The Manhattan Bridge spans both sides of the East River.

The headlights converge like a stream of fire, shuttling back and forth.

On Ninth Avenue, Qiao Shanquan and Ferry stood on the roof of the building, staring at each other in silence.

"Are you crazy? Why sell the manor, that's the only thing your grandfather left to your mother and you! ”

"Since it's mine, of course I have the right to decide what to do with it, whether to continue the business or sell it to someone else, it's my choice."

Ferry frowned, unwilling to continue to talk about the matter. He avoided her sharp gaze and continued to drink with his head down.

"So, you're fighting back with this attitude now, protesting that I shouldn't suspect you and drive you away?" Qiao Shanquan seemed to realize something, and she snatched the beer bottle from his hand and forced him to look at herself.

Faced with her persistent and fearless expression, Ferry suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny. ”

Shaking his head, Ferry wiped the corners of his mouth, suddenly grabbed her shoulder, pressed her against the red brick wall, and lowered his head with burning eyes.

"I see, you're jealous."

"Jealousy?" Qiao Shanquan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, "No kidding, you feel too good about yourself, bearded." ”

"Otherwise, how would you explain your previous attitude and actions, huh?" Ferry chuckled, his majestic body close to her, skillfully rubbing against her soft skin after bathing.

Qiao Shanquan was rubbed by him and a fire rose in her lower abdomen, she was gradually familiar with the feeling of being aroused by him, she felt that her legs were losing strength, and the more secret places were quietly spreading with shameful wetness, she blushed and pushed him: "Enough, do you think I like you?" ”

"Isn't it?" Ferrie lightly bit her ear, in exchange for a weak gasp.

"Please define what it means to like...... Oh, damn it, bearded don't rub me with your beard, it's so itchy, hmm........."

While she was distracted, Ferry took her lower lip in her mouth, tossed and sucked, and then stepped back slightly, and with a pair of misty black eyes, she impatiently came up, stroked the roots of his hair hard, kissed him passionately, and did not let him leave.

Not intending to go against his good luck, Ferry immediately threw himself into a long and passionate deep kiss, and in the interval between breaths, Qiao Shanquan wrapped her long legs around his waist and took the initiative to step forward.

"Hurry up, don't grind."

was thrilled by her eyes, the man pressed her fiercely, bit her lip and hummed: "So anxious, you want me to make you cry, huh?" ”

"Nonsense, who cried...... Yes! The smile quickly shattered, and she tilted her head and bit her lip......

Oh, wheezing, mixed with the man's repeated whispered love words, entangled into a nocturne, played until dawn.

Ferry thought she had worked hard all night and that she would forget what had happened.

After opening his eyes, Qiao Shanquan immediately grabbed his ear, half pressed it on his chest, and out of nowhere he took out a pair of scissors, and made a few threatening gestures in front of him.

"Tell the truth! What happened to Montero Manor now? ”

With his arms behind his head, Ferry lay down in a comfortable position, looking at her with a smile: "I thought you hated being there." ”

It was the place where they met, and it was also the place where she had wanted to stay for the rest of her life, how could she be willing to hate it? As long as she thought of the hateful man in front of her, who sold the manor without consulting her, Qiao Shanquan was so angry in her heart that she really wanted to stab him with scissors and splash his blood three feet with a mistake.

"If I don't sell the estate, how can I get enough money in a short period of time? You said, if I can get money, you'll give me a chance. Maybe in three years, under normal circumstances, I will be able to scrape together such a sum of money for you. But, dear Georgie, I don't want to wait, and I don't dare to wait. How many variables will there be in three years? Your gaze will turn to others, and your world will no longer leave room for me. So...... I have to do that, you know? ”

Dingding looked at Ferry's beautiful brown eyes, which now turned into a deep almost hazel color, so bright that Qiao Shanquan didn't dare to look at them directly.

"I don't understand!" Qiao Shanquan sniffed, flipped off him, ruffled her long hair, and strode into the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, hot water hitting her, Qiao Shanquan looked at herself in the mirror through the hazy white mist.

Why did he do it because of what she said casually?

Sold his huge estate, and the housekeepers, workers, and cowboys whom he regarded as his family?

Did he think about the consequences of doing so?

Damn, why did she feel that such irrational actions of men moved her a little?

After taking a shower, Qiao Shanquan was unusually silent, refused to let him approach, and turned on the hair dryer to dry her long hair.

In the rumbling voice, Qiao Shanquan sighed softly.

"You're doing this right into the hands of Uncle Russell and their family. They must have died of joy. ”

Ferry's eyebrows twitched, and he sat down in front of her, raising his hand to ruffle her long, half-dried hair.

"Yes, as soon as I released the news, many people came to me and asked me if it was true." The man smiled disapprovingly, "Uncle Russell, they are the most active, desperately clamoring that the manor is a wealth that belongs to the Montero family, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere. ”

"It's really their family's style, so ...... You mean, the money for renting this floor, and the money for the subsequent purchases, was given by Russell? Qiao Shanquan made a disgusted expression.

Funnily pinching her face, Ferry replied, "Someone is in a hurry to deliver money, aren't you happy?" ”

"I'm happy, I'm so happy." Dodging his fingers, Qiao Shanquan smirked and bared her teeth at him.

Ferry shook his head and decided not to tell her the full truth. The land area of Montero Manor is too large, and there are many industries involved, and Russell's family does not have so much cash on hand, so they can only scrape together and buy half of the land with him first. The most profitable horses, organic farming and the main body of the estate, which they cannot afford and are trying to figure it out.

He went out yesterday to settle the property with the lawyer and representative sent by Russell, and the three most profitable hotels and supermarket chains in Russell's hands were transferred to him for the part that was not enough for cash.

As for the rest...... Ferry made an agreement with the Russell family that they would have to buy it from him at the market price within three months. If you can't get the money together, the transaction will be cancelled.

I don't know what the Russell family thinks, in the face of such harsh conditions, they didn't hesitate and agreed.

Ferry was thinking about this in his heart, and thought that he would have to take the time to fly back again, arrange the manpower, guard the pasture and the fields, and maintain the normal operation of the manor.

Looking at Qiao Shanquan again, she continued to deal with the preparation of the studio as usual, and Fei Li did not mention the sale of the manor again, so as not to spoil her good mood.

※※※

Taking advantage of the good weather, Qiao Shanquan asked Ferry to help her move the sewing machine and fabric downstairs, and she cleaned up the workbench used to make the samples, spread out the design artwork, flattened the fabric, and painted the lines.

Juan has started online pre-school education, with 3 hours of distance learning every day.

He finally waited for the end of the class, and immediately rushed downstairs, curiously lying next to Qiao Shanquan, seeing her lying on the workbench with a focused expression, Juan didn't dare to alarm her, turned around and ran to his father's side.

"Daddy, what is this?"

Ferry bit the nail and pounded a twisted piece of iron.

Topless, he casually slipped on a pair of overalls, pulled a nut out of one pocket, and screwed the nail in.

"Make a display stand, don't touch those sharp things, go over there and stay there." The man Nunu lowered his chin and asked casually, "How was today's lesson?" In a short time, I'll be sending you to school. ”

Juan grimaced and kicked a wooden block on the ground with his toes: "I don't like the woman who wants to be called a teacher." I don't want to go to school either. ”

Qiao Shanquan raised her head and smiled at him encouragingly: "That's not good, doesn't Juan want to be a brave little man?" It's just going to school, and I'm sure you can overcome all the problems. When the time comes, I'll make you a beautiful new outfit for you to wear to school, okay? ”

Tilting his head and trying to imagine the scene, Juan turned his worries into joy: "Okay, I'm going to wear a new dress made by Qiaoqi!" ”

Ferry walked over and patted his son on the head. The clumsy scissors became extremely dexterous in Qiao Shanquan's hands, moving smoothly, cutting the fabric to the way she wanted.

She was engrossed and stood in front of her workbench all the time, not daring to be distracted. The kung fu should be fast, steady and accurate, once the beginning is started, it cannot be stopped, just like composing a movement, all the notes keep jumping and circling, running throughout, giving life to it.

Soon, Qiao Shanquan's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she blinked, trying to squeeze a bead of sweat that fell on her eyelashes.

Ferry held up the towel and carefully wiped it off for her.

"You've been standing motionless for three hours, can you hold on?"

"No problem." Qiao Shanquan raised a confident smile.

She wanted to launch her own brand before the launch of the new season of AJ Group.

The reason is simple, she needs to slap the other hard with a beautiful appearance.

Let everyone know that she left AJ Group to get rid of the shackles and spread her wings. Without AJ Group, designer Qiao Qi is still the amazing Qiao Qi. And without Qiaoqi's AJ Group......

While Qiao Shanquan was working day and night, sewing one sample after another by hand, Jalent called Demi into her office.

He threw a stack of blueprints in front of Demi and sneered, "This is what you're planning to launch next season?" ”

Demi looked nervous, and she wrung her fingers: "Is there something wrong?" I drew it based on the information left by the previous designer. The new season intends to use unrestrained Indian style as a selling point to highlight the sexy side of the urban elite......"

"I asked you to see the style of previous seasons, I didn't say I wanted you to do it as it was, just copy it exactly! When Georgie is there, she is able to maintain the brand's usual style, but also constantly present new changes, perfectly integrating different themes into the design. As a result, your design has become a complete smorgasbord of elements that have been there in the past, and you want everyone to see our AJ Group jokes? ”

Facing the man's cruel gaze, Demi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, could he see through something? No, it can't be, she did it flawlessly, and secretly disposed of the surveillance footage...... No one will know what she has done.

Just when Demi's mind went blank, Jalent slowly sat back in his chair, he folded his hands and looked at her with a scrutinizing attitude: "A week, I'll only give you a week." Ten days later, the editor-in-chief will come to the group headquarters, and when the time comes, I hope that you will no longer take out this kind of garbage...... Do you understand? ”

With a shudder, Demi stared at the man with a gloomy expression, he looked so high, her legs were weak, she fell to the ground, and responded weakly: "I...... I see......"

Jalent smiled contemptuously and raised his chin to signal her to come over.

Demi bit her lip, resisted reluctance and disgust and fear, kneeled in front of him, unchained her trousers with trembling hands, and buried her head...... 166 Reading Network
