Wear it until the scum A tortures the heroine

Although she seemed to dislike the little red string of the lucky cat pendant, Song Jiao insisted on wearing it.

It seemed to have become Boss Song's new favorite, and he kept it with him every day, so Xu Jinchao couldn't help asking.

"You like it so much?"

Song Jiao said, "I think it's quite effective. I've been lucky recently."

Xu Jinzhao didn't think that Song Jiao was a person who believed in metaphysics, but after this questioning, Song Jiao began to frequently mention the relationship between her good luck and the red rope.

Due to the delay of many things during the three days of hospitalization, the physical examination originally scheduled for next Thursday was postponed.

It was half a month before the two came to Hwaseong Hospital again.

But the result of the inspection was quite good. Song Jiao shook the inspection report and attributed it to the good luck brought by the lucky cat's red string.

"You should have bought me this, maybe I wouldn't have had a concussion then."

Xu Jinzhao felt it was unbelievable, she looked at the calm Song Jiao: "Are you bewitched?"

Song Jiao gave her a contemptuous look.

Things like this happened frequently, Song Jiao wished she could attribute the extra sweet grapes she ate one day to the red string, Xu Jinzhao couldn't figure it out.

Finally she couldn't bear to knock on Yulan.

[How is Song Jiao doing at the company recently? Is there anything unusual? ]

Yu Lan: [Everything is normal, the world is peaceful. ]

Xu Jinzhao: [Did she mention her accessories in particular, I mean, the red string on her wrist. ]

Yu Lan: [Ah, there is a red string on her wrist? ]

Xu Jinzhao was speechless at first, but then he was right when he thought about it. As for Yu Lan's irreversible social conflicts, she would never leave the office for non-important meetings or matters that required her to appear on her own. How could she pay attention to Song Jiao's changes.

She does have Xiao Ning's phone number. This is the first friend record employee who came from Juzhou. Now she is the supervisor, but it's not easy to bother people with silly questions.

After Xu Jinzhao watered the flowers absent-mindedly, but was stopped by her aunt and asked the reason for her distraction, she told her aunt the truth and asked if Song Jiao had mentioned it to her.

"That's not true," Aunt Li inadvertently explained the mystery, "But it seems that you haven't bought anything for Xiao Song for a long time. Is it not surprising that she cherishes it as a gift?"

Xu Jinzhao suddenly realized, and instantly understood the hint of Song Jiao's nine twists and eighteen turns.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that if Song Xiaomao really didn't change his true nature, she would insist on scaring her if she was unhappy.

Xu Jinzhao went to the flower shop to order flowers the next day, and sent them to friends. After get off work, he went to the dessert shop to buy a box of Portuguese egg tarts for a sweet tooth lover.

Mr. Song received the flowers sent by his wife to the company, and felt that he was showing off. He was very satisfied with her way, and he really didn't pretend to be a ghost and repeatedly raised the red rope.

Xu Jinzhao's lunar birthday is on the second day of August.

The date is approaching, and Song Jiao is also thinking about how to celebrate her while working.

Xu Jinzhao, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his head in a hurry, and was indifferent to Song Jiao's intentional mention of the near-August incident.

"Oh, time flies, it's been a month since Wanwutong moved."

Finding that Alpha had completely forgotten her birthday, Song Jiao began to conceive surprises to celebrate.

She racked her brains to come up with several plans, but they all felt inappropriate. To give a gift, of course, it would be best if the recipient liked it.

Song Jiao finally made a reluctant decision, which was contrary to her own preferences, but it would definitely make Xu Jinzhao happy.

But before August comes, Song Jiao has to go back to Juzhou to meet her father in prison.

She didn't mention to Song Yikang that she founded the friend record company. Song Jiao knew very well how sick her father's mental state was.

Except for his concern for her, he is full of hatred, and this distorted state is reflected in the communication every time he visits the prison.

Even though Song Jiao tried her best to avoid topics related to the Xu family, Song Yikang always took the initiative to ask, confirm Song Jiao's safety, and give advice.

Song Jiao didn't want to waste the rare meeting time on these meaningless topics, but she knew that if she avoided talking about it, it would irritate her father and make him fall into panic and paranoia.

Song Jiao could only say over and over that she was fine and was dealing with [Xu Jinzhao].

She didn't even say that she was in Hwaseong now, nor did she say that she had dropped out of school, and she made up some daily stories about studying at Changnan University to tell him.

Song Yikang's sentence totaled five years and six months, and he has now served more than four years without a day's reduction in his sentence.

The person he offended was Xu Boyang. Song Jiao knew Xu Boyang's business in Juzhou, and it was lucky that his father was able to save his life in Dongcheng Prison. There was no chance of a commutation of sentence.

Song Jiao's guess was indeed correct. In the world without Xu Jinzhao, her father died before he was released from prison.

That was the knife that cut off all her emotional concerns.

Song Jiao arranged things in advance and planned to fly to Juzhou on July [-] to see Song Yikang.

It was also a coincidence, after Xu Jinzhao heard her talk, he asked, "Which flight do you want to book?"

Song Jiao's prison visit only had a big impact on Xu Jinzhao for the first time.

At that time, she had just reconciled with Song Jiao, and Omega brought it up with an extremely humble and cautious attitude, which made Xu Jinzhao, who couldn't adapt to [Xu Jinzhao's] identity and had been desperately deceiving himself, fall into an emotional struggle.

But the relationship between the two quickly drew closer, and Xu Jinzhao no longer lacked a sense of security and stability, found a new direction in life, and was able to face the things [Xu Jinzhao] was implicated in the past relatively calmly.

Song Jiao said the time she had calculated, and was a little surprised why she suddenly asked this.

Xu Jinchao said: "I also have to go to Juzhou, let's go together."

Xu Jinzhao received a call from Xu Boyang.

In the half a year since she left Juzhou, she didn't meet Xu Boyang many times, and even refused to go back during the Chinese New Year, and spent the New Year with Song Jiao in Hwaseong.

She was really disgusted by Yuanshen's father's way of doing things. Now that she had finally left Changnan Province, she actually didn't want to contact him at all.

But Xu Jinzhao also has concerns, and her concerns are the same as those of Song Jiao in the past, that is Song Yikang.

She has never met the other party, only in the past memories of [Xu Jinzhao].

But Xu Jinzhao cares about Song Jiao, and he is also grateful for the father's compassionate heart.

Would Song Yikang not know that his actions violated the law?Do you know the risks involved?Don't know what will happen to me?

The reason why he still took the risk was not because of stupidity, but because of despair.

His wife is gone, his family is broken, and only one daughter is left to accompany him, but Xu Boyang interferes with his daughter's marriage autonomy by relying on his power.

Song Yikang was forced to a dead end, and there was no way to retreat, so he fought madly for his future and his life to resist.

In the memory of [Xu Jinzhao], she once asked Xu Boyang: "What if Song Yikang resigns and takes Song Jiao away?"

Xu Boyang smiled and told his daughter, "They can't go anywhere."

From the perspective of [Xu Jinzhao], what the original body felt was the pride of winning, and the happiness of occupying others by relying on power.

But Xu Jinzhao only felt terribly scary, what they were discussing was not a certain item, or their own pet, but two real people.

When Xu Boyang assured [Xu Jinzhao] that the person she wanted would never leave Juzhou, [Xu Jinzhao] smiled.

Such a relaxed and comfortable gesture seemed to be discussing two slaves, big and small, who might escape.

But they were clearly in a modern environment, the central air conditioner was blowing cold air outside, the reinforced concrete urban forest was outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and countless cars were slowly passing by on the road.

This anachronistic vision is eerie.

Xu Jinzhao can understand Song Yikang's way of struggling with weak cards in a desperate situation, and he can better understand why he never wants his daughter to marry into this kind of family.

Even though she hated Xu Boyang extremely, she still had to maintain a superficially good relationship with him and not tear her face apart. After all, Song Yikang was still in the hands of the other party.

This is Song Jiao's relative, and a father who may not be able to protect his daughter, but is still worthy of respect.

Xu Boyang had a calm tone in the phone call a day ago, asking her about her progress, and mentioned that she had been away and should go home to have a look.

Xu Jinzhao heard the other party's dissatisfaction, and she planned to go to Juzhou to deal with the old guy, and it happened that Song Jiao was going back to visit the prison, so she thought it would be better to book the same flight with Song Jiao.

She said to Song Jiao, "I have to go back to the old house."

Xu Jinzhao still doesn't want to call Xu Boyang his father, and mentions it vaguely every time.

Song Jiao was quick-witted, so she naturally understood the other party's resistance, and always pretended not to notice Xu Jinzhao's lack of respect for Xu Boyang and avoided mentioning it.

She also felt that the reason why Xu Jinzhao still kept in touch with Xu Boyang might be because of Song Yikang's safety.

If it was Song Jiao in the past, who was suffering from lack of cognition, she would never have thought about this emotional factor of loving the house.

But of course she understands now, and she doesn't want to let Xu Jinzhao bear these burdens alone: ​​"I'm with you."

Xu Jinzhao was a little surprised, while Song Jiao said:

"Uncle Xu has always wanted you to take over the Xu family's property. He must not be very happy now that you set up your own family. I will accompany you back, so I can make a difference."

This is of course a euphemism. Song Jiao's actual idea is that she and Xu Jinzhao go back to Xu's house together, which can slightly numb Xu Boyang, so that Xu Jinzhao doesn't have to be too low-key to please him.

Xu Jinzhao asked, "Is it convenient for you?"

Song Jiao winked at her: "I brought it up on my own initiative, of course it's for convenience."

Xu Jinzhao laughed: "That's good."

It was close to noon when the two arrived in Juzhou, because they told Xu Boyang the flight number in advance, when they got off the plane, they saw the driver of Xu's family waiting with a pick-up sign.

Since Xu Jinzhao left Juzhou, he hadn't experienced the daily life of such a noble young lady, and he was still a little unaccustomed to sitting in the back seat of a luxury car with Song Jiao, but he didn't show it on the surface.

The driver said to her: "Miss, sir is waiting for you."

He wanted to show Xu Jinzhao's respect from her father and win Xu Jinzhao's favor, so he specifically mentioned one more sentence.

Xu Jinzhao didn't care about Xu Boyang's attitude. She pretended to raise the corners of her mouth and asked him, "How is your family doing?"

This is not a random question, Xu Jinzhao is aware of Xu Boyang's desire to control, he must have told the driver to report his words and deeds.

She made this attitude of being interested in the Xu family's concern, because she wanted to show Xu Boyang.

The driver was very well-informed, so he immediately told Xu Jinzhao, and then he talked about Xu's company.

He also mentioned Xu Yanhe: "Young master Xu has caused some unseemly things, which made my husband unhappy."

Xu Jinzhao wasn't sure whether the driver said this casually on the spot, or Xu Boyang's instruction, so she asked.

"What about his wife and children in his hometown? I know that."

Xu Jinzhao speculated based on Xu Boyang's behavior and habits, while Song Jiao watched the driver's expression and behavior calmly, and found that the other party had been observing Xu Jinzhao and her through the rearview mirror.

The driver said: "That happened half a year ago. Young Master Xu had a fight with Qin Shaoqian a while ago, which made many people laugh."

When Qin Lingyue was still there, members of the Xu family would not call Qin Shaoqian by his name directly.

Now it seems that he has completely lost power, he has been beaten by thousands of people, and he has no superficial respect.

Xu Jinzhao chuckled, "Qin Shaoqian, it's embarrassing enough."

She didn't mention Xu Yanhe, but such ambiguous ridicule can be understood as mocking Qin Shaoqian, or ridiculing Xu Yanhe who was arguing and fighting with such a person.

"How did they fight?" she asked.

The driver said: "Actually, the previous incident was not finished. Qin Shaoqian went to the company to find Master Xu again, blocked people at the door, and fought violently without saying a few words. The two fought for a long time, and the corners of Master Xu's mouth were cracked." , Qin Shaoqian is not much better, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen."

"The security didn't stop him?"

The driver said, "I don't know about that."

Xu Jinzhao thought, it seemed that Xu Yanhe was completely disliked by Xu Boyang, and the driver who came to pick her up could talk about his ugly behavior vividly.

She also remembered that when Qin Lingyue provoked Xu and Qin before, she mentioned that Xu Boyang recognized Xu Yanhe as his adopted son in order to ward off the fierceness of fate, and she felt even more ironic in her heart.

In [Xu Jinzhao]'s memory, Xu Yanhe is closer to Xu Boyang than to his own parents. When they meet each other, they have a godfather.

After knowing these inside facts, and recalling Xu Boyang's attitude towards the two, Xu Jinzhao realized that the old Alpha was using Xu Yanhe to provoke [Xu Jinzhao's] sense of crisis.

He deliberately showed that he valued Xu Yanhe, but he refused to say directly that he recognized the purpose of this marriage, so that [Xu Jinchao] would be jealous of his brother and please his father.

Xu Boyang enjoys being flattered by the two juniors, and the two are vigilant and hostile to each other because of themselves, and enjoy this.

But judging from Xu Boyang's core style, it is impossible for him to regard Xu Yanhe as his heir. He has a strong concept of blood, and the property in his hand will only be given to Alpha descendants with his own genes.

Xu Jinzhao also suspects that when [Xu Jinzhao] was not yet differentiated, Xu Boyang raised Xu Yanhe, in case his daughter differentiated into an Omega, he could be a candidate for a son-in-law.

Xu Boyang's contempt for Omega was deeply rooted.

If [Xu Jinzhao] differentiated into an O, or was not differentiated, just a female Beta, the old guy would probably give up the cultivation of [Xu Jinzhao] immediately and let her go to give birth to the next generation.

When Xu Jinzhao first realized this, he was really disgusted.

The root of all the tragedies in "Jiao Jiao" can be said to come from Xu Boyang and his Alpha chauvinism.

But she and Song Jiao had to maintain their relationship with Xu Boyang at the moment, and there was no other way for the time being.

Arriving at Xu's Manor, Xu Boyang was already waiting in the west hall. Seeing Song Jiao coming with him, his complexion really eased a lot.

Although forced by reality, Xu Jinzhao had to show respect in front of him, this meal was as tasteless as every time before.

Song Jiao was very peaceful, and it was her survival instinct to act in front of others. While listening to Xu Boyang's questions and answers, she enjoyed the cooking skills of the old house cook.

Aunt Li is good at Chinese food, but the Xu family's westernized food is also unique.

Xu Boyang held a prejudice against the direction of the Internet started by the two people, and believed that it was not stable, and these attitudes were also revealed in his words.

Both Song Jiao and Xu Jinzhao were happy that he didn't like it. The less optimistic they were, the less likely he would interfere to disrupt the situation.

After lunch, Xu Boyang's interest in the conversation continued, but Song Jiao wanted to leave.

She said: "Today is the meeting day in Dongcheng Prison, and I want to visit my dad when I go back to Juzhou."

Xu Boyang was a little displeased at first, but after hearing the words, he changed his expression and became gentle: "This is human nature, and it is right to honor your parents."

He also turned to Xu Jinzhao: "Jinzhao, you can go with Song Jiao, you don't have to stay at home."

Xu Jinzhao didn't expect that he would let him go easily, but then he thought of Xu Boyang's intention.

Xu Boyang knew that Song Yikang was the shadow between his daughter and Song Jiao, but he still asked her to visit the prison together, making it clear that he deliberately poked Song Jiao's sore spots to prevent the two of them from going smoothly.

This old man is really dark and perverted, he can't see his daughter having a normal marriage relationship, so he insists on provoking it.

She felt depressed, even though she knew that Song Jiao wouldn't mind anything, she still felt faintly sick.

Walking out of the main house, Xu Jinzhao refused the driver who wanted to take them to Dongcheng: "I will drive myself."

[Xu Jinzhao] had more than a dozen cars left in the old house, and she just drove Song Jiao away in one.

Song Jiao saw her depression, drove out of the old house, and said softly, "Don't be angry."

Xu Jinzhao knew that she might have been too obvious, so she suppressed these emotions, tilted her head and smiled at Song Jiao.

Song Jiao should be the one to be comforted. Her father is still in prison, so she shouldn't be the one to persuade herself.

Xu Jinzhao said: "Wait a while and see your father by yourself, I'll wait for you outside."

My current status is not suitable to see Song Yikang. She is the perpetrator in the eyes of that poor father, and going there will only irritate him.

Xu Jinzhao asked as casually as possible: "Do you need to buy something?"

Seeing that she didn't want to continue the conversation, Song Jiao replied, "I've delivered a lot of summer supplies in the past month. This time, I'll just remit some living expenses to the account. If there is a bookstore on the way, stop by. I'll go buy a few books." Book."

Song Yikang has the habit of reading. Every time Song Jiao visits the prison, he will buy some books and periodicals. After being reviewed by the prison, they will be handed over to him, so that his father can read books to relieve his depression.

Arriving at Dongcheng Prison, Song Jiao was already familiar with the place, and both of them took out their certificates to register.

After applying for a visit permit, the prison guard took Song Jiao to visit, and Xu Jinzhao stayed in the reception room to wait for her.

It's been a long wait.

Judging from the time flow, it was actually an hour, but Xu Jinzhao was not in a good mood, and she couldn't sit silently while playing with her mobile phone when Song Jiao met her father in prison.

Xu Jinzhao couldn't help but think about what Song Jiao was talking about with his father, what topics were they talking about, was he reluctant to hang up the phone when they met relatives?

… She misses her parents too.

Xu Jinzhao hasn't seen them for a long time. In the past, no matter how many times my parents traveled around the world, they could always get along for a while in a year.

But since the last time they left home, plus the half a year they've been here, Xu Jinzhao hasn't seen his parents for two years.

She always suppresses herself on weekdays, keeps herself from thinking, and fills her thoughts with work and life, but today it is difficult to control herself.

These longings around relatives lasted for a long time, Xu Jinzhao felt that it was as long as a century...

Almost drowned her in it.

Until someone patted his shoulder, Xu Jinzhao looked up.

Song Jiao said softly to her, "Okay, it's over, let's go."

Xu Jinzhao took a deep breath and held out his hand to Song Jiao.

She was sitting on the bench in the reception room, and a small Omega was standing in front of her.

Song Jiao held her outstretched hand without hesitation, and pulled Xu Jinzhao up. Of course, this was not a unilateral pull, as she did not have such great strength.

Xu Jinzhao just suddenly needed someone to help him.

When that cold little hand grabbed her, Xu Jinzhao absorbed what she wanted, and she took advantage of that to stand up.

She whispered, "Thank you."

After returning to Hwaseong from Juzhou, Xu Jin devoted herself to work again. She had to try her best to get back to her state and not indulge her emotions.

She is responsible for the future of so many people in Wanwutong, which is also the result of her own choice. Now that she has taken up the responsibility, she must continue to walk firmly. This is the principle of Xu Jinzhao's life.

On the second day of August, everything seemed to be the same as yesterday.

Because he didn't pay attention to the lunar calendar every day, Xu Jinzhao didn't notice that it was his birthday all day.

Going to the Xinhu Plaza Building as usual, after a busy day, she received a call from Song Jiao.

"Xu Jinzhao, Aunt Li has something to do today. Go to the supermarket and buy something. I'll send you the shopping list by text message."

Xu Jinzhao didn't think much about it. Hwaseong University had already started school for several days. She only thought that Aunt Li was going there to deliver something to her son, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

Song Jiao sent a long shopping list, Xu Jinzhao went to a nearby shopping mall, pushed the shopping cart, and walked around the store for more than half an hour before buying everything.

After paying the bill, I rushed back to Dangang, and arrived home an hour later than usual.

Song Jiao was actually waiting in the parking lot of the underground garage, helping Xu Jinzhao carry shopping bags.

Xu Jinzhao joked: "What's the matter, the sun comes out from the west, so you are so courteous today?"

Song Jiao plausibly said: "There are too many things to buy, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry them, I'm such a caring person."

Xu Jinzhao: "I still want to ask, why do you want me to buy so many kinds of drinks and snacks?"

Song Jiao: "Eat."

Xu Jinzhao: "...you don't plan to go to the supermarket in the second half of the year, do you?"

The two talked all the way, and took the elevator to the door of the house.

Xu Jinzhao put down the snack bag in his hand and took the key to open the door. The moment the door was opened, the originally dark room was lit up, and the ribbon exploded, falling all over her body.

Jiang Chao shouted: "Happy Birthday!"

This bad boy was the one who untied the ribbon, and the others followed suit: "Happy birthday, Xu Jinzhao!"

Xu Jinzhao was stunned, and a small hand pushed her gently behind her back, and everyone rushed up to bring the fool into the house.

The founders of Wanwutong headed by Jiang Chao and Qin Lingyue, as well as Yu Lan, Xiao Ning and other friends who once lived together in Building D4 of Chunyue Community, are now gathered together.

Noisy No. 30 people crowded together, even Yu Lan didn't have a cold face, and she wore her penetrating wicked smile the whole time.

Aunt Li set up two large tables of meals. The dining table was moved to the living room and placed near the coffee table, and the small table for chess games was also opened to serve delicacies.

Song Jiao asked Xu Jinzhao: "I invited all my friends, are you happy?"

Xu Jinzhao could only nod his head, but was speechless.

In the center of the coffee table was a big three-layer cake, which was much larger than the 6-inch cake that Xu Jinzhao bought for Song Jiao back then, enough for these guys to make.

There were no specific age candles inserted on the cake, but three ordinary birthday candles. Qin Lingyue explained:

"Song Jiao said that you are three years old this year, no matter how much you have, only three can be inserted."

Immediately, whistles and laughter flew together in the room, and everyone laughed at the three-year-old Mr. Xu unscrupulously.

Song Jiao urged: "Light the candle quickly and let her blow it out to make a wish, I'm so hungry."

Jiang Chao felt the same way, and immediately stepped forward to light the candles.

The headlights in the living room were turned off, only the small lights around the ceiling were on, and the dancing candlelight on the cake became the brightest light source in the room.

Amidst the out-of-tune birthday songs of the people around him, Xu Jinzhao was surrounded and sat on the sofa.

Song Jiao on the opposite side of the candlelight was smiling, her pretty face was so gentle, she clapped her hands and directed and sang for herself.

Xu Jinzhao's heart was filled with emotion and satisfaction, she blew out the candle, closed her eyes and made a wish——

Let my Jiaojiao be healthy and happy forever.
