Chapter 463 Did You Argue With My Brother?

The next day, at five o'clock in the evening.

The private business jet landed again at Nanyang International Airport.

Li Qiao stepped down the gangway with tired steps, returned to the parking lot, got into the car and took out her mobile phone.

Coincidentally, as soon as she turned off the airplane mode, the call came in.

Li Qiao leaned against the back of the chair, saw the caller ID, cleared her throat, and swipe to answer: "Hello~"

Her voice is very hoarse, and it is not difficult to discern a trace of softness after waking up after listening carefully.

"Still busy?" On the phone, Shang Yu's tone was normal, except that his low voice was deeper than usual.

Li Qiao supported the steering wheel and looked at the slanting sunset outside the window, and responded casually, "Well, I just finished my work and plan to go home."

After finishing speaking, she remembered that Shang Zonghai seemed to be coming tomorrow Monday, so she chased after him, "When will uncle arrive tomorrow?"

The man was silent for a few seconds on the receiver, and sighed faintly, "I will arrive in the morning, go home and rest early."

Li Qiao wanted to finish her sentence, but a busy tone came from the phone.

She looked at her phone, a little dazed.

Temporarily unable to figure it out, Li Qiao didn't think deeply about it, started the car and turned the steering wheel, and noticed the watch box she put on the dashboard with a glance.

Just going back to Li's house tonight, she can disassemble the contents of this watch.

It's not that I don't want to take it with me last night, but to go to a place like the border, the less characteristics of the items on my body, the better.

...

After returning to Li's house, Li Qiao entered the villa directly from the back door of the garage.

A little tired, she changed her clothes and lay on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling before falling asleep.

One day and one night, she only slept for a few hours on the plane. At this moment, the room was comfortable and quiet, and her exhaustion flooded her body like a tide.

Half asleep and half awake, someone knocked on the door, Li Qiao opened her eyelids, and said softly, "Come in."

The door opened a gap, Zong Yue probed inside with red eyes, "Are you really back?"

Li Qiao half propped up her body and waved to her, her tone was sluggish and listless, "What's the matter, what do you need from me?"

Zong Yue moved in step by step, closed the door smoothly, went to the corner of the bed and sat down, lowered his head and said, "It's nothing, but just now I heard from the housekeeper that you are back, so I just wanted to come up to see you."

She has been staying in Nanyang recently, and Duan Shuyuan would call her to Li's house as a guest because she was bored when she was free.

Although everyone in the Li family was very polite to her, she felt more and more uneasy.

Perhaps Li Jun didn't love her, so this unease was amplified even more.

Li Qiao stood up and sat up from the bed, bent one leg, and looked at Zong Yue with her knees on her arms, "Did you quarrel with my brother?"

Zong Yue's expression was very gentle, but there was a lingering regret in his brows.

"No, he's so busy that he doesn't even have time to talk, so why would he quarrel with me?"

Zong Yue glanced at Li Qiao hurriedly, met her dark eyes, and looked away as if avoiding, for fear that his thoughts would be hidden in front of her.

Seeing her lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers, Li Qiao couldn't help scratching her messy ponytail, "Then why are you crying?"

The corners of Zong Yue's eyes twitched, "Crying?"

She took advantage of the opportunity to look at the mirror standing by the wall, saw her red eyes, looked back at Li Qiao faintly, "I didn't cry, my cornea is inflamed..."

"Oh." Li Qiao looked at her red eyes with a smile, "I thought my elder brother bullied you."

Zong Yue whispered, "I hope he bullies me."

Right.

At any rate, she is the daughter of the Hongmen family and has been trained in the military.

A girl like Zong Yue only looks gentle, but she must have the tenacity not to admit defeat in her bones.

It's really not her style to complain about yourself alone.

After a long while, Li Qiao propped her forehead, and her sleepiness also dissipated a lot, "Did you come to see me for a chat or a heart-to-heart talk?"

"I just want to come to you later." Zong Yue also noticed her sleepy look, rolled his eyes, and said, "Shall I make you a cup of coffee?"

Li Qiao closed her eyes slightly and raised her eyebrows, just because she didn't want her to sleep?

She pulled her lips dryly, "Sister-in-law is really caring."

"You're welcome." Zong Yue walked out the door with a pair of red eyes.

Li Qiao didn't stop her, she got out of bed to wash her face, then went to the balcony and sat down.

Zong Yue seems to be in a bad mood, living in Nanyang, with no relatives or friends, probably only when he is with his peer Li Qiao, can he find a sense of steadfastness.

The sunset is all over the sky, and the scenery is unique.

Li Qiao took a sip of the pure coffee that Zong Yue gave her, and looked at Bo Yun in the sky, "Have you gone to the hospital?"

Zong Yue glanced at her, raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye, "Go, the doctor said it was corneal inflammation caused by bacterial infection."

Li Qiao frowned, "How long?"

"Three days, but the doctor prescribed me medicine and said it's not too serious. I'll go see it in a few days."

Li Qiao looked at her thoughtfully. She was in a foreign country and got sick again, so her mood was inevitably depressed. After a while, she asked, "My elder brother doesn't know?"

Zong Yue's expression froze subtly, and he smiled, "He's in a meeting out of town, so there's no need to tell him about such a trivial matter."

Li Qiao didn't speak, she took a sip of her coffee, and after a while, she took out her phone and poked the screen a few times.

In less than twenty minutes, the butler came up and asked them to go downstairs for dinner. The two of them had just reached the corner when the phone in Zong Yue's pocket rang.

She was a little surprised when she saw the caller ID, but her eyes were obviously excited, "I'll answer the call first."

Li Qiao walked forward with one hand in her pocket, and gave a faint 'hmm'.

Zong Yue walked to the window, and when connected, he spoke first, "Why call me at this time, are you done?"

Although it was the weekend, but Li Jun said that there are a lot of entertainment recently, so no matter how much she missed him, she didn't dare to disturb him.

"Not yet." There was a faint voice in the microphone, and a few seconds later, accompanied by his footsteps, the surrounding area became quieter, and Li Jun's voice came again, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Zong Yue was startled, and subconsciously denied, "It's okay."

"Why didn't you tell me about the corneal inflammation?" Li Jun's calm and thick voice was full of dissatisfaction, and before Zong Yue could speak, he seemed to sigh, "You go to eat first."

Zong Yue opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, the phone had already hung up.

Who is this?

Calling just to complain about her?

To say he's a piece of wood is an understatement.

Zong Yue held the phone in a daze for a long time, feeling a little indescribably depressed.

She didn't think eye inflammation was a big deal at first, and at that time Duan Shuyuan said she would call Li Jun back, she was afraid that he would think she was too delicate, so she didn't let her tell Li Jun.

On the other side, Li Jun, who was out of town, told his secretary after finishing the call: "You can deal with the wine bureau inside. If you ask me, you can say that I went to the grassroots for investigation."
