108 Shen Zijin is not something you can get your hands on!
Zijin frowned and couldn't help but hold the phone harder. Gu Yanshen, he actually called him? Did he think she would answer? Even though he was still a little surprised in his heart, how did he get out of the situation just now, but when he thought about it,
Qiao Jinglian looked questioning. She was still emotional and didn't want to answer.
So, he directly pressed the reject button and threw the phone into his bag. A car happened to pass by, so Zijin reached out to hail a car and got in.
She really didn't want to go back to Qiao's house today, so she told the driver Mu Chenchu's address. After thinking about it, she called Qiao Shiyun and told him that she had something to do today and wanted to stay with a friend.
One night.
"Zijin, is it a work matter?"
Zijin went down the pole and said, "Yes, dad, don't worry, I live with a good friend of mine, because she and I are jointly responsible for the project at the moment."
When she said this, Qiao Shiyun naturally no longer doubted that although Qiao Shiyun rarely intervened in the company's affairs now, of course he was aware of any trends. In addition, this project was the first one that Zi Jin was responsible for in the company.
Project. Qiao Shiyun knew very well that the friend she was talking about should be Mu Chenchu who used to work in the human resources department.
"Dad's flight tomorrow afternoon will take him to the UK. He won't be at home for the next few days."
After Qiao Shiyun agreed, he changed the subject, "If anything happens, call me."
In fact, Zijin was not happy in the Qiao family, but she knew that Qiao Shiyun was really good to her.
She is nothing more than his daughter-in-law. Qiao Shiyun treats her better than his biological daughter. It is true and covers everything, whether it was 5 years ago, when she married into the Qiao family, or 5 years ago.
, she came back from England. In the past five years, the only person in the Qiao family who made her feel that she was alone was Qiao Shiyun.
So after divorcing Qiao Jinglian, she would feel sorry for Qiao Shiyun.
But there is no way, she can't continue like this.
"Dad, you have a nice trip." He said the last thing before hanging up the phone.
After a while, they arrived at the apartment where Mu Chenchu lived. It was still early and Mu Chenchu hadn't rested yet. He received a call from Zijin and quickly came down from upstairs. After picking her up, he learned that she hadn't eaten anything.
, and immediately got her some food.
"...So? In the end, even Qiao Jinglian didn't find anything, but he must have suspected you, right?"
After Mu Chenchu listened to Zi Jin's summary of what had just happened, he twisted his eyebrows to help her analyze, "Don't you think Qiao Jinglian is quite strange? You have been married to him for 5 years, when did he become so good?
He went to the hospital to pick you up and took you to dinner? He couldn't be... having any plans for you, could he? "
Zijin drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I think too much, what ideas can he have for me."
"Why else would he still eat with you? Aren't you afraid of his jealousy?"
"I don't know." Zijin didn't take it to heart at all. She shook her head and worked hard all night. In addition, she didn't have a good rest last night. She was actually really tired. What happened in the past two days was much worse than when she was in the UK.
, more often than not happen in a year.
She stretched out her hand to pinch her painful eyebrows, her voice was full of fatigue, "...Who knows what his intentions are, but I have made it clear to him that I am willing to give up 5% of Qiao's shares to let
He should go and make it clear to his father in person, I think Li Muhua..."
When he mentioned Li Muhua, Zijin naturally thought of the scene he saw in the hotel parking lot before.
No wonder she didn't go back to Qiao's house during this period. Is it because she and that man...
Frowning, he squeezed the chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and Zijin continued the topic, "...Anyway, Li Muhua and Qiao Jingting, both mother and daughter don't like me. They wish that Qiao Jinglian and I would divorce, and only Qiao Shiyun...
...So I let Qiao Jinglian speak for herself, maybe it will be better."
Mu Chenchu looked at her little face with a tired look, and didn't intend to ask any more questions. He cleared the dishes and let her wash up and go to bed.
Mu Chenchu lived in a single apartment, but the bed was very big. Zi Jin slept on the same bed with her that night, and it was the most comfortable night she had slept in since she came back from England.

※※※※※
Before Xie Lingxi got out of the car, he specially tidied up his appearance and made sure there was nothing wrong with him. Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
Seeing the words "Gravel Private Room" written on the door opposite, she subconsciously grabbed the strap of her bag, took a deep breath, and finally walked towards the door.
Two hours ago, she received a call from Qiao Shiyun's assistant. In a very simple way, he told her to come here at this time because Qiao Shiyun wanted to see her.
Xie Lingxi was still surprised. Almost everyone in City C knew about her and Qiao Jinglian, but she had never met Qiao Shiyun in private. She didn't know how Qiao Shiyun felt about the existence of a person like her.
view.
She knew that Qiao Jinglian and Shen Zijin's marriage was arranged by Qiao Shiyun. She also knew that the relationship between Qiao Jinglian and Qiao Shiyun was not very good. However, Qiao Shiyun was the person in charge of the Qiao family. She did not expect that someone would come to make an appointment with her today.
Meet.
Xie Lingxi thought, the only possibility is-her belly, right?
Has Jinglian already told Qiao Shiyun?
Subconsciously stroking her lower abdomen, which was still as flat as ever, Xie Lingxi's dark eyes flashed. No matter what, if this "child" could capture the position of Qiao's young master, then for her, it would be a dream.
!
As soon as she entered the door, there were people guarding there. Two men in black saw Xie Lingxi and nodded slightly to her. One of them said: "Miss Xie, please come this way."
Taking her into a box at the end of the corridor, Xie Lingxi pushed the door open and saw the old man standing majestically at the window, with his back to the door.
The box door was closed behind him. Just when Xie Lingxi was wondering how he should speak, Qiao Shiyun turned around with slightly cloudy eyes, glanced at Xie Lingxi calmly, and pointed to the stool next to him, "
Miss Xie, come and sit."
Xie Lingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She is still wary of Qiao Shiyun. She is not really a brainless person. She dares to rely on Qiao Jinglian to be confident outside, but she will never be too presumptuous in front of Qiao Shiyun. On the contrary, she still
Very cautious.
The two sat across from each other. Qiao Shiyun only prepared tea, stretched out his hand to signal Xie Lingxi to help himself, and said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry for asking Miss Xie to come and see me so presumptuously. The main reason is that I have to fly to England in the afternoon.
So I thought, before I leave, I should take care of your affairs first."
Xie Lingxi did not understand what Qiao Shiyun meant by "handling", raised a sweet smile, and said appropriately: "Mr. Qiao, I am not presumptuous at all. I have always wanted to meet you, Mr. Qiao."
"oh?"
Qiao Shijun raised his eyebrows in surprise, stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass of water, and took a sip, seemingly curious, "Miss Xie, have you always wanted to see me?"
Xie Lingxi's thoughts were not as deep as Qiao Shiyun's. The seemingly curious look on his face seemed to her to be curiosity, without any other emotions.
She nodded happily, just thinking that anyway, Qiao Shiyun must have known everything when he came to see her today, and she felt that she must have no reservations, "In the years that Jinglian and I have been together, I know that Mr. Qiao, you
...The relationship with Jinglian is not particularly good. In fact, I feel quite guilty, but after all, I met Jinglian first, and I still know him very well. He is a very good man by nature. Although I have
I followed him, but I don’t feel aggrieved at all. Now—”
She stretched out her hand and gently touched her belly, with a happy and sweet look on her face. She was completely immersed in her acting skills, and she didn't care at all that Qiao Shiyun's face across from her became increasingly ugly, "Now, I'm pregnant with his baby."
, he will definitely be a good father in the future..."
"Thank you, Miss."
Qiao Shiyun put down the cup in his hand and interrupted her, "What do you think I came to see you for today?"
Xie Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and the hand on her belly stiffened for a moment. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Qiao Shiyun. The old man opposite had an unpredictable expression. The older man's eyes seemed to be even deeper. She
Such a Taoist behavior is naturally impossible to guess.
His heart beat subconsciously faster. Xie Lingxi opened his mouth. After a moment, he shook his head with some hindsight, "... Mr. Qiao, you are looking for me... isn't it because of my... child?"
"It is indeed because of your 'child'."
Qiao Shiyun took out a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Xie Lingxi. His tone was calm from beginning to end, but his words made him want to send Xie Lingxi to the eighteenth level of hell.
"This is the report I asked someone to bring over from the hospital. Miss Xie, you have been with Jinglian for so many years and you haven't learned anything. Instead, you have become more and more stupid. Are you going to tell such a big lie? You have to lie to me."
Do you need me to explain it clearly to you now whether there are any children here?"
Xie Lingxi's expression changed drastically.
What's going on? That doctor...she has obviously bribed him, why...why is this happening?
It's impossible for Qiao Shiyun to know that that doctor betrayed him?
Seeing her face as white as a ghost, Qiao Shiyun laughed, as if he could guess her thoughts, "You must be wondering why that doctor betrayed you, right? Miss Xie, you are following me.
After being with Jinglian for so many years, you haven’t learned anything, but you have become more and more stupid. I think 5 years ago, you still knew how to leave in anger and how to play hard to get. After 5 years, Jinglian has pampered you so much.
With so little IQ left, do you think that a mouth that can be sealed with money cannot be pried open with money?"
"...Mr. Qiao, I, not, I..."
"Okay, I'm pressed for time, so you don't need to talk anymore. I asked you to come here today because I just want to make something clear to you."
Xie Lingxi's face turned blue-gray, and he felt as if he had been slapped hard several times. The hand that was originally caressing his lower abdomen drooped down, and the words spoken by the old man opposite him were undoubtedly more sharp.
The blade of the knife pierced straight into her heart.
"Miss Xie, as you said, you met Jinglian first, so five years ago, I let Zijin marry Jinglian.
There is no emotional basis, and it is normal to be rejected. So I asked Zijin to study abroad for 5 years. In these 5 years, you have always stayed by Jinglian's side. I said nothing or took any measures.
These can be regarded as my compensation for you. I think that in the past five years, you have not suffered any grievances by Jinglian's side. You have everything you want. Let's just say that the high-end apartment in Huayuan Pavilion where you live now is also
Jinglian bought it for you. Of course, the money he spent belonged to me, Qiao Shiyun. The name on the real estate certificate is written by you, Xie Lingxi, and your car was also ordered by someone from abroad to be ordered for you by Jinglian. The whole
In City C, you are probably the only one who can afford to open a business. It can be said that although you have not sat in Zijin's position in these years, you have enjoyed great success. Miss Xie, do you think I am right? "
“…”
Xie Lingxi was trembling all over, lowering her eyes, biting her lips tightly, but tears kept rolling in her eyes.
No matter how stupid she is, she already knows now that Qiao Shiyun came to her today not to prepare her to be Qiao Shao's wife, but to humiliate her!
"Haha, Miss Xie, I have been working in the shopping mall for most of my life. Nowadays, I don't like to procrastinate when talking and doing things, so if you have anything to say, I won't hide it."
Qiao Shiyun reached out and touched the small tea cup in front of him, and continued: "I think Miss Xie, you are not a person who can't figure it out. I won't say more about anything else. In the past five years, I could have ignored it.
It’s about you and my son, but that won’t work now. My daughter-in-law is back, and I don’t want you to appear among them again and hinder their marriage.”
The last few words, like poisonous arrows, shot straight into Xie Lingxi's heart, "There is one sentence that I have said to Miss Xie now, and it will be effective forever - as long as I, Qiao Shiyun, am here,
I will only admit that Zijin is the daughter-in-law that I, Qiao Shiyun, am most satisfied with."
Qiao Shiyun stood up, took out the check from his pocket, and threw it in front of Xie Lingxi, "Actually, I didn't want to pay this money anymore. I just wanted to tell Jinglian that your so-called pregnancy was simply a lie to him.
You should know what Jing Lian hates the most. It is the most stupid thing to use this kind of thing to consolidate one's position. But I am also a person who has been through it. I understand how precious your women's youth is.
I will not take back the assets. You continue to live in the apartment and continue to drive the car. Here is a check for 50 million, 10 million a year. Miss Xie, the price I offered is not low. I hope you can take care of yourself.
Don't let me take action or say anything out loud again. You should make it clear to Jinglian yourself about this matter. After I come back from England, what I want to see is that Jinglian goes home every day."
…………
The last trace of blood on Xie Lingxi's lips had disappeared.
Fifty million... Ten million a year...
She stared at the check in front of her for a moment. To her, that was not a check, but a sharp sword that could blind her eyes and pierce her heart!
She felt that she had been humiliated. In 5 years, could it be that she had only followed Qiao Jinglian for 5 years?
She met Qiao Jinglian a long time ago, just because of Mr. Qiao's sexual position. Which woman is willing to follow a man for so many years without any name or status? But now... everything has come to nothing. Qiao Shiyun is so cruel that he pushed herself
Into the abyss!
Shen Zijin, that woman... What's so good about her?
Qiao Shiyun is treated like a treasure!
There was a kind of resentment deep in her heart that was constantly expanding. She couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept it no matter what. When she heard Qiao Shiyun's footsteps getting farther and farther, she stood up almost instantly. Qiao Shiyun was already holding him with one hand.
Xie Lingxi opened his mouth to stop the doorknob.
"Master Qiao!"
Qiao Shiyun opened the door for a moment without turning around, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I have something else to tell you."
Qiao Shiyun frowned, paused, then turned sideways and said, "What Miss Xie wants to say, just say it."
Xie Lingxi squeezed her hands at her side, her eyes flickered, and finally said: "Mr. Qiao, you can degrade me to nothing, but at least I am sincere to Jinglian. That Shen Zijin you talk about, you
Also do you know, has she ever done anything to feel sorry for Jinglian? In your heart, she is so pure and well-behaved, and she is the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family that you consider to be the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family. But as far as I know, she has done a lot of favors for Jinglian outside.
cap!"
Qiao Shiyun's face darkened, and he turned around suddenly, staring at Xie Lingxi, his tone was very impatient, "Miss Xie, I gave you face, I asked you to come to see me today, I didn't wrong you, I took your money,
Just be obedient and cooperative, and you won’t get nothing when the time comes!”
Xie Lingxi's eyes trembled. She was still a little wary of Qiao Shiyun, but now, her mentality was more of - risk it all.
If she can't be Miss Qiao in the end, why should she take advantage of Shen Zijin?
If it weren't for her, he would have married Jinglian 5 years ago...
She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said word by word: "Mr. Qiao, do you think I am slandering her? You are so rich and powerful, why don't you let someone investigate? In the past five years, that Shen Zijin,
Has she done anything good in England?"
…………
When Qiao Shiyun came out, the housekeeper who took care of him came up to him. Perhaps he noticed that his expression was not normal, and the housekeeper thought it was Xie Lingxi who was not easy to deal with.
"Master, are you okay?"
"fine."
Qiao Shijun's eyebrows were always frowning. With the help of the housekeeper, he got into the car. As soon as the driver started driving, he continued: "I will go to England in the afternoon. You stay in City C and help me contact people in England.
When Zi Jin was in school these years, his tutor said, I want to meet him and thank him for taking care of Zi Jin all these years."
The housekeeper was a little unsure of what Qiao Shiyun was thinking, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and nodded, "Yes."
…………
※※※※※
Ji Yang knocked on the door of the president's office, and soon a deep voice came from inside, "Come in."
Pushing the door open and walking in, Gu Yanshen was burying his head in the pile of documents. Ji Yang stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Director Qiao should have already boarded the plane."
Is it 2 o'clock?
Gu Yan frowned deeply, raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the shuttered window. The door of the office not far away was still locked.
Ji Yang has followed Gu Yanshen for so many years, so he is naturally able to figure out his boss's every move. Now he knows very well that Mr. Gu must be thinking about Miss Shen.
He immediately said: "Ms. Shen called today and said that... she wasn't coming to the company. She probably went to the construction site with Miss Mu. She said that there was nothing going on here anyway, so she went directly to the construction site to have a look."
Gu Yan glanced at Ji Yang with deep eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Did she call you?"
Ji Yang was stunned and nodded stiffly, "...Miss Shen is saying, let me speak to you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanshen nodded, holding his chin with one hand and resting the other on the executive desk. His slender fingers kept tapping the documents on the table. The door to the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Ji Yang subconsciously turned his face.
I saw Qiao Jinglian walking in with a blue folder and one hand in her trousers pocket.
"You go out first." Gu Yanshen said to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang nodded. When he passed by Qiao Jinglian, as a subordinate, he nodded to him very naturally and called General Manager Qiao.
Qiao Jinglian's face darkened, probably because she felt that being called General Manager Qiao was an insult in front of Gu Yanshen.
As soon as Ji Yang left, Qiao Jinglian threw the folder in her hand in front of Gu Yanshen, spread her hands and pressed it on the edge of the executive desk, clasping it with her fingers slightly.
He smiled with a sarcastic expression: "Mr. Gu, this is the progress of my project. At present, everything I can do has been completed. I am just waiting for Mr. Gu to sign, and the project can start."
Gu Yanshen took the document expressionlessly and took a look at it. There was indeed nothing wrong with it. It seemed that Qiao Jinglian had put a lot of effort into this project, otherwise she would not have flown to City A in person. A member of the Qiao family, Qiao Shiyun
He has a lot of blood and a bit of his business acumen.
Gu Yanshen didn't intend to embarrass Qiao Jinglian about this project. He picked up the pen and signed his name.
When throwing the document to Qiao Jinglian, Gu Yanshen's face showed a bit of majesty as the person in charge of the company, and he said word by word: "From now on, before entering the door, no matter whether there is someone inside, you must learn to knock on the door. Here is
The president's office is not your general manager's office, do you understand?"
Qiao Jinglian nodded pretendingly, and after a moment, she sneered, "Well, Mr. Gu, Shen Zijin is my Qiao Jinglian's wife, and it's not something you can get involved with. Do you understand?"
