obsessed with love

Chapter 151
Seeing Qiao Anming walking over, Xiao Zhang hurriedly opened the door. It seemed that the boss was in a bad mood today. Then he thought, he seemed to be very depressed after picking him up from the hotel last night. Is it because of business?
He started the car and looked out of the rearview mirror. He kept looking out the window with his arms propped up. Xiao Zhang weighed it in his heart and said, "Mr. Qiao, just now Assistant Peng called me and said that your mobile phone has been turned off. I want to ask you, are you going to the training meeting in the hotel today?"

Qiao Anming frowned again, took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and soon there were a lot of voice prompts coming in.

Assistant Peng called Xiaozhang in the morning and told Mr. Qiao that when Mr. Qiao turned off his phone, he was still in disbelief. His cell phone was on 24 hours a day, it was impossible to turn it off, and it was turned off all night, but now he was sitting in the back seat of the car and turned on his cell phone. , Xiao Zhang had to believe that the boss really turned off the phone, and it was turned off overnight. Looking at his expression again, his brows were furrowed, and he was holding the phone in a daze. It seemed that he hadn't heard his question at all, so Xiao Zhang He boldly asked again: "Mr. Qiao, are you going to the hotel or the company?"

Qiao Anming held the phone in his hand, closed his eyes, and didn't speak, as if this was an extremely difficult question to answer. Finally, he rubbed his forehead with his fingers and said, "Go to the company and tell Assistant Peng that I won't go to the hotel today!"

Only then did Xiao Zhang breathe a sigh of relief, and he had to start the car and drive out.

The sun in winter is always lazy, and the light well after 7 o'clock in the morning is still completely hidden in the clouds.It's just that the wind is very cold, and it blows directly into the car. Qiao Anming is wearing a single shirt, and his body is cold.

He held the phone in his hand all the time, and the screen was dimmed and brightened by him, and the text message with just a few words was always displayed in his eyes: Mr. Qiao, don't use the word "accompanying", it's just a little effort, don't be so polite!
He laughed out of nowhere, thinking that this text message was a child's trick. This girl really has a temper that he can't resist. What happened last night, and this text message still has this tone, as if "You respect her. She pays you back a foot."

Du Ruo slept very late last night, and because of Qiao Anming's disturbance, she suffered from insomnia without any suspense until the middle of the night. Later, she called ROOM SERVICE and fell asleep after drinking most of the bottle of red wine.

This kind of hangover and insomnia, I wake up in the morning and complain about the two big dark circles under my eyes in the mirror, but what can I do?

Just when she was applying lip makeup, she was struggling to choose a number of lip glosses, when the phone on the sink suddenly lit up, and the word "Joe" was written on the screen.

She was a little shocked, and looked at herself in the mirror with her heart beating wildly.

what happened?I received a text message from my boss early in the morning, whether it was bad luck or good luck, I hesitated for a long time before opening it, just one sentence, and it was inexplicable.

"Don't be barefoot all the time, the cold comes from the bottom, it's easy to catch a cold, and don't drink too much, it's not good for your health!"

Undecided in panic, Du Ruo held the phone and studied those words for a long time. What does he mean?Early morning greetings?Or is the boss out of concern for ordinary employees?

But happy for no reason in my heart, I put my phone in my pocket, and happily chose a light-colored lip gloss. The winter is too dull, and the pink color is very suitable for such a mid-winter atmosphere.

Qiao Anming maintained that posture, holding the phone, all the way to the company.

He thought about it all night, from the time he met Du Ruo to the night before, he sorted out all the scenes and emotions, and the final result was still clueless, otherwise he wouldn't be so refreshed in the morning.

That is to say, he has been a master for half his life, and finally encountered a problem, and this problem is Du Ruo.

The scene of the night before was still vivid in his memory, including the temperature of that hug, and her crying after he finally decided to say those words.Her behavior has actually conveyed the meaning very clearly. She didn't treat him as the boss. Even though she has been trying to keep a distance, she still doesn't want to be just his boss. Although he also responded to her meaning, he was very upset uncomfortable.

He didn't want to make her cry. He had seen her cry too many times. Last night was the first time. She cried because of herself. This feeling was very bad, as frightened and helpless as if she had gotten into trouble, but he couldn't Soft-hearted, what should I do?Just send a text message, don't talk about anything, just tell her not to go barefoot or drink, care about nothing, just treat him as returning her hopeless feelings!

Qiao Anming glanced out the window, wanting to laugh at himself for no reason, feelings?He has lived to this age and has done so many cruel things, yet he is still qualified to talk about feelings!
When Ren Peiyin went to Gu Lan's side, it was Aunt Qin who opened the door.

"Lafayette" rarely drives to the East Palace. Even if he wants to come, he will call in advance, but today he came here early in the morning without any warning. Aunt Qin stood at the door for a few seconds before saying: "Old Qiao Ma'am, why are you here!" After speaking, she felt that the words were inappropriate, so she quickly changed her words: "Come in quickly, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you."

Ren Peiyin straddled her bag and replied with a sinister smile on her face, "Don't be busy, I came over after breakfast." That tone was obviously unhappy.

Aunt Qin is also aware of the old lady's temper, and in addition to the fact that Gu Lan has become more and more afraid of her in the past few years, Aunt Qin also has some complaints about her in her heart. Although her face is polite and her heart is somewhat disgusted, she treats her son Therefore, Ren Peiyin is also considered her half-master, and naturally she dare not neglect the affairs on the scene, so she hurriedly made tea and brought it over: "Madam, please have a cup of tea first, Miss has not woken up yet, I will go upstairs to call now." she."

"No need, I'll wait. There's no rush." ​​Ren Peiyin lazily took a sip from her teacup, put her bag next to the sofa, and sat there without speaking.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Qin didn't bother to wait on her any longer, so she found an excuse and left: "Then madam, please sit down for a while, the kitchen is preparing the young lady's breakfast, I have to keep an eye on it, those people are clumsy, and the things they made It often doesn't suit the lady."

Ren Peiyin curled her lips and smiled, but there was no response.

Aunt Qin's heart was also calm, she bowed and retreated.

Qiao Anming's villa was purchased a few years ago. It is located in the suburbs, near the lake, so there are not many people. Although it is empty, the air is good and the environment is quiet.

Before Gu Zhengmao passed away, Gu Lan and Qiao Anming had been living in the old house of the Gu family. The old-fashioned courtyard was located in the urban area, the surrounding environment was not good, and the people were noisy. After Gu Zhengmao left, Qiao Anming and Gu Lan also moved to the urban area. I lived in a duplex apartment for a while. It was the first property Qiao Anming invested in after his first pot of gold in his life. It is 200 square meters, two-storey duplex, good location, simple European style, and more importantly, it is close to the company, but the surrounding Gradually being deeply developed, with frequent construction, shopping malls and movie theaters, the atmosphere is getting more and more mixed.

Considering Gu Lan's body, he refurbished the villa where he lives now, all using non-polluting materials, Ming and Qing styles, red sandalwood carved furniture, from the hands of famous masters, yet elegant.

But after 9 o'clock in the morning, the sun had risen, gardeners were already taking care of the garden, and servants started cleaning the annex building in front of the garden. There was only the main building, empty and quiet as if no one lived there.

This is Gu Lan's request. She has a light sleep and has the habit of sleeping late, so before 11 am, no servants can enter or leave the main building except Aunt Qin, and 100% silence must be maintained.

Ren Peiyin waited for half an hour, gradually lost her patience, and then looked at the standing clock in the corner, it was close to 11 o'clock, and there was still no movement upstairs, when she was about to get up to go upstairs, Aunt Qin came in, holding the A tray with a bunch of dovetails and a glass of milk in it. The milk should have just been heated and still steaming.

Aunt Qin walked in front of Ren Peiyin, put the flowers into the vase on the closet with a smile, and walked over with the glass of milk: "Madam, please wait a little longer, the lady will wake up in half an hour, I have to put the Serve this glass of milk, the young lady will have to drink it as soon as she opens her eyes..."

Ren Peiyin folded her hands and sat back on the sofa, and smiled patiently and replied: "Go and do your work, don't worry about me, I have plenty of time anyway, so I can wait."

Aunt Qin saw that she was obviously suppressing Huo's face, and she felt a little gloating in her heart, so she went upstairs with the glass of milk.

Another half an hour passed, and when it was close to 11:[-], there was finally movement upstairs.

The tea in front of Ren Peiyin had already cooled down, so she moved on the sofa and continued to wait with her hands folded.

When the standing clock struck twelve, footsteps finally sounded on the wooden stairs, followed by Gu Lan's lazy voice with a touch of waking up: "Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin...why is the milk temperature wrong today? The milk warmer Is it not set properly? I have told you many times that fresh milk must be [-] degrees, and if it exceeds a little, it will have no nutritional value..."

Then the figure flashed out from the stairs, still wearing a white nightgown, with disheveled hair, a bad complexion, and a little swollen face. Seeing Ren Peiyin facing her on the sofa, Gu Lan was really startled and froze. It took a long time to find my voice, and I called out timidly, "Mom, why are you here?"

It was the same question again, Ren Peiyin herself thought it was funny, as expected of a child raised by someone, she even said the same thing.

It's just that Ren Peiyin wasn't angry, she came today for a purpose, so she straightened her body and replied, "I've been here for a while, I'm waiting for you to get up."

"Did I wait for a long time? You should ask Aunt Qin to wake me up. Yesterday, Anming Company had a reception and came back late. I waited until 11 o'clock for him to go to bed, so I got up late this morning." Lan explained with some embarrassment, still standing at the stairs, not intending to walk over.

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Ren Peiyin smiled and tried to soothe the atmosphere: "It's okay, it's cold in winter, you don't go out much, it's better to lie down on the bed more."

Gu Lan could hear the dissatisfaction in her words, but she didn't bother to explain, so she pretended to be stupid and smiled perfunctorily.

Aunt Qin appeared at the right time, and as soon as she walked in, she saw Gu Lan standing at the stairs like a little daughter-in-law, a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who seemed to be at odds with each other, it was rare to meet, and the atmosphere was so cold.

She walked in helplessly, and called out, "Miss, the breakfast kitchen is ready. I'll serve it here for you, or should you go to the restaurant by yourself?"

Gu Lan glanced at Ren Peiyin, and replied to Aunt Qin: "Don't eat, just ask the kitchen to prepare lunch." It was already twelve o'clock, and she was too embarrassed to have breakfast.

But when Ren Peiyin heard what she said, she quickly stopped: "How can you not eat breakfast? It's bad for your health. You'd better go to the restaurant to eat. I'll wait for you here. After you finish eating Come back, I have something to tell you."

Aunt Qin saw that Ren Peiyin's expression was normal, so she also helped to persuade her: "Yes, miss, you should go have breakfast, my wife has been waiting for you for a long time, so don't be in a hurry..."

As soon as these words came out, Ren Peiyin's face darkened, she glanced at Aunt Qin lightly, and then replied with a smile: "Yes, I've been waiting for so long, so I'm not in a hurry."

Gu Lan knew that Aunt Qin had a problem with Ren Peiyin, she was polite in the open, but secretly hated her very much, so when she saw that the two of them had something to say, she didn't insist anymore, and sent Aunt Qin away decisively: "I drank a glass of milk, It doesn't matter, you go to ask the kitchen to add some dishes, Mom comes here rarely, so I have to stay for dinner."

"Don't be too busy. I'll leave after I finish talking. Mother Chen will go shopping in the morning." After speaking, she looked at Gu Lan and continued: "Then you don't want to eat breakfast. It's the same if you ask the kitchen to eat lunch early. I'm here to sit down, I have something to talk to you..."

Looking at the posture, Aunt Qin knew that the old lady must have something to do when she came here, so she also stood still, as if she wanted to stay and listen
Ren Peiyin glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then turned around and asked coldly, "Aunt Qin, the kitchen is preparing Miss's lunch, don't you need to watch?"

This is an expulsion order, no matter how stupid her Aunt Qin was, she could hear it, so she could only smile dryly and nod her head and back out.

Finally, there were only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the room. Gu Lan walked up to her and sat down after acquaintance. The atmosphere was too awkward, so she started looking for topics everywhere. Seeing the empty teacup in front of her, she hurriedly asked: "Mom, The tea is cold, let me ask someone to change it for you."

"Don't drink anymore, my stomach is full of water." Ren Peiyin finally smiled, and added a heart-warming sentence: "Gu Lan, don't be so polite to me, although I rarely come here, a family, there is no need It matters so much."

"Yes, Mom, you are right." Gu Lan also smiled obediently, but lowered her head, pretending to be fingering.But the embarrassing atmosphere eased a bit, and Ren Peiyin exchanged a few more pleasantries before getting to the point, first asking: "Is An Ming busy recently?"

"Yes, the company in Tongcheng just took over. He is basically there now, and he only comes back on weekends."

"Oh, it has to be over there all the time?"

"Well, I heard from him that he probably will stay there for two years, but I don't know the details. As you know, I rarely ask about company affairs."

Ren Peiyin nodded, with no expression of joy or anger, but she thought to herself, you, Gu Lan, have the fate of this young lady. You sleep until the sun is high every day, and you don't hear anything outside the window. My son is fighting the world alone. Thinking about it, his face became a little unhappy again.
