The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

Across the road from KS Group.

Xie Jinhuan leaned against the door of the sports car, with his hands in his trousers pockets and stood in the golden sunset, looking at the gate of KS Group with a gloomy look.

He has been waiting these days.

He was waiting for Tang Qiaoer to take the initiative to contact him. Even if he couldn't meet in person, just sending a message would be good.

But in the end, his full hopes were in vain, but it also confirmed one thing.

The woman he loved deeply had no place for him in her heart.

But he knew with great certainty that Tang Qiaoer still had a place for Shen Jingjue in her heart. It's just that the shadow of divorce stands between them, and she doesn't want to admit that she still has feelings for Shen Jingjue.

With his thoughts at this point, Xie Jinhuan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with sinister eyes. His whole body seemed to be solidified with ice exuding coldness, and even the bright light could not penetrate it.

"Ajin."

Hearing the sweet call, Xie Jinhuan swept away the gloom and his smile became as warm as the wind.

"Qiaoqiao, you are finally here."

Tang Qiaoer walked up to him briskly, with her hands behind her back, tilting her head to look at him, "Huh? Finally? Have you been waiting for a long time? Didn't you just arrive a while ago?"

She behaves like a cheerful and bright girl, exactly the same as the girl who redeemed him in the darkness fifteen years ago.

As long as he saw her, he couldn't take his burning gaze away from her beauty, even if he was not a man who coveted beauty.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Ever since we said goodbye at the third wife's birthday party last time, I've been looking forward to meeting you." A pitiful sense of brokenness.

Tang Qiaoer was stunned.

Then I remembered that I left in a hurry that time and didn't even say hello to him and Mrs. Xie.

It's really rude.

"I'm sorry, you should know what happened that day. It was a mess. I was worried about my family's safety, so..."

"Qiaoqiao, you really should apologize to me." Xie Jinhuan suddenly turned serious.

Tang Qiaoer was stunned, "Huh?"

"If such a big thing happened, why didn't you ask me for help?"

Xie Jinhuan took a step closer to her, his low voice slightly hoarse and filled with resentment, "Qiaoqiao, can't you trust me? Do you think I can't help you?"

"Ajin, that's not what I meant..."

"I just hate that I came a step late that day. My speed was not as fast as Shen Jingjue's, otherwise I would have been able to rush to protect you immediately." surge.

"Don't, don't...that iron rod was swung down, it was quite miserable, and my head almost split in two."

Tang Qiaoer waved her hands repeatedly, but for some reason she felt depressed when she saw his eyes, "Shen Jingjue just needs to be beaten for a while. Fourth Young Master, please don't join in the fun."

"Why can he do it but I can't? Do you think only Shen Jingjue can protect you?" Xie Jinhuan's eyes turned red and his voice was tight.

Tang Qiaoer's delicate body leaned back slightly, a little shocked by his reaction, "That's not what I meant... I don't want you to get hurt. Why do you have to let yourself get hurt? Not even for me."

Xie Jinhuan felt a long-lost warmth in his heart, and looked at her tenderly, "Qiaoqiao... do you care about me?"

Tang Qiaoer's heart trembled violently.

Do you care about me?

After they divorced, Shen Jingjue would often ask such stupid questions, and every time she would pierce him completely with her tongue.

However, deep in her heart, there was still a small pain.

But when Xie Jinhuan asked this question, her heart was very peaceful, too peaceful. There was nothing wrong with it, but it only made it more clear that Shen Jingjue was indeed more important in her heart.

"I feel that if it were you, I might not be able to save her. Then you wouldn't be a hero saving the beauty, or you would just cause trouble for me."

Tang Qiao'er casually found a reason, "Shen Jing felt that his bones are unique and his physical fitness is better than ordinary people. The chance of successful surgery on him is much higher than others. If it were you, I might not be able to save him. Then don’t you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?”

The corners of Xie Jinhuan's lips turned down, and his heart sank.

"Oh, by the way, welcome to Haimen. Can I treat you to dinner tonight?" Tang Qiaoer invited with a smile, she couldn't let him go away in vain.

"Qiaoqiao, come back to Shengjing with me. We will go back to Shengjing to eat."

Xie Jinhuan's eyes suddenly became bright and clear, "Also, I want to take you to a place. I think you will like it very much."

Tang Qiaoer thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

It wasn't that she wanted to go to that place that much, but that she was busy going back to Shengjing to meet Tang Feng and investigate the person who framed Aunt Rou, so everyone wanted to go back.

Tang Qiaoer insisted on inviting Xie Jinhuan to dinner, but Xie Jinhuan was not polite and asked for the Japanese restaurant they went to when they had dinner together for the first time.

The two of them had a pleasant meal, but Tang Qiaoer had something on her mind, and there were a few clouds of worry between her brows.

"Is the third wife's matter not resolved yet?" Xie Jinhuan took a sip of tea and asked with concern.

"That gangster is still in the detention center and has admitted all his crimes." Tang Qiaoer's voice was deep and she clenched her tea cup reluctantly.

"Is there any direction for investigation?"

Xie Jinhuan suddenly asked this question, and Tang Qiaoer's heart immediately twitched, "Do you have any thoughts when you ask this?"

The man slightly curled his lips, opened the phone screen with his slender fingers, and pressed several times quickly.

ding ding ding-

Tang Qiaoer picked it up in confusion and clicked on the pictures, and it turned out to be the gangster's information!

"This man was a stage manager at TS more than [-] years ago, and later changed his career to a martial arts stand-in. A few years later, he left TS because of an accident during filming and a broken left leg.

Although he was treated later, he could only satisfy his daily needs and could no longer film fight scenes. I have lived these years in poverty and despair. "Xie Jinhuan spoke in an understatement, holding the teapot and pouring tea for her.

Tang Qiaoer suddenly recalled that when the police escorted the man to the car that day, his walking posture was indeed strange.

"Back then, Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen's stepmother, Mrs. Shen, competed on the same stage and were both the leading ladies in TS. And at that time, there were often rumors of them fighting openly and secretly.

It was Mrs. Santa's birthday that day, and Mrs. Shen even moved her birthday to Sunday, the same day as Mrs. Santa, in order to steal the limelight from her. But she didn't expect that all the guests she took so much trouble to invite would come to the third wife's birthday party. Even Mr. Shen slapped her in the face on the spot. "

Xie Jinhuan raised his eyebrows and smiled intriguingly, "Do you think she would be resentful and attack the third wife?"

Tang Qiaoer pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "To be honest, I suspected Qin Shu as soon as the incident happened. But I suffered from the lack of evidence."

Xie Jinhuan narrowed his eyes and sent her a few more photos.

"This is?!"

"The apartment rented by that man." Xie Jinhuan replied calmly.

What the photo captured is a dark and cramped space, and the environment can only be described as dirty and messy.

The mottled walls of the apartment were actually covered with posters and photos of Qin Shu when she was a female star! The whole environment is like a weird crime scene in a movie!

"That man is crazy about Qin Shu. Looking at it this way, he has a motive for committing the crime. Qiaoqiao, does this count as indirect evidence?"

Tang Qiaoer's eyes widened in shock, "You, you sent someone to his house?!"

Xie Jinhuan picked up the napkin and wiped his lips elegantly and leisurely, "It's just a little effort, no need to thank me, Qiaoqiao."

Tang Qiao'er felt a little moved in her heart: "...You are punishable for breaking into a private house."

Xie Jinhuan's handsome face was outlined with a faint smile, "Are people who almost hurt you and your family considered citizens? They are just animals."

Ah...that makes sense!

After finishing dinner and paying the bill, Tang Qiaoer got up and went to the bathroom.

As soon as she stepped forward, the phone on the table vibrated.

Xie Jinhuan leaned forward, eyes lowered, pressed the screen of the phone with one finger, and moved the phone in front of him.

Immediately, his eyes turned cold, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Qiao'er, is it convenient for you to talk now? Qiao'er?"

Over there, Shen Jingjue's call was so gentle and affectionate.

Xie Jinhuan: "..."

Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, Shen Jingjue's voice became hoarse, "Qiao'er, where are you now? Can I... see you?"

Xie Jinhuan curled his lips and hung up the phone.

As a result, within two seconds, Shen Jingjue called again.

He sneered, directly added the name to the blacklist, and then put the phone back.

"It's been a long time, let's go."

At this time, Tang Qiaoer also happened to be back, her soft lips were replenished with lipstick, and her fair and tender skin was so shiny that it could be broken by blows.

Xie Jinhuan's Adam's apple rolled up and he looked at her with a smile, "Okay."

*

Tang Qiaoer sat in the passenger seat of Xie Jinhuan's sports car and sped eastward.

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

"It's coming."

Twenty minutes later, the sports car drove into the East Ring Road, a newly built racecourse.

"Racecourse?!" Tang Qiaoer lowered the car window, her eyes shining brightly.

"Remember? When I was a kid, when my family still lived in Haimen, you often took me secretly to your horse farm to play, and asked me to feed the horses with you." Xie Jinhuan turned to look at her, smiling like a spring day. Warm sun.

"Remember, remember! You are so timid that you don't even dare to touch a horse." Tang Qiaoer's tone became cheerful when she mentioned her childhood.

Xie Jinhuan smiled bitterly, feeling helpless.

In fact, he is not timid, but because of mysophobia and fear of getting dirty.

"This horse racing farm in Donghuan is Xie's property. It was just completed this fall and has not yet been officially opened to the public."

After parking the car, Xie Jinhuan led Tang Qiaoer towards the inside of the racecourse.

"You two, please stop!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate, he was stopped by two bodyguards, "This place is not open to the public yet, tourists are stopped!"

Tang Qiaoer couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Xie Jinhuan, who was expressionless beside her, with complicated eyes.

Both were young masters of the Xie family, and everyone in the Xie Jinli and Xie Jinchen groups knew each other, but he was turned away by two bodyguards.

To be honest, even Tang Qiao'er, an outsider, felt resentful when seeing this completely different treatment.

"Qiaoqiao, sorry."

Xie Jinhuan frowned lightly and smiled bitterly, "You finally came out with me once, but I didn't expect... that you would be wronged."
