Chapter 390 Reencounter with an Acquaintance from a Past Life
Reading Settings
Qiao Qiao, carrying a small dog sugar figurine and a small horse sugar figurine in each hand, was being carried out of the alley by Qiao Changdong when they ran into a middle-aged man.
The man, dressed smartly, seemed to have been waiting at the alley entrance. When he saw them come out, he smiled and greeted them, saying to Wang Sheng, who was walking at the front, "Xiao Sheng, is this your file? You forgot it in the back seat."
Wang Sheng took it and looked at it, then immediately nodded: "It's mine, thank you Uncle Huang."
"No need to thank me, it's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." As the middle-aged man called Uncle Huang said this, he nodded to Qiao Changdong, who was walking at the very back, as a greeting.
Qiao Changdong smiled and nodded in response.
Qiao Qiao, who was being held in his arms, finally managed to look away from the sugar figurine in her hands and then saw this middle-aged man.
When her gaze fell on the middle-aged man's face, she froze, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Uncle Huang," she called out unconsciously.
"Eh? You know me?" Uncle Huang was about to turn around when he heard Qiao Qiao's voice, so he subconsciously turned back and looked over, asking in confusion.
Qiao Qiao's expression was a mixture of bewilderment and shock.
She certainly recognized the middle-aged man in front of her.
In her previous life, after her father died, Grandma Qiao went to Kyoto to stay with her for a month, but during that month, Grandma Qiao rarely stayed in the small villa.
And every time the car picked them up and dropped them off, it was a middle-aged man who came to pick them up and drop them off.
The middle-aged man's name was Huang Yiliang, and she called him Uncle Huang.
In her previous life, Qiao Qiao had never thought about who that Uncle Huang was.
My immediate thought was that the other person might be a driver hired by Shen Qingrong, since Grandma Qiao shouldn't have the money to hire a driver and would be picked up and dropped off in a car.
At that time, she never even considered where Grandma Qiao went after leaving the villa.
But now that she sees Huang Yiliang, all the things that Qiao Qiao overlooked in her previous life have come to light.
Of course, more importantly, how did this person end up here?
Seeing that Qiao Qiao's face was not right, even a little pale, and seeing the way she called out unconsciously, Qiao Changdong immediately guessed what was going on and hugged the little girl in his arms tighter.
He pressed Qiao Qiao's head into his chest and asked Huang Yiliang across from him, "Who are you?"
"Ah, I'm the Wang family's driver. I'm usually responsible for picking up and dropping off Madam Wang at get off work and the children at school," Huang Yiliang explained.
"I see. Then you can continue with your work." Qiao Changdong nodded.
Although Huang Yiliang felt that Qiao Qiao, whom Qiao Changdong was holding, reacted a little strangely after seeing him, he didn't think much of it.
He had heard from the Wang family children about two weeks ago that their grandfather had found his long-lost sister and that she would be coming to stay with them soon.
He recognized Qiao Changdong immediately when he saw him.
He had seen what Wang Mingcheng looked like in his middle age, and the current Qiao Changdong bore a striking resemblance to him.
Therefore, he immediately guessed Qiao Changdong's identity.
While Qiao Changdong and Huang Yiliang were talking, Wang Jun and Wu Yu, who were also leisurely strolling around the alley entrance, also noticed the commotion.
However, seeing that there was no danger, the two did not go forward.
However, as Huang Yiliang walked away, Tang Feng, who had been hiding in a corner, followed him.
After Huang Yiliang left, Qiao Qiao was still in shock.
She recalled some of her previous doubts.
Actually, she had always had a question.
In her previous life, after her father died, how exactly did her grandmother find her and persuade Shen Qingrong to let her stay with her?
Now that I think about it, could it be because in her past life, her grandmother had already found her long-lost older brother, Wang Mingcheng?
Did Wang Mingcheng help her grandmother find her?
Then, then, does Grandma know what Shen Qingrong was thinking in his previous life?
Qiao Qiao shook her head.
I don't know, the milk definitely doesn't know.
At that time, Shen Qingrong had not yet revealed his true colors to her, so it's not surprising that he deceived her grandmother.
Having figured these things out, Qiao Qiao's pale face quickly regained its color.
After returning to the courtyard house, Qiao Changdong made up an excuse to send the three boys away first, then carried Qiao Qiao back to her room and asked her what had happened.
Qiao Qiao did not hide anything.
I explained it to Qiao Changdong using the form of tiny bubbles on my head.
Finally, she nestled her little head against Qiao Changdong's chest and whispered, "Daddy, I didn't mean it. I don't know why I thought that way."
Qiao Qiao was also surprised. When she saw Huang Yiliang, her first reaction was to wonder if Grandma Qiao knew Shen Qingrong's purpose in taking her away in her previous life.
This suspicion is not even based on anything.
Because when her father died, Shen Qingrong had not yet revealed his true colors to her, let alone to others, much less spread the word.
Qiao Changdong remained silent for a long time.
He didn't say anything, but simply lowered his head and kissed the top of Qiao Qiao's head, holding tightly his most cherished treasure from both his past and present lives.
The force was so strong that it seemed as if it wished it could melt this tiny bundle into its own bones and blood, never to be separated again.
He lowered his head, resting his chin on her forehead, and whispered, "It's okay, this has nothing to do with my sweetheart. My sweetheart still has Daddy. Daddy will always love you, remember?"
Qiao Qiao said she didn't know why, but Qiao Changdong knew perfectly well that his daughter had lost all trust in her mother because of her mother's favoritism.
"Yes, yes, I will always love Daddy too," Qiao Qiao said, tilting her head back with bright, sparkling eyes.
What Qiao Qiao didn't say was that she had recently started to diligently read the books that Long Yijun had left for her.
Although Long Yijun had said before that the people of this world were not suitable for cultivating immortality.
However, Qiao Qiao still wanted her father to give it a try, so she has been studying books diligently recently, hoping to find a breakthrough.
She thought that even if her father couldn't become an immortal, it would be good if he could extend his life by several hundred years. At the very least, he could stay in this world with her until her mother came to pick her up.
Around 4 PM, Wang Xinghua, Wu Meiyun, and Wang Zhenhua all returned, and the group prepared to go to the Jinping Hotel for dinner.
The group consisted of more than ten people, plus Wang Jun, the bodyguard Shen Qingyan had hired for Qiao Qiao, Tang Feng, and Wu Yu, who also came along.
Shen Qingyan has some unfinished business in Kyoto and won't be coming until midnight tonight.
Having encountered someone from his past life again, even though the other party might not pose any threat, Qiao Changdong still insisted on holding Qiao Qiao in his arms without relying on others.
