Chapter 138

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

The sunlight outside was very bright. Through the window, it shone on Qin Yulan’s wrinkled face, but it didn’t make her face turn red.

Her mother’s fate wasn’t good. or rather, from the moment she met Qiao Mingzhang, the gears of her fate had undergone a huge change.

Love, greed, and hatred made her become the most hated appearance for men.

But even then, she had always been optimistic with a smile. In her impression, she didn’t seem to have seen her cry.

Not even once.

How could such a strong person become unrecognizable because of a man?

She had never understood it before, until she completely stopped suppressing her feelings for Ji Yunshen. Only then did she realize that love could really make a person unrecognizable.

After saying so many words, she finally felt her mouth and tongue dry up before she ended.

She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already one o’clock in the afternoon.

She took another deep look at Qin Yulan who was lying on the bed before she reluctantly left.

After she left, she dialed Gu Jinyu’s phone number. After two beeps, the call was picked up.

“Why is lady Qiao so free? Did you remember to call me? ”

Gu Jinyu seemed to be in a beauty salon. Qiao man heard her ask the technician for rose essential oil.

Gu Jinyu was around the same age, but Gu Jinyu looked much younger than her mother. In the end, she didn’t fall in love so deeply and knew how to withdraw in time. She heard that she had a high-ranking official boyfriend who was a few years younger than her, and her life was comfortable and comfortable.

“return the money. ” Qiao man didn’t say much nonsense. Her tone was indifferent and emotionless. “plus interest. ”

“Oh, about that, we have to meet and talk about it. How about this… ” Gu Jinyu paused and asked the technician when it was over. Then, she said, “I’m at the Rose Coast now. Come over, we’ll meet and talk. ”

Qiao man nodded and cut off the communication. She hailed a car and headed straight for the Rose Coast.

…

Qiao man paid to get off the car. The Sea breeze blew against her face. This landmark building in forest city, which was built by the sea, was even more dazzling and charming in this season.

The rose shore, as the name implied, was surrounded by large patches of fiery red roses.

The fragrance of flowers and tender leaves mixed with the gentle and fresh sea breeze brewed in the air and drifted around, making everyone who smelled it feel refreshed and relaxed.

They took the elevator to the restaurant on the 28th floor. From Afar, they could see Gu Jinyu sitting by the window. Dressed in a black dress, she looked even more profound and charming under the accumulation of time.

Qiao man walked closer in her high heels and calmly sat down opposite Gu Jinyu. Then, she took out a written check from her bag and pushed it over.

“Ms. Gu, not a single cent is missing, including the principal and interest. ”

Gu Jinyu picked up the check and glanced at it. She lazily leaned against the back of the dining chair and smiled. “Don’t you want to know why I asked you to come here? ”

“I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with you, so I won’t reminisce about the past. ”

Qiao Man’s gentle face had a smile on it. She took out a few red notes from her wallet. “thank you for your leniency. Take this afternoon tea as my treat. ”

After saying that, she stood up. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she heard Gu Jinyu say, “wait a minute. ”

Qiao man glanced at her and raised her eyebrows, as if she was asking if there was anything else.

“sit down, I still have something to say. ”

Gu Jinyu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box in front of her, lit it up, and started smoking. “Want One? ”

Qiao man shook her head, already a little impatient. “I quit. If you have something to say, just say it! ”

Ever since she was sensible, her mother had been fighting with this woman. They had fought for so many years, but in the end, they had lost miserably.

Her mother seemed to be very afraid of her, perhaps because of the trauma she had left behind since she was young. At this moment, a sense of unease actually emerged from the bottom of her heart.

“Take a look at these. ” Gu Jinyu took a puff of her cigarette, took out an envelope from her bag, and pushed it over. “I think that after you look at them, you’ll also find them quite interesting. ”

Qiao man opened the envelope, and just as she had imagined, there was a stack of photos inside.

In the photos, there was a man and a woman. The man’s face was a little blurry, but she was very sure that she did not know him. As for the woman, wasn’t it a little too narrow of a road for enemies? It was actually Ji Han.

“Why are you showing me these photos? ” Qiao man did not understand what Gu Jinyu meant. “Also, I’m not familiar with Ji Han. ”

“Oh, it seems that you’re really not interested in her. Alright then! ”

After saying that, Gu Jinyu leaned over as if she wanted to take back those photos. Qiao man hesitated for a moment before putting the photos into her bag.

“Tell me, what do you want to say? ”

She couldn’t help it, or she didn’t want to.

She would subconsciously pay attention to the woman in his heart.

“She’s my big brother’s child. When she was young, she got lost and entered an orphanage. Later, she was adopted by the JI family and was lost for so many years. ”

Qiao man had already heard his conversation with Ji Han when she was at the hospital. She was not surprised by this result.

“So? ” What did this have to do with her?

“Yes, I heard from Dongfeng that he and Ji Han are on very good terms. They seem to be different from ordinary siblings… ”

Qiao man was not sure what Gu Jinyu knew, but she ordered herself to be very calm. “Ms. Gu, you came to my place to test the truth. It’s better to find Ji Han to test the truth. After all, I’m not the person involved. ”

“How should I put it? ” Gu Jinyu’s gaze looked over through the thin smoke. It was very deep. “Qin Yulan is a very talented woman. The last thing she knows is to pretend to be crazy and act dumb. I didn’t expect her daughter to be so good at pretending to be crazy and act dumb. ”

After saying that, Gu Jinyu put out the cigarette and stood up. “Qiao Man, I was kind enough to help you, but I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful… But don’t worry, you’ll come to me voluntarily soon. ”

“I hope so. ” Qiao man nodded. “I hope that one day will come. ”

The Gu family’s roots were intertwined, especially Gu Jinyu and her brother, Gu Feng. Their relationship was shallow, and it was no secret that they once had a bad relationship in Lin city.

Ji Han had lived in the JI family for so many years, and the JI family would not mistreat her even if they acknowledged her as their ancestor.

Gu Jinyu was probably afraid that Gu Feng would counterattack, and she would be caught off guard. She wanted to use her hands to pull Ji Han into the mire.

She also hoped that she could tie Ji Yunshen’s heart and trample Ji Han under her feet.

However… This was not what she cared about …

What she was most curious about was the relationship between Ji Han and the man in the photo.

From their behavior, it seemed that they were very close, like a couple.

But didn’t she date Ji Yunshen for ten years How could she be so close to a man other than him?

…

It was raining again. It seemed that it had been raining every day in Lin city since spring.

Looking at the raindrops falling on the glass, her mood also became wet.

She took out her phone from her bag and played with it for a while before dialing Ji Yunshen’s number.

Ji Yunshen had just finished a social event. It was late at night in the United States. He lay in bed and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Just as he was about to get up to take a shower, he heard the sound of his phone vibrating.

He saw the familiar number and immediately swiped the answer button. A girl’s soft and clear voice came from the other end of the phone. “You’re not asleep yet? ”

“I was just about to go to sleep. ” Ji Yunshen rubbed the space between his brows. “What are you doing? ”

“I just returned from the lunatic asylum to the villa. I want to discuss something with you. ”

“Yes! ” Ji Yunshen’s voice was magnetic and Hoarse after drinking. It sounded particularly pleasant. “What is it? ”

“I want to empty a room in the Blue Mountain Villa and bring my mother over. ”

Although the environment in the lunatic asylum was not bad, she was too far away from there and could not accompany her mother for long. However, it would be different if she was picked up at home. She could talk to her mother anytime and anywhere.

“Alright, I will arrange it. ”

Ji Yunshen tugged at his tie. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard the little girl across him say anxiously, “Hai, when will you be back? ”

He was stunned for a moment, and his voice became gentler. “Did you miss me? ”

Qiao man did not say anything, as if she was waiting for his reply.

“Half a month, about half a month. ”

Qiao man said, “Oh, I got it. I’m hanging up. ”

“wait… ”

Ji Yunshen heard that she was not in a good mood, so he suggested, “do you want to come over? Even though I don’t have much time to accompany you during the day, it’s your time at night. ”

“I don’t want to go. You’re so bored, and all you do is work. If I go there, wouldn’t it be even more boring? ”

Ji Yunshen smiled, and his tone was quite doting. “after the business trip here, there might be a week of vacation, and I still want to take you directly to Milan, or to Paris to look at wedding dresses and wedding rings… Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it in the future. ”

“Okay! ”

Qiao man gritted her teeth and answered, then directly hung up the phone, and her mood seemed to be even more depressed than before.

Just as she was about to put her phone back into her bag, she heard a text notification sound. The sender was Ji Yunshen.

“I’ve asked Secretary Yang to book a flight for you at five in the afternoon. Come over. ”

The corners of Qiao Man’s lips could not help but curve up. Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be filled with starlight. “Say something romantic. I’ll think about it. ”

After sending the notification successfully, three seconds later, the man replied, “I really want to “love” you. ”

Qiao man’s face instantly turned red. She replied with three words, “shameless. ”

…

Secretary Yang arrived at the Blue Mountain Villa at 3:30 pm. Qiao man had just packed her luggage and went downstairs when she saw him.

“Miss Qiao, the president asked me to pick you up. ”

Qiao man let him take the suitcase from her hand and heard him say, “As for your mother’s matter, it will be settled tomorrow morning and she will return to the villa at noon. The medical staff hired are all the top and second-best brain specialists in Lin city. They will live with your mother in the side-room Villa at the back and will be under 24-hour supervision. ”

“Okay, I’ll have to trouble you. ”

Qiao man only reacted after getting into the Gray Bentley. “This car… ”

“president JI brought another one that’s exactly the same. The one from last time has already been scrapped. ”

Qiao man made an ‘oh’ sound. She thought for a moment and asked, “Secretary Yang, do you know what happened to the child from last time… Ji Yunshen? ”

“I think he was sentenced to ten years, ” Secretary Yang said as he drove. “with lawyer Shen around, everything will not be a problem. ”

In fact, she had tried to visit the child two or three times, but she was blocked every time.

Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex, but seeing such a big child always made her think of her dead brother, Qiao Jin. If he was still alive, he should be about the same age as that child.

…

Before boarding the plane, Ji Yunshen sent another message. “after boarding the plane, pay attention to rest and be careful of low blood sugar. ”

She replied that she understood and turned off the phone.

The second the screen went dark, she realized that it was already early in the morning. Was He still awake?

The ten-hour flight was equivalent to a great ordeal for someone like her who had severe hypoglycemia.

The moment the plane landed, the joy of seeing him immediately replaced the fatigue, but they had only parted yesterday morning!

This… … was probably the legendary feeling of being in love ? ?

It was an experience that Jiang Yingdong had never experienced before.

When they got off the plane, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon in the United States. Ji Yunshen said that he could not come for an engagement and sent a driver over.

She was a little disappointed, but when he called her in the middle of the meeting, she was still very unhappy and answered with an ‘mmm’ .

“Why are you so disappointed that I didn’t come to pick you up? ”

Before hanging up, Ji Yunshen suddenly said this.

Qiao man cut off the communication without thinking and immediately sent him a text message. “I’m so hungry that my blood sugar is low. It really has nothing to do with Mr. Ji. ”

After waiting for a long time and seeing no reply from him, she put her phone away.

In front of him was a two-minute traffic light junction. When the driver stepped on the brake, his phone on the dashboard rang.

He quickly swiped the answer button and said respectfully, “CEO JI… ”
