Qiao Du nodded, stood up calmly, and after sweeping every face, he said in a clear voice: "I am very grateful to all the directors for their continuous support to my work, I don't want to talk much today, only one sentence, from today I officially submit my resignation to the board of directors, thank you!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she sat down quietly.

Unexpectedly, her fluttering words stirred up a thousand waves on the board.

At this time, each director held the creative plan of the new product launch conference that had just been sent to them, and after just a few glances, they intuitively concluded that the plan was very novel and perfect, and the response was not even worse than the previous season, at least not worse.

The directors couldn't figure it out, okay, why Qiao Du suddenly said that he was going to resign.

Could it be because of Qiao Yuanjing's appearance?

Previously, the directors had heard rumors about the father and daughter, saying that the father and daughter had long been in two hearts, and they no longer had the mutual trust relationship that Qiao Du had when he first took office.

Just now, Jian Pei mentioned it, saying that Qiao Yuanjing had regained the equity, that is to say, the equity in Qiao Dui's hands was recaptured, and maybe this was the key to Qiao Dui's resignation.

One mountain does not allow two tigers!

All the directors analyzed this and understood it, and no one had any objections.

After waiting for two minutes, no one in the huge conference room spoke, which was expected, the corners of Qiao Du's lips overflowed with a sarcastic smile, closed the plan in front of him, and got up indifferently and said, "I'm done with what I want to say, farewell!" ”

Everyone didn't expect her to leave so quickly, for a while you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

Qiao Du finished cleaning up and walked out of the conference room directly, the secretary Jiang Man followed closely, and when she returned to the office in one breath, Wei Ju hurriedly knocked on the door and came in.

Qiao Twilight found a cardboard box and was putting his personal belongings in it, and when she saw him, she was surprised and asked, "Why did you come out?" ”

"I just submitted my resignation to the boardroom." Wei Ju spread his hands nonchalantly.

Qiao Du twisted her eyebrows: "How do you know that I will submit my resignation to the board of directors?" He learned that she handed in his resignation, which only showed that he had written it beforehand.

"I've been with you for so long, and I think I still know a lot about your temper."

Qiao Duan bit her lip and shook her head slowly: "You shouldn't learn from me, I'm an emotional person, easy to be impulsive, you are not, with your character, you will not do such impulsive things." ”

"I can see it." Wei Ju didn't explain much about her resignation, but continued what she said earlier: "Otherwise, this morning's incident wouldn't have made you so angry and did such an irrational thing." ”

Qiao Dui's hand sorting out the items stopped, and a wordless sourness suddenly welled up in his eyes: "I know that for the sake of the overall situation, it is very irrational for me to make this kind of decision, but I can't control myself. ”

"I understand that at this point, you, like me, cannot see betrayal, especially betrayal by those closest to you." Wei Ju lowered his head and his voice was lonely.

It was rare to see him like this, and Qiao Duan couldn't help but ask: "Is this the reason why you don't want to take over the Qimeng Group and insist on breaking out outside?" ”

Wei Ju smiled, with a contemptuous sneer from the corner of his eyes to his tone: "That's true, I'm tired of the infighting of the big family, endlessly, for the sake of status, power, and money, even the closest people can be used and betrayed. ”

This kind of Wei Ju makes people know that they have been injured as soon as they hear it, and Qiao Du has a feeling of sympathy, and is silent for a while to tidy up things.

Wei Ju is right, she can withstand Qiao Xinyi and Fu Zhixing's calculations, she can withstand the prejudice and doubts of the outside world that she is not qualified to be Qiao's CEO, and she can withstand all kinds of infamy, but she can't stand being betrayed by the people closest to her.

This is her weakness.

Even if she has been cultivating in the mall for decades, it is always what she cares about and can't bear the most.

Today in Qiao's house, she witnessed three knives being inserted into her, the most ruthless being the one in the back, from the man she loved.

"Mr. Qiao." Secretary Jiang Man hurriedly walked in, and saw that Qiao Du was packing up his things, and he didn't care about the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, so he said bluntly: "You really resigned and want to leave?" The new product plan for the next season is what you are grasping with one hand, are you really willing to walk away like this? With all due respect, even if you're leaving, it's time to finish what you're doing and leave, and it's never too late to leave when the new CEO takes office. ”

Qiao Duan didn't speak, Wei Ju spoke on her behalf, turned to Jiang Man and said, "Secretary Jiang, don't blame you for not understanding the relationship, you were also in the conference room just now, did you see Qiao Yuanjing's reaction after Miss Qiao proposed to resign?" From the time she sat down to the time she left, did he not say a word? Didn't do retention? ”

Jiang Man was stunned: "Vice President Wei, what do you mean ......?"

"Miss Qiao is going to walk in Qiao Yuanjing's expectations today, you have not been in the company for a short time, you should understand that Qiao Yuanjing is a person who likes to grasp power, since he has returned to the company's largest shareholder, how can he be willing to lose power? Even if Miss Qiao doesn't leave today, he will definitely find a way to squeeze her away in the days to come, and then the situation will be ugly. ”

Jiang Man seemed to understand.

Wei Ju glanced at Qiao Dui, she resigned at the same time as him, it must have caused a shock within the group, anyway, it was fine, he simply explained the matter more clearly, so that Jiang Man could be used as a mouthpiece, so as to explain to the people below why they suddenly resigned.

When it came to this, Jiang Man had nothing to say, and said politely: "Mr. Qiao, Vice President Wei, it is the honor of us to be secretaries to work with you, and it is really unpredictable to expect to be separated so soon." ”

"It's okay, everyone can get together in the future if they have time in private." Wei Ju replied in place of Qiao Dui.

Jiang Man left with regret.

In the office, Qiao Du quietly packed her things, her personal belongings were not much, and it didn't take ten minutes to clean up, looking up at Wei Ju: "Aren't you going to clean up?" ”

"I don't have anything, I can go directly, this is too heavy, I'll help you carry it." Wei Ju took the cardboard box from her hand and walked out with her.

Qiao Duan pressed the elevator and didn't move, Wei Ju pressed it, and the same was true.

This exclusive elevator is identified with fingerprints, and there is only one reason for the sudden failure.

The two exchanged glances with each other, Qiao Dui hooked his lips, and laughed mockingly in his voice: "I didn't expect to ban you and me so soon, Qiao Yuanjing is really prepared." ”

"It's okay, it's the same with the employee elevator." Wei Ju walked to the other end and pressed the elevator.

After stepping into the elevator, he asked her, "What's next?" ”

Qiao Du glanced at her watch, it was only ten o'clock, and there were still three hours before one o'clock in the afternoon to the moonlight pier, just enough to do something.

Seeing her smiling and silent, Wei Ju didn't chase and asked, and said directly: "You shouldn't be driving, where do you want to go, my car will send you." ”

Qiao Du thought that Fu Jingchao had said before that Fu Chengrui had been in retreat at home for the past two days, and it was estimated that he would not be available to come out when she asked him to do so, so he simply went to him.

"Go to Liuliwan."

On the way, Wei Ju pressed the radio, and the beautiful voice of the hostess poured out: "The latest news, the actress Qiao Xinyi, who is suspected of many criminal cases, has added another criminal hammer, and many artists in her studio have reported that her studio is suspected of tax evasion." Previously, actress Qiao Xinyi had been approved by the police for arrest, and this matter was also considered to be worse, and the retribution for Qiao Xinyi's complete downfall ......"

Qiao Du listened as quietly as water.

Wei Ju looked at her several times and didn't talk to her about the topic.

At eleven o'clock, Maybach stopped outside the gate of the Liuliwan villa area.

"Let's get here, I'll walk in by myself." Qiao Twilight lowered her head to unbuckle her seatbelt and pulled her arm with a strong force.

"Are you going to Moonlight Pier at one o'clock in the afternoon?"

She was stunned at first, and then asked, "How do you know?" ”

"I want to go with you and protect you." Wei Ju's handsome face looked serious and serious.

"I don't understand, I told that person repeatedly, how could I leak the news?"

"The high seas are very dangerous, not only pirates, but also unpredictable weather, if there is no one to protect you, you are a weak girl floating alone on the sea, it is very likely that you will have your life and not return, not to mention that you are pregnant!"

Qiao Du bit her lip, "You mean, even if I don't take you, you'll follow, right?" ”

Wei Ju nodded affirmatively: "Yes." ”

"Tell me, then, where I'm going?"

"I don't know."

"You must know." Qiao Du stared into his eyes and said affirmatively, "Is it related to Aaron?" ”

A complex color flashed in Wei Ju's eyes, and at this moment, Qiao Dui's mobile phone rang.

Caller: Fu Chengrui.

rarely received a call from Fu Chengrui, Qiao Duan was happy for a while, and couldn't help blurting out his nickname: "Rui'er, I just wanted to find you, but I didn't expect your call to come." ”

Fu Chengrui was quiet and said, "He said you have something to look for me." ”

This him, Qiao Du reacted that it was Fu Jingchao, thought for a while and said, "Yes, I have something I want to talk to you about, are you at home now?" Can you take a trip? ”

"Grandparents are at the uncle's villa opposite, you can come in." Fu Chengrui said.

Qiao Du didn't hesitate: "Okay." ”

Walking to Villa 8, Qiao Du met Xiao Tao after entering the door, "Is there anyone else at home?" ”

"No, the little master is in the gym, and the master and the lady are in the villa opposite the second young man." Xiao Tao looked curiously at Qiao Dui, who was holding the cardboard box in her arms, and couldn't help but ask more.

Joe bowed her head, took a deep breath, and walked inside.

She just walked to the living room after changing her shoes, Fu Chengrui, who heard the voice, came out of the innermost, the little guy didn't seem to have grown taller again after a few days, his temperament was even colder, he was wearing a black sweatshirt, his pink face was full of sweat beads, he only nodded lightly when he saw her, wiped his sweat with the white towel around his neck, and waited for her to speak.

"Little Ruirui, I heard your dad say that you decided to participate in the competition, why are you in such a hurry? You've only just been a student, and you're young, so is it too early to join the competition? Qiao Twilight tried her best to cut to the topic of the chat with a tactful and gentle voice.

Fu Chengrui probably didn't expect her to say this, his sweaty hands slowed down, and his thin little lips were pursed tightly, as if he didn't want to say.

"Can you tell me why?" Qiao Du saw him like this, and felt more and more that it was related to him: "Is it because you want to grow up quickly, surpass your father, and protect me instead of him?" ”

Fu Chengrui's eyes contracted like he was talking, he didn't open his handsome little face, and squeezed out two words from his throat: "No." ”

Clearly, it is.

Qiao Du didn't understand her son's thoughts, she clenched her fists and called the little guy who was leaving quickly, her voice trembling and trembling: "Rui'er, you are obedient, don't participate in the competition, your fists and feet have no eyes, you are so small, you will be hurt." I didn't beg you, but this time I'll beg you, don't play, give up the game, okay? ”

Fu Chengrui shook his head silently, his steps were fast, seeing that he was about to go into the gym again, Qiao Dui hurriedly caught up: "Rui'er, you listen to your mother, don't go, your mother doesn't want to see you injured......

Mom......

Fu Chengrui turned around in astonishment, and his big black grape-like eyes stared at her: "You...... What did you say? ”

"I'm a mother, I'm your mother." Jo Twilight sobbed and muttered, not wanting to keep it a secret anymore, she only knew that if she didn't stop him, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life if he got injured during the game or had a few accidents.

Almost all mothers in the world will do anything to protect their cubs, and so does she.

She owed him too much, and she didn't want to add any more regrets.

"I ...... You ......" Fu Chengrui was incoherent, frightened by the sudden truth, and looked at Qiao Dui's face blankly, "You...... Are you telling the truth? Yes...... What credentials? ”

"I have a paternity certificate, which was secretly made by your father from my hair and yours before, and it should still be in the dresser drawer in the upstairs bedroom, if you don't believe it, I'll look for it now." Qiao Du looked at Fu Chengrui's surprised expression, mixed joy, and hurriedly wanted to go upstairs to find the paternity test report.

"Wait...... Wait! Fu Chengrui spoke up, Qiao Duan had already walked to the first step of the stairs, turned back to the little guy's teary eyes, and suddenly felt uncontrollable: "Rui'er, it's really me, I'm really your mother, I gave birth to you seven years ago, it was Qiao Xinyi who bought the doctor and lied to me that you died, and then she took advantage of my coma to take you away and sold it to Fu Zhixing, Fu Zhixing took you to your father and lied to him that it was she who gave birth to your father, and this child is you." This is the reason why you don't have a mother all these years, your mother didn't die, she didn't die in childbirth, she lived well, she was my ......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't cry anymore, and Fu Chengrui was already in tears, and suddenly a small figure rushed towards her.

Qiao Du stretched out her arms and hugged this little body, this little life that she was stimulated to give birth prematurely seven years ago, this is the first time they have recognized each other in seven years, so touching, magical, and warm.

"Good, Rui'er, you are good, mom is so happy, I thought you would be angry with me after you knew that I was your mother, angry that I hadn't recognized you all these years......" Qiao Du hugged the little guy, looked up and wanted to wipe her tears, and suddenly, she seemed to see several figures standing at the entrance of the living room in her blurred vision.

Qiao Du wiped away the tears in front of her eyes and saw the expressions of each of them clearly, Fu Ce and his wife looked shocked, Fu Zhixing looked pale, and Fu Sichen looked playful.

She gently patted Fu Chengrui's back, and the little guy turned his face, wiped away the tears on his face, and grabbed Qiao Dui's hand and refused to let go.

Qiao Du saw that he was pulling her to go upstairs, she couldn't help but follow, but Fu Ce said loudly: "Stop, Rui'er, I have something to talk to Miss Qiao, you go up first." ”

"She's my mother, you can't hurt her." Fu Chengrui protectively protected Qiao Du behind him.

"Rui'er, don't worry, with your uncle's guarantee, it's okay to keep it." Fu Sichen took a few steps over and grabbed Fu Chengrui's shoulders and pulled the little guy up to the second floor: "You just finished boxing, and you were sweating, so you just went up to take a shower." By the time you're done washing, they're pretty much done, and it's just time to have lunch together, and it's not too late for you to catch up with your mom. ”

Fu Chengrui looked back at Qiao Dui's face at the bottom of the stairs worriedly, she nodded at him, and smiled, and he was a little relieved.

It wasn't until Fu Chengrui went up that the footsteps and figure were gone, and Fu Ce, who had a straight face, spoke, but not to Qiao Dui, but to Fu Zhixing next to him, and asked majestically: "What's going on?" Why does Qiao Twilight also say that she is Rui'er's mother? Aren't you Rui'er's mother? It's you who admit it! Are you lying, or is Jo Twilight lying? Say! ”

"Second uncle, I'm ......" Fu Zhixing's shoulders shook in fright, and she couldn't finish her speech.

Fu's mother was anxious: "Zhixing, your second uncle and I both treat you as our own daughter, this matter is not trivial, you have to tell the truth!" ”

Fu Zhijing was silent, and she didn't dare to say anything.

"I'll tell you." Qiao Du came down the stairs, walked straight to Fu Ce and his wife, and unhurriedly told all the events of the year.

Fu Ce and his wife have watched the news in the past few days and know that Qiao Duan was framed by his sister Qiao Xinyi back then, but they didn't expect that the man who slept with Qiao Duan in the hotel back then would be their eldest son, and they didn't expect that Rui'er came here like this.

After listening to everything, Fu Ce and his wife were stunned for a long time.

"Second uncle, second aunt......" Fu Zhixing burst into tears and knelt down in front of the two: "It's me who is not good, you forgive me, I really didn't want to lie to you...... I really didn't know that Qiao Dui was Rui'er's mother, Qiao Xinyi didn't tell me about it back then, and I was also a victim and was kept in the dark......"

"Smack!" Fu's mother raised her hand and gave Fu Zhixing a slap: "You still have the face to say that you are a victim, do you know that you have hidden so much from us!" We have always treated you as our own daughter, what about you, you have repeatedly lied to us, where is the existence of us in your eyes, you are an unscrupulous woman, get out, you get out! From now on you are not welcome in this home, you roll! ”

Fu Zhixing was beaten so much that her eyes were full of stars, and she retreated and fell to the ground, covering her hot cheeks, not daring to defend herself again.

Qiao Xinyi's liar deceived her, and said that she would give her the remaining tens of millions to fly away, but the money was not gotten yet, but Qiao Xinyi was arrested by the police and her whereabouts are unknown.

"I told you to get out, didn't you hear? Get lost! Fu's mother screamed, her eyes as if she was going to eat her alive.

Fu Zhixing got up in a panic, the hero didn't eat the loss in front of her, she could avoid it.

"Wait!" Fu Ce's deep voice suddenly stopped her, "Whoever allowed you to go, kneel down for me!" ”

Fu Zhixing dared not listen, and slowly turned around and knelt down again.

"Go, apologize to Miss Qiao, ask for her forgiveness, if she doesn't forgive, you don't want to enter the Fu family's house again in this life, you are not the daughter of my Fu family."

As soon as Fu Ce finished speaking, Fu Zhixing gasped, looked at Fu Ce incredulously, dared to be angry for a while, and instantly cried and moved to Qiao Du in a kneeling way, and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly: "Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao...... When I was young, I was confused, and I made a big mistake, and I was not good...... It's my fault, please forgive me for Rui'er's sake, for the sake of treating him as my own over the years...... You must forgive me......"

Qiao Du looked at Fu Zhixing, who was kneeling in front of him and groveling, almost kowtowing to apologize, bent down and approached his face and said, "Do you regard Rui'er as your own?" The year before last, someone kidnapped you and Rui'er, and the other party asked you to choose one of Rui'er to stay as hostages, why did you choose Rui'er to stay and you escaped? ”

Fu Zhixing's whole person was like being stung by a bee, and she looked at Qiao Du stiffly and sluggishly.

Qiao Du exhaled like ice and continued, "If it weren't for you, would Rui'er have aphasia?" ”

The big shock was Fu Ce and his wife, who had been kept in the dark: "What? Is Rui'er's aphasia because of Zhixing? Is this true? ”

Qiao Du didn't answer, her eyes stared at Fu Zhixing coldly, Fu Zhiyun had already been paralyzed in fright, this secret had passed for two years, and she didn't expect it to be told by Qiao Du today, everyone knew what kind of weight Rui'er was in the minds of Fu Ce and his wife, if they knew that Rui'er had aphasia because of her......

Fu Zhixing suddenly didn't dare to think about it, she quickly looked left and right, suddenly stood up and ran towards the door quickly, the speed caught the people present off guard.

"Absconded in fear of sin! Catch her for me, catch her! Fu Ce jumped like thunder and pointed at Fu Zhixing's back and shouted, there were orderly soldiers waiting at the door, when he heard this, he didn't know what was going on inside, and when he saw Miss Fu running out, he thought it was a small family dispute, and hesitated for a while.

Fu Zhixing took the opportunity to jump faster, jumping out of the house in a few clicks, through the courtyard, running towards the gate, as long as she ran out, her car was outside, and she could escape without a trace like a wild horse.

Victory was in sight, Fu Zhixing showed a triumphant smile on her face, but before she could laugh, suddenly a figure blocked the way, she was too late to brake, she hit it headlong, and then rebounded back and sat on the lawn.

After all, Fu Ce was old, and he was panting with the orderlies, and pointed angrily at Fu Zhixing's figure and said, "Give it to me...... Catch her for me! ”

Fu Zhixing's scalp was numb, and she was about to open the small door next to her and rush out, but the collar was grabbed by Fu Jingchao, who was quick-eyed, and thrown out like a sack.
