Xu Qiao never dreamed that when she opened the door in her lifetime, she would see the wealthy son of the Cheng family kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly and begging her to let him go.
But after learning the truth from Cheng Ye's incoherent narration, she didn't feel very comfortable.
Regardless of whether Cheng Lang did it or Cheng Ye did it, she is a victim, and it will not change the fact that "she lost to Wen Yue because of a third person intervening to make things difficult".
She is still very annoyed.
So when Cheng Ye held the sapphire bracelet up to her eyes devoutly as if offering a treasure, and asked "Do you want this bracelet?", Xu Qiao just picked up a broom in the courtyard and let him out with the bracelet on. Sweeping: "No rarity! I don't rarity anymore! Bring things that others don't want and give them to me. Is your EQ so low in the Turpan Basin?"
Cheng Ye ate a mouthful of broom hair, dodged in a panic, and shouted for injustice: "My second brother asked me to come!"
Xu Qiao slapped a broom in her hand like a rake: "You don't even look at the stove when you throw the pot? That dog man is a dog, but his EQ is at Mount Everest! How about I call him now and confront him to see if he wants you Come to apologize and explain, or let you send jewelry?"
"Don't, don't, I won't even kneel and kowtow to you once you make this phone call!" Cheng Ye, with a tuft of broom hairs on his head, raised his hands in disgrace, "Okay, to be honest, I didn't actually want to send you off. Your bracelet, I just want to ask, are you interested in buying it back? Not 20 million, I will give you a 50% discount! It’s okay if you can’t afford it! So what, I have no money to spend... "
"?"
"The begging is coming to your ancestors! No money to spend? No money to spend on the bar!" Xu Qiao slapped his broom hard on his face and completely swept him out of the house.

This incident was turned around and Xu Qiao told Zhu Li as a joke.
Xu Kangrong and Yan Lizhen hurried out early in the morning, and Xu Lie was in school again. She was alone at home all morning, wandering around the bungalow with her mobile phone, talking on the phone with Zhu Li, who was taking a lunch break at the company Congee: "Do you think there is no groove in this person's brain?"
"Calling people with mental retardation is so literate. It's really a pleasure to listen to you talking." Zhu Li on the other end of the phone laughed, "Hey, have you noticed that everyone who is against you has been poor recently, isn't that right? Tell those who follow you to prosper, and those who oppose you to perish?"
Xu Qiao fiddled with the flower arrangement in the vase in the living room boredly: "Then why hasn't Cheng Lang finished playing?"
"I didn't do anything wrong this time. I was crazy when I called you last night. The mess was cleaned up this morning. Are you not satisfied?"
Xu Qiao snorted lightly.
If it is reasonable, it is quite satisfactory, but why should women be reasonable
"Even explaining the misunderstanding is so superior, let Weibo and my brother do it for you, are you satisfied?"
"Isn't it because you scolded me that people are superior? You don't remember what happened last night?"
"What happened?" Xu Qiao looked innocent, vaguely remembering that she was playing wild in the bar, but the specific memory seemed to evaporate with the alcohol.
Zhu Li recited her cursing lines last night affectionately.
"...Oh, is that so? It turns out that after drinking, you can really tell the truth."
"Do you know how valuable a man's face is? To say that you are only interested in his money is to directly rub human dignity on the ground."
"But didn't he just look at my face at the beginning? Is it more noble to have an eye for sex than an eye for money? It's fair!"
Although I always felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but I couldn't refute it for a while, and Zhu Li gave up arguing with the top talkers.
"Anyway, if he doesn't come to me, I won't be able to find him! If he doesn't contact me within 24 hours, I'll treat him like a fart!" Xu Qiao groaned and said cruelly, Unexpectedly, I heard the password door close with a "click", and when I turned around, I saw Xu Kangrong coming back.
"Little girl, don't be so aggressive! Who will spoil you when you go out in the future?" Xu Kangrong said with a gloomy face.
Xu Qiao hung up the phone and asked strangely, "Why did you leave work so early?"
"We're talking about things nearby, and I'll come back for a quick meal." Xu Kangrong ordered the kitchen to serve the food, and invited her to serve with him.
"I've already eaten!" Xu Qiao refused.
"Then come and eat with your dad again!"
How can this be hypocritical? Xu Qiao looked at him in distaste, reluctantly sat down at the dining table, and filled a bowl of borscht to drink.
Xu Kangrong chatted with her while eating, asking what she did today, and interrogating her what she planned to do tomorrow.
She was impatient when asked: "Oh, don't worry, I have a headache, I won't go drinking these two days!"
"So?" Xu Kangrong glanced at her, "I wanted to arrange you to go out to play."
Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment and became more energetic: "Where are you going to play?"
"Aren't you unhappy that you didn't get the bracelet last night? Go to Europe to relax."
Upon hearing the news, Xu Qiao, who had been in the trough of her life for a long time, could hardly hold a spoon. She has already applied for a visa for the four major fashion weeks. She didn't go to any place during the fashion week, and her visa has not expired yet.
She put down the spoon and soup bowl and said excitedly, "Really? When are you leaving?"
"As long as you don't feel tired, you can do it tomorrow, and someone will book a plane ticket for you later."
"Of course I'm not tired, how can a beautiful girl be tired!" Xu Qiao got up immediately, all the bracelets and Cheng Lang had become passing clouds, and there was no need to wait for twenty-four hours, she could just let him go as a fart now , "I'll fly to Paris first, and I'll pack my luggage now, don't you regret it!"
"Look at how promising you are!" Xu Kangrong watched her fly upstairs like a little bee, angrily and amusedly, and when she left her sight, the smile on her lips disappeared without a trace.
He turned on his mobile phone which was set to silent mode, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw more than a dozen missed calls within five minutes, and went outside to call back: "How is the company?"
On the other end of the phone, the assistant spoke quickly: "The troublemakers have been suppressed, and the news has not been spread to the outside world for the time being, but Mr. Townsend made a surprise visit to investigate Jin Lu, and learned from those people that you are in arrears of wages. So the investment should be yellow... "
Xu Kangrong closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds.
"Mr. Xu," the assistant said anxiously, "The bank's loan limit is full, what should we do now?"
Xu Kangrong opened his eyes, looked back at the magnificent milky white bungalow behind him, and said softly after a long while: "You should book a ticket for Qiaoqiao to Paris tomorrow morning."
—
The matter of Xu Qiao's trip to Paris became the topic of conversation among the three groups of "Boss Lang and his prodigal brothers" in the next few days.
Cheng Lang and Xu Qiao haven't exchanged WeChat messages, and they are still lying in her cold address book blacklist. It was impossible to know her recent situation.
But the upper-class circle in Beicheng is so big, and the circle of friends in the upper-class circle is naturally smaller.
Jiang Fang, a local snake with great powers, contacted a WeChat friend who had only liked Xu Qiao's acquaintance, and tried his best to obtain the news of her circle of friends as soon as possible, and broadcast it in the group.
Ever since Cheng Lang gave him the canary with a cage because he mentioned "canary" that day, he felt more and more that Cheng Lang's attitude towards this woman was unusual, so he took it even harder. Xu Qiao teased him.
The style of painting in the group gradually distorted into—
Brother Fang: "[Picture] Hey, brother and sister, this dress looks pretty."
Brother Fang: "[Picture] Hey, brother and sister, this food is pretty good."
Brother Fang: "[Video] Wow, this nightclub with siblings is a bit fierce, the ratio of male to female is eight to one, isn't the wave always sour?"
In fact, Xu Qiao was not a person who liked to show off in her circle of friends before. She seldom made public such things as sesame seeds and mung beans, such as watching a show, being a high-end designer, and taking pictures with celebrities. After all, the circle of friends is basically fake friends.
But recently was an exception. The disappearance a while ago caused her to be troubled by rumors, and she was also unwilling to be reconciled to the tragedy of Waterloo in Lipai, so this trip to Paris, she told the public one by one, from eating, drinking and entertainment to basic necessities of life.
Jiang Fang's gossip material has also been enriched.
It's a pity that Cheng Lang never made a punctuation mark on this.
It is said that silence is the cruelest rejection. A week later, Jiang Fang was tired of being bored, worried that Cheng Lang would break up with him, and planned to ask him out to play cards and give money to make amends.
According to Gao Rui, Cheng Lang was obsessed with working overtime this week, and he didn't return to Xinglin Bay until late at night, so after Jiang got off work, he drove directly to the Lanchen headquarters to invite someone in person to show his sincerity.
Seeing him coming, Cheng Lang looked at him with dissatisfaction accumulated for a week: "Young Master Jiang's level of leisure is really surprising."
"Oh, it is said that women are like clothes, and brothers are like brothers and sisters. Calm down, I will never mention my brother again..."
Gao Rui winked at Jiang Fang vigorously, suggesting that he change his mind.
Jiang Fang slammed to the brakes: "Didi Baba, Didi Baba, Didi Baba..." RAP embarrassingly for a while, compared with Gao Rui: What's going on, is he really angry
Gao Rui nodded quietly.
If talking about that night, Xu Qiao's sentence "If I hadn't been poor at the beginning and my dad forced me to marry into a rich family, would I have fallen in love with that kind of dog man who has nothing but money" was a knowing blow to a man, So Jiang Fang's scratching operation in the past week is tantamount to sprinkling salt on a fresh wound-Xu Qiao's colorful circle of friends undoubtedly proves that once she has money, Cheng Lang is really a fart.
Gao Rui was sure that Cheng Lang was really angry this time, so even if he wanted to add fuel to the flames, he didn't dare to persuade him again.
The world is so big, this Xu Qiao can't do it, there will always be a second Xu Qiao. Gory thought.
Jiang Fang was terrified by Gao Rui's attitude, and he didn't dare to touch Cheng Lang's head, so he slipped away with a touch of oil on the soles of his feet: "Ah, then you're busy, I'll go first."
Cheng Lang made a "please" gesture.
The dead silence returned to the office. Cheng Lang didn't seem to want to leave work on time. Gao Rui was about to ask him what he had for dinner when he heard the phone on the desk vibrate.
Caller ID Jiang Fang.
While flipping through the information in his hand, Cheng Lang patiently connected the speakerphone: "So what?"
"There's big news..." Jiang Fang sounded a little shocked, "It's about Xu Qiao..."
Cheng Lang was about to press and hang up without saying a word.
"Don't hang up!" Jiang Fang stopped in time, "I just got the gossip that Mrs. Xu stole a lot of money and ran away with her son!"
Cheng Lang's index finger stopped suddenly above the red hang up button: "When did it happen?"
"It seems to be early this morning. Something is wrong. Yan Lizhen is such a snobbish person. If she abandons her family and her husband like this, I don't think Jin Lu is going to go bankrupt. Will Xu's family still owe usury and gambling debts?"
"Where's Xu Kangrong?" Cheng Lang frowned.
"I don't know his whereabouts for the time being, but the news of Yan Lizhen's escape has leaked out. He had to run even if he didn't want to. It is estimated that he may not be in the country anymore."
Gao Rui shivered, and immediately went out to call someone to check Xu Kangrong's whereabouts without Cheng Lang's explanation.
Jiang Fang on the other end thought for a moment, and thought of something: "Hey, it is impossible for the Xu family to be unprepared for such a big event. Xu Kangrong didn't deliberately arrange for Xu Qiao to go abroad this time, right?"
Cheng Lang held the phone to his ear: "Look at what's going on in her circle of friends today."
Jiang Fang hung up the phone. A quarter of an hour later, a screenshot was sent, showing that Xu Qiao had afternoon tea in Milan two minutes ago.
Jiang Fang: "It seems that I don't know yet."
Cheng Lang pressed the lock screen button, picked up his phone, got up and walked out.
Gao Rui hurried in at this time: "Mr. Cheng, I found out. Mr. Xu boarded the flight to Milan and landed in eight hours. It's strange... If you really want to avoid debts, you should go to those places in Southeast Asia where there are mixed fish and dragons. How did you end up in Milan?" Woolen cloth?"
Cheng Lang stood upright by the door without moving.
"Mr. Cheng?" Gao Rui called him anxiously.
"Because she's in Milan." Cheng Lang blinked slowly.
It took Gao Rui a while to realize who he was talking about.
From the looks of it, Xu Kangrong didn't intend to give up his daughter, but wanted to run away with Xu Qiao.
Although it is not sure how much debt the Xu family owes, this run must be a desperate attempt.
Cheng Lang stood by the door for three full minutes without advancing or retreating.
Three minutes later, he said, "Stop Xu Kangrong at Milan Airport."
