    224: It’s your own fault

    Qiao Qiao got off the bus with difficulty, dragging his suitcase and himself, who was about to fall apart.

    When she woke up early in the morning, she left the villa without any delay. Although Liang Jize’s face didn’t look good, he kept his word and didn’t stop her. For this reason, Qiao Qiao was very happy.

    It had been a long time since he had walked outdoors. Looking at the constant flow of traffic on the road, the bustling streets with people coming and going, and the warm morning sunshine all gave Qiao Qiao the illusion that he had entered another world.

    Life is finally back on track.

    Except…

    She sighed, although it was possible to go back to WAWA Company, but according to Director Song’s temper, he would just leave her without acknowledging her. Without her formal employee status, she might not even be able to go to the office building, let alone find a chance to talk alone.

    This seems to be a dead end.

    Qiao Qiao walked aimlessly in circles on the street. When she came to her senses, she found that she had walked outside the community where Song Qiyan’s home was located.

    The security of this high-end apartment was strict. Fortunately, Qiao Qiao had been here before, and the property management kept her visitor record, so she was released after filling out a bunch of forms.

    Today is a working day, and Director Song cannot be at home.

    But the man once told her the password to his home.

    With a few numbers that were easy to remember, Qiao Qiao opened the door as soon as he tried it.

    The room is clean and bright, very much in the style of Song Qiyan, with soft tones and simple decoration, reflecting the owner’s taste and aesthetics everywhere.Every furnishing was in its proper place, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room were spotlessly clean, the silk curtains swayed slightly in the wind, and even the air had a refreshing and clean smell.

    Qiao Qiao closed the door and looked at each room with a feeling of awe.

    She hadn’t been here for a long time, but there was almost no change here compared to what she remembered. The furniture arrangement remained the same and everything was in order. Only a few pieces of underwear hanging on the balcony and being dried could show some traces of the owner’s life.

    Like a thief, she opened the man’s wardrobe again. There were more than a dozen suits neatly stacked inside, arranged hangingly according to color and thickness. The small drawer on the lower right held underwear, and the ties on the left, ensuring that you could reach what you wanted at a glance.

    There were several memos taped to the pen holder on the desk. The man’s handsome handwriting wrote some trivial things such as “disinfect the cabinets” and “send coats for laundering”. One would not imagine that this is the kind of font that would appear on tens of millions of business contracts or acquisition documents.

    This is a very comfortable environment, very close to the feeling of home that Qiao Qiao imagined.

    Qiao Qiao originally wanted to give the man a bath and clean the room before he came back, but looking at it like this, she didn’t even have a chance to show off her talents.

    Then…cook him a meal?

    But thinking about my skills, I was afraid that things would be worse if the man actually ate it, so I could only give up the idea and help him disinfect the cabinet in vain.

    During this period, I accidentally broke a plate, but the pieces were cleared up. However, two dishes with a uniform pattern were missing for no apparent reason, which looked really eye-catching.

    I waited until evening with an uneasy feeling, and finally heard the sound of entering the password at the door.

    Qiao Qiao looked at himself nervously. As soon as the door opened, he bowed deeply to the door and said loudly: “Director Song, I was wrong! Please forgive me!”

    She didn’t dare to straighten up first, and had no way of knowing what the expression was on the man’s face. She just felt as if a century had passed when a soft female voice sounded: “What’s going on?”

    Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a man and a woman standing at the door. The man was naturally Song Qiyan, and his expression was anything but happy.The woman Qiao Qiao has never seen her before, but she has a good temperament and elegant manners. The faint traces of age at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows do not detract from her beauty at all.

    My heart suddenly hurt for no reason.

    “Song, Director Song…” Qiao Qiao was speechless and forgot all about the draft he had written to admit his mistakes.

    “Just a domestic worker.” Song Qiyan wrote lightly, “Come in first.”

    Qiao Qiao stood there stupidly, feeling the man’s eyes pass over her like an insignificant speck of dust, and the two passed by each other.

    “The style of your home has remained the same for ten years.” The woman sat down on the sofa and smiled. “The only change is that there is a young domestic worker.”

    Song Qiyan said calmly: “There are more changes that you can’t see.”

    The woman seemed to have heard something interesting, covering her mouth with her hands and giggling non-stop. However, this slightly artificial gesture was not annoying to her, but was natural and playful, making people want to get close to her involuntarily.

    “You are such an unprofessional housekeeper that you don’t pour water when guests come.” The woman said angrily.

    Hearing this, Qiao Qiao wanted to get the paper cup, but Song Qiyan held him down: “She doesn’t care about entertaining, she only cares about my food and daily life.”

    The woman’s face changed slightly. She looked Qiao Qiao up and down without any trace, and smiled: “No wonder, these hands don’t look like someone who has done heavy work. Qi Yan, you love her very much.”

    Director Song has a high status in the company and holds great power. Even those who are older than him respectfully call him Director Song, and outsiders dare not call him random. This is the first time Qiao Qiao heard someone address him by his first name.

    And they were called so affectionately.

    She secretly glanced at Director Song, who looked as normal and showed no dissatisfaction. It was obvious that the two of them had always called him this.

    “When you came in just now, I heard you say you wanted to apologize to Qi Yan? What’s wrong, did you make him angry?” The woman became interested in Qiao Qiao for some reason, and the topic always revolved around her.

    Qiao Qiao glanced at Director Song for help. There was no emotion on the man’s face.

    “…I accidentally broke two plates.”

    “That’s it.” The woman turned to Song Qiyan with a smile, “Everyone is careless sometimes, and young people are inevitably irritable, as long as no one is hurt. Don’t be angry with her, I will give you a new set later.”

    Qiao Qiao instantly felt that this woman was so high-ranking!

    It was obviously a matter that had nothing to do with her, but she was able to take it on her without leaving any trace and then sell it to Qiao Qiao. The most important thing was that it not only showed her kindness and tolerance, but also gave her gifts legitimately!

    “Of course.” The man curled his lips slightly, “It’s just that she was careless in doing things, and she might even be beaten when she gets her.”

    The woman’s smile froze for a moment: “Qi Yan, which company recommended this kind of domestic worker to you? If you don’t have anyone available, I will give you mine.”

    “No need, she also has her benefits.”

    The words are ambiguous, and coupled with the man’s unique soft magnetic voice, it is difficult not to make people think wildly.Qiao Qiao’s face felt hot for no reason, but fortunately he was standing far away and no one could see it.

    Afterwards, the two chatted about some work matters. It could be felt that the woman always wanted to lead the topic in a certain direction, but Song Qiyan could always bring the topic back in a few words.Moreover, due to the presence of a third party, it was not easy for women to express themselves. After talking about work, they could only talk sparsely about irrelevant topics. After chatting for a while, it really had no effect. She could only stand up and ask Song Qiyan to send her away.

    Men naturally agree.

    The woman was reluctant and hinted several times that she wanted to talk to him alone, but the man pretended not to understand and ignored her.

    “Okay.” She picked up her crocodile leather handbag and said with an indignant smile, “You are getting more and more cunning.”

    “You taught me well.” Neither humble nor arrogant.

    “Don’t go out and say that I single-handedly brought you to this position. You are better than your master. I can’t even handle my former subordinates. Where can I put my face?” He was half joking and half telling the truth.

    The two left together, leaving Qiao Qiao in the house. Fortunately, Song Qiyan came back before long.

    As soon as he entered the house, he took off his coat and wanted to hang it up. Qiao Qiao quickly took it and hung it up for him, like a flattering little follower.

    Not only that, warm water had been poured out early, and hot towels were prepared for him to wipe his hands with.

    “When did you come?”

    “…this morning.”

    “Go back. I don’t need anyone here. You will only cause trouble when you come.”

    “But… didn’t you say you wanted me to come here to work and pay off my debts?”

    “Oh, that watch.” Song Qiyan smiled lightly, “I lied to you, I found that watch a long time ago. So you don’t owe me any money, let alone work for me.”

    Qiao Qiao made a silly ‘Ah’ sound.

    “Besides, as you can see, I don’t want you to do anything here.” He unbuttoned his collar and looked at the hot towel and warm water. “This kind of work is better than nothing. Ten years of pouring water will not be worth the money you paid for today.”

    She was speechless.

    Song Qiyan didn’t say a harsh word from beginning to end, even his expression seemed careless, but it easily made people feel like falling into an ice cave.

    His attitude was not half as warm as when the woman was present.

    Without anyone in the way, there was no need to hide his impatience and indifference towards Qiao Qiao.

    “Director Song, I know I was wrong.” Qiao Qiao was about to cry. For the first time, she realized how painful it was to be left out. But she was so stupid that she didn’t know what to do, so she could only repeat it over and over again, begging for his forgiveness.

    “Okay.” The man’s tone actually contained a helpless smile, “I forgive you, you can go.”

    It seemed that Qiao Qiao had just bumped into his shoulder accidentally on the road. She had never felt that kind of alienation and politeness towards strangers.

    This person… doesn’t want to see her anymore.

    This thought flashed through her mind, and Qiao Qiao was so panicked that she was completely surrounded by the fear of not being able to get close to Song Qiyan. Before she came, she didn’t expect the matter to be so serious, and what she didn’t expect was that the thought of being disgusted by this person made her feel so heartbroken that she was about to faint.

    Song Qiyan was like a part of her body. Once she got used to it, she couldn’t feel its existence, but once she had to remove it, she felt a heart-pounding pain.

    And all of this was caused by her own hands.
