"Try it, does this red wine foie gras still suit your taste?" Jin Shunqi smiled and pushed the dish that the waiter just brought to her.

Qiao Yuchu carefully dug a little with a spoon, took a sip, and it melted in the mouth without a trace of fishy smell.

There was a hint of joy in her eyes naturally, the smile in Jin Shunqi's eyes deepened, and his expression became more gentle as he watched her.

"It's fine if you like it, I'm afraid that French food won't suit your taste."

"No, I eat everything except pork."

"That's good, and this steamed egg with caviar is also their signature, you must eat it while it's hot, try it soon."

The two of them ate and chatted, and Jin Shunqi made proper arrangements for her itinerary for the next few days.

"After eating later, if it's still early, I make an appointment for a pedicure. I often go to that shop, and the technicians are all old acquaintances. Every time I feel comfortable after massage, it can especially relieve fatigue."

Qiao Yuchu looked at him meaningfully.

"Oh~ It turns out that Dr. Jin likes pedicure care."

Jin Shunqi was startled, then smiled, and the way he was busy explaining made the man's ears turn red.

"No, Ms. Qiao seems to have misunderstood. Is it a serious pedicure, and the technician is also a male friend of mine, or is it that I am that kind of person in Ms. Qiao's heart?"

When Jin Shunqi said this, he leaned forward slightly, his amber eyes shining brightly under the light.

The faint smell of men's perfume on his body wafted into his nose.

Qiao Yuchu turned her eyes away and sat back a little.

"Of course...not anymore."

Only then did Jin Shunqi let her go, and sat back satisfied.

"Okay, then this project is reserved. After eating, I'll take you back to the hotel to rest, and I'll take you for a walk tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuchu's phone on the table vibrated, and the caller ID was: Mom.

She glanced at it and pressed it away.

Jin Shunqi stopped the knife and fork in his hand.

"Why don't you accept it?"

The smile on Qiao Yuchu's face faded.

"Most likely they urged me to go home for a blind date again. I don't want to hear those words for the time being."

After she finished speaking, she realized that the person sitting opposite was Jin Shunqi, and it was somewhat inappropriate to say that she was going on a blind date in front of him.

"Sorry, my mother has been urging me, but I don't have that idea."

The phone continued to vibrate again.

This time it was an unfamiliar number.

Jin Shunqi shrugged.

"It's okay, my family will also urge me, but I usually understand it as their kind concern. You should answer the phone, in case there is really something urgent."

Qiao Yu glanced at him for the first time, then at the strange number that kept jumping on the screen, put down the knife and fork, and picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

As soon as the other party finished the first sentence, she felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and she stood up suddenly.

"What did you say?!" She unconsciously raised her voice, and half of the people in the restaurant looked sideways.

The person on the phone repeated it in a businesslike manner.

"Is it Qiao Zishan's family? Your father hit someone on the highway. Please come to the **** police station immediately."

***

Seeing that when he was about to arrive at the airport, the red light was on again at the intersection ahead, and the vehicles waiting to pass formed a long queue.

Qiao Yuchu bit her lower lip anxiously.

Jin Shunqi looked at her, slowly stretched out his hand, and took her hand into his palm.

When Qiao Yuchu turned her head, Jin Shunqi nodded firmly at her.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, with me, I can definitely catch the plane."

As soon as he finished speaking, the red light turned green, and the vehicles in line in front of him loosened up. He quickly changed lanes and got in from the crowded traffic.

For some reason, when Qiao Yuchu looked at his resolute side face, it seemed as if she had taken a reassurance, and she was not as flustered as before.

Jin Shunqi kept sending him to the security checkpoint.

"Here, the seat is first-class cabin C2, call me when you land."

Qiao Yuchu nodded while holding the boarding pass. She knew that the first-class cabin on the flight purchased temporarily was expensive, but she couldn't care less about expressing gratitude to him because of the tight schedule, so she had to wait until the matter was over before thanking him properly.

"it is good."

Qiao Yuchu dragged her suitcase and quickly passed the security check. When she turned her head, Jin Shunqi was still standing there looking at her.

The two looked at each other from a distance through a glass wall.

Jin Shunqi moved his lips, motioning for her to pick up the phone.

Qiao Yuchu connected the phone.

"Do you really not need me to go back with you?" The man's eyes were gentle and full of worry.

Qiao Yuchu smiled.

"No, I can handle it myself, besides... I don't know how to explain it to my mother when I take you back now."

When Jin Shunqi just booked the plane ticket, he actually bought two tickets. He put one hand in his pocket, clutching the plane ticket, sweating a little nervously, but he didn't intend to tell Qiao Yuchu.

"Okay, then I hope...we can be together next time you come home."

Before she could answer, the boarding announcement rang.

Jin Shunqi took a step back, and didn't say anything more to put too much pressure on her, but only cared.

"Go, call me if you need anything, my phone is on standby 24 hours a day."

Qiao Yuchu looked at him, although she still had something in her heart, a shy yet sweet smile finally appeared on her face.

She nodded and hung up the phone.

"Okay, I'll find you if I need anything, goodbye."

At that time, Qiao Yuchu still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She just bumped into someone and didn't escape. It would be fine to take the responsibility and let the insurance pay for it. But she didn't expect that there would be a storm waiting for her at home. .

While the Badminton World Championships were underway, the National Swimming Championships also started as scheduled.

Cheng Zhen swam 3 minutes and 49 seconds in the men's 400-meter freestyle preliminaries and entered the final with the first place in the group.

As soon as the game was over, he returned to the locker room and immediately took out his cell phone to call his father.

"Hey, Dad, did you watch the news?! I'm in the finals!"

Father Cheng just came out of the company building, with clothes in his hand, smiling all over his face, chatting with him while walking.

"Looked at it, Dad, why would you miss every game of yours? My son is awesome! Dad said a long time ago, as long as you work hard, you can be the world champion, not to mention the national champion! "

After Cheng Zhen changed his clothes and closed the cabinet door, he was still a little brooding about him not being able to come to watch the match.

"You say you can't miss my competition, but it's not because of your busy schedule. This is my first time participating in the National Swimming Championships."

Father Cheng laughed.

"Hey, dad is here to make money to support the family. You don't need money to learn swimming? You don't need money to marry a wife in the future? Besides, the company is really busy recently, negotiating new business, dad really can't get away, your mother recently Your health is not very good, when the finals, Dad must make time to go to Beijing to watch your competition, okay?"

When Cheng Zhen heard this, he said immediately.

"What happened to my mother?"

"Your mother has a bit of a cold, but don't worry, there's nothing serious about it. She's already seen the doctor and is taking medicine."

"That's good. Tell my mother to pay attention to her body, wear thicker clothes, and take her medicine on time. Also, it's settled. You come to Beijing during the finals and watch me win the championship, and then we will go home together."

"Hey, okay, son." Dad Cheng suddenly felt emotional and called him.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

Father Cheng smiled, and just as he was about to speak, a few malicious-looking people holding sticks appeared at the entrance of the alley not far ahead. He looked back and saw that his retreat was also blocked by a car.

He hastily hung up the phone.

"It's okay, son. Dad still has a job, so I won't tell you for now. Take care of yourself and hang up."

As soon as he finished speaking, his mobile phone was snatched away, and several young men in suits and leather shoes came over and punched and kicked him.

The car door opened, and the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses came down, picked up the phone from the ground, and raised his hand.

The thugs stopped their movements one after another.

"I heard that your son is a good swimmer. He is about to win the national championship. Congratulations, congratulations."

Father Cheng raised his head from the ground with difficulty, the glasses frames were all crooked, and the bridge of his nose was covered with blood.

"You... what do you want to do to my son?"

"Of course it's the father who pays the debt. Your son has a bright future. If you can't pay it back, let your son pay it for you."

The man knelt down and patted his face with his phone.

Cheng's father panicked, immediately grabbed his wrist, and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, "No...don't...don't let my son know...he's just a child and doesn't have that much money! I still...I still...I still have The house, I will also mortgage the house to you!"

The man let go, threw him to the ground, threw the phone beside him, and got up.

"Wouldn't it be over if you did this earlier? Let the brothers look for you again and again. For three days, I'll give you three days. After three days, if we don't see a million people, we'll go to Beijing to find your son."

"Also, don't try to avoid debts. I heard that your mother lives alone in the country. If we can't find you, we will go to your house and say hello to the old man."

After the man finished speaking, he led the thugs away.

"let's go."

Cheng's father got up from the ground and picked up the phone. The screen of the phone was broken. He wiped it and put it in his pocket. He took off his glasses, wiped the blood on his face, and then staggered towards home. .

Mother Cheng welcomed him in.

"Oh, what's the matter, why is your nose bruised and face swollen?"

Cheng's father sat down on the sofa, and Cheng's mother brought the medicine box from the bedroom, and briefly treated the wound on his face for him.

Father Cheng hissed lightly.

"It's okay... I just stepped out of the company's door and stepped down the steps accidentally, and fell down."

"It's a lot of age, and I don't look at it when I walk. What can I do if I fall down?" Cheng's mother complained, while carefully applying ice medicine for him.

"Okay, I'll do it myself. Is the meal ready? I'm a little hungry."

Cheng's father took the ice pack from her hand and pressed it on his forehead.

Mother Cheng got up and looked at him sitting on the sofa in his dirty clothes.

"Get up, look at the dirty clothes, take them off and I'll wash them for you, the meal will be ready soon, you go take a bath first, be careful not to get water on the wound on your face."

Father Cheng took off his coat and handed it to her.

"Eh, good."

When someone entered the bathroom, Cheng's mother was going to stuff his clothes into the washing machine, and when she took out her pocket, she took out a mobile phone, the screen was still broken.

"Why is your phone broken?"

Father Cheng raised his voice in the bathroom.

"Oh, I was holding the phone in my hand when I fell down, and it hit the ground. Do you have a spare phone? Give me one first."

"Really, it's so worrying at an old age. How can I have so many spare machines? Use mine first."

Cheng's father came out of the shower and went back to the bedroom to change clothes. Through the half-closed door, he saw his wife busy in the kitchen. He walked over quietly, opened the drawer under the wardrobe, and searched for the real estate certificate.

Mother Cheng set the table and chopsticks and called out.

"What are you looking for? Come out to eat quickly."

Cheng's father was startled, but his face was calm as usual.

"Wife, where is our real estate certificate?"

Cheng's mother opened the door and entered with a suspicious expression on her face.

"Why do you want a real estate certificate?"

Father Cheng got up, hugged her and sat on the bed.

"Isn't this a problem with the company's capital chain recently? You know, I applied for a loan from the bank, but we need to mortgage our house..."

"Cheng Yong!" Mother Cheng threw him away.

"Are you crazy! In order to fill that hole in your company, you first sold your car, and now you're even selling our house! Are you going to make our family of three homeless and sleep on the street?!"

"Oh, wife." Cheng's father pulled him over again, hugged him in his arms, and tried to persuade him.

"It's not for sale. It's a formal mortgage from the bank. When the loan expires, the money will be repaid. Should this house be ours or ours?"

"What if it's not up yet?!"

"How is it possible! We have been together for so many years, don't you believe in your husband's ability? I can start from nothing, and I can develop the company better. Everything I do now is for you and your mother to have a better life." life."

The two fell in love on campus, got married after graduation, Cheng's father started from scratch, started a business and started a company. She has seen how hard and hard he has gone all the way. After buying a new Huafa, I feel a little distressed.

"Of course I believe you, just mortgage the house..."

"Wife, you just have to trust me. You don't want your child to be a wolf. Now the company's operation has encountered a little difficulty, but as long as our husband and wife work together, there will be no obstacle that we can't overcome." Cheng's father said , doing lustful kisses on her face.

Mother Cheng pushed the person out.

"A lot of age, sticky, eat first!"

"The real estate certificate?" He pecked a few more secretly, causing a smile to finally appear on the woman's face.

"I'll get it for you after dinner, that's okay!"

***

Zhou Mu was lying on the bed in the dormitory, scrolling through the sports news, getting more and more angry, and registered several trumpets to scold those black fans.

"Huh? A counterfeit match? Then you play one and let me see."

"Others are not worthy of participating in the World Championships, but you are. Others play with a racket, but you play with a keyboard and a mouth."

"Jiang Yunli put the water on? I think you have a lot of water in your head, shake it well, wash your mouth and then come out to speak."

"People are not sages and no faults. It's just a mistake. It's time for encouragement. You don't want to cheer for the Chinese team, but slander the athletes behind your back. You know how much Xie Shi'an has put in to get here. ?"

After Zhou Mu finished posting one by one, all those who scolded her were blacklisted, and she still felt puzzled while looking at her phone.

After thinking about it, she called Xie Shi'an.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hey, Shi'an, are you okay?"

"It's me, Chang Nian."

Zhou Mu was startled when he heard her voice.

"Why did you answer the phone, where is Shi'an?"

Jian Changnian took a look at the training ground, and Xie Shi'an stood in front of Wan Jing with his arms folded.

His voice resounded throughout the arena.

"Look at your performance on the court today! Who are you right! I dug you into the national team just to make you lose face?! This is not a national competition, this is the highest-level badminton event in the world One, can I ask you to be more active?! Do you know what the outside world is saying about you, about our national team?!"

"You are not slandering just one person, but also your predecessors!"

She covered the receiver tightly.

"Being trained, I helped her hold the phone, and when I saw you calling, I answered it."

Zhou Mu also felt concerned, knowing that her life must be difficult now.

"Is Shi'an okay? I also watched today's game. I did miss a few goals, but it's not necessary..."

Jian Changnian continued: "Yeah, even though he wasn't in good shape, he managed to get back in the third game. He still lost the game by two points, so he was scolded for being bloody."

Zhou Mu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

"It would be great if I could go to watch your game live. You can comfort Shi'an and adjust her state. I believe she will definitely win the championship!"

Jian Changnian knew what was going on in his heart, and smiled wryly.

"I reckon, it's useless for anyone to comfort you, and you have to step in."
