This time the marriage and divorce went very smoothly, and in just 20 minutes, the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a divorce certificate in their arms.

Huo Beixiao's footsteps stopped at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

“…… You're good. He said.

Xia Nuan's heart was full of sourness, and he nodded silently, and then thought that the two of them were standing with their backs to each other, and Huo Beixiao couldn't see it at all, so he said again: "You too." Okay. There was an almost undetectable choking in her voice.

Xia Nuanxin's eyes were hot, and she tried her best to endure to force the hot tears back, and the tears flowed down her eyes and to her throat, with a hint of bitterness.

She and Huo Beixiao have known each other for more than a year, and during this period, too many things have happened, she doesn't know how long it will take her to erase this person from her memory, maybe a few months? Maybe years? Or perhaps...... You'll never forget.

Xia Nuanxin sniffed, she didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that once she turned around, she would be reluctant to let Huo Beixiao leave. She forced herself to move forward without looking back.

The whistling wind blew past her ears, and the sound of horns and the shouts of the driver came and went, but Xia Nuanxin walked back to the company as if she couldn't hear anything.

There were not many people in the company, Secretary Lu stood at her desk waiting for her, and when she saw her, she habitually wanted to reprimand, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Xia Nuanxin's eyes were distracted, her face was pale, and the whole person seemed to be out of state, like a puppet who had lost her soul.

"Are you alright? Sick? Lu Ying asked with concern.

Xia Nuanxin seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and the whole person trembled, and it took a long time to focus on Lu Ying's face. She was a little dazed and said, "No...... I'm fine. Do you have something to make a copy again? ”

Lu Ying rolled her eyes helplessly, and she didn't know what it was to make a girl who had been beaten like chicken blood all day like this, her tone couldn't help but soften, and she pointed to the ceiling and said, "Mr. Qiu is looking for you." Go for it. ”

"Oh!" Not to mention that Xia Nuanxin hadn't remembered it yet, as soon as she mentioned it, she thought that she also had something to say to Qiu Yating.

The elevator arrived at the floor of Qiu Yating's office, and Xia Nuanxin came out of the elevator in a bit of a daze.

In order not to worry Qiu Yating, she stood outside the office door for a while, trying to adjust her emotions. She circled the words she wanted to say and the questions she wanted to ask on the tip of her tongue, patted her cheeks, which were stiffened by the cold wind, and pulled a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth, and then took a step into Qiu Yating's office.

Surprisingly, Qiu Yating was not the only one sitting in the office, but even David Edmond. Except for the dinner that day, Xia Nuanxin rarely saw the two in the same frame, and it was inevitable that she was a little surprised.

"Heartwarming?" The first to speak was David Edmond, who welcomed Xia Nuanxin in very kindly, and gave her a slightly larger space, and moved a little to Qiu Yating's side.

Xia Nuanxin looked at Qiu Yating, and her eyes were clearly confused.

Qiu Yating's face was a little embarrassed, she seemed to have something to say to her, but she didn't seem to know how to speak.

"Mom, what's the matter, can you tell me?" Xia Nuanxin took the initiative to ask.

Qiu Yating glanced at David Edmund on the side, but still didn't speak.

David Edmund looked left and right, probably realizing that he was there, and they were not very easy to speak, so he also stood up with interest: "I came to discuss some of the company's development plans with your mother, and now it is almost clear, then I will leave first, and you mother and daughter can have a good chat." ”

Xia Nuanxin looked at David Edmond and didn't speak, but felt that his attitude today was inexplicably kind, and it didn't seem to be the same as the person who pointed at her and scolded her yesterday.

Qiu Yating nodded, went up to see him to the door, and then locked the office door.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xia Nuanxin looked at it in his eyes, full of suspicion.

Qiu Yating put her left palm on top of her right palm, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and finally said: "Warm heart, you see that you are not young anymore, and in a few years you will reach the age when you should talk about marriage, have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend and falling in love?" ”

A flash of surprise flashed on Xia Nuan's face, she didn't expect Qiu Yating to tell her about this, Huo Beixiao's shadow flashed in her mind, and now in addition to Huo Beixiao, Xia Nuanxin couldn't imagine anyone else who could approach her heart.

She smiled bitterly and waved her hand, and said, "I thought it was something, it turned out to be this matter, I will arrange this matter myself, Mom, don't worry about it." ”

Qiu Yating sat down next to Xia Nuanxin with apologies on her face, and said with a little caution in her words: "That's the case, it just so happens that Edmond knows the general manager of Qiao's Group, and his son is as old as you, and he intends to match the two of you, so let me ask you what you mean." ”

"Mom, I really don't need to. I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry. Marriage is a major event in life, and I need to be cautious. ”

Qiu Yating patted Xia Nuanxin's hand and said seriously: "Of course this mother knows, we didn't let you have to marry each other, we just said that we would let you meet and get to know each other." If both of them like it, the next step begins. ”

Xia Nuan stared at Qiu Yating suspiciously, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart: "Mom, have you encountered something?" Why did you suddenly think about arranging a blind date for me? ”

Qiu Yating withdrew her hand a little embarrassed, her face was frustrated, she wiped her face and shook her head, and said without saying anything: "It's okay, it's okay, if you really don't want to, forget it." Blame me, I haven't fulfilled my obligations as a mother for so many years, what qualifications do I have to dictate your life, ask you for this, ask for that. ”

Xia Nuan was anxious: "Mom, why do you say that." You're my mother, so don't talk about the past. If it weren't for the last resort, how could a mother leave her own daughter behind. I don't want to meet the person you're talking about, just because I really don't want to be in a relationship right now. ”

Just in the morning, she had just received a divorce certificate with Huo Beixiao, and the wound in her heart was still dripping blood, and she couldn't accept others anyway.

"Mom, is there something wrong with the company? Yesterday's birthday party was also very strange. Are you hiding from me that you have other plans? Xia Nuanxin just said that it was strange, but she already had a vague name in her heart.

There must be something wrong with the company, otherwise how could Qiu Yating let her show up in front of people for no reason? With her low-key personality, this is something she will never do. Even if she wants to hold a birthday party, it is estimated that she will only invite a few acquaintances to get together, and it will definitely not be such a large-scale operation.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Qiu Yating's face.

"Mom, you can say it. What the hell is going on, is there anything I can do to help? ”

Qiu Yating raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Nuanxin, and sighed: "Actually, it is true that there is a little change in the company. ”

Xia Nuan's heart tightened, she knew! She looked at Qiu Yating and quietly waited for her words.

Qiu Yating sighed, and finally stopped hiding it.

"Our company has only been established for more than half a year, and the reason why we were able to develop so rapidly in the early stage is all due to some connections left by your father and David Edmond's means and funds. But after all, these are all in the past, and the Xia family has had that kind of thing before, so their trust in us is also a little shaken. At first, it was okay to support us, but after a long time, the amount involved is getting bigger and bigger, so they don't want to help. Don't look at our company's smooth sailing now, in fact, it is already full of holes inside, and we need to find a stronger ally. But we don't have any leverage to get others to help us unconditionally, so ......"

As soon as he said this, Xia Nuanxin suddenly understood.

No wonder you have to throw a birthday party all of a sudden, no wonder you have to introduce her to someone. It seems that I also want to go through the business marriage! I didn't have chips, so I thought of playing the family card, the love card...... She has now become a weight in the hands of the company.

However, Xia Nuanxin never thought that she would sacrifice her marriage in these aspects.

She lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say, and was very embarrassed.

On the one hand, she was also very distressed to see Qiu Yating so difficult, and on the other hand, she really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Marriage for the sake of marriage, dating for the sake of dating, this is extremely unfair to her, and to the person she is about to date.

Besides, she hasn't come out of Huo Beixiao's shadow yet, she can't guarantee that she can help Qiu Yating perform this play completely.

Qiu Yating saw that Xia Nuanxin was silent, feeling guilty in her heart, she reluctantly pulled out a smile on her face and said: "Don't care about Nuanxin, my mother doesn't want to force you to do anything, but if you ask, I'll give you a rough idea of this." You are my biological daughter, no matter what it is for, I can't risk your lifelong happiness, in marriage, you must choose what you like! ”

Xia Nuanxin didn't say anything more, she had always hated those so-called political marriages, but she didn't expect that she would be able to encounter this thorny problem one day.

"Mom, I want to know, is this what Mr. Edmund meant, or do you mean?" Xia Nuanxin was silent for a moment, but still said the question in his heart, "You and Mr. Edmond...... What is the relationship? ”

Qiu Yating stiffened, her face flushed with a hint of peach, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face: "You girl, are you still interrogating me?" Edmund and I are partners, so don't think about anything else. ”

"But ......" Xia Nuanxin hesitated, she always felt that it was not so simple between them.

"NuanHeart is not his David Edmond alone, after all, I am the chairman of this company, and no one knows the direction of the company better than me. To outsiders, it seems that our company is very beautiful, but who knows that I have been tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. ”
