Chapter 40(1/2)
Worried about her parents' health, Qiao Chunyan sent her grandparents to a private hospital for check-ups overnight. After going back and forth, it was already dark when she got home.
Qi You was sent back in advance by Lu Chao, and she didn't get much rest after arriving home. She took out the medical box and carefully treated the wound on Bentley's paw. She didn't lie down on the tatami until it got dark and fell asleep.
She slept lightly and woke up when she heard the sound of the door opening from downstairs.
Qiao Yanyan helped her grandma through the door. Qiyou, barefooted, hurried downstairs to ask about the situation: "How are you? What did the doctor say?"
Qiao Chunyan pursed her lips and said nothing. She silently changed the old lady's shoes and helped her go upstairs.
On the contrary, Qiao Zongming softened his tone, patted her on the shoulder, and advised her not to worry.
"It's okay. The old lady has no health problems for the time being. My blood pressure has dropped after taking medicine. You don't have to worry. Youyou, grandpa was too impatient just now. Don't take what he said to heart."
Qiyou nodded, the tip of her nose was slightly sour, "Then Qiao Yanyan..."
Qiao Zongming: "Something happened when the old lady checked just now. It's inevitable that he feels a little uncomfortable. Just give him some time and calm down."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
The old lady struggled all night, and her body couldn't bear it. She was given two bottles of nutrient solution when she was in the hospital. After returning home, she fell into bed and wanted to fall asleep. Qiao Zongming was worried that she would have a stomachache if she didn't eat, so he coaxed her to drink half a bowl of millet porridge before letting her go.
She fell into a deep sleep.
After taking care of the old lady, Qiao Chunyan silently went upstairs to wash up. He was still wearing the suit from yesterday, with a sleepy aura lingering around him, and a slight dark blue under his eyelids.
When he reached the cloakroom, he pulled off his tie, took a clean shirt and entered the bathroom.
Qi You lowered her head and followed him all the way, following his steps, her fingers wrapped around the corners of her clothes, like a child who had made a mistake, she pursed her lips and wanted to say something several times, but she suddenly swallowed when she saw his indifferent expression.
go back.
Wearing a wide white T-shirt, she leaned against the bathroom door with her bare feet and her head against the glass door. She stood there stupidly for ten minutes.
His thoughts were so disturbed that he didn't notice when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. The glass door suddenly opened. Qi You lost his balance and fell into Qiao Yuyan's arms.
The man's chest was hard. She rubbed her head and stood up straight, laughing twice, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Yanyan helped her a little, her expression calm, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were dripping wet.
He casually brushed his short hair with a towel a few times, looked at Qiyou's bare feet, and said in a deep voice: "Put your shoes on first, the ground is cold."
"Oh." Qiyou trotted to the bed to look for shoes.
Seeing that Qiao Chunyan's expression softened a little, she put on her shoes and came back, bowed her head and stood behind him and apologized softly: "Um...I'm sorry, what happened last night was because I was too careless and I shouldn't have left grandma alone.
In the car, I will pay attention next time, don't be angry."
She knew that she had a lot of responsibility for this matter, and she had deeply reflected on it at night. She had been used to being arrogant since she was a child, and she had never been so humble before, and her tone was a bit twisted when she spoke.
"Qiyou," Qiao Yuyan turned off the hair dryer in her hand and looked at her in the mirror with a cold expression, "I know that from the beginning you only thought that our marriage was a business marriage, just a physical marriage. It doesn't matter how you understand me.
But grandma really likes you. I hope you will be more cautious about her next time."
What does she mean by just a physical marriage?
Qi You was confused for a moment, and her temper became a little angry, "What do you mean by this?"
Qiao Yanyan closed her eyes, feeling an indescribable dryness welling up in her heart.
Perhaps too many things happened in the past two days, and the words that were blocked in my heart and did not want to be mentioned came out.
"I saw the agreement on your USB drive. If this is what you want, don't worry, I will cooperate with you."
He straightened his collar, turned around and passed her by. He picked up the suit jacket from the bed and put it on his wrist. He frowned slightly and said, "My company has a meeting in the morning. You should have a good rest at home. In addition, I have fired the driver yesterday."
Yes, a new driver will be taking over soon. If you are not in a good state of mind, please don’t drive."
Coming out of the room, Qiao Chunyan held the doorknob tightly and didn't move for a while, her eyelashes hanging very low.
During these days abroad, he thought a lot, feeling angry and sad, but despite this, he still didn't want to lose her. If this was the only way to keep her by his side, it would be a lifelong entanglement.
The door lock quietly fell, and Qiyou still stood there in a daze, her thoughts completely unable to keep up with the development of the situation.
What agreement? What kind of physical marriage?
Why did Qiao Chunyan suddenly say such things? This bitch’s brain must have been caught in the door!
Wait... USB flash drive?
She wiped her face and frantically searched for the little chinchilla in the room. An idea came to her mind, but she was not sure.
She didn't sleep well, and the last time Qiao Chunyan took the USB drive back and put it under the pillow, she didn't put it in place, and somehow it fell into the gap between the bed board and the bedside table.
She knelt on the carpet, stretched her arms to fish it out under the bed, and fumbled for a long time before taking it out.
Blowing away the dust, she quickly went straight to the study, turned on the computer, and inserted the USB disk into the interface.
After finally booting up successfully, she clicked into the folder, pulled the mouse to the end, and saw the prenuptial agreement that she had forgotten in the corner - she tore up the printout, but forgot to delete the document.
Qi You held her forehead and almost cried because of her own operation.
How could it be seen like this!
In the past, if a man said such things in front of her, she would probably have been furious. But this time, she did something wrong, and it is reasonable for Qiao Chunyan to feel unhappy.
Thinking about it at the desk, I must explain this matter to him clearly, otherwise I will die unjustly.
She took out her mobile phone and called Qiao Chunyan, but it was Lu Chao who answered.
"Madam, Mr. Qiao just entered the conference room and it's not convenient to answer the phone."
Qi You: "Then when will he leave the meeting? I have something to say to him."
Lu Chao: "It will be later. The company has a lot of business today."
Qi You said "Oh" lazily.
She has a fiery temper, and what she can't stand the most is being misunderstood. After hanging up the phone, she held the phone and wanted to explain it to Qiao Chunyan, but she couldn't form a suitable sentence after tapping her fingers on the screen for a long time.
, I struggled repeatedly with deletions and deletions, and even the last half word was not sent out.
I usually write poorly when complaining to my little sisters, but I didn’t expect that at the critical moment, the language system suddenly collapsed, which was very embarrassing.
She lay on the tatami, tossing and turning, and finally decided to give up her beauty sleep, go to him, and tell him clearly in person.
//
Out of guilt, Qiyou asked Aunt Zhou to make soup before going out, and she happened to bring it to Qiao Chunyan.
The new driver was young and relatively outgoing. He kept finding topics to chat with Qi You along the way.
However, Qiyou leaned against the back of the chair and stared out the window blankly, not knowing what he was thinking, and he hesitated without any cooperation from beginning to end.
The driver felt embarrassed talking to himself alone, so he shut up angrily.
After not sleeping all night, even a person with good skin care would look a little haggard. When Qi You put on makeup, she used three layers of concealer to barely cover up the dark circles under her eyelids. Before getting off the car, she deliberately took out a mask from her bag.
He took out his sunglasses and put them on to cover most of his face, not wanting anyone to notice.
She patted her little face and told herself not to lose her temper for a while, but she must patiently explain to him and coax this bitch man more.
It was lunch break, and the area around the CBD was packed with people.
Qi You waited for the elevator expressionlessly. Several young white-collar girls who had just finished their meal stood next to her with coffee in their hands, chattering so loudly that their temples jumped.
"I'll go! Have you seen the photos in the group?"
"What kind of photo? Let me take a look."
"Damn it, isn't this Bei Rui and...Mr. Qiao run by the CEO?"
The last few words were clearly lowered for fear of being heard, but they fell into the ears of the people next to them.
Qiyou's back collapsed, and her thin lips pursed into an indifferent line.
"By the way, didn't Bei Rui resign a few days ago? Why did he go with Mr. Qiao? He was still in the office... I really didn't see it."
"Mr. Qiao is already married, tsk tsk tsk!"
"Let me tell you, it was originally a business marriage, and Mr. Qiao and his wife might have their own affairs... Oh! My cell phone!" The white-collar worker said as if he knew some inside story.
Just as she was about to step into the elevator, her phone was suddenly taken away from her hand. She turned around and saw Qi You standing by the side of the elevator, lowering his head and swiping his phone.
"Husband...Madam..."
The group of people were dumbfounded, looking at each other and not knowing what to do, and the scene fell into an extremely embarrassing silence.
Qi You acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and quickly scrolled through the chat history to find two nude photos that had been anonymously posted in the group.
One of the photos is a surveillance screenshot. The time in the upper right corner is shown as nine o'clock in the evening a week ago. Bei Rui came out of the president's office with disheveled hair. She was only wearing a men's shirt, with her shoulders half exposed and her long legs directly exposed to the air.
Medium, sexy and erotic.
The second picture is a candid shot in front of a club - Bei Rui is holding a man's hand, looking very pitiful and looks like a coquettish act between lovers.
Because it was night, the pixels were not very clear, and you could only vaguely see the man's profile. He lowered his eyes and could not see his expression clearly. But the white-collar workers in the company who had only seen him a few times could distinguish it from his body shape and outline.
Who is he, let alone Qi You, who has been living with him for half a year and has a physical relationship with him.
As soon as the photo was posted, the company's gossip group went viral. In just a few minutes, hundreds of chat records were posted, and employees all speculated about the relationship between Qiao Chunyan and the female secretary.
Qiyou subconsciously scrolled through it, and suddenly someone took her cell phone away from her palm.
"Madam, please stop reading. Someone must have taken this out of context and made it up. It may not be true."
