At the door of the café, Qiu Yinong saw Lin Qiaoying sitting in the corner at a glance, without the delicate hair that showed her temperament, did not apply grease and powder to her face, and even had no lipstick, she was dressed in the most ordinary clothes, looking no different from a middle-aged woman of this age on the street.

Five years have passed, Lin Qiaoying has not seen her again since the fall of the Qiu family, and she has not even been to Qiu Shi in the hospital, and in her heart she has completely cut off the past love with these two people, but at first glance, all kinds of memories from the past came to her heart, and many feelings of right and wrong were born.

"Auntie." With a smile on her face, Qiu Yinong gently sat down across from her.

She wore a dazzling professional outfit, a vertical striped bow shirt, white step pants, a close-fitting cut, fine fabrics, long thick seaweed-like hair, and a LV crocodile leather phone case in her hand.

The delicate facial features are covered with fresh makeup, the white and smooth skin, and the beauty and generosity of a woman are not lost in the capability.

Lin Qiaoying raised her head, obviously stunned, looking at Qiu Yinong, who had not seen her for many years, and remembered the scene when she brought this stepdaughter to Qiu's house for the first time.

Look at herself again, after the defeat of the Qiu family, their family of three moved far away to Cangshi, the economy is not as good as before, and the clothes she is wearing now are not as expensive as the money for these two cups of coffee today.

Speaking of which, it's all to blame for this mourning star, if it weren't for the strong autumn mood, the Qiu family would not have fallen to this point.

Seeing Lin Qiaoying's stunned distraction, Qiu Yinong ordered a latte from the waiter, and then called out lightly: "Auntie." ”

Lin Qiaoying came back to her senses at this time, holding the handle of the coffee cup in her hand, and did not drink it, with a greedy light in her eyes: "I read in the newspaper that Mingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory is now open in Lingcheng again, and the medicines they produce are all sold overseas, and there are so many orders that they can't finish it next year, I have inquired about it, and it is said that the reason why Mingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory is so prosperous now is because they have two new drugs that are selling very hot, I wonder if these two medicines should be your grandfather's prescription, right?" ”

"Yes."

Lin Qiaoying was surprised for several seconds: "Where did the prescription come from?" Did you find it from that rattle I gave you? ”

Qiu Yinong picked up the tea poured by the nanny and drank it slowly, "Yes." ”

Lin Qiaoying's pupils shook, and she couldn't help leaning forward, and asked eagerly, "How did you find out?" ”

"It's not me, it's Ning Juexi who accidentally found it, and he said that it was my blood that played a role. Now the pharmaceutical company is also in his name, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"So that's ......" Lin Qiaoying rubbed her hands, this time she didn't speak for several minutes, bowing her head and drinking coffee, as if she was in a state of deep thought.

Qiu Yinong looked at it quietly in her heart, and could almost guess how unwilling Lin Qiaoying was at this time, the rattle was originally in Lin Qiaoying's hands, but unfortunately even if she was locked in the bank safe, she couldn't unlock the secret of the rattle, and now that it has been unlocked by others, her heart must not be calm.

When Lin Qiaoying looked up again, her eyes were full of suspicion: "Didn't everyone outside say that you were going to get married?" Mingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory was originally yours, you are married, can he return the pharmaceutical factory to you? ”

Autumn smiled ambiguously and didn't want to talk about this topic deeply.

Lin Qiaoying adjusted her emotions for a while, knowing that this stepdaughter looked good at talking, but once she didn't want to say it, even if you pry her mouth open, she couldn't get anything, so she cleared her throat and said: "You should know everything about Coo'er, I won't repeat it, your father and I have no other pursuits now, I just want to see her marry into the Ning family with peace of mind and become the third young lady of the Ning family." ”

Qiu Yinong leaned quietly in the booth and listened, her stepmother was selfish, in order to marry the Ning family to alleviate the financial crisis of the Qiu family, she didn't care about the happiness of the Qiu family at all, and today she suddenly came to her, which inevitably led to suspicion.

"I'm here today just to tell you something, you see that your father and I are like this, we can't manage ourselves, and Chloe has no energy to take care of it. She is about to marry Ning Haobei, and Ning Haobei is also about to arrange for his parents to meet us, you said that this married daughter can't be empty-handed, without a dowry, right? Besides, it was Kou'er's escape that made the Ning family lose face, and the Ning family secretly retaliated against us, so we couldn't stay in Qingcheng. Now that Kou Er is going to marry into the Ning family, the rift between the two families back then is in a hurry to be repaired, and the meeting gifts and dowries between the two parties are always required. I discussed it with your father, can you give this money? ”

The waiter brought the coffee, and took a sip casually, "Auntie, how much do you want?" ”

"The Ning family is a big family, when the Qiu family was not defeated, we could afford a dowry of four million, and now even if we are sold, we can't make up this money."

Four million, heh, she can open this mouth!

"Then I'll be able to get out?" Qiu Yinong put down the coffee cup and asked softly.

Lin Qiaoying has always been arrogant, her face changed, she was confident, and said in a natural tone: "Who is not paying this money from you?" Don't forget, who was in Chloe's ear to let her run away from marriage in the first place? You look at how many years have passed, and after a big turn, in the end, Kou'er still has to marry Ning Haobei. You say, if you hadn't fanned the flames by your side back then, Cole would have suffered so much? If it weren't for your Ko'er marrying into the Ning family early, and in front of Mrs. Ning Sanshao, you would still be able to complete your studies, so many good things would have made you yellow, so what's wrong with asking you to get out of the mere four million now? You are the vice president of a big software company, and you hook up with Ning Juexi again, it is not a matter of time before you remarry, these four million are just a matter of plucking your roots! Why can't you afford it? ”

Qiu Yinong reacted calmly, looked at the coffee in the cup in his hand and said: "It's not my obligation to give a dowry, as a parent of Coo'er, if you have a dowry, you will pay it, and if you don't have a dowry, I don't think Ning Xiaobei will care." ”

"How is it not your obligation?" Lin Qiaoying's voice couldn't help but sharpen: "Ning Haobei won't care what's the use, he still has his parents, Qingcheng's customs, if there is no dowry, the face of the in-laws will not be good if he marries in the future, do you want to harm our Kou'er and Ning Haobei to divorce again?" You can't see others good, it's better if you marry into a wealthy family alone, we people envy you, right? Hmph, don't forget, over the years, Kou'er has been uprooted abroad to bring you children, she has a Jiaojiao herself, she takes two by herself, do you know how hard she is? You keep saying that you will treat her as a sister, and you will not admit it at the critical moment? ”

Qiu Yinong closed her eyes and endured not making a sound, she knew that Lin Qiaoying came prepared today, and wanted to get a sum of money from her.

Turning her face and smiling, she said calmly: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, I really don't have any money in my account now, at most only twenty or thirty thousand." ”

"Who are you fooling!" Lin Qiaoying pointed at Qiu Yinong and was so angry that she almost scolded: "You phone case, don't think I don't know it, LV!" And your whole body is a famous brand, a diamond as big as a diamond necklace around your neck is worth seven or eight million, you say you have no money? Only tens of thousands of dollars on his body? Who believes?! ”

Qiu Yinong didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile: "You don't believe it's your business, I still have a job, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Don't go!" Lin Qiaoying is poor and short-minded, and she is not afraid of any embarrassment at this time, she grabbed Qiu Yinong's arm like a shrew, and said sharply: "Unless you promise to pay, you can't leave!" ”

There was a lot of commotion, and many of the customers in the café looked at them.

Fang Ling and Qiu Yinong came over together, Fang Ling was waiting at the door of the café, and when he saw that there was a dispute inside, he hurriedly ran in and pulled Lin Qiaoying away: "What are you doing, be careful that we call the police!" ”

Lin Qiaoying glanced at Fang Ling, and wanted to bypass Fang Ling again to catch Qiu Yinong, but Fang Ling reacted quickly, and hugged Lin Qiaoying at once: "Mr. Luo, you go quickly, I'll deal with it here." ”

"Alright, Assistant Fang." Qiu Yinong glanced at Fang Ling gratefully, pulled away Fang Ling's hand and said to Lin Qiaoying: "I will find a way to deal with the dowry of Kou'er, if you make trouble here again, I won't pay a penny." ”

Lin Qiaoying instantly quieted down, took a breath and said, "Okay, you are out of what you say, don't regret it, if you regret it, I will go to your company to make trouble." ”

On the way back to Daisy, Fang Ling and Qiu Yinong walked side by side on the street, "Mr. Luo, that woman just now was a shrew, how can you take care of that kind of person, my experience tells me that if you ignore that kind of person once, it will be equivalent to tearing a hole, and there will only be endless troubles in the future." ”

In front of Fang Ling, Qiu Yinong would always unconsciously treat her as a sister, and did not shy away from admitting: "She is no one else, she is my stepmother." My stepsister is getting married, and she can't afford the dowry and wants me to pay it. ”

"Your stepmother?" Fang Ling was taken aback, her mind turned, after overhearing Ning Juexi's driver call Mr. Luo as Miss Qiu that day, she went home curiously and checked some information on the computer, and found that the speculation of the outside world may be true, and Mr. Luo may really be the same person as a woman named Qiu Yinong. It is said on the Internet that Autumn Yinong seems to have a stepmother, a stepsister, and a stepsister...... That's true.

"Hmm." Qiu Yinong also guessed that Fang Ling might know her identity: "So you have to keep this matter secret for me." ”

Fang Ling straightened his waist, immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will definitely keep it a secret." ”

Qiu Yinong pursed her lower lip reassuringly: "By the way, book a ticket for me, and I want two tickets for flying to London tomorrow." ”

"Are you going to report to headquarters? I haven't heard of it. ”

"No, I'm going to do some personal business, and if nothing happens, I'll be back in two days."

"Okay, I'll book a plane ticket when I get back."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Yinong got off work an hour early, first went back to the apartment to get his passport and two simple clothes and daily necessities, and then went to the door of a restaurant to pick up the two thermal boxes handed by the waiter, and then paid a tip and drove to the hospital.

She didn't enter the ward, she called Yue Chen, and Yue Chen ran down panting: "Miss Qiu, aren't you going up?" ”

"No, I'm going to Qingcheng, and you can leave this to you Mr. Ning." Qiu Yinong put the insulated box in Yue Chen's hand from the car window, then raised the window and drove away.

Yue Chen returned to the ward with the thermos box, the doctor asked Ning Juexi to stay in the hospital for observation for a day, and was ready to be discharged in the evening, at this time Ning Juexi had just changed into a casual suit, and was looking down at the buttons on the buttoned cuffs, looking up and inadvertently glancing at Yue Chen, and seeing the thermos box held by Yue Chen, out of intuition, he asked in a cold voice: "What about her?" Didn't she just call you to go down and pick her up? ”

"No, Mr. Ning." Yue Chen stiffened, raised the two thermos boxes in his hand and said, "Miss Qiu gave this to me, saying it was for you, and then she left." ”

"Gone? Where did it go? The man's face was already blue: "You didn't say I was going to be discharged?" ”

Yue Chen met the boss's frozen gaze and swallowed his saliva: "Before I could say anything, Miss Qiu left." She didn't say anything else, just said that she was going to Qingcheng. Your son is in Qingcheng, do you think she will ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man's figure flickered and he had already rushed out of the ward.

Yue Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at the thermos box in his hand, hurriedly chased out, and caught up with Ning Juexi next to the car in the parking lot: "Mr. Ning, what should I do about this?" ”

Ning Juexi sat in the driver's seat with a slight pant, frowned and gradually calmed down, and did not rush to start the engine, but waved his hand: "Throw it away." ”

Thrown?

Yue Chen estimated that he was angry, and before Ning Juexi's car drove out, he pulled open the passenger seat and put the thermos box inside.

Autumn is strong and after dark, drive to Qingcheng.

When I entered the Ning Mansion, I didn't see Xixi, but I saw Fang Yunmei.

"Auntie."

Fang Yunmei's face was a little stiff and unhappy: "Come to pick up Xixi?" Didn't you say you'd stay here for four days? Why did you have to pick it up after a day? ”

"Auntie, don't be nervous, I'm not here to pick up Xixi, I have something to tell you."

Fang Yunmei's face softened: "Is there anything you can't say on the phone, and I want you to make a trip?" ”

"That's the aunt, I've arranged it on the British side, if it's convenient for you, we can leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Why didn't you say it earlier, I had promised Cheng Rui to go to the UK with her tomorrow, and she said that she had donated $500,000 to the institute to help me treat my illness. Fang Yunmei's face was full of displeasure: "Look at you again, you said before that you would take me for examination, and then there was no follow-up." Now he suddenly didn't say hello in advance, and just told me that he was going to the UK tomorrow. How can you become the vice president of a company when you do things so recklessly? ”

"Yes, Auntie, I'm sorry, I was wrong before, I want to finish this project as soon as possible and then accompany you." Qiu Yinong sincerely apologizes.

Fang Yunmei snorted in his nostrils: "Then what now?" Cheng Rui's side has been arranged, what do you want me to say to others? ”

Qiu Yinong thought for a while and said: "Okay, Auntie, if it is really difficult for you, then I will accompany you and Cheng Rui tomorrow, after all, I have been in that research institute for two years, and I am very familiar with the situation inside and the staff inside." ”

"That's just as well." Fang Yunmei felt reasonable: "In this way, I'll give Cheng Rui a call." ”

"Okay." Qiu Yinong felt that it was inconvenient for her to be present at this time, so she stood up and looked around: "What about Xixi?" I want to see him. ”

"He's in the North Villa, playing with Jiaojiao." Fang Yunmei replied casually, and he was already dialing in his hand.

Autumn is strong out of the mansion, along the garden to the west, to the north of the Ninghao Gothic castle villa, where the lights are bright, the two little guys in the hall sit seriously, listening to Qiu Ko tell a story, next to Fang Yunxin hugged Ning Jiaojiao, from time to time asked Jiaojiao in her arms if she wanted to drink water, if she wanted to eat fruit or something.

Qiu Yinong stood at the door and listened quietly for a while, waiting for Kou'er to finish telling a fairy tale before she went in.

"Mommy." As soon as Mo Xilang saw the autumn mood, he screamed happily and pounced.

Qiu Yinong bowed her head and kissed her son, took the little guy's hand to the hall, and smiled politely at Fang Yunxin: "Auntie." ”

Fang Yunxin was neither enthusiastic nor cold, mumbled, lowered her head and hugged Ning Jiaojiao.

This is expected in the autumn, and I have to admit that Lin Qiaoying is right about one thing, that is, the Ning family has always been worried about Kou'er's escape from marriage, and it is estimated that Fang Yunxin would never agree to Kou'er staying here if it weren't for Xiao Lemon's face.

In this way, she had to think about how to raise money.

Recently, it has been really eventful, she finally scraped together 200,000 US dollars to the institute, and she still owes 300,000 US dollars to pay, and here comes a dowry of several million.

Once she had a check for five million and gave it to Ning Juexi......

Ask him again if he wants to come back?

The two of them were so stiff last night, she really couldn't open her mouth.

The Land Rover was running wildly on the highway, and Ning Juexi was wearing a Bluetooth headset on his ear and received a phone call.

"Mr. Ning, I just got a message, I don't know if I want to tell you."

"If you don't want to say it, resign tomorrow."

"Uh......" Yue Chen heard that the boss was in a bad mood, and hurriedly reported: "Miss Qiu booked two tickets to London, England early tomorrow morning, Miss Qiu this evening. ”

"Are you sure it's two?"

"Sure."

"Let's go find out what time it is tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Ning Juexi held the steering wheel with one hand, staring at the road in front of him, and stroked his sore and swollen head with one hand, Yue Chen saw that there was no phone hanging up here, and no one was talking, and said with concern: "Mr. Ning, are you on the way to Qingcheng?" The doctor said that your head is not well yet, and it is better not to drive. ”

"It's fine." There was an undercurrent in his voice: "You go and tell me the time you found it right away." ”

"Okay, there's another thing, Miss Qiu's stepmother seems to have looked for her this afternoon, and the two seem to have a conflict in the café opposite the Daisy office building."

"Conflict?" He chuckled, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know."

"I don't know, why don't you check it out?"

"Yes."

At ten o'clock, Ning Juexi's car drove into the courtyard of Ning House, and Fang Yunmei, who was about to go upstairs to rest, walked out and said to his son: "It's so late, why did you come back?" Seeing Ning Juexi wrapped gauze around his head, he gasped and asked distressedly, "Are you injured?" How? How did it get like this? ”

"The doctor said it was fine." Ning Juexi closed the car door casually, held the car keys in his hand, turned his head to look at the cars in the garage, his eyes slid over the luxury cars, and he never saw the white Highlander.

"What are you looking for?" Fang Yunmei stared at the gauze on her son's head, she always felt that something was wrong, and the scene of Qiu Yinong coming back alone today came to mind, and she had a premonition.

"How's it going?" He walked towards the mansion: "Did she sleep with Xixi?" ”

"I was about to tell you about it." Fang Yunmei followed him into the house full of doubts: "What's the matter with you and her?" If you want to come back or not come back together, are you quarreling? Did she hurt your head during your argument? ”

"It's nothing, Mom, don't guess." Ning Juexi changed his shoes and was about to go upstairs, when Fang Yunmei said loudly, "She's not here." ”

He stopped as he stepped on the steps quickly, turned his head to look at Fang Yunmei, his eyebrows were silent: "Then where is she?" The villa of the fourth? ”

Fang Yunmei looked at her son and knew that there was another conflict between the two: "She went back to Cangshi, and Xixi didn't take it away." ”

"When did you leave?"

"About half an hour ago."

Ning Juexi slapped the mahogany handrail of the stairs with his big hand, cursed in a low voice, and was about to take a step out, remembering something, he turned back again: "What did she say when she came back?" What was done? ”

"She said she would take me to the British research institute tomorrow for a physical examination."

"She's coming to pick you up tomorrow?"

"No, there is an international airport in Cangshi, and the three of us will meet at the international airport in Cangshi tomorrow morning."

Ning Juexi's eyes were thoughtful, and the corners of his lips slowly sank little by little: "You ...... tomorrow morning." Three people flying to the UK? Do you want to bring Hee-hee? ”

"No bustle." Fang Yunmei shook his head: "Last time, I said that I would be sent to the UK, but Qiu Yinong didn't set the time, yesterday Cheng Rui came, she took my affairs to heart, and told me that it had been arranged in the UK." I guess Qiu Yinong heard the news and hurried over to please me, the future mother-in-law, otherwise, I don't know how long it will be delayed. ”

Ning Juexi looked at Fang Yunmei's disdainful expression, and said the last sentence lightly: "Mom, Nong is not that kind of person. ”

Seeing his figure walking out of the mansion, Fang Yunmei hurriedly chased after him: "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll go back to Cangshi."

"Seeing that you are injured like this, it's too late, don't go back, just rest at home today, and just send me and Cheng Rui to the airport early tomorrow morning, it's different to see the person you want to meet." Fang Yunmei stepped forward and grabbed his son, and dragged him to the house: "Xixi refuses to sleep upstairs, just you take care of it, when Qiu Yinong leaves, you have to get up and go to bed according to the schedule, otherwise Xixi will not be able to adjust when he goes to school." ”

Ning Juexi lowered her eyes and pressed her dizzy head, she rushed from Cangshi to Qingcheng in order to solve his mother's heart disease.

This shows that she has him in her heart to please his mother.

This realization more or less softened his face, stretched out his hand to press the painful head, the head injury was not healed, he drove all night, and now his head is very uncomfortable, he will spend the night here tonight, and then he will see her tomorrow.
