Qiao Du stood outside the gate of the detention center, looking down at her own shadow on the ground, her thoughts racing.

The already faint light overhead was gone, and a cold air enveloped it, as if it had turned from a pleasant autumn to a snowy land in an instant.

She gasped quietly, and she didn't have to look up to guess who it was, but how could he be here?

The shadow she saw on the other end of the hallway before she came out wasn't hallucinating, was it real?

Why did he come to the detention center?

Could it be that he was with those people in the detention center, and when she met with Brother Yun Shen, he was with them, staring at them behind that hidden camera, eavesdropping on their every move?

Time flows.

Jo Twilight kept her head down, keeping an eye on the top of her feet and the other pair of spotlessly clean black leather shoes that were about to touch her toes.

Until, the man's magnetic and mocking voice sounded in a low and deep voice: "Dumb? ”

"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence, I met you here." Qiao Dui lifted her face abruptly, and a merchant smile appeared like a polite and false smile.

He stood so close to her that his body blocked all her view, and his exquisite handmade black woolen coat with a white shirt and neatly tied black tie exposed at the neckline.

The dark sky, with its faint light, made his tall figure more and more tall and muscular.

Fu Jingchao lowered her dark eyes slightly when she raised her eyes, and there was a bit of thick coldness in her voice: "Is it coincidental? I don't think it's a coincidence. ”

The hint in his tone was too obvious, as if everything in the detention center couldn't escape his eyes, and Qiao Dui's fingers in the coat pocket couldn't help but pinch together, and he didn't rush to answer.

He suddenly raised his arm, and her reflexive side face dodged, but the next second, he saw him lazily arranging the black sheepskin gloves he was wearing on his big hands, staring straight at her with cold eyes, and his smile was gloomy: "What, you thought I would touch your face?" ”

Qiao Dui's fingers were almost twisted, her red lips were pursed very tightly, her face was pressed with anger, and her eyes quickly looked over his side to look at the car parked on the side of the road, it was Qiao's car, and the driver was still waiting for her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I still have something to do." She glanced at him lightly, took two small steps back without a trace, and her feet were already automatically walking in the direction of the car on the side of the road.

The man reached out and easily pulled the girl's departing body back: "The words are not finished yet, where are you going?" ”

Qiao Twilight was pulled by him and almost fell, but in the blink of an eye, she found that her shoulders were bound by his strong arms, although they were wearing a lot of them, and the outside were thick coats, she still felt her slender back hit his hard chest, and her whole body was locked by him, clinging to him.

After being shocked, she was annoyed, and she stared back at him with difficulty, "Fu Jingchao, don't forget, you are the one who has a girlfriend." What are you cuddling and hugging like this? ”

Fu Jingchao's face did not change, her thin lips squirmed behind her ear and said coldly: "Since I am the one who has a girlfriend, why do you climb into my bed, huh?" ”

Bummer!

Qiao Du struggled desperately to no avail, and was about to tremble with anger, why did this man become like this now, he used to be indifferent, but at least he should still have the upbringing and demeanor, but now he has become so despicable and obscene, and he has to mention the body transaction she least wants to mention in front of her all the time.

She won't be as he wants, she has suffered enough humiliation in front of him, she is no longer the Qiao Twilight who wants to rely on him to solve the debt crisis for herself, she is already sober, and she only wants to rely on herself in the future.

Fu Jingchao's eyebrows sank slightly, admiring the constantly changing and alternating emotions on her face, her tentative emotional outburst did not come, but she suppressed her anger, and the whole person was completely silent and calmed down in his arms.

"Fu Jingchao, you like to follow a married woman so much?" She whispered angrily, "Or, do you think that because you are powerful and powerful, you can even lose your face?" ”

He snorted and said slowly: "You and the person surnamed Zhong haven't obtained the certificate yet, what kind of married woman are you?" ”

Qiao Dui's body instinctively tensed, her face turned slightly, she smiled angrily, and her smile was bright: "Okay, it's not a married woman, what about you?" You are a famous person, you are so unscrupulous to hug me in public, you are not afraid of being photographed and uploaded to the Internet? At that point, how will you explain to your girlfriend? How do you explain to both of your parents? ”

Fu Jingchao was indifferent, his voice was lazy, and the irony was very strong: "Even if someone is photographed, what do you think the media will write?" ”

The smile on Qiao Dui's face faded little by little, yes, in front of the public, he was labeled as Yao Qianyu's boyfriend, Qiao's debt crisis is well known, and the media will definitely write that she hooked up with her ex-boyfriend for debt, and the result is that she will be pointed out by Qianfu.

With her current status, it will only further discredit the image of Qiao's Group in the eyes of the public, and it will be very unfavorable to her marketing plan for making Qiao's promotional film and using it to re-establish Qiao's brand image.

She didn't want to see that outcome.

Qiao Du bit her lip and decided to bear the humiliation, then smiled lightly and asked in a softened voice, "What do you want?" ”

"First, I haven't had enough fun, continue to be my woman, second, I'll call you when I need you, you have to pick up, and wait for me at the old place, third......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Dui interrupted him with rapid breathing, "Don't you think about it! Fu Jingchao, what do you think of me, call girl? Do you want me to remind you one more time before you recognize the reality? After a pause, he frowned, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "The transaction between you and me is over, I will not be involved with you again, never!" ”

The two of them acted like this, in such a posture, as if she was his prey, a confinement that could never escape under his palm.

She twisted her body and kept struggling, trying to break free from his grip, the arm around her neck was tightening, she gradually felt her breath being taken away, she couldn't breathe, the world in front of her became darker and darker, and she tried her best to squeeze out the voice: "You...... Pine...... Hand ......"

Suddenly, the man's iron arm loosened, and his black sheepskin gloves still had his knuckle fingers scraping her cheeks, and the lamb's sheepskin was very soft, but it was like a sharp ice blade on her face.

Qiao Du gasped for air, everything around her seemed to turn into a quiet background, only she confronted him, and in anger, she lowered her head and bit down the wrist that appeared between the man's leather gloves and the sleeve of his coat.

She bit hard, using all her strength and emotions to bite, and suddenly felt a strong smell of blood between her lips and teeth.

Fu Jingchao let her bite, didn't even move, of course, she turned her back to him, she couldn't see his expression, she only felt his breath approaching unhurriedly, and Sen Sen's breath sprayed on her sensitive ear: "Finished biting?" If you don't bite enough, continue. When you're done biting, we'll talk about it later. ”

Qiao Du lost the action of continuing to bite, she gritted her teeth, turned her face and instantly forced back the annoyance in her eyes, took a deep breath of cold air, and said lightly: "Mr. Fu, although I am a fledgling newcomer in the business world, at least I still understand a little bit of the rules of negotiation. How do you talk about that? Can you let me go first? ”

Fu Jingchao lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, curled the corners of his lips, and asked in a deep voice: "Answer me a question, and I'll let you go." ”

"What?" She didn't dare to be careless, and asked worriedly.

"A few minutes before you and Qiao Yunshen ended talking, what did he write in your palm?"

"What? I don't understand what you're saying? ”

"Playing stupid?" He sneered.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about, he just shook my hand and didn't write anything." Qiao Dui's heart was alarmed, and her tone did not dare to relax in the slightest, this man was too cunning, she didn't expect his eyes to be so sharp, and he actually saw the hint that Brother Yun Shen gave her.

With her understanding of Brother Yun Shen, Brother Yun Shen would not want her to be related to his drug trafficking, the number he gave her may not be the amount of drugs, it is likely to be something else.

45 and 150.

These two numbers, Brother Yun Shen wrote them separately, and there were a few seconds in between, probably because he didn't want her to feel that they were an overall number.

He didn't say anything, as if thinking about the truth of her words, his breath was mixed with the clear smell of smoke, straight from the side of her cheek into her nose, the weather was wet and cold, and after the two of them writhed, her body grew hotter, and her back began to sweat.

"You'd better not lie to me." Fu Jingchao's gloved fingers scraped her cheek again, light and heavy, and after speaking, he slowly withdrew his arm.

The strength in his shoulders and neck disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Qiao Du breathed a sigh of relief, turning around and standing face to face with him, a distance of about a meter between them.

Fu Jingchao narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at the little woman in front of him, she couldn't call her a little girl anymore, in just a few days, she seemed to have grown up, not only did her hair become shorter, she looked neat and crisp, and even the look between her eyebrows and eyes was no longer as pure and innocent as before, and she had a different style.

This kind of demeanor is the precipitation after experiencing the tempering of the wind and waves, and the tenacity after fading away from the youth and fantasy.

But it's not enough, she still has too many edges and corners on her body, and she hasn't been polished smooth and rounded, so she hasn't become what she should be.

I don't know if it's because of the light, or if his eyes are too deep as the sea, like an impenetrable net covering her breathing.

Qiao Du was stared at by his silent eyes, and her whole body was uncomfortable, and she stepped back again without showing her face.

She kept a sweet smile on her delicate little face, but her eyes were disgusted, and she couldn't avoid looking at his handsome face: "Fu Jingchao, you are a bastard!" Utter big bastard! You said that the previous Fu Jingchao died, I agree, and now what I want to say is that not only the previous Fu Jingchao died, but also the previous Qiao Dui died, so from this moment on, I will no longer have anything to do with you, you and I will not interfere with the river water in the well, and we will not get along with each other in old age! There will be no time in the future! ”

The look on Fu Jingchao's face became gloomy inch by inch, like a dark cloud, and after she finished speaking, she fluttered her wings and ran away quickly.

Qiao Du got into the car parked on the side of the road, patted the driver's seat on the back vigorously, and urged breathlessly: "Hurry up...... Drive fast...... Drive! ”

The driver didn't know what was happening, his hand movements did not stop, and he stepped on the accelerator in one go, and the car rushed forward like an arrow off the string.

The car started, the big stone hanging in Qiao Dui's heart fell to the ground, she looked back from the rearview mirror, just enough to see the position where the two of them were standing before, the man did not catch up, he stood in place, obviously so far away, his figure only had a small black spot, but she inexplicably felt that the aura he exuded seemed so careless, so tidy.

It was as if all her movements were under his expectation and control.

Qiao Du shuddered involuntarily, and then shook his head, how could it be, he couldn't think of this person too deified.

Everyone in the world worships the strong, thinking that being rich and powerful means being superior to others, but in fact, he is a person, and at best he is a despicable and shameless man.

The slender ten fingers involuntarily clenched into fists, that's right, the previous Fu Jingchao died, and the previous Qiao Duan also died, from now on, he took his Yangguan Road, and she crossed her single-plank bridge.

What about the same city, different fields, there is no intersection, he is his big boss, he is a big man who covers the sky with one hand, she does her small business, her first task at present is to revitalize Qiao's, and then become bigger and stronger, things are man-made, she has this confidence.

After seeing Qiao Yunshen come out of the detention center, Qiao Duan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau non-stop, but she didn't dare to let the driver send it, only let the driver stop at the door of the department store, she slipped out of the side door, ran a street, and came to the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

With a scarf covering most of his face, a woolen hat on his head, and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Qiao Du bowed his head and entered the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In the visa hall, Zhong Yezhi brought two assistants by his side, he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and when he saw her come in, he ran over in a few steps, and whispered: "Miss Qiao, did you bring your household registration book?" ”

"Well, I brought it." Qiao Du nodded at him, and the two sat down on the chair in tacit agreement and waited.

When it was their turn to come to the window, the staff glanced at the documents of the two and scanned them into the computer, but the next moment they frowned and threw the household registration books of the two on the counter: "I'm sorry, two, you can't get your marriage certificate." ”

"Why?" Midnight asked unwillingly.

The staff had a good attitude and patiently explained: "This is how the system is here. ”

"What does a system mean? I'm going to talk to your leaders. ”

When it came to looking for a leader, the staff couldn't wait to turn the computer screen in front of them: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go, but even if you are looking for a leader in this situation, you can't do it, this system is one in the country, and everyone is treated equally." ”

Qiao Du and Midnight Zhi saw a rectangular dialog box popping up on the screen at the same time, with a few words written on it: Not to be handled.

"What do you mean you can't handle?" Qiao Du really didn't understand.

"There are many reasons for this, such as bigamy, such as you are related by blood, and the common people know that these two reasons are not to get married." When the staff explained this, they looked at the strange pretenses of the two of them, and their eyes gradually showed a look of disdain: "This is the information age, all systems are networked, I advise you not to have a fluke mentality." ”

Qiao Twilight and Midnight Zhi were dressed strangely, and they looked particularly unusual among the jubilant newlyweds who came to apply for a marriage certificate, and the two staged such a play on the counter again, so many young people raised their mobile phones, and some talked about it.

"Who are these two? How does it sound familiar? ”

"Who does it matter, shoot it first and post it on the Internet."

"Hear no, bigamy or blood relationship can't get a marriage certificate, which one do you say these two people have committed?"

"In my opinion, they cover it so strictly, the ghosts and ghosts worship it, and those who ask questions about the east and west are likely to be related by blood."

"Huh? It's disgusting. How can a brother and sister get married? ”

"But no, I'll just say that now that the world is getting worse, incest can be done, dog man and woman!"

This "dog man and woman" was extremely harsh, Qiao Du hid half of his face under the surround, silently bit his lip, glanced at Zhong Yezhi, and secretly discussed: "What now?" ”

"Let's go back first." Midnight Zhi looked at her helplessly, his arm was weakly protecting her, and in a terrible discussion, the two of them quickly went out from the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Outside in the car, Qiao Du pulled down the scarf and sunglasses on her face, she had an ominous premonition in her heart, since the staff said that it could not be done, she felt that there was an invisible hand secretly manipulating them.

Before she could, though, she had to make sure of one more thing with Midnight.

"You're married?"

"Nope." Midnight Zhi gave a negative answer: "If I had been married, I would not have been stupid enough to get a marriage certificate with you." ”

Why is that?

The answer that vaguely surfaced in Qiao Dui's heart was about to come out, but in front of him, she couldn't call to ask for verification.

The marriage certificate was not obtained, and the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate.

Midnight Zhi's car took her to the door of the department store, and Qiao's car was still parked in the old place waiting for her.

Before Qiao Du got out of the car, Midnight asked her: "Miss Qiao, this matter is very strange, I think it may be you, what do you think?" ”

Qiao Dui's hand on the car door tightened, didn't admit it, and didn't deny it: "I know, I'll deal with this matter, I'm sorry to cause you to run for nothing." ”

"I don't care." Midnight shrugged his shoulders absently and looked at her a few times: "It's you, are you okay?" I feel like you're a bit distracted. ”

Qiao Du pulled a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I've been too busy recently and haven't rested well." After speaking, she waved to him politely: "I'll go first, let's contact the phone for details." ”

Back in the car, Qiao Du was thinking about what happened in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau all the way, feeling like a street rat being driven out by a burst of disdainful voices.

Damn it.

Obviously, she and Zhong Yezhi have no bigamy, and they are not related by blood, but the relationship between the two is vaguely classified into this category in the system.

It's clear that there are ghosts behind it.

This person, do you still need to talk about it?

The more Qiao Du thought about it, the more angry she became, the more angry she became, and she was so angry that she almost lost her breath.

She grabbed her phone angrily, flipped through the phone number at once, and stopped the moment her finger clicked at the end.

No way!

She can't be impulsive.

What's the use of looking for him?

Even if he admits it, what can she do with him?

At best, she was angry and angry, and the ending still couldn't be changed.

Perhaps, he wished that she would go to him, just thinking that he would wait for her to fall into the net.

She's not stupid.

It won't be as he hopes.

He really thought he was a Yama who could cover the sky with one hand?

She doesn't believe in this evil, there are people outside the people, there are mountains outside the mountains, and she will always find a solution.

At this time, the more anxious she is, the easier it is to fall into the trap and fall for him.

She can't be in a hurry, she must be calm, she must be calm.

If you can't do things in a hurry, you will only do bad things.

She is not young anymore, she can no longer act impulsively as before, she has to think more about everything and then do it.

After calming down completely, Qiao Du put the phone back in her bag and closed her eyes to recuperate.

There was a lot to do today, and she got up early in the morning, so she took advantage of this time to catch up on her sleep and get out of the car in good spirits.

In the morning, ten o'clock, Qiao's Group building.

It was the first day of the new year, and the first time she had officially started work since taking office, and everything was full of freshness and infinite possibilities.

Qiao Du held the first regular meeting of the senior management, discussed some of the next marketing plans, tracked the progress of the design department, and read the plan for the promotional video submitted by the advertising agency.

Everything looks orderly and vibrant.

It's busy, but it's fulfilling.

Busy until the afternoon, at four o'clock, Qiao Du got off work early and rushed to the film and television city.

Today is also the time for the movie "Yuanhai" to start, so I asked the crew for leave in advance and arranged for her role to officially start filming at 5 pm.

Qiao Du still remembers being scolded by Director Hu last time she turned on the camera, this time she learned to be obedient, let Lu Xiaomeng go to the set in advance, and ordered a five-star hotel meal and boxes of rare tropical fruits to distribute to everyone.

The so-called short hands and soft mouths, Qiao Dushan arrived on the set late at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the staff greeted her warmly one by one, and even Director Hu's face was a little better.

The actor Zhong Yezhi wore a camel-colored coat, and his hair was very well groomed like an old Shanghai young master, sitting in a folding chair reading the script, and two assistants next to him served.

The two had only met in the morning, and Midnight Zhi only glanced at Qiao Dui's arrival, and his attitude was like his usual behavior, wild and untamed.

Qiao Twilight was a lot more relaxed, it would be strange if he showed warmth with her in front of everyone, it would be best, and he would not be familiar with it on the set or in public.

Reality is always more complex than imagined.

Qiao Dui's first scene was filmed, it went very smoothly, I don't know if she is now reborn or she is a little familiar with Zhong Yezhi in private, in short, she cooperated with him without the pressure of being with Wu Yi, she was very relaxed, devoted herself to the role, and the effect was naturally very good.

Director Hu sat behind the monitor, and saw that Qiao Du and Midnight Zhi were very well performed in the first scene, and shouted "card" loudly.

The on-site staff began to be busy, the makeup artist touched up the makeup of the male and female protagonists, the prop master was busy sorting out the props, the lighting engineer was also adjusting the lighting, the radio engineer holding a long microphone was also adjusting the equipment, and everyone was busy preparing for the next scene.

Even Director Hu was staring intently at the monitor, watching the playback.

Only a figure sitting next to Director Hu was motionless, and this person was Bai Yan.

Bai Yan came early this morning, the first scene was hers, without the heroine Qiao Dui, she enjoyed the treatment of the heroine all day, and when Qiao Duan came, she instantly felt lost, angry, and crazy, and the whole person was like a broken doll and was forgotten in the corner.
