Chapter 49

The middle-aged uncle was silent for a moment, then turned around, and pulled the young guy in the driver's seat. Their heads were touching and they were discussing something in a low voice.

Qiao Ai leaned against the back of the back seat, crossed her arms with both hands, looked at the strong men on the left and right, and asked curiously: "How much does my father owe you?"

The strong man on the left said, "24."

"Are you lending money?"

The strong man on the right replied: "No, we are engaged in decoration. You know the decoration company opened by your father, right?"

"Ah."

"He often outsources work to us. He has never been in arrears before. This year, he has not paid the two work money that was contracted to us. More than a dozen of us are waiting for the money to be used."

"how many people?"

"Twelve, [-] each."

"Oh."

"We heard about your parents, sorry for you."

Qiao Ai nodded, and looked at the middle-aged uncle, who was still talking to the young guy.

The two discussed for a long time, and the middle-aged uncle finally turned his face and said fiercely to her: "I don't care, we need this money, your father owes it, you have to pay it back."

"I have no money."

"Then figure it out yourself."

Qiao Ai snorted, and said with a serious face: "Uncle, let me give you some popular science. My father's company went bankrupt, and my house has been taken back by the bank. In addition, I did not inherit my parents' inheritance. , because they left me nothing, that is to say, I have no obligation to help them pay back the debt.”

The four people in the car were all taken aback after hearing this.

Qiao Ai said again: "If you don't believe me, I will give you the contact information of the lawyer who handles these matters, and Lawyer Wang will tell you clearly."

After saying that, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, then took out a pen and paper from her schoolbag, wrote down Lawyer Wang's phone number, and handed it to the middle-aged uncle.

The latter took the note and glanced at the number on it. It was indeed the number of Jiangbei City.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

The middle-aged uncle shook his head.

They came to Qiao Ai just to get the money back, but the trip obviously didn't go as smoothly as expected. Who would have thought that Qiao Yang left nothing for his daughter.

Qiao Ai glanced at the time on her phone, it was past ten o'clock, and there were a few new WeChat messages that she hadn't read yet, so she didn't rush to read them, but glanced at the middle-aged uncle and smiled slightly, "It's getting late, You send me back, do you know where I live?"

Middle-aged uncle: ...

Young guy: ...

The strong men on both sides looked at each other: ...

Twenty minutes later, the silver van stopped outside the Bishuiwan community.

The middle-aged uncle stared at Qiao Ai helplessly, and said angrily: "We will contact this lawyer Wang. If you dare to lie to us, we will come again."

Qiao Ai let out an 'oh', "Can I go?"

"..."

Seeing the four people in the car looking at each other, and having nothing to say, Qiao Ai opened the door and got out of the car, and waved at the people in the car, "Thank you for taking me back."

The four faces are stunned: ...

After returning home safely, Qiao Ai checked the messages on her phone as soon as she entered the door. There were two messages from Shen Tian, ​​and one message from Jiang Che.

Shen Tian: "Have you arrived home, did the teacher make things difficult for you?"

"I'm so worried. I'd better admit my mistake to the teacher tomorrow."

She replied 'I'm home' and clicked on the message from Jiang Che: "Where is it?"

In order not to worry Jiang Che, she lied, "Do homework at home."

Jiang Che should be quite relaxed at the moment, and soon sent another message: "Are you being disobedient and taking the bus home again?"

"No, I was lucky today and got a ride."

"Didn't lie to me?"

"Don't dare."

"Very good, go to bed early after writing."

She sent a cute nodding emoticon, but Jiang Che didn't reply.

……

The next day, Jiang Che came back with breakfast and ate at home. Jiang Che drove Qiao Ai to school. They all silently looked at the rearview mirror along the way, but the silver van did not appear today.

The car parked near the school, and because there was no parking space, Jiang Che parked the car on the side of the road.

Qiao Ai got off the car with her schoolbag on her back, waved to Jiang Che, and said goodbye.

In the next few days, Qiao Ai completely forgot about the four bill payers. Her birthday happened to be Sunday, so Jiang Che took a day off and started organizing her birthday party early.

He would ask for leave, not only because it was her birthday, but also because he was going to a certain coffee shop to have a blind date with a certain woman this afternoon.

The living room is hung with balloons and various cute decorations, as well as happy birthday banners. The birthday atmosphere is full, but there are not many Christmas decorations in the home.

After the scene was set up, Jiang Che received a call from the cake shop that the birthday cake was ready.

"I'm going to pick up the cake, you stay at home obediently, if the meal is delivered, you take it." Jiang Che reminded before going out.

She watched Jiang Che go out, then went back to her room to get a book, and sat on the sofa in the living room to read it boringly.

Less than 10 minutes after Jiang Che left, the doorbell rang. She thought the big meal had arrived, so she put down her book and got up to open the door. As a result, the door opened, and the person standing outside was not a delivery man, but a courier boy.

"There is an international package from Qiao Ai." The courier boy looked up at her after confirming the recipient repeatedly.

"it's me."

"Sign here."

After signing it, she took the package from the courier brother. It was a heavy box, but it was not big. She kicked the door, moved the box in, put it on the tea table, and glanced at the sender's message , is Jiang Sheng.

Sure enough, he sent a birthday present as promised.

She found a pair of scissors and opened the box. Unexpectedly, there was a box of painting supplies inside.

In addition to the drawing book, pens and paints, there is also a small flat rectangular box. After opening, there is a hand-painted board inside.

She has been influenced by anime since she was a child, and she likes drawing very much. After her parents got busy with the company's business, she rarely saw them.

Can't wait to connect the drawing board to the computer and install it. She downloaded a drawing software and used it on the computer. The pressure-sensitive pen feels good.She has always wanted a drawing board, and her parents had promised her that they would give her a drawing board for her birthday this year, but before her birthday came, they passed away unexpectedly.

Thinking of this, her eyes were red and she shed two tears.

Sniffing, she quickly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, got up and walked out of the room, went to the living room, sorted out the other painting supplies in the box, and unexpectedly found that there was a handwritten birthday card inside.

There was a big headshot on the card. He was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and his smile was very sunny. It should be Jiang Sheng himself.

The handwriting on the card is elegant and handsome——Happy birthday to little Qiao Ai. It's a pity that uncle can't come back to celebrate your birthday with you, but uncle hopes you are happy every day. I will be back soon and will bring you a cute little gift .
