After Tang Qiaoer and Lin Su packed up, they took the medicine given by Liu Minzhi and prepared to return to Shengjing.
"Qiaoqiao, are you in a hurry to leave? Won't you stay for dinner? The meal will be cooked soon." Chu Rou hurried over in an apron.
"No need, Aunt Rou, I'm in a hurry to go back."
Tang Qiaoer went up to her, held up Chu Rou's smug face with both hands, and looked left and right, "Aunt Rou, your birthday is coming. Have a good rest these two days, and don't touch these tasks.
Doing spa beauty treatments is a serious thing, right?
You’re going to be the most beautiful birthday girl in the world this weekend!”
"It's not a birthday. In fact, I don't think about it at all. When I think about having to socialize with so many people on Sunday, I feel so tired."
Chu Rou sighed helplessly, "I just want to make your dad happy."
"It's not you coaxing my dad, it's my dad coaxing you. No, we all want to celebrate your birthday."
Tang Qiaoer's beautiful eyes showed a trace of resentment, "Listen to me, don't overwork yourself. I have a lot of eyeliners at home. If you are disobedient, Aunt Rou, the eyeliners will report to me~
By then I will be angry. I went to your birthday party and I will eat and drink for free and won’t give you a birthday gift, huh~"
Lin Su couldn't help but smile fondly at the side.
The eldest lady pretends to be angry, with her raised nose and pouty cherry-red mouth. Really, she couldn't be cuter.
Chu Rou's beautiful face outlined a gentle smile, and she pinched Tang Qiaoer's cheek gently, "What birthday gift in the world is better than letting me have a family?"
She was born an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. When she was singing Tsing Yi in a theater troupe, she was discovered by a talent scout and signed with a talent agency. She accidentally stumbled into the entertainment industry and became an actress.
She had a miserable life and experienced ups and downs. As one of Tang Wanting's women, she did not have the noble background of Liu Minzhi, nor was she the eldest daughter of a gang like Jiang Susu, with the support of such a frightening father.
She has always had low self-esteem. She felt that she was not worthy of Tang Wanting, let alone this family.
She just wants to live quietly, low-key, and humblely, so that she can have the happiness she has now. She has no extravagant desires, and she doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone.
Tang Qiaoer felt a lump in her throat after hearing this.
Oh, I envy Lao Wan so much.
She suddenly wanted a daughter to inherit her father's legacy and also wanted to have a harem.
It's a pity that there are many good women, but good men are so rare. I'm afraid that the harem will become a garbage dump in the end, which would be boring.
"Qiao Qiao."
A magnetic yet serious voice came.
Tang Qiaoer hurriedly looked back and saw Tang Yue wearing a priest's black silk robe, holding a Bible in his left hand, and Shi Shiran walking down the white jade stairs.
"Brother."
"Qiaoqiao, don't leave in a hurry. I have a few words to talk to you alone."
…
In the tea room, Tang Yue personally brewed a cup of good tea for his sister. The fragrance was overflowing and made people salivate.
Tang Qiao'er put her hands on her chin and watched her eldest brother skillfully performing tea art with such grace and grace that he looked like a graceful royal prince.
What kind of woman does it take to be worthy of a big brother? It’s so difficult!
"Qiaoqiao, are you really interested in Xie Jinhuan?" Tang Yue gently pushed the teacup in front of her and asked in a calm tone.
"Eh?!" Tang Qiaoer suddenly became startled and almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
"Brother is asking you seriously."
"No, absolutely, yes, no, yes." Tang Qiaoer said decisively, shaking her head repeatedly.
"Then don't get too close to him from now on." Tang Yue picked up the cup and sipped the tea gracefully.
"Well, he was the one who came looking for me, but I didn't get close to him."
"So, you don't accept or refuse? Are you a scumbag?" Tang Yue mocked warmly.
"What, brother! How could I be such a scumbag? How could I say such a thing about my own sister!" Tang Qiaoer was so angry that her shiny little face turned crimson.
"Qiaoqiao, if you don't like him, you must completely draw a clear line with him. You are giving Xie Jinhuan the illusion that he can pursue you."
Tang Yue paused and lowered his voice, "Furthermore, Xie Jinhuan's city is far deeper than what you and I can see. It's like an iceberg on the sea. You can only see one-eighth of it that rises to the surface of the sea.
He left his hometown for fifteen years, suddenly came back from the Forest Country, and suddenly got close to you. Qiaoqiao, you are the eldest lady of the Tang family, and we will leave the entire ks group to you in the future.
You are more princess than princess and more queen than queen. You are just a low-key person. Otherwise, my sister will definitely become the delusion of men all over the country.
I don’t believe that Xie Jinhuan is 100% sincere to you, and I don’t believe that he doesn’t have any intentions for you.”
As he spoke, Tang Yue pulled his lower lip, "To put it bluntly, this Xie Jinhuan is, in my eyes, worse than Shen Jingjue to some extent."
"Brother!" Tang Qiaoer's heart trembled and she clenched her cup.
"At the very least, he really cares about the woman he likes. He has no scheming at all."
"Oh, it's true. He didn't just rip out his heart and lungs for Jin Enrou."
Tang Qiaoer slammed the tea cup down hard and her eyes were red, "He was dumped by Jin Enrou, and he even joined the army and died on the battlefield!"
"But he also risked his life for you, didn't he? He even suffered injuries all over his body, but he still hasn't recovered. I don't know if there will be any sequelae in the future."
Tang Qiaoer's heart started to tremble more and more, her expression darkened, "That's different."
"Qiaoqiao, you once loved Shen Jingjue deeply. It was not that you fell in love with the wrong person, nor that you were blind. All his shortcomings, including his not loving you, were laid out in front of you from the very beginning. Cruel
, but also straightforward.”
Tang Yue let out a long sigh, leaned forward, and gently held her cold hand, "At least, Shen Jingjue has never lied to you.
People who like you can have many shortcomings, but they can never be insincere to you."
Tang Qiaoer's pupils shrank deeply and she lowered her head sadly.
*
After bidding farewell to their families, Tang Qiaoer and Lin Su returned to Shengjing.
Seeing that they were about to cross the highway, Tang Qiaoer suddenly opened her lips lightly: "Go to Guanchao Manor."
Lin Su frowned slightly, but still responded: "Okay."
When she arrived outside Shen's house, Tang Qiaoer did not contact Shen Jingjue directly, but called Wu's mother.
"Young madam, to be honest, the young master has not been back for three or four days."
Wu's mother was extremely worried, "I called him several times, but he rarely answered the phone. Occasionally, his voice was weak when he answered. I asked him what was wrong, and he said it was fine."
Tang Qiaoer's heart tightened, as if being strangled by a big hand.
"Well, my young master was brought up by me. He was very thoughtful and always reported good things but not bad things. Ever since he was little, he had been sick and had to deal with all the troubles by himself. I didn't care.
No matter how you ask, he just refuses to tell.
Madam, can you contact the young master? I'm so afraid that something will happen to him!" Mother Wu's voice was filled with tears.
"Wu Ma, don't panic. I will find Mr. Shen." Tang Qiaoer comforted her gently.
Shen Jingjue, even if he didn't see anyone.
I will never miss her.
Tang Qiaoer and Wu Ma ended the call, thought for a moment, and called Han Xian.
"Secretary Han."
"Tang, Miss Tang. Good evening!"
Han Xian's tone was very cordial every time he received a call from her, but now he sounded a little panicked.
She said it was no problem, but she didn’t believe it!
"Where is your Mr. Shen? If he is not at home, where are you hiding?" Tang Qiaoer frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed.
"Shen, Mr. Shen is on a business trip out of town."
"Han Xian, let me remind you that lying to me will have serious consequences." Tang Qiaoer's tone was deep and very intimidating.
"Oh! Madam, I told you the truth! Even if I am fired by Mr. Shen tomorrow, I still have to tell the truth!"
Han Xian's throat was choked with sobs and he was about to cry without tears. "Come and see Mr. Shen quickly... Mr. Shen's condition is very bad... I'm afraid something will happen to him if he survives!"
