Qiao Qing, who was suddenly tagged, couldn't hide the surprise on her delicate face.
Ren Jingjing's face changed, her hands froze, and then she said with a smile: "Brother Xu, please take a look at our contract."
Xu Li played with the goblet in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled carefreely, "You are dressed like this, aren't you here to seduce me? I will do as you wish."
The wine glass was thrown suddenly onto the table, and a crisp "ding" sound was made when the glass collided with the table. In such a quiet occasion, it was really harsh and Ren Jingjing was startled.
He suddenly changed the subject and said in a playful tone, "What? Are you still not happy?"
"But I don't like to force things."
He casually crossed his legs and put his arms on the sofa. "The door is over there. Goodbye."
Qiao Qing's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her fair and tender face showed some unhappiness, and her lips were tightly pursed.
Without waiting for Ren Jingjing to speak, "What do you mean?"
Xu Li sneered, the curve of his lips showing obvious mockery, "What you mean is, don't you understand what people say?"
Ren Jingjing asked Qiao Qing to change her clothes in the hope that Xu Li would like her, but now that she is faced with such a choice, her conscience does not allow her to do such a thing.
His brows were furrowed, and his lips moved reluctantly, "I'm sorry to bother you."
She picked up the contract on the table and pulled Qiao Qing outside.
There was a voice behind me, which was cold, like the wind blowing in the cold winter, which felt a little bit chilly.
"If you leave this door today, the news that you have offended me may spread throughout the entire circle tomorrow."
"Ha~" There was firm confidence in the laughter.
Ren Jingjing clenched her fists.
Having offended Xu Li, most people are indeed unwilling to stand up for the little guy, especially those who have no power like them.
There was a slight struggle in her eyes, but she still took Qiao Qing's hand and walked out.
Such a result was indeed something that Qiao Qing had not expected.
Qiao Qing stopped and said softly, "Sister Jingjing, go wait for me outside first."
Ren Jingjing was a little surprised. She turned to look at Qiao Qing, only to see that the pair of eyes, which were as clear as a pool of spring water, were now filled with seriousness, and her little face was tinged with a bit of stubbornness.
I couldn't help but frown, "Qiao Qing, listen to me on this matter."
I felt a little regretful at first, and didn't know why I made such a decision just now.
But when she looked at Qiao Qing's resolute eyes, she felt relieved. It was undeniable that she liked this girl a little now.
Qiao Qing stepped closer to Ren Jingjing's ear and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Sister Jingjing, I know this person. You can go out without worry."
Although she couldn't remember whether she knew him or not, the burning gaze that kept lingering on her was enough to prove that this person knew him.
Ren Jingjing's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, but she was also worried that this was just Qiao Qing's words to comfort her, so she asked again.
"Is it true? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Qiao Qing nodded, "Really, don't worry."
Xu Li ignored the two people's whispering. He didn't smoke, and his bony fingers were really bored, so he picked up the lighter beside him and started spinning it.
The expression on his face seemed unreal in the transition between light and dark.
"Have you discussed it?"
Ren Jingjing was finally persuaded by Qiao Qing and she went out.
Just as I was trying not to close the door, a magnetic voice came from behind me.
"Close the door."
Finally gave up the idea in my mind.
Some were waiting outside the door anxiously.
Ren Jingjing had made plans that if there was anything wrong inside, she would call the police.
He took out his cell phone, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Why so many missed calls???
She held the phone with her slender fingers and quickly called back.
Qiao Qing sat in front of Xu Li. His careless eyes seemed to contain inquiry, and the deep meaning in his eyes made people think deeply.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.
For a moment, the room was eerily quiet, with only the barely audible breathing of the two people.
Xu Li laughed, breaking the silence between the two.
"It's been so long since we last met, and you didn't even say hello."
He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Qing. His eyes were like a bottomless lake and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. He stared at Qiao Qing for three full seconds.
Seeing that Qiao Qing didn't speak, he suddenly curled his lips and joked: "I don't know if you really forgot, or don't want to think about me?"
His tone was light, as if he didn't care much.
Qiao Qing faced Xu Li's gaze, her eyes flickered slightly, but she still didn't say that she didn't remember the words.
He said with a hint of deep meaning: "The people and things in the past are in the past. I only look at the present and only remember the happiness of the present."
She was completely confused, but she knew how to handle it. This man was either her ex-boyfriend or a backup plan with whom she had a previous relationship.
In front of this group of people, she has always maintained a good image, and there is nothing worth resenting.
"That's a good point."
Xu Li clapped his bony hands for Qiao Qing. His dark eyes were like a wolf's. "It's just that you got through, but some people can't."
Qiao Qing’s guess was really good.
Xu Li dated Qiao Qing when he was a sophomore in college.
At that time, Qiao Qing was a freshman and had just entered the school. She was gentle and pure and beautiful, just like a lotus in clear water or a water lily in the water, which was stunning.
At a glance, the breeze blew up the strands of hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes and a clean and sweet smile, which immediately caused ripples in the hearts of many boys.
Xu Li was one of them. He pursued Qiao Qing for three months and finally made the beauty let down her guard.
The two had been dating for less than two months when Xu's father found out and came to see Qiao Qing in person, and the two broke up.
Xu Li didn't understand why at that time, but Qiao Qing was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger, so she told him the reason for the breakup.
Looking at Qiao Qing's calm and composed face in front of me, I somehow thought of Qiao Qing when we broke up.
"I'm not in a relationship to satisfy a momentary desire, but I really want to find someone to spend my life with. If you can't even control your future now, then I'm sorry, you don't meet my requirements for a partner."
It was this sentence that made him only look at Qiao Qing from afar and not dare to approach him during his college years even though he clearly saw him.
If Qiao Qing, who was just looking for a reason to break up, knew his thoughts, she would probably think:???
Qiao Qing opened her pink lips slightly, her eyes showing seriousness, "Some things are over and done with. We all have our own lives, so it's better not to interfere with each other."
The way she looked at him, it didn't seem like she still had feelings for him, but rather that she had an obsession in her heart.
This advice is indeed sincere.
Xu Li didn't listen, and asked stubbornly: "What if I say no?"
Just when Qiao Qing was about to say something, the door suddenly opened, and a tall and imposing figure walked in against the light. He took big and quick steps with his long legs, and before Qiao Qing could see who this person was, he was already in front of Qiao Qing.
Jing Rui had an indifferent expression and cold eyes. After he came in, he didn't even glance at Xu Li, and his attention was completely on Qiao Qing.
The moment he saw Qiao Qing was safe and sound, his tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly, and the anxiety on his face eased a lot. He grabbed Qiao Qing's slender wrist with his bony hands and wanted to walk out.
Xu Li's eyes fell on Jing Rui. He stood up and quickly reached out to hold Qiao Qing's other hand. His eyes were like a lone wolf protecting its food. "Who are you?"
There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
Jing Rui stopped, turned around and met Xu Li's eyes.
Two seconds later, he chuckled, but the smile didn't even reach his eyes.
The corners of his eyes slightly raised, and he asked calmly, "Are you qualified to know?"
In an instant, the cold aura emanating from his body filled the entire room.
The hotel manager and Ren Jingjing, who were following behind Jing Rui, were so nervous that they didn't dare to say a word.
Ren Jingjing was so scared that she didn't know what to say. Qiao Qing was actually involved with Jing Rui. Fortunately, she didn't offend Qiao Qing too badly before, otherwise, it wouldn't be the manager who would make things difficult for her. If she offended the president, she would have to pack up and leave.
Xu Li sneered, "I am not interested in who you are. Why do you want to take Qiao Qing away?"
He knew Jing Rui, the helmsman of Lihua Group and the prince of Jing family. Even if his father came, he would have to give way, but so what?
At first, he hated himself for not being able to stick to his love. Regret tormented him day and night. He would think of this incident every time he woke up in the middle of the night, which made him have an indescribable paranoia about the past.
Today, he has to let someone else take Qiao Qing away in front of him.
Sorry!!! He really can't do it!!!
Jing Rui's dark eyes stared at Xu Li for several seconds, and it seemed that the magnetic fields of both of them were colliding with a "hissing" electric current.
Jing Rui only had a very faint smile on his lips, and he said slowly: "Because I am Qiao Qiao's boyfriend, and you are just a stranger to her."
Xu Li did not look at Jing Rui, but stared at Qiao Qing, and said affectionately: "Qiao Qiao"
Qiao Qing didn't wait for Xu Li to finish and interrupted him, "I said that the past is over. I already have someone I want to spend my life with. I hope you can find your happiness soon."
Her glowing white cheeks were full of seriousness, her eyes were fixed on Xu Li, and the bottom of her eyes were colder than when they broke up.
As soon as she finished speaking, she held Jing Rui's hand tightly.
Under the other party's incredulous gaze, she immediately broke free from Xu Li's hand and allowed Jing Rui to pull her out of the room.
Xu Li maintained his original posture, looking at Qiao Qing's receding back. His heart was filled with complex emotions that were difficult to express. He didn't know whether he should be angry or sad.
But the depression in my heart is hard to relieve.
He picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass. He drank glass of red wine one after another, and a feeling of restlessness slowly spread in his heart.
He yelled out loudly as if to vent his anger: "Ah!"
The slender hand couldn't help but exert force and dropped the cup to the ground.
With a "ding" sound, the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Xu Li ignored it. He just covered his head and lay on the sofa. After so many years of living a life of drunkenness and dreams, he didn't want to look for Qiao Qing. Wasn't it because he wanted to escape?
It was fate that brought the two of them together, meeting in such a scene! !
Jing Rui pulled Qiao Qing out of the door, then let go and walked forward with big strides.
His usually expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of anger and self-blame.
