When they arrived at the airport, Yin Qinghuan was already done with the formalities when she saw Gu Wenliu waiting for her to board the plane.

"Director Gu, are you sure we're going to France this late at night?"

"Yes, someone is already waiting. Let's board the plane."

Someone was waiting? Other than Gu Wenliu and her, was there anyone else who wanted to go?

Bewildered, he followed her onto the plane. The seat was in first class.

She saw Fang Xu at first glance, and her heart tightened. Knowing where Fang Xu was meant —

"Director Qi."

The drowsiness had completely dissipated. Yin Qinghuan felt that her chances of meeting Qi Yan Shang had skyrocketed.

Qi Yan cast a sidelong glance at her, but remained silent.

The woman tilted her head and whispered to Gu Wen Liu: "Director Gu, didn't you say we were going to participate in the design exhibition?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"…"

Actually, what Yin Qinghuan wanted to ask was, why would Qi Yan Shang also go? After all, he rarely cared about S.T. 's work, unless it was a design exhibition of extraordinary significance.

"What kind of design exhibition?"

"Sunany's Personal Jewelry Design Show."

Sunny! Yin Qinghuan's eyes lit up as the corner of her mouth lifted into an unconcealable smile. That's right, it had already been three years.

Just as she was about to find a seat in the back row, Gu Wen said, "This is my seat, go sit next to Boss Qi."

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

Late at night, at the Qiao residence.

"Dad, I want to hold your birthday party next week at home."

Joanne was already preparing for her father's fiftieth birthday party next week, and she wanted to invite some of the more charismatic people in the design community to take the opportunity to get to know each other.

"Your sister hasn't been found yet, so I'm not in the mood to think about it."

Father Qiao coughed a few more times after he finished speaking, but his complexion was not good.

"Dad, you don't only have a daughter and sister. I just entered the S.T. I really need connections."

"You're in the S.T. Isn't it enough to rely on your sister?"

When Joanne heard this, she pretended to be helpless and forced a smile, "Dad, do you know how ugly your sister is being told by the staff when she's in the S.T.? Because of her, those people have also come to mock me. Because of the fact that Qiao Yino, who eloped and ran away from the marriage with a man, is my blood sister! "

"Don't you dare say that about her!"

Father Qiao was furious. He slammed the table and stood up with a stern expression.

"It's not like I want to say it, it's just that everyone says it! If she was innocent, why was she hiding now and not daring to come back? Since the Qi Family has already broken off their engagement, the disgrace she has caused the Qiao Family wasn't enough! "

Joanne didn't bother to look at his face anymore and rashly went back to her room.

His heart was filled with unwillingness. Why was his father still protecting Qiao Yonuo at such a time? No matter how well he did, no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to shake off the shadow of being an illegitimate daughter who wasn't taken seriously?

Qiao Yonuo, I hate you. You'd better die outside and not come back for the rest of your life!

The cell phone vibrated. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Joanne hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hello, Second Miss Qiao."

This sound...

"What? Don't you remember me?" On the other side of the phone, the man's rough voice sounded cold.

Joanne couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "I've already given you the money. Why are you still calling me?"

She knew who he was and what deal she had made with him. But the deal had ended a month ago. Was he trying to threaten her?

"The money is too little. I want another million to cover my mouth."

One million! Hearing this number, she only felt that it was ridiculous.

"Are you trying to blackmail me now?!"

"When Second Miss Qiao told me to kidnap your sister, she did not speak with such an attitude."
