Chapter 457 Behind You
Wang Yu had previously said that instead of arguing with Qin Ce all day long without getting anywhere, it would be better to adopt a conciliatory approach and exploit his weaknesses.
Instead of threatening him with Qiao Xing, it would be better to subdue Qiao Xing, which would be equivalent to directly subduing Qin Ce.
Only then did Qin Liang agree to call Qiao Xing. As a result, Qiao Xing's attitude was not exactly the same as Qin Ce's, but it was pretty much the same.
This not only made Qin Liang lose face, but also made him furious. However, it cannot be denied that Wang Yu's idea was good; it's just that he lacked the patience.
In addition, given his own arrogance, forcing himself to bow down to a junior would be worse than killing him.
Wang Yu laughed and said, "You and Xiao Ce are actually quite similar in personality. You're both so stubborn and proud."
Qin Liang snorted unhappily.
Wang Yu was behind him, her expression subtle, but he naturally couldn't see it.
Qin Liang talks tough to Qin Ce all day long, but he doesn't actually do anything. He just thinks those kids are useless and still holds a sliver of hope for Qin Ce.
Unfortunately, Qin Ce refused to acknowledge him or back down. The rift between them prevented Qin Liang from trusting Qin Ce, and the same was true for Qin Ce.
The conflict between the two stemmed from this. Qin Liang suddenly changed his mind and called Qiao Xing over, which no one would believe was well-intentioned.
In this way, whether Qiao Xing comes or not, Wang Yu has achieved his goal: to deepen the suspicion between father and son.
When it accumulates to a great extent, it will naturally erupt.
As Wang Yu thought about it, the smile on her lips became even gentler.
After tossing and turning in Chongqing all night, and thinking about it for most of the night, Qiao Xing decided to go after all.
Qin Yi had told her before that his grandfather was in poor health and had difficulty walking, and that he would probably have a hard time returning to Chongqing in the future.
If Qiao Xing wants to see him, he has to go to the capital.
Anyway, Grandpa Qin's birthday is the day after tomorrow. She can't stay for more than two days. She can just come back after his birthday.
After making the decision, Qiao Xing sent a message to Qin Ce, telling him that she would leave today.
Qin Ce called and asked first, "Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I've thought it through. It's only two days. We'll come back after we visit him."
"Okay, I'll buy you a ticket and I'll pick you up then."
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ce immediately bought her a ticket for the next available flight, which was around 3 p.m., so she could get ready and head to the airport soon.
Besides buying a ticket for Qiao Xing, he also bought one for Xing Jiu so that he could come with Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing tidied herself up and, seeing that it was still early, went to buy some things nearby. Although others might not like what she bought, she still felt bad going empty-handed.
After getting into the car to the airport, Qiao Xing felt like he had forgotten something.
She stared at the scenery outside, and as they approached the airport, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell Shen Boyan.
She handed her ID card and luggage to Xing Jiu to check in, and then she made a phone call to Shen Boyan.
"Hello?"
Qiao Xing said, "I'm going to the capital for a few days. Don't forget to eat. If you starve to death at home, I won't be able to explain it to Tao Yang and the others."
Upon hearing the words "capital city," Shen Boyan's eyes flickered.
"So suddenly? What are you doing in the capital?"
Qiao Xing made up a story on the spot, "Oh, I'm going to see my grandfather. He hasn't been feeling well lately."
"Aren't you a local? How come your grandfather is in Beijing?"
"He's not exactly my grandfather, he's my husband's grandfather, but he's still my grandfather."
"Is your husband from Beijing?"
Qiao Xing was stumped by his question. She didn't want to reveal Qin Ce's identity and wanted to interact with them like a normal person.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, Grandpa just went to the capital for medical treatment."
"Got it. How many days will you be gone?"
"Three or four days, I guess."
"good."
Qiao Xing then reminded him, "Remember to eat, and cook the zongzi in the refrigerator quickly, they only last for seven days, don't forget."
"Okay." Shen Boyan couldn't stand her nagging, so he hung up after saying a few words.
However, after hanging up the phone, he thought about it and got up to look at the refrigerator again.
She bought more than a dozen zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and there were seven left. He took them out, glanced at them, and then put them back.
"Why buy zongzi if there's nothing wrong with it?" He closed the refrigerator, took out a cigarette from his pocket, went to the window, opened it, and leaned against it to smoke.
The apartment was now truly quiet, with only him left. Tao Yang and Sun Miao had never felt this quiet before, whether they went out or returned home together.
He sighed, quietly finished his cigarette, and went back to work.
Qiao Xing was already on the plane. The buzzing of the plane made her want to sleep, but she was anxious and couldn't fall asleep.
Having not seen Qin Ce for several days, the thought of seeing him soon made her even more excited and unable to sleep.
The flight lasted a long two and a half hours, and as the plane landed, Qiao Xing's heart became even more tense.
Fortunately, Xing Jiu was there with her, so she wasn't completely at a loss.
She turned on her phone and immediately saw several missed calls, all from Qin Ce a few minutes earlier, when the plane had just landed.
Qiao Xing quickly called him back, and the call was still in progress.
Qiao Xing guessed that the call was to himself, so he hung up. After waiting for two minutes, his call came in.
"hello."
"Have we arrived?"
Qiao Xing followed behind Xing Jiu. He walked fast, and Qiao Xing had to jog to keep up. "Yes, we're here. We still need to get our luggage. Let's wait a little longer."
"Okay, I'm at Exit B. You can let Xing Jiu get her luggage herself. You can come out first."
"...I understand." He sounded even more eager than I was.
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, her heart pounding with excitement. She couldn't think about anything else for the moment, only the joy of meeting him soon.
She really ignored Xing Jiu and walked towards Exit B on her own.
There were so many people waiting at the exit, it was a sea of people, but she didn't see Qin Ce at first glance.
She walked a little further ahead, but still couldn't find him in the crowd, so she called Qin Ce again.
Where are you? I can't see you.
"Over here at the coffee shop."
Qiao Xing looked around; the coffee shop was right in front of her. "I'll be right here."
"I see him, he's behind you."
Qiao Xing subconsciously turned around, but as soon as she turned, she bumped into a wall of flesh. She cried out and staggered back two steps.
Another large hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back, causing her to fall into a strong embrace.
Smelling his familiar scent, Qiao Xing subconsciously looked up and saw the handsome face she had been longing for day and night.
Qin Ce held his phone in one hand and had his arm around her with the other, gazing down at her.
"Did you see that?"
As the man's voice rang out, it also came through the phone. Qiao Xing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she hung up the phone, feeling embarrassed.
