As soon as he left, her heart felt empty.
Sitting on the bed, looking out the window, the setting sun casts a golden glow across the yard.
In this life, they got married!
She fell down again, greedily sucking in the remaining breath of his breath on the bed...
What an obsession and greed!
——
After Shamatte Jianjian got an agent arranged by the company, Ye Qiao stopped caring about him and focused all his attention on studying, because they would have their final exams at the end of the month!
Gu Xueyan hasn't appeared since the scandal. Now, on weekends, it's just the two of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Ye Qiao feels a lot more relieved!
By the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Qiao looked at the shopping mall still under construction in the most prosperous area of the future J City, and chatted with Ms. Du who was sitting at a table drinking afternoon tea.
"Gu Xueyan is too embarrassed to look for me, and I didn't look for her either! Even her mother is too embarrassed to ask me out! It's really embarrassing. Oh... I don't know what girls nowadays are thinking! Even if you can't get the love you want, you can't humiliate yourself, right?" When talking about this, Ms. Du couldn't help complaining.
Ye Qiao walked over and said, "Either she's too proud, or she's really too obsessed with Brother Xiao!"
I thought to myself, in your previous life, you often brought her in front of me to make me angry!
However, those were all things in her previous life. Thinking about it, she didn't blame Ms. Du at all. You reap what you sow.
Ms. Du is not unreasonable. As a daughter-in-law, she is impeccable in her conduct and work, so she naturally wouldn't feel bad about it! Of course, encountering a blindly strong and unreasonable mother-in-law is another matter.
"This kind of girl is so scary! Thinking back to how well and thoroughly she disguised herself, it still makes my head tingle!" Ms. Du said angrily, "Alas, the world is going downhill, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang.
"Mr. Du, the funds from Changfeng Group have not been allocated yet, and the construction party here is urging us to pay!" The general ledger accountant said anxiously on the phone.
Ms. Du frowned. "What did the accountant say about the connection with Changfeng?"
"Accountant Zhu keeps putting it off. I've been asking him for days! Today he says tomorrow, tomorrow he says the day after tomorrow!"
"Construction company, you just keep calm first. I'll ask Mr. Gu to urge them!" Ms. Du said in a deep voice and hung up the phone.
Ye Qiao had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.
"Aunt, is something wrong?" Ye Qiao asked with concern. Ms. Du shook her head slightly. She was in a hurry to make a phone call, so she took out her cell phone and dialed the number quickly.
"Mr. Gu, can you please help me check the situation with your company's accounting department? Why hasn't this installment of payment been paid yet? The construction party here is waiting for it urgently!" Ms. Du said politely. Gu Changfeng is her partner in this project.
Ye Qiao understood what she meant after listening to her words.
"Sister Du, excuse me for being blunt, but my company's funding chain has been broken, and I'm afraid we can no longer continue to invest in this project! Sister Du, I'm helpless too..." Gu Changfeng's voice came, and Ms. Du's heart was suddenly startled.
"Gu Changfeng, do you mean to withdraw your investment?!" she said excitedly.
The word "withdraw investment" really shocked Ye Qiao.
Looking at Ms. Du's gloomy face, she understood how serious this matter was to her.
"Sister Du, I don't want to do this either, but there's nothing I can do!" Gu Changfeng sighed and said with a helpless tone.
