After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

The servant told Qiao Shinian that a gentleman named Li was coming, and her grandfather asked her to go in.

Mr. Li, Li Boting?

Didn’t Li Boting return to Gangcheng to deal with some family matters? When did he arrive in Haicheng? Why did he choose to come to my grandfather’s house today?

With doubts, Qiao Shinian returned to the hall.

As expected, Li Boting came. He sat on the wooden sofa in the living room and spoke to my grandfather in a humbly and polite manner.

There were many expensive tonics and medicinal herbs on the table.

My uncle and aunt were standing by, with a look of flattery on their faces.

After all, with Li Boting's wealth and status, there is no need for him to take the initiative to visit the Qiao family and establish relationships.

Yu Jingcheng and Qiao Shinian nodded and went outside to find Qiao Leyan.

"Mr. Li." Qiao Shinian called politely.

Hearing her voice, Li Boting raised his head, with love and joy clearly revealed on his face, "Miss Qiao."

"Didn't you go back to Gangcheng? When did you come to Haicheng?" Qiao Shinian asked as he sat down next to his grandfather.

Grandpa held her hand, said with concern that it was a little cold, and asked the servant to bring her some clothes.

Li Boting kept looking at her, seeing how close she was to her grandfather, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes?

"I returned to Haicheng yesterday. Since the last time we met, I have always wanted to visit Mr. Qiao. I happened to be free today, so I came here." Li Boting said.

Having said that, Qiao Shinian still felt that Li Boting's arrival was rather abrupt.

"Mr. Li, I should have been the one thanking you for what happened last time, but I asked you to come visit me instead." Qiao Donghai said, "We were rude."

"Mr. Qiao, what you said is serious. That time it was just a small favor. Miss Qiao has already said a lot to me.

"Thank you very much. I came here mainly to see you. I also heard that you are good at chess, so I came here to learn a few games from you." Li Boting said sincerely.

After hearing this, Qiao Donghai became interested. He really loved playing chess, but the chess skills of his family members were mediocre, and only Huo Yanci could play a few games with him.

Now that Li Boting had taken the initiative to bring it up, he certainly wouldn't refuse and asked someone to prepare it.

Qiao Shinian also wanted to follow her grandfather, but Li Boting stopped her.

"Ms. Qiao, I just heard that you have a birthday today. I happened to have prepared gifts for everyone. I'll give this to you as a birthday present."

As he spoke, Li Boting handed an exquisite brocade box to Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian opened it and found that inside was a Maitreya Buddha carved from a piece of Hetian jade with extremely fine water luster. The Buddha statue was carved lifelike and was suspended by a silver chain. It was very delicate and beautiful.

"I carved this myself. Although it's not perfect, it represents my feelings."

Li Boting's tone was filled with unknowing love and doting: "I heard that girls can be safe and smooth if they wear Buddha. I hope you are safe and smooth, and stay happy and optimistic every day."

Qiao Shinian didn't expect that this Buddha statue was carved by Li Boting himself and carried such a deep blessing meaning.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li," Qiao Shinian declined politely, "but it's too valuable. I can't accept it."

If Li Shuyan knew that her father was so thoughtful, she would be full of ridicule and ridicule.

"Nian Nian—can I call you that?"

Li Boting said, "We have known each other for such a long time. I feel that I am particularly compatible with you. Your mother and I are old friends. This is just a small gift.

It's not that valuable, you can take it."

Qiao Shinian looked at Li Boting. He actually had a cautious look on his face, as if he would be very sad and disappointed if she didn't accept it.

"Oh, Nian Nian, Mr. Li came to visit our house specially and prepared a gift so carefully, you should accept it!" Qin Shuhong on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, Nian Nian, it's your birthday too, so you can receive an extra birthday present." Qiao Guosheng also said.

Qiao Shinian finally stopped refusing and took her hand back. "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"I think you should stop calling him Mr. Li in such a formal way. Just call him uncle directly." Tan Shuhong said again.

"It's ok."

Before Qiao Shinian could say anything, Li Boting said, "It's just a name, don't worry about it."

Qiao Shinian wanted to say that there was nothing difficult about it, but since Li Boting said so, Qiao Shinian didn't say much.

"Mr. Li, it's her blessing that you think so highly of her!"

Tan Shuhong said with some pride, "You said you really appreciate the new perfume we launched at MQ. It was blended by Nian Nian!"

Hearing this, Li Boting's eyes also showed a hint of pride, "Nian Nian is very powerful."

"No, she's like her mother, she's talented!" Tan Shuhong said, "Mr. Li said he knows Nian Nian's mother, so he should know that she's a great perfumer!"

Li Boting's eyes darkened, and his tone became a little darker, "Yeah, I know."

"Shuhong, stop asking questions. Dad is waiting for Mr. Li to play chess with him." Qiao Guosheng said.

"Yes, yes, please take Mr. Li over there." Tan Shuhong greeted.

Qiao Guosheng did not refuse. He and Li Boting

Went to the front.

Tan Shuhong picked up the Maitreya Buddha jade sculpture in Qiao Shinian's hand and admired it. "Niannian, this Hetian jade is top-grade and pure. Mr. Li is very nice to you. Do you think he once had a crush on your mother?"

"Impossible." Qiao Shinian answered clearly.

Because Li Shuyan told her that Li Boting loved her mother very much and remained unmarried for all these years just for her mother's sake.

How could such a loyal man have a crush on another woman?

"He just had a good friend in common with my mother. When he knew that my mother passed away, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and paid more attention to me." Qiao Shinian said.

Li Boting played several games of chess with Qiao Donghai happily before he said goodbye.

"I still have some official business to take care of. If Mr. Qiao doesn't mind, I'll come and bother you often in the future."

Qiao Donghai naturally did not refuse.

After seeing Li Boting off, Qiao Shinian's phone rang. It was Huo Yanci calling her and saying he was coming to pick her up.

Qiao Shinian looked at the time and realized that it was indeed time to set off. He had afternoon tea and had an appointment with Tiantian and the others for dinner. It was a really busy day.

After saying goodbye to his family, Qiao Shinian walked out of the yard and found Huo Yanci had already arrived.

Perhaps because he didn't want to look too serious, Huo Yanci changed out of the suit he had worn in the morning and put on a casual jacket, making him look a little younger.

Seeing Qiao Shinian, Huo Yanci opened the passenger door for her, "Please."

When Qiao Shinian got into the car, she felt a faint scent of flowers inside. She looked around and found that there were no flowers in the car.

In the group of close friends Fu Tiantian and Tu Jie, they were sending birthday wishes and red envelopes. Qiao Shinian thanked Huo Yan and asked

Ci, "Where do you want to go for afternoon tea?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Shinian felt a figure pressing towards her.

She raised her head and saw Huo Yanci's handsome face in front of her.
