Xiao has thought about it for a long time

It's a pity that Josie doesn't know how to look at her face. At the age of seven or eight, she doesn't know people. She was immediately caught by that pretty face, and she really obediently called out, her voice was weak, and her dark eyes looked at her openly. looking at each other.

At that time, the old lady was still alive, and she liked this quirky girl, so she kindly said to Josie: "From now on, I will be a neighbor, and I will come here to play when I have free time."

She nodded timidly, taking it seriously.

The old lady is from the Liyuan, she sings Kunqu Opera Danjiao, she is well-known and respected in the industry, and she has two direct disciples under her door.Josie likes to make trouble with everyone, learning in style, but she still can't learn the essence, she doesn't care, because she didn't come here to learn Kunqu Opera.

Fu Bei loves to read, and he can sit still more than anyone else. He often sits with a book on the stone table in the courtyard and reads without raising his head all afternoon.

Josie was watching secretly from the balcony of the practice room, wondering what she was reading.

Twelve or thirteen-year-olds already have a cold and clean appearance, with a maturity and peace that does not match their age, and attracts people's eyes.When getting along with Fu Bei, this person's brows would be frowned from time to time, impatient to be disturbed by her, and sometimes when he was really annoyed, he would say in a calm voice, "Don't stare at me all day long."

Josie's face has been thick since she was a child, and at this moment she said seriously with a small face, "I didn't look at you."

Fu Bei was not happy.

She added: "You only find out that I am looking at you when you look at me. Even if I am looking at you, then you are looking at me too."

Fu Bei didn't bother to pay attention to it, so there were so many fallacies.

The Qiao family is a nouveau riche, vulgar and has no background, the whole family does not have two educated people, and the highest education is college student Qiao's mother.Qiao's mother is a standard traditional woman, gentle and gentle, with a soft temper that can pinch water, but Josie is like wildfire. hospital.

The Fu family is a scholarly family with a solid and profound family background. Both the old lady and Grandpa Fu came from wealthy families in the old days. Papa Fu's generation was all schooled in studying abroad. Except for Papa Fu who became the big boss, the rest are all Engaging in academics, rich and well-established, is very different from the Qiao family.

When I was young, I didn't understand the world and the world, and I didn't understand the difference between the two families. Only when I grew up did I realize that people are divided into classes. Even if your family is not short of money, you still don't belong to that circle.

Later, Qiao Jianliang tried his best to fit into this circle, and told Qiao Xier to study hard all day long, so that he could become a promising intellectual in the future.But Josie didn't have that ability, she wasn't a material for studying, not only went to an ordinary university, but also worked in a profession that people around her looked down upon after graduation.

She used to pretend to read and get close to Fu Bei by learning.

At first I didn't like it, I just wanted to get close to this person.

Fu Bei treats everyone like that, he likes to be indifferent, a little arrogant, he is not perfect when he is a teenager, and sometimes he can't help but show his emotions on his face, unlike later on when he was gentle with everyone, Chengfu deep.

Josie felt that she was not targeting herself, so she made an inch of it and ran to Fu's house all day long.

"What are you doing here?" Mr. Fu Bei asked, his cold face remained as expressionless as ever.

She replied shyly, "Looking for someone else, not you."

In the end, I still had to go to Fu Bei's side, leaning on the stone table to see what book Fu Bei was reading. It was a famous book in English, with "Pride and Prejudice" printed on the intricately patterned cover, and the pages were full of dense English letters. , Josie didn't know a single word.

It wasn't until I was in high school that the teacher recommended a good book to everyone to read, and when I remembered that book, I realized that the English name was translated as "Pride and Prejudice".The love story between Elizabeth and Darcy illuminates Josie's teenage heart. She feels that Fu Bei is prejudiced against herself, but she is not arrogant and thinks she is very approachable.

Fu Bei didn't like others getting so close, so he frowned and moved away without a trace.

Josie didn't know what was going on, so she followed along.

"What book is this?" she asked softly.

Fu Bei said lightly, "You don't understand."

Josie was in a bad mouth, and immediately replied, "I just asked you because I didn't understand."

At that time, the people in the Fu family were pretty good, and they were very tolerant towards her as a child. Even the always majestic Grandpa Fu would soften his face when facing her, so Josie has never been interested, and she still doesn't understand those twists and turns. around.

The old lady is kind, and every time she sees her insisting on getting close to Fu Bei, she will say: "She is young and ignorant, you have to give way."

Fu Bei said indifferently: "She is already eight years old."

Josie quickly corrected it with a serious face: "It's not full yet, it's two months away."

It made the old lady laugh.

Looking back now, the period of ignorance and ignorance was indeed the happiest. In those years, Qiao’s mother was there, and the old lady was also there. She was the most favored. It's just too arrogant.

The one sentence Fu Bei said to her the most in those years was that when he was seriously impatient, his thin lips moved -- "Don't follow me."

It's still acceptable, it doesn't matter, and Fu Bei is really good among a group of rich kids, and he can't be called bad. Their noble status and taste are similar.

There were a lot of guests who came to the banquet. Some of them were very familiar, and they had even seen them on TV. Of course, there were also people Josie hated, such as the straight-haired girl in a light yellow dress opposite.

The straight-haired girl is the niece of her stepmother, her name is Zhou Jiaqi, and she was born in a family with a high degree of education. It's like looking at a thorn in the flesh, it's uncomfortable if you don't pull it out.

Josie just wanted to drink a glass of water to moisten her throat, but she didn't eat anything from last night until now, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

Who knows that Mrs. Zhou Jiaqi came over gently, and greeted acquaintances friendly as she walked. When she walked in front of her, she immediately lowered her face and stabbed lightly, "Come here without wearing a dress. Didn't uncle teach you? When you come here Just leave after a light meal, and show off to someone in this outfit."

Not wanting to fight today, Josie put down the glass after drinking the water, and replied, "I didn't teach you before."

One sentence blocked Zhou Jiaqi.

Quarrels are not allowed on such occasions, Zhou Jiaqi was still clear-headed, and snorted mockingly.

The Zhou family is not considered rich in this circle, but they have produced several intellectuals, and they have a relationship with the Fu family in terms of academic research. Zhou Meihe is a university teacher, which is why Qiao Jianliang married her in his second marriage. She is decent and cultivated. Add a long face to the Qiao family.

"Don't mess with me today, I'm not in the mood." Josie said slowly, unwilling to even give her a look.

Zhou Jiaqi satirized: "Why are you pretending to be noble."

Josie glanced at her just now, but she didn't fight back. She promised Qiao Jianliang that she would only eat and not cause trouble, so she endured it and ignored it.

Zhou Jiaqi was making fun of herself, looked down on Josie from the bottom of her heart, felt ashamed when standing together, walked away without concealing her disgust, met her friend on the other side, whispered a few dissatisfied words, probably talking bad things about Josie, a group of people Qi Qi looked over.

Guessing what was going on, Josie immediately burst into a smile. Seeing that the faces of the group of people were not happy, the corners of their lips were even more curved, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, which was a bit sarcasm.

She was born beautiful, and exuded a sense of high-end glamor in every gesture, raised her chin slightly, glanced around casually, and stared at the group of people opposite, good-looking and unruly, even without a gorgeous dress, her appearance can Hang and beat these bitch women.

Zhou Jiaqi's face turned ugly for a moment, she gritted her teeth resentfully, and felt annoyed seeing her laughing like that.

Fu Bei in the distance noticed the abnormality here and took a second look.

The person next to him asked, "What are you looking at?"

Fu Bei looked away calmly, and replied calmly, "It's nothing."

Josie met Grandpa Fu.

The old man's body is still strong, and he smiles when he sees her, and doesn't care what kind of clothes she wears.

"Your dad said that you recently opened your own shop, what kind of business are you doing?"

Grandpa Fu has always been good at dealing with things, and he can greet everyone with a smile, including her. He obviously didn't invite Josie when he was a treat, but now he is not surprised when he sees people, and he can even tolerate her different clothes from others.

He was nice to Josie before, but after he understood what Josie was thinking, he changed his mind.

Josie replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Opening a tattoo shop is not a business."

Knowing that others look down on you, you will not put gold on your face.

Grandpa Fu looked as usual.

The other people next to him had complicated expressions. The Qiao family was quite rich and opened a tattoo shop...

"That's right," said Grandpa Fu, without the slightest hint of contempt in his words, "If you have your own ideas, young people always have to go out and work hard."

The people around echoed and even boasted a few words.

Most of the people present were scumbags, and when the wind blew, they would fall to one side. Josie had long been used to such a scene, and he could still reply without surprise.

"Just find something to do, be idle and bored."

Grandpa Fu suddenly asked, "How many days are you going to stay at home this time?"

Ever since her stepmother entered Qiao's house, Josie seldom came back. If it was not necessary, she would not see anyone for two or three months. Go out alone.

She was startled, and then said, "I haven't figured it out yet, let's see."

"Jianliang said that you are going to travel, and it will be in these two days." Grandpa Fu is a smart person, guessing that she would care about the Fu family's not inviting her, he explained in a roundabout way.

Josie didn't answer, thinking about what to say.

You have to give others a step down, no.

But before she could open her mouth, a tall and neat figure stood in front of her, just covering her.

Fu Bei looked at the crowd calmly, and called softly, "Grandpa."

As soon as this person came, Grandpa Fu stopped talking immediately.

There was no chat at all, and after a while, the group left.

The location of Fu Bei station happened to be blocking Josie who was in the corner so that no one would walk away during the conversation.She looked indifferently, looking down, the calmness in her eyes remained the same, and she seemed to have no intention of getting out of the way.

Josie tried to go around on the other side, but was blocked again.

"Go upstairs and wait for me in the room." Fu Bei said in a low voice with his thin lips moving.

Consistent style, can not be refused.Josie didn't respond as obediently as before, but replied nonchalantly: "The banquet is about to start, I'll see you in the evening."

When she was talking, she was relatively close, and Fu Bei could smell the faint fragrance, which was with her all night last night, so it was naturally unforgettable.Josie's clothes have a loose neckline, revealing half of her delicate and sexy collarbone, and above her fair and slender neck, she always unconsciously raises her head slightly when she speaks, making her smooth neck look even softer.

Fu Bei hummed and looked away.
