Chapter 39

The man saw her expression and shrugged, "Don't look at me like that. Our relationship isn't that strained yet, is it?"

The person who came was Kang Lening.

Qiao saw Kang Lening only when she came back, and it was also at that time that she gave him Xue Xiaochen's contact information.

So now she didn't know what this person was going to do here.

"Were you talking to your lover on the phone just now?" the young man asked with a smile as he opened the soda she gave him.

"If you come here just to say some meaningless sarcastic remarks, I don't mind kicking you out right now." Joe also glanced at him coldly.

"Okay, okay. Let's change the subject. I just saw there seems to be another one in the yard..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao opened the door and said, "Please, take care."

Kang Lening: “…”

Perhaps realizing that if he didn't get straight to the point, he would really be kicked out by the other party, Kang Lening twitched his mouth.

I'd better tell you the purpose of coming here.

"I found a surprise. Are you interested in learning about it?" He crossed his hands, supported his head, and looked at her with a smile.

For some reason, Qiao also saw him like this and couldn't help twitching the corner of his eye.

An ominous premonition came over me.

Her intuition told her that this was not a good thing.

But she still asked, "What surprise do you want to tell me?"

"Okay. Take a look. I came to you as soon as I got the information." Kang Kening raised his head at her proudly, as if saying "I'm fine."

Qiao also looked at the pile of documents on the table.

The information was covered with a blank A4 paper, but one could tell with the naked eye that there were at least sixty or seventy pages of information.

What on earth could make Kang Lening send it over without stopping?

Every time her hand moved closer to the documents, her uneasiness grew.

When her fingers touched the paper, she withdrew her hand.

With his arms folded, he stood in front of the table and looked down at Kang Lening. "What kind of information is this that requires me to open it myself? Why don't we ask Young Master Kang to explain the whole story to me?"

Hearing this, Kang Lening raised the corner of his mouth, "I would like to tell you in person, but..."

As he spoke, the young man glanced at the documents on the table and added meaningfully, "It would be better if Miss Qiao could see the contents in person."

He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body. "Okay, I won't disturb Miss Qiao's private time. You can choose to read this thing or not. Of course, the choice is yours."

He walked to the door, as if he had thought of something, and turned to look at her again, "Oh, by the way. There is one more thing I want to tell you, your new little black cat is very cute."

After saying that, she was the only one left in the room.

Qiao also looked at the things on the table with a cold expression. After a moment of silence, he brought the black cat in from outside.

Maybe at this time, if there was something alive to keep her company, things would be better.

The little black cat didn't struggle when she held it. It just sat obediently in her arms, licking its paws occasionally.

Joe also picked up the information on the table.

If it wasn't something extremely urgent, Kang Lening wouldn't give it to her.

There wasn't much in the information, but the content was like a bolt from the blue, leaving her frozen in place.

She thought she had seen a lot of ups and downs, and she didn't feel this way when she went bankrupt overnight.

But when I saw this information, I felt that there was such a thing.

After reading these things, Qiao also fell on the sofa, one arm resting on her eyes.

Seeing stars.

By this time she had calmed down.

She calmly picked up these things and lit them with a lighter until everything was burned to ashes. Then she let go and took out a broom to sweep these things up.

After doing all this, Joe made himself lunch as usual.

The lunch in Country M is not as sumptuous as that in Country China, so she always buys the ingredients and cooks it herself.

After finishing, ask the housekeeping lady to wash all the dishes in the house.

It's the same this time.

The difference was that she made herself a cup of coffee.

She doesn't drink coffee very often, and only makes it when she's under extreme pressure.

I hate the bitterness of coffee, but I am extremely dependent on this bitterness that tortures my nerves.

Everything she had just seen kept replaying in her mind.

Finally, her eyes fell on the little black cat.

So she squatted down and stroked its head: "It is said that black cats are a symbol of bad luck. Do you think this statement is right or wrong?"

It seemed like a sigh, but also seemed like he was trying to figure out the truth of this sentence.

Finally, she stood up and ignored the little black cat.

I returned to the study and found a business card that had been covered in dust for a long time.

The name above is: Xu Shen.

*

The woman sitting on the sofa had burgundy hair and a serious expression, as if she had encountered some trouble.

Xu Shen also came here shortly after Qiao Ye came to Country M.

As luck would have it, it’s not far from Qiaoye University.

Of course, to outsiders, the two people have nothing in common.

Only Xu Shen knew what kind of shocking actions this seemingly normal person would have taken if she had not come. It was another matter.

She looked at Qiao Ye and saw some psychological tests that Qiao Ye was doing.

"My dear Joe, you don't look very well now." She sighed softly, looking quite helpless.

"I know." Joe also glanced at her. "If I had lost my mind now, do you think I could still stand in front of you and talk to you like this?"

"But you said you wanted to..." Xu Shen looked at the form in his hand, opened his mouth, and then said half-doubtfully: "Qiao Yang's death?"

"Yeah." Qiao responded indifferently, and even asked her: "Shouldn't he die?"

"Even though he is extremely hateful, killing is against the law."

"Of course I know this." Joe also looked at her, seemingly unconcerned about his father's condition. "So, the law protects him."

"..." Xu Shen didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

"Of course murder is against the law, but accidents are not." Qiao suddenly looked at her with great interest. "If he had an accident, then could all this be considered..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Xu Shen slam the table and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Qiao Ye—do you know what you are saying?"

Such a serious tone made Qiao Ye's originally excited brain cool down instantly, as if he didn't care about anything else at all.

"What did I say? I just wanted him to die." Qiao pursed his lips, "I think this is human nature..."

"Human nature? Who would plot the death of their own biological father?" Xu Shen's chest heaved violently, as if he couldn't stand her idea at all.

Joe was not the most difficult patient she had ever encountered, but he was an extremely crazy patient.

She looked normal and didn't look sick at all, but this very fact showed that she was very dangerous.

Before, Qiao Ye's attention was not on his father, so she didn't care about anything about her father.

But now Qiao has completely focused her attention on Qiao Yang.

"How can someone like him live so well in this world? I think he doesn't deserve to live."

"Qiao Ye." Xu Shen was somewhat helpless. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her brow, and said with a slightly tired look, "I think you need some sedatives. Perhaps sleep is the best solution for you right now."

As she spoke, she found her list and wrote down her medical instructions in a flamboyant style. "I hope you still remember that you are a patient. Not a madman."

After that, the doctor's orders were placed in front of her.

Joe also picked up the paper from the table and looked at the prescription she had written.

"Am I really wrong?"

"Didn't you say this before? Even though your father was annoying, he did everything he could. Overall, he was a pretty good father, wasn't he?"

Xu Shen said.

Originally, Qiao Ye's condition had gradually improved.

But for some reason, today she suddenly received a request for help from Qiao Ye, and she didn't even go home, but rushed over in a hurry.

It now seems that the situation on the scene is more difficult than she imagined.

She didn't know what had happened to Qiao, but she knew that if she didn't stop her now, the situation would only get worse.

"Can you tell me what you saw that changed your view of your father so much?"

She didn't believe that Joe would suddenly relapse for no reason.

The last time Qiao Ye had a relapse was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't want to see it again in her life.

Joe also gave her a strange look, then propped up his chin, as if to look her over, and said something completely off-topic: "He's just like any other man, isn't he?"

"..." Xu Shen felt uneasy, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I think you should know that I hate betrayal the most in my life. Anyone who betrays me will never have a good ending."

"So?" Xu Shen's lips trembled slightly. She had already vaguely guessed what Qiao was going to say.

But her mind still refused to believe this.

The woman did not reply to her but remained silent.

The entire living room fell into an eerie silence.

"If you really know something, I hope you can talk to him about it. After all, you are his only daughter, there is nothing that cannot be discussed..."

"No." Joe also shook his head and looked at her calmly. "You're wrong. Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"What?"

"He is indeed my biological father. I don't deny that. But, if..."

"Of course, I mean if. Just a hypothesis. What if he is my father, but... not just my father?"

The woman's words were like a knife, completely piercing the fact that she didn't want to believe.

"Doctor Xu, you know me best. Do you think he betrayed me?" Qiao Ye spoke softly, as if he was talking about today's weather.

"Should he die?"
