Rebirth of the Superpower Queen
Chapter 84 The Contrast Between Brothers
Qiao Surong was not impatient with Li Yao's instructions. He nodded slightly, then looked at Meng Zhiling tacitly, and everything became clear.
After they all left, Meng Zhiling received a call from an unknown number.
"Ms. Meng, it's me, Long!"
Meng Zhiling smiled slightly. As expected, he could wait until now to call her, which was beyond her expectation.
"Mr. Long? What can I do for you?" Meng Zhiling pretended to know nothing and asked curiously.
"It's nothing big. I just wanted to ask if Miss Meng has time. Would I have the honor to invite Miss Meng to have lunch with me?" Long said politely, not at all as high-class as the last time they met.
"I don't think Mr. Long and I are familiar enough to have dinner together." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows, vaguely guessing the purpose of his asking her out for dinner.
When Qiao Surong heard that someone had asked Meng Zhiling out for dinner, his face darkened and he looked at Meng Zhiling threateningly.
As long as she dares to agree, he will dare to disrupt the situation!
Meng Zhiling seemed to sense a murderous gaze. She turned around and saw Qiao Surong looking nervous as if he was ready for a fight. She almost laughed out loud.
"Ms. Meng, I may have been a little impatient. If I have offended you, I hope you won't be angry. Don't be afraid that you will say I am old-fashioned. I felt familiar with you at first sight. What's more coincidental is that Miss Meng has the same name as an old friend of mine!" Long still did not give up, showing his shameless nature and would not give up until he achieved his goal!
"Haha, to be honest, this joke is a bit old. Even if what Mr. Long said is true, I still don't think we are that familiar with each other. Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Long, but I don't want to accept rewards without doing anything. I am also busy here, so I won't waste your time!" After Meng Zhiling finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving the other party any chance to try again.
Qiao Surong just kept smiling as he watched Meng Zhiling reject others in various ways, and he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.
The moment Meng Zhiling hung up the phone, he quickly gave her little face a kiss of appreciation.
Meng Zhiling was about to get angry when the door was suddenly pushed open. Hua Yiru was so scared when he saw how close the two of them were that he immediately retreated.
"Come in!" But when he tiptoed in and hadn't closed the door yet, he heard Qiao Surong's roar.
He had no choice but to lower his head and walk tremblingly in front of Qiao Surong like a child who had done something wrong.
"Brother..." He lowered his head and called out in a voice so soft that only he could hear it.
"Remember to knock on the door next time. Is there anything wrong?" For the first time, Qiao Surong did not refute the way he addressed him, but asked coldly with a dark face.
"Well, I just want to ask Zhiling, when are we going to the police station?"
Hua Yiru then remembered the important matter. His pure eyes were not stained with a trace of dust. His black pupils were like the dark night sky, and when he blinked, the light of stars shone in them.
"Why go to the police station?" Meng Zhiling asked blankly, feeling a little confused about what Hua Yiru was talking about.
"Teacher Yu is missing. We should call the police and ask the local police to help us find him as soon as possible!" Hua Yiru explained carefully. He was curious about why Meng Zhiling and the others looked so confused when they mentioned the police station.
"You..." Before Meng Zhiling could say anything, Qiao Surong pointed at Hua Yiru's nose in frustration, but he didn't say the next word for a long time.
"What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?" Hua Yiru was frightened by Qiao Surong's momentum and looked at Meng Zhiling innocently.
"Well, you're not wrong. This is the right approach. It's just that this matter is a bit strange. I'm afraid even the police can't handle it." Meng Zhiling couldn't bear to break all the beautiful fantasies of this big boy, so she smiled "kindly".
"Why?" Hua Yiru continued to ask. In his eyes, this matter was so simple. The first step was to call the police. The second step was to let the police investigate. The third step was to solve the case and find Teacher Yu.
But why did Meng Zhiling say the police couldn't handle it? Could there be some other complicated hidden story behind this?
"No reason, because this world is far from as beautiful as you have come into contact with and know. People always have to grow up, they must mature, and they must solve all the whys by themselves instead of asking others. Beautiful fantasies are meant to be broken, okay?" Meng Zhiling was still struggling with how to explain to him, and Qiao Surong once again took over the topic.
Qiao Surong looked at Hua Yiru with a look of disappointment and scolded him loudly.
Meng Zhiling looked at Qiao Surong, and finally at Hua Yiru. It was the first time she saw Qiao Surong with such a bad temper. No wonder Hua Yiru mistakenly thought that Qiao Surong didn't like him. In fact, she was the only one who understood the worry in his eyes.
"Okay, Yiru, you go out for a while. We'll be out soon and take you to see Teacher Yu." Meng Zhiling pushed away Hua Yiru, who was still standing there looking extremely aggrieved, and then went back to the room to comfort Qiao Surong, who was still angry.
"Is this the reason why you have always disliked him?" Meng Zhiling placed her hand gently on Qiao Surong's shoulder. She knew that he needed her at this time.
"Who said I dislike him? I dislike all creatures with the surname Hua in this world!" Qiao Surong still had a cold face, and it seemed that he was still in the angry mood just now.
Meng Zhiling smiled helplessly, and at the same time she found that Qiao Surong was particularly cute when he was in a bad mood, looking like a big boy who needed comfort and understanding.
"Okay, okay, you don't dislike him, you're just jealous of him." Meng Zhiling covered her face and teased.
As soon as Meng Zhiling finished speaking, Qiao Surong looked up and stared at Meng Zhiling closely, which made Meng Zhiling frightened, thinking that he had really hit the nail on the head.
"Meng Meng, I'm really jealous of him. I'm jealous that he can get such good protection, and I'm jealous of his pure and clear temperament. Every time he uses his simple and innocent eyes, I feel that all my shortcomings are completely exposed to the air." Qiao Surong buried his head deeply in Meng Zhiling's neck and said weakly.
"You're overthinking it. You don't have to envy or be jealous of him. He has his own way of life, and you have yours. Everyone's life is different, so no one is worth your jealousy." Meng Zhiling hugged him distressedly. It turned out that he had such a sentimental side, which was even more distressing than seeing the wounds on his body.
"Meng Meng, do you know? Actually, the only one in the Hua family who I don't dislike is Yi Ru, but I simply can't bring myself to face him head-on. He is so beautiful and so sincere, and I am the one who hurt him." Qiao Surong was rarely serious. Like a helpless child, he held Meng Zhiling's hands tightly. These words could only be said to Meng Zhiling in this life. Such a fragile side could only be shown in front of Meng Zhiling in this life.
"Let the past pass slowly. No one forces you to face it. Having me in the future is enough for you!" Meng Zhiling said, and gently kissed his thin lips. A kiss was enough to heal all the trauma and awkwardness in Qiao Surong's heart.
"The only lucky thing in my life is meeting you. Thank you, Meng Meng."
After the two of them finished their eardrum chatter, Qiao Surong finally felt a little relieved, but when he came out to see Hua Yiru, his expression naturally switched to a cold one again.
Although his tone was still cold, he spoke much more than before. This small change surprised Hua Yiru so much that he kept looking for topics to talk about all sorts of things.
But after being taught a lesson by Qiao Surong just now, his perceptiveness instantly increased a lot, and the topics he talked about were those that would not easily anger Qiao Surong. Meng Zhiling looked at the interaction between the two brothers who looked somewhat similar, and just smiled.
How much she once longed to have a brother or sister, someone to confide in, instead of being alone and helpless. In the end, she became a young lady who was picked up and treated as a superior lady in someone else's home. Now, seeing the interaction between the two brothers, even though the atmosphere is not that good, she still feels very loving.
The car soon arrived at Champagne Street. Meng Zhiling called back Long, who had just called her. The call was picked up as soon as it rang. Meng Zhiling sneered. It seemed that the other party was more anxious than herself.
"Ms. Meng, I'm very happy to receive your call." Long remained calm on the surface, but only he knew that he was like an ant on hot pan.
"Is Yu Meigui at your place?" Meng Zhiling went straight to the point and did not follow Long's example to start with greetings.
"Ms. Meng, since you already know, let's talk about it when we meet." When Long heard Meng Zhiling talking about roses first, the stone in his heart was finally put down. He didn't know how to start the conversation just now.
"Okay, Champagne Street!" Meng Zhiling said and hung up the phone first, with a domineering tone that did not allow anyone to refuse.
"Zhiling, why are we here? Who are you talking to on the phone? Yu Meigui? Are you talking about Teacher Yu?" Hua Yiru looked at Meng Zhiling curiously and asked a series of questions.
Meng Zhiling was thinking about which question to answer him, but Qiao Surong interrupted her, "Why don't you try calling me Zhiling?" Qiao Surong was silent for a while, and his cold voice sounded like it came out from the ground, making people feel creepy.
"Oh, sister-in-law!" Hua Yiru also followed suit and changed his words immediately.
Meng Zhiling looked at the two boring men and was at a loss as to what to do with them. She rolled her eyes at Qiao Surong and said in her heart: As long as you are happy!
"We came here to see Teacher Yu. I was just talking on the phone to someone who knows Teacher Yu." Meng Zhiling spoke slowly and briefly answered Hua Yiru's question. Her eyes had already been looking in other directions, and she was on full alert.
Because even as she was speaking, she had already seen a black extended Lincoln in front of her. She was very familiar with this car. In the past, in her previous life, she often hid in that car to avoid Absalom's search.
"Is everything okay?" Qiao Surong saw Meng Zhiling about to get off the car, pulled her arm, and asked worriedly.
He knew that Meng Zhiling would definitely not let it go so easily, even though he had spared the woman's life last night.
