"Why are you hiding from me?!" Mu Qiao was puzzled. Aren't there many rooms in this plum garden?
Qiao Lubai looked helpless, "My mother is here, so I can only hide here with you."
Mu Qiao understood that she, as the mother-in-law, was here to supervise them.
"I understand." Mu Qiao fell asleep again and asked him tentatively in a low voice, "Are you really only hiding for one night?"
As a nominal couple, Mu Qiao cannot chase anyone away, but this is only the first time and it will not happen again.
"Yes, just one night." Qiao Lubai nodded.
"Then go to sleep." Mu Qiao turned off the lights and turned his back to him.
"Okay!" Qiao Lubai's eyes were gentle and full of gratitude.
He lay down carefully, looking at Mu Qiao's back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
...
...
The next day, when Mu Qiao got up, Qiao Lubai was gone.
Looking at the place where Qiao Lubai had slept last night, Mu Qiao blushed slightly and thought to herself, "She is always alert when she sleeps, how come she didn't notice Qiao Lubai coming and going?"
This shows how gentle Qiao Lubai's movements were in order not to wake her up.
After spending two days together, Mu Qiao found that he didn't hate Deputy Captain Qiao. On the contrary, he really enjoyed being with him. He wondered if this was the beginning of his love for him?
With this doubt in mind, Mu Qiao got up, washed, and tidied himself. When he was about to leave the bedroom, Mu Qing called.
"Sister, Mom heard that you and your brother-in-law are on vacation, so she asked you to come home when you have time."
There were some things Mu Qing was not convenient to say to Mu Qiao on the phone, so she could only convey the general idea.
"Okay." Mu Qiao responded and asked, "Did Dad take Mu Chun to do a DNA test?"
"Yes." Mu Qing replied quickly, paused, and lowered her voice, "Mu Chun is the son of Lao Chen and my father's mistress."
Mu Qiao was stunned when he heard this, then took a deep breath, "So how is Dad now?"
Mu Qing laughed and said, "What can he do? He just drinks and sulks."
"He didn't get drunk and quarrel with mom, did he?" Mu Qiao was very concerned about his mother being bullied by his father again.
Mu Qing shook her head, "No."
"That's good." Mu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
As for his father, Mu Qiao had no sympathy for him at all. Misfortunes sent by Heaven can be forgiven, but those brought upon oneself cannot. His father kept a mistress behind his mother's back and was cheated on for ten years. This could be considered a punishment from God.
After finishing the call with Mu Qing, Mu Qiao left the bedroom and met Ouyang Hui, who was going back to the city for work, at the entrance of the second floor.
"Mom!" Mu Qiao greeted politely. Ouyang Hui responded with a smile, holding her hand and whispering softly, "Qiao Qiao, Mom has heard from Lu Bai about your current situation. From now on, Mom will not force you. There is a long way to go."
"Thank you, Mom." Mu Qiao looked at Ouyang Hui and smiled gratefully.
"We don't need to say thank you. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I'll get it for you." Ouyang Hui patted Mu Qiao's shoulder lovingly, "Mom has to go to work. You and Lu Bai should have a good rest."
After saying this, Ouyang Hui went downstairs with a smile.
"Mom, take care!"
"Okay!"
Ouyang Hui looked back at Mu Qiao with a smile in her eyes.
Her daughter-in-law is very polite, and Ouyang Hui likes her more and more the more she looks at her.
Mu Qiao also likes Ouyang Hui, her cheerful and approachable mother-in-law, very much. If she and Deputy Captain Qiao can develop feelings for each other, she will definitely stay in this house and never go anywhere else.
Mu Qiao went downstairs, saw Ouyang Hui off, and turned to walk towards the study.
Just now when Ouyang Hui left, she said, "Lu Bai has been in the study since early morning. I wonder what he is busy with?"
Mu Qiao was a little curious. He walked to the door of the study and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when Qiao Lubai's cold voice came from inside, "I'm very busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Do you hear me?"
Who is Deputy Captain Qiao yelling at? !
Mu Qiao was very curious and couldn't help but listen attentively.
"Don't always bring up the past. Aren't you annoying?!"
Qiao Lubai's voice became more and more furious, and he started shouting at the end.
Mu Qiao was stunned. Who was Deputy Captain Qiao yelling at? A man or a woman?
There was another roar from inside, "Don't go looking for Grandpa. If you make him angry, I will never forgive you."
The person who could make Qiao Lubai so angry and allow him to meet Old Qiao might be someone from the Qiao family.
Everyone in the Qiao family is an elite, and there is no unreliable person.
At this moment, a roar broke out from inside, "Daisy, you're not going to make up your mind, are you? Why are you so stubborn?"
Daisy?!
Isn’t she the female police officer that Deputy Captain Qiao risked his life to save in the Dark Forest?
Why was Deputy Captain Qiao so angry with her? Mu Qiao remembered that when she came back from Zhouquan, Daisy blocked her way and called her a scumbag.
At that time, Daisy's expression was very anxious, and she seemed to care about Qiao Lubai very much. I wonder what the relationship between them is?
Mu Qiao began to think about this matter.
With doubts in her mind, she looked a little absent-minded. When she went jogging in the morning with Qiao Lubai, she often fell behind.
In the short five kilometers, Qiao Lubai waited for her several times. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Mu Qiao, what's wrong with you today? Are you not in good shape?"
Mu Qiao shook his head and ignored him.
This was the first time that Mu Qiao showed disrespect in front of Qiao Lubai.
Qiao Lubai was a little confused. Could he be sick?
Without a second thought, he raised his hand to touch Mu Qiao's forehead, but his hand was opened.
"I'm not sick and I don't have a fever." Mu Qiao's tone was unfriendly.
Qiao Lubai was stunned and stood there in a daze.
Mu Qiao didn't care about him and ran away. After returning to the plum garden, she went back to the bedroom to take a shower, changed into a refreshing casual outfit, and went home.
Originally, she wanted to take Qiao Lubai home with her, but the incident between Qiao Lubai and Daisy made her very unhappy, so she deprived Qiao Lubai of the right to accompany her home.
When Qiao Lubai came out of the shower and changed his clothes, he saw a sticky note on the coffee table in the living room on the first floor.
He picked it up and saw that it said: "I'm home."
Why don't you take him with you?
Weren't they fine yesterday? Why did she no longer want him after he slept with her for a night?
Sure enough, women are fickle!
Qiao Lubai thought so in his heart, but he took action, picked up the car keys, stepped on the accelerator and chased into the city.
*
Mu family.
Mu Qiao, Mu's mother and Mu's father sat in the living room, none of them speaking.
On the coffee table were the family's real estate, passbooks and bank cards, as well as car keys and the company's transfer contract.
Dad Mu wants to leave the house with nothing!
Such a big turn of events shocked Mu Qiao, and she is now a little unable to digest it.
Mu's mother asked Mu Qiao to come back because of this matter.
In fact, after finding out that Mu Chun was not Mu's father's child, Mu's mother gave up the idea of divorce. But who would have thought that Mu's father would ask to leave the house with nothing.
Mother Mu was stunned by Father Mu's decision and couldn't make up her mind for a moment. She wanted to hear Mu Qiao's opinion.
Mu Qiao recovered from his shock, looked at his frustrated father, then at his relieved mother, and organized his words.
"Dad, Mom, as your daughter, I have no right to interfere in your marriage, but there is one thing I can't help but say. Over the years, Dad has been bullying Mom and has never treated her well from the bottom of his heart. If Mom agrees to a divorce, I agree."
