Qiao Ming looked at Qiao Xi's sullen face and fell into deep thought, so he patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Although the family lost contact with the second aunt after the death of the second uncle, the Qiao family is a well-mannered family. After all, she and the second uncle Husband and wife have been kind for a day, and the family is not against her. If you come to me for help, how can I tell the fourth aunt? If I talk about it, there is a suspicion that the second aunt is dissatisfied with the fourth aunt behind the scenes, and it will be contradictory at that time Bigger."

Qiao Xi wouldn't really believe what Qiao Mingduan said. His elder brother looked gentle and upright, but his mind was full of ideas. He, Qiao Xi, was not his opponent.

Qiao Xi lowered her head and began to narrate the family affairs: "Since I was born, my father has been busy with the company's affairs. He is always outside and never stays at home for a few days all year round. In addition, he died early. Dad doesn't understand. But my mother, at least I get along with her more, she contributes more to the family than my father. My mother is strong, practical, and has a strong sense of self. It is impossible to depend on other people to live. According to her, she and my dad were competitors when she was in school. She was the most dazzling existence in the college at that time, and there were many people who pursued her. Most of her old classmates are now rich Bufan, there are people who are comparable to the Qiao family. You know about these things, brother. If she hadn't married my dad back then, her life might have been better. When my mother married my dad, At that time, we signed a co-living agreement, and the two did their own things without interfering with each other, and only raised children together. Speaking of it, I don’t think my father raised me at all. Apart from leaving me some inheritance, I even like him I don’t know what to eat, and he doesn’t know what I like to eat. The time we spend together is really limited, and we don’t know each other well. My dad didn’t pay too much for my mother and my small family in his life. Work hard for the cause of the big family of our Qiao family. In this way, what right does our Qiao family have to blame my mother. My mother is a person, under such pressure, she will also have emotional appeals. My father has at least so many brothers and sisters, My mother is only one person. Maybe the Qiao family can say that she is a traitor, but I can't say that. "

Qiao Ming looked at Qiao Xi, but didn't respond for a while, and the room was very quiet.

After a while, he rubbed the photo album in his hand and said: "Looking at things from different angles, there will always be different judgments. But I can't make others ambitious. But you should be so filial to Second Aunt. "

Qiao Xi raised her head and met his eyes: "But you don't want other people's ambitions, aren't you too narrow! Resolving conflicts with my mother is also a way to turn an enemy into a friend. Wouldn't it be good to have one more friend? Besides, I Mom has no hostility towards our Qiao family. She didn't want any of my dad's inheritance before. She has been with my dad for decades, and she has been contributing to the family. It's not that she didn't care about my dad. She Being with Uncle Jiang was also after I went to college and she and my dad completely separated. Before that, I didn’t believe that my dad didn’t have a confidante. After he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and stayed in the hospital, he took care of him in the hospital. That woman, I don't believe it's a nurse, even I can't bear this kind of thing, but let my mother go to spend with his outer room at this time, my mother can't bear it. Although the dead are the most serious, everyone is too Double standard."

Qiao Mingduan saw how excited he was speaking, and sighed: "I can understand you a little when you say these words in front of me, but you can't say these words in front of Fourth Aunt. The contradictions of decades are not based on rationality and harmony. Reasons can be resolved. The more reasonable you are, the less Fourth Aunt will want to be reasonable."

Qiao Xi frowned and said, "That's why I want you to come forward to persuade me, otherwise I will be caught in the middle, how embarrassing it is."

Qiao Mingduan said: "I can't help you with this matter, you can only go to Fourth Aunt yourself, but I can give you an idea."

"Tell me." Qiao Xi pretended to be listening attentively.

Qiao Ming smiled, and reached out to stroke his soft long hair: "You sleep with me tonight, and I'll tell you the story."

Qiao Xi almost rolled her eyes at him: "Speak or not."

Qiao Mingduan grabbed his shoulder helplessly: "Look at your temper, can't you be softer? It's okay to pretend to agree."

Qiao Xi snorted, and Qiao Mingduan said: "To ease the conflict between two women, the first thing is to find something that both of them dislike, so that they can easily resonate, especially if they eat at the same place. Unfortunately, those two people can understand each other better. Second, you have to convey this point in the middle. It is best that you can sell it badly. The fourth aunt loves you. You just need to sell badly and say that the two are your favorite If you see two people unhappy, you will be more sad than them, that's about it. Don't say too much, Fourth Aunt is a smart person, just say more and let it go. "

Qiao Xi frowned: "Is it really useful?"

Qiao Mingduan said: "You just believe me. Anyway, you can't suffer if you try it."

Qiao Xi lay down on the bed and said, "Then I'll think about it."

Qiao Mingduan looked through the photo of Qiao Xi's shaved head, because he was wearing Taoist robes, he looked like a pretty monk, he wanted to tease Qiao Xi, but seeing that he was deep in thought, he didn't bother him anymore.

He put away all the photo albums on the bed and put them on the bedside table, saying: "Go back to sleep, it's getting late, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Qiao Xi ran to the sofa and hugged her pillow and quilt to the bed: "I'll sleep with you."

Qiao Mingduan laughed: "I really took great pains to let you sleep on the bed."

Early the next morning, Qiao Mingduan woke up Qiao Xi, who was sleeping like a dead pig: "Get up, we are going to County P, the third uncle and fourth aunt's plane arrives early in the morning, It’s going directly to County P. If we don’t hurry up, it will be too late.”

Qiao Xi buried her face in the soft quilt in pain: "I have a headache, and I want to sleep for a while."

Qiao Mingduan wiped the hair covering his face aside, and then pulled him out of the quilt: "Get up soon, you said you are not used to sleeping in the same bed with other people, you almost fell asleep How can I notice that there is another person on the bed."

When Qiao Xi was pushed into the car by Qiao Mingduan, he was still in a state of dizziness. He liked to sleep very much, so getting up so early was really unbearable.

Fortunately, the bodyguard and driver were driving, and Qiao Ming was sitting in the back seat on the phone, so he pressed Qiao Xi down and let him continue to sleep next to him.

As soon as they arrived at the Qiao family's ancestral house compound in P County, the elders' cars arrived. It didn't take too long to worship the ancestors. After the sacrifice, several elders called Qiao Mingduan to talk in the lobby. Cousin Qiao Mingsi pulled him out of the ancestral house to play in the fields outside.

Qiao Mingsi is the son of his younger uncle Qiao Junze. He is only eighteen or nineteen years old. He studied in City B since he was a child, and now he is studying in the United States. He has only been back for a day, and he will go back to the United States soon.

He is a person with a flamboyant personality, not at all reserved and composed like Qiao Mingduan: "Second brother, I came here by car just now. The scenery on the road is not bad. Let's go for a walk."

Qiao Xi said: "It's dirty, there is nothing to go, I won't go."

"Do you have a shotgun here? We went out to shoot birds, and I saw some birds."

Qiao Xi frowned: "Do you have a gun license?"

Qiao Mingsi said: "I haven't got it yet, but I will soon. I'm good at marksmanship."

Qiao Xi said: "Everyone will go back to City S in a while. Let's go out now. If you are not there when uncle calls you, you will be scolded again."

Qiao Mingsi said: "There are many mountains and forests here, take me to hunt in the forest."

Qiao Xi: "You let someone take you there. I won't go."

Qiao Mingsi frowned and was unhappy, Qiao Xi didn't want to talk to him, and turned to leave, Qiao Mingsi was used to being coaxed by others, and being ignored by Qiao Xi, he clung to Qiao Xi instead.

Although he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he had already grown to 1.9 meters, taller than Qiao Xi. He reached out and grabbed Qiao Xi's shoulders. He leaned into Qiao Xi's ear and said, "Second brother, I heard that S city has the most beauties and handsome men." Now, go back to the city and take me to play."

Qiao Xi wanted to flatter Qiao Mingduan, the heir of the Qiao family, but he didn't need to pay attention to the little boy Qiao Mingsi. He pinched Qiao Mingsi's chin on the spot, and patted his cheek lightly: "If you have the ability to ask your father to take you there, I really don't learn well."

Qiao Xi is beautiful and the second child in the family. Qiao Mingsi has always been a bully, but at this time he was not angry when he slapped his face. Instead, he smiled and said: "You are so serious! I am so old, I should see See the big scene."

"Fuck you, what is a big scene? I'll ask my elder brother to do ideological work for you. Let him take you to see the big scene and listen to the seven-day party class, okay?" Qiao Xi said this like a joke, but his expression was so dark At the end, "How long have you been out now? You can't just go out to pick up girls and have sex. I'll have someone come and take your hair for testing. If it's positive for marijuana, I'll have your dad smoke you to death."

Qiao Mingsi didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. A hair test can detect a small amount of drug use, and it can be detected if he has smoked marijuana within two years.

Seeing Qiao Mingsi's sudden surprise, Qiao Xi became even angrier: "Qiao Mingsi, hair can detect drug use within two years. If you dare to touch marijuana in the United States and don't study hard, it will not be a good thing."

Qiao Mingsi was a little concerned at the beginning, but immediately went to school with a stick: "I was guaranteed by myself and went to school with a full scholarship. I didn't mess around. It's just that everyone has a love for beauty. Look at beauties What kind of."

Qiao Xi said: "Don't talk to me about this, I didn't sleep enough last night and I had a headache. We'll go back to S City after Third Uncle and the others finish talking."

Although Qiao Xi doesn't like to talk to Qiao Mingsi very much, but Qiao Mingsi has been twisting him, and even asked him why he has long hair. .

Qiao's team left County P and returned to City S before lunch.

Qiao Xi and Qiao Ming were sitting in the same car, and Qiao Mingsi insisted on squeezing them over.

It is conceivable how crowded the three big men were sitting in the back seat. Although there is a lot of space in the car, Qiao Xi still wanted to throw Qiao Mingsi out of the car.

Qiao Mingsi lived and went to school at Qiao Mingduan's house when he was a child. Qiao Mingduan had the stability and dignity of a big parent since he was a child. Qiao Mingsi didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, so he kept talking to Qiao Xi in a low voice, asking him about the customs of S City.

Qiao Xi didn't want to talk to him, and only dealt with him casually when he was annoyed by his quarrel.

Ever since Qiao Xi's father, Qiao Junwen, passed away, the Qiao family's industrial headquarters has been transferred from City S to City H. Although there is still a very important branch in City S, it is nowhere near what it was back then.

This naturally involves a lot of power transfer issues. Many of the generals who followed Qiao Junwen in the past have left because of Qiao Junze's ascension. Qiao Xi does not have any power and influence in the Junwen Group.

Qiao's family had dinner in a restaurant at noon that day, and many of them were leaving in the afternoon.

Qiao Mingduan also wanted to go back to City B with everyone, so he called Qiao Xi: "You can take us to the airport."

Qiao Xi agreed.

Qiao Junze asked Qiao Mingsi to go back to City B with him, but Qiao Mingsi was not happy: "I still want to stay with Second Brother for two days, can I go back in two days? Anyway, Second Brother will take me with me, nothing will happen."

Qiao Junze was a little annoyed, and it was not easy to teach him a lesson in front of everyone, so he agreed and told Qiao Xi not to spoil him.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to accept Qiao Mingsi's big trouble.
