I feed my entire legion by farming
Chapter 23 Repayment
Qiao Yan felt uneasy, and the momentum of the confrontation with the secretary just now subsided.
However, Cen Jia didn't intend to let the secretary go. He told him directly, "The old man said, you can go back."
Before the secretary withdrew, Cen Jia called him back and asked him, "Did you forget something?"
"..." The secretary was puzzled.
"Apologize to Qiao Yan."
The secretary is not convinced.
The smile on Cen Jia's face became much colder, "It's what the old man meant. Qiao Yan is from Qiao's family, and what about Qiao Chen is a matter between their brothers."
The secretary's face was ugly, and after taking a few breaths, he said to Qiao Yan, "I'm sorry. I was the one who neglected you just now."
Qiao Yan lowered her head and refused to make a sound.He doesn't want to forgive.
Cen Jia smiled, "Sure enough, he is a child of the Qiao family. He has a temper and a backbone."
"Go out! You don't need to ask about what Qiao hates in the future. So does Qiao Gucun."
"But sir..."
"The old man will tell him that this is not your business."
Although the secretary felt uncomfortable, she still withdrew.
Soon, only Qiao Yan and Cen Jia were left in the room.Qiao Yan raised her head to look at Cen Jia, with many doubts in her eyes.
Qiao Yan has never met his grandfather before, and the last instruction given to Mr. Qiao was to ask Qiao Gucun to raise Qiao Yan.
If there was anyone else in the Qiao family that he was grateful for besides Gu Yuan, it might be Mr. Qiao.Although it was Gu Yuan's plea, Mr. Qiao did spare his life.
Seeing Qiao Yan's doubts, Cen Jia first put the cup of warm milk into Qiao Yan's hand, and then slowly explained to him, "You are a grateful child. You can't interfere too much. But without their protection, Qiao Chen's temper, it would be difficult for you to grow up so big."
"I know." Qiao Yan lowered her head. For the Qiao family other than Qiao Gucun, Qiao Yan always felt that she couldn't hold her head up.Not because of inferiority complex, but because of guilt.
Cen Jia understood Qiao Yan's thoughts, couldn't help but also sighed, stroked Qiao Yan's hair and said warmly, "Yan Yan, I was the one who took care of your mother's funeral."
"Really?" Qiao Yan looked at Cen Jia in surprise.Cen Jia looks only in his 30s. 18 years ago, wasn't he just a teenager?
"When I was two years old, I was sent to Qiao Jin's side. You should have heard that I grew up in Qiao's old house. Back then, sister A Yuan led the way to the old house, and she returned it to me and Qiao Jin. Jin was a tutor for a year."
This was something Qiao Yan had never heard of before. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that Cen Jia would not say it.Qiao Yan knew that Cen Jia's own family broke up because of his illegitimate son and mistress, so Cen Jia must have hated him and disliked his mother.
Qiao Yan has always been self-aware.
However, Cen Jia took the initiative to talk about the past, "Janyan, what kind of person do you think your mother is?"
"Gentle and patient." Qiao Yan blurted out.
But Cen Jia shook his head, "No, Lu Youyou is a very paranoid and even a little lonely person."
Qiao Yan was very surprised, he thought of the photo at home, in which Lu Niaoyou smiled sweetly and brightly, which didn't match what Cen Jia said at all.
Cen Jia did not refute, but slowly talked about the past.
"She is very defensive. Except for Sister Ayuan and Ajing, I have hardly seen her smile at anyone. The day Sister Ayuan picked her up happened to be when Ajing was one year old. Sister Ayuan was coaxing her A Jing, who was crying in fright, anxiously asked the old housekeeper to help Lu Niao into the car and take her to the hospital. Later, after learning about Lu Niao's life experience, Sister A Yuan kept her by her side."
"Actually, you don't look very much like Lu Youyou, nor do you have a similar personality. The most similar thing is your grades. Lu Youyou is also a top student. She skipped a grade to go to university, and applied for a double degree in her sophomore year. Everyone else is busy like you Like a dog, she still has time to follow Sister A Yuan to carry equipment for her during the holidays, and accompany her to take pictures in the deep mountains and old forests during the winter and summer vacations. Qiao Gu Cun thought it was troublesome, but Lu Youyou was eager to do it. Even A Jing , Lu Youyou is also very good to him. So Ah Jing sometimes can't bear to be harsh on you, and he also thinks of Lu Youyou's kindness in the past."
"A Jing also has many difficulties."
"I know, I didn't blame him." Qiao Yan nodded, he remembered the light bulb that Qiao Jing once installed for him in the attic, it was one of the few warm lights in his memory.
Even now, thinking about it still makes him grateful.
And Cen Jia also opened up the chatter box, and slowly told Qiao Yan about many things that he hadn't said in the past and things he didn't want to recall, "Sister A Yuan is not tall, and Lu Youyou is half a head taller than her. But When acting like a spoiled child, she would roll herself into a ball and nestle in Sister Ayuan's arms and call her Sister." As if thinking of an interesting scene, Cen Jia stretched out his hand and gestured, "Can you imagine that you scolded me and Qiao Jin just a second ago? As a dog, Lu Niao, who is usually serious and cold to death, immediately turns into a little saccharine hanging on Sister A Yuan when she sees Sister A Yuan. She is so smart that no matter how many times she thinks about it, I feel that it is too much. Terrible!"
"Is she on good terms with Madam?"
"Well. From the day Sister Ayuan picked up Lu Niaoyou, they were almost inseparable. The reason why she smiled so brightly in the posthumous photo you printed out was because Sister Ayuan took that photo."
"I heard from Qiao Jin that she chose to join Qiao's company at the beginning, in fact, to pave the way for Qiao Jing in the future. When Ah Jing was a child... she was a little cry, soft-hearted and easy to be deceived. Lu Youyou said to Qiao Jin, Until Ah Jing can be alone, she will help him take care of his and sister A Yuan's property."
"We all said in private that what Sister A Yuan rescued was not a younger sister, but a little wolf dog who took care of the house. So the day the accident happened, Qiao Jin and I were like a dream. Because we didn't believe it, Lu Niaoyou would do such a thing. She valued Sister A Yuan more than her life, but in the end she almost killed her."
"But then I figured it out. Lu Niaoyou was desperate. Sister Ayuan was her last resort. When she was desperate, even though she knew what she was facing, she decided to come back to her. Because she knew that no matter what happened to her, Sister Ayuan will never give up on her."
Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then, she caused her..."
"Yes, but not." Cen Jia's eyes were a little red when he mentioned the past, "The car came too fast at that time, heading straight for Sister A Yuan, if it wasn't for Lu Niaoyou who pushed her away, it wouldn't have been a premature birth. It's one dead body and two dead."
"But it was indeed her death that made Sister A Yuan what she is now."
Qiao Yan nodded, "Thank you."
It was the first time he had heard a complete, derogatory and insulting thing about the past between his mother and his wife.
Cen Jia let out a long breath, and then asked Qiao Yan, "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Qiao Yan shook his head.
"When a gentleman lives in the world, it is important to be able to restrain oneself and return to the courtesy, and to benefit the time. This is the old man's favorite sentence in "Yan Shi's Family Instructions". It is also a sentence that the old man asked me to pass on to you before I came here this time." Cen Jia talked to Qiao Yan in a gentle voice, and at the same time talked about some things about the old house and Mr. Qiao.
Qiao Yan had never heard of this before, and for a while, he listened carefully, and his eyes focused on Cen Jia.Cen Jia also took the opportunity to look at Qiao Yan.
He always knew that Qiao Yan was good-looking.But it wasn't until today that he discovered that Qiao Yan was actually the best-looking child in the Qiao family's generation.Qiao Chen is exquisite and arrogant, Qiao Jing is handsome and calm, but they are not as good as Qiao Yan.
There is a natural warmth in Qiao Yan's body, like hiding the sunshine in his arms. It is not conspicuous at first glance, but when he gets close, he can feel the unique brilliance.Especially Qiao Yan's eyes, black and white are distinct, when he focuses on people, the reflection of the figure is reflected in the amber pupils, as if Qiao Yan pretended to be in his heart.
It's not sentimental, nor is it deliberately romantic, but a kind of seriousness that is almost stubborn.She looks very similar to Gu Yuan.
Cen Ya looked at Qiao Yan, and couldn't help feeling that Qiao Yan was more like Gu Yuan's child than Qiao Chen.Qiao Chen couldn't live up to Gu Yuan's original expectations, but Qiao Yan did everything.
If you can keep your heart, bear your sins, and don't bend your back, you are like a sunflower.
It's just a pity that such Qiao Yan lives in Qiao's house.
Seeing Qiao Yan finish drinking the milk, although Cen Ya couldn't bear it, she also started to talk about business.
He asked Qiao Yan, "Do you know what I came to see you for today?"
"I don't know." Qiao Yan also became cautious.
Cen Jia cut to the chase and told Qiao Yan what the old man said, "You stopped the car outside that day, but Qiao Jin actually greeted the old man that night. It was also the old man's order that Qiao Gu Cun will come back."
"Qiao Chen was beaten."
Qiao Yan was shocked, "Is Qiao Gucun?"
"Yes." Cen Jia sneered, "Qiao Chen is unscrupulous, he should have been taught a lesson long ago. But these are trivial matters, but do you know why the old man made such a move?"
Qiao Yan shook his head.In his memory, the old man didn't seem to treat him differently.
Cen Jia's tone also became serious, "The Qiao family needs useful people."
Qiao Yan was stunned.
"And if you want to keep your mother's dignity after death, begging Qiao Jing or threatening Qiao Gucun is better than begging the old man."
Joe is not stupid, he can tell a little bit, but he doesn't know what he has that is worthy of Mr. Joe's fancy.
"What should I do?" He asked the secretary urgently.
The secretary took out the transcripts of Qiao Yan's competitions over the years and put them in front of Qiao Yan.
"This investigation was in the hands of the old man last night."
"Your talent has a bright future in the academic circle. The Qiao family has its own scientific research institute. The director who has been in charge of this area has read your information and attaches great importance to it. He thinks you can take over his class. If you can continue to You are so outstanding and keep your duty, the old man will not let Qiao Chen drive you to a dead end."
"Qiao Yan, your background is not bright, your mother Lu Youyou owes the Qiao family, and you will never pay it back in your life. If you want her to go to the grave, you have to pay it yourself."
"From now on, if your name, your fortune, and your life belong only to the Qiao family, then your mother can also rest in peace. Do you understand what the old man means?"
