The moment she met Li Wan's eyes, Jian Qiao's heart skipped a beat and her body tensed unconsciously. Then she turned her face away in a panic, clenched her fists and looked away.

Chi Yu walked with Jian Qiao's slender waist in his arms, and the two of them were very close, so she could clearly feel the man's sudden stiff limbs and increasingly rapid and disordered breathing...

"She didn't look at this side anymore." Chi Yu tilted his head and whispered in Jian Qiao's ear.

Jian Qiao was obviously relieved, and her mechanical facial expression gradually returned to normal...

After Chi's mother exchanged greetings with the host's family, Chi Yu dragged Jian Qiao to the dessert area, Li Wan had already left the main hall at this time.

On the way here, Jian Qiao felt hungry, but now she has no appetite. She lowered her head and poked the food on the green plate with a fork, looking a little absent-minded.

Because she was hiding something in her heart, Jian Qiao didn't even notice Leng Jinyan approaching until she heard him talking to Chi Yu.

Jian Qiao paused, looked sideways, and glanced at Leng Jinyan in surprise.

Leng Jinyan also looked over, with a bit of hidden hostility in her eyes.

Jian Qiao trembled her eyelashes, and immediately handed over the blue plate in her hand to the waiter who happened to pass by, and whispered to Chi Yu, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Chi Yu asked intimately.

Jian Qiao looked down, and she noticed that as soon as Chi Yu finished speaking, Leng Jinyan grabbed the man's arm.

It seems that she really wasn't thinking too much, Jian Qiao smiled in the bottom of her heart, and then waved her hand to reject Chi Yu's kindness...

After coming out of the bathroom, Jian Qiao didn't go back to the banquet hall, she walked aimlessly in the inner courtyard of the villa.

The night wind messed with her newly made curly hair, Jian Qiao stretched out her hand to smooth it out, and finally sat down on a bench by the lake.

After an unknown amount of time, Jian Qiao heard footsteps coming from behind her. She subconsciously turned her head to look—it was Li Wan, who was holding a cigarette between her fingers, and her sharp heels were stomping on the bluestone slabs. The front is like frost, walking towards here.

Jian Qiao got up unconsciously, with a tense expression, and swallowed her saliva helplessly.

Li Wan approached and sneered twice, the disgust in her eyes hadn't diminished in the slightest compared to that day.

The anticipation that had tentacles faintly protruding from her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, Jian Qiao only felt the coldness spread all over her body, the biting coldness penetrated the skin and penetrated into the blood, making her nerves numb.

Li Wan lowered her eyebrows, and her tone was full of sarcasm: "Should I call you Jian Qiao or Mu Shishi now?"

Jian Qiao closed her eyes in pain, lowered her head, not daring to look at her, the stagnant air circulated between the two of them.

"It's disgusting! Nausea!" Li Wan couldn't understand Jian Qiao's pretentious appearance and pretended innocence the most. She stepped forward angrily, full of hatred, and pushed Jian Qiao hard.

Jian Qiao couldn't react in time, staggered twice and lost her balance, and finally fell down in embarrassment, rolling into the lake.

Out of the instinct to survive, Jian Qiao kept struggling and splashing in the water, but fortunately, she was safe and escaped. After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, she rescued herself.

During the whole process, Li Wan folded her arms condescendingly, looking at her ruthlessly and indifferently.

Jian Qiao climbed ashore with difficulty, her shoulders were trembling, her whole body was soaked, her hair was dripping with water, and because of wearing high heels, her left foot was accidentally sprained just now...

A gleam of joy flashed in Li Wan's eyes.

Some inspectors heard the movement and wanted to come over to check, but before they approached, they were repelled by Li Wan with a cold face.

Jian Qiao kicked off her high heels, covered her chest with one hand, and rubbed her sprained ankle with the other, trying to stand up.

Li Wan pushed her down again maliciously.

Jian Qiao gasped in pain, her face wrinkled into a ball, and her eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

Li Wan turned her eyes away and didn't look at her.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen Jian Qiao, and this person's mobile phone is in Chi's mother's bag, and I can't get in touch. Chi Yu was anxious and searched all the way here.

"You leave now." Jian Qiao heard Chi Yu calling her name not far away, and she was afraid that the two would have a dispute when they met.

Li Wan raised her eyebrows, twitched the corners of her mouth in disdain, and ignored it.

Jian Qiao was in a hurry, she knew that Chi Yu was not the kind of soft-tempered person, and when she saw that she was injured, she would definitely attack Li Wan... Maybe the two of them would fight again.

"I beg you, please?" Jian Qiao's eyes welled up with tears.

Hearing this, Li Wan glared at Jian Qiao fiercely, and raised her volume: "Where did you come from to beg me!?"

Chi Yu followed this sentence and found it.

In desperation, Jian Qiao didn't care about the pain of the wound, she gritted her teeth and stood up, catching the emotional Chi Yu.

"What are you stopping me for!" Chi Yu was so angry that he was about to smoke, "She made you like this! You still have to protect her!"

"I owe her," Jian Qiao tightened her grip on Chi Yu's waist, "Today is a settlement..."

Chi Yu was very annoyed, but she couldn't break free, she could only watch Li Wan leave, but she couldn't get angry anymore, so she cursed: "You arrogant, bad woman is so disrespectful! Qiao Qiao is really blind to fall in love with you!"

Li Wan paused, turned around and turned back, Jian Qiao's eyebrows twitched, she limped quickly, and hugged Li Wan in the opposite direction.

Li Wan felt so overwhelmed that she raised her hand and slapped Jian Qiao without even thinking about it: "Go away! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"

Jian Qiao immediately let go, like a frightened little animal, retreating subconsciously, her body shaking uncontrollably.Chi Yu was extremely angry, but when she met Jian Qiao's dim and embarrassed eyes, she felt very distressed.

Chi Yu walked over, her eyes were red, and she hugged the wet Jian Qiao. She lightly rubbed her forehead against the harsh slap marks on the man's face, and said softly: "Fool, she really doesn't deserve your liking."

Jian Qiao wept, her voice was extremely low: "Chi Yu, I want to leave."

"it is good."

Chi Yu supported Jian Qiao, and carefully brought her to a stone bench: "Sit here and wait for me. I'll go find clothes and shoes, and we'll go home later."

"Ah."

A week later, despite Chi Yu's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, Jian Qiao returned to Jiyang alone.

Both grandma and Jian Yu noticed that something was wrong with her. This person was more silent than before, and he locked himself in the room all day, unwilling to go out or communicate with others.

At about 09:30 that night, Jian Yu came over and gave Jian Qiao a bowl of chicken noodle.

"Grandma said that you eat less at night, because she is afraid that you will be hungry. This is the supper that her old man asked me to cook for you."

Jian Qiao looked away from the computer screen: "You take it back, I don't have much appetite, I can't eat."

Jian Yu had no choice but to pick up noodles with chopsticks, wanting to feed her: "Eat as much as you want, grandma is very worried about you these days."

"I'll do it myself." Jian Qiao took the bowl and chopsticks, barely took a few mouthfuls, and placed it on the table at hand.

"Sister..." Jian Yu hesitated to speak.

"I want to stay by myself."

Jian Yu sighed, got up and left.

In late June, the weather gradually became hotter. When standing by the window during the day, Jian Qiao would occasionally hear cicadas chirping. over here.

It was at this time of year that Jian Qiao reunited with Winter Cub by the pond on a sleepless night.

At first, she thought she was dazzled, but she didn't confirm it was true until the cat ran over happily, rubbed her calf affectionately, meowing non-stop.

Jian Qiao was overjoyed as she picked it up, but she couldn't believe it: "How did you find this place?"

Winter Cub didn't bother to answer Jian Qiao's question, and just kept kissing her cheek, with his two front paws tightly hugging her neck.

Jian Qiao smiled all over her face.

"Meow, meow." Dong Cub put his nose against hers.

After the warmth, Jian Qiao couldn't help but start to blame it: "Why did you sneak away at the beginning? Do you know how sad I was at that time!"

Dong Cub stretched out his meat pad, caressing her chin, silently comforting her.

Jian Qiao's heart softened, and she picked it up and looked left and right, muttering in her mouth: "How are you doing outside? Have you been bullied by others?"

Winter Cub shook his head.

Jian Qiao was relieved and took it back to her room.

The next afternoon, a woman in her 30s approached the door.

Grandma went to a neighbor's house, Jian Yu was at work, and there were only Jian Qiao and Dong Zai at home.

Dongzai seemed to be very familiar with her, as soon as he saw her, he ran over wagging his tail and muttering meows.

"This is my cat." The woman squinted at Jian Qiao casually, with a frivolous smile on her lips.

Jian Qiao stood ten meters away from the woman in a daze, her head was buzzing, and she felt a dull pain in her chest.

The woman approached slowly with graceful steps, exhaled smoke at Jian Qiao, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Guess who I am?"

Her temples twitched violently for no reason. Jian Qiao pursed her lips, and finally shook her head. She only felt that this person looked a bit like herself, but she didn't know the reason, and she couldn't guess it. After all, this was their first meeting. meet once...

"I'm your own mother." The woman was calm and calm, as if she was chatting when she said this, without any seriousness about the person involved.

Jian Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth opened wide, obviously extremely surprised.

"It was actually an accident," the woman threw away her cigarette, stepped on her foot hard, and said angrily, "I only slept with your mother once, and I didn't even know she was pregnant..."

The woman glanced at Jian Qiao's astonished expression, then shrugged indifferently: "I'll only tell you this once, if you don't believe me, forget it, and treat me as nonsense."

Jian Qiao was horrified, her lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound...

"?" The woman was puzzled, and then grabbed Dong Zai's ear angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that she is dumb?"

Dong Cub wailed in pain, but did not forget to shake his head in denial.

The woman lost her patience and was unwilling to delve into it: "Within three months, if you need my help with something urgent, you can contact me." She handed a black square box to Jian Qiao.

Xu Shi hadn't recovered from the shock, but Jian Qiao still looked at her in astonishment.

"Remember to press it three times. If the button inside turns from green to red, it means that I have received your request for help." The woman forced the box to Jane Qiao, turned around and walked to the door, she turned her head suddenly again, It seems to be explaining, "This cat is left to you, it can be regarded as...compensation."

"I'm 27 this year..." Jian Qiao squeezed her palm hard, and said the question in her heart, "You look only a few years older than me..."

The woman was funny, and lightly dropped a sentence: "According to the calculation methods of you people on earth, I am now over 100 years old."

Surprised, Jian Qiao accidentally bit her lip, and blood flowed down her neck into the neckline. Dong Zai was so frightened that she immediately panicked, but the woman didn't respond and left straight away.

For the next two days, at night, Jian Qiao had constant nightmares, sweating profusely, twitching and talking nonsense, and the winter cub sleeping next to her screamed anxiously.

Every time she woke up from the nightmare, Jian Qiao would stare at Dong Cub seriously and ask, "Is that woman really my mother?"

"Meow meow."

Jian Qiao squeezed the corner of the quilt, and then slowly let go, her voice hoarse: "In three months, will she leave this world?"

Dong Cub patted the back of Jian Qiao's hand with his paw, and gave an affirmative answer.

"Are you sure...not to go back with her?"

Winter Cub nodded solemnly.

Jian Qiao smiled in relief, and gently rubbed Dong Zai's head: "Fortunately, you are with me."

Dong Zai put his chin against Jian Qiao's palm, acted like a baby at her, and at the same time softly rubbed against her waist...
