He originally thought that Chang Kele, who received special treatment, would be bullied by other senior old servants.She is a servant, and everyone else is also a servant, why can she live in the guest room when she just arrived?Why do you get the attention and love of your mother-in-law who often comes to visit?

That's right, Qiao Bin is absolutely correct in thinking so.At the beginning, as he thought, Chang Kele was unanimously excluded by the servants, but this situation did not last long, and soon he discovered that she had become one with the others and became one of them.

He thought she couldn't bear being bullied by everyone, and then she left Qiao's house with tears in her eyes. In this way, she would disappear from his eyes without him doing anything.

From the beginning to the end, he agreed to let her come to Qiao's house as a servant, all because of his mother-in-law's face, because he didn't want to hurt his friendship with her mother-in-law because of Chang Kele, a woman who appeared out of nowhere.

However, if she left by herself, it would have nothing to do with him.

With this thought in mind, Qiao Bin has been waiting.However, the facts told him that the day when she left voluntarily was still far away.

Why can she conquer the hearts of everyone so quickly?

After returning home that night, he stepped into the hall, and Qiao Bin immediately saw his mother greet him with a smile.

"What's so happy?" He asked with a smile.

"Come here, I have something to show you." Mother Qiao happily led her son to the dining room, where there were plate after plate of delicious dishes on the rectangular mahogany tabletop.

"What's so interesting about this? Isn't it the same as usual?" Qiao Bin didn't quite understand what his mother was fussing about. In the past, the meals at home were so rich!

"Look carefully." Qiao's mother pretended.

He followed his words and watched carefully for a while, "If you really want to say there is any difference, it is that the cook has regressed. Look, the previous plate arrangement is much more refined!"

"You bastard!" Hearing this, Mother Qiao tapped her son lightly.

"Did I said wrong thing?"

"I did all of this." She finally told the truth.

Thinking he heard it wrong, Qiao Bin was stunned for half a second.

"Mom, this joke is not funny." Everyone knows Mrs. Qiao's family doesn't know how to cook!

"Who is joking with you?" Seeing that her son didn't believe it, Mother Qiao didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

"Are you serious?" Qiao Bin looked at his mother's serious face, as if she was joking.

"of course."

"But..." The suspicion in his chest persisted.

"Because your mother and I have a good master!" Qiao's mother kindly cleared up the doubts for her son, "I have been receiving secret training these days, just to give each of you an unexpected surprise."

It turns out she succeeded!

"Good master? Who?"

A bad premonition suddenly rose.

"Hehe, who else is there?" Mother Qiao turned her head, "Come out, Le'er."

Mother Qiao smiled and pushed the shy Chang Kele forward.

"Mrs. Qiao, you praise me too much. In fact, I didn't teach you much. You are smart enough to learn."

"Although these words are nice to hear, I am very aware of how poor my craftsmanship is!" She has been cooking far away for so many years, which is the best proof, "Without your patient guidance, I don't think I will have any dreams in this life." You can enter the kitchen, let alone cook a good meal."

Qiao Bin stared straight at Chang Kele.This woman actually subdued his mother?
"I'll go up and change first." He turned around and strode upstairs.

"Bin, don't you want to try some first?" Mother Qiao shouted from behind.

"I'll eat it later." He didn't look back.

After returning to the room, he changed into a set of more comfortable casual clothes, and before going out, he saw his mother waiting at the door of his room.

"what happened?"

"Bin, do you dislike Le'er?"

"How could it be?" Qiao Bin smiled.He thought he was covering up well.

Mother likes Chang Kele, and he is not blind, how could he not see it?If he directly said that he was worried about Chang Kele's bad intentions, I'm afraid it would hurt his mother's heart.

"Really?" Mother Qiao was still a little skeptical.

"Of course it's true, why did you lie to me?"

"It's good that you don't like Le'er." Mother Qiao let out a breath, her eyes darkened. "To be honest, since Xin was gone, there has been no laughter in this family. Although you often have a smiling face, Mom knows that Xin's incident has given you a big blow!"

Hearing this, Qiao Bin couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Every time he heard Qiao Xin's name, he couldn't contain the sadness and anger in his heart.Even after so long, the pain of losing his sister still tortured him severely.

"Bin, after so many years, I think...we should let go of it completely!" She held her son's big hand, "Xin's matter was not anyone's fault, your father, me and you, don't blame yourself anymore .”

Mother Qiao knew that after the accident, Qiao Bin was the one who blamed herself the most among the three.

The younger sister who has always been cared and cared for in the palm of his hand chose to stay away from them when he was concentrating on the business he just took over...

"I see, Mom." Although he agreed in this way, Qiao Bin knew that it was impossible for him to just let it go.

"The atmosphere at home has always been bad, and it didn't change until Le'er came." Talking about Chang Kele, Qiao's mother smiled, "I think this is a very good time, and it's time for us to get out of the haze and start again. Said It sounds unbelievable, it seems that it is easy to feel happy by Le'er's side, she... and her name really match!"

"That's right." Qiao Bin agreed.

"Don't laugh at me when you say it. Sometimes, I feel that Le'er is Xin's incarnation. Not only are they the same age, but they even have similar voices."

If Qiao Xin hadn't died six years ago, she would be 26 years old this year.

"God cruelly took Xin away from us. In order to compensate us, he sent Leer to fill Xin's vacancy. With her by my side, I feel like I have a daughter again."

"Isn't that all right?" Qiao Bin hugged his mother lightly, "Xin's not here, You Le'er will accompany you."

Originally, he thought that hearing his mother say that Chang Kele replaced Qiao Xin would ignite his anger. After all, in his heart, his sister was only Qiao Xin, and no one could replace her!However, unexpectedly, he was not angry...

That's all!What do you think about these things?Chang Kele will leave Qiao's house sooner or later!Her affairs are not worth his worrying at all!

Subconsciously resisting Chang Kele's entry into his heart, Qiao Bin closed his eyes and erased her images and lingering sounds from his brain one by one...

Ever since he was sensible, Qiao Bin set two goals for himself——

First, revive the reputation of Trader Joe's, so that those who looked down on them when their family fell down will be surprised.

Qiao's used to dominate the department store industry when his grandfather was in power, but in his father's generation, he suffered great changes and his power was not as good as before.

At that time, Qiao Bin was young, but the idea of ​​revitalizing the family business had been deeply rooted in his mind. In his eyes, no one was qualified to be the leader of the department store industry except them, Qiao's!

After receiving a Ph.D. in business administration from Harvard at the age of 24, Qiao Bin immediately returned to Taiwan to take over the company. Under his wise leadership, Trader Joe's regained the leading position in the department store industry in just three years, and then he spent another three years The time will further consolidate Joe's unshakable position.

The first goal, he did it without a doubt, and he did it flawlessly.

And his second goal is to protect everyone in the Qiao family and prevent them from being harmed in the slightest.

However, Qiao Xin's suicide has put an indelible stain on his life plan, and this has strengthened Qiao Bin's determination to achieve his second goal.

In order to ensure that his aging parents can still enjoy their old age after the pain of losing their daughter, he must rule out all possible potential crises!

He would never allow any accidents to happen to anyone in the Qiao family after Qiao Xin, that's why he was wary of Chang Kele whose origin was unknown.

But, the strange thing is, the more he gets along with her, his prejudice against her seems to... disappear day by day!

The most impressive one was when he accidentally bumped into her in the garden——

Qiao Bin, who just came to the garden to take a breather after finishing the heavy work in the study, saw Chang Kele arranging the flowers and plants in the garden when he came to the flower garden.

It was late at night, and all the servants dreamed that Duke Zhou would go there, and only Chang Kele and Qiao Bin who suddenly appeared in the huge garden.

With a natural smile on his face, Chang Kele squatted down and carefully took care of the poorly growing flowers and plants in the flower garden.

The sky was dark, and she brought an extra-large flashlight to facilitate her work. Witnessing this scene, Qiao Bin's first reaction was—why did she pick the night to tidy up the garden?Wouldn't it be faster and better to do it in broad daylight?At least the line of sight is unobstructed.

Doing this kind of thing in the middle of the night is obviously not to show how hardworking she is and to establish the image of a good servant, he understands this very well.

If he hadn't happened to come here, no one would have known that Chang Kele had tidied the flower garden at night.

Is he worrying too much?Should we let go of our wariness towards her?
Qiao Bin couldn't help asking himself.

While he was thinking, Chang Kele, who had lowered his head, suddenly raised his head.

"Master Joe?"

For a moment just now, she felt a strong gaze locked on her body. At first, she thought she was overthinking. Who would stay awake in the middle of the night like her.

Now that he was discovered, Qiao Bin simply walked towards her.

"Is the young master still asleep?" She stood up, holding the flashlight with muddy hands, and asked.

Her slightly idiotic question made him laugh, "No, I'm already asleep, and I'm sleepwalking now, don't wake me up, I fell asleep after a lot of trouble!"

Qiao Bin was a little surprised.He was obviously still wary of her, and he was looking forward to the day when she would leave voluntarily, but when getting along face to face, he was so calm and at ease, and he was in the mood to joke with her.

The contradiction formed between his inner thoughts and his expressed behavior made him feel puzzled involuntarily.But he was used to not reflecting his mood swings on his face, so he remained the same with his gentle smile as usual.

"Then...Master, do you want to find a sleepwalking therapist?" She said in line with his tone.

Puzzled and puzzled, he still spoke in a brisk tone, "I will, but I hope I remember it when I wake up."

"If you don't remember, I will remind you!" Even in the dark night, the bright smile is still so bright and so dazzling.

"Okay, please."

Seeing her bright smile up close, Qiao Bin's heart throbbed suddenly.

I don't know if it's because of the night, or other reasons, but he, who has always been sensitive, didn't notice the strangeness in his heart.

"Why did you choose this time to tidy the flower garden?" After chatting for a while, he asked the question in his heart.

"Ah? This... Actually, it's because I can't sleep! I planned to come here for a walk before going back to sleep, but I didn't feel tired after walking for a long time. When I passed the flower garden, I saw that it was in a mess, so I squatted down Come down and tidy up, anyway, idle is idle!"

"Where did you get that oversized flashlight?"

Qiao Bin's second question seemed to be asked in order not to interrupt the chat.

He has always resisted her, because she is an outsider and will bring uneasiness; but the more he resists her, the stronger the attraction seems to be, and finally eats up all his resistance...

"It was brought from the gardener's room," she replied truthfully, not noticing his unusual behavior, "there are all the tools there, and there is nothing missing!"

"That's it..." He responded.

"What about you, young master?" This time it was her who asked.

"Me? Just like you, I can't sleep!" Qiao Bin replied with a smile.

"Oh...young master, forgive me for talking too much, a man should put his career first, but it's not good if he goes too far!"

Unexpectedly, she would suddenly utter such words, and he didn't know how to react for half a second.

As if sensing his slight astonishment, Chang Kele raised a smile, "Master just finished handling business in the study, right? You look very tired!"

"Yes!" He smiled.

Chang Kele suddenly stopped and looked directly at him, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Master, I'm a good person!" A sincere smile appeared on her face. "Although it seems shameless to say that, I still want to say, maybe this is the benefit of thick-skinned people!" She scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

The intuition of women is really not to be underestimated. Qiao Bin thought that he hid his wariness of her very well. With his harmless warm smile and friendly attitude, no one would have thought that he was watching and guarding against her day and night.

"You're a good person, of course I know." Qiao Bin praised her for her intuition, and then gave her a gentle and handsome smile.

Chang Kele stared at his face for a few seconds, as if wondering if he was too thoughtful and suspicious.

"That's good." Finally, she smiled innocently.

It's hard to imagine that after four years in society, she still maintains an angelic pure heart.

"It's a pity that you can still say yes, you are not well at all now!"

"Huh?" She was stunned, not quite understanding what he was referring to.

"Look at your hair." His handsome smile bloomed, "I was scratched by your muddy hand, and it was all covered with mud."

"Really?" She was shocked, her small mouth was opened wide, and she looked so cute!

He was absent-minded for a second, but quickly recovered, "Of course! Why should I lie to you?"

"That's bad!" She had to wash the mud off before it dried.

"Go take a shower! Don't forget to wash your hair!"

"I'll go right away." She turned around impatiently, ran two steps and then turned around, smiled at him: "Good night, young master." After finishing speaking, she ran away in a hurry.

Her last cheerful smile, against the backdrop of the soft moonlight, opened Qiao Bin's frozen heart for a long time...
