Chapter 143
Zhong Qiao ate a piece of peach cake and drank a cup of tea to relieve the greasiness. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and smiled: "Perhaps this person has great ambitions."
Alan was the oldest among the girls. She curled her lips and didn't take it seriously.
She has a cousin who is serving in the camp. He has been a soldier for so many years but has not made a name for himself. This young man was able to become the battalion commander in such a short time. His family background must have contributed to this. To put it bluntly, he is just a show-off and it is not uncommon.
After resting for a while, the girls went to work. Zhong Qiao took the remaining packed peach cakes and decided to go home to share them with her parents, and also give another pack to Mrs. Qian.
It is said that since she bought the second-hand sewing machine, Mrs. Qian often goes out. She has a happy face every day, as if something good has happened to her, and she hums a song.
At first, Zhong Qiao was still guessing, but later she accidentally saw Qian Sanyi and his wife taking Qian Sao shopping. Qian Sao was wearing brand new clothes, and the family of three was having a great time. She suddenly understood what was going on.
Zhong Qiao didn't dare to disturb her, so he usually just bought some delicious food outside and gave some to Mrs. Qian.
"Sister, sit tight." Zhong Siqi had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhong Qiao get on the back seat, she couldn't wait to step on the wheel and prepare to go home.
"Slow down." Zhong Qiao couldn't help but frown.
Since this child reached adolescence, his personality has become reckless and impulsive. He is no longer as calm as he was when he was little. He rides his bike so fast. What if he hits someone?
"It's okay, sister." Zhong Siqi said nonchalantly, "Apart from us, there's usually no one on this road."
Zhong Qiao pinched the flesh on his lower back fiercely: "Even then, go slower. If something happens, can you afford to pay for it?"
Zhong Siqi let out a wail and slowed down. Unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly appeared at the corner.
Before Zhong Qiao could see who it was, he heard a sudden brake sound, followed by a strong impact. Zhong Qiao felt that his face was about to hit Zhong Siqi's back and get swollen.
Zhong Siqi was so panicked, but he quickly let go of the bicycle and half of it flipped over. Fortunately, he stomped his feet on the ground and stopped it in time.
On the ground, there was a man sitting.
He looked quite frightened.
Regardless of his inner panic, Zhong Qiao quickly ran over to check on the other person's condition.
Zhong Siqi's voice was a little weak: "Sister, I braked and definitely didn't hit him."
It doesn't matter whether someone was hit or not. What matters is that the person was scared. There are no surveillance cameras in the alleys these days. If the other party claims a large sum of money, they will have to pay compensation even if they didn't do it.
Zhong Qiao tried to regain his composure and turned to Zhong Siqi, saying, "I know it's not you. Don't worry about it for now. Help him up first."
Zhong Siqi nodded randomly and helped her to help the person on the ground up.
God knows that a person suddenly appeared in this alley where there was never anyone on weekdays, which scared him to death. He finally calmed down. If this person had a heart disease, or a minor or serious illness, he would not be able to pay for it even if he lost his pants.
"I'm sorry, big brother." Zhong Siqi touched his head and apologized, "I didn't scare you, did I?"
Zhong Qiao followed and helped him up: "My brother is ignorant. Come, you get up first. If you have any scratches, we will accompany you to the hospital."
Although they said that, Zhong Qiao and the others knew that it would be difficult to touch each other at the distance just now, and they were probably scared.
The other party slowly raised his head, met Zhong Qiao's eyes, and said, "Zhong Qiao, long time no see."
Zhong Qiao and Zhong Siqi were both stunned.
Xu Shaojun?
How come he is here?
Xu Shaojun stood up and looked down at Zhong Qiao who was still in a daze. He scanned Zhong Qiao's face, clothes, and carefully groomed hairstyle one by one. His eyes flashed with surprise, and then disbelief, regret, and resentment.
These years, after Zhong Qiao divorced him, he had a very hard time. He thought Zhong Qiao would regret it, so he kept waiting, waiting for Zhong Qiao to bow to him.
Unexpectedly, there was no news from Zhong Qiao. He realized it later and looked for her everywhere like crazy. However, Zhong Qiao was like a stone sinking into the sea. No matter how depressed he was and how much he harassed the wives in the factory, no one knew Zhong Qiao's whereabouts.
If Xu Lili hadn't suddenly run back home and said that she had seen Zhong Qiao, he would never have believed it even if he was beaten to death. It turned out that Zhong Qiao had not left at all and was still in Suzhou.
Right under my nose.
A kind of joy at regaining what he had lost made him dizzy, and Xu Shaojun forced a terrifying smile on his face: "Zhong Qiao, as a mother and a wife, you even abandoned your own children and husband, and went off to live a good life. And what about me? I can't afford to continue my studies, and I live in poverty. How can you smile?"
"You've been spending money behind our backs. Have you ever thought about sending money home all these years? Have you ever thought about your son?"
Zhong Qiao looked at him, that familiar face, the face that had troubled her all her life. Beneath the gentle and elegant mask was a devilishly vicious heart. She had finally been able to get rid of this kind of person, but unfortunately, God was blind and made her meet him again!
She felt as if her heart was being strangled by someone at this moment, her heart dropped to her throat, and she could no longer breathe.
"Xu..." She couldn't utter that name, that extremely disgusting name, the name that should have disappeared completely.
"Sister, don't be afraid!" Seeing him was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. At first, she was surprised and frightened, but then anger surged in her heart. "If he dares to get close to you, I will fight him to the death!"
He accepted the help from his family back then and should have thought nothing of it, as his family never asked for anything in return. He never expected that there would be such disgusting people in the world who would eat from their bowl and then look at what was in the pot, and finally even want to break the pot.
When his sister was in critical condition during childbirth, he ignored her and let the lunatic at home bully her. He has not yet settled the score with Xu Shaojun!
"Xu Shaojun, how did you find us?" Zhong Qiao asked after calming down.
Xu Shaojun smiled and took a few steps closer to her: "If my sister hadn't run into you on the street, I wouldn't have known you were so close to me."
He put on a face full of affection: "Qiao Qiao, come back with me. Yaozu can't live without his mother. He misses you very much. Don't you want to see him?"
It's the same trick again.
I always feel that if I hold the child in my hands, I can make her bow her head.
I'm sorry, she has only felt disgust towards them for a long time. Mentioning Yaozu at this time will only make her more cold and sober.
The panic in Zhong Qiao's heart completely disappeared, as if he had regained his sanity in an instant.
She met Xu Shaojun's eyes, her pupils terribly cold, and sneered: "I don't want to."
"Again, I find it disgusting."
