Chapter 25
Qiao Ye helped Pei Qing put her things into her home, then leaned against the sycamore tree at the gate of the yard, looking at her with a half-smile, "Why isn't our Miss Pei going to invite me in for a chat?"
Pei Qing, who had originally planned to send her away, felt that it was not right to chase her away, nor was it right not to chase her away.
I had no choice but to invite her into my home.
After what happened just now, Grandma Pei didn't dare to say anything to her.
Although she is a commoner, she knows how to judge people and serve them accordingly.
Qiao Ye's aura just now made her realize that this girl was not someone to be trifled with, so she stuffed her grandson into the room and told him not to go out before she came out of the room.
Seeing Qiao Ye, she quickly put on a flattering smile, "Hey, Xiaoqing, why didn't you tell grandma that you brought your classmates back? Look, grandma didn't even prepare anything."
As he spoke, the old man hurried into the kitchen and took out some snacks from the kitchen.
They are called snacks, but they are just some cakes bought at the market.
These pastries don’t look very fresh. They must have been bought a while ago but not finished yet.
But Pei Qing knew all about these things. There were obviously better ones at home, but her grandmother didn't take them out.
It's obvious that he looks down on Qiao Ye.
Compared with her previous time at the Qiao family, Qiao's mother not only cooked for her, but also stuffed her with so many delicious foods, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Seeing his grandmother taking out these things, Pei Qing smiled awkwardly, and then tried to cover them with his body, but it was completely useless. This was seen by Qiao Ye.
She said nothing but patted her shoulder.
This meaningless action left Pei Qing a little confused.
Then, Qiao also spoke up: "Remember to finish what my mother gave you. Those things don't last long. It's better to finish them as soon as possible."
Pei Qing thought she was just telling her to finish her food quickly, after all, some things do spoil easily over time.
So she nodded, "Okay. I'll be quick."
After saying that, Qiao did not stay here for long, but turned around and drove away quickly.
There was no waiting to see what would happen to the person behind him.
After she left here completely, the car stopped in the small town.
Coincidentally, Fatty Xia called at this time.
She picked up the phone, "What's going on?"
"I heard that our Master Qiao is going to Country M after the New Year, so he asked us brothers to prepare a farewell banquet for you."
Xia Yi chuckled and stated his purpose.
Qiao also snorted, "I understand. You should at least finish the New Year. There won't be much time before the New Year. My dad is going back to Jiangcheng, so you should find another time."
"Ah? Mr. Qiao is coming back?" Fatty Xia's voice was slightly surprised. As the most loyal younger brother who had followed Qiao Ye since childhood, he knew very well what the current situation of their family was.
So now that he heard about this, he was still a little worried.
He had only met Qiao Ye's father a few times, and each time the man left him with the impression of a stern, majestic, and serious father. He hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Then could you please tell me when you are free? So I can arrange for someone."
"After the eighth day of the New Year," Qiao also said.
She looked behind her in the rearview mirror and saw a figure flash by.
She noticed it the moment she came in. As soon as she came in, she was being stared at.
But she doesn't have time to take care of these things now.
Joe also drove back home.
When she returned, there was already a car parked in front of her house.
She was very familiar with this car, it was her father's exclusive car.
Sure enough, after she parked the car, she saw Uncle Zhang walking out of the room.
When Qiao's mother saw the man come back, she looked very happy and kept talking about what had happened recently.
Qiao also watched this scene and suddenly felt that her mother didn't seem to be very sad.
In the past, she always felt sad because she did not love her husband and was not close to her children.
So within reason, she would meet all her mother's requests.
But now it seems that although her father does not love her mother, he is a qualified father, as he himself said.
At least, he doesn't get impatient when faced with his mother's nagging.
Qiao also sorted himself out briefly, then said, "I'm planning to go to Country M after the New Year. What do you think?"
As soon as she said this, the woman who had been so excited just now immediately looked at her with a worried look on her face. "When did you make this decision? Have you told your father?"
The purpose of her saying this was very clear, she wanted Qiao Yang to stop her.
But the man obviously understands his daughter better.
He paused as he took off his suit and said something completely irrelevant, "I heard from your mom that you brought back a friend?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you wait until I come back to see you?"
"My friend, I don't think you need to meet him." Qiao Ye's voice was light.
"I know many of your friends." The man said this with profound meaning.
However, Qiao immediately understood the meaning of his words. She stared into the man's eyes, trying to figure out his true meaning through them.
But the man didn't intend to continue this topic, and instead started talking about something else, "Who are you planning to go to Country M with? I don't think you're going to Country M on your own."
"He Shanyi."
As soon as this name came out, Qiao Yang knew why she wanted to go to Country M.
"Have you found a school yet?"
"Scholedo University."
“When did you apply?”
"A long time ago. It's not really an application."
Qiao Yang paused for a moment. This was his daughter, and he was very familiar with her.
Of course, he knew that she had many strange and eccentric ways.
Because nothing serious happened, he didn't interfere too much.
But today was the first time he looked his daughter in the eye.
Only to find out that she was already an adult.
And he didn't even attend her coming-of-age ceremony.
"Just take care of yourself."
The matter was settled so easily by the man.
Seeing this situation, Qiao's mother immediately took his hand and said anxiously, "But Country M is in chaos right now. If you let Xiaoye go alone, wouldn't that be pushing her into the fire pit?"
Qiao Yang patted her hand soothingly, "If she can't even do such a small thing, then she doesn't deserve to be my daughter, Qiao Yang."
As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Ye and asked, "Are you familiar with the laws of Country M?"
Qiao also nodded: "I know a thing or two."
"It's good to know the general idea. You need to learn to use the rules to protect yourself and make profits for yourself." The man said.
"I see."
At this moment, a knock on the door attracted the attention of both father and daughter.
"Sir, Madam, Miss. Dinner is ready." Uncle Zhang said.
"I see."
Mother Qiao was still a little worried, "Xiaoye, why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me? What will happen to me if you leave?"
"You and him should go back to the capital. Aren't all your good friends in the capital?" Qiao also comforted her. "Besides, I won't be there for long. At most, it will only be a few years."
"But I may not be able to see you for several years. What if you are bullied, I won't even know..." The woman pulled the corner of her clothes awkwardly.
"Don't worry. She won't." Qiao Yang walked over and sat down at the dining table. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's celebrate the New Year first. Even if we go to Country M, it will be after the New Year."
The man's words made the woman sit next to him. She looked at Qiao Ye from time to time, still worried about this matter, "What will you do at University A? Drop out?"
"Just quit. If I can pass the exam once, I can pass it a second time." Qiao didn't really care about the academic qualifications.
For her, it doesn’t matter whether she has a degree from University A or not.
It's just the experience in college.
"Have you said goodbye to Xiaochen? She is your best friend."
"I'll tell her later."
Every time Qiao's mother asked a question, Qiao answered it.
The whole table didn't seem very cold.
Only Qiao Yang just ate quietly and did not participate in their conversation.
Her decision to go to Country M after the new year was thus made.
Although Qiao's mother was unwilling, she had no choice.
Because this was a decision made between the two of them, she had no choice but to obey.
"Okay, Mom." Qiao was also a little helpless. "I will come back during the holidays. It's not like I'm always in Country M."
"I was just wondering, since you've been studying right next to home, why did you want to go abroad? If you wanted to go abroad, why didn't you go right after the college entrance exam?"
"Isn't this just because plans cannot keep up with changes?" Joe also smiled.
This year is one of the few times that their family will get together to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Therefore, even though she decided to go to Country M, it still couldn't hide Qiao's mother's very happy mood.
Qiao Yang also has business in Country M, so even there, the most basic security can be met.
Qiao also looked out the window and saw that many families outside had lit up red lanterns.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
Her phone vibrated beside her, and she glanced down.
The note above is: K.
She was still a little surprised when she saw the name.
After all, the last time they contacted each other was when she went to Beijing during the National Day holiday, but she didn't see this guy at that time.
Unexpectedly, only three months had passed and he still came to see her.
"Hello. What's going on?" She answered the phone.
"Hello. I've been having a really bad time lately. I apologize for breaking your promise on October 1st."
"What do you want to say?"
"I heard you were going to Country M. I've prepared a surprise gift package for you there."
