Chapter 156

The door to the balcony was not closed, and one could vaguely see the dark blue sky filled with stars.

The man’s figure was enveloped by the halo of the Tall Garden Lamp, as if he was a god descending from the sky, not tainted by the slightest trace of the smoke and fire of the mortal world.

Having been used to the dust of the mortal world, one could not help but sigh. When God created all things, he was still biased.

The moment the engine sounded, Qiao man opened her eyes. She sat up and did not turn on the lamp. Instead, she looked at the dim yellow light coming from the corridor under the crack of the door.

It was a quiet night, and the man’s footsteps from far to near were exceptionally clear. He seemed to be making a phone call, and from the occasional words he said, it could be heard that he was looking for Gu Xichen.

When he passed by the door, he seemed to stop for a moment, and then a few seconds later, he lifted his feet and walked into the study opposite.

After waiting for about twenty minutes and confirming that he would not return to the room tonight, Qiao man lay down and slept, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a divorce was simple, it still had to go through the procedures.

He should be quite busy right now. He had to deal with the media, take care of Ji Han’s emotions, and even look for Gu Xichen… …

More importantly, how to balance the relationship between the JI family and the Gu family. The JI family was a red-blooded family, and they had connections. The Gu family started from the underworld, and they were a deviant.

Also, Gu Xichen was Gu Feng’s adopted son, and Ji Han was Gu Feng’s biological daughter. They were brother and sister in name, but something like this had happened… …

No matter how you looked at it, it was disgraceful.

Although in his eyes, she had always been a woman who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and could not be seen through her eyes, at a time like this, she would not be stupid enough to get involved.

Ji Yunshen walked into the study room and turned on the light. He saw the divorce agreement on the desk with a black pen pressed on it.

At the bottom right corner, Qiao Man’s name was signed.

The elegant handwriting was just like the feeling she gave people, gentle and clean.

He took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket and lit it up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while before putting the divorce agreement back.

Then, he opened the drawer secret compartment of the desk, took out a pistol, and left the blue mountain villa in a hurry.

Qiao man was still in a daze. When she heard the sound of the car engine, she was disturbed and turned around. Then, she continued to sleep soundly.

…

The next morning, Zhang Sao came knocking on the door and said that there was a call for her downstairs.

She scratched her messy long hair and was a little angry. After a while, she shuffled her slippers and ran to answer the phone.

It was Lin Yan. After not seeing her for more than ten days, her voice seemed to be more tired than the last time they met.

“Man man, I’m going to pick a wedding dress today. Can you accompany me? ”

Shouldn’t two people who were supposed to enter the marriage hall choose this kind of thing together?

But… For people like them who were born in a wealthy family and had too many powerless people who had no choice, that was just a wild hope …

A wild hope that only existed in fairy tales.

“okay, see you later. ”

Qiao man hung up the phone and hurriedly went upstairs to wash up and change her clothes. When she went downstairs, Zhang Sao placed the breakfast that she had prepared on the dining table and asked her to come over to eat.

She walked over to take a piece of toast and took a few bites. After drinking a few mouthfuls of pure milk, she ran out and said as she ran, “Zhang Sao, I can’t make it in time, I’ll leave first. ”

When she reached the entrance of the villa, she noticed that there were quite a number of people standing there in black suits and sunglasses. They looked like bodyguards.

She had just walked out when someone walked over and said respectfully, “Madam, President Ji instructed us to protect your safety. ”

Qiao man knew that Ji Yunshen had put on a pretense of protecting her, but he was actually waiting for Gu Xichen to come and find her.

Since he suspected that Gu Xichen was defending her, then he should have appeared in front of her.

However, wasn’t he overestimating her charm a little too much?

Putting aside the fact that Gu Xichen was now in the black and white circles and that she was already Mrs. Ji, Gu Xichen would not even spare her a second glance.

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you guys. ”

Qiao Man reported the address. When she arrived at the location that Lin Yan had mentioned, Lin Yan was clearly stunned when she saw this posture.

“What did you do to Ji Yunshen? Did you need him to use international mercenaries? ”

If Lin Yan had not reminded her, she would not have paid much attention to it. These bodyguards were mostly veterans who had participated in the Gulf War in Afghanistan. They were known as the super luxurious line-up in the private bodyguard industry.

It was said that they were so expensive that it was jaw-dropping. Moreover, they were clearly priced.

“The matter between Ji Han and Gu Xichen… you should have heard about it, right? ”

Lin Yan nodded silently. This was probably the reason why she came to accompany her to choose a wedding dress today, and not Fu Qingshan to accompany her to choose a wedding dress!

Now that things had come to this point, they had no choice but to get married. Even if Fu Qingshan put on an act, it was impossible for him not to come.

UNLESS… … something important happened …

And this important matter was probably Ji Han.

“Yan ‘er, we are indeed the best of sisters. Even our taste in choosing men is so terrible. ”

Lin Yan was amused by her words. Then, she held hands and began the task of choosing a wedding dress.

During the process of trying on the wedding dress, the two of them inevitably talked about her eyes, and also about her and Ji Yunshen’s marriage crisis.

“divorce? Have you thought about it? ”

Lin Yan’s gaze shifted from the mirror to Qiao Man sitting on the Sofa behind her, and she frowned slightly “Your grandfather’s necklace hasn’t been bought back yet. There’s also Auntie’s huge treatment fee. Now that you don’t have money or a place to stay, you still have to save up all your energy to deal with the Xiao Sisters. Are you sure that a divorce would be better? ”

Qiao man crossed her legs and rested her Chin on her elbows. “It won’t be better, but it won’t be worse either. ”

“What exactly are you planning? ” Lin Yan’s voice was filled with worry. “Man man, don’t be angry with yourself. You’RE A legal couple. You get along with each other day and night. At the end of the day, the closer you are, the better… ”

“Yan ‘er. ” Qiao man stood up and helped her tidy up the wedding dress at the back. She interrupted her, “I don’t have confidence. I don’t want to gamble anymore. ”

Lin Yan nodded. She understood Qiao Man’s dilemma and pain. After thinking about it carefully, wasn’t her current situation the same?

“This skirt is a little short. Go change into that one and see which one has the best effect! ” Qiao man looked at Lin Yan in the mirror and smiled. “But… ”

Lin Yan was already a little nervous. She pulled the skirt on both sides with both hands and looked at Qiao man behind her through the mirror. “But what? ”

“But… I think Fu Qingshan will definitely be amazed when he sees you in your wedding dress! ”

Beautiful, really beautiful.

There had always been a saying in the celebrity circle of Lin City: The upper-class socialite, Qiao man, was like a plague in Lin city, while the socialite, Lin Yan, was like a spring rain in Lin city.

One was enchanting and charming, while the other was sweet and charming.

Therefore, no one believed that two beauties could become friends.

However, not only did they become friends, but they were also life-and-death friends.

Although they had experienced a lot in the process, the longer it lasted, the more profound it became.

They had merged into their bones and blood. They could not be separated, and neither could they be separated.

Lin Yan’s face was flushed red. She avoided Qiao Man’s gaze and hurriedly went to the changing room to try on another wedding dress.

Qiao man shook her head. The so-called Love was all about the bystanders who were in the middle of the situation!

Today, Qiao Man wore a pair of new shoes. She was a little tired after standing for a long time, so she sat back on the Sofa.

Just as she sat down, she felt a chill on her neck. Something like a knife was placed on her neck.

Her body stiffened and she did not dare to move. “I know it’s not easy to survive these days, but if you promise not to hurt me, I can give you money. ”

The man’s breath was close to her ear, and his voice was low and hoarse. “Oh? How much can you give me? or rather, Mrs. Ji, give me a price. I’ll see how much you’re worth. ”

Although she had not seen him for a long time, she still recognized his voice.

Gu Xichen… …

This man who had chased her for more than three years with Huo Qingtong had once been mistaken for her personal bodyguard.

“Gu Xichen, Ji Yunshen has already set up an inescapable net. Are you stupid enough to walk into it? ”

This was the changing room, and there were mercenaries guarding all the entrances and exits. Qiao man really could not imagine how he had gotten in.

“Haven’t you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? ” He looked at her. “But even if I get caught for you, I’m willing. ”

Qiao Man’s beautiful eyes were tinged with a hint of a smile. She turned her head and looked at the man she had not seen for about two or three years. “Are you sure? ”

“Why? Do you feel that I’m very handsome and regret it a little? Do you want to return to my broad, warm, and stable embrace? ”

Gu Xichen’s breath blew over from time to time, bringing with it the clear smell of tobacco. She frowned, as if she had heard a funny joke “Young Master Gu, are you delusional? Four years ago, you pursued me tirelessly, but I was never moved. How can you talk about regret now? ”

After saying that, she raised her hand and pushed away the knife that was pressed against her neck.

“But… ” she stood up and faced him. “We haven’t seen each other for a few years. Your ability to bully women has grown. ”

Gu Xichen smiled and played with the sharp knife in his hand. “Ji Yunshen has no principles regarding Ji Han’s matter. He has even lost his cool. He’s so flustered that it makes people think that he has lost his iq. Don’t tell me you’ve lost your Iq too! ”

Just as she had expected, Gu Xichen did not have any wicked thoughts about Ji Han. Something must have gone wrong.

As his thoughts raced, Gu Xichen’s voice sounded again. “I… was drugged, and she happened to be lying next to me… ”

So, everything went according to plan.

“Then how do you plan to solve it? You can’t just keep hiding like this! Ji Yunshen will kill you! ”

Gu Xichen sat down and leaned against the back of the SOFA. His entire person was lazy and casual. “This kind of unbearable secret of a wealthy family will always end with a man marrying a woman. ”

“then… who did it? It doesn’t make sense. Ji Han loves JI yunshen to the bone, and you don’t like Ji Han… ”

Gu Xichen shrugged, as if he didn’t know.

He had only wanted to talk about the Gu family, and even the hotel was on Fang Jinglun’s territory. He didn’t expect that something would happen.

As the two of them were talking, Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan’s voices came from outside the door, as if they were asking the bodyguards where she and Lin Yan were.

Qiao Man’s face turned pale. If the two of them saw Gu Xichen, there would definitely be a bloodbath.

“leave quickly, I’ll hold him off for you. ”

Gu Xichen smiled and planted a kiss on the flustered woman’s face. “although this hurts my pride as a man, I’ll leave first to save my life. Keep your phone open, I’ll call you again tomorrow to set up a place to catch up! ”

Qiao man wiped her face with all her might and glared at Gu Xichen, who had left in a hurry. She was extremely angry.

After Lin Yan changed into her wedding dress, she walked out almost at the same time as the two men, but in two different directions.

“Is it nice to look at? ”

“where’s Lin Yan? ”

They spoke in unison. One was from Lin Yan and the other was from Fu Qingshan.

The wedding dress that Lin Yan was wearing was the most popular type of starry wedding dress in the fashion world. The light here was slightly darker and warmer, making her entire person look like the stars in the dark night, hazy and dazzling.

Fu Qingshan was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Yan in a daze. Lin Yan obviously didn’t expect him to suddenly appear. She was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands.

Ji Yunshen took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and handed it to Fu Qingshan. “Has Gu Xichen been here? ”

Although he didn’t look at Qiao Man, everyone present knew that he was asking Qiao Man.

Qiao man tidied her long black hair and shook her head naturally. “I didn’t see him. ”

“Oh? ”

Ji Yunshen lit the cigarette in his hand and snapped his fingers. A bodyguard handed over a tablet with everything in the fitting room on it.

This included Gu Xichen’s ambiguous posture when he was close to her ear and the affectionate kiss before he left.

“Didn’t he say before he left that he would look for you to reminisce about old times? Mrs. Ji, you’re so young, yet you have such a bad memory. ”

Ji Yunshen walked towards her. Lin Yan hurriedly pulled Qiao man behind her and raised her head to ask “Ji Yunshen, so what if man man saw him? Didn’t you hear? He was drugged. Instead of dwelling on this, why don’t you find out who drugged him? ”

“GET OUT OF MY WAY! ” Ji Yunshen’s tone had already fallen to the freezing point.

Lin Yan did not move. She stared at him without blinking. “I won’t. ”

Ji Yunshen took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and said calmly, “old Fu, do you want me to personally make a move on your woman? Why are you still standing there? PULL HER AWAY! ”

Fu Qingshan had not walked out of the stunning scene just now. When he heard that, he froze. He walked over to pull Lin Yan away, but she frowned and avoided him.

“Lin Yan, stop messing around. ”

Lin Yan looked at Fu Qingshan and said word by word, “How am I messing around? You said that you couldn’t accompany me to try on my wedding dress and pick out my wedding ring. I’ve already been very good-natured and endured it. You’re still saying that I’m messing around? Fu Qingshan, touch your own conscience. ”

Fu Qingshan frowned and wanted to reach out to pull her back, but Qiao man pulled him back and replaced him with her in front of Lin Yan.

“Fu Qingshan, can you be a little more self-aware? A girl looks forward to her wedding the most in her life. No matter what the reason is, you’re definitely going to marry her. Whatever enmity you have, you can’t vent it on her. ”

“Oh, that’s not right. She has no reason to accept your enmity. After all, in bed, you’re the one who feels the most pleasure. ”

Fu Qingshan smiled and threw the cigarette butt in his hand onto the floor to extinguish it. “old JI, I’ve already said that her eloquence is enough for you to drink a pot of wine. Are you planning to let me drink a pot of wine as well? ”
