Mother Qiao came back that night.
She seemed to have regained her composure, the corners of her eyes were dizzy with red, and she might have cried a lot. Qiao Xiyin asked her, but she was unwilling to reveal even a word.
Mother Jiang and Father Qiao had already left, and they did not appear again until Qiao Xiyin was discharged from the hospital half a month later.
It is estimated that only the three parties involved know how far things have developed.
The fire did not burn Qiao Xiyin, so Qiao Xiyin did not take this matter to her heart. The hospital bedside was particularly lively these days, with newspaper reporters coming one after another. Qiao Xiyin was even awarded a banner by the school and selected for the city's annual "Most Beautiful Teacher" selection.
Qiao Xiyin smiled gently and harmlessly throughout the whole process, but in fact, she was really looking forward to living a pure life for a day.
It was early May when I was discharged from the hospital. There was originally an author meeting scheduled for Labor Day, but naturally Qiao Xiyin couldn't go. However, He Yunchao took half a month's leave before her and happened to miss the meeting.
During this period, Qiao Xiyin's class was taught by another history teacher in her grade. When she walked into the classroom, the cheers of the whole class almost echoed throughout the corridor, "Congratulations, Teacher Xiao Qiao, on being discharged from the hospital."
"It's so good that it's okay. Wuwuwu."
"Miss you so much"
Qiao Xiyin hurriedly gestured to everyone not to disturb other classes, and then smiled and said, "I miss you too."
After happily staying at school all day, Qiao Xiyin was in an extremely good mood.
Although she was in the hospital these days and had stopped writing, she was accompanied by He Yunchao every day. She lay on the bed to catch up on her sleep and practice. Her cultivation was slowly rising, and she was just around the corner to return to her previous level.
Now that I see the cute smiling faces of the children again, I am naturally happy.
Tonight is her evening self-study. After not seeing each other for half a month, the frequency of classmates asking questions has increased. Qiao Xiyin has not been idle during the entire evening self-study. The quarrel was getting louder, and even after shouting a few times they couldn't stop it, so Qiao Xiyin just let them go.
She went back to the office to pack her things and was about to leave. The girl stood at the door and called her, "Teacher Xiao Qiao."
It's Jiang Miaoyan.
After not seeing each other for half a month, her sharpness has softened a lot, and she speaks much more kindly to people.
Qiao Xiyin knew clearly what she had experienced these days.
She stopped and smiled gently at her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Miaoyan quickly lowered her head.
She held the cuffs of her school uniform with her hands and straightened her back, fearing that she would lose half of her momentum. She took a deep breath to relieve her nervousness, "Sister Xiao Qiao."
After that, without waiting for Qiao Xiyin to answer, she ran away quickly.
Only two people knew the meaning of her "sister", and Jiang Miaoyan also knew about their relationship.
Time passes in apparent calm.
On Friday, Qiao Xiyin received a call from Ms. Jiang, inviting her to Jiang’s home for an interview.
Qiao Xiyin pinched her fingers.
This scene was so familiar, and she knew that she was about to face the climax of the original owner's life, which was also the end.
One day later, Qiao Xiyin went to Jiang's house as invited. Her class is in the afternoon and she has nothing to do in the morning, so she is just free.
There were only Jiang's mother and servants in Jiang's house. Jiang Miaoyan was in school and would not come back until noon. As for Qiao's father, the conflict between Jiang's mother and Qiao's father was enough for him to move out.
Seeing her looking around, Mother Jiang turned around and said calmly, "I signed the divorce agreement."
Qiao Liangzhi hasn't agreed yet, but whether he agrees or not, Jiang's mother will definitely divorce in this marriage.
She cannot tolerate an unfaithful marriage. She has no shortage of men. Although it is difficult to let go of the relationship of more than ten years, Jiang's mother also knows in her heart that he dares to cheat on major marriage matters. Half of the company is in his hands, and how many of the things he does are true to what he usually says? How much of your words come from your heart
Just because she didn't dare to think about it, Mother Jiang decided to make a quick decision.
She had a long talk with Jiang Miaoyan. Even if the two divorced, Qiao Liangzhi would still be Jiang Miaoyan's father, but no longer Jiang's mother's husband.
Maybe this will hurt her daughter, but the gap has already formed. If she pretends to maintain the superficial harmony of the family for two years, sooner or later she will fall out in front of her daughter, which will make the trouble even more ugly and affect her mood in studying.
Might as well deal with it now.
Qiao Xiyin responded with a modal word.
She didn't know what to say for any other answer. Congratulations
Mother Jiang looked at Qiao Xiyin with complicated eyes. At this time, Qiao Xiyin was very unfazed and indifferent. The impact of this incident on her was far less than Jiang's mother imagined.
She thought Qiao Xiyin would be sad, but her calmness was somewhat unexpected.
"He left me and my mother more than ten years ago," Qiao Xiyin added, "We have been strangers for a long time."
Mother Jiang was speechless.
For such a simple reason, she couldn't understand that he had no feelings for Qiao Liangzhi at all. He was a stranger, so how could he be emotionally affected by a stranger
She just thought that if she was sad, Qiao Xiyin shouldn't have it easy either.
The same thing happened to Qiao Xiyin's mother that day. She wasn't as crazy as she imagined. She just calmly sorted things out, and then left alone. The whole process was so calm that it was like the oppressive hot air before a heavy rain on a summer night. No matter how hot it was, In one minute, a torrential downpour will come.
"I just," Mother Jiang's tone was no longer strong, "I just feel ashamed of Yanyan."
Qiao Xiyin listened to Jiang's mother's lyricism for two hours.
She also did not express her own opinions, allowing Jiang's mother to share her inner world. She seemed to use her as an outlet to express all her mentality during this period, more like a real wife and mother.
In a blink of an eye, it was past twelve o'clock, and the school was over. Qiao Xiyin looked at her mobile phone and said goodbye to Jiang's mother. She had to return to school before two o'clock.
Mother Jiang didn't show any intention of keeping her for lunch.
She was about to walk out the door, but by chance, she saw someone opening the door from the outside.
"Mom" Jiang Miaoyan's voice stopped suddenly.
The people standing in the living room, they will meet in two hours.
Her mood immediately dropped, and she politely called "Teacher Xiao Qiao."
When she found out that Teacher Xiao Qiao was her half-sister, Jiang Miaoyan felt conflicted.
On the one hand, she hated this extra relative and hated being related to people who had nothing to do with or even hated her; on the other hand, she longed to communicate with Qiao Xiyin, wanted to get close to her, and get her attention and praise. .
Unexpectedly, she came directly to her home.
Qiao Xiyin nodded and said hello to Jiang's mother again. She heard Jiang's mother say to Jiang Miaoyan, "Yanyan, give me a gift for you, Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xiyin wanted to refuse, but Jiang Miaoyan hesitated and agreed.
This time, Qiao Xiyin no longer resisted.
Jiang Miaoyan's movements were slower, and she walked behind Qiao Xiyin without speaking for a long time.
Qiao Xiyin thought she would want to say something, so she paid some attention to her, but accidentally missed the step.
"Teacher Xiao Qiao"
Jiang Miaoyan quickly grabbed her with quick eyes and hands. She hesitated for a moment, then supported Qiao Xiyin and said, "Teacher Xiao Qiao"
how come
Just now, she actually had the idea that if she pushed Qiao Xiyin now, she would not simply twist her foot, but fall down.
But how could she do this
Teacher Xiao Qiao was her savior. Even if she didn't like her, she shouldn't do such a despicable thing.
The moment she realized that her foot was on the wrong foot, Qiao Xiyin felt really nervous.
Behind her was Jiang Miaoyan, and she couldn't stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
But sure enough, the plot was changed by her. Jiang Miaoyan did not push her down the stairs as written in the original plot, but supported her.
Now, the disaster destined by the original owner was over, and she no longer had to worry about anything.
Qiao Xiyin was in a good mood. She turned around and smiled brightly at Jiang Miaoyan, "I'm fine. Thank you. See you in the afternoon."
Her smile was bright, and Jiang Miaoyan couldn't keep up with her rhythm for a while. She was stunned by her laughter, and she couldn't speak smoothly, "I um."
Teacher Xiao Qiao laughed
It’s really beautiful.
After this episode, Qiao Xiyin's life finally got back on track.
Several seriously injured students in the class also returned to the classroom one after another, and everything was moving forward for the better.
Well, that's all there is to it.
In the morning, Qiao Xiyin was correcting her homework in the office and received a call from He Yunchao.
"Qiaoqiao, are you going out to eat at noon?"
This was already the second week after she returned to school. He Yunchao took half a month's leave and had a lot of things to deal with, so he didn't see her in the past few days, and their communication was limited to WeChat.
It was rare that he called her to invite her to dinner, otherwise Qiao Xiyin would have thought she was raising a boyfriend in the clouds.
"Okay, the third period in the afternoon is my class," Qiao Xiyin glanced at the class schedule, "Where can we meet?"
"A new hot pot restaurant has opened in Times Square." He Yunchao knew what she liked and struck a chord with her as soon as he opened his mouth. "My off work hours are not stable. I will call you when the time comes. You don't have to come out too early."
It's common to work overtime here, unlike teachers, who can say anything as long as they don't drag the class.
Qiao Xiyin thought for a while and said, "No, I'll go to your company to find you."
He Yunchao ""
"Is this what your company is called?" She reported the name of a building. "Hey, it's pretty easy to find. It's near the subway entrance. There are a lot of office buildings over there. Which building and department are you in?"
He Yunchao had never taken the initiative to acknowledge his work in front of her. Of course, Qiao Xiyin knew what he was doing. She just wanted to tease him and see how deflated he was.
He Yunchao tried to save the situation: "No, no need. There are many offices in our company and it's not easy to find them."
"It's okay," Qiao Xiyin said in a relaxed tone, "I can just go there for a walk."
He Yunchao “really doesn’t need it”
"Will it trouble you?" Qiao Xiyin showed her trump card, her voice softened by a second, "Okay then."
He Yunchao hated to see her like this. He was silent for a moment and gave the address.
