Chapter 82 I'm afraid he'll embarrass himself and be jealous of me.
The next morning, Xu Si'an took Qiao Xu to an amusement park, where they rode a roller coaster and enjoyed the 'California sunset'!
That night, at Los Angeles Airport, Qiao Xu met Chang Yi.
The scar on his face made Qiao Xu feel an indescribable pang of heartache.
She stepped forward and stood in front of him: "Ayi, thank you."
Chang Yi took off the sunglasses he was biting: "Sister-in-law, this is my brother. If he hadn't picked me up from some corner of Los Angeles a few years ago, I would have died long ago."
Qiao Xu interrupted sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, everything will be fine."
Xu Si'an dragged Qiao Xu's suitcase and carried Cherry in his other hand as he walked forward.
Chang Yi leaned closer to Qiao Xu: "Sister-in-law, have you verified whether my brother is really neither male nor female?"
Qiao Xu chuckled: "Why don't you ask him that to his face?"
“I was afraid he would embarrass me, and that he would be jealous that I’m a big boy.”
Chang Yi arranged for a private jet, with only the three of them besides the pilot.
Xu Si'an was wearing headphones and attending a video conference, while the other two sat on the sofa watching a movie and chatting away.
Although Qiao Xu had already heard him briefly mention it on WeChat.
But she didn't believe it was that simple.
This is a matter of life and death; how could it be as he said?
After hearing the complete and perilous account of what happened, Qiao Xu remained silent for a long time: "Ayi, is that Miss Ye still in New York?"
"Yes, but Aunt Ye and her family will be returning to China after her treatment ends next week."
"Sister-in-law, when are you going back to China?"
Qiao Xu could tell that his ears turned red every time Ye Mengmeng was mentioned.
"Hmm... I don't know yet. We should wait until Ah Si is feeling better before we talk about it. The medical care here is much better than in China."
Chang Yi nodded in agreement: "Then I'll send Mengmeng and Aunt Ye back to China first. I'm worried about them taking a long-haul flight alone."
Qiao Xu was secretly overjoyed; it was hard to hide a young boy's feelings.
But I'm not comfortable with flying?
If something really happens, he'll just be adding to the ranks of those who die.
"Ah Yi, you like Miss Ye?"
Chang Yi ran his fingers through his hair: "No, that's not true. I'm just thanking her. Besides, she came to America with me, so I have to keep an eye on her."
Qiao Xu nodded slightly: "Then please help me make an appointment with Miss Ye. I want to thank her."
Xu Si'an is like an older brother to Chang Yi. Since he calls Qiao's mother "godmother," then Qiao Xu is both his sister-in-law and his older sister. Whatever she says goes.
"By the way, Yi, have you called my mom?"
Chang Yi felt terrible when he thought about how he heard Qiao's mother crying and showing concern for him after calling her yesterday.
“I’ve had the call, and I’ll go see her when I get back to China.”
Mrs. Qiao genuinely liked him; she had finally found a godson, and he even accompanied her son-in-law...
How could she possibly accept this?
When Xu Si'an's meeting ended, Qiao Xu nestled on the sofa watching Twilight.
He lifted Qiao Xu's head and sat down on the sofa, letting her rest her head on his lap: "Why are you looking at this? Didn't you say you were scared?"
Qiao Xu is a typical example of someone who is both bad at the game and loves to play.
When she was in college, she especially loved watching the Twilight series; she watched every single one.
Every time, I would hide in his arms to watch, feeling both scared and wanting to watch, and I would cry my eyes out.
However, each time, Xu Si'an would find his own way to make her cry even more.
"I'm not afraid."
When Xu Si'an disappeared without a trace, what she thought about most was how wonderful it would be if they had the ability to bring him back to life, just like the male and female protagonists in Twilight.
The man's fingertips brushed against the corner of her eye, and he sighed inwardly, "Huh, she didn't cry this time?"
"Sweetie, I can't touch you right now."
Even if you cry, all I can do is kiss you hard; there's nothing else I can do.
As he spoke, Xu Si'an whispered a dirty joke in her ear.
Qiao Xu just glared at her.
"Xu Si'an, don't eat everything in the future."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "I know, from now on I'll only eat what my wife gives me."
The plane arrived in Los Angeles at four in the morning.
A black Cullinan was parked outside the airport, and a cold-faced man got out and opened the door.
Chang Yi consciously sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt: "Amei, you don't smile at all, it's kind of scary."
The man driving spoke in a cold voice: "My laugh is even scarier."
Sleepy Qiao Xu nestled in the man's arms and was amused.
Such a cold man, yet he speaks so wittily.
Moreover, his Chinese was particularly poor.
Ah Mei drove with a blank expression. He and Ah Gui were brothers, but two people with completely different personalities.
Xu Si'an bought it from the Colosseum five years ago.
He was essentially his bodyguard.
Chang Yi opened the car's drawer to look for something, but A Mei quickly closed it, almost pinching Chang Yi's hand.
"Don't rummage through it."
Chang Yi pointed at him and muttered, "You're hiding something, aren't you? You're not hiding something good, are you?"
"What's it to you, kid? Go play somewhere else."
Qiao Xu nestled in Xu Si'an's arms, laughing so hard her shoulders shook. Xu Si'an smiled slightly: "Is it that funny?"
"A little."
It's mainly because Ah Mei's Chinese is quite funny.
The car stopped outside Chang Yi's villa, and Amei called out to Xu Si'an, "Boss!"
Qiao Xu got out of his arms: "I'll go in first."
"Boss, I'm going to get Ah Gui back."
"That woman must die."
Xu Si'an waved his hand: "No need, Amei, she and the child are waiting for you. You don't need to stay by my side. I've already said that I consider you and Agui as brothers, not subordinates."
“Anqiao International will soon relocate to China, so you don’t need to go. From now on, you only need to be loyal to your wife and children.”
"She has to die, but definitely not at our hands."
It's impossible for Anjou International to have been able to quickly establish itself on Wall Street without being completely clean.
But Amei has the ability to help Anqiao International clear its name.
Over the years, Xu Si'an has been in the open while he has been operating in the shadows, which has allowed Anqiao International to maintain its position as the top financial institution on Wall Street.
Six months ago, Xu Si'an planned to move the entire focus of Anqiao International back to China.
Many people were eager to take a bite out of his business, but Ah Mei dealt with them all.
Xu Si'an patted his shoulder: "Lia has waited for you for three years. Before, you were afraid that your enemies would find out about her existence, but now you don't need to."
A week later, Qiao Xu sat alone outside the operating room, her hands marked with red welts from scratching.
Although Xu Si'an had said that the skin grafting surgery would not be life-threatening, she was still very worried.
We had a cold war for several days because of this a few days ago.
This time, I underwent extensive surgery, which lasted approximately six hours.
Qiao Xu sat motionless in the chair for six hours, her eyes fixed on the red operating light.
During this time, a girl of mixed Chinese and American heritage came to deliver something to her with a little girl who was walking unsteadily.
Qiao Xu then realized that they were actually the wife and daughter of the cold-faced bodyguard from yesterday.
When the operating lights went out, Qiao Xu slowly stood up.
Dr. Andrew, who is over sixty years old, told Qiao Xu in fluent and standard English that the next seven days of infection period are extremely important.
After asking a series of precautions in a hoarse voice, Qiao Xu went to the private ward on the top floor.
She sat by the door, holding in her hand the medical records of every rescue and treatment he received after returning to New York following his accident.
Her fingers traced the two bracelets on her left wrist.
"Dad, Xuxu, we found him." Tears dripped onto the paper and instantly spread.
