Chapter 243

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

The military and political families were more traditional and conservative than the business world.

No one would be able to tolerate such a scandal.

Moreover, the Fu family and the Lin family had always been at loggerheads, and the people who were politically loyal were also different.

Everyone knew the reason for the marriage alliance.

If it weren’t for that accident, there probably wouldn’t have been any interaction at all.

Moreover, back then, Fu Zhanglin was sentenced to 12 years in prison for political misconduct. The most popular version was that Lin Yan’s grandfather, Lin Zhengchen, used political means and the power behind him to bring him down.

It was also because of this that the Fu family declined and the three-pronged military force in Lin city was no longer seen.

Who was Fu Zhanglin He had dominated the military, government, and business world for so many years. He could endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, but of course, he could also kill decisively.

Just like now, even if the Fu family’s power was not as great as the Lin family’s, they still insisted on a divorce between the two of them.

One could see how tough they were.

Qiao Man’s hair was not completely dry. The long black hair that reached her waist made her face look even paler. There was not a trace of blood, and she looked sickly Pale.

She had prepared a stomach full of words, but now she could not say a single word.

Her mind was in a mess, and she did not listen to her orders at all.

Sitting on the SOFA, mother Lin, Ou Qiao, could no longer control herself. She pushed her husband and daughter aside, stood up abruptly, and walked in Qiao Man’s direction.

Her footsteps were very fast, filled with anger. One could even imagine how she would make things difficult for Qiao man later.

Fu Zhanglin was not interested in the grudges between the two families at all. He bypassed Qiao man and walked out with his exquisite crutches.

Ou Qiao walked over in a few steps. Just as she was about to wave her hand, a big hand stopped her in midair.

Everyone held their breath and looked over, including Qiao man.

“Ji, what do you mean? ”

Ji Yunshen took a step forward and put some distance between them. He said in an extremely elegant tone, “Auntie, as far as I know, she only needs to take half of the responsibility for this matter. That slap in front of everyone just now was enough. ”

His meaning was very obvious. He had endured the slap on Qiao Man’s face just now because he felt that Qiao man had to bear half of the responsibility for the incident back then.

And that slap was enough to pay off Qiao man’s half of the responsibility.

“So, young master JI is complaining about his ‘ex-wife’ ? ”

It was not until he was sure that Ou Qiao had calmed down that Ji Yunshen released his grip on her arm. The corners of his lips were like a spring breeze, but there was no warmth at all. “To be precise, he is about to become ‘ex-wife’ . ”

Ou Qiao looked up in shock. In other words, the two of them had not gone through the divorce procedures?

Then, who was the one who spread the news about the overwhelming divorce between the two of them?

She believed that if JI Yunshen did not want others to know about it, they would definitely not know about it.

Moreover, it had caused a storm in the city and everyone knew about it.

And that slap just now could not help but make her heart skip a beat.

If Qiao man was still his wife, then slapping her in the face was also slapping his face?

Would he endure it just to balance the anger of all parties?

Or… …

Was He looking for an outlet for Qiao Man’s repentance To let her lower her defenses and no longer live in fear and repentance?

With this thought, it made sense that Fu Qingshan did not let Qiao man in.

That was because it was not fu Qingshan’s intention, but Ji Yunshen’s.

He actually did not want Qiao man to face all of this, but he knew that she had to face it.

Thinking of this, Ou Qiao did not dare to think anymore.

Because these things might not be as simple as she thought.

“Auntie, you are a smart person. You always knew that there was a backup video of the accident outside. You also knew that sooner or later, someone would detonate this bomb. Even if you were lucky today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after? ”

“Man man did what she had to do, and she’s always trying to make up for it. You can’t imagine what she sacrificed for Lin Yan’s backup video. Of course, no matter what she sacrificed, it won’t change the potential danger of this video being exposed. ”

Ou Qiao bit her lip. Because of what he said, her entire body trembled.

It wasn’t because she was angry, but because she felt sorry for Yan ‘er.

She was only twenty-three years old. Her life hadn’t even begun, but it was already over.

If only she could bear all of this.

Lin Yan sat on the Sofa with her head lowered. Her hands that were placed on her legs were tightly clasped together. She seemed to have calmed down for a long time before she softly said to Lin Minghan, who was beside her, “Dad, you, brother, and mom can go back first. I’ll handle the rest myself. ”

Lin Nancheng stood beside the SOFA and did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

The cigarette between his fingers burned to the end. He narrowed his eyes and threw it on the ground to stamp it out. He walked to the other side of the Sofa in a few steps and looked at Fu Qingshan, who was sitting on it. No one knew what he was thinking about.

“Fu Qingshan, you and I have been brothers for many years. Now, let me ask you seriously, do you want to divorce Yan ‘er or not? ”

Even if that video and all the photos had been deleted, it was already known by everyone. Everyone knew that Fu Qingshan’s wife had been touched by someone else.

As a man, he could more or less understand the feeling of his own woman being touched by another man.

But after so many years, even if he had no feelings for Yan ‘er, there should be some love between husband and wife.

Just now, he had told Fu Zhanglin that he didn’t want a divorce, but Fu Zhanglin had insisted that he get a divorce. He understood even better the feeling of being controlled by someone and led by the nose.

Because he had a deeper understanding than him.

Moreover, a divorce at this time was equivalent to admitting everything in the video.

Yan ‘er would have a hard time finding a boyfriend in the future, let alone getting married. If he said that he didn’t want a divorce, he would try to get Fu Zhanglin to let him go, even if he lost his position and had no future.

Fu Qingshan crossed his legs and didn’t speak. There was almost no emotion on his face.

Lin Nancheng lost his patience. He grabbed his collar and said slowly, “Fu Qingshan, speak. ”

“I’ve said it before. I don’t want to be anyone’s puppet or chess piece, and I don’t want to be manipulated by anyone. I didn’t have a choice when I got married, but unless I want to get a divorce, no one will let me get a divorce. ”

Putting aside whether he loved her or not, his wife was in such a big trouble. It was because he was incompetent and did not protect her well.

At this time, what he wanted to do was to find the man from back then and shoot him with a gun. Only then would he be able to calm the raging anger in his heart.

“Alright, your words are enough. Dad, mom, let’s go. ”

No matter what was said or done, the Lin family was in the wrong. The Fu family had asked for a divorce as part of their duty, and not separating was part of their relationship. The only thing they could do was accept.

Or rather, other than accepting, they could only accept.

Ou Qiao and Lin minghan felt a little comforted when they heard Fu Qingshan’s reply. Fortunately, he didn’t push Yan ‘er out at this moment.

They took a deep look at Lin Yan, who was sitting quietly on the Sofa, before reluctantly leaving Qingshan villa.

The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared in the rain, leaving only Ji Yunshen, Qiao man, Fu Qingshan, and Lin Yan in the living room.

At this time, no amount of consolation could change the fact that it had already happened. All Qiao man could do was to accompany her silently. Obviously, from the time of the accident until now, Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan had been dealing with the two families, as well as the overwhelming media noise outside They had not sat down to talk about this matter properly.

Since she had already seen Yan ‘er, and knew that she was fine, there was no need to stay any longer.

“Yan ‘er, I only asked for three hours of leave from the manager. I have to rush over now. If there’s anything, give me a call. I’m always here. ”

Lin Yan raised her eyes and looked over, nodding her head gently. “Hurry up and go. Don’t worry about me. Man Man, you know that I’m fine. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

Lin Yan’s personality seemed to be quiet and gentle, but in fact, she was stronger and more stubborn than anyone else.

Back then, she had not been able to defeat her, so it was even more impossible for her to defeat her now.

Qiao man gave a forlorn smile and walked around the man beside her, preparing to walk out of the Green Mountain villa.

As soon as she lifted her feet, she heard Lin Yan say to the man next to her, “young master JI, it’s very late. I’m worried about man man alone. Can I trouble you to send her to the place she wants to go? ”

Some things, once there was a so-called estrangement.

No one would take the initiative again, not to mention that she had already taken the initiative just now.

And he seemed to dislike her like that.

Since she had used the most unbearable method of suicide to get a divorce, he had expected that this man would completely dislike her.

However, this was indeed quite good. It was clean and clear, and there would be no more entanglements or entanglements.

From then on, they would be strangers and each other would be safe and sound. It was really quite good.

Qiao man was just about to say that there was no need when she heard the man beside her say in a light and airy voice, “I got it. I’ll send her off. ”

Qiao man did not want to let Yan ‘er worry too much. She smiled at him and said, “then I’ll have to trouble you. ”

The man did not say anything. Instead, he lifted his feet and walked out of the villa. He did not even glance at her from the corner of his eyes.

Qiao man rubbed her nose awkwardly. She followed behind the man’s tall and straight back and walked out.

The sleet outside had simply turned into a heavy rain, pouring down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

Qiao man tightened her grip. She took the umbrella handed over by the bodyguard at the door and hurriedly walked out of the villa’s main entrance.

The man strode in front with his vigorous and powerful legs. The wind and rain howled, but he seemed to be walking under the bright moon and starry sky. He was calm and unhurried, calm and unruffled.

When he arrived at the villa’s carved main entrance, he opened the car door and sat on it. He looked at the girl who was approaching bit by bit and walked in the opposite direction. He did not have the intention of hitching a ride with him.

The umbrella in her hand was deformed by the wind. The huge raindrops fell on her body densely. It was cold and painful.

He took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket and lit it up. He took a puff and then lowered the car window. He whistled at the girl who was about to walk past him.

“Get in the car. ”

Qiao man turned around. A perfect smile appeared on her exquisite face. “I won’t trouble Mr. Ji. I’ll think of a way to go to the places I want to go. ”

Ji Yunshen narrowed his eyes and looked at her through the thin layer of smoke. “Are you sure? ”

In such a heavy rain, even if she were to drive, it would take a long time to reach mansion number one, let alone call for a car or think of a solution.

Qiao man bit her lip and looked at the calm and composed Qiao man and herself, who were in a sorry state. She took a deep breath and opened the door of the front passenger seat to get in.

Sometimes, the helplessness that life gave you was not something that you could reject just because you wanted to.

For example, at this moment, at this second, it was unavoidable.

The rain was very heavy, and the road was wet and slippery. The speed of the man’s car was very slow, getting closer and closer to the scheduled time. Qiao man was so anxious that her toes, which were placed in her high heels, curled up.

After thinking for a while, she still opened her mouth, “that… can I trouble you to drive faster? I might be late. ”

“In such a heavy rain, the visibility is only ten meters. If you drive fast, it’s very easy to get into a car accident. ”

Qiao Man’s hands were anxiously clasped together. She made an ‘oh’ sound and did not say anything else.

After about ten minutes, the phone in her bag vibrated. She took it out, and sure enough, it was the general manager of mansion number one calling.

She bit her lip, stared at the screen for a few seconds, and then swiped the answer button “Qiao Man, what’s wrong with you? You said three hours, but now it’s almost three and a half hours. Although I think you’re pretty and good at selling alcohol, you can’t take advantage of my trust and make me special! ”

Qiao man held the phone tightly with one hand and gently covered the receiver with the other. She leaned against the car door and hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. ”

It was better to apologize sincerely than to explain the heavy rain or not being able to get a taxi.

At work, sometimes, no matter how good your ability was, the higher-ups only saw the results and never the difficulty of the process.

Moreover, in the adult world, there weren’t so many pretentious reasons.

“Alright, hurry up and come over. There will be heavy guests coming later, I’ll leave the private room for you. ”

“okay, I got it. Thank you, general manager. ”

The general manager grunted and hung up the phone.

The second Qiao man ended the phone call, she clearly let out a sigh of relief.

The man in the driver’s seat kept his eyes on the road ahead. He didn’t speak or move. It could be said that he didn’t have any emotions.

It was very indifferent and quiet.

Qiao man did not take the initiative to talk to him. Instead, she turned her head to look out the window at the fast-moving night scene.

Half an hour later, the car steadily stopped at the parking lot in front of mansion number one.

Although the rain was a little less, there was still some distance from the door. She could even imagine the bone-chilling feeling of the rain hitting her body.

She thanked him and was about to pull the car door open, but was interrupted by the man in a soft voice. “Wait a moment, I’ll make a call and then drive the car to the underground garage. That way, I won’t have to get caught in the rain. ”

“I’m fine. ”

Without thinking, Qiao man pulled the car door open and got out of the car. She had just taken two steps when she was splashed with water by a passing car. Even through the windshield, she could see the embarrassment and anger she was hiding.

However, it was only for an instant before she hurriedly walked towards mansion number one. Right now, the most important thing to her was money.

Everything else was just a fleeting cloud.

…

Qiao man went to the changing room to change her uniform. She quickly went to the general manager and apologized sincerely once more.

The general manager’s age was similar to Qiao Mingzhang’s age. He was basically the same age as her father, so he took extra care of the young ladies who sold alcohol in Mansion No. 1. However, comparatively speaking, he took better care of her.

“Just don’t do it again next time. Pack up and go to room 58. ”
