Chapter 168 I Might Really Be Wrong
After cleaning the floor, Joey stood up and said, "You guys eat. I suddenly remembered that I think I ate dinner tonight. I'm going to bed now."
Qiao Xing wanted to say something, but she had already stood up and left.
Xue Ling ate a couple of bites and then ran back to playing games.
Only she and Qin Ce remained at the table. Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"It's alright, eat your food."
Qiao Xing said "Oh" and buried her head in her food.
She tossed and turned in bed that night, unable to sleep, her mind filled with the events of the day; the seed of doubt had not disappeared.
She dared not think about it too deeply, fearing that the more she thought about it, the more the seed would take root and sprout, and if it turned out to be just her overthinking, it would have immeasurable consequences.
She grabbed the blanket and covered her head, forcing herself to sleep.
Qin Ce knocked on Joey's door.
Joey opened the door and let him in.
"What are you doing here?" Joey rolled her eyes at him; it was clear she was in a bad mood.
"I'm sorry," Qin Ce apologized to her.
Joey waved her hand dismissively, "Never mind, I'm leaving in a few days anyway, no need to talk about this."
Qin Ce was silent for a while, then said, "I might really be wrong."
Joey glanced up at him, then suddenly laughed. She walked up to Qin Ce and straightened his collar.
“Honey, I’ve said it before: people have to pay the price for their choices. So instead of thinking about how to regret it, think about how to minimize the damage.”
Qin Ce frowned and gave Joey a deep look.
"Alright, it's nothing. You can go back now and get some rest."
Qin Ce twitched the corners of his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He left Qiao Yi's bedroom and went to Qiao Xing's bedroom.
He pushed open the door and, by the light from outside, saw Qiao Xing curled up in a ball on the bed, burying herself under the covers.
He stood at the door for a while, then quietly slipped out.
——
After thinking it over all night, Qiao Xing decided to trust Qin Ce.
After making this decision, she felt much more relaxed and continued to interact with Qin Ce as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Ye's wedding was on Saturday, and Qiao Xing had nothing to do these past few days, so she went through the entire wedding planning proposal that Xiao Hu had given her.
Xiao Hu was also very kind-hearted. Afraid that she would be bored, he gave her one book after another after she finished reading it. Qiao Xing had the illusion of going back to her school days, when she was reading project proposals and taking notes every day.
I did learn quite a bit.
However, there have been some changes in S&C's senior management in the past few days. They now have to ride electric bikes to and from get off work, although the boss has not forced them to do so.
But since President Han has taken the lead, how dare they not ride?
The vice president rides an electric scooter, and you're driving around trying to show off in front of him? Don't you want to work here anymore?
But after riding it for a while, I found that this electric bike is really great, and I no longer get stuck in traffic on my way to work.
Especially after putting aside my pride, riding an electric bike to work is truly joyful.
Qin Ce led Qiao Xing to the parking lot. Before they even went inside, they could hear people exchanging pleasantries.
"Wow, Mr. Zhang, your electric scooter is pretty good. Has it been modified?"
"Mr. Li, you have a good eye! You noticed that. Let me tell you, my car can reach speeds of 100 km/h, which is much faster than driving a car."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang still has a youthful mindset. But we still need to be careful. We're all getting on in years, so let's not try to race like those young people."
"That's right, that's right. I just didn't expect that you, Mr. Li, have such a girlish heart. You changed to a pink car today?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. My daughter loves pink. When I went to buy it, she insisted on having this one. What could I do but buy it?"
As Qiao Xing listened to these CEOs showering each other with compliments, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She sat behind Qin Ce and whispered, "Your company has a really great atmosphere."
Qin Ce ignored her words and instead said, "Get out of the car. You go first, I'll go park the car."
"Okay." Qiao Xing took off his helmet and went to the elevator.
The two general managers who were chatting earlier naturally noticed Qiao Xing and Qin Ce. While pretending to chat, the two were frantically glancing at Qiao Xing out of the corner of their eyes.
They had never seen her before, but now they finally got a good look at the president's wife.
She dressed very casually, in jeans and a sweater. She was pretty, but at most she'd catch someone's eye on the street; there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.
Qiao Xing was unaware that they were watching her. She went straight into the elevator and waited a while when she saw that the two people behind her hadn't come up yet.
However, the two were engrossed in their conversation and showed no intention of coming up, so she had no choice but to close the elevator door.
But she didn't know that the two CEOs were only chatting because they were too afraid to ride the elevator with the president's wife...
Today is Friday, and Qiao Xing and Qin Ce have made plans to go to the hotel where Wang Ye is getting married after get off work.
The wedding tomorrow will probably keep me busy all day, although Qiao Xing doesn't know what she'll be busy with, since she's never had a wedding before.
Because they had arranged to meet, the two met in the parking lot as soon as they got off work.
The two arrived at the hotel together. There weren't many people at the hotel yet, just the aunt's family and her relatives.
Lily's family, Lily's brother, and Hu Jun also came. Wang Ye was talking to them.
Upon seeing Qiao Xing, his eyes lit up, and he immediately waved to her, "Cousin, over here!"
Qiao Xing nodded and walked towards Wang Ye.
“Cousin, this is Lily’s brother, this is her sister-in-law, and this is her nephew.”
Wang Ye gave a haphazard introduction, and Qiao Xing nodded to Hu Jun, "Hello."
Hu Jun is in his thirties and looks a bit like Lily, but he is very thin and not very tall. Even with shoes on, he is only about 1.7 meters tall, and his hairline is a bit receding.
His wife, wearing high heels, was almost as tall as him.
Their son is eleven or twelve years old, and he's almost as tall as Hu Jun.
Hu Jun smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello, that's great! Lily is doing really well now, she seems to be doing much better than us."
Lily stood to the side without saying a word, her face still showing some resistance.
Hu Jun's wife is a primary school teacher, so she can immediately tell that what Lili and Qiao Xing are wearing are brand-name items.
She had already told Hu Jun about it before, so Hu Jun was being particularly kind at this moment, smiling at Zhou Lan.
Lily is wearing genuine designer clothes this time, since they were a gift from Joey.
After greeting her own people, Auntie took the opportunity to come over and greet Hu Jun.
"This young man is really handsome. No wonder they are siblings, they look so alike."
Hu Jun was stunned for a moment, not knowing who she was.
Wang Ye introduced her as, "She is my mother."
"Oh, dear mother-in-law, you look so young! If my brother-in-law hadn't told me, I would have thought you were his older sister."
His aunt laughed heartily, amused by his antics. "You silly boy, stop teasing me."
At this point, her aunt changed the subject, "Oh dear, it's been so long, we've finally met all of Lily's family."
"Jun Jun, are you here to take your mother-in-law back home?"
