Chapter 30
Mr. Kang’s birthday party is coming soon.
Qiao did not go to Kang's house in advance, but lingered at home until it was almost time to go.
Of course, Qiao Yang did not leave, but instead warned her: "If it is not necessary, don't get involved in the Kang family's affairs."
But Qiao also smiled without saying anything. Just when Qiao Yang was about to give her some instructions, she slowly said, "Don't worry about me. I have my own plans."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yang shut his mouth instantly, no matter what he was about to say.
He looked at his daughter, who had become much more mature than she was five years ago, and finally chose to believe her.
"If you have your own plans, I won't interfere with you."
After saying that, the man left.
Joe also stared at the man's figure, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Her intuition told her that she should say something, but she couldn't open her mouth, as if she was about to say something hurtful.
In the end, she still said nothing.
She was the only one left in the study.
But she didn't have time to think about these things now, so she changed her clothes.
Originally, Qiao's mother chose a white dress for her, which looked elegant and graceful.
But Qiao Ye herself doesn't like wearing long skirts because they always make her feel weak.
Instead, she chose a white short skirt, which is very slim-fitting.
Clean and neat.
Qiao also got in the car, and this time it was Uncle Zhang who took her to the Kang family's old house.
Uncle Zhang looks a little older after not seeing him for five years.
Neither of them spoke along the way.
It wasn't until they arrived at the Kang family's old house that Uncle Zhang said his first words: "Miss, if the party is over, you can call me and I will come to pick you up."
"Yes. Sorry to bother Uncle Zhang."
By this time, most of the guests had arrived.
Standing at the door to welcome the guests was Xue Xiaochen.
"Then Uncle Li, please go in first. My grandfather is already waiting inside."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Xue Xiaochen at this time was like two different people from the Xue Xiaochen in school before.
She had a faint smile on her face and even wore light makeup. She looked very simple and elegant, and seemed like the designated heir of the Kang family.
The whole person is decent and elegant.
Seeing Qiao Ye, she came forward and extended her hand, "I thought you wouldn't come today."
Qiao also looked at her and extended his hand to shake it back. "That's not the case. Since I promised you, I will definitely come."
"Then let's go in first. The appetizers are ready. Let's see if there's anything you like."
"Thank you for remembering my little hobby." Qiao also raised his eyebrows.
"Of course."
The Kang family's old house is located halfway up Zihua Mountain in Beijing.
It is also the largest house here in terms of area.
Joe didn't go to where the crowds gathered, but found a corner and started eating the small cakes on the table.
This position was enough for her to see eighty percent of the people in the banquet hall.
At this time, a woman walked up to her and sat down.
Just as she was about to pick up the small cake she had set her eyes on, someone snatched it away.
She turned again and was about to take another one, but as luck would have it, someone snatched it away again.
Qiao was also a little displeased. She raised her head, wanting to see who was so tactless as to take things that other people liked every day.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a familiar woman.
The woman was wearing a bright red dress, which was bold and passionate, and her burgundy hair made her look sexy and mature.
Seeing her, Qiao raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect to see her here.
The person who came was Shang Yiran, who attended the charity dinner in Beijing during the National Day holiday five years ago.
This was the first time Qiao had seen her in five years. They had been in contact before, but at that time they communicated through email or something else.
There weren't many actual meetings.
"It's so rare to see you," Joe also said.
"I should be the one saying this." The woman smiled.
"I just didn't expect to see our Chamber of Commerce president here."
"That's not surprising. I have connections in almost the entire business community, not to mention it's Mr. Kang's birthday." Shang Yiran shrugged. "But I didn't expect to see our Miss Qiao here either."
"Obviously, we were both surprised."
Originally, Qiao thought that the woman in front of him was cooperating with her for a win-win situation, but later he found out that this person was not that simple.
It would be more accurate to say that they want to use her to open up some markets that are not available in the country rather than cooperating with her.
I have to say that this person is bold and careful, and ruthless enough.
Qiao also looked behind her, but there was nothing there. "Where's your little lover?"
If she remembered correctly, this woman should have a girlfriend. She could be seen with her girlfriend before, but now it seemed like there was no one around her.
Shang Yiran knew what she was looking at, but her expression remained unchanged, as if she was discussing the weather. "Catcats are wild. We have to let her go out for a while. If she can't survive, she'll know to come back."
After hearing her words, Qiao immediately knew what she meant.
She nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is."
"yes."
The two of them chatted idly.
Suddenly, Shang Yiran seemed to have thought of something and looked at her with interest. "Did you know that the inheritance lawyer hired by the Kang family this time is a newcomer?"
"Newcomer?" She didn't know about this.
Before, I only heard Xue Xiaochen say that it was the old man’s birthday today and he really needed to find a lawyer.
But this kind of thing is not a big deal to them.
After all, people often do this.
So Qiao Ye didn't take this matter to heart at that time, but now that Shang Yiran brought it up, she might have something she didn't know.
"Yes. It's said to be a newcomer who just graduated from college. Although he's being led by other lawyers, for a newcomer to participate, either he has someone behind him, perhaps some little prince or princess out to experience life; or he's truly formidable, a rising star at Chaoyang Law Firm."
Chaoyang Law Firm is the main law firm responsible for the notarization of the estate.
It is also the most famous red circle law firm in Beijing.
"I'm not interested in who the lawyer is. After all, I'm not the one paying for the lawyer. Since the old man agrees, there's nothing for others to say. Otherwise, it would seem like they're being nosy."
Although Qiao Ye said this, an old friend still emerged involuntarily in her mind.
She hadn't thought about her since she returned to China. One of the reasons was that she didn't need to devote her attention to a selfish person.
Plus...
Her eyes fell on Xia Yi who was not far away.
After Xia Yi agreed to her conditions in the bar that day, Xue Xiaochen sent him an invitation the next day.
According to common sense, Xia Yi should not have been qualified to come here, but because of them, he appeared at Mr. Kang’s birthday party today.
I just don't know what happened to that former classmate.
However, given her cautious personality, it would be quite difficult to find any evidence against her, Joe thought.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very glad that you can take a few moments out of your busy schedules to attend Mr. Kang's birthday party. It's an honor for me, Kang."
A passionate male voice came from the stage, attracting the attention of most people.
Qiao also knew the person above, he was Mr. Kang’s eldest son.
Mr. Kang had five children in his life, all born to his wife.
Four boys and one girl.
That girl is Xue Xiaochen's mother.
But this girl is the one who has the most unhappy life.
A lovesick woman married a heartless man.
Despite this, he still listened to his family and took Xue Xiaochen to Jiangcheng.
Because the mother and daughter were not in the capital, this only son-in-law was retaliated against by the entire Kang family.
His career plummeted, and he didn't even dare to bring his illegitimate child back to China, so he could only live in Country M.
This time, he also wanted to take advantage of Mr. Kang's birthday party to divorce Xue Xiaochen's mother, obtain the divorce property, and then run away with his little lover.
But Miss Kang is a love-brained person, but her family members are not.
As early as when they got married, Mr. Kang could see that his son-in-law had bad intentions.
So apart from a car and a villa as a dowry, she was not given any of the previous things.
Of course, even this car and this villa were Miss Kang’s pre-marital property, and his name was not even written on them.
Qiao was also curious as to why the Kang family members were so shrewd, including Xue Xiaochen, who although was too lazy to socialize, would definitely not let himself suffer any loss. Why was Miss Kang the only one who was so love-brained?
As for the people on the stage, they just said a few polite words and then left the stage.
Then the old man, supported by his children, slowly walked up to the stage to speak.
Of course, Qiao was too lazy to listen to these polite words.
Xue Xiaochen walked over to her with a glass of wine and sat down.
Shang Yiran saw the little girl in front of him and smiled, "I thought Miss Xue would sit in the front."
After all, those sitting at the front desk are all direct relatives of the Kang family.
"Those who are sitting there are uncles and aunts. How can we youngsters be qualified?" Xue Xiaochen said half-truthfully.
"I heard that the inheritance lawyer you recently hired is a newcomer?" Joe also turned his head and asked.
Hearing her ask this, Xue Xiaochen's expression became strange, he hesitated to speak, and finally nodded, "That's right."
Her behavior aroused Qiao Ye's curiosity.
"Who on earth is this person that makes you hesitate like this? You weren't like this before."
Xue Xiaochen pursed his lips and said, "This lawyer, you should have some memory of this person."
As soon as she said this, a name flashed through Qiao Ye's mind.
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard her friend in front of her say, "That was the one who used to work in the law department of University A, Pei Qing."
In an instant, all the noisy sounds around seemed to be blocked out.
Qiao Ye even scratched his ears in an unseemly manner and looked at her in disbelief, "Are you serious?!"
