Mom, you have a bad memory. Let me recall for you. Eleven years ago, our family was desperate. It was winter, and we stayed at their house for three days. When Xiaomo was eating, he accidentally broke a bowl. How long did my aunt scold Xiaomo? The whole night, she was scolding him. Did my dear uncle persuade my aunt? Did he say a word to help us? Xiaomo was so scared, don’t you remember it? The next morning, it was still snowing outside. I dragged you out. We would rather freeze to death on the street than suffer that anger. In the past eleven years, their family avoided us like the plague. I didn’t lend money to them, first because Xiaomo and Xiaochi needed money for treatment, and second, I will always remember the humiliation that family made me suffer. Mom, you say I love to hold grudges, and I admit it. I just want to remember that I will never repay people who are not good to me with kindness. "
Su Yun stammered, "I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, Mom shouldn't be so soft-hearted."
Wen Qiao sat at the desk blankly, his chest felt choked up, his eyes were sore, and he said in a muffled voice: "Mom, I'm a little tired, and I may have spoken too much. Can you leave me alone for a while?"
After only two days away, Wen Qiao began to miss Fu Nanli again.
Because when he was around, it seemed like she didn't have to fight herself.
As long as he was by her side, she inexplicably felt at ease, as if she didn't have to worry even if the sky fell.
Dependence will create inertia. She felt a little cold in her heart, and the coldness spread to the palms of her hands. She hugged her knees and tried to calm her emotions.
She told herself over and over again that she could not rely on others and that she was not qualified to rely on others.
Wen Qiao, everything depends on you.
His video call came in the evening. It was early morning. He was drinking coffee in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was wearing a suit with an aviation badge on his chest. It seemed that Xu Shen was sorting out documents next to him.
"What's wrong... Are you hurt?" His hand reached out instinctively, as if wanting to touch her forehead.
It wasn't until I touched the cold screen that I came to my senses.
The person was not in front of him, but on the other side of the screen, tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Wen Qiao touched the wound nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I just did it accidentally."
He took a sip of coffee and said in a low voice: "Do you need me to send you a bodyguard?"
Wen Qiao shuddered: "Ah? No... No need, it wasn't caused by a fight, I just bumped into the door by accident, and there happened to be a barb on the door, so it made a small cut."
If the bodyguards followed her 24 hours a day, she would have been exposed long ago.
Xu Shen placed a stack of information next to him.
"You're going to be busy with work, right? Then I won't bother you."
"The meeting will be in twenty minutes. It's at the hall across the street, a five-minute walk. It's about the International Aviation Workers' Union."
What I mean is, I still have ten minutes to chat with you.
Wen Qiao misunderstood: "Then you are busy, I'm hanging up."
After saying that, he hung up. Fu Nanli paused with his hand holding the phone in the air and glanced at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen, who was sorting out the documents, stopped what he was doing and asked, "Captain, am I interrupting your conversation?"
"So you knew? So you did it on purpose?"
Xu Shen: …
"I... I just realized it. How could I have done it on purpose?"
The man had already stood up and walked out.
Xu Shen hurriedly followed behind with a pile of information in his arms: "Captain, I really didn't mean it. I think you and Xiao Wen are a perfect match. I sincerely wish you all the best."
