Episode 2 'Threads Penetrating' - break through 5000
Chapter 4'
As soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, a small chaos suddenly occurred at the scene. While the reporters were tasting red wine, Robinson walked out of the crowd with a strange smile on his face.
"Sisi, for such an important event today, you didn't even invite your uncle. Doesn't this show you how to respect your elders?"
Robinson's voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and the reporters began to point their flashlights at Robinson and others.
Joss was obviously not expecting Robinson's appearance, and there was a trace of panic on her already pale face.
Jiang Zheng smiled and helped Qiao Si, "Mr. Robinson, of course Miss will not forget to invite you. After all, you are Miss's uncle. However, after the last lawsuit, you have not been satisfied. Miss is worried that you are still angry.
So I don’t dare to disturb you… I hope you’ll be kind to Mr. Robinson!”
Robinson laughed loudly, "How can I care about Sisi when I'm old? I came here today just to congratulate Saili on her brilliant performance under Sisi's guidance..."
Robinson's words immediately aroused a heated discussion at the scene.
Qiao Si's face was also paler than before.
Some people in the crowd began to be guided by Robinson and asked, "Miss Qiao, Qiao's Winery is a family business. According to your family's rules, it seems that the person in charge of the winery will only be Mr. Qiaocher. Why would Mr. Robinson say that the winery is a family business?"
Are you the one who is guiding us? Also, why haven’t we seen Mr. Qiao Che for so long today? As the sole heir to the Qiao family’s inheritance, it seems a little unreasonable for him not to show up..."
I don't know who echoed, "Yes, yes... Miss Qiao, from Mr. Robinson's tone, it seems that you are in charge of the Qiao family now, but this does not seem to be in line with the Qiao family's family rules..."
On Robinson's side, a relative in the family said, "Sisi, has Archer not arrived yet? How could he be late for such an important day?" This article deliberately gave Qiao Si a step down, but in reality it was not.
He is trapping Qiao Si into injustice.
The scene flashed continuously, and all reporters were waiting for Qiao Si's answer.
It was Jiang Zheng who answered on behalf of Qiao Si, "Everyone must have misunderstood... You all know that Archer is a doctor and he often travels around the world. Therefore, when Archer is not in New York, Miss Qiao Si
Taking care of family affairs for the time being, of course, Archer will always be in charge..."
"Even so, on such an important occasion today, it doesn't seem very kind for Archer to not come, doesn't it?" Robinson reached a deadlock again.
Jiang Zheng was already a little helpless and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Standing in the audience, Joss heard the reporters asking questions and saw the eager faces of Robinson and others.
Qiao Si couldn't help but tremble. She began to lose hearing everyone's voices, and her head went blank for a while...
"Sisi, why haven't you seen your boyfriend Li Chengyao today?" Robinson began to shoot cold arrows again.
Reporters have been waiting for the opportunity to open this topic. Now that Robinson started it, the reporters began to ask, "Miss Qiao, there are rumors that you and Mr. Li have broken up. Is this true?"
Joss felt like she was suddenly thrust into a desolate place, with no place to hide and no one to rely on.
She stared blankly at all the people in the audience who were watching eagerly, as if her heart was in a desperate situation.
She must not announce her affair with Li Chengyao to the outside world now. As Uncle Jiang said, the Qiao family's resurrection depends entirely on Li Chengyao. If it is announced to the world that she and Li Chengyao have nothing to do with each other now, it will be equivalent to driving the Qiao family into a desperate situation...
What should she do in the current situation?
"Miss Qiao, please answer..."
"Miss Qiao..."
Countless sounds buzzed into Qiao Si's ears, irritating her eardrums and almost losing her mind.
At this moment, there was another commotion among the guests...
"Mr. Li..."
"Doctor Qiao..."
The faint shouts of applause from the crowd attracted everyone at the scene to look towards the commotion.
The next second, everyone at the scene fell silent.
Qiao Si was stunned on the spot, but could not hide her excitement and surprise.
No one thought that Qiao Che would arrive with Li Chengyao...
They were talking and walking towards each other, like very good friends, and the picture looked so natural.
Today, they are all wearing grand black suits, Li Chengyao is wearing a Western-style bow tie, showing off his charm, and Qiao Che is wearing a dark tie, looking solemn and low-key, but extremely handsome.
Everyone at the scene was excited to see this scene, and the reporters' spotlights and flashlights were constantly pointed at them...
Li Chengyao's casual bodyguards were maintaining order and the scene would not become chaotic...
Jiang Zheng and others breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Qiao Si's eyes were fixed on Qiao Che and did not move away for a second. However, when Yin Ruolan next to Qiao Che smiled at the reporters' cameras, Qiao Si paused heavily...
It turned out that Qiao Che did not come alone... Yin Ruolan was wearing a beautiful and elegant dress at the moment, holding his arm affectionately.
Everyone's focus was on Qiao Che and Li Chengyao, and no one noticed Qiao Si's pale face at the moment.
Finally, Qiao Che and Li Chengyao came on stage. Of course, Yin Ruolan followed Qiao Che all the way...
Jiang Zheng reacted very quickly and said to Qiao Che and Li Chengyao, "You are finally here. I almost got swallowed by them for my old bones..."
Jiang Zheng's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, except for Robinson and others who were already turning green at this moment.
Qiao Che was extremely gentle to Yin Ruolan next to him, reminding Yin Ruolan of the path under her feet from time to time, causing the lights of the scene to shine for a while.
"If you look at him again, there will probably be a big problem in tomorrow's headlines."
Li Chengyao didn't know when he held Qiao Si's waist, tilted his head slightly, and whispered in Qiao Si's ear.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Chengyao was just biting his ear with Qiao Si at the moment, and the two looked very affectionate.
Qiao Si came back to her senses. Facing Li Chengyao's touch, she stiffened slightly, raised her head, and stared at Li Chengyao.
Li Chengyao smiled softly, "I said, I will definitely accompany you to attend today's press conference."
Just as Qiao Si was about to say something, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ears.
It's Qiao Che.
He walked up to the microphone and spoke out as the heir of the Qiao family.
"First of all, I'm sorry that I'm late today. It's really difficult for a woman to go out, and I have to take her to attend this grand event of our family, so I hope you can forgive me..."
When Qiao Che said these words, he kept looking at Yin Ruolan lovingly. Yin Ruolan was very cooperative and smiled shyly, making all the guests present laugh at Qiao Che's words, but at the same time they had to envy the love between them.
.
Qiao Che then turned the topic to the main topic, "Thank you all for coming to attend the 132nd new product launch of our Qiaojia Winery. I still remember that three years ago today, it was my father who took the lead.
As Qiao Si and I stood in front of this stage to share this moment with everyone, I never thought that in the blink of an eye, my father had passed away three years ago..."
Qiao Che is a natural actor...
When he talked about "father", he was sincere and moved everyone present. These remarks also made today's wine conference extra meaningful.
"My enthusiasm for medicine will never affect my dedication to my family. Joss and I will do our best to take care of all the family's businesses... In addition, this year Joss and I also welcomed our...
This is the most important year in life. From now on, Qiao Si and I will not be the only ones fighting. There will also be Ruolan and my future brother-in-law Li Chengyao... I believe that with our efforts, the Qiao family will be able to survive.
Going further, the red wine produced by the Qiao family will definitely be passed down from generation to generation!!"
Qiao Che's words brought thunderous applause from the audience.
Qiao Che finally looked at Qiao Si, but his eyes did not stay on Qiao Si for a second. Instead, he said to Li Chengyao with extreme courtesy, "Let's let Mr. Li say a few words. Thank you very much Li Chengyao."
As soon as today comes..."
Li Chengyao smiled at everyone and looked down at Qiao Si, "At this time, you should stay with me."
Li Chengyao's reminder brought Qiao Si out of her daze and looked at Li Chengyao blankly.
It was inevitable that everyone would see Qiao Si's stunned face at this moment. Li Chengyao gently kissed Qiao Si's cheek and blocked Qiao Si's gaffe with himself...
Immediately, Li Chengyao pulled Qiao Si towards the microphone.
"I'm very happy to be able to attend Qiao's new product launch event today. I have always been interested in red wine, so I was lucky enough to meet Qiao Si at a red wine banquet this year..."
The new product launch conference of Qiaojia Liquor Industry ended successfully.
The celebration banquet is arranged in the evening...
At this moment, Qiao Si walked into the hotel with Li Chengyao on her arm.
There were reporters all around the hotel. They were surrounded by Li Chengyao's bodyguards outside the hotel. They could only watch Qiao Si and Li Chengyao walk into the hotel's VVIP channel...
When there were no reporters behind her and she and Li Chengyao were the only ones in the corridor, she finally slowly let go of Li Chengyao's arm.
Li Chengyao seemed to have expected that Qiao Si would behave like this, his face was very calm.
She walked up to him and looked at him steadily.
He looked into her eyes, which were so calm without a trace of ripples.
Qiao Si's voice was a little choked, "I...I didn't expect you to come."
Li Chengyao looked at Qiao Si for a long time, then he just smiled and said, "Do you think I will be angry with you for so long?"
"I……"
Li Chengyao gently supported Qiao Si's thin back, "I will definitely do what I promised you." He promised her that he would accompany her to attend, and he would definitely come.
Qiao Si shook her head, her apologetic voice filled with sobs, "No... Chengyao, don't be so nice to me... I'm not worthy..."
"I told you before, whether it's worth it or not, I have the final say."
"But I owe you something, and I can't afford it..."
"fool……"
At this second, Li Chengyao pressed Qiao Si's thin back and hugged her into his arms, "I didn't ask you to return..."
Qiao Si was buried in Li Chengyao's arms and sobbed uncontrollably, "Why are you so stupid, why? You have known about my relationship with Qiao Che from the beginning to the end, why do you still want to get together with me?"
Li Chengyao closed his eyes, deeply absorbing the fragrance of Qiao Si's hair, and said hoarsely, "Because, I can't control my heartbeat for you."
"But I can't give you anything..."
"It doesn't matter, you don't necessarily need to pay back for your efforts." He vomited out in pain, suppressing the hurt in his heart.
"Woo..."
She sobbed louder, unable to let go of the debt she felt to Li Chengyao in her heart.
"Fool, stop crying..."
Li Chengyao gently held Qiao Si's tear-stained face, his heartache escaped, "I told you, what I fear most is seeing women's tears."
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and face with his thumb, with the gentle smile still on his face, "Look at you, crying like a tabby cat..."
He was trying to make her laugh, but she couldn't laugh.
Even though she knew it looked ugly when she cried, she still couldn't hold back her tears...
Li Chengyao could only keep wiping away her tears and coaxing her.
Her sobbing voice finally slowed down, and she realized that her snot and tears had stained his suit...
"sorry……"
She lowered her head, suppressing the sobs in her throat, and said embarrassedly.
Li Chengyao chuckled, "Just don't cry...otherwise people passing by will think I bullied my 'girlfriend'."
She bit her lip and muttered, "There's no one else here..."
Li Chengyao rubbed her head and said, "Go and touch up your makeup... Even if no one passes by here, if you meet someone at the banquet later, others will think that I bullied you."
Joss nodded.
After coming out of the bathroom, Li Chengyao was still waiting in the corridor.
Qiao Si had already regained her composure. She held her arm with Li Chengyao and said, "No matter what...Thank you for coming today. I can't repay you in return."
Li Chengyao said as he walked, "Maybe there is another person you want to repay."
Qiao Si shook her head, "Don't forget, he has Yin Ruolan with him."
Li Chengyao said, "But he came after all... If I hadn't come today, he would have saved you from the fire and water."
Qiao Si didn't speak, all that flashed through her mind was the indifference of Qiao Che who had not even looked at her since he appeared.
"He and Yin Ruolan are about to get engaged. What are your plans?" Li Chengyao asked softly.
Qiao Si slowly stopped and looked at Li Chengyao calmly, "He and Yin Ruolan will never get engaged."
"Are you sure you can stop it?"
Qiao Si took a deep breath and confidently exhaled, "My brother, I know him better than anyone else... He won't let me go. He doesn't want to see me being wronged at all, so tonight, I will let him come to me in person."
I."
Li Chengyao frowned slightly, "Even so, your time with him will probably not be too long..."
Qiao Si said firmly, "I'm not afraid... Even if he only has one day left, I will live this day as a lifetime... This time, I will accompany him to the end."
Li Chengyao sighed and rubbed her head, "You silly woman..."
Qiao Si smiled slightly, "One day you will meet such a silly woman..."
"Maybe..."
"I will bless you silently from the bottom of my heart."
"If you need any help from me, please call me anytime."
"I will..."
"Let's go..."
"Um."
…
Outsiders did not see anything unusual at this banquet.
Qiao Si is always accompanied by Li Chengyao, and Qiao Che is always accompanied by Yin Ruolan...
The four of them are called a couple by the outside world, and tomorrow's newspaper headlines are destined to be about the four of them.
Qiao Che didn't stay long at the banquet before taking Yin Ruolan away on the grounds that Yin Ruolan was unwell. Qiao Si seemed to turn a blind eye and continued to play the most tacit couple with Li Chengyao...
She drank a lot tonight, but Li Chengyao didn't stop her and stayed with her the whole time.
Everyone thought she was celebrating the launch of the winery's new wine, so even if she was drunk, no one would suspect her...
After the dinner, she got into Li Chengyao's car drunkenly...
"I'll take you home."
She leaned into Li Chengyao's arms and said vaguely, "No... I'm not drunk, please send me somewhere..."
"you say."
"I'm going to the Venus Hotel...yes...that's the Venus..." Her brother would definitely stay at this hotel as long as he was in Paris, because no one would know him better than her.
