Chapter 34
Qiao also put on the coat that Xia Yi had prepared early in the morning through the back door and walked straight out.
The wide windbreaker covered her tightly.
Instead of going home, she walked in another direction.
Xia Yi's bar is located in a bustling area of the capital, and there are basically many shops similar to his nearby.
But she was not going to a restaurant, but a teahouse.
Someone was already waiting for her there.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the sweet aroma of tea.
This tea has a refreshing effect.
She hung her coat on a hanger nearby and walked towards a certain direction with a clear purpose.
When she opened the door, there was already a woman sitting inside.
Hearing the noise, she slowly raised her head.
She didn't seem surprised to see it was her.
"Long time no see, Miss Qiao."
"Long time no see." Qiao also responded, paused, looked at her calmly, and said: "Sister Ling."
If Pei Qing were here at this moment, she would definitely recognize that the person in front of her was Sister Ling who had helped her before.
It also warned her to stay away from people like Qiao Ye.
But at this moment, her face was pale, as if she had just experienced something terrible.
There were only two of them left in the narrow room.
＊
Pei Qing looked at the man in front of her. He was spinning a small USB drive on his index finger, while his other hand rested comfortably on the leather sofa.
His long legs crossed and the well-fitting suit made him look like a successful man.
He doesn't look like the fat boy who just graduated from technical secondary school.
His eyes were lazy, looking at her.
"Not bad. It seems that Mr. Xia has left a deep impression on Lawyer Pei."
"I just don't know what Young Master Xia wants to do?" Pei Qing's expression had been put in order, and he was not as embarrassed as he was when he saw Qiao Ye just now.
"I heard your mother has come out?"
"So what?" Pei Qing asked him back, "I don't know why you two seem so interested in my father. I don't know what's so interesting about other people's family backgrounds."
Her words made the smile on Xia Yi's face suddenly turn cold.
He wanted to say something, but after hearing what she said, he decided not to say it.
"Nothing." Xia Yi turned the U in his hand around and put it away. "I just came to see Miss Pei off."
After saying that, the door of the box they were in slowly opened.
Xia Yi's sudden change in attitude made Pei Qing subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but she didn't know the man in front of her.
So you can only go out through this door.
Just as her feet landed at the door, Xia Yi's casual voice came from behind her.
"Ms. Pei, I guess Sister Ling must have told you five years ago not to mess with Mr. Qiao."
"..." Pei Qing paused and said, "I don't think I provoked her."
"That's good. As long as I didn't provoke her." Xia Yi shrugged.
Pei Qing's heart skipped a beat. Unsure why he suddenly brought this up, she subconsciously turned around, looking at him inquiringly. "What do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything. I'm just a dog by Mr. Qiao's side." Xia Yi chuckled, "I'm glad you still remember this."
Pei Qing wanted to say something, but she saw that Xia Yi had already made it clear that she wanted to see her off, so she didn't want to stay here for long.
I could only purse my lips and leave.
As soon as she left, Xia Yi's younger brother came over and looked at his eldest brother with confusion, "Why didn't you tell her just now?"
"There are always some unsuspecting creatures who dare to face the glimmer of thunder, right?" Xia Yi shrugged nonchalantly. "Since she has made up her mind, what else can I say?"
The younger brother below still didn't understand what he meant, "The video in the USB drive..."
"Just keep the video. Maybe it can help Master Qiao later." Xia Yi smiled, "But she can think of such a thing. No wonder Master Qiao is so angry when he sees her."
"Ah? So Mr. Qiao knew Lawyer Pei before?"
"Yes. What a pity. Someone who only wants to take advantage of others doesn't deserve the kindness of others."
"Is there anything else going on here?" My gossipy spirit was burning.
Seeing him like this, Xia Yi couldn't help but laugh, but she still said a few more words: "Mr. Qiao was ready to help her before. But she had evil intentions and wasted such a good opportunity. Later, Mr. Qiao simply took advantage of her. Even so, Mr. Qiao still recommended Sister Ling to her."
A smart person can understand what the other person means when he is halfway through speaking.
"So that's how it is."
Sister Ling is now the presiding judge of the A District Court in Beijing.
He also has a good relationship with Xia Yi.
The interests between them and people like Qiao Ye are complicated, especially Qiao Ye.
Although Qiao Ye always looked down on her father, one had to admit that Qiao Ye really had the same ruthlessness as the crazy Qiao Yang did back then.
He was one of the few people who knew something about the past of Qiao Ye's family.
At that time, Qiao Yang already had a girlfriend and they were even at the stage of discussing marriage.
I met Qiao Ye's mother at a cocktail party. Qiao Ye's mother's family is based in Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng is one of the most developed cities in the country.
Some of their family members even went directly to Beijing. If they could catch Qiao's mother's express train, they could possibly save forty years of hard work.
Qiao Yang keenly felt that the young lady in front of him was interested in him.
In order to ensure that he could become the husband of this young lady, he kicked his former fiancée away and began to pursue Qiao's mother fiercely.
Qiao's mother, who had always been well protected by her family, quickly agreed to be with him.
This marriage was initially opposed by Qiao Ye's grandfather.
The old man could tell at a glance what kind of person the man in front of him was.
But he couldn't withstand Qiao Yang's fierce siege and finally gave in.
Qiao Yang was required not to cheat on his wife or have illegitimate children in his life.
Qiao Yang also agreed to them one by one.
This is how the Qiao Group came into being.
Although Qiao Yang is a scumbag, he does have a talent for business.
And he fulfilled all the promises he made to the old man.
When Qiao's mother was pregnant with Qiao Ye, she went to the hospital for a sterilization.
After that, there wasn't even any rumors.
When people mention Qiao Yang, the first thing they say about him is "He is a good man."
But only Qiao knew that this man didn't love her mother at all. He even watched from afar when his ex-girlfriend got married.
Even though the two had never met, Qiao's mother still found out.
That was the first time she asked for a divorce.
In the end, the divorce did not happen.
But Qiao Yang didn't go home for more and more days.
I almost treat the office as my home.
This is also why Qiao Ye couldn't help but sneer at Qiao Yang every time he saw him, and even embarrassed Qiao Yang in public.
He heard all of this from her when she was drunk.
That was also the first time he saw Joe cry.
She didn't cry loudly like others, but just shed tears quietly.
Afterwards, they tacitly agreed not to mention what happened that night.
Perhaps Joe was willing to help him with his business because he was a tight-lipped person.
Xia Yi glanced at the younger brother beside him and said, "Only by keeping a tight mouth can you have a future."
"Eh? Ah."
The younger brother had no time to react before he saw that his elder brother had already left.
Xia Yi casually threw the USB flash drive in his hand into his safe.
Hopefully he'll never have to use this USB drive.
Thinking of this, he walked out of the office and shouted to the people below: "Mr. Qiao is in a good mood today and has given everyone compensation. 300 yuan per person, go to the finance department to collect it yourself."
The sudden distribution of money made everyone below very happy.
They discussed: "Last time Mr. Qiao came, he gave money. I didn't expect that he would give money again this time."
Xia Yi looked at them and curled the corners of his mouth.
This is the effect he wants.
＊
And on the other side is the teahouse.
Qiao also looked at the woman in front of him and nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."
"No matter what you do now, you will only cause trouble for yourself." The woman looked at her and said lightly.
"So am I just going to sit there and wait for death?" Joe asked her in return.
"For you, this may really be the only way." The woman shook her head with a hint of regret.
“…” Qiao didn’t say anything, but turned to look out the window.
It was already snowing outside.
The snowflakes fell to the ground and melted immediately.
"Legally speaking, the presumption of innocence is presumed. As long as there is no definitive evidence to prove your guilt, then you are innocent."
After saying that, Sister Ling glanced at her and continued, "Similarly. As long as the other party hasn't put the actions in their mind into action, then they are also not guilty."
"If you want to get rid of someone, you need to wait for them to show their true colors."
"I understand." Joe nodded.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Sister Ling asked, "I heard that you've been interacting with Xiaoqing recently?"
"It's not like we've met before." Qiao also shook his head. "It was just some family matters that Xiaochen had, so we met once."
"Really? You changed your lipstick recently?" Sister Ling suddenly changed the subject.
"Huh? No." Qiao also subconsciously denied it.
She took out her cell phone, took a picture of herself, and found that there was indeed lipstick on her lips that did not belong to her.
She pulled out toilet paper as if nothing had happened and wiped her mouth carelessly. "Maybe I accidentally rubbed it somewhere just now."
Sister Ling did not expose her clumsy lie.
She just said pointedly: "It's better not to use other people's lipstick casually."
"...Yeah." Qiao also responded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Okay." Qiao Ye didn't try to keep her.
She was the only one left in the tea room.
After sitting here for a while, she stood up and walked to the bathroom to remove the makeup on her face.
She came out with no makeup on.
She rarely wears heavy makeup, but more often wears light makeup.
Although for her, there is no difference between light makeup and no makeup.
The woman wiped her lips expressionlessly with her hand, breaking the skin of her mouth. Bright red blood oozed out of the wound, making it look even more red.
She stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, then stretched out her tongue and licked her lips gently.
The taste buds were suddenly filled with the rich smell of blood.
In the silent bathroom, Qiao Ye's voice was heard muttering to himself, "Pei Qing, Pei Qing, I hope you won't let me down..."
