has known Qiao Sijie for so long, and Ran Xixi is unwilling to speculate on him with bad ideas.

However, she really couldn't accept such a coincidental "accident" - Qiao Zheng died, Qiao Rin died, and it was on the same day, not a few hours before and after.

In this way, the Qiao family is really completely leaderless.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is to grasp the initiative and the right to speak. But Ran Xixi thought about it, since Qiao Rin had not decided on a definite successor, it meant that Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne were both qualified to compete. In addition, Qiao Yanne also has an additional advantage, that is, Qiao Rachel claims to be pregnant, and in Qiao's family, which is full of old antiques and high-level officials, it is a very important thing to have children.

It's ridiculous to say that so many companies are transforming, but Qiao's still adheres to some of the management models of twenty or thirty years ago. Although there were indeed problems at some point, Qiao Sijie did not make drastic reforms after some serious consideration.

First, it is because in the past three years or so, he has only replaced Qiao Rin to manage the company, and he is not really the only leader. Second, although there are drawbacks, this model cannot be said to be useless, for Qiao's who is in the midst of ups and downs, reform will not necessarily bring a new atmosphere, but may shake people's hearts.

The above two points are the reasons why he didn't start in the end.

Because of this, giving birth to the third generation as soon as possible, this kind of ordinary thinking of small citizens also exists in the hearts of many senior executives of the company. As long as Qiao Yanne announces the news that his wife is pregnant, he will definitely get a high support rate immediately.

Thinking of this, Ran Xixi couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, did Qiao Yanne know that his wife was no longer able to have children because of the last miscarriage?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she must not let Qiao Yanne snatch away what should belong to Qiao Sijie.

Even if she couldn't compete with that woman, she didn't want Qiao Sijie to repeat her tragedy, and Qiao Yanne, who had left at the beginning, came from behind and robbed the company.

This kind of pain, she has experienced it is enough, he should not experience it again.

However, Ran Xixi knew that he was lying here now and couldn't do anything. She really wanted to do something for Qiao Sijie, and at the same time, she couldn't help but vaguely guess whether Qiao Zheng's cause of death had anything to do with him, and she was so confused for a while that she couldn't be quiet.

As soon as the phone call with Ran Xixi was halfway through, Sister Fang came to call Qiao Sijie, saying that Mrs. Qiao's heart was uncomfortable again.

He had no choice but to end the call and quickly check on his mother.

Because of her husband's death, Mrs. Qiao's whole person seems to have aged ten years, she has always been strong, she gets up early every day, puts on makeup and dresses, always dresses up very dignifiedly, and will never let her appearance appear inappropriate. But at this moment, her hair was scattered over her shoulders, her eyes were so red and swollen, her nasolabial folds were long and deep, and her lips were bloodless, and she looked like an ordinary old woman.

"Mom, with my arrangement, you don't have to worry. ”

Qiao Sijie walked over to the bed and whispered, looking at her with worried eyes.

She reached out and held her son's hand, opening her mouth several times, but choked up.

"Your dad...... Your dad didn't get to see you start a family until he died...... How can you be worthy of him...... How can I be worthy of him......"

Hearing this, Qiao Sijie sighed: "Mom, actually...... Actually, I was going to get married...... I really didn't expect that my dad had been holding up for so long, and all of a sudden he was gone......"

Mrs. Qiao was stunned and muttered, "Married, who are you marrying, are you not, are you not ......"

Her face changed, and she looked at Qiao Sijie with a look of horror, afraid that he would say something to her face that she couldn't bear.

Fortunately, he smiled lightly: "You know, Xi Xi has promised me." However, the custody of the child is in her hands, if we are together, Mom, you must not be too harsh on the child in the future. Even if you can't be regarded as your own grandson, you must be more considerate of the difficulties of their mother and son, just for me, okay?"

Qiao Sijie had never had a chance to talk to his mother about this matter before, and it just so happened that today, taking this opportunity, he simply said what was in his heart.

Mrs. Qiao was really startled, and when she heard that it was her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she quickly sighed again: "What harsh do I have? I'm a lonely old lady, who else can I give small shoes to wear? Times have changed, now is not the era when the daughter-in-law is afraid of the mother-in-law, but the era when the mother-in-law wants to see the daughter-in-law's face and beg for a living! Look at the vixen who Yan Ne married, she just wants to be angry with me! Your father is gone, and now they are all climbing on my head one by one......

As she spoke, she was aroused by the sadness, and sobbed again, crying and falling into her son's arms.

Qiao Sijie had no choice but to caress his mother's back and kept comforting him softly.

Outside a door, at some point, stood a tall, slender figure.

The man listened for a moment, then quietly turned away.

Qiao Yanne walked out of the small building where her mother lived alone, returned to the mansion, and saw Qiao Rachel, who was wearing a black suit, looking at the guest list and whispering to the two nannies at home.

“…… Don't make mistake about it, seafood allergies are a big deal, and if something happens to our family, it's troublesome. Also, the children of those families should also pay special attention to the valuable antiques at home as much as possible not to be placed in a conspicuous place, so as not to be broken, and it is not easy to claim. Well, let's go ahead and get busy. ”

He listened to what Joe Rachel said, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, she was actually very capable. If it weren't for that, Rachel Joe would not have gained a firm foothold in Europe in just a few years, created her own perfume brand, and her profits have increased year after year.

Her ability, ambition, precise goals, and resolute personality are all things he has known for a long time, and they are also the reason why he is deeply attracted to her. However, after really living with her, Qiao Yanne found out that in fact, in his bones, he still has a macho problem, and hopes that his wife can try to retain a little tenderness and loveliness under the premise of ensuring ** autonomy, and not be too forceful.

Obviously, Joe Rachel scoffed at this and didn't plan to change it.

Because of this, the two of them are getting farther and farther apart.

"Are you going out?"

As soon as she turned around, Qiao Rachel couldn't help frowning when she saw Qiao Yanne, and then saw him holding the car keys in his hand.

He nodded, "Hmm." ”

Hearing Qiao Sijie's tone of not wanting to say more, Qiao Rachel's brows tightened: "Many relatives are coming, you'd better stay at home, if I can't see you......"

He interrupted her: "Aren't you here? I see that you take care of everything very well and in order, and it won't affect me when I go out." It's so depressing here, I want to go out and have a walk. ”

It was probably the last sentence that touched Qiao Rachel, and her face finally softened, considering that he had just lost his father, and he had been away from home for many years, and he had not been able to fulfill his filial piety by his father's side, Qiao Yanne's heart must have been very uncomfortable.

So, she didn't say anything more, just reminded him to come back as soon as possible.

Qiao Yanne walked out the door, a few cars were parked outside, and several drivers in the house were standing outside, smoking and chatting.

He glanced over and saw Qiao Sijie's driver in the crowd.

casually made an excuse, Qiao Yanne called the man over and walked with him to a no-man's corner.

He took the initiative to hand a cigarette to Qiao Sijie's driver, and the other party was a little flattered, although he was greatly surprised, he still thanked him and took it.

Qiao Yanne casually lit a cigarette for him, and asked directly, "Where has my brother been going except for going to the company recently?"

The driver choked, coughed repeatedly, and his face turned red.

"I don't have any ill intentions, I just see that he seems to be very tired lately, and his face is not good. It stands to reason that there aren't so many things in the company, isn't there anything uncomfortable about him?"

Hearing his tone as if he was concerned, the driver hesitated, and simply told Qiao Yanne about Qiao Sijie's visit to Ran Xixi in the hospital in the past two days.

"Miss Ran, are you sure?"

Qiao Yanne endured the surprise in her heart and asked pretending to be calm.

The driver nodded: "Yes, I heard William say that." William is a big celebrity next to Mr. Qiao, it should be true, right? I have only followed Mr. Qiao in the last few months, and I usually can't say anything, just drive honestly, and I don't know the rest of the things. ”

Seeing that he really didn't seem to know anything, Qiao Yanne patted him on the shoulder, casually stuffed the box of cigarettes that had just been opened into the driver's hand, and left.

He got straight into the car and went straight to the hospital that the driver had just mentioned.

Along the way, Qiao Yanne was thinking about what happened to Ran Xixi, how could he suddenly be hospitalized silently, it was really strange.

When he arrived at the hospital, Qiao Yanne found the ward where Ran Xixi was located with almost no effort.

As for how he did it, it should be thanks to his face, although in the past few years, he has hardly attracted bees and butterflies, but the skills of the year are still there. What's more, the hospital is full of young nurses, and they can't stand the sweet words of handsome guys, as long as they chat for three or five sentences, they will say everything that should be said and what should not be said, and they don't even realize it.

Qiao Yanne did not waste time, and soon came to the outside of Ran Xixi's ward.

He took a deep breath, a little nervous, as if the hand that knocked on the door was trembling slightly.

It was the nurse who came to open the door, and when he saw Qiao Yanne, the nurse only felt a little familiar, but he didn't know it.

"Hello, I'm looking for Ran Xixi, I'm ...... My surname is Joe. ”

As soon as he heard the surname Qiao, the nurse suddenly realized: no wonder he felt familiar, it turned out to be Qiao's family, looking at his age, I am afraid it is Qiao Sijie's younger brother.

"You're Mr. Joe's...... Brother?"

Qiao Yanne nodded and walked in directly.
