Chapter 91

The father and daughter were clearly arguing fiercely the day before, but when Jiang Yuan came, they unexpectedly did not mention what happened before.

Even Qiao Ye followed Qiao Yang to where Qiao Yang lived.

It’s completely different from the place Shang Yiran rented.

But this is normal. Although they all have their own houses in Mishiroda, due to the recent tense relationship with Qiao Yang, none of them have returned to their own places.

Qiao also changed his shoes and looked at his mother. "Why did you decide to come to Country M today? I was thinking of going back for the New Year."

These words seemed to be inquiries, but in fact she wanted to confirm whether Jiang Yuan's coming to Country M this time was her own idea or Qiao Yang's.

The woman sat on the sofa. "Actually, I wanted to come here on my own. You studied in Country M for four years, and then started a business there with that kid from the He family. It's been a long time since you've been back. Your father happened to be here, so I thought, our family of three hasn't been together for a long time, so I thought of coming to see you."

What she said made sense, so even Qiao Ye couldn't say she was wrong.

The woman looked at her and said, "I heard that the company you and that kid from the He family founded is going public?"

"Yeah. It will be ready for launch soon." Joe responded simply.

What she didn't say was that her company had actually submitted the materials twice, but was rejected each time.

As for why, her eyes fell on the man beside her.

The other party is busy making toast now.

Jiang Yuan had been on the plane for fifteen hours and was quite tired, so it seemed that he didn't hear their conversation at all.

"What about that kid from the He family? I thought you would at least be with him." Jiang Yuan looked behind her.

Qiao Ye paused as he poured the tea and replied nonchalantly, "Maybe he's in trouble. I don't know where he is."

"...Since you are partners, shouldn't you express your concerns for your partners?"

Qiao Yang brought the prepared toast over and said with a smile.

Qiao also looked at him and answered nonchalantly: "He and I are just partners. He can go wherever he wants. How would I know that?"

"I thought you would show concern for your partner."

"You're overthinking it."

Jiang Yuan immediately noticed that something was wrong between the father and daughter.

She frowned and looked at them, "Are you two, father and daughter, hiding something from me?"

Joe shrugged. "I'm not hiding anything from you. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask my dear father and see if he's hiding anything from you."

Jiang Yuan looked at the person next to him, his eyes hinting at him, wondering if there was something wrong with him too.

Qiao Yang walked over to her, put down the toast in his hand, and gave Qiao Ye three slices of toast. Then he walked over to Jiang Yuan, gently stroked her cheek, and whispered, "Ayuan, when have I ever lied to you?"

Seeing him like this, Qiao knew that his mother believed him.

This is the man's usual tactic, and this is why he has been able to keep Jiang Yuan secret so well for so many years.

Joe was also thinking about this while biting his toast.

Jiang Yuan went to bed early at night because the distance from China to Country M was very far.

After she fell asleep, Joe came out of his room.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a man in silk pajamas was shaking the red wine glass in his hand and looking at the city street scene in the distance.

Although he is already in his fifties, he does not have the belly or baldness of a middle-aged man.

On the contrary, because of years of fitness, he has maintained a very good figure.

In the words of today's young people, it might be: "uncle system"?

Hearing the noise behind him, he turned around and smiled: "You finally came out."

"You've already hinted at me like this. If I don't come out, wouldn't that be a betrayal of your kindness?"

"..." Qiao Yang recovered and stared at her, then sighed, "I didn't expect you've grown to this point after not seeing you for so long."

"Thanks to you, I do know a little. For example, three slices of bread, isn't that the middle of the night?"

In fact, she couldn't see these things at first.

At this point in time, she came out to try it out and see if it was what she thought it was.

The result was a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

"So why did you call me out so late?"

"I just want to discuss something with you."

"Tell me about it?"

"Please return the actual control of K Chamber of Commerce to me. You can ask for anything you want directly."

Qiao Yang was not surprised that he made such a request.

She looked him up and down. "Give me a reason. If your reason is that you want to leave some property to your illegitimate child outside, then I think there is nothing left to talk about between us."

Hearing her words, Qiao Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "You already know?"

"What do you mean?"

"Something about the child."

"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. If I wanted to know, wouldn't it be easy? Besides, I'm not a loser."

"..." The man drank the red wine in his hand. "Qiao's is ranked in the top 50 in the world, and I already knew you were the next in line when you came of age. You will be the future heir of Qiao's. Why are you so obsessed with a small chamber of commerce?"

"I don't care about your Qiao's. How did your Qiao's become like this? No one knows better than you, right?" Qiao also walked to his side and looked at Mishiroda at night.

“…”

"Besides, if I wanted to be one of the top 50 companies in the world, I could do it myself, right?"

“…”

Qiao Yang looked at her silently, "Is that so..."

"Qiao Yang. Actually, I don't ask for much. I just want you to give back everything you got from your mother. And then, I want you to divorce her the same way you married her."

Qiao Yang had already understood the meaning of her words.

I can give it to you, but you have to return everything you took from Jiang Yuan.

The man sighed softly, "No matter what we say, we are still father and daughter. Do you really have to be so heartless?"

"You've had bad intentions from the beginning. I don't think I want much. I think you can do the same."

“…”

Seeing that Qiao Yang didn't say anything, Qiao knew that he was right.

Just as Qiao Yang understood her, she also understood Qiao Yang.

It is said that a tiger father will have a dog son. Qiao Ye himself is a person who will not give up what he wants, and so is Qiao Yang.

It is true that the Qiao family has been able to reach its current stage with the help of Mr. Jiang, but more importantly, it also depends on Qiao Yang's own ability.

It was within Qiao Ye's expectations that he didn't hear Qiao Yang's answer.

"If you are willing to voluntarily give up the Chamber of Commerce and not stand in my way, then we still have room for negotiation. As for the rest..."

She looked him up and down. "I will naturally keep my mouth shut about my grandfather's death. This also includes your efforts to help the second son of the Xue family."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man pushed her against the French window.

The man who had always played the role of a gentle husband and kind father had a blank expression on his face.

"It seems that you know quite a lot."

"Thanks to you, I know everything I should know and shouldn't know." Joe also replied with a smile.

But that smile looked very cold, as if she didn't care at all about what he was thinking.

She reached out and pushed him away, patting her shoulder.

It was as if he wanted to shake off all the dust on his body.

"Instead of thinking about how to shut me up, you should think about what else you have to keep your mother. Once those people in Jiangcheng know what you have done, it will be a problem whether Qiao's company can still be retained."

After saying that, Qiao left the French window and returned to his room.

After returning to the room, Qiao Yang was the only one left in the living room outside.

No one noticed that Jiang Yuan, who was still in the room, secretly closed the door.

I don't know how much of their conversation she heard.

Qiao was also lying on the bed. It was already three o'clock in the morning, but she had no desire to sleep at all.

The phone lit up in the darkness.

She turned her head and looked at her phone.

It was a message from Shang Yiran, "Is your wound okay? Has it recurred?"

"No. Apart from being a little slow, I haven't seen any signs of the situation getting worse."

"That's good. Take care of yourself. You'll need to go to the hospital in three days to change the dressing."

"I see."

Qiao also changed to his own small account and began to infiltrate Pei Qing's circle of friends.

Pei Qing actually doesn’t like posting on WeChat Moments.

But if she eats something delicious every week, she is still happy to post it.

So when she clicked on it, she saw the circle of friends that Pei Qing had just posted.

It is indeed delicious.

The person sitting opposite her should be Xue Xiaochen, and the surrounding environment looks like an old hot pot restaurant in Beijing.

This post was posted on WeChat Moments exactly half an hour ago.

It’s still a nine-square grid.

Qiao also looked at the beautiful hot pot.

Well...she also wants to eat hot pot.

Apart from today's circle of friends, Pei Qing hasn't posted on WeChat Moments for three months.

Qiao couldn't help but think that he should have a good talk with Pei Qing when he got back and ask her to post more on WeChat Moments.

But she just took a look and didn't even comment on her post.

At this point in time, she didn't even dare to contact her.

But for some reason, she had already clicked on that circle of friends, and the phone keyboard popped up.

A slender finger tapped on it, and then a sentence was typed out.

"Ah Qing, I miss you."

As soon as she typed this sentence, she came to her senses, thought about it, and deleted it.

She didn't dare to pay attention to her now and just watched.

Finally, I simply turned off my phone, threw it aside, and closed my eyes.

No matter what, it’s not the time for her to go back. Seeing it will only make her miss him more.

She closed her eyes, trying to get her body to fall asleep quickly.

Well, actually, Pei Qing, I miss you too.
