Chapter 414 I'll help you deal with him
Qiao Hong's face turned pale. He hadn't taken Wang Qin and the others' dislike to heart, but Qin Ce's words made his situation plummet.
He came specifically for Qin Ce, and Qin Ce's lack of respect clearly meant he would have to put in more effort than he had imagined.
Seeing his pale face, He Fen's gloating became even more obvious.
She got her revenge for how the Qiao family treated her when she first went there.
The uglier Qiao Hong's face became, the happier He Fen laughed. She even said insincerely, "Brother Qiao, that's just Xiao Ce's personality. He's cold to everyone. You'll get used to it."
Qin Ce glanced at He Fen, then pulled Qiao Xing and said, "Let's go."
Qiao Xing didn't want to get entangled with Qiao Hong, so he left the cemetery with Qiao Xing.
He Fen and the others were about to leave when Qiao Hong grabbed them, asking, "In-laws, how did they meet? Are they really married?"
"Of course they got married. Xiao Ce is so busy, but he still managed to accompany Xingxing to sweep the grave. He must really like her very much. Your Qiao family is truly blessed."
He Fen knew that Qin Ce disliked Qiao Hong, so she kept stabbing him in the heart.
The better Qin Ce treated Qiao Xing, the more Qiao Hong regretted it; just looking at his expression was quite a sight.
Of everyone, Wang Ye was the most bewildered, because he only now realized Qin Ce's identity—this guy was actually the boss of S&C.
Qiao Hong was indeed filled with regret. He was kicking himself. If he had paid more attention to Qiao Xing over the years, he wouldn't be being treated like this now.
Now that things have come to this, it seems there's no use in regretting it.
He Fen said, "Oh, Brother Qiao, you see, when I brought Xingxing to wish you a Happy New Year, your brother didn't like you at all. Now that people don't like you, don't blame anyone but yourself."
Qiao Hong sighed and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
He grabbed He Fen's hand, his face earnest, "In-law, Xingxing has grown up so much, and we've worked so hard to take care of her. You two are such good friends, could you please put in a good word for me?"
He Fen shook off his hand, "That's right. After you left, Xingxing grew up in our family, so we're naturally the closest."
She didn't mention speaking up for him at all; she just kept bragging and praising herself.
She couldn't stop talking about working at Qin Ce's company; her pride was so high that you'd think she was a manager at S&C.
Qiao Xing sat in the car, looking in the rearview mirror at the group of people still chatting and laughing. She sighed in annoyance.
Qin Ce, on the contrary, remained calm and drove her back.
Qiao Xing said, "So he already knew about you. No wonder he suddenly came to my door."
"Let him look for it if he wants to, just ignore it."
"But it's annoying to look at."
Qiao Xing had never been so annoyed by anyone. Even though Qiao Hong was her father, she had absolutely no feelings for him.
The only remaining kinship between them had long been worn away during her childhood visits to his home, and now Qiao Hong was a complete stranger to her.
"Then I'll help you deal with him."
Qin Ce's sudden remark startled Qiao Xing, causing her to choke on her own saliva and cough repeatedly.
Qin Ce calmly handed her a piece of paper.
Qiao Xing patted her chest, coughing for a while before she could catch her breath. She turned to Qin Ce and said, "Don't do anything reckless."
"oh."
Qiao Xing sighed heavily and said with a complicated expression, "Don't do anything illegal for someone like him. Just ignore him from now on. The more he contacts us, the more embarrassed we'll be. It's not us who will be embarrassed."
Qin Ce nodded seriously, "Hmm, that makes sense."
Qiao Xing was still a little worried, "I'm worried that he'll go to your company to find you, and that might cause you trouble."
"No, he can't get in."
"What if he waits for you at the company entrance?"
Qin Ce found it somewhat amusing, "Then let him block me, let's see how many times he can catch me."
Many employees in the company have never even seen him. It would be a miracle if someone as insignificant as Qiao Hong could actually catch up with him.
His tone sounded somewhat amused, and Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously. Did he find this interesting?
By the time I got home, it was already dark.
Qiao Xing carried the groceries she bought on the way to the kitchen to cook. Qin Ce didn't try to take them from her today and went to the study by himself.
He went to the study not for anything else, but to collect emails.
All of Qiao Hong's information had been sent to his email. He opened it and quickly browsed through it, and he could roughly guess why Qiao Hong had shamelessly come to make a fool of himself.
If Qiao Hong were in a better position now, he wouldn't be so eager to come to her after being humiliated so many times.
All things considered, this person poses no threat, except for being annoying.
Qin Ce made a phone call, his eyes fixed on the information on the computer screen, "Send me his wife's detailed information."
Since they have such a good relationship, they should share hardships together. How can only one of them face the unemployment crisis?
His wife works in the public sector, so she's not unemployed, but these things... who can say for sure?
Qiao Hong had no idea what he was about to face. He had spent the whole day running around in vain. When he finally got home and turned on the lights, the house was pitch black.
He had just sat down when the door opened again, and his wife returned with their children.
"I'm so tired." Qiao Yue walked in listlessly, and when she looked up and saw Qiao Hong, she exclaimed happily, "Dad, where did you go today?"
Qiao Hong glanced at his wife, Cao Yun, whose face was stern and she looked unhappy.
She ignored Qiao Hong after entering the room and went to the kitchen with the groceries.
The son, carrying his backpack, went to his room and locked the door.
Qiao Hong pulled his daughter Qiao Yue aside and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, what's wrong with your mother?"
"What else could have happened? You promised us you'd go to sweep the graves together, but you disappeared first thing this morning. Mom took us to so many places, do you think she'd be happy? Hurry up and apologize and explain!"
Qiao Hong touched the sparse hair on his head. "I had something to do, didn't I? It's alright, go back to your room and play."
He got up and went to the kitchen, where Cao Yun was washing vegetables. He walked over awkwardly, and just as he picked up a lettuce, Cao Yun snatched it away.
Qiao Hong carefully observed her expression and called out ingratiatingly, "Wife."
Cao Yun didn't even look at him.
Qiao Hong called out again, "I'm sorry, I really forgot today. Please forgive me this time."
Cao Yun suddenly threw the vegetables in his hand into the basin, and the splashing water hit Qiao Hong's face, startling him.
"Qiao Hong, tell me, today is Qingming Festival, a national holiday, what important business do you have that requires you to rush out so early in the morning? Are you going abroad to discuss business? Is there a deal worth hundreds of millions to discuss?"
Qiao Hong waved his hand repeatedly, "Keep your voice down, they finally got a holiday and came back for a visit."
