Chapter 51: The Devil

When Second Sister Qiao came home again, she was still alone.

Mrs. Qiao and Qiao's mother were a little upset that Qiao's second sister had been married and had children for over a year, and had never seen her second son-in-law, let alone her grandchildren, except once when she got married.

Qiao Er Sister said vaguely that because her husband was too busy and the children were taken care of by a nanny, she didn't have the heart to tell Mrs. Qiao and Qiao's mother that her husband was not interested in her family at all, so she didn't want to come here at all, and didn't want Qiao's mother to see the children.

Qiao second sister did not say, Qiao old lady also heard out, suddenly some angry, she did not mind the second son-in-law is almost forty years old, he is minded that their family is poor.

Qiao didn't want to listen to the old lady's incessant bickering, so she answered the call and went to talk to Qiao's mother, then ran to Qiao Lan's room to take a look, and saw that the room was full of unused things, and Qiao realized that something was wrong, "Where's Lao San?"

Qiao Er Sister comes back so few times a year that she doesn't even know that Qiao Lan has been away from home for more than half a year.

After half a year, Qiao's mother's anger towards Qiao Lan slowly subsided, and she didn't go into too much detail, mainly because she didn't want Qiao Yuan to know that Qiao Yuan was stealing money from her family, so she simply told Qiao Lan that she was living in the school.

Second Sister Qiao didn't think too much of it, she knew Qiao Lan's grades were very good now, and she just assumed that it was for Qiao Lan's convenience to study.

"I've got things to do to find her specifically," Joji said, a little disappointed.

"What can I do with her," Qiao's mother said, deflating her mouth.

Second Sister Qiao let out a "tsk", "You asked me to ask Lao San about him, so I've got some news."

Qiao's mother is now coming on, suddenly excited, "Is that the one you said last time that the family still has a few houses to be demolished?"

"Not that", Qiao Er Sister waved her hand, did not tell Qiao's mother, when the man said Qiao Lan, the results of the man actually do not see, but also said in a roundabout way that Qiao Er Sister uneducated sisters at home may be the same as her, angry Qiao Er Sister behind the back of the man scolded for a month.

"The last one is not good, those demolition of the second generation of the family a bit of money can not find the southeast and north and west, to find or have to find those and economic mind, both can make money and money. I just gave the old three said than last time that much better, his parents are also open restaurant, age is not big only twenty-five, looks although not particularly handsome, but also humanoid, height is quite high, a lot of inquiring about him, I was not easy to catch up with the conversation, fat water flow outsiders, good or to the family to keep."

Qiao's mother is getting happier and happier.

Listening to the second sister of Qiao said that this young man's family is only him, the only son, the family conditions are not inferior to the second son-in-law.

"Originally thought Qiao Lan in the I directly ask good, some day to make an appointment to meet, mom why did not you tell me Qiao Lan live in the school, how can I explain to the people, the oldest three was not good conditions, the delay may not have a chance to go to the delay."

"Qiao's mother is tough this time, "Qiao Lan's grades are very good now, she looks better than you, etc. Yuan Er got me a picture last time."

He took out his cell phone and flipped through it a few times to find a photo Qiao Yuan had saved from the posting bar. On the photo, Qiao Lan was wearing the leader's uniform, and both her body and looks were first class.

Second Sister Qiao held her cell phone and looked at it for a long time before sighing, "Little half a year has gone by without seeing Lao San actually so out of the ordinary, why didn't I see this potential before."

The more you look at it, the prettier it gets, and it's so pretty it makes Second Sister Joe jealous.

Since she married her current husband, she had never seen any beautiful women, but she had never seen one as beautiful as Qiao Lan.

Originally thought Qiao Lan grows quite a lot of not much advantage, did not expect now Qiao Lan change so much, Qiao second sister instantly happy with Qiao's mother said, "Then you give Qiao Lan a moment to make a phone call, let Qiao Lan take a time to come out to see a see a see."

Qiao's mother agreed.

This is a good thing, and a great thing, Qiao Lan is heartless, she still wants to get her such a good son-in-law, Qiao's mother doesn't believe that Qiao Lan can still be so ungrateful.

After Qiao's mother left, Qiao's mother started to contact Qiao Lan, but she still didn't have Qiao Lan's contact information, and the phone number of the homeroom teacher she had saved in the past was useless now, because Qiao Lan was already a senior.

Qiao's mother scolded Qiao Lan for a long time, and when Qiao Yuan came back in the evening, she asked Qiao Yuan to go to Qiao Lan's class tomorrow and ask Qiao Lan to come home, saying that there is something good.

Qiao Yuan was curious and asked Qiao's mother what was so good, but Qiao's mother didn't tell Qiao Yuan to stay out of it as a child.

Qiao Yuan was reluctant, but Qiao's mother gave him a hundred dollars, and Qiao Yuan agreed.

The next morning, just after the morning exercise, Qiao Lan and Bai Yu were walking back from the playground when they heard someone calling her name behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Qiao Yuan, who had become a pile of weight.

Qiao Lan's brows instantly furrowed at the sight of Qiao's family, and when she saw that Qiao Yuan was followed by several young boys, she was even more annoyed.

Qiao Yuan took two steps to catch up with her, she had never called her sister before, but this time, in front of the class, she called her sister in an affectionate manner, and Qiao Lan felt that she had goosebumps all over her body.

Turning her head, she asked Bai Yu to wait for her, then turned around and asked Qiao Yuan what she wanted.

Qiao Yuan proudly turned back to his brothers and lifted his chin before he said to Qiao Lan, "Mom said for you to come home this week, she said she has something for you."

"What is it."

"I don't know," Qiao Yuan said, "Mom said it was good anyway."

Qiao's family people can be good for anything.

Qiao Lan lazily ignored Qiao Yuan again, "There is something to talk about, if you can't talk about it, forget it, I still have something to do on the weekend, I don't have time to go back."

Who knows if she'll ever come back. Qiao's family is a quagmire for her.

Qiao Yuan didn't expect Qiao Lan to be so difficult to talk to, and subconsciously wanted to bully Qiao Lan just like before, but when she looked at Qiao Lan's beautiful appearance now, and the boys in her class at school who couldn't hide their admiration when they talked about Qiao Lan, she was suddenly a bit scared, and she could only look at Qiao Lan walking away.

He thought that he had already brought his words anyway, and it was Qiao Lan's business to listen or not, who let his mother not make things clear, and he didn't know exactly what he was looking for from Qiao Lan.

Although he was angry with Qiao Lan, when he went back, his "brothers" exclaimed that he really knew Qiao Lan, and listening to the envious voices of the crowd, Qiao Yuan felt relieved again.

Bai Yu waited for Qiao Lan to come back and said, "I saw this little fat guy last time, and here he is again this time, who is it."

"My brother."

"Kiss my brother!"

Bai Yu expressed his shock.

Look at Qiao Lan, and then look at that little fatso, he looks like he was born by the same mother, it's like a world apart.

Xiang Xiaohan at the back looked at this side from afar, she now hardly played with the class, but with the two girls who are very close to the rest of the class quite familiar, especially the two dormitory girls, now walk with them.

A girl casually said, "Isn't that Qiao Lan's brother?"

"How do you know that's Qiao Lan's brother?"

"Qiao Lan's parents run a small restaurant in front of the school, I've been there a few times and I often see that little fat guy", a girl explained.

"Then Qiao Lan's family's conditions are quite average", someone said, smiling after saying that, "Maybe it's because Qiao Lan's grades are so good and pretty, I subconsciously think her family's conditions are especially good too."

Xiang Xiaohan interjected conspiratorially, "If her family was well off, why would she need to hook up with a disabled person."

The girls who are quite close to Xiang Xiaohan were shocked, and hurriedly pushed Xiang Xiaohan to tell her not to talk nonsense, but in the end, they couldn't help pulling her back, Xiang Xiaohan has been talking about Qiao Lan as if she was holding back her strength, and even they felt that Xiang Xiaohan was targeting Qiao Lan.

But Xiang Xiaohan never said why.

Qiao Lan saw a handmade mural created by a foreign master one day. At first, Qiao Lan just thought the mural was beautiful, but then she suddenly had an idea.

She specialized in running around a lot and finally got the materials she wanted for her handmade mural.

The final graphic made for this mural is a lucky straw.

The pattern is very simple, but the production is still a little difficult, is to use the thread one by one hook into the pattern, the production process is very delicate, but the finished product is very beautiful.

The four-leaf clover leaves are somewhat three-dimensional and textured at first glance.

Tan Mo never told Qiao Lan what he wanted for his birthday. The lyrics of the song say that it's only once, but he didn't dare to ask for it even once, because he was afraid that just once would make Qiao Lan suspect something and realize something.

He sat on the couch, clearly in the mood for his birthday, but not really in the mood.

On the TV, Uncle Chen was playing random movies. Ever since Qiao Lan told him to go to the movies when he had time, Uncle Chen bought a lot of movies and played them for him every now and then.

He likes suspenseful movies, which are interesting to him, such as Inception, Twelve Angry Men, etc. Uncle Chen will also play his favorite movies according to his preference.

But today, the movie Uncle Chen is showing is a romance.

He didn't want to see it, because since he understood the meaning of "love", it had brought too much pain, and he felt more pain.

But this movie is unexpectedly warm, some once fantasized, extravagant dreams of beauty are hooked up little by little, so that he is a little reluctant to turn off.

This movie is really warm, there are no waves of ups and downs, from beginning to end is full of warmth and affection, the hero of the movie gently hold the heroine's hand, he carefully lowered his head to kiss on her fingers, pious like a religious person.

They touch, hug, and finally kiss, and Tan Mo suddenly turns off the TV.

He didn't want to see it again.

He closed his eyes shamefully, because in that moment just now, he thought of Qiao Lan.

He wanted uncontrollably to embrace her, to just take her hand and kiss her fingers, her cheek, even her lips, sacredly and earnestly.

There are never-before-seen thoughts that, once started, are like a crazy tide that can't be controlled by the mind at all, and the more you try to stop the crazier it gets.

"With a click, someone opened the door and Tan Mo opened his eyes, only to see the familiar face that he couldn't stop thinking about in his mind, Tan Mo was slightly stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses in a flash, as if he had just reacted to what he had done.

He stiffens and watches Qiao Lan approach, then gleefully takes a black board from behind his back and turns it over to reveal a four-leaf clover of finely braided thread.

"Lucky Straw, my handmade birthday gift, Tan Mo, I can't think of what you want, so let's give you Lucky Straw, may all your wishes all come true."

The girl smiled like a flower, so pretty and clean.

And what one moment before one was thinking.

Tan Mo feels like a dirty pervert, a devil who is trying to drag angels off the territory.

Really, dirty.
