Chapter 240

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

In the past half a month, she had called Ji Yunshen a few times, but he did not pick up.

She had also contacted Secretary Yang a few times, hoping that he could remind Ji Yunshen to complete the divorce procedures as soon as possible.

But the answer was, “I’m sorry, President Ji is very busy. “.

Perhaps it was because the grand wedding he gave her back then was too eye-catching, so extravagant that no one could replicate it. That day when she moved out of the Blue Mountain Villa, the world was filled with the news of her divorce with Ji Yunshen.

Gossip, entertainment, and the news media were all over the place, almost stripping her of her skin.

Her popularity surpassed that of an a-list celebrity for a moment.

However, she was able to accept the divorce.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, she rushed to mansion number one and went straight to the general manager she used to be familiar with. Because they had a good relationship, he arranged for her to be on the SVIP floor. This way, her income would be doubled every night.

She said a few words of gratitude in a row. The general manager waved his hand, indicating that there was no need. The middle-aged man’s calm and reserved charm was fully displayed.

After changing her clothes, she hurriedly went to various private rooms to sell alcohol. Due to the thick makeup and the dim lighting, almost no one recognized her.

She was very glad.

Perhaps it was because people were in a particularly uneasy or stressful environment, so they did not have extra time to grieve or mourn for anything.

After exiting another private room, the walkie-talkie in her hand rang. “private room 58 needs alcohol. Go over and introduce it to me. ”

“Okay, general manager. ”

Qiao man took a deep breath and pushed the wine cart into private room 58 at the end of the corridor.

She did not know if it was because this world was too small, but when she walked in, the first thing she saw was Jiang Yingdong in the corner.

He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and his eyes were closed. His back was deeply embedded in the SOFA, and he had a cigarette between his fingers. Occasionally, he would take a puff, and he looked somewhat dispirited and handsome.

She took a look, then looked away and started to sell the wine with a natural expression.

The music in the box was deafening, and the lights of various colors rotated and danced, flickering faintly.

After the music ended, a few seconds of silence, and suddenly, a clean and elegant voice that penetrated deep into Jiang Yingdong’s bones drifted into his ears.

Under the heavy lights, he opened his eyes. When he saw that familiar and exquisite face, he could not help but feel a little dazed.

He had just closed his eyes and his mind was filled with her. When he opened his eyes, she was right in front of him.

This feeling was like a long-lost lover in a movie who could have the chance to fall in love again.

Qiao man recommended a few types of wine. The man sitting in the middle of the Leather Sofa was not satisfied. It was obvious that he had drunk too much and was using the alcohol to go crazy.

“I am an SVIP member of mansion number one. The ladies who have come to sell wine have seen me before. Do they not know what kind of wine I ask for every time? Why? Are you deliberately using such a clumsy method to attract my attention and become a phoenix on the branch? ”

Qiao man seemed to have seen the man who spoke before, but she had forgotten where exactly he was. She only knew that he had chased Ji Han for many years, and his name was Lu Yubai.

Qiao Man’s beautiful brows slightly furrowed, but there was no emotion in her voice. “Young Master Lu, I’m sorry, I’m new here. ”

Perhaps she had not expected that a wine salesgirl would be so indifferent when faced with his difficulties.

Although Lu Yubai had drunk quite a lot, when he heard these words, his cold gaze still glanced over. It seemed that he paused for a few seconds before he recognized the woman in front of him.

“Yo, who do I think it is? Isn’t this our Lin city’s upper class socialite, Qiao man, the daughter of the Qiao family? ”

Lu Yubai pushed aside the women on his left and right and stood up. He strode towards Qiao Man, who was two meters away. His eyes seemed to contain a myriad of emotions. “What? You’re finally dumped by Ji Yunshen? So you’re reduced to selling alcohol to earn money? ”

His breath was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol. It entered Qiao Man’s nostrils and made her frown even more tightly.

“How much money can you earn in one night? How about this, how much do you think you’re worth? Then name a price. If I think it’s appropriate, I’ll play with you. After all… ” he paused He raised his hand and tucked the girl’s hair behind his ear. “The women Ji Yunshen has played with should taste different. ”

Qiao man tilted her head and smiled. Without a trace, she retreated from his encirclement. Her tone was still flat “Young Master Lu, Ji Yunshen and I were married until we got divorced. The money he spent on me could be enough for you to earn for the rest of your life. So, do you think I’ll follow you? Or do you think you can be as generous as him? ”

Although the Lu family was rich, compared to the JI family, they were worlds apart.

Moreover, Lu Yubai’s reputation was even better than hers. He had long been ruined on the streets.

Even if she got divorced, she still carried the title of Ji Yunshen’s ex-wife.

As for him, he was an ignorant and incompetent second-generation heir. It seemed that he was not qualified to provide for her.

“But I only know that without Ji Yunshen, you are just a poor daughter. Why are you still pretending to be a noble White Swan? It’s as easy as flipping my hand if I want to stomp you to death. ”

Someone beside him came out to advise him, but his eyes were red. He pushed her away and reached out his hand. Just as he was about to strangle Qiao Man’s neck, he was suddenly grabbed by an extra hand in the air.

“Young Master Lu, you drank too much. ”

Lu Yubai glanced at Jiang Yingdong and then at Qiao Man. “What? You just got divorced, and you already hooked up with her? ”

“She enjoys the treatment of a queen at Ji Yunshen’s place. Your wealth is not even as good as mine. Why would she be with you? ”

Jiang Yingdong’s other hand grabbed Qiao man and pulled her behind him. He went up to Lu Yubai and said, “young master Lu, to make things difficult for a woman like this, let’s not talk about the fact that we were once lovers. Even if it was an ordinary woman, I would not stand by and watch. ”

When Jiang Yingdong was still a student, he was famous for being hot-blooded. He often saw injustice on the road.

A large part of his personality was a bright spot.

But in the end, this world still smoothed out all of his sharp edges and became the type of person that he hated the most.

It was just that in this second, he seemed to have returned.

Although Lu Yubai had a deep interest in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, it didn’t mean that he was a fool. It was meaningless to go head-to-head with a serious person like Jiang Yingdong who had the support of the Qiao Group.

Moreover, he had already said what he wanted to say. He had already gotten used to it.

“okay. ”

Lu Yubai pursed his lips and gestured for Jiang Yingdong to let go. His arms were free. He turned them casually, and his tone was cold “I didn’t expect young master Jiang to be so infatuated. I just don’t know if your fianc��e knows that you’re out there, using her name to fight fiercely for your ex-girlfriend. ”

Everyone in Lin city knew that the Qiao family had fallen into the hands of the Xiao Sisters. They were decisive and did not lose to men at all. Their performance was three times that of when Qiao Mingzhang was in office.

Without them, who would know who Jiang Yingdong was?

“I don’t think so. Young Master Lu, if you have the chance, you should tell her. I heard that the two of you have been working together frequently recently. If that’s the case, it might be able to promote more cooperation. Who knows? ”

Jiang Yingdong’s words had a double meaning. Lu Yubai looked at him deeply, smiled slightly, and did not say another word.

The conversation between the two drifted into Qiao Man’s ears. Although she had caught many key words, there were some parts that she could not completely understand.

However, one thing was for sure, Lu Yubai was afraid of Jiang Yingdong.

And this fear was definitely not because he was Xiao Meng’s fianc�� who had the Qiao Corporation as his backer.

Before leaving the house, Qiao man reached out and smoothed the long black hair on her shoulders. Her voice seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, passing through endless darkness “Young Master Lu, I heard that you’ve been pursuing Ji Han for many, many years, but she hasn’t even looked at you properly. Do you know why? ”

She laughed again, her voice as gentle as water. “because for someone like you who can barely be called a man, it’s very normal that she doesn’t like you. ”

Lu Yubai reeked of alcohol, and his head felt like it was going to explode. His hands that were hanging by his side were clenched into fists, and they loosened and tightened. After a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, “Qiao man, you’d better keep looking so cocky. ”

“I’ll try my best. ”Qiaoo man turned around and smiled brightly. Butt before that, young masterLuu, you’d better not get into any trouble.Thatt way, you’ll be able to see howIi look whenIi’m not cocky. ”

The anger in her chest had probably been suppressed for a very long time, and it had finally exploded at this moment.

In this world, one could not be bullied and become soft.

Since it was already like this, it could not get any worse, so she might as well do it as she wished.

“You’re rarely so aggressive! ”

Outside the private room, Jiang Yingdong looked deeply at her under the dim light.

“really? That’s because you don’t know me well enough. ”

Her temper seemed very good, but it was actually not good. In the past, it was because she was the daughter of the Qiao family, a socialite and a lady. When she encountered something, she did not need to personally tear it apart. There were a lot of people around her who protected her very well.

Now, it was because she had nothing and could only rely on herself.

“thank you for just now. ”

Qiao man did not forget to thank him. After all, without him, she might still have to deal with Lu Yubai for a while.

“We are friends, there’s no need to be so polite, ” Jiang Yingdong said. He lifted his watch and looked at the exquisite dial. “It’s almost time for you to get off work, I’ll send you back. ”

“No need, I’ll go back on my own. ”

As soon as Qiao man finished speaking, she did not wait for Jiang Yingdong to say anything. She turned around and pushed the wine cart away.

They did not say goodbye. Other than the fact that they had met by chance, they might not see each other again.

“Do you hate me? ”

The man was so far away that he almost screamed.

He probably hated her very much. She had sex with her best friend. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he had hurt her. It was only right to hate him.

Qiao man stopped in her tracks and waved her hand.

If you did not hate, how could you have hate if you did not love to the bone?

She had been with Jiang Yingdong for six years and Ji Yunshen for eight months. However, the latter was etched in her heart.

Perhaps Love was not a matter of time, but whether the feeling he gave you was unique or not.

Obviously, what Ji Yunshen gave her was unique.

It was just that they were not suitable for each other.

It was said that a person would grow up three times in his life.

The first time was when he realized that he was not the center of the world. It was when she went from being a high-class socialite to a poor daughter.

The second time was when he realized that no matter how hard he tried, there were still some things that he could not do anything about.

For example, Family Love, love, there were too many times when she couldn’t do anything about it.

The third time was when she knew that there were some things that she couldn’t do, but she still tried her best to fight for them.

Just like how she had given her and Ji Yunshen a few chances, but in the end, she still couldn’t do it.

She had already experienced growing up three times in her life. In the future, she would only be reborn from Nirvana and turn into a butterfly.

…

It was late at night in early winter, and the chill was bone-chilling.

Qiao Man wore a nude pink woolen coat. Facing the night wind, she walked to the roadside to stop the car.

At one o’clock in the morning, there were no more cars on the street. Most of the cars on the road were taxis.

She raised her hand to stop the car casually and saw a car approaching. The high-beam light shone directly at her, blinding her eyes. She closed her fingers and covered her eyes to block the strong light.

The car braked and suddenly stopped beside her. The cold air stirred up blew over the hem of her coat. She turned her back and waited for the air current to pass before she turned around and saw a familiar smoke-gray Bentley car.

The window of the passenger seat rolled down, revealing the man’s exquisite and indifferent face.

“What are you standing there for? Get in the car. Didn’t you urge me to settle the divorce a few times? ”

Qiao man finally reacted and pulled open the door of the passenger seat to get in.

There was a strong scent of a woman in the car. It was a scent that did not belong to her.

She sniffed and took out two documents from her bag. “I’ll bring the documents with me. My name has already been signed. What’s left is yours. ”

The man hummed in agreement. His pair of sharp eyes looked straight at the road ahead. He did not even look at her from the corner of his eyes.

“Aren’t you going to sign it? ”

“How am I supposed to sign it when I’m driving? ” The man asked back calmly.

Qiao man pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else.

After driving for another few hundred meters, at the intersection of the traffic lights, the man stepped on the brakes.

“Give me the documents and pens. ”

The girl was staring out of the window in a daze when she suddenly heard the man’s words. She was stunned for a few seconds before she passed the pen and documents on her lap to him. “Oh, here. ”

The man took the pen and wrote his name on it. The words were forceful and almost penetrated the back of the paper.

“I’ve finished signing. Put the documents on the back seat of the car. I’ll send someone to deliver the divorce certificate. ”

Qiao man nodded and did as he said.

“eight months. Although it’s not long, it’s necessary to have a farewell dinner. It’s on me. ”

The Red Light at the intersection ahead turned green. The man stepped on the gas again, the car started and slid forward.

Qiao man wanted to say that it was so late and she would not go, but when she thought of how she would be a stranger in the future, it was good to have a meal and clean up everything from the past.

“What do you want to eat? ”

Seeing that she did not say anything, the man asked again.

“Let’s go to the misty rain restaurant and eat Lin city food. ”

“Okay! ”

…

Half an hour later, the smoky gray Bentley parked steadily on the parking lot in front of the misty rain restaurant.

The man pulled out the car keys and got out of the car. He walked in front while Qiao man got out of the car and followed behind him.

When they entered the restaurant, a waiter immediately came up to them and guided them to the dining table.

The two of them sat down. Before the waiter could ask, Ji Yunshen said, “serve one of each specialty dish. ”

“Yes, sir. Please wait a moment. ”

Qiao man did not say anything. It seemed that she did not find his wasteful behavior inappropriate.

After the man finished ordering, he leaned against the back of the dining chair and looked at the girl across from him through the layers of light.

Qiao man sensed the man’s intention in advance. The second the man looked at her, she tilted her head and looked out of the window. No one said anything.

After a few minutes, the man said, “legend of beauty is about to finish filming. You have paid a lot for this movie, so I should give you a corresponding reward. What do you want? ”

Qiao man knew that this man had always been generous to women, so she did not put on too much airs. “I still owe you money. It would be great if we could write it off. ”

Although she knew that it was a little too much to ask for, she was the one who had asked for this marriage. He should have been used to it by now, so he was embarrassed instead.

“Sure. ”

“thank you. ”

As soon as Qiao man finished speaking, a sharp female voice came from the corner next door. It was choked with sobs. “Lu Yubai, you’re a F * CKING bastard. I married Qiao Mingzhang for you and got pregnant for you. Now that the baby is about to be born, you’re telling me that you’re F * Cking regretting it… ”

Qiao man could no longer hear what was said after that. Her ears seemed to be buzzing.

Those two words, “I married Qiao Mingzhang for you and got pregnant for you, ” had been ringing in her ears and even in her mind.

So, Xiao Min’s child was not daddy’s at all And she did not marry daddy because of love?

It was painful, heart-wrenching pain.

Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. Her entire body was shaking, so much so that it was difficult to breathe.

Her originally clear and limpid eyes were filled with countless storms. Her tear ducts seemed to have burst, and her face was instantly covered in tears.

She stood up, and when she walked over, she was already on the verge of breaking down.

Xiao Min hung up the phone and was sobbing softly. She heard the sound of high heels from the side of the large square pillar. She looked up, and when she saw Qiao Man’s deathly Pale face, her eyes widened in horror She was so scared that she couldn’t move.

Qiao man tilted her head and smiled. She walked over with light steps. On the table was the hot teapot that Xiao Min had ordered. She lifted the lid and poured it over.

Because the tea had been served for a long time, it was no longer so hot. However, when it was poured on the head, there would be traces of burning pain.

“Qiao man, you’re crazy. ”

“I’m mentally ill. Is this your first day knowing? ”

Qiao man got closer to Xiao Min. Because she was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, she was taller than Xiao Min by more than half a head, giving off an imposing aura.

She grabbed Xiao Min’s hair and pulled it out. “Xiao Min, I thought you were just scheming. I didn’t expect you to have the legendary heart of a snake and a Scorpion. ”

“But didn’t you hear? If you walk by the river often, you’ll get your shoes wet. ”

Qiao man tugged at her as if she had used her entire life’s strength. “Let’s go. I’ll drag you to the police station now. Let the whole world know of your disgusting face, Xiao Min. ”

“Qiao man, you’re crazy. Let go of me. ”

Xiao Min’s body was very inconvenient due to her pregnancy. She could only passively follow Qiao Man’s tugging and walk forward.

“Qiao Man, I’ll say it again. Let go of me. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life. ”

“Alright, then we’ll fight to the death. ”

Qiao man was crying until she could not breathe properly. She kept coughing, but her footsteps were very fast. She had no intention of stopping.

Ji Yunshen frowned. He scooped her up and held her in his arms. The coldness on his face disappeared. “Qiao Man, calm down. She’s pregnant. ”
