Qiao Yuyan's polite tone towards Xiang Dong made everyone in the ward instantly realize that she seemed to have suddenly become indifferent towards Xiang Dong, and there was a sense of distance between them.
Hearing this, Xiang Dong suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't like Qiao Yuyan's deliberately distant attitude.
"Okay, I'll go say hello to Dean Su and ask him to make arrangements for your food and accommodation during your hospitalization." After Xiang Dong said to Qiao Yuyan expressionlessly, he then said to Qiao's mother: "Auntie, please feel free to treat me.
, don’t worry about other things.”
Then he nodded to Mother Qiao, smiled faintly at Qiao Yuyan, turned around and strode out of the ward.
He is a very straightforward person. Now that Qiao Yuyan is about to issue an eviction order, he will not hesitate anymore, let alone explain anything.
Seeing this, Mother Qiao's heart pounded. She couldn't tell whether it was resentment towards her daughter's attitude or disappointment in Xiang Dong's decisive behavior. In short, she felt a sense of fear that the building was about to collapse.
No matter what, Qiao Yuyan's behavior gave people a very bad feeling. Although Qiao's mother understood that this was not her daughter's original intention, she was still ashamed. She raised her hand and wanted to apologize to Xiang Dong to stay.
But no sound came out.
"Brother Dong, please wait a moment." Just when Xiang Dong was about to leave, Father Qiao couldn't help but shouted to Xiang Dong.
His thoughts were different from Qiao's mother. In his opinion, Qiao Yuyan was jealous. Dean Su had just mentioned Su Tong before, and here Qiao Yuyan's attitude towards Xiang Dong suddenly changed. What else could it be if it wasn't jealousy?
No matter what the reason is, the plan he prepared must be implemented. Let Xiang Dong leave and implement it. Only a relatively selfish person like him will put aside his father's position and look at it from the perspective of a bystander.
question.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Dong, who was about to walk to the door, turned around and said calmly.
No matter how disgusted he was with Qiao's father, he couldn't turn a deaf ear to Qiao's father's words because he cared about Qiao Yuyan's feelings.
"Yanyan's tone was not very nice just now. In fact, it was not directed at you, but because she was angry with me. I hope you don't take it to heart." Father Qiao said to Xiang Dong apologetically.
Xiang Dong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Qiao's father to suddenly become like a truly responsible father. However, although he was surprised, he still nodded to Qiao's father and said, "Qiao Yuyan didn't say anything excessive.
It's you who are worrying too much."
At this time, not to mention Xiang Dong, even Qiao Yuyan and her daughter were shocked by Father Qiao's sudden change, as if they had received an electric shock, and their spirits were in a state of half-daze and half-daze.
"That's because you don't understand her. I am her biological father. Of course I know her true thoughts." Father Qiao put on a strict father's look and immediately said to Xiang Dong seriously:
"When Director Wang came back just now, he gave Zhang a hospital cafeteria card. I happened to be taking Mother Qiao out for a walk. I went to the cafeteria to have dinner on the way back. I asked Brother Dong to help us talk about Yanyan. You young people have a common language."
After Qiao's father finished speaking, before anyone could react, he helped Qiao's mother out of the ward, locked the ward, and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
Before leaving the ward, he secretly sprinkled most of the perfume in his pocket next to the bonsai by the door. The smell of this perfume was very similar to the scent of bonsai plants, making it difficult for others to detect.
When Qiao's mother was taken away by Qiao's father, Qiao Yuyan fully recovered from the shock. She glanced at Xiang Dong who was standing there, her heartbeat could not help but beat "dong dong dong" violently, and her hands were intertwined on her chest and she was twisting in confusion.
With.
Xiang Dong was also stunned by Father Qiao's behavior. Is this the same Father Qiao who is so philistine that people are infinitely annoying? Isn't such a feeling that cannot be described in words the mellow, broad and boundless father's love?
But his intuition told Xiang Dong that this was not Qiao's father's original intention, and Qiao's father had hidden his true intention.
"Xiang Dong, don't listen to me...my dad is talking nonsense." Just when Xiang Dong was deep in thought and thinking about Qiao's father's true purpose, Qiao Yuyan's voice that sounded like water and song suddenly broke his thoughts with a trembling voice.
.
It has been a long time since Qiao Yuyan said the heavy word father so sincerely. Although she didn't say it fluently, she expressed respect for Qiao's father from the bottom of her heart.
"Haha... did something happen to you guys after I left just now?" Xiang Dong walked to the edge of the hospital bed opposite Qiao Yuyan and sat down, smiling awkwardly.
No matter what, it was good news for Qiao Yuyan that Father Qiao had gotten better. Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiang Dong stopped thinking about it.
"No, Director Wang came back once after you and Dean Su left. And before you and Dean Su came back, my dad also just came back, and nothing happened in the meantime." Qiao Yuyan immediately sat down in Xiangdong.
On the edge of the bed opposite, he lowered his head and answered softly.
"Well, that's fine, nothing happened." Xiang Dong nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, Qiao Yuyan, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to school next week?"
As soon as she heard Xiang Dong mention this, Qiao Yuyan's face suddenly turned gloomy. She glanced at Xiang Dong and then lowered her head and said quietly: "I want to drop out of school. My mother needs my care, and I want to find a job as soon as possible and get in touch with him as soon as possible."
society."
She really didn't want to continue going to school. The house was made a mess by her father, and the debts he owed had to be repaid. The old house was in danger of collapsing at any time. Her mother's health was a pain in her heart. In such a situation, her
Are you interested in continuing school again?
"How can that be done?" Xiang Dong hurriedly said to Qiao Yuyan: "Are you worried about things at home? Don't worry, I will find a way to arrange things at home, so you can go to school with peace of mind!"
Intuition told Xiang Dong that this was not what Qiao Yuyan was thinking, and that her consideration of the current situation of her family was the real reason.
It would be fine if he didn't meet her. Since he was involved in this matter now, he certainly wouldn't just watch Qiao Yuyan give up school. What's more, Qiao Yuyan performed very well in all aspects in school.
"I...what can you do?" Qiao Yuyan was really moved when she heard this, and asked Xiang Dongdao with a look of surprise on her face.
She really didn't want to drop out of school, but her family's difficult situation forced her to make this heartbreaking decision.
"Of course there is a way. Don't you see that I have many friends? It is not difficult for me to solve your family's problems." Xiang Dong immediately said to Qiao Yuyan with great pride.
Qiao Yuyan almost laughed because of him, but when she thought about the real problem, she couldn't help but shook her head, and said sadly: "But my dad owes a lot of gambling debts. There is no way to solve this problem unless all the gambling debts are paid."
Return."
As far as she knew, her father's gambling debts exceeded one million. Such a huge debt was a disaster for their family.
"Haha... don't worry, your father's things are nothing." Xiang Dong said with great enthusiasm again: "Don't you think about it, why would a loan shark give money to your father to gamble? According to
With your family’s financial situation, aren’t they afraid of losing everything?”
Qiao Yuyan's eyes lit up when she heard this. Xiang Dong's words were indeed reasonable. Her family was poor and had no assets that could be mortgaged. Why should she lend money to her father?
"Then why do you think my dad still owes millions of dollars?" Qiao Yuyan asked excitedly as if seeing hope.
Because she was too concerned about her father's gambling debts, Qiao Yuyan didn't realize that Xiang Dong seemed different from usual.
"What's the point? The people from the casino must have conspired to deceive your father. They didn't lend money to your father at all. They just played a trick and put the money in the left pocket into the right pocket. Your father just
He was just kept in the dark." Xiang Dong analyzed it quite confidently.
"So that's it?" Qiao Yuyan suddenly realized.
But for some reason, she suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was a little high, so she couldn't help but unbutton her collar and said to Xiang Dong again: "However, my dad has already signed the IOU, so it is only natural that people come to collect debts, right?"
"
She also thought what Xiang Dong said was very reasonable, but when she thought of the IOUs in the hands of those people, her mood suddenly fell into a low point again.
"There are some things you don't understand, like your father's case. The IOU signed by him does not have your mother's signature and has not been legally impartial. It cannot be regarded as truly effective evidence." Xiang Dong explained to Qiao Yuyan seriously.
:
"Who knows whether your father was forced or unconscious when he issued the IOU?"
"Hey, what you said is true. Does that mean my father doesn't have to pay back the money?" Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuyan's heart immediately warmed up. She couldn't help but grab Xiang Dong's big hand and asked with eagerness on her face.
"So I just said that this matter is easy to solve. Don't worry, this matter is not as terrible as you think. You also know that some of my friends are very energetic. It is not difficult to solve this matter. You just need to go to school with peace of mind.
Just wait for my good news." Xiang Dong said proudly again after hearing this.
In fact, the actual situation is not as simple as he said. There must be some unknown secret behind Qiao's father's debt.
He believed that gambling debts were secondary. The main thing that was questionable was the contract signed between Qian Shu and Qiao's father for Qiao Yuyan's residency. There was definitely something wrong with Qian Shu. As long as Qian Shu was caught, all problems would be solved.
He had already thought about it, and he would personally handle the matter, or at worst, secretly pay off Qiao's father's debt. He didn't want Qiao Yuyan to live in the shadows her whole life.
"Well, I believe you!" Qiao Yuyan nodded heavily, looked directly at Xiang Dong and replied softly.
But when she realized that she had been holding Xiang Dong's big hand tightly, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She immediately retracted her hand and said to change the subject: "Xiang Dong, have you turned on the air conditioner? How can the temperature be so high?"
"No, the air conditioner has not been turned on. It may be because the weather is relatively stuffy. I went to open the window to get some air." Xiang Dong also felt that the room was very hot, so he stood up and walked to the window sill, opening the window. (To be continued.)
