Xiao has thought about it for a long time

At that time, the Qiao family had just made a fortune, and Qiao Jianliang and his wife were busy building a business and making money all day long. They didn't have the energy to take care of their children. They didn't pay attention to the education of their daughter at all. The above two old people have passed away many years ago.

Seven or eight years old is the age that likes to play around the most, longing for friends, but there are no peers around, so Josie is alone.

The old lady regretted that she thought that the Qiao family was irresponsible, but she couldn't take care of other people's family affairs after all, so she just muttered in private: "Children are not born and finished, they have to be taught and raised. Since they have money, enroll in an interest class to let them go." She just needs to play with other children, alas, this family is really..."

Fu Bei heard this when he entered the door, and looked over.

When the old lady saw it, she kindly asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Zhao Shihuan and the others had something to go back, so they left early." She said.

"It's a coincidence that you came back," the old lady said with a smile, "Xiaoxi just passed by, and she was depressed all afternoon. She even picked up the balcony several times. She has been waiting for you. It's a pity."

Fu Bei paused and said nothing.

The next day, Josie didn't run here early in the morning as usual, and she didn't see anyone until the afternoon, probably still angry with yesterday.

But still came after dinner.

At that time, Fu Bei was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when he saw someone, he raised his eyelids.

Josie didn't go close to her, but went to get close to the old lady. The old lady asked with a smile, "Why don't you come here during the day and go out?"

"Go to the pawn shop." Josie replied in a low voice, and glanced at Fu Bei consciously or unconsciously from the corner of her eye.

The pawn shop is an old shop in the North District. It used to be in the pawn business, but now it was bought by Qiao Jianliang to sell antiques. The people around still call the place by its original name.

The old lady asked the servant Duan to order melon and fruit cakes, and pushed them all to Josie.

Josie ate the cake obediently, chatting with the old lady from time to time, but just ignored Fu Bei.

Fu Bei leaned against the back of the sofa to watch TV, not paying attention to the old and the young.Until the old lady left in the middle, Josie seemed to be not happy with the halfway staring. She looked here several times in a row, but she didn't respond, and the child left after eating the cake.

The old lady didn't see anyone when she came out, so she wondered: "Where is the person, where did he go?"

"gone."

"Going by yourself?"

Fu Bei hummed in a neutral tone.

The old lady got angry and reprimanded: "It's a big night, and she's so young, you wouldn't ask anyone at home to give it to her."

The night outside is quiet and boundless, and everything is pitch black. It would be dangerous if something happened.Fu Bei didn't say a word, which caused the old lady to say a few more things. The Fu family is good in everything. In the eyes of others, it is the most powerful family, but the old lady knows that everything in this family is good. Too indifferent.

The next day Josie came early as usual.The new skirt she was wearing was made by Qiao's mother herself. The skirt was large and fluffy, and it looked very cute and gratifying.

The children are always walking around, but they don't speak.

Fu Bei pretended not to see it.

Finally, Josie couldn't hold back, and asked in a muffled voice, "Fu Bei, what are you doing?"

Calling people by their names again is not as polite and honest as calling other people.

"Nothing." Fu Bei said flatly, and sat down on the sofa.Josie sat with him, at first she was a little far away, then she slowly moved towards the other side, and finally leaned cheekily against the other's arm. She didn't know how to look at Fu Bei, and stared at the TV with her big black eyes without blinking. Screen.

If there is no matter in the afternoon, it should be regarded as a reconciliation. The child's awkward temper comes and goes quickly, and he will sulk, but he will not hold grudges.

It's a pity that a group of people came to Fu's house in the afternoon, including adults and children, including Zhou Jiaqi. Zhou Jiaqi was one year older than Josie, and she was taller and thinner, with a delicate and good-looking appearance.

Josie hadn't grown much yet, she was short, a little chubby, and when she saw so many people, she stood by the side a little awkwardly, but no one paid attention to her, as everyone had something to do.

Zhou Jiaqi called out sweetly: "Sister Bei."

Before Fu Bei could speak, the parents immediately praised Zhou Jiaqi for being polite. After exchanging pleasantries, someone asked the old lady, "Is that your relative?"

"The one next door, come and play."

Josie and Zhou Jiaqi's Liang Zi was formed when they were young.

After the adults went outside, Zhou Jiaqi walked up to Josie and kept asking, "Where did you buy your skirt?"

The little girl was usually spoiled and spoiled, and her words were a bit domineering. She was spoiled by the people around her. Josie asked repeatedly without answering, and her tone was a bit arrogant.

Josie wanted to escape, but she didn't want to pay attention, but Zhou Jiaqi grabbed her skirt.

"Let go, you're going to tear the skirt." She said anxiously.Josie likes this dress very much, so she will wear it today. Children always want to show their best side to those who care about it.

Zhou Jiaqi didn't let it go, and said domineeringly: "You tell me where you bought it, and I will let it go."

"My mother made it."

But Zhou Jiaqi didn't believe it.

When Fu Bei was going downstairs, he happened to see Josie slapping Zhou Jiaqi's arm hard. The child had a lot of strength. Zhou Jiaqi looked up and saw her coming down, and she burst into tears first.

The adults outside were alarmed, but the two children had conflicts, so it was difficult for everyone to say anything, so they could only coax Zhou Jiaqi quickly.

Josie just stood there stubbornly, pinching the hem of her skirt with her little hands.

After all, he is someone else's child, and there are a lot of guests at home. Grandpa Fu asked Fu Bei to send Josie back to the next door.

Fu Bei went to see him off, walked quickly to the door of Qiao's house, and said in a deep voice, "Don't hit anyone in the future."

At the age of ten, right is right or wrong is wrong, and she thinks that no matter how much friction there is, she should not hit someone, let alone such a ruthless hand, she is not biased towards Josie, and her position is simply fair.

Josie was walking by the hem of her clothes, but when she heard this, she let go of her hand without saying a word, and walked back dully by herself.

Since this night, Josie has not been to Fu's house for the next week, and the old lady is still wondering: "Why didn't you come all of a sudden? Is there something wrong at home?"

Chen's mother said: "Yesterday I saw her sitting in front of the house, and I think she will come again in two days."

But still didn't come.

Two days later in the afternoon, Fu Bei met Josie at the security booth.

The child chatted with the security guard there. The security guard raised a simple and honest pug. She squatted on the ground to pet the dog, and hugged it from time to time. The pug was very affectionate to her and kept wagging its tail. .

Before Fu Bei had passed, Zhao Shihuan came.

Seeing Josie, Zhao Shihuan was overjoyed and shouted, "Hey, then who, kid, do you still know me?"

Of course they knew each other. Josie knew that she and Fu Bei were on good terms, so she ignored her and turned her back on her.But it made Zhao Shihuan laugh, she just owed her, so she had to lean over to tease her, which annoyed Josie.

"You are so annoying, don't touch me."

Zhao Shihuan's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he said cheerfully, "The place is so big, just squeeze it."

Josie was still in a fit of anger, and even affected others, so she ignored Zhao Shihuan. Zhao Shihuan took out a handful of candy like a magic trick, and coaxed: "Do you want to eat? I brought you specially imported candy, which is very good." food."

"Don't eat." Josie said bluntly, but her tone softened a lot.

Zhao Shihuan never knew what his face was, and he would coax people away with a few words. He planned to come to find Fu Bei, but now he didn't want to go, but coaxed Josie away, saying that he would take her out for a walk.

Josie was relatively innocent when she was a child, and she was trapped in the compound for a long time. When she heard that someone wanted to take her out to play, she was very moved.

Walking to the door quickly, Zhao Shihuan said: "You hold me."

Josie shook her head: "I won't hold you."

"If you don't, I won't look for you if you get lost." Zhao Shihuan was really not serious, he would say anything.

Josie hesitated and walked, but still grabbed Zhao Shihuan's hand.

Fu Bei stood behind a bush with dense branches, watching the two walk away step by step.

In the past, Fu Bei couldn't coax people, and now he can't influence anything.

Josie left Fu's house very simply.

After so many years, Chen Ma was still working in Fu's house. Seeing Fu Bei who came out two steps later, she muttered, "Miss Qiao is still the same, she hasn't changed much."

Fu Bei didn't answer, his demeanor was cold and subdued, his gaze stayed on the gate.

Staying at home for one night, Josie drove away early in the morning without having breakfast at home.Qiao Jianliang was in a dilemma, he was reluctant to let her go, and he couldn't let go of his arrogance to chase her, so he could only watch the car drive away.

Qijing Street is bustling and bustling, and there is a constant flow of traffic before dawn. After entering the street, it is blocked all the way, and it is already dawn when we drive to the door of the store.

The tattoo shop didn't hire any other staff, so Josie did it alone. The shop is small, but it has everything. It was hard to get business at the beginning of the new shop. Not two customers would come in a day to see it. Even if they came, ten consultations Nine out of [-] people don't know how to get tattoos.

She stayed in the store until 08:30, but there were really no customers, so she still closed the store and was going to buy vegetables and cook at home.

After moving out alone, the pace of life slowed down. She didn't rush to do things at all, and went to buy a lot of instant food after grocery shopping.

Downstairs in the community was quiet, a black Maybach was parked under the tall and lush old banyan tree, the car was very impressive, and Fu Bei was leaning against the car.The shadow of the whirling tree fell, and this place was half-lit, so that Josie didn't notice her when she got out of the car, until the man asked, "Where did you go?"

The voice is low and deep, adding a bit of coolness to the hot and humid night.
