half thorns, half joy

"Hmm..." Lin Qiaoer smiled self-deprecatingly, "Everyone here knows about my family, and they all avoid me. It's meaningless to stay here."

It has always been the inferiority of human beings to worship the high and step down on the low.

In particular, Lin Qiaoer used to be bluffing and liked to make friends. Most of the people who played with her were wine and meat friends, and she never cultivated a real friendship.

Xiao Zihan was silent for a few seconds before humming.

Lin Qiaoer's father, Lin Mingshen, has already been arrested, and Lin Qiaoer's family's villa car has also been confiscated. Xiao Zihan has already heard about these things, so there is no need to ask further.

As for consolation, Xiao Zihan has never been good at it.

He didn't want to comfort Lin Qiaoer either, but he was a little bit embarrassed about the direction of this incident.

I think it was only half a year ago that Lin Qiaoer was high-spirited, confident and flamboyant, the complete opposite of the masked woman in front of her with erratic gaze.

"Your baby is very cute." Lin Qiaoer focused her eyes on the baby in Xiao Zihan's arms, and after a long time, she gave a short smile.

Just from her exposed eyes, you can see how envious she is.

Xiao Zihan nodded with a slight smile, "Thank you."

"Let's go, it's time for me to go to the security check." Lin Qiaoer looked away and bid farewell to Xiao Zihan.

Watching her pass by, Tang Xuan suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Lin Qiaoer." Tang Xuan called out to Lin Qiaoer's back.

Lin Qiaoer stopped in her tracks and didn't look back.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath, glanced at Xiao Zihan, and continued, "If you have any difficulties over there, just go to Zihan. He knows some people and should be able to help you."

Lin Qiaoer stood blankly for a while, then slowly turned her head, her brows furrowed, her voice became choked up, "Why..."

Why, you still want to help me like this.

It's obvious that I've done such an unreasonable thing to you.

"Yes, if you need any help, please contact me. You're welcome to get to know each other." Xiao Zihan also followed Tang Xuan's words.

"..." Lin Qiaoer was so shocked that she didn't know how to deal with Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan's kindness.

Tears rolled from the corners of her eyes, and she bit her lip tightly.

Now, she couldn't care less about guessing whether Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan's kindness was true or not.Whether it was true or not, these were the most heart-warming and gentle words she had heard recently.

But what she didn't expect was that these words came from these two people she once hated to the bone.

"Why..." Lin Qiaoer let go of the hand holding the suitcase, and held her face in embarrassment.Tears poured down, wetting her palms.

After all, Tang Xuan and Lin Qiaoer were not friends. Seeing Lin Qiaoer crying, she stood still and did not move. She just replied calmly, "Because you have already been punished enough, there is really no need to step on it again. Presumably, after encountering these things, you You can also see people's hearts clearly."

This answer sounds a bit indifferent, but it sounds very real.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." Lin Qiaoer was crying and trembling, and apologized to Tang Xuan with sobs.

Today, at this moment, these three words are Lin Qiaoer's sincere apology.

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan looked at each other, each other's eyes were filled with emotion.Tang Xuan motioned to Xiao Zihan, Xiao Zihan walked over and patted Lin Qiaoer's shoulder lightly.

"Everything will pass." Xiao Zihan said.

Lin Qiaoer nodded, and gradually calmed down from crying.

She took the tissue from Tang Xuan and wiped away her tears. She raised her head and saw a passerby looking at her curiously. She was extremely embarrassed.

"It's getting late, go ahead, and contact me if you have any difficulties." Xiao Zihan said.

"Hmm." Lin Qiaoer stretched out her hand with red eyes, wanting to hug Xiao Zihan, but she retracted before touching Xiao Zihan.She nodded and bid farewell to Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan with a hoarse voice, "Then I'm leaving, take care."

After speaking, she pulled up the suitcase again, and walked away step by step.

Watching Lin Qiaoer pass the security check and disappear, Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan with great interest, and clicked his tongue, "Honey, you made me admire you again."

"Really?" Tang Xuan's reaction was very calm.

"That's right, when this kind of thing happens to ordinary girls, shouldn't they gloat over others' misfortune? At least, they are also indifferent. How about you, and let me comfort Lin Qiaoer, you are not jealous at all?"

Tang Xuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zihan angrily, "Student Xiao, you're underestimating me too much for what you said. Besides, ordinary girls don't make trouble like that. As for me, I did it because of myself. I've been at the bottom of my life, so I know what it's like. It's just a matter of life."

Xiao Zihan couldn't help laughing. Of course he knew what kind of person Tang Xuan was. What he said just now was purely teasing.

After all, the atmosphere is heavy, so what if you don't joke about it.

"Let's go, the driver has been waiting for a long time." Xiao Zihan rubbed the baby's milky face, and walked towards the exit first.

Tang Xuan came to her senses belatedly, shook her head helplessly, picked up her luggage and followed.

The driver came in a nanny's car. As soon as the door opened, Tang Xuan saw Cai Jinyu and Huang Tingting sitting in the car seat.

"Why are you all here?" Tang Xuan laughed.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up. Get in the car and let me see the baby." Cai Jinyu rubbed her hands excitedly.

Xiao Zihan carried the baby into the car, his eyes froze, "Your hands are dirty, don't touch the baby. There are disinfectant tissues over there, go and wipe your hands first."

The nanny car was spacious. Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan sat in the same row, and Cai Jinyu and Huang Tingting sat in the same row. The two rows of seats were facing each other.

"Tingting, how are you playing these few days? Did Jinyu take you to have fun?" Tang Xuan cared about her friend.

Huang Tingting quickly glanced at Cai Jinyu and nodded.

Seeing her friend's subtle expression, Tang Xuan deliberately asked Cai Jinyu, "Jinyu, what's the matter with you, didn't you promise me to take Tingting to have fun?"

"Hey, what do you mean, I took her for fun." Cai Jinyu hastily defended herself, "Come on, Tingting, tell Tang Xuan in detail whether I took you or not. play."

"...I brought it with me. I went to many places. It was very interesting." Maybe Cai Jinyu's tone of voice was too amusing, Huang Tingting couldn't stop laughing.

"That's good." Tang Xuan finally gave up.

Her eyes moved from Cai Jinyu to Huang Tingting, looking at Huang Tingting's crooked eyes with a smile, she intuitively sensed something was wrong.

But this guess is really absurd, besides, Huang Tingting has always been prejudiced against Cai Jinyu, and Cai Jinyu has also been very close to that girl named Lin Liuliu recently.

No matter how you think about it, these two people don't seem to have any relationship.

Tang Xuan didn't let herself think too much, but took out the special products she bought from her bag and gave them to Cai Jinyu and Huang Tingting.

"Zhang Family Momo?" Cai Jinyu took the plastic bag and read out the name on the bag in confusion.

Tang Xuan smiled apologetically, "Most of the specialties from our place can't be brought, and this is the only thing I can bring. You may not like it, just treat it as something new."

"Okay, I have a conscience, thank you." Facing the cheap specialty products worth more than ten yuan a pack, Cai Jinyu didn't show any disdain, and put them away seriously.

As for Huang Tingting, when she was in college, she had already received Tang Xuan's hometown specialties, so it was no surprise that she thanked her and put them away.

After chatting for a while, Tang Xuan thought of Cai Lin and asked Cai Jinyu, "Where is Linlin, what is she doing today?"

Cai Jinyu's originally beaming face collapsed immediately after hearing Tang Xuan's question.

Therefore, Tang Xuan didn't need Cai Jinyu to answer, she already knew the answer.

Huang Tingting didn't know the reason for this, fearing that Tang Xuan would misunderstand Cai Jinyu, she whispered, "Cai Lin, she went to Deng Langyue's house to play."

"Going to Deng Langyue's house?" This surprised Tang Xuan.

Even Xiao Zihan couldn't help looking at Cai Jinyu.

All the people here are adults, and everyone knows that going to the other party's house means something more or less.

"Ahem..." Tang Xuan was afraid that Cai Jinyu would be angry, so she helped Cai Lin to speak up, "Jinyu, don't be too angry, Linlin has a sense of proportion, Deng Langyue's legs are not recovering, and the date at home is also for him Consider your legs."

"I'm not worried about that kind of thing." Cai Jinyu's face was sullen, the corners of his mouth were tense, he looked at Xiao Zihan, and said word by word: "Deng Langyue took Linlin to that house of the Deng family."

Suddenly, Xiao Zihan's face became heavy.
