Chapter 54

Qi You is a person who can't hide things in her heart. She can't wait for an answer and can't wait until Qiao Chunyan comes home to ask again.

She was anxious to go out, so she didn't put on any makeup. She quickly put on a windproof coat, put the velvet jewelry box in her pocket, and went out without makeup.

When the car passed by Qi's villa area, Qi You thought of something and suddenly asked the driver to turn around and take a detour back to Qi's house.

Qiao Xunxun was having afternoon tea with his sisters at home. When he saw Qiyou coming in, he couldn't help but look at each other, and they were both a little confused.

Qiao Xunxun pulled Qiyou aside and asked her if something had happened. Qiyou just shook his head and refused to say anything, looking a bit nervous. He hurried upstairs and returned to his original room to get something.

, and hurried downstairs to rush back to the car.

The car drove onto the main road again, and Lu Chao kept trying to find out Qi You's expression in the rearview mirror, but she had a pair of big sunglasses on her nose and was looking out the window sideways, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

Although Lu Chao believed in his boss's character, he had been with Qiao Chunyan for many years and knew that all he had to do in these years was work.

Before he learned that the old lady was ill, Qiao Chunyan was very indifferent to matters between men and women. No matter how much his family urged him, he was indifferent. There should be no rosy past events for his wife to delve into.

But when he thought about the last time, the CEO's wife filed for divorce in a rage because she misunderstood the relationship between Bei Rui and her boss, and even ran away from home, Lu Chao actually felt a cold sweat in his heart for his boss.

After much hesitation, he secretly took out his cell phone, hid it under his thigh like a homeroom teacher when he was studying, and sent several reminder messages to Qiao Chunyan.

Perhaps because the meeting at the other end was not over yet, Qiao Chunyan's cell phone was muted. Lu Chao's message fell silent after it was sent, and he did not get a reply for a long time.

Putting away his cell phone, he tried to cool down the small volcano that was about to erupt.

He turned around and smiled at Qiyou, "Madam, don't be too anxious. Is there possibly some misunderstanding about this matter?"

Misunderstand?

No!! She didn’t want this to be a misunderstanding!!

Qi You pulled down his sunglasses a little, glanced at Lu Chao angrily, and pushed the sunglasses back silently, showing no desire to communicate with him the whole time.

Lu Chao's mouth froze, and he read from the boss's wife's eyes "What do you know", "I suspect you are cursing me", "Warning to deduct the year-end bonus", "No, there will be no bonus next year" and other meanings.

.

He shut up angrily and could only hope that his boss would be happy for himself.

However, he didn't know that Qiyou pursed her lips and remained silent just because she was too nervous.

The boy in white in her memory was the man she had been looking for for more than ten years. Now he was probably by her side and had become her husband who shared the same bed with her.

When she thought of this, she was really excited and scared.

She was excited because it happened too suddenly and she was not mentally prepared;

Fear means worrying that this matter is not what she thought. If Qiao Chunyan confesses that this matter is a misunderstanding, her full expectations will be in vain.

Qiyou looks calm on the surface, but actually her heart is already in turmoil.

She clasped her hands together secretly, closed her eyes and prayed.

Please, please, it must be him, it must be him.

//////////////////////////////

As the meeting came to an end, Qiao Chunyan loosened his tie and sat back in the president's seat. One of his vice presidents took his place to summarize the meeting.

As soon as he sat down, Kou Man walked over gently, handed over his mobile phone, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Qiao, Assistant Lu just sent a message saying that the wife is coming over."

Qiao Chunyan just nodded, without much surprise, "I understand."

Kou Man raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't care much, he reminded her thoughtfully: "Assistant Lu Te said that the wife seems... not in a good mood."

Qiao Chunyan frowned, took her phone and clicked on WeChat, glanced at the message from Lu Chao, and roughly understood the whole story, then fell into silence.

Seeing that his face was getting more and more solemn, the vice president who spoke on the stage fell into self-doubt inexplicably "Is there something wrong with my speech?" His voice gradually became a little floaty, and he was not sure whether he should continue speaking.

After speaking bravely, the vice president was full of desire for survival. He asked Qiao Chunyan for his opinion with a smile, "The above is my personal opinion. I wonder if Mr. Qiao has anything to add?"

A whole conference room of people looked over.

After waiting for about three or four seconds, Qiao Chunyan still said nothing. She lowered her eyes and tapped the pen on the table rhythmically. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Kou Man coughed, touched his arm lightly with the back of her hand, and reminded softly: "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao?"

Qiao Chunyan came back to her senses, put the pen in her hand back into the left pocket of her chest, and said calmly, "Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Everyone:???The meeting is over??

Are you serious about this...big boss?

Everyone here, including Kou Man, didn't react, but Qiao Chunyan had already arranged his clothes, stood up, and left the office unhurriedly.

The vice president broke out in a cold sweat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He caught Kou Man who was packing up meeting materials and asked, "Secretary Kou, did I say something wrong? Why did the meeting end so suddenly?"

Kou Man also had a headache, but he had to smile and smooth things over, "No problem, I will contact you later on related matters. Today's meeting will be here first. Thank you for your hard work, directors."

"..." Everyone was confused.

--------------------------

"Good afternoon, madam."

When Qi You arrived at the CEO's office on the 68th floor, Kou Man was already waiting by the elevator door, folding his hands in front of him and bowing respectfully towards her.

Qi You nodded, adjusted his sunglasses and looked inside.

The door of the president's office was open, and there was no figure of Qiao Chunyan in front of the desk. He asked expressionlessly: "Where is Mr. Qiao?"

"Mr. Qiao was inspecting work in Australia two days ago. In order to return home early, he worked almost 24 hours a day and only slept for a few hours on the plane. He just finished a meeting and is changing in the lounge. Madam, you can go in directly."

After saying that, Kou Man made a gesture of invitation to her.

But Qiyou was stunned to hear the meaning of "It's not easy for us, Mr. Qiao, to support our family, Madam, please be a little gentler for a while" from her erroneous answer.

Qi You felt that they all seemed to have misunderstood her purpose of coming, but she did not explain. She just curled her lips, said "thank you" to Kou Man, and then walked into the office on high heels.

She stood in the middle of the huge room and paused for a second, quickly looked around the office, walked to the wall, pressed the switch, and the transparent glass instantly fogged up, and then closed the office door, completely blocking the view from outside.

Several assistants looked at each other outside the door, vaguely feeling a bad premonition.

A gossipy colleague came up to Lu Chao to inquire about the situation, and whispered in his ear: "Assistant Lu, did Mr. Qiao and his wife have a fight? When I looked at my wife, she didn't look very good, and there was a sense of anger all over her body.

Don't let anyone get close to Leng Yan, I'm afraid a violent storm is coming."

Lu Chao frowned, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. No matter what happens inside for a while, you all have to keep your heads down and work. Don't ask any more questions."

What could happen?

We can't start a fight, right?

Is the relationship between the CEO and his wife already so tense?

Several people exchanged glances, fearing that they might be offended by accident and go back to work.

In the office, Qi You didn't rush to the break room to find someone. Instead, he sat at the desk, dug out several documents signed by Qiao Yanyan, and took out the small Totoro sculpture in his bag to compare the handwriting.

The young man's handwriting on the sculpture is green and neat, while Qiao Chunyan's current handwriting is flying and free. At first glance, you would think it was written by two people.

But Qiyou still found some clues from the two seemingly completely different handwritings - both letters "j" habitually raised the first letter horizontally when they were written, showing a strong personal style.

This discovery made her inner answer a little more certain.

Qiao Chunyan came out of the lounge and saw her with her head lowered and her eyes red, and her heart sank.

He walked over and pressed the document in Qiyou's hand, "Youyou, why don't you wait for me at home? I was..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi You stood up quickly, turned around and came to him, put his hands on the edge of the table and made a domineering "table dong".

She took out the red string from her pocket and waved it in front of his eyes, her tone slightly urgent, "Tell me quickly, how come you got this red string bracelet in your hand?"

Qiao Yanyan's eyes dimmed, and she frowned and said, "Youyou, please listen to me explain this to you slowly..."

Qi You interrupted him with her little face raised, her eyes bright, "If I guess correctly, was this red string bracelet given to you by a little sister on the day you went abroad when you were 16 years old?"

"How...how did you know?" Qiao Chunyan frowned in surprise. He had never mentioned this past incident to anyone, including Faxiao, who was the closest to him, and he didn't know about it.

"In the summer of 2008, on the curb near Yucheng Primary School, you picked up a little girl who cried like a kitten. She quarreled with her teacher and classmates and ran out of school secretly. She got lost. You were the one who sent her home.

wrong?"

"You spent a whole afternoon together in the forest park, and you gave her this!" Qiyou picked up the Totoro sculpture and held it up to his eyes, "A clay sculpture of Totoro that you made by yourself. You knead the mud together and paint it together.

, there’s your signature on it, take a look.”

Qiao Chunyan lowered his eyes and glanced at it. Although it had faded over time, he quickly recognized his own handwriting.

The past memories were brought back one by one. Qiao Chunyan held the Totoro sculpture in her hand and gently rubbed it with her fingertips. Then she frowned and stared at Qi You's aggrieved little face, trying to find the shadow of the past.

He held her hand and his voice rose slightly, "So, you are..."

Qi You shook his arm and jumped up and down excitedly, "I am the little crying bag you picked up on the roadside back then!"
