Sure enough, just as Qiao Tianqi hung up, Father Hai's phone also came. They were in the old house of the Qiao Family discussing the matter of cancelling the contract with Father Qiao and Qiao Liang.

Hai Xiao Min didn't dare to hesitate. Ling Yao was in a meeting right now, and she only asked Jess Xiu to inform him after he came out that he took a taxi to the Qiao family residence first.

The Qiao family had a history of hundreds of years. The mansion was built by the ancestors of the Qing dynasty. Looking from afar, it gave off the feeling of an ancient history.

By the time Hai Xiaoming arrived, all the people who should have been there had already arrived. As the person involved, she subconsciously felt a little nervous under the crowd's watchful eyes.

Seeing her sea father and mother, as well as Qiao Qiao who was sitting with her father, Qiao Tianxiong, she suddenly realized that things had already come to an end. What was there to be afraid of?

Thus, she suppressed the nervousness in her heart and resolutely walked over.

The matter regarding the annulment of the engagement was basically settled by both parties, except for the confirmation from the two parties involved. Qiao Tianqi had no objections, and Hai Xiaomin had no objections either.

The two sides had agreed upon a day when they would officially announce this result to the outside world.

Although the marriage had been dissolved under a harmonious atmosphere, the two families were still unhappy about this matter. It was rather awkward staying together. After everything was settled, Father Hai wanted to take his wife and daughter to leave first.

Before leaving, Qiao Tianqi extended an invitation to Hai Xiaomin, "Congratulations on successfully ending the engagement. Why not have a drink to celebrate?"

Hai Xiao Min took his father's arm and tilted her head to size him up.

Only two days had passed since the poisoning incident. When Hai Xiaoming first came in, he felt a little awkward and thought the other party would be embarrassed as well. However, he seemed to have forgotten that unpleasant experience and didn't show any abnormalities on the surface.

The corner of her pink lips curled up as she said, "Forget it. If Young Master Qiao holds a grudge and gives me medicine or something, won't I lose out?"

To those who didn't know, this was just a joke before parting. However, those who knew had a different feeling.

Qiao Tianqi's face turned cold. He could sense that Hai Fu seemed to have noticed something. He quickly forced out a smile and said, "Since we're not husband and wife, we're still friends. There will definitely be times when we have to deal with each other."

Hai Xiao Min slightly raised her brows, faintly discerning the hidden meaning in his words.

To be honest, every time she was alone with Qiao Tianqi, it was always bad. This madman was willing to risk his life!

It took courage to deal with lunatics. Hai Xiaoming had to take the initiative this time and choose the ancient Tang Xuan as her date just in case.

This time, Qiao Tianqi truly did not have any bad ideas. Even if it was the territory of his sworn enemy, he still agreed so easily. Hai Xiaomin even suspected that this person was planning to go all out and kill her …

Ahem, of course, she was thinking too much.

The dining room on the second floor of the ancient Tang Xuan restaurant. The two chose a table next to the window and sat facing each other. They only ordered two cups of coffee.

The two of them continued to look at each other, who didn't even want to eat.

"Is my sister okay?"

However, she did not see him in person, so she was a bit worried. Previously, she did not see anyone at the old mansion of the Qiao Family, but father Hai did not ask for anyone from the Qiao Family before he left. Before she arrived, she had already confirmed that all was well for Hai Lanyin.

"She's fine." Qiao Tianqi was in a good mood as he smiled, "You can be considered to be unlucky."

"?"

"I am going to marry Lanying. After announcing that we are going to break off the engagement, I will go and get my certificate."

"So sudden?" Hai Xiaomin stopped stirring the coffee. The news caught her off guard.

Seeing her surprised look, Qiao Tian Qi was puzzled: "Didn't Ling Yao tell you? He made a deal with me. "

Hai Xiao Min fell silent. Recalling the shameless kiss that someone had offered her, she rejected him bluntly. She didn't even give him a chance to surprise him. Naturally, she was still clueless about the terms of the agreement.

"Forget it. It's not a secret anyway, so there's no harm in telling you." Qiao Tianqi paused for a moment before saying, "When I was captured at the spa, you should understand that I was already at my wit's end."

He didn't know how much of this was due to Ling Yao and Tang Xuan, so he definitely wouldn't blame them. Qiao Tianqi wanted to take back ten percent, but he didn't expect that the other party would have prepared for it. Even worse, he had fallen into their hands at the time.

"He used letting me go and the Qiao family as a bargaining chip. He only wanted me to marry Lanyin." Even until now, he still felt that it was unrealistic to accept such outrageous terms.

Hai Xiao Min was shocked and did not say a word.

The smile on Qiao Tianqi's face was mixed with a trace of unspeakable misery.

Any other time, any other condition, even if he risked his life, he would never be able to compromise with his opponent. Yet, Ling Yao seized that opportunity and grabbed his weak point!

The one he really wanted to marry had always been Hai Lanyin.

But Father Qiao looked down on her illegitimate daughter's status. Lanyin was worried about her parents and sister's feelings, and the moral ethics of the outside world was tightly bound. Even if his engagement to Hai Xiaomin was annulled, it would still be difficult for him to be with her in the future.

The other party had provided him with a shortcut!

It was insidious, but at the same time it worked. It tied his marriage to the Qiao family's survival. Even Father Qiao could weigh the pros and cons at this moment.

Although the Qiao Family did not collapse immediately, but the most important reputation of an enterprise, its reputation, its customers, are all lost. It will be difficult for it to maintain its current state for a short period of time, it is almost impossible for it to recover its vitality! The Qiao Family was destroyed! But look at him, even at the last moment, he still had to squeeze out the last available value of her opponent, using a beautiful bubble as bait in exchange for benefits. Sadly, even though we know that it's just an illusion, we can only desperately try to keep up with it in order to survive. "

Qiao Tianqi wore a self-deprecating bitter smile as he poured out his grievances. In the end, he looked at Little Min in Shanghai with thoughtful beautiful eyes and asked, "Is he doing this for you?"

During the other party's narration, Hai Xiaoming did not disturb him, silently digesting the information she had heard. Although the other party's words contained no lack of negative provocations, it should also contain a lot of facts.

Hearing his question, she subconsciously replied, "What?"

Qiao Tianxiong crossed his arms over his chest as he looked at her from head to toe. With a slight smile, he said, "Hai Xiaomin, sometimes I really don't understand. Is it because your methods of seducing men are too powerful that you attracted Ling Yao, Tang Xuan, and the others to follow you around, or am I really mistaken? You have one or two bright spots on your body."
