The eyes are fighting, obviously thrilling, but there is no trace of the hidden depth in the other party's dark eyes.
At this time, because the cars on both sides were parked in the middle of the road, the cars behind them started honking their horns violently.
Tang Kai and Roye revved their engines at the same time, and the two cars drove forward, and finally passed each other.
When the car was driving smoothly on the road, Tang Kai couldn't help but ask, "Boss, Mr. Guan is actually in City T, so..."
Qiao Che said coldly, "Go to prison first."
"yes."
…
Suburban women's prison.
Qiao Che sat quietly on the chair, his face cold.
The prison guard helped a middle-aged woman who looked haggard and thin to sit in front of Qiao Che.
The leaves are flowing purple.
After the prison guard walked aside, Ye Liuzi said anxiously, "How could you come to see me like this? Guan Hao will find out about our relationship. You can ask Tang Kai to come."
Qiao Che looked at the old woman's originally well-maintained and graceful face. In just over half a year, it had become so haggard that she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He felt distressed and said, "I once reminded you not to be impulsive, but you never listened.
In the end, you will have to endure this hardship."
Ye Liuzi said angrily, "You don't know how much I hate you in my heart, I can't wait any longer!!"
"Mom, although you adopted me from an orphanage, I have seen the hardships you have endured since I was a child, and I feel the same grievances you have endured. I have told you more than once, do you want
I will definitely help you realize your wishes, and I will also ask them to return everything that others owe you. This is how I repay the kindness of raising you!"
"Arche, Mom knows that she made a very wrong decision by not listening to your advice and dealing with Guan Hao on her own, but she doesn't regret it, because as long as she wins, the Guan family will be done with it, and Gu Qingruo, that bastard, won't be able to live a peaceful life.
In the second half of my life, my mother just never thought about it. She has been shrewd all her life, but she still can't scheme against Guan Hao... But in prison, my mother is not afraid at all. She knows that she still has you!!" Ye Liuzi looked at Qiao Che longingly.
.
Qiao Che stood up coldly at this moment.
Seeing Qiao Che about to leave, Ye Liuzi hurriedly asked, "How is your progress?"
"What you should worry about is yourself!" Qiao Che said coldly with his back to Ye Liuzi.
"If it's not just an interrogation, at most it will be that the police have obtained some new evidence and will be sentenced to another three to five years. What should I be afraid of? When you solve Guan Hao, it will be the day when I am released from prison!" Ye Liuzi had no idea.
Afraid of spitting out.
"Do you really think Guan Hao came to T City in person just to get you another three to five years in prison?"
"Guan Hao came to T City?" Ye Liuzi frowned in confusion, "I saw the newspaper. The newspaper said that Guan Hao had moved the first branch of 'Haotian' to France. Why did he come to T City? Is it possible?
Is he disconnected from Qu Ran Ran Ou?"
"It has nothing to do with Qu Ranran!"
"Then what is he doing?"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if your sentence after being arraigned was not to be added to the original three to five years, but to be ten years?"
"Ten years' sentence plus ten years, that is, twenty years. To me, it is just a change in numbers. When you win against Guan Hao, you will naturally have a way to get me out."
"I'm afraid that even if I win against Guan Hao, I won't be able to help you."
Ye Liuzi opened his eyes wide in horror when he heard this, "You...what do you mean by that?"
"After being sentenced to twenty years in prison, you will be transferred to a severe punishment prison. In a severe punishment prison, even if I want to help you 'reverse the case' in the future, it will take three to five years just to go through the procedures.
, this means that you will have to stay in prison for at least another three to five years!"
Ye Liuzi immediately turned pale and shook his head vigorously, "No, I don't want to stay in this prison for another three to five years, I don't want... Archer, you have to help me find a way, you must help me find a way..."
-------------------------------------------------
One week later.
At night, Tang Kai hurriedly walked into a luxurious villa.
In the villa, Qiao Che sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at a stack of letters in his hand.
Tang Kai called "Boss", interrupting Qiao Che's thoughts.
Qiao Che came to his senses and asked, "How?"
Tang Kai reported, "The court has set the time for Madam's arraignment, which will be at the beginning of next month."
"Um."
"I have inquired secretly. The new evidence received by the court this time is sufficient. Professional lawyers have analyzed it. I am afraid that my wife will be sentenced to an additional ten years in prison."
"I know."
"I think we don't need to investigate why Mr. Guan is not in New York now. He obviously came to City T to confront you head-on."
Qiao Che slightly narrowed his deep eyes and said calmly, "Obviously, like me, he has no patience to continue playing like this... Since you want to play openly, let's do it openly!"
"What about Madam?"
"She will be fine. You can give her a message now."
Tang Kai asked confused, "Boss, since Madam will be fine, why didn't you tell Madam when you went to see her that day? I believe Madam has been worried these days."
Qiao Che said coldly, "I want to let her know that crises are everywhere and you need to be careful in everything you do. This matter will help her weaken some of her arrogance after she is released from prison."
"I understand, Madam sometimes does things inappropriately."
"Well..." Qiao Che glanced at his subordinate, "I asked you to pick up Qu Ranran. Is she here?"
Tang Kai raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, "It's almost time."
At this moment, the servant came in from outside and reported, "Mr. Qiao, we are here."
After discussing the serious topic, Tang Kai joked, "Boss, you haven't seen me much recently, do you miss me? Tonight is a lonely man and a woman in front of the flowers and under the moon. It's a great opportunity, you have to seize it!"
"Hurry up and leave!" After saying that, a smile appeared on Qiao Che's lips.
The next second, Tang Kai disappeared without a trace.
…
"Miss Qu, please come this way."
In the darkness, the servant led Qu Ranran into the villa from the garden.
As soon as she entered the villa, Qu Ranran was stunned by the huge villa hall in front of her.
Qu Ranran is not someone who has never seen the world, and the environment she lived in was once generous. However, the villa she saw now was comparable to the villa she had lived with Guan Hao for two years.
Qu Ranran turned her head and Qiao Che was already walking towards her.
Qu Ranran smiled slightly and said, "Dr. Qiao, I didn't expect you to have such a place to live in City T."
Qiao Che didn't answer, and looked at Qu Ranran quietly.
In front of her, she has a small oval face, clear eyes, curled eyelashes, and translucent white and tender skin. She is so delicate and beautiful, paired with waterfall-like black hair, and dressed in a simple white chiffon dress.
It makes her even more elegant and refined.
He has long known that her beauty can always make people marvel and take their breath away.
Seeing Qiao Che looking at him for a moment, Qu Ranran asked with some embarrassment, "What's wrong with me? Am I not dressed properly..." Then he looked down at himself.
After recovering from his daze, Qiao Che chuckled and shook his head, "No, you are very beautiful today."
Qu Ranran's face turned slightly red, "Thank you... By the way, where are your other friends? Is the party on the second floor?"
Qiao Che shook his head quietly.
"That……"
Qiao Che stared at Qu Ranran's beautiful face and said slowly, "You are the only one I invited today."
Qu Ranran froze on the spot for an instant.
Two days ago, after Sister Chen's surgery, with Royer's help, she took Sister Chen to City T.
Sister Chen's wound has not healed yet and she still needs to be hospitalized, but it is no longer serious. So in the past two days, she went to the hospital when she had time after work. Since that hospital was not the same hospital as the hospital where Qiao Che worked, she and Qiao Che
We have hardly seen each other in the past two days. The only time we met was on the day we came back, when we happened to run into Qiao Che at home.
This afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Qiao Che, who invited her to attend his celebration banquet because he won the Gairdner Foundation International Award.
This is a medical award that few people receive, and about a quarter of those who win this award can win the highest Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Qu Ranran had never known that Qiao Che's medical attainments were so high. Although she was shocked, she was very happy for Qiao Che. After learning that Manager Chen was also invited, Qu Ranran agreed...
Unexpectedly, tonight...
"Come, dance with me."
He pulled Qu Ranran and walked straight to the middle of the hall.
In the middle of the hall is a very beautiful tassel crystal lamp. The dim yellow light shines behind Qu Ranran, creating a dreamlike scenery.
Qu Ranran had no time to react, and she and Qiao Che were already standing under the crystal lamp, with romantic music playing quietly.
A somewhat panicked Qu Ranran said hurriedly, "Doctor Qiao, I..."
Qiao Che made a "shh" gesture to Qu Ranran, and then put his hand on Qu Ranran's slender waist.
Qu Ranran was a little at a loss...
If she had known that Qiao Che had not invited anyone else to come tonight, she would never have come. She had confirmed it with Manager Chen before she came, and said that they would go home together later. Who knew... Manager Chen was helping Qiao Che?
thorough.
Feeling upset, Qu Ranran gently held Qiao Che's shoulders.
Her good cultivation made it impossible for her to refuse him at this moment, not to mention that he had helped her so much as "Dr. Qiao".
The surrounding lights dimmed slightly, and Qu Ranran's tight body was always in a passive state. The waist supported by Qiao Che seemed to be stiff, and she did not dare to move, for fear of any other contact...
…
The lights are dim, the environment is elegant, and the music creates a blurry illusion. Qu Ranran always lowers his head, not daring to look at Qiao Che...
She could feel that Qiao Che's eyes were always on her, and her heart was extremely nervous.
"Ran Ran..."
"Um?"
"Do you know why I only invited you?"
Qu Ranran shook his head.
Qiao Che slowly stopped dancing and stood with her under the dim crystal lamp. For a moment, it seemed as if a spotlight was shining on them, and they seemed to be the only ones left in the world.
Qiao Che gently held up a lock of Qu Ranran's hair, and the gentleness in his eyes was incredible. But at this very beautiful moment, Qu Ranran suddenly took a few steps back and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Doctor Qiao,
I have no choice..."
There was no way she could have any ambiguity with Qiao Che.
Qiao Che froze in place, looking at Qu Ranran's apologetic face with a hint of confusion in his deep eyes, and smiled, "You are so smart, don't you understand what I mean?"
Qu Ranran looked at Qiao Che in panic. God, did he really mean that to her?
"From the day I moved to you and became your neighbor, I looked forward to being able to stay with you every day, buy you breakfast, and solve all your worries... You went to New York on business twice.
The first time I took you to France, I actually wanted to take you to meet your parents. The second time I met you at the Palace Hotel, it was not a coincidence. I learned about you going on a business trip from Manager Chen, and I deliberately booked a hotel with you.
The room next to yours... During those days when you were in City M, I always looked forward to your return to City T as soon as possible, because without you, every day is long and boring for me..."
"Doctor Qiao, please stop talking..." Qu Ranran stopped him, walked slowly to Qiao Che, and said with great apology, "I'm sorry, I don't know the reason for your help to me all this time...
I am too stupid to create such a misunderstanding for you, but I really just regard you as my good friend, and I have never thought about other relationships."
Qiao Che seemed to have known for a long time that Qu Ranran would give him such an answer. He did not feel hurt or depressed at all. He gently held Qu Ranran's weakened shoulders and said softly, "I don't want to destroy you, my current friend."
relationship, I don’t want to force you to give me an answer today. I just want to share the joy with you today and let you know that I like you. From today on, I will officially pursue you, and you will definitely be me in the end.
woman!"
Qu Ranran lowered her head in guilt, "Dr. Qiao, I'm sorry, you know that I have always been vulnerable emotionally. I never thought about getting together with anyone else..."
Qiao Che half-squinted his eyes and looked at Qu Ranran's downcast face with dark eyes, "Do you still miss Guan Hao?"
Qu Ranran said truthfully, "I am too useless at dealing with feelings...I don't want to lie to you."
Qiao Che was silent.
Qu Ranran was afraid that she would hurt Qiao Che, so she quickly added, "Even without this reason, I wouldn't be able to be with you... Regardless of my past experience, let's take my body as an example.
No one knows better than you that it is impossible for me to get together with anyone. Your conditions are so good. As long as you are willing, there are many women in this world who are better than me for you to choose from..."
"When I asked you to come here, I thought that you would say such rejection to me, so you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to apologize to me, and you are not allowed to belittle yourself... No one has a past, and no one has a past.
People can never get over the past. I don't mind if you still have him in your heart. I don't mind your past either. Even if there is really no possibility of recovery for your body, I won't take it to heart.
What I want is you. Your simplicity, kindness, tranquility, and beauty are all what attracts me. In this life, the only thing I want to have is you..."
"But I..." Qu Ranran paused.
No, she cannot tell Qiao Che about her current relationship with Guan Hao, and her rejection of Qiao Che is not because she is now with Guan Hao.
Qu Ranran sighed, "I hope you can understand what I just said."
"Okay, that's it for tonight's topic... I don't want us to have unpleasant feelings today. You can continue to treat me as a friend from now on, and don't mind what I said to you tonight." Qiao Che shrugged easily,
Let go of Qu Ranran's shoulders that were stiff due to tension.
Qu Ranran looked at Qiao Che apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Che smiled, "You don't have to say such things to me... Since you are celebrating for me today, you don't mind having a drink with me?"
Seeing Qiao Che's relieved expression, Qu Ranran smiled slightly, relaxed his tense body slightly, and asked in a friend-like tone, "One bite?"
"certainly."
The servant appeared out of nowhere, carrying two glasses of red wine.
Qiao Che picked it up and handed a glass to Qu Ranran.
Qu Ranran took the initiative to raise a glass to Qiao Che, "I haven't congratulated you tonight...I am proud to have you as a friend." She deliberately emphasized the word "friend".
Qiao Che laughed and clinked his glasses with Qu Ranran.
Qu Ranran picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Qiao Che didn't drink, and looked at Qu Ranran with a faint smile on his face.
After Qu Ranran finished drinking, he handed the red wine to the waiter and said, "It's very late, I have to go home."
Qiao Che also put the wine glass aside and nodded, "I'll take you back."
