Li Xiaochen scraped his face with his fingers in embarrassment. He looked around and saw no one among Mi, Yao and Fei. He felt very disappointed.
He had clearly promised to meet here, but no one responded to his call and came to the appointment on time.
If I had known this, I might as well have gone to the school and recruited a beautiful girl from the acting department to make up for it.
At this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth: "It's an unlucky time for you to come. Jiang Mi'er hasn't been here these days."
"Wha--what?" Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks, "Didn't I inform you in advance?"
Li Xiaochen immediately pretended to be innocent: "She was gone before you notified her."
"Where did Sister Mi'er go? Did you drive her away? Huh! You must have planned it in advance. You knew we would come, so you expelled poor Sister Mi'er from this city. Mom, brother, he had good intentions.
Don't let us see Sister Mi'er~" At the end of the sentence, Xiaoxiao shook the old woman's arm and acted coquettishly.
The old mother, who always loved this precious daughter, stroked her head kindly and asked Li Xiaochen: "Achen, tell me honestly, does that Miss Jiang dislike our family being poor, so she doesn't want to come to see us?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Li Xiaochen waved his hands quickly, not wanting the old Buddha in this family to misunderstand Jiang Mi'er as a snob who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, "She...she and I have had a little misunderstanding recently. So...
…Uh, how should I put it?”
"Oh - brother, it turns out you were the one who made Sister Mi'er angry, huh! You must have done something to make her sad, you bad guy!" Xiaoxiao hugged the old woman, isolated Li Xiaochen, and
The face is angry and dissatisfied.
"I don't know if she is hurt or not. But I really can't find her. Let's talk about these things when we go home." Afraid of being stalked by the little ones, Li Xiaochen hurriedly took their luggage and asked them endless questions.
Go ahead and call a taxi.
Along the way, he chatted with the mother and daughter about the cultural environment and bustling life of Yinluo City, trying to distract their attention.
On the other hand, the old woman, who was still ill and not yet healthy, was not as fragile as he thought. Jiang Mier did not show any excessive emotions when he could not see her.
Could it be that she has thought too much? I hope she forgets the existence of Jiang Mier.
Back outside the European-style duplex building, Li Xiaochen was carrying his luggage and was about to go in, when he heard an old woman asking from behind: "Son, do you live here?"
"yes."
The old lady walked around the neighborhood and asked, "Such a nice house, should I rent it or buy it? If I rent it, it will cost at least several thousand a month. Where do you have so much money?"
"Last time the school held a food festival, I helped the school. This house was given to me by our dean. But I only have the right to live in it. The property rights still belong to the dean." Li Xiaochen moved his luggage into the house.
He came out again and helped the old lady to sit down in the living room.
Before her butt was even warm, the old woman heard a gentle voice coming from the kitchen: "You're back?"
Li Xiaochen raised his head and looked towards the kitchen, only to see Qin Yufei with her long hair tied up and wearing an apron, standing gracefully by the kitchen door.
She was dressed like a gentle and virtuous young woman who was first married to her husband. Her elegant and refined temperament was tainted with a touch of worldliness. Anyone who looked at her would feel that she must be a good wife and mother.
"Is this aunt?" Qin Yufei wiped her hands, poured a cup of brewed tea for the old lady, and then gave Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaochen each a cup of fragrant tea.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, she took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Jiang Mi'er. This is the first time we meet. Hello, aunt."
"Cough, cough...cough!" After hearing this, Li Xiaochen almost choked out the tea that had just entered his throat.
It was indeed a surprise for Li Xiaochen to suddenly see such beautiful Qin Yufei.
But who knew that she actually followed his request and entered the drama?
"Hello, hello." The old lady pulled Qin Yufei to her side diligently, her eyes filled with joy, "Oh, look at how beautiful this girl is. For this boy in our family to have a confidante like you,
It’s really a blessing he cultivated in his previous life.”
A beauty like Qin Yufei who conforms to the traditional female characteristics of this country is exactly what the old lady likes.
Most of the older generation believe that to marry a virtuous and gentle woman, it is best to have all of the three obediences and four virtues in place.
In modern society, there are a lot of only children who are the apple of their parents' eyes. They are used to being pampered, so where are the virtues of women?
After all, I have lived for so many years and met countless people. You can tell whether a person is good or bad, honest and cunning.
Suddenly seeing such a rare and ideal candidate, how could she let go? She subconsciously regarded Qin Yufei as her favorite daughter-in-law and pulled her to ask questions.
After this question, the old lady was even more satisfied with her. She was good-looking, spoke well, sat upright and well-mannered, and knew a lot about housework.
You can't find such a person even with a lantern.
On the other hand, Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting silently, glanced left and right, full of questions about this "Jiang Mi'er".
Li Xiaochen knew that she had a phone call with the real Jiang Mier, so he naturally remembered the other person's voice.
Although Qin Yufei's voice is also very nice, it tends to be indifferent and quiet. Jiang Mier's voice can be heard to be intelligent and clever even if she is not face to face.
Xiaoxiao is not an idiot. After thinking about it for a moment, he realizes that there is something fishy about it.
When Li Xiaochen saw her staring at him with a bad smile, he felt confused: It would be better to clarify the matter quickly. If I keep pretending like this, something will happen.
At this time, Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Qin Yufei: "Sister Mier, I am Xiaoxiao. Do you still remember me?"
"Ah, remember, remember, of course." Li Xiaochen was afraid that Xiaoxiao would complicate things, so he immediately covered her mouth, "Let me introduce you. This is my sister, a freshman in the journalism department in my hometown.
student. Her original name was Li Xiaoxiao. However, the name 'Xiaoxiao' sounded like the 'Xiao Xiao' from Jianghu Xiaoxiao School, so we worked together to change her name and call her Li Xiaoxiao."
After saying that, Li Xiaochen still giggled to cover up his guilty conscience.
Qin Yufei showed a rare smile and said a few words to Xiao Xiaochen. But her little mouth was kept tightly covered by Li Xiaochen, making it airtight, and she couldn't even say half a sentence.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Qin Yufei quickly got up and said that she wanted to prepare lunch and let Li Xiaochen chat with his family. Then he went into the kitchen and continued working.
Li Xiaochen then let go of his hand, wanting to take this opportunity to explain the misunderstanding clearly: "Mom, actually she is not Jiang Mi'er."
"Isn't it Jiang Mi'er?" The old woman looked at the kitchen in confusion, "Then why is she here with you?"
"Because... oh, this is what happened. This morning I..." He was about to tell the old lady the whole incident, but he heard a click and the entrance door opened.
A beautiful woman wearing a white-collar uniform and a pair of oval-rimmed glasses on her nose entered the house carrying several bags of fruits and vegetables.
She said apologetically: "Hello, aunt, my name is Jiang Mier, and I am Achen's girlfriend. I had to go to a meeting this morning, so I didn't have time to pick you up at the station. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
"
Li Xiaochen covered his forehead and felt quite powerless: Tang Yao is here too. Now things are really getting serious.
Seeing Li Xiaochen sitting on the sofa, Tang Yao gave him an order: "Come here and help pick him up."
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's so fun. There are two sisters Mi'er!"
Li Xiaochen went to pick up the bags, put them into categories, pulled Tang Yao aside, and lowered his voice: "Why didn't you show up earlier or later, but why did you show up at this time?"
Tang Yao said with full of grievance: "I went to my dad's company this morning. When I saw the message you sent, I even left such an important meeting and came over to help you deal with the situation. Is this your attitude towards me?
"
Being used to her usually strong attitude, Li Xiaochen suddenly felt like she was coquettishly speaking to her lover, and his heart softened: "I don't mean to blame you. It's all my fault, okay? I would have known better."
It’s time to open up and tell the truth. There’s no need to pretend to be Jiang Mi’er now.”
"Why?" Tang Yao asked puzzledly.
Li Xiaochen pouted angrily at the kitchen: "Because there is a Jiang Mi'er in there."
Tang Yao leaned slightly and saw Qin Yufei who was busy in the kitchen, and felt jealous in her heart.
She pinched Li Xiaochen's arm: "What do you mean? You called me over, and then you called someone else."
Li Xiaochen saw her unhappy expression and said hurriedly: "No, listen to my explanation. This is what happened. I..."
"I won't listen. Anyway, I'm nosy. Let's go." Tang Yao turned around and went out.
"Hey, listen to what I have to say, okay?" Li Xiaochen grabbed Tang Yao and refused to let her leave.
Tang Yao turned her head to the side and didn't look at him: "It's nothing nice. Anyway, I'm always a backup. I've seen through you. If you have anything to do, just come to me. If you don't have anything, just throw me away."
To the west. The last time I kissed someone, I didn’t even show any signs of it afterwards. Am I your plaything?"
When she said this, Li Xiaochen immediately blushed and felt ashamed: "I didn't treat you as a plaything."
"Then I can't even be considered a plaything. You have Jiang Mi'er, who is in love with the world, and Qin Yufei, who is beautiful and fragrant. Who am I? Who am I? Behind them, am I a mistress? What do you think of me, Tang Yao?
Human?" Tang Yao became more and more angry as she spoke, her nose twitched, and she actually shed tears.
Li Xiaochen was troubled in his heart, so he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it over: "Stop crying, isn't it okay for me to be responsible for you?"
Tang Yao pushed his hand away and wiped away her tears: "Don't do this to me. One of the top ten lies of men is 'I will be responsible for you'. You have said similar things before, huh."
"Then what do you want from me?" Li Xiaochen couldn't help but laugh, "How about you give me a price? How much does a kiss cost? I'll sell my kidney to get it for you."
"Do you really think of me as one of those women in the red light district?" Tang Yao wanted to keep a straight face and teach him a lesson, but suddenly she burst into laughter and said, "Okay, I'll make an offer. With one kiss, you will stay with me for a year.
.Calculate for yourself, how many times did you kiss me last time?"
Li Xiaochen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then I have to stay with you for the rest of my life?"
"Young radish, you won't stay with me forever. What you really pretend to be in your heart is Jiang Mi'er. I'm just a passerby in your life. When we passed each other, we were amazed. When we looked back, we were strangers."
When Tang Yao said the last sentence, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She was afraid to face the future life, afraid to lose Li Xiaochen's smile, and afraid that one day, they would become the most familiar strangers.
Thinking of the sad place, Tang Yao burst into tears again and sobbed.
Li Xiaochen felt very sad when he saw her like this. Tang Yao had sincere feelings for him, of which he had no doubt.
But do I like her or not?
If you didn't like her, why would you have hugged her, kissed her, or even felt that life would be boring without her?
If you really like her, why do you feel guilty about Jiang Mier?
He thought they were both very good girls. It would be best if they could hug each other.
But if you have to choose one of the two beauties, it is extremely difficult.
When he felt very embarrassed, Li Xiaochen felt sorry for Tang Yao's tearful look and wiped her face with a tissue.
What he got in exchange was a gentle hug from Tang Yao.
Li Xiaochen knew that she was worried that she would be left behind and would never be able to talk and laugh like she was now, so he comforted her with some words.
But a pair of hands were raised high, not daring to touch her.
On the other side, Lao Mazi and Xiao Xiao were watching clearly in the living room. The two were so close that they even hugged each other in front of them.
Could this one be her son's real girlfriend? The old lady looked at her in shock.
What about the one in the kitchen?
There was a lot of bad water in Xiaoxiao's stomach. It would be a pity not to take pictures of such an exciting scene. She gave full play to her professional expertise and used her mobile phone to take pictures of them perfectly.
Maybe one day I can use this evidence to blackmail my brother and get benefits from it.
Extracting the remaining value of his brother to the maximum extent has always been the ambitious goal that Xiaoxiao persists in and plans to strive for throughout his life.
The delicate atmosphere in the duplex building was broken by the sound of the entrance door opening.
A delicate and somewhat tired beauty said in a pure Japanese Kanto accent: "I'm back."
