Qiu Bailu didn't know why he did this. Maybe he just wanted to test to see if she was dead. If she died, he could take over everything that belonged to her Qiu family reasonably and legally with a smile. If she didn't die,
He could also happily continue to think of ways to torture her.
In short, whether she is dead or not, he can make her life miserable.
Qiu Bailu thought that her illness would never be cured, but she didn't expect that a few days later, under the powerful power of the handful of cold medicine she took every day, she would slowly get better.
She was much weaker due to long-term illness. Looking at the woman in the mirror with her long hair plucked out randomly and her face as pale as a ghost, Qiu Bailu didn't even recognize it was herself.
It's so ugly... I wonder if Huo Dongheng will still be interested in sex with her like this. Maybe she should go to him now and pester him to be intimate with him. Maybe he will disgust her because of this, never touch her again, and take the initiative to return the Qiu family to her.
Maybe give it to her.
Making joy out of suffering, Qiu Bailu looked at herself in the mirror, smiled and shed tears.
After she no longer had a fever, the first thing Qiu Bailu did was draw a sketch of the office. She always worked late at night, and sometimes she would cough and have a bloody taste in her throat, but she didn't care at all. She used to
She is a person who cares about her health very much, because as long as she is sick, Huo Dongheng will stay with her no matter how busy he is. She is so afraid that Huo Dongheng will stay up day and night to take care of her and make him have blue circles under his eyes. But now... Qiu
Bai Lu more or less understood what breaking the jar meant.
The office became Qiu Bailu's second home, because she was not only responsible for drawing, but also sometimes worked with the workers on construction, so it didn't take long for Qiu Bailu to quickly become friends with the workers at the construction site.
one slice.
Workers who rely on physical strength to make a living do not have so much scheming. Although they are not smarter than the people she usually interacts with, Qiu Bailu feels that she will be happier when she is with them.
The office was redesigned by Qiu Bailu to be open. She didn't like those matchbox-like work grids. She preferred to make eye contact with others while working. Qiu Bailu's own office was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass. As long as she
If she wants, she can overlook the entire office area at any time.
So when a woman sneaked up at the office door, Qiu Bailu spotted her immediately.
"Miss? What's wrong?" Qiu Bailu was dressed very loosely when she was working. She was wearing a baggy and unfitting cotton dress. Her long hair was tied casually into a ponytail. She looked like a college student with no hair on her face.
The airs of a company leader.
"Oh...I, I want to find someone to design the room." The woman was caught by Qiu Bailu and seemed to be a little panicked. However, after a moment, she regained her composure. She quickly put on an insincere smile and said, "I heard
Said your job was good."
"Nice job?" Qiu Bailu read her words with a smile. The woman's face was painted with heavy makeup that did not match her age. She was probably not used to such makeup, so she always looked left and right when speaking, her eyes looked like
It was a pair of cat eyes, revealing shrewdness and cunning. Qiu Bailu estimated that she was only in her early twenties, but with this makeup, she looked at least ten years older.
"Yeah, um, isn't it good for customers to stand? You've just opened here?"
Qiu Bailu invited the woman to the office. The woman came at the right time. The workers had just cleaned up the office yesterday. Qiu Bailu was preparing to pick a good day to open the business. Unexpectedly, business came to her door.
"Hey, are these all your paintings?" The woman walked around the office and seemed very interested in Qiu Bailu's designs on the wall. She pointed at one of them and asked. "This one looks familiar.
"
Qiu Bailu made a cup of instant coffee for her, "This is the only one, I hope you don't mind. I designed this a few years ago. You may think it looks familiar because you have seen her on TV. The award-winning design of Oceanwide New District
This is the room.”
"Ah, it turns out you designed it." The woman took the coffee and expressed her surprise. Then after Qiu Bailu turned around, she whispered, "I didn't expect you to be so good. Then your business will be very good in the future."
"That's not necessarily true, but I just want to lend you some good advice." Qiu Bailu said with a smile, "Now, miss, you can tell me your design requirements."
"Ah...I...I don't have any requirements...I...actually I..."
"Actually, you are not here to see me at all, but to see Qin Zhen, Miss Yu?"
Qiu Bailu called out the woman's surname accurately. She looked at her in surprise, not knowing where she had exposed herself, "How do you know I'm not here to design for you? Ahhh? Why do you know my surname is Yu?!"
"Because I have heard your voice. Although I am not very smart, I am very sensitive to sounds. Your name is Yu... Yu Jiaren?" She called Qin Zhen that day to thank her, and she should answer the phone for Qin Zhen.
That's her.
When Yu Jiaren heard what Qiu Bailu said, her face immediately fell. She was like a deflated balloon, and she sat softly on the chair, "Hey, it's not fun. Why did you recognize me? It's such a failure.
!If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have drawn it like this, it’s like there’s a shell on my face!”
As she spoke, she took out a few tissues from her small backpack and wiped them like magic, and a young and beautiful face appeared in front of Qiu Bai.
In fact, Qiu Bailu was able to guess the beauty's identity, not because she was gifted and could really identify people by listening to their voices. It was just that her office had just been built and she had not told anyone. Only Qin Zhen knew.
Regarding this matter, the woman looked around as soon as she entered the door, and her eyes kept sizing her up. It seemed that she didn't want to do business, but more like she wanted to cause trouble.
"Qin Zhen is not here with me, and I haven't seen him for a while. If you come to see him, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"If I'm not looking for him, why are I looking for him? I'm here... actually looking for you. Miss Qiu, do you like Qin Zhen? If you don't like him, can you give him back to me?"
Qiu Bailu never expected that Yu Jiaren would be so direct. She held a sip of coffee in her mouth and almost spit it out.
"Ahem...I...I..."
"Miss Qiu, you don't actually like him, right? If you like him, you won't marry anyone else. If you don't like him, just don't occupy him, okay? Let's talk about love without the purpose of getting married.
It's immoral to act like a hooligan! Miss Qiu, Qin Zhiqin has a bit of a problem. If he gets stuck in something, even eight cows can't pull him out. You can't occupy that thing and not that thing..."
Yu Jiaren talked for a while, but when Qiu Bailu didn't reply, she glanced at her anxiously. Qiu Bailu looked calm.
"Miss Qiu, um, you should say something."
"What do you want me to say? Are you relieved that I will leave him?"
"No, no, if you like him, you won't leave until you leave. The key is that you don't like him... If you don't tell him, I'm afraid he will never understand..."
"Even if I don't like him, does he like you? If he leaves me, will he fall into your arms?" For some reason, Qiu Bailu felt a little annoyed, why could anyone criticize her life?
She asked herself, she was already living a very depressed life, but why did they still dislike her?
Her words really hurt Yu Jiaren. She hesitated twice and continued without confidence, "He doesn't like me... but if it weren't for you, we would be together. The relationship between the two of us,
It is recognized by both families... I have known him since I was a child and I have liked him. You don't know what kind of efforts I have made over the years to be able to match him... If it weren't for you, I believe that as long as I work hard
, Qin Zhen will fall in love with me sooner or later..."
When the coffee cooled down, it became extremely bitter. Qiu Bailu sat calmly opposite Yu Jiaren, listening to her endless talk about Qin Zhen.
Once upon a time, she had simply thought that if she gave everything, that person would be grateful. Even if he didn't love her, he could at least keep her by his side.
But in the end...
But Qin Zhen is not that person. Yu Jiaren is right. If it weren't for her, Qin Zhen would have become a qualified husband.
Marriage and love are actually two different things. There are too many men and women in this world who do not love each other, but they can live peacefully together for many years, have children, and live an ordinary life.
And those who think they love deeply, in the end, few end up well.
Looking at Yu Jiaren, Qiu Bailu looked at her past self. She was so innocent that people couldn't bear to destroy her.
"Is Yu Bin your brother?" Qiu Bailu asked coldly. Yu Jiaren was in the middle of talking, swallowed her saliva and nodded, "Yes, he is my second brother."
"No wonder..." Qiu Bailu chuckled, and the thorns all over her body were hidden at some point. Yu Jiaren looked like her, but she was not her, because she was surrounded by family members, and there were people who were willing to stand up for her, for fear that she would get hurt.
No matter what happened, she would never end up like herself.
There is only one Qiu Bailu in this world, and her misfortune will not be copied to others.
"Don't worry, Qin Zhen and I have no special relationship. He will come back to you, I promise." Qiu Bailu stroked her forehead and said a little tiredly.
Yu Jiaren opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, Qiu Bailu waved her finger, "If I were you, I would know how to give up when things go well. I have promised you, and I will never break my promise. But if you
If you continue to be verbose, I'm sure I'll change my mind."
Qiu Bailu usually likes to laugh, and when she smiles, she always gives people a peaceful and soft feeling, but now she stops smiling, her face becomes cold, and her words have a natural aura. Yu Jiaren originally thought of beating her again
She said a few words, but Qiu Bailu looked at her and she couldn't say anything.
