The visiting time was very short, only twenty minutes. When the prison guard walked in from outside and reminded Qiao man and Lin Yan that the visiting time was up, both of their eyes turned red at the same time.
“Yan ‘er, it’s been a few years. It’s not too late for these few days. I’ll take good care of Xin Qiao. ”
Lin Yan nodded. Her pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars were stained with traces of tears. “Yes, I understand, man man. It’s good to have you, really… It’s good to have you. ”
Qiao man’s exquisite little face revealed a bright and charming smile. She then lowered her head and gently stroked Xin Qiao’s soft hair with her chin. Her pair of jade-like hands held Xin Qiao’s pair of small hands, which were separated by the middle of the window She waved at Lin Yan who was inside, and then said to Xin Qiao in a soft voice, “Xin Qiao, say goodbye to Auntie. ”
“Goodbye, Auntie. ”
“Goodbye, Xin Qiao. ”
Qiao man took a deep look at Lin Yan who was inside. She smiled gently again before carrying Xin Qiao out of the meeting room.
Lin Yan sat there in a daze, not moving for a long time. When a prison guard came over, she slowly stood up and reluctantly left the meeting room.
After Qiao man carried Xin Qiao out of the dark prison, she put her on the ground and held her hand as they walked out of the high wall.
“Mom, why did Auntie cry when she saw me just now? ”
Xin Qiao’s hand was still holding the little yellow duck doll. Because Qiao man was too tall, she had to raise her head to see her face clearly. “She… doesn’t like me? ”
“No, Xin Qiao, why wouldn’t Auntie like you? ”
Qiao man reached out her hand that was hanging by her side and rubbed Xin Qiao’s dark hair “She just stayed inside for a long time and felt very bored, so mom and Xin Qiao went to see her. She felt very happy and cried. Do you know, Xin Qiao, sometimes people don’t cry because they’re sad, but they may cry because they’re happy. ”
Xin Qiao blinked her starry eyes. “Isn’t that just like the first time I saw mom? Because I was too happy, I kept crying. ”
“Yeah, that’s more or less what I meant. ”
“Mom, when auntie comes out, I’ll give Auntie the Mousse cake that Auntie Sun made for me and share it with her. That way, she won’t cry anymore. ”
Qiao man’s face was filled with a gentle smile. “Yeah, our Xin Qiao is the most obedient. ”
Xin Qiao’s small face was full of smiles, like the Brightest Sun. Although she had not grown up, she had a beautiful face, and it was definitely the kind of beautiful face that people would never forget.
Early in the morning, a prison guard opened the heavy iron door at the prison entrance. Qiao man carried Xin Qiao and walked through the small iron door that was open in the middle of the iron door. She did not forget to thank the prison guard at the door.
It was just spring in Lin city, and it was still warm and cold. Qiao man’s car was parked in front of the parking lot of the prison’s iron door, about twenty meters away from where she was standing.
Xin Qiao loved to look beautiful. Before she went out this morning, she had actually put on a white woolen coat for her. However, Xin Qiao felt that it did not look good with the dress she was wearing, so she insisted on not wearing it. It was close to the scheduled visiting time She did not have the time to change her clothes at all. She could only let her wear a slightly thin pink bubble skirt to come here.
She did not feel too much mountain wind in the courtyard of the prison just now. Now that she was outside the High Wall, the mountain wind came from God knows where. She was afraid that it would freeze Xin Qiao, so she hugged Xin Qiao tightly and walked quickly to the parking lot. She had just taken two steps when.. She was blocked by a group of bodyguards in black.
When she had just stepped out of the Iron Gate, she glanced over and thought that these bodyguards were here to pick her up. She did not expect them to be looking for her.
“Miss Qiao, Mr. Ji has invited you to his villa. ”
Qiao man hugged Xin Qiao even tighter. Her eyes were filled with wariness and she stepped back slightly. She looked at the tall bodyguards in front of her vigilantly. “I’m sorry. I’ll have to trouble you to tell Mr. Ji that I don’t really want to be a guest at his villa. Thank you. ”
After saying that, Qiao Man Hugged Xin Qiao and moved a few steps to the side, preparing to go around them.
However, the moment she took a step, she was blocked by the tall and sturdy bodyguards. “Miss Qiao, Mr. Ji said that if you don’t want to go, he will have ten thousand ways for you to go. ”
In short, in short, she had no choice?
Qiao man took a deep breath, a faint smile still hanging on her face. “Okay, I will drive myself over, I won’t trouble you. ”
“Miss Qiao, someone will drive your car over, you just need to get in the car. ”
Just as the bodyguard finished speaking, a black business car without a license plate steadily stopped beside her. “Miss Qiao, please get in the car. ”
Xin Qiao hugged Qiao Man’s neck tightly, her face buried in it as well. Her whole body was trembling in fear of the sudden appearance of these fierce-looking tall and burly bodyguards.
Qiao man’s hands kept comforting her from behind. In the end, she did not say anything else and got into the car.
The surrounding mountain scenery was getting further and further away. In her eyes, there was only the new green that filled the mountains and plains. She thought that spring was really a beautiful season.
Its Green gave people hope and also gave them a new life.
…
About half an hour later, the black business car steadily stopped at the entrance of the Blue Mountain Villa.
The five to six meter tall black carved gate slowly opened. The black business car then slowly slid into the courtyard of the villa.
The appearance of the Blue Mountain Villa was similar to when she left five years ago. In addition to the main villa and the side-room Villa at the back, there was also a villa with a glass roof.
The Blue Mountain Villa was known as the most beautiful building in forest city. It cost hundreds of millions of yuan and was a luxury landscape building in forest city that was difficult to replicate.
She had always thought that Ji Yunshen had a good eye. She could tell from this villa with a glass roof.
It was a building that would sink into it at a glance. The beautiful appearance, the luxurious decorations, and the glass roof made it look like a house from a fairy tale.
She remembered that five years ago, when they were at the glass roof hotel near the coastal road, he had said that if she liked it, he could build a villa with a glass roof like this for her, and then lay on the bed side by side She looked at the stars and the Moon in the night sky.
Time flew by, and more than a thousand days and nights quietly slipped by. The actions and expressions when he said that were still deeply engraved in her heart.
It was probably because the sun was too warm that day, and he was wearing the white shirt and black pants that she liked very much. The moment he promised her, she really felt that the whole world was pink.
Memories flooded in, and she did not even have time to react.
After calming down for a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and carried Xin Qiao out of the parked commercial car. She tacitly walked in the direction of the main villa.
She had only taken a few steps with Xin Qiao in her arms when she heard the bodyguard beside her say, “Miss Qiao, Mr. Ji Asked you to wait for him in this villa. ”
The bodyguard pointed at the villa with the glass curtain. His movements were the same as his, well-trained and neat.
Qiao man’s footsteps paused for a few seconds before she twisted her toes and walked towards the villa with the glass curtain.
One step, two steps, three steps. It was clearly a very close distance, but she felt as if she had passed through five years. It was so long that her breathing began to become erratic.
When she reached the door of the villa with the glass curtain, she put down Xin Qiao. Just as she was about to bend down to change Xin Qiao’s slippers, Xin Qiao was picked up by the bodyguard beside her.
“Miss Qiao, Mr. Ji said that he will help you take good care of Miss Xin Qiao. Please wait for him here in peace. ”
Qiao man’s expression changed slightly, but she did not panic. “It’s the same for me and the child to wait for him here. Please return my child to me. ”
As she spoke, Qiao man wanted to carry Xin Qiao back from the bodyguard’s arms, but the bodyguard nimbly dodged her.
“I’m sorry, Miss Qiao. I only listen to Mr. Ji’s orders and arrangements. He told me so, and I can only carry out his orders. ”
As Xin Qiao was in the arms of a stranger, she kept wriggling and struggling. She even cried out for her mother in a sharp voice.
Qiao man wanted to go forward and hug her, but she was stopped by the other two bodyguards. “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao, you can’t leave this villa for the time being. ”
So, he had already prepared to put her and Xin Qiao under house arrest here, and then forcefully separate them from each other?
Qiao man looked at the back of the bodyguard who was hugging Xin Qiao, and no matter how good her mood was, it was broken. She could not understand Ji Yunshen’s thoughts, not even the slightest bit. She did not even know what he would do to Xin Qiao or to her.
They had agreed early on that they would not interfere in each other’s business and that they would be strangers if they met again. What did he mean by that?
Qiao man knew that no matter how hard she tried to compete with the two bodyguards at the door, it would be a waste of effort.
Therefore, she almost immediately turned around and took out her phone from her handbag, ready to dial Ji Yunshen’s number.
When her fingers were about to finish typing the familiar number on the screen, she paused for a moment and then asked in her usual soft voice, “what is Ji Yunshen’s current phone number? ”
The next second after she finished asking, the bodyguard behind her answered quickly, “Mr. Ji said it’s the same number, you know it. ”
She nodded after listening, then her fingers pressed the last number on the touch screen and pressed the green call button. Soon, the call was answered, and when she heard the man’s deep and somewhat sexy voice.. She did not know why her heart shrank violently, probably because of her habitual fear and fear of him.
“Ji Yunshen, you locked me in your villa, and then asked someone to separate me from Xin Qiao. What do you mean by that? ”
Ji Yunshen seemed to be in a military meeting. He could hear the occasional background noise coming from the other end. It was about the recent increase in efforts to crack down on Mafia businesses.
He was fiddling with an exquisite pen in his hand. After hearing her words, he casually raised his hand. “The meeting will be suspended for a few minutes. All of you can go out for a while. ”
After hearing Ji Yunshen’s words, the people sitting at the conference table did not even dare to breathe loudly. They walked out of the conference room one after another.
It was not until the last person walked out and closed the door of the conference room that he said in a magnetic, low and hoarse voice, “Qiao Man, what should we do? I feel that I’ve lost out. You know that I’ve never done business at a loss. ”
“So, Mr. Ji, are you planning to settle the score after the autumn? Just because I’m living a better life than you, with a husband and a daughter? ”
Ji Yunshen stood up from the swivel chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the meeting room with a pair of vigorous and strong long legs. His voice seemed to be suddenly penetrated by the sunlight outside the window, bringing with it strands of scorching heat There was also a hint of unnoticeable solemnity. “that’s probably what I mean. ”
Qiao man closed her eyes, and her voice had lost its warmth. “Ji Yunshen, we had an agreement back then. You have no reason and no right to do so! ”
“That’s just your opinion. I never said that I wouldn’t settle the score later. ”
Ji Yunshen’s eyes and brows were covered by the large shadow of the short and broken hair on his forehead. His expression and emotions could not be seen clearly at all “moreover… I also never said that you are better off than me. I won’t be jealous. This is probably the bad nature of both men and women who break up. Don’t tell me that you don’t have it. ”
So, he was now openly taking revenge He wanted to uproot all the grudges and grudges that he had put aside in the past?
“Yes, I didn’t. If you were living a better life than me and your family life was happy, I definitely wouldn’t be jealous, because you’re already an irrelevant passerby. Whether you’re living a good life or not, it has nothing to do with me. ”
“then… What about Tian Tian? ” Ji Yunshen’s big hand rested on the window pane as if he was trying his best to endure his temper. “She’s also an irrelevant passerby to you? ”
Qiao Man’s hand that was holding the phone suddenly tightened. She used so much strength that it almost turned white. Then, it took her a long time to find her voice. “Yes, to me, she’s also an irrelevant passerby. ”
This sentence carried a weight of thousands of kilograms, and it fell on Ji Yunshen’s heart. The memories of the past were suddenly surrounded by darkness, and he could no longer find any exit.
He turned around and kicked the swivel chair behind him, so hard that the swivel chair made an earth-shattering sound on the ground.
“okay, since we are irrelevant passersby, then we will follow the passerby’s method. ”
He stretched out his hand and tugged at his tie, his action was extremely lazy and undisciplined. “and Qiao Man, in this life, only I can dump women, no woman can dump me. ”
After Ji Yunshen finished speaking, he cut off the phone communication.
Qiao man listened to the beeping sound from the other end of the radio. She was stunned for a few seconds. She probably did not think that he would continue to pester her. She thought that at most, he could not bear to see her living a better life than him, but from the looks of it now.. It was not because he could not bear to see her living a better life than him that he had imprisoned her here. Instead, he was prepared to continue pestering her in the same way that a man and a woman would continue to pester each other.
Her head, which was clearly very clear a second ago, started to hurt in this second. Moreover, the pain was so intense that it was unbearable.
She covered her head with her hands and slowly squatted down. Her mind was filled with the low-pitched and deep-rooted words he had just said.
She had no choice but to dial Meng Dongxing’s phone number. After a few beeps, she heard Meng Dongxing’s low and tired voice “I’m sorry, man man. There are some problems with the company’s business. I may be a few days late before I can fly back to Lin city to accompany you and Xin Qiao… ”
Before Meng Dongxing could finish his words, a soft woman’s voice was heard “Director Meng, all the businesses in forest city are in a state of paralysis. Many people either choose to break the contract or are lured away by the low price offered by the Mingyuan Group. The most accurate situation is that our branch in forest city no longer has any business dealings. In this situation, we won’t be able to last more than a month. All our years of hard work in forest city will be in vain. ”
Meng Dongxing was not the only one who heard these words clearly. Even Qiao Man, who was far away in Chongyang, could hear them clearly.
Mingyuan Group?
So Ji Yunshen did not just lay his hands on her, he even laid his hands on Meng Dongxing?
“What’s going on? Did Mingyuan group bully you in the business world? ”
Meng Dongxing’s focus had been overseas all these years. He could be said to be uncompetitive in forest city, not to mention that he was competing with Mingyuan Group, a business tycoon’s leading enterprise.
“You don’t have to worry about this. But you, why did you call me? Ji Yunshen didn’t make things difficult for you, did he? ”
Qiao man actually wanted to tell him about her current situation in the country. After all, Xin Qiao did not have much time left for a bone marrow transplant. But when she thought about how he was also struggling, she did not continue, “no, I’m fine. ”
“okay, that’s good. Take care of yourself. ”
Qiao man nodded after listening. “Okay, you too. ”
After cutting off the phone call, Qiao man stretched out her slender arms and hugged herself.
The floor was obviously warm in the room, but she felt cold, very cold, very cold.
…
There was only one bedroom on the second floor of the entire glass-roofed Villa.
The room was very large, and there was also a king-size bed. The style of the decoration was similar to the style of the main villa. It was simple and lively, and it also carried the deep temperament of his body. In short, it looked very lively, not lifeless and monotonous.
After she entered the room, she lifted the quilt and got on the bed.
It was one or two o’clock in the afternoon. The Sun shone through the gaps of the tall trees and fell on the top of the glass curtain, forming a large patch of mottled shadows.
Occasionally, the wind blew past and blew the leaves of the trees. The sunlight that had escaped turned into flickering beats.
Perhaps it was because she had not been sleeping well recently, and she had been busy with Xin Qiao’s matters. She lay there for a while, and her eyes began to fight. Then, she quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was woken up by the sound of a car engine.
She opened her eyes in the darkness and looked around her first. Only when she felt that she had adapted to the darkness did she lift the blanket and walk to the French window.
Ji Yunshen had already gotten out of the cigarette-gray Bentley. He was not in a hurry to enter the villa. Instead, he took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket. Then, with one hand protecting the wind and the other pressing on the lighter, he lit up a cigarette.
The Pale green smoke slowly rose and soon disappeared in the night wind.
She did not notice the time at first. She thought it was just the beginning of the night. Seeing that the man outside was smoking leisurely, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at the clock on the wall.
The hour hand had already pointed to 0:01 midnight. She had been sleeping since it was close to noon?
The man outside looked up, caught off guard. His gaze fell on the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor and met her gaze for a few seconds. In the end, it was she who first moved her gaze away and stretched out her hand to pull the floor-to-ceiling curtains shut.
Her heart was beating very fast, especially when his figure was somewhat blurred by the colorful lights and there was some depth to the story behind it. Her heart was beating even faster.
The villa was very quiet. It was so quiet that one could clearly hear the sound of the man pressing the password and the steady sound of footsteps when he went upstairs.
Qiao man had already reached out to turn on the wall lamp by the bedside. She then sat by the bedside and quietly waited for him to walk in.
A second or two seconds or even more passed, but she still did not hear the sound of the man’s footsteps approaching.
Just when she thought that the man would not come up and would not be in the same room with her, the doorknob was turned from outside the door. In the next second, the tall and straight figure of the man fell into Qiao Man’s eyes.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and a pair of black slippers on his feet. Even so, it did not affect his natural elegance.
“Ji Yunshen, where did you take Xin Qiao? Her body is not very good, she can’t stand the torment… ”
Ji Yunshen slowly walked closer until he was only a few centimeters away from her. He did not speak or move, but he gave off a very strong invisible pressure.
All the light above Qiao Man’s head was blocked by the man in front of her. She did not stand up, nor did she make any movements. She only looked up at Ji Yunshen, who was standing in the dim light “Ji Yunshen, I admit that on the surface, I look a little happier than you, but it’s not enough to make you jealous or have any unreconciled thoughts. ”
“If you find me an eyesore, or if you find my daughter and husband an eyesore, we will leave immediately after we finish our business and never come back for the rest of our lives. ”
Her voice was soft and delicate, especially pleasant in the middle of the night. “So, can you let me go? ”
“What attracted you to Meng Dongxing? ”
He did not answer her question, but instead asked her a question.
Qiao man bit her lip and did not answer for a long time. In other words, she did not know what kind of answer was the answer he wanted to hear. At a time like this, she understood the logic of saying that there were many mistakes.
“Or let me ask you this. In bed, who can satisfy you more, me or him? ”
Qiao Man’s face was still pale. This was an obvious insult, perhaps she was expecting her overreaction.
She took a deep breath, her tone still soft and charming “Ji Yunshen, I believe that if you want to be happy, you can have it anytime. Like you said when I first got close to you, it’s not sweet to force it. There’s really no need to force it to taste its bitterness. Am I right? ”
Ji Yunshen lowered his head to look at her face. After a long while, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. “Now you want to talk to me about logic? ”
“Or do you think you can use reason to convince me? ” He raised his big hand and gently pinched her lower jaw. His voice was filled with Frost. “Qiao Man, am I that easy to fool in your eyes? HMM? ”
Qiao man was forced to raise her head and looked into his eyes, which were as cold as ice. “I’m not reasoning with you. I’m telling you the truth. After all, I have a family and children now. It’s immoral to be involved with you like this. ”
