Chapter 45
After returning, Qiao didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened.
Apart from giving Pei Qing money to buy medicine, she did nothing else.
He even went out early and came back late every day, so Pei Qing only saw him a few times a day.
She wanted to express her gratitude to Qiao Ye, but because they seemed to be in different regions and there was a time difference, she never said it.
But she gradually got up with Qiao Ye every morning, and when Qiao Ye came out, she saw Pei Qing busy in the kitchen.
She was a little surprised and even glanced at the clock on the wall to confirm that it was five o'clock in the morning before asking, "Why are you up so early?"
"I've seen you've been very busy lately, sometimes even skipping breakfast, so I wanted to make some for you. It'll be quick."
Qiao subconsciously wanted to refuse. For her, a cup of coffee for breakfast is also breakfast.
But emotionally, I don't want to reject Pei Qing's kindness like this.
I was originally planning to go to the office to finish the recent contract signing with Alaska.
But now she feels that it’s okay to be a little later, this little time doesn’t make a difference.
At this moment, something was stuffed into the mailbox at the door.
She walked out the door and took today's newspaper out of the mailbox.
When I walked in, I saw Pei Qing bringing out a breakfast.
It's a cup of soy milk, a basket of dumplings, and a fried dough stick.
"Have you subscribed to the newspaper yet?" Pei Qing asked.
"Yeah. It's always been decided." Qiao also answered while eating the dumplings.
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and added, "If you want to read it, you can take it back. Every morning at 5:20, a newspaper deliveryman will put the newspaper in the mailbox."
"OK."
The two of them didn't speak again that morning.
At half past five, Joe also went out.
Pei Qing stood at the door and said to her, "Be careful on the road."
Joe also responded, "Yeah."
Looking at Pei Qing, she was wearing an apron and standing at the door, with some oil stains on her cuffs from cooking.
A word came to her mind: wife.
Realizing what she was thinking, Qiao shook her head with a smile. How could she have such an idea?
She knows herself so well that she even knows when she's about to "relapse."
But Pei Qing was indeed an "accident" that she had not expected.
From the first moment she saw the woman, she knew that they were similar in some way.
She deliberately connected her headphones to the wrong place so that she could hear the ambiguous voice.
She, Joe, didn't think it was a coincidence either.
Boring life goes on day after day, and she wants to find some fun in her life.
So I accompanied her to continue the play.
In fact, everything was as she thought, except for the sudden kiss that came later.
Of course, this accident did not change the outcome.
But now things seem to be heading in a different direction.
This is also why she has been using the Alaska contract recently to constantly squeeze her time and energy in an attempt not to think about this matter.
In fact, this approach is indeed very effective. Of course, it would have been even better if Pei Qing hadn't made breakfast this morning.
The car was parked in the company's underground garage.
Joe also took the elevator directly to the office.
She was surprised to see an old friend here - Xia Yi.
Only then did she remember that the deal she had made with Xia Yi was almost time to fulfill.
But she still asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Yi chuckled, not mentioning a word about their deal. He simply said, "I've recently settled some of my issues, and I was thinking of coming to Country M to rest for a while. Then, I happened to come to your place, thinking of meeting you. I didn't expect to arrive too early."
Qiao Ye knew Xia Yi very well. Eighty-five percent of what he said was true, and the remaining 15% was just to deceive people.
You said that what he said was wrong, and he did not lie, it was just that people had different understandings.
But this is the usual practice of businessmen.
She could also accurately extract the truth from his mouth.
So after Qiao sat down, he pulled out a stack of documents from the drawer and threw them in front of him. "I have a piece of land here recently, near the university, but there's a group of people there who are not easy to deal with. If you can get it, see if you can start some small business nearby."
What she said was to tell him the current situation, and it was up to Xia Yi to decide what to do.
If he can solve these problems, everyone will be happy, and Qiao will be happy to collect rent.
If he can't do it, it has nothing to do with her. After all, the land has been found, so who can she blame if she can't get it?
Seeing these materials, Xia Yi couldn't help but grin, his surprise was beyond words, and he quickly said: "Hehehe. Mr. Qiao, don't worry about me, I will definitely solve these problems."
"Um."
"Mr. Qiao, do you want breakfast? Why don't we go downstairs and have breakfast together? When I came here just now, I happened to see a breakfast shop run by Chinese people downstairs."
Qiao also shook his head, "No, I came here after breakfast."
Hearing her words, Xia Yi looked as if he had seen a ghost, "Mr. Qiao, are you still having breakfast?!"
His expression made Qiao feel a little funny. "What do you think of me? Can't I have breakfast?"
"Nothing, nothing, I just haven't seen you eat breakfast very often. When I was back in Jiangcheng, I rarely saw you eat breakfast either."
"It's okay to eat occasionally." Qiao Ye said nonchalantly, then changed the subject and asked about another matter: "How are Xiaochen's family affairs going now?"
Knowing that she would definitely ask, Xia Yi had recently come to Country M while the Kang family's affairs were temporarily interrupted.
So he quickly replied: "At present, Miss Xue has confirmed that Kang Lening is indeed the illegitimate child of the Second Kang, and has also determined with Young Master Kang the subsequent division of the profits. As for why this illegitimate child was born in the first place..."
At this point, he hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
After all, he only heard Uncle Li, who was beside Xue Xiaochen, mention it, and the other party also spoke very vaguely. Whether it was what he thought was still a matter of discussion.
So he wasn't sure whether to tell it or not.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Qiao said calmly: "Tell me everything you know. Even if it's something intangible."
"Yeah, yeah. Okay." Xia Yi nodded hurriedly, not forgetting to stack armor on himself: "Everything I say below is all my own speculation. As for whether it is correct, Mr. Qiao, you can verify it yourself when the time comes."
Seeing his desperate look, Qiao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay. Tell me what you want. Whether you're right or not, I won't pursue the matter."
"Oh, oh, oh, then I'm relieved." Xia Yi smiled, then became serious, "It is said that the reason Young Master Kang was able to leave the Kang family hospital in Beijing safely was because someone secretly helped him."
Qiao Ye paused for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"
She didn't think anyone could send a child away under the Kang family's noses.
Hearing the question, Xia Yi raised his head and glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head, "My current guess is... your father, Qiao Yang."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire office froze.
Only the breathing sounds of the two people remained.
Xia Yi couldn't help swallowing.
He actually didn't want to say that, but from the fragmentary clues he got, it was more likely to be Qiao Yang.
Just as he was complaining in his heart, Qiao Ye spoke up, her tone calm, as if what he had just said had not caused her any impact: "Does Xiaochen know about this?"
"There is no definite evidence yet, so..."
No wonder, that makes sense. If it had been decided, Xue Xiaochen would have told her the first time and then waited for her attitude.
She didn't say anything, which means it's not yet time to make a final decision.
"I see." Qiao nodded. "Ask your people back home to help me."
"What...what help..." Xia Yi's right eyelid twitched violently, and his intuition told him that it must be something bad.
Sure enough, the next second, Qiao Ye said, "Help me investigate who Qiao Yang came into contact with after he left Jiangcheng for Beijing. And..."
She paused here, her tone darkening as she said, "Does he have any...relatives in Country M?"
Who is Xia Yi?
Although his family background was not even one-tenth of Qiao Ye's, he had been with her for so long that he could still hear the deeper meaning in her words.
For example: The relatives here are definitely not ordinary relatives.
An ominous premonition emerged in his mind. Even someone like her who had seen many storms and waves could not help but gasp in surprise: "Could it be..."
"That's what you think." Joe also confirmed his idea.
"But doesn't he have a very good relationship with your mother... and people even describe them as..." a loving couple.
Before he could finish his words, he heard Qiao sneer, "What do you mean by a loving couple? You can fool others, but don't fool yourself."
This is undoubtedly a denial of external evaluation.
Hearing her words, Xia Yi looked at her nose and thought about it, as if he didn't understand what she said at all.
"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Thank you for your help." Joe nodded. "It's getting late. If you want to go eat, go ahead. I have some things to take care of here."
"Hey, hey. I'll be leaving first then."
She was the only one left in the office.
Qiao is not in the mood to read these things now.
She rubbed her brows tiredly.
Originally, she didn't want to get involved in Qiao Yang's affairs, but she knew Xue Xiaochen's character and had already found out about it.
Either take this matter to the grave or there is a reasonable explanation.
She didn't have a good impression of Qiao Yang, so this matter happened to be resolved at the same time.
