In this world, the only Mr. Warm
Chapter 5
Chapter 5
The underground car park of the Jane's Building in Hong Kong on Monday.
As soon as Xu Mo's car stopped in the parking space, he saw the window of the car next to him lowered, and then he showed a smiling face, "Morning, Assistant Xu."
"Morning Director Xiao." Xu Mo greeted, lowered his head, and carefully cleaned the dust that did not exist on the high heels.He intentionally dawdled for a while, but happened to be standing in front of the elevator with Xiao Sui at the same pace.
"You don't look very good." Xiao Sui pressed the button and turned to ask Xu Mo. "Is the weather in Australia okay?"
Full of Xiao Sui's style, obviously gloating.
Xu Mo stepped into the elevator and pressed the 39th floor and [-]th floor at the same time, with a natural tone, "Thanks to Director Xiao, it finally caught up with the sunny day."
"Oh, no no no no, I'll go up with you and talk to Jane Sir about something." Xiao Sui pressed it again, canceling the appointment on the fourteenth floor, "Working as soon as I come back, Hutt's assistant is really competent."
Xu Mo caught a trace of important information in Xiao Sui's words, and then asked, "Mr. Jian is already in the company?"
Xiao Sui was baffled by Xu Mo's disbelief, "Why isn't he here? The company just opened four sales channels in the Asia-Pacific region. How could he be missing at such an important moment."
Xu Mo suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Sui frowned and thought for a while, finally understood Xu Mo's silence, and asked tentatively, "Did you catch any rumors when you went to Australia this time?"
"No." Xu Mo denied it categorically, seeing the number scrolling on the elevator freeze at 39, he stepped out with one foot to get out of the elevator.
Suddenly, Xiao Sui withdrew to block the elevator entrance, reached out and pressed the door close button, and successfully blocked Xu Mo in the elevator, "Honey Mo, you are not good."
Xu Mo's usually flat temperament was finally poked at the sore spot by Xiao Sui, "I have told you so many times, you can call me Special Assistant Xu, Assistant Xu, or even Xu Mo directly, the title just now is not suitable for our relationship. "
"Why not, honey, darling, sweet?" Xiao Sui smiled deeply, "I think you are especially suitable for such a sweet title."
Xiao Sui wins verbally as always, Xu Mo finally chose to remain silent, calmed down a little, and waited for Xiao Sui to back down a bit.
"Have you heard about Xiao Qingmei from Jian's family?" Xiao Sui asked casually, but his tone became closer to the truth. "Or, you have already found her?"
Xu Mo still didn't speak, just looked directly at Xiao Sui, his whole face tensed.
After a long time, seeing that Xiao Sui still had no intention of giving in, Xu Mo finally said calmly, "Director Xiao, there is a limit to gossip. Mr. Jian doesn't like others to touch his privacy. I think you know it too."
In a word, the emotions brought out made Xiao Sui obviously aware of the coldness.
"Okay." Xiao Sui shrugged, and finally let go of the closing key, "In your eyes, my concern is gossip, intimacy is distortion, and pain is pretending. But, don't forget the fact that I stand side by side with Jian Yanzuo We fought for nearly ten years, and the day Xiao Qingmei disappeared, we were in Hong Kong and flew together in St. Petersburg."
The elevator door opened silently, Xiao Sui stepped aside, and silently gestured "please" to Xu Mo.
There was still a smile on his face, without any emotional ups and downs.
Xu Mo clenched his fist tightly, and finally let go.
His fingers touched the door close button again, and he turned around slowly.
"I don't have any definite information about Miss Chi, but there are two points. First, Mr. Jian changed his family doctor a few days ago. I was supposed to pick him up, but unfortunately, we missed it because of the weather. When I was talking on the phone with Mr. Jian, his mood was a little imperceptibly low." Xu Mo looked at Xiao Sui, and said calmly, "Second point, the old house of Jian Chi's family has been looking for someone to call him here. Reason, I received a call last night saying that the water and electricity meters of the two houses moved a little abnormally, not like the abnormality of leakage of electricity and water, but more like..."
"Someone is using it." Xiao Sui naturally took over the words, "So it is indeed Jian's little Qingmei who has returned?"
"It's too early to draw a final conclusion." Xu Mo's face remained calm, and he pursed his lips slightly, "I want to confirm again. After all, we have been close like this before, not just this time."
After saying this, Xu Mo let go of his fingers.As the elevator door slowly slid open, he took the first step out.
After walking a few steps, he paused slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally turned around, "Just now, I'm sorry."
Xiao Sui didn't speak, the expression on his face was still as calm as ever.Xu Mo didn't wait for Xiao Sui's answer. After finishing speaking, he paused, turned around again, and walked away without stopping.
It seemed that at the moment Xu Mo turned around, a smile slowly spread over the corner of Xiao Sui's mouth.In the end, he smiled until the corners of his eyes slightly turned up.
This play of pretending to be weak really proved to be a tried and tested one.
Xu Mo and Xiao staggered back and forth and passed the secretary's desk. Xu Mo put one of the document bags on the counter and told Secretary Yin on duty, "These inside are distributed to the directors according to the markings."
"Okay." Secretary Yin nodded, and confirmed the contents of the file bag one by one, "Mr. Jian asked you to go in as soon as you come."
Xu Mo signed a few more words, and asked in the space between the signatures, "When did you come to the company, sir?"
"It's a little past seven." Secretary Yin grinned at Xu Mo and lowered his voice secretly, "When we arrive, we'll call all directors for an emergency meeting."
Xu Mo nodded to show his understanding. After signing, he asked Xiao Sui who was waiting beside him, "When did you turn on your phone today?"
"Old rules, eight o'clock." Xiao Sui looked bitter, "So I don't need you to remind me that someone will be sent to South America for an investigation in a while, and this person will most likely be me."
"Your foresight has always been accurate." Xu Mo raised his eyebrows in agreement, with a rare schadenfreude, "The current scenery in South America must be much better than Australia."
When Xu Mo followed Xiao Sui in, Jian Yan Zuo was not working.Standing alone in front of the glass window with his back to the door, he couldn't detect any emotion.Hearing the knock on the door, he paused, turned around, and said to Xu Mo, "Thank you."
"No." Xu Mo shook his head slightly, walked forward, and handed the document bag he had been holding to Jian Yanzuo, "A friend of Professor Lean asked me to give it to you."
There are not many things in the file bag, but the content seems to be very mixed, with long and short papers in various background colors.
Jian Yan didn't look at Zuo quickly, turning over one after another, his face became darker and darker, but he remained silent.
Xu Mo and Xiao Sui exchanged glances involuntarily, with obvious doubts.This is obviously different from his previous look when he was reading documents. His slightly frowned brows, tightly pursed lips, and stiff fingers holding the paper are not very good signs.
The sound of paper flipping stopped on the last page for a long time, Jian Yanzuo finally read it, put it all back into the original paper bag, opened the drawer and put it in, paused for a while, and when he closed it, he still had a gloomy expression just now It has eased up a lot.He raised his eyes to signal Xu Mo, "Go and tidy up, wait for me in the parking lot in half an hour."
Xu Mo took the order and left, and when he turned around, he secretly made a blessing gesture to Xiao Sui.
Xiao Sui nodded exaggeratedly to express his gratitude. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Jian Yan's glance to the left, and said frankly, "Where will I be exiled this time, South America or North Africa?"
"Neither of them." Jian Yanzuo didn't intend to lay the groundwork or beat around the bush, and said directly, "New York."
"Wow, what a great place." Xiao Sui whistled sharply, squinted his eyes and looked at Jian Yanzuo, "Don't try to bribe me, the person I like will always be the one just now."
Jian Yan is rare and serious, "Xu Mo is not someone you should provoke, she deserves a better life."
"That's not something you should consider." Xiao Sui raised his eyebrows, "Tell me, what are you sending me to New York for?"
"Little uncle, there is a lot of mess." Jian Yanzuo's attention returned to the matter, his expression was so serious that Xiao Sui was unfamiliar, "It's not convenient for me to come forward, although your identity is not suitable. But, you also know, As long as it is someone from here, no one is suitable."
Jian Yanzuo's words were not very thorough, but Xiao Sui abnormally did not pursue further.Classmates and have worked together for so many years, this is a rare tacit understanding between them.
"Well, anyway, it's not once or twice to wipe his butt, and I don't care about it again." Xiao Sui swept his eyebrows with his thumb, with an impatient expression on his face, "When you take the main seat, remember to be the first Cut down his clan."
Jian Yanzuo nodded slightly, not knowing whether to approve or agree, "I will work hard."
Compared with the sunny weather in Hong Kong, Beijing finally turned sunny after a few bouts of heavy rain.After half a month of uninterrupted cleaning, even the air seems to be much better.
It just so happened that Chi Qiaoqi's trip took place in such a beautiful weather.
And her next stop is Fifth Avenue in New York.
Regarding this visit, Chi Qiaoqi did not leak any information beforehand.I made a layover in Hong Kong comfortably, arranged the itinerary by myself, played around, ate and drank enough, and brought a gift for Yan Cha by the way.Compared with the embarrassment last time, both the mood and the appearance are completely different.
Get out of Kennedy Airport with ease, take a taxi to the northernmost point of Fifth Avenue, get off and walk happily all the way.At this moment, because of the relaxation, the mood is extremely good.
Chi Qiaoqi likes the night in New York more than the day. In her impression, the night in New York has a carnival flavor.
The lights of various colors, shops of various styles, passers-by with various expressions, signboards of different heights, windows of different sizes, and paces of different speeds always feel endowed with special tension.
Yan Cha's shop still has the same decoration as the previous visit, with white marble exterior walls, bright and clear display windows, black solid wood window and door frames, and two colorful glass wall lamps, quiet and low-key.
In the display window, two small dresses float quietly in the light, restrained and luxurious.The background wall is scattered with golden photo frames, and inside the photo frames are hand-painted design drawings.Every fine line has been or is carrying a beautiful and fulfilling dream.
Chi Qiaoqi stood in front of the display window for a long time, like a dreaming girl, full of hope.Finally standing until his ankles were slightly sore, Chi Qiaoqi turned sideways and slowly pushed the door open.
The floor in the store is paved with East African black rosewood, and the heels are buckled on it, and the sound is very crisp.At the beginning, Chi Qiaoqi didn't feel any liking for this kind of material, but as time passed, he liked it more and more.
Yan Cha is always like this, she likes to be extra persistent in some details, stubborn and firm.
Chi Qiaoqi lowered his head and stepped up the third step. As soon as he looked up, he heard Yan Cha's scream.In the screaming tone, there seemed to be more joy than surprise, and it was finally worthy of Chi Qiaoqi's intentions from afar.
Every girl in the Yan tea shop has a good handicraft, making coffee, making snacks, and folding silk flowers.Yan Cha described that every time she spends time in the store, it is always like being at home on the weekend, leisurely and accompanied by the live version of laughter.On the bustling Fifth Avenue, you can feel the leisure of the small town of Ludlow, which is a kind of beauty.
Now is not the most leisurely afternoon tea time, Yan Cha and those lovely girls still conjured up papaya sago and chocolate cracked biscuits to entertain Chi Qiaoqi.The speed was so fast that Chi Qiaoqi couldn't help but suspect that the back of Yancha Clothing Store was a pastry kitchen that gathered all kinds of pastries.
When talking about this to Yan Cha, Yan Cha had a helpless expression on his face, "There is no way, the shortcomings must be made up with the strengths."
"Insufficient?" Chi Qiaoqi was surprised, and asked almost subconsciously, "Where?"
Yan Cha sighed, and looked at Chi Qiaoqi for a long time, his eyes were pitifully bright, "How fast our designer Chi can produce the drawings."
Paris, Tokyo, New York.
Yancha's stores always seem to have a great geographical advantage.
Color 191 on the Champs Elysees is the earliest operation of Yancha, Multi-BrandShops, including many exclusives of excellent designers.
Old Wind in Ginza, Tokyo specializes in vintage, all kinds of unique items, from clothes to jewelry to bags and shoes, continuing a kind of retro elegance.
And Mr. W, which opened on Fifth Avenue, seems to be quite lucky. It opened four years ago, and it didn't take long from decoration to opening, but it became a well-known high-end clothing store on Fifth Avenue in one fell swoop.
Yan Cha never denied the energy she put into Mr. W, but she never made it public.Like the store itself, restrained and understated, yet secretly gorgeous.
Someone once joked to Yan Cha that Mr. W is like a god who overlooks all beings, grasping the deepest dreams in many women's hearts, but only a few can realize them.And the more this is the case, the more people look forward to it.
Although it is a joke, it is realistic.
Mr. W releases ten design drafts every season, and each design is limited to 21 pieces.Special supply channels, professional garment factories, senior tailors with more than 30 years of experience, pay great attention to details of deep processing.
Every point makes Mr. W glow with unique brilliance.
This is indeed the deepest magic of Mr. W, and the center of the magic is four high-end handmade designs a year.One draft, one garment, unique.
High-quality exclusive raw materials, subtle detail design, complex manual craftsmanship, and unique imagination of the soul.It can always touch the deepest and most former desire in the girl's heart.
Just like what Mr. W has been professing to the outside world, every girl needs a small dress.
It's like a spell that makes those who know it fall for it.
Every store on Fifth Avenue has a bargaining chip for survival, the most special and independent, like a soul.
And the soul of Mr. W is Chi Qiaoqi.
This point is Yan Cha's firm belief both in words and in his heart, and will always stick to it.It was also the original agreement between Chi Qiaoqi and Yan Cha.No matter how the store is decorated, how the customer base changes, or even how the store address changes.
Mr. W's permanent and sole designer position will never change.
The Paraiba tourmaline originating from Brazil has flawless cut, dazzling light, crystals without impurities, and extremely intoxicating neon blue.
11.47CT, not too big, but not too small.
It is just right to make ring face, pendant, decoration and collection.
Or, without looking at anything else, just taking a look at the color that belongs to the treasure is enough to make people exhausted.
The handsome auctioneer made an introduction on the stage with a charming language. He was blond and blue-eyed, with a well-angled smile, and his light was not obscured by the blue tourmaline at all.
The people below were all listening intently. In the silence, Chi Qiaoqi looked around and leaned into Yan Cha's ear, "I can get so much right now. You try to resolve the battle within this range."
Yan Cha looked down at the price written by Chi Qiaoqi on the phone screen, and chuckled, "The price of taking this handsome guy as a gift?"
"Then it's up to you." Chi Qiaoqi lowered his voice, "There is no more, but if there is any leftover, I can consider paying your labor fee."
"Just two-thirds of the price you wrote." Yan Cha chuckled, and secretly lowered the neckline that couldn't be any lower, "The labor fee will be paid with one of your design drawings."
Grandfather's barbecue time.
A sausage shop on the quietest corner of the street.The elderly owner, everyone calls him Old Jack, a very common name, but the food in his hand is amazingly delicious.
The wooden chairs and stools that were erected at random, before it was completely dark, there were not any vacant ones left.
There are all kinds of grilled things in the old Jack's shop, such as sausages, beef, shellfish and even crabs that you buy when you go for a walk in the afternoon, it all depends on your mood.
Of course, what old Jack is best at is a kind of sausage called old-fashioned double-sided. The limit is only ten catties a day. If there is more, you can only wait until tomorrow morning.
Some people even waited until the store opened in the afternoon to eat a piece of old Jack's sausage. The fanaticism was much crazier than Mr. Warm's followers.
The secret black pepper and white sausage, delicate and just the right depth of the flower knife, different double-sided sauce, coupled with just the right grilling, is really worth waiting for early.
Laid-back mood, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, plus the occasional starlight.Good for waiting.More for raves.
And Chi Qiaoqi and Yan Cha's carnival tonight is here.
"Wow, so you are of mixed race." Yan Cha looked astonished as expected, "Let me guess, beauty and law, or virtue?"
The young auctioneer smiled subtly, "My father is from here, and my mother is from Italy. Before coming here, we lived together in a small town in Italy with beautiful scenery."
"Just by your appearance, you can tell how wonderful the place you live in." Yan Cha drank a glass of beer, and smiled more and more strangely, "A place that shines like a jewel."
Chi Qiaoqi was seriously dismantling a crab, and was so disturbed by Yan Cha's false but sincere words that he almost got cut by the crab's shell.Yan Cha's personality has not changed for thousands of years, but she is always liked by others.It's very ostentatious, but it always brings joy to people.
After receiving the hint from Yan Cha's eyes, Chi Qiaoqi raised his eyes and looked around, planning a way to retreat.Against the backdrop of the night, it seemed that there were more and more people.Next to the steps next to it, there are decorated with colorful lights, dimly extinguished, and then dimly illuminated, the scenes that only exist in memory always seem to have a special magic power.
Chi Qiaoqi secretly pointed towards Yan Cha in the direction of the steps, Yan Cha silently blinked in acquiescence, and the smile spread behind his ears.
Just as he was getting up, old Jack happened to pass by with an iron plate, and greeted Chaoyan Tea heartily, "Hey, we meet again, Miss Tea who sells clothes but not tea."
Yan Cha laughed and waved at old Jack, "Hi, Grandpa Jack who sells sausages and crabs."
After finishing speaking, he pointed here and introduced to the old Jack, "Jo, an Asian girl from Beijing. Carlo, the youngest auctioneer in New York, of course, the youngest I have ever seen."
Old Jack laughed out loud, and shouted to the helper in the store, "Tina, bring a dozen beers and two cheese rolls, and charge them to my account."
"Generous Grandpa Jack." Yan Cha whistled loudly and raised his beer glass, "I respect you."
It seemed that Yan Cha and old Jack hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had completely ignored the handsome guy who was chatting happily just now.
Chi Qiaoqi moved the seat next to Yan Cha to old Jack, and naturally sat next to Carlo, taking on the duty of entertaining. Carlo didn't mind Yan Cha's ignorance at all, and his smiling face remained unchanged.
Chi Qiaoqi had a round of drinking with Carlo while holding a glass of wine. In the room of chatting, he suddenly noticed the tattoo on Carlo's index finger.A small string of floral letters, embellished with two integrated flowers, is very fresh and beautiful.
Chi Qiaoqi couldn't hold back his curiosity immediately, "Does this pattern have any special meaning?"
"Of course." Carlo put down his wine glass, and slightly stretched out his index finger to Chi Qiaoqi, "This is a magic finger that can predict your past and future."
Chi Qiaoqi smiled and tilted his head, "Goldfinger?"
"Maybe we can try it." Carlo pretended to be deep, "My prediction is much more accurate than a gypsy's crystal ball."
The words are a bit mystical, but why not, even if it is just for entertainment.Besides, the night is so beautiful.
Chi Qiaoqi put the wine glass back cooperatively, sat upright, with a serious face, "A part-time fortune-teller with a magical golden finger, please tell me, what is my so-called future like?"
Carlo really closed his eyes seriously, and touched Chi Qiaoqi's eyebrows with his fingers lightly.
"Close your eyes." Carlo said slowly, "Leave everything to me with all your heart."
At that moment, maybe it was a hallucination or self-suggestion, Chi Qiaoqi seemed to really feel that there was a magical power, which lightly reached the bottom of her heart through Carlo's fingers.
It was as if, receiving some enlightenment, when the Buddha's hand touched the monkey's forehead, it instantly transformed into thousands of powers.
"Alberobello." Carlo's magnetic and slow voice sounded in his ears, like a spell, a bit awkward.
Chi Qiaoqi didn't really hear it, and subconsciously opened his eyes, "What?"
"Your future." Carlo slowly opened his eyes, with light-colored lights flickering in them, "In Alberobello."
"Alberobello?" Chi Qiaoqi repeated Carlo's pronunciation, becoming more and more confused, "Does this place exist?
"Of course." Carlo smiled slightly, "I just mentioned, a beautiful Italian town, where I was born and grew up."
Chi Qiaoqi suddenly realized something belatedly.It seemed to be a joke on Carlo's part, and she, unfortunately, took it seriously.
However, it did entertain her.
"You can go to Hollywood. You can get full marks for your performance just now." Chi Qiaoqi picked up his beer glass and lightly touched Carlo's. "To you, part-time actor's fortune teller."
Carlo's smile remained the same, and he didn't defend or explain because of Chi Qiaoqi's disbelief, "When you really realize it, remember to think of me."
It seems that all fortune tellers in the world like to play tricks like this, Chi Qiaoqi couldn't deny it, picked up his glass again and drank it down, then smiled calmly, "I hope you are right."
Regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong, it at least proves that the word "future" still exists in her life.
"What are you talking about?" It seemed that the movement here caught Yan Cha's attention, and she quickly turned her head, "Old Jack and I are guessing coins, do you want to join?"
"Okay." Carlo agreed, winking at Chi Qiaoqi, "Just to show you my golden fingers."
Yan Cha happily gathered four wine glasses together, filled them up one by one, and waved to Tina, "I think we need another dozen beers."
After a few rounds, the wine glass in front of Carlo emptied again and again, and his fair face gradually became crimson.
Yan Cha took advantage of Carlo's time when he was fined for drinking, and leaned into Chi Qiaoqi's ear and asked, "What were you talking about so happily just now, did you mention me?"
"There's nothing special to talk about." Chi Qiaoqi looked at Carlo's empty glass and smiled slightly, "It's just a joke."
A joke that was almost believed to be true.
In the distance, bright and dim lights, the night in New York gradually entered the deepest time.
Chi Qiaoqi's return flight ticket was booked at around ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, and Yan Cha was not informed of the itinerary that had been confirmed before coming here.
Yan Cha was naturally pissed off by Chi Qiaoqi, and complained all the way on the drive to the airport, saying that Chi Qiaoqi was not interesting enough, that she never came to see her for a long time, and every time she came, she would not stay for long. Walk.
Chi Qiaoqi knew that Yan Cha was used to being unforgiving, so he let her have a little temper for a while.
Before boarding the plane, seeing that Yan Cha seemed to be in a better mood, he cautiously said, "Yan Cha."
"What are you doing?" Yan Cha glared at her, "Little heartless."
Chi Qiaoqi pulled Yan Cha's sleeve and approached her, smiling obsequiously, "Do you know a gem setter named Fard? The one who did hand-set for Loya's brand jewelry exhibition."
"Yeah." Yan Cha glanced at Chi Qiaoqi and hummed softly, "So what's wrong with knowing each other?"
"Chachachacha..." Chi Qiaoqi blinked, "The blueprints and the tourmaline box are already in the drawer beside your bed. Please help me if you find some free time."
Yan Cha has always had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and after just a few sentences, he couldn't stand Chi Qiaoqi's soft and hard foam, and began to let go slightly, "Then what about the design you promised me?"
"Of course we are together." Chi Qiaoqi held his head proudly, "Am I such an unjust person?"
"Indeed." Yan Cha nodded affirmatively, her eyebrows raised high, "The air ticket was booked early in the morning, and the design drawings for the mosaic were also brought along. What did you say that you came to see me specially, because you came here for this auction?"
Chi Qiaoqi's purpose of this trip was finally exposed by Yan Cha, he pursed his lips and smiled in response, looking at Yan Cha with a smile in his eyes, full of flattery.
"Forget it." Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Cha finally calmed down and told him, "Take care of yourself. If staying there is boring, come here and find me."
This should be Yan Cha's greatest expression. It's not easy for a person like her who doesn't care about everything to miss so much, let alone say all of this.It's really hard for her.
Chi Qiaoqi took a deep breath, reached out to hug Yan Cha, put his chin on Yan Cha's shoulder, and tried to get rid of all the sourness in his eyes, "I see, tea is long-winded."
After walking for a few days and then going back, Beijing was completely clear.Although it looks a little dry, it doesn't affect the mood.
Chi Qiaoqi returned home smoothly with the small suitcase that accompanied him. All the way to the green light, there was no traffic jam at all, and he immediately felt better.
The small suitcase was full of small gifts prepared by Yan Cha temporarily, and it was a little heavy. Chi Qiaoqi reluctantly opened the door with it, closed it again, and finally put it on the ground.
When he stood up and raised his head again, he froze on the spot.
Jian Yan Zuo Zheng stood in front of the sofa, looking at her seriously.It seemed that she had just woken up from the sound of her entering the door, but there was still a special haze in her focused eyes.
The two collars of the shirt were undulating, and the hem was also slightly raised, not quite fitting, and slightly wrinkled.The slippers seemed to be in the state of wanting to wear them but not being able to put them on in time. They were half pulled, not calm.
It seems to be a very common scene, which may or often happens in other people's daily life.But all of this is, without exaggeration, a huge exception to Jian Yanzuo.
He had never been so embarrassed.Every time I see him, he always looks like a patterned model hanging out in a clothing store, straight and composed.
But in the face of such a sudden scene, Chi Qiaoqi didn't know what expression to make or what to say for a while, so he just stood there dumbly, not knowing what to do.
Facing Jian Yanzuo's gradually warming expression, it seemed that she was the intruder who was in harmony.So stupid.
But even so, she still didn't ignore Jian Yanzuo's involuntary, momentary relaxation at the moment when she met Jian Yanzuo's eyes just now.
Even if it is deliberately covered up, it is still so clear.
It seems that everyone's feeling for a place is slowly changing with the deepening of familiarity with this place.From unfamiliarity and fear, to indifference, to familiarity and peace.Like people, they have a clear sense of cognition.
This was the theory that popped into Chi Qiaoqi's mind when he stepped up the steps of Mr. Jian's courtyard again.
Everything seemed to be the same as last time. When the chess game started over there, Chi Qiaoqi's side had also started one after another. Each side did not interfere with each other, and each side was in an orderly manner.
In the middle of moxibustion on the last acupoint, Mama Feng, who had always been quiet during the previous process, unexpectedly came in from the outside, stood upright beside Mr. Jane, and said softly, "Sir, I want to see you, Master Xiang Shen."
Mr. Jane held the piece with two fingers, and landed steadily on the chessboard, with a calm voice, "Let him in."
It seemed that she was waiting outside the door. A few seconds after Mama Feng went out, Chi Qiaoqi heard footsteps.
At the same time, Jian Yan heard the slight sound of the chair on the left, and then his slightly slow voice, "Little Uncle."
No one answered or responded, and all the good atmosphere just now seemed to stagnate at this moment.
Chi Qiaoqi was a little puzzled, turned his face slightly, and looked around from the corner of his eye, but was surprised to find that the gaze he caught was staring at him scorchingly.
At that moment, if Chi Qiaoqi was not mistaken, apart from hostility, there was no friendliness in that gaze.
Jian Xiangshen didn't shy away from Chi Qiaoqi's gaze, and instead asked more directly, "A new acupuncturist?"
Chi Qiaoqi was not ready to answer.She understands better than anyone else that this question is not for her.And Jian Yanzuo and Mr. Jian just sat on the rattan chairs, neither of them wanted to answer or was ready to answer.
There was silence.After three or four seconds, Mama Feng rounded up the words, "Miss Chi is a new family doctor hired by my husband, and she is very good at acupuncture."
"Tell me about your education background." Jian Xiang folded her arms deeply, ignored Feng Ma's reply, and looked at Chi Qiaoqi with a light chin, "The family doctors of Jian's family have always been staff who have studied abroad and have practiced medicine for many years. experienced specialist, and you, with all due respect, do not seem to fit the bill."
"Xiang Shen." Mr. Jian finally spoke, with an extremely majestic voice, "Don't go too far."
"On the contrary, I think it's reasonable for me to ask." Jian Xiangshen slightly raised his voice, "You are my father, and I need to be responsible to you and to the entire Jian family. Should I let such an obviously unqualified Is it not too much for those who stay here and ignore it?"
Instead, she continued to look at Chi Qiaoqi, and said slowly, "I'm right, Miss Chi."
Chi Qiaoqi pursed his lips and looked down at the moxa sticks in the moxibustion box lightly.It was almost burnt out, but it seemed to be thicker than the smoke at any moment, so straight that people didn't want to open their eyes.
There was nowhere to hide from the doubts and hostility that hit her face, but she didn't know the reason.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi didn't look at Jian Yanzuo or any of Mr. Jian.Instead, without fear, he looked again at Jian Xiangshen who was still waiting for her answer without giving in.
"Mr. Jian, if you insist on judging a doctor's ability by his or her rank and age, maybe I'm not the right person for this job according to you." Chi Qiaoqi had a well-preserved smile, as if he was talking about a sparse The usual story, without the slightest anger, "But, what you may not know is that I received a very complete training in Australia. When my classmates in the same grade were still in the third year of university, I had completely transferred to internal medicine. , surgery, emergency and night shifts, and have managed all wards including oncology, rehabilitation, elderly, and extraskeletal. In terms of age, maybe I am indeed a little young. But in terms of qualifications, you really have no position to criticize my ability.”
After a pause, facing Jian Xiangshen's already slightly darkened face, he added, "Besides, I think you also know that family doctors don't need to be on the operating table, and unfortunately, no matter in During my school study or my internship in the hospital, my two subjects of first aid and health care have always been full marks."
A speech, gentle and powerful but neither humble nor overbearing.A decent and appropriate smile, but it has been maintained.
After saying this, Chi Qiaoqi didn't think about staying any longer.She could have chosen to swallow her anger and wait for either Jian Yiwei or Jian Yanzuo to explain or defend her, but she didn't.
Waiting was not something she was willing to do.Although she doesn't have many things, this may be the only persistence she can keep.Even if this was the last word she said at Jane's house, she hoped that she could leave with a not humble attitude.
What Chi Qiaoqi didn't expect was that after Jian Xiang gave a ambiguous smile, she didn't continue to insist on not giving an inch.Instead, he changed his previous aggressive attitude and applauded Jian Yanzuo, "I said that the person Yan Zuo is looking for is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Now it seems that it is so."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Chi Qiaoqi, heard the voice of the yin and yang praise.Maybe it was just implied, but the current situation can be called explicit.
It turned out that the ulterior motives had never been with her.Chi Qiaoqi frowned slightly, regretting his impulsiveness.Forgive her for being slow, she didn't think about the meaning behind Jane Xiangshen's words from the beginning to the end.
She had inexplicable Jane Xiangshen's hostility towards her, and always thought that she had offended him, but she never thought that although the direction of the hostility was directed at her, the point of attack was her back.And what made her feel even more disturbed was that after those words just now, she had personally placed Jian Yanzuo in a really awkward position, just because of her blind and straightforwardness.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi warned himself not to look at Jian Yanzuo in any way.She has pushed him to the edge of the cliff, and she can't let him fall into a situation where he cannot be redeemed.Though not intentional, negligence can be just as deadly.
She should have thought that a big family like Jane's should not be innocent.Even if it is an outsider, every word and deed will still affect every bit of the surrounding.What's more, she was in a very delicate position indeed.
What reassured Chi Qiaoqi was Jian Yanzuo's extremely bland reaction, "Little uncle, I'm too pleased."
Then, as if nothing happened just now, he gently pulled the chair and offered to give up his seat, "Would you like to accompany Grandpa to the next game, little uncle?"
Jian Xiangshen snorted softly, and said in a rather unkind tone, "I'll let it go, you're better at flattery."
In one word, the meaning of irony is greater than that of sarcasm.And Jian Yanzuo didn't seem to understand, sat down again, held the piece with one hand, concentrated all his energy on the chess game, and continued steadily.
In the whole room, it seemed that only the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard was left, which was light and crisp, and it was not affected at all.
Chi Qiaoqi finished everything quickly. The next second after packing up his things, Jian Yanzuo, who had been immersed in the chessboard, raised his head slightly, "Go out and wait for me."
Chi Qiaoqi nodded, gathered his things together and walked out. When he left, he was still accompanied by Jian Xiangshen's dark eyes.
How should I describe that kind of depressing probing, like a wild wolf that has been hiding in the depths, its body hidden in the grass, no flaws can be seen, but its eyes are so eager and arrogant, desperate.
Among all the animals in the world, Chi Qiaoqi thought the wolf was the scariest.It is an animal that knows how to wait, hide, accumulate, and counterattack.Behind the seemingly careless appearance, it seems to be preparing for the end all the time.
In particular, wolves often like to hide behind their prey.And the dark place is more suitable for breeding conspiracy.
Outside, Mama Feng prepared scented tea for Chi Qiaoqi as usual. In the plain white cup, small marigolds were safely in bloom, rippling brightly.The sun-like color seems to indirectly smudge the surrounding air.In the peaceful scenery, Chi Qiaoqi suddenly felt dizzy.
Sit down with the handle of the chair, and barely sit up straight.No matter how calm you are, the surrounding scenery has become too hazy.
Mama Feng saw it, her eyes were full of concern, "Miss Chi is not feeling well?"
Chi Qiaoqi only felt that the general outline of Feng Ma's face could still be seen clearly, but the details such as the nose and eyes were blurred to the point of distortion.In the blink of an eye, the dizziness became more obvious.
With a forced smile, Chi Qiaoqi tried hard to make all his movements normal, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired after sitting in it for a long time."
"Being a doctor is really hard." Feng's mother didn't pursue it any further, her voice was a little bit more pity, "Miss Chi, sit here for a while, I'll go and serve some refreshments to my husband and the others."
Taking advantage of Feng's mother leaving, Chi Qiaoqi knocked out two pills from the medicine bottle she carried with her, and swallowed them with scented tea. The slightly bitter echoes of the medicine and scented tea finally brought back some reassuring taste .
Chi Qiaoqi put his hands on his cheeks and closed his eyes gently, unable to restrain his powerlessness.
I haven't been resting very well recently, I have light sleep and often suffer from insomnia.Repeatedly, can't find the reason.Last night's situation was even worse. I swallowed six Valium tablets in a row, but I still didn't feel drowsy.After repeated restraint, he did not continue to swallow the remaining half of the bottle.
Thinking back, the most peaceful sleep recently was the night in New York, when Yan Cha slept on the next bed, and the gentle breath brought her into the dream all the way.Such stability, more and more forgotten.
As the footsteps approached, Chi Qiaoqi opened his eyes without leaving a trace, and gently took a sip of scented tea from his teacup. Everything that caught his eyes was much better.
It was still Mama Feng, who came forward to refill Chi Qiaoqi's tea, warm and hot, "Miss Chi has to wait a little longer, sir and the young master will start a new game of chess."
Chi Qiaoqi didn't comment, but was still surprised.Jian Yanzuo and Mr. Jian's game of chess has always been a game, no matter what she saw with her own eyes or in Feng Ma's description.Not in a hurry, but with their own styles.However, even if he was in high spirits, he never started the second game.Generally, after a game is over, the chess game is cleaned up, and then it is over.
Today, it seems, something is different.What surprised Chi Qiaoqi was that there was more than one game in the continuation of the game.
I can't remember how many cups of tea I drank, and I almost finished the refreshments served by Mama Feng, and a few hours passed, but I still couldn't see the mess inside.Mama Feng went in and out many times, refilling tea and delivering refreshments, and when she came out, her expression became darker each time.In the end, he really had nothing to explain to Chi Qiaoqi, so he had to continue to refill Chi Qiaoqi's tea frequently.
In the end, it was Jian Xiangshen's departure that broke all the balance.Alone, he came out of the room with no shadow on his face, but smiled and said goodbye to Chi Qiaoqi and Mama Feng.I can't see what happened in the previous period of time.
Chi Qiaoqi responded politely, nodded, and said goodbye, everything was very normal.It can't be seen that the two people were facing each other before.
The coat that Jian Xiangshen wore was placed in a separate cloakroom. Mama Feng went to pick it up after explaining briefly to Jian Xiangshen. After going back and forth, she unexpectedly gave Chi Qiaoqi and Jian Xiangshen a little time.
During this short period of time, Jian Xiangshen just leaned into Chi Qiaoqi's ear lightly, seemingly without breath, but quietly left a meaningful sentence, "Little girl, trust me, leave Jianyan alone." Farther to the left."
Mantra-like, slow and muffled.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi didn't move a bit, nor said a word, just looked straight at Jian Xiangshen's face from near to far, and gradually smiled.
She felt the corners of her mouth turned up, and heard her voice without the slightest ups and downs, "Thank you."
Just as Chi Qiaoqi finished speaking, Mother Feng had already brought the clothes, walked closer, and handed them to Jian Xiangshen, "Young master, go slowly."
Jane took it from Xiangshen without any extra words, put on her coat seriously, and then stepped out of the threshold of the main house.
Chi Qiaoqi had been watching Jian Xiangshen's figure disappear from sight for a long time, and the feeling of being oppressed finally gradually eased.
"Master Xiang Shen's temper is not very good. Don't take what Miss Chi said to you." Mother Feng smiled and stood beside Chi Qiaoqi, very concerned, "He is the youngest son of Mr. He has always been with everyone. I grew up caring, so it's normal to have a bad temper."
"I'm fine." Chi Qiaoqi could clearly feel Mama Feng's concern, not obvious, but very sincere, "Thank you."
Mama Feng smiled and shook her head, as an answer to Chi Qiaoqi's clear thanks.
After a pause, he changed the subject, "Since Master Juwen passed away, my husband has changed a lot. Every time Master Xiangshen came, he couldn't talk for too long. Gradually, Master Xiangshen came less often. .”
Chi Qiaoqi didn't know what Feng Ma wanted to express, so he nodded slightly without saying anything to agree.
"Since the young master came back to the master, the master's mood has improved a little bit." Feng Ma's tone was a little slow, inadvertently sad, "Perhaps it is because this kind of tacit understanding of mutual dependence cannot be inserted, and the relationship between the young master Xiang Shen and the young master The attitude has not been very good.”
Feng Ma's words didn't say what was necessary, but Chi Qiaoqi could read the rest.The ones just now were not accidental.
"Young master is very lonely." Mama Feng suddenly looked at Chi Qiaoqi, serious and focused, "He has been on the road alone for so many years."
After saying this, Mama Feng didn't continue, but just looked at Chi Qiaoqi with complicated eyes, showing some love, hope, worry, and maybe something else that Chi Qiaoqi couldn't understand.
At that moment, Chi Qiaoqi had some uncontrollable subconsciousness, "Why did you tell me this?"
The next moment, Mama Feng's knowing smile reappeared, and her words were soft enough to touch her heart, "I can see that you are the most suitable person to be by Young Master's side."
(End of this chapter)
The underground car park of the Jane's Building in Hong Kong on Monday.
As soon as Xu Mo's car stopped in the parking space, he saw the window of the car next to him lowered, and then he showed a smiling face, "Morning, Assistant Xu."
"Morning Director Xiao." Xu Mo greeted, lowered his head, and carefully cleaned the dust that did not exist on the high heels.He intentionally dawdled for a while, but happened to be standing in front of the elevator with Xiao Sui at the same pace.
"You don't look very good." Xiao Sui pressed the button and turned to ask Xu Mo. "Is the weather in Australia okay?"
Full of Xiao Sui's style, obviously gloating.
Xu Mo stepped into the elevator and pressed the 39th floor and [-]th floor at the same time, with a natural tone, "Thanks to Director Xiao, it finally caught up with the sunny day."
"Oh, no no no no, I'll go up with you and talk to Jane Sir about something." Xiao Sui pressed it again, canceling the appointment on the fourteenth floor, "Working as soon as I come back, Hutt's assistant is really competent."
Xu Mo caught a trace of important information in Xiao Sui's words, and then asked, "Mr. Jian is already in the company?"
Xiao Sui was baffled by Xu Mo's disbelief, "Why isn't he here? The company just opened four sales channels in the Asia-Pacific region. How could he be missing at such an important moment."
Xu Mo suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Sui frowned and thought for a while, finally understood Xu Mo's silence, and asked tentatively, "Did you catch any rumors when you went to Australia this time?"
"No." Xu Mo denied it categorically, seeing the number scrolling on the elevator freeze at 39, he stepped out with one foot to get out of the elevator.
Suddenly, Xiao Sui withdrew to block the elevator entrance, reached out and pressed the door close button, and successfully blocked Xu Mo in the elevator, "Honey Mo, you are not good."
Xu Mo's usually flat temperament was finally poked at the sore spot by Xiao Sui, "I have told you so many times, you can call me Special Assistant Xu, Assistant Xu, or even Xu Mo directly, the title just now is not suitable for our relationship. "
"Why not, honey, darling, sweet?" Xiao Sui smiled deeply, "I think you are especially suitable for such a sweet title."
Xiao Sui wins verbally as always, Xu Mo finally chose to remain silent, calmed down a little, and waited for Xiao Sui to back down a bit.
"Have you heard about Xiao Qingmei from Jian's family?" Xiao Sui asked casually, but his tone became closer to the truth. "Or, you have already found her?"
Xu Mo still didn't speak, just looked directly at Xiao Sui, his whole face tensed.
After a long time, seeing that Xiao Sui still had no intention of giving in, Xu Mo finally said calmly, "Director Xiao, there is a limit to gossip. Mr. Jian doesn't like others to touch his privacy. I think you know it too."
In a word, the emotions brought out made Xiao Sui obviously aware of the coldness.
"Okay." Xiao Sui shrugged, and finally let go of the closing key, "In your eyes, my concern is gossip, intimacy is distortion, and pain is pretending. But, don't forget the fact that I stand side by side with Jian Yanzuo We fought for nearly ten years, and the day Xiao Qingmei disappeared, we were in Hong Kong and flew together in St. Petersburg."
The elevator door opened silently, Xiao Sui stepped aside, and silently gestured "please" to Xu Mo.
There was still a smile on his face, without any emotional ups and downs.
Xu Mo clenched his fist tightly, and finally let go.
His fingers touched the door close button again, and he turned around slowly.
"I don't have any definite information about Miss Chi, but there are two points. First, Mr. Jian changed his family doctor a few days ago. I was supposed to pick him up, but unfortunately, we missed it because of the weather. When I was talking on the phone with Mr. Jian, his mood was a little imperceptibly low." Xu Mo looked at Xiao Sui, and said calmly, "Second point, the old house of Jian Chi's family has been looking for someone to call him here. Reason, I received a call last night saying that the water and electricity meters of the two houses moved a little abnormally, not like the abnormality of leakage of electricity and water, but more like..."
"Someone is using it." Xiao Sui naturally took over the words, "So it is indeed Jian's little Qingmei who has returned?"
"It's too early to draw a final conclusion." Xu Mo's face remained calm, and he pursed his lips slightly, "I want to confirm again. After all, we have been close like this before, not just this time."
After saying this, Xu Mo let go of his fingers.As the elevator door slowly slid open, he took the first step out.
After walking a few steps, he paused slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally turned around, "Just now, I'm sorry."
Xiao Sui didn't speak, the expression on his face was still as calm as ever.Xu Mo didn't wait for Xiao Sui's answer. After finishing speaking, he paused, turned around again, and walked away without stopping.
It seemed that at the moment Xu Mo turned around, a smile slowly spread over the corner of Xiao Sui's mouth.In the end, he smiled until the corners of his eyes slightly turned up.
This play of pretending to be weak really proved to be a tried and tested one.
Xu Mo and Xiao staggered back and forth and passed the secretary's desk. Xu Mo put one of the document bags on the counter and told Secretary Yin on duty, "These inside are distributed to the directors according to the markings."
"Okay." Secretary Yin nodded, and confirmed the contents of the file bag one by one, "Mr. Jian asked you to go in as soon as you come."
Xu Mo signed a few more words, and asked in the space between the signatures, "When did you come to the company, sir?"
"It's a little past seven." Secretary Yin grinned at Xu Mo and lowered his voice secretly, "When we arrive, we'll call all directors for an emergency meeting."
Xu Mo nodded to show his understanding. After signing, he asked Xiao Sui who was waiting beside him, "When did you turn on your phone today?"
"Old rules, eight o'clock." Xiao Sui looked bitter, "So I don't need you to remind me that someone will be sent to South America for an investigation in a while, and this person will most likely be me."
"Your foresight has always been accurate." Xu Mo raised his eyebrows in agreement, with a rare schadenfreude, "The current scenery in South America must be much better than Australia."
When Xu Mo followed Xiao Sui in, Jian Yan Zuo was not working.Standing alone in front of the glass window with his back to the door, he couldn't detect any emotion.Hearing the knock on the door, he paused, turned around, and said to Xu Mo, "Thank you."
"No." Xu Mo shook his head slightly, walked forward, and handed the document bag he had been holding to Jian Yanzuo, "A friend of Professor Lean asked me to give it to you."
There are not many things in the file bag, but the content seems to be very mixed, with long and short papers in various background colors.
Jian Yan didn't look at Zuo quickly, turning over one after another, his face became darker and darker, but he remained silent.
Xu Mo and Xiao Sui exchanged glances involuntarily, with obvious doubts.This is obviously different from his previous look when he was reading documents. His slightly frowned brows, tightly pursed lips, and stiff fingers holding the paper are not very good signs.
The sound of paper flipping stopped on the last page for a long time, Jian Yanzuo finally read it, put it all back into the original paper bag, opened the drawer and put it in, paused for a while, and when he closed it, he still had a gloomy expression just now It has eased up a lot.He raised his eyes to signal Xu Mo, "Go and tidy up, wait for me in the parking lot in half an hour."
Xu Mo took the order and left, and when he turned around, he secretly made a blessing gesture to Xiao Sui.
Xiao Sui nodded exaggeratedly to express his gratitude. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Jian Yan's glance to the left, and said frankly, "Where will I be exiled this time, South America or North Africa?"
"Neither of them." Jian Yanzuo didn't intend to lay the groundwork or beat around the bush, and said directly, "New York."
"Wow, what a great place." Xiao Sui whistled sharply, squinted his eyes and looked at Jian Yanzuo, "Don't try to bribe me, the person I like will always be the one just now."
Jian Yan is rare and serious, "Xu Mo is not someone you should provoke, she deserves a better life."
"That's not something you should consider." Xiao Sui raised his eyebrows, "Tell me, what are you sending me to New York for?"
"Little uncle, there is a lot of mess." Jian Yanzuo's attention returned to the matter, his expression was so serious that Xiao Sui was unfamiliar, "It's not convenient for me to come forward, although your identity is not suitable. But, you also know, As long as it is someone from here, no one is suitable."
Jian Yanzuo's words were not very thorough, but Xiao Sui abnormally did not pursue further.Classmates and have worked together for so many years, this is a rare tacit understanding between them.
"Well, anyway, it's not once or twice to wipe his butt, and I don't care about it again." Xiao Sui swept his eyebrows with his thumb, with an impatient expression on his face, "When you take the main seat, remember to be the first Cut down his clan."
Jian Yanzuo nodded slightly, not knowing whether to approve or agree, "I will work hard."
Compared with the sunny weather in Hong Kong, Beijing finally turned sunny after a few bouts of heavy rain.After half a month of uninterrupted cleaning, even the air seems to be much better.
It just so happened that Chi Qiaoqi's trip took place in such a beautiful weather.
And her next stop is Fifth Avenue in New York.
Regarding this visit, Chi Qiaoqi did not leak any information beforehand.I made a layover in Hong Kong comfortably, arranged the itinerary by myself, played around, ate and drank enough, and brought a gift for Yan Cha by the way.Compared with the embarrassment last time, both the mood and the appearance are completely different.
Get out of Kennedy Airport with ease, take a taxi to the northernmost point of Fifth Avenue, get off and walk happily all the way.At this moment, because of the relaxation, the mood is extremely good.
Chi Qiaoqi likes the night in New York more than the day. In her impression, the night in New York has a carnival flavor.
The lights of various colors, shops of various styles, passers-by with various expressions, signboards of different heights, windows of different sizes, and paces of different speeds always feel endowed with special tension.
Yan Cha's shop still has the same decoration as the previous visit, with white marble exterior walls, bright and clear display windows, black solid wood window and door frames, and two colorful glass wall lamps, quiet and low-key.
In the display window, two small dresses float quietly in the light, restrained and luxurious.The background wall is scattered with golden photo frames, and inside the photo frames are hand-painted design drawings.Every fine line has been or is carrying a beautiful and fulfilling dream.
Chi Qiaoqi stood in front of the display window for a long time, like a dreaming girl, full of hope.Finally standing until his ankles were slightly sore, Chi Qiaoqi turned sideways and slowly pushed the door open.
The floor in the store is paved with East African black rosewood, and the heels are buckled on it, and the sound is very crisp.At the beginning, Chi Qiaoqi didn't feel any liking for this kind of material, but as time passed, he liked it more and more.
Yan Cha is always like this, she likes to be extra persistent in some details, stubborn and firm.
Chi Qiaoqi lowered his head and stepped up the third step. As soon as he looked up, he heard Yan Cha's scream.In the screaming tone, there seemed to be more joy than surprise, and it was finally worthy of Chi Qiaoqi's intentions from afar.
Every girl in the Yan tea shop has a good handicraft, making coffee, making snacks, and folding silk flowers.Yan Cha described that every time she spends time in the store, it is always like being at home on the weekend, leisurely and accompanied by the live version of laughter.On the bustling Fifth Avenue, you can feel the leisure of the small town of Ludlow, which is a kind of beauty.
Now is not the most leisurely afternoon tea time, Yan Cha and those lovely girls still conjured up papaya sago and chocolate cracked biscuits to entertain Chi Qiaoqi.The speed was so fast that Chi Qiaoqi couldn't help but suspect that the back of Yancha Clothing Store was a pastry kitchen that gathered all kinds of pastries.
When talking about this to Yan Cha, Yan Cha had a helpless expression on his face, "There is no way, the shortcomings must be made up with the strengths."
"Insufficient?" Chi Qiaoqi was surprised, and asked almost subconsciously, "Where?"
Yan Cha sighed, and looked at Chi Qiaoqi for a long time, his eyes were pitifully bright, "How fast our designer Chi can produce the drawings."
Paris, Tokyo, New York.
Yancha's stores always seem to have a great geographical advantage.
Color 191 on the Champs Elysees is the earliest operation of Yancha, Multi-BrandShops, including many exclusives of excellent designers.
Old Wind in Ginza, Tokyo specializes in vintage, all kinds of unique items, from clothes to jewelry to bags and shoes, continuing a kind of retro elegance.
And Mr. W, which opened on Fifth Avenue, seems to be quite lucky. It opened four years ago, and it didn't take long from decoration to opening, but it became a well-known high-end clothing store on Fifth Avenue in one fell swoop.
Yan Cha never denied the energy she put into Mr. W, but she never made it public.Like the store itself, restrained and understated, yet secretly gorgeous.
Someone once joked to Yan Cha that Mr. W is like a god who overlooks all beings, grasping the deepest dreams in many women's hearts, but only a few can realize them.And the more this is the case, the more people look forward to it.
Although it is a joke, it is realistic.
Mr. W releases ten design drafts every season, and each design is limited to 21 pieces.Special supply channels, professional garment factories, senior tailors with more than 30 years of experience, pay great attention to details of deep processing.
Every point makes Mr. W glow with unique brilliance.
This is indeed the deepest magic of Mr. W, and the center of the magic is four high-end handmade designs a year.One draft, one garment, unique.
High-quality exclusive raw materials, subtle detail design, complex manual craftsmanship, and unique imagination of the soul.It can always touch the deepest and most former desire in the girl's heart.
Just like what Mr. W has been professing to the outside world, every girl needs a small dress.
It's like a spell that makes those who know it fall for it.
Every store on Fifth Avenue has a bargaining chip for survival, the most special and independent, like a soul.
And the soul of Mr. W is Chi Qiaoqi.
This point is Yan Cha's firm belief both in words and in his heart, and will always stick to it.It was also the original agreement between Chi Qiaoqi and Yan Cha.No matter how the store is decorated, how the customer base changes, or even how the store address changes.
Mr. W's permanent and sole designer position will never change.
The Paraiba tourmaline originating from Brazil has flawless cut, dazzling light, crystals without impurities, and extremely intoxicating neon blue.
11.47CT, not too big, but not too small.
It is just right to make ring face, pendant, decoration and collection.
Or, without looking at anything else, just taking a look at the color that belongs to the treasure is enough to make people exhausted.
The handsome auctioneer made an introduction on the stage with a charming language. He was blond and blue-eyed, with a well-angled smile, and his light was not obscured by the blue tourmaline at all.
The people below were all listening intently. In the silence, Chi Qiaoqi looked around and leaned into Yan Cha's ear, "I can get so much right now. You try to resolve the battle within this range."
Yan Cha looked down at the price written by Chi Qiaoqi on the phone screen, and chuckled, "The price of taking this handsome guy as a gift?"
"Then it's up to you." Chi Qiaoqi lowered his voice, "There is no more, but if there is any leftover, I can consider paying your labor fee."
"Just two-thirds of the price you wrote." Yan Cha chuckled, and secretly lowered the neckline that couldn't be any lower, "The labor fee will be paid with one of your design drawings."
Grandfather's barbecue time.
A sausage shop on the quietest corner of the street.The elderly owner, everyone calls him Old Jack, a very common name, but the food in his hand is amazingly delicious.
The wooden chairs and stools that were erected at random, before it was completely dark, there were not any vacant ones left.
There are all kinds of grilled things in the old Jack's shop, such as sausages, beef, shellfish and even crabs that you buy when you go for a walk in the afternoon, it all depends on your mood.
Of course, what old Jack is best at is a kind of sausage called old-fashioned double-sided. The limit is only ten catties a day. If there is more, you can only wait until tomorrow morning.
Some people even waited until the store opened in the afternoon to eat a piece of old Jack's sausage. The fanaticism was much crazier than Mr. Warm's followers.
The secret black pepper and white sausage, delicate and just the right depth of the flower knife, different double-sided sauce, coupled with just the right grilling, is really worth waiting for early.
Laid-back mood, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, plus the occasional starlight.Good for waiting.More for raves.
And Chi Qiaoqi and Yan Cha's carnival tonight is here.
"Wow, so you are of mixed race." Yan Cha looked astonished as expected, "Let me guess, beauty and law, or virtue?"
The young auctioneer smiled subtly, "My father is from here, and my mother is from Italy. Before coming here, we lived together in a small town in Italy with beautiful scenery."
"Just by your appearance, you can tell how wonderful the place you live in." Yan Cha drank a glass of beer, and smiled more and more strangely, "A place that shines like a jewel."
Chi Qiaoqi was seriously dismantling a crab, and was so disturbed by Yan Cha's false but sincere words that he almost got cut by the crab's shell.Yan Cha's personality has not changed for thousands of years, but she is always liked by others.It's very ostentatious, but it always brings joy to people.
After receiving the hint from Yan Cha's eyes, Chi Qiaoqi raised his eyes and looked around, planning a way to retreat.Against the backdrop of the night, it seemed that there were more and more people.Next to the steps next to it, there are decorated with colorful lights, dimly extinguished, and then dimly illuminated, the scenes that only exist in memory always seem to have a special magic power.
Chi Qiaoqi secretly pointed towards Yan Cha in the direction of the steps, Yan Cha silently blinked in acquiescence, and the smile spread behind his ears.
Just as he was getting up, old Jack happened to pass by with an iron plate, and greeted Chaoyan Tea heartily, "Hey, we meet again, Miss Tea who sells clothes but not tea."
Yan Cha laughed and waved at old Jack, "Hi, Grandpa Jack who sells sausages and crabs."
After finishing speaking, he pointed here and introduced to the old Jack, "Jo, an Asian girl from Beijing. Carlo, the youngest auctioneer in New York, of course, the youngest I have ever seen."
Old Jack laughed out loud, and shouted to the helper in the store, "Tina, bring a dozen beers and two cheese rolls, and charge them to my account."
"Generous Grandpa Jack." Yan Cha whistled loudly and raised his beer glass, "I respect you."
It seemed that Yan Cha and old Jack hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had completely ignored the handsome guy who was chatting happily just now.
Chi Qiaoqi moved the seat next to Yan Cha to old Jack, and naturally sat next to Carlo, taking on the duty of entertaining. Carlo didn't mind Yan Cha's ignorance at all, and his smiling face remained unchanged.
Chi Qiaoqi had a round of drinking with Carlo while holding a glass of wine. In the room of chatting, he suddenly noticed the tattoo on Carlo's index finger.A small string of floral letters, embellished with two integrated flowers, is very fresh and beautiful.
Chi Qiaoqi couldn't hold back his curiosity immediately, "Does this pattern have any special meaning?"
"Of course." Carlo put down his wine glass, and slightly stretched out his index finger to Chi Qiaoqi, "This is a magic finger that can predict your past and future."
Chi Qiaoqi smiled and tilted his head, "Goldfinger?"
"Maybe we can try it." Carlo pretended to be deep, "My prediction is much more accurate than a gypsy's crystal ball."
The words are a bit mystical, but why not, even if it is just for entertainment.Besides, the night is so beautiful.
Chi Qiaoqi put the wine glass back cooperatively, sat upright, with a serious face, "A part-time fortune-teller with a magical golden finger, please tell me, what is my so-called future like?"
Carlo really closed his eyes seriously, and touched Chi Qiaoqi's eyebrows with his fingers lightly.
"Close your eyes." Carlo said slowly, "Leave everything to me with all your heart."
At that moment, maybe it was a hallucination or self-suggestion, Chi Qiaoqi seemed to really feel that there was a magical power, which lightly reached the bottom of her heart through Carlo's fingers.
It was as if, receiving some enlightenment, when the Buddha's hand touched the monkey's forehead, it instantly transformed into thousands of powers.
"Alberobello." Carlo's magnetic and slow voice sounded in his ears, like a spell, a bit awkward.
Chi Qiaoqi didn't really hear it, and subconsciously opened his eyes, "What?"
"Your future." Carlo slowly opened his eyes, with light-colored lights flickering in them, "In Alberobello."
"Alberobello?" Chi Qiaoqi repeated Carlo's pronunciation, becoming more and more confused, "Does this place exist?
"Of course." Carlo smiled slightly, "I just mentioned, a beautiful Italian town, where I was born and grew up."
Chi Qiaoqi suddenly realized something belatedly.It seemed to be a joke on Carlo's part, and she, unfortunately, took it seriously.
However, it did entertain her.
"You can go to Hollywood. You can get full marks for your performance just now." Chi Qiaoqi picked up his beer glass and lightly touched Carlo's. "To you, part-time actor's fortune teller."
Carlo's smile remained the same, and he didn't defend or explain because of Chi Qiaoqi's disbelief, "When you really realize it, remember to think of me."
It seems that all fortune tellers in the world like to play tricks like this, Chi Qiaoqi couldn't deny it, picked up his glass again and drank it down, then smiled calmly, "I hope you are right."
Regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong, it at least proves that the word "future" still exists in her life.
"What are you talking about?" It seemed that the movement here caught Yan Cha's attention, and she quickly turned her head, "Old Jack and I are guessing coins, do you want to join?"
"Okay." Carlo agreed, winking at Chi Qiaoqi, "Just to show you my golden fingers."
Yan Cha happily gathered four wine glasses together, filled them up one by one, and waved to Tina, "I think we need another dozen beers."
After a few rounds, the wine glass in front of Carlo emptied again and again, and his fair face gradually became crimson.
Yan Cha took advantage of Carlo's time when he was fined for drinking, and leaned into Chi Qiaoqi's ear and asked, "What were you talking about so happily just now, did you mention me?"
"There's nothing special to talk about." Chi Qiaoqi looked at Carlo's empty glass and smiled slightly, "It's just a joke."
A joke that was almost believed to be true.
In the distance, bright and dim lights, the night in New York gradually entered the deepest time.
Chi Qiaoqi's return flight ticket was booked at around ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, and Yan Cha was not informed of the itinerary that had been confirmed before coming here.
Yan Cha was naturally pissed off by Chi Qiaoqi, and complained all the way on the drive to the airport, saying that Chi Qiaoqi was not interesting enough, that she never came to see her for a long time, and every time she came, she would not stay for long. Walk.
Chi Qiaoqi knew that Yan Cha was used to being unforgiving, so he let her have a little temper for a while.
Before boarding the plane, seeing that Yan Cha seemed to be in a better mood, he cautiously said, "Yan Cha."
"What are you doing?" Yan Cha glared at her, "Little heartless."
Chi Qiaoqi pulled Yan Cha's sleeve and approached her, smiling obsequiously, "Do you know a gem setter named Fard? The one who did hand-set for Loya's brand jewelry exhibition."
"Yeah." Yan Cha glanced at Chi Qiaoqi and hummed softly, "So what's wrong with knowing each other?"
"Chachachacha..." Chi Qiaoqi blinked, "The blueprints and the tourmaline box are already in the drawer beside your bed. Please help me if you find some free time."
Yan Cha has always had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and after just a few sentences, he couldn't stand Chi Qiaoqi's soft and hard foam, and began to let go slightly, "Then what about the design you promised me?"
"Of course we are together." Chi Qiaoqi held his head proudly, "Am I such an unjust person?"
"Indeed." Yan Cha nodded affirmatively, her eyebrows raised high, "The air ticket was booked early in the morning, and the design drawings for the mosaic were also brought along. What did you say that you came to see me specially, because you came here for this auction?"
Chi Qiaoqi's purpose of this trip was finally exposed by Yan Cha, he pursed his lips and smiled in response, looking at Yan Cha with a smile in his eyes, full of flattery.
"Forget it." Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Cha finally calmed down and told him, "Take care of yourself. If staying there is boring, come here and find me."
This should be Yan Cha's greatest expression. It's not easy for a person like her who doesn't care about everything to miss so much, let alone say all of this.It's really hard for her.
Chi Qiaoqi took a deep breath, reached out to hug Yan Cha, put his chin on Yan Cha's shoulder, and tried to get rid of all the sourness in his eyes, "I see, tea is long-winded."
After walking for a few days and then going back, Beijing was completely clear.Although it looks a little dry, it doesn't affect the mood.
Chi Qiaoqi returned home smoothly with the small suitcase that accompanied him. All the way to the green light, there was no traffic jam at all, and he immediately felt better.
The small suitcase was full of small gifts prepared by Yan Cha temporarily, and it was a little heavy. Chi Qiaoqi reluctantly opened the door with it, closed it again, and finally put it on the ground.
When he stood up and raised his head again, he froze on the spot.
Jian Yan Zuo Zheng stood in front of the sofa, looking at her seriously.It seemed that she had just woken up from the sound of her entering the door, but there was still a special haze in her focused eyes.
The two collars of the shirt were undulating, and the hem was also slightly raised, not quite fitting, and slightly wrinkled.The slippers seemed to be in the state of wanting to wear them but not being able to put them on in time. They were half pulled, not calm.
It seems to be a very common scene, which may or often happens in other people's daily life.But all of this is, without exaggeration, a huge exception to Jian Yanzuo.
He had never been so embarrassed.Every time I see him, he always looks like a patterned model hanging out in a clothing store, straight and composed.
But in the face of such a sudden scene, Chi Qiaoqi didn't know what expression to make or what to say for a while, so he just stood there dumbly, not knowing what to do.
Facing Jian Yanzuo's gradually warming expression, it seemed that she was the intruder who was in harmony.So stupid.
But even so, she still didn't ignore Jian Yanzuo's involuntary, momentary relaxation at the moment when she met Jian Yanzuo's eyes just now.
Even if it is deliberately covered up, it is still so clear.
It seems that everyone's feeling for a place is slowly changing with the deepening of familiarity with this place.From unfamiliarity and fear, to indifference, to familiarity and peace.Like people, they have a clear sense of cognition.
This was the theory that popped into Chi Qiaoqi's mind when he stepped up the steps of Mr. Jian's courtyard again.
Everything seemed to be the same as last time. When the chess game started over there, Chi Qiaoqi's side had also started one after another. Each side did not interfere with each other, and each side was in an orderly manner.
In the middle of moxibustion on the last acupoint, Mama Feng, who had always been quiet during the previous process, unexpectedly came in from the outside, stood upright beside Mr. Jane, and said softly, "Sir, I want to see you, Master Xiang Shen."
Mr. Jane held the piece with two fingers, and landed steadily on the chessboard, with a calm voice, "Let him in."
It seemed that she was waiting outside the door. A few seconds after Mama Feng went out, Chi Qiaoqi heard footsteps.
At the same time, Jian Yan heard the slight sound of the chair on the left, and then his slightly slow voice, "Little Uncle."
No one answered or responded, and all the good atmosphere just now seemed to stagnate at this moment.
Chi Qiaoqi was a little puzzled, turned his face slightly, and looked around from the corner of his eye, but was surprised to find that the gaze he caught was staring at him scorchingly.
At that moment, if Chi Qiaoqi was not mistaken, apart from hostility, there was no friendliness in that gaze.
Jian Xiangshen didn't shy away from Chi Qiaoqi's gaze, and instead asked more directly, "A new acupuncturist?"
Chi Qiaoqi was not ready to answer.She understands better than anyone else that this question is not for her.And Jian Yanzuo and Mr. Jian just sat on the rattan chairs, neither of them wanted to answer or was ready to answer.
There was silence.After three or four seconds, Mama Feng rounded up the words, "Miss Chi is a new family doctor hired by my husband, and she is very good at acupuncture."
"Tell me about your education background." Jian Xiang folded her arms deeply, ignored Feng Ma's reply, and looked at Chi Qiaoqi with a light chin, "The family doctors of Jian's family have always been staff who have studied abroad and have practiced medicine for many years. experienced specialist, and you, with all due respect, do not seem to fit the bill."
"Xiang Shen." Mr. Jian finally spoke, with an extremely majestic voice, "Don't go too far."
"On the contrary, I think it's reasonable for me to ask." Jian Xiangshen slightly raised his voice, "You are my father, and I need to be responsible to you and to the entire Jian family. Should I let such an obviously unqualified Is it not too much for those who stay here and ignore it?"
Instead, she continued to look at Chi Qiaoqi, and said slowly, "I'm right, Miss Chi."
Chi Qiaoqi pursed his lips and looked down at the moxa sticks in the moxibustion box lightly.It was almost burnt out, but it seemed to be thicker than the smoke at any moment, so straight that people didn't want to open their eyes.
There was nowhere to hide from the doubts and hostility that hit her face, but she didn't know the reason.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi didn't look at Jian Yanzuo or any of Mr. Jian.Instead, without fear, he looked again at Jian Xiangshen who was still waiting for her answer without giving in.
"Mr. Jian, if you insist on judging a doctor's ability by his or her rank and age, maybe I'm not the right person for this job according to you." Chi Qiaoqi had a well-preserved smile, as if he was talking about a sparse The usual story, without the slightest anger, "But, what you may not know is that I received a very complete training in Australia. When my classmates in the same grade were still in the third year of university, I had completely transferred to internal medicine. , surgery, emergency and night shifts, and have managed all wards including oncology, rehabilitation, elderly, and extraskeletal. In terms of age, maybe I am indeed a little young. But in terms of qualifications, you really have no position to criticize my ability.”
After a pause, facing Jian Xiangshen's already slightly darkened face, he added, "Besides, I think you also know that family doctors don't need to be on the operating table, and unfortunately, no matter in During my school study or my internship in the hospital, my two subjects of first aid and health care have always been full marks."
A speech, gentle and powerful but neither humble nor overbearing.A decent and appropriate smile, but it has been maintained.
After saying this, Chi Qiaoqi didn't think about staying any longer.She could have chosen to swallow her anger and wait for either Jian Yiwei or Jian Yanzuo to explain or defend her, but she didn't.
Waiting was not something she was willing to do.Although she doesn't have many things, this may be the only persistence she can keep.Even if this was the last word she said at Jane's house, she hoped that she could leave with a not humble attitude.
What Chi Qiaoqi didn't expect was that after Jian Xiang gave a ambiguous smile, she didn't continue to insist on not giving an inch.Instead, he changed his previous aggressive attitude and applauded Jian Yanzuo, "I said that the person Yan Zuo is looking for is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Now it seems that it is so."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Chi Qiaoqi, heard the voice of the yin and yang praise.Maybe it was just implied, but the current situation can be called explicit.
It turned out that the ulterior motives had never been with her.Chi Qiaoqi frowned slightly, regretting his impulsiveness.Forgive her for being slow, she didn't think about the meaning behind Jane Xiangshen's words from the beginning to the end.
She had inexplicable Jane Xiangshen's hostility towards her, and always thought that she had offended him, but she never thought that although the direction of the hostility was directed at her, the point of attack was her back.And what made her feel even more disturbed was that after those words just now, she had personally placed Jian Yanzuo in a really awkward position, just because of her blind and straightforwardness.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi warned himself not to look at Jian Yanzuo in any way.She has pushed him to the edge of the cliff, and she can't let him fall into a situation where he cannot be redeemed.Though not intentional, negligence can be just as deadly.
She should have thought that a big family like Jane's should not be innocent.Even if it is an outsider, every word and deed will still affect every bit of the surrounding.What's more, she was in a very delicate position indeed.
What reassured Chi Qiaoqi was Jian Yanzuo's extremely bland reaction, "Little uncle, I'm too pleased."
Then, as if nothing happened just now, he gently pulled the chair and offered to give up his seat, "Would you like to accompany Grandpa to the next game, little uncle?"
Jian Xiangshen snorted softly, and said in a rather unkind tone, "I'll let it go, you're better at flattery."
In one word, the meaning of irony is greater than that of sarcasm.And Jian Yanzuo didn't seem to understand, sat down again, held the piece with one hand, concentrated all his energy on the chess game, and continued steadily.
In the whole room, it seemed that only the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard was left, which was light and crisp, and it was not affected at all.
Chi Qiaoqi finished everything quickly. The next second after packing up his things, Jian Yanzuo, who had been immersed in the chessboard, raised his head slightly, "Go out and wait for me."
Chi Qiaoqi nodded, gathered his things together and walked out. When he left, he was still accompanied by Jian Xiangshen's dark eyes.
How should I describe that kind of depressing probing, like a wild wolf that has been hiding in the depths, its body hidden in the grass, no flaws can be seen, but its eyes are so eager and arrogant, desperate.
Among all the animals in the world, Chi Qiaoqi thought the wolf was the scariest.It is an animal that knows how to wait, hide, accumulate, and counterattack.Behind the seemingly careless appearance, it seems to be preparing for the end all the time.
In particular, wolves often like to hide behind their prey.And the dark place is more suitable for breeding conspiracy.
Outside, Mama Feng prepared scented tea for Chi Qiaoqi as usual. In the plain white cup, small marigolds were safely in bloom, rippling brightly.The sun-like color seems to indirectly smudge the surrounding air.In the peaceful scenery, Chi Qiaoqi suddenly felt dizzy.
Sit down with the handle of the chair, and barely sit up straight.No matter how calm you are, the surrounding scenery has become too hazy.
Mama Feng saw it, her eyes were full of concern, "Miss Chi is not feeling well?"
Chi Qiaoqi only felt that the general outline of Feng Ma's face could still be seen clearly, but the details such as the nose and eyes were blurred to the point of distortion.In the blink of an eye, the dizziness became more obvious.
With a forced smile, Chi Qiaoqi tried hard to make all his movements normal, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired after sitting in it for a long time."
"Being a doctor is really hard." Feng's mother didn't pursue it any further, her voice was a little bit more pity, "Miss Chi, sit here for a while, I'll go and serve some refreshments to my husband and the others."
Taking advantage of Feng's mother leaving, Chi Qiaoqi knocked out two pills from the medicine bottle she carried with her, and swallowed them with scented tea. The slightly bitter echoes of the medicine and scented tea finally brought back some reassuring taste .
Chi Qiaoqi put his hands on his cheeks and closed his eyes gently, unable to restrain his powerlessness.
I haven't been resting very well recently, I have light sleep and often suffer from insomnia.Repeatedly, can't find the reason.Last night's situation was even worse. I swallowed six Valium tablets in a row, but I still didn't feel drowsy.After repeated restraint, he did not continue to swallow the remaining half of the bottle.
Thinking back, the most peaceful sleep recently was the night in New York, when Yan Cha slept on the next bed, and the gentle breath brought her into the dream all the way.Such stability, more and more forgotten.
As the footsteps approached, Chi Qiaoqi opened his eyes without leaving a trace, and gently took a sip of scented tea from his teacup. Everything that caught his eyes was much better.
It was still Mama Feng, who came forward to refill Chi Qiaoqi's tea, warm and hot, "Miss Chi has to wait a little longer, sir and the young master will start a new game of chess."
Chi Qiaoqi didn't comment, but was still surprised.Jian Yanzuo and Mr. Jian's game of chess has always been a game, no matter what she saw with her own eyes or in Feng Ma's description.Not in a hurry, but with their own styles.However, even if he was in high spirits, he never started the second game.Generally, after a game is over, the chess game is cleaned up, and then it is over.
Today, it seems, something is different.What surprised Chi Qiaoqi was that there was more than one game in the continuation of the game.
I can't remember how many cups of tea I drank, and I almost finished the refreshments served by Mama Feng, and a few hours passed, but I still couldn't see the mess inside.Mama Feng went in and out many times, refilling tea and delivering refreshments, and when she came out, her expression became darker each time.In the end, he really had nothing to explain to Chi Qiaoqi, so he had to continue to refill Chi Qiaoqi's tea frequently.
In the end, it was Jian Xiangshen's departure that broke all the balance.Alone, he came out of the room with no shadow on his face, but smiled and said goodbye to Chi Qiaoqi and Mama Feng.I can't see what happened in the previous period of time.
Chi Qiaoqi responded politely, nodded, and said goodbye, everything was very normal.It can't be seen that the two people were facing each other before.
The coat that Jian Xiangshen wore was placed in a separate cloakroom. Mama Feng went to pick it up after explaining briefly to Jian Xiangshen. After going back and forth, she unexpectedly gave Chi Qiaoqi and Jian Xiangshen a little time.
During this short period of time, Jian Xiangshen just leaned into Chi Qiaoqi's ear lightly, seemingly without breath, but quietly left a meaningful sentence, "Little girl, trust me, leave Jianyan alone." Farther to the left."
Mantra-like, slow and muffled.
At this moment, Chi Qiaoqi didn't move a bit, nor said a word, just looked straight at Jian Xiangshen's face from near to far, and gradually smiled.
She felt the corners of her mouth turned up, and heard her voice without the slightest ups and downs, "Thank you."
Just as Chi Qiaoqi finished speaking, Mother Feng had already brought the clothes, walked closer, and handed them to Jian Xiangshen, "Young master, go slowly."
Jane took it from Xiangshen without any extra words, put on her coat seriously, and then stepped out of the threshold of the main house.
Chi Qiaoqi had been watching Jian Xiangshen's figure disappear from sight for a long time, and the feeling of being oppressed finally gradually eased.
"Master Xiang Shen's temper is not very good. Don't take what Miss Chi said to you." Mother Feng smiled and stood beside Chi Qiaoqi, very concerned, "He is the youngest son of Mr. He has always been with everyone. I grew up caring, so it's normal to have a bad temper."
"I'm fine." Chi Qiaoqi could clearly feel Mama Feng's concern, not obvious, but very sincere, "Thank you."
Mama Feng smiled and shook her head, as an answer to Chi Qiaoqi's clear thanks.
After a pause, he changed the subject, "Since Master Juwen passed away, my husband has changed a lot. Every time Master Xiangshen came, he couldn't talk for too long. Gradually, Master Xiangshen came less often. .”
Chi Qiaoqi didn't know what Feng Ma wanted to express, so he nodded slightly without saying anything to agree.
"Since the young master came back to the master, the master's mood has improved a little bit." Feng Ma's tone was a little slow, inadvertently sad, "Perhaps it is because this kind of tacit understanding of mutual dependence cannot be inserted, and the relationship between the young master Xiang Shen and the young master The attitude has not been very good.”
Feng Ma's words didn't say what was necessary, but Chi Qiaoqi could read the rest.The ones just now were not accidental.
"Young master is very lonely." Mama Feng suddenly looked at Chi Qiaoqi, serious and focused, "He has been on the road alone for so many years."
After saying this, Mama Feng didn't continue, but just looked at Chi Qiaoqi with complicated eyes, showing some love, hope, worry, and maybe something else that Chi Qiaoqi couldn't understand.
At that moment, Chi Qiaoqi had some uncontrollable subconsciousness, "Why did you tell me this?"
The next moment, Mama Feng's knowing smile reappeared, and her words were soft enough to touch her heart, "I can see that you are the most suitable person to be by Young Master's side."
