This Damned Sweetness - Chapter 23
Xu Qiao never dreamed that as soon as he opened his house in his lifetime, he would see Cheng’s precious and precious son kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly and begging her to let him go.
But after learning the truth from Cheng Ye’s incoherent narrative, she did not feel very comfortable.
Regardless of whether Cheng Lang did it or Cheng Ye did it, she is a victim and will not change the fact that “she lost to Wen Yue because a third party intervened to make things difficult.”
She was still very annoyed.
So when Cheng Ye held the sapphire bracelet to her presently as if offering a treasure, and asked, “Do you want this bracelet?” Xu Qiao picked up a broom in the courtyard and gave him a bracelet with someone outside. Saw: “Not rare! I’m not rare anymore! Take things that others don’t want and give them to me. Is your EQ as low as the Turpan Basin?”
Cheng Ye took a mouthful of broom hair and dodged in a panic, shouting injustice: “My second brother asked me to come!”
Xu Qiaos broomstick in his hand raked like a pestle: “You dont watch the stove when you throw the pot? That dog man, although a dog, EQ is on Mount Everest anyway! How about I call him now to confront him and see if he wants you Come to apologize and explain, or let you send jewelry?”
“Don’t don’t, I won’t even give you the life of kneeling and kowtow!” Cheng Ye surrendered with a handful of broomsticks on his head, “Okay, let me be honest, in fact, I don’t want to give it away.” Your bracelet, I just want to ask, are you interested in buying it back? No 20 million, I’ll give you a half discount! If you can’t afford the auction price, you can do it! Then what, I have no money to spend…”
“?”
“The begging is coming to your ancestors! No money to spend? You have no money to spend on the bar!” Xu Qiao slapped his face and swept the people out of the house.
Xu Qiao told Zhu Li about this incident as a joke.
Xu Kangrong and Yan Lizhen walked out in a hurry early in the morning. Xu Xun was in school again. She spent the whole morning at home alone, holding her mobile phone and wandering around the bungalow while talking on the phone with Zhu Li who was on the company lunch break. Congee: “Do you think there is no communication in this person’s brain?”
“Swearing people with mental retardation is also so cultured. It’s really enjoyable to listen to you talking.” Zhu Li on the phone laughed loudly. “Hey, have you noticed that you are against you. Recently, all of them have been impoverished, isn’t it? Those who follow you prosper and those who oppose you perish?”
Xu Qiao fiddled with the flower arrangement in the vase in the living room boredly: “Why didn’t Cheng Lang finish the ball?”
“I didn’t do anything wrong this time. I was crazy when I called you last night. The mess was cleaned up this morning. You are not satisfied?”
Xu Qiao snorted softly.
If you are reasonable, you are still satisfied, but why should women be reasonable?
“Even explaining the misunderstanding is so high, let Weibo and brother do it for you, are you satisfied with you?”
“Isn’t it because I was scolded by you? Don’t you remember what happened last night?”
“What happened?” Xu Qiao looked innocent, vaguely remembering that he was running wild in the bar, but the specific memory seemed to evaporate with the alcohol.
Zhu Li recites her curse lines affectionately last night.
“…Oh, is that so? It turns out that I really speak truth after drinking.”
“Do you know how much a man’s face is worth? Saying that you are only interested in his money. This is a direct rubbing of human dignity on the ground.”
“But didn’t he just look at my face in the first place? Is it more noble than seeing money? It’s fair!”
Although I always felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but he couldn’t refute it for a while, and Zhu Li gave up arguing with the top-notch players.
“Anyway, if he doesn’t come to me, it’s impossible for me to find him! If he doesn’t contact me within twenty-four hours, I will put him as a fart!” Xu Qiao hummed and said cruelly. Unexpectedly, I heard the password door close with a “click”, and when I turned my head, I saw Xu Kangrong coming back.
“Don’t talk so aggressively, the little girl! Who will be used to you when going out in the future?” Xu Kangrong said with a gloomy face.
Xu Qiao hung up and said strangely, “Why did you get off work so early?”
“Talk about things nearby, and come back by the way to have a light meal.” Xu Kangrong ordered the kitchen to serve food and asked her to serve it together.
“I have eaten it!” Xu Qiao refused.
“Then come and have two bites with your dad!”
Why is this still hypocritical? Xu Qiao glanced at him disgustingly, and sat down at the dining table reluctantly, and drank a bowl of borscht.
Xu Kangrong chatted with her while eating, asking her what she did today, and interrogating her what she planned to do tomorrow.
She was asked impatiently: “Oh, don’t worry, I’m having a headache, I won’t go to drink in these two days!”
“So?” Xu Kangrong glanced at her, “I wanted to arrange you to go out to play.”
Xu Qiao was taken aback for a moment: “Where to go to play?”
“Isn’t it upset that I didn’t photograph the bracelet last night? Go to Europe to relax.”
Upon hearing this news, Xu Qiao, who had been at the bottom of her life for a long time, couldn’t hold her spoon. She had already applied for a visa for the four major fashion weeks, and she didn’t go to any place during the fashion week. Now the visa has not expired.
She put down the spoon and soup bowl, and said excitedly: “Really? When do you leave?”
“As long as you are not too tired, you can do it tomorrow, and someone will book you a ticket later.”
“Of course not tired, how could a beautiful girl be tired!” Xu Qiao got up immediately. What kind of bracelets and Cheng Lang have all become clouds. There is no need to wait twenty-four hours. She can let him go as a fart now. , “I will fly to Paris first, and then I will go to the whole baggage. You can’t regret it!”
“Look at you so good!” Xu Kangrong watched her flew upstairs like a bee with an aura and amusement, and when people left the field of vision, the smile instantly disappeared without a trace.
He turned on the mobile phone that was turned into silent mode, looked at the dozen or so missed calls within five minutes, and let out a sigh of relief, walked out the door and called back: “How is the company?”
On the other end of the phone, the assistant spoke quickly: “The troublemaker has been suppressed, and the news has not spread to the outside world for the time being, but Mr. Townsend came to visit Jin Lu as a surprise visit, and learned from the group of people that you owed wages. So the investment should be yellow…”
Xu Kangrong closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds.
“Mr. Xu,” the assistant said anxiously, “the bank’s loan line is full, what should I do now?”
Xu Kangrong opened his eyes and looked back at the magnificent milky white bungalow behind him. After a long while, he whispered: “You can book a ticket for Qiaoqiao to fly to Paris tomorrow morning.”
Xu Qiaos Paris tour became an after-dinner conversation among the three groups of “Zong Lang and his debauchery” in the next few days.
Cheng Lang and Xu Qiao have not exchanged WeChat messages, and they are still lying in the blacklist of her cold address book. It was impossible to know her current situation.
But the upper circle in Beicheng is so big, and the circle of friends in the upper circle is naturally even smaller.
Jiang Fang has a lot of power in this place, so he contacted a WeChat friend who only liked Xu Qiao, and tried to get the news of her circle of friends for the first time and broadcast it in the group.
Since that day, Cheng Lang gave him the canary with the bird cage because he mentioned “canary”. He felt that Cheng Lang’s attitude towards this woman was unusual, so he took it harder. Xu Qiao teased him.
The painting style in the group gradually distorted into–
Brother Fang: “[Picture] Hey, brother sister, this dress is pretty.”
Brother Fang: “[Picture] Hey, brother and sister, this food is good.”
Brother Fang: “[Video] Wow, this nightclub is a little bit fierce. The ratio of male to female is eight to one. Isnt Lang always sour?”
In fact, Xu Qiao used to be not a person who likes to show off in the circle of friends. He seldom publicized things like watching a show, being a celebrity, and taking pictures with celebrities. After all, the circle of friends is basically fake friends.
But recently it is an exception. Her disappearance a while ago caused her to be troubled by rumors, and she was unwilling to suffer from Waterloo in Lipai, so this time she went to Paris, from eating, drinking and having fun, to clothing, food, housing and transportation, one by one, she advertised them one by one.
Jiang Fang’s gossip material was also enriched.
Unfortunately, Cheng Lang never published a punctuation mark on this.
It is said that silence is the cruelest rejection. A week later, Jiang Fang became bored with his own thoughts. He was worried that Cheng Lang would break his relationship with him, and planned to ask someone out to play cards and send money for compensation.
According to Gao Rui, Cheng Lang was obsessed with working overtime this week and did not return to Xinglin Bay until late at night. So after work, Jiang drove the car to the Lanchen headquarters to personally invite people to show his sincerity.
When he saw him, Cheng Lang looked at him with the dissatisfaction he had accumulated for a week: “The level of leisure of the Lord Jiang is really amazing.”
“Oh, it is said that women are like clothes, and brothers are like siblings, you calm down, I will never mention my brother again…”
Gao Rui vigorously blinked at Jiang Fang, suggesting that he changed his mind.
Jiang Fang slammed the brakes: “Didi Baba, Didi Baba, Didi Baba…” RAP embarrassingly for a while, comparing with Gao Rui’s lips: What’s the matter, is he really angry?
Gao Rui nodded quietly.
If you say that that night, Xu Qiaos phrase “If it werent for being poor at the beginning and being forced by my dad to marry a wealthy family, would I fall in love with the kind of dog man who has nothing but money” was a knowing blow to a man. Then Jiang Fangs scratching operation this week is equivalent to sprinkling salt on peoples fresh woundsXu Qiaos gorgeous circle of friends undoubtedly proves that once she has money, Cheng Lang is not a real fart. .
Gao Rui was sure that Cheng Lang was really angry this time, so even if he wanted to add to the flames, he didn’t dare to persuade him.
The world is so big, this Xu Qiao is no good, there will always be a second Xu Qiao appearing. Gao Rui thought.
Jiang Fang was so stunned by Gao Rui’s attitude that he didn’t dare to touch Cheng Lang’s bad feelings. He slipped on the soles of his feet: “Ah, then you must be busy, I will go first.”
Cheng Lang made a “please” gesture.
The dead silence in the office resumed. Cheng Lang didn’t seem to mean to leave work on time. Gao Rui was about to ask him what he was eating tonight when he heard the phone on his desk vibrate.
Caller ID Jiang Fang.
Cheng Lang flipped through the information, and patiently turned on the hands-free: “So what?”
“There is big news…” Jiang Fang’s voice sounded shocked, “It’s about Xu Qiao…”
Cheng Lang had to hang up without saying anything.
“Don’t hang up!” Jiang Fang stopped in time. “I just got the gossip that Mrs. Xu took a lot of money and ran away with her son!”
Cheng Lang’s index finger stopped abruptly above the red hang-up button, “When did it happen?”
“It seems to be early this morning. This is not right, Yan Lizhen is so snobbish, so abandoning her family and her husband, I can’t stop Jinlu going bankrupt. Will the Xu family repay usury and gambling debts?”
“Where is Xu Kangrong?” Cheng Lang frowned.
“I don’t know whereabouts for the time being, but the news that Yan Lizhen ran away has been leaked. He just had to run if he didn’t want to run, so he might not be in the country anymore.”
Gao Rui shuddered, so he didn’t need Cheng Lang to explain, he immediately went out to call someone to check on Xu Kangrong’s whereabouts.
Jiang Fang thought about it for a moment, and thought of something: “Hey, it’s impossible for the Xu family to be unprepared for such a big event. Xu Kangrong deliberately arranged for Xu Kangrong to go abroad this time?”
Cheng Lang took the phone to his ear: “Look at her Moments today.”
Jiang Fang hung up the phone. A screenshot was sent a quarter of an hour later, showing Xu Qiao having afternoon tea in Milan two minutes ago.
Jiang Fang: “I don’t seem to know yet.”
Cheng Lang pressed the lock screen button, picked up the phone, got up and walked outside.
Gao Rui came in hurriedly at this time: “Mr. Cheng, I found out. Mr. Xu got on the flight to Milan and landed in eight hours. It’s strange… I really want to hide from debt. I should go to those places where people are mixed with dragons in Southeast Asia. Where is Milan?”
Cheng Lang stood upright by the door, slow to move.
“Mr. Cheng?” Gao Rui called him anxiously.
“Because she is in Milan.” Cheng Lang blinked slowly.
Gao Rui was stagnant before realizing who he was talking about.
Seeing this, Xu Kangrong didn’t plan to give up his daughter. This was because he wanted to run with Xu Qiao.
Although he is not sure how much debt the Xu family owes, but this run must be desperate.
Cheng Lang stood by the door without entering or retreating for three full minutes.
Three minutes later, he said: “Stop Xu Kangrong at Milan Airport.”
