Chapter 551 A Thoughtful and Good Man
Qiao Hong's car hadn't gone far when Qiao Ying rushed over and blocked his way.
Qiao Hong was immediately terrified and slammed on the brakes.
He stuck his head out of the car window, his voice a mix of anger and exasperation, "What are you doing! Are you out of your mind?!"
Qiao Ying looked at him fearlessly, "Come back with me to see my mother, and I'll make her apologize to her!"
Qiao Hong looked at her and knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully now.
...
Wang Ye's shop has received a lot of furniture, and most of it has already started to be installed.
He spends almost every day in the shop, supervising the process, afraid that something might go wrong or not be installed properly.
When Qiao Xing arrived at the store, he was lying under a table connecting a power source. Qiao Xing didn't see him and assumed no one was there. Just as he was about to call him, his head suddenly popped out from under the table.
"Cousin! You're here!"
Qiao Xing was startled. Seeing his face covered in dust, she said, "Aren't these things usually done by professional craftsmen? How did you get yourself into this state?"
Wang Ye waved his hand, "I feel more at ease if I check some things myself. After all, it's something we'll be using for a long time, and it's for a hot pot restaurant. If something goes wrong, it could be an irreparable loss."
Hearing his words, Qiao Xing couldn't help but look him up and down. "When did you become so thoughtful?"
"Bai Yi taught me all of that," Wang Ye said subconsciously.
Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiao Xing let out an "oh," deliberately drawing out the last syllable, which was quite meaningful.
Wang Ye then realized that he had originally intended to praise himself in front of Qiao Xing, but he had ended up mentioning Bai Yi instead.
He quickly spat three times, afraid that Qiao Xing would misunderstand something, and explained, "What do you mean she taught me? She just tells me to pay attention to this and that every day. I'm so tired of hearing it, of course I can't forget it."
Qiao Xing smiled but didn't say anything.
Her expression made Wang Ye feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if there really was something between him and Bai Yi.
He simply changed the subject, asking Qiao Xing in a boastful manner, "How is it? My renovation turned out pretty well, right?"
Qiao Xing took a quick look around and nodded in approval. "Not bad, this style is quite nice, but it doesn't seem like something you would choose based on your aesthetic sense."
Wang Ye clicked his tongue. "What are you saying!"
Qiao Xing smiled and teased him deliberately, "Is it Bai Yi's opinion again?"
“No, it really isn’t.” Wang Ye crossed his arms. “It was Qin Ce from your family who gave me the plan. Let me tell you, all these materials are high-grade and formaldehyde-free. He really cares about you.”
Wang Ye sighed as he spoke, saying that his cousin was truly lucky to have found such a thoughtful and kind man.
Qiao Xing looked at him in surprise, "Qin Ce? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Although the store was sponsored by Qin Ce, Qiao Xing always thought that Qin Ce wouldn't pay attention to things like renovations, or rather, that it didn't seem like something he would be interested in.
Qiao Xing suddenly remembered that she seemed to have talked to Wang Ye about it when he first had the idea of opening a shop.
Wang Ye wasn't very confident in his own aesthetic sense, so he specifically consulted Qiao Xing about what style of decoration would look good for the store.
But Qiao Xing didn't know anything about these things. She looked up some renovation plans online, but ended up getting overwhelmed by them.
She originally wanted to ask Qin Ce for help, but Qin Ce's company was busy, so she was too embarrassed to ask. Later, when Qin Ce asked her, she casually mentioned the renovation.
Qiao Xing put this matter aside after learning she was pregnant, and later she forgot to ask Wang Ye if the renovation plan had been finalized.
Qiao Xing never expected that Qin Ce would remember something she herself had forgotten.
Qiao Xing looked at the store's interior design again and felt it was different this time.
It does seem to fit Qin Ce's taste perfectly.
When Wang Ye looked up, he noticed the smile on Qiao Xing's lips and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
Qiao Xing asked him, "Is there anything I can help you with lately?"
She couldn't contribute much, but she could still discuss things with Wang Ye and offer him some suggestions.
Wang Ye raised an eyebrow. "I haven't seen you for the past few days. How come you suddenly have time again? Aren't you going to work?"
"Go ahead, it's nothing serious. Aren't you alone? You must have a lot to do."
Since the Big Bad Wolf team completed their collaboration with Li Ya, they have already started working on their own projects, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
However, she occasionally assigned her some simple tasks, so Qiao Xing could just do whatever she wanted at home while taking care of her pregnancy. Shen Boyan knew she was pregnant, but he basically didn't contact her and told Tao Yang and the others not to bother her unless it was necessary.
Wang Ye finally finished installing the power supply, dusted himself off, and said, "There's nothing much going on for now. The main thing is that there are many places that need to be monitored. Besides, even if something really happens, I can't let you do it. Although I own this shop, Qin Ce is the major shareholder. You're practically half the boss's wife. How could I dare to order you around?"
Qiao Xing knew he was teasing her on purpose, so she didn't argue. Instead, she asked, "Did Bai Yi say when he'd be back?"
Wang Ye paused, wondering how the conversation had suddenly turned to Bai Yi again.
He shook his head: "No, she's busy all day long. She only video calls Linlin in the evening to talk to me about things at the store, and then hangs up after a few minutes. How would I know when she'll be back?"
Qiao Xing saw that it was almost time, chatted with Wang Ye for a few words, and then came out of the store.
The old man said he wanted to eat steamed pork with rice flour for dinner. She wasn't very good at making this dish, so she went to buy the ingredients first and waited for Qin Ce to come back to make it for the old man.
There was a vegetable market not far from Wang Ye's shop, and Qiao Xing stood by the roadside waiting for the traffic light to change.
A bus stopped across the street, and Xixi got off the bus.
She gripped her schoolbag tightly and walked towards the other platform. Getting from school to Wang Qin's shop required changing buses several times, and she needed to take another bus.
Qiao Xing saw Xi Xi get off the car, but Xi Xi didn't notice her. Just then, the green light turned on, and she crossed the street, wanting to say hello to Xi Xi.
Less than a hundred meters away from the two, Qiao Ying and Qiao Hong were still locked in a stalemate.
Qiao Ying refused to move aside, and Qiao Hong refused to get out of the car. Half an hour had passed, and neither of them was willing to back down.
More and more people gathered at the hotel entrance, and Qiao Hong's phone kept ringing. Finally, Qiao Hong lost his patience. He pointed at Qiao Ying and said angrily, "Yingying, I'll say it again, Dad has something to do at the company, get out of the way! If you keep acting up, Dad will really get angry!"
Qiao Ying stood still. "Fine, go ahead and run me over! Let everyone see how you treat your own daughter and abandon your family for this mistress!"
Qiao Hong was so angry he was about to vomit blood. How could he have given birth to such an ignorant daughter!
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Meimei not only failed to appease Qiao Hong, but also fanned the flames, saying, "She's deliberately threatening you. The more you act like this, the less afraid she becomes. Just charge at her directly. I don't believe she's really not afraid of death!"
