He also wanted to see what kind of reaction she would have.
Is there shock and a bit of sadness, or is it relief?
Mother Qiao was afraid that Chen Ying would see something, so she lightly bumped her daughter's arm with her elbow, "Qiao Qiao must be happy for you. This is really great news."
Qiao Zhishu faced Xing Huo's gaze. When the two of them were alone, the ambiguity of his words seemed to still spread in her ears.
That lingering look in his eyes was like a warm and affectionate look, but he had entered his room for no reason, hugged her, and hugged her. Qiao Zhishu was an idiot in terms of emotions, but he also knew that these were not normal.
It seems that Xing Huo is a gangster.
He wouldn't regard her as a dowry girl from ancient times, would he? Not counting Chen Ying, he would also like to take her as well?
Buy one get one free?
Her expression was very complicated. She just wanted to get away from Xing Huo.
"Bless you, sincerely. I wish you get married soon, grow old together, and have children soon."
Mrs. Chen was so amused that she said, "Qiao Qiao still knows how to talk."
There was some sarcasm in Xing Huo's eyes, and there was a kind of ruthlessness at the bottom of the pool that wanted to swallow a life. Even when he spoke, his pronunciation was very heavy.
"Thank you for your blessing."
Chen Ying was immersed in excitement and wished she could tell everyone that she was about to become the young mistress of the Xing family.
Qiao Zhishu was a little out of place in such an atmosphere.
Mother Qiao was busy cutting fruit again, and everyone's face was filled with joy, as if she would pour cold water on others if she said she would go back.
Qiao Zhishu could only do it.
Xing Huo sat for a while, then stood up and planned to leave, "I have to discuss the engagement with my parents when I get back, so I'll leave first."
Upon seeing this, Chen Ying stood up quickly and said, "I'll see you off."
"No need to worry about walking around, I'll come back tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen didn't want to see her daughter acting too obedient, so she quickly stopped her and said, "It's getting late. Let Xing Huo go back early. It's important to do business."
Although Chen Ying was reluctant, she still agreed. "Okay."
As soon as Xing Huo left, Chen Ying couldn't wait to call her friend, "I want to tell you some good news. Brother Huo confessed to me and we are going to get married soon!"
"Really? Congratulations. You have finally waited for this day. Tell me the details..."
Chen Ying naturally wanted to make the process more perfect. While she was recounting it, the Chen family's landline rang.
Qiao's mother went over to answer the call. After saying hello, she told Qiao Zhishu: "Someone has brought something over. Qiao Qiao, go and get it."
Qiao Zhishu didn't want to stay here anymore, "Okay."
Mrs. Chen didn't stop her. Xing Huo had left, so she didn't have to pretend. Qiao Zhishu was originally the daughter of a servant, so it was normal for her to do something.
Qiao Zhishu left the main building and walked quickly through the courtyard. The lights in the courtyard hit her body, and her shadow was mottled.
She didn't expect that someone would suddenly pull her away. Qiao Zhishu walked this road every day. Could it be possible that he met a ghost?
She wanted to scream, but her mouth was covered.
The footsteps staggered one after another, and Qiao Zhishu was taken into the forest nearby. She struggled violently, punched and kicked, and Xing Huo had no choice but to let go.
"It's me."
She turned around and saw the man's face clearly, "What do you want to do?"
