However, prosperity also hid a crisis: the owner was old with no succes...

Chapter 128 Big Brother Confession

Chapter 128 Big Brother Confession

Cui Huiyi held the sandwich in her hand and carefully thought about what he said.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be waiting for something.

Thinking about her father's accident, Qiao Junshen has been with her all the time. Recently, he has been finding excuses from time to time to ask her out for dinner and chat with her. She also noticed that there was something behind his words.

Cui Huiyi asked: "If I say it's not appropriate for you to go, will you still go?"

Obviously Qiao Junshen didn't expect this answer. His voice was already tired, and now it sounded even more disappointed: "Forget it then."

"Why do you just let it go?" Cui Huiyi asked back.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Qiao Junshen seemed to notice the change in her tone.

Cui Huiyi said, "Can't you find another excuse? For example, your mother was afraid that those two kids might do something bad, so she asked you to watch over them."

Qiao Junshen's voice suddenly changed, and his tone was very cheerful: "I am not the father-in-law of the Jingshifang, so I have to take care of these things. They are called children, but they are all adults. How can I, as a brother, take care of them? I am accompanying my girlfriend on a business trip. I wonder if she wants to take me with her?"

Although Cui Huiyi had just turned around, the word "girlfriend" still made her heart tremble. The sandwich fell on the table and she coughed: "It's nothing, right? Just don't affect my work."

The receiver seemed to have been put down, but the other party's voice could still be heard: "Ms. Xuan, have you made an appointment in Barcelona? Please make an appointment for me at 9 pm. Have them call my study at home and I will get the details."

"Hello!"

Cui Huiyi heard his voice again. Qiao Junshen said, "I want to have dinner. Does my girlfriend want to go to dinner with me?"

Cui Huiyi couldn't help laughing when he asked, "Are you home? I'll pick you up."

"Let me come to see you! This way you can go home directly to handle business after dinner." Cui Huiyi said.

Qiao Junshen said, "No, no, no, it's our first official date. If I don't come to pick you up, you'll remember it for the rest of your life, just like my mom did."

"All right!"

Cui Huiyi hung up the phone. She saw herself in the glass of the bar. She went to the court to listen to the trial today. She was wearing a gray business suit. She had just eaten a sandwich and her lipstick was wiped off. Would it be inappropriate to go on a date with her boyfriend like this?

Cui Huiyi went into the cloakroom and picked out an olive green dress with a sleeveless V-neck, which made her neck look very long. She opened her jewelry box and chose an emerald necklace, with three emeralds from small to large arranged from top to bottom to her chest. The earrings were also of the same style.

Cui Huiyi put on makeup in front of the mirror. After finishing her makeup, she looked at her overall look carefully, but found that the necklace pendant was too long and the direction was too obvious.

She was about to take off the necklace when she heard the doorbell. She walked out, opened the door, and the first thing she saw was a bouquet of white roses. Then she looked up at Qiao Junshen's smiling face.

She took the rose and saw Qiao Junshen looking at her intently, so Cui Huiyi felt a little embarrassed.

"very beautiful."

Cui Huiyi took a step back: "Sit for a while, I'll go change a necklace."

Qiao Junshen's eyes fell on her chest: "The necklace matches well."

After saying that, he immediately looked away and said, "How about changing to the pearl one? I think that's fine too."

Did he remember wearing a pearl necklace? Cui Huiyi went in to change her necklace. Her South Sea white pearl necklace, with its cold white color and silver-blue light, was indeed very beautiful. She put on the necklace.

Thinking of the way Qiao Junshen looked at her chest and then turned his head away, wasn't this just reminding him to look?

Cui Huiyi slapped her forehead and thought to herself, what a stupid person she is!

She picked up her bag and came out and said, "Let's go!"

As soon as they stepped out of the house, Qiao Junshen motioned for her to hook his arm. Normally, she would only hook his arm on those occasions.

Cui Huiyi hooked her arm around his, and the two took the elevator downstairs together. Qiao Junshen asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever! I'm not going to eat radishes or attend a meeting today anyway."

"Eat German food? I went there with my colleagues a few days ago and it was delicious. I wanted to take you there when I ate there."

Cui Huiyi suddenly realized, "Did you think so at that time?"

"Yes! Isn't it normal to want to share something delicious with your girlfriend?" Qiao Junshen said as a matter of course.

The two got out of the elevator and went to the parking lot. Qiao Junshen opened the car door and Cui Huiyi sat in the passenger seat.

Cui Huiyi turned her head to look at Qiao Junshen. She was a little suspicious that when she proposed to be his fake girlfriend that day, did he already have an idea?

I want to know, but I can't ask so directly, right?

"Qiao Junshen."

"Um?"

"Let me tell you, Ningning told me that she made a huge mistake."

"What?"

"When your family went to Baohualou for dinner, her eel was cooked so well that it punctured your grandfather's fantasy that your grandmother fell in love with him at first sight. She also said that you said at that time that she 'cooked the food so well.' She didn't understand what you meant." Cui Huiyi brought up a topic.

Qiao Junshen laughed out loud: "I know Junxian is stupid, and I always thought Ningning was extremely smart. I didn't expect that the two of them together are equally stupid. Do you think she must make the dish authentically? But it's useless to expose it. My grandfather found a new plan and said that when he went back to Suzhou for the second time, my grandmother was waiting for him on the bridge. When she saw him, she ran over and called him 'brother'. He completed it again."

Cui Huiyi laughed and said, "Your grandfather can do it."

"My dad is the same. My mom exposes him once, and he always finds a good excuse next time. My mom is too lazy to pay attention to him now, so let him think whatever he wants, okay!" Qiao Junshen smiled helplessly.

Cui Huiyi leaned back in her chair and said, "I told Ningning to be careful, because Junxian would definitely say that she fell in love with him at first sight. She swore that it was impossible! Because Junxian said that he wouldn't do that."

"How is that possible? Let me tell you, Ningning fell in love with Junxian at first sight, and there's proof of that from the show recording." Qiao Junshen said with a smile.

Cui Huiyi smiled: "That's right! What about us? What will you think in the future?"

As the car passed the traffic light, Qiao Junshen glanced at her sideways: "Whenever I think of your stupid head, what else can I say? How many times have I hinted and made it clear? But you didn't respond, and I thought you were playing dumb."

"It was obviously you who didn't explain it clearly enough, why do you blame me? Besides, didn't we all laugh at Cai Zhiyuan for being a rabbit eating grass in his own backyard? A subordinate like Sophie is more suitable to be a good work partner. If they are grass in their own backyard, what are we? Our friendship can be traced back to the days of opening the crotch. Who would have thought that you would have such an idea?" Cui Huiyi said

"Cui Huiyi, childhood sweethearts have always been praised since ancient times. How come you say that they have no feelings?"

Cui Huiyi was secretly proud of herself and asked, "When did you have feelings for me?"

Qiao Junshen drove seriously: "Guess."

"Qiao Junshen." Cui Huiyi shouted in dissatisfaction.

Qiao Junshen had already parked the car. He walked over quickly, opened the door, and held out his hand to her.

Cui Huiyi took his hand and got out of the car, and Qiao Junshen closed the door.

The two of them walked into this newly opened German restaurant and found a seat by the window. Qiao Junshen handed the menu to Cui Huiyi, who said, "You've eaten here before, so you order!"

"You are used to Ningning's roasted meat, so their roasted pork elbow will be just so-so. The skin is not that crispy." Qiao Junshen ordered a portion of roasted spareribs, slightly spicy, a sausage platter, and a potato meatball. Qiao Junshen ordered a beer for Cui Huiyi, "Their beer tastes great."

"You don't want to drink?"

"I have official business tonight," said Qiao Junshen.

Qiao Junshen ordered the food and asked, "By the way, how many years was Yu Wanmei sentenced to?"

"Eleven years and nine months is a harsh sentence beyond expectations."

"It was the overwhelming public opinion that led to this result," said Qiao Junshen.

"If we consider the evil she has done, even life imprisonment would be too easy for her. How many people have suffered because of her?" Cui Huiyi shook her head. "Every time I go back to the mansion, I feel indescribable pain, thinking of those days with my mother."

"Then go less often. Just let the family doctor and the servants accompany your father. He has never been emotionally involved with you and your sister, so you don't have to care too much about him." Qiao Junshen comforted her. "Of course, it's hard for people who haven't had the same experience to fully understand this feeling, and it's also hard to make the right judgment for you. We can only comfort you from our perspective."

"It's already passed. I just saw it and felt a sense of emotion for a moment."

The grilled sausages may have been cooked for a long time, as they came out very quickly. There were five different kinds of sausages on a wooden plate, as well as a fist-sized piece of sauerkraut and pickles.

The drinks were also served together, and the waiter thought the men had wine and the women had soda, so he put them in the wrong place.

Qiao Junshen changed the drink back, cut a sausage, gave half to Cui Huiyi and put the other half on his own plate.

Cui Huiyi eats sausages with sauerkraut and pickles: "It tastes really good, almost the same as what I had in Munich!"

"Yes, I feel the same way."

Cui Huiyi took a sip of beer and said, "This beer is good. It tastes very refreshing."

"Yeah?"

"You've never drunk it?" Cui Huiyi asked.

Qiao Junshen smiled and said, "I had another drink last time, and my colleague praised it as delicious, so I ordered this one for you."

"Would you like to try it?"

Qiao Junshen picked up her cup, lowered his head and took a sip, feeling it: "It is indeed clearer."

Cui Huiyi watched Qiao Junshen put the cup in front of her very naturally.

Have they been able to share a glass of wine? Cui Huiyi wanted to ask.

At this time, the grilled ribs came up, and Qiao Junshen cut the ribs for her: "This rib is salty, sweet and slightly spicy, very delicious. After you have been to the mainland a few times, you can already eat spicy food."

Cui Huiyi didn't want to ask anymore and lowered her head to eat the ribs. It was obvious that he was observing her and knew her taste.

Do you still drink the beer he drank? Drink it! We are now boyfriend and girlfriend.

The spare ribs tasted good, the potato balls tasted good too, and there were several pieces of sausage, plus a glass of beer. Cui Huiyi, who usually only ate one or two bites of dinner when she had no social engagements, ate at least half a month's worth of meat today.

"A little dessert?"

Hearing this, Cui Huiyi shook her head and said, "No, I'm tired of eating."

Qiao Junshen had also finished eating, and he said, "Let's go!"

Cui Huiyi got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Her already tight dress started to get tight because of dinner. Maybe it was because she drank too much or she was too full, she felt a little sleepy.

Qiao Junshen looked at Cui Huiyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat with rosy cheeks, closed eyes and slightly upturned lips. She was no longer as sharp as usual and was a particularly lovely girl.

They drove all the way to her door and Qiao Junshen pinched her cheek: "We're home."

Cui Huiyi opened her eyes: "I actually fell asleep."

"Yeah, I slept pretty well."

Cui Huiyi let out a breath, unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

She wanted Qiao Junshen not to get off the car, but Qiao Junshen had already gotten off and stood beside her. Cui Huiyi said, "Go back! We have to make an overseas call later! No matter how troublesome the matter is, it's just a matter of making money. If you can't make money today, there's still tomorrow. Don't stay up late."

"Got it." Qiao Junshen smiled and put his arm around her waist, saying in her ear, "Girlfriend, we're on a date."

After saying that, he looked at her. Cui Huiyi was puzzled. She saw him lower his head, and his lips touched hers and kissed her.

Qiao Junshen smiled after the kiss: "Go up! You should go to bed early too."

After being kissed by him, Cui Huiyi felt a sweet feeling in her heart. She lowered her head and smiled as she went upstairs.

She opened the door and the phone at home was ringing loudly. She picked up the phone and Aunt Fang, the servant of the mansion, said, "Second Miss, come to the mansion quickly. The eldest young master is making a fuss!"

Is he causing trouble?

Cui Huiyi opened the door and hurried downstairs, only to see that Qiao Junshen's car had not left yet.
