Chapter 161 Pretend not to know
"The day Qiao Qingqing came back from the United States, Qiao Ximo went to Qiao's house to borrow money from Qiao Daye to pay for her mother's surgery, but was kicked out by Qiao Daye's wife. Later, Qiao Daye may have talked to you because he couldn't bear to give up.
Qiao Qingqing handed it over so she found Qiao Ximo. It is said that she helped Qiao Ximo's mother to pay the 500,000 surgical fee. However, Qiao Qingqing did not come back because of the typhoon in the United States, so she returned to China these days.
That’s probably what happened.”
Hearing Tang Yunchen's words, Chi Yeche's brows furrowed even more.
"I see."
"Then Che...what are you going to do?"
Should they tell Qiao Daye that they already know the truth and replace Qiao Qingqing, or...
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Yeche's deep voice sounded.
"Pretend not to know."
Chi Yeche's answer did not surprise Tang Yunchen. He had already expected that Chi Yeche would make such a decision, because for him, Qiao Ximo was no longer a tool to take revenge on Qiao Daye.
If Qiao Ximo knew that Chi Yeche knew that she was not Qiao Qingqing, Qiao Ximo would definitely run away from her. Since she was not Qiao Qingqing, Chi Yeche had no reason to imprison her.
"Okay, I understand." Tang Yunchen responded and hung up the phone.
Putting the phone aside, Chi Yeche stared at Qiao Ximo's peaceful, baby-like sleeping face in front of him with his deep, downcast eyes.
He finally understood why Qiao Ximo said her nickname was Momo, and why her reaction was always slow when he called her Qingqing in the first place.
Because she is not Qiao Qingqing, she is Qiao Ximo...
He frowned lightly, looking at Qiao Ximo with eyes full of practice, and gently stroked Qiao Ximo's soft hair with his big hands.
She must have suffered a lot, right?
She was obviously not Qiao Qingqing, but he was forced to pretend to be her, and he made her suffer even more.
As if feeling the warmth from Chi Yeche's palm stroking his hair, Qiao Ximo's feather-like eyelashes fanned gently like a butterfly opening its wings, and slowly opened them.
A pair of eyes as clear as water ran into Chi Yeche's complicated eyes as soon as he opened them.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Ximo's voice sounded a little hoarse as the first thing he said when he woke up in the morning.
Chi Yeche put away the complicated light in his eyes. The morning sunlight shone on his handsome face, as if a layer of light had passed through it. There was a slight smile on his sexy lips: "Nothing."
"What time is it now?" Qiao Ximo asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"It's eight o'clock."
"What?——" After hearing Chi Yeche's words, Qiao Ximo sat up from his arms in a second.
I have to go to school today on Monday! It’s already class time!
When she came back yesterday because she was too tired, she planned to rest first before getting up to take a shower and set the alarm clock. However, there was a power outage and thunder, causing her to fall asleep directly in Chi Yeche's arms.
Qiao Ximo hurriedly jumped out of bed, took her school uniform from the closet and rushed into the bathroom.
After quickly washing up and changing into school uniform, when Qiao Ximo came out of the bathroom, Chi Yeche was still lying lazily on the bed.
"I'm going to school." Qiao Ximo said, picking up the schoolbag on the floor and hurriedly left the room.
It was already the second class in the morning when Qiao Ximo came to school.
"Momo, why are you late?"
Qiao Ximo twitched her lips in embarrassment: "I forgot my alarm clock yesterday."
After the second class, it was morning session time. When the bell rang, the students all walked towards the door of the class.
Qiao Ximo found that Jun Haochen, who was sitting in the first row, did not move but sat there with an expressionless face.
As if feeling Qiao Ximo's gaze, Jun Haochen raised his head to meet Qiao Ximo's eyes, and gave Qiao Ximo a warm and bright smile as usual, but Qiao Ximo felt... Jun Haochen
This smile is very hollow and forced.
"Classmate Jun...what happened?" Qiao Ximo asked Tang Xiaorui in a low voice.
"Uh...this..." Tang Xiaorui didn't know whether to tell Qiao Ximo, because this was not a good thing.
Seeing Tang Xiaorui's reaction, Qiao Ximo knew that something must have happened to Jun Haochen.
"What happened?"
"Actually, I'm not particularly sure. I heard from other students that there is news that Jun Haochen's father has been involved in corruption and bribery. I don't know exactly who it is at the moment, but the public generally speculates that it is Jun Haochen's father.
…”
Tang Xiaorui's words made Qiao Ximo's eyes widen suddenly. She seemed to have thought of something...
What Chi Yeche said to herself that day rang in her mind again.
Chi Yeche warned him that if he got too close to Jun Haochen again and he knew... Although Qiao Ximo didn't know Chi Yeche particularly well, she knew that he did what he said. If he wanted to touch Jun Haochen, he would use his
With his strength, Jun Haochen will definitely be miserable.
So is Chi Yeche taking action now?
But she had obviously obeyed and kept a distance from Jun Haochen.
Could it be that...Chi Yeche sent someone to follow her? That day at the Japanese Haunted House...she was carried out by Jun Haochen. Did Chi Yeche know about it?
Thinking about Qiao Ximo, she couldn't help biting her lips in self-blame.
If something he shouldn't have happened to Jun Haochen because of his harm, Qiao Ximo would be very sorry.
"Momo, what's wrong with you?" Tang Xiaorui asked, noticing that Qiao Ximo's expression was strange, gently shaking her arm.
If she saw it correctly, Qiao Ximo's eyes were filled with self-blame.
But this matter has nothing to do with Qiao Ximo. Why should she blame herself? Maybe Qiao Ximo is worried about Jun Haochen?
Qiao Ximo reluctantly smiled at Tang Xiaorui: "It's nothing."
On the surface, he pretended to be nothing, but Qiao Ximo's heart was beating violently.
According to Tang Xiaorui's words, it has not been completely determined whether the corrupt person is Jun Haochen's father, right? It's just that everyone guesses that he is Jun Haochen's father.
Maybe... this is a warning from Chi Yeche to himself? Let her know that if she doesn't listen to him and keep her distance from Jun Haochen, he will definitely do what he says.
No! Qiao Ximo doesn’t want anyone to get hurt because of her!
So what should she do now?
Are you trying to please Chi Yeche to get him to remove the news?
Apart from this, Qiao Ximo couldn't think of any other way.
But, how can she please Chi Yeche?
An idea suddenly flashed into Qiao Ximo's mind...
Something she bought a long time ago has been hidden in her closet. Maybe now it's her place to use it?
No matter what, she doesn't want to see anyone get hurt because of her!
