Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9024: Under the cliff, there is an abyss (10)

In fact, she rarely sees Xiao Mingzhang.

Fortunately, she knew that he was clean and had no scandals. Otherwise, she would not be able to trust such a man in the company.

At this moment, she approached Xiao Mingzhang and picked up the wine glass: "Brother Mingzhang, let me toast you too. Today is dad's birthday. Dad is the protagonist and we are supporting roles. We must make dad happy."

With that said, she poured half a glass of red wine for Xiao Mingzhang.

"Brother Mingzhang, I'll finish the wine in the glass first, and you have to give me face and drink it all."

Xiao Qiaoqiao drank the red wine in the glass in one breath. Xiao Mingzhang then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.

"Brother Mingzhang, my father didn't let me drink in the past. He always said that girls can't drink in their homes. One time, I was really curious and secretly took a few sips, and you happened to see me. I thought you were going to sue, but in the end, you Not only did he not complain, he also helped me cover up.”

"It all happened a long time ago. We had a very good relationship at that time."

As he said this, the corners of Xiao Qiaoqiao's lips rose.

Xiao Mingzhang listened carefully, but it seemed as if he was listening to a story. The protagonist in the story was him, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with him.

He had no impression of what Xiao Qiaoqiao said.

Both Butler Bai and Xiao Qiaoqiao have tried many times to help him regain his memory. They would show him some objects from the past, including toys from his childhood and medals from his school days, but to no avail, he could not remember anything. .

They worked hard, but he didn't care. It didn't matter if he didn't remember the past.

Xiao Qiaoqiao leaned on Xiao Mingzhang's shoulder, raised her hand, and wanted to hold Xiao Mingzhang's hand.

However, Xiao Mingzhang retracted his hand and did not let her touch it.

Xiao Qiaoqiao sighed: "Brother Mingzhang is estranged from me after all. We used to have such a good relationship."

"Qiaoqiao, let's eat. The food will be cold later." He looked extremely calm.

Xiao Qiaoqiao took a bowl and used chopsticks to pick up some of his favorite dishes and put them in the bowl, very carefully.

She handed the bowl to him: "Brother Mingzhang, these are what you like to eat."

"It's true that women are not allowed to stay in college." Xiao Lang sighed with a smile, "My father has no sense of existence."

"Dad, what you said, here you go." Xiao Qiaoqiao gave Xiao Lang his favorite dishes and a small bowl of health soup for him.

Xiao Mingzhang ate the food calmly and said little during the whole process.

I don’t know if it’s because he stayed in France for three years, but he doesn’t really like Xuanzhou’s local food.

The chef of the Xiao family is very good at cooking, but he always feels that the food does not suit his taste.

The restaurant was filled with Xiao Qiaoqiao's laughter. She drank a lot of wine. The more she drank, the more she talked.

"Dad, I was not idle some time ago. I did a market survey and visited many customers. Guess what I did." Xiao Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Lang with a smile.

"You, you just love messing around."

"I'm not messing around, I'm serious this time. Brother Mingzhang is so good, and I don't want to hold back the Xiao family! I decided to start a company of my own. As for me, I like the entertainment and fashion industry, so I went to inspect several companies. Entertainment."

"Young people just like to mess around, and they say they don't mess around. Mingzhang, listen, it's not reliable at all, isn't it?"

Xiao Mingzhang smiled lightly: "If Qiaoqiao likes it, let her do it."

"Brother Mingzhang, you have to take the time to help me. I know nothing about legal affairs, finance, or public relations, but with you here, I can move forward boldly, right?"

"I can help you with any questions you have."

"Brother Mingzhang is so good!" Xiao Qiaoqiao said to Xiao Lang, "Dad, you see, brother Mingzhang never throws cold water on me, he always supports me. But speaking of it, the land in Qiongzhou is still a pity. , If I could get that piece of land, I would have gone to Qiongzhou to supervise the work."

Xiao Qiaoqiao took a bite of the cherry tomato in dissatisfaction and felt indignant.

Xiao Lang didn't seem to have a good face, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Your brother Mingzhang has not fully recovered yet. Don't let him accompany you when you go to such a far place in the future."

Xiao Qiaoqiao pouted. When she went to Qiongzhou, Xiao Lang went on a business trip abroad, and she took Brother Mingzhang with her.

She volunteered to get the land in the first place.

Xiao Lang thought that he could train her abilities, so he gave this task to her and asked Xiao Mingzhang to help.

Unexpectedly, she took Xiao Mingzhang out of Xuanzhou.

"Okay, Dad, I understand, and I won't make stupid mistakes again."

"Well, that's good to know."

Halfway through the meal, Butler Bai pushed a trolley with a very tall cake on it.

"Dad, this is the birthday cake I ordered for you. Get ready to eat the cake!" Xiao Qiaoqiao excitedly opened the cake shell and took out the candles.

Xiao Mingzhang was just about to stand up to help, when suddenly, he felt a pain in his head.

As the alcohol got stronger, Xiao Mingzhang's body felt like it was on fire. He was very uncomfortable, and his whole body seemed to be roasted by a strong fire.

He forced himself to stand up, rubbed his temples, and frowned.

Xiao Qiaoqiao and Butler Bai pushed the cake to Xiao Lang. Xiao Qiaoqiao put a birthday hat on Xiao Lang and lit candles.

The cake is as tall as a person, full of tempting cream, chocolate, fruits, and exudes a sweet fragrance.

The lights were turned off and the candles danced in the darkness.

"Happy birthday to you..." Xiao Qiaoqiao and Butler Bai clapped their hands and sang happy birthday.

Xiao Mingzhang braced himself, suffering from a splitting headache and a layer of sweat on his back.

It was very hot, extremely hot, and Xiao Mingzhang couldn't breathe.

The entire restaurant suddenly seemed to turn into a big furnace, flames burned around him, and he seemed to be on the fire.

There were no windows in the restaurant, and at this moment, he just wanted to go out for some air.

The man suppressed the heat and impulse in his body, and his face showed restrained emotions, still calm and deep.

The lights came back on and Butler Bai cut the cake.

"Dad, what wish did you just make?"

"Don't tell you."

"Hahaha, dad is so stingy, let's eat cake! Dad, give you one first."

Xiao Qiaoqiao cut another piece of cake and walked to Xiao Mingzhang: "Brother Mingzhang, this is for you."

"Thank you." He took it.

The man's hands trembled subtly. He suppressed the discomfort and took the cake.

"Brother Mingzhang." Xiao Qiaoqiao noticed his discomfort and approached him, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm fine, I'm going out to get some air."

After that, Xiao Mingzhang walked out directly.

Leaving the indoor furnace, he walked directly into the freezing cold outdoors.

The temperature outside was around zero, and a gust of north wind blew across Xiao Mingzhang's face like a knife, but he didn't feel cold at all.

He stood outside without a coat, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trousers pocket, took one out and lit it.

The blue smoke slowly drifted down his face, and the scarlet cigarette butt flickered in the night, like a snake's letter, as if it was about to engulf him at any time.
