Chapter 111: Was she very bad to you before?
Qiao Xu opened the box and immediately fell in love with it.
The earrings are about three centimeters long, with light purple flowers and light pink pearls on the upper part, making them both gentle and sophisticated.
It seemed simple, but Qiao Xu knew that Ye Mengmeng had put a lot of thought into it.
"Beautiful, Mengmeng, you have such skillful hands."
"How much? I'll pay you..."
"Sister Qiao, I'm getting angry. I didn't spend a single penny on this shop, but you gave me half of the profits. Now you want to pay me for a pair of earrings."
"From now on, I can only work for you, and you can just pay me my salary."
Qiao Xu smiled helplessly and pinched her cheek: "Mengmeng, I opened this shop because I admire your skills. Xu Si'an has already given me the thanks I owe you, so you don't need to feel too guilty."
"Okay, I can leave this without paying, but I want to make a necklace as a gift, and I'll charge you the shop's price."
Ye Mengmeng smiled broadly: "Of course."
Qiao Xu took an apron and handed it to Xu Si'an: "Mr. Xu, please help me put this on."
Xu Si'an put down his phone, stood up, and pulled her into his arms: "Wife, this is what I should be saying to you."
Qiao Xu immediately understood and snatched the apron from his hand: "I don't need you anymore."
Her waist was fastened tightly. Xu Si'an helped her tie her apron and kissed the tip of her nose: "Be careful not to hurt your hands."
"Never mind, I'll open it for you."
Ye Mengmeng moved a low table to the corner and placed the selected pearl oysters and tools on it.
"Mengmeng, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll figure it out myself."
As guests began to enter, Ye Mengmeng nodded and said, "Sister Qiao, please put on your gloves and be careful not to poke your hands, it hurts a lot."
Xu Si'an had already silently put on the rubber gloves that were not quite the right size.
"Mr. Qiao, come on, how do I drive it?"
Qiao Xu rolled her eyes in response: "You can't do it, yet you still stole my gloves?"
"If I don't know how, I'll just learn. I have a strong learning ability."
Qiao Xu glanced at his white shirt and wanted to take off her apron and give it to him.
The next second I heard a voice full of disgust: "That flashy apron, I'm not wearing it."
Qiao Xu: ······
“This apron is even better than yours.”
Who can be as secretly passionate as him?
It has to be said that the top student's learning ability is really strong. Xu Si'an pried open the pearl oyster and handed it to Qiao Xu.
Qiao Xu took the pearls and started picking them: "A Si, do you think A Yi likes Meng Meng?"
Xu Si paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Qiao Xu looked at Ye Mengmeng, who had a smile on her face: "Ayi cares about her a lot and is very attentive to her."
"That's because Ye Mengmeng saved us when we were about to die."
"She's not a good match for Ayi."
Qiao Xu: ? ? ?
"How do you know it's not suitable? Ayi said so."
After opening three pearl oysters in succession, Xu Si'an took off his gloves and washed his hands: "Qiao Qiao, A Yi's identity is very complicated."
"Someone like Ye Mengmeng, who has no family background, could be killed without even knowing it if she's with him."
Qiao Xu's face froze: "It's that serious?"
Xu Si'an leaned lazily on her shoulder: "Ayi's mother was a lady of the American royal family. When Ayi was six years old, her mother took her to America to remarry, so she naturally had the right to inherit. That's why she was hunted down back then."
"When he was eighteen, the royal princess took a liking to him, and Ayi's stepfather wanted him to change his surname and be included in the family genealogy."
"Marrying a royal princess means that A-Yi will become a member of the royal family."
"Ayi's stepbrother has always been in love with the royal princess. When he finds out that the person he loves has fallen for his non-blood-related younger brother, Qiaoqiao, if it were you, would you want to get rid of him as soon as possible?"
Qiao Xu lost all interest in working with the pearls: "So now..."
“Ah Yi doesn’t like those things at all, nor does he care about those identities. When he was in the United States, he never appeared in any public occasions held by the family.”
“After all, he is not a simple person. In the past few years, people from that place have come looking for him several times, but he has never intended to go back.”
“Ayi’s mother knew that her stepson was going to kill her own son, but she turned a blind eye to it.”
Xu Si'an looked up at Ye Mengmeng: "Ah Yi knows what Miss Ye is thinking. Perhaps he has had such thoughts before."
Qiao Xu knew that Ye Mengmeng liked A Yi.
When you like someone, your eyes will light up.
Qiao Xu spent an afternoon making a necklace and a bracelet.
As Chang Yi was leaving the mall, he called Xu Si'an: "Brother, I couldn't find the box my sister mentioned."
Chang Yi went to the Xu family's old villa to get something, but he couldn't find anything even after turning the bedroom upside down.
The two exchanged a glance, and Qiao Xu nodded and got into the driver's seat.
"Wait, we're coming over now."
Chang Yi sat at the entrance of the villa, looking at the overgrown yard in front of him, and started playing games out of sheer boredom.
Qiao Xu's cute black car stopped behind the flashy red sports car.
Chang Yi watched his brother get out of the car and raised an eyebrow: "Brother, aren't you afraid of running over my sister's car wheel?"
Xu Si'an glared at him: "Stop being so cheeky."
He took Qiao Xu's hand and led her upstairs, but they didn't go to Fang Yiqiu's room immediately.
The door to the bedroom in the corner on the second floor was opened, and the musty smell that hit him made Xu Si'an frown.
He pushed Qiao Xu back two steps: "Wait a minute, I'll go open the window to ventilate the room."
This room has probably never been opened since he went to the United States five years ago.
Qiao Xu stood at the door, looking at the few simple pieces of furniture, all covered in dust.
Is this the life he used to live?
Qiao Xu walked in and hugged his waist from behind: "She used to treat you very badly, didn't she?"
Xu Si'an hooked his arm around her neck and pulled her into his embrace, standing behind her.
"It's alright, since my dad is around, she still has to put on a show."
“But my dad is not home often. After I started high school, I lived at school and rarely stayed at home.”
Xu Si'an rummaged through drawers and pulled out a small square box from the corner of the wardrobe.
"for you."
Qiao Xu opened it and exclaimed, "For me?"
"This was given to me by the old man. He said that if I ever find someone I like, I should give it to her."
"I was quite disgusted at the time, because it looked cheap, and I just casually put it in the closet."
Qiao Xu picked up a small piece of green jadeite "No Worries" plaque from inside.
"This is what you called a cheap thing?"
Xu Si'an picked up the "No Problem" sign and put it around her neck: "This thing is just a rock to me, isn't it cheap?"
Qiao Xu: ······
Such expensive stones.
Xu Si'an led Qiao Xu to his father's former study. When they opened the door, there was no unpleasant smell.
It seems to be used frequently.
"What Fang Yiqiu was talking about, I think it must be this. My dad would never... give my mom's things to Fang Yiqiu."
Even if she has it, I don't care.
"But this was given to my wife by the old man, so it's different in meaning."
Qiao Xu was led into the study by him. There was a large shelf on one side used to display antiques.
Xu Si'an chuckled: "Don't bother looking, these are all fakes."
"Huh?" A fake?
The Xu family is not short of money, so why would they buy counterfeit goods?
"Is it strange? Fang Yiqiu's old flame has come here quite often to steal things."
Qiao Xu suddenly grabbed Xu Si'an's sleeve and pointed to a corner on another bookshelf: "Si'an, is that a security camera?"
