Chapter 405 Passing by, she didn't even recognize her
Qiao Xing noticed it wasn't time for her holiday yet, so why was she calling at this hour?
Qiao Xing answered the phone, and her aunt's voice immediately came through, "Xingxing, are you at work?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Oh dear, where did your dad go? What's wrong with him? He just showed up without saying a word. I'm at work right now, so I can't go back."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing instinctively stood up. "What was he doing at your place?"
"How would I know? He just called me and said he'd be home soon. Seriously, how come everyone can find me here!"
My aunt complained on the phone that if she didn't have to go to work, she would have gone back to see what kind of trouble Qiao Hong was up to.
However, she has to go to work now, so she can only ask Qiao Xing to go and check on things. After all, Wang Qin is the only one at home. If the two of them start fighting, wouldn't her belongings be destroyed?
Qiao Hong doesn't actually hit people, but Lin Qiang had left her with a psychological trauma, making her always feel that men who suddenly show up at her door are up to no good.
Qiao Xing said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
"That's great. When you get there, try to keep an eye on them and prevent them from fighting."
"knew."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, changed her clothes and went out. This man hadn't contacted her for so many years, his sudden visit was definitely not a good thing.
Although he went to find his aunt, Qiao Xing knew that he was actually after her; he only went to his aunt because he couldn't find her.
If that's the case, then she'll have to find out what this person is up to, since she'll have to face him sooner or later anyway.
Qiao Xing went out and took a taxi straight to Shengli Residential Area.
After she went upstairs, she suddenly stopped and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door with large and small bags in his hands, knocking on the door.
Qiao Xing stood there calmly, observing for a moment.
A short while later, the door to the room opened, and it was Wang Qin.
Wang Qin was also surprised to see him, but He Fen had called her earlier, so she was somewhat prepared.
She had initially thought He Fen was joking with her, because she felt it was impossible for Qiao Hong to be here. However, when she finally saw him, Wang Qin was still quite shocked.
She wasn't wearing a mask, and the burns on her face were clearly visible. Qiao Hong noticed her immediately and almost didn't recognize her.
Fortunately, Qiao Hong had good composure. He steadied himself and gave a friendly smile, "Are you Wang Qin?"
Wang Qin looked at him with a complicated expression. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Why are you here? You've come to the wrong place."
Qiao Hong quickly showed her what he was holding, "No, no, I just came to see you, and I brought you some things."
These words were a way of asking Wang Qin to invite him inside.
Wang Qin did not answer. After her initial shock, she quickly calmed down and looked at Qiao Hong with hostility.
If it weren't for his distrust back then, the two wouldn't have divorced, and she wouldn't be living the life she has now. It could be said that the resentment she had never shown before, seeing Qiao Hong's irritating smile, was now growing stronger in her heart.
"No need, just say what you need at the door. This is my sister-in-law's house."
Qiao Hong was taken aback, and his smile faltered, but he still forced a smile and said, "After all these years, you're still the same. I just came to see you, I'm not taking anything from you, so why are you so hostile towards me?"
"You haven't let go after all these years, have you?" Qiao Hong's words immediately angered Wang Qin.
"Then what are you doing standing here now? Don't tell me you've let go, but your conscience has bothered you and you want to make amends to us? Does your wife know you're here?"
Qiao Hong's face stiffened, and Yue also showed some anger, but he hid it well. "Then what am I doing here? We're both getting old, let bygones be bygones. Do you really intend to never see me again?"
"Even though we've been divorced for so many years, we still have a daughter. She carries our blood, and we can't sever our ties."
Wang Qin laughed angrily, "Daughter? You actually remember you have a daughter? Who was it that called her a bastard? Who suspected she was born from me and some other man? Who are you trying to disgust by saying these things now?"
"Oh, we were young and impetuous back then, we weren't mature enough, it's all in the past, why do you keep bringing it up?"
"It's all in the past for you now, because you have children and a happy family. You don't need to think about the past at all. Of course it's in the past. You're young and impetuous now, so you've let bygones be bygones. So many years have passed, but you haven't changed. You're still as disgusting and selfish as ever."
People only forget their past misery when they are happy.
Wang Qin has been living in pain all these years, while Qiao Hong is living a happy life. How could he possibly think about how Wang Qin has been doing all these years when he is so happy?
His sudden visit now is probably not just a casual visit as he claims; he must have ulterior motives.
"Xiaoqin, why do you still say such hurtful things? It was because of your strong-willed nature that you would argue with me every time I spoke. Don't you realize your own problem?"
Wang Qin took a deep breath and stopped arguing with him. "You're right, it's all my fault, okay? It's all my fault, so why are you here? Just leave, I don't want to see you!"
After she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut, leaving Qiao Hong outside.
Qiao Hong stood blankly at the door, holding the gifts in his hands like a fool, his anger spreading in his heart, yet he had nowhere to vent it.
He remained silent for a while before saying to the door, "Xiaoqin, I know you're still angry, but I really just wanted to come see you. I didn't mean anything else. The gift is here. Since you don't want to see me, I'll leave now."
Qiao Hong put his things down on the ground, scratched his balding head in frustration, and turned to walk downstairs.
When he passed by Qiao Xing, he didn't recognize him, but he felt that Qiao Xing looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and then walked straight past Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing watched him disappear at the top of the stairs, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
He didn't even recognize her as he passed by, which shows he's never paid any attention to her. Now he's pretending to visit her, it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.
He was driving a Buick worth over 200,000 yuan. Qiao Xing watched his car slowly disappear into the residential area before walking towards the gate.
She knocked on the door, but Wang Qin inside did not respond.
Qiao Xing knocked twice more, and the door suddenly opened. "Wasn't I clear enough? You..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when she saw it was Qiao Xing. She immediately swallowed the rest of her words, and the anger on her face turned into surprise and guilt.
"How come it's you?" Wang Qin's voice also weakened, turning into that timid woman, as if she wasn't the woman who had just argued with Qiao Hong.
