After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

"You arranged for us to meet?" Qin Yi suppressed his anger and smiled, "I want to see my mother, and I want someone else to arrange a meeting. Brother, I'm here to visit relatives, not in prison."

These words were a bit sharp, causing the air in the car to suddenly freeze.

Shi Yi was a little embarrassed at the side. She hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Xiao Yi, what are you doing? Talking to your brother like this! He must have his reasons for arranging this. Look, you always praise your big brother when you come here. , why are you talking angry words now?"

After Shi Yi finished speaking, she looked at Qin Ce again and said with a smile: "Brother Qin Ce, you and Xiaoyi haven't seen each other for so many years. You may not know him well. He is usually very good. He just wants to see his aunt. On the one hand, I’m a little impatient, so don’t take it to heart.”

Qin Yi held his bag and turned his head to the side, a little angry, but did not refute.

He was indeed a little anxious, but after finally meeting his mother, whom he had not seen for 20 years, how could he not be anxious?

Shi Yi also said: "Brother Qin Ce, you have never been back. You don't know that Xiao Yi has not had an easy time these years."

"The aunt that Uncle Qin married, she...I don't mean to say bad things about her, but after they got married, the relationship between Xiaoyi and Uncle Qin became worse and worse. Now all of Uncle Qin's thoughts are on his few As for the child, he hardly cares about Xiaoyi."

These things are a long story, but these few sentences are enough to prove that Qin Yi has not been very happy following his father these years.

When I was a child, I was ignorant and didn't understand that woman's human face and snake heart. I was provoked time and time again.

By the time he became sensible, the relationship between father and son could no longer be repaired. He even thought countless times if it would have been a different life if his mother had taken him away.

But there was nothing he could do at that time, he couldn't choose, and no one else had a choice.

Qin Liang didn't like Qin Ce because he was always against him, and Joey was even more afraid that Qin Ce would do something earth-shattering if he followed him.

In desperation, she could only choose to take Qin Ce away.

After Shi Yi finished speaking, there was a long silence in the carriage.

I don't know how long it took, but Qin Ce suddenly returned to the hotel booking page, flipped through the address book, found Joey's number and called him.

He also turned on hands-free.

The phone was connected, and Joey's incoherent voice came from the other end, "Baby, what's the matter? You've finished eating, do you want to pack it for Mommy? Just do whatever you want, you know Mommy loves to eat..."

"Qin Yi is here."

Qin Ce interrupted her, and with this sentence, the person on the phone seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the voice suddenly stopped.

Qin Yi stared at the phone, the woman's voice just now kept replaying in his mind, outlining countless happy and beautiful pictures.

But none of these pictures belong to him.

Qin Yi's face changed every time he sketched it, and even he felt that he was a little disgusting at the moment.

After a long time, Joey's voice came from the phone, "Where are you?"

"Guxi Street."

"Then..." Joey's voice was a little unnatural, and he even didn't know how to answer the question, "Then has he eaten?"

Qin Ce glanced back at him, "Have you eaten?"

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, he quickly sorted out his mood, and muttered two words, "I didn't eat."

Turning on the loudspeaker, Joey naturally heard it.

"You go and make a reservation first, I'll come over now."

"it is good."

Qin Ce hung up the phone and raised his eyes to meet Qin Yi's eyes, "What do you want to eat?"

The latter looked a little distracted and unnatural, and shifted his gaze without any trace, "Whatever."

Qin Ce looked around and drove out.

this head.

Qiao Xing and Wang Ye finished eating, but there was still a lot left. Because they ordered for three people, but Qin Ce didn't come, they couldn't finish the food.

Wang Ye hired a waiter to pack the food, he paid the money and walked out of the mall with Qiao Xing.

It was already dark outside, with colorful neon lights flashing everywhere. People were coming and going, and the cold wind was blowing back and forth at the door. The two of them stood at the door, looking at the lively square, but they felt an indescribable loneliness.

Qiao Xing shivered coldly.

Wang Ye said: "Didn't Qin Ce say he would come to pick you up? Give him a call."

Qiao Xing held her cell phone and put it in her pocket. She pulled her hat on, shrank her neck and said, "I sent him a message. He should be here when he finishes his work."

"Then go in and wait, it's so cold outside."

"Okay." Qiao Xing also couldn't bear it. The winter in the south was so cold that it froze the bones, especially when the wind blew, it felt like everything he breathed into his lungs was a knife.

The two went in to find a place to cook. Wang Ye saw that her face was red from the cold and ran to buy her a cup of hot milk tea.

Qiao Xing looked at the milk tea in her hand and couldn't help but joke: "It seems that this relationship is not in vain. I have been trained to be so considerate."

Wang Ye paused and glanced at Qiao Xing angrily, "Can you say something nice? I'm still sad."

Qiao Xing opened his mouth, "I'm sorry."

"Forget it." Wang Ye sat down next to her, took a breath of milk tea, and wandered around the mall with bored eyes.

He suddenly saw a girl in a white woolen coat in front of him and poked Qiao Xing with his arm, "Is that your colleague?"

Qiao Xing followed his gaze and saw that it was none other than her immediate boss, Bai Yi.

Bai Yi was holding a four or five-year-old child in his hand, and the two were buying milk tea in front of a milk tea shop.

"Yes." Qiao Xing was also a little surprised. Why was Bai Yi holding a child?

Could it be her son?

But isn't she in a relationship with Jiang Wang?

Is the child Jiang Wang’s?

In just a few seconds, Qiao Xing went through a brainstorming session and imagined a bloody sadomasochistic drama.

"Come over and say hello."

Qiao Xing was stunned, shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't go."

No one in the entire department knew that Bai Yi had a child. If she found out about it, they would be afraid of being silenced.

Wang Ye shrugged and was not interested.

But after Bai Yi bought the milk tea, he turned around and saw Qiao Xing, and their eyes met.

Now I can't even pretend I didn't see it.

Qiao Xing had to stand up from his chair and walked over to greet her, "Team Leader Bai, what a coincidence."

Bai Yamian nodded without changing his expression, "Yes, why are you here?"

"Oh, my cousin and I are eating here." Qiao Xing said, and couldn't help but look down at the little boy. Not to mention, the eyebrows and eyes were really similar to Bai Yi's.

"My son." Bai Yi introduced calmly, "Linlin, call me aunt."

The child held the milk tea, looked up at Qiao Xing curiously, and shouted softly, "Hello, aunt."

"..." The pearl in Qiao Xing's mouth was stuck in her throat, unable to move up or down. It took a lot of effort to swallow it.

She forced a smile and said, "Hello."

"You seem surprised?"
