"My assistant can handle the rest," Li Zhuohui said, but he looked at Qi Chengyue. "Where are the three of you going?"
"My wife and I are going to the 4S shop to look at the new car. Chengyue is going back to Qi Lin," Qi Chengzhi said.
Qi Chengyue glanced at Qi Chengzhi. She hadn't said anything yet. Why did he answer on her behalf?
Although Qi Chengzhi did say that he would take Song Yu to look at the car on the way here, she could guarantee that Qi Chengzhi didn't intend to go there directly. He was clearly creating an opportunity for Li Zhuohui.
Since when was her big brother so willing to help others?
"Oh? I see that Miss Qi isn't driving. Why don't you give me a chance to send Miss Qi back? " Li Zhuohui didn't seem to want to hide his thoughts at all. His intentions were very obvious.
"No —" Qi Chengyue only had time to say one word before she was interrupted by Qi Chengzhi again.
"Thank you, President Li." Qi Chengzhi nodded slightly and revealed a rare smile.
Qi Chengyue couldn't care less now. She called out anxiously, "Big Brother!"
Qi Chengzhi raised his hand to look at his watch. "The lunch break is almost over. Even if you are my sister, being late will be recorded."
Qi Chengyue: "…"
Song Yu also nodded to Li Zhuohui before leaving with Qi Chengzhi.
After Qi Chengzhi drove away in his Jaguar, Qi Chengyue said, "President Li must be very busy. I can take a taxi back myself."
"Miss Qi, you must know that it's difficult to get a taxi here." Li Zhuohui smiled faintly. "Did I offend you in some way? Is that why Miss Qi is avoiding me?"
"No, I'm afraid of delaying you, President Li." Qi Chengyue could only say that.
Li Zhuohui suddenly lowered his head and chuckled. "We are treating each other like outsiders. One is Miss Qi, and the other is President Li. Not to mention that we are all in the same circle and will always see each other. We're schoolmates, and we have a relationship of Senior Brother and Junior Sister. I feel a little uncomfortable calling you that. "
Qi Chengyue didn't say anything. She really didn't want to start this conversation. However, with Li Zhuohui's thick skin, he didn't need Qi Chengyue to start.
"How about this, I'll call you Junior Sister, and you call me Senior Brother. This way, we won't seem distant, but it won't seem too intimate either. It's quite appropriate, right?" Li Zhuohui said with a smile. Without waiting for Qi Chengyue's reply, he said, "Let's go. It's my honor to send Junior Sister off. It won't affect my work at all."
In the car, Li Zhuohui said, "Why are you so quiet? You don't feel comfortable with me? "
"No, it's just that I didn't expect Li … Senior Martial Brother to remember me," Qi Chengyue said faintly.
"How could I not remember? Although I didn't stay in school during the fourth year, when I occasionally went back, my roommates and classmates would all tell me how beautiful the new junior-apprentice sister was. She looked like a doll, and stirred up the hearts of a bunch of boys. It's a pity that Junior Martial Sister's standards are too high and she doesn't like anyone. "
"You might not know this, but my roommate pointed you out to me from afar. But after you graduate, you'll have a boyfriend. At that time, it'll be too late for me to chase after him. I really regret not chasing you earlier. "Li Zhuohui said.
Qi Chengyue was speechless.
"Although I don't really want to admit it, at that time, I was actually afraid of being rejected by you." Li Zhuohui laughed self-mockingly.
"…" Qi Chengyue pursed her lips and said faintly, "At that time, I was indeed arrogant, and my personality wasn't very likable. Even if you chased after me, I'm afraid you'd be embarrassed by my sarcasm. From then on, not only would you not like me, but you'd also hate me."
"Looks like I'm just lucky." Li Zhuohui smiled faintly.
…
…
"Miss Jiang, I'm very sorry to have wasted your time. Actually, I already have someone I like," Cheng Dongge said faintly.
They were currently in Sheng Yue, and they were afraid that Qi Lin's colleagues would see them at a restaurant near the company and gossip would spread.
Cheng Dongge also knew Qi Chengzhi's intentions, but after thinking about it, he still decided not to use this method. He clearly already had someone he liked, but he still ran out on a blind date. Even if it was just to provoke Qi Chengyue, it was still unfair to the blind date.
And in the end, he still couldn't bear to see Qi Chengyue suffer.
Originally, when he heard Qi Chengzhi say that he wanted to go on a blind date, he was certain that it wouldn't work. He didn't expect that Jiang Xiyao would actually have a good impression of him. Today, she actually came directly to Qi Lin, so he could only hurry and make things clear.
Jiang Xiyao was slightly stunned and was speechless for a long time. She turned her head to look out the window and suddenly said faintly, "Last night, I saw you chasing an Audi TT. The person in the car is the one you like, right?"
Cheng Dongge didn't say anything. Jiang Xiyao smiled faintly and looked down at her hand that was rubbing the handle of the cup. "Actually, I should be angry at you. You clearly have someone you like, but you still ran out on a blind date. But now that you've admitted it so honestly, I actually can't be angry at you. "
Jiang Xiyao raised her head and looked at Cheng Dongge seriously. "Actually, I have pretty high standards. The requirements I have for the man aren't just limited to his status and ability, but also his character and so on. I've long heard of you, so I agreed to come out and meet you. I didn't expect that after meeting you once, I would have such a good impression of you. You meet my requirements in every aspect, so I seriously want to develop a relationship with you. Can you tell me who you like? "
"I can't." Cheng Dongge said without hesitation, "I'm currently in the phase of pursuing her. To be honest, I came out on a blind date to provoke her, but I ended up provoking myself and feeling heartache instead. But since it's my own business, there's no need to explain it to others. "
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiyao wasn't angry at Cheng Dongge's unyielding attitude.
Jiang Xiyao faintly smiled. "Since you're still in the phase of pursuing her, then any possibility exists. The person you like is Qi Chengyue, right? "
Cheng Dongge didn't expect Jiang Xiyao to guess correctly. He nodded and said, "Miss Jiang is indeed smart."
"I remember that Qi Chengyue was also driving that car yesterday. Moreover, when she saw the two of us this afternoon, her expression didn't seem right. In addition, what you said to the reporter before, at first, I also thought that you came forward to help because of Qi Chengzhi's order, but combined with the first two points, I know what you said at that time was all serious. "Jiang Xiyao took a deep breath, stood up, and let out a heavy breath.
"Since the person you like is Qi Chengyue, I also know who my love rival is. I don't think I'm any worse than Qi Chengyue. In terms of background, perhaps the Jiang family can't compare to the Qi family, but she has three older brothers, and I only have one. According to the distribution of resources, I'm actually equal to her. Whether it's in terms of appearance or character, I don't think there's anything I can say. I won't say that she's divorced. That's very immoral, but I do have an advantage over her in this aspect. "
"It's rare to meet someone I like. I feel that when it's time to fight for it, I should take the initiative. Since you guys aren't together yet, then I have a chance to compete fairly." Jiang Xiyao said confidently.
Cheng Dongge stood up without saying a word. He didn't comment on her words and only said, "I'll send you back."
"My car is parked in Qi Lin. You can just send me back." Jiang Xiyao said.
… …
… …
Cheng Dongge parked the car in the parking lot in front of Qi Lin's entrance and happened to see a black Barbos parked in front of Qi Lin's entrance. After a while, he saw Li Zhuohui get out. He went to the front passenger seat and opened the door. Qi Chengyue got out of the car.
Jiang Xiyao also got out of the back seat. She looked at Qi Chengyue and Li Zhuohui from afar. When she saw Cheng Dongge get out of the car, her eyes were fixed in Qi Chengyue's direction.
Jiang Xiyao smiled. "Seems like you have a love rival too. I heard that Li Zhuohui and Qi Chengyue are schoolmates."
Cheng Dongge glanced at her and only said, "Miss Jiang, drive carefully."
Then, he left.
… …
… …
Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu drove to the 4S shop. It was the shop where his car was being repaired.
In the car, Song Yu couldn't think of anything. She turned to look at Qi Chengzhi. His side profile was full of righteousness.
At the red light, Qi Chengzhi turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
"I was eating with Jianyi at Sheng Yue to celebrate me winning the design of Qi Lin Hotel. Then, Chengyue came looking for me. Do you remember?" Song Yu asked. Seeing that the red light had turned green, Qi Chengzhi retracted his gaze and drove.
"Yeah," he said faintly.
"At that time, you said that you didn't know that Jianyi and Chengyue were in a relationship. However, just now, you told Chengyue that when Jianyi was chasing after her, several young people from different families were also chasing after her. Doesn't that mean that you already knew that she was with Jianyi?" Song Yu had been holding it in. In front of Qi Chengyue, she was too embarrassed to get even with him. It was only when they were alone that she finally said it.
"…" Qi Chengzhi didn't expect that she would notice his slip of the tongue.
"Say something," Song Yu urged. If he didn't say anything, she would know what was going on.
He probably already knew that Jianyi and Qi Chengyue were together. However, he didn't tell her. He wanted her to find out for herself.
Song Yu felt that she had become very stupid back then. Especially when he knew everything, she still wholeheartedly liked Jianyi. It was so embarrassing.
"What? Are you regretting it now? Are you here to get even with me?" Qi Chengzhi glanced at her indifferently.
"What are you talking about?" Song Yu mumbled. "I just feel very embarrassed. Since you knew back then, why didn't you tell me? You saved me the embarrassment."
Qi Chengzhi looked at her and chuckled. He reached out his elegant and clean hand and held her hand. "If I told you back then, would you believe me? Would you think that I was deliberately destroying your relationship with Jianyi? "
"…" Song Yu was stunned. She quickly said, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it."
Qi Chengzhi was speechless.
Who brought it up first?
When the two of them arrived at the 4S shop, the manager thought that Qi Chengzhi was here to urge them to repair the car. He quickly explained, "Mr. Qi, we're already repairing the car. However, the damage is quite serious. We'll try to repair it next week."
"I'm here to look at the new car," Qi Chengzhi said calmly.
"Then, that car …" the manager asked.
"It still needs to be repaired," Qi Chengzhi said.
"Okay, okay!" The manager was very happy when he heard that. He became even more attentive. "Mr. Qi, what car do you want to see this time?"
"It's still a Range Rover. Can I take it out now?" Qi Chengzhi asked as he led Song Yu inside.
"Yes, of course." The manager nodded immediately. "If you like it, you can immediately go through the procedures and take the car away."
Qi Chengzhi bought a top-of-the-line car according to the standard of the original one. He had been driving the original car for four years, so this time he bought the new model.
Although it was a new model, there were some small changes in the configuration and other aspects. In fact, there was not much difference.
Qi Chengzhi called Chang Lai and drove the new Range Rover to get a driving permit. The license plate was still the same as the original car. When Chang Lai was done, he could drive the new car to pick Song Yu up after work at night.
When they went back at noon, they still sat in the Jaguar. Song Yu thought about the car that was still being repaired and asked, "How's the investigation of the car accident?"
"It's not that easy. It's only been a few days since the car accident. The car didn't have a license plate. From the surveillance video at the entrance of Zhijing Garden, they could barely recognize that it was a Hummer. There were too many Hummers in B City. Moreover, that car definitely didn't have anything to do with Jianyi. It's most likely that it was a smuggled car or a rental company. However, the possibility of the latter is very small. Cheng Dongge has already checked all the car repair shops in B City. It's impossible for the other party to find a legitimate one. They can only look for some illegal ones. The most frightening thing is that the car was shipped directly out of the country. The country is so big. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. "
"In addition, Chang Lai is also looking for smuggled cars. There are several large organizations in B City. If their scope can be here, it'll be much easier," Qi Chengzhi explained. "As for Jian Yi, it's impossible for him to do it himself. On the night of the car accident, the private detective also found an alibi for him. We just have to see if we can find the right person. "
Song Yu also thought that this matter might be very troublesome. However, if they couldn't find the culprit, she would always feel uneasy. She was always worried that the other party would rush out again and hurt Qi Chengzhi. Or even …
"Don't worry." He squeezed her hand. "I've already asked someone to keep an eye on Jian Yi."
…
…
At the Jian family's house, Zhou Mingyan looked at her two old colleagues who had come to visit her house. She had retired last year. However, the other two were two years younger than her. They were still working.
The two of them also lived nearby. Almost everyone in this area was her and Jian Shibo's colleagues.
These buildings were built by Jian Shibo's company thirty years ago. At that time, the housing prices weren't so ridiculous. Therefore, the people in the company bought the houses with the employee benefits.
The house that Zhou Mingyan's company was assigned to was at the back. It was very close. She didn't buy it. However, these two people did.
She didn't know where they heard that she and Jian Shibo were in the middle of a divorce. She didn't know if they came to comfort her or to laugh at her.
Zhou Mingyan hadn't agreed to the divorce yet. She had been holding the household register in her hands. In the end, she still didn't want to divorce.
"There's nothing like that." Zhou Mingyan said with a fake smile. "The two of us just had a disagreement about something. We had a fight. It was really a big fight. However, Old Jian was just throwing a tantrum. He went out for a few days to calm down. It'll be fine once his temper subsides. We've been husband and wife for decades. I know his temper very well. We've fought a few times in the past. How can a husband and wife not have a fight? How can you believe the words that you say during a fight? "
"Oh, by the way, I have to call my daughter-in-law," Zhou Mingyan said as she took out the new phone that Guan Xiaolin bought for Jian Yi before he got divorced.
"Daughter-in-law?" Zheng Cuilan was surprised. "Isn't Jian Yi divorced? Your relationship with your daughter-in-law is quite good. "
"It's not that." Zhou Mingyan said proudly. "Jian Yi is quite popular. Isn't there a rich lady who likes him? She wants to be with him no matter what."
"Oh, I remember now. Isn't it the Guan Xiaolin that was mentioned in the news?" Zhang Huizhi said. "The news said that she was with Jian Yi before he got divorced. The Qi family found out about it. Is that why Jian Yi got divorced?"
"That's not true!" Zhou Mingyan's expression immediately sank. "The news is so good! Isn't the Qi family trying to confuse the truth and smear Jian Yi's name? Our family has no money or power. Of course, we can't fight against them. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone was picked up. Zhou Mingyan immediately put on a smile. Her voice was very gentle. "Xiaolin! It's me, Jian Yi's mother. "
"…"
"It's nothing. I just missed you so I wanted to call you. Speaking of which, you haven't come to visit us for a few days. I miss you too. "
"…"
"What? You're not feeling well? Where are you feeling unwell? I'll go and see you. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. "
"…"
"Oh, I see. Alright then, have a good rest!" Zhou Mingyan hung up the phone and laughed. "I already see this child as my daughter-in-law. She's filial and tactful. She's not like the other one. She always makes me angry. In order to please Jian Yi, Guan Xiaolin treats me very well. Look at this phone. She bought it for me. "
"She told you that she's not feeling well?" Zheng Cuilan asked.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mingyan asked suspiciously.
"Oh, isn't my daughter a nurse in Chutian Hospital?" Zheng Cuilan was proud of her daughter.
Zhou Mingyan didn't like to see her like this. Ever since her daughter got into Chutian Hospital, she had been showing off about it every day.
"Because of the news a while ago, Guan Xiaolin became quite famous. As soon as she got into the hospital, all the doctors and nurses spread the news. My daughter said that Guan Xiaolin went to the hospital for an abortion. She said that she's not feeling well now, so she's staying in the hospital after the abortion. She said that she's going to the confinement center behind the hospital tomorrow. " Zheng Cuilan suddenly realized something. Her expression changed and she looked at Zhou Mingyan strangely. "That child can't be Jian Yi's, right?"
"But that can't be right. You said that they got together after Jian Yi got divorced. But it's only been a few days since Jian Yi got divorced!" Zheng Cuilan looked at Zhou Mingyan sympathetically. "Could it be that she had a child with someone else and was abandoned? So, she quickly came to Jian Yi and let him be the father? Didn't you say that she would follow Jian Yi no matter what? I think that's possible. Otherwise, how could such a rich girl — "
"What are you talking about? That child is Jian Yi's! "Zhou Mingyan interrupted Zheng Cuilan angrily.
"Ah, so they were together before Jian Yi's divorce, right? Oh, this is a mistress. Jian Yi even cheated on her. He shouldn't have done that. " Zheng Cuilan shook her head and sighed. "But if that's the case, why did they have to abort the child? Are they okay with their relationship? Or is it because they're young and don't want it? Jian Yi is almost thirty. If he doesn't want it, when will he want it? "
Zheng Cuilan blinked and moved forward. She leaned closer to Zhou Mingyan and said, "Or … the Guan family doesn't agree?"
Zhou Mingyan couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and took her bag. "I have something to do. I won't keep you guys!"
Zheng Cuilan and Zhang Huizhi looked at each other and laughed dryly. "Haha, it's time for us to go. We have something to do."
…
…
Zhou Mingyan carried her bag. She was so angry that she didn't take the bus. She took a taxi to Chutian Hospital and asked for Guan Xiaolin's ward. She didn't expect her to be hospitalized here.
Zhou Mingyan's face was gloomy. She took the elevator upstairs angrily and came to Guan Xiaolin's ward. She looked through the window. There was only Guan Xiaolin and a sister-in-law who was taking care of her.
The sister-in-law of the Guan family was a Hakka. She was very familiar with all kinds of healthy recipes.
At this moment, Guan Xiaolin was drinking the chicken wine soup that the sister-in-law made for her. The door was suddenly pushed open. Guan Xiaolin looked up and saw Zhou Mingyan walking in. She was slightly surprised. "Auntie, why are you here?"
"Didn't I hear that you were sick? I came to see you, "Zhou Mingyan said coldly." What illness? You look fine. "
Guan Xiaolin put the bowl on the bedside table and didn't say anything.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you too ashamed to see me? Are you too ashamed to talk to me? "Zhou Mingyan said through gritted teeth.
"It seems that you already know. That's right. I had an abortion." Guan Xiaolin was not in the mood to deal with Zhou Mingyan now. Not only was Zhou Mingyan angry, but she was also vexed. She was forced by the Qi family to abort the child. She couldn't take it lying down.
Now Zhou Mingyan was angry and accusing her, which made Guan Xiaolin's mood even worse.
She didn't like Zhou Mingyan in the first place. She was just trying to please her.
"It's all Qi —" Guan Xiaolin had just said the word "Qi", but Zhou Mingyan suddenly hit her on the head with the bag.
There was a metal base nailed under the bag. It hit Guan Xiaolin, along with the hardest corner of the bag, and directly broke the corner near Guan Xiaolin's temple.
Guan Xiaolin only cared about the pain and didn't realize that she had just had an operation. She was very weak and her face was pale. She was suddenly hit by Zhou Mingyan and fell on the bed.
Before she could get up, Zhou Mingyan hit her again with the bag.
Zhou Mingyan was already mad. She didn't hear Guan Xiaolin's words at all. She grabbed Guan Xiaolin's hair and pulled her head up. Then, she kept hitting her with the bag.
"Why did you abort Jian Yi's child? Why did you abort the child of the Jian family? Why did you abort my grandson?! You didn't even tell me! Do you think that you can't afford it now that you're rich? You didn't even discuss it with Jian Yi! Did you even discuss it with Jian Yi?! Even if I called you, you didn't plan to tell me! How could you abort your own child?! "Zhou Mingyan was so angry that she kept hitting Jian Yiling.
