i'm not a bad man

Chapter 277 Everything is Changing

Qiao Jiao seemed to be speaking from the bottom of her heart, with tears glistening in her eyes; this was the first time she had done this in the time we had known each other. Before that, I once thought she was a person without tears, even though She also has pain, and those pains will disappear in the playfulness, but at this moment, she showed a different self in front of me, which made me a little uncomfortable, so that I forgot to think about it for a moment, just so stunned. Looking at her...

In the end, Qiao Jiao did not let the tears in her eyes fall. After wiping them away with the back of her hand, she fell into silence. Only then did I regain my ability to think, and then I wondered: In what way did I save her? ?

Just when I was about to speak, there was a sudden flash of light outside the car window, and then there was a knock on the car window. Qiao Jiao and I turned to look at the same time. It was a traffic policeman standing outside the car window. The trance-like flash came from For the warning lights on his motorcycle...

After I opened the window on my side of the car, he asked, "What's going on with your car?"

I was a little speechless. If I told the truth, I would inevitably be scolded by him. If I made up a lie...it's not that I can't make up a lie, but when I was thinking about it, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten the feeling of lying.

Qiao Jiao spoke before me. She said to the traffic police: "We had a fight. When he was distracted, the car lost control."

Sure enough, the traffic policeman's face turned ugly, and he said sternly: "You young people really have no sense of social responsibility at all. Have you thought about the consequences of not controlling your emotions? It's thanks to the fact that there is no one on the sidewalk. If there were pedestrians, this disaster would But it’s a big deal!”

"Yes, I will accept whatever punishment you want..." After a short pause, Qiao Jiao said again: "Punish me, it's because I didn't let him control his emotions..."

After saying that, Qiao Jiao took out her driver's license from her bag and asked the traffic police to deduct points from her. Her eagerness to be punished made me a little confused. At least I haven't heard of any traffic regulations that say quarreling. Points would be deducted, but her positive attitude of admitting her mistake calmed the traffic policeman's anger. He took Qiao Jiao's driver's license and took a look at it, then gave it back to Qiao Jiao and said: "Fine and deduct points." None of this is the purpose. As traffic police, what we want most is your awareness of safe driving. This time, we will give you a verbal warning. Don’t make the same mistake again in the future. While you are responsible for yourself, you must also be responsible for others."

Qiao Jiao apologized again.

The traffic policeman asked again: "Are you two okay?"

Qiao Jiao and I both said that there was nothing wrong with us. The traffic police then determined that this was a bicycle accident and helped us contact the insurance company. After the insurance company took photos and collected evidence, this unexpected episode ended. Everything returned to calmness, including our emotions.

……

This kind of scratch did not affect the driving of the vehicle. I continued to drive towards the highway. Qiao Jiao also fell into silence. When I drove the car to the "Jiaozhou Bay Bridge", she seemed to have leaned on her chair. She fell asleep on her back, and while she was breathing softly, the car was like a sharp arrow, quickly shortening the distance between us and the small town...

The short trip to Qingdao ended like this; during this period, it seemed that a lot of things happened, and it seemed like nothing happened; at least, I knew that Luxi was in Qingdao, but I didn’t choose to meet her, and I didn’t know about her. Why did I return to Qingdao? I always felt a little abnormal and abrupt.

……

In the middle of the night, Qiao Jiao replaced me with driving. Even though I was exhausted, I couldn't feel sleepy in the passenger seat. So I took out my phone and watched short videos to relieve boredom...

Everything around me is changing, including Zuo Xiaowei. I suddenly came across her video. In the video, she announced that she would officially enter the entertainment industry with her latest album. This video received hundreds of thousands of likes. , and there are tens of thousands of comments... She was originally just a little-known bar singer, and she was not so popular. The reason is that there are several popular celebrities and big Internet celebrities supporting her in this video... Of course It is the power of capital, and the capital behind Zuo Xiaowei must also be Guan Yubo.I suddenly felt that the past between me and Zuo Xiaowei was not so difficult to let go, because this is the path Zuo Xiaowei should really take. She will definitely become a very famous singer, and Guan Yubo will also There are faint signs of becoming the richest man in the small town. Guan Yubo is helping her now. When she becomes popular, she will definitely support Guan Yubo's career. This is what people often call a perfect match...

As for me, I have to work hard. For two people who have been together, the purpose of separation must be for a better life, so when Zuo Xiaowei is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, I cannot fall behind... …

In fact, I am not as lonely as I thought. At least I have Qiao Jiao beside me. She is willing to be the woman behind me and go hand in hand with me. I am not lonely mentally either, because I still have encouragement from Lu Xi. and expectations, the set of clothes she gave me for business occasions is the best proof...

Thinking of that set of clothes, my mood to return to the small town seemed to become more urgent again.

……

After returning to the small town from Qingdao, my world seemed to be in a state of rapid rotation.Over in Qingdao, the latest news came from Ba Xiaoguang. The elite construction team dispatched by Chang Tianming has arrived in Qingdao and will be able to complete the merger with Ba Xiaoguang and his original team in the afternoon. If the cooperation goes well, the construction team will be The original estimated construction period was shortened by one month.

Isn't this what I dreamed of when I was in Qingdao...

I finally used another way to repay Ren Ran for all his contributions to me. If there is any regret between us, it must be the pair of lost bracelets. I don’t know whose hands these bracelets are now. superior?When necessary, I will definitely look for the whereabouts of this pair of bracelets in person, not only to recover the loss, but also to solve the mystery.

At noon, news came from Cong Lei. She said that Lin Sheng'en had agreed to Ren Ran's divorce request and given 6000 million in cash compensation, and the villa where they had lived would also be transferred to Ren Ran. .

I don’t know what means Cong Lei used. To me, it doesn’t seem to matter. As long as Renran can regain his freedom and receive reasonable compensation, I have achieved my goal. At this moment, I really want to Chat with Ren Ran to hear her current mood, but Ren Ran is on a flight from Qingdao to Sanya, and I can’t contact her for a while...

Before letting her go to Dali to relax, I never thought that Cong Lei would act so quickly and efficiently.

……

In the afternoon, I put on the business suit given to me by Luxi and set out to solve the biggest problem at present. I wanted to represent the Danangou Scenic Area and regain the trust of the investors. The place where we met was still We chose Shuanglong Lake in the scenic spot. Shuanglong Lake has special meaning for both of us, because the bonfire party that we regarded as the starting point started from Shuanglong Lake.

Just when I was getting ready, Liu Chuang, who was far away in Qingdao, suddenly called me. He said that Qiao Jiao had entrusted him and his agency to sell her sea-view villa, and said that if the transaction could be completed quickly, If so, she is willing to make the biggest concession on price.

This is another change, but I can’t tell whether it is a good change in Qiao Jiao’s and my life. The only thing I can be sure of is that Qiao Jiao is really determined to be the woman behind me. , she has gone further and further on the desperate road, but she is getting closer and closer to my heart...
