This time, he didn’t say anything more. Regardless of whether she pulled him, pulled him, or cried, he didn’t stop at all.
He used to regard her company to him as a deep love, and he had loved her deeply for so many years. After they separated, he had always felt guilty toward her, and he tolerated her in every way. However, those were all because of the little touches that they had accumulated when they were together It made it impossible for him to pretend that nothing had happened.
Five years, more than 1,800 days and nights, he had paid the price due to his tolerance.
Now, he would not continue to tolerate, nor would he continue to indulge.
…
It was drizzling outside again, making the garden landscape in the courtyard of the apartment even more dazzling compared to the other flowers and trees.
He was wearing a dark black suit and black leather shoes of the same color. When he walked on the road that had rained, the raindrops fell heavily on it. He lowered his head and saw his face in the puddle of water.
It was a face that was as tall as the sky after he had let go of everything.
From now on, there would be no more guilt in his life. There would only be a happier tomorrow.
After getting into the Gray Bentley, the car quickly disappeared from the rain. The woman in the apartment stood by the French window and watched the car slowly disappear from her sight. Then, she lowered her head with tears all over her face She took out her phone and dialed a number!
Mu Xi’s words before she left just now clearly had a hidden meaning.
She was AH Shen’s mother. No matter what she did, this relationship could not be changed.
However, she was different. To Shen, she was just an outsider. Perhaps, she was not even an outsider.
She was not a fool. At this moment, she should have made preparations. When things really happened, she could also leave a way out for herself.
The Hazy Spring Rain left a hazy mist on the floor-to-ceiling window. It made her small, sharp face look even more exquisite.
The beeping from the receiver rang for about a dozen times. Just as it was about to hang up automatically, the other side picked up. It was a soft and sweet female voice. In the middle of the night, it sounded particularly pleasant.
However, if one listened carefully, one could tell that the voice had a hint of coarseness.
“Who is it? It’s so late and you’re still calling! ”
She should have suspected it a long time ago. The people she was strangely familiar with, the scars on her neck, and the coarseness left behind after her vocal cords were damaged… …
Thinking of this, she could not help but close her eyes slightly.
It was already close to midnight. Not to mention forest city, even Jingdou had long since entered hibernation. It was no wonder that the voice on the other end was mixed with countless complaints.
“Teacher Huang, it’s me! ”
Ji Han only opened her eyes after a long time. Her Fair little hands gripped her phone tightly as she slowly turned around. Her petite back leaned against the cold window. “I’m Tian Tian’s aunt, Ji Han! ”
Huang Yao was still a little sleepy, but she was quickly frightened out of her wits by the female voice on the other end. She hurriedly sat up on the bed and spoke in a fearful tone “Oh, it’s Miss Ji Han. I picked up the call without looking at the caller ID. I didn’t know it was you on the other end. It’s so late. What’s the matter? ”
“Um… ”
Ji Han laughed softly. In the dark of the night, her figure seemed a little desolate. “I remember that teacher Huang came back from studying abroad. Which school exactly? ”
“This… ”
“Oh, it’s like this! ”
Ji Han shuffled her white cotton slippers and walked to the SOFA to sit down “I might go to England to do something in a few days and give a speech at a few universities on the way. So I want to ask teacher Huang which school she graduated from and see if there are any schools I want to go to! ”
On the coffee table in front of the SOFA was the red wine bottle and empty wine glass that Ji Yunshen had just drunk. She picked up the red wine bottle and filled the empty wine glass with wine, then brought it to her mouth and drank it in one gulp.
“But… I’m not very familiar with the surroundings. I think if Ms. Huang could help me introduce them, I would really be grateful! ”
Huang Yao raised her delicate eyebrows, but her voice was still very gentle. “Oh, is that so? I wonder which universities Ms. Ji is going to give a speech at. Let me see if I know about the delicacies and the geographical environment in the surroundings! ”
The ball that had been kicked was kicked back. Ji Han lazily shook her wine glass and raised it in front of her eyes. Through the bright red wine in the transparent glass, she looked at the thousands of lights that were sprinkled from the crystal chandelier above her head.
“Oxford University, Cambridge University, London Polytechnic University, London Business School, Imperial College of design… ”
After Ji Han finished speaking, she patiently waited for Huang Yao’s reply.
Huang Yao’s face was full of smiles, just like how she usually treated children. She was careful and gentle. “No, Miss Ji, those are not schools that I graduated from! ”
“But our school is not far from London business school. I’m more familiar with the food and geography nearby. I’ll use wechat to send you a guide in the future. This way, Miss Ji can work at the same time and have a good time traveling! ”
“Miss Huang, is it difficult for you to reveal your university to me? ”
Ji Han felt that she would not get the result she wanted even if she continued to beat around the Bush, so she went straight to the point. “Or is it that Miss Huang has too many secrets and is afraid of being discovered by others? ”
“How can that be, Miss Ji! ”
Huang Yao sighed and then slowly said, “To be honest, Miss Ji, I did not finish my studies at university and returned to my country. This has always been my regret for many years, so I rarely mention my overseas studies to others. I hope that you can be magnanimous! ”
Ji Han smiled coldly. Then, she moved the wine glass in front of her to her red lips and downed it in one gulp.
This red wine had a very high alcohol content. After drinking two glasses, she felt slightly tipsy, as if the whole world was spinning.
“That’s easy to say, but teacher Huang, I still have to remind you that a Fox’s tail is too long. Sooner or later, it will reveal itself. You’d better be careful, understand? ”
When Huang Yao heard Ji Han’s somewhat cold voice, she couldn’t help but shiver “Miss Ji, I was woken up by your phone call just now, and I still haven’t completely snapped out of it. Did I do something wrong? So you wanted to call me late at night and say these words that I don’t understand? ”
In terms of acting skills, the popular actresses and even movie queens were not necessarily as good as Tong Qin back then.
Moreover, she had experienced so much life and death, becoming more reserved, mature, and even gentle. Even if she was greatly shocked, she could still smile without changing her expression.
“Tong Qin, a straightforward person doesn’t beat around the Bush. I’ll tell you directly! ”
“Ah Shen and brother Qingshan have already begun to suspect you. No matter what you did to Qiao man and how you escaped the fire in Syria, I hope that you can keep your mouth shut, especially when it comes to the things that you and I have done together. Otherwise… “. … I can’t guarantee that nothing will happen to you again!”
After Ji Han finished speaking, Huang Yao, who was sitting across from him, was silent for more than ten seconds. She could only hear her slightly disordered breathing clearly.
After another ten seconds, Huang Yao finally opened her mouth lightly. “Miss Ji, although I don’t know who the Tong Qin you’re talking about is, I can say with certainty that I’m not her! ”
“there are thousands and thousands of people who are similar to her in this world. You can’t assume that I’m her just because I have some similarities with her. Moreover, didn’t you say that she experienced a fire in Syria “since she escaped, it’s impossible that she doesn’t have any scars, right? ”
This time, it was Ji Han who was silent.
Huang Yao laughed lightly again. “I know that Miss Ji Comes from a prestigious family. It’s easy to get rid of someone, but I’m really not her. I hope that after you’ve investigated thoroughly, you can tell me these things that are very baffling to me! ”
She finished speaking in one breath. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she heard Ji Han’s voice coming from the other end of the radio “Tong Qin, if you want to deny it, I have no objections. But I hope you can understand what I’m saying. Also, if you want to pretend to be smart, then act like it. I’ve never said that I thought you were Tong Qin because you’re similar to her! ”
“Also, I only said a few words about the great fire in Syria, and you just went along with it. Isn’t this the legendary confession? It’s been five years. If you had a little more brain, you wouldn’t have ended up like this! ”
Ji Han’s voice was very contemptuous, as if she didn’t take her seriously at all. It was as if she had abandoned her after using it.
Huang Yao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, even the complicated emotions in her eyes were hidden in the depths of the darkness. She said, “Ji Han, what right do you have to talk about me here? Didn’t you also play a good hand of cards until it was a mess? What’s wrong with me? I can at least start over. Can you do it? You don’t even have the courage to start over! ”
“So, you’ve changed your appearance and come back. Are you planning to completely abandon Ah Shen and become your kindergarten teacher? ”
Ji Han’s voice was filled with mockery “Tong Qin, speaking of which, I indeed don’t have as much courage as you do. However, there’s one thing I think that even if you hide in the darkness for 10,000 years, you won’t be as good as me. It’s Ah Shen’s hatred for you. You’ve caused a man to develop a deep-rooted hatred for you. Do you understand? ”
“Ji Han, you don’t have to provoke me so much! It’s useless. Back then, wasn’t it you who instigated Mu Xi to bring me to Syria? Do you think I don’t know? ”
Huang Yao lifted the blanket, put on her slippers, and got out of bed. Then, she walked to the French window and looked at the city lights outside the window “You wanted to use the JI family as a gun, and you wanted to kill Qiao man again and again, but did you succeed? During the five years that Qiao man went missing, Ji Yunshen also searched for her for five years
“during the five years, you didn’t let the man who loved you and protected you for ten years to accept you again. He didn’t even set his eyes on you for a day. What right do you have to come and tell me that he hates me? Relatively speaking, he probably hates you more
“I don’t know where you got your confidence from. Is it from Fu Qingshan? Or Lu Yubai? or Gu Xichen
“based on my understanding, Fu Qingshan’s heart is basically in Lin Yan. If it weren’t for the fact that we grew up together, you might have treated him like a passerby! ”
“As for Lu Yubai, he is naturally flirtatious and likes to play with women. Although he is more affectionate towards you, can you guarantee that he will only like you in the future? ” “Then there’s Gu Xichen. I heard that he ran away from the wedding. It’s probably because something happened to Qiao man in Syria, right? ” “Am I right? ”
Huang Yao reached out and brushed her long hair off her shoulders. Then, she sat down on the soft couch next to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her voice sounded even more Languid “Ji Han, you could have had many opportunities for happiness. I was like you. I grew up in an orphanage. Although I was adopted by wealthy families, the Tong family went bankrupt later. I was forced to stop my studies and return to China. I entered the entertainment industry. ”
“But what about you? ”
“You successfully graduated from a famous school overseas. After you returned to China, you had so many people who loved you. The JI family, Ji Yunshen, Fu Qingshan, Gu Xichen, and Lu Yubai, who was cynical but only liked you for many years. I can understand your inferiority, but I don’t understand why you would do those things that hurt you as a matter of course because of your inferiority! ”
“In the past, I actually envied you. I envied your background, and I envied the people around you who loved you so much. But now, I don’t envy you anymore, because you’ve played all of your trump cards. Now, you’re only left with a body that no longer has any cover. Although I understand you very well, I don’t sympathize with you
“As for… What you’ve done, you know in your heart. There’s no wall in this world that won’t let in the Wind, Ji Han! So you’d better not provoke me, and stay out of my way. Otherwise, just like you said, I can’t guarantee that nothing will happen to you! ”
After saying that, Huang Yao hung up the phone!
Ji Han listened to the beeping sound coming from the receiver. At first, she laughed softly, then she burst out laughing, and finally, she cried bitterly.
Tong Qin said that she envied her. Perhaps even today, she was starting to envy the person she used to be!
…
Three days later, in Lin city.
Qiao man had just driven to the psychological consultation room that she shared with Xie Zhiqian when she realized that the office area was very quiet.
The sharp high heels fell on the marble floor, making a crisp sound. The people sitting in the office area all turned their heads and greeted her.
She nodded slightly and then walked quickly to the office inside.
Just as she pushed the door open and entered, she found that there was the smell of cigarettes in the office. She looked up and saw two tall men sitting on the Sofa in the reception room. On the floor of the office, there was a sea of roses arranged with thousands of roses.
At a glance, it was obvious that they were long platycodon roses brought back from abroad. The petals were still stained with crystal-clear morning dew.
Xie Zhiqian hurriedly stood up to call for Qiao Man. “Yo, man man, you’re here. Come and sit down! ”
Qiao man glanced at Xie Zhiqian, then at Ji Yunshen, who was opposite Xie Zhiqian. After a while, she said calmly, “Why is he here? ”
Xie Zhiqian’s face remained embarrassed for a second, and then he quickly tried to smooth things over. “Man man, speak properly. President Ji is our big client. Be careful with your words. Don’t neglect our parents who provide for us! ”
Qiao man walked over with her handbag. Her Slim and graceful figure sat beside Xie Zhiqian, and her pitch-black eyes stared at him without blinking. “President Xie, may I ask what the meaning of ‘parents who provide for us’ is? ”
Xie Zhiqian’s eyes turned around, and then he said tactfully, “The general meaning is that president JI has invested in our psychological consultation room, and then transferred the money we invested back to our cards separately. In other words, in the future, if we contribute, president JI will provide the money, and then we will share the money together! ”
“Why? Aren’t you quite rich? If you think that my money is too little, I can not invest and only work for you. But the premise is that I don’t want to have any work contact with him, especially in terms of money! ”
After saying that, Qiao man stood up. Before she could walk out, Ji Yunshen reached out his big hand and grabbed Qiao Man’s slender wrist, saying in a clear and indifferent tone, “Qiao man, you’re not afraid of me. ” “Miss Qiao, if you want to do business, shouldn’t you welcome people with open arms? Business is business, what are you afraid of? ”
Qiao man did not know which of his words provoked her. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and sat back down.
Xie Zhiqian, who had already stood up, was stunned for two seconds because of her sudden sitting down. Then, he slowly sat down, the smile on his face did not change.
“Yes, yes, yes. Look at CEO JI’s height and demeanor, and then look at you. You’re so petty. Isn’t it just a divorce… ”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Qiao Man’s sweeping gaze. He quickly changed the topic. “business is business, business is business, Hahaha… ”
Qiao man retracted her gaze. Her petite back was deeply embedded in the back of the chair. Then, her slender and fair legs were casually crossed as she lazily looked at Ji Yunshen across from her “CEO JI, since you want to be the person who pays the money, then let’s talk about what the person who pays the money should do first. ”
Ji Yunshen nodded and imitated her manner, sinking his back into the back of the chair, looking like he was listening attentively.
Because of this action, the tall and long-legged man became even more languid and sexy. It could be said that he was bursting with hormones. Qiao man took a glance with difficulty and then averted her gaze.
“Back then, I agreed to Xie Zhiqian to open this psychological consultation room because I still needed to stay in forest city for a few more months. I can’t let myself have nothing to do and cut off my source of income. ”
“secondly, it’s because the psychological consultation in the domestic market has been in high demand year after year. The business opportunities are great, and I want to give it a try. Perhaps I can make a name for myself. In that case, I don’t need to leave my hometown. ”
“But the premise is… I don’t want to see you, and I don’t want to get in touch with you. ”
“If you think it’s acceptable, then we’ll work together. If you don’t want to accept it, then we’ll go our separate ways right now! ”
Xie Zhiqian poked Qiao Man, but she pushed him back. She had no intention to compromise at all.
Ji Yunshen rested one hand on the back of the SOFA and supported his forehead with his hand. His eyes were becoming more and more lazy “Miss Qiao, do you always work in such a way that you don’t distinguish between public and private affairs? Let’s not talk about the fact that I’m the one who pays for it. Let’s talk about my influence in forest city. If you want to develop here for a long time, can you avoid me? ”
His chiseled handsome face had a faint, gentle smile. When he looked at her, it was as if the entire starry sky was twinkling “In other words, even if we don’t meet each other at work, we will often meet in private. You are Tian Tian’s mother, and I am Tian Tian’s father. With such a relationship, do you think that we can never see each other again for the rest of our lives? ”
Qiao man originally had a bunch of words that she wanted to say, but after a few casual words from the man, she could not say a word.
She knew that everything he said was right, and since there was no room for negotiation, she stood up again. “since Mr. Ji means that we can’t avoid meeting in private, then I can at least refuse to meet at work! ”
After saying that, she turned to look at Xie Zhiqian. “President Xie, reject him now and say that you don’t need his money. ”
Since the disaster was caused by Xie Zhiqian, then it was his turn to end it.
Xie Zhiqian raised his head to look at Qiao man, then turned to look at Ji Yunshen, and then said word by word, “Man man, what should I do? I’ve already signed the contract with President Ji. If I break the contract, I’ll have to pay him ten times the amount. With my current financial strength, if I pay twice the amount, I might lose everything, not to mention ten times the amount! ”
“Besides, where in Lin city would I find such a handsome and generous partner like President Ji… ”
Qiao man closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then pointed in the direction of the door. Without hearing him finish, she ordered him to leave, “get out of here, and take the food and clothes you found with you. I don’t want to see you now! ”
“Okay! ”
Xie Zhiqian quickly stood up and said a few symbolic words to Ji Yunshen. Seeing that he had no intention of getting up, he quickly walked out of Qiao Man’s office.
Moreover, before he left, he did not forget to pull down the Lily curtains on the transparent glass to block the eyes of the gossipy employees in the office area outside the transparent glass.
Seeing that Ji Yunshen did not get up and had no intention of leaving, Qiao man reached out to pull him. “Please leave my office… ah… ”
Just as her hand touched his coat, he reached out to hold her slender wrist and controlled her to his strong legs. “I haven’t seen you for a few days. Why are you like a little wild cat with such sharp claws? ”
Qiao man struggled on his legs, but she did not move him at all.
In the end, she could only lower her head and bite his wrist. She used almost all her strength, but the man did not move at all. He did not even frown.
She was tired from biting and tormenting him. In the end, she could only ask in a soft voice, “Ji Yunshen, what do you mean? ”
“nothing much. I just haven’t seen you for a few days. I missed you, so I came to see you! ”
“Why would I want to see you! Ji Yunshen, CEO JI, stands at the top of money and power, overlooking the entire world. What kind of woman doesn’t he have by his side? Does he still need to keep thinking about an ex-wife who is tired of playing with him after the divorce? ”
Qiao man stared at him, her delicate and fair little face was full of mockery. “Or does CEO JI think that my tired ex-wife is not miserable enough and wants to play with me again? ”
The man frowned and reached out to grab her sharp chin. “Why are you speaking in such a weird manner? I was afraid that I would directly go to your place at night and feel disgusted, so I chased you here. Why do you still have a bad attitude towards me? ”
Qiao man glanced at the roses on the ground, then at the indifferent and lazy man. “Also, I’ll have to trouble CEO JI to take away the roses on the ground when he leaves later! ”
After she finished speaking in a low voice, she began to struggle again. This time, the man did not try to control her, but let her go.
