Chapter 21 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 20Next chapter: Chapter 22 In the early morning, it started raining heavily. Mrs. Xiao habitually watches the morning news and waits for Sang Yao to have breakfast together.

In such heavy rain weather, minor accidents are inevitable. Mrs. Xiao saw a car rear-end on the news. The accident was neither big nor small, and several people were injured. She was immediately frightened. She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to see the scene. , it won’t rain for a while.

Sang Yao went downstairs to sit down and have breakfast with Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao took a sip of porridge and frowned, "Yao Yao, it seems that you only got your driver's license last year, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you can be considered a novice driver. The weather today is too bad. We are still halfway up the mountain, and the terrain is not that stable. Don't drive to work by yourself today. Let the driver come back and take you there later, so I can feel more at ease."

Sang Yao got her driver's license after taking the college entrance examination. , but she herself had only been on the road not long ago. It was easy for a rear-end collision to occur in such weather, and she was not sure at all. She cherishes her life very much now. When she was washing up just now, she was still thinking about whether she should let the Xiao family's driver take her to work.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't dare to drive out in this weather."

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper came in from the outside with a happy face, "The young master is back. It's raining heavily outside."

Xiao Madam was stunned, "So early?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengxiu walked into the dining room from the living room with water vapor. He glanced at Sang Yao subconsciously, looked away as if nothing had happened, and said to Madam Xiao: "There is a document to be signed, and I need Dad to sign it." "I've called Dad."

"Okay, have you had breakfast?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"Have eaten."

In fact, Xiao Chengxiu hasn't eaten breakfast yet. He knows that if he doesn't eat, his mother will definitely ask the kitchen to make his favorite beef noodles. If it rains now, there will be traffic jams, and he doesn't want to delay his work time. .

Mrs. Xiao did not doubt him. She looked at Sang Yao and said, "It just so happens that Yaoyao has only had her driver's license for a year. I would be worried if she drives in this weather today. Otherwise, you can take Yaoyao to work with you.

" Yao: "..."

Xiao Chengxiu hesitated and did not agree immediately.

Sang Yao also saw that Xiao Chengxiu was not very willing. Just when she was about to make an excuse, she only heard the other party's cold reply: "Okay."

OK.

They wouldn't say anything anyway. The journey from here to the company, including the traffic jam, would only take more than half an hour at most. When neither of them wanted to talk, the atmosphere wouldn't actually be that awkward.

She has been working in the company for more than a month. Sang Yao and Xiao Chengxiu have not met much. Except for that time when Ada and Wei Jing were busy and she accompanied them to a meeting, they never went out again.

When Mrs. Xiao sent Sang Yao and Xiao Chengxiu to the door, the rain was still so heavy.

Sang Yao only hesitated for a few seconds before he consciously opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

It was obviously not appropriate to sit in the back seat when Xiao Chengxiu was driving.

Mrs. Xiao warned again: "Be careful when driving on the road. If I weren't afraid of delaying your work, I should have asked the driver to come back and take you there."

"It's okay." Xiao Chengxiu smiled, "Hurry up and go inside, it's raining too hard. "

I know, let's go in now."

Mrs. Xiao agreed, but she watched the car leave her sight before turning and entering the house.

Sang Yao and Xiao Chengxiu really had nothing to say. Later, after entering the city, there was a traffic jam for a short period of time. Xiao Chengxiu asked: "Are you still used to working in the company?"

It had been more than 20 minutes since getting in the car. The atmosphere was originally It was very quiet. When he suddenly asked such a question, Sang Yao thought she was hallucinating.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

The breakfast incident has been discussed several times in the secretarial department. Assistant Sun must also know about it. Sang Yao wonders, has Assistant Sun told Xiao Chengxiu about it?

Regardless of whether Xiao Chengxiu knew it or not, she should seize this opportunity.

She has also thought a lot in the past few days. The breakfasts sent to her anonymously are almost all in line with the taste and preferences of the original owner. Once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence. It has been so many times. Who will believe it if there is nothing fishy? Knowing the original owner so well, he must be someone close to him. All signs now indicate that the person delivering breakfast is most likely a colleague of the company, and the colleagues of this company have almost no overlap with the original owner’s circle of friends. , except for one Xiao Jingqiao.

Yes, her intuition told her that this matter must have something to do with Xiao Jingqiao.

This is most likely Xiao Jingqiao's trick. No matter what his purpose is, whether Xiao Chengxiu knows it or not, in order not to fall into Xiao Jingqiao's trap, she must first take herself out. Now is the best time, Xiao Chengxiu Since she has already asked, she has to file a complaint first. After that, Xiao Jingqiao wanted to be a monster again, but he couldn't pass Xiao Chengxiu alone.

"I don't know if I should say..."

As soon as Sang Yao said these words, she felt so regretful that her intestines turned green.

You know, there is such a plot in the original work. There is a rich lady who also likes Xiao Chengxiu and dislikes the original owner very much. She feels that the original owner is too faceless and completely regards herself as the mistress of the Xiao family. Under the arrangement of the two families, she We had a meal with Xiao Chengxiu. At that time, she knew something about the original owner and wanted to slander the original owner before Xiao Chengxiu. This is what she said - I don't know whether I should say it or not.

Xiao Chengxiu also didn't want Mrs. Xiao to lose face. After all, this blind date was arranged by his mother, but after hearing this, he didn't even raise his head and said coldly: "Then don't say it."

Based on Xiao Chengxiu's current performance With his character, she felt that what he said was really not inappropriate at all.

What should I do, if Xiao Chengxiu also said, I don’t know whether I should say it or not, so don’t say it... What should she say? ?

Oh my God, why did she say such silly remarks in front of Xiao Chengxiu when her brain was twitching? Can you rewind and start over?

Just when Sang Yao was regretful, she only heard Xiao Chengxiu say: "You said it."

Eh? ? ?

Sang Yao didn't dare to be pretentious or add jealousy, and made the whole story clear, "Originally I shouldn't take this kind of thing to heart, but I'm really worried. I'm afraid that if it gets to Jing Qiao's ears, he will You misunderstood me even more. I want to go see the surveillance camera, but I'm afraid of making things worse."

She said in an eager and helpless tone, wanting to give herself a thumbs up.

Xiao Chengxiu was silent for a moment. After the car in front started to move, he spoke: "If you don't mind, I will let the assistant handle this matter."

Don't mind! Of course I don’t mind! !

Sang Yao hurriedly said: "Then I'll trouble you, brother."

She was not afraid of the shadows slanting. With Xiao Chengxiu's words, she thought that in a few days she would not see breakfast on her desk when she came to work!

If this matter was really related to Xiao Jingqiao, she felt that not only her, but also Xiao Chengxiu would think that he was crazy and would despise him.

Sang Yao thought for a while and added, "I'm not afraid of anything else. The breakfasts served during this period are all my favorites. Staring at me in the dark like this and knowing all my preferences... I really I was afraid, so I asked Secretary Wei to accompany me to work during this period. I was afraid that I might have encountered a peeping tom. "

Xiao Chengxiu has always been smart, and under Sang Yao's suggestion, he thought of his younger brother Jingqiao during this period. Based on his behavior, he felt that this matter must have something to do with his younger brother.

If this is really the case, then there is a lack of lessons and there is a problem with one's character.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Chengxiu said, "It will be taken care of soon."

Sang Yao immediately felt relieved.

Not to mention, Xiao Chengxiu was indeed a big shot that even the male protagonist was afraid of. He obviously said these words very calmly, but she instantly relaxed and was not afraid of anything.

The boss is the boss.

Thinking about the dishonest things Xiao Jingqiao did, I really doubted him. Why is there such a big gap between this younger brother and his older brother? He was obviously born to the same mother.

After this section of the road, it became much smoother, and in about ten minutes, we arrived at the company's underground parking lot.

Xiao Chengxiu had hypoglycemia and was in a hurry today. He didn't eat breakfast. He felt a little dizzy as soon as he parked the car and his vision went dark. When he came to his senses again, he found someone grabbing his arm. He turned his head and saw Sang Yao. He was looking at him anxiously.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Sang Yao was frightened, although he seemed to be back to normal after a while, "Brother, do you have hypoglycemia?"

She also had friends with hypoglycemia in the past. Occasionally, he would suddenly fall to the ground and recover after a few minutes.

Xiao Chengxiu's eyes were still on her hands.

He was wearing a dark formal suit, and her white and slender hands formed a sharp contrast visually.

Sang Yao quickly let go, took out a chocolate from the bag and handed it to him, "Brother, you will feel much better if you eat one."

Xiao Chengxiu didn't like eating such sweet things, so he picked it up by mistake. Come over, the chocolate is spherical and wrapped in beautiful sugar paper.

"Well, thank you."

Xiao Chengxiu took the chocolate, but did not open it immediately. He got off the car, and Sang Yao was about to get off the car too. After thinking about it, she took out a few more chocolates in her bag. It is placed in a small grid on the center console of the car and can be seen at a glance.

He Yu was waiting in the parking lot. When he saw a car approaching, he would poke his head in and take a look. When he saw the license plate number, he was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, this should be one of the vehicles under Mr. Xiao's name. Bar? Then he saw Xiao Chengxiu get out of the car. As an employee of the sales department, He Yu naturally had no chance to talk to Xiao Chengxiu. He was debating whether to step forward to say hello or hide elsewhere when he saw Sang. Yao also got off the car.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong. What was going on? ?

Why did Sang Yao get out of Mr. Xiao's car and they go to work together? No, no, what is their relationship?

The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

Chapter 22 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 21Next chapter: Chapter 23 He Yu was originally waiting for Sang Yao in the parking lot, preparing to confess in person, but now all his courage was exhausted after seeing Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao get out of the car together.

Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao looked at each other intently when walking. The parking lot was so big and cars were coming in and out. They really didn't see He Yu, but even if they did, they would just treat this person as a stranger.

How dare he block Sang Yao? He hid behind the pillar and waited for who knows how long. His legs were almost numb from standing before he walked towards the elevator and went upstairs back to the sales department.

The sales department often holds morning meetings, and He Yu looks preoccupied all morning. Fortunately, it rained heavily today, and colleagues in the department either had their cars soaked in water, or had awkward journeys to work. No one noticed the always active He Yu. Yu was too quiet today, except for Xiao Jingqiao.

He Yu is not a gold medal salesman, but his performance has always been good. He applied for Xiao's job after graduating from college and stayed in the company for several years.

Anyone who sees such a scene will doubt the relationship between Mr. Xiao and Sang Yao, and he is no exception.

He Yu was sitting in the corner, not listening to the manager's words at all. He was writing and drawing on the paper with his head lowered and said nothing.

Xiao Jingqiao has always been paying attention to He Yu.

He knew that He Yu had plans to confess to Sang Yao face to face in the parking lot today, and he didn't know what the situation would be.

But seeing that He Yu looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, Xiao Jingqiao knew it in his heart and knew that he must have been rejected mercilessly by Sang Yao. This was also what he expected, and he was dizzy for a moment. He wants to persuade He Yu to pursue Sang Yao to get rid of her. If Sang Yao was really so easy to woo, then...she wouldn't have gotten engaged to him. What's more, apart from his factors, if Sang Yao was single now, she wouldn't fall in love with He Yu.

He'd better think of another way.

He Yu was wondering if he was a bit narrow-minded. Could it be that when Sang Yao got off Mr. Xiao's car, there must be a male-female relationship between them?

Sang Yao is Mr. Xiao's secretary. Maybe they have official business to do. Just like him, sometimes when he has to do things in the morning, he will go out together in the manager's car. The manager is a woman. Does he have that kind of relationship with the manager? ? From this to that, don't have that dirty look.

He has been in the company for a few years. Although he has not had close contact with Mr. Xiao, he also knows that Mr. Xiao has always had a good reputation in terms of his private life.

He had also heard a female colleague in the human resources department say privately before that there used to be a secretary who wanted to daydream about jumping to the Dragon Gate, but Mr. Xiao directly asked the human resources department to fire her. There were even female celebrities who were also interested in Mr. Xiao. But before the news was released, it was solved by Xiao's public relations.

In addition, Mr. Xiao is very resolute in his work. I believe all employees in the company know that would a person like this develop his secretary into a girlfriend? Or will he let his girlfriend be his secretary? Such a lack of distinction between public and private matters is obviously not Mr. Xiao's style.

He Yu felt a little at ease.

After the morning meeting ended, he came to his senses, picked up his notebook and walked out of the conference room. Before he could return to his seat, he was called to the rest area to drink coffee by Xiao Jingqiao.

Compared with other companies, Xiao's office environment is very relaxed. As long as the work is completed, you can do your own things, including going to the rest area to drink coffee or even go to the gym to exercise.

Both Xiao Jingqiao and He Yu were holding coffee in their hands. There was no one else in the rest area at this time. Xiao Jingqiao asked directly: "How is it? Have you told her?"

In fact, Xiao Jingqiao was also very conflicted. On the one hand, he guessed that Sang Yao He must have looked down upon He Yu. On the other hand, he also wanted to know how Sang Yao rejected him.

How could He Yu know Xiao Jingqiao's psychological activities? After hearing Xiao Jingqiao's question and looking up into his eyes, He Yu concluded almost instantly that Sang Yao and Mr. Xiao had absolutely no other relationship.

Why?

Xiao Jingqiao is Mr. Xiao's biological brother. If Sang Yao is Mr. Xiao's girlfriend, how could Xiao Jingqiao not know?

If Sang Yao was Mr. Xiao’s girlfriend, it would be impossible for Xiao Jingqiao to encourage him to pry his elder brother’s wall, right? No normal person could do such a dishonorable thing.

He Yu made up his mind and smiled: "No, it rained so heavily today. I was already late and didn't meet her at all. Let's talk about it another day. This matter can't be rushed."

Xiao Jingqiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled again He Yu said: "Yes."

He Yu lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. Although he knew in his heart that Sang Yao and Xiao had nothing to do with each other, he still wanted to test it, so he deliberately sighed, "You said, someone with the level of Secretary Sang Does the goddess really have a boyfriend? "

"Didn't you tell me that she doesn't have a boyfriend?" Xiao Jingqiao said again, "What's the matter, is it hard to give up?"

He Yu shook his head. Shaking his head, "No, this is the first time I've fallen in love at first sight in so many years. Just think about it, she is a rich second generation. If she has a boyfriend, he must be a rich second generation that ordinary people like me can't afford to offend. I am Afraid of getting into trouble."

"It's true."

He Yu was truly relieved.

After all, he has been struggling in this society for several years. There is no one in the sales industry who has never seen him. Although he likes Sang Yao, if he offends someone he can't afford to offend, it will be more than the gain is worth the loss. After all, they are all men. If someone is interested in his girlfriend, if he is powerful, he will never let that person go.

After hearing Xiao Jingqiao's assurance, he no longer had any worries in this regard.

The goddess is important, but it is not as important as your own life.

***

Xiao Chengxiu never does things sloppily. When he came to the office at work, he asked Assistant Sun to contact the administrative department to adjust the monitoring for the past few days.

After spending almost a whole morning, he finally determined that the person who delivered breakfast to Sang Yao was an employee of the sales department. He guessed that this matter was closely related to Xiao Jingqiao, and adjusted the monitoring records of the sales department. Sure enough, , I saw videos of Xiao Jingqiao and He Yu frequently talking together.

After Xiao Chengxiu closed his eyes and rested for a while, he took advantage of his lunch break to call Xiao Jingqiao. In an unquestionable tone, he asked him to come to his office.

When Xiao Chengxiu received the order call, Xiao Jingqiao was still a little confused, thinking that his elder brother had something to tell him about work, so he didn't even bother to eat lunch. After saying hello to a few colleagues, he took the elevator to the president's office.

Sang Yao didn't have much appetite at noon today. Ada and Wei Jing both went out to eat, so she simply ordered a business set meal from a certain restaurant.

Picking up the mug and going to pour some water, he happened to bump into Xiao Jingqiao coming out of the elevator.

When their eyes met, Xiao Jingqiao was also surprised. He rarely saw Sang Yao wearing this kind of suit, so when he saw her so suddenly, he could hardly recognize her.

In his impression, Sang Yao was very squeamish and had difficulty getting up early, let alone going to work. Now she appeared in front of him as a professional beauty, and he really couldn't recover.

Sang Yao is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. No matter in appearance or temperament, no one can match her in this circle. She is the most dazzling pearl.

Everyone marveled at Sang Yao's beauty. Only Xiao Jingqiao, after spending a long time with her, knew how boring she was inside.

Sang Yao didn't expect to see Xiao Jingqiao. After all, she was not a professional actor and would not fall into the role in a second. Fortunately, Xiao Jingqiao was always confident and was stunned at the moment, so he didn't see the contempt in her eyes.

"Jingqiao, it's really you!" Sang Yao looked extremely surprised and stretched out a hand to hold his, "Are you here to see me? Have you eaten?"

She didn't want to touch him. Xiao Jingqiao, but thinking of his own personality and the previous behavior and habits of the original owner, he bit the bullet and pinched his nose to hold his hand. He had already thought about it and wanted to go to the bathroom to wash his hands later. In the past, she really had no other feelings for Xiao Jingqiao, just treating him as a paper person, but now when she thinks about him doing such dirty things behind his back, she feels that this person is so disgusting that she wants to wash her eyes just by looking at him.

Sang Yao had always suspected that her being pursued had something to do with Xiao Jingqiao. Now that he was able to come here at this point, he must have been summoned by Xiao Chengxiu. Then, Xiao Chengxiu also checked this matter and determined that Xiao Jingqiao was behind it. Damn it...

Although I knew that Jamel Xiao was a scumbag to the original owner, he didn't expect that he would be such a scumbag and actually instigate other men to pursue his already tired fiancée? ? ?

What an eye-opener.

On the surface, Sang Yao asked him gently if he had eaten, but in his heart, he was already madly insulting him. He even ate so much that he could just starve to death. It was just about saving food and air. It was really the east side. If there is no light and the light is bright in the west, then the fool will be like him.

You stinky idiot, you'll have to eat until you're full.

Xiao Jingqiao looked down at his wrist, feeling a warm touch, and then looked at the gentle and loving smile on Sang Yao's face. His breath was stagnant, but thinking of Shen Lu, when he was about to shake her off, he raised his head Then he saw the eldest brother pushing open the door and looking at him coldly for who knows how long.

He shook Sang Yao away and said in a very impatient tone, "Don't touch me. I'm not here to find you. Don't talk to me. I'm very annoyed."

Damn it.

If Sang Yao hadn't thought that the number one on the rich list was Xiao Chengxiu, and Xiao Jingqiao was Xiao Chengxiu's younger brother, he would have kicked this stupid idiot away long ago.

Xiao Jingqiao walked towards Xiao Chengxiu, looking at his eldest brother's expression as he walked. He always felt that his eldest brother's eyes were very strange, and he felt that he had seen this look somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After following Xiao Chengxiu into the office and closing the door, Xiao Jingqiao suddenly remembered.

When he was engaged to Sang Yao, some love rivals seemed to see him this way...

No, that's not right. Why did he have such an illusion?

Xiao Jingqiao shook his head. It was so ridiculous. He must have been confused by Sang Yao.

The author has something to say: Mmm~ There will be another update (?-ω-') in half an hour. I know there are too few updates these days. I will make an appointment for the fourth update tomorrow~ There

Chapter 23 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 22Next chapter: Chapter 24 After Xiao Jingqiao walked into the office and closed the door, Sang Yao stood there for a while and then returned to his seat.

Secretly, she wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two brothers, but the sound insulation effect of this office was very good. Even if she put her ear against the door, she probably wouldn't hear anything, so she stopped doing this useless task. .

Sang Yao put her chin in her hand, not in the mood to have lunch anymore. She couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Chengxiu would handle it after knowing the ins and outs of the matter.

She believed that he would never do nothing. Although the contact time was not very long, she just felt that with Xiao Chengxiu's personality, he would definitely look down on the shabby things Xiao Jingqiao did.

Just as Sang Yao thought, Xiao Chengxiu would not believe that his younger brother Jingqiao would do such a thing if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Xiao Chengxiu has never been one to be roundabout, and he doesn't want to listen to anyone's excuses in front of him. He just throws out the evidence directly and leaves people speechless. Even if Xiao Jingqiao is his younger brother, there will be no exception.

When Xiao Jingqiao looked at the surveillance video on the computer screen, his expression suddenly changed. He never thought that his eldest brother would know about this. No, no, how could his eldest brother know?

You must know that the eldest brother is not too concerned about things other than work. Even if someone pursues Sang Yao, he will not care about it due to his character. In this case, how can the eldest brother investigate this matter.

Before Xiao Jingqiao had time to collect his thoughts, he heard Xiao Chengxiu say in an indifferent tone: "Are you crazy?"

The evidence was right in front of him. Even if Xiao Jingqiao wanted to quibble and deny it, there was nothing he could do. Xiao Jingqiao knew that the eldest brother hated other people's presence. Lie in front of him and treat him like a fool.

So, Xiao Jingqiao admitted straightforwardly, "I did this, but I don't think I was wrong."

"Coaxing others to pursue their fiancee, Xiao Jingqiao, where is your brain?" Xiao Chengxiu's recent attitude towards Xiao Jingqiao A lot has changed, he rarely spoke like this in the past.

Xiao Jingqiao dragged the chair and sat down, looking at his elder brother face to face, "Brother, you just asked me if I was crazy. Yes, I was really driven crazy. In ancient times, you could divorce your wife. Why did you come to me just to think about it?" Is it so difficult to break off the engagement? Do I have to marry someone I don’t like or even hate?

"So, you do this?" Xiao Chengxiu glanced at him. Or, do you want to defeat Sang Yao after she gets together with that person, so that everyone will misunderstand that she cheated first? In this way, you will be on the weak side of public opinion. In this way, if you ask to cancel the engagement, the Sang family will also Don’t dare to have any opinions. This is what you have learned after so many years of reading?”

Xiao Jingqiao inevitably became angry when Xiao Chengxiu expressed his darkest thoughts in such an understatement, “Brother, I didn’t think so! Sang Yao, let me go!"

"Let you go?" Xiao Chengxiu said calmly, "Since you got engaged, this is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two business families. You didn't have the responsibility as a man. No one forced you to get engaged to Sang Yao. You were willing, but now you don't want to. You are a three-year-old child, do you think anyone will allow you to mess around? Everyone in the Sang family knows that Sang Yao is you. My fiancée, you want to cancel the engagement because of an unknown person, where do you want to put the face of the Xiao family and the Sang family?" "

Face is more important than my business?"

Xiao Chengxiu nodded, "Of course.

When you are extremely angry, it is easy to speak indiscriminately, and the same goes for Xiao Jingqiao, "Don't stand and talk because your back hurts. Why don't you go on a blind date when your parents ask you to go? You don't want to be with someone who has no feelings." , then why can’t I do it? Is it just because I made a wrong decision when I was young and ignorant? Since face is more important than anything else, why don’t you get married? Do you know what others say about you? Some people question you. Sexual orientation!"

In fact, Xiao Jingqiao regretted it as soon as he said the truth. He was very afraid of his elder brother, and he was mad at him just now. He looked at his elder brother, and he was in a dilemma. He had already said the words, and he could not take them back. Reason...

I didn't know that Xiao Chengxiu was still so calm and calm, "Then what?"

Xiao Jingqiao didn't dare to talk about his eldest brother's feelings anymore, so he changed the subject, "Sang Yao is useless except for her face. He knows nothing, is evil-minded and scheming, and none of you..." I understand.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chengxiu, who had been calm just now, suddenly stood up, came to Xiao Jingqiao, and pulled him up like a chicken.

...

...

Xiao Jingqiao was beaten until he fell on the carpet, covering his stomach with his hands, his expression in pain.

He had no room to fight back. Xiao Chengxiu tugged on his tie, looked at him condescendingly, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know you were wrong?"

***

Sang Yao had been paying attention to the movements over there. When Xiao Jingqiao came out, She stood up immediately out of reflex.

Xiao Chengxiu never slaps people in the face, so now Xiao Jingqiao just walks with his waist bent.

Sang Yao's first reaction was that Xiao Jingqiao had been beaten. She was so happy that she felt that Xiao Chengxiu was really great and worthy of being a more powerful boss than the male protagonist. However, she still pretended to be worried on the surface and ran away Then he came to Xiao Jingqiao, supported him, and asked with concern: "Jingqiao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Xiao Jingqiao's disgust for Sang Yao has almost reached its peak now, and he Enduring the pain, he stood up and pushed Sang Yao away. Seeing the stunned expression on his face, he felt very happy.

He knew how much Sang Yao liked him, and he wanted to see her in pain right now.

Just when he was about to say something to make Sang Yao uncomfortable, he suddenly heard a deep male voice: "Jingqiao, you can go."

Xiao Jingqiao froze and fell silent. He stood up straight and straightened his back. He walked towards the elevator with his back on his back, but before leaving, he looked at Sang Yao with eyes full of disgust.

Sang Yao pretended to be shocked and kept following Xiao Jingqiao with her eyes.

Xiao Chengxiu stood at the door of his office and looked at her back.

After a while, he took the initiative to break the silence, "Sang Yao, come to my office."

Sang Yao secretly thought, this is not good, this is going to test her on-the-spot reaction. This day, there is no rest at all. Ah, it’s so hard to make money! !

I thought so in my heart, but on the outside, I followed him into the office with doubts and worries.

Xiao Chengxiu didn't look at her and stared at the computer screen. In the end, he didn't let her watch the surveillance videos. He was originally hesitant to tell her the truth about the whole thing. After all, the truth was cruel and she might be hit hard. It was unusual. It was painful, but she was an adult, and he shouldn't help Jingqiao hide it. Jingqiao is very weak now. He cannot hurt others, so he wants to vent all his negative emotions on Sang Yao. The more painful Sang Yao is, the happier he is. He thinks that the current predicament is caused by her.

No matter what, from a human perspective, he should let her know that the person she loved deeply wanted to hurt her all the time.

"The person who brings you breakfast every day is an employee from the sales department. Jingqiao has a good relationship with him."

In just one sentence, the whole thing was explained in a subtle way.

Xiao Chengxiu still didn't look at her.

The atmosphere was so stalemate and silent.

Sang Yao didn't expect Xiao Chengxiu to tell her the truth clearly. She thought he would modify it, but he didn't.

So what should she do that is best for herself?

Are you still going to play with the affectionate dog-licking character and cry like before? No, no, if she cries now, she will look very weak. With Xiao Jingqiao's behavior just now, anyone who is not blind can tell that he was beaten. If she didn't grasp this point correctly, would Xiao Chengxiu think that she was blaming him?

Tears will certainly arouse sympathy from others, but they must be appropriate. Things are rare and valuable. If you cry more often, others will not feel sorry for her, and may even be upset.

Now we must clearly distinguish the priorities. She must perform well this time. This is the first time Xiao Chengxiu has helped her regain her position!

At this moment, brushing up your character is not as important as hugging your thighs!

She knew what to do.

Raising her head again, she looked at Xiao Chengxiu.

Just when Xiao Chengxiu thought she would ask something or shed tears of grievance, he only heard the other party's voice asking softly and seeming to be crying: "Brother, have you eaten?"

Xiao Chengxiu looked at her blankly, Seems very surprised.

"If you have hypoglycemia, you should eat well." Sang Yao pursed her lips, "I have ordered lunch."

After saying this, she turned and walked out. This was rude behavior, but it was very in line with her current mood. , can be said to be a stroke of genius.

Sang Yao quickly returned to her seat, picked up the business package she had ordered, and walked to Xiao Chengxiu's office while brewing her mood.

When she re-entered the office, she did not look at Xiao Chengxiu, fearing that she would make eye contact with him. After all, this was an emergency. She did not practice in advance, fearing that her acting skills would be exposed if her acting skills were not up to standard, so she simply did not confront him. Looking at her, she put down her lunch box and placed a big red apple next to her. She said softly, "Brother, thank you."

She sincerely thanked Xiao Chengxiu.

After seeing too many cases of relatives shielding each other, Xiao Chengxiu's behavior is very valuable. This alone makes his character impeccable.

If the original owner liked Xiao Chengxiu and was engaged to him, then everything would be different.

She believed that Xiao Chengxiu would never hurt her fiancée by trampling on her because of his so-called pursuit of true love.

Sang Yao turned and left without waiting for Xiao Chengxiu's answer.

At this time, if you say too much, you will make a lot of mistakes, so it is better not to say anything at all.

After Sang Yao left and the office became quiet again, no one knew that Xiao Chengxiu was staring at the apple in a daze.

Chapter 24 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 23Next chapter: Chapter 25 After a few days of calm, the sales manager called He Yu to the office alone. She got along well with her employees, so she skipped the official routine and said to He Yu: "There is a notice from above that Jiangcheng Branch The company is short of some key sales people. After comparing the performance and looking at your resumes, the superiors want to send you to be the supervisor. I just thought about it. You are from Jiangcheng and an only child. Now there are better opportunities available. Can you If you are not sure, it depends on your choice."

After being surprised, He Yu quickly calmed down and said, "Sister, let me think about it."

The manager agreed readily, "This is indeed a big matter and needs to be carefully considered. , but you will give me an answer next week at the latest."

"Okay."

He Yu's heart sank after he came out of the manager's office.

What a twist, this is it.

Just when he concluded that there was no male-female relationship between Mr. Xiao and Sang Yao, the superiors issued such an order. If he hadn't seen that scene in the parking lot, he wouldn't have thought so much and would have been ecstatic. After all, this was a rare opportunity, but it was completely different now. He felt that Mr. Xiao must have done it on purpose. He sent away.

Therefore, the relationship between Mr. Xiao and Sang Yao must be the kind of relationship he wants!

He Yu felt like he was reborn after a disaster. Pursuing his girlfriend under Mr. Xiao's nose was really a shame.

However, Mr. Xiao was indeed generous. He knew that he was chasing Sang Yao, so he did not retaliate against him. Instead, he let him leave and gave him such good conditions and opportunities.

He Yu felt that he could not toast without having to drink fine wine, not to mention that he had always wanted to go back to be with his parents. The housing prices in Beijing were unattainable, but Jiangcheng was different. It was developing slowly now, and his parents also gave him He bought a house, and the branch office had just been established. He used to be the head of the sales department, and he was a veteran at the head office. As long as he worked hard, his future would be bright.

What's wrong with that?

Things were not what He Yu thought. Xiao Chengxiu also had his own considerations. Now He Yu obviously didn't know that Sang Yao was Jing Qiao's fiancée, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to pursue Sang Yao. But the relationship between Jingqiao and Sang Yao is not a secret. If He Yu accidentally finds out one day, the situation will become difficult. In order to get rid of his fiancée, he encouraged his male colleagues to pursue his fiancée while concealing the relationship. If this spread, it would be a scandal. If someone wanted to use this to make a fuss, it would probably have an impact on the Xiao family. .

Xiao Chengxiu, who valued Xiao's face and interests above all else, would not allow such a thing to happen.

He knew that He Yu was uninformed and would resign employees who had been in the company for several years without any reason. This was not his style and would appear to be a lack of distinction between public and private matters. After reading He Yu's resume, he ordered his subordinates to Such a notice was issued to the sales department, and I believe He Yu would not refuse.

He Yu had already made a decision in his heart, and felt a little awkward when he saw Xiao Jingqiao again.

He thought that Xiao Jingqiao must not know about the relationship between Mr. Xiao and Sang Yao, so should he tell him?

This hesitant expression naturally attracted Xiao Jingqiao's attention, and he asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

He Yu remembered Mr. Xiao's methods and image, and quickly shook his head, "It's okay, I just think you These clothes are not bad, where did you buy them? "

He better stop talking. This is a family matter. Mr. Xiao didn't say it. It must be his consideration. Why should he try to make trouble? He really wants to anger the boss. Then a little guy like him will suffer. He might as well happily pack up his things and return to his hometown.

***

A big event happened in the Xiao family in the past two days. Grandma fainted in her old house. At that time, the aunt was outside buying groceries. The old lady was in the bedroom, and another aunt was cleaning. Fortunately, she found He had to be sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The old lady is getting old, her memory has begun to decline, and her body's various functions have also deteriorated. She has no major problems, but a lot of small problems. For an elderly person of this age, it may be serious if she bumps into them normally. .

The old lady's two sons are abroad and won't be back for a while. The old lady herself said that she doesn't want to go to a place she's not familiar with. She knows that she doesn't have much time, and it may be forever tomorrow. If she closed her eyes, she would want to die in her hometown.

Sang Yao is usually not busy at work. At Mrs. Xiao's suggestion, she asked the Human Resources Department for a week's leave.

The old lady likes her very much and is happy to see her. Sang Yao also likes the old lady very much and is naturally willing to accompany her.

There are two aunts. Sang Yao and Mrs. Xiao don’t need to do anything. They just need to talk to the old lady and make her happy. Sang Yao has seen Mrs. Xiao’s eyes red more than once in private. The old lady’s Her mental state goes up and down, and her appetite is not as good as the last time I saw her, and I can't always eat anything. Maybe the old lady really doesn’t have much time left.

This afternoon, Sang Yao pushed the old lady downstairs for a walk. The weather was not as hot as before. The old lady had just woken up, and like a child, she whispered to Sang Yao: "Yao Yao, you keep your word."

Sang Yao was amused by her, "Of course, but I can only taste a few mouthfuls.

" The day before yesterday, she saw someone eating ice cream. She couldn't taste it. She didn't dare to speak to Mrs. Xiao for fear of being rejected, so she secretly told Sang Yao.

Sang Yao went to ask the doctor again, and the doctor said that at the old lady's age, she should try to satisfy whatever she wants and eat, but not too much.

"I want strawberry flavor, I don't like chocolate." The old lady said again.

"Okay."

At the same time, Xiao Chengxiu also postponed the afternoon meeting and drove to the hospital to see his grandma. As soon as he arrived at the ward, his aunt informed Sang Yao that he was pushing his grandma out for a walk. The hospital is not small. Xiao Chengxiu was looking for him below. After looking around, I still couldn't find them. When I was about to call Sang Yao, I looked up and saw them not far away.

Sang Yao asked someone to buy the brand of strawberry ice cream that the old lady liked. He just tore open the package, bent down, and handed it to the old lady's mouth with a smile.

"Sip one bite at a time, don't be greedy."

She stood under the big tree, and the sun shone on her through the shadow of the tree, seeming to have a layer of golden light.

Probably for the convenience of taking care of the old lady, she wore a loose and casual white T-shirt and slim-fitting jeans, looking as clean and pure as a student.

She was very patient and gentle with the old lady. After the old lady took a few bites of the ice cream, she took out a tissue from the small bag and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Even though the Sang family and the Xiao family were family friends, and even though Sang Yao had often been in and out of the Xiao family when she was very young, Xiao Chengxiu was not familiar with her or even a stranger to her before this time.

Of course, she is Jingqiao's fiancée, and his relationship with her should have been a little stranger.

After wiping the corners of the old lady's mouth and wiping her hands, Sang Yao straightened up and saw Xiao Chengxiu standing not far away.

Their eyes met, Xiao Chengxiu subconsciously avoided her gaze, focused his gaze on the old lady, walked over steadily, stood in front of the old lady, and said warmly: "Grandma, are you feeling better today? "

The old lady was still a little guilty. She always felt that she had been caught stealing ice cream. Now she heard that Xiao Chengxiu didn't mention the ice cream, so she thought he hadn't seen it, and she became happy again, "It's much better, I think I will do it tomorrow. Can be discharged."

Xiao Chengxiu naturally walked behind the wheelchair and took over the task of pushing the wheelchair from Sang Yao. Sang Yao also stepped back a little and gave up her position to him. She walked with him about half a meter away.

The old lady had always firmly believed that Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao were a couple. Even if Mrs. Xiao later explained, the old lady thought her daughter was joking with her.

At this moment, seeing his eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law accompanying him, he felt extremely happy.

"That's right, Chengxiu, no matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore Yaoyao. What a good girl, if you don't cherish it, others will come after you." The old lady gave her eldest grandson advice with sincerity. , "You should stay with her more."

Sang Yao has been accompanying the old lady these days, so he is used to her misunderstanding about his relationship with Xiao Chengxiu, and he is very calm now.

Xiao Chengxiu glanced at Sang Yao without any trace, and when he saw that the other party didn't mind, he gave a low expression of gratitude.

With the old lady's current situation, there is no need to press her head to make her accept all the facts and break her inner belief. Even Mrs. Xiao will not explain the relationship between Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao now.

The old lady was holding a child out to bask in the sun, and said in a regretful tone: "The cutest things in the world are children. I just don't know if I am lucky enough to see your child born."

Sang Yao: " ? ? "

She has no problem with misunderstanding her relationship with Xiao Chengxiu, but is she going to start pressuring her to have a child now? This is embarrassing.

The old lady was very optimistic, and became happy again the next second, "Yao Yao is beautiful and fair, and Cheng Xiu is tall. The baby you two will definitely combine your advantages. The girl will be as beautiful and cute as the doll, and the boy will be as beautiful as the doll." He must be very handsome, and I don’t know how many people will be fascinated by him when he grows up.”

Then the old lady began to imagine and describe what the child’s eyebrows were like, what his eyes were like...the image became more and more specific.

Sang Yao was impressed by the old lady's imagination.

Xiao Chengxiu didn't speak, his expression remained as calm as ever.

In this afternoon, the warm sunshine, the green leaves and the words of the old lady penetrated into his heart bit by bit.

No one can know the various scenes in his mind, and no one knows his mood. Only the hands on the wheelchair, slowly clenched, slightly revealed one thousandth of his truth.

Chapter 25 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 24Next chapter: Chapter 26 When Xiao Jingqiao saw Shen Lu again, it was in the hospital.

He originally wanted to come to see his grandmother, but as soon as he arrived at the hospital parking lot, he saw Shen Lu getting out of the car. Shen Lu was not idle at work, and Xiao Jingqiao would only come out two or three times out of ten times when Xiao Jingqiao asked her. However, the two often chatted on WeChat. Shen Lu's witty remarks and Shen Lu's understanding made Xiao Jingqiao feel like spring breeze.

"Lulu, what's wrong with your hand?" Xiao Jingqiao looked at Shen Lu's hand wrapped with gauze and asked with concern.

Shen Lu put his hands behind his back unnaturally, "No, it's nothing."

Xiao Jingqiao's face turned serious, "Aren't we friends? You don't even want to tell me this?"

Under Xiao Jingqiao's questioning , Shen Lu reluctantly told the truth, "It's not a big deal. Mr. Zhou was not very happy during this time because of the company's affairs, so he had a few quarrels with Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was also in a bad mood, and she accidentally He spilled hot water on my hand. I come to the hospital every day to change the dressing. It won't take long."

Xiao Jingqiao accompanied Shen Lu to change the dressing. He was still saying on the way, "Why did it happen to be spilled on your hand like that? Come on, did she do it on purpose?"

Shen Lu's eyes were a little dodgey.

After Xiao Jingqiao discovered this sensitively, he asked her again, "Is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

Shen Lu had no choice but to say: "I heard that the Zhou family had cooperated with the Xiao family some time ago. The company said that the contract would not be renewed after it expired. Many people speculated that Mr. Zhou even visited Mr. Xiao in person, but Mr. Xiao did not relent. Mr. Zhou was not very happy and quarreled with Mrs. Zhou when he got home. After a few words, Mrs. Zhou felt that I was the one causing trouble because I have a good relationship with you. It was really baffling. How could a cooperation project between two companies change because of a small role like me? But Zhou. My wife later apologized to me and gave me half a month of paid leave.

"What does this have to do with you?" Xiao Jingqiao was also confused.

Shen Lu glanced at Xiao Jingqiao carefully, "Didn't you hear the rumors? It was said that Zhou Qingyan and I had that kind of relationship. Mrs. Zhou thought that I was trying to help him, so she got in the way. But things in the mall are not like this. Simple."

When Zhou Qingyan was mentioned, Xiao Jingqiao didn't look very good, but he still knew the priorities and said with some distress: "Mrs. Zhou is really unreasonable this time, like a psycho."

When it came time to change the dressing, After the doctor removed the gauze, Xiao Jingqiao felt even more distressed when he saw the blisters and scars on his hands. Shen Lu was very strong and did not say a word when the dressing was changed.

After changing the medicine, Xiao Jingqiao asked Shen Lu, "Don't you feel pain?"

Shen Lu smiled and said, "If you get used to it, you won't feel the pain anymore."

Xiao Jingqiao felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

He knew that Shen Lu was not living well in the Zhou family.

"Do you want to stay with that crazy woman all the time?" Xiao Jingqiao asked again, "With your ability, you can definitely find a good job outside. As long as you need it, I can introduce you to work in any company."

Shen Lu smiled and said, "No, I have saved some money in the past few years and plan to open a company of my own."

Xiao Jingqiao was surprised, "You want to open your own company?"

After explaining it to Xiao Jingqiao in detail, he said with some distress, "It's just that the bank is very slow in approving loans now. I don't know when it will be completed. Mrs. Zhou also has a good relationship with the bank, and I Now I am afraid that she will put pressure on me. "

In Xiao Jingqiao's life of more than 20 years, money was not the only problem.

The girl he liked was worried about money, and he happened to be rich. Without thinking, he said, "How much money do I need?"

Shen Lu said a number.

Xiao Jingqiao: "It's just a small amount of money. Don't get any bank loans. I'll give it to you."

"How can this be done?" After Shen Lu shied away for a while, he thought of a good idea, "If you are really interested, just invest and become a shareholder." ."

Xiao Jingqiao looked at Shen Lu's expectant and delighted eyes, and nodded readily, "Okay, you are the boss, and I am the second boss."

Shen Lu lowered his head and smiled.

***

Xiao Jingqiao has been in love for some time. Originally, Mrs. Xiao thought that he was just obsessed with him for a while, but now instead of softening, his attitude has become more and more fierce and firm. This gives Mrs. Xiao a very headache, especially next month. Her best friend Mrs. Sang is coming to Beijing, and her friend will definitely be able to tell the difference. How should she handle this matter?

That day, Mrs. Xiao was sorting through her past things and found a photo album, most of which were photos of Xiao Jingqiao and Sang Yao when they were young.

At that time they were young, simple, happy and carefree.

Mrs. Xiao really felt sorry for Sang Yao. She closed the photo album and pinched the bridge of her nose. In fact, she should know that Jingqiao's temperament has always been like this, very stubborn, and it is difficult to change things she has determined. I'm afraid Yaoyao also It’s hard to wait any longer for Jingqiao to change his mind. From her point of view, she certainly hopes that Yaoyao can be her daughter-in-law, but as a person who has been there, she knows best that Jingqiao married Yaoyao under their pressure. I am afraid that Yaoyao will be even more miserable than she is now. The pain is excruciating.

Although in this circle, there are not couples who don't get along well with each other, but they are also using each other to form alliances. Yaoyao is not like this. She loves Jingqiao deeply. Jingqiao's neglect and change of heart are very important to her. , is the greatest torture.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Xiao simply called Xiao Chengxiu back to discuss the matter.

"Chengxiu, your father doesn't care about anything now. You are the master of this family. What suggestions do you have for this matter?"

Xiao Chengxiu subconsciously tensed up his body, but he still said calmly: "It depends on the two of them. Personal opinions, when the two sides agree, they will sit down to discuss and find a foolproof solution, which will at least gain the understanding of the Sang family."

"The key now is that they don't agree with each other," Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Forget it. Let me talk to Yaoyao, Jingqiao is no longer worthy of her, and if she continues like this, she will be delayed."

Xiao Chengxiu remained silent.

"By the way," Mrs. Xiao looked at her son again, "Do you have someone you like now?"

Mrs. Xiao was still thinking about the lottery Nanling Temple asked for. It said that her eldest son could get married by the end of next year at the latest. Every time she thinks about this, she feels better.

She was more worried about her eldest son than her second son.

He's thirty years old and doesn't even have a girlfriend. How can he not be worried?

Xiao Chengxiu's eyes were on the little rabbit doll keychain on the coffee table.

Mrs. Xiao followed his gaze and explained with a smile: "Yao Yao gave it to me." She paused and then said, "Don't change the subject. Do you have someone you like now?" "

No. ." His expression was very natural, the same as when he answered this question many times in the past.

Mrs. Xiao was a little disappointed, "You're just too busy. In fact, I don't have high requirements for my daughter-in-law. As long as you like it, anyone is fine."

"Anyone is fine?" Xiao Chengxiu asked.

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Of course, as long as you like it."

Xiao Chengxiu lowered his head and smiled. If Mrs. Xiao could see his expression, she could see how weak his smile was.

After that, Mrs. Xiao talked to Sang Yao and briefly explained what she meant. She wanted to hear Sang Yao's true thoughts.

Sang Yao's real idea is to get money and become a rich woman. She is really afraid of poverty.

However, this cannot be said clearly. Mrs. Xiao is doing it for her own good. She is not a ungrateful person, but it is impossible for her to give up Jinshan, which is only one step away from her.

She didn't know if there was such a paragraph in the original work. After all, the author didn't describe the Xiao family's situation in detail.

Sang Yao thought for a while and said in a sad tone: "When I was a child, we played house. I was the bride and Jingqiao was the groom. From that time on, my dream was to marry him and become his wife. Although his current thoughts are different from My mood has changed, but I still want to wait for him."

Sang Yao originally wanted to add, "If Xiao Jingqiao doesn't want to marry her, then she will never get married in this life," but seeing Mrs. Xiao's concerned look, she swallowed it. That’s it.

It’s better not to make a fuss easily. If the plot changes and Xiao Jingqiao doesn’t die for the heroine, then everything will have to be reset.

Of course, she must have been prepared when this kind of plot happened. Although she has traveled through the world, she will never follow the same path as the original owner, nor will she accept that ending.

Mrs. Xiao felt uncomfortable when she saw Sang Yao saying these words with red eyes. She couldn't persuade her any more, so she could only stand on her side and try her best to make her second son change her mind.

Summer has passed quietly, and the autumn rains have come one after another, washing away the heat of the city.

Before Mrs. Xiao was about to go to sleep, she received a call from her eldest son.

She was a little surprised because her eldest son was busy with work and emotionally reserved, so he didn't call her often.

After casually chatting about some family matters, Mrs. Xiao thought of her conversation with Sang Yao and said, "I really don't know what to do now. Yaoyao has too deep feelings for Jing Qiao. She said she only wanted to marry Jing Qiao." , Although Jingqiao hurt her, she still wants to wait for him, eh, what should I do?"

Xiao Chengxiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study room of the apartment. It was raining heavily in Beijing at the moment, and he looked at the rain. The ground washed against the window, his expression calm and calm.

Listening to the mother on the other end of the phone talking about how Sang Yao likes Jingqiao and how Jingqiao doesn't live up to expectations, he didn't interrupt.

There is also a crystal box on the desk in the study. There is an apple in the box. It must have been there for a while, and the skin of the apple is a little wrinkled.

The cleaning lady also thought it was strange when she was cleaning. It was just an ordinary apple. Why should it be packed in a crystal box? ? The world of rich people is indeed incomprehensible to ordinary people.
