don't want to miss you

Chapter 9
Jiang Qiao'an waited until early morning, but when Mo Chi came back, he picked up the phone several times, hesitated for a long time, but still did not press the dial button.

It's always bad to interrupt when the family is having fun.

She was about to take a rest after taking a bath, but when she heard a knock on the door, she got up and got out of bed immediately. Before she could run out of the bedroom, Shi Mochi had already opened the door and came in, followed by a strong smell of alcohol.

Seeing the suspender nightdress on Jiang Qiaoan's body, his brows tightened even more: "You're already asleep? Didn't tell you to wait for me."

Jiang Qiaoan disliked the smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body, and turned his head slightly to take off his coat: "It's almost a little bit, I won't be able to sleep all night if I don't sleep. How can I drink so much alcohol when I eat at my parents' house?" .”

"Because of you, I couldn't sleep all night for half a year, but you wouldn't even ask you to sleep late and wait for me for a few hours."

"It's so late, I thought you wouldn't come back."

"What have I promised you in the past, which one have I not done? If you don't want to wait for me, let it go. Why use 'I thought' as an excuse to perfunctory."

Jiang Qiao'an knew that Shi Mo Chi had been in a bad mood recently because of his father's illness, but she was considerate of him and tolerated him. Who can forgive her grievances?

"So you asked me to wait for you just to quarrel with me, is that interesting?" She frowned and turned to leave.

Shi Mochi didn't speak anymore, he held her and looked at her quietly for a while, his eyes made Jiang Qiaoan feel very strange, she gradually became uneasy, and was about to ask him if something happened, but she didn't have time to speak , he kissed her.

Jiang Qiaoan asked slightly annoyed: "How much did you drink? You're so drunk!"

Jiang Qiaoan's voice made him suddenly lose his desire, so he let her go dejectedly. Jiang Qiaoan kept silent, without looking at him, picked up the coat that was thrown on the ground, wrapped himself up, and went straight to her. Leaving the bedroom, he slammed the door hard.

She took a new shower, put on her bathrobe, went to the cabinet to find a quilt, and asked Shi Mochi who was sitting by the bed smoking a cigarette: "Your house doesn't have a guest bedroom, will you sleep on the sofa or should I sleep on the sofa tonight?"

"I've slept well." Shi Mochi sighed, got up to get the quilt, Jiang Qiaoan handed it to him and was about to leave, but he was rolled onto the bed with the quilt.

Shi Mo Chi lightly stroked the two red marks on her shoulders when she tore off the nightgown, and said in a low voice: "You make my heart hurt, and I make your body hurt, how fair it is."

When it was finally over, Jiang Qiaoan pushed him away: "Have you finally had enough trouble now? Get out, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that Mo Chi didn't move, she had no choice but to pick up the quilt and go out to sleep by herself.

He didn't stop her.

Before closing the door, Jiang Qiaoan turned back and said: "I know you are in a bad mood and stressed, but the unhappiness in my heart is only a lot more than yours. I don't ask you to think for me, I just ask you not to take money for no reason. I vent my anger. This time, you are drunk and I don't care about it with you. If there is another time, I think I'll move out for the time being. It's better for us to contact you after you handle the family affairs. "

Shi Mochi rushed over in a few steps, hugged her from behind, and apologized in a hasty tone: "It's my fault, don't go, tomorrow is Sunday, and I have to accompany Dad to the hospital in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and we will go to get married in the afternoon Prove."

Jiang Qiaoan was stunned for a moment, but his tone softened involuntarily: "It turns out that you are really drunk, go take a bath quickly, and go to bed early after being tired all day."

"Promise first and then go wash."

His tone was different from usual, so she thought it was just drunken talk, so she hummed casually: "Okay, let me go take a shower, you smell so bad."

Mo Chi was willing to let go after a while.

Before he came out of the shower, Jiang Qiaoan's anger disappeared. She never wanted to be angry with him. After all, she didn't go to the living room and slept directly on the bed in the master bedroom.

When Jiang Qiaoan woke up the next day, Shi Mochi had already gone out, leaving only a note saying that he would accompany his grandparents to see a doctor he knew well, and he might not be able to come back to stay at night, although he had expected that he would not have time to accompany him. Spending the weekend by herself, she was still a little lost.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of things to do. The three-day jewelry exhibition will open tomorrow. The dress that was originally prepared could not hide the bruises caused by Shi Mochi. Try on the beautiful clothes I bought the day before.

After preparing for so long, the day of the jewelry exhibition was not as busy as expected.

The most respected associate professor of Jiang Qiao’an University was also invited to come. After seeing her works, he smiled and asked: “I used to think that there was someone in your design, but today I finally figured it out. You like it very much.” Ms. Yang Ruiqi, you must have seen the set of Flowers from the Other Side that she won the international award back then, do you like her?"

Jiang Qiaoan didn't make a sound at first, and then he paused for a moment before jokingly said: "Everyone wants to be unique, and they don't want to have other people's traces in their works. Your words don't seem to be complimenting me."

"The shadow I'm talking about is not the same, but the similar aura. However, although her works after winning the award are also excellent, they have a different feeling."

The people to be entertained were one after another, so Jiang Qiaoan didn't bother to take out his mobile phone to see if there was a call or text message from Mo Chi until the buffet was over.

Seeing dozens of missed calls from him, she was startled, thinking that something was wrong, she immediately dialed back.

It took a long time to get through the phone, Shi Mo Chi's voice was unusually cold: "Are you done?"

"Why did you call me so many times, what happened?"

"Nothing happened, you couldn't get through, so I had no choice but to call your company, and then I remembered that there was a jewelry exhibition to be held today. When Zhou Wanyue called me yesterday morning to invite me to attend, I thought about getting a marriage certificate and then refused. But I forgot that you also want to participate. But even if you don’t come, at least call me and tell me. It was like this four years ago, and it’s like this again four years later. You left without saying a word to get angry with my mother. Now, because of the so-called cause, I have to wait an afternoon in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and I probably will not wait in my life for the day when you take me seriously."

"Why are you angry with your mother?" Hearing this sentence, Jiang Qiaoan was startled, "What did your mother tell you? Where are you now, I will go find you."

"No, please be busy. I didn't go to the company this afternoon. I have a lot of business to deal with. I won't be going back these few days." Shi Mo Chi didn't want to mention what his mother had said, and he was about to hang up the phone after he finished speaking.

"It's not that I don't care about you. I just thought that what you said about obtaining the certificate that day was just a drink. I have something to tell you. You are waiting for me in the office." She said this quickly before he put down the phone.

Jiang Qiao'an was rarely in such a rush to defend himself, and hearing the tension in her tone, the grievance and resentment in Shi Mochi's heart suddenly dissipated. No matter what, he couldn't harden his heart towards her, so he stopped. After a few seconds, he said, "Forget it, let's go home first."

Knowing that Yang Ruiqi should not be contacted at this time, Jiang Qiaoan still couldn't help calling her while driving. Even after making several calls, no one answered, and finally Yang Ruiqi simply turned off the phone.

Thinking of Yang Ruiqi's various actions over the years, thinking of her reaction when she first heard that she was going to tell Shi Mo Chi the ins and outs of that year, and thinking of the sentence she asked before she left, "Let's talk privately if we have anything to say, don't give it to me at this time." He added to the chaos." Thinking of Shi Mochi's various anomalies after he came back from home the day before, even if he couldn't guess the motive and reason, even if he was reluctant, Jiang Qiaoan had to admit that this person, whom she regarded as her biological mother in the past, is still her mother now. The extremely respectful Aunt Yang is simply using her trust to repeatedly destroy the relationship between her and Shi Mochi.

Jiang Qiaoan was flustered for a moment, thinking wildly, and heard the phone ringing at her hand. She thought it was Yang Ruiqi, so she quickly picked it up to look, but the word "Mu Yan" was flashing on the screen.

Because she was constantly distracted, she first drove in the wrong lane, and didn't see that the traffic light was changing from green to red. She didn't regain her senses until she was about to hit a passerby riding an electric bike. Divider.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, was wearing a seat belt, and the airbag deployed in time, except for the fractured right arm, which was only scratched.

Even so, Mo Chi panicked and blamed himself when he received the call.

When he arrived at the hospital, Jiang Qiaoan was curled up on the hospital bed, his right arm had just been healed, and his left hand was still on a drip. His face was full of loneliness. He completely forgot that he was angry. As soon as he stepped into the door of the ward, he said: " Have you done a full body check? Are there any other serious problems?"

"Mo Chi, I don't know why you think this way, but I've never taken you seriously." Jiang Qiaoan didn't care to say anything else, and asked directly, "What did your mother tell you? "

"It's nothing more than something from the past." Shi Mo Chi avoided this topic, "I won't argue with you on the phone again, luckily the injury is not serious, I'll go to the doctor first and come back later. "

Seeing that Mo Chi was about to leave, Jiang Qiaoan immediately grabbed the corner of his clothes with his backhand regardless of the infusion, and asked again: "I'm fine, first tell me what your mother said to you."

"You!" Seeing the blood flowing back from the needle, Shi Mochi was so angry that he was speechless, he rang the bell to call the nurse and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you messing around with!"

"Did your mother tell you that she is also my stepmother?" Jiang Qiaoan asked for the fourth time as if she had never heard of it.

"..."

He had never seen Jiang Qiaoan, who was cold-tempered, disregarded minor details and didn't like to play tricks, was so persistent. Even if he didn't want to mention it, he could only say "hm", and sat down on the bed after the nurse gave her another injection. Side, said: "You said you fell in love with me at first sight, I have always been proud, you left alone like that, I have hated you and hated myself for four years, but I didn't realize until the day before yesterday that all of this, our From the beginning to the end of the relationship, it has nothing to do with me, it turns out that you were never for me, and the ridiculous thing is that I still can't let go."

"In the beginning I did use you selfishly for my own sake, but then..."

Before she finished speaking, he said again: "My mother told me that her ex-husband is your father, and you are her stepdaughter. Back then, you mistaken her for your biological mother, and approached me in order to recognize her... ..."

"She said that after your family had an accident, when I took you to see her, she told you that your biological mother had someone else. I heard you said that you have been waiting for her to find you, but until you found my wallet and saw her picture When I found out where she is now, I was very worried about the motives of your relationship with me, and asked if you really liked me and wanted to be with me, or because of her... You didn’t even think about it and said it was all because you hated her for so many years I didn’t go back to see myself before I found me. Now that I know the truth, I just feel sorry for her and me... She was angry that you shouldn’t take advantage of my feelings even if you mistaken the wrong person, so she taught you a few words, saying that I know I will definitely be sad after reading this, and call you too selfish. At that time, your father had just passed away, and he was probably sensitive, thinking that I was a stepson and you were a stepdaughter, but she only thought that I didn’t care about you, and hated her for being too partial and hated me for taking it away. I lost your mother, and then walked away in a suffocating breath, thinking that I was sad, she would blame herself and feel sorry, thinking that she would feel guilty when you left..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiaoan calmed down instead. She was no longer in a hurry to explain, but only asked with a sneer: "Then, what else did she say? Did she say why I came back? It was because I stayed outside for a few years Finding out that no one is stupider than you is better than you treating me, or is it because the 300 million has been spent or is in debt again and wants to cheat your money?"

"These are not important." Shi Mo Chi didn't answer directly, "The important thing is that after hearing this, after I was shocked, my first reaction was not to be angry, but to be afraid that you would get angry with her again and leave me because she didn't allow us to get married. I love you, but you don't love me, so I don't even dare to blame you and question you, isn't it ridiculous?"

Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help trembling: "The ridiculous one is not you but me. I'm too stupid to believe Yang Ruiqi and tell her everything so that she can lie to you and me with half-truths and half-fakes. Break up. I've never met a better liar or fool than her."

Mo Chi frowned when she saw her, and she smiled again: "I know you might not believe it, after all, I did confess to you because I found your wallet and saw her picture and mistakenly thought she was my mother. After all, I was with you in the first place to meet her and take me home. After all, I left you because I was frustrated and angry with her, but the truth of this matter is not what she said .”

"I didn't know that Yang Ruiqi was not my biological mother when I left you. She said at that time that your father cared about my father very much. If your father knew about my relationship with her, it would be very difficult for her, so she hoped that I would leave you. I I blamed her and her anger because she refused to think about me at all. She knew that I had just lost a loved one and asked me to take the money and leave quickly. It was not because she blamed me for using you. Until the day before yesterday she came to your house to find me and wanted me After leaving, I told her the whole story of our relationship and why I approached you. Four years ago, she only thought that it was a coincidence that I would meet and fall in love with her stepson. How could she scold me for not using you? !"

"I really don't understand why Yang Ruiqi hates me for marrying you so much. If she is afraid that your father will mind if she finds out, I have told her more than once that you don't have to worry. I even told her about the wedding ceremony. You don't care, you can not show your face for a while, you can hide from offending your father, and apologize after he recovers."

"But what about her? Hearing that I wanted to find an appropriate time to confess to you the past, I was only worried that you would blame her for what she forced me to leave back then, and told me repeatedly that you are already annoying enough because of your father's illness." It's messy enough, don't mention it now. I listened to her and told her all the selfish thoughts I had hidden in my heart in the past. I even apologized to her and asked her to forgive me for my previous ignorance. She didn't say anything at the time , turned his head and turned right and wrong into black and white, and told you first."

"I'm sorry for you. I started because I wanted to use you, but I really love you. I did it four years ago, and I still do it now. I've been hiding and refusing to get back together with you. I'm just afraid that you won't forgive me if you know. Yang Ruiqi is hard to do."

"..."

Shi Mochi was always smart, but at this moment he couldn't figure out what Jiang Qiaoan was talking about. When he heard the last sentence, he got up and hugged her in his arms: "Let's stop talking about this, it's all in the past , how could I not forgive you, I just want to be with you well."

Before going home, Shi Mochi went to the traffic brigade to deal with Jiang Qiaoan's accident. After finishing the work, he saw her waiting in the car with a docile face. Thinking of his confession a while ago, he felt very at ease. The relationship was really not smooth sailing, but fortunately, it ushered in a turning point in the end.

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Mo Chi opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, "There are some injuries that cannot be seen on the surface, and you are asked to have a full-body examination and you are going to be discharged from the hospital immediately, so you still have to check it carefully again to be at ease."

Only then did Jiang Qiaoan end his daze: "I didn't hit my head or my internal organs, so it won't be a big deal."

Neither of them had dinner, and when they got home, Shi Mochi cooked two bowls of noodles under the guidance of Jiang Qiaoan. Jiang Qiaoan didn't have much appetite, and he wasn't used to using his left hand. chopsticks.

"It's unpalatable? I've never been picky about your cooking before." Shi Mo Chi smiled softly, "Order takeaway for you?"

"No, I'm not hungry." Jiang Qiaoan endured and endured, but still said, "Did Yang Ruiqi tell you that I have ulterior motives and that I don't treat you sincerely, so you want to break up with me?"

Even though Shi Mochi could understand her grievance and resentment at the moment, it was difficult for him to adapt to hearing his girlfriend call her mother by her name one after another, so he frowned imperceptibly: "Why do you say this again, no one can influence you except you I can't, as long as you don't leave, it's useless for anyone to say anything. It's not convenient to take a shower these days, if you're not hungry, I'll help you wash up now, so you can rest early."

"I knew you wouldn't believe me. I've lied to you because of my poor personality. Your mother is recognized as kind and virtuous. It's natural for you to believe her or not." Jiang Qiaoan gradually became dissatisfied.

"Of course I don't believe what you say. It's just that sooner or later we will become a family. How can we tell the difference between right and wrong between relatives? In the past, you refused to tell me. If you told me the truth early in the morning, I would definitely I will protect you from any grievances."

"At that time, when I told you about family affairs, you would only laugh at my narrow-mindedness, but I also understand that people like you are naturally not interested in hearing those old trivial matters."

Shi Mochi laughed: "...You still dare to boast that you are never careless and never like to turn over old scores. After I finish eating, if you don't talk until dawn today, don't try to sleep."

Jiang Qiao'an told him about the past when he was a child more than once or twice before, but he didn't add Yang Ruiqi. Back then, Mo Chi didn't have the patience to listen carefully. Now that he mentions it again, he is even more embarrassed than her, so he no longer blames her. In order to recognize her mother, she deliberately approached herself.

Jiang Qiao'an usually doesn't talk much, and he rarely talks so much at once. He was very sleepy when he just talked about the anger of the year and left, and he said "I'm sorry Shi Mochi" vaguely, and fell asleep.

Shi Mochi was not sleepy, turned off the wall lamp by the bed sideways, kissed her forehead, continued to pat her on the back slowly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone hates seeing each other late, but we But I hate it early, if I could meet you later, if I was strong enough and mature enough when I met you, I could stand in front of you in everything, everything in the future might be different."

Only then did Jiang Qiaoan think of something: "I heard that your father is looking for me, probably to persuade us to break up. He is sick, and I dare not make him unhappy, so I just want to hide for now."

"My dad? Who did you hear that from." Shi Mochi was surprised, "I never mentioned your matter to him, and he doesn't care about it at all with his personality. It's impossible that my mother is the same What he said, my mother also repeatedly told me not to bring up the topic of love and marriage with him recently, lest he think that I don't care about him, and at this time I still have a romantic mood."

Naturally, Jiang Qiaoan would not tell him that it was Mu Yin who told him this, so he just kept silent.

When I first heard Jiang Qiaoan's different versions in the hospital, Shi Mochi didn't fully understand it and thought it was a difference in positions, so he didn't care. He just wanted to ease the conflict between his girlfriend and mother as a trivial matter. She explained the cause and effect in detail, and finally realized something was wrong.

"My mother is not that kind of person. You also said that she used to treat you as well as your biological mother. There may be some misunderstanding or hidden secrets. You don't have to worry about it. I will ask her why, but things have priorities. , and I always listen to what the elders say, and ignore it if I don’t agree. Whether she likes us together has no effect on us. My grandparents are already in their eighties, and now she has to take care of them and me Dad, and there are so many people visiting the house recently and she has to preside over outside affairs, she is already dizzy now, so I'll talk about it later. If my father really wants you, you should avoid it first. Not to mention the ex-husband, even Mu Yin, I don’t like it very much, I can understand if he minds, but it’s okay, I grew up with things he didn’t like, and it’s not bad to add you.”

She was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes anymore, she just hummed, and Mo Chi gradually fell asleep while snuggling.

Early the next morning, Jiang Qiaoan and Zhou Wanyue took sick leave. Once the jewelry exhibition was over, the company had fewer things to do. All departments were established, and the previous batch of recruits had already passed the probationary period. It gradually became clear who could be entrusted with important roles, and Zhou Wanyue no longer needed to let Jiang Qiaoan, who was not good at management, share the burden.

Knowing that she was injured, Zhou Wanyue naturally wanted to come over to visit her. As soon as she put down her things, she smiled and said, "Your man is an investor, so I dare not allow you to leave. Naturally, you will be paid as long as you want."

"The jewelry show will officially end tomorrow, so why come here in person when you are so busy."

"The first day is the most important. For the next two days, just let the people below watch. You don't have to stay there all the time. You can take a vacation for a month or two. Your design has received a good response, and some customers have already taken interest in it. , but the master can't take orders easily, the less you take, the more precious it is. Lan Yi's new film will start preparations later, but she can introduce you to other directors. I have already asked her to contact you. Opportunity, you must prepare well during the holidays."

Jiang Qiaoan thanked her very much: "Aren't you afraid that other designers in the company will be unbalanced if you praise me and help me like this?"

Zhou Wanyue snapped: "Who dares to be unbalanced! Don't say you are my younger sister, even if you are not, I still believe in your ability. By the way, isn't the most authoritative international competition in your industry about to start in a few months? If you can win an award, our brand can borrow another wind."

"Not everyone can participate in that competition. It needs an official recommendation. There are only two places in the country every year. I am not qualified yet."

"Isn't Shi Mochi's stepmother Yang Ruiqi? She won that award, and with her status in the jewelry design industry, as long as she is willing to recommend it, you can naturally go there. I don't know how to take advantage of such a close relationship. Is it stupid to be famous? Do you want me to teach you the truth as early as possible?"

The smile on Jiang Qiaoan's face immediately subsided: "This is not good, let's talk about it later."

"What's wrong, who can say clearly whether strength is not strength, this is the same as Lan Yi's circle, fame is equal to strength, success depends on opportunity, if you can't put face down and trouble others, you only know what it means to be noble Use! If you're embarrassed, I'll go and tell her that Lan Yi and I had dinner with her twice when we first started making preparations, and she's a very kind person without any airs."

"Don't! If necessary, I will mention it to her myself."

It was only then that Zhou Wanyue realized something was wrong: "What's the matter, do you have some kind of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with her? Why? It's really complicated. Fortunately, I don't want to get married."

Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to talk to her, and immediately changed the topic: "Here again, I really have never seen anyone who is more gossip than you. How can a person with such a unique temperament have such a hobby."
