Chapter 167: 167

Da Qiao came out of the room. This time Huo Chi finally discovered her existence.

"Why did you come here by yourself? I was thinking of picking you up from school tomorrow."

Huo Chi threw the basketball aside. With his back to the setting sun, he strode towards her with his long legs. His gaze toward her was full of tenderness and pampering.

Da Qiao’s watery eyes glared. Instead of answering him, she questioned him instead: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, who is Qian-er?"

Huo Chi halted when he heard this. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Qian-er? Who? Should I know her?"

Da Qiao glared at him. Her tone laced with sourness: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you really don't know her? The other party even tells you when she's in a bad mood!"

As she spoke, she threw the pager into his arms. Her little face puffed up like a puffer fish.

Huo Chi caught the pager, pressed the on button and looked. Frowning, he said, "It turns out to be her."

When Da Qiao heard this, her tone became even more sour: "Just now you said you don't know her. Now it’s ‘it turns out to be her’."

A man's mouth was a deceitful ghost!

Hmph!

Huo Chi took in her puffy little face. A section of her fair collarbone protruded from the neckline. It made her neck look so. His heart skipped a beat.

He leaned towards her and remarked, "Nian Nian, are... you jealous?"

Da Qiao's heart was bubbling with vinegar. Without even thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and pushed his face away: "Go away. It stinks!"

Huo Chi revealed an aggrieved look: "Nian Nian, you have never disdained me like this."

Da Qiao gave him a cold and arrogant hum from her nostrils.

Seeing that she was really angry, Huo Chi stopped teasing her and explained: "That person is the daughter of a client I met when I went to Xiangjiang. I only talked to her a few times. If you didn't say it just now, I can't even remember her name."

Da Qiao raised her chin and her watery eyes squinted at him: "Is that Qian-er very good-looking and beautiful?"

Huo Chi's desire to survive was very strong. He immediately shook his head and replied, "Not as good-looking as you. Nor as beautiful as you!"

Unexpectedly, Da Qiao's face turned red with anger. She thumped his chest: "You can remember so clearly whether she looks good or not. How dare you say you can't remember her name!"

If it was an ordinary girl, hitting chest with a small fist would be very enjoyable to a boy. But Da Qiao's punch directly made Huo Chi gasp.

This wasn’t a small fist hitting the chest, but the strength of crushing a big rock with the chest!

But at this moment, he didn't dare to express aggrievedness. He quickly grabbed her hand and stated, "Nian Nian, I really have nothing to do with her. If you don't believe me, I'll call her now and tell her clearly!"

Da Qiao snorted, "No need, I've already answered her for you."

Huo Chi paused for a moment. Afterward his curiosity was aroused: "What did you reply to her?"

Da Qiao recalled her behavior just now and suddenly felt it was a little childish. She hesitated and replied: "I told her to hold it in!"

"Hahahaha..." Huo Chi laughed until tears came out, "Nian Nian, you are so cute!"

When the other party received this reply, she was probably going to suffocate to death!

Da Qiao raised her eyelids and her red lips murmured: "I replied to your message on my own initiative. It might even ruin your business. Aren't you angry?"

Now that she thought about it, she was a little impulsive. But when she saw those words just now, she felt very upset.

With a hook of his long arm, Huo Chi pulled her over and circled her. He said in a low voice: "If the customer is gone, then it’s gone. I don't think what you said is harsh enough. If she texts again, I reply ‘none of my beeswax’ okay?"

Da Qiao leaned into his embrace. Her long eyelashes fluttered like mad. Her heart thought one thing, while her mouth said another: "This...wouldn't be good?"

In ancient times, King Zhou You played with feudal lords just to get a beauty’s smile and Tang Xuan Zong exhausted many horses to death in order to let Noble Concubine Yang eat fresh lychees. Right now, she felt a bit like those femme fatale.

Huo Chi pinched her nose and jollily replied: "Don't worry. We don’t lack that one customer. There’s numerous people who want to cooperate with our company!"

Technology wasn’t something that anyone can imitate. At present, they were the only company in the country that can produce pagers that display characters, so they had no shortage of customers.

In the past six months, the company had been busy from top to bottom. Sometimes everyone joked that they hoped to have fewer customers and were tired of making money.

Although this was just a joke, it showed that their company didn’t lack customers, let alone needing to please customers. It was the customers who were worried that they wouldn’t cooperate with them.

When Da Qiao heard this, she felt relieved. The next moment her waist was hugged and her back was pressed against the wall post: "You... um..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he sealed her mouth.

After a while, Huo Chi let go of her. However, his strong arms were still around her slender waist.

Da Qiao blushed and pushed him: "You...why didn't give any warning..."

Huo Chi looked at her with downcast eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly hooked up: "It's my fault. I'll let you know in advance next time?"

"..." Da Qiao gave him a pointed stare.

Huo Chi chuckled: "Nian Nian, I want to kiss you again. Are you ready?"

After speaking, he bent down again to seal her lips.

Who would notify like this?

Da Qiao was ashamed and angry. She pinched his waist hard, but that person didn't let her go.

The two lingered for a while. They didn't separate until the housekeeper came back from shopping.

The person who called Huo Chi was Qin Miao Qian, the daughter of the boss of the paging station in Province S. She was beautiful, smart and lively. In the past, she was always held up high by others until she met Huo Chi.

Huo Chi treated her coldly and didn't even look at her. This attitude immediately aroused her compulsion to win and made her want to conquer such a man to prove her charm.

At first, she just wanted to have fun. But after hearing about the other party's outstanding deeds, her heart moved. Especially after seeing his vigorous and resolute handling style.

Though her heart was moved, Huo Chi treated her with the same attitude from the beginning to the end. Never sparing any extra glance to her. After he returned from Xiangjiang, his figure had been lingering in her mind. She felt that letting such a man go will make her regret it for the rest of her life. So after thinking it over and over again, she passed on the message of her bad mood through the paging station.

After hanging up the phone, she kept holding on to the pager. Her heart felt like a rollercoaster ride. She was afraid of missing the message and that he wouldn’t reply to her message. Even more, she was afraid of being rejected by him.

After waiting for a long time, she finally heard the sound of beeps. She jumped up in delight and clicked on it. Blood was almost vomited out!

Hold it in? ? ?

What hold it in? ?

She was in a bad mood. He could at least call to comfort her. Even if there was no comfort, there was no need to say such irritating words!

Qin Miao Qian was so angry that she almost dropped the pager!

She swore that she would never do such a thing again. But after a few days, the more she thought about it, the more she felt unwilling to admit defeat.

So she called the paging station again and asked them to send a message: The lychee was ripe, hope to taste it with you, Qian-er.

After Huo Chi received the message, he called the paging station and sent back a message: My wife likes lychees. I am very happy to hear of this. Thank you for the gift!

Seeing the reply, Qin Miao Qian almost vomited blood for the second time!

When did he get married?

Also, what she said was clearly expressing her love to him, not wanting to give lychees to his wife! !

This was pissing her off! ! !

Fortunately, Qin Miao Qian wasn’t a stalker. Nor did she have a heart to be a mistress. After this incident, she gave up and never sent Huo Chi a message again.

Of course, Huo Chi didn't receive the lychee from the other party.

What a pity.

Although Qiao Zhen Min suffered heavy setbacks in the middle of his entrepreneurial journey, his ability lies there after all.

After coming to the capital, he endured and aimed to make achievements. It can be said that he expanded his client list regardless of rain or shine. He did his utmost to develop routes. After a year of hard work, his company finally gained a firm foothold in the capital and became quite large.

On this day, they entertained a big client from the south. The other party brought his wife. So the couple went to greet them together.

This client was a person of quality and culture. His personality was quite straightforward, and everyone had a good conversation.

Chu Sheng Mei and the other party's wife, Elder Sister An, chatted very congenially. They even felt a little bit like they met each other too late.

Elder Sister An suddenly sighed and commented, "When I see you, I couldn't help but think of my little sister. She was about the same age as you. She was as beautiful as you but she wasn’t as strong as you. If her personality was half as cheerful as yours, she probably wouldn't go down that road."

Chu Sheng Mei was halted when she heard this. She didn't understand the other party’s meaning: "I'm sorry, that road you said refers to..."

Elder Sister An sighed again: "Three years ago, my little sister committed suicide!"

Chu Sheng Mei let out an ‘ah’. Her face was a little pale: "Why did she commit suicide? Didn't you notice anything amiss with her back then?"

The other party shook her head: "No, she appeared normal before she committed suicide. She could eat, drink and sleep. She was talking and laughing with family. Who knew that one day she would hang herself at home!"

When Elder Sister An said this, her eyes were red.

Chu Sheng Mei's hands trembled and knocked down the teacup in front of her. The tea poured on the table and flowed down to the ground.

Elder Sister An softly yelped when she saw this and quickly picked up a rag beside her to wipe off the water. After finishing, she looked up, only to see that Chu Sheng Mei was still in a daze.

She couldn't help being startled: "Sheng Mei, are you OK? Where are you unwell? Do you want me to call your husband over for you? "

Only then did Chu Sheng Mei come to her senses, she shook her head with a pale face, and said, "No need, Elder Sister An, I just suddenly remembered my ex-husband. He committed suicide just like your little sister. There was no abnormal behavior before committing suicide. At that time I..."

Then she told all about Du Zhuo Cheng's sudden suicide and how she felt so guilty that she almost committed suicide. Before the story was finished, she was already in tears.

Elder Sister An found a tissue and handed it to her. She softly comforted her: "It's not your fault. It's their psychological problems. When my younger brother went to study abroad, he heard it from his professor. Cases like your ex-husband and my younger sister are because they suffer from a mental illness called depression. On the surface, they seem to be healthy and pain free. No different from normal people, but their lives are extremely miserable in their hearts. Oh, I really didn't expect the mind to actually be able to be ill too!"

When her younger sister committed suicide, their family couldn't figure it out. The family treated her very well and the family conditions were also very good. She didn't have to worry about food and drink. Nor did she encounter any setbacks. Why can't she think it through?

If there was anything she could talk about with family members. Committing suicide in such silent manner was a huge blow to the family members!

After her younger sister committed suicide, her parents’ health turned bad. She had once hated her little sister, thinking she was too selfish.

It wasn't until later that it was backed by science that she realized that people who suffer from depression weren’t selfish. They were rendered powerless by despair.

When Chu Sheng Mei heard her words, she almost forgot to wipe her tears: "Elder Sister An, is the depression you said true?"

Elder Sister An nodded: "Of course it's true. Just remember that this matter had nothing to do with you. They chose this path because they were sick. It's not because you didn't do well. So don’t feel guilty and remorse!"

When Chu Sheng Mei heard this, her eyes turned red again: "Thank you, Elder Sister An. If you hadn't told me this, I might not be able to figure it out in my life!"

At the most difficult time, she even wanted to lie down on the train track and go with Du Zhuo Cheng. Although she regained her composure later, Du Zhuo Cheng's death kept weighing on her heart. As long as she didn't understand it one day, it’ll be another day she couldn't really feel relieved.

But at this moment, she was relieved.

He left not because she didn't do well enough. Nor because she put pressure on him. But because he was sick.

That night, she told Qiao Zhen Min about it.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhen Min hugged her, kissed her hair without lust and said, "So that's how it is. You can truly let it go in the future."

She was obsessed with Du Zhuo Cheng's death. How could he, the person who slept beside her, not know?

It was just that he had said all the truths that should be said and she had understood. Some knots can't be released just by understanding alone. All he could do was to stay by her side through it all.

Now that they knew the real cause of Du Zhuo Cheng's death, he breathed a sigh of relief too.

From now on, they don't have to live in Du Zhuo Cheng's shadow anymore.

How wonderful.

——

Because Qiao Dong He was temporarily arranged for a business trip, she had no choice but to send little Qi Jin to her maternal home.

However, first branch was hosting a few banquets recently and were overwhelmingly busy. So little Qi Jin was sent to second branch to be with her grandparents.

This day, Huo Family brought little Wu-er to Qiao's house. The two children were about the same age, so they put them together and let them play together.

At the beginning, the two got along. But for some reason, playing turned into a quarrel.

With a stern face, little Qi Jin angrily scolded little Wu-er: "Little Wu-er, that's my milk. You can't steal it!"

Little Wu-er still hadn’t grasped the skill of speaking. But his quarreling posture wasn’t inferior at all: "Eat, eat, eat, eat..."

"Can't eat!" Little Qi Jin stamped his feet angrily when he heard that he wanted to eat.

Little Wu-er patted the floor with her small hands. His chin was held up: "No no... puff puff puff... ah..."

Seeing how disobedient he was, little Qi Jin ran over and wanted to hold him up to spank him. But he was too young and little Wu-er was chubby. When he held him up, little Wu-er fell head first to the ground.

Little Wu-er got a big bump on his forehead and immediately burst into tears with a wail.

Da Qiao heard the crying in the kitchen and quickly ran over.

She only walked away for a while. How did these two little guys start a fight?

The others also rushed to the yard and found little Qi Jin kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to little Wu-er, "Little Brother Wu-er, please don't cry!"

Seeing this, everyone didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Dai Shu Fang quickly held her son and coaxed him. But when little Wu-er saw Da Qiao, he didn't even want his mother anymore. He stretched out his hands towards Da Qiao and heartbreakingly sobbed. To those who didn’t know, they would think Da Qiao was his real mother.

Dai Shu Fang felt exasperated and helpless. She could only hand her son over to Da Qiao.

Da Qiao coaxed little Wu-er a bit and he stopped crying. The little guy was still deeply aggrieved. Pointing at little Qi Jin, he complained: "Bad, bad... hit!"

Little Qi Jin knew that he had done something wrong. He quickly put on an innocent smile and fawningly said: "Third Maternal Aunt, little Qi Jin was bad. Don't hit little Qi Jin, okay?"

Da Qiao wasn’t confused by his sugar-coated cannonballs. Sterning her face, she stated: "Then why are you bad?"

Little Qi Jin poked his little fingers together and explained: "Little Brother Wu-er drank my milk, I lectured him. He didn’t listen, so I hit his butt. He happened to fall down."

When everyone heard this, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry again.

Although little Qi Jin was more than a year older than little Wu-er, he should call little Wu-er Uncle according to the generation's seniority.

If a child wasn’t educated well, it was easy to become a bear child. That was why the stern expression was still on Da Qiao: "When little Wu-er won’t listen, you can tell an adult instead of doing something to him. And not putting your hands on him. A child who beat someone isn’t a good child. Do you understand?"

Little Qi Jin vigorously nodded his head: "Understand, Maternal Third Aunt. You are the most beautiful. You are prettier than my mom. You are prettier than my dad, Don't be angry with little Qi Jin. "

When Da Qiao heard this, she couldn't be angry anymore.

Even his parents were sold. This sugar-coated cannonball was too powerful!

Qiao Dong He and Luo Jun Liang who were on a business trip sneezed at the same time.

Everyone laughed again.

After dinner, little Wu-er was still nestled in Da Qiao's arms and refused to let others hug him. Da Qiao had no choice but to accompany him back to Huo's house.

On the ride back, Huo Chi looked at his younger brother who was being hugged by Da Qiao. His eyes drooped slightly and he stretched out his hand to forcefully take little Wu-er, "He's too heavy. Let me carry him."

When little Wu-er saw his elder brother, his mouth was pressed together.

Huo Chi looked into his eyes and warned in a cool tone: "Cry again and you won't get to eat candies in the future!"

Little Wu-er's mouth was flattened into a line. He felt so wronged, but he didn't dare to cry.

Da Qiao speechlessly glanced at him, feeling that Elder Brother Huo Chi was sometimes childish.

Huo Chi was very proud in his heart. The only guy Nian Nian could hug was him. As for the rest, including his younger brother, there was no room for discussion!

When Dai Shu Fang saw this scene from the front seat, she teared up from amusement.

When they arrived at Huo's house, they saw a car parked in front of Huo's house from a distance before everyone got out of the car.

At first, everyone gave it no thought. But when they got out of the car, the door of the car opened and a scrawny woman stepped out of it.

Da Qiao and the group looked over with the help of the headlights and were stunned.

It was Wang Anna!
