Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Four: Qiao Simei, who began to bite
"Xiaojin, Little Apple, grandma will take you upstairs to play."
Wen Xue saw that the atmosphere at this time was not right, so she asked Wen Jin to hold Little Apple, and then she took her daughter in Chang Xingyu's arms and went upstairs together.
Wen Qinghua and his wife also stood up, followed Wen Xue and the others upstairs without saying anything.
Qiao Simei seemed not to feel anything was wrong in the atmosphere. She was focused on the house. Seeing that her sister was silent, she could only look at Zhou Chen.
"Brother Zhou Chen, okay? Since you don't live in that house anymore, you can just lend it to us for a while."
Zhou Chen asked calmly: "If we can't live here anymore, we have to live with you?"
Qiao Simei said flatteringly: "Brother Zhou Chen, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that we have no place to live now. You happen to have a vacant house. Let's borrow it for a while. Brother Zhou Chen, just treat it as
Help us, help your nephew who is about to be born, okay?"
Zhou Chen said: "There is no problem in helping relatives, but it depends on how to help. You are just pregnant now, so you can still go to work. Sister You was more than eight months pregnant at that time and was still working. So
With your and Qi Chenggang's salary, renting a better house is not a problem at all, so why bother to go to my place instead of looking far away?"
Qiao Simei said: "If we go to your place, we don't need to decorate it anymore, which can save a lot of time and money."
"Oh, it turns out it's to save money."
Qiao Simei blushed when she said this. This was her plan, but Zhou Chen's tone made her very embarrassed, as if he was deliberately taking advantage of her.
"No, brother Zhou Chen, it's mainly because your house is open for public use. If we go to live in it, it will increase our popularity."
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "If you say that, do I still want to thank you?"
Without waiting for Qiao Simei to speak, he said again: "That house is my and your sister's wedding house, so it's not convenient to lend it to you. You'd better think of other ways."
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's refusal, Qiao Simei's expression immediately changed, and everyone else looked at Zhou Chen unconsciously.
Neither Qiao Yicheng nor Qiao Erqiang spoke. Qi Weimin opened his mouth to say something, but Chang Xingyu, who was standing behind him, tugged on his clothes and motioned for him to be quiet, so Qi Weimin didn't speak.
Qiao Simei looked unhappy: "Brother Zhou Chen, you are all living in a big villa now. You can't live in that house anyway, why can't you lend it to us temporarily? That house is nothing to you.
Bar?"
Such a natural look made Zhou Chen sneer even more. Good guy, people who don't know would think he owed her.
"You are right, that house is nothing to me, but it is also my house, why should I lend it to others?"
"I'm not someone else. My sister and I are biological sisters. We both wore the same pair of pants when we were young. Is it necessary to tell the difference so clearly?"
Even Qiao Yicheng couldn't bear to hear these words. He said coldly: "Simei, what are you talking about?"
Qiao Simei retorted depressingly: "I didn't say anything wrong. We are in trouble now. If we can't even help our sisters, who else can help?"
"Zhou Chen, I think, ah..."
Qi Weimin screamed as soon as he said a few words. He glanced back at Chang Xingyu with dissatisfaction and wanted to scold him, but he saw Chang Xingyu shaking his head repeatedly at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing more.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Qiao Erqiang interrupted: "Simei, I think it's better for me to help you find a house."
As soon as he spoke, he saw his wife Ma Suqin shaking her head at him, signaling him not to talk.
Qiao Erqiang misses the love between brother and sister, but Ma Suqin sees clearly that this little sister of her husband's family just wants to be a free hand and has many evil intentions. She is afraid that Qiao Erqiang will be targeted by Qiao Simei.
Qiao Simei ignored Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Yicheng, but asked Qiao Sanli: "Sister, what are you talking about? We are biological sisters, we just own a house. We don't want it as our own, we just want to I’m just going to stay for a while.”
Qiao Sanli didn't know how to answer. She really didn't want to borrow it.
Seeing his wife in trouble, Zhou Chen snorted coldly: "It's just a house, Simei, you are so arrogant now. You said we won't help you, but I want to ask you, when you got married At that time, you told Sanli that you had no money, and Sanli gave you 20,000 yuan. Later, you said that Qi Chenggang wanted to buy a car and rent it out, and Sanli gave you another 100,000 yuan. Not long ago, Qi Chenggang committed a crime, and Sanli gave you another 100,000 yuan. You took 80,000 yuan to settle things."
"Back and forth, we lent you a total of 200,000 yuan. Have you ever repaid us a penny? Not to mention repaying it. After borrowing the money, you didn't even mention it."
"Now that you want to move out, you start to make plans for our house, as if it would be a great sin if we don't lend it to you. I just want to ask, what qualifications do you have to say such a thing? What qualifications do you have to use this kind of thing with Sanli?" Tone of speech?"
We are only nine years old now, so two hundred thousand is not a small amount of money. With a little more money, you can buy a house in a good location in the city.
As a result, the 200,000 yuan was loaned out without even a splash, and now it came to buy their house again.
Qi Weimin originally thought that Zhou Chen's failure to lend the house to Qiao Simei would affect the relationship between the brothers and sisters, but now that he heard Zhou Chen say these words, he became silent.
He had no idea that Qiao Simei had taken so much money from Zhou Chen and the others, and that he had also borrowed money from Zhou Chen. At that time, he was afraid that it would affect their relationship, so he had already paid it back.
So he didn't quite understand Qiao Simei's mentality of not paying back the money but still wanting to take advantage.
Qiao Yicheng was also a little stunned. He knew that Simei had borrowed money from Sanli, but he didn't expect that he had borrowed so much.
Qiao Simei was a little angry at this time. She felt that Zhou Chen said such words in front of so many people just to embarrass her on purpose.
"I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. It's just that I don't have any money now. When we have money, we will definitely pay it back. This is completely different from borrowing a house."
At this time, Zhou Chen was really speechless when he actually wanted to talk about borrowing a house.
"I know they are two different things, but I said I won't borrow it. Do you have any questions?"
Qiao Simei was so angry that she could only look to Qiao Sanli for help, but Qiao Sanli just said lightly: "He has the final say in our family's affairs."
Qiao Simei, who was already angry, didn't help her when she saw her sister. She became even more angry and became incoherent.
"Sister, I am your biological sister. You married into a rich family, so what can you do if you help us? You are too cold-blooded to not even help your own biological sister, aren't you?"
"Qiao Simei, shut up."
Qiao Yicheng slapped his hand on the table angrily, pointed at Qiao Simei and cursed: "You haven't realized your mistake until now, and you still talk to your sister like this. Apologize to Sanli immediately."
Qiao Simei jumped up and asked loudly: "Why should I apologize? Did I say something wrong? She married into the Zhou family and lived a good life, but when did she ask us? When did she help us? She is now
If you have money, as long as you help us a little bit, will we be able to live like this?"
Qiao Yicheng became even more angry: "Qiao Simei, what qualifications do you have to say such a thing? You said Sanli didn't help you. It was Zhou Chen who helped you find your job. When you caused trouble in the factory, it was Zhou Chen who helped you."
It’s settled, Sanli lent you so much money, does that mean it didn’t help you?”
"Yes, she just didn't help me. I will never forget the arrogant look on her face when she lent me money. She was just showing off her superiority. She felt that she was superior now, and the money was just charity.
Give me her..."
Qiao Yicheng couldn't bear it anymore and rushed directly in front of Qiao Simei, slapped her and knocked Qiao Simei to the ground.
"Qiao Simei, you are simply..."
Qi Chenggang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and pushed Qiao Yicheng away.
"Brother, you can hit me, but you can't hit Simei. She is your biological sister."
Qiao Yicheng angrily said: "You have no place to speak here."
Qi Chenggang: "Simei is my wife. I will not allow anyone to bully her. Moreover, she is still pregnant. If she breaks the child, can you be responsible, brother?"
Qiao Simei lay in Qi Chenggang's arms, crying hard.
Qiao Yicheng was so angry just now that he couldn't control himself. Then he remembered that Qiao Simei was still pregnant, and he was shocked and a little scared.
"Let's go, Chenggang, let's go. There is no place for us here anymore. They don't regard us as relatives at all. Let's go."
Qi Chenggang helped Qiao Simei up and was about to leave, when Qiao Erqiang suddenly walked over.
"Simei, don't be like this. Brother is just angry, he didn't mean it."
Qi Weimin also advised: "Yes, Simei, he has a bad temper. He shouldn't hit you. My cousin will help you teach him a lesson later."
Chang Xingyu and Ma Suqin also came to persuade, but Qiao Simei felt that she had been humiliated today and did not want to stay at all.
"If someone doesn't want to see us and doesn't treat us as family members, then we'll leave."
After saying that, she looked at Qiao Sanli again: "Sister, I really didn't expect that in your eyes, my biological sister is worse than a cold house."
Qiao Sanli's chest heaved up and down in anger, Qiao Simei's words were really hurtful.
Zhou Chen couldn't bear to see his woman suffer a loss, so he walked up to Qiao Sanli, hugged her, and looked at Qiao Simei coldly.
"What qualifications do you have to say Sanli? You come to ask for help when you have something to do, and you don't see anyone when you have nothing to do. How do you have the qualifications to say this? You still have a cold house. If you really have the guts, just buy it yourself.
Instead of being weird here, it is unfortunate to have a sister like you. If it weren’t for Sanli’s sake, I would have slapped you based on what you just said.”
Qi Chenggang puffed up his chest, stepped forward, and said loudly: "If anything happens, come to me, and don't bully Simei."
"Get out of my way."
Zhou Chen was not polite at all to Qi Chenggang and kicked him directly: "If it weren't for you marrying Qiao Simei, what qualifications do you have to beep in front of me? I'll give you some face, do you really think
Do you have a face?"
Seeing Qi Chenggang being kicked down, Qiao Simei screamed: "Zhou Chen, why are you beaten into steel? Who are you? Why are you dictating to me? Aren't you just a good child? If it weren't for your father,
Mom, who do you think you are?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. It is common for brothers and sisters to quarrel, but when Qiao Simei said such words, it was really too much.
Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and he wanted to speak.
But Qiao Yicheng moved faster and said angrily: "Qiao Simei."
"Am I wrong? Brother, we are brothers and sisters. You help him but not me. Do you think he is useful to you and we can't help you, so you help him? Brother, you used to
You look so tall in my eyes, but look at what your life is like now."
Facing the biting Qiao Simei, Qiao Yizheng was so angry that he almost fainted.
Qi Weimin couldn't stand it anymore and shouted coldly: "Simei, what nonsense are you talking about? Please apologize to your elder brother and Zhou Chen quickly."
"I don't, cousin, I know you are a good person, but this is none of your business. They just look down on me and Chenggang, so they treat us like this."
"Get out of here, Qiao Simei, get out of here, I don't want to see you again, get out of here as far away as you can..."
Qiao Yicheng's voice almost knocked the roof off. He had never been so angry. Even when Ye Xiaolang deceived him, he was more disappointed than angry.
But today, he was really angry, and his chest was about to explode.
…………
After Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang left, everyone also left the Wen family one after another. A good birthday party ended so unhappy.
Zhou Chen took Little Apple and was picked up by his family's driver, while Qiao Sanli sent Qi Weimin's family back.
When they arrived at their destination, Qi Weimin called Qiao Sanli out of the car and talked to her.
"Sanli, don't be too angry about Simei today. Go back and persuade Zhou Chen."
Qiao Sanli: "Cousin, I know what you mean, but this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice anymore. Simei is really going too far."
Qi Weimin sighed: "Actually, I can understand why she is like this, because she sees that you are all living a good life, but she is living a bad life, and her heart is unbalanced, so she is so extreme. You are her biological sister, you have to try
If you understand her, how much hatred can there be between sisters?"
Qiao Sanli remained silent. She felt that her cousin was really too idealistic and thought too well of others.
In the past few years, she has really discovered that it is really more heart-wrenching than strangers to turn against her sisters.
Seeing that Qiao Sanli didn't speak, Qi Weimin sighed again. He could only say so much for some words. Whether it was useful or not depends on the person involved.
"There is another thing. I shouldn't say anything, but you are my sister, so I think it is necessary to tell you."
Qiao Sanli asked strangely: "What's the matter that makes you so embarrassed, cousin?"
Qi Weimin had really never done this kind of thing like snitching a few times, but it was related to his sister, so he felt it was necessary to remind her.
"There is a female colleague in my unit. When Zhou Chen went to pick me up from our unit today, I happened to meet her. Only later did I find out that they were old classmates."
"Well, how should I put it, I just feel that my female colleague behaved very strangely when she met Zhou Chen."
They were all people who had been in love and got married. When Qi Weimin said this, Qiao Sanli immediately understood what he meant.
"Cousin, you must have made a mistake. Zhou Chen is not that kind of person."
She has been with Zhou Chen for so many years, and except for one special occasion, she has never seen Zhou Chen have too much contact with any woman, so she trusts her very much.
Qi Weimin said in embarrassment: "I also hope that I am wrong. I also believe in Zhou Chen's character, but how should I put it? My colleague is my leader. She is really extraordinary and outstanding."
Qiao Sanli raised her eyebrows and said, "Cousin, I know your good intentions. Can I ask if the woman you are talking about is really Zhou Chen's classmate?"
Qi Weimin said: "Zhou Chen said he was a classmate in middle school. My female colleague's name is Xiang Nanfang."
"Xiang Nanfang?"
Qiao Sanli, who didn't care at first, suddenly changed her expression when she heard the name.
Qi Weimin felt something was wrong: "What, Sanli, do you know Xiang Nanfang?"
Qiao Sanli's expression changed several times, "I know you, Xiang Nanfang works in the Propaganda Department now?"
"Yes, I was transferred here not long ago and served as the office director. Do you really know her?"
Qi Weimin saw some clues from the changes in Qiao Sanli's expression, and he felt that there might be something wrong.
Qiao Sanli said: "I know, she and Zhou Chen are just classmates. I have seen her before. Thank you for reminding me. Cousin, you really misunderstood this time."
Qi Weimin didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "It's just a misunderstanding."
