Chapter 28
Joe also bought a plane ticket back before Christmas.
Of course, she returned on Christmas day.
In Country M, Christmas holidays are usually half a month to a month in advance.
She didn't go back immediately, but dragged it out until the day before Christmas.
Kang Lening leaned on her sofa with a paintbrush in her mouth, looking idle.
"You haven't been back home for three years, and you only brought this little stuff? Will you get scolded when you go back..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw an ashtray thrown at him.
If he hadn't been so agile, he would have been hit directly.
"None of your business. Just be a good little painter in Country M."
After saying that, Qiao also picked up his suitcase and walked outside.
Just as I reached the door, she poked her head in and said, "Remember to help me clean the room. Thank you."
After saying that, the door was slammed shut.
Kang Lening: "...He's quite good at commanding people."
Joe also arrived at the airport on time.
Basically, it didn't take long to get ready to board the plane.
Qiao also carried his suitcase and informed his mother about the time he would be back. Then he leaned back in his seat and began to doze off.
The phone vibrated twice, she opened her eyes and glanced at the message on it.
It was sent by He Shanyi: "Did you buy another stock?"
"Um."
"This stock... aren't you afraid that it will explode?" He Shanyi was a little skeptical.
"I bet it's a scam."
After sending this message, He Shanyi stopped sending messages.
Obviously, he agreed with her words.
The plane flew smoothly in the sky.
She looked down at the ground through the plane window.
Now it is no longer visible, only cotton-like white clouds remain.
There is no direct flight from Country M to China, so she has to transfer.
By the time she landed in China, it was already past two in the morning.
She originally planned to take a taxi back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the airport, I saw a familiar car parked at the airport gate.
Qiao also paused slightly, then pulled his suitcase and walked towards there.
Uncle Zhang helped her put her things into the trunk.
The car had a lot of space, and Qiao Yang sat in the back seat, typing away on the computer.
Mother Qiao, who was originally drowsy, woke up immediately after hearing the noise.
He kept looking at her and patted her hands in satisfaction. "Why didn't you come back earlier? I saw that your school was on vacation."
"A bit busy." Joe also said.
She just didn't say what she was busy with.
After hearing her words, Qiao Yang slowly raised his head. His eyes were deep, but Qiao was already able to face this kind of gaze that could penetrate his eyes.
In Country M, if you make the slightest mistake, you will be eaten up.
Seeing her calm and natural look, Qiao Yang nodded, "She has indeed grown a lot."
Apart from that, the only sound in the entire car was the man typing on the keyboard.
Qiao's mother doesn't seem to be in a very good mental state.
Probably because it's already very late.
When they returned, Qiao's mother still managed to say to her: "I will make breakfast for you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, okay."
Qiao's mother returned to the bedroom, leaving only Qiao Yang and Qiao Ye outside.
The man loosened his tie and asked, "How long do you plan to stay in the country?"
"Between half a month and a month."
"What kind of business have you done with that kid from the He family recently?"
Hearing him say this, Joe paused, not understanding what he was going to say for a moment, "What?"
"Your card hasn't had much funds in the past six months. So, what kind of business did you do with that kid from the He family?"
"Oh. Nothing much. Just started a few small businesses and made a little money."
Qiao Yang looked at her thoughtfully without saying anything.
Qiao Ye's heart suddenly stopped. Before she could say anything, she heard the man say, "That's nothing. As long as what you did is legal, there's nothing to say. Take a rest first, and adjust your biological clock by the way."
"Okay." Joe also nodded.
＊
Joe also adjusted his biological clock for a week.
Even though it was Saturday, she looked sleepy.
But Qiao's mother seemed to be in very good spirits.
On a weekend morning, she said excitedly, "Xiaoye, next week is your Grandpa Kang's birthday. Why don't you go to Mr. Kang's birthday party then?"
Qiao, who was eating breakfast, paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Kang?"
She only remembered that there seemed to be an old man named Kang in the capital.
However, she had no impression of the Kang family. She only remembered that the power behind the Kang family was very powerful.
So she was a little surprised when she heard this at first.
At this time, Qiao Yang spoke, "It's Mr. Kang's 80th birthday. The Kang family is planning to celebrate it well this year. They have influence in the political, business and military circles. So they sent us an invitation this year. If you don't want to go, then I will go."
When Joe heard him say that, he knew.
The main reason why she didn't know much about the Kang family was that the Kang family was in the capital, while most of the people she came into contact with were from Jiangcheng.
"It's okay. I'll go if I want to. It's nothing."
After hearing her words, Qiao's mother said, "Just go to the Kang family and give the gift. Don't get involved in other matters. It won't do us any good if you know too much."
This sentence also piqued Qiao's interest. "Has the Kang family encountered any big trouble recently?"
The woman glanced at the man sitting next to her, only to see him put down his knife and fork and wipe his mouth gracefully.
He said: "Mr. Kang is already eighty years old. His three sons are waiting for him to die. After all, the Kang family has a lot of assets. So this time the Kang family also called a lawyer to participate, the purpose is notarization."
Qiao also looked strange, "It's so fast?"
"This is Mr. Kang." Qiao Yang placed a photo taken by the media in front of her.
Qiao also took a look. The old man in the photo looked energetic and did not look like he was about to die.
Even attend important meetings.
"You are not familiar with the Kang family, so let Lao Zhang go with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Qiao also shook his head gently, "No need. I can go alone."
Qiao Yang stared at her for a long time before he nodded. "That's fine. I'll ask Lao Zhang to park the car not far from Kang's house. If you need help, just call Lao Zhang."
"good."
After dinner, Joe also cleaned up.
Just drove away from here.
Behind him was Qiao Yang's complicated gaze. He couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Ye has really grown up..."
"What kind of business is Xiaoye doing in Country M? Why didn't you even tell me?" Qiao's mother was a little angry.
"Nothing much." Qiao Yang said indifferently, "Just a simple logistics business."
"Really?" Qiao's mother was a little unconvinced.
"Why would I lie to you?" The man chuckled. "It's just a simple logistics business."
Mother Qiao still had doubts in her heart, but she could not find any trace of lying on the man's face.
I can only let it go.
"I hope so." Qiao's mother sighed softly.
"..." Qiao Yang turned around, "Why don't you even trust your daughter? You should learn to trust her. She has grown up."
"You are always like this!" The woman suddenly became emotional and kept covering her head. "You are always like this!"
, you have never cared about Xiaoye, you even wanted her to get married before——"
Qiao Yang was indifferent, he didn't even show any emotion.
He waited until Qiao's mother finished speaking before he said, "That was only before. Now I haven't even mentioned asking her to marry. Why do you always bring up what you said twenty years ago?"
His language was too intellectual.
Even seemingly ordinary words were a huge blow to Qiao's mother. "Sometimes I really don't understand why you married me back then. You didn't love me, nor did you love Xiaoye."
Qiao's mother's voice sounded a little miserable.
Qiao Yang's expression was just indifferent.
"I love Xiaoye. She is my only daughter. If I don't love her, who else can I love?"
After saying that, Qiao Yang prepared to leave.
But before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, turned back, and took Qiao's mother's wrist, "I've booked tickets for the amusement park. Let me take you there today."
His sudden words left Qiao's mother at a loss for words.
She could only sob and follow him out of the Qiao family.
She actually guessed that Qiao Yang was not good at speaking. For him, sweet words were much more difficult than making decisions in the company.
But she still felt wronged. In fact, she should have known what kind of person this man was.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
＊
On the other side, Joe was also driving his car, turning up the music in the car to the maximum volume, and driving on the road.
It had been a long time since she last returned to the capital.
And some of the changes also surprised her.
For example, Fatty Xia’s Internet cafe actually opened in Beijing, and she even invited her to visit her new Internet cafe.
This time, Qiao Ye went to check out Fatty Xia’s new Internet cafe.
As soon as I stopped the car, I saw a young man in a suit standing there.
Seeing this person, she was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to lose weight. You look pretty good after losing weight?"
"Hehehe. Isn't this all thanks to our Master Qiao?" The young man rubbed his hair. "I didn't expect you to be away in Country M for so long and only come back now."
"Tsk, anyway, I'm back now." Qiao walked upstairs to the internet cafe. "Tell me, what do you want me to do? I don't believe you're here just to throw me a welcome party."
"Mr. Qiao still understands me. But today is a special banquet for Mr. Qiao, so we won't talk about these things at the banquet." Fatty Xia knew her too well and didn't mention this matter at all.
But the implication is that it is definitely more than just a welcoming banquet.
