Chapter 229 Aunt's Husband
Shen Jiazhou asked: "Did you go home at noon?"
"No, I ate outside." Wen Shuqiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay. I was thinking if you went home, could you bring me a document? I forgot to take it. I called my aunt and asked her to help me." Shen Jiazhou finished speaking, and then heard something wrong in her voice: "Where are you? Your voice is so low."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at the man in the front row who was driving seriously, and she said quickly: "I met a teacher from the studio. I took his ride. I'll tell you when I get back."
The words Shen Jiazhou wanted to ask were stuck in his mouth. He said, "Okay..."
But before hanging up, he couldn't help but ask, "You, the teacher, um..."
He spoke so softly that Wen Shuqiao didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What? I didn't hear clearly."
Shen Jiazhou on the other end of the phone said: "Nothing, send me a message when you arrive, I'll call my aunt first."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but mutter, is Wen Shuqiao's teacher a man or a woman?
Then he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, what does it have to do with him whether it is a girl or a boy!
Shen Jiazhou looked at the black screen of his phone, pursed his lips, and went to call his aunt again.
Wen Shuqiao hung up the phone. Xie Jingbei was just waiting for a green light. He turned his head slightly to glance at Wen Shuqiao and asked, "Is it the studio's number?"
"It's a call from my family," Wen Shuqiao replied, "Why would you ask that?"
Xie Jingbei chuckled: "When I heard you mention me, I thought it was a friend from the studio who called you to ask if you had arrived."
Wen Shuqiao just said that he met a teacher from the studio, and it felt a bit strange to think about it, but he still replied again: "No, it was a call from home."
Xie Jingbei stopped talking. He nodded slightly and asked, "You have been in the studio for a while. How do you feel?"
"Very good." Wen Shuqiao said, "Everyone is very enthusiastic."
Wen Shuqiao hasn't met such an energetic peer since graduation. Thinking of this, the expression on her face softened a little.
Xie Jingbei also had a smile on his face: "That's good. I heard from Xiaoqi that you plan to stay in the studio as an assistant?"
"Yes, she asked me yesterday." Wen Shuqiao smiled with a hint of embarrassment: "I thought I could learn a lot by being an assistant, so I agreed."
From now on, the classes will be free, and Wen Shuqiao is very happy about it. Although the money is not much, it is enough for her and Cancan's living expenses.
Xie Jingbei said: "Welcome to join our big family."
The red light turned green. When talking about the studio, the atmosphere between Wen Shuqiao and Xie Jingbei became much more harmonious. They chatted until they arrived downstairs of the studio.
Wen Shuqiao said, "I won't go to the underground garage. I want to buy something."
Xie Jingbei stopped the car steadily, turned his head and said gently: "See you later."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "See you later."
After getting out of the car, Wen Shuqiao watched Xie Jingbei drive the car into the underground garage before she breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually not used to bothering others like this, after all, they were not very familiar with each other.
Compared to hitchhiking, she prefers to take the bus or subway alone.
Wen Shuqiao turned around and walked towards the coffee shop nearby, ordered three cups of their signature lattes and took them upstairs.
She was already familiar with the studio. As soon as she went upstairs, she met someone she knew and greeted him. She greeted him all the way and finally found Zhong Qi in a room.
Zhong Qi was currently setting up the scene for the afternoon photo shoot, and Wen Shuqiao handed her a cup of latte with a smile.
After Zhong Qi took it, he took a deep sip and said, "Oh my god, I'm alive again."
Wen Shuqiao asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Zhong Qi shook her head, took another sip of latte and said helplessly, "No, I had already set up the scenery yesterday, but the customer I had an appointment with couldn't come due to something, so I took another customer. She wanted to take pictures of ancient style, but the ancient scenery was full. The customer came at 4 pm, and I was afraid I would not be able to make it, so I started setting up at noon."
This kind of thing is very common. After Zhong Qi communicated with the customer, he started to set up the scene. Everything was taken out of the warehouse, which was not troublesome, but it was tiring to move things around.
Wen Shuqiao said: "I brought some coffee to help you."
Zhong Qi said, "No need. Your assistant job will not officially start until next week. It would be a loss for you to help me now."
She shook the coffee back and forth, pretending to be angry and said, "But who else are you giving coffee to? Am I not your best partner!"
"I met Teacher Xie on the road today. I took a ride with him and bought him a cup of coffee to thank him." Wen Shuqiao touched her face: "You are my best friend."
Zhong Qi seemed to have endless energy, and Wen Shuqiao really liked her.
"Teacher Xie is here today?" Zhong Qi was a little surprised, then thought: "Maybe it's for the annual meeting."
Annual meeting?
Zhong Qi explained: "The last weekend of December every year is our annual meeting day. Not only does Teacher Xie come, but several other bosses also come. Last year, we were invited to a five-star hotel and given big red envelopes. Everyone can look forward to it."
Zhong Qi began to make a wish: "I heard from the insider that there might be concert tickets this year, any star show, as long as I want to go, the boss will treat me to a ticket inside, hehehe, if I get one... hehehe..."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile: "Then I wish you the best in advance. Okay, hurry up and get on the bus. I'll come over to help you later. Anyway, the class will take a while, and I don't have anything to do."
Zhong Qi nodded, put down her coffee, turned around and gave her a heart shape with her hands: "I love you, my dear sister."
Wen Shuqiao put down his cup and went to find Xie Jingbei with the coffee.
Just then, she saw Xie Jingbei walking in. He must be going to the office. She walked over and said, "Teacher Xie."
Xie Jingbei stopped and looked up at her: "Hmm?"
Wen Shuqiao walked quickly to him and handed him the coffee: "Thank you for the ride. I didn't know what you like to drink, so I bought you the signature latte."
Xie Jingbei looked at the coffee and chuckled. He took the coffee without hesitation and said, "Thank you. I have a meeting to attend. See you later."
Wen Shuqiao hummed, turned around and walked back.
Xie Jingbei was originally going to the office with his coffee, but he caught sight of Wen Shuqiao's back out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw Wen Shuqiao raising her hands to tie up her long hair with a black hairband. The black hair curled up and slid down between her white fingers, and after a few seconds, it was tied into a low ponytail.
She walked straight into the photo studio, and I didn't know what she saw, but just from her side profile, I could see her smiling eyes.
Xie Jingbei retracted his gaze, looked down at the coffee in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he went to the office with the coffee.

The news of the annual meeting was announced in the group when Wen Shuqiao went to pick up Cancan. Not only people from the studio, but also their students were invited.
Wen Shuqiao took a look at the place and it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had been there when he first arrived. It was the place where the Su family held a welcoming banquet for Su Sisi.
She was still thinking that it seemed like a good place, as she had been there twice.
The phone vibrated and Zhong Qi sent a message, also about the annual meeting.
[Xiao Qi: Sister Qiao, are you going to the annual meeting? ]
Wen Shuqiao replied: [I can’t confirm it yet, I’ll go if I can.]
After all, the annual meeting is still some time away, so there is no need to rush now.
[Xiao Qi: Great, great, if you go, please tell me! Hehehe, let’s go together! ]
Wen Shuqiao replied with a "good" and the taxi arrived at the kindergarten. There was still a traffic jam ahead. She simply paid and got out of the car. It only took a minute or two to walk over and queue up.
She lined up, then lowered her head to send a message to Shen Jiazhou, saying that she had arrived.
[Shen Jiazhou: I'm here too, but the traffic is very congested and I'm still looking for a place to park.]
Wen Shuqiao looked around and didn't see Shen Jiazhou's car, so he lowered his head and said, "Don't drive over here. I'll pick up Cancan and come to see you later."
The lanes on both sides were blocked. By the time Shen Jiazhou found a place to stop and pick someone up, she would probably have already picked up Cancan.
【Shen Jiazhou: OK.】
After making the arrangements, Wen Shuqiao put his phone back into his pocket and looked inside the fence of the kindergarten. Now coming out were the children from the small class, each one of them was well-behaved and cute.
Wen Shuqiao waited eagerly for a long time before he finally saw the children from Class 1 followed by Xiaopaipai coming out.
Cancan was still at the tail, holding hands with another child. The two of them were whispering about something, and Cancan didn't even look outside to see if her aunt had arrived.
An An said: "Cancan, my uncle is here to pick me up today, do you want to see my uncle?"
Cancan actually wanted to see her aunt and uncle more, but she nodded anyway: "Wait until I see my aunt, then I'll meet them, okay?"
An An pouted: "When you saw your aunt, you just left and didn't care about me at all. My uncle is so handsome. Does your aunt have a husband?"
Cancan asked, "What is a husband?"
He doesn’t know whether his aunt has a husband!
An An didn't know how to explain to Can Can, so he said, "That's right, the man who lives with your aunt! Like your parents."
Cancan understood, and he said, "Yes! Then my aunt has a husband!"
The uncle lives with the aunt, so the uncle is the aunt’s husband!
