"I'm not here to talk to you about Qiao's problem. I'm here today just to ask you - where did you take Shen Dongming?"
Qiao Jinglian's tone was sharp and her eyes were dangerous, but the expression on Qiao Shiyun's face was equally calm. He had some abilities in his own son, and Qiao Shiyun always thought that he knew everything clearly.
"You and Zijin have been married for more than five years, and this is the first time you have asked Shen Dongming so seriously in front of me. What's wrong? Now that you and Zijin are divorced, you are concerned about your ex-father-in-law?
Don’t you think it’s a little late?”
"I really care about him, it doesn't matter sooner or later."
Qiao Jinglian stretched out her legs and kicked the stool beside her. The four wheels underneath quickly slid, and the chair was moved a little. He spread his hands and propped them on the executive desk, with sharp eyebrows, "What about you?"
If I remember correctly or have no memory loss - 5 years ago, the reason why you asked Shen Zijin to marry me was for her father. At that time, his father suddenly went insane and you did not hesitate to pay a high price.
, bought the land of the hospital where he lives now, hired the best doctors, and stabilized his condition. Although it is a hospital, it is just your private territory. There are not many patients in it, but the medical team is very good. It’s just that
It's strange that such a good medical team can't let a patient who has been suddenly insane for five years show any signs of recovery."
"so what?"
Qiao Shiyun didn't look panicked at all, he remained very calm, "Are you curious now, or questioning me? Do you think I have ulterior motives? Or, do you think I made him crazy five years ago and locked him up for five years?
When did you become so concerned about Shen Dongming's situation? When Shen Zijin was still your wife, you didn't know what fighting meant. Now that you have signed the divorce, you care about the people around her, my son, Qiao Shiyun,
When will you do something as an afterthought? Jinglian, can't you do something that satisfies me?"
"It's not that I can't satisfy you, it's because you and I have never been on the same level. I really can't do what you want!"
Qiao Jinglian looked at her father with deep eyes, but also revealed a bit of loss that was difficult to conceal. There were some words that he seemed to want to clarify with him, but he always kept going back and forth, "But I don't want to be with you now."
Discussing what we should and should not do in life, now I want to know where is Shen Dongming?"
"Do you really want to know that much?"
"Yes. If you don't tell me, you know I can investigate on my own. I know you are powerful, but if I really want to know where he is, it shouldn't be difficult."
Qiao Shiyun nodded, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "My sons have really grown up. Each one of them has learned how to disobey me, because a woman named Shen Zijin is obsessed with me.
I can't control it, but you, Qiao Jinglian, you are the person I have brought up since childhood, and you are also such a fool."
"Don't play this kind of family card to me. Do you think we, the Qiao family, still have any family ties? Our home is still a home. It is full of holes. You are the only one who has been looking for neglect, right? I won't ask you,
I don’t even ask you where my mother is, or where you took Tingting, but I’m asking you now, where is Shen Dongming?!”
"He is mentally disturbed. Now he often hurts people, and also hurts others very seriously. I sent him directly to Qingshan."
Qiao Shiyun spoke slowly and in an understatement, "After you and Shen Zijin divorced, the affairs of their Shen family will no longer have anything to do with our Qiao family. Of course, I have no ability to protect him anymore. Since they
Everyone thinks that I will always harm Shen Dongming, so it should be a good choice for me to send him directly to Qingshan. There are authoritative people there who can detect whether he is really insane. If he is really not insane, he can still
Come out."
Qiao Jinglian couldn't believe it, "——You sent people to Qingshan?"
"...You, dad, are you crazy? Once you go into that place, can you come out again? Since you want to send him to Qingshan, why did you go to such trouble to get Shen Zijin to marry me? 5 years
Now, can't you let him live?"
Qiao Shiyun suddenly reached out and threw the folder at hand with a snap. Qiao Jinglian instinctively dodged, so the folder didn't hit his cheek and fell to the ground with a solid sound, which was very harsh. "I can't
Let people live? I haven't let them live yet?! Hey, Jinglian, you just divorced Shen Zijin, but you let her come to my place to run wild?! I always thought she was a good girl, but now
Come to think of it, I saw the wrong person!"
"…………"
"If I really didn't plan to give them a way out, do you think they would still be here today? Let me tell you, Jinglian, don't follow Gu Yanshen's example. I will pretend that I never gave birth to that son. He dares to help me with the project.
I will never let him have such a comfortable life, and you - starting from tomorrow, you come back to work at Qiao's! Everyone and everything in the Shen family has nothing to do with you. If
Let me know again that if you listen to the wind like this, you will be like the rain——"
He pointed at Qiao Jinglian, his face distorted, "Do you think I will allow you to be so presumptuous again? If you want a divorce, I won't stop you. If you are divorced now, you are no longer a member of our Qiao family.
You take good care of the Qiao family's affairs and Qiao's affairs, and I will still be your father!"
"go out!"
Qiao Shijun moved his fingertips away from Qiao Jinglian's face and aimed at the office door.
His chest was rising and falling rapidly. Qiao Jinglian frowned and looked at her father in front of her, whose face was a little distorted by the excitement. He pursed his thin lips tightly and did not choose to refute anything.
In fact, a father understands his son, but a son doesn’t understand his father?
Qiao Jinglian knew very well what kind of person Qiao Shijun was. At this time, she was afraid that no matter how much she said, it would only make him target Zijin even more, not to mention the things Gu Yanshen said...
He wasn't sure yet, and even if he had doubts in his heart, he told himself that he needed evidence.
A person who has been dead for 5 years is suddenly said to be alive, and a person who has been crazy for 5 years suddenly becomes sane?
…………
No, he felt that he couldn't trust anyone. He couldn't be so impulsive and came to question Qiao Shiyun. What if it wasn't true? What he was doing was so stupid, but if it was true... what he was doing seemed wrong.
of.
Qiao Jinglian squeezed her hands on her sides, lowered her eyes, and her eyes flickered in the depths of her pupils, with a bit of tangled pain that only he knew best.
His clenched hands loosened, tightened and loosened again. After a while, he seemed to have stabilized his emotions and finally jumped out of this problem.
He did not go out, but slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Shiyun, "——If you don't want me to ask more questions about the Shen family, I won't ask. Anyway, Shen Zijin and I have divorced. So.
, I am qualified to ask about my mother, right? Where is she now? "
"She is not your mother."
Qiao Shiyun snorted coldly, with a tone of contempt and deep disgust, "You don't have a shameless mother, and Tingting, I will not allow you to mention these two women in front of me in the future!"
"I know that my mother's usual behavior is indeed inappropriate. I admit it, but didn't you choose this wife yourself? Didn't you abandon that Gu Huimin and choose to be with my mother? Don't you admit it?
She is my mother? But I can't deny it! No matter what she is, she has never done anything to hurt me. No matter what, she is still the mother who gave birth to me in October. What is the relationship between you and her?
So, I don’t want to ask a question, I just want to say one thing to you - karma and retribution are all cyclical, and even a slap in the face can’t make her reach this point. Don’t say that you have no responsibility at all.”
When Qiao Shiyun mentioned the woman Li Muhua, he would only feel disgusted, but she was the mother of his son. Just like these words Qiao Jinglian said, he felt that his son seemed to have really grown up and matured.
But deep down in his heart, there is still a devil, loudly telling him - this is the only person you can catch.
Qiao Jinglian, he is your son. If you can't catch Gu Yanshen, then you have to catch Qiao Jinglian!
So, how could his son accept as a mother a slutty woman who can be married to anyone? If it weren't for Jinglian's existence, would that woman still deserve to live in this world?
He has given her the best opportunity, so from now on, he will never let Jinglian miss her even a little bit.
That kind of shameful woman would not regret dying!
"I don't know where your mother is, but if you want to see her, I can help you contact her. After the accident, she probably felt that she had no face to see others, so she hid."
Qiao Jinglian didn't seem to believe what Qiao Shiyun said, "You really don't know where she is?"
"Should I know?"
"...Okay, if you really don't know, I will look for her myself. City C is not very big, so it won't be much difficult to find her."
After Qiao Jinglian finished speaking, she turned to leave. As soon as she reached the door, he suddenly thought of something again. He paused and said slowly: "...I know, Tingting, she is not your biological daughter. I know a man."
You won't be able to bear it if you encounter something like this, but she is innocent and I hope you won't hurt her."
"…………"
"Please let Tingting and my mother go. I will listen to you and come back to work."
Sometimes, a man's growth does not happen overnight, but in such a short moment, when he realizes how much he needs strength and courage.

Gu Yanshen took a call while driving the car. After hanging up the phone, he looked ugly and chose to stop the car on the roadside with sparse traffic.
Zijin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly became nervous. She grabbed Gu Yanshen's hand that was still holding the steering wheel and asked: "...What's wrong? Why did you stop? You were driving..."
