Chapter 21: A slap doesn't make a sound
Qiao Yin, who received the invitation, started a new round of busyness, only this time it was no longer her alone, but all the designers in the design department participated. Qiao Yin boldly hired a newcomer to the design department, asked to break the old ideas of previous design, and studied the architectural characteristics of various hotels of the Universal Group abroad.
Just after discussing the design drawings in the design department, Qiao Yin took Gao Yuan and Cheng Feng to see Chu Lingxin in the corridor of the executive floor.
Chu Lingxin was obviously waiting for her, but as before, she was still dressed like a young lady, with brand-name fashion and brand-name handbags.
Walking to Qiao Yin's side, Chu Ling asked straight to the point: "Qiao Yin, you don't stay abroad well, why are you coming back?" Don't tell me that you haven't given up on Shaoqing. β
Qiao Yin didn't answer her words, just frowned, what does it mean that she hasn't given up on Shaoqing?
Gao Yuan and Cheng Feng, who were following her, didn't speak, they were not qualified to speak at this time, they just needed to protect Qiao Yin.
Seeing that Qiao Yin didn't speak, Chu Lingxin thought that she was right, so she was angry: "Don't think that you have become the president of Qiao's now, Shaoqing can be impressed by you." Shaoqing didn't want you six years ago, and you just want Shaoqing to come back to you now, don't you?"
Qiao Yin looked at Chu Lingxin calmly: "Impressed? A man who has slept with other women, why should I let him impress me? This kind of man can only be a treasure if you are a treasure, I have no feelings for him for a long time, I don't have time to argue with you about this kind of boring question." β
The Qiao family was very good to Chu Lingxin, and the old man originally considered that Qiao Yin had no parents since she was a child, so he often asked Chu Lingxin to come over to accompany her. In Qiao's family, Old Man Qiao treats Qiao Yin and Chu Lingxin equally, as long as Qiao Yin has Chu Lingxin, he will naturally have it, but no one expected that Chu Lingxin would snatch Qiao Yin's fiancΓ©.
Qiao Yin, who how Chu Lingxin hooked up with Zhou Shaoqing, didn't know, Qiao Yin only knew that a slap didn't make a sound. In these days, as long as men are rich, all kinds of women will stick up on their own, making you unguarded.
Qiao Yin was disdainful of this kind of person, and just about to leave, Chu Lingxin stepped forward to block Qiao Yin: "You are talking nonsense, you said that you have no feelings for Shaoqing, why do you want to compete with Futian Group for the design of the hotel, you obviously want to attract Shaoqing's attention to you." β
"Chu Lingxin, what are you crazy about? What does this have to do with the design drawings? What does it have to do with you?"
"You still said no....and said no, you came back to seduce Shaoqing, don't think I don't know, you just want to take advantage of this opportunity to design for the hotel to get close to Shaoqing." Chu Lingxin stared at Qiao Yin viciously and said.
Qiao Yin smiled coldly: "Really, Chu Lingxin, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Lingxin replied without showing weakness: "Who said I was scared? When the time comes, how can you come back from abroad and then roll back. "It's better to ..... never go back!
Although the last sentence was not spoken, Qiao Yin seemed to hear it: "Do you think that if I go to the United States, I will never come back?"
Chu Lingxin frightened Qiao Yin unconfidently: "I'll tell you, Shaoqing is mine, you don't want to snatch him away." You finally hurry back to the United States, or I'll make you look good. β
Qiao Yin walked in front of Chu Lingxin, the two of them were very close, and said in a low voice in her ear: "Chu Lingxin, since I am back, I will not let you go, your nightmare has just begun! As for Zhou Shaoqing, you better keep it for yourself, I don't want this kind of man." β
After speaking, he said to Gao Yuan and Cheng Feng, who had not spoken from beginning to end behind him: "Let's go." β
Chu Lingxin bit her lip and stood in place, she had to admit that she was afraid, she was not confident because of the marriage contract between Zhou Qiao's two families. Although she has been with Zhou Shaoqing all these years, she is afraid that one day, the Zhou family or the Qiao family will propose to continue this marriage contract, then Zhou Shaoqing will never be able to marry her, and she can only be an unsightly junior.
This is not what she wants, what she wants to do is Mrs. Zhou!
The top priority now is to quickly figure out how to marry Zhou Shaoqing as soon as possible, her family background is not as good as Qiao Yin, it is estimated that the Zhou family will not agree easily.
If ..... she is pregnant, it will be different, and she can marry into the Zhou family with her son! Rich families hope to have heirs, successors or something, especially since the Zhou family has been passed down for three generations, and if she has a child, everything will not be a problem.
"Yes, that's it" Chu Lingxin's mood suddenly improved, he smiled proudly, and decided to go to Shaoqing tonight.
Qiao Yin returned to the office, didn't look at the design drawings, didn't turn on the computer, and sat there thinking about what Chu Lingxin said.
She didn't understand, where did Chu Lingxin see that she didn't have a dead heart for Zhou Shaoqing? Since returning to China, she had seen Zhou Shaoqing twice, once at her grandfather's birthday banquet and once at a nightclub. said that she seduced Zhou Shaoqing? slept with other women when she had not yet broken off the marriage contract, she looked down on such a man, and even felt disgusting!
What she envies is the single-minded relationship between her parents and her second uncle and aunt, and there are indeed not many couples in wealthy families who can stay together without two hearts, but it is not nothing.
Thinking of this, she remembered what happened on that night in the United States four years ago, although it was not what she wanted, but she would never compromise on marriage, unless she could find someone who did not dislike herself, she would rather not marry!
Qiao Yin's eyes darkened, and she stared at the computer on the table in a daze.
When I returned to Qiao's house in the evening, everyone was there except Qiao Chu, Qiao Mushen and Qiao Yu also came back from the army, and they were all sitting in the living room, and there was a guest Qiao Yin who was very familiar.
"Godfather?" Qiao Yin saw Yue Zhenshan and called out sweetly.
A man about fifty years old with a slightly chubby figure looked back at Qiao Yin and walked in,
He is Yue Zhenshan, the Minister of Public Security of City A, and Qiao Mushen's old comrade-in-arms, Yue Zhenshan has been in contact with Qiao Mushen for many years after leaving the army. Yue Zhenshan is not very old but has only one son and is younger than Qiao Yin, Yue Zhenshan likes Qiao Yin very much, and Qiao Yin has had no parents since she was a child, so she recognized her as a goddaughter.
"You girl, I don't come to see you, have you forgotten my godfather?" Yue Zhenshan asked with a pretended face.
"Why, I'm not busy, I'm planning to see my godfather in the next few days. Qiao Yin replied with a smile.
Qiao Yin was still very happy to see Yue Zhenshan, but seeing that Yue Zhenshan was the only one in the living room, she sat next to Yue Zhenshan and asked anxiously: "Godfather, how have you been doing in the past few years? What about Godmother? What about Yue Yang? Has he graduated?"
"They're all very good, your godmother has been thinking about you for the past few years, and you don't call all of us to report that you're safe, if Qiao Chu didn't know where you were, we would all think you were missing.
You don't even know, your godmother heard that you went to the United States alone and was in a hurry, and so was that kid in Yueyang, who had to buy a plane ticket to find you in the United States. β
"I know that Godmother and Yueyang are thinking about me, I will bring you gifts when I come back this time, and I will go to see Godmother and Yueyang when this time is over. Qiao Yin said with satisfaction.
Yue Zhenshan looked at Qiao Yin carefully, nodded and praised: "Well, you are much more mature and stable than six years ago, girl, you are more capable now? β
Qiao Yin's big eyes flickered, and she had a surprised expression: "Really, grandpa rarely praises people." β
Old Man Qiao glared at him: "What's the use of having great ability, it's not that he has been divorced." β
Hearing this, Qiao Yin looked up at the crystal chandelier helplessly, what does it have to do with getting out of the marriage?
"Grandpa, godfather, you talk, I'll go back to the room first. Then he slipped away without looking back.
Yue Zhenshan smiled and said, "This girl, she is still embarrassed, and she is still the same as before." β
Then Yue Zhenshan turned his head to look at Old Man Qiao: "What you always said is not right, if you want me to say that this marriage should have been withdrawn a long time ago, I can't look down on that kid from the Zhou family." Hmph, if my son was still here, where would it be his turn, Nan Nan would have been my daughter-in-law a long time ago. β
"There is no news about your eldest son for so many years?" Old Man Qiao ignored Qiao Yin and continued to ask Yue Zhenshan.
Yue Zhenshan's face was gloomy, and he shook his head: "No, there has been no news for more than 20 years, and the DNA has been tested." β
Old Man Qiao sighed: "Hey, poor that kid, it's also a hard life." Disappeared at such a young age, and I don't know ......."
Immediately afterwards, Yue Zhenshan also sighed heavily.
Qiao Yin had just gone up the stairs when she heard what they said, and the grandfather didn't say the rest of the words, so she probably didn't know if she was still alive.
She heard her grandfather and second uncle say that Yue Zhenshan's eldest son disappeared when he was very young, and she didn't know if he was abducted or lost by himself, in short, he hadn't been found all these years, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. After losing his son, Yue Zhenshan's wife was very sad and was rescued from suicide several times. Yue Zhenshan tried his best to coax his wife for days to no avail, and in the end, he had no choice, so he invited countless doctors, but all the doctors said that they were heart disease.
When she was a child, Qiao Yin often went to Yue's house to play, and every time she went, she saw Yue Zhenshan's wife lying on the bed, thin as skin and bones, looking out of the window with empty eyes. It wasn't until several years later that my godmother gave birth to another boy that her mood slowly improved. However, they still did not give up on finding the missing child. That kid is pitiful, and so is his godfather and godmother!
Qiao Yin thought that when the things at hand were done, she should accompany them more, Yue Zhenshan and his wife were still very good to themselves, and the top priority was to get the hotel design drawings in advance.
