half city sweet

Qiao Chu's whole body became colder, his eyes swept towards Ye Zhen like sharp swords.

Ye Zhen was glanced coldly by Qiao Chu and immediately slipped into Qiao Musheng's arms. Qiao Musheng held Ye Zhen closer and looked at Qiao Chu's eyes more and more dissatisfied.

Qiao Chu looked at Qiao Musheng, "Married? With her? A murderer's sister, an accomplice who killed your ex-wife? Dad, should I say that you are confused, or that you are old-fashioned."

As soon as Qiao Chu's words came out, the expressions of Qiao Musheng and Ye Zhen changed, as if someone had poked a sore spot.

The notaries and lawyers around also showed some embarrassment on their faces.The grievances of the Qiaoye family are known to everyone in Ningjin. When they first received this commission, they looked at each other in dismay and couldn't believe it. After all, the struggle between the Qiaoye family these years has almost reached the point of incompatibility. Suddenly, the news that Miss Ye and Chairman Qiao were getting married, they all thought it was a fraudulent call from that desperate person.

It wasn't until today when I saw the intimacy between the two that I couldn't believe it. Perhaps the Qiao and Ye families were about to shake hands and make peace, but now that the young master of the Qiao family is obviously opposed, it's possible that Chairman Qiao really fell in love with him. Miss Ye family, if it is true, then this person is really a bit dishonest. After all, there were indeed too many doubts about Mrs. Qiao’s car accident back then, and the Ye family did do something bullying at that time. Otherwise, how could Ye Bingkun be so unreasonable? He was easily released in court.For a moment, the notaries looked at Qiao Musheng and Ye Zhen with subtle eyes.

As if aware of the gazes of the people around him, Qiao Musheng's face was a bit embarrassed, and he looked at Qiao Chu with more and more dissatisfied eyes, "What happened back then was an accident, and it had nothing to do with Xiaozhen, so don't talk nonsense." Qiao Mu Sheng looked at the notary, "I invited you here today to notify the marriage, and prepare a new agreement immediately."

Qiao Chu sneered with a bit of chill, "I remember I said that I don't mind having multiple plaques in my Qiao family. Do you think I'm just kidding?" Qiao Chu pushed away and sat beside him as soon as he finished speaking. The notary on the chair smashed the chair onto the tea table with a "boom", the teacup burst and the chair was smashed to pieces.

Ye Zhen screamed and shrank deeper into Qiao Musheng's arms. Qiao Musheng's face turned pale twice. The last time Qiao Chu got so angry was when Qiao's mother passed away ten years ago.Ten years have passed, and Qiao Musheng almost forgot what Qiao Chu really looked like when he was angry. Those notaries were frightened by Qiao Chu and froze in place for a moment.

Qiao Chu slammed down his chair, and his whole body became even colder.Qiao Musheng opened and closed his lips with a pale face as if he wanted to say something.Qiao Chu glanced at the pale-faced notaries around him and pursed his lips to chase away the guests, "Everyone, Qiao's family still has housework to deal with today. I will treat everyone to dinner in person to make amends another day."

The notaries around kept saying no, no, with white faces, and then pushed one by one out of the gate of the villa.

After everyone left, Qiao Chu pulled up a chair and sat opposite Qiao Musheng and Ye Zhen, and his whole body returned to its original gentleness.But Ye Zhen felt that Qiao Chu's gaze towards her was even colder than before, the coldness almost pierced her bones and made her shiver.Ye Zhen regretted it, she should not agree to Ye Bingkun's request.She felt that what Qiao Chu said to kill her was true, and he would not let her go. Ye Zhen clutched Qiao Musheng's skirt with a pale face.

Qiao Chu took the coffee made for him by the housekeeper and slowly stirred it with a spoon, and the milky aroma in the coffee gradually dissipated, "Now, Ms. Ye, tell me about your purpose and what you want to do."

Ye Zhen's face became paler, and she trembled more violently.Qiao Musheng patted her on the back reassuringly, and looked at Qiao Chu with some fear, "Chuchu, I am the one who is going to marry Xiaozhen, and I am responsible for her."

"Heh." Qiao Chu chuckled and touched the coffee cup with a spoon, "Responsible? Dad, it's ridiculous for you to say that. Did you beat her to the point of disability, or are you mentally retarded and need you to take responsibility?"

Qiao Musheng frowned and said nothing, but opened the drawer under the coffee table, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qiao Chu, "Xiaozhen is pregnant with my child, and I will be responsible for her."

"Ding" the coffee spoon hit the coffee cup heavily, Qiao Chu's face turned cold and he threw an ice knife and stabbed Ye Zhen's lower abdomen. As if being stabbed by a sharp knife, Ye Zhen shrank deeper into Qiao Musheng's arms shaking her body.

Qiao Musheng was also frightened by the coldness in Qiao Chu's eyes, but thinking of the child in Ye Zhen's belly, he mustered up some courage and stretched out his right hand to Ye Zhen's lower abdomen, as if to block Qiao Chu's eyes.

Qiao Chu looked at Qiao Musheng's hand on Ye Zhen's abdomen and felt worthless for Qiao's mother for the first time. This man betrayed his mother after all.Qiao Chu lowered his eyes to cover up the desolation in his heart, and the corner of his mouth pulled out a slight sneer, calling Qiao's father's name for the first time, "Qiao Musheng, are you right for my mother?"

Qiao Musheng also lowered his eyes, with a tired voice, "Chuchu, after so many years, I should forget that people always look forward. I don't think your mother will blame me."

"Haha" Qiao Chu laughed out loud, a little depressed.The man said that there are some things that should be forgotten, Qiao Chu really wanted to ask what?Do you want to forget that your mother was lying in the heavy rain covered in blood, or did you forget that Ye Bingkun laughed in court and said that he crashed into Qiao's mother's car because of a drunk driving accident, or did you forget that Ye Zhen was holding a hospital certificate in the hospital? The court put pressure on Ye Bingkun to save him.

At that moment, Qiao Chu felt as if he was in the Saibei Glacier. The wind and snow tore him apart, his body was in a state of embarrassment, and his heart felt as if pierced by ice. He was so cold that he could hardly breathe. After what Qiao Musheng said, he broke completely.

Qiao Chu raised his head and laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed until tears flowed out.Qiao Musheng was frightened by Qiao Chu like this. He didn't know how to react at all, so he could only stare at him nervously.

After laughing enough, Qiao Chu reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, bent down and picked up the test sheet on the coffee table, and folded it neatly with both hands before putting it into his coat pocket. The wind is light, and it seems to have returned to its previous warmth.

"Buzzing..." Qiao Chu's phone vibrated twice, and Lin Qi's name was displayed on the phone screen. Qiao Chu opened the phone with one hand, and his tone was as gentle as ever, "Lin Qi."

Lin Qi said in a low voice, "The municipal project will open in five days."

Qiao Chu raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Zhen, his tone unchanged, "Understood, I'll be at the company in a while."

Qiao Chu hung up the phone and put the phone on the coffee table with a "click", and Qiao Musheng and Ye Zhen's hearts suddenly rose.

Qiao Chu looked at Qiao's father warmly and distantly, "In this case, let's make arrangements, and I will make arrangements for Aunt Ye to marry into our Qiao family in a graceful manner." After finishing speaking, Qiao Chu curved his eyebrows and turned towards Ye lazily and harmlessly. Zhen looked over, "Aunt Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Zhen looked at Qiao Chu, obviously at the moment he had a gentle and harmless smile on his face, but Ye Zhen had the illusion of being stared at by a poisonous snake, that cold and vicious aura instantly made her heart beat faster, Ye Zhen grabbed Qiao Musheng Gradually, she tried to refuse, but she couldn't open her mouth under Qiao Chu's gaze.

Qiao Chu didn't wait for her to answer and looked at Qiao Musheng again, "Since Aunt Ye has no objection, then this matter has been decided. I will send someone the date, hotel and guest list."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Chu pulled back the chair and finished his clothes condescendingly, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Qiao Musheng didn't expect Qiao Chu to compromise suddenly. Although he was puzzled, he was relieved. He only thought about slowly easing the relationship between the two after Ye Zhen married into Qiao's family.

As soon as Qiao Chu opened the door and took a step, he suddenly said "Ah", then turned around and looked at Ye Zhen with a half-smile, "Aunt Ye must take good care of that piece of meat in your belly, it is the one you married into our Qiao family The only bargaining chip." After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Ye Zhen and Qiao Musheng looked at each other, and Qiao Musheng patted her on the shoulder comfortingly and said she was fine.Ye Zhen felt uneasy in her heart.

Qiao Chu sat in the car with a blank expression and sent a few messages. After waiting for a reply, he turned the steering wheel and left Qiao's villa.At the bottom of the company building, Qiao Chu called Huo Jingchen, but there was no answer after it rang for a long time. Qiao Chu opened WeChat to send him a message, and then hurried to the office building.

The tea on the "Gudu" root carving coffee table was boiled three times, and Mr. Huo was still sitting not far from the table, concentrating on trimming a bonsai.

Huo Jingchen made another cup of tea and slowly looked at the bonsai.A small stone basin with a black bottom and a wide mouth is slightly bigger than his fist. A Yunsong pine is planted in the flowerpot. At first glance, the roots and branches are winding and crouching, winding and winding, only the ends of the branches and leaves grow a piece of emerald green. There is a faint feeling: look at the old tree sprouting in the pot, and see the artistic conception of black hair turning white in the mirror.

With just one glance at Huo Jingchen, he knew that the bonsai was not in Mr. Huo's greenhouse.His father was never a patient person. The flowers and plants in the glass room were all taken care of by a special person, and he just watered them when he was free.His father didn't know how to prune potted plants, and that bonsai didn't need pruning in the first place.Huo Jingchen lowered his head and turned the teacup in his hand. He was very sure that Mr. Huo was deliberately ignoring him.

After the fifth time the tea was boiled, Mr. Huo handed over the bonsai in his hand to the butler for him to send out.Huo Jingchen turned his head slightly to look, and at some point under the pagoda tree at the entrance of the flower house stood a woman wearing a long white dress and a sun hat of the same color. What does it look like.

The woman was so thin that it seemed as if the wind could blow it away.The housekeeper handed over the bonsai and said a few words to her, and the woman nodded and took the flower pot and walked out of the villa slowly.The movement of the woman holding the bonsai is very special. First, she supports the bottom of the bonsai with her right hand, and then gently supports the edge of the bonsai with her left hand. This movement is somewhat respectful and awkward.

Not long after the woman left, Mr. Huo washed his hands and pushed the wheelchair to sit opposite Huo Jingchen.The tea on the table rang twice, and fell into silence again. Mr. Huo looked at Huo Jingchen with heavy eyes, "I heard that you went to Nancheng because of that kid from the Qiao family."

Huo Jingchen sat quietly on the solid wooden pier and did not answer. His posture was a bit of maintenance besides acquiescence.
