Chapter 528 My back teeth were almost crushed.
This woman posted a lot of selfies on her WeChat Moments, portraying herself as independent and positive. She is somewhat attractive, of average appearance, but her youth is her advantage.
Cao Yun couldn't describe how he felt when he saw the woman's photo; his heart just felt cold.
She added the other person on WeChat using her own phone, saved the phone number on her phone, and then put the phone back.
She was too full to eat, but she still had to make a show of it, so she went to the kitchen and busied herself making dinner. When she brought it out, Qiao Hong was playing on his phone on the sofa.
She walked over to Qiao Hong and said, "Why don't you eat something, as a midnight snack?"
Qiao Hong looked up at her and saw that the woman looked haggard. She looked even older than before since she lost her job.
Perhaps because they had lived together for so long, Qiao Hong felt a sense of unfamiliarity and disgust towards this face when he saw it.
He stood up and walked into the house. "I'm not eating. I have a meeting tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now."
Cao Yun frowned, and his expression turned cold.
It seems this man is determined to divorce her, and there's no sign of him wanting to change his mind.
As expected, the longer you're together, the more you hate each other.
Cao Yun dumped all the food into the trash can and returned to his room.
She wanted to know why Qiao Hong had suddenly been promoted and received a raise, and how he had inexplicably turned his life around after just one trip to the capital.
I've never heard of him having any acquaintances in Beijing.
She took out her phone and scrolled through her WeChat Moments when she suddenly came across a post by Qiao Ying. Qiao Ying had actually gone to Beijing to look for a job.
Cao Yun, seemingly lost in thought, opened Qiao Ying's chat window and sent her a message: Are you there?
Qiao Ying was a little surprised. She didn't recognize this person because there was no contact information for her. So she opened her WeChat Moments and took a look before recognizing her as her fourth aunt.
Qiao Ying'er replied: What's wrong, Fourth Aunt?
Cao Yun: You've run off to the capital now?
Qiao Ying: Yes.
Cao Yun: I don't even know when I went there.
Qiao Ying: I came with my fourth uncle, didn't you know?
Cao Yun caught the information and immediately asked: Oh, it's been too long, I've forgotten. Why did you stay in the capital and not come back with us?
Qiao Ying: I have some things to take care of here, so I won't be coming back for the time being.
Cao Yun: Oh, so has your fourth uncle's matter been resolved?
Qiao Ying: It's resolved, right? I saw on his WeChat Moments that he even changed his car. You guys are so lucky, Auntie.
Cao Yun: What's there to be happy about? I'm just glad he doesn't make me angry.
Qiao Ying: Oh, Fourth Aunt, try to think more positively. Although Qiao Xing isn't your biological daughter, you see how much better your lives are now thanks to her. You should be happy. Why bother with these little things?
Cao Yun's gaze fell on the name Qiao Xing, and what he had been pondering was now becoming clear.
She continued to probe Qiao Ying: So you knew too.
Qiao Ying: Of course I know. If it weren't for me, Fourth Uncle probably wouldn't even know that Qiao Xing has married such a rich husband. So Fourth Aunt, you have to put in a good word for me.
Cao Yun now understood everything. She gave a perfunctory reply and continued to press for details: "Your fourth uncle has been keeping things from me all the time, so just how rich is Qiao Xing's husband?"
Qiao Ying: His husband founded S&C in Chongqing, and his father is the chairman of Qin Group in Beijing. Isn't that amazing?
Cao Yun was startled.
She hadn't heard the name Qiao Xing for many years, and she never expected her to be so amazing now.
When Cao Yun saw this line of text, he almost ground his back teeth to powder.
So she'd gotten involved with another daughter; no wonder she wanted a divorce.
A surge of jealousy and anger nearly overwhelmed Cao Yun.
She had lost all interest in talking to Qiao Ying anymore and sat blankly on the bed, lost in thought. They had reunited as father and daughter, but what about her? What would become of her daughter and son?
She knew her own limitations; she couldn't possibly outmaneuver Qiao Xing's husband.
If they get divorced, even if she gets the car and the house, Qiao Hong will live a better and better life thanks to that daughter, so what will she do?
After so many years of marriage and so much suffering, are we just going to let it go like this?
Cao Yun tried to calm herself down; she needed to come up with a solution.
She decided to consult a lawyer tomorrow; she couldn't get a divorce, otherwise she would have nothing left.
Qiao Xing was unaware of all this; she slept too much during the day and suffered from insomnia as usual at night.
Qin Ce watched TV with her. Today, Qin Ce was smarter. He turned on the news channel first, then turned off the lights, and the two of them sat on the sofa to watch TV.
He suddenly realized that perhaps a television should be installed in the bedroom.
Qiao Xing held a fruit platter in her arms, eating fruit while watching TV.
This news is so soothing; I fell asleep before I even finished my fruit.
The next day, Qiao Xing got up very early, around seven o'clock.
She thought she was supposed to have a meeting at the company today. She checked her WeChat first, but Xiao Lin hadn't replied. She wondered if she didn't intend to care.
She ate something quickly and then asked Xing Jiu to drive her to the company.
Surprisingly, Xing Jiu wasn't in the neighborhood.
Xing Jiu said on the phone, "Wait a moment, I'll be back in half an hour."
"Oh, okay."
Half an hour later, Xing Jiu returned, carrying a large box in his hands.
Qiao Xing blinked, looking at him with confusion, "What's this?"
Xing Jiu put the box on the ground, finally revealing his fierce-looking face. "TV."
"ah?"
Xing Jiu opened the box, took out the television, and said, "Young Master asked me to install a television in your bedroom. May I come in now?"
Qiao Xing was a little taken aback. She nodded blankly, "Yes."
Xing Jiu took the TV out and spent about twenty minutes assembling it inside.
Qiao Xing looked at the new TV in the bedroom with a strange expression. "Why would he install a TV in the bedroom for no reason?"
Xing Jiu shook her head. "I don't know."
"Never mind, let's go to the company first."
Xing Jiu escorted her to the company. Qiao Xing pushed open the door, habitually leaving it open, and went to open the window for ventilation, standing outside for a few minutes.
The people inside were sleeping haphazardly. The morning wind was still a bit chilly, and after a short while, Tao Yang, who was on the sofa, woke up.
"Who opened that window?!"
But no one responded to him. Sun Miao was sleeping upstairs, and Shen Boyan was sleeping in the conference room inside.
"I drove it." Qiao Xing walked in from outside, looked around, and thought, well, it had turned into a garbage dump again after a few days, but she didn't care to clean it up.
Anyway, it'll just look like this again in a few days, and besides, she's only here for a short while, to have a meeting and then she'll leave.
"Aren't they supposed to have a meeting? Are they still sleeping?"
"Yes, we just went to sleep. Why don't you sit for a while?"
Qiao Xing had nothing else to do, so after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay then, you continue sleeping, I'll sit for a while."
