C47

Yin Qinghuan stopped and did not turn around.

"Wanna be fired, huh?"

The meaning behind his words was, if she were to leave this room now, would he really let her leave S.T.?

"Even Director Gu can't fire a S.T. designer so easily …"

"He can't, I can."

Gu Wenliu was her superior, and he was Gu Wenliu's superior. Well, that's easy to understand.

Yin Qinghuan was speechless. The identity of a CEO was indeed different. It was simply hegemonic.

Restraining her resentment from deep within her heart, the woman forced a smile that was not really a pleasant one and turned around to look at that person.

"Director Qi, I was wrong."

Wrong? Qi Yanfei's thin lips twitched, and her voice revealed a hint of teasing.

"It's a good thing you know when you're wrong. I forgive you."

I can't stand the words' I forgive you '. The woman bit her lips. This man is really outrageous.

"Come here."

He poured a glass of water and sat down on the sofa. The translucent glass reflected the dim light. Yin Qinghuan walked over and stood in front of the sofa. Looking at the time, it really was very late.

The next moment, her wrist was grabbed, and she fell into his arms.

"Angry, eh?"

A warm aura lingered around her ears. Yin Qinghuan raised her eyes and met his dark and deep eyes. She shook her head, saying that she didn't have any.

How could she dare to be angry? In front of him, she was just a punching bag.

"Lies." Qi Yan Shang's smile deepened as she lifted her lower jaw with her bony fingers.

"Don't tell me the person who was angry wasn't you, Director Qi?"

That morning, who was it that drove her out of the car, nearly causing her to be late for the examination?

"Because I targeted the former S.T. 's chief designer, I wanted to surpass her. So, Director Qi, you're angry."

Yin Qinghuan really did not want to believe this fact. However, it seemed that it was indeed like this.

"A smart woman should know her place."

"Don't you want smart women to have dreams?"

Do you understand dreams? Perhaps he was already standing in a very high position, so the word dreams did not exist for him.

But for her, it was different. One must know that even if she became the lead designer for the S.T., there was always someone better than her. After leaving the city, after leaving the world, she was still nothing.

"You don't have that strength."

Qi Yan Shang narrowed his eyes. Dreams were one thing, but strength was another.

No strength? Yin Qinghuan gently smiled as she shook her head. She knew why Qi Yan Shang would say that.

Her design work during the previous exam was indeed … He was almost eliminated. If it wasn't for Han Jia Qi, Yin Qing would probably be in a good mood.

Thus, in the eyes of everyone, Yin Qinghuan couldn't even compare to Qiao Anniang and Yi Chen, much less Qiao Yino.

I'm afraid that the next person to leave the S.T.

"I can cultivate my strength, but I haven't even decided on the main topic of the second exam. I still have time to slowly learn it." Maybe... What about when you can make people look at you in a new light? "

"Time?"

Could it be that she didn't know that the time she spoke of was merely three months?

After three months, it would be the international jewellery design competition.

"You asked me to drive here for five hours just to mock my incompetence?"

Then Qi Yan Shang, you're really bored.

"What do you think a man can do when he calls a woman into a hotel, eh?"

As he spoke, his fingers gently caressed her lips, gently caressing her lips. Under the dim light, he looked extremely alluring.

Yin Qinghuan knew that this was the case. She wasn't being unreasonable, it was just —

"But I'm really tired. I'm so sleepy."

The woman pouted coquettishly.

"It's all your fault for tormenting me like this." While she was complaining, her restless hands reached up to the man's neck and she let out a sigh of relief, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Qi Yan couldn't deny that this woman's coquettish attitude was indeed tempting. Moreover, even though she was not like that woman at all, she could still see the shadow of that person.

Letting go of the big palm on her waist, his eyes darkened, and there was no longer any trace of lust in them.

"Since you're tired, go rest. Come with me to a party tomorrow."

Thus, he had come to An City to attend the royal ball.

In the past, when Qi Yan was present at such an occasion, the women around him didn't seem to have a fixed number. For example, last time, it was that new national actress … Speaking of that national actress, Lin Qi, Yin Qinghuan couldn't help but tease him, "I watched the news two days ago. I said that the female celebrity, Lin Qi, was harassed by some extreme male fans. Does Director Qi know about this?"

"Should I know?"

"Isn't Lin Qi your woman? I thought you were accompanying her to comfort her weak heart for the past few days."

Qi Yanzhong smirked and said, "Who told you she was my woman?"

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

Who else needed to say such a thing? Isn't this what everyone knows? Qi Yan, you were abroad the night before our engagement ceremony for that woman.

She shook her head with a faint smile and didn't continue speaking.

After returning to her own room, Yin Qinghuan was extremely sleepy. She lay down on her bed and quickly fell asleep.

Qiao family.

Joanne went into the next room and looked at the spotless house, which the servants cleaned every day, as if someone else had come back to stay here.

But Qiao Yino had been missing for two whole months.

Shiva had previously said that Qiao Yino was here, but he hadn't come to the S.T. So Joanne didn't know if that was true or not.

"Qiao Yino, I don't want you back at all."

Looking at the photo frame of the woman on the table, Joanne mumbled to herself.

"You know, I passed the first assessment, and they're all inferior to me. I was thinking, if you were at the examination venue and you saw how outstanding I am, what kind of expression would you have? "

Perhaps it would be a fake happiness, feeling "proud" of his sister.

Everyone said, you're good to me. But who would have known that if it weren't for your existence, I, Joanne, would be even better.

"Qiao Yino, I will definitely win. When you return, you will be nothing. "

When Father Qiao came out of his study, he saw that the light in the room was on.

"Yino, did you come back?"

Pushing the door open and entering, Ben's agitated look instantly crumbled upon seeing that the person inside wasn't the Qiao Yu-Nuo that he desired.

"Dad, it's me."

Joanne naturally noticed the change in her father's expression and sneered in her heart. It wasn't Joano but her, Joanne. Disappointed, right?

"What are you doing in your sister's room?"

"I …" Joanne looked down at the picture frame in her hand and pretended to be sad. "I miss my sister. She has always been kind to me, and now that I haven't come back in so long, of course I'll miss her. "

Father Joe nodded when he heard this. Maybe he shouldn't think so much of Anne.

Although Annie's mother's character was bad, but since she was a child by his side, she had always been docile and sincere to others.

"Dad, do you think that sister chose to disappear the night before the engagement because …" She doesn't want to marry her brother-in-law. No, it's Mr. Wei. "

"What do you know?"

Joanne lowered her head in silence, nodded, then shook her head.

"Tell me if you know anything." Father Qiao had already sensed that his daughter was hiding something, but she still opened her mouth — —

"Actually, my sister told me that she had someone she liked, but it wasn't Mr. Wei."

When Father Qiao heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he urged her to continue.

"In those years when she was studying abroad, she fell in love with someone else. Furthermore … He even had a physical relationship with that person. But because the other person doesn't deserve her identity, she broke up with that man before she returned home. "

"Impossible!"

Father Qiao did not believe that his daughter, whom he had carefully nurtured, would have an affair with a man before marriage.

"It's true. Actually, before the engagement was announced, I saw my sister secretly go out at night, and only later did I find out that it was that person who had come looking for me. The night before the engagement, I saw my sister packing up. She found me and told me everything. She said you wouldn't agree that she was with that man,

But true love cannot be stopped, so that's why I chose to flee the marriage. "

These words had undoubtedly thoroughly infuriated Father Qiao.

He did not believe that Yu-Nuo would do such a thing. He always believed that there was a reason why she did not appear at the engagement banquet.

However, this was a fact that he did not expect.

"Dad, it's because your expectations for your sister are too high that you're giving her so much pressure, making her feel like you're sacrificing your love to exchange for benefits. If it were me, I would go courageously after love. "

"But before, when she was talking to Qi Yan …" Father Qiao was still unwilling to believe what he had just heard.

"People change, and Mr. Wei doesn't like his sister either. Otherwise, why would both sides miss the engagement banquet?"

Father Qiao was momentarily unable to accept this. He felt his chest tighten as he used his walking stick to take two steps back.

"Then do you know where she is with that man?"

Joanne shook her head, her voice filled with tears. "I don't know, but I won't be back for a year or two. Dad, don't send anyone else to look for her. This way, sister will hide even further. Maybe when she finds out we don't blame her, she'll come back with the man. "

"Don't blame her? She's too confused. I'm too disappointed that she would do such a thing! "

Father Qiao felt that he had failed once he learned of the 'truth'. The daughter that he had always been proud of had actually done such a foolish thing, causing the Qiao family to be shamed.

"Since she has run away, let her not come back! The Qiao family does not have such an unfilial daughter! "

Yin Qinghuan suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black.

He turned on the light and looked at the time. It was only five o'clock and the sky was still dark.

He poured himself a cup of cold water and drank it before calming down. He didn't know what was going on just now, but he felt so stifled in his heart.

He opened the curtain and looked out the window. It was early in the morning in An City, but there was not a single ray of light in his eyes.

How long could she last, or rather —

How long would it take her to succeed?

There was no evidence that Yin Xiangze had killed her. That night, all the surveillance cameras in the hotel had been destroyed, and there was no trace of Yin Xiangze's corpse. There was also no evidence against him.

Closing her eyes, she tried to remember what had happened that night. She felt like she had forgotten something.

That day, when she got in the car and found out that something was wrong with the driver, she wanted to call for help, but she was too weak to hold her phone properly.

Even when he was struggling under Yin Xiangze, his hands and feet were still weak.

— Sis, are you going out? I made you tea.

— Well, get the engagement gown, will you come with me?

— I won't go. I'll make an appointment with a friend later. Drink this tea. It's my first time making it, I don't know if it tastes good or not.

The light in Yin Qinghuan's eyes trembled. She suddenly realized something.
