thing, he was not filial when his mother was alive, and he didn't even come back to the funeral when he died, and he still had to let Gardenia a little girl handle it, and now he still has the face to come back and ask for a house." ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she even trembled with anger.

Seeing this, Jing Xiao hurriedly sat beside her, patted her back and comforted, "Grandma, don't get excited." ”

Old Madam Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the anger churning in her chest, "This brute dares to bully Gardenia, and he has the face to sell his house, he is simply wishful thinking, you find someone to keep an eye on this bastard for me, he dares to go to Gardenia again, see that I don't break his legs." ”

"Grandma, I'll let someone arrange this." He replied in a low voice, and then asked again, "Grandma, are we ...... about this matter?" Should I ask Gardenia? ”

Mentioning this, Mrs. Jing was silent, and after a long time, she sighed and said, "You send someone to keep an eye on it first, Gardenia is going to take the exam starting tomorrow, this matter, let's wait for her to finish the exam, otherwise if you ask now, I'm afraid it will affect her,"

"Okay." Jing Xiao nodded approvingly, in this matter, he did plan to do so.

Now that Tang Duyi's exam is imminent, it is better to deal with this matter later, if he had known earlier, Tang Hong called her and threatened her, and asked her for money, he had already intervened in this matter, how could he wait until now.

Suddenly, Mrs. Jing opened her mouth again and rebuked, choking and said, "Gardenia, this girl is really, she carries everything alone, and now she actually gives him money." ”

Although it is a reprimanding tone, it is full of distress and pity.

"She could ......"

"Where did she get all this money? It can't be borrowed, right? Mrs. Jing ignored his words, asked worriedly, and at the end, added, "This stupid kid fainted near the bank before, wouldn't he just go to take out a loan to raise money?" ”

"Grandma, don't think nonsense, Gardenia didn't borrow money." Jing Xiao patiently explained, but did not elaborate.

Old Madam Jing shook her head, as if she didn't believe it.

Seeing this, he sighed and simply made his words clear, "That's her own money." ”

Before coming back, he had already asked people to check, the card he gave Tang Duyi had not been touched, and the money was taken from her card, which she should have saved and was going to open a studio after graduation.

"This stupid girl." Mrs. Jing muttered, and then reached out to wipe her tears.

Jing Xiao didn't speak again, but his expression was a little gloomy.

After staying at home for long, he went out to pick up Tang Duyi at school.

Although in the morning, she said something like that, but he still went, not to complete his grandmother's task, but he wanted to go.

Standing at the entrance of the elevator, the elevator door opened, and when he saw the people inside, he was slightly dumbfounded.

And like him, there was Tang Duyi standing in the elevator.

After she walked around outside, she thought about coming back early so that she could spend time with her grandmother in the afternoon.

But who would have thought that as soon as he went upstairs, he didn't even get out of the elevator, and he met Jing Xiao.

Why did he come back at noon?

Is he going to leave now?

Is it back to the company? Or go to school?

Tang Duyi's fist hanging at her side was quietly clenched, and when she thought back to the scene in the morning, her heart became extremely uneasy.

In the gap between the two confrontations, the elevator door slowly closed.

Jing Xiao was the first to react, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block the elevator door.

When the elevator door reopened, Tang Duyi also reacted.

"You're back."

"You're back."

The same sentence came out of the mouths of the two of them, and I don't know if it was a tacit understanding or a coincidence.

Tang Duyi was suddenly stunned and wanted to step out of the elevator, but Jing Xiao's speed was faster and stopped in front of her first.

After forcing her back into the elevator, he himself followed.

Looking at the elevator door that closed again, she bit her lip and said, "I won't go downstairs." ”

Jing Xiao looked at her and said slowly: "I have something to tell you, grandma is at home, let's go to the car and talk." ”

After the words fell, he directly pressed the floor button to go to the parking lot.

In Tang Duyi's opinion, the eyes he just had just looked at were like the prey of a cheetah, full of danger and aggression, which made her heart beat faster.

So she obediently shut up, and the fist hanging at her side clenched tighter and tighter, and her fingertips were almost sinking into the flesh.

When she arrived at the parking lot, Jing Xiao got out of the elevator first, and although she hesitated in her heart, she still followed.

After getting into the car, the atmosphere in the car was awkward and silent, he didn't speak, and Tang Duyi didn't take the initiative to speak.

Her head drooped slightly, her hands intertwined, and she looked extremely nervous.

"Did you come back so early on purpose to avoid me?" After a while, Jing Xiao opened her mouth to break the silence, and her cold and deep black pupils stared straight at her.

Her cheeks were still a little red, which was the mark left by Tang Hong's slap, and he was angry and distressed in his heart.

Tang Duyi looked up at him and pursed the corners of his lips, "Mr. Jing, ...... this morning"

"Gardenia, do you have to call me that?" Before she could finish speaking, Jing Xiao interrupted, looking at him with burning and helpless eyes.

"I ......" she didn't know what to say, and after spitting out a word, she stopped talking.

"Is it because of what I said in the morning?" He asked again.

She pursed the corners of her lips and didn't answer.

"I didn't mean that in the morning." Jing Xiao opened her mouth to explain, as if she was afraid that she would continue to misunderstand, and added, "I never felt that I went to pick you up to complete the task assigned by my grandmother, that is what I am willing to do, as your husband, I am willing to do anything for you." ”

Hearing this, Tang Duyi was stunned for a moment, looking at him in disbelief, but quickly lowered his head again.

She felt that all this was unreal, to be precise, she felt that these words should not come out of Jing Xiao's mouth.

Seeing that she didn't seem to believe it, he couldn't help but twist his sword eyebrows, and his voice sank, "I said that, just because I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, and I was afraid that you would trouble me again." ”

As the words fell, he leaned closer to her, and there was a slight ripple in his dark eyes.

Tang Duyi subconsciously shrunk her neck, and his breath fell on her cheeks, warm and crispy, making her feel dry and flustered.

"I messaged you this morning to explain, but you didn't reply to me." His voice was a little lower, and his tone seemed to be slightly aggrieved.

Tang Duyi's heart shook suddenly when she heard this, as if she had missed a jump.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean not to reply to messages." She lowered her eyes and whispered an explanation, but it wasn't an explanation, it was more like a quibble, because she just didn't reply on purpose.

"It's important." Jing Xiao only stared at her, and said seriously, "Don't misunderstand what I said in the morning, I don't want us to go further and further because of a word, a little thing." ”

When he got to know Tang Duyi more and more, and knew her past, he had long been defenseless against her, and he was more distressed.

Although he is not sure that this is the love between men and women, but when he learned that she went to see Tang Hong alone and had to face the shadow of the past alone, he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to protect her, even if it was just to protect like his brother, he could.
