At the end of the day, Qiao Xi and Qiao's mother watched several scenes with the old lady.
The old lady was content.
A few people went to the hotel next door to the theater building for dinner. Mother Qiao ordered the brewed sweet rice wine. The old lady was good at drinking when she was young, but now that she is old, she still drinks too much.
Today is her old man's day of celebration, so Mother Qiao let her have a few more drinks.
"Xiaoxi, you can't drink." Mother Qiao reminded her daughter specially.
Qiao Xi nodded obediently, she doesn't know how to drink.
On the other side, Zhao Yuxi was sitting next to Huo Yu. She not only drank by herself, but also poured wine for Huo Yu. When she was reborn, she was so close to him for the first time.
Zhao Yuxi couldn't help but blush that it was the man she crazily liked in her previous life.
Qiao Xi was absent-minded, she kept paying attention to the phone, and her eyes lit up only when the phone vibrated.
"I'll go out and answer the phone." Qiao Xi got up and left the table with her phone.
She walked out quickly, Huo Yu's eyes followed her figure all the time, and he didn't look back until he couldn't see her.
Zhao Yuxi felt uncomfortable when she saw it.
In her last life, she knew that the white moonlight in Huo Yu's heart was Qiao Xi, and she would feel sad, but at least Qiao Xi died at that time. But now, Qiao Xi has been living a good life, and Huo Yu has eyes all over him.
Zhao Yuxi bit her lip and looked at Huo Yu aggrievedly, she kept pouring wine for him.
Close the door of the box, the light outside the corridor is bright.
Holding the phone, Qiao Xi anxiously asked Wen Qing on the other end of the phone, "Sister Qing, have you visited Lu's house? Why hasn't Lu Huo contacted me yet?"
Wen Qing said, "Xiao Xi, I heard bad news."
Qiao Xi stared blankly at the corridor, and subconsciously clenched her phone tightly: "Say it."
"Xiaoxi, after I went back, I found that Master Huo's things were gone. I had to turn off the fire and hide it under the cabinet. It's here with me now." Wen Qing continued: "I found out from other servants that Master Huo was in front of me." was sent away one night."
Qiao Xi's pupils shrank rapidly, "Lu Huo was sent away?"
"It should be. That night, someone saw Master Huo being pressed to the ground and getting into the car." Wen Qing realized that Housekeeper Lu should have deliberately pushed her away.
"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you something before." Wen Qing apologized: "Last time when you left, Lu Rongyao just appeared. I don't know if he saw you at that time. Now it seems that maybe he It was discovered."
Qiao Xi's eyes darkened. It should be that the matter between her and Lu Huo was discovered, and Mr. Lu forcefully sent Lu Huo away.
"Sister Qing, I see, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi returned to the box. She said to Mother Qiao, "Mom, I have something to do. I have to go back to City B now."
"Now?" Mother Qiao looked surprised, "Why are you in such a hurry that you need to hurry back now."
Grandma also stopped her chopsticks and looked at Qiao Xi, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened to my friend and I need to go back to him."
"It's so late now, can't I go back tomorrow? Who is so important?" Mother Qiao looked at her daughter worriedly.
"He is very important to me, and time is running out. Don't worry, mom, I will call you to report your safety when I go back."
Qiao Xi left in a hurry, Huo Yu stood up immediately, "I'll go see if Xiaoxi needs help."
With that said, he chased him out.
In the corridor, Huo Yu caught up with Qiao Xi, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to City B? If you have any difficulties, I can help."
The driver was already waiting outside, but Qiao Xi directly refused: "No need, I can handle it myself."
Huo Yu stared at Qiao Xi deeply, "Is it because of Lu Huo?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Qiao Xi avoided him and left quickly.
Huo Yu originally thought that Qiao Xi was just looking for a momentary novelty towards Lu Huo, but now, she left her birthday grandma and all of them to run to Lu Huo.
He didn't dare to think about why.
It was already early morning when we returned to City B.
As the weather brightened, Qiao Xi went to the back door of Lu's house. Sure enough, it was locked tightly, and there were guards at the door.
She went back to the main entrance to see Mr. Lu.
Butler Lu led her in.
Not long after the old man woke up, his face was sombre, and there were traces of weathering between his brows. He looked at Qiao Xi with sharp eyes.
"Good morning, Grandpa Lu." Qiao Xi had a slight smile on her face. She was pretty, even her eyes were pretty, and her smile was charming, and she looked harmless.
"You want to see me, what's the matter?" Mr. Lu picked up the freshly brewed tea, blew on it gently, and took a sip.
"I want to see Lu Huo." Qiao Xi directly stated his intention.
Mr. Lu put down his glass heavily, and his sharp eyes slashed at Qiao Xi, "I thought that the Qiao family's family would be very good, but I didn't expect to teach you such a sneaky and vicious behavior of breaking into other people's houses without permission."
"I'm sorry, it was my fault to go in and out of Lu's house without permission." Qiao Xi quickly admitted his mistake, "But please allow me to see Lu Huo."
"He's not at the Lu family." Mr. Lu didn't want to hold Qiao Xi accountable either. "In the future, there is no need for you two to communicate."
"Did it mean Lu Huo or you?" Qiao Xi asked.
Mr. Lu looked at Qiao Xi with sharp eyes, his face was stern and majestic, "It's not important, the two of you are not suitable."
Sensing the threat from the other party, Qiao Xi met the old man's sharp gaze, "Whether it's suitable or not is a matter between Lu Huo and me, not if others say it's not suitable."
Mr. Lu hit the nail on the head, "I'm afraid you need to go back and tell your parents about this."
Qiao Xi's breathing was stagnant. She never mentioned that she was with Lu Huo in front of her parents. It was because she wanted to heal Lu Huo's leg.
"I'll tell them that I like things about Lu Huo," Qiao Xi said.
Mr. Lu was not moved at all, "I don't care about your Qiao family, you and Lu Huo are not suitable."
Qiao Xi laughed angrily: "Grandpa Lu, falling in love is a matter between two people. Whether it's suitable or not is up to us."
"The Qiao family taught you this way? Naive, stupid, and reckless? Marriage in a wealthy family will never be between two people, and it will never be up to you. Lu Huo is a junior of the Lu family. He Who to be with is decided by the Lu family, not by himself."
Qiao Xi's eyes darkened.
Mr. Lu sighed and changed his tone: "Lu Huo has not received much love since he was a child. Your sudden appearance made him find a life-saving straw. If you abandon him, he will definitely fall into the abyss. It is better that you are not here. Together."
"Don't say that you like him like that. You are the daughter of the Qiao family. You can choose as many outstanding objects as you want. Your parents will never agree with you to be with Lu Huo. Don't ruin Lu Huo just because of a whim, you Go back and be the favored eldest lady, Lu Huo will have his own life."
Qiao Xi had a sneer on her lips. She was not affected by Mr. Lu's majesty at all, nor was she led by the nose, "The one who ruined him was not me, but you. You keep Lu Huo locked up. Come on, is this treating him well? You are defending him under the pretense, but you are actually torturing and hurting him."
Lu Huo felt inferior because of his physical disability and having a fish tail, so he was kept in captivity in compromise.
Among them, there is no lack of old man Lu's constant suppression of his mind and spirit, making him feel that he is a monster and should live in the dark. No one likes monsters. As long as he is found to be a monster, he will suffer. Discrimination, disgust and contempt.
"You..." Mr. Lu's face was full of anger, "The children taught by Qiao's family are sharp-tongued."
Qiao Xi ignored the sarcasm in his tone, she stopped arguing: "Today I came to see Lu Huo, you can't lock him up."
"Lu Huo is my grandson, I will not hurt him, he is not in good health and needs to recuperate." Master Lu asked Steward Lu to come in, "You don't need to say more, see off the guests."
"Miss Joe, please."
Qiao Xi's dark eyes turned cold, she knew that Mr. Lu would not let her see Lu Huo.
After leaving Lu's house, Qiao Xi went to find Wen Qing.
"Xiao Xi, have you seen Lu Huo?" Wen Qing knew that Lu Huo had been transferred, and after she herself was suspected by the Lu family, she proposed to resign this morning.
"No, Mr. Lu won't let me see him."
Wen Qing knows how good the relationship between Qiao Xi and Lu Huo is, and Qiao Xi's conditions are so good, she doesn't understand why the Lu family would say that they are together, "The flameout is inside, I don't know if it is Its owner is not around, and its appetite is not good."
Wen Qing took the flame out and handed it to Qiao Xi, "When I found it, it was hidden under the cabinet, so it must have been frightened."
Qiao Xi took over the flameout, "Sister Qing, thank you for taking care of it."
Back in the car, Qiao Xi called, "During this time, help me track and investigate the whereabouts of everyone in the Lu family. I want to know where they have been every day."
The other end of the phone responded immediately.
Qiao Xi turned off the flame while holding it, and the little guy lay obediently on her palm, and Xue Dingrong's head even rubbed against her hand, it was rare to be so obedient.
Qiao Xi touched its head, her eyes were calm, "It's okay, I will find him."
After returning from J city.
Zhao Yuxi found out that Qiao Xi had raised a rabbit, and that rabbit often ran to her door to urinate, as if she recognized the territory. She was so angry that she almost burned the rabbit.
However, the most important thing is that she saw that Qiao Xi was ill again.
Qiao Xi's little face lost all color, was sickly and pale, and even her lips were pale. Her whole body was like a delicate flower that had been drained of vitality, withering bit by bit.
Zhao Yuxi tried her best to suppress the joy on her face. She knew that Qiao Xi was going to die. Although the time was different from the previous life, Qiao Xi was still going to die.
The weather was fine in the afternoon.
In the room, the girl was sitting in front of the easel, the sun fell on her body, and her snow-white skin seemed to melt in the sun.
"Master, you still have two months, you will definitely not die." The rich little milk's voice was full of sadness.
"I know."
Qiao Xi's expression was tranquil, and she slowly described the scenery on the painting.
At this time, the door of the room opened, and Mother Qiao walked in.
"Xiaoxi." She came to her daughter.
Mother Qiao saw her daughter painting a blue sea, and a golden fish tail could be vaguely seen in the sea.
In the past few days, her daughter has had two attacks of illness, plus the one in J City, she has already had three attacks, so she has to worry.
Seeing her slender and frail daughter, Mother Qiao felt distressed, "Huo Yu is here. He is waiting downstairs and wants to see you."
In the past few days, Huo Yu came to Qiao's house every day, bringing various supplements with him every time. He was very worried about Qiao Xi's health.
Mother Qiao saw his enthusiasm and was a little more satisfied with Huo Yu.
"Mom, I don't want to see him, let him go." Qiao Xi hooked each stroke lightly, her golden fish tail glistening in the sea.
Mother Qiao sighed. Since Huo Yu came back from abroad, her daughter has been very indifferent to him. She has no enthusiasm for Huo Yu. she.
Mother Qiao didn't force her, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and tell him, take a good rest, don't draw for too long, it will hurt your nerves."
"Well, I know."
Mother Qiao left, she closed the door, and the room became quiet.
On the drawing paper, the tip of the pen gradually outlined a boy's face.
After a while, Qiao Xi's cell phone rang suddenly.
"Miss, we followed Lu Rongyao just now, but lost it."
The paintbrush in Qiao Xi's hand stopped, and there was an extra stroke on the boy's head, "Where is the place where you lost it?"
The person on the other end of the phone reported a place name to Qiao Xi.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi repainted on the extra stroke just now, and in a blink of an eye, small green leaf buds appeared on the boy's head.
She put down her pen with satisfaction, changed her clothes, and went outside.
The sun is falling on the easel. In the painting, in a blue sea, the stunning boy has a golden fish tail, and his body is faintly under the blue sea.
In a remote house.
Holding the tray, the young female nurse walked into the master room on the first floor, "Master, it's time for you to drink your medicine."
In the past few days, Lu Huo's illness has not healed, and repeatedly, he did not take a good rest, escaped several times, and was pressed back by bodyguards.
The young man is very smart, but unfortunately his legs cannot walk, so it is difficult to escape at all.
The female nurse heard that after Lu Huo fled yesterday, he abandoned his wheelchair and hid under a roadside ditch in the village. When bodyguards found him, his white shirt was covered in mud and foul water.
I don't know why he tried to escape.
The female nurse put the medicine on the table, "Master, the medicine is freshly cooked, and it's still hot." She reminded.
The teenager sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass door quietly looked out of the balcony without responding.
The boy's body is thin, his waist is tall and straight, and he sits upright, making his figure look more lonely and cold.
The young female nurse turned around to go out to work, but the next second, she was stopped by the boy.
"Lend me your mobile phone." It may be that he has not spoken for many days, and the boy's deep voice is very hoarse.
The female nurse said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't have a mobile phone with me, and I don't have any communication tools. My mobile phone was confiscated on the first day I came to work here."
Lu Huo's eyes darkened.
At this time, Lu Rongrong walked in with the doctor at the door.
He looked unhappy, "Lu Huo, do you really want to die, you can't move a pair of legs, and you still play escape?"
Lu Rongrong asked the doctor to see Lu Huo quickly.
"I heard that you hid under the waterway? You don't think it's dirty, that's right, a cripple like you is really suitable for that environment." Lu Rongrong stood far away, as if he disliked Lu Huo's body getting wet in the gutter the stench.
His tone was very impatient. The old man was worried that Lu Huo's illness was not cured, so he asked him to bring a doctor to see Lu Huo. Once or twice was fine, but Lu Guangrong came down several times and was very annoyed.
Lu Huo ignored him.
Lu Rongyao was upset. He took out his mobile phone and walked up to Lu Huo. He opened the news on the Internet, "You are here to die or live. What's the use? Do you still think that Miss Qiao remembers you? Look, the Huo family recently That Huo Yu went in and out of Qiao's house every day, and it was rumored that the two of them were about to get engaged."
"I heard that the two of them are childhood sweethearts? The eldest lady of the Qiao family is just playing with you. Only you, a cripple, take it seriously and want to escape every day to find her. Don't embarrass our Lu family."
Lu Rongrong sneered, "Don't even think about it, who would really like a cripple? Especially the family background of the Qiao family is comparable to that of our Lu family, and only you will believe that the other party will not want an excellent childhood sweetheart. like you."
Lu Huo's lips were very dry, without any blood color, his eyes were very dark, and the fundus of his eyes was as dark as ink that could not be melted, with a bit of stubbornness, "This has nothing to do with you."
Unless Qiao Xi told him in person that he didn't want him, he wouldn't believe a word other people said.
Lu Rongyao took back his phone, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and laughed out loud, "I just woke you up because I thought you were stupid and deceiving yourself."
Lu Huo looked at Lu Rongrong, his dark eyes were a little wild, "You are more like a gossip."
Lu Rongrong didn't expect that Lu Huo would dare to speak hard.
He was so angry that he wanted to do something, but Lu Huo turned around and completely ignored him.
Lu Rongrong urged the doctor angrily, "You haven't finished the diagnosis and treatment yet? A cripple doesn't care whether he dies or not. Maybe he dies. It's a relief for him."
The doctor didn't dare to offend Lu Rongyao, so he hurriedly told Lu Huo to pay attention to rest, take medicine on time, and stop getting cold in the water.
Lu Rongrong walked out of Lu Huo's room angrily. He said to the two bodyguards: "Keep an eye on him. You can't let him step out of this house, and you can't climb out. If he escapes, you know the consequences."
As he said that, he turned around, stepped on the cat that jumped out of nowhere, and almost fell down.
Lu Rongrong stabilized his body, and he was furious: "Why are there cats here!"
He stretched out his foot and tried to kick the cat away, but the cat dodged away and he missed it and almost fell again.
"Young master." The bodyguard quickly reached out to help him.
Lu Rongrong's eyes were red with anger, his brows were full of violence, "Who raised the cat? Get it out of here for me."
"This is the cat of a nearby resident. Recently, different cats have come in every day."
One of the bodyguards said: "If you drive them away, they will come again the next day, and the cats will only leave when the residents come to claim them. Otherwise, they will come in again in a blink of an eye."
Lu Rongrong felt unlucky, "Okay, you guys look after Lu Huo."
After exhorting, he strode away, completely unwilling to stay here.
A black car drives slowly.
The car window was half down, revealing the delicate face of the girl in the car.
"Is Lu Rongyao's car lost nearby?" Qiao Xi asked.
"Miss, in the afternoon, the other party seemed to have discovered our people, deliberately led us around, and then threw our people away."
Qiao Xi was silent for a while, then she said, "Look around to see if there are any clues."
"Yes, miss."
The black car drove low-key into a nearby residential area.
In front, a little boy is crying, and a young girl beside him is coaxing him.
Qiao Xi's eyes fell on the back of the opponent's hand, the young girl has green energy.
"Don't cry, I'll go find ice cream with you." The young girl wiped away the boy's tears, "When did you lose it?"
The little boy was sobbing, he blinked vigorously, two teardrops rolled down from his eye sockets, he was so pitiful, "I don't know, after watching the animation, the ice cream disappeared."
The young girl rubbed the little boy's head, "Sister Song's cat also ran away yesterday, and was found in someone else's house. Maybe the ice cream was there too. Don't cry, I'll take you to find the cat."
The car passed by the two of them at a slow speed, and Qiao Xi heard the young girl outside the car window sigh, "Why are all the cats running into that house recently?"
After a while, Qiao Xi said, "Uncle Chen, stop the car."
The car stopped suddenly.
The little boy and the young girl saw the door of the car in front of them being opened suddenly.
They saw an overly beautiful girl get out of the car. The other party was wearing a crescent white skirt. In the sun, the girl was too good-looking.
She came towards them.
"You just said that the cats ran to that house, where did you mean?"
The other party's voice was nice, the little boy forgot to cry, and he stared blankly at the overly beautiful big sister in front of him.
The young girl came back to her senses and said, "I don't know how to describe the road, it's a bit far from here."
Qiao Xi said, "It's okay, you can take me there."
The other party wasn't asking if she could take it, but asked her to lead the way directly. Looking at the other party's overly good-looking big eyes, the young girl felt that she couldn't say no, "Okay, I'll take you there. You lost your cat too? "
A smile finally appeared in Qiao Xi's dark eyes, "No, I lost my little goldfish."
