Chapter 209 Her Best Friend 3
"What's going on? I heard you moved away, but I didn't know where you went. I asked many people, but no one knew where you went." Qiao Xia asked worriedly.
"Don't mention the past anymore. It's all bitter tears. I've changed my name to Xu Ai now."
Xu Ai's original name was Tang Ai. She was Qiao Xia's playmate. When she was a child, she often lived with her grandmother. Xu Ai's family and her grandmother were neighbors. Xu Ai was four years older than Qiao Xia. She often took Qiao Xia and Qiao Dong to play together. She called Qiao Xia Da Qiao and Qiao Dong Xiao Qiao. She often joked that they were the reincarnations of the ancient Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and they were all beauties.
The two have been in the same school. In her memory, Xu Ai was a very shy and gentle person, but very opinionated. She was a top student since she was a child. She was not panicked when things happened, and she was very stable. When she was a child, she especially liked to play with Xu Ai. Xu Ai was not only her childhood playmate, but also her best friend.
When she was in high school, she suddenly lost contact with Xu Ai for a while. She went to Xu Ai's house to look for her, but the door was closed. The neighbors said that the mother and daughter had moved away and disappeared. She asked many people and went to the school to ask, but there was still no trace. Unexpectedly, five years later, her childhood sweetheart suddenly came back.
"What happened?" When she heard her say that she had a car accident and her face was ruined, her heart ached. Although Xu Ai was not as beautiful as she is now, she was also a pretty lady. How terrible a car accident can change a person completely.
"I was told not to mention it, but you must know." Xu Ai smiled, "My mother was addicted to gambling. She left in a hurry because she borrowed high-interest loans. Who knew something happened on the way? Later, we went to other provinces to hide. I got an invitation from a foreign university and went abroad to study for a few years. Da Qiao, I want to ask you a question. Did I have a love relationship when I was in college?"
"Ah..." Qiao Xia was at a loss. She thought hard, "I don't think I've heard you say that you were in love. You were so busy after entering college. I had a heavy workload in high school and rarely saw you."
"Sister Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
"I seem to have lost a memory and I can't remember it."
"Ah..." Qiao Xia was stunned, "It's so ridiculous. I can lose my memory. Can't you remember anything?"
"I can't remember."
"Then why didn't you ask anything but asked me if I had a love relationship?"
Xu Ai, "..."
Of course, this is because of some special reasons.
But it's not convenient to tell Qiao Xia at the moment.
"Da Qiao, let's not talk about me. How are you? Have you been doing well these past few years?"
"Not bad." Qiao Xia is a person who will let bygones be bygones no matter how many grievances she has suffered. She values the future more than the past. Xu Ai didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't continue to ask, "You're back, you won't leave, will you?"
"No."
"Where's Aunt?" Qiao Xia asked.
Xu Ai's eyebrows were cold, "She is stubborn and loves gambling. No matter what I say, she won't change. I have no choice. For now, I try to reduce contact with her. Apart from giving her a sum of money every month, I don't know how to get along with her. When I was in the most difficult time, I almost starved to death on the street. I had no money to treat my illness, and she would rather go gambling and didn't give me a penny. This time when I came back, I didn't tell her, and left a card for her. I sent a little money on time every month. It was considered filial piety. If it was me alone, it didn't matter how she dragged me down. Now... forget it, it's better not to mention it."
