After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Hearing this, Song Man became more and more confused, "His mate selection criteria...Qiao Shinian, you...you are not interested in my brother, are you?"

Song Man's expression instantly changed from surprise to excitement. "If that's true, that would be great! You don't know, my parents are really worried about my brother's marriage!"

Qiao Shinian held down the excited Song Man and said, "Calm down. I don't have any thoughts about your brother."

Song Man was immediately disappointed again, "That's right, you have men like Huo Yanci and Mo Xiuyuan pursuing you, how could you be interested in my brother?"

"..." Qiao Shinian could tell from Song Man's reaction that the Song family really wanted Song Qingchuan to get married.

She only asked one question, and Song Man had already mentioned all the possibilities.

"But what do you mean by suddenly asking about my brother's criteria for choosing a partner?" Song Man finally had a normal train of thought.

Qiao Shinian coughed, "Mo Xiuyuan once said that your brother only cares about his career and doesn't care about relationships at all. But your brother once blocked paint for me and helped me a few times afterwards. Mo Xiuyuan once doubted his intentions."

"I said at the time that he was overthinking, but Li Shuyan mentioned it again just now. I really don't want to speculate, so I just want to ask you, do you think I have the same aesthetic taste as your brother?"

When Song Man heard Qiao Shi say this, she didn't joke about it, but thought about it seriously.

"I haven't seen my brother treat any girl particularly well. My family introduced him to several girls before, but they all thought he had no interest and was just a work machine, so they didn't end up dating."

"So I don't know his taste," Song Man said, "but his relationship with Mo Xiuyuan is pretty good. He wouldn't have any feelings for you even though he knows Mo Xiuyuan likes you, right?"

Qiao Shinian coughed again, "Don't think I'm narcissistic. I don't think your brother has any special feelings for me, but Mo Xiuyuan and Li Shuyan both mentioned it, so I came to you to confirm it."

Song Man thought about it again, "Even my parents don't know what my brother is thinking. He always treats me like a child and won't tell me anything. I have no way of knowing what he is thinking. How about I help you test it out?"

"No, no," Qiao Shinian quickly refused, "There's no need. I'm just asking out of curiosity."

The opening ceremony had already begun, and the host on the stage was giving the opening remarks, so the conversation between Song Man and Qiao Shinian ended.

After a lively opening dance show, it was time for leaders at all levels to give speeches and present awards.

As expected, Qiao Shinian won the "Haicheng Top Ten Youth Award". When she and two others went on stage to receive the award, the host gave them his blessings.

Coincidentally, the person who presented the awards to them was Huo Yanci.

Although Huo Yanci is not currently the president of the Huo Group, he has made many contributions to the economic development of Haicheng and has won several municipal awards. It is reasonable for him to present awards to them.

The etiquette staff held medals and flowers, and Huo Yanci presented them with flowers, put on medals, and shook hands with them in blessing.

After Huo Yanci put the medal on Qiao Shinian, when the two shook hands, Qiao Shinian clearly felt Huo Yanci's palm holding her tightly.

Suddenly, Qiao Shinian's nose felt sore and his eyes felt hot.

In her previous life, Bai Yiyi also won an award in Haicheng. She saw on TV that Huo Yanci gave Bai Yiyi flowers, and then they smiled at each other.

At that time, Qiao Shinian felt envious and bitter. She wished she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Huo Yanci.

So she went to ask Mrs. Huo to work for her, saying that she also wanted to make a career. But Huo Yanci regarded this request as unreasonable...

Now, she has done it, and she stands in front of everyone with her head held high.

There were industry elites applauding her below, the host blessing her on the stage, and Huo Yanci watching her admiringly.

The scene she imagined in her previous life has now come true.

How she would envy me now in her previous life.

"Ms. Qiao was so excited to see President Huo, or so happy to win the award, that she even forgot to let go of his hand!" the host joked.

Qiao Shinian reacted and found that she was still on the stage, but she was distracted.

Qiao Shinian let go of Huo Yanci's hand and smiled calmly, "This is my first time receiving such an honor. I am indeed a little nervous."

The host was a very tactful person. She took the opportunity to ask Huo Yanci to send his blessings to Qiao Shinian, the youngest winner.

Huo Yanci looked at Qiao Shinian, his dark eyes dark and unclear.

Just when Qiao Shinian was about to speak to smooth things over, Huo Yanci spoke in a low voice, "Congratulations."

Even though these were just two simple words, the audience gave warm applause.

Qiao Shinian smiled and bowed to thank everyone.

When she looked away, she happened to see Li Shuyan.

She was sitting in a position relatively close to the front, drinking water with both hands. She neither clapped nor the expression on her face was obscured by the cup.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Qiao Shinian felt that Li Shuyan was in a bad mood.

Huo Yanci left the stage first, and Qiao Shinian and the other two gave brief speeches to express their gratitude for the award.

When walking back to her seat, Song Man was so excited that she gave Qiao Shinian a hug and said, "You are great. I am so happy for you!"

Qiao Shinian patted Song Man on the shoulder and said, "You will be better than me."

It was nearly ten o'clock when the award ceremony ended.

It started to rain outside.

Song Man was contacting the driver, while Qiao Shinian and everyone else took shelter from the rain in front of the hotel gate.

A night breeze blew, bringing a bit of coolness.

Qiao Shinian was wearing thin clothes. She rubbed her arms vigorously to keep herself warm. Suddenly, she had a coat on her body.

Looking up, Qiao Shinian saw Song Qingchuan.

He was putting his coat on her with a calm look on his face.

"Manman is on the phone. She said the driver will be here soon." Song Qingchuan informed in a gentle tone.

Qiao Shinian felt a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to take off her coat. "Mr. Song, you should wear your coat. I'm not cold."

Song Qingchuan stopped her, smiling with an unyielding smile, "Miss Qiao, just put it on. If you catch a cold and it affects your work, Manman will blame me for being ungentlemanly."

"Shi Nian, Mr. Song."

At this time, a familiar sweet voice sounded, "It really is you!"

Li Shuyan walked up to them and teased Huo Yanci behind her, "Boss Huo, you're a step late. There are already gentlemen who care about you."

Qiao Shinian turned his head and saw Huo Yanci was indeed not far away.

There was no expression on his handsome face, and his dark eyes were fixed on the coat she was wearing.

Qiao Shinian didn't want to have any contact with Huo Yanci. She retracted her gaze and said politely to Li Shuyan, "My driver will be here soon, so I won't accompany you."

"Shi Nian, are you free this weekend? Let's have dinner together. Xiao Ci misses you very much!" Li Shuyan made an invitation.

How could a cat like Xiao Ci express missing someone? Li Shuyan was just being polite.

Qiao Shinian thought about it...
