That night, Qiao Si left Qiao Che's villa with Rachel and stayed at a hotel in city T. The next day, she took Rachel back to Paris.
Pa's mother never saw the slightest emotion on her calm face, so she kept asking her about the result of going to T City to meet him...
At that moment, she took a deep breath and answered her mother with a smile, "He and I will never meet again."
The mother was stunned on the spot and fell into self-blame for a long time.
She comforted her mother and told her that she would be stronger in the future.
…
Her strength was ultimately no match for his cruelty.
After his lawyer withdrew, the lawyer she hired hurriedly took over the lawsuit, but still had no idea how to win the lawsuit.
He did not ask his lawyer to leave a word-for-word message to the lawyer she hired, as if he was happy to see her become the loser in this lawsuit.
For the time being, she had no time to worry about winning or losing the lawsuit, because the most important thing at the moment was ensuring the safety of her and Rachel.
She stayed behind closed doors, but she was still worried that Robinson and others would be waiting around...
She has always been a pampered young lady. She doesn't know how to protect and respond when she encounters danger. Therefore, before she can learn to deal with these, she must ask for help...
Father, brother...
The two people she was closest to and cared about the most in the world were completely far away from her world, and she was helpless. The only person she could turn to for help was the happy woman who had called and cared about her.
As soon as I called, the person on the other end answered immediately...
She could vaguely hear the happy family on the other end of the phone...
"Hey, Qiao Si." The happy woman's voice also revealed happiness.
She was a little embarrassed because she had never been in such a desperate state to beg someone, not to mention that she had hated this happy woman so much.
"Miss Qu."
"Why are you alienated from me again? I told you to call me Ranran..."
"Ran...Ran."
"Well...you called me suddenly, is there something wrong?"
It was quiet on the other end, and she knew that the happy woman must have gone to a place where no one was around to answer her call.
She nodded and said slowly, "Can I...please do me a favor?"
"Of course, you say."
"You should have heard about the recent lawsuit I have been facing at home... My uncle and my aunt are eyeing my family's property. In order to force me to hand over the property, they did not hesitate to send people to harm me and Rachel. A few days ago, my uncle sent people
I almost captured Rachel, and I'm very worried, so I want to ask you to tell Guan Hao, can you ask him to send some people to me? I feel very uneasy, I'm afraid they will come back to hurt Rachel."
The happy woman was stunned when she heard this, "Why, isn't Qiao Che by your side?"
Not wanting to lose her last bit of self-esteem, she deceived the happy woman and said, "I didn't go to him."
"But he should be able to help you handle the lawsuit!"
"Why did you say that?" Qiao Si didn't understand.
"Because I..."
The happy woman suddenly paused and changed her words, "It's nothing, I guessed it."
Joss was already sensitively aware and asked, "Have you called him?"
The happy woman hesitated, "I...I had a fight a few days ago."
"when?"
"I don't remember..."
"Is it noon on the 6th?"
The happy woman was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "It seems to be around this time in City T..."
After hearing this, Qiao Si fell into a daze for a long time.
Her eyes became slightly moist. She tried her best to keep her eyes wide open to prevent tears from gathering in her eyes, and finally smiled foolishly.
She is so stupid...
So stupid...
She should have thought that she, who had ignored him for half a year, would feel the least bit distressed after seeing her soaked in the rain...
It turned out that he received a call from Happy Woman, who must have asked him to help her, and he later turned back to find her...
She is really the stupidest and stupidest person in the world...
When she was sixteen, she already knew that he had never cared about her, but eight years later, she was still yearning for it...
It was because she was too stupid that she humiliated herself.
"Qiao Si, Qiao Si..." the happy woman kept calling her on the other end.
She finally came back to her senses, her eyes filled with tears, but she smiled to herself, "Huh?"
"You...how are you and Qiao Che doing?"
The happy woman is indeed a flawless woman, no wonder she can become the person he will never forget in his heart.
Even to her former "love rival", she is always willing to extend a hand of mercy.
She is ashamed of her kindness and generosity.
"Jossie..."
"Uh, I...I will no longer have contact with him."
The happy woman was shocked, "Why?"
"Because we don't need to contact each other anymore... He and I had agreed to live separately half a year ago."
"I know, but how could Qiao Che leave you alone in France? He..."
"Ran Ran..." she interrupted the happy woman, "I don't like him."
"What?"
Not wanting the happy woman to bother that person anymore about her affairs, she lied, "To be honest, I'm thinking about going on a blind date recently."
"How could..."
She smiled lightly and replied, "I gave birth to Rachel not because I liked him, but because I couldn't let go of this little life... As a woman, you should be able to understand how I felt at that time. I didn't do it because I wanted to be with my brother."
Together."
The happy woman was stunned on the other end of the phone.
"Thank you for your concern for me over the past two years, and for the kind words you said to me in front of my brother... From the bottom of my heart, I am really grateful to you."
"You...you really don't like Qiao Che?" The happy woman couldn't believe it.
"Um."
"Then..." The happy woman didn't know what to say.
She resolved the embarrassment, "I know you want me to be happy... Don't worry, I will."
"Okay...I'll let Guan Hao help you handle what you just said."
"Thanks."
"By the way, do you need our help with your lawsuit?"
"No, if you ask Guan Hao to help me, that's the best help you can give me. Thank you." She didn't dare to ask others to give her more help, because why should she get their help?
If she were not a happy woman, she would have been forgotten by everyone long ago...
She is not from their world at all, so asking Happy Woman to help protect Rachel is a tough decision.
The happy woman thought that Qiao Si had won the last lawsuit very well, so she didn't worry too much about Qiao Si and said, "Well...be careful lately."
"Um."
…
After finishing the conversation with Qu Ranran, Pa’s mother walked over from the side.
Pa’s mother asked, “Miss Qu, did you agree?”
She nodded.
"The lawsuit..."
"I didn't ask her to help with this."
Pa's mother was worried, "But the lawsuit will be fought in the next two days. This is the last trial. If we lose..." Pa's mother did not dare to continue thinking.
Qiao Si got up from the sofa and calmly said to her mother, "Even if I ask Ran Ran for help now, it's already too late... The lawsuit will be filed this week, and even if Ran Ran hires a lawyer to help me, there's nothing she can do about it.
She grasped the key points and won the case for me, and even if she could really help me, I couldn’t trouble her..."
"Why?"
Qiao Si gently held her mother's shoulders, "Because I have no relationship with her, her concern for me is because of Qiao Che. Now that I have nothing to do with Qiao Che, how can I ask her to help me win it?"
property?"
"But……"
Qiao Si smiled at her mother, "The problems I will encounter in the future may be worse than this. I can't always ask for help..."
Mom nodded.
Qiao Si said firmly, "In the future, I can only rely on myself."
Pa's mom was persuaded by Qiao Si, "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, Pa's mom will support you."
Qiao Si spit out playfully, "Then if I lose this lawsuit in the end and have nothing, are you still going to follow me?"
"certainly."
Qiao Si closed her eyes and reached out to hug her mother, "I'm not helpless, at least I still have you."
With the protection of the people sent by Guan Hao, Qiao Si has indeed been much quieter these two days.
I wonder if Robinson already knew that Qiao Che had withdrawn his lawyer, so he didn't mention the relationship between Qiao Che and her again...
After going through some things, Qiao Si seems to be more calm and calm than before.
However, people's character should change, but things in reality cannot be changed at will...
The final court hearing of the inheritance case has finally arrived...
Before going, Qiao Si had already thought about many outcomes, so she was mentally prepared for even the worst outcome.
In court, Robinson demanded that Joss hand over all the Qiao family's property on the grounds that she was a woman and did not meet the hereditary rights of the Qiao family...
Of course, Joss's lawyer had a verbal argument with Robinson in court, but Joss was ultimately the one in the wrong, because she did not have real inheritance rights, and the inheritance rights belonged to Qiao Che.
Only Qiao Che has the direct inheritance rights of the Qiao family. If he accepts the Qiao family's property, not even Robinson can have any objections.
Robinson seemed to have expected that Qiao Che would not care about the Qiao family's property, and asked the judge to award the property to him in accordance with the Qiao family's hereditary system.
Naturally, the judge could not judge so easily, so the judge asked to summon Qiao Che.
If Qiao Che can show up at the trial and claim to inherit the Qiao family's property, then Robinson will only lose the case.
But when the trial entered a heated stage, Qiao Che still did not show up...
Qiao Si naturally knew that Qiao Che would not show up, because with the market value of the "qcs" company owned by Qiao Che behind the scenes, the Qiao family's property was nothing, not to mention that he had not stayed in the Qiao family for this property.
…
Robinson's face was already smiling, and he eagerly waited for the judge to pronounce the verdict.
After waiting for Qiao Che for a long time but still not waiting for Qiao Che, the judge finally raised the solemn legal hammer...
However, no one would have thought, and it was beyond Qiao Si's expectation that Qiao Che would appear in the court at the moment when the judge was about to pronounce the verdict...
Qiao Che's appearance surprised everyone...
You know, in the eyes of outsiders, Qiao Che is just a doctor who has no intention of taking care of the family business and abandoned business to pursue literature. He has never thought about inheriting the family business, and he has been absent from many court hearings.
, his appearance at this moment really shocked many relatives who had been coveting the Qiao family's property...
The fat in his mouth flew away again, and Robinson naturally became angry. In a fit of anger, he presented new evidence-Qiao Che was not from the Qiao family.
To deal with people like Robinson, if the trial did not require personal appearance, Qiao Che would not have to appear at all, because all the evidence submitted by Robinson were overturned by the lawyers who followed Qiao Che to the court...
In the end, Robinson lost the lawsuit, and the Qiao family's property was finally awarded to Qiao Che according to the Qiao family's hereditary system.
…
When she came out of the court, Qiao Si was squeezed into Qiao Che's side by the many media present...
In the eyes of outsiders, Qiao Che and her were siblings. After they won the case, they should naturally be interviewed together...
It's a pity that neither she nor Qiao Che said a word, or even smiled. They walked out of the court directly...
I don't know if he was afraid that the media would write about it, but after they walked out of the court, he pulled her into a car parked on the side of the road.
The driver is Tang Kai.
The departure of her knowledge gave Tang Kai the opportunity to continue to stay by his side.
The car gradually drove out of everyone's sight while being chased by many media...
In the carriage, it was incredibly quiet.
He still held her wrist.
She felt a little pain, so she pulled his hand away and slowly pulled away from his hand.
He stared straight ahead without saying a word, his face showing a coldness and indifference that rarely appeared in front of the world.
She asked, "Where are you taking me?"
He said calmly, "Stop the car."
Tang Kai did not dare to disobey any more orders, so he immediately braked and parked the car on the side of the road.
This is a not-so-busy street with not many cars around, which makes the atmosphere in the car even quieter.
"Go down." He said coldly.
She was stunned for a moment, and then got out of the car with her bag.
Before she could stand still, the car was already speeding away behind her.
She froze on the spot and lost her mind for a long time.
…
After finally getting a taxi back home, she didn't expect to meet Tang Kai at the door.
She instinctively looked inside the villa, only to find that the only person coming was Tang Kai.
She had always wanted to apologize to Tang Kai for hurting Tang Kai last time. This time she finally had the chance, "Tang Special Assistant, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you last time."
Tang Kai shook his head, as gentle as ever, "It's none of your business. I took it upon myself to harm you."
She smiled at him and said, "I never thought he would come."
Tang Kai said, "The boss is a measured person. No matter what, he will never let the Qiao family's property be taken away by a despicable person like Robinson."
She nodded.
Tang Kai suddenly said, "Miss Qiao Si, the boss will stay here for a few days."
"Ah?" Joss was stunned for a moment, "You said he wants to live here?"
"Yes, there are some issues in the French branch that the boss needs to handle personally, so..." Tang Kai's voice began to sound awkward, "Miss Qiao Si, you know the attitude of the boss. I'm afraid he won't be willing to see you here...
…”
Qiao Si said seriously, "This is my home."
"But when the court pronounces the verdict, 70% of the family's property belongs to the boss..."
"I understand." Qiao Si nodded and said calmly to Tang, "I can take Rachel to a hotel to stay for a few days."
Tang Kai lowered his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao Si, I couldn't help you..."
Qiao Si smiled slightly, "Don't say that, you have already helped me a lot... I will pack my things and go to the hotel to stay before he comes."
Tang Kaidao said, "The property case is over. Even if Robinson wants to make a comeback, he has no chance. Therefore, you don't have to be afraid anymore. Robinson will not mess around again. Besides, the boss has sent someone to ask me to warn him."
"Okay, thank you."
"fine."
ps: The second male lead will appear soon, so stay tuned. I hope to make Qiao Si into an indifferent heroine in the following chapters.
