Chapter 387 Don't you even recognize your own daughter?
"Ouch!" Qin Yi cried out in pain as his arm was twisted behind his back.
"Go back, young master."
Qin Yi sighed, knowing he couldn't escape now. "Let me go first."
The man wasn't worried that he would run away, so he let him go.
Qin Yi rubbed his arm and turned to ask him, "Did you just find this place, or have you been following me?"
The man paused for a moment without speaking, clearly having been following him the whole time.
Previously, with Qin Ce by their side, they didn't dare to act rashly, but now that Qin Ce has personally spoken, there's nothing to worry about.
Qin Yi frowned upon seeing their reaction, sensing that something was amiss.
"Young master, let's go. The car is waiting for you downstairs."
As he spoke, the man offered to help Qin Yi carry his luggage, and without waiting for Qin Yi's consent, he went to open the elevator.
Qin Yi looked left and right, and there were two other people eyeing him covetously, ready to deal with him if he ran away.
He understood his father's personality; before he left, his father must have instructed him that if his father dared to resist, he could use any means necessary, as long as he didn't kill anyone.
This isn't the first time.
Therefore, Qin Yi learned his lesson this time and did not resist them, but obediently followed them away.
When he arrived at the parking lot downstairs, he looked back again. The parking lot was empty, so it seemed that Qin Ce would not be coming to rescue him.
Finally, he resigned himself to his fate and got into the car.
He opened his phone, tapped on WeChat, and sent a message to Qiao Xing: Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll be waiting for you in Kyoto.
When Qiao Xing saw the message, his hand paused, and he almost choked on the food in his mouth.
What do you mean by "waiting for you in Kyoto"?
"What's wrong?" Qin Ce put a piece of fish into her bowl.
Qiao Xing said, "Qin Yi said he's left and is still waiting for us in Kyoto. You're not going back too, are you?"
Qin Ce paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke, "We'll see."
Qiao Xing looked at him, feeling a vague sense of resistance. Although she had accepted Qin Ce's identity, the thought of going to Kyoto, a place so unfamiliar, made her extremely unwilling to go.
Qin Ce seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Let's eat first, don't think too much."
Qiao Xing nodded, still feeling somewhat uneasy, and the meal didn't taste very good.
After eating a few bites, the two returned to the hotel.
Because she had something on her mind, Qiao Xing lost interest in continuing to play. Afterwards, Qin Ce took her to several other places and realized that she wasn't really interested in the place, so he decided to return to Yucheng as soon as possible.
The journey took several days, and it was five days before I finally got back to Chongqing.
Qiao Xing opened the door to her home, and it was exactly as she had left it; nothing had been changed.
She walked to the sofa, slumped down heavily, and let out a long sigh. "Finally back. I'm exhausted."
"Then you rest for a bit, I'm going to the company." Qin Ce put his luggage in the room, said this, and then went out.
Qiao Xing glanced at the time; it was three o'clock in the afternoon. After thinking about it, she gave up on the idea of going to the company and decided to take a nap first.
She curled up on the sofa and drifted off to sleep, but a cell phone ringing startled her awake.
Qiao Xing picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Ying calling.
She frowned and answered the phone.
“Hey sister-in-law… oh no, I can’t call you sister-in-law anymore…” Qiao Ying said, her tone becoming somewhat downcast.
Qiao Xing asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Nothing much, I just saw you went back to Chongqing, so I called to ask if Qin Yi was with you."
"No, he's no longer in Chongqing."
"I see." Qiao Ying didn't know if she was telling the truth or not, but just from the fact that Qiao Xing deliberately concealed her identity, Qiao Ying knew that she definitely didn't want to be associated with her.
Or rather, they didn't want her to get involved with Qin Yi.
The reason is simple: if it were Qiao Ying, she would do the same. Now that she has married into a wealthy family, she would never allow her other sisters to do the same.
Therefore, Qiao Ying even felt that Qiao Xing had played a part in Qin Yi's breakup with her, so it was reasonable for her to say that Qin Yi was not with her now.
"Is there anything else?"
Qiao Ying hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm also planning to come back. I'll come find you to play when I get back."
"Okay, let's talk about it when you get back. I'll make an appointment with you if I have time."
The last sentence was an excuse; when she contacted him, he would just say he was too busy. Qiao Xing really didn't want to have any more contact with Qiao Hong's people.
Qiao Ying seemed not to have noticed, and she smiled and said, "Okay, my flight is tonight, I'll be home tomorrow."
She's not in Haishi now; she went to Ancheng, resigned from her job, and came back.
Anyway, she doesn't lack the money from her job. Winning back Qin Yi is the important thing now, so whether she goes to work or not doesn't matter.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qiao Xing hung up the phone.
She frowned as she thought of Qin Yi; it seemed that Qiao Ying was still unwilling to give up on him easily.
Qiao Xing irritably tossed her phone onto the sofa and scratched her hair.
After several days of careful consideration, Qiao Jie finally dialed Qiao Hong's number.
"Second brother, what made you think of calling me?"
Qiao Hong had just finished a meeting and was in a bad mood. The company was doing poorly this year and was going to lay off employees. Old hands like him who stuck to the old ways and were content with the status quo were the primary targets.
He worked in the department for over ten years as a team leader, but his career remained stagnant, while those who joined the company later than him became managers.
Anyway, judging from what the manager said earlier, he's definitely on the layoff list.
"Fourth brother, I'm calling to congratulate you. You rascal, you kept your daughter's success a secret from us, afraid we'd try to use her connections?"
Qiao Hong was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat displeased. "Second brother, what do you mean by this? Yueyue is still in school. What future does she have? I think you're just too idle at work and called to make fun of me."
"Don't get so agitated. I'm not talking about Yueyue, I'm talking about your other daughter. You haven't forgotten you have a daughter, have you?"
Qiao Hong was stunned again. "Which daughter?"
Having not been in contact for so long, it took Qiao Hong a while to remember who his other daughter was.
"You mean Qiao Xing?"
"Yes, Fourth Brother, you don't even recognize your own daughter?"
Hearing the other person's anxious tone, Qiao Hong had a bad feeling. "What's wrong with her?"
"She married a rich husband, not just rich, but from a wealthy family. I came here specifically to congratulate my fourth brother, but it seems like he doesn't know?"
He doesn't know anything. He doesn't even have Qiao Xing's phone number. How would he know?
but……
"Second brother, you're not kidding me, what really happened?"
"I don't have time to joke with you like that. Of course it's true. I only know about this by chance. Yingying has a boyfriend who turns out to be the brother of Xingxing's husband. What kind of fate is that?"
