"Come here."

Old Man Qiao beckoned lightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

An Xiaoxi couldn't figure out his intentions, and out of politeness, she still walked over. When he came to Old Man Qiao, he squatted down on his knees.

A business tycoon who has been galloping in the business world for decades, his hair is gray and messy, and there are tears in his eyes, but he is also an old man who is sad for his children and grandchildren. An Xiaoxi had never met such a kind old man since he met Old Man Qiao for the first time, and he called him "little ghost".

She has never seen her grandparents, nor has she seen her grandparents, and she has never experienced the warmth of getting along with her grandchildren and grandchildren.

Although it was very limited, she still saw the warmth of the next generation for the first time from Old Man Qiao.

"Wen Han, a good boy."

Old Man Qiao's tone was light, while An Xiaoxi was skeptical of Qiao Wenhan's "goodness". When she heard "Qiao Wenhan is a good boy", she subconsciously was, "Don't let him go." ”

"I hope you ......"

Old Man Qiao pulled An Xiaoxi to his side and whispered something to her. An Xiaoxi's face became more and more pale, so much so that he finally appeared in front of Qiao Wenhan like a ghost, scaring him incorrectly.

"Mr. Qiao."

An Xiaoxi grabbed the corner of Qiao Wenhan's clothes. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to show his intimacy.

Qiao Wenhan turned around, lowered his head, and looked directly at An Xiaoxi's pale face.

"Qiao Dong told me just now, the contract ...... There are changes. ”

Qiao Wenhan was puzzled, this was clearly a contract between An Xiaoxi and him alone, and his grandfather was now intervening to make it so complicated, what was the purpose.

Do we want to repeat the mistakes of the past?

"What a change."

Qiao Wenhan's voice was cold, more than the cold snow outside the house.

"He said, "Please terminate the present contract with me at once...... Otherwise......"

"Otherwise what?"

There was some anger in his deep voice. Grandpa had no right to dispose of his lover.

"Otherwise you'll never see me......"

When Old Man Qiao said this, An Xiaoxi himself couldn't believe it. What kind of threat is this? She An Xiaoxi is not enough to influence Qiao Wenhan's choice.

But right now, she couldn't figure it out. Qiao Wenhan's reddened eyes were clearly a mixture of anger, resentment and reluctance.

Her status in Qiao Wenhan's heart is higher than she imagined.

Qiao Wenhan shook off An Xiaoxi's hand holding the corner of his clothes, and strode towards the front hall, as if he was going to find Old Man Qiao to theorize.

In fact, there was a secret hidden in Old Man Qiao's words that made An Xiaoxi uneasy just now.

If An Xiaoxi does it, she can not only have freedom, but also her career.

After Mr. Qiao promised to make the deed, let her study in his restaurant group and help her start her own independent food career.

This temptation is fatal, and such a small person as An Xiaoxi, of course he will not let go when he gets such an opportunity. With Old Man Qiao in her hands, she didn't worry about the contract change with Qiao Wenhan.

And all she has to do is ......

and Qiao Wenhan fake marriage.

The term is one year.

In exchange for the management opportunity of a top restaurant group, which cannot be bought with money. Compared with Qiao Wenhan's pocket money of 200,000 yuan per month, it is better to invite a chef to "play house" at every turn.

…… The atmosphere in the antechamber was solemn.

Qiao Wenhan stood in front of Old Man Qiao and asked him why he wanted to interfere with An Xiaoxi's contract.

Old Man Qiao frowned, this kid really didn't get on the road.

"Grandpa!"

Qiao Wenhan scolded loudly after a long absence, and he was angry.

"That's all you have to do?"

Old Man Qiao slowly picked up the teacup, and let the angry man in front of him be a transparent person like air.

"Do you know what the contract change is?"

Old Man Qiao raised his eyes full of old age spots and looked at Qiao Wenhan.

"I don't know, but you shouldn't interfere. This is my private matter. ”

"Oh? Is it? Is it Qiao Wenhan's private matter, or is it the private matter of the heir of Jinqiao Group? ”

Qiao Wenhan couldn't answer.

"The people who want to take over the Jinqiao Group should no longer have personal affairs. Frank and true, I chose you for this quality. ”

Old Man Qiao beckoned the person in charge to bring a chair, and Qiao Wenhan sat down.

"The content of the contract change is that I will let you marry you, little ghost. Let you grow up faster. ”

What the? Although he is usually a cold and arrogant president who has not changed his color when Mount Tai collapses, Qiao Wenhan was still caught off guard by his grandfather's words.

He didn't understand, his grandfather showed favor to An Xiaoxi, and repeatedly hinted that he would consider accepting her as the official granddaughter-in-law of the Qiao family. Now he directly issued a "holy decree" to let the two get married.

Grandpa, a person who is very deep in the city and thoughtful, is not easy to make this move.

An Xiaoxi was completely treated as a chess piece. Obviously, she is willing to be this chess piece, if it can still be used, it means that there is still value, and this is also what everyone needs.

"But ......"

Qiao Wenhan seems to have something unspeakable.

"But I can't marry her yet."

Qiao Wenhan also took a sip of tea.

"Can't forget that woman? Tell you, among my Qiao Zhengbang's children and grandchildren, there is no bad seed, and there should be no love seed. I've investigated this girl, and she's innocent. ”

The word innocence is An Xiaoxi's biggest advantage. Young, ignorant, and alone into the world, without family, without friends, without much involvement. At the same time, there is an insatiable desire for dreams. These are the qualities that a qualified "chess piece" possesses.

"Grandpa, you know, I can't ...... for the rest of my life Before seeing her body. ”

Qiao Wenhan choked up. The woman who left him and Su Chenfeng to go away with him suddenly came with the news that she had died in a foreign land. He never believed that her death. It's that unreal.

"I don't have the time to help you find the body anymore, now it's a living person and a dead love, you choose."

Qiao Zhengbang stood up angrily and turned his back, not wanting to see Qiao Wenhan's gentle and cowardly eyes.

"I can't choose, grandpa. I really...... Can't choose ......"

For the first time, An Xiaoxi saw Qiao Wenhan holding his head and moaning in pain. The cold and domineering noble son of the past, the nasty ghost who played tricks on people at every turn, made her really feel distressed.

Qiao Wenhan didn't want to break the oath he had made. Before he saw her body, he persisted in searching the world for her traces.

Whenever she received any news, such as the appearance of someone who looked similar to her, or the place where they used to live together, Qiao Wenhan arranged a lot of manpower to track down.

On the one hand, there is the indulgence of love after the death, and on the other hand, there is a paranoid search that does not give up any hope. Qiao Wenhan's complexity, entanglement, twisting, and depression are getting more and more serious.

"April after the year is good, choose a good day, release the news, and the public relations department will cooperate with you."

The marriage that Mr. Qiao said and the marriage that Qiao Wenhan wanted are completely different things, this is the marriage that businessmen understand.

"I don't want to get married."

Qiao Wenhan said it categorically.

"And you want the imp to disappear?"

Old Man Qiao is tantamount to the temptation of sprinkling salt on the wound.

Qiao Wenhan gritted his teeth, his sword eyebrows frowning slightly. "I don't want to!"

"So what do you want to do? This is my contract with you. Do you want a little ghost or the woman who can't live anymore? ”

Old Man Qiao is pressing forward step by step, and Qiao Wenhan has gradually had no way out.

"Why did our Qiao family have descendants like you? It's so disappointing. ”

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm really a bad descendant, but my efforts to Jinqiao Group, you and other board members should be obvious to all, my work will try to be perfect, my marriage, I hope you don't interfere."

Qiao Wenhan argued with reason to fight his way out of a desperate situation.

She's not dead, she's certainly not dead.

Su Chenfeng didn't say a word, obviously he and her flew away together, how could he get out so safely. Her death Su Chenfeng understated, how could it be?

Qiao Wenhan couldn't convince himself, and he also actively persuaded the people around him. The main thing is his grandfather.

But Old Man Qiao has his philosophy of life, and when he believes that this thing is impossible, he will be destroyed, leaving no chance of life.

"If you were only my grandson, I wouldn't ask about your marriage. But if you are still the heir of the Jinqiao Group, I will definitely interfere, and you must remember this. ”

Qiao Wenhan didn't want the right to be the heir of the Jin Qiao Group out of thin air, but between Su Chenfeng and Qiao Wenhan, Old Man Qiao chose Qiao Wenhan to accept everything that happened in the future as a "destined person".

And who asked him if he wanted to?

"If I could, I would just want to be your grandson. What Jin Qiao Group, what heirs, I don't want to, and I don't want to. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Wenhan's mouth, he was not a careerist who was obsessed with business. His romantic talents are now sealed, and there is nowhere to show them.

He was tied to the heir's throne like a puppet, unable to move. He was tired of it for a long time, if he wasn't the heir, the relationship with Miss Cai back then would have a better ending.

Maybe at this moment, he and she are in Europe, and they have lived a life like a fairy couple.

However, life has no assumptions, only bloody facts. For example, now, the words he blurted out had angered Old Man Qiao.

Irresponsible, giving up the family business for the sake of affairs, such a person cannot be entrusted with important tasks. Will the result of Old Man Qiao's painstaking cultivation for twenty years be in vain?

Of course not.

Everything is under his control, including the small rebellion that Qiao Wenhan has shown at the moment.

The plan has just begun.

The show then unfolded.

"Little ghost, come here!"

An Xiaoxi, who was eavesdropping secretly by the door, had already been noticed by Old Man Qiao.

Pulling her into battle, this contract lover's drama becomes exciting.

Of course, the pawn is not known, the pawn can only see every move it takes, but it is not yet understood why each move is the way it goes.

An Xiaoxi walked in tremblingly and sat next to Qiao Wenhan.

Old Man Qiao walked around the table and walked over to them.

One hand grabbed Qiao Wenhan, the other hand held An Xiaoxi, and then put their hands together.

"You guys, get married as soon as possible."
