Chapter 174 The Unknown Past

After the phone call, Qiao Mingyuan didn't rush back to the ward, but looked at the other mobile phone in his hand.

It was Xiao Nanye's cell phone. He had been holding it tightly in his hand when the accident happened, and he never let go of it when he was sent to the operating room.

There is no password on the phone, and after clicking on it, an unread text message flashes on the screen.

【Xiao Nanye, actually I never told you that I had a serious illness, I got depression, and even committed suicide. They all said I was crazy, but I knew I wasn’t crazy.

I was locked up in the hospital at that time, and I thought every day, why not just let me die?

Thinking about it now, I am very glad that I am still alive, otherwise how could I meet such a you?

I like you very much, but sometimes I also hate you, hate you for locking me in your world, hate you for sending people to follow me, hate you for letting me live according to your wishes.

Go on like this and you'll drive me crazy.

Just let us both get away from each other for a while and let me figure it out for myself, okay? 】

The content was very long, but Qiao Mingyuan still read it word by word.

I didn't expect that an optimistic and lovely girl like Su Mo would have such a past.

She has suffered from depression and committed suicide, which can explain why she is so abnormal during the day.

As a brother, if you can find someone you really like, you should really bless them, but Qiao Mingyuan found that Xiao Nanye seemed to be in a bit of a deep trap.

He pushed himself too hard, and he pushed Su Mo too hard. If this continues, trouble will happen sooner or later.

He didn't know about Su Mo's past, but it was obvious that Xiao Nanye wanted to know.

He knew that Xiao Nan had asked someone to check Su Mo's past at night, but obviously the information he got was incomplete, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised during the day.

If Xiao Nanye knew that Su Mo had been depressed and tried to commit suicide, how crazy would this old man be?
If he knew that Su Mo said he hated him and would be separated from him for a while, Xiao Nanye would definitely be discharged from the hospital immediately, and then bring back the woman who tried to escape.

What happens after the person is captured?
It is estimated that he will have to get a pair of iron chains to lock him up, and then keep him in captivity under his nose.

Qiao Mingyuan didn't think he was exaggerating, because this was indeed something Xiao Nan would do at night!
Thinking of this, Qiao Mingyuan shook his head, tapped the screen a few times, and then stopped on the red button, hesitating whether to delete this text message or not.

With a few clicks on the text message, the phone returned to a black screen.

Then, Qiao Mingyuan called, "Where are you? If it's convenient, can you come out and have a cup of tea with me?"

After experiencing the incident in the supermarket during the day, Su Mo's mood fluctuated greatly.

Although she couldn't remember how she walked out of the supermarket and how she returned to Yuyuan, she could feel that something must have happened.

Because the fear that had haunted her had returned.

After waking up at night, Su Mo felt uneasy all the time, and she also made a lot of determination to send Xiao Nanye such a text message.

After the text message was sent, Su Mo sat in the room waiting for a reply. He didn't sleep all night, but who knew that after waiting, it was Qiao Mingyuan's call.

It was already dawn outside. After receiving Qiao Mingyuan's call, Su Mo collected her mood, changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

A Kai was not at home, Su Mo greeted Wu Ma and Zhou Mianhong, and drove out by herself.

Qiao Mingyuan was usually very busy at work, so the place they made an appointment was near the hospital where he worked.

This tea restaurant near the hospital is very busy early in the morning.

When Su Mo came in, the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were already full of people, and the person she was looking for was sitting leisurely in the corner by the window and eating.

"Doctor Qiao." Su Mo walked over and greeted him with a forced smile.

Qiao Mingyuan looked up at her, "Come on! Sit down."

There are several baskets of snacks on the table in front of you, which are delicious in color and fragrance, and the person opposite put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I just finished an operation, I'm too hungry so I didn't wait for you."

As he spoke, he handed over the menu on the table, "See what you like to eat."

Su Mo took the menu, glanced at it, and put it at hand.

She looked at the food on the table and said, "This is pretty good. If you order too much, two people can't finish it."

Qiao Mingyuan ordered it for two people, and he didn't force her.

He pushed a cage of crystal shrimp dumplings in front of Su Mo and said, "Try it, it's the signature of their store."

"Thank you." Su Mo put a shrimp dumpling into his mouth, the skin was thin and the meat was fresh, it was indeed delicious.

The store looks ordinary from the outside, but I didn't expect the food to be so delicious. No wonder it was full early in the morning.

Su Mo ate some other food. While she was eating, Qiao Mingyuan didn't speak either. Seeing that she was dropping her chopsticks more and more slowly, she opened her mouth slowly.

"Su Mo."

Qiao Mingyuan took off his glasses and leaned leisurely on the soft backrest. His slightly drooping eyelids concealed the fatigue in his eyes. The operation just now consumed a lot of his energy.

"Doctor Qiao?" Su Mo looked up at him.

She seemed to call herself this way all the time, Mr. A Zejiang, Lawyer Han Zihan, and even Xiao Nanye by her first name. In fact, Qiao Mingyuan understood that she still had reservations in her heart.

She was ready to retreat at any time, but Xiao Nanye was already deep in the mud.

"Call me by my name!" Qiao Mingyuan curled his lips, with a slight smile on his face, and said half-jokingly, "We are so familiar."

From Su Mo's point of view, Qiao Mingyuan was the most normal of the four of them, even though he had always been unsmiling, so she always had a good impression of him.

Qian Qiao Mingyuan didn't have that kind of doctor's qualities, and she didn't feel resistance. When he was with him, he felt very relaxed.

She always thought that Qiao Mingyuan was a very serious person, and she never thought that he would joke with her, so she watched him fool.

It's actually this reaction. Could it be that the beauty trap is no longer effective these days?
Qiao Mingyuan shook his head helplessly, "What? Is my name so unpopular?"

"No, it's not." Su Mo quickly waved his hands to explain, "Doctor Qiao, don't get me wrong."

Doctor Joe, Doctor Joe, Doctor Joe!
Qiao Mingyuan pretended to be sad and sighed, "Hey, never mind, since you don't want to, I can't force others to do what they want."

Su Mo is pure-hearted, and only thinks that people treat her as a friend, but she refuses to even call him by name, feeling a little guilty.

But she blushed from holding back, and finally opened her mouth, but only called out the word 'Joe'.

"You can call me A Yuan just like A Ye."

Su Mo followed his words and shouted, A Yuan.

For some reason, Su Mo just felt unaccustomed to calling him that.

On Qiao Mingyuan's body, there was a bookish aura of a prince from the Republic of China. Su Mo always felt that calling him by his name was like insulting him.

This feeling was too strange, she quickly picked up the water glass in front of her, and took a big sip of water 'gudong, gudong'.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Mingyuan stopped teasing her.

He straightened his face and said, "I'm a little younger than Ah Ye, so I still have to call you sister-in-law. If you don't like to call me A Yuan, you can call me Qiao Qiao just like A Ze."

puff!
A sip of water sprayed all over the table, Su Mo covered her mouth and coughed until her heart and lungs hurt, her face instantly heated up, she had never been so rude in front of outsiders.

On the other hand, Qiao Mingyuan was much calmer, and thoughtfully handed over a tissue, saying, "Tsk tsk, your reaction is really sad, you know, this is a privilege I give to my own people!"

Can you imagine a gentle and handsome guy acting coquettishly in front of you?
Su Mo swears, this is not fun at all, she managed to stop coughing, and when she heard this, she choked on her own saliva again.

No wonder the young lady keeps saying that Qiao Mei is the most hidden and most terrifying of the four of them. Hearing this, it's like killing people invisible!
Only half of the table was eaten, and the rest was ruined.

Su Mo was a little embarrassed. She was full, but Qiao Mingyuan hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls yet!
Just as he was about to ask the waiter to come over and take away the things, he heard Qiao Mingyuan say, "Actually, I asked you to come here today because I wanted to talk to you about you and Ah Ye."

Hearing him mention Xiao Nanye, the expression on Su Mo's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Qiao Mingyuan said: "I hope you can understand that I don't mean to be nosy, but Ah Ye is very worried about you. I have known him for so long, and I have never seen him care so much about anyone."

Su Mo's eyes turned hot, he looked up at him and said, "You are his brother, so naturally you are talking to him."

Qiao Mingyuan really wanted to complain, but he was convicted before he even started talking, so how could he continue talking?
Therefore, doctors only care about curing diseases and saving lives. Such thankless tasks should be handed over to lawyers to brainwash clients and opponents. That is their specialty.

But after waiting for a while, seeing that Qiao Mingyuan didn't speak, Su Mo became upset again, "You didn't speak, did you fall into my trap? Did Xiao Nanye ask you to come?

Is there anything he can't tell me himself?coward! "

Qiao Mingyuan: "..."

Young Master Xiao, you have to forgive me, I didn't mean to turn you into a coward!
If Han Ziyi knew that he, Qiao Mingyuan, would also have a day when he was blocked from speaking, that bastard would definitely laugh at him severely.

Qiao Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, and asked without answering, "Did Ah Ye tell you about his childhood?"

"No."

Su Mo was obviously not very interested in Young Master Xiao's matter, she was just thinking, did that person, did he receive her text message?

Su Mo's attitude was expected by Qiao Mingyuan, but since he was able to invite people here, he naturally had a perfect plan.

"Then do you know the real reason why Ah Ye was sent abroad when he was a child?"
