He suddenly became distracted, subconsciously reached out and grabbed a stack of documents to cover it, rubbed his face, and then called out, "Come in."
Liao Shiyun opened the door and came in with a bowl of soup.
Seeing that his expression was not right, his eyes were red, his brows were furrowed, and he asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Bai Shaofeng tried to calm down, and a tiny smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Nothing. Some machines broke recently, and I wanted to buy some from Country R. They asked for a very high price, and I got mad."
Upon hearing this, Liao Shiyun could only calm him down. After all, this was not something she could control.
"Drink your soup first, and don't bother with those people. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt."
"Yeah." Bai Shaofeng took the soup bowl, took a sip, then looked up and smiled at her reassuringly, "You should go and rest first."
Liao Shiyun did not leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, "I have something to ask you."
Bai Shaofeng paused while scooping the soup, then asked, "What's the matter?"
"As we said before, can the resumption of the college entrance examination be confirmed this year?"
Bai Shaofeng gritted his teeth, then slowly put down his gun and nodded, "It should be possible next year, but I can't be sure of the time yet."
Hearing this, Liao Shiyun was immediately happy and relieved, patting her chest, "That's good, then you must keep an eye on her. No matter where Qiao Qiao gets admitted, you must tell me the first time. That girl is 21 years old this year, and girls only have a few years of blooming season. Fortunately, the college entrance examination can be resumed, otherwise, at least next year, we have to get her to the city first no matter what."
Bai Shaofeng looked at his wife's face, which was filled with relief, guilt, and heartache, and his hands on his legs unconsciously clenched tightly.
Liao Shiyun talked for a long time and found that her husband had not responded. She turned around and saw that he seemed to be in a daze, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Lao Shao? Lao Shao!"
Bai Shaofeng came back to his senses, "Huh? What happened?"
Then he realized that something was wrong with him, and raised his hand to pinch his brows, "I was just thinking about something."
Liao Shiyun frowned. Unfortunately, she couldn't help with this matter. She could only sigh and said, "Don't worry too much. Take a rest first."
"You go first, I have something urgent to do here."
"Okay." Knowing that her husband always took a rigorous and responsible attitude towards his work, she did not persuade him anymore. She just told him to go to bed early and left.
As soon as Liao Shiyun came out and peeked outside the corridor, Bai Ruoyao trotted over and pulled her mother to the stairs.
"Mom, how are you? Are you okay? Did Dad really know that my second brother went to find Qiao Qiao to cause trouble?"
The soundproofing in the room was not very good. Although no one could hear the talking, everyone heard the sound of Bai Shaofeng smashing the table.
It just so happened that they recently received a letter from Bai Juntao, saying that the business trip location was not far from where the younger sister went to the countryside, and that the work had already been completed, so they wanted to sneak over to take a look.
Since receiving the letter, the mother and daughter have been feeling excited but nervous at the same time, and they dare not tell their father/father about it.
The main reason is that they are also harboring a hope in their hearts that someone is finally going to break this stalemate. Maybe everything is not as bad as they imagined. Maybe there will be a good result?
Author's words:
From the comments, many people don't understand why the Bai family was unaware of their daughter's murder. I have explained this before. In short, a matter is not as simple as the cause and the result. There are many complex factors involved, and I cannot spoil the details.
The follow-up will be slowly unravelled, there is no need to rush. In fact, Qiao Qiao only saw the surface of many things in her previous life, and there are many things she does not know about, including the truth behind the deaths of Zhao Sihai and An An, which will all be revealed through this incident.
In her previous life, Qiao Qiao lived in Truman's world. She was just an ordinary person, so she could only be stuck in the quagmire created by others. But this time she was reborn, she had the qualifications and the ability to foresee, so she could pry open the background board and take a different path, and those "directors" behind her would be drawn out because they couldn't sit still.
In addition, although Qiao Qiao was reborn, she was still an ordinary person, not an omnipotent god. Just like in her previous life, she had a system, was the richest man in the world, and had a high status in the country, but she still didn't even have the permission to investigate what Zhao Sihai did before he retired from the army.
I can understand how some of the characters feel when they see Qiao Qiao feeling frustrated, but after all, we are writing about humans, not gods. If she could start by killing everyone in the countryside or even directly kill everyone in North City, then this story might have to be labeled "revenge". The main storyline of our Qiao Qiao is still to pursue a career, make a lot of money, and rebuild her business empire.
