Cen Jia's words hit Qiao Yan hard in the heart.Compared with Qiao Gucun, Mr. Qiao is a real patriarch.Qiao Yan has heard many things about him, the most of which is how he killed and decisively pushed the Qiao family to its current height.

Even Qiao Jing once said to Qiao Chen, "Grandpa doesn't value the blood but the family. He wants the Qiao family to continue to prosper."

Thinking of this, Qiao Yan already had a vague guess, but he still stubbornly asked the secretary for confirmation, "What do you mean?"

Cen Jia also patiently explained to Qiao Yan, "Look at your plan, you also want to go to the academic circle through studying, right? Going to be a professor at a university to do scientific research, and to do scientific research for the Qiao family, is actually just a different place of work, isn't it? ?"

"Then can I take my mother to me?" Qiao Yan asked tentatively.

Cen Jia looked at Qiao Yan and suddenly couldn't bear it, but Yuan Fang still said what the old man told him without moving. "If you can reach the height required by the old man, the old man will allow you to worship her once a year."

So, what the old man meant was to let him go back to Qiao's house.Unlike Qiao Gucun's insistence on driving him away, the old man seemed to be planning to recycle and transform him, turning him from a tainted illegitimate child into a useful nourishment for the Qiao family.

His fame, his fortune, and his life belonged only to the Qiao family, which actually meant that Qiao Yan's future achievements and future, including his death, would all be in the Qiao family.

And the promise made by the Qiao family is to hold his mother Lu Niaoyou hostage in the hands of the helm of the Qiao family.Only when he is obedient can he worship, if he is disobedient, the end may not be much better than falling into Qiao Chen's hands.

Qiao Yan lowered her head, carefully pondering what Cen Jia said, tearing apart every word to think about it.In the end, he only came to a conclusion, if he wanted to live, if he still kept his mother, then he would live in Qiao's house forever until his last effort was exhausted.And in the past 18 years, all the futures he designed and the dreams he dreamed up were just dreams.

But if he didn't agree, he didn't dare to think about what was waiting for him.

"Is there no other choice?" Qiao Yan looked at Cen Jia.

There was pity in Cen Jia's eyes, he patted Qiao Yan's head, "Not anymore, but Ah Yan, listen to me, there is always a turning point in life."

Qiao Yan pursed her lips, "Will you find her a quiet place?"

Cen Jia nodded, "I will."

"Then, Qiao Chen will go..."

"Not anymore."

"If I can do well, can I still see her in the future?"

"Yeah." Cen Jia couldn't help but red eyes, the young man in front of him was isolated and helpless, although his eyes were red, but the tears seemed to be drained, without any moisture.

He knew he had crossed the line, but he still hugged Qiao Yan.

"Don't feel bad, Ah Yan, people's hearts are made of meat. The old man is not such a hard-hearted person. You are good-natured and smart. If you stay by his side for a long time, how can the old man not love you?"

"Besides, there are many things that need to be made for Ah Jing and Qiao Chen."

"You are wronged, we are all watching. Even if there is no old man, Qiao Jin and I will protect you in the future. We are also your elder brothers."

Qiao Yan shook her head and gently pushed him away. "Please tell Mr. Qiao and Mr. Qiao that I will work hard. I will bring back the winning trophy in this national competition."

"My mother, I'll leave it to you." Qiao Yan bowed deeply to Cen Jia.Solemnly and desperately.

Cen Jia looked at him, Qiao Yan didn't cry, but Cen Jia felt that the current Qiao Yan might die in pain.But he didn't need any consolation either.

After the agreement was reached, Qiao Yan agreed to go back to Qiao's house with Cen Jia.He sent the driver the location of the small hotel where he kept his luggage, and Cen Jia escorted him into the car, then turned back to the old house and reported to the old man.

"Don't worry, the servants from the old house are here with you and will help you pack your luggage. Then I'll pick you up after you've packed up." Cen Jia told Qiao Yan standing outside the car door.

Qiao Yan nodded, then leaned back on the seat in a daze.

On the way back, Qiao was tired of being empty, his sight was not in focus, but his head was also empty, and he had no ability to think.When they arrived at the small hotel, Qiao Yan looked at the luggage on the ground, and then suddenly regained his senses.

Before the servants from the old house came, Qiao Yan squatted down and tidied up by himself.In addition to giving a little bit of cat climbing frame, cat litter box, cat litter and cat food, his own things are actually nothing big.The four seasons add up to less than ten sets of clothes.The thick winter coat was still wet, hanging by the bed, and the sleeves were covered with black ash.

The sheets he sewed with his own hands looked even more cheap after they were crumpled.The storage box made of two cardboard boxes has been deformed due to extrusion, and the small bits and pieces contained in it have also fallen out.The sewing box was crushed, the thimbles were warped, and the tape measure came apart.Mixed with pencil ink, the white silk thread was also dyed other colors.

It's all in pieces, and it seems to be useful when it's placed in a rental house.But now it looks like a piece of garbage.Joe hated to throw them all away, but in the end he couldn't do it.Instead, sit down and patiently classify them bit by bit.Then stick the storage box with glue and white paper,

He asked the owner of the small hotel for a few large cardboard boxes, and then carefully packed them one by one and sealed them up.

Reluctantly hugging the suitcase in his arms, Qiao Yan knew that perhaps in the eyes of others, these things were not mentioned all the time, or even had no value.But for him, this is his short dream, and it is also all the efforts he has made in the past.

Even in vain.

Qiao was stunned for a while, and soon the phone rang.

"Second young master, the old man asked us to help you move." On the other end of the phone was a very young man's voice, very brisk, which made people feel good.

If it was normal, Qiao Yan would be willing to chat with him, but today he was feeling too depressed and tired, so he just agreed and hung up the phone.

About 5 minutes later, there was a knock on the door of his room, and Qiao Yan opened it. To his surprise, it was the old housekeeper who came with the servant.

Qiao Yan habitually wanted to call out to the housekeeper, but in the end there was only silence.

The old butler didn't say a word, but just ordered the people who came with him to help Qiao Yan carry the things into the car.

"Just such a small fortune?" That person should be a newly hired servant from the Qiao family. He heard that he was here to pick up a young master from the Qiao family, so he came here on his own initiative.Of the generation of the Qiao family, Qiao Jin is serious and Qiao Jing is calm, but the remaining few, including Qiao Chen, are generous regardless of their personalities. He originally thought it was a good job.

However, the pick-up place had already shocked him, and he didn't expect that Qiao Yan's luggage was even more pitiful.Looking at Qiao Yan's appearance, he swallowed many words and questions.

And the old butler didn't say much.

Along the way, the car was extremely quiet. When they arrived at the old house, the old housekeeper got out of the car first, and then opened the car door for Qiao Yan.

Seeing Qiao Yan's silence, the old butler finally spoke up, "Qiao Yan, I'll send you here. From now on...be careful in the future."

"Mr. Qiao..." After thinking for a while, the old housekeeper still couldn't get over the pain and intolerance in his heart, and whispered to Qiao Yan, "It won't do you any harm to stay with him."

Joe Yan nodded.After hesitating for a while, he went to the trunk and handed the carefully guarded flower pot to the old housekeeper.

"Just take it as a small matter...to make amends to my sister. I have nothing else. If you don't like it, just find a roadside and put them down, and you can live with soil."

The old butler took it over. He really wanted to explain the cup to Qiao Yan, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Thank you very much." Qiao Yan glanced at the old housekeeper again, and then followed the Qiao family into the old house.

Qiao Yan knew that after he took this step, there would be no Qiao Yan in the future, and only Qiao Yan from the Qiao family would survive.But for the sake of his mother, Qiao Yan still walked firmly.At this moment, the confusion when she agreed to Cen Jia, and the pain when she packed her luggage alone, were all forgotten by Qiao Yan at this moment.

When you have no choice, choose actively.As long as he moves forward, even if he can't see what the future holds, he will always find his place to stay.What's more, with his mother, he is no longer alone.

And behind Qiao Yan, the old butler looked at his back, feeling as if he was being pricked by a needle. He could see clearly that in Qiao Yan's eyes, the original longing for the light was like a flame that was about to go out, getting weaker and weaker. .

But Qiao Chen will never let him go in this life. If Mr. Qiao is willing to protect him, it will be the best ending for Qiao Yan.

The place that Mr. Qiao arranged for Qiao Yan was completely different from the attic in the past, and it was quite the pomp of the young master of the Qiao family.There is a separate bathroom, cloakroom, and even a large terrace. Qiao Yan opened the window, and a sunflower was planted on the terrace.Most are red.Even the color of the soft furnishings in the room was very similar to the small single room that Qiao Yan had arranged by himself.

It can be seen that old man Qiao's intentions for Qiao Yan are also a warning, which represents the absolute control of old man Qiao over Qiao Yan.Qiao Yan's every move was under his watchful eyes.

Qiao Yan will not have second thoughts about the Qiao family in the future.

Qiao Yan took a deep breath. His favorite color in the past was like a prison for him at the moment.

"Second Young Master, did you put the things you brought back in the utility room first?" The servant knocked on the door and came in.

Qiao Yan was taken aback because of the address, and nodded belatedly, "Let's put it in the utility room."

"Think about it," Qiao Yan said again, "Don't call me Second Young Master in the future."

"What's that called?"

"Just call Qiao Yan!"

Several servants felt inappropriate.Cen Jia, who just came back, probably understood what Qiao Yan was thinking, and signaled them to do as Qiao Yan said in the future.

Everyone in Yishui went out, and only Cen Jia was left in the end.He looked at Qiao Yan, and told Qiao Yan about his future arrangements, "You will live here temporarily, and when the final results of the national competition come out, the old man will have other rewards. There is a high-end apartment opposite your school, and the old man is here There's a large flat over there that's being renovated."

What Cen Jia meant was that as long as Qiao Yan won the national competition, the old man would officially recognize him, and he would give Qiao Yan a lot of things that belonged to Qiao's family.

"I know." Qiao Yan understood that this was the test of Mr. Qiao.After passing, he can live and keep his mother. Even though he is actually just a dog of the Qiao family, he is also a serious young master of the Qiao family outside.If you can't get through, I'm afraid the days to come will be worse than dogs.

But it doesn't matter anymore, Lu Youyou owes Gu Yuanyi his life, his Qiao Yan's blood owes his life to the Qiao family, and his Qiao Yan's life owes his mother Lu Youyi's life.From now on, he will repay forever and ever until the day of his death.

Immediately afterwards, Cen Jia took Qiao Yan to look around the house, and took him up and down to recognize people.

The butler of the old house is a middle-aged man with a pleasant smile, and his attitude towards Qiao Yan is also very warm.

"We will rely on you to take care of us in the future, don't be negligent."

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Cen Jia nodded, then took Qiao Yan back to the second floor, then called the old man's family doctor to change the medicine for Qiao Yan's wound, and found new clothes for Qiao Yan to put on.

"Don't be disgusted, it was all prepared by me. It was too hasty, so I didn't ask you. Qiao Jin was going to come too, but there was an impromptu meeting at the company. After a few days, you get used to me and Qiao Jin taking you shopping. "

Finally, Cen Jia thoughtfully left a pot of tea and some delicate snacks before leaving.

After Cen Jia left, Qiao Yan didn't touch any unnecessary things, but stood in front of the bookcase, took out a book and read it quietly.

This was what Qiao Yan did most often when he was upset in the past, but for the first time, the numbers he liked did not make him feel happy, but Qiao Yan still learned mechanically, because from now on, he For the rest of my life, I can only live by relying on these.

At this time, Qiao Chen, who was originally in the hospital, was also sent to Qiao's old house.
