It's hard to be a mother after rebirth

Chapter 38

To Lin Shu's four words, Li Shao'an also replied four words: "Whimsical."

"I'm not whimsical, don't you want to break off the engagement?" Lin Shu sat down again, the heat in his eyes could almost burn people.

This is very attractive. Li Shaoan cannot deny that he and Lin Shu also hope to dissolve the engagement, but this is obviously unrealistic.

"What happened to make you think so suddenly?" Li Shaoan intuitively thought that it was the appearance of that person just now that made Lin Shu think this way.

He guessed right, it was indeed because of what Nick told her that made her make such a decision.

The man she loved deeply was fighting for the family property, but was injured because of a miscalculation, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

But at this very moment, she wants to pretend to date a man she doesn't love. She can't appear there, and she can't even ask about her lover's life or death.

She wants to break off the engagement, appear by Kano's side in a fair manner, and do what she wants to do in a fair manner.

And this is only the first step.

"Lin Shu, don't be too impulsive. You should know what it means if you break off the engagement." Li Shaoan has a deep shadow on the crime he suffered when he proposed to break off the engagement when he was a child. If it weren't for this, he would not have proposed to marry on his own initiative.

"I know." Lin Shu replied.

Back then, both of them proposed to dissolve their engagement. Li Shaoan was locked in a dark room, and after she was kidnapped and even implicated Qiao Jingyao, her parents canceled all her cash and kicked her out of the house.

In two days, she returned home by herself, knelt down to admit her mistake, and begged them not to dissolve the engagement.

She still dare not recall the life of those two days.

But it's different now, even if she loses everything, she still has her own abilities and brains, she can live on her own, if not here, go to other places.

She will never starve herself to death.

The only thing is that I lost my hard-earned career and my parents who loved me but used the wrong way.

"Shao'an, you don't want to be monitored by your aunt anymore, don't you? Breaking off the engagement will cost us a lot, but the freedom we get can't be bought back with those." Lin Shu lobbied Li Shaoan.

However, Li Shaoan's answer was "no".

"It took me a lot of hard work to stabilize Lihai. I can't lose him because of this." Li Shaoan still remembers that when he first took over, he was looked down upon by everyone. He was not as smart as his elder brother, so he could only spend more time on Familiar with the business.

Marriage doesn't matter to him, but Lihai is his passion.

"So you mean for Li Hai, you don't need Jing Yao?" Once Lin Shu made up his mind, he would not let it go.

She really had enough of such days, even going abroad to meet Kano had to borrow the name of a business trip, what could be worse than this.

Li Shaoan hesitated for a moment when he heard Qiao Jingyao's name, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."

Lin Shu frowned.

Maybe she was thinking too simply, thinking that Li Shaoan's liking for Qiao Jingyao should at least give her something, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

"In that case, then I propose unilaterally, so it has nothing to do with you." Only if she proposes, the difficulty will be doubled, but it does not hinder her determination.

Li Shaoan looked at her noncommittally: "Are you really willing to give up everything for that person?"

"Why don't you want to?" Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and asked back, "I love him, so naturally I'm willing to give up some unimportant things for him."

Li Shaoan shook his head slightly disapproving.

"Why don't you ask him to give up?" Understanding Li Shaoan's expression, Lin Shu didn't look mocking, but worried, "I will only lose my career and money if I give up, but if he gives up, he will lose his life."

It's not that Kano didn't give up, he also decided to quit for her back then, but as a result, the people chasing and killing came in droves, and even almost killed her.

Kano's family is different from them, it is a crazy group, and troubles like theirs just for formal marriage are not worth mentioning to Kano.

He seemed to understand Lin Shu's determination. Although Li Shao'an disagreed, his many years of friends made him unable to say anything against him.

"I wish you success." All Li Shaoan could do was wish him well.

Lin Shu smiled slightly, she didn't blame Li Shaoan for withdrawing, everyone's choice is different, she can't force everyone to give everything for a relationship that seems to have no future.

All she can do for Kano is stand bravely by his side, no matter what.

Saying goodbye to Li Shaoan, Lin Shu didn't go home.

"Miss Qiao, I'm in a bad mood, can you chat with me?" She chose to call.

Qiao Jingyao was very bored in the hotel, when Lin Shu called, she agreed without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Mother Qiao stopped Qiao Jingyao who was about to go out.

Qiao Jingyao looked at Qiao's mother with aggrieved face, why she was "grounded" for a day.

It started when she arrived at the hospital late seven days ago.

Because of her late arrival, the three elders didn't give her a good look, and Liang Qiulin also looked a little embarrassed.

Later, I found an opportunity to pull Liang Qiulin out to ask about it, only to find out that Mrs. Liang had turned her back temporarily. Although she didn't mention her grandson or her son's lover outside, she told her about her one-night stand. Shake it out.

Well, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother immediately gave their daughter the biggest blank stare at her lack of self-love and ignorance.

What can she say?And then ran in front of them and said that your daughter's one-night stand was also forced by her husband?No wonder they believe it.

So she didn't say a word.

As a result, Mother Qiao took her directly to a hotel.

Torture to extract a confession.

"Mom, my friend is looking for me, so I will go out for a while." Qiao Jingyao compared the distance with her fingers to show that the time she went out was really very short.

"Then you can go out after explaining the reason of the matter." Qiao's mother blocked the way and looked her daughter up and down, "Why do I think you have a lot of things to hide from me and your father?"

"No, no, no." Qiao Jingyao waved her hands again and again, "I really have nothing to hide from you. I went out to meet a girl. Really, she is very capable. Let me chat with her to enhance our relationship. This will be beneficial to my future work. help."

When Qiao's mother heard that her daughter seemed to be mainly working again, she became furious, poked her on the forehead with her hand, and said, "How can you use this child? Marrying a husband and raising children is not enough. , I have to do half of it. Qiu Lin can't afford to support you, do you need you to work all day long and ignore your husband?"

Qiao Jingyao touched her forehead that hurt from being poked: "How can you say that, women can't rely on men alone, what's the use of being a yellow-faced woman."

Qiao's father laughed from the side: "You girl, remember what your mother said."

Qiao's mother glared at her wife, and then looked at Qiao Jingyao with hatred: "You, mother regrets teaching you like this. Look at what you have done for your work. If Qiu Lin didn't love you, you thought Does he really not mind at all?"

The more Qiao Jingyao listened, the more irritable she became.

She seldom disobeys her elders, but everyone has a rebellious period, and her rebellious period may come very late, so late that if she doesn't possess someone else's body, she can't find it.

"I know what I'm doing. If you think I'm an adult who can't handle your own problems, how can you handle them better as a bystander?" Qiao Jingyao took the bag and yelled at Qiao's mother, " I respect you, if you don’t let me go out these few days, I will be obedient and not take a step here. But I also hope that you will respect me and stop interfering in my current life.”

Qiao's mother obviously didn't think her daughter would contradict her like this. Even Qiao's father was stunned, and severely criticized: "How do you talk about this child? Your mother also cares about you. How can you be so big or small?"

Qiao Jingyao had a lot of things to say in her heart, so she endured and endured with her back to the two old people, so she didn't tell the truth.

She opened the door and left the hotel without looking back.

"What's the matter? This is, ah, what's the matter with this child?" Staring blankly at the closed door, Qiao's mother turned her head to ask her wife in disbelief, with tears in her eyes, "Jing Yao never Talk to us like that."

"It's okay, it's okay, the child may be upset by being locked up." Father Qiao couldn't understand his daughter's actions, but now he could only comfort his crying wife.

After Qiao Jingyao walked out, she also realized that she had disrespected the old man just now.

But going back now can't solve the fundamental problem. If she can, she doesn't want to be this unfilial daughter at all.

Without stopping, Qiao Jingyao took a taxi and rushed to the place Lin Shu said.

Once inside, she saw Lin Shu drinking.

Qiao Jingyao went up to snatch the wine bottle, looked at the strength written on it, and returned it to Lin Shu: "The strength is not high, keep drinking, it just doesn't look good."

Lin Shu was holding the wine bottle, smiling calmly at the corner of his lips, but Qiao Jingyao didn't see it, and when he looked up again, there was only drunkenness in his eyes: "You came too late."

"Wow, you can get so drunk with 8% wine, how much did you drink?" Qiao Jingyao counted the time she came here with her fingers, it didn't take long, it was only an hour, and she was drunk in an hour, she clearly remembered Lin Shu drinks quite well.

Lin Shu also counted with his fingers, and finally shook his head: "I don't remember clearly."

Qiao Jingyao didn't know why Lin Shu got drunk so badly, and after much deliberation, she could only think of one reason.

She sat in the empty seat next to her and asked in a low voice, "Are you broken in love?"

Otherwise, how do you say that if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk? It must be because you have something on your mind that you get drunk very quickly.

Lin Shu shook his head, with tears slowly filling his eyes: "I can't save him, I can't even do such a small thing as going to him, I miss him so much."

Qiao Jingyao knew who Lin Shu was talking about, the man named Kano.

She had never met that person, but she had heard his voice, not standard Chinese, but very polite.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Shu Shu, don't cry, I will help you if there is anything I can do for you." In Qiao Jingyao's memory, Lin Shu was strong and brave. Now that he cried like this for that Kano, I can imagine And know how much she loves him.

"Are you really willing to help me?" Lin Shu wiped away tears, not confused by her address.

Qiao Jingyao nodded decisively.

"I want to break off the engagement with Li Shaoan, but he doesn't agree." Lin Shu confessed what he said when he met Li Shaoan before, "I don't blame him, but I need his support."

Qiao Jingyao somewhat understood the purpose of Lin Shu's visit to her, but she still asked with certainty, "Do you want me to go to him and get him to agree to dissolve the engagement?"

But Lin Shu shook his head: "No, I know he won't agree. I ask you to help me so that he doesn't mention marriage."

"Married?" Qiao Jingyao's eyes were full of astonishment, "Didn't he say he liked Qiao Jingyao, no, didn't he say he liked me?"

The "drunk" Lin Shu didn't bother with Qiao Jingyao's words, but took another sip of wine and explained, "He likes you, but you didn't give him a chance, and he doesn't want to be persecuted by his family anymore. , the problem can only be solved by fulfilling the marriage contract in advance."

Qiao Jingyao understood.

Li Shaoan wants to fulfill this marriage contract, because he has no feelings, so as long as it is a formal marriage, his parents' wish can be fulfilled and he can truly have his own power, but Lin Shu is unwilling, and the unmarried couple who pretend to be loving have disagreements.

"But I really don't like him." Qiao Jingyao lowered her head, unwilling in every possible way.

She has been acting in Liang's family for a long time, and she really doesn't want to act in Li Shaoan's place again. She is not an actor, so maybe someone will expose her tricks one day, and she won't get applause at that time.

Of course Lin Shu knew that she didn't like Li Shaoan, but for now, only Qiao Jingyao could control Li Shaoan's heart.

"You don't need to really like him, and you don't need to make any promises to him. Just be kind to him. As long as he hesitates, I can definitely break off the engagement by myself." Lin Shu held Qiao Jingyao's hand and begged, "Help me, please?" , I really don’t want to bear such a marriage contract on my body anymore.”

Qiao Jingyao couldn't refuse Lin Shu, let alone such a humble plea.

Just as she was about to nod her head in agreement, a thought popped into her head - why did Lin Shu trust her so much?
Qiao Jingyao looked at Lin Shu with puzzled eyes, frowned slightly, blinked her eyes, and gradually pursed her lips.

Lin Shu was too familiar with Qiao Jingyao's expression. She hiccupped abruptly, looked back at her with misty eyes, reached out to touch her face, and said with infinite nostalgia: "It would be great if she was still here, she It can definitely help me."

"Actually, I am Jing Yao." Qiao Jingyao finished speaking every word, and looked at Lin Shu's expression without blinking.

It's a pity that Lin Shu's drunken eyes were hazy, he didn't react at all, and finally fell down on the table with a thud.
