Episode 2 'Threads Penetrate'——If you are not careful, you will sink 5
Chapter 396
Qiao Si did not expect that when she took a taxi to the downstairs of her rented apartment, the white Maybach had already parked downstairs.
Through the windshield of the car window, she could vaguely see the cold and handsome face on the opposite car.
Taking a deep breath, she paid the fare and finally stepped out of the taxi.
Tang Kai came to her again, looking embarrassed, "Miss Qiao Si..."
Not wanting Tang Kai to be embarrassed, Qiao Si finally walked towards the white car.
After more than two months, when we met again, she was able to remain calm.
"Get in the car." He said calmly.
Qiao Si bit her lower lip, bent down and got into the car.
The interior of the carriage is spacious, but in the same space as him, the carriage feels inexplicably cramped.
She didn't look at him at all. She turned her gaze forward as soon as she got in the car, and even her peripheral vision was not allowed to linger on his stern profile.
"To move all the way from a luxurious castle villa in the suburbs to this small apartment does not seem to match your noble quality of life, Miss Joss."
After no contact for so long, the first sentence he spoke was still sarcastic.
If it were before, her heart would definitely feel very uncomfortable at this moment, but if a person's heart is already dead, he will never feel pain again.
In more than two months, she not only learned how to get a foothold in this society, but also learned how to forget and cope with it.
In his heart, she was nowhere to be found.
Why should she care.
"Just tell me your reason for coming!" Her voice was calm, and she didn't care about his sarcasm, as if she didn't care anymore.
"Why are you so indifferent to me? We are brothers and sisters, we don't need to talk like this."
"You and I are not brother and sister, we have no relationship whatsoever."
Qiao Che chuckled, "You are very eager to get away from me."
Qiao Si calmly replied, "This is also the result you want."
"Okay, very good." Qiao Che didn't show any anger. He just thought she was having a childish temper and said in a serious tone, "I'm going to attend a charity dinner tonight, and you will accompany me."
"Not going."
"You must go."
"Why?"
"Because I want to sell all the wineries owned by the Qiao family and negotiate a business deal with others, and as my sister, there is no reason why you should not support me at the banquet to negotiate this business."
"What?" Qiao Si was shocked and frowned, "You want to sell the winery?"
Qiao Che said calmly, "I own 70% of the Qiao family's equity, and I have the right to control all the Qiao family's property."
Qiao Si turned around suddenly, looked at Qiao Che's ruthless face, and shook her head in disbelief, "Why are you doing this? You know that our Qiao family has been making a fortune in the winery for generations. For hundreds of years, the Qiao family has always
The purpose of following the hereditary inheritance system is to allow the Qiao family’s winery to be passed down and developed from generation to generation, but now you are telling me that you want to sell all the family’s wineries?”
Qiao Che turned his head and stared at her anxious and delicate face with his dark eyes, "Now do you know how to look at me with a straight eye?"
"you……"
Qiao Che withdrew his eyes from Qiao Si's face and said lightly, "Except for Chateau Saili in Paris, the Qiao family can make a profit of 300% every year. The other wineries almost make no profit. They rely on Saili
The winery remains flat...if it continues at this rate, the Qiao family will eventually make up for its losses and slowly head towards the road of destruction."
"What do you mean by that?"
"As the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, I only know how to cling to this property. If I don't know how to take care of it, how can I maintain the prosperity of the Qiao family for generations?"
"Huh?" Why couldn't she understand what he said?
"If we can turn all the wineries that are losing money into losses, the Qiao family will not be destroyed. Therefore, at tonight's charity dinner, I will negotiate a business for the Qiao family and find someone to invest in the Qiao family's winery.
At the same time, find sales channels.”
After that, Qiao Si finally understood something...
"You mean, the reason for going to the charity dinner tonight is actually to help the Qiao family negotiate business?"
"What if?" Qiao Che turned to look at her with a gentle expression.
She looked at him blankly, and it took her a while to realize, "So, you just lied to me when you said you planned to sell the winery?"
"You must learn to look at people with a straight face at all times."
"you……"
She was so frightened that he actually didn't look at him just to teach her a lesson.
What, does he usually look at her?
"Okay, Tang will pick you up from a meeting at 8:30..." He returned to his indifferent tone.
Joss asked, "Do I have to go?"
"Unless you think the Qiao family doesn't need to discuss this business with anyone."
Qiao Si was immediately embarrassed. "Then...then who knows if you are not well-intentioned?"
"Then don't try it."
"I……"
"Get out of the car. If you want to go to the banquet, get ready. Don't embarrass me."
Qiao Si bit her lip, glanced at him, and then walked out of the car.
When Qiao Si got out of the car, Tang Kai quietly approached her and said, "The boss is indeed determined to help the Qiao family, don't worry!"
Qiao Si was stunned for a moment.
The car drove away under Qiao Si's dull eyes.

When she returned home, she was supposed to celebrate her first salary with her mother and Rachel, but after seeing Qiao Che, she was no longer in the mood.
"Miss……"
As soon as her mother saw Qiao Si, she hugged Rachel and came towards her.
"Mommy..." Rachel spread her arms and threw them at Joss.
Qiao Si reached out and held Rachel in her arms, kissing her lovingly.
Mom asked, "Miss, where should we take Rachel to play in the afternoon?"
Qiao Si said, "Mom, we may have to stay at home in the afternoon."
"ah?"
Qiao Si said, "He's here."
…
Rachel's childish mind didn't know who the "him" that Joss was referring to. She only knew that her plan to go out for fun in the afternoon was ruined by this person. Rachel couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, who is he?"
"
"He...he is a friend of Mommy. He has something to do with Mommy today."
"Oh, can he see mommy again tomorrow?" Rachel asked Qiao Si innocently, batting her curled eyelashes.
Qiao Si answered the child in a childish tone, "But Mommy has already promised."
Rachel lowered her head in despair and said with a flat mouth, "But Rachel wants to play the merry-go-round..."
Qiao Si kissed her daughter's disappointed face and said, "Then Mommy will take time off to play with you tomorrow, okay?"
Hearing that they could still play tomorrow, Rachel's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, thank you, Mommy."
"good."
"Mommy, I want to go play with Barbie..."
"Okay, let's go!" Joss put Rachel down and watched the child happily run to the room to get the Barbie doll.
Seeing Rachel go to the room, Pa's mother said, "Miss, what is Mr. Qiao doing here?"
Qiao Si then repeated to her mother what Qiao Che said to her.
Mom was immediately pleasantly surprised, "So, Qiao always intends to help the Qiao family?"
Qiao Si shook her head, "I don't know his purpose, but he is right. Qiao's winery needs to be renovated."
"Then he plans to return all the Qiao family's property to you?"
"I think he has never taken a fancy to the Qiao family's property."
Mom nodded, "That's true...Miss, you seem to have told me that Mr. Qiao is actually very rich."
"Um."
"Then go...maybe Mr. Qiao is not as cold as we thought."
…
At 8:30 in the evening, the white Maybach parked downstairs of Qiao Si's apartment on time.
For attending occasions like banquets, Qiao Si, who has lived in the upper class since she was a child, is already familiar with it.
However, in the past, she always wore the latest dresses released by certain luxury brands, but tonight she just went to find a dress she had worn before among the clothes she brought from the villa.
She has a good figure and actually looks good in any dress she wears. But she used to always want the best and latest, but now she feels that many things no longer matter.
She knew this was a sign that she was gradually maturing.
Holding up her skirt, Qiao Si got into the carriage.
Qiao Che's dress is always a uniform suit, and now it is also a handsome black suit, which sets off his high-spirited person.
"I asked you to dress more modestly. What are you dressing up like?"
As soon as Qiao Si got in the car, someone already frowned in displeasure.
Qiao Si looked down at herself, confused, "I...what should I dress up?"
Isn't she dressed normally?
Wearing a white tube top evening dress, she is elegant yet dignified. The twelve-inch high heels can perfectly show off her slender legs.
Qiao Che's eyes were fixed on the hollow part of Qiao Si's back.
While this dress emphasizes dignity and elegance, it also doesn’t forget to show off its sex appeal...
On the back part of the dress, the designer hollowed out the lace, allowing the sexy curves of Qiao Si’s back to be fully exposed...
Qiao Che looked away and said coldly, "You are the mother of your child, so you don't have to worry about dressing up."
"How could I not be scrupulous?" Qiao Si said angrily, "It's really inexplicable. It was you who told me to dress nicer."
"You..." For the first time, Qiao Che was silenced by Qiao Si.
Qiao Si turned her head to the side, too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
…
The car drove slowly on the busy roads of Paris.
Outside the car window, there was the bustle of people in Paris, but inside the car window, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
I don't know since when, silence became the common language between her and him.
Finally, Qiao Si moved her lips and slowly said, "Well...why are you willing to help the Qiao family?"
"What are you referring to?"
"If you win against my uncle, you can keep the Qiao family's property, and also help the Qiao family negotiate business today."
Qiao Che snorted and said, "Am I a ruthless and unjust person in your heart?"
Qiao Si slowly turned her head and looked deeply at his handsome profile.
"No matter what, Qiao Zuguang has never treated me badly. I retain Qiao Zuguang's property to repay his kindness."
It turns out that he still remembers his days at Qiao's house...
In fact, her brother has never been a cruel and indifferent person.
In his bones, he has always had the kind heart of a doctor.
His indifference to her was just because he never cared about her. In fact, he was like this to anyone he didn't care about, but she didn't want to believe it.
Qiao Si fell silent and turned to look out the window.
"How is Rachel doing?"
He asked suddenly.
She was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at him, "You...what did you just ask me?"
"How's Rachel doing lately?" he repeated, his voice slightly hoarse.
This is the first time he has asked her about Rachel since Rachel was born...
She was in a trance, sluggish, and couldn't believe it.
Does he care about Rachel?
After a few seconds, Qiao Si came back to her senses and replied, "She is very good... very well-behaved and sensible. She speaks much more eloquently than before, and sometimes she can be a little naughty."
Qiao Che nodded lightly and said nothing else.
Qiao Si's peripheral vision rested on Qiao Che's expressionless handsome face for a long time. It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped that she came back to her senses.
…
The car has stopped in front of the hotel door.
A six-star hotel with extravagant luxury and style.
The hotel waiter came to open the car door for Qiao Che, while Tang Kai was responsible for driving the car to the parking lot.
Qiao Si never thought that Qiao Che would reach out and hold her.
In the past, every time they attended public events together, he would never forget to lead her out of the car.
Such an action seemed to be nothing before, but at this moment, she hesitated.
He was always so domineering, and before she could make a decision, he had already held her hand.
The palms of his hands were as warm as ever.
Naturally, she couldn't refuse, so she took his hand and held up the hem of her skirt with the other hand, and got out of the car.
A crowd of reporters has already gathered in front of the hotel door...
She hadn't appeared in public with him for a long time, and she was actually a little nervous.
Qiao Che held Qiao Si's hand tightly and walked to the other side of the hotel.
The hotel's waiter led them upstairs to the hotel's VIP passage.
Following him all the way, she kept looking down at the hands they were holding.
She didn't know why, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered the scene of him and Qu Ranran dancing under the crystal lamp...
But when the dance reaches the moment of spinning, will his hand also hold Qu Ranran's hand, and then hug Qu Ranran into his arms?
Thinking of this, Qiao Si suddenly broke away from Qiao Che's hand.
Qiao Che stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Si lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes hiding the dimness in her eyes, "I will leave by myself."
Qiao Che's face darkened slightly, but he did not show any emotion and walked to the hotel alone.
Qiao Si followed Qiao Che silently and took two deep breaths.
At this moment, she reminded herself in her heart...
Sisi, don’t heal your scars and forget about the pain...
If you continue to let yourself go on like this, you may never be able to get rid of this memory.
After more than ten years of being together, he only treats you as a chess piece, a toy that can be played with at any time to vent his physiological needs. Why do you still have those unrealistic fantasies?
No matter how hard it is and how uncomfortable it is, you will always be proud in front of him.
…
Unbeknownst to Jose, the moment the white Maybach parked in front of the hotel, a black Bentley was following it.
Li Chengyao was sitting in the back seat of the black Bentley, and he took in the scene of Qiao Che leading Qiao Si out of the car.
"Mr. Li, would you like to come up and say hello to Miss Qiao..." the assistant and bodyguard said hurriedly.
Li Chengyao said nothing, only watched quietly as Qiao Si waved away Qiao Che's hand and walked to the hotel alone.
After a long while, Li Chengyao said, "Check Qiao Che's background for me."
"Qiao Che's background?" The assistant was stunned, "Boss, do we still need to check Qiao Che's background? He is the seventh generation heir of the Qiao family. He just won the inheritance lawsuit three months ago. He now owns the Qiao family.
Seventy percent of the family's equity belongs to Miss Qiao, and the remaining 30% belongs to Miss Qiao. In addition, he is also a well-known obstetrician and gynecologist in the medical field, and he seems to have won some very honorable medical awards in the past few years."
"Really?" Li Chengyao's dark eyes narrowed slightly into a line, and his eyes were so deep that it was difficult to guess.
