It's hard to be a mother after rebirth

Chapter 121 Everything Stolen

"why?"

"This is my business, please forgive me, I can't tell you."

Qiao Jingyao curled her lips: "Everyone has secrets in their hearts, and then they become a big family."

Father Qiao couldn't help frowning: "Miss Qiao, I think you have been with my daughter for too long. As the assistant to the president of Lihai Group, it is not a good habit to break the casserole and ask the end."

Qiao Jingyao has never taken her position as "President Assistant" seriously, but now it seems that in the eyes of most people, including her father, this assistant is a very prominent existence.

In contrast, I was really useless.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." Qiao Jingyao got a guarantee from her father, and she finally felt at ease.

She walked to the door and turned back. She stepped up to Father Qiao and hugged him across the table.

Father Qiao was taken aback.

"I wish you and Mrs. Qiao a happy new year and good health!" Qiao Jingyao let go of her arms after saying her blessings, and jumped out of the office.

Father Qiao looked at the door suspiciously, and it took him a while to recover.

Qiao Jingyao always does things according to her own preferences, and she doesn't care whether her hugging behavior is appropriate or not, as long as she feels good, she will do it.

"Bye, Judy, Happy New Year." Qiao Jingyao greeted the oncoming secretary happily.

Chairman Qiao's chief secretary, Judy, looked at Qiao Jingyao in surprise, puzzled, she probably had never met this person, and she would not reveal her name, how did she know?
"Why didn't you leave?" The middle-aged man who was following Judy also followed her gaze and glanced at Qiao Jingyao who entered the elevator, not recognizing him at all.

"Excuse me, please come this way." Judy immediately returned to her senses, smiled apologetically, and led the people to the door of Qiao's father's office, "Chairman, the Mr. Yu who made an appointment with you is here."

The secretary opened the door and let the Mr. Yu who came after him invite him in, and then poured a cup of coffee and sent it inside. Just as he was back in his office to deal with business, the chairman's call came.

"Help me cancel all the appointments for this afternoon. I have to go out for a while. I won't attend the banquet tonight." Father Qiao hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Judy accurately conveyed Chairman Joe's opinion, thinking that after finishing the work in the afternoon, he will officially have a holiday. He doesn't know where the chairman is going in such a hurry.

The Mr. Yu that Qiao's father asked to meet was actually someone from the investigation company. He entrusted them to find Jing Yao some time ago, and later entrusted them to find his younger brother.

Because this company does a good job of privacy, even if the other party is directly asked to come to the company to find him, no one will know who the other party is.

Mr. Yu didn't find Qiao Jingyao this time, but Qiao Zhizhong, Qiao's father's younger brother.

Qiao Zhizhong is nine years younger than his elder brother, and two years younger than his sister-in-law. Since committing a crime, he hasn't had much contact with his family, and even cut off all contact after he was released from prison. As the eldest brother, Qiao Zhibai doesn't know this at all. What the hell is my brother, who is nine years younger than me, doing.

The people who investigated the company said that it was not easy to find, but it was easier than finding Qiao Jingyao.

According to the information given by Mr. Yu, he found a private house. Halfway through the drive, the car couldn't get in - the alley was too narrow, and basically cars with more than three wheels couldn't get in.

Father Qiao could only park the car far away and walk in.

The ground is wet. I don’t know if it’s the waste water that hasn’t been cleaned up after snowfall or just dumped on the spot. In winter, the garbage scattered on the ground that hasn’t had time to be disposed of doesn’t emit such a disgusting smell, but the feeling of stepping on it is really irritating. Very uncomfortable.

The surrounding sound insulation is obviously not good enough. The three or four storey house, the sound of talking, TV, and screaming groans coming from inside, all came into Father Qiao's ears in a disorderly manner. inside.

He walked out from the alley, turned a few more corners according to the map, and finally stood still outside a mottled building.

The big rusty iron gate was open, and people in the yard were cooking in twos and threes. When they saw him coming in, they couldn't help but stop their movements, and looked at Father Qiao who was out of place in novelty.

Father Qiao nodded politely to those who looked at him, then found the stairs, and walked up carefully.

The people downstairs were talking in dialect, as if guessing who the other party was looking for.

The people who investigated the company were very attentive, and even found out which room Qiao Zhizhong lived in.

Father Qiao stood in the second room on the left hand side of the stairs on the second floor, reached out and knocked on the wooden door that looked like it was about to break.

"Who, you don't sleep early in the morning, what a fart!" There was an angry voice from inside, with a big yawn, and it took a while to walk over with slippers rustling.

Father Qiao withdrew his hand and stood upright, waiting for the people inside to open the door.

Qiao Zhizhong yawned and opened the door, leaning on the edge of the door with one hand, smacking his lips, tilting his head and looking up and down at the well-dressed Qiao Zhibai.

"Who are you?" He looked at each other impatiently.

Qiao Zhizhong thought about many scenes of brothers meeting each other, but he never imagined that his younger brother would lead such a life after he was released from prison.

Unshaven, with a haggard face, the collar of the sweater under the black cotton coat seemed to be unthreaded, the baggy cotton trousers were obviously ill-fitting, but he wore a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

"Crazy!" Qiao Zhizhong saw that the other party just couldn't stop looking at him and didn't speak, so he couldn't help but lose his temper, "If you don't go to sleep early in the morning, why don't you run to the door and stand blindly? Rich people have a lot of problems!"

He was about to close the door and continue to sleep with his big head, but the door was propped up.

"Second brother, it's me. I'm your elder brother, Qiao Zhibai." Father Qiao thought that after seeing his younger brother, he would beat him for the mistakes he made back then, but now it seems that he is no matter what. I can't do anything.

Qiao Zhizhong was stunned, looked at the other person carefully as if looking at a monster, and finally recognized him: "So it's you."

He let go of the doorknob, didn't tell people to come in or drive them away, went back into the room by himself, and climbed onto the bed again.

Father Qiao walked in with a sigh and closed the door for him.

"What's the point of condescending to your honor." Qiao Zhizhong lazily wrapped himself in the quilt, squinting at his elder brother.

"Why don't you go home after you get out of prison? You know how long I've been looking for you." Father Qiao looked around. The room was less than ten square meters, with a small bathroom, and clothes were scattered everywhere.

Qiao Zhizhong laughed: "I said being a leader in the company is not enough, but now you have to educate me?"

Father Qiao said, "I don't want to educate you, I just care about you."

Qiao Zhizhong sneered: "Forget it, the entire Qiao family is yours, what's the point of you doing this hypocritically, anyway, your parents are dead, so you don't need to act for others."

"That's how you see me?" Qiao Zhibai was surprised.

"What do you think I think of you?" Qiao Zhizhong looked him up and down, "Look at you now, and then look at me now, what do you want, me? I have no money, no power, and I have been in prison. To solve my physical needs, I can only find those old and ugly prostitutes. What do you think I should think of you?"

Qiao Zhibai has no idea that his brother treats him like this.

The younger brother is young, so he has been cared for by his parents since he was born, and his parents also taught him to take good care of his younger brother, so as long as it is what his younger brother wants, he almost never grabs it.

But in the end, he was charged with hypocrisy.

Qiao Zhibai took a deep breath: "I'm not here today to discuss this with you. First, I want to take you home, and second, I want to ask you some questions."

"Ask, I can answer you if I'm in a good mood." Qiao Zhizhong replied.

"Put on your clothes first, let's go out and talk." Qiao Zhibai had already experienced the sound insulation effect here, and he was resolutely unwilling to speak out about his family's affairs on this occasion.

"Tsk, there are so many things!" Qiao Zhizhong got up from the bed despite his disdain, and changed into a pair of gray sneakers to make it ready, "Let's go, I'll go back sooner Go to sleep at home."

Qiao Zhibai saw it and didn't say anything.

Qiao Zhizhong closed the door casually without even locking it. He went downstairs and greeted the people downstairs: "It's been such an early meal. I'm hungry after the smell."

Qiao Zhibai walked behind, neither stopping nor questioning his younger brother's behavior.

"My car is parked outside, let's go out and talk." Walking out of the alley, Qiao Zhibai said.

Qiao Zhizhong was so impatient that he followed his elder brother to the parking lot cursing.

Although it is possible to park, it is not a special place for parking. As soon as the two of them arrived at the place, Qiao Zhizhong laughed loudly: "Hey, who is so dexterous, and the Mercedes-Benz is also rowed. Hey, there must be people who row cars." Don't come out, it costs hundreds of thousands."

Someone scratched a long mark on the door of the car. It looked like it was scratched with a sharp object. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Qiao Zhizhong leaned forward and backward with a smile, but his elder brother just glanced at him lightly, without expressing any opinion, as if he was not driving his own car.

"Let's go." He opened the co-pilot's seat and let Qiao Zhizhong sit in, before he got into the driver's seat.

Qiao Zhibai took his younger brother out, first took him to the bathing center, Qiao Zhizhong was happy to be invited, and enjoyed it with peace of mind.While he was washing, Qiao Zhibai went to the mall to buy a suit of clothes himself.

When he came out again, the sloppy Qiao Zhizhong in the private house disappeared, and the handsome second son of the Qiao family appeared in front of everyone again.

Qiao Zhizhong pulled the scarf: "Damn, I'm not used to wearing these things for a long time."

Qiao Zhibai took his brother to the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered a lot of dishes that Qiao Zhizhong liked in his memory.

"Tell me, if you don't have anything to do, what else can you get from me?" In the eyes of the brothers, all Qiao Zhibai's overtures have a purpose.

Qiao Zhibai did this purposefully, besides making his younger brother look like a human being, he also wanted to know about the past.

"My parents are gone, and now it's just us two brothers, so I'll just say it straight." Qiao Zhibai said, "Since you liked her back then, why didn't you tell me, why did you use such despicable means to hurt someone you like? woman?"
