When Ye Mi came out of the fitting room, she was still wearing her T-shirt and holding the skirt in her hand. She looked embarrassed and said, "This dress has exposed shoulders. I can't stand it. My shoulders are not good-looking." Ye Mi was a little embarrassed and handed the skirt to the salesperson.
Jiang Mingming took a look and said, "No, you have nice shoulders and you are thin, so your collarbone must be beautiful too." She walked forward and whispered to Ye Mi, "Men like it. Showing your collarbone is very sexy."
Ye Mi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the back of her shoulder. The birthmark would definitely look ugly if it was exposed. She giggled, "But this exposes too much, even the cleavage is exposed." She lowered her voice and whispered in front of Jiang Mingming, glancing at He Qingwen next to her, afraid of being heard. She looked so adorable.
Jiang Mingming couldn't help laughing, and then found another piece on the hanger. "Then try this one. The shoulder straps are wider, and the deep V neckline is still very noble. You have fair skin and a good figure, it will definitely look good on you."
Ye Mi really didn't want to buy it, but seeing her enthusiastic and serious look, it was hard to refuse, so she went in dejectedly. After fiddling with it for a while, she came out like a different person. The black dress matched her fair skin very well, and the little blush on her face because of embarrassment made her whole person shy and cute all of a sudden.
He Qingwen stared at her blankly, a little dazed, and saw that she was very uncomfortable covering her exposed parts of her body with her hands, with her arms tightly clasped together. It was not summer yet, and she did not live such a delicate life. She had not removed her armpit hair for a while, and it looked very ugly.
Jiang Mingming took a pair of black peep-toe high heels from the shelf next to her. The simple design was not lacking in noble details. "Don't always wear these sneakers in the future. Girls should know how to wear high heels." She bent down and placed the shoes at Ye Mi's feet.
Ye Mi was extremely terrified. This was the boss lady of the company. How could she let such a noble woman change her shoes? She quickly bent down and said, "Auntie, please don't do this. I'll do it myself."
It didn't matter that she moved, she heard a chuckle next to her. He Qingwen looked at her while holding the clothes hanger, "Ye Mi, look at any girl who wears a dress so carelessly." As he said this, he raised his arm and pursed his lips, with a look of gloating, but with no malice.
Ye Mi's face turned red all the way to her neck. She quickly stood up, holding her arms tightly against her body, staring at him with resentment. She wanted to get angry but Jiang Mingming was there.
"Qingwen, wait outside."
"I don't want it!"
"Then keep quiet."
He Qingwen wanted to argue, but after taking one look at his mother's eyes he fell silent. He glanced at Ye Mi, bared his teeth and made a face as if he was going to beat someone up.
"Look at how beautiful your legs are, and your arms too. I rarely see young wives with such tight and slender arms. Even those rich girls don't have such beautiful arms." The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her.
Ye Mi still smiled foolishly. Rich girls are all spoiled and brought up. If they had worked like her since childhood, their arms would definitely be tight and beautiful, she thought to herself.
"Aunt, anyone who can be your daughter or daughter-in-law is blessed." Ye Mi's words sounded nice, but they were definitely not compliments. It was really a happy thing to have such a mother or mother-in-law. She would have some resentment in her heart. Why can't you be Qiao Yan's mother when you are He Qingwen's mother
Jiang Mingming looked her up and down, with a faint smile on his face, "Why don't you come?"
Ye Mi wanted to bite her tongue. She was so scared that she took a step back and waved her hand. "I will not divorce Qiao Yan. We have already agreed on this."
"Be my goddaughter..."
"Mom!" He Qingwen cried out in surprise, the shock in his eyes was obvious.
"My daughter should be your age. She will definitely be prettier and more popular than you." Jiang Mingming gently stroked Ye Mi's face, his eyes already full of love.
Ye Mi was stunned, not knowing what was going on. She carefully wiped away the tears that accidentally fell from her eyes. "She, is dead?" she asked cautiously.
Jiang Mingming stared at the woman in front of him for a long time. Her eyes were so pure that they reflected her own shadow, which made her feel more and more selfish. If she had taken the child to see her current father-in-law, the child might not have disappeared. In just thirteen days, the child and the man she felt the most trustworthy disappeared together.
She shook her head, tears gathering in her eyes until they finally fell uncontrollably, "It's lost."
"Lost!" Ye Mi exclaimed, and felt something was wrong. Her face was a little red. She reached out to help Jiang Mingming wipe away the tears on her face. "I'm sorry, I'm rude. Don't be sad, you will definitely find it." She gently hugged the sad woman in front of her and patted her back gently. "If you feel bored, you can talk to me, or go shopping with you or something, but my schedule is always irregular, and I might be very busy."
Jiang Mingming's mood suddenly brightened, "You agreed?" She looked at Ye Mi with anticipation.
Ye Mi laughed, "If you need anything, just call me. Forget about being a goddaughter. Your family is so rich. This is not good. I will be uncomfortable." She spoke the truth. She was very afraid of such wealthy families. The Qiao Yan family had already hurt her self-esteem. Feiyang had many times more money than the Qiao family. They had so many planes alone. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself and let people gossip about her.
Jiang Mingming didn't expect to be rejected because of this. This made her look at this girl with a different eye. She didn't curry favor with the powerful and was unwilling to show her face in public. In this impetuous society, there are really few girls who can do this.
She didn't make things difficult for her, but she still insisted on giving her the outfit she had matched. Ye Mi couldn't resist the two of them, so she reluctantly accepted it. Along the way, she was thinking about how to tell Qiao Yan, whether to tell the truth or make up a story.
He Qingwen and Jiang Mingming sent her downstairs. Ye Mi was a little at a loss and bowed several times.
"If you need any help, just call me, sis." He Qingwen was a little reluctant. She didn't know how it turned out like this. Her mother wanted to recognize her as her daughter. She really became a sister.
Ye Mi actually had something to say, "I really don't want to accept any more interviews. Everyone else is busy with useless things, and I'm the only one busy with useless things. If I really go out to communicate with foreign companies, I will be a hindrance."
He Qingwen lowered his head and thought for a while, then patted her shoulder and said, "There are still variables in the overseas visit, but you don't have to think too much. I will communicate with the flight squadron."
Although Ye Mi was quite surprised, he also knew that some things were beyond his control, so he didn't dwell on it too much.
After entering the house, she dropped her schoolbag and ran into the study, turned on the computer, and saw her handsome husband waiting for her there. After complaining to her about the pain of missing her husband, Ye Mi decided to tell the truth.
Qiao Yan didn't reply for a long time. Ye Mi was extremely worried. Finally, she saw him reply, "Goddaughter is also good."
Ye Mi's eyes widened in surprise. "What's wrong with you? She's the boss lady of the company. You actually asked me to curry favor with the rich and powerful!"
Qiao Yan bit his knuckles. He had his own little calculations in mind. Maybe if they became Fei Yang's goddaughter, it would be easier for them to pass the test in front of his family. He admitted that he was a little utilitarian, but he wanted to give Ye Mi a real promise, and he also wanted to get the blessing of his family. A marriage without blessing is incomplete even if it is happy.
Ye Mi didn't understand what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought he was angry, so he quickly changed the subject, "He Qingwen said that something had happened to our students' overseas exchange program, and we don't know what happened."
When Qiao Yan saw it, his heart skipped a beat. The thing he had been worried about seemed to be really happening. However, he didn't expect that this time the target was not the students, but him.
The next day, Ye Mi was not arranged to do an interview. She had nothing to do so she just sat in the office. She felt a little bored, but when she thought about Qiao Yan coming back the next morning, she felt inexplicably sweet and excited. They had been separated for four days. But she would stay for two days and then fly to Liverpool. She felt a little depressed when she thought about this. How hard it would be to wait for such a long time of separation. She sighed on the table, and Lin Pei pushed the door and came in.
Ye Mi quickly stood up, "Teacher Lin."
"Ye Mi, your activities are already arranged. Since you want to fly with me, fly to Melbourne with fy7789 tomorrow afternoon for three days. You can go back and prepare."
"Teacher Lin, isn't the schedule too tight?" She was somewhat reluctant. This would coincide with Qiao Yan's return time, and the two wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time.
Lin Pei stared at her with a bad look on his face, "Aren't you anxious to get with Fei? You think what you are doing now is meaningless, and you even reported it to the company's top management in person."
Ye Mi understood at once, and was afraid that he had deliberately arranged such a coincidence in time. Ye Mi was very stubborn, and the more stubborn she was, the more she would show off. She looked straight at Lin Pei and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. I will go back and prepare right away."
In the evening, Jiang Mingming called Ye Mi and said that he wanted to have dinner with Ye Mi. Ye Zi was depressed and worried that she had no one to talk to about her grievances. Qiao Yan did not object, so she went.
The location was set at Qiaojiang Hotel, a place that always left Ye Mi with some shadows. When he got off the taxi, he happened to meet He Qingwen's car. Ye Mi was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here too?"
He Qingwen laughed, "Why, I can't have a meal with my future sister? Besides, I'm a hard-working driver and attendant, and a portable mobile wallet."
Ye Mi smiled, and saw Jiang Mingming coming out of the car very elegantly. When he saw Ye Mi, he frowned and said, "Why don't you wear the clothes I picked for you? They look so good on you."
Ye Mi looked at the noble facade of the hotel above her head, and then looked at her own casual outfit, which seemed a little inappropriate. She smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to do, and then she saw Jiang Mingming coming over and holding her arm, not shy at all, "Let's go in."
Ye Mi was really flattered. At that moment, she really hoped that this woman was her biological mother. Having grown up without parental care, she cherished family affection especially. God knew how sad she was to see Qiao Yan and his family in such a mess, and how guilty she felt for her selfish little thoughts.
Jiang Mingming didn't book a room, so she asked for a good seat in the restaurant, which was very conspicuous. As soon as she sat down, she went to the bathroom, leaving Ye Mi and He Qingwen sitting face to face, each flipping through the menu.
"What do you want to eat?" He Qingwen looked at her with a smile, but that smile was particularly glaring in Qiao's mother's eyes. She ignored her status as a noble lady, shook off Guan Enping beside her and walked over, grabbed the teacup on the table, and poured the tea in it on Ye Mi's face, "Do you have any shame? You are Qiao Yan's wife, and you actually dated another man while he was abroad."
He Qingwen was stunned. He didn't expect that Mrs. Qiao, who was usually noble and generous, would treat someone like this, especially her daughter-in-law. He was a little angry, and just as he was about to stand up to speak for her, he heard an elegant voice, "Mrs. Qiao."
Jiang Mingming didn't expect that the relationship between them would be so bad. Her heart ached when she saw the situation just now.
Mrs. Qiao was also a little embarrassed. They were all in the same circle, and such rude behavior was really beneath her dignity. Seeing this, Guan Enping hurried over to help, "Miss Ye seduced Qiao Yan, and now she is dating the noble young master, so it is inevitable that your aunt will be angry."
Jiang Mingming was still unhurried, "Then you may have misunderstood. I asked Ye Mi to have dinner with me, and Qingwen came with me."
Guan Enping was confused for a moment, and Qiao's mother was also stunned.
"I liked Ye Mi at first sight. I originally wanted to adopt her as a goddaughter, but I didn't expect that she would be Qiao Yan's wife. All the good girls have come to your Qiao family. The most noble daughter of a famous family was married to Qiao Yun, and the cutest girl from a small family was taken by Qiao Yan. We are just envious of them." As she said this, she took out a tissue from the table and went to wipe her face. The pity on her face was not fake. She really felt distressed.
Ye Mi didn't dare to act big in front of her mother-in-law, and quickly took the tissue from Jiang Mingming's hand, "Thank you, auntie, I can wipe it myself."
Mother Qiao was a little embarrassed, and she left with Guan Enping on the pretext of having other things to do. But even so, she felt a little uneasy, wondering how Ye Mi got in touch with Jiang Mingming. Guan Enping seemed to see through her worries and handed her an envelope, "I have completed the procedures for equity mortgage for you. And you don't have to take what happened just now to heart, aunt. Jiang Mingming was born in a poor kiln, so it's not surprising that they appreciate each other."
Although Qiao's mother agreed with him verbally, she was still not happy in her heart. Feiyang's financial resources were not comparable to Qiao Jiang's, and it was a well-known secret that Feiyang's wife was favored. If she really wanted to adopt a daughter, it was possible, and that seemed not bad.
