Qiao Shanquan sat on the sofa by the window and drawn.

The man grabbed his phone and walked down from the attic while talking, sat down next to her, grabbed a tuft of long hair scented with roses and played with it.

Pulling back her hair, Qiao Shanquan didn't have time to pay attention to him, and the brush rustled, leaving staggered lines.

Ferry stared intently at her serious face, unable to wait for a response on the other end of the phone: "...... Hey, Mr. Ferry? ”

"I'm here. Now that the person has been found, don't startle the snake first, find a way to scare him away, find someone to keep an eye on him, and see where he will go. Keep in touch with me about the rest of the matter...... The rest of the estate is left to you, Monsieur Antonio. ”

At the end of the call, Ferry took the initiative to explain to her: "I pretended to be seriously injured, and asked you to help me hide it and leave the manor quietly...... Mr. Antonio told me that a worker who had been hired six months ago had found definite evidence of the fact that he had delivered the news of the estate. ”

Qiao Shanquan didn't look very interested, and snorted.

Ferry's eyebrows moved, he didn't like to be ignored by her, and reached for her brush.

"Let go!" Qiao Shanquan impatiently pulled back the pen and poked him with the tip of the pen, "Do me a favor, get those photos in my camera's memory card, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Nope." Ferry crossed his arms and coldly refused, "I've had enough, Georgie. You can only see your design, your brand. ”

The tip of the pen slashes across the paper, destroying the otherwise fluid structure.

Qiao Shanquan raised her head, and a storm was brewing in her eyes: "For me, design and work are more reliable than men. I certainly prioritize them. As for you...... If you don't want to do it, that's okay, I can let someone else do it, like the gentleman who was drinking coffee across the street. ”

At the mention of this, Ferry was even more furious: "Don't mention him!" ”

Ben Robert was very smart.

Every day, he would come to the café across the street from his studio, order a cup of coffee, read the newspaper at a leisurely pace, or use his laptop and mobile phone to do business, coming when the café was open and leaving when it closed.

His outstanding appearance and personable conversation, generous hands and extraordinary clothes attracted many customers to the café.

Although Ban didn't press forward step by step, he came directly to the door as before. But his presence made Ferry more and more short-tempered.

"I know what he's here for. I tell you, don't go near him! Where's your phone, give it to me. Ferry snatched her phone, flipped through the address book, pulled out Ben Robert's name in front of her, and deleted it.

"Are you crazy? Ferry Montero, give me my phone back, damn it! You bastard, you can't touch my stuff without my consent, you are violating my personal * and interfering with my freedom! Qiao Shanquan was completely annoyed by him, and rushed forward to push him hard.

Looking at Qiao Shanquan's anxious expression desperately trying to retrieve the record, a faint cramping pain spread from the depths of Ferry's chest.

"You care so much about him?" Ferrie glared at her fiercely, "Reluctant to delete his contact information so that I can go to see him at any time?" ”

"The way I interact with people, it's not your turn to blame." Qiao Shanquan glanced at him arrogantly, put away her mobile phone, and prepared to go downstairs to the opposite side to ask for the number again.

Ferry stared at her back, his eyes bloodshot, he rushed up and hugged her from behind: "I won't let you go to him, Qiaoqi, you heard me clearly, you are my Ferry Montero's wife!" ”

Qiao Shanquan struggled and threw everything she could reach at him.

"I don't need you to remind me repeatedly! I'm really fed up with your arbitrariness, I'm going to divorce you! ”

"Shut up!" Ferry picked her up with one hand and threw her thump into the couch.

The way he gasped and glared at her with hatred made Qiao Shanquan's heart palpitate, and he looked terrible, as if he was going to pounce on her and tear her apart.

"Don't threaten me with divorce, Georgie. I won't agree, you know? ”

"Why? I have the freedom to get married, and I have the freedom to divorce. You don't care what I want to do! Turning his head willfully, Qiao Shanquan kicked him hard, "You mind if I save the contact information of the class, what about you?" You and Demi...... Hell, everything she did to me made me want to strangle her! ”

"These are two different things. Enough, Georgie! Stop hitting me! Ferrie roared, struggling to grab her wrist with one hand, not letting her continue to push herself, simply crushing her, clamping her calves, using her weight to immobilize.

The two men were panting and glaring at each other.

No one will bow their heads and admit defeat first.

"I've been divorced from Demi for so long, and I've never reached out to her, you know? Georgie, it's completely different from you and Ben Robert......"

"I don't see any difference." Qiao Shan stiffened her mouth and raised her chin unconvincedly, "One is an ex-wife and the other is an ex-boyfriend, why can't I ask for the same fair treatment?" Demi stole and stole too many things from me, I didn't settle accounts with you, and I let you live here with Juan, and you interfered in my private life in turn. Ferry Montero, don't go too far! ”

"You said I'd forgive me when I raised the money you needed." Ferry had a terrible headache, and her temperament was so stubborn that he hated it at times.

"I only promised to give you one chance," Qiao Shanquan looked at him expressionlessly, "Yes, that's right, I used your money, paid liquidated damages, rented this house, and renovated the studio...... Don't worry, I'll give you the money back. Then you pack up your things and get out of front of me. ”

These words made Ferry grit his teeth in anger, and he simply lowered his head and bit her chattering red lips hard.

"I'm not leaving, Georgie, I'm not going to die. I'm not asking you for that money. Damn it...... What a hell of a life, we are husband and wife, my money is your money, this is our common property! Why don't you understand? I want you to treat me and Juan as your family, and don't always rush to dissociate yourself from me. ”

Family.

Qiao Shanquan suddenly fell silent.

Just when she was almost desperate, she didn't think to ask her family for help. And in the end, it was him, the man who turned her world upside down, who reached out without complaint.

If she asks for it, he will give it.

Sell your manor without blinking an eyelid.

It's impossible not to be moved, but Qiao Shanquan is not ready. She wasn't sure she could run a family, she thought she could, but she always got along with him and one person made the other angry, then argued, and then turned her anger into another flame, completely burning.

She wasn't sure if that was what she wanted.

Family life?

The so-called love is easy to get along with, she has witnessed how two loving people come to a desperate situation step by step, and how a happy family falls apart.

How does this make her believe that she can do well?

Not to mention...... Qiao Shanquan smiled bitterly, she couldn't even guarantee that she and Ferry were in love with each other.

How ironic that they are already married, legally married, separated, quarrelling, stumbling and living together.

There is no eternal commitment, no heart-to-heart communication without barriers.

The days passed.

How far will it go? Qiao Shanquan couldn't control her panic. She wanted to hold on to him, to tame him, and so did he, afraid of her leaving, desperate to trap her.

It was a gladiatorial battle without results.

No one will admit defeat.

What will it become in the end...... Who knows?

Ferry didn't know why Qiao Shanquan was silent, he mistakenly thought it was a concession she had made. So he rejoiced, took her in his arms, and gave one fine peck after another.

was kissed with a face, Qiao Shanquan pushed away his face in disgust, and gently kicked him with her toes: "Go away, go, help me process those photos." Also, when I designed, I hated it when people bothered me. ”

Fei Li, who tasted a little sweetness, pressed her hard and lightly again, then let go of her and walked to the corner to turn on the computer.

Staring at the man's busy back, Qiao Shanquan lowered her head, she sighed softly, and started to paint again, with a few brushstrokes, outlining a male body, as if it was a copy of a man.

The two went about their afternoons quietly, and in the evening, the sun was gradually turning red, and the metal bridge of the Manhattan Bridge reflected the golden scale of the river.

Ben Robert came to the door.

Ferrilla opened the door and looked at it, and was about to throw the door open, but Ben Robert hurriedly blocked it with his body and shouted.

"Georgie! I know you're here, and there's something important you need to know right away! ”

Pretending to sort out the data cables, Ferry glanced at the two people who were talking with their heads down from time to time, he watched Ben Robert take out his mobile phone and click it a few times, Qiao Shanquan leaned over to look, and the two heads got closer and closer, closer and closer...... It's almost time to stick together!

He snorted heavily, but didn't respond.

Clearing his throat, Ferry snorted harder.

No, he is the master here, and he should declare his sovereignty.

Flicking the cable, Ferry strode over, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

“…… This is the new autumn and winter collection that AJ Group has just released, and I happen to have a friend at Morgan Stanley, who is evaluating the report of AJ Group listing its apparel division separately, and got the picture of the launch through internal connections. ”

Qiao Shanquan's face sank like water, staring at the pictures on the mobile phone screen silently.

Standing silently behind her, Ferrie was tall and long-legged, his gaze slanted down 45 degrees, and he could see the magnified details. He looked odd and turned his head to look at the metal display in the studio, where the costumes, in color and style, were similar in color and style to those captured on Ben Robert's phone.

He immediately understood.

"Not long ago, J Group's design director Jalent and new designer Demi Ivan came to my place," Qiao Shanquan sneered, and her afterglow swept over Ferry as she softened her tone, "Thank you, Ben." But...... I had long guessed that this would happen. It's not the first time we've stolen ideas from me. They are so accustomed to plundering the fruits of others so easily, and I don't find it strange that they are doing such plagiarism. ”

Ben Robert was surprised: "You're not angry? ”

"Why be angry? What she copied was actually my discarded work," Qiao Shanquan shrugged, her red lips raising a confident smile, "Just take this opportunity, J Group?" I send them two words:. 166 Reading Network
