Bai Yue threw the newspaper into the trash can and returned to the company with the coffee she just bought. Without knocking on the door, she pushed open Qiao Wenxing's office.
This company was started by Qiao Wenxing. At the beginning, Mother Qiao wanted to use money to send Bai Yue, but Bai Yue firmly refused. Mother Qiao slapped her in a hurry and humiliated her. But she called Qiao Wenxing before going to the appointment. Qiao Wenxing, who came in a hurry, happened to bump into this scene and directly fell out with his mother who had always doted on him the most.
Even so, when he disobeyed his parents and ran away from home and all his accounts were frozen by Father Qiao, Mother Qiao couldn't help feeling distressed and quietly gave him money. Qiao Wenxing started the company.
Father Qiao not only froze all his funds, but also removed his general manager position in the branch, smashing him to the end.
Qiao Wenxing has done whatever he wants since he was a child, and he has never lived well. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary himself. He was a well-known good boy in the circle, and he was always praised by his elders. Although he is now twenty-four years old, he has not actually experienced a period of rebellion.
It should be said that he lived too smoothly in the past to have no chance to rebel. This time, the resistance to the arranged marriage and the pursuit of love finally led to an irreconcilable conflict between him and his doting parents, and Qiao Wenxing's belated rebellious period finally came.
He wanted to just take this opportunity to get out of his father's control and make some achievements for him to prove himself.
The father took the illegitimate son home, he knew it. But he didn't care, because it was nothing more than a means for his father to force him into submission. If the father really liked that illegitimate son, he could have brought him home long ago, or he would have given him a branch to take care of and practice his skills just like training himself.
But my father didn't. My father didn't like the illegitimate child outside the plan. His mother's status was low, and her character was a mess. His father never forgiven her for daring to give birth to a child without his consent.
Qiao Wenxing doesn't care about Qiao Chengyu at all, he is in a irritable mood now because of something else.
The door suddenly opened, Qiao Wenxing frowned and raised his head, wanting to scold the person who didn't knock on the door, but when he saw it was Bai Yue, his expression softened: "Where are you going?"
Bai Yue brought hot coffee to him with a sweet smile: "Your favorite drink."
"...Thank you." Qiao Wenxing reached out and took it.
He actually doesn't like drinking it at all. The coffee he likes to drink, coffee beans are produced in the peaks of the high mountains in the tropical archipelago, with a sweet taste and rich aroma. Most people can't afford it, these chain coffee shops with the same name are actually imitations.
But he wouldn't bother with Bai Yue about this. Bai Yue didn't care about that at all, she only cared about him.
"Why go out and buy it yourself? Why don't you just order a delivery." He blamed her.
Bai Yue wrinkled her nose: "Delivery has to be delivered to several places, so it's slow. Sometimes it's cold and the taste is not good. I just want you to drink it hot."
She tilted her head and smiled playfully, her eyes full of affection. She was a girl who shredded the cheque that he would send to others in front of her eyes. Even if the amount on the cheque was money that she could never earn in her life, she still didn't blink.
Her feelings for him are the purest and purest.
Not like Han Yanyan. He and Han Yanyan grew up together and were already too familiar with each other. When they are together, there is rarely such a flow of affection, and it is usually about capital flows and projects. Although they were engaged, they were just following the instructions of their respective parents.
Moreover, Han Yanyan is too strong.
Qiao Wenxing blamed Bai Yue, but in his heart he actually enjoyed Bai Yue putting him first and foremost, and he was the one who gave him all his heart. He held Bai Yue's hand. The little hand was cold from the wind. He couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Warmed by her lover's concern, Bai Yue kissed him on the face and said sweetly, "I'll wear gloves next time. I don't like you drinking coffee bought by others."
She turned her head and saw the folders spread out on the desk, paused for a while, and asked carefully, "How is the situation?"
Qiao Wenxing's eyes darkened and he said, "It's not going well. Everyone knows me, and no one dares to deal with me. My dad just wanted to force me back, and they were all afraid of my dad."
Bai Yue gently smoothed the Sichuan character between his brows, and asked tentatively, "Wen Xing, have you ever thought about leaving here and developing elsewhere?"
Qiao Wenxing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Yue said: "What about my home?" She added: "Of course it's not my home, my home is a small 18th-tier city, I mean the provincial capital city over there. No one knows you there, you No matter how powerful your father is, he can't reach him, right?"
Qiao Wenxing hesitated. After all, the foundation of the Qiao family is deeply rooted here, and since ancient times, there is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake...
But Bai Yue had a sweet smile, and her eyes were full of longing: "I can't help but imagine that if you leave here, leave these people who bind you, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, the sky is high and the birds fly, and you are free. What a great feeling!"
Qiao Wenxing felt that something was hit in his heart, and he wanted that feeling too. I want to share that feeling with Bai Yue.
"Then go." He squeezed her hand and said firmly.
Joe's mansion.
After dark, Qiao Chengyu, who was the second young master, was welcomed here. Qiao Chengyu has been to this mansion several times recently, but he does not live here because this is not his home.
The housekeepers in the hall who politely took his coat were all alienated and indifferent to him, with disgust in their eyes. This housekeeper was an old man whom Qiao's mother had used for more than 20 years, and she watched Qiao Wenxing grow up. Although she was silent about his recognition of his ancestors, Qiao Chengyu could feel the rejection in that silence.
He doesn't like coming to this place.
Taking off his jacket, Qiao Chengyu went straight to the study on the second floor. After knocking on the door to get permission, he pushed the door in, walked to the man's desk, bowed his head slightly, and called out, "Dad."
Father Qiao raised his head and looked at the son who was raised outside, his heart was very complicated.
He recognized Qiao Chengyu home, as Qiao Chengyu knew, to put pressure on Qiao Wenxing.
He also allowed Qiao Chengyu to contact Han Yanyan. Han Yanyan was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. His father's family was very rich, and his mother's family was a political leader. Han Yanyan's eyes have always been pointed towards the sky. He never thought that Han Yanyan would take a fancy to the illegitimate child of this peripheral girl, even though... this son is really good, and he has inherited his genes.
As a result, they were actually engaged, and Father Qiao suddenly became passive.
"Have you agreed with Yanyan when the engagement ceremony will take place?" Father Qiao asked after a long silence.
"Not yet, this matter hasn't passed through you, the elders have to touch it before making a decision. We are the juniors, just follow the arrangement." Qiao Chengyu replied indifferently.
Father Qiao nodded: "Tomorrow I will discuss with Lao Han, you don't have to worry."
Qiao Chengyu raised his eyes, staring at his father with dark eyes: "I have never worried about your work."
His greedy mother squandered his alimony recklessly, and his biological father converted all the alimony into real objects—the kindergarten and elementary school tuition fees were paid directly, and all kinds of daily necessities were directly prepared for him in life, from clothes, shoes and socks to Chauffeur and driver.
The outer girl couldn't touch a penny, and she was furious.
But the daily necessities prepared by his biological father were so good that the women from the periphery stole them and sold them for second-hand money. When Father Qiao found out, he immediately sent him to a boarding school to separate the mother and son. He went to the boarding school from elementary school to junior high school. At first, he could see his biological mother once a month or two, but gradually he disappeared.
When he graduated from junior high school, his biological mother didn't know where to go. He knew that she probably ran away with another man because he saw that he was unprofitable. Immediately, he was sent abroad to receive the best elite education abroad, all the way to return home with a master's degree.
After returning to China, his biological father gave him a property and a sum of money, and he no longer cares about him.
He settled down, thought about it for a long time, and chose a company under the biological father's group among several offers. Anyway, no one knows him, let alone the relationship between him and the chairman of the group. He can work hard silently, hoping to stand in front of him one day and let him face himself.
Although he never thought of recognizing him since he was born, he did give him a good life and excellent educational conditions, and ensured his personal safety and rights.
Father and son, two pairs of eyes with similar shapes looked at each other silently.
After a while, the old one sighed slightly, opened the drawer, and took out a few folders: "Go back and take a good look at this, don't mess around here, there is a meeting at the headquarters tomorrow at ten o'clock, you can also sit in and listen to it. …”
Qiao Chengyu finally waited for this day, his father finally faced his existence, and... willing to give him a chance.
He held the folder and closed the study door, and when he stood in the corridor, he felt his hands tremble slightly. He took a deep breath and went downstairs. When passing through the empty hall, I suddenly felt strange. Looking up, I saw a graceful middle-aged woman leaning against the railing on the third floor, staring at him coldly.
This is his biological father's first wife, from a distinguished background.
Han Yanyan's mother also came from a prominent family.
Qiao Chengyu is very eager to have a mother like them, who is surrounded and complimented by people wherever they go.
But his mother was just a woman who betrayed her looks. She always brought different men home, or did not return home for several days and nights. She also took drugs. The last time he saw her was when Father Qiao asked someone to give him news after returning to China. In the drug rehab center, she was too thin to be human, and when she looked at him, her eyes were dull.
Years of drug use had damaged her brain.
He is destined to not have a mother of noble birth in his life, but he can have a wife of noble birth. This was his dream, once out of reach, ridiculously wishful thinking. But now, it's about to happen.
Qiao Chengyu was driving and felt a fire in his heart.
Han Yanyan didn't go out to play today. When she received a call from Qiao Chengyu, she was staying at home lazily watching TV series in this world.
"I'm outside your door," he said.
He wants to see her. Han Yanyan didn't find it strange, maybe it was because of the progress of the matter that there was something important to tell her face to face. She put on her coat and went out. Going through the courtyard and out of the gate, I saw Qiao Chengyu's car. Qiao Chengyu got out of the car when he saw the iron gate opened and strode towards her.
His attitude made her feel that he had something important to tell her immediately, and she hurried up to meet him.
Before the word "what" could be said, Qiao Chengyu suddenly strode forward, held her face, and lowered his head sharply to bite her lips.
