Chapter 28 Of course she lied to him
"what are you up to?!"
Seeing Qiao Xuan approaching Qu Shunzhi's urn, Li Siqi instantly got angry. She opened her hands to block it, with a look of vigilance on her face.
The urn was placed next to Qu Shunzhi's portrait.
Qiao Xu'an frowned and explained, "I just wanted to burn some incense for my aunt."
“No need!”
Before Li Siqi could speak, Qu Ge sternly rejected Qiao Xuan.
She put down what she was holding and walked over quickly, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred for him: "You don't have the qualifications!"
"Xiaoge, I..."
"If you have nothing else, please leave. My house is too small to accommodate a giant like you."
Qiao Xuan wanted to explain, but Qu Ge didn't give him a chance to speak.
She had no intention of driving him away, but when she thought of Qu Shunzhi, the anger in her heart made it impossible for her to remain rational.
Seeing Qu Ge’s big reaction, Qiao Xuan frowned.
He didn't know where she got such a bad temper from.
But considering that she was pregnant, he suppressed his anger and gave in to her.
"Okay, since you don't want to see me, I'll leave." He took a few steps outside and turned back, "I'll have someone guard you downstairs 24 hours a day. If there's anything, tell them to do it."
Protect?
Qu Ge couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, who could be more dangerous to her than him, and who needs his protection? !
Qu Ge rolled his eyes at the man and slammed the door shut.
Li Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still worried, so she ran to the window and lay down to see if Qiao Xuan had really gone far away.
Seeing the black Maybach driving away, she couldn't help but curse: "You still have the nerve to say you want to burn incense for our mother? How shameless!"
Seeing the baby crib that was originally placed in the study, the anger on Li Siqi's face turned into worry.
"Little Cricket, have you really decided to give birth to this child?"
"What are you talking about in your sleep?"
Qu Ge slowly and leisurely sorted out the clothes he had taken out of the box, without even raising his eyes while speaking.
Li Siqi looked bewildered: "Didn't you agree with him on a condition that as long as he gave up Yunyao Island, you would..."
When the words came to her lips, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized it belatedly.
"So you lied to him?!"
Of course, Qu Ge said those words to lie to Qiao Xuan.
She had long been determined not to have this child.
Even if he held a gun to her, she wouldn't change her mind.
She would never let her child have a father as cruel as Joshua.
Rather than letting this child live in a twisted family from birth, she would rather he never come into this world.
She knew the child was innocent and that all this was so unfair to him.
But there is no such thing as fairness in this world.
Qu Shunzhi's ashes were still in front of him and had not been buried.
The word "fairness" is too luxurious for poor people like them!
…
Three days later, the bidding meeting for Yunyao Island will be held.
Qiao Xuan announced in front of the media cameras that Qiao Group will withdraw from the bidding.
The Yunyao Island development project was eventually acquired by the Qin Group.
As soon as this news came out, it instantly shook the entire Jiangzhou City.
"I did what I promised you."
At the same time as seeing the news, Qu Ge received a message from Qiao Xuan.
She thought about it and decided to call him back.
But no one answered the phone.
Until the evening, no one answered Qiao Xuan's phone.
Qu Ge guessed that something might have happened to him.
So she immediately called Rong Zhoubai to confirm.
On the phone, Rong Zhoubai confirmed her guess.
"Qiao Xu'an went straight to the Qiao family mansion after leaving the bidding meeting and never came out again."
"Qiao Jingren has been thinking about this project for two whole years, and now it's ruined by his own dog. He will definitely not let him go easily."
"Once the Qiao family father and son fall out, the people on the Qiao Group's board of directors will definitely take action. That will be the best time for us to defeat the Qiao family in one fell swoop."
Rong Zhoubai said these words to Qu Ge on the other end of the phone.
But, it is also said to the person in front of me.
At this moment, he was sitting on the top floor of Qin Group.
The person who was casually shaking his red wine glass opposite him was Qin Shuzhi.
Only after Rong Zhoubai hung up the phone did Qin Shuzhi speak.
"How did she react?"
"Very calm, after all, I knew this would be the outcome."
"Isn't she worried about Qiao Xu'an at all?" Qin Shuzhi raised an eyebrow. "After all, it's been three years. This woman is really cruel."
"It was Qiao Xian who lied to her first."
"Hey, does this count as protecting your food?"
Qin Shuzhi curled his lips and smiled, observing every subtle expression on Rong Zhoubai's face with interest.
But to his disappointment, Rong Zhoubai was still as indifferent as ever.
Those eyes, as deep as ink, could never show any emotion, as if they were a pool of stagnant water.
I've known him for ten years, but it seems like I've never seen his true face.
Qin Shuzhi was really curious about what could have moved this stone.
Rong Zhoubai saw at a glance that he was thinking about some useless things in his mind.
He got back to the point: "Thanks to Qu Ge, we were able to successfully divide the Qiao family's power this time. The rest of the matter is up to you."
"What do you mean, you're going back to Canada again?"
"After the old man passed away, there was a mess over there. If I don't keep a close eye on it, I'm afraid someone else will take advantage of it."
"That's right. Look at you, at this time, you still have the mood to come back in person to play house with that little girl. You really dote on her."
"She's my niece, so of course I have to pamper her."
"ha?"
If someone else said this, it might be believable.
But when it came out from Rong Zhubai's mouth, Qin Shuzhi felt like he was listening to a huge joke.
A "niece" who is completely unrelated to me.
Not to mention that they have no blood relationship at all, even if it was Rong's uncles and aunts, Rong Zhoubai would not blink an eye when he was ruthless.
Anyone who stands in his way has never been able to escape unscathed.
This ruthless guy who single-handedly turned the entire Canada upside down is now just sitting around in Jiangzhou City all day playing a revenge game with a little girl. What kind of revenge game is this?
Qin Shuzhi was finding it increasingly difficult to understand his old friend.
"I say, for the past two years, you've secretly supported me in gaining a foothold in Jiangzhou City, opposing the Qiao family at every turn. Could it be all for today?" He guessed, "You knew from the beginning that Qu Ge was He Qing's daughter? Did you also guess that she would fall out with Qiao Xu'an?"
"I did know she was He Qing's daughter a long time ago. However, I didn't expect her and Qiao Xu'an to talk for so long."
Rong Zhoubai spread his hands and answered frankly.
In front of Qin Shuzhi, he didn't need to hide too much.
There was a hint of amusement on Qin Shuzhi's lips.
These recent events really made him feel very interesting.
He should have thought of it earlier.
After all, Rong Zhoubai has never been a reckless person.
How could a man like him, who is full of tricks and always plans ten steps ahead in everything he does, abandon the overall situation in Canada and rashly come to China to wade into this muddy water for the sake of a woman?
Now it seems that everything was already within his calculations!
…
late at night.
Qu Ge tossed and turned in bed.
There is still no news about Qiao Xuan, which makes her feel uneasy.
It wasn't because she was worried about him, but because the current unclear situation made her feel inexplicably anxious.
Qiao Xuan has always been cautious in his actions, but this time he agreed to let her give up the Yunyao Island project without much hesitation.
Qu Ge knew him too well, and she couldn't help but wonder if there were any loopholes in this matter that she hadn't calculated...
“Knock knock knock!”
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Qu Ge was startled by the noise.
She quickly put on her clothes and went out to check.
Through the peephole on the door, she saw Bai Chuan supporting the shaky Qiao Xu'an, standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Ms. Qu! Open the door!"
Baichuan heard footsteps in the house and shouted inside.
It's almost two o'clock now.
Qu Ge was afraid that his noise would wake up the neighbors, so he quickly opened the door and let them in.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Xuan fell heavily to the ground.
With a thud.
Qu Ge's heart trembled with fright.
She frowned and asked Bai Chuan: "What's going on?"
"Mr. Qiao... he was beaten by the chairman."
A quarter of an hour ago, Qiao Xuan repeatedly told Bai Chuan not to tell Qu Ge about this.
But seeing how he looked now, Bai Chuan really didn't know how to explain it to Qu Ge.
Qu Ge's brows knitted tighter: "He's injured like this, why didn't you send him to the hospital? Why did you send him to me?!"
"I originally wanted to take Mr. Qiao to the hospital, but Mr. Qiao..."
When Baichuan picked up Qiao Xu'an from the Qiao family mansion, he was still conscious.
It was he who ordered Bai Chuan not to go to the hospital and asked him to send someone to find Zhou Yingrui.
Baichuan didn't dare to go against Qiao Xuan'an's wishes, so he notified Zhou Yingrui to go to Xichuan Yue and wait.
But when the car was halfway there, they heard Qiao Xuan calling Qu Ge's name in a daze.
"Go to Qu's house, I want to see her... I want to see Qu Ge..."
Qiao Xian repeated the same words countless times.
Baichuan didn't dare to be negligent and had to ask the driver to turn around.
In desperation, Qu Ge could only help Bai Chuan help Qiao Xu'an into the bedroom.
She was about to go out and get him a glass of water, but someone grabbed her wrist...
