Yesterday's rain continued continuously until this morning, and the green leaves and budding flower stamens were quietly bathed in the baptism of rain.
The smoke was hazy, a little more sad than usual.
After putting Yi Qingchen and others on the plane and returning, Ittany's manor suddenly became extremely deserted.
"This is the little girl you adopted" Yi Shaojin was lying on the balcony, looking at the tall girl downstairs who was slowly walking from the gate holding a small flower umbrella.
"Well, it's the first day of school today, and I don't know how it went."
"You can really worry about it.
Her father was killed by Yi Qingchen's grandfather's people, and her mother hanged herself.
If you feel guilty, you can just give her some money and forget it.
How can you really raise her as your own child?"
Get up."
"No."
Chu Qiao had just coaxed her brother to sleep and gently put her into the delicate cradle.
"Originally, we planned to let her live on campus, but considering that she was not used to many things when she first came to Kyoto, so Just let her go to school for two days to get used to it.”
"You are born to worry about Wen Yi'an, not to mention your own two children.
Now it's good to get another one."
Yi Shaojin chattered endlessly.
"Okay, let's go down and take a look.
Yueyue is a good and good girl."
Chu Qiao whispered a few instructions to the confinement nanny who was waiting aside, and then she and Yi Shaojin quietly left the door of the baby room.
When the two went downstairs, Lin Yueyue was sitting in the living room doing homework.
There were two plates of snacks and a cup of steaming milk beside the small table.
"Yueyue is back."
As soon as she heard Chu Qiao's voice, Lin Yueyue quickly stood up and tried to look as respectful as possible like Wen Yi'an or Butler Lu.
"Aunt Chu."
Yi Shaojin next to Chu Qiao obviously didn't look so kind, which made Lin Yueyue feel a little uneasy, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at her, and lowered her head.
"Silly girl, just treat yourself like your own family.
There's no need to be so restrained."
"Um."
"This is Uncle Yi's sister-in-law, you can call her Aunt Yi."
Chu Qiao calmly pinched the somewhat absent-minded Yi Shaojin, who let out an "ouch", glared at her and walked straight to the sofa.
"Hello, Aunt Yi."
"Hello."
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face, let alone such a polite little girl.
In fact, it’s not that Yi Shaojin doesn’t like Lin Yueyue, it’s just that adopting a child brings a lot more responsibilities.
Chu Qiao is only in her early twenties.
I still have two babies to take care of, so it is inevitable that I will be overwhelmed.
"How was it at school today?
Are the classmates easy to get along with?"
Lin Yueyue pursed her lips and said softly: "Well, they are all very good."
In fact, her high-end clothes made her very popular among her classmates.
Chu Qiao gave her a lot of pocket money and bought her the latest iPhone.
Her generosity won the love of most people.
She is very satisfied with her performance in school today, and also likes the reaction of her classmates to her.
It feels so good, and it feels good to be rich.
"Aunt Chu, I want to live on campus starting tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Of course, I'm really happy that you can adapt to your new life so quickly."
Chu Qiao smiled and stroked her head, "You do your homework first, and I'll ask the maid to help you pack your luggage."
"No, Aunt Chu, I can just clean up myself."
Chu Qiao then thought about it, Lin Yueyue was in puberty now, and it was inevitable that she would be a little shy, so she said: "Okay, you can take care of it yourself.
If there is anything missing, just tell Butler Lu and he will help you arrange it."
"Well, thank you Aunt Chu."
"Mr.
Chu, I have some clues."
Wen Yian, who had not shown up at the manor since returning from the airport, suddenly came in.
When he saw Chu Qiao, an unconscious smile appeared on his stern face.
"Oh so fast" Chu Qiao was in a good mood immediately, and even Yi Shaojin on the side suddenly became energetic.
"Let's go, let's talk in the study" "No, I'll take you to a place now.
Sun Xiang is already there."
"That's okay."
Chu Qiao said a few words to Butler Lu, and then got into Wen Yi'an's car with Yi Shaojin.
The black car sped along, crushing the water on the road and causing countless splashes.
In an abandoned old factory, Chu Qiao met for the second time Manager Wei and his wife who had previously worked at Q Hotel, but now they were tied to the wall pillars and their clothes were stripped off. , Sun Xiang held a pair of red-hot iron pliers in his hand.
"Tell me where those three people are now.
Did Chu Yun send you here?"
"Auntie, don't be scared.
Once this stuff gets on it, it will turn into barbecue."
Manager Wei couldn't care less about his nakedness at this time and couldn't help but trembled.
Because of fear, his slightly fat face changed.
Very white.
"Mr.
Chu" Manager Wei and Sun Xiang almost said in unison when they saw Chu Qiao.
“How did you find it?”
Chu Qiao nodded towards Sun Xiang and asked Wen Yi'an beside him in a low voice.
"The man surnamed Wei received a call.
The other party used voice-changing software.
Our people were monitoring the call, so we recorded the conversation and restored the voice."
While Wen Yi'an was speaking, he pulled out a recording from his mobile phone and played it in front of everyone.
"Remember to get up early and take out the trash tomorrow morning.
The trash can at your door is full."
This was exactly what Wen Yi'an said.
The voice had been changed, and it could be vaguely heard that it was a woman's voice.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me.
If you still have garbage at home that needs to be taken out in the future, please come to me at any time.
I am unemployed now and rely on this to support my family."
When Manager Wei heard his own voice in the recording, he trembled obviously and hurriedly begged: "It's not like this, it's not like this.
Mr.
Chu, please listen to my explanation."
Chu Qiao smiled and raised her index finger at him, making a hissing gesture.
The changed female voice said again: "Well, you can rest assured about this, but you have to remember to take out the trash with your hands instead of your mouth, otherwise, your nosy mouth will disappear from your face."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, it's absolutely not the case.

I'm mute."
Chu Qiao took the tongs from Sun Xiang's hand and gently rubbed them twice on the wire that bound Manager Wei.
The wire was instantly burned red, and white smoke quickly rose from the place where the skin was tightly bound. , was burnt and turned black in a short while.
She played with it happily and had no intention of asking questions.
"This shape really looks like a little vest."
She raised the poker playfully and blew on it, "Tell me, what is going on with the waitress named Zhang Lulu?"
Although all the evidence showed how innocent Zhang Lulu was, the woman's self-consciousness still made her have doubts about her.
Manager Wei quickly shook his head, "I really don't know what's going on with her.
The task the other party gave me is to deliver the box to the engagement party safely.
As for the rest, I really don't know anything."
"Actually, it doesn't matter even if you don't say it.
Those three people will be found by us sooner or later.
As for Chu Yun, since you can't tell who instigated you, then I can only blame her for this matter.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if she has a lot of lice or not.”
"Mr.
Chu, it's not that I didn't tell you.
I really didn't know.
You heard it.
Every time the other party calls me, she does it anonymously, let alone letting me know her true identity."
Manager Wei's voice was filled with tears, and his wife kept crying beside her because she felt sorry for her husband.
Her sobs made people upset.
"Stop howling.
If you continue to howl, I will make you mute first."
Yi Shaojin didn't get a good rest last night, so he was naturally more irritable now.
Whenever he spoke, he was frightened into silence.
"Do you know what I hate most in my life?"
Chu Qiao handed the tongs back to Sun Xiang, and the latter put it back into the stove to burn it.
Seeing Manager Wei shaking his head, she sneered and said, "What I hate most in my life is betrayal.
Do you know that it doesn't matter whether you are willing to say it or not?
Or maybe even if you say it, I can't save you." , you caused such a thing on my territory, and gave such a big gift at our family’s engagement banquet, tell me, how should I repay you?”
"No, no, Mr.
Chu" Manager Wei instinctively wanted to step back, but his body was tied to the pillar and he couldn't move at all.
He kept begging and his body was shaking even harder.
"Please let my husband go.
He is innocent.
I forced him to do these things.
I was greedy and blinded by money.
If you want to kill me, then kill me."
"Do you think you can still live?"
Chu Qiao waved to Wen Yi'an, reached into his pocket and took out a handkerchief, and wiped the black stain on her hand from the tongs with disgust.
"I could have saved your life, but since you don't cherish it so much, forget it, Miss Sun."
She nodded towards Sun Xiang, "I'll leave it to you to deal with it yourself.
He is no longer an employee of my Q hotel.
You don’t have to worry about my face.”
"OK."

Sun Xiang grabbed the red-hot tongs again and walked step by step towards Manager Wei and his wife.
The red tongs that were emitting white smoke were a bit dazzling, which was thrilling to see.
"Mr.
Chu, please don't leave, I said, I said" Chu Qiao turned around and smiled, "It's too late."
When she turned around again, a burst of heart-rending screams suddenly came from behind her, followed by another one after another.
She paused, but finally didn't look back.
Yi Shaojin followed Chu Qiao into the car in confusion, "If we leave without getting any clues, wouldn't our trip be in vain?
If he wants to say something, why don't we wait for him to say it?"
"He didn't know, and he was just trying to trick us."
"How can you be so sure?"
Yi Shaojin became increasingly puzzled.
The car slowly drove out of the abandoned old factory and soon saw the sun again.
Chu Qiao opened the car window and breathed in the fresh air in the rain.
She suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"If he had known it, he would have said it earlier.
The couple has evil intentions and they are not people who would keep secrets for their employer.
After all, your own life is the most important thing.
What's more, you also heard the recording just now.
The other party's response The person surnamed Wei is obviously very vigilant, why should we waste time there?"
"So, we're going to waste time somewhere else."
Chu Qiao looked at Yi Shaojin with a smile, her eyes filled with deep meaning.
"Yi'an, is there any movement on Baodao recently?"
"It's very quiet.
Neither Chu Yun nor Su Wenlan has contacted us in Kyoto."
Wen Yi'an said respectfully: "Jiang Shaoxiu has flown to London this morning, and now those two women are the only ones left. , I guess it will be lively next time.”
"That's right, the storm will pass after a while, let's wait and see."
"There is another thing I want to tell you.
Because of Manager Wei's resignation, I promoted another one."
"who" Wen Yian smiled shyly, "Zhang Lulu."
Chu Qiao curled her lips and smiled meaningfully, "With you here, it really saves me a lot of trouble."
"Actually, I have found the whereabouts of those three people."
Wen Yi'an's words shocked Yi Shaojin who was sitting and taking a nap, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Hell, she was almost certain that the three people who kidnapped Sun Xiang's son were definitely the same group as the one who gave her a head at the engagement party, and this group should have the best chance of getting in touch with the mastermind behind the scenes.
As long as she finds them out, she will have to peel off their skins.
She dares to ruin her engagement party, and she must make them regret that his mother gave birth to him.
Chu Qiao patted the back of Yi Shaojin's hand, signaling her to calm down.
"Yian must have his reasons for doing this."
Wen Yi'an found a relatively open place and stopped the car.
He took out a bunch of photos from his briefcase and handed them to Chu Qiao, "Our people just took these photos.
These people are still in Kyoto." , it looks like he won’t be leaving in a short time, and he will probably look for opportunities to do something else, so I think as long as we keep them, the person behind the scenes will definitely contact them again.
As for Sun Xiang, I have no plans to tell her yet.
She is now blinded by hatred and has completely lost her mind.
This is very important to us.
It’s not a good thing, it might lead to bad things.”
"Well, good job, keep keeping an eye on them."

"Mr.
Chu, if Sun Xiang comes to the manor to look for you recently, you'd better pay attention."
Wen Yi'an's worries are not unfounded.
The tragic death of Sun Xiang's son has nothing to do with Chu Qiao.
However, now that Chu Qiao's family is safe and sound, it is inevitable that people will be jealous.
Jealousy has always been a poisonous snake of hatred.
One bite will cause it.
Will die.
"Yi'an is right.
This is what I wanted to say.
You must be on guard against others."
Yi Shaojin hurriedly chatted.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Chu Qiao has known Sun Xiang for so long, how could he not understand her?
She is indeed a little different today.
"Let's go to the Q Hotel.
I heard that a new chef with three Michelin stars has arrived.
Let's act as guinea pigs to try out what it tastes like."
"OK."
Wen Yi'an restarted the car, turned around and drove towards the city center.
"Why don't you call the little girl adopted by your family?"
Yi Shaojin crossed his arms and teased her playfully.
"Please put the word adoption out there.
The most they can do is live in our house temporarily.
The little girl is so pitiful.
What if she gets worried after hearing this?"
"Yi'an, look at your Mr.
Chu, he's so warm-hearted that he's almost as warm-hearted as the neighborhood committee aunt."
"Mr.
Chu is always a kind person."
This is Wen Yi'an's innermost thoughts.
If it weren't for Chu Qiao's kindness, I'm afraid he would never have met her in his life.
He was sincerely grateful for her kindness.
The raindrops outside the window were thin and dense on the spotless window glass, and then slowly slid down after gathering into a larger droplet.
Lin Yueyue lay quietly on the window sill, took several photos of her luxurious bedroom and shared them on her circle of friends.
After a while, they attracted many likes and messages from her classmates.
Yueyue, your home is so beautiful Rich man, please support me.
When can you invite me to your house?
How about having a party on the weekend?
She raised her lips proudly and deleted all the photos and comments.
After refreshing several times, a new message suddenly appeared in the circle of friends, which was from Chu Qiao.
In the photo, she, Wen Yi'an and Yi Shaojin were sitting around an extremely elegant European-style long dining table, which was full of beautiful things.
There are at least dozens of dishes.
Her original good mood suddenly dissipated without a trace.
Just now I thought they were going out to do errands, but unexpectedly they were going to have a big dinner, and they left her alone at home.

Was this because they disliked her?
Especially when she enlarged the photo and saw the Q Hotel logo printed on the tableware, her face became extremely gloomy.
I heard from my classmates that this is the top hotel chain in the world and a landmark building in Kyoto.
They actually didn't take her to this high-end place.
"Miss Yueyue, dinner is ready."
Outside the door, Butler Lu's calm voice suddenly came.
She stood up slightly impatiently, "I know, come down now."
When she opened the door, she still had that humble and polite smile on her face, "Grandpa Lu, aren't Aunt Chu and the others coming back for dinner?"
"Madam just called and said she won't be back for dinner tonight."
"oh."
Butler Lu heard about Lin Yueyue's life experience from Chu Qiao, and he couldn't help but sympathize with the girl.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, he comforted her and said, "Madam has a party tonight, I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot for you.
You like it."
Something to eat.”
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."
Lin Yueyue sneered secretly in her heart.
Talking about socializing, it was just three people going out to have a big dinner.
Who cares about the food cooked by their own chef?
Going to Q Hotel to eat is the most honorable thing.
When Chu Qiao and others return, Ittany Manor, the sky has already darkened.
As soon as Butler Lu saw Chu Qiao entering, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the coat and handbag from her.
"Where's Yueyue?"
"Miss Yueyue is doing homework in her room right now.
The little girl is probably afraid of being alone.
She didn't eat much dinner without you."
"It's okay, I brought her some snacks."
Wen Yi'an was about to hand the snack box in his hand to Butler Lu and ask him to deliver it to Lin Yueyue, but Chu Qiao took it and said, "I'll go, she will live on campus starting tomorrow, I'll go and ask if there is anything else Is there anything missing?
By the way, have you applied for the card I asked you to apply for?"
Wen Yi'an hurriedly took out an ID card and a bank card from his briefcase and handed them to Chu Qiao.
"One hundred thousand" "Are you going crazy?"
Yi Shaojin snatched the bank card away.
Without even thinking about it, this must be for that Lin Yueyue.
"Five thousand."
"Five thousand."
Chu Qiao frowned in confusion, "What else can you do with five thousand dollars these days?"
"The monthly living expenses of a child who lives in another school is about 3,000 yuan, including food, clothing, and transportation.
You have already taken care of her daily necessities.
The 5,000 yuan is just for food and transportation.
It is enough no matter what.
I still say the same Don’t be arrogant.”
"That's right, what do you think of one hundred thousand?"
Yi Shaojin rolled his eyes at her displeasedly, "Although it's okay for you to spoil your children, and it's right for girls to be rich, but you can't go from hell to heaven in one step, right?
, if the difference is too big, it may not be a good thing, so we have to proceed step by step.”
Chu Qiao smiled and looked at the two people who were talking sincerely, "You two said the same thing, I just don't have any idea about money."
"It's all because of Yi Qingchen."

"It's all because of Mr.
Yi" "Okay, stop staring at me like that.
I understand.
From now on, I'll leave all Yueyue's affairs to Yi An and Ouba, okay?"
She smiled ingratiatingly and pulled out the bank card from Yi Shaojin's hand. , "I'll go upstairs and give her some snacks first, you two can do it yourself."
"Yueyue."
Chu Qiao was holding the snack box in one hand and the ID card and bank card that Wen Yi'an had just applied for for Lin Yueyue in the other hand.
She could only bang her head against the door.
"Aunt Chu, you are back."
"Well, here, this is the snack I brought back specially for you.
It tastes good."
She placed the snack box on Lin Yueyue's desk, "Everything is sorted."
"Well, it's all taken care of."
"You're so good.
Uncle Wen helped you apply for an ID card and a bank card.
From now on, Auntie will pay your monthly living expenses to your card.
If it's not enough, just tell Auntie."
Lin Yueyue stood there embarrassedly, reaching out to take the ID card but not the bank card.
"No, Aunt Chu, you have helped me a lot.
I told my classmates yesterday that they said they would introduce me to a very good part-time job, and I haven't received the pocket money you gave me this morning.
It’s enough.”
"Hey, take it.
You are just a freshman in high school now.
It is the time when you need to work and study.
Don't think too much about anything else.
When you go to college, if you want to do a part-time job to gain experience, your aunt will not object. , but not now.”
Chu Qiao put the bank card back into her hand, "Study hard.
I believe your mother will be comforted when he sees you succeeding."
Lin Yueyue suddenly lowered her eyes and clenched her hand holding the bank card tightly.
Why, why did she mention her parents in front of her?
She had tried so hard to forget them and told herself that she had been the richest lady in this manor since she was born.
Why?
"I'm sorry, Yueyue."
Chu Qiao saw that she suddenly became silent and thought she was mentioning the child's sadness, "Auntie didn't mean it."
"It's okay, Auntie, you are right, I will try my best."
She must become a master The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Chu Qiao took it out and saw that it was Yi Qingchen, her watery eyes suddenly became extremely gentle.
"arrive"
"Well, I just got off the plane and now I'm in the car."
"It's a good idea for you to leave now.
You've taken everyone away, and the house has become deserted."
There was a hint of resentment in his lazy tone, and the man on the other end of the phone smiled, "My silly bride, you can come to London as soon as grandpa's birthday party is over."
"Well, I know, I just miss you a little bit."
Although Yi Qingchen just left the house in the morning, in Chu Qiao's heart, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Occasionally doing something, all she thought about was him.
