just like it

Bao Yanlin was very proud.

Did Jiang Miao come obediently after hiding from her for so long?

She stirred the coffee in the cup in front of her, picked it up gracefully, took a sip, put it down, looked up at Jiang Miao, and said with a half-smile, "Why are you angry with me? Isn't it still here?" Is it? Tossing so long in vain, what a waste of time."

There was also a cup of coffee in front of Jiang Miao, but he didn't touch it, and he didn't come to drink coffee and chat with Bao Yanlin.

"You can tell what's going on," Jiang Miao said.

Bao Yanlin leaned back on the back of the chair, folded her arms around her chest, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Jiang Miao with a proud attitude: "That's it? I don't care about your refusal to answer my phone call before, Now that you have something to ask me, you have to show a begging attitude."

Jiang Miao looked at him, got up and walked out.

Bao Yanlin froze for a moment, stood up and shouted, "How dare you!"

There were still many customers in the coffee shop, and they couldn't help but look over when they heard the shout.

Bao Yanlin suddenly felt a bit ashamed. Seeing that Jiang Miao had no intention of stopping and was still walking outside, she didn't care about face, she ran after her on her high heels and grabbed Jiang Miao's sleeve: "Don't go."

Jiang Miao stopped and looked back at her indifferently.

"You don't even care about your mother's house anymore?" Bao Yanlin lowered her voice, frowned and said condemningly.

Jiang Miao was unmoved, and still looked at her indifferently, so Bao Yanlin had no choice but to put her hands together, grab Jiang Miao's arm and pull her back to the seat.

When they were in the Jiang family, Jiang Miao and Bao Yanlin rarely interacted with each other. Jiang Miao was not a personality who would take the initiative to provoke troubles, and Bao Yanlin wanted to maintain her image as a "good wife and loving mother" in front of Jiang Ze'an. Little, on the contrary, it has been calm.

Today was also Bao Yanlin's first confrontation with Jiang Miao.

Rejecting a call doesn't count.

That is not even a chance to quarrel.

Bao Yanlin was very angry, but she never expected Jiang Miao to lose her temper like this.

Pushing the person back to the seat, she pressed hard on Jiang Miao's shoulder again, with a smile on her face, but her voice was cold, and she said, "Look at you child, if you criticize you a few words, you will throw your face away and leave. , how can you look like a person out of society?"

Seeing that Jiang Miao was sitting obediently, with no intention of leaving, Bao Yanlin let go, sat back on her seat, and said, "No wonder you always make your father angry. Your attitude in dealing with things really deserves it." Make a good change."

Jiang Miao said calmly: "Since you have been telling me about your attitude, I think some things should be made clearer."

Bao Yanlin froze for a moment: "What?"

Jiang Miao said: "First of all, you have repeatedly asked me out to meet and talk. It is you who invited me first, not me begging you."

Bao Yanlin's mouth twitched.

Jiang Miao said again: "Secondly, you said that the matter is related to my mother's family, so I have shown my attitude by coming here. But if your so-called talking about things is just sneering and sarcastic, and you want to play me like a monkey, sorry I will not accompany you."

"Heh..." Bao Yanlin sneered, and wanted to say something again.

"Let me remind you one more thing. I was under one year old when I was brought back to Jiang's house. I didn't have the slightest impression of my mother and her family. They are no different from strangers to me. You have to think that such a relationship can Use it to threaten me, or how urgently I want to know, I advise you to be more sober, if you want to say it, say it, if you don’t say it, forget it.”

Bao Yanlin was stunned for a while, and retorted unconvinced: "What are you talking about being a stranger, why come if you don't want to know?"

Jiang Miao sighed slightly: "Didn't you understand? I came here not because I was so curious about what you were going to say, but because I respected the bit of blood in me."

Bao Yanlin opened her mouth, but was unable to speak for a long time.

In fact, Jiang Miao was also wondering that Bao Yanlin was able to hold the position of the current Jiang Zean's wife. Apart from the credit for giving birth to Jiang Yan's son, it was also because of some means. There was a quarrel once, but for the rest of the time, her "good wife and loving mother" persona has always stood firm.

I don't know what's going on now, Bao Yanlin always said some stupid things to him, even if she had a good card in her hand, she beat him to death.

Bao Yanlin's heart was also fluctuating.

She knew she was being reckless.

For so many years, she didn't really know Jiang Miao, and because she knew a secret, she was so excited that she couldn't wait to see a good show, her words and deeds deviated from the usual ones.

At this moment, Jiang Miao's words calmed her down.

After being silent for a while, she took a sip of the warmed coffee, brushed her long curly hair, and said seriously: "Your uncle came to see Mr. Jiang, and I heard that there is some trouble in business. I want to ask Mr. Jiang for some money. Of course, Mr. Jiang refused to give it casually, so I negotiated a condition with him, and this condition has something to do with you."

Bao Yanlin stopped, looked at Jiang Miao, and took another sip of coffee.

She wanted to see Jiang Miao's reaction.

Jiang Miao didn't respond.

So she could only continue to say: "Boss Jiang asked your uncle to find a way to get you back to Jiang's house, and if he succeeds, he will give you money."

This time, she finally saw the change of expression on Jiang Miao's face.

Jiang Miao opened her eyes slightly, looking incredible, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Jiang Miao was not surprised that she still had an uncle, but that Jiang Zhe'an's unwillingness to give up on him had reached the point of unscrupulousness.

Of course, as Jiang Miao was the eldest son and grandson of the Jiang family, it was understandable that Jiang Ze'an would not give up on him easily.

No matter how serious it is, this is his first child.

Besides sexual orientation, Jiang Ze'an couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Miao.

Maybe it's because he hates Jiang Miao because iron is weak, or because he has a stubborn desire to control, no one outside can guess.

But based on Jiang Miao's understanding of him, he really couldn't understand how Jiang Ze'an would think of asking this "uncle" who had never had any contact with him for more than 20 years to persuade him to return to the Jiang family.

If this is not unscrupulous, what is it?

Maybe it was Jiang Miao's surprise at this moment that made Bao Yanlin regain some balance, and she became proud again: "As an elder, I also kindly remind you that Mr. Jiang's intention is to let your uncle do whatever he wants. As long as you can get you back to Jiang's house. So, huh, I guess your uncle may not come to have a good talk with you, maybe he will use some extraordinary means to tie you up and send you to Mr. Jiang Cross."

After she finished speaking, she raised her orchid fingers and slowly stirred the coffee with a small spoon. She didn't believe that Jiang Miao could keep calm all the time.

"What about you?" Jiang Miao looked at her, "Why did you remind me so kindly?"

He purposely said the word "kindness" rather emphatically. To put it bluntly, he didn't believe that Bao Yanlin would have any "kindness" towards him.

Bao Yanlin sneered: "It's very simple, because I don't want you to go back to Jiang's house."

Jiang Miao thought to herself: Sure enough.

Bao Yanlin persistently wanted to talk to him about this matter, not to remind him of the possible harm that his uncle with evil intentions might do to him, but to erase the possibility of him returning to Jiang's house.

Whether Jiang Miao was persuaded by her uncle or kidnapped back, as long as the result of "returning to Jiang's house" was achieved, it was something she didn't want to see.

This was probably the first time that Bao Yanlin had clearly expressed her true thoughts in front of Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao suddenly felt relieved.

At least, it wasn't that something terrible happened to my mother's house.

Jiang Miao said, "Whether I go back or not, that's my business."

Bao Yanlin felt vigilant: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Miao said indifferently: "I said, whether to return to Jiang's house or not, and when to return are all my business. I don't need others to make decisions for me."

Bao Yanlin's complexion changed immediately: "You've already left, you've made the whole house crazy, now you want to go back?"

Jiang Miao ignored her and raised her hand to ask the waiter to pay the bill.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Let me make it clear today that you are not the only son in the Jiang family. Since you have chosen to leave, you have to be tough and stick to it. Why are you father and son having conflicts and dragging me and my son away?" Xiaoyan being angry?" Bao Yanlin said angrily.

Jiang Miao still ignored her, paid the bill by scanning the QR code with her mobile phone, got up and went out.

Bao Yanlin didn't even bother to take the bag, and hurried to catch up, still muttering in her mouth: "Don't rely on your father to value you, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't change your liking for men, really Can your father continue to pamper you? The Jiang family really allows you to leave as you wish, and return as you wish?"

Jiang Miao was tall and had long legs. Bao Yanlin couldn't catch up with him in high heels. After a few steps, Jiang Miao walked to the door. Bao Yanlin was anxious, and raised her hand to grab Jiang Miao's back.

Seeing that the manicured fingertips were about to touch Jiang Miao's clothes, a hand came across from the side and grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Miao, who heard the movement, turned her head back with a look of shock.

Luo Yuchuan grabbed Bao Yanlin's wrist, looked at her with a serious expression, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Miao murmured, "Senior..."

Luo Yuchuan only looked serious, but he could hear that Luo Yuchuan was very angry, even angry, and this anger was not just because he saw Bao Yanlin almost caught him.

Bao Yanlin was a little stunned, with a pale face, looking at Luo Yuchuan speechless.

Luo Yuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, threw away her hand, turned to look at Jiang Miao, looked him up and down several times, and asked restrainedly, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Miao shook her head.

Luo Yuchuan said nothing more, took Jiang Miao's hand and left.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Bao Yanlin recovered from the fright, she put her hands on her chest, gritted her teeth, and a hint of resentment gradually appeared in her eyes.

Luo Yuchuan drove Jiang Miao home directly. He kept a sullen face all the way and didn't speak. Jiang Miao didn't dare to speak while sitting in the passenger seat, so Luo Yuchuan took him home anxiously, and followed him upstairs into the car. out of the house.

Luo Yuchuan took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa, then turned around and reached out to Jiang Miao: "Come here."

Jiang Miao walked over in a daze, letting Luo Yuchuan hold his hand, and looked him up and down carefully again.

Jiang Miao couldn't help it: "What's wrong?"

Luo Yuchuan looked at him quietly, breathing a little heavily.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Miao thought about it and asked again: "Why are you there? Is there something wrong? Passing by? What a coincidence..."

"No," Luo Yuchuan said in a deep voice, "Wu Xia told me that you and Jiang Yan's mother were there, and he was worried that something happened to you."

"Oh, I'm fine." Jiang Miao was still at a loss, "How did Wu Xia know that he was there too?"

Luo Yuchuan took a deep breath, as if he couldn't control it anymore, he said in a trembling voice, "How could you meet her alone? Why did you go secretly and not tell me? She did such terrible things to you, causing you to Almost... you will stay away from her in the future!"

His face was extremely ugly, painful and angry, and if you carefully discern it, it was also mixed with lingering fear.

Jiang Miao was stunned, and felt that he had caught something in a trance. He said, "You...do you know something?"

"I..." Luo Yuchuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

After receiving a call from Wu Xia and knowing that Jiang Miao was meeting Bao Yanlin alone, Luo Yuchuan felt like he was going crazy.

He immediately left his job and drove all the way. As soon as he arrived at the door of the coffee shop, he saw Bao Yanlin going to arrest Jiang Miao. Falling out was already the greatest restraint he could do.

Thinking of what she had done to Jiang Miao, he shuddered.

Even looking at Jiang Miao standing in front of him perfectly, Luo Yuchuan still felt uneasy in his heart.

Lost and found.

In less than an hour, he actually experienced the ups and downs of this roller coaster ride.

But Jiang Miao's question made him lose his voice.

Only then did Luo Yuchuan realize that to explain his abnormality, he had to let Jiang Miao know that Qiao Ruige had investigated him.

He was worried just because it was Jiang Yan's mother——for such a reason, he knew that he couldn't convince Jiang Miao.

And if some things are kept hidden, it may gradually become a minefield that both of them are careful not to touch.

Luo Yuchuan didn't want to do this.He hoped that his relationship with Jiang Miao would always be sincere and open.

He didn't hesitate for too long, and told Jiang Miao everything that Qiao Ruige had found out.

He was still a little apprehensive when he said it. He had kept this matter a secret for a long time. Although he didn't hide it intentionally, he was also afraid that Jiang Miao would be angry.

After all, whoever knew that someone had investigated him behind his back would be angry.

After Jiang Miao finished listening, no emotional changes could be seen on her face, she lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Luo Yuchuan thought, even if he wanted to have a cold war with him, he would admit it, and it would be best if he could vent his anger by scolding himself, so don't be bored in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Jiang Miao coming over, hugged him, put his face against his neck, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Luo Yuchuan was stunned, feeling his heart beating suddenly, and his eyes felt a little hot.

Jiang Miao hugged his arm with some strength, and murmured, "I shouldn't have met her without telling you. When I thought about how you felt on the road, I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Luo Yuchuan raised his hand and hugged him back. He was speechless for a while, and only kissed Jiang Miao's forehead lightly. All the ups and downs and turbulent emotions were hidden in this soft touch.

"So, why would he think of checking me?" After a while, Jiang Miao raised her head and asked.

Luo Yuchuan looked at his expression: "Aren't you angry?"

Jiang Miao pursed her lips: "A little bit. But only a little bit. With his background, I can understand doing such a thing. Let's not talk about him. It's Jiang's family. When I was young, my dad also sent us Go learn some self-defense."

Luo Yuchuan sighed: "He didn't specifically check you, but Wu Xia. At that time, you and Wu Xia shared the rent, and even you were checked."

As he spoke, he sighed again, quite helplessly: "Actually...before that, he asked me, asked me...whether he wanted to investigate you, and I didn't agree."

"Huh? You don't want to know?" Jiang Miao asked.

Luo Yuchuan said: "I want to know you by myself, and I want to hear you tell me about you. What I found out is just a bunch of indifferent past."

Jiang Miao said "ah", as if thinking of something: "You refused, but he still wants to tell you?"

Luo Yuchuan smiled wryly: "Well, didn't that happen to Wu Xia? He just took revenge on me and made me meddle in robbing people. If I don't want to know, I just want to tell me."

Jiang Miao was stunned for a while, then said disgustedly: "Then he is really, a stingy gossip."

Jiang Miao decided to call Wu Xia, thanking him for notifying Luo Yuchuan. He knew that Wu Xia was worried about him and it was out of good intentions.Secondly, I also wanted to tell him that Qiao Ruige, a "gossip man", had investigated him behind the scenes.

The call was made, and Wu Xia picked it up after a while, but the voice didn't sound too emotional.

"Thank you today, I specially called the senior here." Jiang Miao said.

"Oh, why are you being polite? Then who, didn't you find it hard?"

Jiang Miao smiled and said, "I'm not a child anymore, she can't do anything to me."

"That's good."

Jiang Miao tentatively asked, "Are you with Qiao Ruige today?"

Wu Xia gave a "hmm" and said, "I was about to leave at that time. When I saw you and that person, I wanted to go and see him. He had to take me away if he was in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't call you." Mr. Jia Luo. Forget it, as long as you have nothing to do."

"What's up with him?"

"I don't know, let the driver take me back, I don't know where I went." Wu Xia said sullenly.

In fact, Jiang Miao has been thinking about how to say that Qiao Ruige investigated the two of them, but he felt that he couldn't say it too bluntly, so he thought for a while and said, "Actually, you, Master Qiao, are quite capable. Well, of course, they have a wide circle of contacts, deep connections, and know a lot of things, that is, will it be easy to control too much?"

Wu Xia chuckled: "What are you doing? Are you trying to praise him or hurt him?"

Jiang Miao smiled: "Let me ask you, if he, um, for whatever reason, knew a lot about your past, would you be angry?"

Wu Xia was stunned.

After he remembered about Qiu Xiaoxia, Qiao Ruige sent a text message to his cell phone.

It was easy for Qiao Ruige to get his phone number and know that he changed stores. Even if he knew something about his past, it would not be surprising.

He said: "There's nothing to be angry about. A person like him has all-hands and eyes, and his supernatural powers are very powerful. If there is something he doesn't know, it may be an accident."

Wu Xia just answered casually, but Jiang Miao misunderstood him, thinking that he knew that Qiao Ruige had investigated him, and then thinking that the two of them are so sticky now, maybe they had already talked about it, and then went to mix it up by themselves. And, aren't you meddling in your own business?

So he didn't bring up this topic any more, and after chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Wu Xia was a little upset.In the afternoon, Qiao Ruige was in a very bad state. He had never seen Qiao Ruige so angry and depressed.

Qiao Ruige handed him over to the driver and hurried away by himself, and there has been no news since then.

At night Wu Xia tried to call him, but no one answered.

Wu Xia was vaguely uneasy. For a while, he wondered if something had changed in the acquisition case, and for a while, he was worried that something serious had happened to the Qiao family.He kept scrolling through the news on his phone, wanting to see if there was any news about this, but after searching the Internet, the only latest news about the Qiao family was the success of the acquisition.

He felt that his state was not right, whether it was anxiety, upset or worry, whether he was too easily influenced by Qiao Ruige.

He definitely wasn't like this a few months ago, not to mention that Qiao Ruige didn't answer the phone when he didn't hear from him, even if he didn't show up for a few days, he wouldn't feel anything, and he wished for peace.

Why are you getting more and more hypocritical now?

Wu Xia decided not to think too much. If there is no news, there will be no news. What should I do? I have to go to work tomorrow, so I should wash up and go to bed early.

That night Wu Xia fell asleep in a state of vague uneasiness and deliberately neglected apprehension.

Qiao Ruige did not return all night.
