It's hard to be a mother after rebirth

Chapter 180 After Losing His Father
Losing her soul is exactly the portrayal of Qiao Jingyao now.

Coming out of the hospital, she staggered and stumbled.

It was getting late, and Qiao Jingyao had nowhere to go.

Yuan Tianyan's attitude made her feel wronged. She was never that kind of person, but the person she loved the most didn't choose to believe her.

Qiao Jingyao laughed bitterly, surprised that she didn't cry.

Whether her heart became numb or strong, she didn't know.

I don't know when the sky was drizzling with drizzle, and it was already the beginning of spring, but the weather didn't get much warmer.

Qiao Jingyao stood in the middle of the street, watching the hurried figures of pedestrians.

What was she doing a year ago today?Accompanied by her parents, she goes to school and plays, except that she has no loved ones, she is carefree.

now……

Qiao Jingyao took a deep breath, raised her legs and walked towards home.

It wasn't raining heavily, but it wasn't too comfortable when it fell on the face. Occasionally, people passing by complained about the terrible weather, and there were also people rushing to take a taxi to fight for an empty car that was hard to come by.

Qiao Jingyao didn't walk fast. It was a very long journey home from this remote place, but she didn't want to take a taxi, let alone take a bus. She even wondered why Yuan Tianyan chose to live in such a place. And why choose a house for their nest in a place with high housing prices.

Perhaps, the breakup back then not only made her feel lost, but also made Yuan Tianyan feel sad.

She took out her mobile phone, and the address book inside contained the numbers of the people she was most familiar with, but now she was alone and didn't know who to call.

Qiao Jingyao started to run, not fast, as if she was exercising in the morning, adjusting her breathing.

Only in this way can she forget those heart-wrenching things.

She didn't stop until she couldn't move her legs.

Qiao Jingyao didn't know the way very well. The only thing she remembered was what Lin Shu once said, take the straight road and go all the way to the dark, and you can always see the light.

Finally, Qiao Jingyao saw a familiar road sign. Turn left at the intersection ahead and walk for about 10 minutes to go home - Qiao's house.

She didn't dare to contact Lin Shu, so she didn't dare to go to Kewan, and the apartment that Liang Qiulin gave his wife didn't belong to her either.

Only the Qiao family, although she has accepted that she is not the daughter of her parents, it is the place where she has lived for 23 years after all.

Even if she couldn't go in, she still wanted to see it.

Probably because of the rain, there were fewer reporters waiting in front of Qiao's house, and more reporters were already squatting in the cars. Except for the cars parked on the side of the road, there was no one to see.

Qiao Jingyao's breathing was rapid, as if she was a little too timid.

She didn't bother to go up and look at the extra cars around, but the people in the car all saw Qiao Jingyao appearing here at this moment.

Who is this woman?Why are you here?Why are you looking at the door with such sad eyes?Why is this woman so familiar?
When one question after another was filtering through the minds of many reporters, someone finally remembered—isn’t this the nude photo heroine on the Internet?

Although the woman with her eyes open in the rain outside—maybe it's a bit wrong to say that, but more people realize that she is indeed the closed-eyed woman who has been talked about on the Internet.

And there was news not long ago that this woman was the daughter of Qiao's family.

Big news!

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, although they didn't get out of the car, they kept taking pictures of each other through the glass.

Qiao Jingyao's attention was all on the doorbell at the door of her house, and she didn't even know that she was being photographed.

She stepped forward, her fingers resting on the doorbell, unable to press it for a long time.

Mother doesn't love her anymore, can she still go in?
Just as she mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell, the sound of a car approaching came from behind her.

Qiao Jingyao turned around, looking forward to seeing her father.

The other party's car stopped at the gate, and three men got out of the car, Qiao Jingyao didn't recognize them.

One of the middle-aged men walked steadily and had sharp eyes. He just glanced at Qiao Jingyao who was standing at the gate lightly and then withdrew his gaze.

Another man came over and rang the doorbell.

A voice of inquiry soon came from inside.

The other party said: "We are from the Criminal Investigation Team of Nancheng Branch. Is Mrs. Qiao at home? We have something to talk to her about."

Criminal investigation team?
Qiao Jingyao was surprised, why did the criminal investigation team come to the house?
The door was opened immediately, and it seemed that the people inside were also surprised by the arrival of the other party.

People from the criminal investigation team were welcomed in, but Qiao Jingyao didn't dare to follow.

She stood at the door, waiting for the other party to come out, anxious and restless.

The rain didn't stop. Although it wasn't heavy, it made Qiao Jingyao shiver who had stood outside for a long time.

A reporter felt compassionate, took an umbrella from the car, and handed it to Qiao Jingyao who insisted on standing outside, also wanting to collect some information by the way.

"Here, it's raining in spring, and it's raining endlessly. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Qiao Jingyao took it gratefully and thanked the other party.

The reporter took advantage of the situation and asked: "Miss, do you know anyone from the Qiao family? Do you know who was in the car just now?"

If Qiao Jingyao used to be, she must have told the truth, but now she has a heart, she shook her head and said, "Just now I was thinking about something, and I didn't pay attention to what they said."

The reporter obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't force him to ask. He just sighed and said, "Mr. Qiao has been missing for a few days. I don't know if something really happened. What happened to Qiao's even affected the stock market. There is no explanation at all.”

Missing, yes, Dad has been missing since that day, never came home, never contacted her, no one knows where he is.

And the criminal investigation team that just entered...

Qiao Jingyao pressed her chest with her hands, feeling a little out of breath.

The door was opened suddenly, and Qiao Jingyao followed her eyes, but it was not the policeman who had just entered, but a servant she didn't know.

She didn't know her, but the reporters waiting around did. Several people got out of the car and hurried to the door, asking about the person who came out.

It turned out that the reporter had already bribed this servant with money, and would tell them as long as there was any news about Qiao's family, otherwise the news these days would be a big hit.

Qiao Jingyao didn't care whether the other party was bribed or not, she just wanted to know why the police went in.

"It was the criminal police who went in just now. They said that just two hours ago, someone called the police and said that a body was found in the green belt under the overpass. They just confirmed that it was Mr. Qiao who died. Mrs. Qiao fainted for two hours now. Back!" The person who came out broke the shocking news.

Qiao Jingyao suddenly felt powerless, almost fell down, and the umbrella fell to the ground, but now no one pays attention to her news.

Dad... died?
Qiao Jingyao took a few steps back in fear, feeling nauseated in her chest, as if she had been hit hard with a sap, and she became dizzy.

She staggered a few steps, tripped, and fell to the ground.

The muddy water soaked the clothes.

She tried to stand up, but couldn't.

"Father..." Qiao Jingyao opened her lips silently, her eyes blurred, and she passed out completely.

The reporters were busy contacting the editor-in-chief. The news had to be sent out immediately. No one paid attention to a person who passed out by the side of the road, and no one cared about the woman who came out for some reason.

Until the reporters drove away one after another, leaving Qiao Jingyao alone in the rainy night, who had fainted.

The door of Qiao's house was closed again, and the servant who broke the news just glanced at the people on the ground indifferently, and closed the door completely without concern.

The rain fell silently, and the wind stirred the leaves on both sides.

After a while, the headlights of the car shone from a distance, and the car stopped about ten meters away from the gate. Li Shaoling got out of the car and walked to the person lying on the ground.

He quietly looked at the profile of the person on the ground, slowly bent down, and picked him up.

The black windbreaker was stained with muddy water, but Li Shaoling didn't care at all.

Putting the person into the seat carefully, fastening the seat belt, he started the car and left Qiao's house.

It was quiet again outside the gate, as if no one had ever been there.

Li Shaoling's appearance was not accidental. Like many reporters, he was also looking for Qiao Zhibai's whereabouts. Unfortunately, that person disappeared after handing over all the power of the company to Qiao Zhizhong. No one knew what happened to him.

This city is neither big nor small, and it is not so easy to find someone who deliberately conceals his whereabouts.

Li Shaoling could only arrange for people to squat near Qiao's house. When Qiao Jingyao appeared, his subordinates notified him immediately that he would come, but it was only because of Lin Shu's earlier threat and reminder.

Whether Qiao Jingyao is really related to that big shot is not sure yet, but at least until he is sure, he wants to keep this woman alive symbolically.

Li Shaoling brought Qiao Jingyao back to the previous apartment. He usually only stayed in the hotel. This place is basically equivalent to a warehouse, filled with various items. The number of times he came here was very few, and the only two times he brought Qiao Jingyao back.

Qiao Jingyao woke up not long after she was in the car, but she didn't speak.

When Li Shaoling pulled her out of the car, she got out of the car, and when he pulled her upstairs, she went upstairs. If he didn't move, Qiao Jingyao didn't even make a single extra movement.

Except for breathing and blinking occasionally, like a puppet.

Li Shaoling wanted to see if Qiao Jingyao really didn't react at all, so he took him to the bathroom with a half-smile, took off Qiao Jingyao's coat, shirt, trousers, and finally took off the bra and underwear together, Qiao Jingyao even He didn't even frown.

Li Shaoling finds it a little boring, it's no fun when a woman is as submissive as a corpse.

He carried her into the bathtub, and the warm water flooded Qiao Jingyao's body. She shrank her shoulders, not because she was unconscious of the outside world.

"I just received the news that Qiao Zhibai died, so you are sad?" Li Shaoling just stood outside the bathtub, looking down at Qiao Jingyao, with a firm tone.
