Zijin felt really mixed emotions, her body was cold, her little hands under the quilt were tightly holding the sheets, and she never dared to raise her head to look into Qiao Shiyun's eyes.
Her trust in Qiao Shiyun has always been perfect. If she wanted to score it 100 points, it would definitely not be less than 1 point. But now... something seemed to be changing quietly. When she suddenly discovered such a change, she
Fear, panic, uneasiness...
It was as if her whole world wished to be overturned, but the more this happened, the more frightened she felt.
——Who is lying? Who is lying?
She remembered that when Qiao Jingting said those words, her face didn't look like she was lying, not to mention why she would deliberately come to her face and say such things. Her purpose was just to get 5% of Qiao's shares in her hands, no matter how she gave it
I make excuses for myself, but I still can't convince myself.
…………
So, is it Qiao Shiyun?
But what is his purpose for doing this? Is it just to use such hard and soft methods to force himself to make it impossible for him to refuse to participate in the fifth wedding anniversary?
…………
Zijin's heart was in chaos. She didn't dare to say anything. She didn't have any evidence. She was just thinking about the war between heaven and man in her heart, and she couldn't think of a reason. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Jinglian felt a little unhappy, but when she thought about how she just fell from the building, she felt guilty again. After hesitating for a long time, she still frowned and said: "...Since the anniversary thing has been resolved,
It’s already been done like this. It’s okay not to participate. If you really don’t want to show up, I will show up when the time comes..."
"Both of you have to come forward!"
Qiao Shijun interrupted Qiao Jinglian's words. Looking at Zijin who had been refusing to raise his head or speak, his eyes flickered, "...Zijin, I know you are reluctant. Jinglian has indeed gone too far this time.
I said, I will definitely help you make the decision, but regarding the fifth wedding anniversary, you should treat it as a favor for your father. Whatever happened before, let’s talk about it later.”
"…………"
Zi Jin is not a cold-hearted person, especially when it comes to Qiao Shiyun. Even now, she still has a feeling in her heart that the old man she has always trusted and respected the most is using a "bitter trick" on her.
But he still couldn't be cold-faced and refuse directly.
What's more, she is not sure now whether it is really a "bitter flesh trick".
In the past five years, whether she was in the Qiao family or in the UK, Qiao Shiyun always took good care of her, and her father... Zi Jin thought, a human being cannot burn bridges by crossing the river. She suppressed these thoughts one by one.
Where do you still have the courage to say the word "no"?
"...Dad, regarding the fifth wedding anniversary...I can promise you, but I have a condition."
Zijin pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "...I know you will think that I am pushing my limits now, but I have really thought about this matter for a long time. I have always wanted to tell you, but I have never had the chance."
"you say."
"In the past five years, I have been relying on the support of your Qiao family. I took a leave of absence from school in the UK and joined Qiao's when I came back. Dad, I am very grateful that you gave me 5% of Qiao's shares. In fact, I should really feel lucky.
, if I hadn’t met you, I might not know what I would be like now..."
Zijin slowly organized her words in her mind. Such a scene made her feel as if she was in a "negotiation", but this negotiation technique, which was similar to "courtesy first and then attack", she unconsciously used, perhaps even to herself.
She had never noticed that a lot of changes had taken place in her body in just over a month, and these changes were all given to her by a man named Gu Yanshen.
"...I am capable now. I work at Joe's and I am also paid. So Dad, I would like to make a request to you. I hope that after the 5th anniversary, I can take my own father away from me.
He was taken out of that hospital and I wanted to take care of him myself."
"…………"
Qiao Shiyun's expression remained unchanged, but the fingers holding the cane suddenly became stronger.
"...Zijin, it's not that I disagree. It's not easy to get out of your father's current situation. If something really happens, I won't be able to protect him. You should know that."
This topic had not come up before and she had withdrawn it, but this time, Zijin did not want to stop there. Of course, she actually had selfish motives in her heart. She overheard Qiao Shiyun at the door of the hospital ward.
She only told Gu Yanshen about the conversation with the strange man, but she was still worried about it in her heart. She even thought about whether there were many things that she didn't know, but her father always
Clearly?
Zijin was a little anxious. She frowned and sat up from the bed, "Dad, I know, I will be responsible for these consequences! I know it is a bit irresponsible for me to say such things now, but after all, it is mine.
My biological father is the only person I love most in this world. I really don’t want him to be locked up in that hospital alone forever. Dad, I..."
Zijin said, his eyes were red, Qiao Jinglian looked at her like this, her face was pale, her big eyes were filled with tears, she was actually quite pitiful, her throat felt a little warm, and when she realized
When he came over, he reached out and grabbed Zijin's wrist. He stood in front of her with his tall body. He looked at Qiao Shiyun and said: "...Since she said so, you just agree."
Qiao Shiyun, "…………"
When Qiao Jinglian saw that her father's face was not good-looking, and there was a bit of gloom between his brows, the first thing he thought of was that he was worried that Zijin could not take care of an elder who had gone crazy, so he pinched Zijin's face.
He looked over his shoulder, looked at Zijin condescendingly, and said: "Okay, if you are afraid that she can't take care of her alone, I will take care of her. After all, she is also my father-in-law."
"Now you remember that he is your father-in-law. It seems that you have not visited him much in the past five years." Qiao Shiyun sneered coldly.
"…………"
Zijin reached out and waved away Qiao Jinglian's hand on her shoulder. She rolled out of bed and stood in front of Qiao Shiyun, "...Dad, I just have one request, and I hope you can fulfill it."
"This matter is not something I alone can have the final say on."
Qiao Shiyun coughed slightly, and seemed to weigh it in his mind before speaking slowly, "Although the hospital belongs to our Qiao family, the doctors inside are not mine. They are all licensed and do medicine."
These things are beyond our control, Zijin, dad hopes you can understand my difficulties, of course you are so filial, I will definitely help you."
Zi Jin was overjoyed, and Qiao Shiyun said again: "...Well, you and Jing Lian first make this fifth anniversary a little more enjoyable. Although you made such news before, I have already taken care of it.
Yes, there will be many reporters present tonight, and their questions will not be too sharp. Jinglian was very shameless before. How should you answer the reporters' questions tonight? You don't need to worry about it. Jinglian herself
He knows it well, you just need to cooperate with him."
Zi Jin pursed his lips and said nothing, knowing that he could not refuse, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Qiao Shiyun probably saw that she was reluctant, and said: "Zijin, Qiao's family has had a great negative impact due to previous news reports. Tonight's 5th anniversary, you must cooperate well and let the world feel that,
You are a loving couple. As long as this matter is settled, I will help you find a solution for your father's affairs."
Zijin's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth almost subconsciously, "...Really? Dad, did you promise me?"
"I promise you, but I'm not sure whether it will succeed or not. I will try my best."
Zijin thought, Qiao Shiyun had already said this, which proved that it was basically no longer a problem. When she thought that she could live with her father and take care of him in the future, a big stone hung in her heart.
Finally, he let go a little and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Dad, I promise you."
Qiao Jinglian, "…………"
Although the woman next to him agreed to attend the fifth wedding anniversary, the smell in his heart was as if the wound she had cruelly opened before was suddenly stained with a few drops of salt water, burning.
Uncomfortable.
To get her to attend, she would have to make such a deal with the old man.
This was undoubtedly a naked reminder to him that his marriage to her was a transaction from beginning to end, and Shen Dongming was the most critical person.
…………
It was indeed a transaction. He had never cared about a transaction before, but now, when he thought about it, he felt so uncomfortable.
※※※※※
8pm.
Century Hotel in City C.
Qiao's status in City C is quite prominent. Qiao Shiyun has already decided to celebrate the fifth anniversary this time, just in time to catch up with so many things that have happened before. Now it seems that even if it is a little
It's suspected of being a show, but the affairs of wealthy and aristocratic families are also done for outsiders to see.
As long as you do a good job in this show, others will naturally spread the word well.
…………
In the hotel room, Zijin had already dressed up. Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror. For a moment, she felt really strange.
"A person depends on his clothes" is really not true at all. Zijin's facial features are relatively delicate. At first glance, they don't look amazing, but the more you look at them, the more interesting they become, especially his gestures.
She exudes a very unique charm, and now, after being carefully dressed up by the designers and makeup artists specially invited by the Qiao family, she can already be labeled as "stunning".
Bai Xi's skin was now even more delicate and smooth, and her clear eyes were outlined to reveal a bit of charm. She was already wearing long red skirts. The design was very simple, but still majestic. Her upper body
It is close to the skin. Zijin's breast shape is very beautiful. This close-fitting design will make her breasts more plump and attractive. The back of the skirt is designed to be backless, with an upside-down triangle shape.
, the hem of the skirt hangs down to the top of the instep. She has white skin. Wearing such a set of red long skirts on her body, she can control the taste, which is mature, charming, and sexy, and at the same time, it reveals the uniqueness of Shen Zijin.
That shy taste is vivid and vivid.
"Ms. Qiao, please wear these shoes."
The designer's assistant brought over the prepared pair of high-heeled shoes. They were black and of simple design. However, the shoes were inlaid with many diamonds, which were sparkling and sparkling. It looked like they were worth a lot of money.
Zijin doesn't usually wear high heels for much time. When he saw these shoes, he wished they were seven inches high, and he suddenly felt a little frightened.
"...Is there anything else?"
"No, just these pairs."
As soon as Zi Jin opened his mouth, Qiao Jinglian's voice intervened. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and saw a man in formal attire standing in front of her.
Qiao Jinglian is one of those dandy young men with outstanding looks. In fact, no matter what he wears, it can bring out his romantic and unrestrained taste. However, today he wore an orthodox black suit with a white shirt underneath.
, but he seems a lot more stable and mature.
Zijin looked away from his face without emotion. Qiao Jinglian looked at her, but her eyes were a little straight.
He never knew that the most beautiful woman had always been by his side. She could be so charming that he couldn't take his eyes away once he saw her. There was a feeling that was ready to move in his body.
With.
…………
"Young Master Lian, Young Mistress, it's about to start outside."
Someone came in, stood at the door and knocked on the door, reminding the two of them.
Qiao Jinglian coughed slightly and said "I know". She turned to one side and saw Zijin putting on her shoes. He couldn't help but walked over and wanted to help her. Zijin happened to put on two shoes and felt the lightness of the man's big palm.
It landed lightly on her waist. She felt uncomfortable all over and subconsciously stood to the side, "...what are you doing?"
"…………"
There were two designers and an assistant standing next to him. Hearing Zijin's unfamiliar and indifferent words, he felt a little embarrassed.
Qiao Jinglian's expression was naturally not good, but he refrained from losing his temper. He just kept a cold face and asked the others to leave the room quickly. Then he said to Zijin in a deep voice: "...I told you that today is our day.
It’s our wedding anniversary, can’t you change your attitude a little bit?”
Zijin, "…………"
There was clearly a sentence stuck in her throat, but when she heard Qiao Jinglian's tone just now, she didn't know why, but she always felt that this young master who used to be so arrogant and arrogant in front of her now spoke to her with a certain tone.
Uncoverable humility and prayer.
She was not a cold-blooded animal, but she was unable to respond to what he wanted, so she could only look away stiffly.
"...You should know that I don't really want to attend such a boring anniversary, and you also know that the reason why I will attend is because of my father..."
"Enough!"
Qiao Jinglian suddenly stepped forward, reached out and pressed Zijin's shoulders, gritted her teeth and growled, "If you don't like to hear it, shut up from this second on!"
"…………"
"I know that because of my relationship, you were inexplicably put under house arrest for 2 days. But Zijin, if I tell you, such house arrest resulted in you now showing affection with me in front of everyone,
I actually don’t regret it at all.”
"Qiao Jinglian, you..."
"From now on, when we walk out of this room, there will be countless people outside watching us show our affection. Wife, you have to call me husband."
"…………"
Qiao Jinglian reached out and grabbed Zijin's wrist, forcefully interlocking her soft little hand with her big palm. Zijin's face turned green with anger. She had been struggling and refused to cooperate. Qiao Jinglian simply reached out and provoked her.
Her lower jaw and evil handsome face were a little closer to her, and she narrowed her eyes, "...Why are you trying to be tough on me now? Are you still planning to back down?"
"Good boy, hold hands with me. Now that we've come this far, let's finish this scene. Don't forget, if we really mess up, your father's affairs will definitely be in trouble."
With that last sentence, Zijin finally made a compromise.
What else is she awkward about now? She has already agreed before, and now everything is ready, but just holding hands with him... Even though she is uneasy in her heart, because there has been no news from Gu Yanshen in the past two days,
She didn't know where he had gone, and her mobile phone was out of battery and she couldn't contact anyone... But no matter what, she told herself to finish this matter first, and then she would find a way to explain it to Gu Yanshen.
Well, he is not an unreasonable person, she thought, this matter should be made clear.
Zi Jin slowly took two deep breaths, and finally cooperated with Qiao Jinglian, but he did not choose to interlock with him, but reluctantly held his arm and prepared to go out.
"...These shoes are very suitable for you. They are very beautiful. You can hold my arm all the time and I won't let you fall." Before going out, Qiao Jinglian took the opportunity to place her ear against her cochlea and spoke in a low voice with an ambiguous warmth.
Said this sentence.
Zi Jin's body froze, and before he could recover, he had already kept a good distance from her, pulled her reluctantly out of the room.
…………
There is indeed a different scene outside. Probably the entire upper class of City C is gathered together.
This so-called "anniversary" was originally an opportunity for these celebrities to "communicate" with each other. It was Zijin's first time to participate, and the protagonist was herself. When Qiao Jinglian took her to the banquet hall, she felt restless.
Comfortable.
She always kept a stiff smile on her face, and the high heels on her feet were killing her. She could manage them at first, but after standing there for less than 10 minutes, she became too much.
Qiao Jinglian, on the other hand, was able to move among the crowd with ease. Many people came up to toast and chat, but Qiao Jinglian was able to maintain a certain demeanor, drink and respond.
Of course, Zijin would inevitably have a few drinks during this period. In fact, her drinking capacity was not very good, but she couldn't refuse. After drinking two drinks, she felt even more tired and dizzy. Later, she really couldn't stand anymore.
She finally couldn't help but approached Qiao Jinglian and asked in a low voice: "...I'm very tired and need to take a rest."
"Lean on me."
Qiao Jinglian stretched out her hand and gently squeezed her palm. The two of them were originally the protagonists of the evening. After dressing up, they stood in such a hall. Every gesture and gesture was noticed by someone, so when Qiao Jinglian came over,
Zijin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She always felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously at this time. She turned her face away slightly, and among her beautiful eyebrows, she was stained with something familiar to Qiao Jinglian.
disgust--
Disgust with oneself.
His heart, which had just warmed up a little, suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and an unstoppable anger rose up.
Is he so annoying to her?
She behaves like a smelly piece of garbage all the time. If anyone comes closer to her, she will avoid it...
Qiao Jinglian's breathing gradually became heavier. He had been drinking, which made his negative emotions even stronger. He suddenly stretched out his hand, directly around the back of Zijin's neck, and hugged her whole body into his arms.
Their bodies were immediately pressed closely together, and the man's hot breath, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, hit his face——
"...What are you hiding from? Aren't we supposed to be more affectionate? What about your behavior? Don't you want your father to come out?"
Zi Jin stared at Qiao Jinglian angrily with his big dark eyes, his red lips pursed and he said nothing.
Qiao Jinglian smiled, and his rough fingers slowly touched her cheek. He curled his thin lips and moved a little closer to Zijin, "...you have to persevere even if you are tired. There will be a few more in a while."
If reporters want to come over, the show must be done to the full audience, you know?"
"...Also, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid I really can't help it and want to..."
Before Qiao Jinglian finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the hotel's banquet hall. He thought it was an arranged reporter coming in, but unexpectedly, someone on the side suddenly exclaimed, "...is Gu Yanshen coming outside?
?”
Zijin's heart thumped, and almost subconsciously, he pushed Qiao Jinglian away with his hands.
Qiao Jinglian was a little dazed at this moment. Without paying attention, she was pushed away by Zi Jin. He was unsteady and staggered. Fortunately, at this time, everyone focused on the door of the banquet hall, and no one noticed them.
abnormal.
"...It's really Gu Yanshen! Why is he here?" The female voice beside her was very excited.
"...Isn't this so strange? He is now the president of Qiao's. On days like this, he will naturally show up."
"…………"
Zi Jin's heart was in his throat, and in his chaotic head, there was only one thought - Gu Yanshen is here. He lost contact with her for 2 days and 2 nights, and here he is...
She turned around and saw that a lot of people had gathered at the door of the banquet hall. In such a noisy environment, Zijin could hear clearly - the steady footsteps, one after another, were particularly clear.
Her eyes were filled with joy as she looked at the slender male body, which came into view as if it were falling from the sky, as if it was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, yet it seemed that it was within reach.
Zi Jin's throat felt sore, he held his skirt with his little hands, and his breathing was a little short.
Only she herself knew what she was thinking at this moment. This sour taste in her heart was constantly fermenting, reminding her of an unmitigated fact - the two days of house arrest 2
At night, she missed him so much...
