Rebirth of the beautiful wife of the Republic of China

Chapter 12

After Qiao Wan and Lu Xiangbei finished finalizing, Qiao Wan looked at Lu Xiangbei, then took out a box, put it in front of Lu Xiangbei's desk, and said, "I think this pocket watch is quite suitable for you. You." Actually, Qiao Wan bought this pocket watch and planned to give it to Sun Haoyu, but Sun Haoyu went to Shanghai on a sudden business trip, Qiao Wan didn't give it away, and kept it in the drawer.

This watch was quite expensive to buy, but it was a pity that Qiao Wan took it as a thank you gift.Of course, what Qiao Wan said was not nonsense, and this watch is quite suitable for Lu Xiangbei.

When Lu Xiangbei saw the gift, he was overjoyed at first, and then worried. Isn't giving a gift something a man should do?Annoyed that I made a mistake.

Opening the box, what I saw was a gold-plated hunting-style pocket watch, which was very small in the hand. Lu Xiangbei pressed the spring, and the watch cover popped out with a "snap". The white chassis caught the eye, with the hour and minute hands , The second dial is designed in the middle and lower part, and the time is marked with golden fancy Arabic numerals and Roman numerals, which are very clear and clear.Lu Xiangbei fell in love with him at the first glance, and he was secretly happy, the Wanwan eyes were really consistent with his own!
Although he liked it, Lu Xiangbei still reluctantly returned the pocket watch, "It's too expensive, I can't accept this gift." From this look, he knew it was an imported product. Lu Xiangbei bought some foreign goods, so he probably knew the value of this pocket watch. geometry.

"This is specially brought for you, and this is a men's style, so it's useless for me to take it back." Qiao Wan replied without thinking, "This pocket watch should be a memory of our acquaintance."

Many things may look ordinary or expensive, but with some meaning added to them, they become special and extraordinary.

Although Qiao Wan's words were just an excuse for a whim.

Of course, listening to Lu Xiangbei's ears was another matter, and Lu Xiangbei's heart couldn't restrain the beating of "thump, bang, bang".A suspicious blush gradually appeared on the base of Lu Xiangbei's ears, and he put the pocket watch into his pocket very carefully.

Seeing the sunset, Qiao Wan saw that she had been out for a long time, so she got up to say goodbye.

Things in the world are such a coincidence that when you don't want to see someone, he just knocks on your door.

As soon as Qiao Wan and Lu Xiangbei left the coffee shop, they ran into Sun Haoyu head-on, followed by a little girl.

Qiao Wan had nothing to say to Sun Haoyu now, she nodded with a smile as a greeting.

"Wanwan, why are you here?" Sun Haoyu shouted inexplicable surprise in a surprised tone, looking at Qiao Wan with burning eyes.

"I have something to do." Qiao Wan said politely, "I'm going first."

Qiao Wan had no intention of chatting with Sun Haoyu, and wanted to leave first, when she just turned her side, she heard a crisp voice, "This must be Sister Qiao Wanqiao, I often hear brother Haoyu mentioning you."

The girl's unique voice sounds extraordinarily pleasing and moving.Qiao Wan turned her head to take a closer look, slapped her face, and was dressed in Western attire.The girl was full of smiles, her big moist eyes, her small face the size of a palm, and her black curly hair made her appear innocent and lively.Of course, if the girl didn't have that hostility in her eyes, Qiao Wan felt that she would be more comfortable looking at her.

Qiao Wan should know the one in front of her. This is Sun Haoyu's second concubine in her previous life.Qiao Wan didn't know that Sun Haoyu and Qin Shuyi had met so early. After all, in the previous life, Sun Haoyu proposed to marry Qin Shuyi in the winter of the next year, but now it's only the beginning of summer.

At this time, Sun Haoyu took the initiative to introduce to Qiao Wan: "Wanwan, her name is Qin Shuyi, and she is the daughter of an uncle."

"Miss Qin, hello." Qiao Wan said indifferently, not wanting to get involved with the two in front of her.

On the contrary, it was Qin Shuyi who asked Qiao Wan suspiciously: "Sister Qiao, who is this next to you?" It sounded very simple and innocent, just asking curiously.

But Qiao Wan did not miss the schadenfreude and contempt in Qin Shuyi's tone. Even though she tried to hide it, Qin Shuyi was only 16 years old now, but she was not as sophisticated as she was when she came to Sun's house in her previous life.Counting it, Qiao Wan had eaten more salt than she had eaten rice, and she had been under the same roof for so many years in her previous life, so she couldn't tell.Qiao Wan just responded lightly: "My friend, Mr. Lu."

Qin Shuyi glanced at Lu Xiangbei pointingly, and said with a smile: "I heard from brother Haoyu that sister Qiao is knowledgeable and talented. When I saw her today, I realized that sister Qiao also has a lot of friends."

Qiao Wan raised her eyebrows, and said with a modest smile: "Not as good as Miss Qin. Miss Qin was born in a Liyuan family, and has been in and out of major families since she was a child. She must have known many high-ranking officials and dignitaries than me. I heard that Miss Qin's Sister, she is extremely favored in the governor's mansion, even the governor's wife has to avoid it." There are many meanings in these two sentences, it just depends on how the listener understands.

Qiao Wan protects her shortcomings and protects her own shortcomings; she protects her shortcomings even more for those who are good to her.What's more, saying that Qin Shuyi came from the Liyuan family is already flattering her.Who in Shanghai doesn't know, a wild theater troupe who doesn't know where they came from, but because they climbed up to the Governor's Mansion, they just insisted on a good name. Whether it's a crow or a real phoenix, people with discerning eyes can know it clearly.Lu Xiangbei is not very good now, at least he will be much better than you, a bereaved dog in the future, it is really inferior to a dog!
Both Sun Haoyu and Qin Shuyi froze, their faces turning green and pale. Neither of them expected that Qiao Wan would say such a thing.

In the end, Qiao Wan kindly reminded: "By the way, Miss Qin, my mother only gave birth to one daughter, so please don't misidentify my sister in the future, so as not to cause people to misunderstand."
