After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Qiao Shinian knew that her grandfather and Li Boting were both worried about her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I make a decision."

Looking at his granddaughter's face that had obviously become pointed, Qiao Donghai held her slightly cold hand with a distressed look, "Niannian, grandpa is here for everything. If you are sad, you can tell grandpa, don't keep it to yourself."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian leaned his head on his grandfather's chest, unable to hold back his sobs.

The next day, Qiao Shinian returned to Yiming Investment Bank.

Naturally, people in the company knew about her accident.

When they saw her, they all came to ask about her situation.

Qiao Shinian thanked everyone and said with a smile that he was fine.

During the day, Qiao Shinian dealt with some urgent documents and asked his assistant to go to a headhunting company to hire a reliable professional manager.

She thought her grandfather's suggestion was a good one. Going out and taking a look around would help her gain more experience. Yiming's affairs would be temporarily handed over to the management team.

In the evening, Qiao Shinian returned to Mingyue Garden.

Just as I was smiling and telling Aunt Wang that I was fine, there was a knock on the door.

Aunt Wang opened the door and it was the part-time worker that Huo Yan had hired.

After all, their houses were next door to each other, so Aunt Wang always ran into her, and they became very familiar with each other after a few visits.

Aunt Wang asked the other party what was the matter. The hourly worker said that Huo Yanci asked her to buy fresh fish, shrimp and other vegetables every day, but Huo Yanci had not replied for a long time and the assistant's phone was unreachable, so she didn't know whether she still needed to buy vegetables.

As soon as I saw Qiao Shinian coming back, I wanted to ask Qiao Shinian for help.

The last time Qiao Shinian went to Huo Yanci's house, he did see a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator.

At that time he said that it was the part-time worker and his grandmother who prepared it, and he didn't know. But now the part-time worker said that Huo Yanci asked her to prepare it.

"Why did Huo Yanci buy so many vegetables?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Huo Yanci is busy with work and rarely has time to eat at home.

The part-time worker replied that Huo Yanci was learning to cook, but didn't want others to know, so he practiced his cooking skills at home alone.

Qiao Shinian vaguely guessed something, "Why does he want to learn how to cook?"

"Mr. Huo wanted to cook for you," Aunt Wang took over the conversation. "I occasionally discovered that he was secretly practicing his cooking skills, but he is not very talented in cooking and he often burns the food."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian recalled the time when she ran into Huo Yanci in the corridor carrying a garbage bag that smelled of burnt food. Also, when she went to his room, there seemed to be a burnt smell in the kitchen, was that because of his failed cooking?

"Some time ago, Mr. Huo asked me if there was any way to cook fish that could surpass the taste of pan-fried longli fish. But he asked me not to tell you, and said that he would let you taste it when he cooked it. If you like it, he will make it often." Aunt Wang said again.

Pan-fried longli fish, that was a dish that Mo Xiuyuan once made for her.

That time in Huo Yanci's refrigerator, Qiao Shinian did see processed fish, so Huo Yanci wanted to make more delicious fish in an attempt to surpass Mo Xiuyuan?

"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Huo really cares about you. Once you were not feeling well, it was Mr. Huo who made ginger tea for you."

Aunt Wang couldn't help but speak up for Huo Yanci, "And the longevity noodles you ate on the morning of your birthday were also cooked by Mr. Huo. But he was afraid that you wouldn't accept it, so he repeatedly told me not to tell you..."

Thinking of the slightly burnt eggs on her birthday, Qiao Shinian's tears fell without any warning.

Aunt Wang and the part-time worker were a little confused by Qiao Shinian's reaction, and they even asked her what was wrong.

Qiao Shinian shook his head and said it was okay.

She told the hourly worker that she no longer had to buy groceries or come to clean every day. She only needed to do it twice a week, and she would pay the fees.

Although the hourly worker didn't understand why, he nodded anyway.

After the hourly worker left, Qiao Shinian came to Huo Yanci's house. His door lock was set with a password.

Qiao Shinian subconsciously entered her birthday, and the door lock actually opened.

When I walked into the room, I was filled with the scent of Huo Yanci.

The refrigerator was still full of dishes. When she opened the kitchen cabinet door, she found that there were recipes for many dishes posted inside. All of them were her favorites, and there was even a recipe for secret hot pot seasoning.

Qiao Shinian slowly closed the cabinet door and walked to Huo Yanci's study.

There were some things on the desk. Qiao Shinian picked them up and took a look. They were all her photos.

Some of the photos were the same as those in the album he gave her last birthday, and some of them Qiao Shinian had never seen before.

I don’t know where Huo Yanci found them, but there are pictures of her smiling happily, one of her playing drums, and one of her standing in front of an orchid and smelling its fragrance.

Qiao Shinian vaguely remembered that they had not divorced yet at that time, and when she was taking pictures outside with Grandma Huo, Huo Yanci left.

She didn't want to pay attention to him, so she deliberately took her time to smell the flowers, not wanting Huo Yanci to take a picture of it.

Qiao Shinian slowly put the photo down, but found a page of letter paper underneath with a lot of things written on it.

She took a glance and saw that it was Huo Yanci's handwriting, probably written before her birthday, but for some reason he didn't send it to her.

Qiao Shinian picked up the letter.

It started with "Happy Birthday" and some blessings, and ended with mentioning their first meeting.

Nian Nian, you may not believe this, but when I first saw you, who was so confident and outspoken, I strangely felt inferior. I wondered what kind of person could be worthy of a woman like you?

The second time I met you, I wanted to take the initiative to say hello, but I didn't take the first step. Later, I couldn't help but follow you to the back garden, thinking about how to talk to you naturally and not deliberately...

I was actually very nervous when I went to see you with your hairpin, but I was also conceited and arrogant. When I heard what Cheng Wanxin said, I felt that I was being played and humiliated.

I didn't even have the courage to ask you for confirmation, I was afraid you would nod and say yes. I ridiculously defended my so-called self-esteem, which caused me to miss the years when you loved me the most and made you suffer so much.

Nian Nian, I love you.

I really know I was wrong, can you give me another chance to love you?

The letter fell, and tears covered Qiao Shinian's cheeks.

It felt like something had cut a hole in my heart, and all the emotions that had been accumulating over the past few days burst out.

Qiao Shinian covered her heart tightly in pain, and cried out with shaking shoulders.

……

A week later, Yiming Investment Bank had found a suitable professional manager.

After Qiao Shinian finished his work, he contacted Li Boting and expressed his desire to go to the country where he and his mother first met.

Li Boting naturally agreed to her request. He said that Li's company had a branch there, and as long as Qiao Shinian wanted, she could take up the position at any time.

As the day of leaving the country approached, Qiao Shinian still went to Huo Garden.

The number of servants in Huo Garden did not decrease, but Qiao Shinian just felt that there was a sense of desolation here.

Huo's mother Fang Qianru has lost weight, but there is still sadness in her eyes.

Qiao Shinian looked at her, as if there was a stone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

"Aunt, I'm sorry." He finally managed to squeeze out these words, but they sounded so pale.

Fang Qianru shook her head. "It's not your fault. As long as you live well, Yan Ci will be happy."

Qiao Shinian's heart ached and she nodded with a choked voice, "Yeah."

"I heard from Yushan that you are planning to go abroad?" Fang Qianru asked.
