The grey Aston Martin was like a ghost, quietly and slowly turning into the street.

Ben Robert sat in the driver's seat, sighed wistfully, raised his hand to turn off the ignition, and pulled out the key.

When he got out of the car, someone not far away called him.

"Come and sit here, Ban."

Ben Robert was surprised and delighted, his face well-lit up, and he strode to the open-air café, pulled out his chair, and locked his eyes on Qiao Shanquan.

She tied her black hair back behind her head, wore a dark cyan jumpsuit, tied a dark gold hooked double-patterned wide belt around her waist, and several gold bracelets of different materials on her wrist that were casually matched together.

Ben Robert was mesmerized by the flirtatious flirtatious flair she exuded.

Although she is an Oriental, she is both wise and talented, with tasteful design and matching, and her background in a prestigious school adds more aura to her. Her beauty is a mixture of European and American casualness and ease, strong and independent, but also a kind of alienation and mystery that wants to welcome and reject, which makes his heart beat faster, wanting to reconquer her and make her his own woman.

This is a feat that no man can refuse.

However, Ben quickly remembered what he had heard and witnessed the day before.

The charming fashion girl in front of her, she has married someone else-

"Qiaoqi, are you really married? Married to that man? Frustratedly rubbing his carefully groomed hair, Ban's blue-gray eyes showed confusion and remorse.

Looking away from the screen of her mobile phone, Qiao Shanquan held her chin and looked at him with a smile: "Yes, I'm already married." With that, she flashed her ring finger, and the shiny ring reflected a blinding light, burning Ben Robert's eyes.

He grabbed Qiao Shanquan's arm in a frenzy: "Tell me the truth, Qiao Qi, I know you very well, you are a very picky person, how could you marry yourself casually?" You're just trying to get revenge on me, you want to see me lose control of you and regret it, right? ”

Without a trace, she withdrew her hand, Qiao Shan frowned, losing her comfortable mood of enjoying the early summer sunshine and drinking coffee.

"Ben Robert, please be respectful to me. We're just a little bit of a friend now, and you're not in a position to question me like that. Marriage or not is my personal matter, why should I tell you? ”

In the face of Qiao Shanquan's cold and arrogant posture, Ben Robert's courage that finally burst out, like a balloon punctured by a needle, suddenly deflated.

Tilting his head, Ben Robert's eyes filled with pain.

"Qiaoqi, I know you're still resentful of me. But you shouldn't take revenge on marriage, you know? You should calm down and reconsider your marriage. I think you should be able to see who you're better off with. He glanced suggestively at the red-brick building across the street, "Maybe that model gentleman can help you walk the catwalk, take pictures, and be a spokesperson, but I think you have to do more than that, Georgie." I can see that you have a lot of confidence in your brand, they are very outstanding works of art, they should not be hidden in such an attic, but should go out into the world, to the most dazzling stage. ”

The more Ben Robert spoke, the more excited he became, he couldn't help but hold her left hand with both hands, and rubbed her tail finger ambiguously, "Qiaoqi, I can help you, recently I am talking to people in Switzerland about hedge funds and private equity, once the cooperation is negotiated, I can have more capital to help you...... I will plan for you, step by step to expand the scale and influence of the brand, with your vision and design talent, coupled with my connections, you will soon become the object of celebrity and socialite pursuit. Only by being with me can you realize such a beautiful blueprint. ”

Touched by the handsome man in front of her, Qiao Shanquan shuddered and struggled to break free, her eyes welled up with anger: "Don't touch me!" You're no longer qualified to approach me, Ben Robert. Our relationship has long since ended, haven't you figured it out? ”

"It's me who is bad, Qiaoqi, I can apologize to you, I know you are just cold to people, I shouldn't go to someone else because you won't let me touch it...... As long as you're willing to come back to me and divorce that model, I promise you won't do the same stupid thing again. Qiaoqi, I just made a mistake that all men do, can't you be generous and forget about it? ”

Ben Robert was a little angry, he was from a famous family, he was well-educated, and he was an out-and-out pride of the sky. He thought to Qiao Shanquan that he had been low enough to be condescending and condescending.

He had never taken anyone else so seriously, and he thought that Qiao Shanquan should know how to be grateful and cherish the opportunity he gave him again. He could even forgive her for casually marrying herself to a man who didn't fit in, wasn't that enough?

However, Qiao Shanquan didn't take him seriously at all.

She was furious, and from the moment Ben Robert betrayed her, she had flushed all the sweet words and thoughtfulness he had ever said down the toilet and down the sewers to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

She Qiao Shanquan can have no man, she would rather be single to death than reduce her dignity, and kneel and lick a man who regards romance as honor and cheating as ordinary.

"Shut up, Ben Robert, or I'll beat you up right here!" Qiao Shanquan suppressed her anger and looked at Ben Robert with hatred and disdain, "Didn't I say it clearly enough? I'm married, married. What are you going to do now? Trying to lure me into cheating and betraying my husband? Ha, I tell you, stop dreaming! ”

"You can get a divorce. I'll introduce my lawyer to you and promise not to get into any trouble. "Ben Robert didn't realize the extent of the problem.

He immersed himself in his own world and continued to chatter: "You must get rid of this inexplicable marriage as soon as possible, while few people know about your marriage." Georgie, I'm willing to do everything in my power to hide it from you, including the special relationship between you and that model, and I will never tell anyone else. In this way, it was possible to hide from everyone that the designer they saw was still flawless and without any stains. In this way, our family will accept you......"

Syllable!

A crisp slap in the face.

Ben Robert was stunned, covered his face, and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what had just happened.

Staring at this well-dressed, handsome and elegant man, Qiao Shanquan trembled with anger.

"I warn you, Ben Robert, that every word you say is an insult to me! What do you think of me? A tool to show off? I'm not your possession, please figure this out! We broke up a long time ago, I have an independent personality and can decide how my life should be lived, and I don't need you to worry about me and interfere in my life! ”

"Do you think I have to be you? Let's be honest, the Robert family and your family's bank, I don't care about it yet. She licked her canine teeth, gave a cruel sneer, and raised her hand to the attic opposite, "See that stretched Lincoln parked downstairs?" You know why I'm sitting here drinking coffee? ”

Ben Robert shook his head blankly, he wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared back by Qiao Shanquan.

"I think you've probably forgotten what the gentleman from the most powerful family in Italy said when you met with investors that day." Qiao Shanquan squinted and smiled arrogantly and proudly, "The husband I married, he has a father from the illustrious Borromeo family. Right now, their father and son may be staging a touching recognition scene. I left room for them to talk and avoided it in advance. ”

Hearing this, Ben Robert's face turned pale.

That's right...... He remembered.

At that time, he was too shocked by the fact that Qiao Shanquan was married, but he also vaguely remembered that they seemed to have some conflict with the gentleman.

After Qiao Shanquan and the others left, Ben was politely and unrefusable by the secretary to stay for afternoon tea. The Mr. Hawke asked him questions, mostly about the designer Georgie and her unobtrusive inquiries about her interactions with the model.

Ben Robert was jealous of the inseparable men who appeared next to Qiao Shanquan, and he looked down on these men who ate youth and sold skin—beautiful and sexy women as models to serve men. And as a man, it is ridiculous to take a woman's job.

So at the beginning, Qiao Shanquan's male best friend Sean took the initiative to show favor to him, and Ben Robert secretly despised it in his heart, and generously accepted the Yanfu sent to the door.

In Ben Robert's eyes, there are nine out of ten men in the modeling circle, and the rest is also a soft rice man who is scheming to get on top. He didn't think about treating Qiao Shanquan's husband as that kind of person.

And in fact?

He desperately tried to discredit the male model he was despising – most likely a member of the Borromeo family.

Following Qiao Shanquan's flashing eyes to the small building across the street, Ben Robert's face was like ashes, his eyes were covered in a dejected manner, and he collapsed in his chair and was unable to move.

Compared to the Borromeo family, his proud family and background are like the gap between an elephant and an ant.

Sweating coldly, Ben Robert watched as Jo Shanquan put on her sunglasses and stepped on stiletto heels, clattering past her, bringing a gust of wind wafting through her signature sweet scent.

Watch her walk into the bright sunshine, walk across the street, and walk into the red brick building.

His memories overlapped with those of a snowy night months ago.

That night she also left proudly and firmly, without looking back, out of his world.

Ben Robert woke up from a big dream, he knew that she was free and decisive, and that if she said that she was leaving, she really left, leaving no room for anything.

In the studio, the "confession" drama being staged was actually not as smooth as Qiao Shanquan guessed.

Qiao Shanquan stood in the corridor, biting her fingers, wandering back and forth, raising her hand and putting it down.

She couldn't help but lightly bang her head against the iron door.

What was she doing, and when did she become forward-looking and indecisive?

It's all to blame on that bearded man!

If she hadn't looked back when she left, and hadn't just seen the bewilderment and panic in his brown eyes, she wouldn't have been upset by him.

With a snort, Qiao Shanquan left the iron door, stood at the corner of the corridor, leaned against the wall, took out a lady's cigarette and lit it.

The smoke was filled, and the light of the fire flickered between her fingers.

If someone happens to pass by, they will see this proud and stubborn Oriental girl with a broken and lost look on her face.

Raising her head, Qiao Shanquan murmured silently.

"What you get, what you don't get. Why covet? Hey, how do I feel sad about spring? She bent over her knees, staring blankly at a sinuous crack in the concrete floor.

She remembered that when she was a child, there was such a crack in the aisle leading to the door of her house.

At that time, she was even more temperamental than she is now, arrogant and almost arrogant, and belonged to the kind of little girl in the compound who was particularly unpleasant. But who made her look good?

Inheriting all the good bloodlines of her parents, Qiao Shanquan understood when she was a child that being good was also an advantage.

Just be pretty.

Everyone unconsciously let her, spoil her, and get used to her.

But the other people in the compound don't understand why little Qiao Shanquan is still so bad-tempered because she is beautiful, her parents are loving, her work is decent, her manners are extraordinary, and she is an envied family in the compound.

Only Qiao Shanquan herself knows whether she has parents or not, whether she has a home or not, and there is no difference in life.

No one cares if she's alive or dead anyway.

When she was drenched in the rain in order to sew a dress for a doll by hand, and went out in the rain to chase after her father, who had left with a suitcase, and finally fell on the floor in front of her house, she picked at the crack in the ground with her fingers, her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of anything.

She just unconsciously stretched out her arm to try to see if the crack would be cut open by her, revealing the demons and monsters hiding underneath.

“…… Why did I suddenly remember it again. Raising her hand to rub her sour eyes, she shook off a piece of soot and fell on her clothes, and Qiao Shanquan belched distressedly.

It's a shame that this new jumpsuit can't be worn.

She took the accident out of her anger on Pandora's box that shouldn't have been knocked over. Regarding the memories that were covered with a layer of gray rain curtains like ink, Qiao Shanquan had already decided to pack them all up and throw them into the trash can called "Oblivion".

She should be happy, happy for Ferry from the bottom of her heart.

No matter how much the parents and relatives are bastards, they still have the same blood in their bodies.

Blood relations are so simple and crude, there is no choice.

Being able to recognize his father, for the man who is silent and stubborn, has a natural patriarchal concept, and longs for the harmony of his relatives, his mood is probably half panic and expectation, Qiao Shanqun intuitively believed.

He was silent and allowed her to leave the studio for a while, but his eyes were full of retention, his soul was so uneasy, hesitant and weak, trying to ask her to stay and accompany him in the face of what was to come.

Qiao Shanquan thought about it and felt that she was really cold-blooded, she knew that he was silently releasing a message that needed her, but she still chose to turn a blind eye.

"Because I don't know how to deal with my family...... If you want me to accompany you to help you, what should I do? Bearded? 166 Reading Network
