Chapter 62

After Qiao Ye left Xu Shen, she turned back into the elegant lady she used to be.

He is completely different from before.

But this time, Xu Shen still prescribed some medicine for her and told her, "If you feel something is wrong, take it. I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself. Call me if you need to. I'm always here."

"I see."

It has been a week since I came back from Xu Shen's place.

Qiao Ye also received a call from his mother this week.

Qiao's mother on the other end of the phone looked normal, as if nothing had happened.

But Qiao grew up with his mother and was very familiar with everything about her.

So she could tell something was wrong almost instantly.

Qiao also clicked the ballpoint pen in his hand, not giving his mother a chance to continue speaking. "Mom, tell me, what do you know about him? I need you to tell me everything."

Her slightly cold tone silenced the other party.

If he hadn't been calculating the time, Qiao would have almost thought that his mother had hung up the phone.

"Xiao Ye, this matter is not what you think..." The woman stammered, as if she didn't want to mention it at all.

"Then don't talk." Joe interrupted her without hesitation. "I'm busy. If you don't have something urgent to tell me, I'll hang up first."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the woman to speak.

It has been a week since Qiao Yang came to Country M. During this entire week, Qiao did not take the initiative to look for him. She mostly stayed in the office, busy with the company's preparations for listing.

What she was waiting for was Qiao Yang to come and see her. The mother and daughter who had been downstairs in the company that day suddenly stopped coming after a few days.

He must have been warned, so he didn't come again.

Of course, she doesn't care about these things.

Qiao Ya looked at the listing information. All of this information was written by He Shanyi. She trusted the things written by this guy the most, so she just glanced at it and put it aside.

Boom, boom, boom

"Come in."

The secretary pushed open the door, stood at the entrance, and said, "President, a man named Qiao Yang is looking for you downstairs. But he doesn't have an appointment, so he doesn't know where you are..."

Just now she was wondering whether Qiao Yang was planning to stay in the hotel, but now she heard this news.

She smiled and said nonchalantly, "Let him come up."

"Yes, ma'am."

After saying that, the secretary left.

The office is very large and also has the best view in the entire company.

Soon, the sound of the elevator rising was heard, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Joe didn't even look up, but he knew who it was without having to think.

The man walked straight in and sat on the sofa not far from her desk.

She then raised her head and looked at him.

It was different from what she remembered. Maybe because a lot had happened recently, there were already visible white hairs in it.

He was wearing a black suit and a huge hat on his head.

But after coming in, he hung his hat on the clothes hanger beside him and looked tired.

It looks like he hasn't had enough rest recently.

"I wonder how my father is having fun in Country M after being here for so long?" Qiao also put down the ballpoint pen in his hand and asked casually.

Her question froze the man, and then he forced a smile: "This isn't my first time in Country M, so I haven't been out and about."

"Oh. Then why doesn't Father go for a walk? After all, some cultural traditions in Country M are still quite different from those in China."

"I came to Country M for something, so I'll do it first."

"Once things are done, you can also go to Country M for a visit."

Qiao Ye's words successfully made the man look up, and then he saw her half-smile.

Qiao Yang also realized that what Qiao Ye said was intentional.

He paused. "If you're referring to the frequent riots and unrest in Country M, then I've certainly witnessed that. Besides that, I'm wondering if you have any unique cultural backgrounds you'd like to share with me?"

These two people are worthy of being father and daughter, their tones of speech are very similar.

Qiao Ye also understood the meaning of his words: she planned Pei Qing's affairs, and he saw everything.

Unfortunately, Qiao didn't care about him at all. Her focus was elsewhere.

The woman crossed her arms, supporting her chin, and looked at him with interest: "Oh? Then Mr. Qiao, are you going to be a righteous man? For example, report me to the Justice Bureau?"

Hearing this, the man just raised his head and said, "Qiao Ye, you know why I came here this time."

"How would I know if my father didn't tell me?" Qiao smiled innocently, as if she truly didn't know. "I only know my father came to Country M, but I was busy with official duties, so I couldn't be with him in his old age."

Qiao Yang looked at her silently, as if trying to confirm whether she really didn't know.

Qiao was not in a hurry either. She was like a good hunter, quietly waiting for the prey to fall into the trap she had carefully set.

After a long time, Qiao Yang finally spoke.

"The money in the foundation, stay."

With just one sentence, the fake smile on Qiao Ye's face gradually disappeared.

She looked at him expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard him clearly. She even exaggeratedly scratched her ears with her fingers. "I didn't hear what you said clearly. My dear father, would you please repeat it again?"

As if Qiao Yang didn't hear the threat in her tone, he said again: "The money in the foundation, stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand and looked at the mahogany tabletop. "Who are you to make this request to me?"

She was too calm, completely different from the loud noise that Qiao Yang had expected.

For a moment he was unsure what she wanted.

Before he could say anything, Qiao continued, "The foundation's client? Or my father? Or... the position of an unfaithful husband?"

The last sentence made Qiao Yang completely relieved.

He looked at the woman in front of him, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

This girl whom he had never paid attention to has grown into a qualified businessman.

He felt a little sad about how fast time passed.

But he hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming here. "The entire Qiao Group in China is yours. They... only have this one fund. What's more, Xiaomi is your sister..."

Before he could finish his words, something brushed his face, fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

There was a scrape on his face.

Qiao Ye, however, acted as if nothing had happened and continued to turn her pen. "Someone, show the guest away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yang stood up and said in a dark tone, "This fund was deposited in my name. Are you sure you want to take advantage of this money?"

Qiao didn't care about his words at all. She shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Let's give it a try. We don't know who will win anyway."

"Qiao Ye—" Qiao Yang raised his voice, his voice extremely unhappy: "Is this how you talk to your father?!"

"If you're just here to say these things to make me happy, then I'm busy and don't have time to argue with you."

As he spoke, Joe also pressed the bell on the table.

The office door was opened.

The man who was about to enter the door was neither sure whether to go forward nor to retreat.

He could only look at Qiao Ye innocently, "Hmm...it looks like you guys have some personal matters to deal with here?"

Qiao Yang looked at her deeply and said, "Think carefully about what I said. If you have made up your mind, tell me..."

Qiao also interrupted him with a sneer, "You can come and try it out and see whether you, who has not been away from Country M for many years, are more capable, or I, who is just starting out. Well, Mr. Qiao, goodbye."

Qiao Yang put his huge hat on his head again and said, "You and I are father and daughter. I don't want to make the atmosphere between us so awkward."

After Qiao Yang had completely left, He Shanyi, who had just been standing at the door, walked in and shook his head in disappointment: "Tsk, so it's the old father who's asking for peace. I thought I'd see some exciting footage."

"Are you the only one who talks too much?" Joe gave him an impatient look.

He Shanyi: "."

He Shan opened his mouth with accusations, making himself sound like a victim: "My secretary called me and said there were crackling noises coming from your office. I was afraid you were committing a heinous crime in there, so I drove over here without even drinking the wine that the little beauty offered me. But before I could even say anything, you scolded me. I feel more wronged than Dou E..."

Qiao Ye: “…”

She rubbed her brows tiredly.

She had indeed lost her composure just now.

Seeing that she had calmed down, He Shanyi said, "After all, he is your father. There is no need to make a big fuss."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he did, Joe got furious. "He's my dad now, but he might not be in the future."

“…”

"But you are going to break up with him now. Our company hasn't gone public yet. If he says something when we go public, I'm afraid you won't be the only one who suffers the loss." He Shanyi persuaded her earnestly to put the overall situation first.

But Joe just glanced at him and said, "Then let's go big."

“…”

The two of them were indeed of the same ilk. He Shanyi immediately understood what she meant. He had just been thinking of trying to persuade her, but now he had no intention of doing so. He simply smiled brighter than a sunflower, looking completely happy to watch the fun: "That's a great feeling, how do you want to play?"

"If he wants to attack me, then let him. I'm barefoot, so why should I be afraid of someone wearing shoes?"

"Injure the enemy by a thousand, and lose eight hundred of your own. I like that." He Shan said, "What about the child? After all, she's your sister..."

"She has hands and feet, what else can I do? I'm not like someone who would hit a minor." Joe also glanced at him.

The man didn't care that she was implying something about him. "In my opinion, it's best to eliminate the root of the problem, isn't it?"

Just as Qiao Yang knows Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye also knows Qiao Yang very well.

She had not planned to take action against the Qiao family in China before because the Qiao family was there and Qiao Yang's disguise was so good that except for his background, people on her maternal grandfather's side could not find any fault with him.

But now it's different.

How can a mistress and her bastard deserve to get a penny from their family?

Not only did she want to take back everything they had taken, she also wanted them to pay back the money with interest.

Not returning?

That's a great feeling, go to jail.
