Is Chapter 504 progressing too slowly?
Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously, "What does he want?"
"I'll tell you when we get back. Let's eat first."
Qiao Xing said "oh" and went to sit down in the restaurant. After the meal, Qin Ce took her out for a walk and also took the old man out for a walk.
Qin Ce told her about investing in Wang Ye's shop. Qiao Xing was a little surprised, but also touched.
At least he was clear about right and wrong, and didn't hate even Wang Ye because of He Fen.
Qiao Xing grasped his hand. "Thank you."
Why thank me?
Qiao Xing smiled at him, "I'm thanking you on behalf of my cousin."
Qin Ce also tightened his grip on her hand, "Let him thank me himself, but it's too early to say thank you now. Whether he can actually do it is another matter."
"Definitely. I think he's always been quite ambitious, but he's just suffered from a lack of education, which prevents him from achieving great things. However, he should have no problem in the catering industry."
Let's wait and see.
Qiao Xing nodded; she was also quite looking forward to it.
In the following days, Qiao Xing continued to learn to drive. She felt that she had learned enough to take the second driving test.
On Saturday, Qin Ce unusually didn't go to the company. Qiao Xing wanted to try driving and asked Qin Ce to watch her while she practiced in a secluded place.
Qin Ce found a secluded road. It was a newly built road, and there weren't many cars traveling this way yet, making it a good place.
He sat in the passenger seat, watching Qiao Xing rubbing his hands together in anticipation, and silently fastened his seatbelt.
Qiao Xing turned to look at him. "Do you trust my skills?"
Qin Ce honestly replied, "I don't believe it."
"..."
Qiao Xing had never driven his car before, and he spent a long time studying the buttons on the center console. Although they were largely the same, there were still some minor differences.
Because his car has more buttons than the training car.
After studying it for a while, Qiao Xing grabbed the seat belt and was about to fasten it when she suddenly remembered something. She pushed open the car door, got out, and walked around the car.
Qin Ce looked at her expressionlessly. Although this place was unnecessary, her step was still correct.
After circling around, Qiao Xing returned to the car, fastened her seatbelt, and adjusted the seat. Qin Ce was driving quite far back, so she couldn't lean back comfortably without adjusting it.
She gripped the steering wheel a little nervously, since there was no handbrake in Qin Ce's position.
"Go ahead and drive," Qin Ce encouraged her from the side.
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement, started the engine, pressed the clutch, shifted gears, released the clutch, and pressed the accelerator...
The car finally started successfully. She thought her operation was smooth and effortless, but in Qin Ce's eyes, her movements were unusually stiff and tense.
Although there was no one on this road, people would occasionally ride bicycles or take walks. Qiao Xing saw a bicycle pass by him.
"..."
"Am I driving too slowly?"
Qin Ce sat upright in the passenger seat and pondered, "Not too slow, just right, safe."
"Really? You're not kidding me. That bicycle was faster than me just now. Look, it's already gone."
"That's a mountain bike, it's normal for it to be fast, don't try to compete with him."
Qiao Xing believed him and continued driving at 15 miles per hour. The newly built road was smooth and the scenery was nice, but she was focused on the road ahead and had no interest in looking at the scenery on both sides.
After driving for half an hour, cars started appearing on the road one after another. Qiao Xing was too afraid to drive any further, so she turned around and drove back.
Qin Ce was almost asleep next to him.
Qiao Xing parked the car on the side of the road; she was also sleepy. "How was my driving?"
"good."
"Really? Will I pass the exam?"
"able."
With Qin Ce's words, her confidence increased again. "Okay, then after my prenatal checkup next month, I'll register for the second part of the driving test. During this time, please bring me here to practice more often."
"Um."
Qiao Xing was tired and didn't want to practice anymore. She got out of the car and switched places with Qin Ce.
She prefers being a passenger to driving.
Driving is so tiring.
Qin Ce drove her home. On the way, He Fen called to say she was coming to her house that afternoon.
Going back now is just about right.
Back at Tianxiang Shuiyuan, I saw them at the entrance of the community: Wang Qin and He Fen, as well as Wang Ye and Linlin.
She got out of the car first, and Qin Ce drove to the parking lot.
He Fen walked over with a smile, "Xingxing, you've gone out?"
"Yeah, I went to practice driving for a while."
"Great, great. Once you learn to drive, it'll be easy to go anywhere. If I were younger, I would also get a driver's license."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "Let's go inside and talk first. Don't stand here and talk."
"Okay, okay."
He Fen looked eager and eager. In front of Qiao Xing, she had lost her usual sharp tongue and her smile was full of flattery.
Although the attitude had become more friendly, Qiao Xing knew perfectly well what was going on. But sometimes the world is just that realistic, and that's something you have to admit.
She has severed ties with Qiao Hong's side, and now she only has her uncle's side of the family left. She doesn't want to care about so much, and she doesn't want her family to be left without any relatives.
As long as He Fen doesn't cause her or Qin Ce any trouble, she won't hold a grudge about what happened in the past.
"Didn't my uncle come?"
"No, he's too embarrassed to come. Sigh, don't you know him? If he doesn't want to come, then so be it. Let him stay at home by himself," He Fen said irritably.
Although Wang Yue wasn't very capable, he was very concerned about his image, and he couldn't bring himself to fawn over Qiao Xing like He Fen did.
Qiao Xing didn't say anything and led them to the new house.
As soon as He Fen entered, she looked around in surprise, "Wow, you've moved to such a big house?"
Her face was filled with envy, and her heart was filled with regret.
If I hadn't been so harsh back then, I wouldn't still be crammed into that old house.
He Fen then went to greet the old homeowner, "My dear in-law, it's been so long since I've seen you. Why are you in a wheelchair now? Are you not feeling well?"
The old man had been wearing a polite smile, but upon hearing this, his smile vanished. He said irritably, "I'm in perfect health!"
He Fen, acting as if they were old friends, sat down on the sofa next to him and started chatting, thinking she was being very caring, "Oh dear, as people get older, they have all sorts of problems."
She then remembered something else, "Oh right, Xingxing, you know your grandfather, the one from the Qiao family. I heard he's not doing well either. He's been in the hospital for a month, and recently he hasn't even been able to eat. The doctor says he can only live day by day, and I'm afraid he won't make it through the month."
The more she talked, the darker the old man's face became.
Fortunately, she added later, "My father-in-law is still in good health."
Qiao Xing said, "What does their family's business have to do with me? Aunt, please talk about something else and don't bring this up."
"There's nothing wrong with saying it. Everyone gets to this point when they get old. He's lived to such an old age, so he's definitely made a fortune."
