Chapter 7: Seeing the End at First Glance

ve me last Dragon Boat Festival I didn't give it to my mother. She particularly liked it and kept it by her pillow every day, saying that her sleep had improved. A few days ago when I went home, she p...“Dad, you also run a company. Which intern at your company drives a million-dollar car to work Gu Jingyan last time he took on a project worth hundreds of millions, he also drove a Mercedes-Benz worth over six hundred thousand to meet clients. Why does she need a million-dollar car as the minimum requirement here”

Joe Hsuehsheng was a bit irritated, "Every company is different. You spend your days in comfort and pampering, being taken care of at home. What do you know"

"Being raised by the Gu family" Qiao Ruo Xing twitched her lips, "Back then when you advised me to give up my job, it wasn't like this. Besides, there are more than just me being raised by the Gu family."

"Slap!" Qiao Xusheng slapped the table, his anger surging, "I just asked to borrow your car, why are you bringing up old grudges"

Qiao Siyao quickly soothed Qiao Xusheng, "Dad, your blood pressure is high, don't get angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought this up. Sister doesn't want to lend it, just forget about it. Don't be angry with sister."

The more she persuaded him, the less Qiao Xusheng looked upon her as his own daughter. "Look at Yao Yao," he said, "she's younger than you and even more sensible!"

Dinner was a disaster. As they were leaving, Qiao Siyao put two boxes of white fungus bird's nest on her car and said through the window, "Sister, your brother-in-law didn't come because of work, did he"

Jo Jo glanced at her, "What do you want to say"

Josie Yao smiled, "A car doesn't have only one owner, and neither does a man."

After turning off the lights for her, he turned and left.

Apartment.

Tang Xiaoxiao weighed the two gift boxes in her hands and turned to say, “These must weigh five or six pounds. Your father is really going all out to please your mother-in-law’s side. You never told him that every time he sends a gift, your mother-in-law doesn't even look at it”

"Don't you think he'll still be sent even if you tell him"

There were several TV screens playing Yao Ke Xin's drama, but I couldn't find any shows I wanted to watch. Qiao Ruoxing simply turned off the television. "He'll only think the gift wasn't good enough and will send a better one next time,"

Then what are you going to do with this

Qiao Ruoxing didn't even know herself.

Joe Xusheng didn't trust her. Every time he sent her something, he would discreetly ask Gu Jingyan if she had received it.

Or give it to Gu Jingyan and have him send it to his mother

Thinking about the tense atmosphere when they met during the day, she felt a pang of regret. Perhaps she should have been a little more tolerant back then. What if Gu Jingyan held a grudge and wouldn't help her cover things up It seems she needs to be more careful in the future and not go too far.

She hesitated for a moment, but still mustered the courage to call Gu Jingyan.

The phone rang for just a short while before it was answered. Just as she was about to speak, the call disconnected.

She initially thought it was a mistaken touch and swatted back.

The result is the same as last time, just hung up as soon as I answered.

After repeating it five or six times, Qiao Jiao finally realized that Gu Jingyan was doing this on purpose!

Damn it! So vengeful!

Qiaoqiao Xing would certainly not give up so easily. She would rather work for Gu Jingyan than deal with Zhong Meilan.

So she sent Gu Jingyan a text message: Mr. Gu, are you there

Two minutes later, Gu Jingyan coldly replied with two words—not here.

Qiao Ruoxing ignored the two words and continued: My dad gave me two boxes of Bai Songlu. I will send them to your company tomorrow, and you can bring them to your mom.

Gu Jingyan quickly replied to her, still with two words—no help.

Qiao Ruoxing patiently bargained the terms, “Six to four in your favor. Six for you, four for me.”

Gu Jingyan replied with two words again - "Heh heh."

Qiao Ruo Xing gritted her teeth and made the biggest concession, "Three to seven, alright You get seven, I get three. Can't make any further compromises!"

This time, Gu Jingyan remained silent for a long time. Just as Qiao Ruo Xing was struggling with the dilemma on the 28th floor, the phone rang. Gu Jingyan called back.

She picked up her phone and answered it.

Gu Jingyan's clear and gentle voice slowly entered his ears, "Tomorrow, accompany me to welcome Jingyang back."

"No—"

Not a single syllable was lost, Gu Jingyan's voice came again, "I will help you."

The rest of the sound was swallowed by Qiao Xing, who uttered a feeble "good" .

After finishing speaking, both sides fell silent.

This was the first time they had spoken so calmly since she moved out that day, and suddenly there was a sense of awkwardness.

Gu Jingyan is actually a pretty good marriage candidate.

He is handsome, capable, and besides being cold and occasionally sharp-tongued, he has no vices. Although their families are from different backgrounds, he has always been respectful to Qiao's family, never treating her poorly in terms of food, clothing, or shelter, except for not loving her.

Compared to those wealthy young masters who are surrounded by fame, fortune, and scandals every day, Gu Jingyan only has an ambiguous ex-girlfriend. Is it really necessary to get to the point of divorce

She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, a familiar female voice came from the phone, "Ayan, who's calling"

Qiao Ruo Xing was startled, then suddenly chuckled to herself. She casually said, "See you tomorrow," before hanging up the phone.

Why does she have to choose between worse and worst when it comes to partners An ambiguous ex-girlfriend is enough to destroy this marriage that was visible from the start.tographer"The man chuckled, "No, it's just a hobby. I see you're so sensitive to flashlights, has something happened to you before"Qiao Ruo Xing wasn't someone who could easily strike up a conversatio...
