Chapter 125: The Handkerchief Is Missing
"Oh, your mother has gone to work now. She seems to have an early shift today. She will probably be back around 3 o'clock." The landlady replied.
Hearing what the landlady said, Qiao Ximo couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Mom went to work?"
Knowing why Qiao Ximo had such a big reaction, the landlady also sighed and said: "I also advised your mother that you are not fully recovered yet and should not go out to work, but she said that it was too much for her to stay at home every day.
I'm bored. I know she definitely wants to save more money for you to go to college. But you are still promising and have good grades at Momo. You must study hard, find a good job, and find a good husband in the future. Let you
Mom, live a good life!"
Qiao Ximo lowered her head slightly when she heard the landlady's words. With her current condition, can she still find a good husband so that her mother can live a good life?
If her mother knew what she looked like now, how disappointed she would be...
"I will work hard..." No matter what, she will work hard.
Since he knew that his mother would be back at 3 o'clock, it was already half past one, so Qiao Ximo did not go to her mother but went back to the room to wait for her mother to come back.
Qiao Ximo lived here with her mother when she was thirteen years old. Although the rental house had two bedrooms and one living room, the rooms were very small. Qiao Ximo's room only had room for a single bed and desk.
Although the home is small and has almost no decoration, which is completely different from the villa where she lived during this period, Qiao Ximo feels that it is warmer and feels like home.
Sitting on a small bed that was not as soft as the villa, but rather a little hard, Qiao Ximo was in a daze in silence.
She rarely dazed in the past because she felt dazing was the most wasteful thing in the world. During the time she spent in daze, she could clean the house, read more books, buy groceries and cook to reduce the burden on her mother, and work part-time.
Make some money.
But now Qiao Ximo is often in a daze, because when she is in a daze... she won't think about things that hurt her.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qiao Ximo recovered and stood up and walked to the living room.
"Momo, you're back!" Momo Chenxue couldn't help but smile happily when she saw Qiao Xi.
Every time I see Qiao Ximo, Chenxue feels deeply proud. Although God has caused her to encounter so many unfortunate things, she is fortunate to have a smart, beautiful and sensible daughter like Qiao Ximo.
This is Shen Xue's greatest comfort and motivation to live hard in this world.
"Mom, I heard from the landlady that you went out to work?" Qiao Ximo asked with an accusing tone.
After all, it had only been a while since my mother came out of the hospital, and she went out to work. She obviously needed to take good care of herself! In fact, Qiao Ximo already knew why her mother wanted to come out of the hospital so quickly. If she knew that her mother wanted to come out of the hospital so quickly,
Qiao Ximo shouldn't have agreed to let her mother be discharged from the hospital when she went out to look for a job.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Ximo found out. Shen Xue smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I work as a cleaner in a nearby restaurant."
"Oh my God! That must be very tiring! Mom, you'd better stop doing it. I don't need any money in school now!" Qiao Ximo felt extremely distressed at the thought of her mother suffering.
"Momo, don't worry, that restaurant is very high-end and very clean. You use a vacuum cleaner to clean it, so it's not tiring at all. Moreover, the manager of that store knew my situation and specially arranged the easiest job for me.
Mom is really not tired at all."
"Really?" Qiao Ximo still frowned in disbelief, because she understood her mother's character very well. Her mother was just like her, she would not tell her even if she was tired. Neither of them wanted to make the other worry about them.
.
"Of course, what did mom lie to you for?"
"Then if mom feels tired, she must resign, you know? I really don't lack money in school. The school provides food, drink, and accommodation, and I wear school uniforms. Besides, I still have a lot of money left from my previous part-time job!"
Knowing that Qiao Ximo was worried about her, Shen Xue took Qiao Ximo's hand and stroked it gently. "Don't worry, mom is sensible."
Feeling her mother's calloused hands caressing her, Qiao Ximo couldn't help but feel her nose suddenly sore.
"Mom, I bought you some fruit. I'll wash it for you." Qiao Ximo said and took the fruit on the table into the kitchen.
After having dinner with her mother, when she saw Qiao Ximo seemed to be preparing to leave, Shen Xue quickly said: "Momo, today is the weekend, just stay at home and go to school tomorrow morning."
Knowing that her mother couldn't let her go, Qiao Ximo also couldn't let her go, but she had to go back early.
"I left all my homework at school, and someone from school will check my dormitory."
"In this case, Momo should go back to school. The college entrance examination is not far away. Momo will study hard."
Qiao Ximo smiled lightly at her mother: "I will work hard."
Not long after returning to Qiao's house, the driver came to pick Qiao Ximo back home.
After Chi Yeche returned home and went to his room to take a shower, he found that the water heater seemed to be broken and there was no water coming out.
Chi Yeche came to Qiao Ximo's room with clothes.
After walking in, Chi Yeche put the clean clothes aside, and his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a cloth strip hanging aside.
What's this?
Thinking about it, Chi Yeche reached out and took it, only to find that it was not an ordinary strip of cloth but a handkerchief.
Seemingly discovering something embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, Chi Yeche took a closer look and saw three words embroidered on it - Jun Haochen.
A pair of big palms held the handkerchief so tightly that if it were a stone, it would probably be crushed.
Throw the handkerchief into the toilet and flush it away with water.
When Qiao Ximo returned home, it was dinner time.
"Miss Qiao, are you back? Have you had dinner?" Aunt Li asked quickly when she heard the sound of opening the door and knew it was Qiao Ximo who was back.
Qiao Ximo glanced at the restaurant and said, "I've finished eating. I'm going upstairs first." Qiao Ximo didn't know whether the second sentence was meant for Aunt Li or Chi Yeche.
After returning to the room, Qiao Ximo read for a while and planned to take a shower and go to bed.
After taking a bath, Qiao Ximo picked up the bath towel hanging beside and wiped herself, but found that the handkerchief hanging beside was missing.
Strange... She was obviously hanging here, but how could she disappear?
Thinking about Qiao Ximo, she changed her clothes and left the room to find Aunt Li.
Maybe Aunt Li took it outside to hang for her while she was cleaning her room?
"What's wrong with Miss Qiao?" Aunt Li asked strangely when she found Qiao Ximo coming to see her.
"Aunt Li, did you help me clean the bathroom today?"
