Xiao has thought about it for a long time

The woman on the sofa was wearing a dark blue dress, and she still looked the same as when she left that year. She is almost 50 years old, and there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

There was a cup of hot tea in front of her, and she had already drank less than half of it. Seeing Josie enter, she smiled and got up.

"Xiaoxi, you're back."

Josie hadn't seen Mother Qiao for so long that she didn't respond, she didn't even respond. After all these years, Mother Qiao left as soon as she wanted to. She went to Italy less than a year after the divorce, and she didn't even make two phone calls.

The ten years when the husband and wife spent each other was the saddest ten years for Josie. Every time I think about it, there are only screams, reprimands and indifference. Mark of.A person's growth period is just more than ten years, and most of the time is spent in fierce quarrels. It is really not a good memory, so after the two divorced, Josie never even felt sad, and she would not take the initiative to miss Qiao's mother. .

This mother who once pointed at her head and scolded, "Why do you look like Qiao Jianliang when you die?" took the property after the divorce and lived abroad for several years. Finally, she remembered that she still had a daughter. "Conscience found out" and came back. take a look.

Of course, Mother Qiao's lifestyle is beyond reproach, it is her choice.

Josie restrained her emotions, hummed in a neither salty nor light way, but didn't call anyone.

Qiao's mother's face froze for a moment, embarrassed and at a loss. She probably didn't expect Josie to have such a reaction. It's over here, so I don't think Josie doesn't appreciate it at all.

It's no wonder Josie, when Qiao Jianliang said she wanted a daughter when she was divorced and discussed custody, she was relieved at the time, and she didn't take any pictures when she went abroad. This time, she came back just to try to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother .

Josie knew her well enough to think without guessing.

In the end, it was Fu Bei who smoothed things over.

Mother Qiao was not very happy about this.Fu Bei lives in Josie's house, and many things come in sets and pairs. How could she fail to see the relationship between the two? Now that her biological daughter ignores her, Fu Bei's attitude is not too eager, but too perfunctory, making it difficult for her She is very uncomfortable.

She has wandered around in Europe and the United States for the past few years, learned a little bit of Western culture, and raised her ideological realm to a higher level. She highly respects the so-called freedom and doesn't think she has done anything wrong. On the contrary, she is dissatisfied with her daughter's attitude, but there are some words Can't say it again.

The three of them went to the western restaurant for dinner. During the period, Qiao's mother would ask a few words from time to time, such as what Josie was doing, her future plans, and even asked if she had any plans to go abroad.

"If you have plans in this regard, my mother can help you. You are still young and it is just right to study abroad. Science and engineering are not particularly good schools. I discussed with your father a few years ago and asked you to study abroad. He insisted. How wonderful it is to study abroad now, which family’s children are not looking forward to going out.”

Almost all the time, it was Qiao's mother singing a one-man show, and Josie was exceptionally silent, and Fu Bei would answer a few words from time to time, so as not to be cold.

Qiao's mother wanted to have a private chat with Josie, so she signaled to Fu Bei several times overtly and secretly. Fu Bei observed Josie's expression calmly. Seeing that Josie had no objection, she excused herself to go to the bathroom to leave space for the mother and daughter to be alone. .

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Qiao's mother suddenly sighed and asked, "Xiaoxi, do you hate me?"

Josie didn't raise her head, she ate a small bite of steak, chewed slowly, "No, I don't have any grudges."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Qiao's mother, and said lightly, "Don't think too much about it."

Qiao's mother's face changed again and again, and Josie's reaction was too indifferent. If she really held grudges, it meant that she still cared about this mother, but her expression revealed that she really didn't hold grudges, or even didn't care, which really hurt people.Qiao's mother still had a heart, and left a small place for her daughter in her heart, otherwise she would not come back. She knew that she had given up on Josie. When she came back this time, she probably wanted to make some compensation in her heart. Just don't care.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and no one spoke.

In the end, it was Qiao's mother who broke the deadlock and chatted about some irrelevant things.

However, until the end, the meeting broke up unhappy. Mother Qiao didn't know her daughter very well, so she asked bluntly what the relationship between Josie and Fu Bei was.Her tone was too blunt, obviously she didn't agree with the two being together, and she probably wanted to interfere with this matter, but unfortunately, Josie turned a deaf ear and came out of the western restaurant without saying that she would be sent back to the hotel, and left with Fu Bei alone up.

After so many years, Qiao's mother's elder habits have not changed, thinking that her daughter is still the same child.

Because of the matter of Josie and Fu Bei, Qiao's mother got into a fight with Qiao Jianliang again, but it was not a big fight, but an argument. Qiao's mother thought that Qiao Jianliang was not responsible for her daughter, did not teach her daughter well, and regretted herself No custody was sought.

Qiao Jianliang was so angry that his blood pressure was soaring. He didn't want to see Fu Bei anymore, and he didn't want to listen to such remarks. He didn't say anything too harsh, and just let Qiao's mother go.

Mother Qiao left the compound wiping her tears, and the situation that should have been peaceful was very tense.

But Josie wasn't much affected by this. She was in a low mood for one night, and then she returned to her old self. Fu Bei was more worried about her, so he wouldn't take the initiative to mention these things.

But this doesn't mean that Josie won't be irritable, especially Qiao's mother runs here every three days.Maybe she wanted to divert her attention and not be so upset. She has been very active these days, and sometimes she wakes up suddenly at night, and will hug Fu Bei tightly.

After the emotion, she will be more tired, and the whole person will relax a lot. After panting, she lay on Fu Bei's body and did not move. She moved Ruyu's long legs only when she felt uncomfortable.

Fu Bei tilted his head and kissed her sweaty neck, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take a bath?"

Josie's voice was exhausted, very tired, she catted lazily on it, pressed the side of her face against the man's chin, and said softly, "I don't want to go."

"very tired?"

"A little bit." She didn't have the strength to even raise her finger.

Fu Bei tilted his head and kissed again, "I'll help you, just lie down for a while."

Josie didn't refuse, she closed her eyes tiredly, took a nap for 2 minutes, and waited for Fu Bei to come out with hot water, and she didn't get up when Fu Bei was sitting on the side of the bed to help herself scrub. , Finally, turn over and lie on your stomach, resting your head on your arms.

The night has not been very good these few days, the sky is dark and claustrophobic every night, not even a single star, depressing and dull, the room is only turned on with a small light by the bedside, the light is not bright enough, a little drowsy.Fu Bei's demeanor was gentle, he poured water back, leaned down and kissed the flower core of her tattoo, gave enough comfort, and lay on his side, "Do you want to talk to me?"

Josie paused, not sure if it was because of the extremely gentle kiss just now, or because of this sentence.

After a while, he turned and looked at the other party, "What are you talking about?"

Fu Bei didn't say directly, "What are you thinking about."

"I didn't think about anything." Josie denied, half standing up, "I just don't feel like talking right now."

Brightly lying, there is no way he doesn't want to talk.Fu Bei didn't expose her, leaned over and touched the corner of her lips, and let out a "hmm" from his throat, and raised his hand as light as a crow's feather to caress her neck and collarbone.

It was just over, Josie was very sensitive, her thick eyelashes trembled, but she didn't draw back, but moved closer to the other side, clinging to her.Fu Bei's gentle offensive made her emotional, she leaned closer, and involuntarily pressed for a kiss, her red lips opened and closed, her hands wrapped around Fu Bei's waist, endlessly seeking this warm feeling, wanting to get more comfort.

Fu Bei picked her up, sat on his lap, and comforted her uneasiness with soft and tender kisses.

"Fu Bei..." Qiao Xi called out the other person's name while kissing her, her voice was very low, her fingers ran through Fu Bei's soft hair, and she tried her best to fit her body, snuggling up.

Fu Bei kissed more tenderly, and patted Josie on the back to comfort her. When she felt that Josie had calmed down a lot and gradually settled down, she leaned into Josie's ear and whispered a very warm word.

Josie shook her head, "Don't..."

She just hugged Josie politely, patted Josie on the shoulder comfortingly, "Okay."

Josie lay on her body to calm down for a long time, her thoughts drifted away, and after a while she calmly said: "Actually, I know that they divorced a long time ago. They pulled the divorce certificate before I graduated, and each has a new partner."

When she saw that Italian man sending Qiao's mother back to the compound, she knew it, and she had noticed it earlier, so she knew everything clearly, but she didn't say anything.

Fu Bei didn't interrupt her, but listened quietly while helping her to loosen the messy hair wrapped around her chest.

"She left as soon as she left, it's nothing." Josie continued, pausing for a moment, "It's really kind of you to come back to see me now, but I don't want to see her."

As she spoke, she looked down at Fu Bei, her red lips parted slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she added, "It's not that I blame her for leaving, but I just don't want to see her."

Since I decided to leave at the beginning, I was so ruthless. Now that everyone is fine, why come back and act like I want to make up for it, as if it is wrong not to accept it.Not everyone in this world needs to make amends. Josie neither resents nor hates. Now everyone has a new life. Those things in the past are no longer important. I don’t want to have any more entanglements. Sensational drama is really unnecessary.

Fu Bei could understand this kind of reasoning, and touched the side of Josie's face with his fingertips, "I know, it's fine."

Josie said: "She came to the company to find me today, but I didn't see her."

Qiao's mother was so unfeeling in the past, wishing she could leave Jiangcheng immediately, but now she wants to get back together, Josie really doesn't want to get back together, she just thinks that Qiao's mother's actions have brought a lot of trouble to herself.

Fu Bei understood, comforted her, and said, "She's leaving the day after tomorrow, bear with it."

The two chatted openly for a long time, and occasionally talked about the past. It would be much easier to share with one more person, and Josie was not so anxious.

Qiao's mother is still half-conscious. She hasn't seen Josie since she went to the company. Abducted still talked about Josie and Fu Bei.

It's not that easy to change the concept, but Qiao Jianliang's attitude is firm. The meaning in the words is that Josie is so old, and adults have their own decisions. They didn't take care of the children when they were young, and now they have no right to interfere. Can't interfere.

Qiao's mother said: "She is impulsive, and there will always be a day when she regrets it."

"Then let's talk about it when you regret it." Qiao Jianliang replied, "Anyway, it's her own business, so don't worry about it."

This sentence made Qiao's mother a little annoyed, she gave Qiao Jianliang a sideways look, and said mockingly: "You are a good person now, and I am the one who did the evil."

Qiao Jianliang remained silent.

In fact, no one is an absolute bad person, they just have different positions on a certain matter. Qiao's mother is not bad, but her ideas are too biased. However, after she left the compound, she did not go to find Josie again. Treat Fu Bei to a meal.

Fu Bei had told Josie about this, and she went there without Josie's objection. After the meeting, they didn't talk about anything substantive, just sounding out and trying Fu Bei's attitude.

The next day, Qiao's mother went to the airport alone, coming and going alone.

Qiao Jianliang's attitude was known to both of them. Fu Bei visited the compound once in his free time, drank tea with him, and chatted with him. Bei, but now the more he looks at it, the more he doesn't like it, and he always feels a little dissatisfied everywhere.

"You live with Xiaoxi now?" Qiao Jianliang asked dryly, with a dignified face, and seemed to have a lot of opinion about it.

Fu Bei didn't hide it at all, and nodded politely, "I've lived here for a while."

The incomparable honesty made Qiao Jianliang's complexion turn green and pale.How Qiao Jianliang didn't understand the affairs between young people, he was really embarrassed to say it clearly, and said something in a roundabout way, meaning don't mess around, they are still young, if you want to make a major decision, you must discuss it with the elders.He didn't make things difficult for Fu Bei from the beginning to the end, but he also didn't let Fu Bei pour tea for him. After all, he still hasn't fully accepted it, and it depends on Fu Bei's future performance.

Qiao Jianliang has never been a qualified father, and he has only done well in this matter in his life. He didn't make a lot of noise like the elders in other families, and he respected his daughter.

Naturally, after Josie knew this, her relationship with Qiao Jianliang improved by leaps and bounds. The father and daughter would eat together or go out for a walk from time to time.Although there is Zhou Meihe between them, it doesn't have much influence, and Josie understands some reasons. In his opinion, no matter how bad Zhou Meihe is, she is Qiao Jianliang's own chosen wife. There must be other merits. As long as Qiao Jianliang If you can get along with her and live happily ever after, that's fine.

Zhou Meihe has been very quiet lately. Maybe it was the downfall of the Zhou family that made her completely sober. She finally began to turn to Qiao Jianliang's side in everything. After getting rid of the relationship, his mind suddenly brightened up, and he even treated Josie better.

Qiao's mother came to the house. Although she was upset, she didn't say anything. She usually did her best to take care of Qiao Jianliang.

Until here, everything was developing in a good direction, and the real change came quietly at this time.

——Something happened to Zhou Lin.

He met a lot of rich second-generation friends while studying abroad. Without adults around him, he ate, drank and had fun with these people all day long. Yes, he fell into the water and had an accident. After he was rescued, he was exhaling more air than inhaling. Because he fell into the water for too long, even if he was successfully rescued later, his brain was still damaged due to long-term lack of oxygen, and he became a vegetative state.Whether he can wake up in the future is still unknown, maybe he can only lie in bed for the rest of his life.

Zhou Meihe passed out immediately after hearing the news. After waking up, she was too emotional and fainted again. She kept crying and remorse. She obviously had no mercy when she beat and scolded the child, but now she was terribly sad, but regret had no effect.

If Zhou Meihe had treated her son a little better from childhood, maybe Zhou Lin would not have become the kind of person he is now, maybe many things could have been avoided, there would have been a different life trajectory, maybe there would have been no accidents... Unfortunately, no if.

All the consequences and sufferings now, she has to swallow by herself.

The man was brought back by Josie from Canada, and she was also handling all the follow-up matters. Zhou Meihe cried every day until her eyes were swollen into walnuts.

Fu Bei visited the hospital once and picked up Josie by the way.

On the way back, Fu Bei asked, "Do you want to go to Cijing Town next week?"

Josie froze for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"My dad wants to see you."
