Her eyelids were swollen and her eyes were red. If it were not for the fact that she normally wore glasses while travelling, Su Qiao An would have felt that it was even more embarrassing.

After what happened that night, no one mentioned it again.

If not for her eyes that were swollen like walnuts, Su Qiao An might have had a misconception. That night when she was being comforted and the person hugging her was an illusion in her dreams, and not the real Zhu Jiangci.

She had always thought that Zhu Jiangci wouldn't be able to see what she had done for him, and that her feelings would only last until the end of time.

But that night, Zhu Jiangci's expression and words clearly showed her that he knew what he had done and that she had worked hard for him.

He saw her feelings, but he could not accept them.

Even though her words were not clear, Su Qiao An felt that those words were even more painful than if they were straight up spoken. It was as if someone was cutting her heart with a knife.

"Qiao An, you have always been clear about Zhu Jiangci's attitude towards him. Since he has already spoken, you should give up even more." "You must know your current position clearly. Even if he says that he likes you now, so what? "Don't forget how he treated you these past few years, and …"

She paused. "Don't forget how Auntie died."

Qi Yuan Yuan didn't want to provoke Su Qiao An's hidden pain, and wasn't willing to uncover her wound either. It was just that Qi Yuan Yuan was afraid that this good friend of hers who was lost in thought the moment they met each other was foolishly coaxed back by Zhu Jiangci.

No one could see it more clearly than her. She knew how deep Su Qiao An's feelings for Zhu Jiangci were.

But no matter how deep one was, they wouldn't be able to withstand being injured again and again. She and Su Rong could only hope that Su Qiao An would come out of there soon.

A lover could, but must love someone worthy of her love.

That person … It couldn't be Zhu Jiangci.

Some people were destined to only be able to watch from a distance, making him a part of their memories that was sealed away. They didn't want him to become a target that they could chase, and even more so, they couldn't use Su Qiao An's power to survive.

Hearing that, Su Qiao An nodded his head and laughed bitterly: "I know what to do."

She couldn't help but want to get closer, and she couldn't control the emotions she had been suppressing for a long time.

What Zhu Jiangci had told her was just a venting point of the feelings she had accumulated. After crying happily for a while, she understood that there was no future between her and Zhu Jiangci.

He had already rejected her. He had taken off that layer of disgusted camouflage and seriously refused her.

Using that night when he had lost control, Su Qiao An could only bid farewell to him in that useless and useless manner. In the future, he could only use it to recall his memories.

You can leave at any time, and at that time, as long as it's convenient for you, I will come to pick you up and send you to the dock. Don't worry, I have already arranged everything on the boat, when you get off at the pier, there will be someone there to take care of you and bring you to the next stop. "

Zhu Jiangci was not easy to fool, and Chu Family was even more so not easy to provoke. If she wanted to help Su Qiao An leave, she would have to make preparations in advance, so that she wouldn't be caught red-handed before he even leaves.

"Thank you." Su Qiao An expressed his sincere gratitude and smiled, "Hopefully, we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yuan Yuan scoffed, and glanced at her, pretending to despise her, "I will find time to look for you and my child, but in order to be safe, I will not look for you for the past two years, to prevent Zhu Jiangci from targeting me. I will track you down along the vines, don't worry, I have already arranged everything over there, you and your child will be very happy there, and also very safe. Only then will Auntie Su be able to relax. "

The corner of Su Qiao An's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and he gave a light grunt.

She looked out the window of the coffee shop. The sunshine was beautiful and the light was mottled. People were walking on the street and there was an endless stream of them. She had never thought that one day she would fall to the point where she would have to rely on others to sneak out of the country.

She couldn't afford to gamble, nor could she afford to lose. This child was the only blood relative she had in this world, so she was determined to make him stay. For this reason, she was willing to sacrifice everything, no matter the cost.

Su Qiao An stayed up all night to check the contract before he was finally done. After eating lunch with Qi Yuan Yuan, he hurriedly rushed back to the company.

They were busy with accounting for the information of the older employees, and also had to settle the matter of recruiting new employees. The company was not happy with Zhu Jiangci's way of doing things, and the employees below were extremely resentful, but they had no choice but to do things honestly. After all, staying was not easy, and they were afraid that if they angered the big boss, they would be asked to roll over and roll over.

Su Qiao An waited in the elevator with great difficulty until he finally reached the top floor. When he reached the door, the secretary told him that Zhu Jiangci was in a meeting and couldn't come out for a while.

She paused and asked, "How many hours will it take?"

"Solicitor Su, I really don't know about this. The CEO's way of doing things has always been hard to figure out, furthermore, with these frequent meetings, sometimes every few hours or even every day, I'm not sure how long this meeting will continue for."

Su Qiao An pondered for a moment, "How about this! I'll go to the office and wait for him. If the meeting ends and the president comes out, tell him that I'm waiting for him at the office. "

"Sure, no problem."

She smiled, then turned and walked into the office.

The secretary did not lie, in order to clear up the company's atmosphere, Zhu Jiangci had really given a shot of medicine, even though the company would be severely injured, he would definitely not choose to drag those worms around and continue to commit heinous acts inside the company. He was currently arranging for people to recruit new employees, preparing to inject them with fresh blood, but the new employees could not get into the company as fast as they wanted, and they had to complete project handover as well, which greatly affected the effect of the job. Furthermore, the new employees needed at least a month of training, due to the tight task, they could only be trained for at most a week before they had to take part in the job.

She did not understand, how could Zhu Jiangci, who had been in the mall for a long time, not know about the pros and cons of this competition, and how could he not understand it? But if he did know, how could he have done such a vicious thing?

Once she entered the office, Su Qiao An sat on the sofa and waited for Zhu Jiangci to finish his meeting. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the black leather folder on the tea table and was startled.
