Chapter 46: Good Gathering, Good Dispersion
She still wants a divorce.
Qiao Zhanbei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart felt like he had been punched hard, sullen, out of breath, and faintly in pain.
"Why?" He tried his best to restrain his emotions and asked calmly.
He habitually groped in his pockets, took out his cigarette box, and in his pocket, there was no cigarette. Recently, he was forced by her to quit smoking, not only can he not smoke at home, but the company has also been placed by her.
Ye Mian took a sip of lemonade and looked at him, his eyes were full of wisdom, "I know the project of Qingzhou New Town, and the Qiao family and the Tong family are involved again." β
"So, you still mind Tong Yaoyao?" Qiao Zhanbei asked helplessly.
He doesn't have the slightest affection for Tong Yaoyao now, and he is deliberately keeping a distance when they meet, but she is still not satisfied.
"Yes, I would. The two of you cooperate, you can't avoid dealing with Tong Yaoyao in the future, I don't want to be caught in the middle and be ridiculed. Ye Mian said very simply.
"You want me to give up on this project?" Qiao Zhanbei frowned, his expression was gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice.
Ye Mian didn't expect him to ask like this, she hadn't thought about this question, she had never been a person who couldn't do anything about herself, how could Qiao Zhanbei ignore the major interests of the Qiao family and the Qiao family for her.
If that's the case, he wouldn't be the Qiao Zhanbei she knew.
He is a successful businessman.
"No, I'm very supportive of this win-win project. Qingzhou has not developed over the years, the second uncle's new official needs political achievements, and some people are staring at him, you are the person he trusts the most, and this project must be done by yourself. β
Listening to her words, Qiao Zhanbei admired that she was still Bing Xue smart.
"That's right, that's right. At present, they are talking to the Tong family about selling the land, but they have not agreed. Qiao Zhanbei said truthfully.
"It's impossible for the Tong family to sell." The corners of Ye Mian's mouth twitched, he just opened a sky-high price, and the Tong family would not sell this land.
Selling land is valuable, tying up Qiao's family is priceless, and the benefits are endless.
Well, that's not what she should care about, she just wants to get a divorce and go back to Sioux City now.
"For me...... Our marriage, can you bear with it? Qiao Zhanbei originally wanted to say, for me, can you bear with it, in the end it is proud, so he changed his words.
Endure?
Endure for a lifetime?
I can't bear it for a day, and if she endures it any longer, she will go crazy, not to mention the grievances of the previous generation.
"Qiao Zhanbei, I married you originally for Qiao's mother, now, why do I have to put up with your ex-girlfriend in this marriage? Originally, you broke off with Tong Yaoyao, I thought about making do with it, but now it's ...... Forget it, I don't have that much energy to spend in this triangle. β
"I just want to concentrate on embroidery, I originally planned to go back to Sioux City to inherit my grandmother's mantle after divorcing you, but I was delayed for so long because my face was injured." She looked at him and said half-truthfully.
Qiao Zhanbei listened to every word of her, without any affection, just gratitude, and made do.
He had a heart attack, his eyes were locked on the other side, she looked calm and sober, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a self-deprecating smile, she was so hateful.
Ye Mian was stared at by him, especially when he looked very hurt.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed her emotions, "Brother Mo Bai is looking for me today, it is the Sioux City Embroidery Association that needs me to go over to help, I promised him, I will leave soon, and I don't plan to return to the capital in the future, Sioux City is where I should have stayed." β
Only she understands the multi-layered meaning of this sentence.
She shouldn't have come to the capital, she shouldn't have stayed here for Qiao Zhanbei, and she shouldn't have thought about him.
Under the table, Qiao Zhanbei's hands were clenched tightly, forbearance and restraint, his emotions were on the verge of a critical point, "Let's talk about this when I go home." β
"No, I'll go back to my apartment tonight. Brother Qiao, let's not delay any longer, be happy, get together and disperse. She didn't want to understand why he wouldn't leave, she just wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Her words, her attitude, made him look like an indecisive person, who couldn't afford to let go, Qiao Zhanbei sneered.
He picked up the jewelry box and got up.
Ye Mian also got up immediately, but he was reluctant to drop the bouquet of flowers, hugged it in his arms, and walked out of the restaurant with him.
"I'll take a taxi back to my apartmentβ"
"I'll send you back." He took her by the hand, pulled her, and got into his car.
In the extended version of the Rolls-Royce, the rear compartment is separated from the cab to form a private space, and the roof is lit by a few lights, and the light is dim.
As soon as he sat down, Qiao Zhanbei took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out one in front of her, put it in his mouth, noticed her gaze, he glanced at her sideways, and said, "You can't control it." β
The lighter "ding" made a crisp sound, and a quenched blue light burst out, lighting a cigarette.
Illuminate his evil face.
Ye Mian's throat was a little blocked, and he said in a cool voice: "Anyway, the body is your own." β
Qiao Zhanbei didn't reply to her, with a cigarette in his mouth, he took out the jewelry box, took out the diamond ring from it, and grabbed her left hand.
"What are you doing?"
He bit his cigarette, looked at her, half-squinted his eyes, and said, "What you said, it's good to get together and disperse, but we didn't get together at the beginning, so now make up one." β
As he spoke, he slowly placed the diamond ring on her left ring finger.
Ye Mian's eyes were hot, and she turned her face to look out of the car window.
When she got married to him, although it was a contract, there was no wedding, no wedding dress, and no diamond ring, and she was still somewhat lost in her heart.
Now that she is going to get divorced, he has made up for her with a diamond ring.
Qiao Zhanbei held her palm in his palm, carefully admired her hand and diamond ring, and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.
After a while, he snuffed out his cigarette and pulled her into his arms, and she was about to struggle, when he whispered in her ear, "Let me hug." β
"The little white-eyed wolf that can't be raised." Thinking that she said that she would not return to the capital in the future, Qiao Zhanbei gritted his teeth and said.
Today, she feels more affectionate about that surname Xu than he is.
"You should do the affairs of Suzhou City first, and it will not be too late for you to come back to do the formalities." I don't know how long it took, he let go of her and said calmly.
He was afraid that she wouldn't come back as soon as she left.
In an instant, Qiao Zhanbei laughed at himself in his heart, he was too much of a failure, and he had to rely on a marriage certificate to tie her up.
Ye Mian thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay." β
At that time, it is estimated that he must have urged her to get a divorce.
"When are you going to go? I'll send you then. He hugged her hard again and asked in a low voice.
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow, I don't need you to send it, you're busy enough." She forced herself not to be moved by him.
Qiao Zhanbei: "No matter how busy you are, you have to send it." β
On this night, Ye Mian went back to his apartment, cleaned up the next day, and on the third day, he flew to Sioux City with Xu Mobai.
When she boarded the plane smoothly, she didn't see Qiao Zhanbei coming to see her off.
