At half past five in the morning, when the sky was still dark, Chi Yeche had already woken up. He glanced at the sleeping woman with unfathomable eyes, gently got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, cleaned up, put on clothes and left the room.

"Sir." Chi Yeche saw Fang Ye as soon as he got downstairs.

Knowing that Chi Yeche would definitely go out early today, Fang Ye also got up early and waited.

"No, I'll drive there myself."

Hearing what Chi Yeche said, Fang Ye handed the car key to Chi Yeche: "Sir, drive carefully."

He drove to a river in Q city, and in front of him was a bridge connecting one end of the river to the other, and the woman he once loved... also ended her life here.

The wind by the river ruffled Chi Yeche's hair. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of sadness. Chi Yeche just stood silently by the river and looked at the life in front of him that had nurtured the people of Q City and swallowed it up.

The river of her life...

She walked to the river and squatted down, placing her favorite lilies on the river.

I gently let go of my hand, and the lily floats away with the river.

Ruoning, are you okay in heaven?

After standing by the river for a long time, until the sky turned from bright to day, Chi Yeche turned around, walked back to the car, and drove to the company.

Qiao Ximo had just returned to the room after dinner when she heard her cell phone ringing. She originally thought it was a call from Chi Yeche but found out that it was a call from Qiao Daye.

After knowing that Chi Yeche bought her a mobile phone, Qiao Daye asked for Qiao Ximo's phone number so that he could contact her in time when necessary.

But now that nothing happened, why would he call her suddenly.

Although Qiao Ximo was a little confused, he still answered the phone.

"Hey, Ximo, it's me, dad."

Hearing Qiao Daye's words, Qiao Ximo frowned in disgust. She didn't like hearing the word "dad" from Qiao Daye's mouth, because he was not worthy of being a person's father at all!

"What's the matter?" Qiao Ximo's voice was cold, meaning that if nothing happened, I would hang up.

"Dad is in the United States now. We will probably arrive home the day after tomorrow. You can come over and visit your mother."

"Well, I understand."

"Um... do you need anything? Dad will buy some things and give them to you?" Although it is very common for fathers to give gifts to their daughters, and he often gives gifts to Qiao Qingqing, but when he opened his mouth, he said it to Qiao Ximo.

At that time, I felt indescribably weird. Maybe it was... he had never given Qiao Ximo a gift before, but now that he was speaking, it felt more like flattering than caring.

"No need." Qiao Ximo refused without thinking. She didn't want to accept Qiao Daye's fake kindness!

If he really cared about her daughter and wanted to give him a gift, why had he never seen their mother and daughter before? At this time, he was just afraid that it would be discovered that she was not Qiao Qingqing, so he tried his best to please her.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." After Qiao Ximo finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Qiao Daye's answer, because she also knew that Qiao Daye had nothing to say to her.

Hearing the "beep beep" sound on the other end of the phone, Qiao Daye sighed and walked back to Qiao Qingqing and Shen Yu who were sitting on the beach under the umbrella, lying on the comfortable lounge chair drinking ice juice.

around.

"Who did you call just now?" Shen Yu asked curiously. When Qiao Daye made the call, he walked aside as if he didn't want them to hear.

"It can't be with Qiao Ximo, right?" Qiao Qingqing guessed.

Upon hearing Qiao Qingqing's words, she noticed a slight change in Qiao Daye's face. Shen Yu's face was instantly filled with anger: "Are you talking to her on the phone?"

Qiao Daye knew that Shen Yu was angry and said quickly: "No, no, no."

Shen Yu stretched out his hand: "Then bring your phone, and I'll check the call records myself." Qiao Daye just came back after making the call, and he definitely didn't have time to delete the call records.

Knowing that it would be impossible for him not to give Shen Yu a cell phone, and she would scold him if she found it anyway, Qiao Daye had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Yes, I was on the phone with Ximo just now."

After hearing Qiao Daye's words, Shen Yu's anger surged upward: "Why did you call her?"

"Just tell her that we will go back the day after tomorrow, and then ask her if there is anything she wants and bring her some gifts."

Qiao Daye's words made Shen Yu even more angry. "You are really crazy! What gift did you bring her? What did that little girl Shiliu ask for? You are not allowed to buy it, do you hear me!"

Shen Yu's words made Qiao Daye sigh heavily. "Don't talk about Ximo in such a tone! She doesn't want anything! Besides, if it weren't for her, would we, Qingqing, be here intact now?"

Qiao Daye's words made Shen Yu speechless for a moment. She thought of something and immediately said in an arrogant voice: "Then she also wants to thank us for spending so much money on her mother's surgery, okay? It's not like she helped her for no reason.

Our Qiao family also contributed a lot of money, okay?"

Now thinking about that money, Shen Yu feels distressed. If it weren't for Qiao Ximo's ability to keep their family safe, she wouldn't have agreed to spend so much money on that mother and daughter.

"Dad, you didn't even mention bringing me a gift this time, but you still wanted to bring a gift for Qiao Ximo." Qiao Qingqing pouted unhappily.

Faced with the mother and daughter taking turns to accuse Qiao Daye, there was really no other way. "Dad, wasn't he in a hurry when he came here? Moreover, what did you do these days? You spent 100,000 yuan in just a few days?"

After seeing the text message sent to him by the bank, Qiao Daye couldn't believe his eyes.

"I..." Qiao Qingqing choked for a moment and continued: "Isn't it because you said that I couldn't go back to school or the place where I live? My classmates would think that I went back to China, so I went to live there.

In a hotel, I can’t eat or live outside and I have to buy daily necessities and clothes!”

Qiao Qingqing found many reasons one by one.

"You can stay in a hotel. Why do you have to stay in a five-star hotel that costs thousands or tens of thousands a night every day?"

Finding Qiao Qingqing looking at him with a pitiful look, Shen Yu quickly touched Qiao Qingqing's head distressedly and said angrily to Qiao Daye: "What's wrong with our daughter staying in a better hotel? Do you still want to

Our daughter lives on the street? Aren’t you just making money so that we, mother and daughter, can live a better life? With all the money you took in bribes, why don’t you just let it grow moldy!”

Hearing Shen Yu's words, Qiao Daye was almost frightened by her. He quickly made a "shush" gesture: "How can you say such a thing so loudly outside? What if others hear it?"

"What are you afraid of? This is a foreign country, not a country. There are foreigners everywhere. Who will hear it?" Even though Shen Yu said this, she still looked around with a guilty conscience. After confirming that there were foreigners all around, she felt relieved.
