C9 You Just Have to Let Me Take Care of Me Tonight
When it was close to midnight, Qiao Zhiwei and Chi Xiaozhu moved into a room in the east district. They had two bedrooms and one living room. Qiao Zhiwei had intended to share a room with Chi Xiaozhu. However, Xiao Dou smirked and hugged her, throwing her onto the bed.
"Heh heh, great beauty, you shall obey me tonight."
Joe had no choice but to pretend to despise her and shove her into bed after she had showered.
The next morning, a burst of ringing sounds came from his cell phone. Qiao Zhong covered his head with a blanket and reached out with his hand to pick up his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Warm, are you up yet? I'm going back to my grandma's for lunch today. I need to dress up a bit prettier. "
"Oh, okay, got it, Grandma." Joe opened his mouth a little in a daze and automatically answered his grandmother.
This child was still a child. How old was he and yet he was still in bed? However, she was definitely exhausted these few days. It was best to let her have a good night's sleep. Li Jing, who was holding the phone, smiled as she heard her granddaughter's cute voice and thought of Qiao Qiao. Her eyes were filled with a doting expression.
After hanging up, Qiao Shi slightly closed his eyes and frowned. Just when he was about to open his eyes and look at the time, he lightly scratched his forehead. He only felt that his entire body was sore, and he was unable to move. He squinted his eyes and realized that Chi Xiao Dou was snoring like an octopus while pestering him.
After waking up a bit, Qiao Qiao gently moved Chi Dou's Demon Claw and body away. Chi Xiao Dou grinded his teeth and muttered. Qiao Qiao was slightly angry and found it funny. How could he hand over such a treasure?!
He got up, packed his things neatly, and went downstairs to buy breakfast. He left a key and a note on the table, and Joe quietly locked the door behind him.
When he arrived at his grandma's house, it was almost 11 AM. The autumn noon sun gently sprinkled its warmth on his grandma's body. She still had a kind expression on her face despite the passage of so many years. As soon as he arrived outside his grandmother's house, he saw his grandmother standing outside the door, watching him.
Qiao Qiao's heart felt warm. A sweet smile appeared on his palm-sized face. She walked quickly towards Li Jing and called out sweetly, "Grandmother."
Entering the door, he discovered that a lively old granny was already sitting beside the flower beds in the courtyard. She had fluffy short silver hair, did not wear gorgeous jewelry, and was dressed in a dark golden, well-tailored autumn qipao. There were some wrinkles on his ruddy face, and he was staring at her with a smile in his big bright eyes.
At the moment, the old man was holding a cup of black tea made by his grandmother. When he walked through the door, he laughed heartily.
"This must be your family. What a beautiful person."
Lin Ru was very satisfied with the granddaughter of her best friend. She was beautiful and had come back from studying abroad with talent. The key was that when he smiled, he looked cute and cute like a little child. It was something that he found pleasing to look at. This time, he had to persuade his own grandson to hurry and capture her. It would be a pity if such a good girl was taken away by others.
Qiao Qiao immediately knew that this was the good friend that his grandma mentioned. He didn't know how to greet her, so seeing that the old man was sizing him up, he could only smile sweetly and say, "Greetings, Grandma."
Lin Ru looked at Qiao with a blush on her small face. The word "granny" that came out of her mouth was sweet to the heart. In his heart, he decided that he must take down this granddaughter-in-law. It was best for him to quickly give birth to a little kid with his grandson's condition. His great-grandson didn't know what kind of exquisite porcelain doll he would see. Thinking of this, Lin Ru was overjoyed.
Joe saw the look on Lin Ru Lang's face as he stared at the sheep. He didn't know what to do. Li Jing was very happy to see her good friend's satisfied expression towards her granddaughter. She then looked at her granddaughter's helpless expression. He handed his hands to his granddaughter and started chatting with his good friend.
Noon, the three of them entered the house. Exquisite dishes were already laid out on the table.
When Lin Ru saw that her grandson still hadn't arrived, she couldn't help but feel anxious. This little brat was actually so busy that he didn't even care about his own life? He had clearly said last night that he would definitely come. No, he had to properly look after his granddaughter-in-law, he couldn't leave a bad impression because of that guy.
"Slight. That brat from my house."
Before he could finish his words, a man walked in. That person had a perfect facial outline, with sharp angles, and distinct facial features. A pair of black, starry eyes were engraved under his thick, sharp brows. The two eyelashes on his handsome nose extended in a dense, dense manner. A pair of light, thin lips lightly pursed, inadvertently revealing a cold and distant expression between his brows.
Jin Beilin walked into the room with a large and small package in his hands, and looked at Qiao with a faint trace of tenderness in his cold eyes. Seeing his grandmother staring at him, Jin Beilin didn't explain anything. He directly handed the gift to Qiao Zhiwei.
Lin Ru looked at her grandson's expression. Usually, this brat wouldn't even look at them, but he would always keep a straight face. It was already good that he could come. He actually prepared so many gifts. And that look! There was hope. Success.
Li Jing looked at Jin Beilin, who was tall, handsome, and talented. Hearing his sister praise him endlessly every day, he was also very satisfied with Jin Beilin. He thought that he could finally find a good home for his granddaughter.
After dinner, the two sisters went to the garden to chat about their daily affairs in order to create an opportunity for Qiao Zhiwei and Jin Beilin.
"It's you?" "Sorry about that day. I've already washed your clothes clean. I'll send them over to you when I have time."
As soon as Jin Beilin entered the room, Qiao Shi recognized him as the unlucky fellow who had been splashed with milk the other day. The elders of both families were present, so they found it embarrassing to say that they knew him. Remembering the dream he had that night, his eyes moved left and right unnaturally, one hand tightly grasping the goose-yellow skirt.
Jin Beilin didn't say a word, he lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Shiwei, slowly bringing his face closer.
Qiao Qiao slightly looked at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer to him. Step by step, he used his hands to form a defensive posture. He … What did he want? Was he dreaming? No, they were still not familiar with each other.
Right, his name is Jin Beilin, Jin Beilin? Why does it sound so familiar? Joe was lost in thought for a moment, his lips pressed together in a frown as he pulled out a question mark.
Linfeng Corporation! Regarding the information she read from the group introduction, Linfeng Group CEO: Jin Beilin.
He was shocked in his heart. He had pissed off his boss, and could be considered to be on a blind date with him today? When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been forced into a corner. Jin Beilin raised his hand, his handsome face slowly closing in. No! Even the superior couldn't do that. Qiao Shi slightly closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and lifted his foot to stomp down. The black boots left a grey print on Jin's shiny black shoes.
Jin Beilin was prepared to give Qiao Zhizhan a little bit of the rice in the corner of his mouth, but he suddenly stopped. His eyes turned cold as he stared at Qiao Zhixiang with a pair of starry eyes. This woman had never dared to do this to him. She was simply daring! He snorted with a gloomy face.
"Grab the rice yourself!"
Qiao Shi slightly opened his eyes and subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth with his hand. Two big shining white rice grains appeared at the corner of his eyes. When he understood, he stared at his shoes in embarrassment and ran his hands back and forth. This was too embarrassing. What was he thinking!? Seriously, Joe, what do you think of me?
"Yes. "I'm sorry."
Qiao Zhiwei's expression could not be seen, but two exquisite red earlobes betrayed him. The corner of Jin Beilin's mouth curled up into a devilish smile. Extending his slender fingers, he pinched Qiao Qiao's chin and raised his head.
"You shouldn't be thinking that I'm going to kiss you, right?"
Qiao Qiao's guess was caught off guard as his eyes widened like copper bells. His brown eyes seemed to have some sort of magic as a deep vortex appeared within them. She nervously swallowed her saliva and slightly opened her red lips. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't.
He could only stare at the man, gradually losing his focus and becoming mesmerized. How could there be such a good-looking man in the world? His thick eyelashes were clearly visible at close proximity, and his sharp eyebrows gave off an unusual heroic air. The most breathtaking thing was the drop of ink in her eyes, which were deep and bright and glimmering with starlight. Just by looking at it, he was unable to extricate himself.
"Cough. "Cough."
When Lin Ru entered the door and saw such an explosive scene, she could not help but smile widely. Her own grandson had finally awakened. This posture, this manner, it was simply mesmerizing! Hehe, looks like there's going to be a great-grandson soon, he would definitely envy that bunch of old fogeys to death.
Hearing someone enter, Qiao Zhong slightly pushed Jin Bei away. He walked towards the kitchen in a flustered manner.
"I …" I'll go and pack up. "
The sky gradually darkened.
Lin called his chauffeur over and told Jin Beilin to go home when he saw Qiao. It was best to make some small sparks on the way home.
West Bridge Courtyard.
Qiao Yong sat on the sofa, worried. The Qiao family business had gradually declined ever since Qiao Qiao's mother had disappeared three years ago. Today there is a financial crisis, and today the largest shareholder, Zhang Corporation, has decided to withdraw its capital. Over the years, Qiao Yong had managed the Qiao family's business without much success, but luckily, he had a capable assistant. But since Joe's disappearance of his mother, he had no longer been able to rely on himself.
Now, they could only think of a way to keep the Zhang family's business. Originally, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. As long as they managed to survive for two months, the Qiao family's funds would start to recover. At that time, even if Mrs. Zhang wanted to stay, she would have to see if she could agree or not!
However, he was currently stuck in a dilemma. He had heard that the young master of the Zhang family was interested in his little daughter, but his little daughter's engagement with Gu Minghao was nearing its end. Furthermore, compared to the Zhang Clan, the Gu Clan's assets were on a whole new level. At this point, it would be difficult for them to ask the Gu Clan if they could marry their own daughter. What should he do?
Similarly anxious was also old man Qiao. When he heard that the business he painstakingly managed for so many years had encountered a major crisis, he simply hated himself for failing. How could he give birth to such a useless son! Having been in the battlefield for so many years, Old Man Qiao was confident that he would not let the Qiao Family Enterprise fall in front of him.
However, he had to figure out how to do this.
The living room was silent, even Li Qianyu couldn't help but mutter in her heart, if Mrs Qiao falls, then her good days would come to an end. He had only enjoyed such a difficult life for three years, so why did he take it away from him? He definitely could not allow this to happen. However, Li Qianshan would at most trick men with a snack bar, how could she interfere in this kind of shopping mall war.
Qiao Chao Tang looked at the gloomy atmosphere at home and recalled the coveting heart of the young master of the Zhang clan that night. A sinister look flashed across his innocent eyes.
He snorted in his heart. Qiao Shiwei, you've finally let me wait for a chance! Just marry that young master Zhang who doesn't know how to learn, and you'll be abandoned, and you'll live a miserable life like your mother.
Qiao Shixiang lowered his head, blinking his large eyes and playing with his fingers as he stammered in panic, "Grandfather, the young master of the Zhang Clan really likes big sister. That day …"
When Old Man Qiao heard that Zhang Ming was interested in Qiao Qiao, a trace of craftiness flashed across his eyes. He knew that Zhang Ming wasn't a good person, but Qiao Shiwei had broken his treasure back then. He was still worried about her! Exchanging a loathsome granddaughter for the stability of the Qiao family business. It was a good deal.
Before Qiao Yong could say anything, Old Man Qiao had already finalized this matter. Seeing his father's determination, Qiao Yong's voice also could not say anything. He could only tacitly agree.
"Then it's decided. After the engagement is over, you will get engaged to the young master of the Zhang clan."
This kind of thing only happened because he was too weak. Time is of the essence. Father has let you down. In the future, I will definitely make it up to you.
As soon as Qiao Qiao entered the house, he heard the words that were spoken by the Qiao family's old patriarch.
