The tip of Xie Lingxi's heart was trembling continuously. Her scarlet eyes moved, and then she lowered her eyes dully, looking at the papers in Qiao Jinglian's hand. What was written on them were all things that everyone in the world wanted to get.
, she has always been eager to get these, and she has always thought that she worked so hard to accommodate Qiao Jinglian, even if she was his lover and the mistress despised by the world, she felt that she could bear it, and it was all behind his back.
Those auras and substances are pushing themselves.
But at this moment, when she looked at the things in his hands and thought that she would really lose him completely soon, she felt extremely flustered...
"...Jinglian, what are you doing? What do you mean?"
"You should understand what I mean."
Qiao Jinglian frowned and her voice was a little low. He squeezed the corner of the papers in his hand, and his strength was a little out of control. This woman, who has been with him for so many years, is not really a heartless person. To put it bluntly, he would have done it before.
He plays unscrupulously outside, but the woman he plays for fun is still the woman who really belongs to him, and he knows the difference very clearly.
And he would never treat a woman badly with him, but for Xie Lingxi... Qiao Jinglian admitted that he was indeed an asshole!
Because he had never thought of abandoning her before.
abandon……
Isn't his current behavior just abandonment?
But there was really no way to continue. He had never known what it felt like to really like someone and care about someone. Now that he felt it, it was like there was a sudden strength in his body.
Overturning something he had always believed——
For example, he always thought that he liked Xie Lingxi because she was his first love and the first person he wanted to get along with. But what he couldn't deny was that what he found in Xie Lingxi was a kind of passion.
.
A kind of passion that a man has for a woman in bed.
When they make love, they really fit together very well. The physical fit gives him the illusion that their souls are also in tune.
He has lived in a family that was not harmonious since he was a child. The so-called "love" seems very ridiculous to him, so since he learned about sex and love, he has been constantly changing the women in his bed.
At that time, he was fascinated by her body.
Now that I think about it, it was only her body that maintained the relationship between them.
Maybe, without the appearance of the woman Shen Zijin, he would have continued like this, or maybe he would have really married Xie Lingxi five years ago, but what about after the marriage? What would happen to them, he could not imagine at all.
But Shen Zijin appears, so what does she mean?
From the beginning of his hostility and prejudice against her, later, he began to pay attention to her, sympathize with her, and then slowly got to know her, clearly seeing the resilience in her, and understanding that she has always persisted over the years.
Those reasons at Qiao's house.
What shocked him the most was actually what made him jealous the most.
He had never told anyone that that day, the newspaper broke the news about her cheating. On the way home, he had been thinking bitterly - if he saw that woman, could he take action?
Beat her? She was so bold to cuckold him. He knew very well who that man was. All the things he had suspected before were suddenly confirmed. It was like his whole body was suddenly pushed into an ice cellar, cold and cold.
The pain is heartbreaking.
But when I really returned to Qiao's house, I saw such a delicate woman kneeling on the ground with a firm look on her face. Her body was covered in blood, but her face was full of stubbornness. She straightened her back and admitted that she had really cheated.
And she said so clearly and bravely that that man was not a fighter, but the man she liked...
At that time, Qiao Jinglian felt that she must have been bewitched.
As her husband, shouldn't he slap her on the spot?
Why did he feel that what he saw at that moment was not a shameless woman who cheated and betrayed him, but a woman who was brave enough to face any harm for the sake of love?
At that moment, he was really crazy with jealousy.
Then he realized with some fear that his heart was sinking uncontrollably, and even he didn't know why - was he attracted to her, or was he really longing for the kind of love that could be achieved for the sake of love?
The urge to do anything at all costs, really.
…………
Of course, Qiao Jinglian knew very well that this was his change in Shen Zijin. Between him and Xie Lingxi, Shen Zijin could probably only be regarded as the "fuse", but it was not the source of the problem.
Xie Lingxi had planned several things behind Shen Zijin's back, including her deceiving him, which made him start to re-examine this woman and the "emotion" between himself and her.
In the past two days, he has been asking himself, why can he choose to forgive Shen Zijin and Gu Yanshen after they did such things? And he still wants to pursue her again?
Why was he disappointed and bored after learning that Xie Lingxi had manipulated Shen Zijin and even deceived her about getting pregnant?
…………
If we want to talk about the nature of deception, Shen Zijin is obviously more hateful than Xie Lingxi, but he is reluctant to let go of that woman's hand.
What exactly is love?
He hasn't found a definite answer yet, but there is already a voice in his body, guiding him to go step by step, do it, and strive for what he really wants.
"...Lingling, it won't do you any harm to take these. I know you will think that I am a bastard. I have wasted so much of your time. I have always told you that I will let you be my Qiao Jinglian."
My wife, but I finally have to break my promise to you. I'm sorry. I can't give you anything else, but these should be enough for you to live the rest of your life."
Qiao Jinglian suppressed the emotions in her heart, reached out and grabbed Xie Lingxi's hand, gave her the contracts and checks, and explained in a deep voice, "...I can't continue to delay your youth, because I know that I will never
I can give you what you want. In fact, you are still very young and can definitely find a better one... Lingling, I'm sorry, if you don't want to stay in City C, I will arrange for you to go abroad. You told me before,
My family died young, so I was not able to complete my studies. I entered the society very early. Now I have the opportunity. If you want, I can let you choose a school abroad. Whatever you want, I will cover the tuition and living expenses.
I'll help you get it done, I won't treat you badly, and if you need it in the future, I will also ask someone to help you find a good job."
"…………"
"I, Qiao Jinglian, keep my word. You should know who I am. My phone number will never change. You can take these with me, Lingling. If you are willing, we can still be friends..."
"friend?"
Xie Lingxi's lips trembled, and she suddenly reached out and pushed Qiao Jinglian away. The contracts and checks and other papers in her hands fell to the ground. Her red eyes were just staring at the man in front of her, and she saw the hidden meaning in his sharp eyebrows.
Feeling a sense of numbness over her own guilt, she laughed nervously, "...that's really good, Qiao Jinglian, how many years has it been since you and I knew each other? No, no, 10 years.
It’s been 8 years, right? How many times have I slept with you in so many days? My first time was for you, and my first child was also yours. I sadly had an abortion for you in the UK, which hurt me.
It is possible that you will never be able to have children again in this life, also because of you——"
"It's all because of you, do you know?"
"What kind of friend are you talking about to me now! There will never be a more selfish man in this world than you! When you fucked me, when you inserted your thing into my body, why didn't you treat me as a friend?
When you ejaculated inside me, why didn't you think you were my friend? You said you loved me, but did you love me like this? I won't want these things from you, and I won't leave.
City C, you want me to make things happen for you and Shen Zijin, right? You’re dreaming! Qiao Jinglian, you’ve been indebted to me all your life. I’m so wholeheartedly devoted to your woman, but you don’t want it, so I’m going to favor that Shen Zijin. She and Shen Zijin
Gu Yanshen rolled around on the bed with you on his back and cuckolded you, but you still waited for me, you are really the funniest man in the world!"
…………
"What did you say?"
Qiao Jinglian suddenly raised her head, her eyes that were originally filled with guilt suddenly became extremely sharp. He suddenly took two steps towards Xie Lingxi with his long legs, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and pulled hard, "...
What did you just say?"
"…………"
Xie Lingxi's breath was still stuck in her throat, and two strings of tears hung on her face. She looked a little embarrassed, but in her heart, she was even more embarrassed.
She didn't know what was wrong with Qiao Jinglian, why did he suddenly change? She just said a lot of things, which one was she asking herself?
…………
"Xie Lingxi, why do you know what happened between Shen Zijin and Gu Yanshen?"
Unable to wait for Xie Lingxi's response, Qiao Jinglian became impatient and asked word for word, "Huh? You just made it clear to me, didn't you? You said the video has nothing to do with you, of course... that
The man in the video has also been dealt with, so I am very curious, why do you know about the matter between Shen Zijin and Gu Yanshen?"
"…………"
Xie Lingxi's brain buzzed, and then she realized what she had said. Her heart was beating fast, her face was stiff, and she couldn't react for a long time.
"You have always played me like a fool. Do I trust you too much, or am I too stupid? Huh?"
Qiao Jinglian shook her head and pushed Xie Lingxi away. She looked at her with sharp eyes and a strong sense of disappointment, "Do you really think that I want to break up with you because of Shen Zijin? I'm sorry for you.
,Huh? How many things have you hidden from me? You should think about it carefully. I have not treated you badly over the years. You just did not sit in the position of Mr. Qiao, but you have always enjoyed this.
treatment, if you lie to me, if you don’t pretend in front of me..."
He stretched out his hand, punched the wall with his fist, and said word by word, "...I don't want to know now why you know about Shen Zijin and Gu Yanshen, but I tell you, in this matter, you are the most
You're so obedient to keep it a secret, I won't take back what I gave you, live your life well and don't come to me again in the future."
"...Jinglian."
The door to the apartment was suddenly opened, and Xie Lingxi rushed forward in panic. Qiao Jinglian quickly dodged to the side, but she missed. The man walked into the elevator without looking back, and Xie Lingxi chased after him in despair.
When he went up, he could only lie on the closed double doors of the elevator, beating and crying, "...Jinglian, I didn't mean to...I really don't want to deceive you...Jinglian, please...please you"
Don’t want me... Jinglian, come back... come back..."
…………
※※※※※
Gu Yanshen signed the last word on the document, and the cell phone beside him suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller number, his eyes softened a little, and without hesitation, he directly pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear. Gu Yanshen gently put down the expensive pen between his fingers and pinched himself.
With a painful nose, he heard the female voice on the other end calling his name affectionately, and he responded lightly, "...Mom, isn't it already night in England at this time? Aren't you going to rest yet?"
Gu Huimin was thoughtful and had no intention of hiding anything, so she said directly: "How long have you not seen me? Last time you said that something happened in the company, everyone arrived at the door, and then suddenly turned back. This time
When do you plan to come back?"
"In two days."
Gu Yanshen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. There was a date on it. He made some calculations in his mind and then said: "Today is the 3rd, I'll go there on the 5th, okay?"
"No. 5? No, have you forgotten that the 4th is Xiao Yan's birthday? Yan Shen, mom has always been very supportive of your work, but it's Xiao Yan's birthday, no matter how busy you are, you have to make time for this
One day comes, you know?"
After Gu Huimin said this, Gu Yanshen really remembered that the 4th was indeed Situ Yan's birthday.
Because the Situ family has a very good relationship with his mother, he can be said to have watched Situ Yan grow up. In the past, every birthday of hers or his own birthday, they were present, and he was the elder brother.
, I would give her a birthday gift every year, but this year because someone else was in City C, I actually forgot about this day.
"I see."
In his heart, Situ Yan is not a woman, but a sister. Gu Yanshen lacks too much in family relationships, so he especially cherishes those he wants to cherish, "I will go to England tomorrow."
Only then did Gu Huimin laugh with satisfaction, "Obey now, don't forget the gift. I'll tell you secretly, Xiao Yan said that she is obsessed with that Japanese limited edition doll recently. If you give her this,
She will be very happy."
Ji Yang just knocked on the door and came in. Gu Yanshen saw that he had something to talk to him, so he hurriedly said to Gu Huimin, "I know, I will be ready. Mom, I'll hang up first. Is there anyone else here?"
Less things to deal with.”
Gu Huimin warned him a few more times before hanging up the phone.
"Mr. Gu."
Ji Yang waited for Gu Yanshen to put away his phone, and then he stepped forward. He handed a piece of paper in his hand to Gu Yanshen and said, "This is what Situ Lin asked me to give to you. It was from his
The office faxed me the information you needed before."
Gu Yanshen's expression was a little serious. He held a corner of the paper with his long, bony fingers and frowned slightly. There was a list on it, with contact information and avatars, and the information about these people on the side.
Ji Yang said: "Mr. Gu, these are the things you asked Situ Lin to investigate before. People who came from city b to city c and visited the western suburbs all found out during that time period. That's it, because b
The distance between City C and City C is not too close, so there are not too many people coming here. There is probably a person on this paper. I can find someone to investigate one by one. But it should take some time."
Gu Yanshen didn't make a sound. He held the paper with his elbow on the executive desk. The index finger of his other hand slid under his lips. His thin lips were pressed tightly, sharp.
His eyes seemed calm, but there was a sharp light gradually gathering in them.
"...There is a prison in city b."
He suddenly spoke, put the paper on the table, and tapped it upward with his long finger. His rich voice was also calm, "I don't know what the prison is called yet, but you can ask someone to investigate and find out all the prisons in City B."
All the information has been investigated, and I don’t have a clear idea yet, but no matter what, even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you have to find this needle, do you understand?”
In fact, the easiest way to find prison information is to find Situ Lin. He was originally from the police, but Gu Yanshen had no intention of telling Situ Lin this. Because he knew very well that some things could not be made too clear for the time being.
, especially the relationship between the Situ family and his mother is already good. If there is really any problem in the B City Prison that Zi Jin has something to do with, he is very worried that the problems between them will become more and more serious in the future.
The bigger.
"...This matter will be investigated privately."
Ji Yang nodded, knowing very well that this matter must be related to Miss Shen, that's why Mr. Gu was so cautious.
"Mr. Gu, I know, I will investigate it as soon as possible."
Gu Yanshen stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, "I'm going back to England tomorrow..."
After a pause, he added: "Tomorrow is Xiaoyan's birthday. My mother called me specifically and told me to go back. Because of Zijin's incident, he arrived in England and suddenly came back. She was already very unhappy. Now
This time I wanted to make her happy, so I had to go back to the UK. You asked someone to get a Japanese limited edition doll right away. If it was too late, have someone bring it directly to the UK tomorrow."
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, "...Mr. Gu, um, there are quite a few limited edition dolls, what specific models are they?"
"…………"
"Just ask someone to prepare the most popular limited edition."
Little girls generally like the new and hate the old. For dolls like this, they just want whichever one is popular at the moment.
Ji Yang nodded, "I understand, Mr. Gu."
After all the words were said, the person hadn't left yet. This was not like the usual Ji Yang. Gu Yanshen raised his eyebrows and saw the man still standing in front of him. His eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was hesitating about something.
, this is even less like the Ji Yang he knows.
Gu Yanshen chuckled, "Why, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"…………"
"If you have anything to do, just say it. You're not a hesitant person."
He reached for the coffee on the side and took a casual sip, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ji Yang's eyes flickered for a moment, and Gu Yanshen could clearly see that the expression on his face was a bit embarrassing, but it was fleeting, and then he heard him cough lightly and said in an unnatural tone, "...
I think that after Mr. Gu comes back from the UK, I will take a week off with you and I need to go out."
"Ji Yang, you are in city C and you don't have any relatives or friends. Do you want to go back to England?"
Ji Yang's family is all from the UK. In his early years, his parents immigrated and settled in the UK. Moreover, Ji Yang also has a sister who is also in the UK. It seems that she got married the year before last and gave birth to a child last year.
"……no."
Ji Yang's expression became even more awkward, "...Mr. Gu, I have some personal matters."
Gu Yanshen curled his thin lips, "Is it about women's private matters? Ji Yang, you have always helped me diligently. To be honest, I know your strength very well. When I finish all my own affairs, I won't
I will wrong you again. Of course, your life-long event must be done first. Wait until I come back from England. I will approve it in a month, not to mention a week."
Ji Yang, "…………"

Zi Jin has lost count of how many times he has hung up on Qiao Jinglian.
Starting from the morning today, he would call her every 5-10 minutes. She hesitated to press the reject button at first, and finally pressed it directly. However, the other party seemed to refuse to give up until he achieved his goal.
He kept calling like this, but she didn't answer, but he was very persistent and refused to give up. Zijin looked at the battery of his mobile phone and it was almost wiped out by the ringtone. Now he only has 25% of the battery left.
She really had a headache.
Looking at the time, it was almost 7 o'clock. She thought that Gu Yanshen would be back soon. She ran to the balcony and saw that there was no car downstairs. She thought of giving him a call. Who knew that she just pressed the phone?
A call happened to come in, and in an instant, she pressed the call button.
Looking at the name dancing above, Zijin's heart tightened subconsciously, and she quickly put it to her ear.
"……dad."
Qiao Shiyun's voice sounded a little unhappy, "Why haven't you been able to contact anyone all day? Zijin, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
…………
***
I’m crying to death, let me forget it! What’s going on these two days? The weather is so good, have you gone out? There is no message, no monthly pass, my heart is broken, does anyone still read this article? Read it? Read it? Read it? Woohoo
