"This time, it's not the midnight bell, it's the midnight fright." Tang Yue took a sip of red wine and was still joking.
After all, tonight, he and Tang Xu were both accompanying his sister, and Shen Shimei didn't dare to make a mistake.
Otherwise, the sharp knife in his cross was not a vegetarian, and Jesus would not be able to save him by then.
"Shen Shimei actually dares to come to the door? He's just stepping on his horse... you're a copycat!" Tang Xu cursed, keeping his eyes on the screen and typing with his hands.
"Copying guy? What guy, keyboard?"
Tang Qiaoer shook her head and stood up with a manic expression, "I brought the ghost here, so I should send the ghost away. I'll go down and have a look."
She came to the entrance alone and turned on the video call.
On the screen, Shen Jingjue's handsome face appeared instantly, with a hint of coldness.
"What are you doing here?"
Tang Qiaoer's eyes were blank, as if she didn't recognize him, "There are no other attractions in Shengjing? Do you have to come to my house for a walk?"
"Tang Qiao'er, please come out and let's talk." Shen Jingjue ignored her mocking and said in a deep voice.
"We can't talk like this? Is it because I can't see your face, or because I can't hear your voice?"
The man's throat tightened and his breath became thick.
The woman in front of me is really a combination of Xiao Longnu and Master Miejie, cold and ruthless.
"Tang Qiao'er, stop making trouble and come out. I have something to tell you."
"Are you making trouble? Which of your eyes saw that I was making trouble with you? I am obviously very serious about driving you away, can't you see it?" Tang Qiaoer couldn't help but curled her lips in a cold smile.
"Come out, I want to see you."
Shen Jing felt his starry eyes twinkling in the dim light, and his voice was so hoarse that he seemed to have been holding back too many complex emotions, and then he couldn't bear it and only spoke them out without emotion, as if all his pride and dignity had been blocked.
I want to see you.
Tang Qiaoer's heart shrank violently, blood flowed all over her body, she pursed her lips and took half a step back.
After a while, she took a deep breath and laughed lightly.
If she had heard Shen Jingjue say this in the past, she would have been so excited that she cried with joy. She was willing to do anything for these words.
But now, this desire has come too late. It is not even decent to be entangled in an expired relationship, and it will only make her look cheaper.
"Shen Jingjue, the adult world is very cruel. You don't get what you want, and you don't get to do whatever you want."
Tang Qiaoer tilted her head, and her teasing smile made him feel cold in his heart, "You spent three years teaching me this truth."
"Tang Qiao'er..." Shen Jing felt a lump in his throat, and all the nerves in his body were spasming.
"It shouldn't rain tonight."
Tang Qiaoer raised her eyes to look at the moon and said with a cold tone, "Shen Jingjue, last time I went out to see you, I was afraid that you would be struck to death by lightning. This time you want me to go out to see you, unless there is a knife from the sky. Just go. .”
Di——
The video call was turned off, plunging into a pitiless darkness.
Shen Jingjue stood outside the door with blank eyes, his whole body was enveloped by the desolate atmosphere of late autumn, and the coolness invaded his tall and straight body.
…
Tang Qiaoer returned upstairs with sluggish steps.
She didn't understand why a man who had been so indifferent to her in the past had the nerve to come over and talk about what he thought and saw after they got divorced. He was so shameless and shameless.
What else was there to say? In three years, he had been able to talk to her about everything, but he chose to leave her alone in the huge villa and turn a blind eye.
She has wasted three years and will not waste any more time for this man.
Tang Qiaoer walked into the study, and Lin Su asked with concern: "How are you, Miss? Shen Jingjue didn't embarrass you, did she?"
"Humph, he dares."
Tang Qiaoer walked up behind Tang Yue, leaned over and wrapped her arms around her elder brother's neck intimately, acting coquettishly.
"What about you? Have you ever embarrassed Shen Jingjue?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.
"Oh... neither."
"Pity."
Tang Yue gently raised his hand to touch her cheek and joked, "I'm here tonight. What a great opportunity. You should beat him up to vent your anger."
Tang Qiao'er was speechless: "Brother, I'm sorry for your kindness, but devout believers should use peaceful means to solve problems."
"Qiao Qiao! I finally found out! Why don't you open a bottle of red wine and reward me? I want the most expensive one!" Tang Xu shouted with excitement, raising his hands in the air.
"Asu, go to the wine cellar later and give my second brother a bottle of the best red wine."
Tang Qiao'er's eyes cleared of worry, and she hurriedly walked to Tang Xu, put her left hand on his shoulder, supported the table with her right arm and stared at the screen intently, "Who is the contributor?"
"Her size is this!"
Tang Xu pointed at the screen, "She is a social news reporter from A Toutiao. Her name is Gao Xuan! The IP address of that account is exactly the same as this one!"
"Well done, second brother, although the speed is a bit slow." Tang Qiaoer raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"It's faster this time! I said, why don't you call Bai Jinfei to do it? He is the most professional in this kind of unattainable work. You have to specialize in the art!"
"I contacted my fourth brother a few days ago. He has been on an important mission recently and I dare not disturb him."
"Qiaoqiao, I remember that your own hacker level is also very high, no less than the fourth child. You may have found out yesterday." Tang Yue also didn't understand.
Tang Qiaoer yawned: "Oh, I'm lazy."
Tang Xu: "…………"
Good guy, he is the cheap guy who is a big scapegoat!
Tang Qiaoer browsed the Weibo account carefully and sneered: "Oh, he is really a reporter with a strong sense of justice.
It's just that she didn't properly expose the fight between her cat and dog, and suddenly changed her focus to expose the decoration of my hotel wedding venue, which is like a dog trying to meddle in other people's business."
"Qiaoqiao, do you mean that this reporter was instigated by someone?" Tang Yue asked with a frown.
"It's not someone who instigates her, but she's using other people's money to ward off other people's misfortune. Because media reporters all have their own fronts, and she is a social news reporter. Logically speaking, she would not touch the entertainment industry."
Tang Qiaoer stared at the name Gao Xuan and murmured to herself, "Gao Xuan... Gao Xuan... Why do I always feel like I have seen this name somewhere before?"
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "I know who she is? She is Gao Ming's daughter!"
"Who is Gao Ming?" Tang Xu asked stupidly.
"The former deputy manager you fired and sent to jail?" Tang Yue raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Yes! She is his daughter!"
Tang Qiaoer has an excellent memory. She had read Gao Ming's information before, so she immediately realized Gao Xuan's identity. "If she was the one who exposed it, then I can understand it."
"I can understand it. You caused my father to be disgraced and imprisoned. She didn't show mercy to you even if she didn't make it to the public news." Tang Xu nodded with a serious look on his face.
"He engaged in corruption and bribery. If I don't send him to jail, why should I keep him for the New Year?"
Tang Qiaoer raised her chin slightly arrogantly, "The person who did the wrong thing is Gao Ming, not me. If she is a filial daughter, she should visit her father more often, instead of trying to seek revenge on me for comfort.
Why should I pay for the mistakes she made? It’s ridiculous.”
"Miss, I checked the surveillance before. Except for our team members who take turns supervising the work on site, the workers will hand over their mobile phones during construction. There is no possibility of any outsiders approaching the wedding site."
Lin Su's eyes darkened, "So I can be sure that someone in the team is indeed in harmony with this woman."
Tang Qiaoer saw that Gao Xuan was pretty and pretty, so she made a bold guess, "Ah Su, from now on, keep an eye on everyone in the team, especially the men, and secretly monitor them 24 hours a day.
If anyone has private contact with Gao Xuan, please report it to me at any time."
"Little sister, why is it a man?" Tang Xu asked curiously.
"Because all men are greasy carbon-based creatures who can't control their lower bodies and forget their loyalty!" Tang Qiaoer sneered coldly. Her failed marriage made her have a lot of prejudice against men.
Tang Yue: "Except me."
Tang Xu: "Except me!"
Lin Su hurriedly raised his hands and surrendered: "1!"
"Oh, I know you are all good, so there is no need to be so hasty to confess yourselves."
Tang Qiaoer straightened her arms and stretched like a slim little cat, "No matter how bad it is, it's still better than the one standing at the door, right?"
…
It was too late to investigate, so Tang Yue and Tang Xu stayed in the guest room Lin Su arranged for them.
Tang Qiao'er was too exhausted in the past two days, so she went back and took a bath and then fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a purple thunder ripped through the night sky, awakening Tang Qiaoer from her deep sleep.
She is not usually such a light-hearted person, and for some reason tonight, she was awakened by the thunder.
Then, there was no sleepiness at all.
Tang Qiaoer got up, put on a silk nightgown over her silk burgundy suspender nightgown, put on her red velvet slippers and went out to get some water.
Outside the window, there was heavy wind and rain, and there was lightning and thunder.
Tang Qiaoer stood in front of the corridor window with warm water in her hands, standing quietly.
When she was a child, she remembered that every time it rained heavily, her mother would hold her in her arms and sit on the rocking chair in front of the window, looking at the window wet by the heavy rain and staring in a daze in silence, whispering like she was dreaming:
——"It was also such a stormy night when my mother left there."
The night there, where?
Suddenly, another thunder exploded in the night!
Through the fleeting electric light, Tang Qiaoer was shocked to see it.
Outside the window, at the entrance of the villa.
Shen Jingjue raised his head and looked in the direction of the window of her room. She was standing upright in the miserable wind and rain, standing like a mountain, messy in the wind.
