Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The house drove back early at night...

The house drove back early at night, with a lot of things in the car, many of which were in English. He said that they were all for the aunts and uncles at home.

In addition to Aunt Wu and Sister Xia, there were only Master Wang who was repairing the yard and the staff who had been responsible for the safety of several households in the villa area.

Several people from the family went to move the things. When Xiaozhen went there, the house said, "Just take a rest."

Xiaozhen had nothing to be embarrassed about. If he didn't let her do it

, she wouldn't do it. Anyway, being here for a month or two is not embarrassing

for herself, but for others. Qiao Yihua deliberately didn't meet her. The people here were sometimes indifferent to her and sometimes very enthusiastic.

The situation was very embarrassing. If she was embarrassed again, she might as well leave.

But leaving was impossible. As long as she went out and left the gate a few hundred meters away, someone would follow her or ask her to go home to rest.

It was just a change of place to watch over, with a little more space for activities.

Because they had to rest on New Year's Day, Qiao Yihua moved the New Year's Eve party forward to the 31st. On that day, everyone in the family went together, including several drivers.

Xiaozhen shook her head very firmly and refused to go.

Time has not been long enough for everyone to forget everything, and they will not forget what happened a year ago. Almost all of his career was ruined by one person. Many people do not know her, and many people do know her. If she goes, it will probably only spoil the fun.

Everyone is leaving, and someone must be watching her. It seems that the task is the house. He parked the car outside the gate and dozed in the car alone.

Not long after, someone drove over, so they locked the gate and left together.

Xiaozhen watched everything on the second-floor balcony.

The whole building was quiet, and a slight cold wind blew over, which was very biting.

She was lying on the bed, not knowing whether she was asleep or not, and only heard a shaking "creaking" sound, as if the house was about to collapse.

The shaking became more and more severe, and the wind rushed in through the window. The trees in the attic began to collapse, hitting her head and waking her up. It was a dream.

Only then did she realize that the mural at the head of the bed had fallen.

Xiaozhen rubbed her head and moved the mural frame to the ground.

She has always disliked living in a duplex, always feeling a sense of weirdness.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the door opened by itself. Qiao Yihua was wearing all black, and because the lamp was dim, the figure scared her.

Qiao Yihua turned on the light at the door and looked over to see Xiaozhen sweating profusely.

But this person was indeed more embarrassing and frightening than a ghost. Xiaozhen was instinctively afraid when he came over.

Her mouth began to tremble, "You...you go out first, I'll change clothes."

Qiao Yihua was stunned for a moment and didn't say much, then stepped back and walked downstairs.

Xiaozhen put on a coat. She didn't really have anything to say. She didn't want to explain, didn't want to please, and didn't want to say some corny "brother-sister love" like before. How deep is it.

Before Qiao Yihua walked down the stairs, Xiaozhen said behind her: "I know you won't forgive me."

He turned around, without any expression or emotion, and seemed to look at her with some doubt.

Xiaozhen walked down the stairs and stopped when she was one step higher, looking at him straight, and repeated: "I know you won't forgive me, and I won't forgive you either."

This was the first sentence they said when they were alone.

Qiao Yihua stood there motionless, with no expression on her face. Xiaozhen's tone was very calm but serious.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Yihua didn't know whether he nodded mechanically or agreed with this sentence, went downstairs and returned to the room, and walked out a little while later, with the sound of the car starting, leaving here.

Wu Ma and the others didn't come back until after one o'clock in the morning.

Xiaozhen lay in bed in a daze for a long time, and she didn't know that tears were flowing.

She always wanted something that she couldn't get, and what she longed for always went crookedly farther and farther away.

On the first day, everyone was resting. Wu Ma and Xia Jie went shopping and called Xiaozhen to say that it was very lively outside, with colorful lights and flowers, and came to take a look.

Xiaozhen's bedside phone rarely rang, and Wu Ma was the first to call.

She didn't want to go out, but after thinking about it, she felt uncomfortable holding it in.

After getting dressed and preparing to go out, she looked over from the balcony and found that there was no driver. If she walked from here to the street to take a taxi, it would take at least twenty minutes.

Xiaozhen just went downstairs and ran into Qiao Yihua chatting with someone in the living room.

The man was called Lao Huang and Xiao Zhen. When she first came to Shanghai, the person she saw most was Qiao Yihua's creditor. During that summer vacation, he came to the company every day to collect debts from him. The 50,000 yuan was his family fortune that he had earned for many years. He threw a tantrum every day, and squatted in the company eating steamed buns and white rice and refused to leave. Qiao Yihua was young at the time, and he still didn't believe him even though he swore to pay back the money, so he started fighting with him.

But it was useless.

Xiao Chun called him Lao Huang Gou every day when he passed by.

Lao Huang was not decent, not just ugly, but a little scary, and sometimes he would scare Xiao Zhen who was passing by with his teeth and claws.

Not long after, Qiao Yihua had money and gave it to him with interest, and this man wanted to invest again.

Originally, Lao Huang thought Qiao Yihua would not agree, but he agreed very readily, and they have been cooperating until now.

Last year, when Qiao Yihua got into trouble, the public opinion in the company seemed to want to remove him. Lao Huang came back from another place and didn't know what was going on. He came up and sat at the front desk of the office with a stick and shouted, "So-and-so is going to rebel, he has no conscience." He even openly named Zhang Jianhua, saying that he was a traitor and had ulterior motives, and that it was like a political struggle.

Not long after, Zhang Jianhua led a large group of people to leave. Old Huang kept saying to Qiao Yihua, "Look, I was right, wasn't I? I'm familiar with "The Art of War" and watch "Yongzheng Dynasty" every day. No one can escape my eyes."

It was just in line with the situation. At this time last year, the whole country was watching this palace political struggle drama, and Qiao Yihua's messy handling almost got him involved.

Old Huang saw Xiaozhen coming down the stairs, and he stood up and clapped his hands a few times, like a lunatic.

"Oh, this little girl is very graceful, and she is white and tender raised by General Qiao. I guess your brother secretly gave you a lot of good things behind my back. Even the ugly ones can become beautiful."

He said that Xiaozhen was a tomboy at first and didn't look good, but for someone in his forties, a beautiful woman is long hair, big eyes, white and tender, and can't be fat or thin.

Xiaozhen was a little embarrassed and stood there, not knowing what to say.

Old Huang kept waving at her to come over, and said to Qiao Yihua: "Look, look, following Mr. Qiao, a poor girl has become a rich lady. Otherwise, if my daughter is thrown on the street, you can pick her up and raise her for a few years. She can even marry you and be your wife."

He was a little careless, but his daughter was indeed about the same age as Xiaozhen, and he himself got married and had children early.

Xiaozhen stood by the sofa without saying anything, and wanted to say

that she wanted to go out several times. It was observed that Qiao Yihua did not want her to go out.

Old Huang insisted on letting Xiaozhen sit down, and continued: "Nowadays, villains love to sow discord. They have to make others' wives and children separate to be happy. I am so loyal to my wife, but every day there are women calling me to wash my feet and take a bath, which is very annoying. Not only that, my wife's women in the beauty salon and other places coax her to share the property with me every day. What kind of people are they? Don't let them sow discord with you."

Old Huang is from the north and speaks very straightforwardly.

Xiaozhen sat on the sofa next to him with her head down and didn't say anything.

Old Huang started to talk nonsense, "Xiaozhen, you are not young anymore, and your brother is also divorced. Although his reputation is not very good, why don't you just make do with him? It's good for everyone."

Xiaozhen was shocked by his nonsense.

"I didn't think about it."

Old Huang "tsk tsk" a few times, "You are not young anymore, why not think about it? My daughter is born when I am your age, and she is still young. In ancient times, you would be an old maid."

"You are old. You look old and ugly." She was really angry, got up and said I'm going out to play and went out.

Old Huang smiled and watched Xiaozhen leave, and said: "Old Qiao, Xiaozhen doesn't have any feelings for you, there is no chance for you two."

He was still very heartbroken.

Qiao Yihua said lightly: "It's normal for her to hate me, but it's not her fault. I am the same."

He couldn't let it go until he knew that she had a miscarriage.

The reason why he couldn't let go was not the accusation of what he did to her, but the denial of the past. Those years were full of unreserved love and dedication, without any consideration of rewards and gains and losses, and the result was almost ruin.

Whether Xiaozhen did it intentionally or unintentionally for her own purpose, they were thorns in each other's hearts.

Before she didn't appear in front of him, the resentment in his heart would increase and accumulate, blurring the image of this person, only emotions.

After she appeared in front of him, she was a mortal, weakening a lot of complaints and unwillingness.

There was always a flash of a very small girl with a big belly, struggling, bleeding, and finally falling in a pool of blood. This picture pulled out a lot of thorns that he had buried in his heart for more than half a year, and he was relieved a lot. It's better to be relieved than to torture himself.

For so many days, she didn't say a word, and the first sentence she said to him at the beginning was that she would not forgive.

In the past, Qiao Yihua would have been cut into pieces, but as he grew older, he could see things more easily and think more freely.

Old Huang continued, "What are you going to do? Lock her up until she's an old maid in her seventies or eighties."

Qiao Yihua said, "She'll tell you when she wants to leave."

Xiaozhen won't tell you. She's been locked up and suppressed by all kinds of people since she was a child. Unless it's an extreme moment, she will be very accustomed to the environment and unwilling to change.

The relationship between them did not ease. Even later, when they sat together in the yard to bask in the sun, Xiaozhen slept with her hair loose, and he sat next to her and played with the dog. They didn't say a word, and were very stubborn.

The weather was very good on the eve of the Spring Festival. After Wu Ma was done with her work, she would sit in the yard to pick out things that had been frozen in the refrigerator for too long. She was busy and there were only two people left.

Xiaozhen's long hair covered her eyes and face, like a spirited little girl. She said, it seems like she's just eating and waiting to die.

Qiao Yihua was answering the phone next to her, and her assistant was waiting outside.

Hearing Xiaozhen hum and say something, he turned sideways and asked, "What?"

Then he frowned and gestured at her hair. After so many years, he still couldn't get used to her hair being loose and covering her eyes like a ghost.

Xiaozhen leaned against him and ignored him, continuing to sleep with her eyes squinting.

"Everyone will die in the end, and it doesn't matter what form of death it takes. Do you still hope to change the fate of mankind and break out of the universe?"

Xiaozhen laughed when she heard his words, turned her head and glanced at Qiao Yihua, as if he had also seen through life. She sat up straight and brushed her hair aside. She said, "But life spans several decades, and some people suffer all their lives, while others enjoy happiness all their lives. How unbalanced and unfair it is."

"What is fairness? This word is used in law, not for people or animals. But the law can't guarantee fairness, so how can people be fair?"

"All people are born equal, and there are no kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species."

Qiao Yihua said, "All people are born equal in the right to life. No matter how rich and powerful one is, one will still grow old, get sick or die. No one has the ability to rejuvenate and live forever, not even Qin Shihuang. But it is true that there are no kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species. In any era, everyone has the right to break out, but this kind of thing still belongs to a minority. Is the success of a minority fair? Whether it is the priority right to know or the bonus is given to those among them first, there are also categories and levels after success. You can accept the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle in the animal world, but why can't you accept it in reality? Humans are not much more advanced than animals."

He really has the energy to tell her these things, but what Xiaozhen is thinking in her heart is four words, you are so long-winded.
