Chapter 22

In the bar box, Zhu Li looked in surprise at his hand that blocked Xu Qiao's words halfway, and once again deeply realized that she is electricity, light, or the only myth, and she really can't stop her light-speed mouth.

But after thinking about it, it's good if he didn't stop him, let the dog man prick up his ears and listen carefully, don't feel better about yourself with a few broken money in your pocket all day long.

What's the matter, the little princess just got slapped in the face by you, and she still has to eat the candy you sent

Thinking of this, Zhu Li didn't care how suffocated the other end of the phone was, and directly raised the phone to Xu Qiao's mouth: "Come on, I'll give you the microphone, and spit out all your grievances tonight!"

Xu Qiao actually didn't drink much tonight, the key is that he was too passionate and thirsty, he had a glass of whiskey on the left and a glass of brandy on the right, and he drank it like a soda. live.

So it's no wonder that she repeated the accusation against Cheng Lang for the eighteenth time as fresh as before—

"There are so many jewels there, I just want a bracelet, is it greedy? Is it too much?"

"Wen Yue and I fought so hard that she couldn't even scream, and the result... In the end, Cheng Yaojin broke out halfway, and raised it to 20 million in one go!"

"I haven't bought new jewelry for a long time. Do you think this thing is annoying?"

"The one surnamed Wen, while standing on the front line with Zhao Baoxing, imitated my dressing and dressing, and always acted as if I imitated her... I just don't want to lose to her..."

"Why did that dog man snatch the bracelet I liked! Why did he throw money and hit me in the face!"

"Why don't you just let him drink a mouthful of salt water... You will be rewarded, you will be rewarded!"

"He's dead, let him die at the toll booth in early winter, and bury him with the fallen leaves of Xinglin Bay..." Xu Qiao burped, stood up dangling with the bottle, and pushed Zhu Li, "Come on, Play him a song - "I'm going to the spa, you go to hell"!"

Zhu Li let out a soft "hiss", wondering if such a poisonous mouth could make Cheng Lang dumb, when he looked down at his phone, the call was over.

Judging by the length of time, Cheng Lang probably hung up the phone unbearably when he learned that he would be buried by fallen leaves in Xinglin Bay.

People who don't get drunk easily, if they really want to get drunk, that kind of energy can turn you upside down.

In the second half of the night, when Zhu Li snorted and dragged Xu Qiao into the back seat of the car, he was already so tired that his parents didn't recognize him.

Just now Xu Kangrong called to ask about Xu Qiao's whereabouts. She was afraid that if she told the truth, the old father would no longer care about his daughter's money in a fit of anger, so she lied that Xu Qiao was a guest at her home.

As a result, Xu Kangrong heard something was wrong - because of Xu Kangrong's gambling, the elders of Zhu's family have always disliked Xu's family.

The lie was exposed, so Zhu Li had no choice but to send Xu Qiao back to Xijiang Mansion that night.

The Bentley drove unimpeded on the empty road at a speed of 80 mph, and there was no sound in all directions.

Xu Qiao entered the burnout period from the excited period after drinking, tilted her head against the car pillow, and fell asleep comfortably, but just after a few minutes of rest, the hand waved in the air again: "Handkerchief!"

Zhu Li scolded "Trouble", took out a silk scarf from her bag and stuffed it into her hand: "Am I your mother?"

Xu Qiao seemed to hear it in a half-dream and half-awake state. She squinted her eyes and wrinkled her nose aggrievedly: "Don't mention my mother, she is too stingy, I will ignore her!"

Zhu Li was taken aback. This is the transition from the love story to the family love story, are you starting to complain about your stepmother

Perhaps it was because Xu Qiao seldom mentioned Yan Lizhen's bad things, Zhu Li asked curiously, "What happened to your mother?"

As far as she knew, Xu Qiao was quite transparent about family reorganization.

In Xu Qiao's words, as a stepmother, do you really expect others to treat you as your own? On the face of it, it's okay to love you and pet you, but selfishly fighting for some family property for her son is not a big hatred. Anyway, she only wants to eat, drink and have fun, and has no interest in being a strong woman. If she doesn't want things, Yan Lizhen will take them.

What you don't want doesn't matter. Under the same roof, everyone prospers and the other suffers, tearing off each other's mask of harmony, fighting to the death and killing the whole family, how happy is it

What's more, before Xu Kangrong forced her to go on a blind date and work this autumn, he had held her in his palm as a treasure for so many years. Xu Lie, who quarreled with her face-to-face, and fought desperately for her when things happened, had such a father and younger brother. Selfishness naturally chose humility.

Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, if you don't care, you won't be sad. There is a word called rare and confused. Those who live in false warmth and prosperity are not smart people.

So Zhu Li was even more puzzled, what did Yan Lizhen do this time, to make Xu Qiao so volatile.

Xu Qiao didn't answer for a long time, Zhu Li was about to inquire about the secrets of the wealthy family, but she heard her muttering: "She only wrote to me this year, and after reading the last one, there will be no more. She is really stingy. Why don't you write more letters..."

Zhu Li was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that his inner drama went to the wrong theater.

Xu Qiao was talking about her biological mother.

Now Zhu Li didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing to make Xu Qiao cry, so he patted her on the shoulder and sighed.

A quarter of an hour later, the car stopped at Xu's house in Xijiang Mansion, and a servant immediately came out to pick up Xu Qiao.

Zhu Li handed the wobbly person to Aunt Zhang, and was about to say goodbye when he heard a crisp "bang" from the building, like the sound of porcelain being smashed to the ground.

She was taken aback: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes flickered, she lowered her head and explained: "Maybe Madam accidentally knocked over the vase at night, I'll go and have a look."

Zhu Li looked suspiciously at the bright window on the third floor, nodded and left.

Aunt Zhang sent Xu Qiao back to the bedroom on the second floor, and asked someone to settle her down. After walking to the third floor, she knocked on the door of the master bedroom carefully: "Mr. Xu, madam?"

Xu Kangrong's displeased voice came from inside: "It's okay, don't come in."

Aunt Zhang stood anxiously by the door.

In the room, the low-pitched quarrel continued.

"You didn't say where the money came from, did you? You think I don't know that you went to Las Vegas last week!"

"Are you looking for someone to check on me?"

"You are sneaky first, so what if I check you? The money you gave Qiaoqiao tonight is not a small sum. While saying that the company's capital turnover is difficult, while throwing money like this, what on earth are you trying to do? If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell Qiaoqiao that Jinlu's hole is not filled at all!"

After a moment of silence in the room, Xu Kangrong sighed: "Yes, I got the money from gambling. I have rarely been to that kind of place these years. This time it is really to fill in the company's hole."

"Then you use the money to fill in the company, what did you spend it on her?"

"This alone is not enough! A while ago, Lanchen attacked Fantui, and Fantui lost many investors. Mr. Tang, who initiated the jewelry auction this time, is one of them. I have talked to him twice, see His attitude is that he intends to turn to Jin Lu. Jin Lu can't show his timidity at this time, and Qiao Qiao will throw some money at his auction to reassure him, and the funds will be in place!"

After Xu Kangrong finished explaining, he walked out of the room bitterly, looked at Aunt Zhang, his face softened, and asked softly, "Is Qiaoqiao back?"

"I'm back, I just fell asleep."

Xu Kangrong nodded: "I'll go see her."

Xu Qiao woke up amidst a burst of curses.

After a hangover, she had a splitting headache. She couldn't tell the source of the scolding for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that it was his father who was scolding Cheng Lang downstairs: "This bullying thing is really not a thing! Look! With such a face, if you have a few stinky money, you can get around everywhere!"

— Presumably she learned about last night's auction and was defending her.

Xu Qiao covered her mouth and yawned, and went downstairs with her slippers on. She saw Xu Kangrong sitting at the dining table with her mobile phone in her hands, without taking a sip of breakfast on the table, just venting her anger on the mobile phone.

She walked over and asked in surprise, "Is this even on the news?"

Xu Kangrong looked up at her bleary-eyed look, pointed to the hangover soup at the other end of the table for her to drink, and said in his mouth: "That's right, it's a hot topic on Weibo, and everyone in the city knows about it! Thanks to me I connected you with this kid before..."

Xu Qiao rubbed her temples, suspecting that she had lost her memory due to drinking: "Did you make a mistake? Didn't you lead me the line of the third child of the Cheng family?"

"Isn't that the third child of the Cheng family?" He turned the phone screen and pointed to her. "The nose, eyes, eyebrows, and mouth are right. Dad knew you like good-looking ones, so he picked them for you."

Xu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then fixed her eyes on the written report above Cheng Ye's photo, and read it word by word: "Young Master Cheng boldly pursues love and spends a lot of money for his beauty?"

"Young Master Cheng boldly pursues love and spends a lot of money for his confidante?" A burst of laughter resounded in the vice president's office on the 62nd floor of Lanchen Group's headquarters.

Jiang Fang leaned back on the sofa, fed the canaries in the cage with one hand, and slid the screen of the phone with the other hand until his muscles twitched from laughter: "The reporter asked the auctioneer for verification, and the auctioneer said that there was indeed such a thing..."

"Wen Yue responded through Sina Entertainment that the two are just friends and have returned the sapphire bracelet. Thank you Young Master Cheng for your love..."

Enough laughing, Jiang Fang put down his phone and looked at Cheng Lang who was sitting on the boss's chair opposite: "I said, what are you busy with early in the morning? This trending search costs a lot of money, right? You're a big brother, it's too late." I can bear it!"

There was no smile on Cheng Lang's face, and he said in a low voice: "My brother wants to show off his wealth, so of course he has to be satisfied."

"You little brat, this time it's miserable..." Jiang Fang shook his head with emotion, "Wen Yue can return the bracelet to your brother, but your brother can't return the bracelet to the auctioneer. 20 million was in vain, and there was a lot of trouble. Everyone knows the joke, do you think your second uncle and cousin will both be sent to the hospital?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Lang's cell phone rang.

Cheng Lang glanced at the caller ID and pressed the caller.

The voice that sounded like mourning exploded: "Second brother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! I'm here to kneel down for you right now! Don't mess with me, second brother... Dad and eldest brother confiscated all my pocket money Qian, I'm going to be kicked out of the house right now!"

"You don't need to kneel with me. When will you explain this to Ms. Xu clearly, and when will the hot search be withdrawn." Cheng Lang cut off the phone and threw the phone aside.

Jiang Fang let out a "huh" and said, "Why don't you explain it yourself? Women need to be coaxed."

Cheng Lang raised his eyelids: "People don't need me to coax them."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Jiang Fang couldn't help but wondered curiously: "Why don't we need it? Are there any women in this world who don't care about our Boss Lang?"

Cheng Lang didn't speak, bowed his head to sign the document, and his pen was flying like a phoenix, one "wave" after another.

"Hey, what men talk about is always love words, and what women talk about is always angry words. Just listen to it. Your own woman, don't be so stingy."

Cheng Lang frowned and raised his head: "Speaking is a bit measured, I have nothing to do with her, and I don't mean that to her."

Jiang Fang was amused: "It's not that far, I can see it, but it's not that interesting?" He pointed to the birdcage in front of him, "It's really not interesting at all, magpies, sparrows and tits, what's wrong with you raising them? Do you want to raise this canary?"
