The newlyweds' wedding car arrived at the Rose Garden Restaurant before the auspicious time. As soon as the car stopped and the door was opened, the girls screamed excitedly.
"Oh my god! The roses here are so beautiful. I want to get married here in the future..."
Bai Nanqing, who was in the car behind, heard the shouting and glanced through the glass. She was stunned when she saw the roses that surrounded the entire restaurant.
How can this be possible?
She quickly took off her sunglasses and looked carefully with wide eyes.
After making sure once again that the blooming roses were not an illusion, she got out of the car and strode closer to the flowers.
Every rose in the garden is so delicate and bright, like a beautiful painting.
"These flowers are all fake, right? They must be fake!" Bai Nanqing doubted subconsciously, the hatred in his eyes almost solidified.
Anyone who is not blind can tell the difference between real and fake flowers at a glance. Her disbelief may be due to shock in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Qiao Zhixia upstairs, it is a confession after committing a crime.
Bai Nanqing seemed uneasy throughout the entire banquet, especially when she saw Qiao Zhixia being treated as a guest and having a good chat with everyone present, she looked even more gloomy.
This was completely opposite to the scenario she had planned. She never imagined that such a powerful medicine could not kill those broken flowers.
Before the party was over, she left early on the pretext of feeling unwell.
She covered her face tightly and went directly to Qi Heng's company.
Since Bai Nanqing is the cousin of Qi Heng's deceased wife, it is not unusual for her to meet him at his company, and everyone in Qi Heng's company is used to it.
However, no one knew that as soon as the door was closed, the two of them couldn't wait to bite each other on the desk.
Qi Heng's eyes were full of lust as he raised his hand to unbutton her clothes. "Aren't you going to a wedding? Why do you miss me so much?"
"When will you marry me?" Bai Nanqing stopped the man from taking any further action.
Qi Heng's chest rose and fell, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "You know, if we get married, everything we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant."
"Are we going to keep sneaking around like this?"
Qi Heng smiled calmly: "Isn't this great? Didn't you say that marriage is taboo in the entertainment industry?"
He has been interested in Bai Nanqing these days, perhaps it is because of the excitement of cheating on her. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. This is the truth.
If you really marry her, how many men will remain interested in a woman who can fall asleep as soon as she turns over?
Bai Nanqing was disappointed for a moment, then said: "We can get married in secret! That jerk surnamed Xu is so dead, it won't have any impact anymore, maybe we can become a good story."
The lust in Qi Heng's eyes completely faded, and his face was full of coldness: "Not now, wait until I acquire Feixia and let the company go public in Hong Kong City Financing, then we can talk about marriage."
Bai Nanqing was a smart woman who knew that some things should not be pushed too hard. She raised her hand to straighten Qi Heng's tie and changed the subject.
"That Qiao Zhixia is so lucky. The flowers that were sprayed with toxic herbicides didn't die. She even got the limelight in front of Director Liu. It really pissed me off."
"After all, she is the second young master Qin's person. You should look at the face of the Buddha instead of the monk. I have no objection to you wanting to deal with her, but it's best to wait until she is dumped by the second young master Qin before taking action, so as not to cause trouble for yourself."
Bai Nanqing lowered her eyes, but a hint of evil charm appeared at the corners of her lips. "I know what's going on. I just want to cause her some trouble for now. As for the second young master Qin, the best way to make a man hate a woman is to let him fall in love with a new woman..."
A few days later, Qin Li was about to return to Hong Kong, and Qiao Zhixia went to Qin Yunlang's villa for a dinner party.
After the maids came back, the villa was finally restored to its former cleanliness.
Qin Li was in the backyard playing on the slide with the two kids, while Ruan Fengjiao was in the kitchen directing Aunt Wu to make a seafood hotpot.
Qiao Zhixia and Qin Yunlang sat on the sofa. Qiao Zhixia turned on the TV because the variety show she invested in would be officially aired that day.
On the screen, Shu sang, guessed riddles, and played games with a group of big names in the entertainment industry. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
The program is cheerful and humorous with some hilarious moments, and the effect is impeccable. It is broadcast at a prime time, so I believe the ratings will not disappoint.
The more famous the artist is, the more low-key and humble they seem to be. On the contrary, some half-baked artists like Bai Nanqing act much more arrogant than their actual abilities.
Looking at the Jingyang Group's logo and advertising pictures, which frequently appeared in close-up shots and arranged for celebrity guests to do word-of-mouth promotion, Qiao Zhixia felt that the money was well spent this time.
After appearing in this variety show, the fame of this outdated "child star" will naturally rise.
Signing a contract to be Jingyang's spokesperson is not only not as expensive as being a big star, but most importantly, she has a decent and noble character. She will not be easily tempted by interests and go astray, nor will she worry about the collapse of her reputation.
The reason why she never received the script was not because of her lack of ability or bad luck, but because she did not accept the unspoken rules, so she was chosen again and again and was abandoned again and again.
But fortunately, when she was about to give up, she met Qiao Zhixia, and they were able to achieve each other.
But, I wonder what the group of people who left with Bai Nanqing at the beginning would think after seeing this variety show?
Have Bai Nanqing delivered all the resources he promised them?
Shu, whom they once looked down upon, was already someone they could not reach the next time they met him.
A table full of carefully prepared dishes was laid out. At the table, Ruan Fengjiao first served a bowl of Cordyceps and Pigeon Soup to Qiao Zhixia and the two children.
Since having two children, Ruan Fengjiao personally makes soup for her family every day.
These days, the two kids have tried many different soups, sweet, salty, strange, delicious, and unpalatable.
The cordyceps and pigeon soup was cooked for three hours.
"This soup is good for women if they drink more." Ruan Fengjiao seemed to have already treated Qiao Zhixia as her own daughter-in-law, and the soup bowl she gave Qiao Zhixia was always larger.
The father and son on the side relied on themselves to be self-sufficient. Qin Yunlang had long been accustomed to being ignored by his mother, but Qin Li still found it difficult to accept.
"Didn't you tell me you can't cook? Are you lying to me?"
Ruan Fengjiao didn't blush or jump, and said in a righteous manner: "When did I lie to you? I can't cook in the first place. I only know how to make soup and seafood."
After she and her sister arrived in Hong Kong, they worked in a seafood stall to make a living, so she learned how to cook seafood, make clay pot porridge, and make delicious soup.
Later, she married into a wealthy family. In order to keep up with Qin Li's pace, she had to learn etiquette, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and language classes. Naturally, she had no time to enter the kitchen.
Moreover, in the upper class society at that time, cooking was done by maids, and if she, a wife, went to the kitchen, she would only be laughed at.
Qin Li was secretly sulking, but when he turned around and saw the two little kids, the gloom in his heart disappeared.
He saw that Qin Yunlang and Qiao Zhixia got along well with each other, and Qiao Zhixia was a person they liked very much, so he decided to say what was blocking his words.
"Xiao Qiao, you know Yun Lang's situation. He has no other women except you. You are still young, and we shouldn't selfishly tie you to marriage, but you already have a child. Even without that certificate, you are destined to have an unbreakable bond."
Qiao Zhixia put on a polite smile and said, "Uncle, you can just say whatever you want to say."
"What I mean is that after we die, the property of our Qin family will be left to you and your two children. For the sake of legal and reasonable inheritance rights, why don't you and Yunlang get a marriage certificate?"
