go away without you

On the weekend, Qiao Xia followed Zhang Chenyu into Zhang's house. The moment he got in the car, he felt his heart was about to jump out.

He held Zhang Chenyu's hand tightly, inhaled heavily, seeing this, Zhang Chenyu pulled him into his arms, and held his hand back comfortingly.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a meal with grandpa."

"I'm still a little scared, what if grandpa doesn't like me?"

"Grandpa is just more serious, he is not so unenlightened, and he is easy to talk."

Zhang Chenyu smiled lightly and twirled the ring on his hand, "Besides, you are already my default wife, even if he objects, it's useless."

"What does grandpa like? What is he interested in? What is he taboo?"

Seeing the flustered expression of the little daughter-in-law, Zhang Chenyu patiently explained Zhang Bokun's likes and taboos one by one.

Zhang Ning, who was acting as the driver, said he didn't see anything.

After getting out of the car and walking into the living room, Qiao Xia followed behind Zhang Chenyu nervously.

The butler was wearing a tuxedo, and walked over straight and bowed slightly respectfully: "Master, you are back."

"Where's grandpa?"

"Master is reading in the study."

Zhang Chenyu nodded to him, and led Qiao Xia upstairs to the study.

In the study room, the energetic old man is wearing reading glasses and is concentrating on a famous foreign book. There is a cup of strong tea by his hand, and he takes a sip when his eyes are tired.

"Knock down."

"Come in."

"grandfather."

Zhang Bokun raised his head upon hearing the sound, and Zhang Chenyu and Qiao Xia were already standing in front of him.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang." Seeing him looking at him, Qiao Xia immediately bowed.

"Yeah." He replied, it's not that he doesn't know Qiao Xia well, he had met Qiao Xia in a hurry last time, and he was a relatively well-behaved child in his impression.

Zhang Bokun looked at himself straightly, no emotion could be seen in his eyes, Qiao Xia felt that he was about to suffocate, and couldn't even speak.

Zhang Chenyu gently took his finger, Qiao Xia mechanically turned his head to look at him, and suddenly shivered, his terrified little eyes immediately became more energetic.

He took a long, antique mahogany box from Zhang Chenyu's hand, and walked forward holding it in both hands.

"Grandpa Zhang, I heard from Ah Chen that you like to collect some calligraphy and paintings, so I took a picture of "Dragon and Tiger" and gave it to you."

The corners of Zhang Bokun's eyes twitched slightly: "Li Wenzhi's "Dragon and Tiger Picture"?" He opened the box, and after spreading out the painting, it was Li Wenzhi's "Dragon and Tiger Picture".

"Li Wenzhi's authentic works are hard to find, but you guys are interested." He frowned with satisfaction.

Qiao Xia took a breath just now.

"Grandpa, then we won't bother you to appreciate the paintings."

"Well, you guys go out first." Zhang Bokun didn't pay attention to what they said, put on his reading glasses and carefully hung in the air to admire them like a baby.

Zhang Chenyu winked at him, and Qiao Xia obediently followed him out.

As soon as they went out, they ran into Xu Yunhan at the corner, and she looked at her playfully.

"Little brother Qiao Xia, come here."

Qiao Xia walked over helplessly, and called out awkwardly in Zhang Chenyu's shocked eyes, "Sister."

Although Xu Yunhan is over forty years old, she is well-maintained, and she doesn't feel much disobedience when a 20-year-old boy calls her sister.

"I haven't seen you in half a year. You look so handsome again. Your face is so tender." Like a strange sister, she smiled silly and reached out to touch his cheek.

Before touching it, Zhang Chenyu stopped his hand halfway.

"Don't touch him."

She withdrew her hand wearily and muttered, "Stingy."

"He's mine."

"..." Xu Yunhan couldn't stand it, what the hell is being shown affection by a child.

Qiao Xia looked curiously at the two of them. He knew that they were not his biological mother and son, but their relationship seemed not as rigid as he thought.

Xu Yunhan ignored him, turned around and pulled Qiao Xia's arm generously, so fast that Zhang Chenyu didn't even have time to react.

"What's wrong with mother holding on to her daughter-in-law?"

Zhang Chenyu frowned: "Are you my mother?"

"Yes, I'm not your mother, I'm your sister."

"..."

"Zhang Wei is downstairs, you'd better go down and say hello." Xu Yunhan glanced downstairs, Zhang Chenyu said something in Qiao Xia's ear with a sullen face and left.

"That brat can be regarded as leaving."

As soon as Zhang Chenyu left, Xu Yunhan let out a long breath, "I don't know who this terrifying personality looks like, sometimes he really doesn't look like a just grown-up."

Qiao Xia couldn't help laughing, thinking that he really wasn't just an adult.

Xu Yunhan looked at Qiao Xia and stared at him without blinking. Qiao Xia quickly suppressed her smile and responded to her puzzled look.

"Qiao Xia, what is your purpose?" She asked him seriously with a straight face.

"What?" Qiao Xia was confused.

"You said that you have a good temper and good looks. There should be boys and girls chasing you. Why did you follow him blindly?"

Qiao Xia was a little dumbfounded by her reaction before and after.

"Aside from Zhang Chenyu's good looks, what other advantages do he have? His temper is so bad that he doesn't have any normal values. As long as he thinks it is an eyesore, he will get rid of it. He is also very indifferent. Except for you, other people are in front of him. There are two types in my eyes, those that need to be eliminated and those that can be used.”

Xu Yunhan has a deep understanding of these points. The talents he likes will be recruited desperately, and those who are not satisfied will be fired without saying a word, and those who stand in his way will be eliminated one by one.

When the Linyi studio was first established, there was a relatively large self-media company that made a lot of noise, and it was acquired by him within two months.

Qiao Xia agrees with these points very much, Zhang Chenyu in the previous life is even more so, but now he is very restrained.

Qiao Xia smiled and shook her head, her gaze kept on the ring on her finger: "I don't know, I know that other people are a better choice, but I still fell in love with him somehow."

And even after a lifetime, she was still held by him in the end, Qiao Xia couldn't help but want to sigh that it's a trick of good fortune.

Xu Yunhan was silent for a while thoughtfully, then pulled him and changed the subject: "Go, I'll show you something."

Qiao Xia followed her into a room.

Xu Yunhan took out a deeply pressed photo album from the bedside table.

"These are all undisclosed treasures!" She smiled mysteriously and turned to the first page.

Qiao Xia saw a young boy with an indifferent expression staring fiercely at the camera, and was startled, but when he looked closely, he found that it was Zhang Chenyu.

"This is the photo I took for him when he graduated from elementary school, and it is also the last photo that is justifiable." She sighed regretfully, as if Zhang Chenyu's resolute rejection was still in front of her eyes.

Only then did Qiao Xia realize that the photos below were either of Zhang Chenyu working or sleeping, and they were basically candid shots.

"This one," she said, pointing to one of the photos after turning the pages, "this was taken when he was dating a girl a few years ago."

"Dating?"

"Don't be nervous, he was just tricked by me to meet a little girl. I thought how such a young man could find a reason to trick him without having a relationship, but he turned around and left after knowing it, saving face Don't give it to me either." At this time, Xu Yunhan was still grieving.

"But this one looks like it was in junior high school, right?"

"Second year of junior high school."

"..." In the second year of junior high school, I was talking about ghost love.
