Chapter 316 Qiao Chuchu has a nightmare
Inside Lishui Residence, Qiao Chuchu was sitting on the sofa, looking at her laptop and revising her essay.
On the side, Huo Ziyan was reading quietly.
The phone rang and Qiao Chuchu answered it.
"Sister, have you received everything?"
A few days ago, she sent some special products from Beijing, as well as new clothes from her mother's store, to Qiao Shuiqing, and bought toys for her little niece.
New Year’s Eve is in three days, so this can be considered a New Year’s gift.
"Got it, got it."
Qiao Chuchu hummed, and then asked, "Has uncle finished taking his medicine? Remember to remind him to take it on time. I bought some nutritional supplements for uncle, and they will probably arrive tomorrow."
Qiao Shuiqing said quickly: "Okay, okay, don't worry about the things at home, I have prepared the New Year's goods."
"Sister, I won't go back this year. You and uncle should have a good New Year."
There are still many things to do in Beijing, and there are always various activities during the New Year. The Jing family has already informed her that she needs to visit many elders.
Human interactions are inevitable.
"Ok, I know."
Qiao Shuiqing said, as if she had thought of something, "Chu Chu, has Zhou Su called you recently?"
Zhou Su?
Why did she suddenly ask about this person?
Qiao Chuchu said truthfully: "No."
Qiao Zhengrong has already dissolved his marriage with Zhou Su. Because of a serious illness, Qiao Zhengrong has completely given up on this second wife who has been with him for many years and will no longer tolerate her.
However, he was very kind to Zhou Su, even though Zhou Su had not worked for many years and had been supported by Qiao Zhengrong, and Qiao Zhengrong took care of all the big and small matters at home. It could not be said that Zhou Su had made any contribution to the family.
However, when they divorced, Qiao Zhengrong still gave Zhou Su a sum of money. Although it was not much, it was enough for her to live a stable life for a few years.
"When we just got divorced, Zhou Su was unwilling to accept it and kept asking for money, saying that our division of property was unfair. She also asked around for Qiao Tianlin's whereabouts. I heard that Qiao Tianlin left her and went abroad."
"But she hasn't been making any noise during this period. She's been surprisingly quiet. I don't know where she went. I still find it strange. Chuchu, she didn't harass you, did she?"
Qiao Shuiqing was worried, even though she knew that it was unlikely that Zhou Su would go to Beijing to cause trouble.
After all, Chu Chu is not the biological daughter of the Qiao family, and now she has nothing to do with Zhou Su. Zhou Su has no right to get entangled with her, but she is afraid that she is too thick-skinned and shameless.
"No." Qiao Chuchu responded.
She couldn't help but think of Qiao Tianlin, that man. She really didn't know where he had gone.
The last time he came to Beijing, he touched her. She called the police and learned that he was detained for a few days. Qiao Chuchu never cared about his subsequent situation.
But now from what Qiao Shuiqing said, there is no news about Zhou Su and Qiao Tianlin?
This is a bit strange.
At night, in the bedroom, Qiao Chuchu lay on the bed and looked at the man beside her.
"Honey, let me ask you something."
Huo Yunzheng turned over and held the person in his arms.
"what happened?"
Qiao Chuchu wanted to look up, but her head just touched his chin.
"Zhou Su and Qiao Tianlin, have you asked anyone to look for them? Sister Shui Qing said that they can no longer be contacted."
Qiao Chuchu asked, but she already had some guesses in her mind.
"Huo Yunzheng, are they...are they still alive?"
She knew that Huo Yunzheng's hands were not completely clean. He employed so many people to work for him. Qiao Chuchu was not a naive person. She understood everything.
"Ah."
Huo Yunzheng simply nodded without saying much. There were some things he didn't want to tell Qiao Chuchu directly, causing her to worry too much.
"I just asked someone to remind Zhou Su not to make trouble. Don't worry, she is alive and well."
Huo Yunzheng did not mention Qiao Tianlin.
He bent down and kissed his wife's face, gently patting her back with his hands.
"Don't worry about these things, just go to sleep."
Qiao Chuchu closed her eyes and tried her best not to think or guess.
She could hear her breathing becoming slightly heavier, and seeing that she was gradually falling asleep, Huo Yunzheng covered her with the quilt, then stood up and put on his slippers.
The balcony door behind him was closed. He stood in the night, with only the faint light from the cigarette on his fingertips.
His hands were already stained with blood.
But to him, nothing mattered. Even if he had too much blood debt and there would be retribution, he would bear it alone.
He wanted his Chuchu to live in a stable and beautiful environment, and no one or anything could bring her trouble or danger.
I stood outside for nearly half an hour and felt cold all over.
Huo Yunzheng rubbed his hands warm before lying back on the bed and holding her in his arms.
Just when I was feeling sleepy, I heard a sobbing sound.
Huo Yunzheng felt that the person in his arms seemed to be trembling, and he immediately raised his hand to turn on the bedside lamp.
Qiao Chuchu frowned, with cold sweat on her head. She was saying something and looked very painful.
She had a dream. In the dream, there were Qiao Tianlin, Huo Jiayuan, and even Tang Qing and Xue Haibo from the past...
They were chasing her, holding all kinds of sticks, trying to beat her to death, and no matter how she ran, she couldn't escape.
Someone grabbed her arm, but she didn't know who it was because she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
Someone tied her back with a rope and pushed her into the vast ocean.
My body continued to fall, and an unbearable feeling of suffocation filled my whole body.
"Chu Chu, Chu Chu."
She heard a familiar voice in her ears and felt her body being shaken. She opened her eyes with difficulty and tears fell uncontrollably.
"husband--"
Qiao Chuchu threw herself into Huo Yunzheng's arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, and her sense of security gradually returned.
"Having a nightmare?"
Huo Yunzheng asked worriedly and kept comforting her.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, it's okay."
He took out two tissues, wiped the tears from her face, and patiently coaxed her to sleep.
Fortunately, she didn't have nightmares afterwards and slept until dawn.
Qiao Chuchu thought that she was overly nervous because she thought too much before going to bed.
Before going to bed the next night, she drank a cup of hot milk and told herself over and over again not to think about those people and things anymore, because they were the ones who made the mistake first.
But things went against her wishes and it happened again. She woke up from a nightmare. This time, she was sweaty all over and her pajamas stuck to her body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
Qiao Chuchu had a nightmare.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Ke rushed over with all his stuff.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Are you trying to exorcise ghosts or demons? You really are a witch!"
Lin Ze came here with Xu Ke. Along the way, he saw her holding a box tightly and thought she was carrying some treasure.
So, she took out a bundle of incense sticks? And a piece of yellow paper?
When I first met her, I watched her live broadcast doing fortune-telling and fooling people in some mysterious way.
"Chu Chu, don't worry, I'm here, I will definitely let you sleep peacefully and have a good new year."
Xu Ke patted his chest, looking very confident.
Watching her mumbling seriously, she lit up some incense sticks, and bowed towards the courtyard while holding the incense in her hand.
Lin Ze stood aside, slightly surprised, his eyes opened much wider than usual, "Oh my goodness, you really can do it?"
