Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 646 left him speechless.
Qiao Xing saw him sitting there dejectedly, head hanging low. She had known Yang Han for so long, and this was the first time she had ever seen him like this.
After hearing his story, Qiao Xing couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Then you called me over, but I can't do anything about it. Miss Xiao has her own opinions, and even you can't influence her, so I can't persuade her either. You might as well have a proper talk with her."
Yang Han said irritably, "If I could have a proper conversation, I wouldn't have asked you to come over. You know, didn't I try to have a proper conversation with her before? And what was the result? We ended up arguing."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth and turned to exchange a glance with Qin Ce.
Qin Ce remained silent, clearly unable to offer any help in this matter, as it was a matter between husband and wife, and outsiders had no right to interfere.
Yang Han stood up and looked at Qiao Xing with a pleading expression. "Sister-in-law, please go in and put in a good word for me. I beg you."
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, "I already said that before."
"Go talk to them again. You're all women, and you're pregnant. You have a lot in common, so you'll be more effective than me."
Qiao Xing sighed. Seeing his pleading eyes, she really couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Yang Han immediately went from worried to happy. If Qin Ce hadn't been there, he probably would have been so excited that he would have grabbed her hand.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law. If you can help me persuade her, I'll consider this a favor I owe you. You can ask me for help anytime in the future."
"Let's not talk about this now. I'll go in and take a look. I can't guarantee I can convince her."
"It's okay, just do your best."
Qiao Xing nodded and turned to walk into the ward.
Outside, Yang Han looked at Qin Ce with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Old Qin, you're so great. Look how much Qiao Xing listens to you."
Qin Ce thought of Shen Boyan, who always called Qiao Xing, and snorted coldly.
What are you humming about?
"nothing."
Qin Ce naturally wouldn't talk about their affair outside.
Qiao Xing appears to listen to him on the surface, but behind his back she's secretly busy with Big Bad Wolf Company's affairs, and she always assumes he doesn't know.
That Shen Boyan is also despicable; he even gave Qiao Xing forty percent of the shares, as if he was afraid she would run away.
Yang Han looked at him suspiciously, then glanced back at the ward, thinking to herself, "It seems there's something going on between these two."
Qiao Xing has arrived at the ward. Xiao Lin was not injured and did not need to be hospitalized. She had just had an argument with Yang Han and had not left yet.
However, when Qiao Xing went in, she was busy answering a phone call. Qiao Xing waited for a while and realized that she was talking about company matters, so she didn't go over to disturb her.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Lin finally hung up the phone.
She turned to look at Qiao Xing and said, "Excuse me, it's a call from the company."
Qiao Xing waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just heard from Yang Han that you were injured, so I came to check on you. Are you alright?"
Xiao Lin shook her head and got off the bed. Qiao Xing wanted to help her, but she refused and limped over to the sofa to sit down.
Qiao Xing followed and sat down. She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin.
Xiao Lin spoke first, "I'm fine, he just likes to make a mountain out of a molehill."
Qiao Xing said, "He's just concerned about you. Look how worried he is about you being injured."
“I know, but sometimes I don’t need all this concern. Instead, it can be a nuisance. If restricting someone’s freedom is a form of worry, then I guess a lot of people need this kind of worry.”
"..." Qiao Xing was rendered speechless by her words.
Xiao Lin said, "You may not have experienced this when you were a child. It was the kind of life where you were suffocated by your parents' control. When I was a child, I always thought that things would be better when I grew up, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't get rid of this kind of life when I grew up."
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything about caring about you or worrying about you.
“I understand, but you can have a good talk with him. There’s no need to make things so tense. Whether it’s your parents or anyone else, showing concern is not wrong, but they may be using the wrong methods. And these are all things that require communication.”
Xiao Lin shook her head. "His thinking is very simple. As long as I follow his ideas and let him arrange everything, that's enough. He just wants me to stay at home and wait to give birth to the child. That's the greatest care he can give me."
Qiao Xing was silent for a while. She and Qin Ce had also had something like this, but she had compromised.
Unlike her, Xiao Lin did not compromise.
"So what do you think?"
Xiao Lin said, "What I think doesn't matter. I've told him countless times that I'm not a child, I know my limits, and I can take care of myself, but he won't listen. What can I do?"
"Hmm..." Qiao Xing couldn't tell whose side she should stand on for a moment. These two were so contradictory, neither of them was willing to give in.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and then said, "So, you don't actually have to go to work, you just don't want to be controlled by him?"
"Not entirely. I go to work mainly because I'm too busy right now. I want to get through this busy period first. I'm already overwhelmed enough at the company, and he's just making things worse for me."
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she lowered her head and pinched the bridge of her nose.
After a while, she looked at Qiao Xing again and said, "Instead of trying to persuade me, you should try to persuade him. I think his reaction was really a bit too extreme."
"..."
Qiao Xing was completely speechless.
She could only end the topic, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I just wanted to come see you. My cousin's new store opened today, and he encountered some problems at the store. If Baiyi can't get back in time, I don't know if it will affect the operation of the new store."
"Probably not. She must have already made arrangements when she comes back. A few days' delay is nothing. She's been reporting her work progress to me during this time, and I think she's doing a good job. I knew I hadn't misjudged her."
Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Xiao Lin praise Bai Yi, she was genuinely happy for Bai Yi.
"That's good. I also think she's amazing, but she's been held back by some things."
Qiao Xing thought of the man named Wu Wei. Judging from their conversation, he didn't seem to be Bai Yi's ex-boyfriend.
It seems that Bai Yi has quite a few secrets, and with the appearance of a man named Wu Wei, her secrets will probably surface soon.
Qiao Xing's attempts to persuade her failed. After chatting with Xiao Lin for a while, he got up to say goodbye.
She went outside, and Yang Han stared at her expectantly, asking, "How did it go?"
