145 Since you are following me now, then you are mine!
When Zi Jin heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He never thought in his dreams that what Qiao Shiyun was going to say was actually such a thing.
Her heartbeat also accelerated, but it was not because of excitement.
When she was in the Qiao family, she was always the smallest existence, and sometimes she didn't even have the right to say a word. She remembered every bit of Qiao Shiyun's support for her, but Li Muhua and Qiao Jingting's love for her
Being harsh also made her not want to say anything more.
In fact, it's not that I don't dare to refute, it's just that I'm too lazy to make a fuss and make the family no longer peaceful.
Yes, after marrying as a daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, she is still a member of the Qiao family. No matter how discordant the Qiao family is, as the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, even if she does not think that Li Muhua is her mother-in-law, Qiao Shiyun,
But he was still her father-in-law and her elder. She kept saying "Dad" willingly.
Therefore, she didn't want to cause trouble for Qiao Shiyun. If someone was kind to her, how could she repay kindness with hatred?
But now, when Qiao Shiyun said such things, Zijin felt that he couldn't bear it.
In her and Qiao Jinglian's situation, holding a grand anniversary for the 5th anniversary was not only "well deserved", but also felt unnatural in her heart.
It's not a real love affair, is it just a show for who to see?
No matter if it is shown to anyone in City C, she feels that the grander it is, the more embarrassing it is for her, because she knows very well what she has done.
"Dad...I don't agree with this matter."
Taking a deep breath, Zijin finally plucked up the courage, his clear eyes met Qiao Shiyun's, and he said without humility: "...I feel that Jinglian and I are not suitable to hold such an anniversary.
, and there is no need to waste money..."
"Zijin, don't worry about money. Dad is happy to take care of it for you. These are just small amounts of money..."
"It's not just about money, I don't want to-"
"Why don't you want to?"
Before Zi Jin finished speaking, Qiao Jinglian hugged her shoulders a little harder, raised an eyebrow, and interrupted her, "I think it's good. Since dad said so, then I did it.
The 5th anniversary is quite good. I agree."
Zijin, "…………"
She subconsciously turned her gaze to Qiao Jinglian, who had been hugging her, pursed her lips, and there was a bit of doubt in her eyes - what did he mean? What was wrong? She had refused to divorce her before. She could think that he was unhappy in his heart.
I feel comfortable. If I want to marry him, I will marry him. If I want a divorce, I will divorce him. There is always a feeling of being led by others.
Therefore, she didn't want to use the "evidence" Gu Yanshen gave her to attack him. She didn't like him, but she didn't really want to fight him to death.
But now, there is no need to hold such a fifth anniversary. Qiao Shiyun doesn't understand the relationship between them, but doesn't he, Qiao Jinglian, know?
Qiao Shiyun didn't expect that Qiao Jinglian actually agreed. Her face was glowing red and she was even more happy, "Jinglian has agreed, so the matter is settled——"
Glancing around, he saw Gu Yanshen standing aside without speaking. Qiao Shiyun coughed slightly and asked his eldest son's opinion, "Yanshen, what do you think?"
In the Qiao family, Qiao Shiyun was very considerate to Gu Yanshen. Ever since he came back, he seemed to like to ask his eldest son's opinion no matter what the matter was.
But Gu Yanshen knew that, in fact, this was not respect, it was just flattery at most.
His own biological father carefully wanted to flatter him, and for what reason? It was just so that he could wholeheartedly take care of the Qiao family. The Qiao family had always belonged to the Qiao family, and his surname was Gu, although he didn't bother to change his surname.
But he knew more clearly that Qiao Shiyun had no intention of letting him change his surname.
There is a difference between a son who has grown up under his knees and a son who has been exiled abroad for many years.
Gu Yanshen's long, sharply knuckled fingers tugged at the collar of his shirt. His heavy gaze was particularly obscure. His eyes swept over the man and woman in front of him, and finally landed on the pair of hands pressing the woman's slender shoulders.
palm.
There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, but it was fleeting. There was no emotion on his handsome face. In the end, he just raised his eyebrows and his thin, sexy lips.
He raised a faint smile with unknown meaning, and when he spoke, his eyes fell on Zijin's face, "Isn't this a matter between them as husband and wife? Ask me, and my advice will definitely be used?"
Qiao Shiyun, "…………"
He knew that Gu Yanshen didn't have much sincere respect for him, but in front of the whole family, his words still made his old face feel a little embarrassed.
He coughed and his eyes flashed, "...you are Jinglian's brother after all. Of course, your opinion is very important."
The smile at the corner of Gu Yanshen's mouth was even deeper, but when that smile fell in Zijin's eyes, it was clearly a bit sharp. She didn't know why, but she felt guilty and a little uncomfortable, so she could only avoid it.
His eyes looked plain, but actually they were more aggressive.
"Wedding anniversaries, this kind of thing, are just for outsiders to see. Of course, if you think it is necessary, just like you said, the Qiao family does not have money, so you can do whatever you want. As for Qiao,
Sir, it’s me who makes the decision now, and I don’t think this kind of shushing will be helpful to the company.”
"…………"
Qiao Shiyun's face was even more embarrassed. He frowned for a moment and said nothing.
Li Muhua stood aside and listened to the two people saying a few words. On this matter, she naturally took the position of "disagreeing". And after listening to Gu Yanshen's words, she could not figure out anything else, but she could
What he figured out was that Gu Yanshen seemed to disdain this anniversary. He stood forward and said in a mocking tone: "I don't think it's necessary either."
Qiao Shiyun looked at his wife and snorted emotionlessly, "I'm not asking for your opinion now."
Li Muhua, "…………"
"Qiao Shiyun, what do you mean? Am I no longer a member of the Qiao family? Since you didn't ask for my opinion, why did you call us back? I am still the hostess of the Qiao family! I will tell you directly now that I don't agree.
!”
"I know you definitely don't agree. Regarding Zijin's matter, which one have you agreed to? I called you back on this matter because I respect you as the mistress of the Qiao family, but I really didn't ask for your opinion.
!”
"you……"
Li Muhua's face was so angry that she twisted her face. Zijin watched her squeeze the hands at her sides tightly, and the fingers painted with sapphire blue nail polish were deeply embedded in her palms, just like she was shaking in front of his eyes just now.
, with a bossy look on his face, forming a sharp contrast.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little funny.
"Isn't it about me and Zijin? Dad, you don't need to ask anyone else, right?"
Qiao Jinglian pulled Zi Jin and looked directly at Gu Yanshen's provocative eyes, "Ask him what to do? I said it's necessary, then go ahead and do it. I agree, do whatever it takes to be nice."
Zijin felt that Qiao Jinglian's hand pinching her shoulder hurt her and made her uncomfortable. She struggled for a while, but Qiao Jinglian refused to let go. Since she refused to let go, she simply mustered up the courage and said to Qiao Shiyun: "
Dad, can you let me say something? Since you all said that this is our business, then I also want to express my opinion. I don’t want to do this. There is really no need..."
"Honey, why is it not necessary?"
Qiao Jinglian interrupted her. The word "wife" made Zijin's eyebrows wrinkle up, but the corner of the man's mouth curled up into a seemingly gentle smile. He stretched out his hand and gently touched it with his five fingers.
He touched her cheek, and with slightly cold fingers, regardless of Zijin's objection, he rubbed her cheek and Bai Xi said word by word: "Are you angry with me? I know that I have really wronged you over the years, so
Aren’t we making it up to you now? Stop making trouble, eh? I think this anniversary is quite good, so this is how it should be done—"
Zijin bit her lip, she really didn't like Qiao Jinglian touching her unscrupulously in front of so many people, even on her cheek, she felt too uncomfortable.
She stretched out her hand and pushed away Qiao Jinglian's hand that was caressing her cheek. Qiao Jinglian didn't force it. She let go of her and turned around. Her eyes met Gu Yanshen's again. What he said next was clearly what he meant.
For Gu Yanshen to listen to.
"...Tell people all over the world that in fact, I, Qiao Jinglian, don't really love my wife. At least from now on, I want to love my wife well and save money. Some people always think about themselves.
You shouldn’t worry about it.”
…………
Zijin only felt her temples beating suddenly, and the back of her head also ached. She couldn't figure out what kind of madness Qiao Jinglian was, but of course she could still vaguely detect it - Qiao Jinglian probably had some emotions, and was directed at
Gu Yanshen went there, right?
She took a deep breath, moved her red lips, and wanted to say something. Suddenly she felt that among everyone's eyes, there was the most familiar, but also the most piercing gaze, projected on her body, making her
There is a feeling like a light on the back.
…………
She knew whose it belonged to, and all the words she wanted to argue with came to her throat and she swallowed them back.
Suddenly, I didn't want to say anything anymore - in front of Qiao's family, what did she mean by struggling like this, disagreeing, and rebutting? It always felt like she was expressing her feelings to him.
She didn't need to do this. The ruthless words of Dr. Xiao still reminded her in her mind that he and she were people from two different worlds, and that kind of "combination" was simply a fight that everyone wanted to make.
Yes, she can't have it, and she can't afford it.
…………
Anyway, with Qiao Shiyun and Qiao Jinglian looking so determined to have an affair, she seemed to talk too much and it would not have any effect. Even if she wanted to object, she felt that she should talk to Qiao Shiyun privately. Now, she chose to do nothing.
Said.
"Um."
Qiao Shiyun listened to what Qiao Jinglian said and nodded with great satisfaction, "Since Jinglian agrees and Yan Shen has no objection, then the matter is settled."
Li Muhua snorted coldly and was still thinking about what to say, when the servant came up and called "Master" respectfully.
"Dinner is ready, are you ready to eat now?"
"Go and get ready. Everyone is eating at home today." Qiao Shiyun gave instructions to the servants.
As soon as the servant left, Qiao Shiyun took Gu Yanshen and asked about Qiao's situation. The atmosphere in the entire living room seemed to be broken up. Seeing that he had no chance to speak, Li Muhua glanced at Zijin and refused to let go.
His son took a step forward, took Qiao Jinglian's hand, and glared at him angrily, "...Jinglian, come here with mom, I have something to tell you."
Zijin wished that Qiao Jinglian would leave quickly, so he struggled out of his wrist without leaving a trace, and stood to the side very wisely.
Li Muhua glared at her coldly, pulled Qiao Jinglian and walked towards the outskirts of the living room.
Qiao Shijun and Gu Yanshen were sitting in the living room, and Zijin couldn't stand still. Gu Yanshen's eyes, if vague, would always fall on her. She really felt guilty and uncomfortable. She simply turned around and
, was about to go to the kitchen to have a look, but when he looked up, he happened to see Qiao Jingting coming down the stairs.
Their eyes met in the air, and they were both stunned.
Zijin was a little surprised, because it could be seen that she had clearly dressed up carefully. She had probably been putting on makeup since she had been up there for such a long time. Now her little face looked even more attractive. Qiao Jingting looked really good.
She is not ugly, and she dresses with good taste, but what makes Zijin surprised is why she dresses up on such a whim?
…………
Qiao Jingting gave Zijin a disdainful look. When she came down from the stairs, she probably saw that there were not many people in the living room, but her eyes soon fell on the back of the tall man.
He sat there with a lazy but elegant posture, his long legs crossed casually. A servant came up and bent down to pour him water. The man held a cigarette between his slender fingers and casually placed it on the rim of the glass.
Yi Gai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No need."
Qiao Jingting's eyes flickered and she was a little distracted.
During this period of time, she rarely saw Gu Yanshen in person, but TV media and gossip magazines all reported on him. Such an outstanding man, with exquisite features, but (year old), every move and gesture exuded a strong
His masculine charm made her unable to take her eyes away after seeing him.
She didn't know what this feeling was called, but she couldn't help but always wanted to know his every move, see his messages, feel his masculine charm, and then couldn't control her heartbeat...
Zijin actually didn't want to focus on Qiao Jingting, but after she got downstairs, the girl's Huaichun-like eyes fell directly on Gu Yanshen. For a moment, she was shocked and couldn't even breathe.
All forgotten.
As an outsider, she seemed to be able to see things more clearly.
Qiao Jingting looked at Gu Yanshen's eyes - that was...
There was a buzzing sound in the back of her head, and Zijin couldn't believe her eyes. She felt that she must have guessed wrong, no, she had seen it wrong, right?
But with such a vivid scene in front of him, the girl looked deeply at the man with an admiring look. This... isn't it heart-warming? What is it?
But Qiao Jingting, shouldn't she call Gu Yanshen brother?
…………
"Master, it's time to eat."
The servant suddenly came up, nodded and told Qiao Shiyun. Qiao Shiyun nodded, stood up, and saw Zijin standing at the door of the living room with a strange expression on her face, looking thoughtful. He thought she was still thinking about the wedding anniversary.
He stepped forward and patted her shoulder, "Zijin, don't think so much, don't be burdened. Everything Dad decides is carefully considered. Besides, you see, Jinglian is much more sensible now and knows how to be considerate of you, Dad."
I'm really happy, and I have no other wishes. I just hope that you and your wife will be well, and that I can report on my grandson before I die."
"Dad...I didn't think about that."
Qiao Shiyun interrupted Zijin when she was deep in thought, and his earnest words made Zijin feel a little bit guilty. She answered it almost instinctively.
When Qiao Shiyun heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Then you agree from the bottom of your heart, right? This is a good thing."
Zijin, "…………"
In fact, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but a dark shadow flashed beside him, and a familiar masculine scent came to his face, with a strong smell of tobacco. For some reason, Zijin felt that this seemed to be profound.
The smell deep in her soul seemed to be stained with something sharp at this moment.
So much so that she actually choked when she breathed it into her lungs.
Sure enough, she still couldn't hold it back, she covered her lips and coughed.
The moment she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Yanshen's tall and straight body walking into the restaurant, and Qiao Jingting followed him in. Her heart sank slightly, her face was calm, but in her heart, there was an inexplicable emotion.
, the throat is still a little astringent.
"Let's go and eat. Dad is back today. Don't go out again. The conflict with Jinglian has been going on for so many days. It's time to mediate."
"dad……"
"Oh, by the way -" Zi Jin was about to say something, but Qiao Shiyun frowned and interrupted her at the right time, "About your father's matter, you and I can go to the study room after dinner. I happen to be a little bit
Let me tell you the matter."
When the matter about Shen Dongming was mentioned, Zijin had already forgotten everything else. She nodded, said "Okay", and followed Qiao Shiyun into the restaurant.
Soon, Li Muhua and Qiao Jinglian also came in.
Before Zi Jin took his seat, Qiao Shiyun was sitting directly above him. The seat on the side was naturally reserved for Li Muhua. Gu Yanshen was already seated at the first seat on the left, while Qiao Jingting stood aside with a shy look on her face.
In fact, the whole family was here for dinner. This was the first time that this happened. Naturally, Qiao Shiyun made the decision at home. He looked at the people standing and said to Qiao Jingting: "Jingting, sit next to Yan Shen."
superior."
Then he pointed to the first position on the right and said to Zijin: "Zijin, sit next to me. Jinglian, sit next to Zijin."
Zijin's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyebrows twitched as well. The first seat on the right... She thought that seat should be reserved for Qiao Jinglian, but why was she designated to sit there?
In fact, Qiao Shiyun had no other intention in making this arrangement. He knew that the two brothers disliked each other and thought that Zijin was working with Gu Yanshen in the company, so he used her to adjust it and let her sit opposite Gu Yanshen.
However, this was too embarrassing for Zijin.
Although eating with Gu Yanshen was not a big deal, and they had done so several times in private, but in front of the Qiao family, it was a different feeling, and sitting next to her was her nominal husband...
…
But no matter how difficult it is, I have to sit down.
Zijin took a deep breath and was about to sit down, but Qiao Jinglian reached out and grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his seat. He sat opposite Gu Yanshen and said, "Dad
, why should I sit in this position? Although I said that I will love my wife now, but I still have to distinguish the priorities clearly, right? "
Zijin, "…………"
Qiao Shiyun was stunned for a moment, "It's just a place. If you think this is good, then just sit like this. Okay, let's eat."
Zi Jin had never had such a difficult meal. If she thought that sitting at Qiao's dining table to eat was torture before, now it was even more painful than Ling Chi.
However, Qiao Jinglian didn't know if she had a convulsion in her forehead, so she was so courteous to herself, "Here, eat some of this, you are too thin, eat more to gain weight."
Zijin, "…………"
Seeing the extra piece of braised pork on his rice bowl, Zijin almost instinctively picked up the chopsticks and picked up the piece of braised pork. Just as he was about to throw it into the small bowl on the side, Qiao Shiyun, who was directly above him, suddenly spoke,
"Zijin has indeed lost a lot of weight. I've only been away for a few days. Why do I seem to be haggard again? Are you a little unaccustomed to City C after coming back from the UK? Or is there too much pressure at work? Yan Shen is putting pressure on you.
Already?"
Zijin's move to throw away the piece of meat was embarrassing. Qiao Shiyun's last words reached her ears. After lingering on the apex of her heart, it seemed that the taste suddenly changed, and it actually made her
I feel it's ambiguous.
She knew that she had "a guilty conscience", but how could she control this situation?
A mouthful of rice was still stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently a few times. Zijin quickly put down his chopsticks, covered his lips, and politely glanced aside.
But she just happened to hear the voice of the man opposite, a deep voice, rich and pleasant, but with a hint of ambiguity, "Of course I have to put pressure on her, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to find the direction. Since she is following me now, she is mine."
, even if I put pressure on her, it was for her own good."
