At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights in Zhong Lingtian's office are still on. The company will have a new project launched next week, so it is quite busy and needs to work overtime all night.
Zhong Lingtian likes to be quiet when working, especially at night. If he works overtime on weekdays, Secretary Tian is usually left alone, but these days Secretary Tian is on vacation, so he is the only one left on the top floor.
In the office, the air conditioner is running quietly, with the occasional sound of tapping the keyboard and flipping through files. The atmosphere is quiet and focused.
After Zhong Lingtian finished reviewing a document, he looked at the time. It was past nine o'clock and he had to leave.
Although there is still a document that has not been processed, it is still the same to take it home and read it later. Otherwise, Xiaoxun will be worried if he goes back too late.
The time was just right now. Xiaoxun had a big appetite recently and wanted to have an extra meal in the evening. He would buy some of her favorite food on the way back later.
However, just as he was about to get up and leave, the intercom phone on his desk suddenly flashed a red light, and a message came from the front desk downstairs, "President, there is a Miss Qiao who wants to see you."
Miss Qiao? It must be Qiao Jianan!
Zhong Lingtian frowned slightly. In fact, Qiao Jianan called him during the day, but he ignored it.
What is she doing looking for him? There must be nothing good going on! Besides, whether it’s good or bad, it has nothing to do with him!
His only worry was that she would hurt Xiaoxun, but during the recent period, Qiao Jianan had become more at ease. It must be that Qiao Jiaping paid too close attention to her.
If that's the case, then he has no reason to care about her. She can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't touch his bottom line and doesn't hurt his family.
As for the rest, she shouldn't even think about it! From the time when she and Qiao Jiaping teamed up to plot against him, she should have known that one day they would be strangers to each other!
Moreover, when they got engaged, it was for the purpose of marriage. Even if they truly loved each other, he would never look back! There is no room for calculation or betrayal in matters of love!
But Qiao Jianan obviously didn't think so.
"Let her wait downstairs!" He knew that Qiao Jianan would not give up if they did not meet, but he would not let her come up. It was so late and he didn't want to cause any gossip.
"Miss Qiao, please come this way." The front desk staff led Qiao Jianan to the temporary reception room on the first floor.
Qiao Jianan's eyes tightened, haha, temporary reception room? Zhong Lingtian, you actually did this to me!
"What do you want from me?" Zhong Lingtian pushed open the door and walked in. He deliberately ignored the anger on her face and asked straight to the point.
Qiao Jianan felt humiliated in her heart, but she also knew how to assess the situation and said restrainedly, "Ling Tian... I came here today to ask for your help..."
help?
"Did something happen to Xiaozhe?"
Qiao Jianan was depressed and angry, "Xiaozhe, Xiaozhe! You know Xiaozhe! Don't you care about me at all? After all, we have known each other for so many years, don't I have no status in your mind?"
Zhong Lingtian remained calm and asked, "What else? What do you want to hear? That in my mind, you are just my uncle's wife and my aunt?"
Qiao Jianan became angry and complained unwillingly, "Zhong Lingtian, are you so hard-hearted? You clearly knew that I had no choice but to do so, so why do you always have a thorn in your words?"
"Is there a thorn in your words? I'm just reminding you to remember your identity!" Zhong Lingtian's eyes tightened, and his tone became colder, "Also, what do you mean you have no choice but to do it? Did anyone force you to marry? Everything.
It’s all your own choice! Since it’s your own choice, you have to bear the consequences!”
"But I..."
"That's enough!" Zhong Lingtian interrupted her. He didn't want to continue this meaningless topic with her and asked, "You came to me just to talk about this? Then I'm sorry, I have nothing to talk about with you!"
They were indeed engaged back then, and she was also the biggest victim in Zhong Xinxiu's incident. He felt very guilty, and after all, she was also Xiaozhe's mother, so he was merciful to her later. But
, she deliberately tried to plot against Xiaoxun, and even almost hurt his and Xiaoxun's child, and the last bit of guilt he felt towards her was gone! He has always been a person who doesn't offend others.
He will not intentionally hurt anyone, but he will never allow the people he loves to be hurt by others! How important Xiaoxun and the child are to him, more important than his own life, he must protect them
They! If anyone dares to hurt them, he will never forgive them lightly!
"Zhong Lingtian, if you were half as good to me back then as you are to Liang Yixun now, I wouldn't betray you!" Qiao Jianan said with envy and hatred.
Everything is relative! She had ulterior motives when she got engaged to him. How could she compare with Xiaoxun? When Xiaoxun got the certificate from him, she just thought he was an ordinary office worker and said she would pay off the mortgage with him.
Being filial to her mother, how dare she, Qiao Jianan, compete with Xiaoxun? What a big joke!
"If there's nothing else, please forgive me for not accompanying you!" He turned to leave.
Seeing him being so indifferent, Qiao Jianan felt very uncomfortable, but there was no time to argue about this issue now, "Wait a minute..."
Zhong Lingtian raised his eyes slightly.
Qiao Jianan bit her lip and explained her purpose, "I got news today that Zhong Xinxiu is awake!"
What? Zhong Xinxiu woke up?
Zhong Lingtian was slightly stunned and surprised, but he quickly adjusted and quickly understood the purpose of Qiao Jianan's coming to him. Zhong Xinxiu's waking up was definitely not a good thing for Qiao Jianan!
"Ling Tian, I came to you because I was really desperate! Please help me! Zhong Xinxiu is not a good person. He has been awake for a week, but he didn't send someone to notify me until today! I think, he
I probably want to get a divorce, but I can’t get a divorce now! No way!”
"It's not that you can't get divorced, you can't live without the title of Mrs. Zhong!" Zhong Lingtian exposed it unceremoniously. Of course she was so afraid of divorce, not because she couldn't bear to leave Zhong Xinxiu, but she just couldn't fall into the position of Mrs. Zhong without any preparation.
throne!
Qiao Jianan's face turned green and red. Yes, of course she wanted to break up with Zhong Xinxiu, but he had been unconscious for so many years. Who knew he would wake up, and she was not prepared at all! She has been with Qiao Jianan all these years.
The family has not arranged a way out, and the accounts are not clear. It will be very miserable for her to be divorced at this time! Xiaozhe is not close to her, so she may not even get alimony by then!
"Ling Tian, please, help me! Only you can help me now! Come back to Hong Kong with me. Your words still have some weight in the family company. They will definitely listen to what you say!"
