Xu Anting's Goodwill
Qiao Qiao looked at Xu Anting in astonishment as he walked out of the car. She was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. After a long time, she finally responded, "Professor Xu, what are you doing here?"
Oh, right. Qiao Qiao remembered that Xu Anting also seemed to live in this community, but because they lived in different areas, she had never met him.
"I'm here to entertain some guests." Xu Anting smiled faintly. His gaze landed on the people of the Qiao Family behind Qiao Qiao. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "These people are …"
"They're my family." Qiao Qiao introduced him casually, and then said to her father and Aunt Joe, "Dad, Mom, this is my supervisor at school, Professor Xu."
When Aunt Joe saw that Xu Anting was a good-looking man, she was secretly surprised that Qiao Qiao knew such a rich young master. However, when she heard that he was a mentor, she immediately became respectful. "So you're Qiao Qiao's mentor! Hello, I am Joe Qiao's mother. "
"Are you Joe Qiao's mother?"
Xu Anting looked at the mediocre middle-aged woman in front of him. He looked at Qiao Qiao and Aunt Joe several times before looking at Qiao Qiao's other family members.
At that moment, Xu Anting revealed the same expression of surprise that He Shaochen had when he first met the Qiao Qiao family. His gaze lingered on Qiao Qiao and the Qiao family, revealing a trace of doubt.
However, he did not dwell too much on this matter. What he was more concerned about was where Qiao Qiao was going with her family in the middle of the night.
"Where are you going?"
"Well …" Qiao Qiao could not bring herself to say that it was not a glorious thing to do.
Xu Anting's gentle face turned serious when he saw her slightly wet eyelashes and slightly red eyes. However, it only lasted for a moment.
Xu Anting smiled and said, "It's not safe to walk around so late at night. My house is nearby. If you don't mind, would you like to stay at my place tonight?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "It's okay. We're going to a hotel."
"The nearest hotel is a two-hour walk. Qiao Qiao, can you bear to let your parents, young people, Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao's parents Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao's house?
"What? Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao? "Qiao Qiao Qiao's mother mother's words.
Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao's mother's mother's Qiao Qiao Qiao's's Qiao Qiao.
"It's no trouble at all. It's just a small matter." Xu Anting smiled faintly. He looked at Qiao Qiao with a gentle gaze. "Or are you afraid that I'm not a gentleman?"
"No! That's not what I meant! "Qiao Qiao shook her head.
However, she did not want to accept anyone's kindness, especially Xu Anting. If He Shaochen found out that she had stubbornly run away and stayed at Xu Anting's house, he would probably fly into a rage.
"If that's not what you meant, then let's go." As he spoke, Xu Anting was about to escort Qiao Qiao's father and Aunt Qiao into the car. However, Qiao Qiao Qiao stopped him and said firmly, "Professor Xu, that's not necessary."
Aunt Qiao watched the interaction between the two of them. She wanted to say something, but when she thought about what happened tonight, her heart felt stifled. She decided to be mute and keep quiet.
Qiao Qiao was very happy to see that a kind-hearted person was willing to let them stay the night. However, she was a little displeased when Qiao Qiao rejected her. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Qiao stopped her with a look.
Although Qiao Qiao Qiao had dared to be stubborn with Qiao Qiao for the first time, she did not want to quarrel with her a second time. She pouted and turned her head away in a fit of pique.
"Joe Qiao, do we need to treat each other like strangers?" Xu Anting did not expect Qiao Qiao to be so stubborn and was a little surprised. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and did not say anything.
She had tacitly agreed.
This was the man who had once made her heart throb. Although now when she saw him, her heart would no longer race like before. But to go home with a man she once had a crush on, Qiaoqiao asked herself if she could do it.
Her repeated rejections made Xu Anting feel a little disappointed.
He did not know what had happened to Qiao Qiao, but based on the fact that her family was still wandering around the neighborhood in the middle of the night, he knew that He Shaochen definitely had something to do with it.
At this moment, he was a little angry. Why did he not cherish such a good girl after taking her for himself?
And now, he even left her without a place to stay in the middle of the night? Was this something that a fiancé should do? No matter what the reason was, as long as this kind of thing happened, Xu Anting had already determined that He Shaochen did not truly love Qiao Qiao.
Xu Anting, who had silently observed Qiao Qiao for several years, knew how stubborn she was the best. He used to think that this girl's stubbornness was quite cute. Because of her stubbornness, she was able to continue on the path of scientific research without being disturbed by the outside world. Being engaged in academic work sometimes required a little stubbornness like this.
But now, this stubbornness that he used to admire was giving him an unusual headache.
Since they had already encountered this, Xu Anting could not sit idly by. It was a little sad to see a whole family carrying bags of various sizes walking around in the middle of the night.
However, Qiao Qiao did not want to go to his house, which made it difficult for him.
Qiao Qiao did not intend to make it difficult for him. She said to Xu Anting, "Professor Xu, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. This … After all, it's my family's business … so …"
"Are you planning to go to Lai An Hotel?" As far as he knew, that was the closest hotel in this community.
Qiao Qiao nodded silently. He Shaochen also told her this address.
Xu Anting sighed and said to Qiao Qiao, "Wait a moment. I'll make a phone call."
Qiao Qiao blinked and looked at Xu Anting, who had his back to them. He took out his phone and called his friend. She was a little puzzled.
Before long, Xu Anting hung up the phone and walked over to Qiao Qiao. He said to her, "Since you don't want to go to my house, I won't force you."
Qiao Qiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Anting interrupted her. "But I've already asked my friend to get a taxi. Please wait a moment."
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao froze and felt a little embarrassed. "Professor Xu, you …"
Xu Anting stopped Qiao Qiao from saying anything else. He smiled gently and shifted his gaze to her father and Aunt Joe. "Your parents aren't young anymore. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't torment them."
When Qiaoqiao heard this, she also looked at Father Qiao and Mother Qiao. Father Qiao was also in his fifties this year. His hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles. Mother Qiao's situation was not good either. She had cried too much just now, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She looked miserable.
