Lost [Transmigration Book]

After the words fell, Zhao Rong himself was a little stunned.

It seems that Qiao Nanqi is really different from what he remembered.

Was it because he had been stuck for many years and never really understood, or was it something that happened to Qiao Nanqi in the days after he left?

Zhao Rong didn't think about it.

This is not important.

When he said those words just now, it was mainly because he was stopped by Qiao Nanqi several times in a row, and part of the reason was that he was sure that Qiao Nanqi would not be able to answer, and he might even get angry directly.

So he never thought about how he would answer Qiao Nanqi if he really agreed.

He never thought about what would happen to Qiao Nanqi if he really liked him, or even loved him.This option did not exist in the future that he had thought about, so that Zhao Rong didn't even think about the way to refuse.

He didn't deny that at that moment, before all thoughts and emotions flooded, he almost turned around.

It's just that although habits and subconsciousness have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, the scars of a fall are also vivid. Those scars float on the surface and are right in front of your eyes, even more conspicuous than the habits in your bones.Just look down and see.

He is nostalgic for the past, and his biggest problem is that he is stuck in the status quo.It was the same for chasing after Qiao Nanqi for so many years before, but now, he finally changed his life and walked in another direction steadily.

So he stopped moving.

The sound of the piano in the dinner slowly fell, accompanied by the sound of the violin at the end, and it was quiet for a moment.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Rong didn't turn around completely, but turned his head slightly to look at Qiao Nanqi.

The sense of absurdity of the question and answer was still lingering in his heart, he took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down with the falling music.

This time he didn't raise his foot immediately, but followed the words just now, and said, "I asked Liu Shun to find me a random one. I'm afraid they are more considerate and meticulous than Mr. Qiao. Why should I ask for trouble? We have already broken up. Who I want to bring home... has nothing to do with you, I hope you will stop interfering with me."

Qiao Nanqi still clenched his fists subconsciously, the veins on the back of his hands popped out, and his eyes, which were extremely sharp most of the time, were faintly red, with deep eyes.His expression became more and more serious and his face was gloomy.

"Okay," he paused, then said in a deep voice, "I won't interfere with you."

He shifted his gaze to the young man in glasses who had been afraid to speak, and said, "I'll give you whatever you want. As long as you don't go with him, I'll give you ten times as much as Zhao Rong will give you. "

"Qiao Nanqi! Are you finished?"

"You're not interested in him at all. We've been talking here for so long, and you haven't even looked at him yet."

"And then? I have to choose the one I like? You signed the marriage agreement with me, lived with me, and lived together for more than a year, didn't you choose the one you like? You can do the same thing, but I can't Do it?"

"……Different."

"What's the difference?"

Qiao Nanqi's voice stagnated.

He wanted to say something completely different, he liked Zhao Rong, but Zhao Rong never seemed to believe his liking.

Zhao Rong had already shifted his gaze and turned to look at the young man wearing glasses.

This person has heard everything here right now. Even if he and Qiao Nanqi met him on the first day, it was enough to be clearer just now.He and Qiao Nanqi are like this, no matter what, it's a waste of time, but there is no need for others to make enemies with Qiao Nanqi.

Zhao Rong didn't want this kind of thing to involve unrelated people, and said, "If you want to stay, you can stay. This Mr. Qiao will do what he says, and he will give you benefits if he says he will."

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head: "Didn't Mr. Zhao say he wanted me to go out with you?"

Zhao Rong was slightly surprised.

But since others have said that, he naturally won't say anything more.

"Go," he said.

He never looked at Qiao Nanqi directly.

This time, Qiao Nanqi didn't catch up and stop him.

Zhao Rong took the people to the parking lot, took the mobile phone from his car, and said to the young man brought by Liu Shun: "Thank you just now. But Qiao Nanqi - just stopped us, he is not a good tempered person." , in case he later..."

"Actually, when I was walking behind Mr. Zhao just now, I made a few gestures to that gentleman and told him that we are fine. Don't transfer money to me," the man was very frank, "I hope Mr. Zhao will not be angry. , I'm just an ordinary person, I can't afford to offend anyone here."

Didn't Qiao Nanqi say anything more just now?

Zhao Rong was not angry.He himself used to be a person who could only live cautiously. He knew the difficulties better than anyone else, and it was impossible for him to embarrass a powerless person.

"Then I still want to thank you," he said gently, blaming himself for the whole incident, his tone was completely different from the toughness just now, "I actually went up in one breath just now, and I couldn't get down. Without you Be a little clever, if he really competes, how can I please him."

The man heard this, and suddenly said: "How about Mr. Zhao take me home, it doesn't matter how much money you have."

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

The man smiled: "For a person like Mr. Zhao, I am willing to offer money to accompany him."

Zhao Rong showed a helpless expression.

"I'm not exaggerating like that," he said.

The man was surprised: "You are so humble."

Zhao Rong is not humble.

He is indeed not a proud man like Qiao Nanqi and Lu Xingping. When he didn't return to the Chen family, he only read some useless books. After returning to the Chen family, he didn't have the ability to compete with Chen Da and Chen Er, so he could only swallow his anger Be a piece of trash.It's the moment when you feel free.

Even if he likes someone, he pretends to be so embarrassing just now, and now he doesn't even have the courage and thought to like anyone else.

People like him...

He is such a person.

He didn't answer any more calls, but just transferred a sum of money to this person.

The other party was flattered: "This is too much..."

"More is better," Zhao Rong said, "Take the money and start a business."

Zhao Rong originally wanted to lead someone out to make some money and then go back, but now thinking that Qiao Nanqi is still inside, if he bumps into him when he goes back now, he doesn't know what will happen.

Zuo Zuo had finished the things he had to do today, so he simply called Liu Shun and drove home by himself.

A secluded corner of the dinner hall.

The waiter filled the goblets in front of Lu Xingping and Qiao Nanqi, and left silently.

Lu Xingping picked it up and took a sip. Looking at Qiao Nanqi who was thinking about something with his head slightly lowered, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I just saw you go out to chase Zhao Rong. Did you stop me?"

"I got it," Qiao Nanqi said in a low voice, "I didn't stop it."

"As expected. Except for those things in your family, you have never lowered your head since you were a child, and you can imagine what it is like."

Qiao Nanqi was speechless for a while.

He didn't tell Lu Xingping, but just now, in front of everyone except him and Zhao Rong, he bowed his head willingly and somewhat expectantly.

It's just that Zhao Rong is not unusual.

Qiao Nanqi lowered his expression and didn't show anything.

He was completely gone from the slumbering in front of Zhao Rong just now, his face was gloomy, his expression didn't fluctuate, even if he just lowered his eyes, he was still so solemn that people dare not look directly at him.

He didn't answer Lu Xingping's words, but said: "Today... he is very dazzling."

Qiao Nanqi was actually the first time seeing Zhao Rong in a low-key but formal dress.

It is also the first time I have seen Zhao Rong standing tall, holding a wine glass, talking and laughing with potential partners in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

It is as bright as the moon, and there is a faint light of the bright sun hidden behind it, and it is as precious as a faint night flower in full bloom.

If it wasn't for the Chen family and his contempt over the years, this appearance might not have been buried until now.

"I saw it when I was on stage."

Lu Xingping seemed to have thought of something, paused, and said, "It's very dazzling, it doesn't look like it's stuck in the past."

"Nan Qi, if you can't stop him today, what if... you still can't stop him in the future?"

Qiao Nanqi raised his eyes and glanced at the direction Zhao Rong left just now.

Naturally, Zhao Rong couldn't be seen in that place at the moment.But he saw the young man who followed Zhao Rong just now came back alone, passed through the crowd, and returned to Liu Shun's place.

His gloomy expression finally eased a little.

He said: "I don't stop, I chase him. As long as he doesn't fall in love with others, no matter how fast he runs, as long as I chase him faster, I will catch up one day."

Lu Xingping paused, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

He looked at Qiao Nanqi's expression for a while, accepted his words that could have made people speechless, and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe you are just unwilling now, and just got into a situation that you must get?" What makes you unable to let go is not a liking, but a rare state that is not under your control. If Zhao Rong is not so resolute, or he is still interested in your retention, and has even agreed to return to you Home……"

"Maybe you don't care now. What you can't let go of is just 'can't let go' itself."

Qiao Nanqi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he opened his mouth. Before he could speak, a voice came from far to near: "No wonder I didn't see anyone just now, so I stayed in such a remote place."

Ruan Cheng walked in slowly, stopped by the table, and smiled with great interest.

Qiao Nanqi's face moved slightly.

Knowing that the two of them might have something to talk about, Lu Xingping got up and said, "You guys talk, I'll find other friends to catch up."

After he left, Ruan Cheng sat down where Lu Xingping was originally sitting, asked the waiter for a new glass of wine, raised his glass, lightly touched the glass in front of Qiao Nanqi, and said, "Joe , I have perfectly fulfilled your entrustment, why do you show me face?"

Qiao Nanqi didn't drink at all, "You think I didn't see you approach Zhao Rong just now?"

"Aren't I curious? What kind of person is it that makes you beat around the bush and go around a few times just to give him a chance? ——But now it seems that it's really interesting."

Only then did Qiao Nanqi raise his glass and took a sip.

"However, I'm still more curious about another thing." Ruan Cheng leaned back in his chair, "When you first came to me, you made several connections, just to get me to help him without any trace. I I also asked you if you want to come tonight, but you refused at that time, saying that Zhao Rong saw it, so think about it, it’s not good.”

"I was still thinking, it's rare to see Young Master Qiao being so careful and thoughtful. But..."

Ruan Cheng's fingers moved slightly, pointing his fingertips on the edge of the table.

But before the dinner, Qiao Nanqi called him and told him not to make a direct move, but just to give Zhao Rong a chance, whether to cooperate or not depends on whether Ruan Cheng thinks it is worth it or not—this is really strange, Ruan Chengyi After listening to it at first, I thought that Qiao Nanqi's interest in Zhao Rong came and went quickly, so I changed my mind temporarily and didn't want to intervene.

"I thought you didn't want to care about your phone call today, but you came here in person tonight. Then I don't understand, Joe, do you care, or don't you?"

"Ruan Cheng, I'm looking for you because I need you, not because you're curious."

He spoke coldly, his deep voice was wrapped in sharpness, clearly there was no threat at all, but he made the listeners aware of the danger.

Ruan Cheng couldn't hold back his smile for a moment, and after a pause, he recovered his smile and shrugged: "Then do you think it's okay to do this tonight?"

Qiao Nanqi didn't answer him, but asked, "How do you feel after talking with him?"

"It's very smart, and the idea is very good. If you just give him a chance to find me to cooperate with you, then he seized this opportunity. Because after chatting with him, I found that even without you, I would cooperate with him .”

Qiao Nanqi finally showed a rare smile.

This smile is very shallow and light, just a slight curvature of the corner of the mouth, a trace of a smile when the cloud between the brows has dispersed.He hadn't even discovered it himself.

He unconsciously took a few more sips of the famous wine in the glass and said, "That's enough."

Before today, the reason why he approached Ruan Cheng, who had been in contact with him several times, was indeed to help Zhao Rong.

At first, he only asked that Zhao Rong was looking for someone in this area. Later, through several relationships, he knew that Zhao Rong seemed to be in contact with Liu Shun's parents.Liu Shun's parents were looking for someone else, but Qiao Nanqi took advantage of that opportunity to get Ruan Cheng and Liu Shun's parents on the line, and this is where they are today.

At that time, he felt that the Chen family was gone, and Zhao Rong was unwilling to accept any benefits from him. He was worried that Zhao Rong's life would not be smooth, so he naturally thought about the things he wanted to give to Zhao Rong through Ruan Cheng's hands. Secretly to Zhao Rong.

This kind of help is called help, but to put it harshly, it is actually alms and gifts.

So Qiao Nanqi didn't plan to come at first.He dared not let Zhao Rong know.

just today...

He suddenly discovered that the Zhao Rong in his impression who needs help in everything and is known by others as an unlearned and incompetent dude is just an illusion created for self-protection these years.

When this layer of expression was taken off, what he saw was a brilliance that could not be covered by ten years of hard work.

What Zhao Rong like this lacks is not charity and help.

All that was missing was a guiding light.

Zhao Rong said that he does not know how to love.

Said he never really looked down, never knew what respect was.

But he can learn.
