Chapter 24 - I remember
I couldn’t believe that he really left, thinking that he was pretending to go again and wanted to tease her. So he got up and opened the bathroom door to look. The clothes he took off were thrown there, waiting for her to wash.
I’m not in the study, but I really left. Maybe it was home, which was exactly what she was looking forward to. Ignoring the inexplicable loss in her heart, she lay back on the bed, picked up the book and flipped through it slowly.
…
The next day, it was Mr. Joe’s 80th birthday.
The old man has never liked being too noisy, so there are no big banquet guests and even relatives are not willing to let people know the congratulations, and only his family gathers for reunion dinner.
Everyone in Qiao’s family has a smile on their faces. The older the old man, the more he looks like a child. He is kind to everyone, and even his servants like him very much.
The old lady took a lot of mental and physical energy on Father Zhang Luo’s birthday yesterday. She was a little overwhelmed physically and felt uncomfortable at night. Qiao Yushi’s cell phone was turned off. Jiang Donghai couldn’t find him after receiving the news, so he knocked on the apartment door and called him.
Qiao Yushi teased Zillog and hurriedly changed his clothes and hurried back to the old house.
Although the old lady was fine, Qiao Yushi called the family doctor to give her an injection. She stayed up all night and served her grandma all the time.
This morning, the old lady was also full of energy to talk to the younger generation.
Qiao Yushi looked at her grandmother, feeling a little uncomfortable, she was already in the terminal stage of cancer, she didn’t know it. If it wasn’t for grandma… just thinking about it, grandma spoke to him.
“Stone, why isn’t Xue’er’s stomach moving yet? When will the old guy and I hold my grandson?” The old lady’s eyes rolled on Cheng Feixue’s stomach, her pretty face flushed.
“Grandma, are you too anxious? My eldest brother has only been married for a month, so how fast can it be.” Qiao Yu happily helped his brother-in-law to cover up, but he wanted to have a good relationship with them, and he was still thinking about Zilog.
“Go, what do you know? Young people nowadays, who doesn’t get in the car first and then make up the ticket?” The old lady patted Qiao Yuhuan away, and he blocked her from studying Cheng Feixue’s stomach.
“You, did you come on time?” Cheng Feixue’s face turned redder, and she couldn’t think of her asking so directly.
“Grandma, Cher is shy, don’t you say so straightforward, we are working hard!” Qiao Yushi stood beside his wife, not wanting her to be embarrassed.
“Okay, hurry up, I really can’t come back to live, I can treat your body.” The old lady said reluctantly.
“Conditioning? I think you are like this. It’s clear that you want to give people tonics and aphrodisiacs!” Qiao Feiyu, the only girl in the Qiao family, gathered around to join in the fun.
“You little girl, how old are you? It’s not plausible to say this! But it’s a good idea, Sinan…what about Sinan?”
“Come on, grandma.” Qiao Sinan was talking to grandpa, listening to grandma’s call, and hurried over with a smile.
“Go and prepare some tonics for your elder brother and sister-in-law. If you want that kind of special effects, go now. At night, you can stay here.” The old lady turned to Qiao Sinan after giving instructions to Qiao Yushi and said to his wife.
Cheng Feixue looked at Qiao Yushi with embarrassment, his face flushed with embarrassment.
“Grandma, I have something tonight, can we make another day?” Qiao Yushi coaxed softly.
“Nothing is important than having great-grandchildren!”
“Yes, yes, the old lady is right. Don’t think we don’t know what you young people think, one or two of you want to be free, and you don’t want to get pregnant. Both of you will live here for me tonight!” Having said something so solemnly, the two of them dared not defy a single order.
“Miss, Madam just called and said that tonics have been prepared for you in the evening.” A Xin suddenly stepped forward and said softly.
“Mother-in-law, I’ll call and talk in person later. Today is Grandpa’s birthday, you are obedient.” The old lady insisted, Qiao Yushi and Cheng Feixue looked at each other, and then agreed to grandma’s request.
…
Qiao Yushi hadn’t come all night, but Zillog slept unsteadily, having a dream repeatedly all night.
She ran in the southern villa area with a desperate mood, ran and ran until she reached the side of the hillside.
She saw the men and women entangled on the hillside, the woman seemed to be her, but not. I want to see the man’s face clearly, but I can’t see clearly no matter how hard I try.
After waking up, she realized that her life was so desperate whether she was awake or asleep.
Qiao Yushi said that his father had nothing to do, and the problem was as serious as two years ago.
Last time I went home, my parents seemed okay, so they were reluctant to worry about her. She must find a way to make herself stronger, otherwise she won’t be subject to Qiao Yushi forever?
As soon as it was bright and bright, Zilog got up and turned on the computer. Her hobby was clothing design.
I really regret that I didn’t study business management, maybe I can help my father after graduation. It should be too late for the postgraduate entrance examination. The postgraduate examination is in January next year, and there are still a few months left, which is enough for her.
The bookstore opened after daybreak, and Zillog went to the bookstore to buy a book according to the bibliography searched on the Internet.
Bring the book home and read it in the morning. She graduated last year and worked as an assistant in a company for a short time. Later, when Qiao Yushi said that he needed it, she would come anytime and force her to quit her job.
Sister Li came back in the morning and cooked her lunch.
Zillog was reading almost when she was eating, and she wanted to get the best grade in the exam.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Zilog packed up the books and went home early. She knew that her mother liked to cook by herself. Distressed for her mother’s body, she wanted to go back earlier to help.
Wanting to surprise her mother, she moved very lightly when she opened the door, and she was in the kitchen as expected.
She walked to the door and saw that her father was there, and the two were talking softly.
“He really wants to come back?” the mother asked.
“Ok!”
“Don’t let Xiao Luo see him, have you told Lao Lu?”
“Tell me, don’t worry. Things have passed for so long, even if Xiao Luo saw him…”
“No! I can’t let her see it, have you forgotten that Xiaoluo almost died?”
“What if she remembers it by herself? At that time… Xiao Luo?” Father saw Zilog outside the door, his mother’s face changed suddenly, and the shovel in her hand fell with a fright. On the ground.
“Parents, what are you worried about me thinking of?” Zellogg asked, looking at his father’s face.
Today she wants to ask an answer from them, and she doesn’t want to struggle like this anymore.
“No…nothing. Why are you back alone, Donghae?”
“Dad, don’t hide it from me. If it’s really nothing, Mom won’t be like this.”
Mother Liu Xiaoping quickly recovered her composure. She smiled and picked up the shovel from the ground and said, “Silly girl, you stand at the door and startled mom. It’s nothing really wrong, the East China Sea is not coming?”
“Come, I’ll be there soon.”
“Come here to taste the dishes your mother cooks, and see if it suits the taste of Donghai.” Liu Xiaoping came to pull Zilog’s hand.
“Mom, please, tell me. Actually, I remember it all.”
“Remember?” The old couple asked in unison, both feeling extremely nervous. Immediately Liu Xiaoping realized that she said she might have lied to them when she thought of it. If she really thought of it, she would ask them what to do.
“What does this kid think of? Come over and taste the food.” Liu Xiaoping smiled lovingly, lowered her head and took a shovel and handed it to her daughter.
They are avoiding, and she knows that these things must be unpleasant, and the parents do not tell her that they feel sorry for her.
The parents will be embarrassed if they continue to ask, they will not be able to untie Qiao Yushi’s knot without questioning.
Zilog opened his mouth to take the food his mother gave, chewed it, and praised it.
The parents thought she had given up asking and breathed a sigh of relief.
She swallowed the food, but suddenly said, “I think of Qiao Yushi.” Then, staring at his father’s face, he was not good at lying.
Qiao Yushi said that she disappeared before the age of eighteen for the first time, and he also said that he hated her. Brother Xiaoyong said that on the night she had a car accident, there was a man by her side, calling her Xiao Gege familiarly.
All these things made her infer that she might have been in love with Qiao Yushi and was his lover. Later, when the man appeared, she empathized, so Qiao Yushi hated her.
At that time, she was only eighteen years old, so these things were unlikely to happen. But only this kind of explanation can put everything together.
“Qiao Yushi, is it Qiao Yushi, president of the Qiao family, the boss of Donghai?” his father asked.
“Of course it is.”
“What do you think of him?” Liu Xiaoping asked, her expression no longer tense.
“I had a relationship with him before the car accident, right?” Zillog only looked at his father’s expression, believing that he could find the answer on his face.
His expression did not fluctuate, he was not surprised by her knowing the truth, there was nothing, which was really strange.
“This kid, how old you were before the car accident, what kind of relationship? Joe, we’ve never been in contact before, and you don’t even know Qiao Yushi.”
The father didn’t lie, he was too straightforward, and Zillog believed it.
“But…” She wanted to say something else, the phone rang, it was Jiang Donghai.
“Donghai is here, I’ll pick him up.” Zillog hurriedly greeted his parents and ran out before answering the phone.
“I bought some things in the supermarket, the old one, do I need anything else?” Jiang Donghai asked hard.
“I’ll pick you up, wait for me.” Zilog couldn’t find a breakthrough beside his parents, thinking that Jiang Donghai was the closest person to Qiao Yushi, so he must know something about him.
“No, please keep a distance from me. I dislike a woman like you.”
“You…” Zilog choked with anger.
I really want to insist on rushing out to ask him to ask him clearly, and I am afraid that after arguing with him, I can’t play the scene of a loving couple with her in front of my parents, so I have to patiently say: “Then you are finished buying, come by yourself. Just hung up the phone.
Soon Jiang Donghai arrived, and the parents greeted them happily and exchanged greetings.
Although the son-in-law is only an assistant, he is also Qiao Yushi’s confidant. When the Qi family was almost bankrupt, the old couple was very pleased that Zilog could find such a home.
“Donghai, have a drink with Dad today.” Qi father Zhang Luo said at the dinner table.
“Sorry Dad, Joe may always want me to accompany me out at any time at night, not drinking.”
“Alright, work matters.” Liu Xiaoping said.
