  Chapter 52 Appointment

  Xin You read the confession and confessed to being Qiao Ruozhu's driver.

   "That is to say, the coachman confessed secretly, and no one in the Qiao family knows?"

  He Qingxiao smiled: "He should not be so stupid as to expose himself."

   "I see, thank you, Mr. He."

   "Miss Kou, you're welcome." He Qingxiao paused for a moment, and the smile on his lips became a little more genuine, "I hope Miss Kou's bookstore will prosper."

  Xin You raised her lips: "I won't let Master He down."

  Perhaps the girl was so confident that He Qingxiao shook his head before leaving the bookstore with a calm face.

   "Xiao Lian, what kind of person is Miss Qiao?"

   "Miss Qiao, she is sweet and can talk, and is very lively." Xiaolian said with anger when talking about Qiao Ruozhu, "I didn't expect her to be such a person, and she and Mrs. Qiao are really uncles and nephews!"

   "If the bookstore can't keep going, what good is it for her?"

Unlike Xinyou who didn't know anything about Qiao Ruozhu, Xiao Lian pondered for a while and came up with a guess: "The servant girl thinks that she saw you bought a bookstore near the Imperial College, and thought that you wanted to be close to the water and have more contact with the eldest son. .”

   "I see." Xin You suddenly realized.

  Xiao Lian blinked: "Girl, why did Mr. He help you so much?"

  Xin You thought about it seriously: "Maybe because you want to have a place to read all the time?"

  Xiao Lian: "..." She obviously wanted to make fun of the girl, but the reason the girl said is too reasonable!

   "Go and make an appointment with Ms. Qiao for me, and meet at the teahouse near the bookstore."

   "The girl wants to meet her?" Xiao Lian was taken aback.

Xin You touched her sleeve, and there was a confession given to her by He Qingxiao: "Some people will retreat when they fail in a shot, and some people will use their brains again if they fail in a shot. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's make it clear It's better. Go and help me date Miss Qiao."

  Xiao Lian took the order and left.

  Qiao Ruozhu was surprised when he received the post from the maid.

  Kou Qingqing actually asked her to meet at the teahouse.

  In the past, she would sometimes go to Shaoqing's mansion to live for a while. Although she had contacts with Kou Qingqing, she never played together. Why did Kou Qingqing ask her to meet at this time?

   Could it be that seeing that she and her cousin lost the possibility of being together, came to see her jokes?

  Qiao Ruozhu didn't think about exposing Li Li to set the fire. In her opinion, even if Li Li was arrested, no matter how much he confessed, he would not be able to find out about the maid disguised as a man.

   "Girl, I don't think Ms. Kou came here in a bad way, so you better ignore it."

   "No, I want to see what she wants to do."

  Although the fact that Xin You opened a bookstore made many people think that this cousin girl from the Shaoqing Mansion is not so well-behaved, but in Qiao Ruozhu's impression, the other party is still the one who shy away from her family.

   For such Kou Qingqing, she has a psychological superiority.

  It was nearly evening when the two met.

The fragrance of tea was pervasive and the elegant room was quiet. Qiao Ruozhu sized Xin You up with scrutiny, and said, "I heard that Ms. Kou has lost her memory, and I have always wanted to visit her. Unexpectedly, so many things happened later. Ms. Kou is recovering her memory. Me?"

  Xin You held the teacup and said in a calm tone, "The memory related to Ms. Qiao has not been recovered yet."

   "Miss Kou asked me to meet today, why?" Qiao Ruozhu's tone was not polite.

   Duan and Qiao's families have become like this, there is no need to pretend to be sisters.

  Xin You lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, and asked calmly, "A few days ago, a craftsman named Li Li in our bookstore deliberately set fire to it and was sent to the government. Miss Qiao heard about it?"

  Qiao Ruozhu's pupils shrank, and his body tensed up for a moment: "I haven't heard of it. I don't open a bookstore like Miss Kou. How could I hear about these things when I'm at home all day long?"

   "Are you at home all day?" Xin You put one hand on the table and tapped it twice randomly, "But someone sees Miss Qiao often appearing near our bookstore."

  Qiao Ruozhu stood up suddenly: "Who did you listen to?"

  Xin You smiled, but didn't answer.

  Qiao Ruozhu sat down again, leaned forward, and stared closely at Xin You's eyes: "What do you mean by asking me out today?"

   "I want to persuade Miss Qiao."

   "Advise what?"

   "Before it reaches the point of no return for Mrs. Qiao, Miss Qiao stop."

  Qiao Ruozhu's face changed drastically: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Xin You looked at the girl with a stubborn mouth, and sighed in her heart, her tone was even a little gentle: "Whether Miss Qiao admits it or not, I know who instigated Li Li to set the fire. Fortunately, the arson attempt failed, yes I have nothing to lose, and I don't plan to get into it this time. But if there is another time, then I won't pretend it never happened..."

  Qiao Ruozhu listened to Xin You's words, with shock, fear, anger, and finally doubts on his face: "Since you think it's me, why did you say this to me?"

"Because I think this kind of enmity is worthless. Mrs. Qiao wanted to kill me, so she was divorced. Not to mention that I lost my memory, my eldest cousin became a complete stranger to me emotionally. Even if I am interested in him, I will never be with the son of the person who wants my life."

Speaking of this, Xin You took a deep look at Qiao Ruozhu, and said in a calm tone, "Just like Miss Qiao, her aunt was divorced and her relationship with her eldest cousin was cut off. You and I are the ones who will never have anything to do with Duan Yunchen again. Why fight and become ugly because of a man who is destined to be the husband of other women?"

  Qiao Ruozhu suddenly lost his words, staring blankly at the peaceful girl in front of him.

   "That's all I said, Miss Qiao is so hard to think about." Xin You put down the tea cup, got up and walked out of the elegant room.

  The maid waited outside and waited for her girl to come out. She gently pushed the door and walked in. What she saw was Qiao Ruozhu who was like a lost soul.

   "Girl—"

  Qiao Ruozhu rolled his eyes slowly, and grabbed the maidservant's wrist with his cold hands, but he couldn't exert his strength like a collapse.

"go home."

   Seeing Qiao Ruozhu like this, the maid did not dare to ask more questions, and helped her out of the teahouse.

  The sky is still bright, and the colorful clouds are spreading in the sky, which is too beautiful to behold.

  Qiao Ruozhu's footsteps were flimsy, step by step towards the carriage parked by the roadside.

   "Cousin Bamboo?" A warm voice came from behind.

  Qiao Ruozhu suddenly stopped, and when she was about to turn her head, Xin You's words suddenly sounded in her ears.

   "...You and I are the ones who will never have anything to do with Duan Yunchen..."

  She wiped away her tears and got into the car as if fleeing for her life.

   This was the first time Duan Yunchen met Qiao Ruozhu after Qiao's dismissal. Originally, he was still hesitant about what to say, but when he saw Qiao Ruozhu didn't turn back and got into the carriage, he couldn't help forgetting his worries, and subconsciously followed for a few steps.

   "Cousin Bamboo—"

  Seeing Qiao Ruozhu get into the car, Duan Yunchen had no choice but to ask the maid: "Lian Xia, what's wrong with you girls?"

  The servant girl didn't know what happened in the private room, and she showed a look of anger: "Ms. Kou asked my girl to meet, and I don't know what she said—"

  Qiao Ruozhu's voice came from the car: "Let's go!"

   Before Duan Yunchen could ask clearly, the carriage drove away.
