    Chapter 5 Happy to be called a fool

    Qiao Zhen Zhen was thinking even in her dreams, why did Chi Shen stare at her hand and give her a good impression of 20 o'clock, because she thought too seriously, she woke up the next day before the alarm clock went off.

    She didn't stay in bed, she simply washed and went downstairs. When she was about to reach the living room on the first floor, she heard the voice of the driver complaining. She snorted and continued to go downstairs. The driver immediately shut up when he saw her, and looked at the sofa for help. A middle-aged man in formal clothes, her biological father Qiao Jian.

    Qiao Jian frowned, not very happy after seeing her: "Come here."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen walked over with a light expression.

    "I heard that you want to change the driver?" Qiao Jian's tone was not very good, "Xiao Wu has always been serious in his work. In the past two years, it has always been rain or shine. There is no credit or hard work. If you can't give a reason, just refuse him to pick him up."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him quietly, her fingertips tightly clenched her palm. In the last life, after Qiao Jian divorced, she left Qiao's house with her mother, and there was no contact for several years after that. It was ten years later that they met in the hospital. When they met, Qiao Jian accompanied Zhao Lianqiao and her mother, Zhao Qin. The family of three was dazzlingly close, but her biological daughter was like an outsider.

    Goodbye today, Qiao Zhen Zhen was just like the chance encounter, while she had no emotion in her heart, she also felt a little disgust.

    "Speak, are you dumb?" Qiao Jian frowned. He has been busy with his career and rarely asks about everything about her. When he thinks of having such a daughter, the relationship between the two has become as light as strangers. .

    Although it is his own life, it is not as good as Lian Qiao that the girl knows the cold and the hot, making him feel more like a father.

    "Yeah, miss, you talk," the driver quickly echoed, "If it's really what I'm doing wrong, I don't need you to speak, I'll take the initiative to resign."

    He was very confident when he said this, and there was a hint of smug pride, obviously he didn't think Qiao Zhen Zhen could get hold of him.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him coldly, as if she was watching a clown jumping on a beam.

    "Okay, I know why you're angry, isn't it because he mentioned Zhao Lianqiao a few more words yesterday," Qiao Jian said in a deep voice, "You two sisters are quarreling, what are you doing to involve Xiao Wu? Childish!"

    ...two sisters, who are two sisters with her. A trace of irony flashed in Qiao Zhen Zhen's eyes, and she asked the driver directly: "Yesterday I asked you to bring milk tea to my mother, did you bring it?"

    "Bring it! Madam knows!" The driver replied hurriedly.

    "But it's cold." Qiao Zhen Zhen raised her eyes.

    The driver was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant.

    "It only takes ten minutes to get home from school, and there are no traffic jams on the road. The milk tea should not be cold when you bring it back, unless you didn't come back immediately after buying the milk tea, but went somewhere else." Qiao Zhenzhen looked to him.

    A trace of unnaturalness flashed on the driver's face: "I, I went to the gas station..."

    "There is surveillance at the entrance of the school, do you need me to call it out now?" Qiao Zhen Zhen's voice was cold, "Let's see if you went to the gas station or went back to pick up someone again."

    The driver was stunned for a while, looked at Qiao Jian and then at Qiao Zhen Zhen, and he immediately admitted: "Yes, after Miss got off the bus yesterday, I went back to the school gate and sent Miss Zhao home."

    Qiao Jian's expression was calm, obviously the driver had already told him just now.

    "I, I just thought, Miss Zhao is Miss Zhao's good friend, I've been picking up and dropping off people for two years, and it's not very good to leave others suddenly, and it happens that Miss Zhao is no longer in the car, so I called Miss Zhao, and I heard that After Miss Zhao was still at school, she went to pick her up." The driver looked at Qiao Jian and explained.

    Qiao Jian taught Qiao Zhenzhen with a straight face: "Xiao Wu did the right thing, he is helping you maintain your friendship."

    "Help me maintain my friendship?" Qiao Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows, "He put aside the things I arranged, and instead went to pick up an unrelated person first, is this called helping me maintain my friendship?"

    Qiao Jian frowned: "Zhen Zhen you..."

    "Besides, if he really wants to help me maintain our friendship, why did he lie and say he went to the gas station just now and pick up someone secretly, as if he has some ulterior secret with Zhao Lianqiao, don't you think it's strange, Dad?" Zhen Zhen asked.

    A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Qiao Jian's face: "What's weird about this, don't think too much about it."

    "I hope I don't think too much," Qiao Zhenzhen glanced at the driver and said meaningfully, "his attitude made me almost think that Zhao Lianqiao is my father's daughter."

    "Bullshit, you are Dad's only daughter!" Qiao Jianli made a rigid face.

    "So, don't help him talk, otherwise I really thought Zhao Lianqiao was more important than me in your heart." Qiao Zhen Zhen raised the corners of her lips mockingly.

    Qiao Jian was flustered by her for a moment, frowned and reprimanded: "What a mess, I'm not afraid to say it and make jokes, she is your classmate, how could it be more important than you."

    "Mr. Joe..." The driver vaguely felt bad.

    Qiao Jian coughed and slowed down his tone: "Zhen Zhen, Xiao Wu didn't do it on purpose, I think he already knew he was wrong, or forgive him this time, and next time, I will definitely fire him, He is not even allowed to enter the door of Qiao's house."

    "Yes, yes, I promise there will be no next time." The driver said quickly.

    "I can't control this matter, I have to ask my mother's opinion," Qiao Zhenzhen looked around, "Is she still in the house? Why don't we call her out, and the three of us will have a meeting to study this issue. A driver who cares so much about an outsider that he can even delay the hostess' milk tea, is it suitable for me to pick you up?"

    "...It's just a trivial matter, why bother your mother, you don't want him to pick him up, and he won't let him pick him up in the future." Qiao Jian immediately denied it. Although his relationship with Zhao Qin has lasted for two years, he has no plans to go further, so he naturally refuses to make trouble with Qin Jing.

    "Mr. Qiao, how can this be done?!" The driver was immediately anxious. The job of taking Qiao Zhenzhen to school

    easy

    Not to mention, it is a rare fat man who can often get bonuses from Qin Jing.

    Qiao Jian sank his face: "Okay, you can drive in the company in the future, not at home."

    Seeing that Qiao Jian had made up his mind, the driver didn't dare to say anything, and gave Qiao Zhen Zhen a stern face, and then shrank back in fright after meeting her gaze.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen snorted softly, ran to the kitchen to get two sandwiches, and then took a taxi to school. She ate one of the sandwiches and put the other in a paper bag, all the way to the school gate.

    She got up early today, and when she got to school, she was bright. There was no one on the road opposite the school, but Chi Shen was already standing in the corner. Qiao Zhen Zhen walked straight to him and handed the paper bag to him.

    "Breakfast," she said.

    Chi Shen stared at the paper bag in her hand, and pursed her thin lips for a while.

    "Don't look at it, hurry up and eat, I know you didn't have breakfast." Qiao Zhen Zhen urged. I have known him for three years in my last life, and I have seen him with low blood sugar several times. Later, I heard from other classmates that he would come to school an hour earlier every day in order to wait for him, and he often skipped breakfast.

    However, after yesterday, he did not rule out the factor that his unscrupulous parents did not give him food.

    The sun has not yet risen, the air is fresh and cool in the drowsy morning, Chi Shen and Qiao Zhen Zhen are standing together, the size is like the gap between a big dog and a rabbit, but the momentum is just the opposite.

    Seeing that he still didn't pick it up, Qiao Zhen Zhen narrowed her eyes: "Come on, don't force me to put it in your mouth." Other things can be compromised, but this one can't be done, skipping breakfast is really not a good habit.

    Hearing her threats, Chi Shen finally reached out and took the paper bag, took out the sandwich and watched it for a while, then started eating slowly in front of her, taking each bite very slowly, the more he ate, the more serious his expression became.

    ...they are eating the same sandwich, why do you think he is so unpalatable? Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him speechlessly.

    Chi Shen ate a palm-sized sandwich for nearly five minutes, and more and more people ate it until the school gate. Seeing him put the last bite into his mouth, Qiao Zhen Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and walked towards the teaching building.

    Chi Shen looked at her back quietly, and the tense muscles slowly eased after a distance.

    After walking for a while, Qiao Zhen Zhen suddenly turned around and made sure that Chi Shen was still following her, so she continued to walk forward, asking Xiao Ba, "I already invited him to breakfast, why can't I see the new favorability value?"

    "...You're going to put breakfast in his mouth, how can he have a new goodwill?" Chi Shen is now their big customer who produces goodwill. Using this method to threaten the big customer makes even the system feel speechless.

    When Qiao Zhen Zhen heard the words, she pulled the corner of her lips: "I don't want to either, but if you don't say that, he will definitely not cooperate."

    While speaking, she arrived on the fourth floor, and before she entered the classroom, she heard someone chatting inside—

    "It's not that she has no hands, why even ask you to help on duty? It's too much." A girl was indignant.

    "It's okay, everyone is a friend, and I should help her." Zhao Lianqiao explained with a smile, sounding very generous.

    "You treat her as a friend, does she treat you as a friend?" The girl continued to scold her, "I think she's just getting ahead, and so do you. You can't be too kind, you know?"

    "She's just a little girlish, but the rest is pretty good." Zhao Lianqiao 'helped' her talk.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen clicked her tongue and walked in directly: "She is going to help me on duty, how could I have to make an inch?"

    She didn't expect that she would be caught for speaking badly behind her back, and the girl suddenly looked embarrassed. Seeing the dozen or so people who had just entered the class, she bit her lip and retorted, "Even if she wants to help you, you can't leave her alone. Come on, she's your friend, not your servant."

    "I said she was my servant?" Qiao Zhenzhen gave Zhao Lianqiao a sideways look, "Besides, she won't suffer, she will call my driver after helping me, and my driver will take her home in the end."

    As soon as she said these words, the rest of the class looked at Zhao Lianqiao, and even the girl who helped Zhao Lianqiao was suddenly speechless.

    In any case, no matter how good a friend is, you must have a sense of boundaries. Directly calling someone's employees sounds inappropriate. Chengde High School is a private school. Most of the students in the class are from good families. After Zhen said that, her mood was a little subtle.

    Zhao Lianqiao didn't expect the driver to send her to her, and she also knew about it. After being stunned, she quickly explained: "Uncle Wu wants to take me back, not me." The meaning of the words is that she is very familiar with the driver, and she is also picked up. Very normal.

    "Well, use my car, swipe my card to refuel, and send it to you." Qiao Zhen Zhen said calmly.

    Zhao Lianqiao didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to herself today, she was embarrassed and annoyed for a while, but she couldn't show it, she could only pursed her lips to show weakness: "I'm sorry, I'll give you the oil money later, don't be mad at me. OK?"

    "The gas is only a few dollars. You've already helped her, so it's time to get even." The girl who had been silent just now finally spoke.

    Zhao Lianqiao gave a wry smile, and was about to pretend to be pitiful in front of everyone, when she heard Qiao Zhenzhen say lightly: "That's right, let's make it even, and we'll have less contact in the future."

    After speaking, she paused for a moment and raised the corner of her lips to Zhao Lianqiao: "After all, I have the temper of a young lady, so I am not suitable to be your friend."

    Zhao Lianqiao heard her emphasizing the 'eldest lady's temper', and she was a little bit down on the stage. She is also a book-wearer anyway, she knows all the plots of the original text, she has a natural sense of superiority compared to the natives here, now that she has heard Qiao Zhenzhen's self-deprecation, she has no mood to coax Qiao Zhenzhen, so she sits down with a sullen face down.

    Compared to her irritability, Qiao Zhen Zhen was in a happy mood, she made sure that Chi Shen had already sat down before returning to her seat.

    "Did I act too fierce just now, will Chi Shen be more afraid of me?" She suddenly became worried.

    Xiao Ba was silent for a moment: "...You only think now, is it too late?"

    Qiao Zhenzhen sighed helplessly: "I don't want to either." I also thought about dating Zhao Lian Qiao Xu and Wei She, but every time I see her face, I feel annoyed, and I don't want to feel wronged to pretend that the years are quiet, so I just cut it off.

    The class bell rang, the air gradually became sultry, and she started a dull study time again.

    I didn't sleep well last night, and was drowsy all morning. As it approached noon, a reminder sound suddenly popped out of mind——

    [Favorability +20, 40 points in existence]

    She woke up instantly: "...Is it because I look good when I sleep?" With this kind of good impression, she no longer thinks about people other than Chi Shen.

    "No," Xiao Ba denied first, then came to a conclusion after a moment of silence, "The favorability value appeared because of breakfast."

    "Isn't it about a one-minute delay at most? Breakfast was three hours ago." Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned.

    Xiao Ba was also puzzled: "There is no delay, it was born immediately."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen was even more puzzled, after thinking for a long time, an inspiration flashed, and she was even more speechless: "...he thought there was something wrong with the sandwich, so he didn't like it at the time, but he was fine in the morning and understood that the breakfast I gave was fine. , This gave birth to 20 points of goodwill."

    Is this guy an idiot? They all believed that she was going to harm him, but she still dared to eat what she gave. She was really not afraid of death. The image of him lying in her arms covered in blood suddenly flashed in her mind, and her mood suddenly turned bad.

    Qiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips, took out the mirror and looked back, sure enough, Chi Shen's face appeared in the mirror.

    "Big fool!" She mouthed fiercely.

    [Favorite +30, existing 70 points]
