There Are Always Teachers Asking Parents - Chapter 45

The night is silent, and the street lights are mottled.

The middle-aged man is handsome, kind eyebrows and good-looking, dressed casually, full of energy, with a cheerful smile on his mouth. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Lu Zhiqiao, but he was also taken aback: “Director Lu?”

The woman in front of her looked about the same age as Yanyan, with a cold face, and looked like a professional manager. He certainly remembered that Director Lu was responsible for the cooperation negotiations and agreement signing with the New Taipei Group last year. At that time, he was very impressed with her and felt that this person was a material for big things. If the two were not for a cooperative relationship, he would have been jealous of seeing Xinbei got such an executive.

“You live here too?” he asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Zhiqiao could speak, Lu Wei suddenly called to his mother, and then rushed to hug her arm.

Dad Qi was even more surprised. He looked at the little girl, then at Lu Zhiqiao, “This is your daughter?” After speaking, he turned to look at his daughter.

I almost draw countless question marks on my forehead.

Qi Yan froze, his face was very ugly, and he seemed to have done something shameful at that moment, wishing to hide away. She looked at Lu Zhiqiao nervously, knowing that she couldn’t hide anything today, so she was more frank and turned to look at her father, “Dad, this is the neighbor I just told you about.”

After speaking quickly, he was taken aback for a while, as if there was something wrong.

Neighbor?

This title is too alienated, but apart from neighbors, it seems that there is no other suitable identity. Said it was a friend? The elders in their second-generation circle often communicated with each other, and the old father certainly didn’t believe it.

Add that is the parent of the student? Her old father turned his face back and told Ms. Lin, and then Ms. Lin bombed her on the phone: yeah, don’t go too close to the parents of the students, it’s okay, the teacher is okay, if something is wrong, the teacher is wrong. It’s the teacher’s fault…

Can recite her for half an hour.

or…

girlfriend.

She was looking forward to this identity, but didn’t dare to delusion too much.

Even more impossible.

Their relationship is far from that far, saying so without permission is disrespectful to Lu Zhiqiao. Even if the two are, she will not rush to introduce her to her parents in an informal setting. What’s more, she would not allow rush situations to occur. If Lu Zhiqiao was her girlfriend, she would definitely tell the world the first time.

Therefore, subconsciously, only the strange identity of the neighbor is the most suitable.

No matter if you talk to your parents on the phone or at home, let’s fool around first, but when Lu gets to know Qiao’s face…

Qi Yan felt a guilty conscience inexplicably, and his gaze carefully turned to Lu Zhiqiao’s face, observing her expression, the awkward smile on the corner of his mouth could not be restrained.

Between the two street lamps, the light was not so strong. Lu Zhiqiao’s expression was indifferent, and no emotions could be seen in her gloomy eyes. She suddenly heard the words neighbor, her throat was blocked, and then Qi Yan’s obviously worried gaze was met. Raising the corners of the mouth shallowly is the default.

Neighbor.

“What a coincidence?” Dad Qi was happy, and suddenly looked at the girl with a somewhat reproachful look, “Yanyan, why do you only bring the children and not Director Lu? I didn’t invite others to have a meal.”

Lu Zhiqiao looked at the middle-aged man and then at Qi Yan. The eyebrows and eyes of the two were indeed a bit similar, especially the nose. She was immersed in unbelievable coincidences for a while, and she did not expect that the person who signed the cooperation agreement with her last year turned out to be Qi Yan’s father.

Both have the surname Qi, and they look alike.

She should have thought of it long ago.

She thought that Qi Yan was really the so-called “daughter of a nouveau riche.” He had a little money at home, or he had demolished a few apartments, he had a higher education, and he was a little bit literate. However, since life started when I met Qi Yan, there was not a day I could leave this person, and in the end, I went around and went back to the original point.

But compared to this, she realized a more serious matter.

Perhaps, the cooperation with Senyang is not because of her ability, but because of Qi Yan behind the scenes…

There was a bang in his head, as if something had collapsed. Lu Zhiqiao hadn’t had time to think about it. His thoughts were interrupted by Dad Qi’s words, his arms clasped his daughter’s shoulders, and looked at Qi Yan blankly.

“She’s busy, next time.” Qi Yan first replied to his old father, then looked at Lu Zhiqiao nervously, and explained with a smile: “Today I went to my parents for dinner. I was afraid that Niuniu was alone, so I brought her over.”

It was a matter of the child, she didn’t dare to challenge Lu Zhiqiao’s bottom line, she confessed in her mind and was very worried. Moreover, she forgot to send a report on WeChat. In case Lu Zhiqiao blamed her for bringing her daughter out without authorization, the distance between them finally got closer, would they have to go back again?

Qi Yan thought pessimistically, his smile gradually dissipated, and his loss was covered.

“Mom, I wanted to come out with Aunt Qi, don’t blame her.” Lu Wei said suddenly.

Lu Zhiqiao was stunned.

Why did you change your name to Auntie?

Qi Yan was taut all over, becoming more guilty, and was about to change the subject. Dad Qi suddenly said with a smile: “We just finished eating, we went out for a walk, took a walk, and bought some fruit at the door by the way.” The girl glanced at her and her eyes were meaningful.

“Why are you here?” Qi Yan then changed the subject.

When the father and daughter sang together, Lu Zhiqiao was interrupted and subconsciously said: “My boss lives here, there is something wrong with coming here.”

“President Shu?” Dad Qi smiled again, “I was a coincidence when I met her in the community last time.”

This area is very large, residents usually drive in and out, and the space in front of and around their homes is also sufficient for activities. In this way, the two families living at the door and deep inside may not be able to touch them for a few years. , Naturally it is a coincidence.

Lu Zhiqiao smiled politely: “That’s really fateful.”

Subconsciously, she still regarded this middle-aged man as President Qi and couldn’t connect him with Qi Yan. So when she saw Qi Yan next to him, she felt a little awkward, and she couldn’t help but treat each other with formulaic etiquette.

“Mom, are you going to sit at Grandpa Qi’s house?” Lu Wei pulled his mother’s arm and smiled sweetly.

Dad Qi nodded in agreement, but Qi Yan’s face changed slightly.

“…”

This child.

Lu Zhiqiao calmly looked at Dad Qi naturally, and smiled apologetically: “I’m sorry, Mr. Qi, it’s not very convenient today. If you don’t mind interrupting, I will bring my daughter to visit you another day.”

“Hey, how could it be an interruption? Yanyan has been talking about getting along with your neighbors today…” Dad Qi was always cheerful and in a particularly good mood, but he was interrupted by the girl student before he finished speaking.

Qi Yan interrupted with an awkward smile: “It’s okay, you can come anytime next time. If you have something to do, get busy first. Let’s go shopping for fruit. I’ll take Niuniu back later.”

There was a panic in her eyes, and her smile was very stiff.

Lu Zhiqiao couldn’t tell, but in just a few minutes, more and more doubts accumulated in her heart. She also needed to calm down and sort out her thoughts, so she went down the steps and responded with a smile, saying hello to her daughter. : “Little girl, listen to Aunt Qi…”

The little girl nodded and returned to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan held the child in one hand, and the old father’s arm in the other, and continued to walk forward. Dad Qi reluctantly emphasized: “Director Lu must come next time.”

“Okay.” Lu Zhiqiao smiled happily.

The three figures gradually moved away and disappeared at the corner of the community gate.

The street lamp that left people still shined brightly, but it looked a little deserted. The surrounding area was originally lush with vegetation. In the three or four months of autumn and winter, the leaves of the trees all fell out, revealing the bare branches, and the place where the light is endless is black and bleak because of the openness.

Lu Zhiqiao stood alone under the lamp, his slender shadow stretched long by the lamp, and faintly projected on the ground. Xu Shi’s sudden amount of information was too great, her mind was empty at the moment, and she couldn’t figure it out, and Qi Yan’s face flashed back and forth in front of her eyes, clear for a while and hazy for a while.

She stood here, always feeling a sense of nothingness, as if she didn’t belong to this world.

But I just saw the person who should have been in my own world.

Qi Yan is unfamiliar, and her daughter is also unfamiliar. Only she is still her, isolated and excluded, watching from a distance.

A small black electric donkey drove from the end of the road, and the lights stopped steadily in front of Lu Zhiqiao from far and near. She suddenly regained consciousness, and she saw Shu Minxi smiling at her sideways and shook her hand: “What do you think? .”

“…”

Lu Zhiqiao glanced at the electric car, the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, and he sat up, holding Shu Minxi’s shoulders with his hands, and then there was wind in his ears, and the two of them headed towards the depths of the community.

…

The building where Shu Minxi lives is the farthest from the door, and the quietest. It takes only seven or eight minutes to ride a small electric donkey. Lu Zhiqiao hadn’t been in an electric car for a long time, and became a little scared as soon as he speeded up. The hands holding on to his shoulders fell on his waist unconsciously, and he hugged tightly.

With the courtyard door open, Saki Aoki stood at the door of the house and looked around. He saw the car enter the courtyard. Before the corners of his mouth could spread out, his eyes fell on the hands holding Shu Minxi’s waist, his smile frozen on his lips and eyes. The light went dark in a flash. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and walked forward uncontrollably with her legs.

“Miss Lu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly.” She smiled lightly, and enthusiastically held Lu Zhiqiao’s arm, leading people away from Shu Minxi’s side.

Lu Zhiqiao just got out of the car and was helped by her so that he stood still, raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and smiled apologetically: “The road is too blocked, I’m really sorry.”

“I didn’t wait long, I deliberately asked the nanny to cook later, and it’s just right now.” Shu Minxi refuted Sha Ji without even looking at her, parked the car, and came over to take Lu Zhiqiao’s arm, as if to grab someone.

“Zhi Qiao, it’s a commonplace meal. You don’t pay much attention to it. In private, you are always so polite and easy to be pinched as a soft persimmon.”

Lu Zhiqiao smiled awkwardly, his left arm was pulled by Sha Ji, and his right arm was held by Shu Minxi. The two were in a rivalry. No one wanted to give in. Unlucky for her, it became a sandwich biscuit now.

After entering the house, the two finally let go at the same time.

As Shu Minxi said, it was just an ordinary home-cooked meal. The table was round, and Sha Ji wanted to sit next to Shu Minxi, but was repelled by the latter’s warning in his eyes, but did not give up, only moved the chair away by one position, and sat down in peace.

Shu Minxi doesn’t care about her, eats herself, and chats with Lu Zhiqiao from time to time.

Since Sha Ji’s arrival, Lu Zhiqiao has always been in contact with Shu Minxi in private, feeling that he is doing something disgraceful, like stealing fish, embarrassing and uncomfortable. She knew a little about the matter between the two, but she never asked, after all, she didn’t live very clearly.

Being caught in the middle, being regarded as an imaginary enemy by one party, no one can bear it.

After eating, Shu Minxi asked Sa Ji to make tea, and pulled Lu Zhiqiao to sit on the sofa. Lu Zhiqiao looked at the reluctant back and sighed, “After all, it’s the customer’s daughter. Is it really good for you to be like this?”

“This time is different from the past.” Shu Minxi sneered, her slender eyelashes trembling, “We don’t rely on the Aoki family now, but the old man put it on himself.”

“Then you don’t want to anger her anymore, naive.”

Seeing through, Shu Minxi reached out and pinched her arm, put aside her face, and looked gloomy.

When Lu Zhiqiao first joined the company ten years ago, this person was the boss of his boss, about the same level as Chi Nian now. At that time, she had outstanding ability and was promoted very quickly. Within two years, she became Shu Minxi’s direct subordinate and was highly valued and cared for. After that, the two gradually developed a relationship between teachers and friends.

Most of the time, Lu Zhiqiao treats her as a boss, three points friendly and seven points respectful.

To say that the person Lu Zhiqiao admired most in the company was Shu Minxi, except for the simple chairman. Xu is the same as women. Seeing that they have struggled for many years and are still strong and independent after heavy winds and heavy rains, she feels more powerful and able to sustain it.

But in the same way, they are so unfortunate.

Just like a curse, people who succeed in their careers have always had a bumpy emotional path.

Will she be the same.

“Are you getting better?” Lu Zhiqiao asked softly.

“Um.”

Shu Minxi moved her neck, turned her face, raised her hand and tucked her hair, revealing a faint wrinkle at the end of her eyes. After all, the years left marks on her face.

“But the chairman’s situation is not very good. She was discharged from the hospital last week and went to the hospital again yesterday… When I was away, she drank desperately and drank stomach bleeding, but I really couldn’t watch her 24 hours a day…” She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said nothing.

Lu Zhiqiao frowned and patted her shoulder lightly: “Don’t be too tired, you can’t be too busy, I…should have time.”

Just wait for this sentence.

Shu Minxi raised the corners of her mouth, smiled sideways, and suddenly held Lu Zhiqiao’s hand, her expression gradually serious: “It’s better for you to preside over the overall situation, I’m more relieved. When I’m not in the company, I will trouble you a lot, and Secretary Jiang. , In special times, I let her listen to you.”

Lu Zhiqiao was taken aback and looked into her eyes blankly.

At first this sounded like it meant to be entrusted to the country, and I didn’t know if I thought something major had happened. Although Lu Zhiqiao has ambitions to climb up, she has never played emotional cards. He speaks by ability. He was caught off guard at the moment, as if being hinted, she didn’t know how to respond for a while.

“Wait until the evaluation at the end of April, the board of directors…” Shu Minxi continued on his own.

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft call from the pantry, and then something was knocked over, crashed and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Shu Minxi paused, stood up and ran over.

The white porcelain fragments were scattered all over the floor, mixed with light yellow tea, Sha Ji stood aside with his hands folded, his eyebrows wrinkled, and his expression was very painful. Shu Minxi’s heart tightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand, and asked nervously, “What’s the matter?”

The delicate and white skin on the back of his hand was red, and it was obviously scalded. Sha Ji looked at her aggrievedly, his mouth moved, but did not speak.

Shu Minxi tightened her eyebrows, a trace of distress appeared in her eyes, but soon disappeared, as if she was only angry. She grabbed Sha Ji’s wrist and walked out, pushed the person on the sofa, went to get the medicine box by herself, and dig out a scald cream.

“Give me your hand.” She said coldly.

Sha Ji obediently stretched out the scalded hand.

Shu Minxi held her fingertips, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her thin wrists, and then unscrewed the scald cream, squeezed out a lump of light brown paste, carefully and gently applied it to the reddish skin, and blew it gently. Blow, and then apply a thick layer.

A slight cooling sensation, the burning sensation was significantly reduced.

Sha Ji looked at her, her nose suddenly sour, her dark eyes covered with moisture, and she couldn’t help biting her lip.

“How many years have you been making tea so that it can be hot?” Shu Minxi twisted the lid without lifting her eyelids, and said mercilessly in her mouth.

“I accidentally…”

“You did it on purpose.”

“I do not…”

The two seemed to be arguing and arguing, but in fact no one had a real temper.

Lu Zhiqiao watched silently, seeing Shu Minxi’s face full of indifference, and the unbearable nervousness in his eyes, and suddenly remembered that the day when he was bitten by a snake in the tropical rain forest, Qi Yan did the same, pretending to be so calm and calm. In fact, my fingers were shaking so much that I couldn’t tie the knot, and I almost hit someone while driving.

For the first time in more than ten years, she has tasted the feeling of being cared about and being nervous.

But people’s hearts are fickle, and feelings are such a fragile thing. The so-called vows of the mountain alliance and each other, growing old, are people’s beautiful illusions, and even things like love are themselves over-beautified.

She looks so cold, but her heart is very soft, always moved by the little warmth in life. If she is caught in a whirlpool of emotions, any business trip will be irreversible, and her daughter hasn’t grown up yet, and she can’t afford that risk.

But all people have weaknesses. She knows where her weaknesses are, so she builds strong defenses one after another to prevent anyone from attacking. Therefore, no one can really hurt her, except for herself.

But at this moment, her inner defenses were already dilapidated, and the ruins were crumbling. Every time she thought of Qi Yan, a corner collapsed.

She must be hypocritical.

Back to the community, it was already past nine o’clock.

The night was dark and the wind was high outside, thick and heavy clouds covering the sky, there was no shadow of the moon. Lu Zhiqiao parked the car, locked the door, and walked into the elevator with heavy steps. Watching the two heavy doors slowly closing, a sense of suffocation suddenly spread in the small space.

The emotions that had been temporarily held in the bottom of my heart were pouring out like a flood at this moment, densely covering her overwhelmed heart, and suddenly she felt so tired.

Now I just want to go home, take a bath, hide in the room, bury myself in the bed, and cry happily.

-Ding

On the ninth floor, the elevator door opened slowly, Lu Zhiqiao breathed a little bit, suffocating a breath, walked out quickly, and suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Qi Yan squatted in front of the elevator door, with his back leaning against the wall, his hair was rolled up in a bun, his arms hugged his knees, embarrassed and lonely. Hearing the movement of the door opening, she immediately raised her head, her gloomy eyes filled with joy, she hurriedly got up and grabbed Lu Zhiqiao’s hand, “You are back…”

Her voice was a little dumb, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly tired.

There was a gust of cold wind in the corridor, and both hands were cold. I don’t know how long I have been waiting here.

Lu Zhiqiao looked at her quietly, and saw the tension and anxiety in her eyes, loss and concern, and his heart softened in an instant, lowered his eyelids, and whispered: “Don’t you think you should explain what happened today.”

In the next second, she heard Qi Yan’s breath of relief, heavy and uncontrollable.

“Well, I just wanted to explain to you.” Qi Yan nodded repeatedly, twisted his eyebrows and smiled. Xu realized that his hands were cold, and quickly let go of her, and instead grabbed her wrists, “Let’s go in and say.”

Lu Zhiqiao pursed his lips, did not speak, and followed her to open the door to 902.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Zhiqiao habitually changed his shoes. Before he could move, he was pulled by a force, and then fell into the embrace full of fragrance and warmth. With two thin and powerful arms wrapped around his waist, he couldn’t move for a while. .

“Qi Yan—”

“Hold and say.” Qi Yan interrupted, “I am afraid if I don’t hold you.”

Lu Zhiqiao didn’t struggle anymore, as he died, his whole body softened, and he nestled in Qi Yan’s arms bonelessly, and then slowly, his hands clung to her shoulders.

Her hair was loosely pulled, and the shreds floated back and forth on Lu Zhiqiao’s face, itchy, with a fresh fragrance, familiar and reassuring.

“My mother called me this afternoon and said she missed me and wanted me to go home for dinner, but you were very busy working overtime these past two days. I thought that Niuniu was at home alone. I was worried, so I took her back together… “Qi Yan pressed her cheek to her ear, and said briefly and slowly.

It was an unexpected situation at the time, and Qi Yan couldn’t think more, but even so, she had to worry about Lu Zhiqiao’s feelings, and made a compromise choice under consideration.

She explained to Ms. Lin the same way, the neighbor is busy, she will take care of it.

Ms. Lin has read too much social news and has not allowed her to over-contact with students’ parents in the past two years. She was also afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so she had to discuss with Niuniu and call her aunt at home instead of Teacher Qi.

Everything is unknown, naturally the simpler the better.

The parents were confused and passed by, who would have thought that the chance encounter would be caught off guard and almost exposed.

Qi Yan confessed all of it honestly, closed his eyes, and waited for the person in his arms to let go.

“I didn’t let you explain this.” Lu Zhiqiao’s tone was a little cold, and he couldn’t tell the complicated feeling in his heart.

Neighbors, they were neighbors, Qi Yan didn’t say anything wrong, let alone explain to her, but such an explanation caused her to give birth to a slight sorrow for no reason, and her throat was blocked in panic.

Except for neighbors, there is indeed no other identity to introduce.

One night|The love object? friend? students’ parents? Neither one is as decent as a neighbor can give her.

At this moment, Qi Yan is like a frightened bird. Any slight change in the person in her arms can cause her to panic. She tilted her head and kissed Lu Zhiqiao’s earlobe, and coaxed: “Well, what else, you say.”

“Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?”

“what?”

“You are not the daughter of an upstart at all.”

“I am.” Qi Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. “My dad really started as a nouveau riche. He used to run a small business, that kind of local boss… I swear I will not lie to you.”

“You also said, that was before.” Lu Zhiqiao sneered.

She didn’t know what she was obsessed with, or where she was stubborn, the backlog of emotions completely overwhelmed her reason.

She is crazy.

Qi Yan, it’s not the Qi Yan she knows anymore. It’s the daughter of a big group. Maybe she’s playing sultry games that hide her identity. Seeing how other people are stunned without knowing it, it must be. She has a sense of accomplishment, and she is like that clown, who is being played around and struggling with herself, which is really ridiculous.

But soon, Lu Zhiqiao calmed down again.

This is not the point.

“Qi Yan…” She whispered her name in a weak voice, “You tell me, did you secretly help our company and your family?”

After speaking, all her strength was drained. She buried her face in Qi Yan’s neck and closed her eyes.

At that moment, Qi Yan understood everything.

“I said I didn’t, do you believe it?”
