It rained a little last night, but when we woke up in the morning, it wasn't that hot anymore.

The weather was sunny but cool.

This morning, after having breakfast at home, Ji Beichen drove Qiao Yue to the coffee shop.

Before getting out of the car, Ji Beichen still held her hand and asked, "Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Qiao Yue nodded, "It should be okay."

She opened the car door and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Ji Beichen again.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Ji Beichen: "How about I come over to meet you for dinner at noon."

Qiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a small break at noon, so forget it. Let's meet again tonight, okay?"

Ji Beichen's eyes showed disappointment: "Well, okay."

Qiao Yue smiled, "What's wrong with you? Are you so reluctant to leave me?"

Ji Beichen didn't reply, but looked at her tenderly.

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Don't tell me, it's because you know what happened when I was a child and you feel sorry for me."

Ji Beichen: "I want to spend more time with you."

Qiao Yue: "It's really not necessary. I'm fine. I know your thoughts. I'll wait until you take a vacation and then stay with me. Is that okay?"

Ji Beichen nodded when he heard this.

Qiao Yue smiled, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before getting out of the car.

Ji Beichen said goodbye to her and then drove back to Xingchen Group to work.

When Qiao Yue saw that the car was gone, she walked into the store.

She went directly to the front desk and asked the clerk to make her a cup of coffee, then carried it into the office.

As soon as she sat down and took a sip of coffee, Li Qian opened the door and walked in.

"Yue! You are so early today."

Qiao Yue: "Well, I'll come right after breakfast."

Li Qian closed the door, walked over and sat next to her, "Are you okay? Did Qiao Zhihong come back after he left yesterday?"

Qiao Yue shook her head, "It's okay. Speaking of which, I have to thank your brother for what happened yesterday. I'll treat you two to dinner when I have time."

Li Qian: "Tsk, why are you so polite to me?"

Qiao Yue smiled.

Li Qian asked again, "By the way, are you really not going to tell Ji Beichen about this?"

Qiao Yue smiled, "He already knows. I told him last night."

"Really?" Li Qian said, "I'm just saying, I must tell him about this, you two are husband and wife."

Qiao Yue: "He must support me and want to protect me. I have no doubt about this. I had concerns before because I was afraid that these things would affect him. Now that the matter has come to an end, I have told him everything. ”

Li Qian looked at her and asked, "Do you think Qiao Zhihong has really given up and come to you again?"

Qiao Yue replied: "Looking at the way he looked yesterday, he probably doesn't dare to come here again. He won't benefit from me, so he probably won't spend time to please me anymore."

"According to my understanding of him, he is a selfish person, but he is also a person who is obsessed with saving face. He has already risked his life a few days ago and has not received any benefits from me. He should not come back again."

Li Qian hummed, "That's fine, I'm just afraid..."

Qiao Yue remembered Li Qian's crow's mouth attribute, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, "Okay, stop talking, let's talk about something else."

Li Qian nodded, then took off her hand and smiled at Qiao Yue.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

Li Qian shouted, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the clerk poked his head in and said, "There is a woman outside, saying..."

"Okay, I'll handle it." Li Qian understood immediately that a customer must have complained.

The store has been open for so long, so this kind of thing is not surprising.

Li Qian patted Qiao Yue on the shoulder and said, "You stay here, I'll just go out and take care of it."

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Boss Li."

Li Qian stood up and said, "Boss Qiao, you're welcome."

After that, he went out to deal with things.

Qiao Yue picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then prepared to start today's work.

The design drawings of the new store have been prepared. She has to check if there are any changes that need to be made and then reply to the design company.

This time she and Li Qian plan to open two stores at once, and they must make sufficient preparations in advance.

As soon as Qiao Yue turned on the computer, the office door was suddenly pushed open again, and Li Qian walked in.

Qiao Yue raised her head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you out to handle customer complaints?"

Li Qian looked embarrassed and said: "Yue, why don't you go out and take a look..."

Qiao Yue had a bad feeling in her heart, so she immediately stood up and walked out without asking any questions.

Although Qiao Yue didn't know what happened, she saw a fierce-looking middle-aged woman sitting at a table not far away, and she knew she was not easy to mess with.

Li Qian followed Qiao Yue and said, "I don't know who this aunt is, and I don't know why she is crazy. She insists on seeing you. If you don't come out, she will yell."

Qiao Yue said, "It probably has something to do with Qiao Zhihong."

Li Qian: "No...why is the ghost still lingering?"

Qiao Yue frowned: "I'll go meet her."

Li Qian was worried and followed Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue walked over directly and sat down opposite the fierce woman.

The woman stared at Qiao Yue several times, "Are you Qiao Yue?!"

Qiao Yue nodded, "Yes, it's me."

The woman frowned and stared at Qiao Yue again, "It's not true, it doesn't look like it..."

Qiao Yue looked at her. This woman was about fifty years old. She had good features and must have been pretty when she was young. However, she had a bloated figure and dark and rough skin. She must have been exposed to the sun while working outdoors for a long time. She was also dressed very simply, and the bag she held in her hand was an old woven bag.

Qiao Zhihong mentioned in his words before that he remarried and had several children.

Qiao Yue naturally thought that the person in front of her must be Qiao Zhihong's current wife, the mistress who interfered in Qiao Yue's parents' marriage, and Qiao Zhihong's junior high school classmate.

The middle-aged woman looked Qiao Yue up and down and muttered, "This doesn't look like her... Hey, are you really Qiao Zhihong's daughter?!"

Qiao Yue shrugged and replied, "I can't be."

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, pointed at the two of them and said, "Yes, it means, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Are you trying to fool me?! If you lie to me, I will cause trouble and prevent you from doing business!!"

Qiao Yue glanced at her calmly, "Believe it or not. You can make trouble, but you'd better smash something strange so that I can call the police and arrest you."

The middle-aged woman didn't expect Qiao Yue to be so tough, "You!! Are you talking to me like this?! Do you know who I am?!"

Before even asking, she took the initiative to reveal the news.

Qiao Yue asked perfunctorily, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged woman raised her head and said, "My name is Zheng Xiufen! I am Qiao Zhihong's current wife! In terms of seniority, I am your stepmother! You have to call me Mom!!"

Qiao Yue sneered, "Oh."

Zheng Xiufen was so angry that her teeth itched, "What do you mean by oh?!"

Qiao Yue said coldly: "Qiao Zhihong cheated on my mother when she was sick and eloped with a junior high school classmate, so he hooked up with someone like you? It seems that he really has poor taste."

Zheng Xiufen was angry at first, and then asked in confusion, "Junior high school classmates? Elope?!"

Seeing her uninformed look, Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out you are not the mistress back then. It seems that Qiao Zhihong has hidden a lot of things from you..."

Zheng Xiufen's face turned dark, and she scolded Qiao Zhihong in a low voice, "This piece of shit, a goddamn piece of shit, actually lied to me..."

Qiao Yue gloated and said, "Why don't you go back and ask that bitch first how many things he is hiding from you..."

Zheng Xiufen was still holding on: "I've been married to Qiao Zhihong for ten years. I don't know what's going on with him. This bitch doesn't dare to lie to me. Don't try to sow discord!!"

Qiao Yue knew that this woman must have come with bad intentions and would not be sent away so easily.

Qiao Yue saw more and more people in the store. If she really made a fuss, it would indeed affect the business. Moreover, Qiao Yue felt disgusted by letting such a person stay in her territory for too long.

Qiao Yue stood up and said coldly to the woman, "Come with me, we can't talk here."

The woman shouted irritably, "Where to go?!"

Li Qian also stood up and said to Qiao Yue, "I'll come with you."

Qiao Yue shook her head: "It's okay, I can handle it myself. You can look after the store."

After saying that, she walked directly out the door.

The woman panicked and had no choice but to follow her footsteps and walk out of the coffee shop, cursing.
