Yin Qinghuan hadn't slept that night. When she came back at night, she even heard her mother looking at the television as she shook her head regretfully. This Qiao Yonuo was really pitiful. He had left at such a young age.
Poor?
At that time, she stopped and looked at the woman with her back facing her. If she could, she really wanted to let this woman know …
The man you pity was killed by your son with your own hands!
I hope you can still say something like that when you know the truth.
At two in the morning, her cell phone vibrated.
Looking at the caller ID, Yin Qing was surprised. Why did he call her at such a late hour?
At this time …
The woman didn't answer, but the other side seemed to want to disturb her. Her phone continued to vibrate without stopping.
After a moment's hesitation, she slipped her phone and pressed the answer button.
However, before she could open her mouth to say anything, the person's extremely hoarse voice came over the phone — —
"Come out now. I want to see you."
"But it's very late, Qi …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Yan ended the call. The woman turned on the lamp and looked at the time, then looked at her phone. She got off the bed and walked to the window.
What did Qi Yan Shang want to do in the middle of the night?
After putting on his coat and changing his shoes, he took his mobile and left the room.
Mother Yin and the servants were resting. She secretly slipped out, hoping that she wouldn't be discovered.
The cold wind at night made people shiver. Yin Qinghuan pulled her coat closer and walked to the front of the car.
The car door opened from the inside, and the man in the driver's seat had a cold profile that was enough to make anyone feel a chill that was barely discernible, gradually blending with the cold night.
After Yin Qinghuan got into the car, she felt even colder. I can't tell you what it feels like, it's just … His heart trembled.
The car drove away from the Yin house and stopped on a quiet, shady street not far away.
This place was originally far away from the city, so it was late at night and early in the morning. There were almost no cars passing by, much less people. For a moment, the silence was eerie.
As time passed, he did not speak, and she remained silent.
She had thought that it would be a long time before she saw this man again. After all, the news of the death of his former fiancee was now known by everyone in the city.
Even though he was the predecessor, he was still someone who had almost become a husband and wife …
"Yin Qinghuan." Abruptly, the man's cold eyes looked at her. His thin lips curled into a single word, and each word that he said next was clear and awe-inspiring —
"Where is she?"
He said, Where is she?
It was not like a question, but more like one that wanted an answer from her.
She? The woman remained silent. She didn't quite understand what Qi Yan Shang wanted to ask.
In the end, she shook her head without any change in her expression. She indifferently lifted her lips and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Qiao Yunuo." Qi Yan looked at her with her secretive eyes. When she mentioned those three words, her voice had clearly lowered by a few degrees, making people shudder in fear.
Yin Qinghuan knew why Qi Yan Shang had come to find her. It was because of the matter regarding the cemetery last time.
"Director Qi should have been to the police station to identify the body, right?"
He must have been there, she thought, but... Maybe he didn't see the body, maybe even if he did, he wouldn't be able to recognize the man.
Therefore, he did not believe that Qiao Yino was dead. If there was anyone in this world who knew of Qiao Yino's current whereabouts, Qi Yan Shang would only suspect Yin Qinghuan.
"Miss Qiao is already dead."
It was impossible to assume that Qiao Yino was still alive just because she might have gone to the cemetery to visit his deceased mother for him, which was unfounded. Qi Yan Shang, I thought you would wake up more sober than anyone else, but I didn't expect … Now you are the confused one.
"She won't die."
In the end, he could only say these four words. She would not die, and the unrecognizable body would not be hers.
Yin Qing turned her head to look outside the window. Hearing these words, she felt like crying. However, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Even the moon is round and lacking. Boss Qi, why are you so sure that some people will never leave?"
Qi Yan Shang, not everything is within your control.
Life and death were things that you didn't believe in.
Qi Yan Shang's black eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. The curve of his lips was plated with a few traces of self-mockery and bitterness. That's right, why was he so sure that Qiao Yonuo would never leave him?
During the past ten years, he had unknowingly gotten used to her existence and her clamor.
He had always thought that she would always be at the same place. She wouldn't leave, she wouldn't leave, she wouldn't disappear.
"Get out."
He only said these two words in the end. However, Yin Qinghuan had already understood the meaning behind his words.
Perhaps this time, the relationship between him and the car should end.
However, she couldn't figure out why.
"Director Qi, your reaction is so weird, I thought you wouldn't care."
The man disappeared for three months. You never cared. Who was he showing it to now?
"Yin Qinghuan, get off."
This time, Qi Yan Shang's tone was cold, without a doubt. It was as if he would make her regret getting into this car if she said another word.
The woman let out a pained laugh and opened the car door. The moment she got off, a cold wind blew.
However, the bone-piercing cold wind was able to make one instantly sober up.
Without looking back, she walked further and further away from the car.
Perhaps, this ending was very good. Qi Yan Shang, never regret, because that will make me feel disgusted with you.
In the morning, when Yin Qinghuan went to the ST office, Qiao Annie's seat was still empty. There was nothing strange about this, she would not be coming to the company for a short period of time.
Ke Yi Chen …
"Since the competition has already been cancelled, what else did she come here for?"
"Yeah, even Yi Chen has left …"
Behind her, two assistants were whispering to each other. Yin Qinghuan knew that they were talking about her.
Now, almost all the employees in the office had lost their motivation to work. Gu Wenliu didn't come to the company, and Shi Qian also didn't come.
With Qiao Yinuo's death, the company's pillar seemed to have fallen. Many people were worried that Gu Wenliu would remain as the director.
Only Yin Qinghuan acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care about this at all as she continued with the unfinished work on her hands.
It was Qiao Yinuo who had died. What did it have to do with Yin Qinghuan? She was the only person in this company who hadn't come into contact with Qiao Yonuo. Naturally, she wouldn't be grieving over that person's death.
Gu Wenliu's assistant walked over and knocked on her desk.
"Designer Yin doesn't need to come back anymore. The competition has been cancelled."
At the end of the day, Yin Qinghuan was not an ST employee. She was just a participant. She was different from Yi Chen. Even if there was no competition, Yi Chen could still stay, but Yin Qinghuan could not.
"Is this Director Gu's intention?"
The woman asked disapprovingly. The other person fell silent and did not reply.
Director Gu only said that the competition would be cancelled, but the rest …
"Unless Director Gu personally forces me to leave, otherwise … I'll stay on. "
Presumably, Gu Wenliu didn't have the time or energy to manage the ST right now. I just don't know what the situation is like now.
She was still carrying a child, and she must not have been able to bear the blow.
In the Qi family villa.
Housekeeper Zheng couldn't stop the woman who barged in. His stomach was slightly swollen and his hands were clenched into fists. It was impossible to calm his anger. If Gu Wen Liu hadn't been guarding her for the night, he would have been in trouble by now.
She almost fainted last night. She wanted to go to the police station, but she didn't dare to.
The medical certificate could not be deceived. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she kept beating Gu Wenliu, asking him why he did not go looking for her back then.
Why didn't they care at that time? If they had gone to look for someone earlier, perhaps … Maybe Yeno wouldn't die.
The cause of death had yet to be investigated, but Gu Wenliu was able to find out the last time he dialed Qiao Yonuo's number.
Her cell phone had been turned off the night before the engagement.
The other party did not answer the phone call.
"Teacher is in the study room and hasn't come out for the whole night."
It was obvious that Steward Zheng had also cried. His reddened eyes were sunken in. Miss Qiao was such a good person. How could she have met with such a situation?
"He had better die inside!"
Shi Qian headed straight for the stairs. Gu Wen Liu took three steps forward and grabbed her waist, afraid that she would fall. However, Shi Qian used some force to push him away, not letting him touch her.
In her eyes, Gu Wen Liu and Qi Yan were just as heartless as the two of them!
The door to the study was pushed open, and from time to time, he would enter only to see a man standing in front of the French windows with his back facing him.
In the blink of an eye, all the repressed anger and hatred surged within his heart. How could he still stand here so indifferently? Why wasn't he the one who died!
Qi Yan glanced at the woman who barged in. His black eyes were indifferent as he pursed his lips. He could clearly see the anger written on the woman's face.
"Qi Yan Shang, you're the one who killed her!"
The woman's scream was laced with tears and anger. She rushed forward and ruthlessly grabbed onto the man's sleeves with her hands. "She's dead! It's you who killed her, it's you! "
When Gu Wen Liu entered the study room and saw this scene, he hurriedly went up to the woman and stopped her from eating.
"Don't touch me!" Shi Qian was now like a hedgehog. From last night until this morning, she had shut herself up in her room and cried all night. When he came out in the morning, his eyes were no longer on Gu Wenliu. Instead, he said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Take me to see Qi Yan Shang."
Qi Yan could only look down at the woman who was tearing him apart. His lips were a little dry and white, and there wasn't a single ripple in his dark eyes. It was as if he had brought this upon himself.
She slowly let go of his hand and retreated a few steps back. While enduring the pain, she stared at the man with her scarlet eyes, and every word she said next was heartbreaking.
"Why didn't you pick up the phone? Why! Qi Yan Shang, before her accident, why didn't you pick up her phone?! "
Qi Yan Shang's body shook as he looked at Shi Yan with a dull look in his eyes.
Gu Wenliu naturally noticed his wife's discomfort, but she was too stubborn to let him touch her. No matter how painful it was, he would still endure it.
"Shallow, don't say anymore."
He tried to lift her to the hospital, but she was struggling so hard that Gouwen stopped herself, afraid she would hurt him.
"Why don't you let me say it! Qi Yanzhi, do you know that the phone call was Yino who asked you for help? But you didn't answer, why!? "
