Chapter 71 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 70Next chapter: Chapter 72 When Xiao Jingqiao came out of this building, he saw Xiao Chengxiu not far away. He was angry and scared, and rushed forward. He really wanted to punch his elder brother, but just thinking about it, he suppressed his anger and said Xiao Chengxiu said: "Brother, are you still a man? You actually threatened me with Shen Lu?"

Xiao Chengxiu had no intention of quarreling with Xiao Jingqiao. He speculated that Sang Yao had already entered the house, so he turned and walked back.

Seeing that his elder brother ignored him, Xiao Jingqiao said loudly: "You are afraid, right? You are afraid that Sang Yao will come back to me again! Let me tell you, the relationship between me and Sang Yao for so many years is not one thing or two things. It can be wiped out, the only person she likes in her heart is me."

Such words are irrelevant to Xiao Chengxiu.

He believes that anyone with a brain can see that Xiao Jingqiao is hopeless and has no emotional responsibility at all. If Sang Yao is still willing to be with Xiao Jingqiao again, he has nothing to say, then she is not worthy of his affection anymore.

Isn't it unwise for a person who has struggled out of a pit of fire to jump into a pit of fire again?

He never liked anyone who was too stupid.

And he believed that Sang Yao was very smart. It was because of his intelligence that he was able to survive by cutting off his tail and cut off the carrion. Originally he thought he would have to spend a lot of effort to get the two of them to break off their engagement, but he didn't expect that Sang Yao was much more decisive and brave than he thought. He thought it would be very difficult for her to give up the relationship he had been in for so many years. , and once she has such determination and makes such a decision, she will never look back.

The reason why Xiao Jingqiao is forbidden to appear in front of Sang Yao is not because he is afraid that she will look back, but because he does not want to upset her.

Her life is slowly getting back on track from the shadow of breaking off her engagement, and she is slowly becoming happy. He didn't want her to be unhappy anymore.

Xiao Chengxiu's cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Sang Yao: "I'm home."

In the middle of the cold winter night, he clenched his cell phone and looked up at the sky. Tomorrow should be a good day. .

***

Xiao Jingqiao is not as popular in the company as before. The main reason is the incident between him and Sang Yao.

There is evidence of cheating, suspected domestic violence, and now the woman has taken the initiative to terminate the engagement. According to rumors, the woman and the man have been childhood sweethearts for many years...and the man is a rich and handsome man from a top wealthy family. If it wasn't unbearable, how could the woman's family easily Break off the engagement. The female colleagues in the company are very self-aware and know that they can't stand such people, so they all calm down.

It's just that everyone is still polite on the surface. Xiao Jingqiao himself is a person who doesn't have much awareness of other people's emotions and has little interest in observing them, so he doesn't know that apart from his status as Gao Fushuai, what other roles do he have within the Xiao family? The reviews are not very good.

He doesn't think much of the commissions and bonuses from the sales department. After all, the property and real estate in his own name have already made him stand at the top of the pyramid since he was born. He has a lot of free time at work, plus he is upset and anxious. He needed to find an outlet to vent, which led him to be very curious and concerned about the group of people following Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao. He also had connections in the circle. As long as he wanted to investigate this matter, he would be there in two or three days. got a result.

When he saw the message from his friend confirming that the person following the car was Zhou Qingyan, he felt bad. Why did Zhou Qingyan follow his eldest brother and Sang Yao? What does he want to do? Or what does he want to do to the Xiao family?

At the same time, Zhou Qingyan was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. He was very unlucky during this period. He heard that Xiao Chengxiu was investigating the supporters behind him. His supporters also heard about it, and those who supported him also heard about it. Although people want to get a share of this good drama of fighting for family property, they don’t want to confront Xiao Chengxiu directly. No one is willing to shoot themselves in the foot. Before he implemented this plan to attack the east and west, he also analyzed Xiao Chengxiu’s Character, he did this after he concluded that the other party would not care about this matter. Now the whole trend is wrong. Those who support him do not want to get a piece of the pie by then, but will get into trouble instead. There are already signs of Mingzhe quitting first. .

Seeing that Zhou Qingyan looked bad, Shen Lu made him a cup of hot tea, brought it to him, and said warmly: "What's wrong? You don't seem to be very happy lately?"

Zhou Qingyan held the cup of hot tea in his hand, and then He looked at Shen Lu and said in a low voice: "I am the only one who plots against others, and no one else plots against me. Anyway, I have nothing to begin with, and I don't care about losing anything anymore. Lu Lu, when I fight against Xiao Chengxiu, I'm going to kill the stone with an egg, but I I want to give it a try, are you willing to accompany me?"

Shen Lu was worried, but he knew that he couldn't change Zhou Qingyan's decision, so he could only say, "Just do whatever you want."

Zhou Qingyan felt comforted and thought about it. , and said to Shen Lu: "But there is something you have to do for me. You can test Xiao Jingqiao in the next two days and ask why he and Sang Yao broke off their engagement. You can even reveal it to him, just You heard a rumor that the relationship between Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao is abnormal... Look at his reaction.

"What, Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao?"

Zhou Qingyan smiled sarcastically. So I said that the inside of a wealthy family is very dirty. If Xiao Chengxiu wants to punish me like this, I am not a soft persimmon. I also want him to be involved in scandals. It just so happened that Xiao Jingqiao and Sang Yao just broke off their engagement not long ago, and now it is exposed. It's the best time."

Shen Lu looked at Zhou Qingyan with a hint of madness in her eyes, and she was very scared. She wanted to tell him that the matter would end here, and stop fighting or robbing. Don't go against the Xiao family. They went from having nothing to having a lot of assets in their name. If they go to another place or abroad, they can live a peaceful and happy life. But she knew that Zhou Qingyan would not give in.

***

Xiao Chengxiu is not free to make appointments with Sang Yao every day. He is still very busy with work, especially at the end of the year. There are dinner parties almost every day. Some of them he can refuse, and some cannot. On this day, he was going to attend a dinner party that he couldn't refuse. The only difference between now and before was that when he went out to eat before, he never paid attention to what was on the table. Now he might see Sang Yao at the dinner table. If she likes a dish, he will take photos of it and send it to her, asking her if she wants to eat it. If she eats it, he will ask the restaurant to make another one and send it to her.

Today was no exception. He remembered that she liked to eat the braised pork cooked by the chef at home. When he saw a dish of abalone braised pork on the dinner table, he once again faced the surprised attention of the people at the dinner table and took out his mobile phone to take a photo. A photo.

Xiao Chengxiu calmly sent this photo to Sang Yao and asked her: "I heard that the abalone braised pork is not bad. Do you want to eat it? I will ask the restaurant to make another one and pack it up for you later."

Dinner table Although everyone in the room was surprised and curious about Xiao Chengxiu's move, no one had the nerve to ask him. This kind of behavior of taking pictures of the dishes before eating... really doesn't match Mr. Xiao's style of painting.

Sang Yao hadn't had dinner when she received the news from Xiao Chengxiu. All she had for dinner these days was vegetable salad. Xiao's annual party will be held in a few days. She has even prepared the dress she will wear that day, but standing in front of the mirror, she feels that her face seems a little rounder. She has been too unrestrained this winter. I gained two or three pounds. If I don’t keep track, I might end up gaining ten pounds of fat over the course of a winter without even realizing it.

She packed her clothes and prepared to go to a gym nearby to exercise. She had just moved here some time ago, so she went to this gym to apply for a card and hired a personal trainer.

The cameras Xiao Chengxiu took pictures with came with his mobile phone, and he didn't know how to add filters. Under this kind of death lens, the plate of braised abalone meat he took was so attractive that you could smell it through the screen. An alluring scent.

Whether it is Sang Yao himself or the original owner, this slender figure is inherited by genes, not diet. In the past, Sang Yao talked about losing weight, but in fact it was just talk, and he did not eat at all when it was time to eat. Vaguely, go swimming after eating to burn calories and relieve guilt. Fortunately, she was young and had a fast metabolism. She did not gain weight by eating until she was full and then swimming.

After eating vegetable salad for several nights in a row, Sang Yao was really craving for braised pork.

But...

she replied with a firm attitude: "No, I want to lose weight."

Xiao Chengxiu lowered his head and typed to reply to her, "You are not fat."

Before this message was sent, someone at the dinner table was heard discussing this. One thing -

"Some people say that men are more difficult to do than business, and women are more difficult to deal with than Party A. I think this is really true." A boss, probably to liven up the atmosphere, took the initiative to start a conversation He joked, "The day before yesterday, my wife asked me if she was fat now. I said no, and she got angry again. She didn't know why she was angry. What was the point of her anger?" "

Isn't this difficult to understand? One of the female bosses in her forties said sharply: "To this question, if you answer that I like fat people, you are seeking death. If you answer that I like you if you are fat, you will want to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. If you answer that you are not fat, you will die." "Although you don't have to go to the hospital, you don't want to get a good look from us women." She paused, "What we want to hear is that you are very thin, understand?"

Xiao Chengxiu didn't seem to participate in the conversation. But I have learned a lesson in my heart, and decisively deleted the three words "You are not fat" and retyped: "You are very thin and do not need to lose weight." After confirming that there are no logical errors, he added this sentence The message was sent out.

He used to see Song Ling changing some habits in order not to make his girlfriend angry. What was he thinking at that time? He was thinking that if falling in love was like this, it would be very tiring.

Now...

he doesn't feel tired, which is good.

Chapter 72 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 71Next chapter: Chapter 73 When Shen Lu called Xiao Jingqiao, she realized that he had been blackmailed by him.

This surprised Shen Lu. She rarely took the initiative to call Xiao Jingqiao. The last investment matter was fruitless. After discussing it with Qing Yan, she knew that there was no chance of this matter, so she didn't call him again. I made a phone call, but how could I know that it had only been so long before he actually blackmailed her.

Shen Lu almost doubted her life. Things should have stopped here. Even if she didn't know what happened to Xiao Jingqiao, if he could make such a move, it must be because he wanted to cut off contact with her, so she She shouldn't be asking for trouble, but thinking of Qingyan's downturn during this period, she gritted her teeth and drove to the apartment in Xiao Jingqiao's name.

Of course she knew that Qing Yan's confrontation with Xiao Chengxiu would be an egg against a rock. She also knew the consequences, but she had no choice. Over the years, she had become accustomed to supporting any decision he made. In this world, she was the only one who truly loved him. His, if even she doesn't support him at this time, what should he do?

It can be said that Xiao Jingqiao has been reclusive during this period and no longer goes to friends' gatherings because he is afraid of hearing his friends discussing his affairs with Sang Yao. The regret that he wants to hide but cannot hide makes him feel like he has missed this. The feeling of being the most precious thing in the world made him even more afraid that others would mention Shen Lu and imply that he regarded fish eyes as pearls. This made him unbearable. He had been sought after everywhere since he was a child, and his taste and vision were questioned. This It was unbearable for him.

When he restored Shen Lu's filters point by point, he suddenly realized how crazy he had been this year.

Xiao Jingqiao didn't want to go anywhere in the apartment that day. He was lying on the sofa and flipping through his phone anxiously. After he got drunk yesterday, he deleted all the photos and text messages between him and Sang Yao so that he could read them when he woke up. When his phone went blank, he desperately wanted to recover the data and looked around to see if he could get it back.

When he was irritated, someone was ringing the doorbell. He stood up impatiently, not even bothering to look at the display screen. When he opened the door and was about to get angry at the person, he didn't expect that the person standing at the door was Shen Lu.

Xiao Jingqiao was surprised.

Shen Lu was holding the thermos flask, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "Jingqiao, long time no see. I passed by your place today because I had something to do. I thought you might not have eaten yet, so I made a lot of wontons and brought you some."

Xiao Jingqiao had a question . Momentarily stunned.

Shen Lu's voice was soft, "You need to have a good meal, Jingqiao. The soup base of these wontons is the chicken soup I made. Do you want to try it?"

It would be false to say that Xiao Jingqiao has no feelings for Shen Lu at all. After all, It’s someone I’ve liked for such a long time.

But he didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he turned sideways and said to her, "Come in."

The two of them sat at the dinner table, Xiao Jinqiao was silent, and Shen Lu felt a little unsure. After all, he had treated her since they met. Always so enthusiastic, racking his brains to think of topics to make her happy.

Shen Lu thought of her mission and the voice recorder in her bag. She managed to calm down and chatted with Xiao Jingqiao.

As they chatted, they naturally talked about Sang Yao's affairs. Shen Lu's tone was very pity, and even vaguely distressed, "Jingqiao, you must be sad. I heard about this and have been wanting to find you, but I'm afraid that you I'm in a bad mood and want to be alone, so I took the opportunity to find you today. Although Miss Sang and I have only met a few times, I can feel that she is a very good girl. The last time I saw her, she was in I went to Dongxi Manor to relax, and I happened to see her with Mr. Xiao, who should be inspecting the work. "

If Zhou Qingyan hadn't sent someone to follow this matter, Xiao Jingqiao would never have suspected Shen Lu.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingqiao suddenly raised his head to look at her.

Shen Lu thought that he was also shocked by what she said. Everything was in her plan. She pretended to be casual and said: "Miss Sang is really a brave girl. I remember you said before that she In order to get close to you and get to know you, I also work in the company with you. I envy her very much. Maybe I will never be able to do such a brave thing in my life." She laughed at herself and looked at Xiao Jingqiao again, "Jingqiao, I am. I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Miss Sang. You have been together for so many years, and it is a pity that the relationship broke up. Did you misunderstand Miss Sang's feelings for you because of some rumors you heard? What a pity."

Xiao Jingqiao looked at Shen Lu and asked word by word: "What rumors?"

Shen Lu pretended to be surprised, then regretted, and said: "It's nothing, I just said it casually, Jingqiao," she Standing up, as if trying to hide something, "Do you have any eggs here? I'll fry one for you."

Xiao Jingqiao stood up, grabbed her wrist, and asked, "What kind of rumors are they?" What

happened next? Under Xiao Jingqiao's repeated questioning, Shen Lu said helplessly and anxiously: "I really don't know, I just heard someone say, say, say," she gritted her teeth, "It seems that Miss Sang and Mr. Xiao have something to do with each other." What's the matter?"

Xiao Jingqiao looked at Shen Lu intently until the latter got angry, then he whispered: "It's getting late, you should go back first."

She didn't wait until Shen Lu walked out of the apartment complex. I reacted belatedly, was there something wrong with Xiao Jingqiao?

***

Xiao Chengxiu was on his way back after attending the dinner when he received a call from his friend Song Ling.

"What's going on? I'm driving." Xiao Chengxiu is a person who abides by traffic rules very much. Even though he has had a driver's license for more than ten years and can be regarded as an experienced driver in terms of driving experience, he rarely answers the phone while driving. .

Even through the phone, the gossip conveyed by Song Ling was still very strong, "It's a big news. I only found out in the past two days that Lao Pei is actually pursuing Sang Yao. I can't believe it. I can't believe that Lao Pei really wants to turn old cucumber green." The paint is so young. He is an old guy in his thirties, but he still wants to get his hands on a little girl. Tsk tsk, I just heard that Lao Pei has made up his mind this time and actually moved in with Sang Yao as his neighbor. Well, I think this is not an old cucumber painting with green paint, but an old house on fire!"

Xiao Chengxiu didn't listen carefully at first, and even wanted to hang up the phone. When he heard the following words, his expression became stern, "Say! What?"

"Old Pei is chasing Sang Yao. Why, you don't agree?"

Xiao Chengxiu looked tense and hung up the phone.

Sang Yao also didn't expect that Pei Chi would move next door to her as a neighbor. She thought that Pei Chi had already figured out what she meant, and the two of them would stop contacting each other in the future. After all, this is how the blind date process goes these days, as long as the other person is a normal person. , as long as the other party can understand and understand human speech, there is no need to explicitly refuse. If you reject the invitation a few times, you will know what the other party means, and you will disappear from the other party's chat list.

To say how much Pei Chi liked her, she wouldn't believe it. They had only been together a few times.

Pei Chi is still very good at dealing with people. He stood at the door of Sang Yao's house with a relaxed attitude, "Lao Xiao has sold me many times before, saying that the environment here is good, the location is good, and the things are done well. My company is also closer. As for me, because I am too busy at work, I live in hotel suites all year round, and I don’t have anyone to take care of the house under my name. I am tired of living in this hotel, and it is more comfortable to live at home."

Sang Yaoyi said . I will just watch you making up lies quietly.

Of course, Pei Chi understood. He suppressed a smile, but still explained seriously, "What a coincidence, I just wanted to return to the crowd life, and a friend recommended this place to me. What's more, it's right here. Next door to you."

While the two were chatting, the elevator door suddenly opened and Xiao Chengxiu walked out.

Pei Chi and Sang Yao looked at him together.

Xiao Chengxiu was wearing formal clothes, with an upright posture and a straight back. He first glanced at Sang Yao, and then at Pei Chi, with a very cold tone, "Why are you here?"

Pei Chi crossed his arms, and he was wearing light-colored clothes. The casual clothes made her temperament more gentle, "I've moved here. From now on, the three of us will have someone to take care of us, and we can visit each other no matter what."

Sang Yao thought to herself that it seemed a little inappropriate to have her in this scene.

It always felt like with her around, the two of them were hiding each other's words, affecting each other's performance, and it felt awkward for her as a bystander.

When I was a girl, I had fantasies about romance. If two top-notch rich men and handsome men were pursuing her, it would really be Mary Su Bensu. Now that the fantasy has come true, she doesn't want to hide under the quilt and laugh like a pig. This kind of blessing is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

She hurriedly pretended to be sleepy and said, "Ah, Mr. Pei, Mr. Xiao, it's getting late now and I'm sleepy too, so I'll go to bed first. You guys can chat slowly."

To Xiao Chengxiu, she never said anything The solution is to call me big brother.

Mr. Pei and Mr. Xiao, these two titles are quite good, neither of them are close and very polite.

It's a pity that the parties involved are not very satisfied.

After Sang Yao came in, Pei Chi changed his previous gentleness and his face was full of sarcasm. He looked at Xiao Chengxiu and said, "I remember you don't live by the sea. Why are you so lenient? Why, you want me to move out now?" "

Xiao Chengxiu's tone was even cooler, "Yes. Move out quickly."

Pei Chi was almost laughed out of anger. He was not a temperless person. He thought he could be regarded as the top school captain in school and had a hot temper. , but I was taught how to be a good person by society and shopping mall veterans. In the past few years, I have gradually lost my energy.

"If you, the Xiao family, have the ability, you will publish a warning in the newspaper tomorrow that no man on earth can pursue Sang Yao." Pei Chi stared at Xiao Chengxiu, "If you have the ability, I will not get close to Sang Yao."

Xiao Chengxiu He looked at Pei Chi coldly.

After all they have known each other for so many years, Pei Chi still knows what kind of character Xiao Chengxiu is. If he were not so angry, he would not want to say this. Thinking of the help Lao Xiao had given him in the past few years, he added: "I am already thirty this year. I'm old, just do it. It's not easy for me to meet someone who suits my eyes in all aspects. I really don't want to miss him easily. Who knows if I will meet him again in the future?"

After Pei Chi finished speaking, he stared at him . With Xiao Chengxiu and being friends, it would be meaningless if Lao Xiao continued to object.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengxiu was silent for a moment and said, "I am also thirty years old."

Pei Chi didn't understand what he meant at first and wanted to scold him, but then he realized what he meant, looked at Xiao Chengxiu in disbelief, and said slowly Sound me 1 fuck.

Chapter 73 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 72Next chapter: Chapter 74 Pei Chi took the wine from the wine cabinet. Xiao Chengxiu pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "No need to take my glass. I have work later and can't drink." "

I'll drink." Pei Chi said in such a tone. A bit hopeless, "I'm very unlucky, I want to drink."

After pouring himself a glass of wine, Pei Chi sat across from Xiao Chengxiu. The furnishings in his home were very simple. He looked at his long-time friend and thought a little. Smiling, the corners of his lips did curl up, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Xiao Chengxiu was very calm and nodded, "I know."

Pei Chi sighed deeply, "You have always been like this, I I'm just curious, why do you like Sang Yao? She used to be your brother's girlfriend.

"You also want to say that I have a mental problem?" Xiao Chengxiu's eyes were sharp.

"Although I have always thought you were mentally ill, it was not because of this incident." Pei Chi said, "But the fact that you have come this far and told me directly means that you are going to take action, right."

Xiao Chengxiu said Without shying away or covering up, "Yes."

"Does she know?"

"Yes."

Pei Chi sighed again, "I really have nothing to say about you."

After knowing each other for so many years, As Lao Xiao himself said, he is also thirty, and it will be thirty-one this year. If he only has a good impression of Sang Yao and is just a little bit attracted, he is already unwilling to miss it. What about Lao Xiao? Lao Xiao knew that if he didn't like her to a certain extent, he would definitely not take this step.

Originally, he wanted to show off his misfortune, but looking at it now, Lao Xiao seemed to be even worse off than him.

But -

"Although I really want to help you unilaterally, I know that you definitely don't want to win without a fight, so we are familiar with each other, and I will never let go when I meet a girl I'm attracted to." Pei Chi said this. Very serious, that's how it is between friends. What's more, when it comes to relationships, there is no give-and-take. Everyone just strives for it based on their ability. If he loses or Lao Xiao loses, it will not affect the relationship between them. .

Ten years ago, you might have fought over the girl you liked. Ten years later, if you like the same girl, you won't feel tormented. You just have to compete fairly and no one will have any regrets.

Xiao Chengxiu glanced at Pei Chi, as if he disliked him very much, "You have broken the rules."

This tone made him want Pei Chi to pack his bags and leave in a minute.

Pei Chi said matter-of-factly: "I didn't break the rules. Think about it, she is working as a secretary with you, and they work together every day. Now that I have moved next door to her, we can't leave." It's a first-come-first-serve approach. It's very fair. I told you in advance that I have no plans to move, so don't waste your time."

Xiao Chengxiu didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

Pei Chi knew that his friend was full of evil, so he deliberately provoked him. After taking a sip of wine, his expression was very happy, "I found the long-lost desire to win and lose, and it made me look younger all of a sudden. It's great."

Xiao Chengxiu didn't. Looking at him, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and whispered: "For you, it is the desire to win, but for me, this is the only time."

Pei Chi couldn't stand what he said, "So what, the rules of the world, don't "

It's just that the degree of liking is different."

Xiao Chengxiu stood up and said to Pei Chi, "I'm leaving first." After Pei Chi watched him arrive at the door

, he couldn't help but say, "You are so trustworthy to me. I live next door to her now."

Knowing that Xiao Chengxiu didn't even turn around, his voice was cold, "I'm not trusting you, I'm trusting her."

Pei Chi didn't realize it at first. After Xiao Chengxiu left and closed the door, he suddenly realized and cursed softly. , what does this mean? Did he just decide that Sang Yao didn't like him?

Whether it was the long-lost desire to win or not, Pei Chi let himself go a little bit in front of Sang Yao. When they first met, he was still walking the line of a gentle and gentle gentleman. Even if he liked or pursued him, it would be more natural and subtle, nothing more than that. put. It's different now. Any employee in the company who is interested in gossip knows that there is a rich second generation who is pursuing Secretary Sang. He sends flowers of different varieties every day, which is very romantic.

When it rains, someone will come to give Secretary Sang an umbrella. Of course, this umbrella is no ordinary umbrella. It is said that the umbrella handle is inlaid with gems.

It is said that this rich second generation has liked Secretary Sang since he was a child, but he has always had a crush on him. Now he finally has a chance, and even put up lights and shadows in a certain building to confess his love.

It is said that this rich second-generation family is not ordinary rich, and they even gave Secretary Sang a villa.

Sang Yao was speechless as she listened to Wei Jing conveying some rumors and gossip within the company vividly, "That umbrella is just an ordinary paradise umbrella. It has no gems, no light show to confess, and he has not liked me since he was a child. He is eight years older than me. When he was eighteen, I was only eight years old. He is not a disgusting and dirty person. Finally, there is no such thing as a villa. "

Pei Chi has a lot of pursuits, and there are many people in his circle. As we all know, Xiao Chengxiu came to work that day and saw a large bouquet of flowers on Sang Yao's desk. He returned to the office and sent a warning letter to Pei Chi: "Don't disturb the work of our employees anymore. Respect yourself."

Xiao Chengxiu is not He was very happy, but he couldn't do things like send flowers to Sang Yao every day, so he worked hard to help Sang Yao keep an eye on the stocks. In the investment and financial management plan he made for Sang Yao, part of the money was used to buy stocks. , the stock he bought for Sang Yao during this period was doing pretty well, soaring all the way, and the profits were very impressive.

Sang Yao was so happy that she went crazy!

She thinks roses, lilies, etc. don’t have the cash to give her flowers to make her excited!

Of course, she was not an ungrateful person. She immediately booked a restaurant to treat Xiao Chengxiu to dinner, and Xiao Chengxiu naturally did not refuse.

In the past, Sang Yao would hide it, saying that she didn't care too much about these profits, but now she has let herself go. Anyway, she no longer cares about her character or whether others will doubt her. If Xiao Chengxiu sees through her daughter-in-law, Underneath the lady's surface, she is not enterprising and loves money as much as life, but she is not under any pressure.

"I really didn't expect to make so much money." Sang Yao blew rainbow farts one after another. "I don't even know how to read the stock market. If I buy blindly by myself, or if someone else buys it, it won't matter. You won't be able to make so much money if you lose blood."

She didn't praise him openly, but her words still made him feel comfortable.

Seeing Sang Yao's eyes glowing because she made a lot of money, Xiao Chengxiu quietly concluded in his mind: It turns out that she likes to make money.

He has heard of the idea that people will empathize when they are hurt, some towards people and some towards objects. Maybe now Sang Yao feels that these things can give her more security.

If you like someone, give them what they want.

Xiao Chengxiu immediately decided to spend half an hour to an hour every day studying the stock market, trying to help her make more money and make her happier.

When this idea came to his mind, he completely forgot that he was the richest man.

***

Where Pei Chi couldn't see it, he thought he had the upper hand. He knew Lao Xiao and knew that he couldn't do things like send flowers and umbrellas, but a young girl like Sang Yao obviously couldn't understand Lao Xiao's unrestrained mood under his deep appearance, so until now, So far, Pei Chi was very confident in himself. He felt that as long as he didn't give in, he would be the one to catch Sang Yao first.

Thinking about it this way, Lao Xiao has been really cunning and cunning for more than ten years. He actually told him that he liked Sang Yao without any concealment. This was just to kidnap him morally and to make him see how hard it was for him to be single for so many years. Give up on your own initiative for the sake of falling in love with a girl.

Oh.

We are all thirty-one years old, and no one is more pitiful than anyone else.

With this mentality, Pei Chi could afford to knock on Sang Yao's door shamelessly.

Sometimes I need to borrow soy sauce, sometimes I need to borrow jealousy. I always take this opportunity to chat with Sang Yao and show her my advantages in every possible way.

That day, Pei Chi knocked on the door again. Sang Yao opened the door and asked, "What do you want to borrow this time? Didn't you buy any seasonings for the kitchen?"

Pei Chi nodded, "Well, I want to borrow it from you today." Order cooking wine."

Sang Yao finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you really cooking every day?"

Pei Chi looked at her and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat together?"

Sang Yao decided not to accept this. After a while, he said, "There is no cooking wine at home. You can ask an errand to buy it for you."

After saying a few words this time, Sang Yao closed the door and Pei Chi returned satisfied.

It was impossible to cook. Without a girl by his side, it would be a waste of skill for him to cook for himself.

Not long after closing the door, the doorbell rang again. Sang Yao thought Pei Chi wanted to borrow some seasoning again. When she opened the door, she saw Xiao Chengxiu standing at the door.

He was wearing a smoky gray coat and his hair was a little wet. It rained a little outside today.

Sang Yao has now become accustomed to calling Xiao Chengxiu Mr. Xiao. Before she could call him, Xiao Chengxiu took the initiative and said, "I want to give you a gift."

A gift? ?

This made Sang Yao very curious.

Frankly speaking, since Xiao Chengxiu confessed his love to now, he has treated her to dinner, treated her to movies and concerts, but he has not given her any gifts so far.

"What gift?" Sang Yao asked.

Xiao Chengxiu carefully opened his coat and saw a little puppy in his arms. The puppy had beeping eyes and was licking his fingers.

Sang Yao stared blankly at such a little puppy, then looked up at Xiao Chengxiu, obviously not understanding why he would think of giving her a dog.

But this little puppy was indeed very cute. She couldn't control herself, and she had already taken this cute little puppy from his arms without Xiao Chengxiu taking the initiative.

Xiao Chengxiu saw Sang Yao's doubts. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still said seriously: "A dog can accompany you, and it can also guard against wolves."

Chapter 74 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 73Next chapter: Chapter 75 Wolf protection? ?

Fortunately he could figure it out! Although she thought so in her heart, Sang Yao still liked the little puppy very much. She hugged it and turned around and entered the house. Xiao Chengxiu also followed in and closed the door.

"It's so young, I don't even know how to take care of it." Before Sang Yao traveled through time, she really wanted to keep a pet, but she just thought about it. If she had a dog, she wouldn't have time to run it around, so she always left the dog alone. It's very pitiful that now Xiao Chengxiu has brought a little puppy. Although she didn't show that she likes it very much, she immediately fell in love with the puppy when she saw its ferocious breasts. She couldn't help but use that way to talk to the puppy. The child spoke in a childish tone and said to the puppy, "Why did you leave your mother at such a young age? How pitiful."

Xiao Chengxiu took the initiative to join in the conversation between her and the puppy, "I have hired someone to take care of it, so you can rest assured. "

In fact, Xiao Chengxiu really doesn't know how to pursue Sang Yao. He has no experience in this area and his personality prevents him from sending flowers and umbrellas. After thinking about it, he thought that she lives here alone. Maybe when he couldn't take care of her, she might be lonely. He also didn't want to find his mother and grandmother to accompany her, because he was not her and he didn't know if she would be willing. After much deliberation, he came up with this idea when he drove past a pet store two days ago.

As for the size of the dog, he also determined it after repeated thinking.

It was a large dog and he was afraid she wouldn't be able to control it. This kind of puppy is more suitable for her. She can hold it in her arms. The puppy has no owner before and is still young. In the future, it will only recognize Sang Yao as its owner.

He also heard from others that most girls think the little pet is very cute. Like the little puppy he bought, he was raised to be plump and meaty, with good coat color and variety, and many young girls like it.

"What's its name?" Sang Yao turned to ask Xiao Chengxiu.

Xiao Chengxiu shook his head, "I haven't taken it yet."

Sang Yao looked at the little puppy, then at Xiao Chengxiu, and said, "I have a few alternate names here, Qiuqiu, look at it, it's so fat. "

Xiao Chengxiu made a fair comment, "It's very ordinary, there's more."

"Zhuangzhuang."

Xiao Chengxiu

said with courage, "

She's really shy recently . I'm so shocked that I dare to say such things to a big boss.

Xiao Chengxiu was stunned, "Which cultivator?"

"Shy, shy, shy." The boss is still the boss. Even if he likes her, it doesn't mean that she can be so presumptuous. Sang Yao added, "I'll think of another name." "

Xiao Chengxiu looked at Sang Yao and raised his lips slightly, "That's it. It's fine. It's fine if you like it."

It was Sang Yao's turn to be embarrassed. "I don't think it's appropriate.

" "Xiao Chengxiu paused and said meaningfully, "I think the name Wagging the tail is not bad either."

Sang Yao: "..."

"If you want to raise another one in the future, give it this name." "

She was wrong, she was really wrong.

Even if the boss likes her and pursues her, he is still the boss.

Sang Yao decisively changed the subject and said to Xiao Chengxiu: "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I don't have any other ingredients here, and my aunt has gone home. If you don't mind, I'll give you a bowl of noodles."

This is also It was a way of compensating her for taking this name and taking advantage of the boss to some extent.

It is true that Xiao Chengxiu hasn't had dinner yet, and he hasn't eaten the noodles cooked by Sang Yao. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he was already looking forward to it, "Yeah."

Sang Yao opened the refrigerator and found luncheon meat, vegetables and eggs inside. Enough. In the kitchen, noodles were being cooked in a pot on one side, and lunch meat and eggs were being fried on a frying pan on the other side. Xiao Chengxiu stood shyly outside the kitchen looking at her. In fact, until now, he had not figured out why he was doing this. I like Sang Yao. I was attracted by the scene I accidentally bumped into at first, but what happened later.

He is not a person who can't control himself. He just wants to look at her face. There must be some other reason why he didn't reach this point. But he hasn't broken through yet. He only knows that he is standing in the kitchen like this. Looking at her back outside as she was busy working for him, her uncontrollable mood seemed to be one percent stronger.

Many one percents add up and gradually become one hundred percent.

A bowl of noodles that looked ordinary but had a complete mix of meat and vegetables was placed in front of Xiao Chengxiu. Sang Yao did not accompany him, but went to the side to buy pet supplies online on her mobile phone.

When Xiao Chengxiu was about to eat, he thought of someone next door, took out his cell phone, took a photo, and posted it on Moments.

There are also other furnishings in this photo. Anyone who cares will be able to tell whose home this is.

He heard his grandfather say that you can make a fortune by keeping quiet.

Grandpa is right.

***

Xiao Jingqiao was already very disappointed with Shen Lu. It was one thing to know that she was using him, but it was another thing to actually find out. Even if he doesn't get along with his eldest brother, they are still members of his own family. Who is Zhou Qingyan? Does he want to use this matter to turn him against his eldest brother? Even if he and his eldest brother really turned against each other, they still had a deep brotherly love to the outside world. The most important thing was that he suspected that Zhou Qingyan was definitely going to make a fuss about this matter. When everyone knew about it, where would he put his face?

Originally, Xiao Jingqiao wanted to go to Xiao Chengxiu, but he gave up the idea in time.

Why should he go to him? He can handle this matter very well on his own. It's not something that only Xiao Chengxiu can do well.

Finally, Xiao Jingqiao flew to another city and found his father in a large villa owned by a local family.

If he didn't want to go to his eldest brother about this matter, he would go to his father. It was absolutely impossible for his father to just watch something like this happen. Of course, he also hoped that his father could stop his eldest brother. As long as his father stopped him, his eldest brother would be completely out of luck.

Jamel Xiao has a very clear view of the relationship in the family. Although his father is not taking care of things now, if he really wants to take care of something, even the eldest brother must be obedient.

Mr. Xiao seemed not surprised at all by the arrival of his second son.

He spent a whole breakfast listening to his second son's indignant accusations against his eldest son's various behaviors. He also guessed Zhou Qingyan's sinister intentions thoroughly, except for the details related to Shen Lu, which he ignored as much as possible.

Mr. Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, looked up at his second son sitting opposite, and said, "I understand."

Xiao Jingqiao did not expect to receive such an answer. He believed that his father would definitely not ignore Zhou Qingyan's conspiracy, but for Doesn’t dad care about the dirty thoughts of eldest brother?

Seeing his father standing up to leave, Xiao Jingqiao stood up quickly and said in disbelief: "Dad, brother, don't you care about him like this?"

Mr. Xiao wiped his glasses and said nonchalantly: "Jingqiao, I'll be here soon. It’s Chinese New Year, and I have to go back after the activities here. Your mother has urged me several times. There is only about a week left. You can stay here with your father. Then we, father and son, will go back together. As for the company , I will ask your brother for a leave."

"Why?" Xiao Jingqiao was confused.

"Although you really want to hide some details, it just so happens that your father doesn't have his own analytical skills." Mr. Xiao glanced at his second son, "Put aside the matter between your eldest brother and Sang Yao. This has nothing to do with you. Relationship, during this week, recall to me every day at breakfast time the process of getting to know you and Miss Shen. I don’t want to hear repeated details. I will also give you a question every day and you can analyze the logic of this matter. , for example, today, the question I ask you is, you and Ms. Shen do not have the same circle of friends, and the occasions you went to are obviously not something she can go to. So, how did you get to know each other? Let’s also analyze the opportunities and possibilities. By the way, the time, place and characters are clearly explained.”

Xiao Jingqiao’s face turned pale, “Dad!”

“Jingqiao, you have not been as smart as your elder brother since you were a child, but it doesn’t matter, hard work can make up for your weakness . , Even the stupid bird has to fly first." Mr. Xiao patted Xiao Jingqiao's shoulder.

Finally, Mr. Xiao said: "Jingqiao, one day your father will leave, and your eldest brother will also have his own family. You are not his son, and he will not spoil you and rely on you for everything. Then you have to do it yourself. Remember what your father taught you before, if your elder brother can do some problems at a glance, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it, then do it ten times. If you still can’t do it ten times, then do it a hundred times.”

After saying this, Mr. Xiao left, leaving Xiao Jingqiao in a daze.

In the past, he thought that the acquaintance with Shen Lu was a very good memory. Now, subconsciously, he didn't want to recall it anymore, but he was also afraid of his father. He had to do what his father told him. If he couldn't even do this Doesn't it prove that he is not even one-tenth as good as his elder brother?

Mr. Xiao sat in the car and dialed the mobile phone number of his eldest son Xiao Chengxiu.

The other end picked up quickly.

Mr. Xiao simply explained the matter, "Although I don't think this is a big deal, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I still want my family to have a good New Year."

"Yeah." Xiao Chengxiu paused and said, "Dad, I know everything Zhou Qingyan has done. When I asked someone to investigate him, I was already mentally prepared. Zhou Qingyan is a sinister and narrow-minded person. He will definitely have some means to retaliate against me and Xiao. I "My personal affairs will never affect the company, please rest assured."

He doesn't have this precaution. He has seen too many fights in the mall over the years. He will consider the consequences before doing anything. Prepare in advance for what might happen.

Mr. Xiao was satisfied and did not hesitate to praise himself, "Those who do great things should think about the next few steps before taking one step. You have done a good job."

Chapter 75 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 74Next chapter: Chapter 76 Xiao's annual party was grand and grand. Sang Yao had not been very lucky in the lottery since he was a child. He only won the most common prize that almost everyone has, a shopping mall ticket with a face value of 300 yuan. Card, but she was also very satisfied, because her year-end bonus was enough for three months' salary. Two days after the annual meeting, Xiao's vacation officially began, and Sang Yao was also preparing to return to Linshi's Sang family to celebrate the New Year.

This year, Mrs. Xiao had prepared many valuable supplements and tea leaves early and asked Sang Yao to take them back with her. Mrs. Xiao is still inevitably a little sad, why? Originally, in her plan last year, she would take the whole family to visit Sang's family during the New Year and formally propose marriage. If everything went well, she would be ready to start arranging the marriage between Sang Yao and Xiao Jingqiao. Who would have thought that the marriage has not yet happened? Well, they almost became enemies.

Sang Yao was going back by car early tomorrow morning and was simply packing her things. When she saw the shy boy rubbing against her legs, she picked it up in distress and rubbed its fat head.

The dog is too young, and it takes three or four hours to get from Beijing to Linshi on the expressway. She was afraid that the dog wouldn't be able to bear it. The weather was changing now, and the puppies were prone to getting sick, so she decided to let the dog go. In Beijing. What makes her embarrassed is that although someone takes care of Xiashan every day, Xiashan is a very clingy dog and wants to stay with people 24 hours a day. The person who takes care of Xiashan also needs to take a vacation during the Chinese New Year. I can only come and take a look occasionally.

After much deliberation, Sang Yao came up with the most suitable candidate, and that was Xiao Chengxiu.

She picked up the shyness and let it hide in her plush pajamas. Then she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Chengxiu: "Are you at home now?"

Xiao Chengxiu quickly replied: "At home, something happened. "

Well, I'll go over there to find you. Is it convenient for you?"

Sang

Yao changed her clothes and went out.

She happened to meet Pei Chi who was coming back from work. Pei Chi saw the puppy in her arms and liked it very much. He kept teasing it, "You raised it?"

"Yeah."

"It's so small." Pei Chi After teasing enough, he stood up straight and asked casually, "It's already this hour and you still want to go out. Do you want me to be your driver?"

"No." Sang Yao thought for a while and then told the truth. "I went to see Mr. Xiao for something."

She was now used to calling Xiao Chengxiu "Mr. Xiao" in front of outsiders. Of course, she also called Mr. Xiao in front of him.

If you call me eldest brother or elder brother again now, it will feel very shameful and almost troubling.

Pei Chi calmed down his smile slightly. After saying goodbye to Sang Yao, he watched her enter the elevator and sighed in his heart. Lao Xiao should be lucky now. After the Chinese New Year, he will be thirty-one years old, not in his early twenties. He is so young. If he were twenty-one years old this year, no, even if he was twenty-five years old, he would already have the shamelessness to follow.

When Sang Yao came to see Xiao Chengxiu, he opened the door with a fruit knife.

She was not frightened, but the dog in her arms was frightened.

Xiao Chengxiu hurriedly explained: "I was just cutting fruit."

"Yeah." After Sang Yao walked in the door, she belatedly asked: "Cut it for me?"

In her impression, Xiao Chengxiu seemed to be very Eat less fruit.

Xiao Chengxiu walked to the kitchen and replied: "Well, last time I asked aunt to buy some fruits and yogurt to put in the refrigerator."

Sang Yao thought to herself, this person usually looks grand, but sometimes he is still very small-minded. On a day that can be recorded in history, he bumped into Pei Chi cooking for her at her home. At that time, Pei Chi was particularly attentive to making fruit for her. It turns out that he still cares about this detail, otherwise why would he let his aunt buy fruits and yogurt and put them in his refrigerator? Otherwise, how could he start cutting the fruits when she said she was coming to see him.

The so-called fruit harvesting is very simple, just cut the fruit into pieces, pour some yogurt on it, and you’re done!

"I'm going back tomorrow. Although I'll be back in a few days, I'm still a little worried. If it's convenient for you, can you let me stay with you for a few days?" As if she was afraid that Xiao Chengxiu would refuse, Sang Yao explained again, "I think Ms. Sun is also celebrating the New Year. She can't stay with Xiashian for a long time every day. She comes here to feed Xiashian. Let's take a look at its physical condition. Xiashian needs company very much. If it's inconvenient for you If so, I want to send Xiangxi to the pet store to stay temporarily for two days."

"It's convenient," Xiao Chengxiu replied without thinking.

Sang Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Chengxiu laughed, "I feel like you are still very polite to me."

"Huh?" Sang Yao didn't respond and was a little confused.

Xiao Chengxiu smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

If this makes her comfortable, then so be it. Just by looking at her performance, we can deduce the progress for the time being. If one day she asks him to do something as a matter of course, and won't say "Sorry to trouble you," maybe he will see the light. But what happened this time was still a big improvement for him. At least when she encountered this kind of thing, she thought of coming to him instead of looking for someone else.

Sang Yao was actually full. Xiao Chengxiu made a big bowl of fruit. She really couldn't eat it. But facing Xiao Chengxiu's eager eyes, she could only bite the bullet and continue eating. She felt that she was still an honest person at heart. , no, I was forced to finish a large bowl of fruit in a daze.

Faced with this kind of CD behavior, Xiao Chengxiu was very satisfied and had a sense of accomplishment. When sending Sang Yao out, he said by the way: "I'll make more for you next time."

He thought Sang Yao didn't have enough.

Sang Yao: "..."

Although they were both in the same community, Xiao Chengxiu still insisted on sending her back.

Sang Yao entered the room and closed the door. When Xiao Chengxiu was about to leave, the door of the next door opened. Pei Chi said with an expression of guilt, "Old Xiao, let's talk."

Although Xiao Chengxiu felt that there was nothing to talk about between them, but I walked over and followed him into the house.

As soon as he closed the door, Pei Chi scolded: "You are really cunning and cunning. You gave her the dog, right? Lao Xiao, you broke the rules. I didn't give anything to her."

Xiao Chengxiu was still like that . He was calm and his tone was calm, but upon closer inspection it was still sarcastic, "Your ancestors have not had anyone with the surname Aisin Gioro for several generations, right?"

This meant that Pei Chi was too lenient.

Pei Chi was so angry.

But as he said, he is a thirty-one-year-old mature man, and there is no need to yell at him because of a bitch.

After cursing Xiao Chengxiu for being cunning, despicable and shameless, Pei Chi said again: "I heard from Song Ling that this guy Zhou Qingyan has been restless recently and seems to be up to something big?"

Xiao Chengxiu was a little surprised that Pei Chi cared about this matter and stopped hiding it. Hiding, "Well, he is looking for someone to follow Sang Yao and me. He probably wants to make some noise during the Chinese New Year."

"He knows?" Pei Chi frowned.

"Yes. You should know, and even went to test the Jingqiao Bridge."

Pei Chi sighed, "What can I do? Paper can't cover the fire. You can stop Zhou Qingyan, but you can't stop this rumor. Poor Yao... ..."Yao.

Before he finished speaking, he felt Xiao Chengxiu glance at him, which was very warning.

"I feel sorry for Sang Yao. It's obvious that you like her, but maybe she is the one who will be discussed and criticized in the end."

Xiao Chengxiu pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a serious tone, "My dad said he wanted to be quiet during the New Year."

Pei Chi understood instantly. "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Zhou Li'an is secretly contacting the Wang family."

After all, we have known each other for so many years. Xiao Chengxiu just started. After saying this, Pei Chi understood what he meant, "The Wang family in the east of the city There is only one only daughter. It seems that Zhou Li'an wants to take the road of marriage. If he really has this intention, the Wang family will definitely support Zhou Li'an. After all, the Wang family will also rely on these real families to enter the upper class society, and Zhou Qingyan will not be able to take care of it then. Other things are urgent. After all, Zhou Qingyan is an illegitimate child. Before he truly controls the Zhou family, no respectable family will consider him. The Wang family has only been cleansed a few years ago. It is Zhou Qingyan's. His personal ability is much better than that of Zhou Li'an. I'm afraid Zhou Qingyan will have his beard cut off."

Pei Chi suddenly thought of something, "I remember that the old man of the Wang family was your grandfather's driver when he was young?"

Xiao Chengxiu smiled and nodded.

Pei Chi didn't get to the point clearly. The relationship between the Wang family and the Xiao family is also very complicated. Any family that can be ranked in the capital is not simple inside. On the surface, the centuries-old family and the new rich are basically inseparable. , but in fact, these upstart families will help them do things that the family is not suitable to do. This is the relationship between the Wang family and the Xiao family.

As long as Zhou Qingyan wanted to have a relationship with the Wang family, he would definitely not and would not dare to tell anyone about the Xiao family. He would even try to hide the matter because of his guilty conscience.

But...

Pei Chi looked at Xiao Chengxiu and said, "I heard that Zhou Qingyan has a very wild temperament. He may not necessarily choose the Wang family."

"He will." There was a faint smile on Xiao Chengxiu's face, " A person who thinks he is only one step away from success can't stand failure, especially with his temper."

Pei Chi was silent for a moment, then cursed: "I am such a good person that I worry about my love rival. Pin really has nothing to say. "

It's a joke to worry about Xiao Chengxiu. This person is so insidious and cunning, who can plot against him?

Xiao Chengxiu stood up and left. When he walked to the entrance, he turned his head and said, "Thank you, Lao Pei."

Pei Chi immediately said, "I'm worried that my Yao sister will suffer a disaster, okay?!"

"Shut up."

* **

Early the next morning, Sang Yao handed Xiashian to Xiao Chengxiu and prepared to take the car back to Linshi.

Xiao Chengxiu hugged Xiashan. Xiashan wanted to break away from his arms, but couldn't. She was very angry and wanted to bite his finger.

"I asked my assistant to buy a cat and dog monitor and install it in my living room." Xiao Chengxiu paused, "Even on your mobile phone, you can watch it anytime."

Sang Yao was a little surprised. After all, she worked for Xiao Chengxiu. I have been a secretary for a long time, and I know that he is very concerned about sex. Now he actually installs a cat and dog monitor in his living room... What is wrong with him!

"No, no, no." Sang Yao waved her hand quickly, "There are people at home anyway, so there is no need to pretend."

Xiao Chengxiu stared at her, naturally looking away, and touched the shy dog's head with his big palm, saying Wen Wen said gently: "It is still necessary. The master has the power of supervision."

Supervision power? What the hell, who is supervising? Could it be him?

The author has something to say: Today is the third update!
