C168 Observe in the Dark

After leaving the company, Qin Lang went to get his car while Qiao Lin stood at the entrance of the company waiting. His phone, which had been quiet all morning, suddenly rang.

In the past, when he was in the cinema city, his phone was used by a few familiar group leaders to inform him to follow the crew. When he arrived at the Golden Year, the company informed him of his work. Other than contacting Qin Lang, this phone was only used as a means of communication for work. It rarely rang because of personal matters.

Because it was a text message, he thought it was a reminder that he did not have enough phone balance or a greeting message from Qiao Yan. But when he turned on his phone, he saw that it was neither of the two. It was an unfamiliar number, but it was not Qiao Zhicheng's either. After talking to Qiao Zhicheng last time, although he did not agree with the matter between him and Qin Lang, he did not object anymore. To prevent him from suddenly calling again, he saved the number in his address book.

The number was a total stranger to him now.

He opened the text message and looked at the content.

"Lin, long time no see. Can we meet? If possible, please call me back."

Qiao Lin locked the phone screen before he even looked at the signature.

Lin, whether it was in the Qiao family or in the cinema city where he used to work, not even Qin Lang had ever called him that. How long had it been since someone called him that? It had been more than ten years since she came back.

Qiao Lin knew that this message was from her mother, Lin Xin, who was the current Nan Xin, the founder and boss of G and N, just by calling her.

Therefore, it must be because of this woman that G and N wanted Qin Lang to endorse their products.

How much did she know about the matter between him and Qin Lang?

They had not seen each other for more than ten years and had no contact with each other. Back then, they had walked away from each other and ignored him for many years. Now, they had found him again.

Did she also want to oppose the relationship between him and Qin Lang?

His father and mother were not with him when he needed them most, one had left him at work in that cold house, the other had left his son alone for years.

Now there were people who gave him happiness, warmth, and a stable life, but these people who didn't care about him wanted to ruin it.

When Qin Lang drove the car over, he saw Qiao Lin standing by the side of the road with a contract in one hand and a phone in the other.

He did not know what Qiao Lin was thinking about. Qiao Lin did not notice that he had driven the car over and stood there in a daze, deep in thought.

"What's wrong? Get in the car," Qin Lang rolled down the window.

Only after hearing Qin Lang's voice did Qiao Lin come back to his senses. He opened the passenger door and got into the car.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in your thoughts? You haven't seen my car stop in front of you for a long time." Qiao Lin's expression made Qin Lang a little worried.

"I..." Qiao Lin held his phone tightly. He did not know if his mother would take the initiative to come to him like his father, or use the endorsement as an excuse to get close to Qin Lang, so he did not plan to hide it from Qin Lang, "My mother texted me just now and asked me to meet her."

Hearing him mention his mother, Qin Lang was stunned for a moment. "You mean Nan Xin?"

Qiao Lin nodded, "She's back. I don't know when she came back or why she appeared at this time. It's been more than ten years since we last met. I thought she had already forgotten about me and that my matters had nothing to do with her anymore. I suspected that she knew about our relationship, so she used the endorsement to get close to you. Now that she took the initiative to look for me, I'm afraid that she'll object to our relationship."

Qin Lang reached out his hand and held Qiao Lin's hand, "If she objects, won't you be with me?"

Qiao Lin shook his head, "She has been gone for more than ten years and ignored me. Why should I listen to her? Back then, she had already thrown me into the abyss of darkness. Do you want to come again? At that time, I was still young and had no choice. Now, what reason do I have to let her control my future life? If she had taken me away and stayed by my side, I might have thought about her feelings. But she didn't think about me when she left me. Why would I give up the people I love and the life I have now for her? "

Qin Lang tightened his grip on Qiao Lin's hand, "Since that's the case, what else do you have to be afraid of? She's the boss and founder of a big brand, rich and powerful. Do we have to be afraid of her? Retreat? So don't avoid her. If she wants to see you, meet her. Otherwise, she will find you sooner or later. She left you for a different reason than you think. Mother and son haven't seen each other for years."

Qiao Lin took a deep breath and let his uneasy heart settle down temporarily, "Maybe you're right."

"If you're still worried, I can go with you to see her. You've slept with me, and you're responsible for me." Qin Lang made Qiao Lin happy.

"Alright, you said it yourself. Think about it carefully. No matter what happens, you have to stay by my side and guard me. You're not allowed to run away." Qiao Lin took his hand away from Qin Lang's palm and prepared to reply to his mother.

"Alright, since you said you won't run, then what kind of reward will you give me?" Qin Lang still could not change his habit of taking advantage of the situation.

Qiao Lin did not hesitate as he went up to him and hugged his neck, kissing him on the cheek.

After kissing him, he sent a text message.

Qin Lang touched his face and felt that it was not enough. "This is just a deposit, right? After meeting your mother, you have to give me a big present as a betrothal gift."

Qiao Lin blushed, "Alright, alright, it's up to you. Just lie down obediently and let me sleep with you."

Qin Lang smiled and started the car, "Why are your words getting rougher and rougher?"

"Why do you dislike it so much? Let me tell you, it's too late to return the goods." Since Qin Lang wanted to accompany him, Qiao Lin felt even more at ease.

He quickly replied, "I happen to be free these few days. When do you want to meet? You can decide."

Seeing that his complexion had finally returned to normal, Qin Lang heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I've picked up such a big treasure. I can't wait to hide it at home every day and hold it in my palm. Why would I return it? No matter how much money I give, I won't return it."

"Cut the crap and say something nice." Although he was tired of sweet-talking, every time this person said it, Qiao Lin would feel happy.

"Alright, alright, alright. If you don't say it, can we do it?" This person who had been serious for a short while soon appeared again.

"I can't be bothered with you," Qiao Lin looked down at his phone and saw that Nan Xin had already texted him back.

"Then let's have a meal together this weekend. The place will be at the hotel next to your company. I'll let you know after I've booked a place."

As expected, this person had been secretly observing him. He even knew which company he was in and the hotel next to it.
