Chapter 427 is here again.
Why are you angry again?
Qiao Xing turned around and glared at him, trying to shake off his hand, but he was holding on too tightly and she couldn't get rid of it.
"I'm not angry, let go!"
She said she wasn't angry, but her tone didn't sound like it. Qin Ce stared at her intently and didn't let go.
The main problem is that I couldn't think of anything to say for the time being.
The two were silent for a while, and Qiao Xing sighed, "I won't hold it against you since you're leaving."
"real?"
"Really, let go right now."
Qin Ce let her go, and Qiao Xing didn't want to clean up for him anymore, so she turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Qin Ce glanced back at the suitcase in the study, then went back and casually packed a couple of clothes for himself.
When he finished tidying up and went to the bedroom, he found it locked from the inside.
He twisted the door to make sure it was locked from the inside, not broken, and his face fell.
He was unhappy too.
Despite his displeasure, he didn't pick the lock and went back to his study.
Qiao Xing couldn't sleep all night, not knowing if it was because she was angry or because he was going to the capital. She tossed and turned until dawn, then sighed and sat up in bed.
When Qiao Xing opened the door, Qin Ce was preparing breakfast as usual. Watching him busy in the dining room, Qiao Xing fell silent for a moment.
I felt a little guilty about locking the door from the inside last night.
"You're up? Come and eat." Qin Ce called to her, placing his chopsticks on her bowl.
Qiao Xing went to the restroom to wash up, then quietly went over and sat down to eat her breakfast without saying a word.
Qin Ce asked her, "Are you still angry?"
Qiao Xing pursed her lips, lowered her head and shoveled at the porridge in her bowl, and whispered, "I already said I'm not angry."
"You locked the door last night and you weren't angry yet, unless you don't lock the door tonight."
"..."
Qiao Xing looked up at him. Although he was expressionless, he gave Qiao Xing an inexplicable feeling of childishness.
Where did you sleep last night?
"I'm not asleep."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "With so many rooms, why aren't you sleeping?"
Qin Ce said seriously, "I can't get used to sleeping like this."
"Didn't you used to sleep on the sofa? How come you can't sleep on it anymore so quickly?" Qiao Xing remembered that the sofa in the bedroom was still there, so she was skeptical of his words.
Qin Ce placed the egg in her bowl, subtly ending the conversation, "Eat your food."
Qiao Xing was somewhat speechless.
She picked up the egg and took a big bite.
Since Qin Ce is leaving tomorrow, he didn't go anywhere today and stayed at home. Qiao Xing also didn't go out; it's the weekend, so they don't have to go to the company.
The two went for a walk. It was springtime, and the flowers along the roadside were in bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.
But they hadn't gone far when they ran into Qiao Hong again, much to their disappointment. He was on his way to the residential area, but when he saw the two of them on the roadside, he turned around and drove straight towards them.
He parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and walked quickly toward the two people.
"Star."
Qiao Xing frowned when she saw him. "Why are you here again?"
"I've come to see you. I'm still your father, so don't be so hostile towards me."
Qiao Xing admired his thick skin; after losing face so many times before, he still had the nerve to come looking for him.
"Can you please stop using that word? Every time you say it, I feel like you're insulting it. Do you even deserve to be called a father?"
Qiao Hong felt his face burning up at her words; if he hadn't had no other choice, he wouldn't have shamelessly come to her.
There was really no other way. Cao Yun had been suspended from her job and was in a bad mood. These past few days, the two of them would start arguing every time they got home.
In the simplest case, if he said the food was too salty, Cao Yun would slam his chopsticks down, and then they would start arguing.
He wasn't having a good time at the company either. Because his boss was always finding fault with him, he was busy all day long. Sometimes he even had to lead the whole team to work overtime, which made his subordinates complain. He was caught in the middle and had to put up with Cao Yun's temper when he got home late.
If it weren't for the glimmer of hope he could find with Qin Ce, he might have jumped off the building.
Now, after being mistreated at work and at home, he comes to Qiao Xing only to be scolded again.
"Xingxing, I know you hate me. How about this, let's talk about this later. Can I have a private chat with President Qin?"
Qiao Xing glanced at the man beside her, then looked warily at Qiao Hong. "What are you two talking about? You two don't seem to know each other before, do you?"
He had been busy helping Wang Qin with her before, and she was worried that Qin Ce would do the same thing again this time.
Even if Wang Qin was down on her luck, she still sent her things, but what did Qiao Hong give her?
He only gave her the cold shoulder and indifference, and even when she came to his door, he chose to ignore her.
Whenever she thought of how Qiao Hong doted on his youngest daughter in front of her, Qiao Xing felt that this man did not deserve to be her father.
Qiao Hong exclaimed, "We men talk about things, you're a girl, you wouldn't understand, go play somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing's anger flared up instantly, and he even laughed in exasperation.
At this moment, Qin Ce spoke up, "Just say what you have to say. Qiao Xing isn't an outsider, there's nothing he can't hear."
Qiao Hong looked a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and glanced at Qiao Xing, who showed no intention of leaving.
It's obvious what he wanted from Qin Ce; even a fool could guess. Qiao Xing would never let Qiao Hong take advantage of him.
Qiao Hong sighed, there was nothing he could do. He chuckled dryly twice and took out his phone from his pocket, "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to..."
Both of them stared intently at him, and even with his thick skin, Qiao Hong found it hard to say anything.
He hesitated for a long time before finally swallowing his pride and saying to Qin Ce, "Just do me a small favor. I'll make a call to our leader, and you can chat with him for a bit."
This was indeed a small favor for Qin Ce, but it could directly determine his position in the company.
Although the two companies have no cooperative relationship, given Qin Ce's status, the company leaders would not refuse to give him face. What loss could the company lose by keeping him as an employee?
Qin Ce said, "I don't have much of a relationship with your leader, so I probably can't help you with this."
"No need for any special relationship, just a casual chat is fine."
He had previously told people that his son-in-law was the owner of S&C, and that his boss told him to go to the hospital to get a checkup when he had time, implying that he had delusions.
Now all you need is a phone call to prove it, and everything else will be much easier.
"It's nothing serious," Qin Ce said casually. Qiao Hong's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and hope was rekindled in his heart.
Qiao Xing tugged at Qin Ce's sleeve, about to speak, but Qin Ce changed the subject, saying, "But why should I help you?"
He was relatively polite when he spoke earlier, but his last sentence showed no mercy and was like a slap in the face to Qiao Hong.
Qiao Hong's smile froze, as if he had been hit with a stick. He couldn't smile but had to maintain the smile, resulting in an unusually interesting expression.
