After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Qiao Shinian told her aunt directly, "Don't consider it. Aunt, don't introduce anyone to me anymore, and don't try to win me over to anyone. I can live well without relying on men."

Tan Shuhong didn't believe this before, but now she knows Qiao Shinian can do it.

"Niannian, auntie knows you are capable, but this doesn't conflict with finding a partner, right? Find someone with good conditions, isn't it better to join forces?"

After saying that, Tan Shuhong immediately assured, "Don't worry, your aunt will definitely not introduce you to anyone else."

The He family's incident caused such a big fuss this time, and Qin Shuhong did not regret it at all, but the matter was resolved more satisfactorily than she had imagined, so she suppressed her regret.

"But if there is a good candidate, you can really consider it." Qin Shuhong continued.

Qiao Shinian didn't want to talk about this topic with her aunt, so she went to find her uncle to discuss issues such as new spices and perfume formulation.

I was having a meeting with my uncle in the afternoon when Qiao Shinian's phone rang.

When Qiao Shinian saw the number, he was quite surprised - Li Boting.

Since the day Li Shuyan was picked up from the police station by Li Boting, Qiao Shinian has not met Li Boting.

During this period, Li Boting contacted Qiao Shinian several times, wanting to invite her out for dinner, but Qiao Shinian refused on the grounds that she was busy with work.

You called again today. What’s it about?

Qiao Shinian walked out of the meeting room and asked, "Mr. Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Miss Qiao, where are you now? Are you okay?" Li Boting's voice was filled with concern.

Qiao Shinian was a little confused, "What can I do?"

Li Boting told Qiao Shinian that when he was attending a social event at noon, he accidentally heard about the He family and also heard Qiao Shinian's name.

After careful questioning, it was discovered that during a blind date, Mrs. He and her son humiliated Qiao Shinian, which inadvertently offended Song Qingchuan of the Song family.

In anger, Song Qingchuan taught the He family a lesson. Mrs. He went to find trouble with Qiao Shinian and was photographed and posted online.

Qiao Shinian didn't expect that the chain reaction of one incident would be so huge that even Li Boting got the news.

But why did Li Boting call her to ask about the situation?

Because of what Li Shuyan did, you want to give her some compensation?

"Ms. Qiao, I'm not calling you about Shuyan, nor do I want to compensate you for anything."

As if he had guessed what Qiao Shinian was thinking, Li Boting said, "We have known each other for a while, and I feel like I'm quite compatible with you. I know you have something to worry about, so I sincerely want to ask if you need any help."

Li Boting usually keeps a certain distance from women, especially young women.

Although he is nearly fifty years old, women often show interest in him, including young women in their early twenties.

So except for work or other necessary times, he will not take the initiative with a woman.

Ever since he met Qiao Shinian, Li Boting had felt an inexplicable intimacy and desire to get close to her.

He admired Qiao Shinian very much, and at certain moments he even felt distressed and sympathetic towards her.

In Li Boting's heart, Qiao Shinian is a junior like his daughter Shuyan.

However, there are often derogatory terms such as "adopting a godfather" in the outside world. If he frequently contacts a female junior, it may cause misunderstandings and rumors, which will be detrimental to Qiao Shinian's reputation.

Therefore, Li Boting also kept his distance from Qiao Shinian.

But today, when he learned about Qiao Shinian's situation, he was so worried that he couldn't help but call her to ask about the situation.

"Don't bother Mr. Li, I'm fine and the matter has been resolved now." Qiao Shinian said.

Hearing Qiao Shinian's voice, which was obviously more unfamiliar and polite than before, Li Boting felt strangely uncomfortable and a little flustered.

Li Boting couldn't explain the reason. He even wanted to make Qiao Shinian happier like he did with his daughter Shuyan.

"Ms. Qiao, I'm sorry about what happened between you and Shuyan. You suspected that she had someone hurt you, and I believe you. I'm also very angry. But it's not just the police. I also had people investigate, and it wasn't Shuyan who did it."

Li Boting's tone was anxious, "I really don't want to believe that Shuyan would be so cruel, but if she really did commit a crime, I won't side with her!"

After hearing Li Boting's hurried explanation, Qiao Shinian's reaction was not shame, but a little... aggrieved?

What is she feeling wronged about?

Li Boting is not related to her, and there is nothing wrong with him trusting his daughter. Why is she being so pretentious?

"Mr. Li, you don't have to explain to me. You did nothing wrong."

As the daughter of Li Boting, Li Shuyan naturally knew how to control Li Boting.

Qiao Shinian couldn't ask someone to help her instead of her relatives without any evidence.

Li Boting said, "Miss Qiao, if you are not busy now, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Qiao Shinian shook his head and refused. "Sorry, I can't get away. I have a meeting waiting for me."

Although Li Boting wanted to chat with Qiao Shinian for a while longer, he didn't want to delay Qiao Shinian's work.

"Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't work too hard."

"Thank you."

After putting away his phone, Qiao Shinian was about to go back to the meeting room, but his aunt Tan Shuhong appeared out of nowhere.

"Nian Nian, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Qiao Shinian simply said, "An elder."

"What elders?" Tan Shuhong asked again.

"Is there any problem?" Qiao Shinian asked back.

Tan Shuhong was followed by staff carrying fruits and snacks. She asked them to deliver the items to the meeting room, and then said to Qiao Shinian, "I just feel a little strange."

"When you were angry with your mother over something in the past, you had this attitude. I couldn't stand it at the time and thought your mother spoiled you too much. But your mother told me that you were just pretending to be indifferent because you actually wanted her to coax you more."

Tan Shuhong asked, "Besides the Huo family, do you have any other elders that you are close to?"

Qiao Shinian's eyebrows furrowed at her aunt's words. Was she angry with Li Boting just now?

She admired Li Boting and thought he was elegant and reserved, making people feel close to him.

But she thought she was not so shameless as to think of treating Li Boting as his daughter.

What she just said was quite normal, it was my aunt who misunderstood it.

"Aunt, it's just an ordinary acquaintance. You think too much."

Qiao Shinian said, "Let's go in and eat some fruit together."

……

The next day, there was still no specific news from Lu Chennan.

Qiao Shinian plans to go and visit Fu Tiantian to comfort her.

After buying the small cake that Fu Tiantian liked, Qiao Shinian arrived at the medical beauty center where she was.

The medical beauty center is large in scale and has an imposing appearance. When Qiao Shinian entered, there were many people consulting and waiting in the hall, and it looked very prosperous.

Qiao Shinian went directly to Fu Tiantian's office.

As she reached the office door, she heard crying from inside.
