But sometimes, she couldn’t recognize the reality. She always felt that she had a way out, or rather, she subconsciously left herself a way out, as if this was the only way to make her feel safe.

The ups and downs of many years in the business world had told him that a sense of security was something that he had to take the initiative to fight for.

What others gave him was never a sense of security.

“Go back. It’s windy here, be careful not to catch a cold. ”

She nodded and was about to go back when the man lifted her up by her waist and slowly placed her on the king-sized bed.

“It’s past five o’clock. I have something to take care of at the company. You should sleep a little longer. I’ll get Zhang Sao to come up and ask you to go down for dinner at around eight. ”

Qiao man obediently lay back down. Looking at him standing by the bed, she could not help but ask, “I just vaguely heard about Dongfeng… ”

“It’s alright, leave it to me. ” He sat by the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Go to sleep. ”

Qiao man smiled and closed her eyes in peace. The sound of clothes rustling could be heard in the room, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.

A night had passed. The struggle in her heart and the helplessness in reality had turned into a resolution along with that love affair.

From today onwards, she would use her actual actions to tell those who made her miserable that she, Qiao man, was really not a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.

…

10 am, Ming Yuan Corporation building.

Secretary Yang brought in the wine that he had brought from the old mansion and placed it on the coffee table that was used to receive guests. Then, he walked to the large table with the French windows and said respectfully, “President Ji, the wine is a Romani Conti that has been aged for 15 years. As for the women, I have picked five of them. Do you need to take a look? ”

Zhang Yue had been in the officialdom for a long time and had seen all kinds of women. An ordinary woman would definitely not be able to enter his eyes. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to take a look personally.

“Okay. Tell them to wait for me in the dining room nearby. I’ll be there right away. ”

Secretary Yang nodded. “Okay, President Ji. ”

The pear blossom wood door opened and closed. The large office once again fell into silence. It was so quiet that it seemed as if only the buzzing sound of the air conditioner could be heard.

Just as he was about to lower his head to continue processing the documents, his phone on the table vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID and swiped the answer button. “Brat, how are you and that little girl? ”

“Didn’t you say that she has a bad reputation? Why are you still asking me what I’m doing with her? ”

Zhou Lanqing heard her grandson’s teasing and coughed dryly. “At least she’s the only living girl I’ve seen by your side for so many years. How can I not be concerned? ”

Ever since he had gone through puberty, this kid had basically never had a girlfriend. He was neither hot nor cold towards the girls around him.

It couldn’t be said that he liked them, but it couldn’t be said that he disliked them. Each of them started very quickly, but ended up in vain very quickly.

No one had ever been able to stay by his side.

Sometimes, she even suspected that her precious grandson had some special fetishes and was deliberately using this method to cover it up.

It wasn’t until this little girl named Qiao man appeared that she put an end to this absurd thought of hers.

Ji Yunshen turned his chair around and looked out of the French window. “Did you call me just to ask this? ”

When Zhou Lanqing heard this, she immediately became angry. “You sound like I’m very free? Humph, if you don’t want me to go to your villa to stop her, you’d better bring her back for me to take a good look. Otherwise, you know women’s curiosity. ”

“Grandma, you can’t be considered a woman, right? ! ”

Zhou Lanqing shouted angrily, “Yes, she’s not considered a woman, she’s considered a young girl. ”

Ji Yunshen was speechless and quickly smiled. “Alright, alright, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I’ll bring her back in two days if I’m not busy. I’ll let you have a good look at her. ”

“That’s more like it. I’m hanging up now. ”

Ji Yunshen heard the beeping sound coming from the other side and could not help but smile. If grandma knew that he had already registered with Qiao Man, he did not know how she would react.

…

Qiao man slept until seven o’clock and could not fall asleep anymore. Then, she went on Weibo, ready to pass the time of boredom.

She did not expect to see Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan’s names when she clicked on the trending search.

The trending search was: Second Young Master Fu slept with the daughter of the Lin family after drinking.

There were many photos below. They were of the two of them hugging each other as they entered the hotel. There were also photos of the two of them leaving the hotel the next day. Even though they were far away, one could still see that there were numerous hickeys on Lin Yan’s neck.

She logged out of Weibo and quickly dialed Lin Yan’s cell phone. She turned it off, then called Lin Nancheng. It was still off.

The Fu family was a warlord family, so their family style was stricter than the JI family’s. If this matter was exposed, the only solution was for Fu Qingshan to marry Lin Yan.

However, that person’s heart was completely focused on Ji Han, so how could he be willing to marry Yan ‘er?

Also, why would the media capture it It was very obvious that someone deliberately used this news to achieve a certain goal.

Lin Yan had a crush on Fu Qingshan for so many years, and his first reaction was definitely that Lin Yan had schemed against him in order to force him to marry her.

However, she understood Lin Yan, and she would not do that.

It was all because she had too many things to deal with recently, and she did not have time to care about Lin Yan. She did not know how she was going to get through this torturous period of time.

At home and outside, plus Fu Qingshan, everything was more than enough for her.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts and could not extricate herself, a few rhythmic knocks came from outside the door. Zhang Sao’s voice came through the door. “Man man, are you still sleeping? Someone is looking for you on the first floor’s landline! ”

Qiao man frowned slightly. subconsciously, she thought it was Ji Yunshen, so she quickly shuffled down the stairs to pick him up.

“Man man, I can’t contact you. I can only use this method. ”

It was actually Jiang Yingdong. After the first residence, she blocked all his contact details. She did not expect that he could actually find her here.

“Mr. Jiang is about to get married, yet he still contacted his ex-girlfriend so openly. Aren’t you afraid that Miss Xiao will think too much of it? ”

Jiang Yingdong seemed to be outside. From time to time, the sound of a car horn could be heard. “Man man, I am currently in the UK. I am on an international roaming call. I have added you again on Wechat. Please verify it. I have something very important to tell you. ”

“Mr. Jiang is currently worth a lot of money. You wouldn’t care about such a small phone bill, would you? If you have something to say, just say it! ”

Seeing that she was insistent, Jiang Yingdong could only say “I actually saw the Pearl Necklace that your grandfather gave you at the auction in England. Unfortunately, when I arrived, that necklace had already been bought by an arms dealer in Southeast Asia at a price of thirty million pounds. ”

It had been stolen in the hotel. She had not lost anything except that necklace.

Not many people knew that she owned this priceless necklace. Jiang Yingdong was one of them. She had also suspected that he had sent someone to steal the necklace.

However, thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not right. If he really did it, he would not have walked into the trap and told her the whereabouts of the necklace. Clearly, there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me about this matter. ”

Out of courtesy, Qiao man still thanked him.

Jiang Yingdong pursed his lips and took a deep breath. “Man man, if you want me to help you get back that necklace… ”

Before he could finish his words, Qiao man interrupted him with a smile. “No need. I will look for my husband to discuss this matter. I won’t trouble Mr. Jiang. ”

Qiao Man’s tone was polite and distant. It was as if the six-year relationship had been uprooted in her heart.

Jiang Yingdong raised his head slightly and looked at the world-famous foggy city. “Man man, I know that you’re saying this because you’re angry with me… ”

“I don’t want to anger you, Mr. Jiang. ”

Qiao man smiled gently. Her voice was always gentle and polite “I’m really a married man now. I’ve already received my marriage certificate. Oh right, when the wedding is held, I’ll send an invitation to Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang’s fianc��e. I want to get to know each other and let you guys witness my happiness. ”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

She curled up on the Leather Sofa. Countless images flashed through her mind, but she could no longer remember his voice, Smile, and appearance.

After a while, she walked upstairs, took out her phone, and called her psychology tutor.

“Yo, what kind of wind is this? It actually blew Miss Qiao’s phone over. ”

Her psychology tutor was called Xie Zhiqian. He seemed to be more than ten years older than her, and he was already a professor at such a young age.

Before she went to the United States to study, she had been taking psychology tutorials with him until she went to the United States. During that time, they had been in contact, but not that often.

This was the first time she had called him after returning to China.

“Of course, I need your help! ” Qiao man thought for a moment and said slowly “I remember that you have a friend who is a private detective. He can handle domestic and foreign work. I want him to help me check the necklace of the Duchess of Mengsha. ”

Xie Zhiqian repeated the words and said in the end, “what the hell? ”

“In short, tell him and he will understand. ”

The Duke of Mengsha was a man who had disappeared from British history. It was rumored that he had once personally made a pearl necklace for his wife and named it “the Duchess of Mengsha. “.
