C69

He said that he wasn't looking for Qiao Yino, but who was it? On the day of his birthday, he had driven to the cemetery early because she might have appeared there.

He was the only one who could do this kind of thing.

Why hadn't she seen him do this before when she was here?

Unfortunately, now that she was dead, he started looking for her.

"You can go."

Qi Yan Shang didn't answer her question in the end. Only he knew if he missed her.

Qiao Yinuo did not understand, nor did Yin Qinghuan. In the future, he didn't want to understand it either.

The woman nodded obediently and turned around to leave. The voice of the man behind her came at a leisurely pace.

"I don't like lies."

Yin Qinghuan halted her steps and stood still. Without turning her head, she replied, "No one likes to lie."

However, lies were everywhere in this world.

We can't help it, because sometimes it's a habit to lie to yourself.

In other words, he was deceiving himself.

When she went downstairs, Steward Zheng looked at her with suspicion. As for why she didn't stay the night, a trace of happiness soon appeared in his eyes.

He knew that Sir was not such a casual person. Even if he was not Miss Qiao, he would not have any other women.

With a glance, Yin Qinghuan could see through Steward Zheng's thoughts. She could only let out a helpless' Ah '.

Indeed, there was nothing he could do about it.

Steward Zheng was prejudiced against the other women in the villa because of Qiao Yunuo. She did not know if she should laugh at Housekeeper Zheng for being good to her in the past, or cry. At this moment, when Housekeeper Zheng looked at her, his eyes were filled with contempt.

Just like Ah Qian, Qiao Yinuo was fine. Yin Qinghuan … Nothing is good.

"Steward Zheng, don't worry. I won't come back here in the future."

She didn't like this place.

With that, the woman left without looking back. Steward Zheng just frowned and raised his head to look in the direction of the building, but there was no movement.

On the way back, he finally managed to get a taxi. After all, it was already this late and they were in such a remote area, so there really wasn't much traffic.

Just as she got on the taxi, Yin Qinghuan received a text message.

[Chu Family's Cooperation, Dismiss the contract immediately, Reward for the penalty fee.]

She, "…"

What does texting mean?

There was no room for discussion on this matter.

Qi Yan Qi was playing with her, and she immediately became playing with Chu Huai. This double-edged arrow is really despicable.

She had reason to suspect that Qi Yanzhong was deliberately wasting her time so that she could lose the exam competition.

Last time, wasn't it the same?

Also, because Chu Huai was her lover before, she used this collaboration to incite the conflict between her and Chu Huai.

Was he learning from Gu Wen this kind of wicked thing?

Thinking about the second assessment three days later, the woman sighed and thought that she should deal with the Chu Clan's cooperation first. Otherwise, if Chu Huai's counter was set up, the losses would be even greater.

The next day, when she reached the S.T., she wanted to contact him, but before she even sat down, she heard someone talking beside her. Her voice was filled with surprise.

"Did you know that Joanne had a car accident last night?"

"Is that so? Didn't you get better yesterday afternoon? Why … "

"I heard that when we went back, the two cars had a collision. It was pretty serious, and we haven't even woken up yet."

There were only a few people from the design department. Everyone else had heard what they said, including Yi Chen. They all looked to each other in dismay. They were extremely shocked.

Yin Qinghuan's expression froze for a moment before she slowly regained her wits. She did not say anything.

At this critical moment, there was a car accident?

This made her think of what Yin Xiangze had said earlier. If Joanne was a hindrance to her advancement, he would help her deal with it.

The two words "process," now sounded like it was filled with fear.

Was it an accident or was it someone's fault?

"Then wouldn't she be …" The voice of one of the assistants became softer and softer as he spoke. He then shifted his gaze to Yin Qinghuan and Yi Chen.

The other assistant gave them the same look.

Why does it feel like a conspiracy?

Nowadays, people have very complicated thoughts. After all, in this sensitive period, Joanne was in a car accident. It didn't matter if the situation was serious or not. If she couldn't attend the assessment, she would be considered to have given up automatically.

In that case, she and Yicheng were the ones who benefited from it.

Logically speaking, Gu Wenliu already knew about this matter. However, even after work in the afternoon, he still hadn't heard the notification of a temporary postponement of the examination.

Does that mean that if the assessment continues, the possibility of Joanne being eliminated due to her absence is very high?

She had arrived at the hospital at 7: 30 in the evening, and when she found the ward, she saw Father Qiao's figure in the corridor.

He hadn't seen his father since his fiftieth birthday banquet. At this moment, he was standing there with a walking stick in his hand. The worry in his eyes was so obvious.

Yin Qinghuan stood at her original position and did not move any further. She looked at her father with a sour expression on her face.

He was a good father, both to Qiao Yonuo and to Joanne. He couldn't imagine what his father would do if he found out that he had died.

Qiao Yonuo had only blamed his father once since he was young.

It was not that he had brought Joanne with him after his mother's death. Instead … He had promised to take her to live in the seaside villa that his mother had loved.

However, in just a few months' time, he had brought back Joanne from a foreign land and also brought Joano back to the Qiao family from the outskirts.

Later on, there was no one that lived in that villa by the sea. However, the villa was not sold either.

Unknowingly, Yin Qinghuan had already arrived at Father Qiao's side. She called out in a low voice, "Uncle Qiao."

Father Qiao turned his head to look at her. He was not in a good mental state and the servants by his side had to stand guard, afraid that he would fall down.

"How is Annie?"

"He hasn't woken up yet."

Although he came out of the emergency room alive, he had been unconscious for almost a day and there was no sign of him waking up.

"Accident... "How did it happen?"

She thought, Father Qiao has already been to the police station. What is the conclusion given by the police?

"It's an accident. The driver got drunk."

Wine? Does anyone drink in broad daylight?

It was most likely related to Yin Xiangze. That man was way too ruthless. Did he still have any laws in his heart?

She hated Joanne, but she had no intention of killing her. Her path was just an excuse for Yin Xiangze. The real reason should be because of that night.

After all, only a dead man could keep a secret.

Father Qiao's heart had indeed been worn out from this accident. He only had two daughters, one missing and the other still unconscious. What sin had he committed that he would have to endure such pain despite being so old?

"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, Annie will be fine."

Even as he consoled her, he did not see any signs of Father Qiao relaxing. There were only wrinkles on his tightly knitted brows.

He suddenly looked much older. 'Did it start with Jojino's disappearance?'

Yin Qinghuan didn't need to think to know why the Qiao Family didn't send anyone else to look for Qiao Yino. It must have been something Joanne said that made Father Joe give up the idea of finding his daughter.

Dad, if you find out one day, can I bear what happened to me that night? You're also your daughter, why are you in such a rush? The most painful person would be your father.

Yin Qinghuan's gaze turned towards the unconscious woman in the ICU.

Joanne, your crimes should not be judged by death, but by law and truth.

After staying outside the ward with Father Qiao for two hours, it was only then that Joanne started to show signs of waking up. The doctor quickly rushed over and did all the tests. After confirming that the person was awake, he let the family in.

Father Qiao entered by himself while Yin Qinghuan stood outside the window, watching the scene from the inside.

Seeing her father so worried about Joanne, who could understand the pain in her heart?

Joanne was still weak. She wore an oxygen mask and could not speak, but her gaze fell on the woman standing outside the glass partition.

Then, Yin Qinghuan saw that the frail girl's eyes widened slightly as she looked in her direction.

Yin Qinghuan knitted her brows as she sensed that someone was beside her. Turning her head, she was stunned for a moment.

When did Qi Yan Shang come?

The man's beautiful eyes looked at Joanne who was in the ward. His thin lips curled up into a faint smile. This smile was probably a form of sympathy and heartache to Joanne.

Look, a man is a woman's motivation. This saying was absolutely correct. Looking at Joanne, as long as Qi Yan Shang came to see her every day, he would be satisfied.

When Yin Qinghuan saw this, she no longer needed her here. Since she was fine, she might as well wake up.

She turned and walked past the man, picked up the bag on the bench in the hallway, and started to leave.

"I'll send you off."

Qi Yanqi withdrew his gaze from the ward and turned to look at Yin Qinghuan.

Joanne's eyes were still on the man, she thought. If this fellow just left with her like that, what would happen? Joanne would probably not be able to get up in one breath.

"No need, you should go in and accompany her."

It's not that I'm blind, I didn't see Boss Qi coming. The patient who was on the verge of death had suddenly become full of energy and vitality.

But who is Qi Yan Shang? Would he listen to you?

As soon as she was out of the hospital, he followed her.

"Get in."

His car was parked in the parking lot outside the hospital. She didn't drive, but lowered her head and thought for a moment. She also wanted to talk to him, so she got in the car.

Qi Yan Shang didn't lie to her this time, this was indeed the way back to the Yin family, he really intended to send her back.

The woman, who had been silent for more than ten minutes, finally opened her mouth and said, "Can you let Gu Wenliu postpone the second assessment?"

She didn't use a proper name here, nor did she call Gu Wenliu Director Gu. After saying these words, she held him with a resolute attitude that he must agree.

"Why?"

Qi Yan Shang didn't look at her, and the car didn't stop either. It sped past them on the highway, as if what she just said was just some meaningless nonsense.

"Don't you feel sorry for Joanne? If she didn't delay the examination this time, then she was destined to be eliminated. You're coming to see her tonight, so you should care about her. "
