i'm not a bad man

Chapter 266 Such as a sense of security

The atmosphere became more and more tense due to the fierce dispute between father and daughter. I wanted to say something, but I found that no matter whose position I spoke, it seemed unfair.

I can understand Qiao Jiao to a certain extent, because I also hate being manipulated in life, but it is an indisputable fact that her father gave her the best living conditions.

Speaking of her father's sacrifice, looking at Qiao Jiao at this moment, her father is really heartbroken!

But Qiao Jiao was already deeply obsessed with the authorities and couldn't extricate herself. She said to her father without giving in: "Isn't the reason you're angry because I spent your money but didn't let you control my life... ...From now on, you don’t have to be angry anymore, I will pay you back all the money you gave me.”

After saying that, Qiao Jiao took out several bank cards from her bag, and then threw them in front of her father in anger.

This way of solving the problem completely angered her father, who finally raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face. This slap was clear and loud, and while Qiao Jiao was stunned, this successful man who dominated the business world also gave her a slight slap. trembling...

Obviously, this was the first time in his life that he had hit Qiao Jiao.

……

Qiao Jiao covered her face, her eyes full of hostility and anger, but she did not cry. She just said coldly to her father: "This slap of yours has destroyed our father-daughter relationship... From now on." , I will never go back to Qingdao again, just pretend you never gave birth to my daughter."

After saying that, Qiao Jiao pulled me out of the door. Her father just looked at her back, dazed and confused.

At this time, Qiao Jiao turned around and said to her father: "Before, I have always disagreed with you marrying that woman, and I was not willing for you to give her a status. Now you can marry her, and I will no longer object. , I hope she can make your wishes come true and give you an obedient and controllable child... Qiao Jiao will always be Qiao Jiao, and she will never live on the track laid by others. Although this track is safe, it is also It’s very depressing.”

Qiao Jiao's father looked pained, but Qiao Jiao no longer cared about his mood, and then pulled me and left the villa without looking back.

Until we left, we didn't figure out why her dad lived here.

……

seaside.

The rising sun has already begun to emerge at the end of the sea level. The air is filled with the unique smell of the seaside. The beach is covered with kelp and shells washed up by the sea. Qiao Jiao and I sat side by side on such a beach, watching the unpredictable changes. The morning glow fell, and we were silent together.

I'm still thinking about what happened in the villa, and I don't know if Qiao Jiao will regret her rash return to Qingdao and her rash decision to sell the house; now everything is in ruins, not only hers. plan, as well as the father-daughter relationship between her and her dad, and her once superior life. I saw her throw those bank cards to her dad with my own eyes, which means that she will be... She will live in the trouble of not having money. She personally extinguished the aura that had surrounded her for decades and that only the daughter of a wealthy family could have.

Qiao Jiao was playing with a colorful shell and suddenly burst into laughter. She laughed and shed tears. This made me a little overwhelmed. I had no way of knowing her current mood.

"Han Chao, I am finally completely free!"

"Ah."

"You just said yes, what do you mean?"

I lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, then squinted my eyes and replied, "You are indeed free, but you also broke your father's heart."

"I know he broke my heart too."

I am a person who is particularly bad at judging household matters, so I fell into silence with nothing to say. During this process, my mobile phone rang; this was a completely unfamiliar number, and the address showed that Luoyang, since it is Luoyang, is probably a small town under the jurisdiction of Luoyang.

My guess was correct. The other party was a courier from Xiaocheng SF Express. He said to me: "Are you Han Chao? A package has arrived. Are you at home now?" I really can't remember what I bought in the near future. After passing something, he replied: "Are you sure it's my express delivery? I don't seem to have bought anything online recently."

The other party smiled and replied: "If it wasn't your courier, I wouldn't have your phone number... I'm sure it's your courier."

Seeing that the courier boy was so sure, I put aside my doubts and replied: "I'm not at home now, please give me the property in the community."

"It's best not to leave it in the community property. This express delivery is insured. If it is lost, my salary for the past six months will not be enough to compensate."

"The price is guaranteed! What on earth is it?"

"It seems to be a suit of clothes. I bought it with an insured price of 3 yuan." After a short pause, the other party said: "I'd better leave this piece in the company first. When you come back, you can contact me and I will return it." Send it to you."

Only then did I suddenly remember that before leaving, Lu Xi had bought me a set of clothes for me to use for business occasions. Thinking of Lu Xi and what she had done for me, I felt an inexplicable surge in my heart. I felt warm for a while; but I don’t know why, when I inadvertently looked at Qiao Jiao next to me, I couldn’t think of Lu Xi in detail, including her appearance, her character, and what happened between us. Things, she seems to have become a totem in my spiritual world. I know that she is very important, but there is no way to pursue her. In contrast, Qiao Jiao is very real, she truly sits in my Around her, she was sad, saying bad things about her father, as well as her own unwillingness and grievances...

Just when I was in a daze, the courier guy on the other end of the phone thought I didn't hear him and asked again: "Can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you. I will go back tomorrow at the latest and I will contact you then."

The other party responded and then hung up the phone.

……

I was in a daze for a while, and then I finally said to Qiao Jiao next to me: "I think you and your dad are both strangers in each other's spiritual world. You really don't understand each other, especially what the other person really wants. What is it... What you want is freedom, but your dad thinks your freedom is a kind of wasteful hedonism; your dad wants you to live a stable life, but you think it is a perverted desire for control. "

"To say it means not to say it."

"Then I really don't know what to say."

"In the future...because of this incident, I have returned all the money to my dad. What do you think I should do with my bakery?"

I thought for a moment and replied: "The bakery matter is easy to solve... I still have 20 yuan borrowed from Xiao Chang... haven't you already bought all the equipment for making pastries and drinks? This 20 should be enough for you to build a glass house next to Shuanglong Lake."

Qiao Jiao looked at me and asked, "Are you really willing to use this 20 yuan to open a bakery for me?"

"When you arrive in a small town, the only person you can rely on is me... I can't bear to part with these 20."

"If this bakery fails to make money, I won't be able to repay Chang Yuli's 20 yuan."

"You don't have to pay it back, just settle the debt on me."

Qiao Jiao looked at me with some emotion. Suddenly, she took my arm, leaned against me, and said softly: "You know, I haven't had the courage to resist my dad all these years, just because I let him go." As much as the life he gave me, I still like money. After all, 90.00% of the desires in this world can be solved with money... But today, I really don’t seem to be so afraid, because there are still [-]% in this world. Ten desires cannot be bought with money...such as a sense of security...With you here, I am not afraid of anything...So, from now on, you are my best buddy and a comrade in the trenches. "

Before I had time to savor these words, Qiao Jiao reached into her handbag, took out the previous house book from it, held it up in front of me, and said with a smile: "Look, I returned everything." It was given to my dad, but this house will always be mine...because it was something my mom left to me. When my mom divorced my dad, she didn't ask for anything except to transfer the ownership of the villa. In my name... She did this because she was afraid that my father would treat me badly, so she gave me a backup plan, and now it really comes in handy!"
