Chapter 37:

Many minor details that hadn't been cared about were suddenly strung together in Xu Qiao's heart.
When Pi Dan borrowed the studio from her, why did she "coincidentally" let her see the sapphire in the words describing the competition, and why "it happened" there was a tendency to persuade her to participate.
Also, Cheng Lang's so-called "busy on official business" in the past ten days.
Xu Qiao felt stupid.
Was busy working in the dark for half a month. For the first time in my life, I wanted to do a big thing. I still refused to tell Cheng Lang. I planned to wait for the result of the game to give him a good look. Then I turned my head and found that he was the one to mention. The person who controls the puppet on the line.
The conversation in the bathroom stopped abruptly. It seemed that someone came towards the door. Xu Qiao quickly picked up the cosmetic bag and ran back to the office.

When Cheng Lang walked up to the second floor of the studio to pick up people, he saw a pufferfish version of Xu Qiao.
The door of the office was wide open in a posture of waiting for nothing. Xu Qiao was sitting at her desk in a precarious manner, staring at the computer with enthusiasm, as if to gouge a hole in the screen.
This situation doesn't seem to be in line with the "good mood" aunt said just now.
Cheng Lang keenly felt the dangerous breath, stopped by the door, and tentatively knocked on the door twice.
Xu Qiao raised his fiery eyes, closing the door and hitting the dog, "Come in, close the door."
Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows, his scrutiny glances slowly fell across the corner of the office, and then slowly closed the door.
Xu Qiao got up, turned the computer display, pointed to the high-resolution picture on the screen and asked, "Do you know this sapphire?"
Cheng Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was probably in a situation.
He nodded: "Yes."
"Do you know this game?" She swiped the mouse and pulled the web interface to the game bulletin board.
"I know." He nodded again.
Xu Qiao also nodded, "How awkward I am in your eyes, that you need to put up a stage for me so laboriously?"
"Shall I set up a stage for you?" Cheng Lang frowned slightly, "Where did you hear this?"
"I read and understood it myself."
Cheng Lang silently thought for a moment, and confirmed: "Do you think I am pulling you up?"
Xu Qiao did not speak, but looked straight at him.
Cheng Lang seemed to be angrily laughed: "How impetuous I am in your eyes to let you listen to the wind and rain to detain me for this crime?"
Xu Qiao was taken aback, her arrogance diminished slightly: "I didn't say anything that is not a crime..."
"Is the nature of this matter not serious enough to manipulate unfair competition for one's own self-interest and step on other people's power?"
Xu Qiao discovered for the first time that Cheng Lang was quite terrible being serious.
She spent an entire hour in the scene of asking him about guilt. At this moment, she forgot all the lines she had designed, and she grabbed the sentence: "Then if you are so open and honest, why do you always keep me in the dark? Li? It’s like that when you lied to me to return to China, and that’s how you lied to me to participate in the competition. You are a dishonest person with a previous conviction here, and you blame me for wearing colored glasses for you?"
"If you can take off the tinted glasses first, why do I have to deceive to achieve my goal?"
"If you can stop cheating first, why do I have to look at you with colored glasses?"
Cheng Lang: "..."
Xu Qiao: "..."
Sure enough, once a man and a woman quarrel, no matter how high their education is and how good their eloquence is, they will eventually fall into the unsolvable proposition of "whether the chicken or the egg came first", losing their stability and logic, leaving only themselves. It sounded a bit speechless and naive, choking each other, thinking about it carefully and still full of doubts-why did it make the noise? Didn’t it seem like this at the beginning? Why did it go wrong?
Cheng Lang turned his head and stared at the white wall to calm down for a while, then turned his face and loosened his bow tie: "As far as the matter is concerned, I haven't contacted the organizer of the contest. Believe it or not." After that, he turned and opened the office door and left. Get out.
Xu Qiao stayed in place in disbelief.
At this time, what shady or not shady is no longer the point.
The point is, did this man put her here? During Christmas Eve, Cheng Lang actually left her alone in the cold office?

Xu Qiao didn't know what he was betting on. She had to walk back to the apartment, walked with her stomach in the cold winter night, and cursed "dog man" every few steps on the road.
"If there is no shady, there is no shady, just explain it clearly and it will be over!"
"Show me your big face!"
"Blame me when I hear the wind but rain?"
"Why don't I misunderstand that Lei Feng has ulterior motives for doing good deeds and misunderstands you? It's not that you are already bad!"
"I went to your good sister in the seawall on Christmas Eve!"
"I am so beautiful alone!"
Xu Qiao hum kicked a small stone and walked all the way with broken thoughts. There was a small flame all over his body, and no one dared to get close within a radius of five meters.
When he walked downstairs to the apartment, the patrolling uncle recognized her from a distance, and asked with a smile, "Why do you come back alone today? What about her boyfriend?"
"No boyfriend!" Xu Qiao snorted and walked up the steps of the apartment building. "Yes, I'm dead!"
As soon as the voice fell, a roar of engines approached quickly.
Xu Qiao turned her head and saw the blue-black Pagani that hadn't been seen for a long time. He was about to avoid, and was stopped by the uncle security guard: "Oh, is it a boyfriend? Knowing that I'm here to chase you means I can save you! Said that it is common for this couple to quarrel, and the end of the bed will close after the quarrel!
"Who is with him?" Xu Qiao turned and walked into the apartment building. Unfortunately, the uncle security bought Cheng Lang time. As soon as she got to the elevator, Cheng Lang who was chasing in grabbed her wrist.
She shook him away: "Why do you follow your brother's hands and feet?"
"Walking back?" Cheng Lang frowned.
"Even if I flew back, do I have anything to do with you?"
Cheng Lang opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he couldn't tell.
The elevator door moved away, and when Xu Qiao was about to leave, he finally closed his eyes, "I'm sorry."
Xu Qiao stumbled, turned her head and rubbed her ears: "Hmm?"
Apologizing for this kind of remark, it seemed to be easier after speaking once, Cheng Lang looked down at her: "I was wrong with you just now."
Xu Qiao sucked the frozen red nose, stopped, blinked and looked at him: "What does it mean to anger me?"
Cheng Lang turned his head slightly, thinking about something, turned his eyes back in silence and said: "My family situation is more complicated. In the early years, my second uncle and my father didn't deal with each other very well, so he was a little bit innocent to pull my father off the horse. To put it simply, it is malicious business competition with no lower limit. There are also many shady incidents. Affected by this, I personally dislike this approach, so..."
So when this kind of unwarranted crime came to him, his rare emotions got out of control.
It stands to reason that he has never cared about the eyes of others, but when he encountered Xu Qiao, many reasons became unreasonable.
Such an exception surprised him himself.
Xu Qiao was dumbfounded, and filtered these words in his head for a long time, then nodded in a daze: "Oh, that's it..."
"I'll explain this to you again." Cheng Lang sighed deeply, "The start of this game was long before you returned to China. I didn't interfere in any preliminary work, and I don't plan to interfere with the results of the later awards. Yes, at It's easy for me to set up a shady scene for such a small game, but it doesn't make sense."
"If you don't have the strength, cheating on you in private events, you will be exposed when you step onto the authority stage in the future. And if you have this strength, why should I spend money to clear the relationship? I said, no one has money. Picked up for nothing."
"What's the matter with the sapphire?" Xu Qiao said dumbly.
"These are the only hands and feet I have ever touched. I didn't contact the organizer of the competition, but I contacted Townsend and asked him to replace the sponsored product with the rough stone. You are so sorrowful about the bracelet at the last auction, I think this rough stone should give you motivation to compete."
"Townsend is a fan of money, so you can take out such a valuable gem?"
"A smart financial fan will take a long line to catch a big fish and build a relationship with me. The future benefits will be compared with a sapphire at present. Which one do you think is more worthy of his enthusiasm?
"..." He, He died, forget it!
Xu Qiao looked at him: "Then why don't you tell me directly."
"Little girl," Cheng Lang smiled, "If I clarify the relationship between this sapphire and me in advance, would you still be willing to participate?"
Asking herself, Xu Qiao felt that she might suspect that there was a ghost in it from the beginning.
But there is no evidence for such a thing as "if" except for God.
Xu Qiao raised her chin: "Who said you wouldn't? You think too much about Lin Daiyu's upper body!"
"..." Cheng Lang nodded, "My aunt's grandmother is not as horizontal as you."
Just as Xu Qiao was about to slap her mouth again, her stomach slammed a cannon, grunting.
Look at this grandson who made his aunt milky, doing evil and not doing evil!
She sighed, and as soon as she touched her belly, she heard Cheng Lang sigh, "Come to dinner with me."
After shouting for a long time and finally spending Christmas Eve with this man, Xu Qiao didn't know what the trouble was for. Does quarrel help digestion?
She wrinkled her nose and looked at Pagani outside her eyes: "You drive by yourself?"
"Yes."
"Will the fence be erected this time?"
Cheng Lang's current condition is better than before. Looking at Xu Qiao's current attitude, it is impossible to take the initiative to make physical contact with her, so as not to get sick while driving, so he shook his head: "Not upright."
"All right." Xu Qiao nodded reluctantly, and just walked out of the apartment building side by side with Cheng Lang, two dark shadows flashed before her eyes.
"Surprise!" Jiang Fang and Shen Dang suddenly fell from the sky. Of course, it was Jiang Fang who was calling, and Shen Dang was just dragged out by him with a look of love.
Cheng Lang, Xu Qiao: "..."
Xu Qiao immediately pulled Cheng Lang's waist and hid behind him.
As soon as Cheng Lang concealed the person, he saw Jiang Fang wave his hand on the opposite side: "Hey, don't hide, I just looked at the door so clearly!"
Xu Qiao wrinkled her face, walked out from behind the human shield, and gave Cheng Lang bitterly: "Why are you still stalking someone?"
Cheng Lang also had a headache, so he looked at the two of them: "Why do you still follow me?"
"Yo yo yo, the woman and the singer are here..." Jiang Fang looked at Cheng Lang with an injured eyes of "Where is the dog food so shiny?" "I didn't follow you, we just came here to stay here. Yes, I just want to see which sister is the one who fascinates us so that we don’t even want brothers."
This Christmas Eve was originally a day when men were looking for women to celebrate the festival, but Jiang Fang and Shen Dang happened to be in the window period, and a pair of single dogs were missing one. They wanted to ask Cheng Lang to play a card to kill the night, but he said, "There are arrangements. "Refused.
Jiang Fang ran into the process wave downstairs in the apartment last time, and it was reasonable to guess this place.
Shen Dang raised his hand and surrendered: "I didn't expect to come, he was holding me."
"Don't you have your own independent personality?" Cheng Lang glanced at him.
"Yes!" Xu Qiao agreed.
Shen Dang nodded: "Okay, this is our fault. I apologize to you, but this is the end of the matter, and we can't amnesia. How about a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that Ms. Xu's whereabouts are tight-lipped?"
"So how hurtful it is to be in business!" Jiang Fang looked at Cheng Lang shyly, "Mr. Lang, let's go to the poker table. You can send me some money quickly. I promise to use 502 glue to fix this. The mouth is glued to you."
Why is this extortion? Xu Qiao was surprised.
There is really no harm if there is no comparison. When I saw this one, I felt that Cheng Lang was quite human.
Cheng Lang cast aside his eyes and smiled: "You want to go to the poker table, right?"
From this smile, Jiang Fang recalled the fear of being dominated by Cheng Lang's hand last time.
"It's okay to go to the poker table, but sending money is not something I think will work." Cheng Lang reminded him.
"I don't believe it, my card this time is so bad that you can't even give it away!"
Cheng Lang glanced at Xu Qiao, who was still confused, and nodded to Jiang Fang: "Then you can try it."
