Chapter 73

Since Qiao Zhenzhen came, Zhao Lianqiao has been soaked in the pool for ten minutes, counting the open-air swimming pool in nine cold days, the temperature is close to below zero, she has no strength to call for help, just crawling on the edge of the pool by instinct to prevent herself from drowning.

She shrank into a ball, no wonder she didn't see her just now. Qiao Zhen Zhen took a deep breath and frowned at Chi Shen.

"I didn't break the law." Chi Shen said immediately.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "...you're almost freezing people to death, and you still say you didn't break the law?!"

"She fell by herself." Chi Shen pursed her lips.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was stunned: "Really?"

"Yeah." Ten minutes ago, she was startled when she saw his face, and accidentally fell into the water when she stepped back.

Qiao Zhen Zhen naturally believed him, but she didn't quite understand: "Then why didn't she come up?"

"I won't let her come up." Chi Shen replied.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "..." Very good, very frank.

After a short silence, Qiao Zhen Zhen instructed him to pick up the person with a blank face, and then called the servant to enter the guest room through the back door, and asked the family doctor to come over by the way.

After doing all this, Li Qingyuan, who was locked in the warehouse, was also released. She had been reminiscing from the moment she found out that the door was locked, and as soon as she was rescued, she angrily looked for Zhao Lianqiao everywhere. Qiao Zhen Zhen vaguely understood what was going on, and 'kindly' asked someone to send her to the guest room.

"Will there be a fight?" Qiao Zhenzhen watched Li Qingyuan's back go away and suddenly wanted to watch the fun.

Chi Shen's lips moved slightly, and just as she was about to answer, she gave her a sidelong glance, and she didn't dare to speak.

Qiao Zhen Zhen snorted lightly, saw Chi Cheng and immediately went up to meet him, and whispered something to him. Chi Cheng's brows gradually wrinkled, and after asking a few more questions, he called the servant who gave Chi Shen's directions just now, and fired him immediately.

In the guest room, Zhao Lianqiao, who was wrapped in the quilt and drank two cups of hot tea, finally stopped shivering, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Qingyuan rushed in, her expression stiffened, and her eyes were red as she said, "Qingyuan, we It is designed……"

Snapped!

Before she finished speaking, she was slapped. Li Qingyuan was no better than Qiao Zhenzhen, she moved her hands mercilessly and directly slapped her face crookedly.

Zhao Lianqiao opened her eyes wide and covered her hot face in disbelief: "You hit me?"

"It's you who I hit. Even Miss Ben dares to design. I'm really impatient," Li Qingyuan sneered, "I advise you to leave S City within 24 hours, otherwise it won't be as simple as a slap."

After that, she turned and left with a dark face, ignoring Zhao Lianqiao's sophistry.

Zhao Lianqiao stared blankly at her back disappearing, her eyes turning red with anger. She has been in this novel for more than three years. In the past three years, she has been living smoothly with her understanding of the original text. She has never suffered such humiliation. When did it start, and why did the plot move towards her completely The direction she doesn't know develops, what advantage does she have against Qiao Zhen Zhen?

She is so unwilling, she has clearly replaced Qiao Zhenzhen as the daughter of the Qiao Group, and she has successfully taken away the heroine's life, why is it getting worse and worse, and now she is so humiliated by a small supporting role in the text. Zhao Lianqiao took a deep breath, and her breath began to tremble.

Just when she was immersed in her hatred for Qiao Zhen Zhen, there was a knock on the door, she looked up and saw a familiar old man walk in.

It's Chi Cheng.

"Miss Zhao, I'm Chi Shen's grandfather, Chi Cheng." Chi Cheng said with a smile.

Zhao Lianqiao's expression was a little stiff: "...Hello."

"I'm really sorry that such an accident happened at Chi's house tonight. Fortunately, Miss Zhao didn't have an accident. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it to Mr. Qiao."

Zhao Lianqiao pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly, and some did not dare to look at him.

"But think about it carefully, a stepdaughter who has no blood relationship, Mr. Qiao may not ask me to explain, maybe I told him the cause and effect, he will not blame me for not taking good care of him, but will feel that someone has lost the Qiao family. What do you mean, Miss Zhao?" The smile on Chi Cheng's face remained unchanged.

Zhao Lianqiao suddenly panicked: "You, you put today's events..."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I didn't say anything." Chi Cheng interrupted her.

Only then did Zhao Lianqiao breathe a sigh of relief, and muttered absentmindedly, "I can't tell him, I can't say..."

Qiao Jian originally blamed her and Zhao Ying for the bad career. The atmosphere at home was very rigid. Once she knew what she had done in S City, she might divorce Zhao Ying in a fit of rage... If he didn't get a divorce, he would also have disgust for her stepdaughter. He didn't want her to change her surname Qiao at first, let alone change her surname when it happened.

"...Mr. Chi, I know I'm wrong, please don't tell my dad." After thinking about it, Zhao Lianqiao cried and knelt on the bed and begged.

Chi Cheng watched the little girl's face change in a second, and his dislike became heavier: "I'm not interested in sue children."

Zhao Lianqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I don't want it to happen again. Whether it's Zhen Zhen or Shen Zhen, it's not something you can provoke you know? If I find out that you are plotting against them again, I might not even let your cheap stepfather go. , understand?" The smile on Chi Cheng's face faded, and every wrinkle contained an invisible chill.

When he became serious, even his opponents in the mall would be afraid of three points, let alone a teenage girl like Zhao Lianqiao.

Zhao Lianqiao stared at him blankly, so scared that she couldn't say a word.

Chi Cheng glanced at her again, thinking it would be boring to scare a little girl, so he turned and left, but suddenly thought of something when he walked to the door, and turned back after being quiet.

"I can see that you are a strong person, but the strong force is in the wrong place. If you want to overpower Zhen Zhen, you have to rely on your own ability, and you always use some unprofessional means. Today, even if you succeed, let Shen Zhen. I look down on you deeply, and do you think others can look up to you? If you continue to be so obsessive, you will destroy yourself sooner or later."

Chicheng has been immersed in shopping malls for many years, her eyes are poisonous and her mouth is poisonous, and her dark thoughts are unceremoniously exposed. Zhao Lianqiao only felt as if she had been stripped naked. The shame made her tremble, but she was helpless.

Seeing her bowing her head, Chi Cheng didn't say more, turned around and left.

When Zhao Lianqiao was sent away, Qiao Zhenzhen didn't know, she only knew that Chi Shen had been standing at her door for two hours and had no intention of leaving.

Chi Cheng sent the last group of guests back, and seeing him still standing there, it was rare that he didn't feel sorry for his grandson: "You deserve it, throwing people into the water in the winter is not at all proportionate, Zhen Zhen should ignore you."

Chi Shen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chi Cheng's heart softened for a second: "There are freshly baked egg tarts in the kitchen, if you go get a few and send them to Zhen Zhen, just say I asked them to deliver them."

Chi Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately turned around and went downstairs.

"It's not dull at all at this time." Chi Cheng smiled and went back to the room to rest.

Three minutes later, Chi Shen voluntarily opened the door and walked into Qiao Zhen Zhen's room.

"I let you in?" Qiao Zhen Zhen gave him a sideways look.

Chi Shen was silent for three seconds: "Grandpa asked me to deliver egg tarts."

The color of the egg tart that was just baked was slightly yellow and charred, and the rich fragrance quickly filled the entire room. Although Qiao Zhenzhen was not hungry, her appetite was still aroused: "Bring it here."

Chi Shen closed the door immediately and walked in front of her with the egg tart.

Qiao Zhen Zhen picked up the egg tart and said without looking up, "You can go."

Chi Shen was motionless.

Qiao Zhen Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Chi Shen looked at her quietly, knelt down on one knee for a long time, and put both hands on her knee: "You will go back to City A tomorrow, don't ignore me."

Qiao Zhen Zhen's heart softened, but when she remembered what he had just done, she couldn't help but straighten her face: "Do you know what's wrong?"

"I know." Chi Shen nodded immediately.

Qiao Zhen Zhen pinched his face: "Do you still dare?"

Chi Shen hesitated.

"Why, how dare you?" Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed angrily.

"...I didn't want to kill her," Chi Shen explained seriously, his dry voice was particularly abrupt in the room, "I just wanted to wake her up."

He promised her that he would never do anything that violated the law again, and he would definitely never do it again. When he soaked Zhao Lianqiao in the water, he kept staring at her. Even if she didn't pass by later, he would do it when the time came. Take people out.

Chi Shen looked at Qiao Zhen Zhen seriously, her eyes were clear black, Qiao Zhen Zhen's heart completely softened and she snorted and did not speak.

Chi Shen raised the corner of his lips and hugged her seriously: "I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."

"……Um."

This means reconciliation.

The two hugged for a while, and began to share egg tarts face to face. After eating all the egg tarts, they went to wash up.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.

On the way to take Qiao Zhen Zhen to the airport, Chi Shen kept his fingers intertwined with her in silence, until she started the security check.

"On New Year's Day, call me." He urged.

Qiao Zhen Zhen nodded: "I will definitely, I will call you at night."

"What time is it at night?" he asked again.

Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed: "After nine o'clock."

"it is good."

After a certain amount of time, he reluctantly let go of her. Qiao Zhen Zhen stretched out her arms to hug him, turned around and left with her suitcase in hand.

Chi Shen always stood there, searching for her back intently, until her figure disappeared, and he refused to leave. The aunt who passed by saw it and couldn't help but talk to him: "Is that your girlfriend just now?"

"Um."

"Ah, it's not easy for young people. Seeing you like this, doesn't it take a long time to see you?" asked the aunt.

Chi Shen nodded silently.

"It's too difficult, long-distance relationships are too difficult, it's really pitiful," the aunt said with emotion, and couldn't help but ask, "Then how long will it take you two to meet when you separate this time?"

"Five days."

"……what?"

"Five days," Chi Shen was rarely patient, bowed his head and looked at Aunt Ma for a while, and then corrected it rigorously, "Four and a half days."

Aunt: "..." Neurotic, it's like four and a half years after seeing each other.
