"What's wrong with your mouth?" Xia Yuantu pointed to Qiao Nanqi's lower lip.

Qiao Nanqi sat aside and did not answer the question.

It was clearly not late at night, but he seemed extremely tired, with his forehead resting on one hand, his eyes slightly closed.

Whether it is Xiao Wu or Xia Yuantu, he is getting used to this state.

Xia Yuantu saw it at a glance: "What happened to you and Zhao Rong?"

At the mention of this name, Qiao Nanqi slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't speak immediately, but his eyes dimmed, and he didn't know what to think of. After a while, he said: "Today... I put everything I have in front of him, but he said that I..."

"He said I can't love people."

Xia Yuantu raised his eyebrows: "It's strange, what I said is actually the truth."

Qiao Nanqi glanced at him.

But he was really too depressed today, his eyes could be a bit colder in the past, but now he couldn't shake off the coldness.

Xia Yuantu was not intimidated by this look, "I used to see that you didn't care much about the things with Zhao Rong, and I thought that you, Old Qiao, are very good at unfeeling."

"I didn't expect to see the day when you confessed."

In the past, Qiao Nanqi would not answer a word of Xia Yuantu's words like this, all when Xia Yuantu was making noise again.

But this time, he twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a rare self-deprecating smile.

"Yes, I fell."

Xia Yuantu was stunned.

There is still awe in these words, and even the admission is full of arrogance.But Xia Yuantu heard the madness on the verge of collapse from inside.

He subconsciously looked at the materials in front of him that needed to be handed over to Qiao Nanqi, and suddenly hesitated.

Qiao Nanqi asked him, "What's the matter? Xiao Wu told me that there was something about Zhao Rong involved in Chen Da and Chen Er's affairs?"

He sat up straight, and all the slumped expression just now disappeared, leaving only full of fierceness.

Xia Yuantu saw that even if Zhao Rong hurt the world, he would have to deal with the way out, and hurriedly said: "It's not that those bad things are related to Zhao Rong, how can I say... Hey, take a look at these. Two rubbish, Chen Da still has a bit of backbone, Chen Er is cowardly, and wants to confess something about Chen Da to reduce his sentence. This is a matter he confessed about Zhao Rong."

He pushed the things in front of Qiao Nanqi with a troubled expression on his face.

If this matter had been placed a few months ago, maybe Qiao Nanqi would have known about it, but it was just one more thing that He Nan and the Chen family had done.

But for the current Qiao Nanqi...

He added: "Let me give you a vaccination first. These things have passed for many years, and Chen Da and Chen Er have already finished playing. It is useless to have any ideas now."

"Calm down after reading this."

Xia Yuantu's words seemed to be counterproductive, making Qiao Nanqi's already serious expression even deeper.

He took the documents and began to look through the first line seriously.

After reading only a few paragraphs, the hand that was not holding the document was quietly clenched.

He didn't say anything, just lowered his head, and no one could see his expression clearly.

It was eerily quiet.

Perhaps worried that Qiao Nanqi would be too scary to watch quietly like this, Xia Yuantu thought for a while, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Most of this is what Chen Er and their nanny said."

"There are not a few pages. You should read it soon."

night.

It just fell into the night, and it was the time to rise up amidst the bustling lights and feasting.

The waiter walked through the aisle, carrying the freshly brewed tea, and came to the innermost pool table.

Before putting it down, the waiter couldn't hold back, and still glanced at the young man who was leaning over and pushing the cue, with a slender stature and an aura that was rarely seen in such a high-class place.

Until the opponent sent the first ball neatly, he turned his head to look at him, smiled, and said, "Thank you, just put it there."

Obviously felt the gaze of the waiter.

Despite this, he is still calm, with slightly curved peach eyes, gentle and polite, and he doesn't blame others for looking at him at all.

The waiter was caught straight, quickly put down his things, looked away and left.

Liu Shun watched the whole process, and bumped Zhao Rong with his elbow: "Hey, third young master, it's different to go out to play with you. Those who serve tea and water pay more attention. I come with other people. These people are I can't wait to leave immediately."

Zhao Rong smiled helplessly, stepped forward, took a sip of the cup of tea, and said, "It's your turn to play, I'm done teeing off."

Liu Shun glanced at the tea in his cup: "Didn't you like to drink Longjing before? Why is it red?"

Zhao Rong used to drink Longjing a lot, and always drank Longjing when she wasn't drinking. In fact, it was because Qiao Nanqi liked to drink it.

Although he also likes to drink tea, he prefers red because Qiao Nanqi is elegant and likes to drink this kind of tea. He naturally wanted to get closer to Qiao Nanqi in everything, so he drank Longjing with Qiao Nanqi.I drank and drank, and got used to it.

Right now, he has just had his body checked and is ready to take care of him, so naturally these habits can no longer be retained.

He didn't say anything, just replied: "Change the taste, I'm tired of drinking, and want to change to something different."

Liu Shun had missed his shot in the blink of an eye, but he was not annoyed at all, and immediately stepped aside consciously, allowing Zhao Rong to hit another shot.

Everyone in the circle knows Zhao Rong is good at billiards.Before the Chen family collapsed, everyone said that the third young master of the Chen family was an idiot who was no different from them.

For this kind of thing, Zhao Rong only invited him to play together, but in fact he was looking for someone to chat with - after all, his skills were not enough in front of Zhao Rong.

Sure enough, after Zhao Rong picked up the cue, Liu Shun stood by and watched, one ball after another went into the hole one after another, nothing happened to him at all.

Qiao Da is also a good player in this area...

Liu Shun thought about the things about Zhao Rong and Qiao Nanqi that he hadn't fully digested, and became curious: "Third Young Master, your golf skills were taught by Master Qiao...?"

Zhao Rong placed the club in an orderly manner, and the putter did not stop at all.

Amid the clear sound of the balls colliding, he said, "No."

How could Qiao Nanqi teach him.

"Then what's the situation between you and the Lu family? I still find it too unbelievable when I think about it," Liu Shun is usually a worthless person, but his words are not as dark and turbulent. It can be said that he has no emotional intelligence to the extreme." During this period of time, other people have guessed everything about your family and the Qiao family, but there is no...cough. Now that you have broken up, if Qiao Da knows that your surname is Lu..."

The others around were far away, but Liu Shun felt very guilty subconsciously, and lowered his voice: "Will we be punished?"

Knowing Liu Shun's virtues, Zhao Rong was not angry, but said, "Don't make up your mind every day."

He was also worried that Qiao Nanqi would interfere with his marriage contract with Lu Xingping, or that Lu Xingping would directly tell Qiao Nanqi all his secrets, so he acted so carefully before.

In the blink of an eye, what he had to worry about at the moment changed.

"You don't have to worry about the matter between me and the senior."

He and Lu Xingping are still giving each other time to think about it.

Liu Shun asked him again: "Then the one I introduced to you that day, are you interested?"

"Looks a bit like that Lu Xingping?"

"exactly!"

"You get rid of people well," Zhao Rong said, "I don't..."

He paused.

At that moment just now, the word that was about to be blurted out was "not planning".

He didn't intend, at least at the moment, to have any intention of liking anyone else.

He closed his eyes, got up, and drank a few more cups of tea.

After playing a few hearty rounds of billiards just now, the complicated emotions brought about by Qiao Nanqi during the day finally suppressed a lot.

He took out his mobile phone, played leisurely for a while, and got the news that the investigation of the Chen family's cases had been completed.

His fingertips flicked the screen.

At this moment, he thought of many, many things.

There are many, many things related to the Chen family.

There is one more thing that happened four or five years ago that he can't forget.

When Zhao Rong became a cannon fodder in the book "Return", she was very clear about the Chen family, Qiao Nanqi, and the plot line of the original book.He is very clear about his position as cannon fodder, and he has also weighed what he can do alone. Since he returned to the Chen family at the age of 19, he has made a degenerate appearance on the surface because he has just entered a circle of luxury and money fans. look.

In the first two years, Chen Fengnian had just left. Although Mrs. Chen was seriously ill, she hadn't died yet, and the will that secretly cut up the property hadn't appeared yet.

At that time, the succession of the Chen family was pending.Although everyone tacitly agreed that it would be Chen Zehe, but as long as Mrs. Chen did not hand over everything to Chen Zehe for a day, Zhao Rong would be a threat.

At the very beginning, Chen Da and Chen Er often tested him openly and secretly.

Once Chen Da asked him: "Xiaorong University did so well before, why did it get so bad after university?"

He just smiled: "I didn't have money to spend before, and now I don't have to work hard. What else should I read?"

Only then did Chen Da feel relieved.

He likes to be quiet, and sometimes he really doesn't want to go to those noisy places one after another, but after staying at home for half a month, Chen Er will come to ask him: "What is Xiaorong doing at home recently?"

"Playing games," Zhao Rong replied, "I recently released a new game that I like very much."

"I'm also a little interested, why not play with my cousin."

Later, he bought a game account that had been used for half a month overnight, practiced it all night, and recited all the information that could be seen in that account, and finally fooled Chen Er the next day.

He has always maintained this balance very well.

Until later, for the sake of Qiao Nanqi, he couldn't hold back and went to the school library to work as a librarian.

He did it secretly, and he didn't do anything ostentatious, but he was discovered by Chen Zehe in the end.As usual, Chen Da and Chen Er found a random reason and asked him to go back to the Chen family's old house for a meal to "reminisce about the old days".

At first, Zhao Rong thought that this "reminiscence" was at most the same as the previous temptations and suppressions, and that he could just survive for one night.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the place, Chen Zehe directly let the bodyguards drag him into a room with sealed windows, and took away his mobile phone.The Chen family's old house occupies a large area, and there are no other people. He is in this kind of place, without his mobile phone, and the windows and doors are sealed. It is impossible for him to find a chance to get out.

Zhao Rong turned pale at the time: "Cousin, this is..."

Chen Zehe fiddled with his mobile phone in his hand, and said slowly: "I've been hearing elders saying that you're not doing your job properly. After all, you are the uncle's only son. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Chen family to be so useless?"

This is really a backlash - Chen Zehe is the one who obviously does not want him to be successful.

Zhao Rong forced a smile and said, "I don't have much ambition. Doesn't the Chen family have a cousin? Even if I'm worthless, my cousin won't ignore me for the rest of my life."

Chen Zehe said, "That's not acceptable. I discussed it with my second child. If you don't like reading, we will urge you to read."

At first Zhao Rong didn't understand what Chen Zehe meant.

But he was locked up in Chen's house, and the nannies and bodyguards at home were all from Chen Zehe. Without anyone to help him, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't get in touch with anyone.

On the second day when he was locked up by Chen Zehe, Chen Zehe asked someone to send him some books related to the management company. He used the excuse of urging him, and said to him: "In order to prevent you from being distracted, Leave my phone here, I will tell your friends. Xiaorong, work hard, finish reading what you need today, and then eat."

Zhao Rong immediately understood Chen Zehe's purpose.

If he read it seriously, all the previous pretense would fall short, and the consequences would be disastrous.It doesn't matter to him alone, but Zhao Ming is still in the nursing home.

But if he didn't read it, Chen Zehe would make it clear that he would starve him and use this method to force him to see if he was really a dude.

Zhao Rong naturally didn't read it.

Chen Zehe naturally followed his word and gave him nothing.

Zhao Rong has been in poor health since he was a child. In the first few days, he was really hungry. Looking at the things on the desk, for a moment, he really thought—he went to tell Chen Zehe that he knew these things, In this way, you can go out without feeling uncomfortable.

But he finally held back.

He pretended that he was facing these things every day, but he couldn't memorize them or learn them.

Chen Zehe handled his condition very well, and whenever he was about to lose his health, he would ask someone to bring him another meal.After eating, it was another round of seesaw.This person always asks the bodyguard to wake him up in the middle of the night, just saying that he shouldn't be lazy.

It's been like this for more than a month.

Chen Zehe heard him say "I really can't" over and over again, and finally said with some satisfaction: "You are really hopeless."

Only then did Zhao Rong let go.

After coming out, Zhao Rong went directly to the hospital for recuperation.

Chen Dachen's second-hand business was not clean at all, so he did these things with ease, leaving nothing behind.Zhao Rong had no chance to ask for help when she was locked up in Chen's house, and what she did after she came out was meaningless, and she might have harmed Zhao Ming, who would have no ability to protect herself without him.

He can only pretend that nothing happened.

Afterwards, although he still went to the library frequently and kept those book lists for Qiao Nanqi, he never read a book in front of others again.

And the miniature alarm that I carried with me never left my body.

Qiao Nanqi's palm was pierced by his nails.

His expression became more and more gloomy, his back molars were clenched, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly under the extreme anger, and his eye sockets were slightly red.

But he didn't attack right away.

He still saw the last line word by word.

When he saw the last word, his hand on the document suddenly locked, and the corners of the paper were wrinkled. He directly put the document in his hand and held it tightly.

Xia Yuantu watched from the side, seeing something bad, "Old Qiao, calm down..."

Qiao Nanqi took a deep breath.

But he couldn't calm down at all.

He never knew what Zhao Rong had experienced in the years before he and Zhao Rong were together.

He never knew what Chen Zehe did to Zhao Rong.

Looking back at this moment, he realized that apart from Zhao Rong's family background and the first meeting with Zhao Rong, he had no idea what Zhao Rong had experienced or what it would be like when he was not in front of him.

Even when Zhao Rong moved away, he still felt that Zhao Rong lost his temper with him because of the dirty garbage of the Chen family.

He today—he almost made Zhao Rong feel that helpless despair again today.

"Bah-"

There was a dull sound of paper tearing, and Qiao Nanqi recovered, only to realize that he had unconsciously torn the material with too much force in his hand.

He let go.

"You said I deserve it," he said to Xia Yuantu, "He said I never knew him."

"You're all right."
