Unrequited love after a long absence

The marriage of Qiao Han's family made explosive headlines on the day of the engagement banquet.Reporters swarmed in, the flashing lights kept flashing, and Shen Beibei's stiff smile.There was no trace of a smile on the face of pink make-up and jade. Qiao Nan's retreat did not make Qiao Nan completely let go of his guard. He knew too well that with Qiao Xiheng's character, he would not compromise so easily, and agreeing to the engagement was just a tactic to delay the attack.

Han Yuanyao and Chu Zhihuai came late, Shen Jun frowned slightly, but unexpectedly, Han Yuanyao did not contradict him, but instead smiled at him and congratulated him.In the crowd, Qiao Xiheng saw Chu Zhihuai who hadn't seen him for a long time.Chu Zhihuai's complexion was much better than before, not as haggard as he imagined.

Feeling hot eyes staring at him, Chu Zhihuai turned his head to meet Qiao Xiheng's cold eyes.Wearing a neat suit, he has the irresistible charm of a mature man. The boy he once loved has completely lost his childish shadow.

The corners of Chu Zhihuai's mouth slid out naturally, and he nodded towards Qiao Xiheng. Everything went with the flow, as if the once deep love had vanished into thin air.

The appearance of Shen Beibei brought the focus back to the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family.After careful grooming by the makeup artist, today's Shen Beibei looks like a lady.That was also the first time Han Yuanyao looked at Shen Beibei seriously.If Shen Beibei wasn't Xia Qingyou's daughter, maybe they could really be brothers and sisters.It's a pity that such an assumption does not exist in this world.

Gu Qing stood beside Han Yuanyao, turned his head calmly and whispered to Han Yuanyao, "I heard from my father that Shen Jun just fired the general manager of Han's who was ineffective yesterday. This is an opportunity."

"Will Shen Jun agree?" Han Yuanyao didn't believe that Shen Jun would let go so easily.

"At that time, the board of directors will be held. Your shares plus what your mother gave you, you can make a tie. As for the rest, Chen Yi has already arranged it, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I see."

Qiao Xiheng held Shen Beibei's hand under everyone's expectation. The close distance between the two seemed to outsiders to be a perfect couple.Shen Beibei said in a voice that only Jo Xiheng could hear, "Josh Heng, you can't lie to me."

"I never joke with my own interests, Miss Shen, we have a happy cooperation."

Qiao Xiheng raised the corners of his lips, and the reporters pressed the shutters one after another, capturing the moment when Jo Xiheng smiled.They were all guessing what Shen Beibei said to Jo Xiheng to make Jo Xiheng smile.Shen Jun looked at the newcomer in front of him quite relievedly, and said to Qiao Nan who was standing beside him, "Mr. Qiao, we will be in-laws from now on."

"I would also like to ask Mr. Shen to take care of me." Qiao Nan smiled calmly.

Time stopped at that moment.Chu Zhihuai saw Qiao Xiheng lowered his head with a smile, and kissed Shen Beibei's side face.Tightening his palms, he didn't know if he was smiling ugly.This is the last farewell, or it is just for my last heart to die.

The music lingered, and the engaged men and women led the scene to dance the first dance.Chu Zhihuai suddenly felt a little nauseous, and the blood faded from his pale face, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Qiao Xiheng glanced lightly at Chu Zhihuai who was leaving in a hurry.And Han Yuanyao's gloomy look.The melodious music stopped, he greeted Shen Beibei and chased in the direction where Chu Zhihuai left.Chu Zhihuai took a deep breath in the mirror and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qiao Xiheng.

"Zihuai, long time no see."

"have not seen you for a long time."

"Thank you for coming today."

"No." Chu Zhihuai glanced at Qiao Xiheng, then said calmly, "I'm here with Yuanyao."

"It's not important, what's important is that you're here." Qiao Xiheng knew that Chu Zhihuai would say that, "You're here, it proves that you still can't forget me."

"I didn't know that your subjective ability is so strong." Chu Zhihuai didn't bother to argue with Qiao Xiheng, "I'm leaving if there is nothing else. I don't think we are suitable for reminiscing about the old days."

"Wait." Qiao Xiheng grabbed Chu Zhihuai's hand and said, "Zhihuai, if I say that today's wedding banquet is just a game I set up, will you come back to me?"

Chu Zhihuai stared at Qiao Xiheng without blinking, until Qiao Xiheng felt hairy all over his body, and then he said, "Qiao Xiheng, you made a mistake. I have never been by your side, and there is no need to bring it back to your side."

"Zhihuai, you don't love Han Yuanyao, why are you still with him? You can't lie to me."

Chu Zhihuai suddenly felt that arguing with Qiao Xiheng on such a boring question was exhausting, so he said, "Qiao Xiheng, are you willing to let go of everything today and leave with me?"

"are you willing?"

"Give up Trader Joe's. Give up everything. I'll be with you."

Qiao Xiheng didn't say a word, which was obviously a difficulty for others.Chu Zhihuai laughed mockingly, "You can't."

"Because you are Josh Heng."

"Josh Heng, it's been too many years. My love for you has become an inseparable part of my body. Or it's a habit."

"We can't be lovers, we're still friends. If you still want to be friends, stop saying the same thing to me. I've heard enough."

Qiao Xiheng grasped Chu Zhihuai's wrist tightly and said, "Zhihuai, you must be so extreme? I have done so much, all for..."

"For yourself, for the Qiao family, not for me. Don't lie to me with that kind of lie again. If I were the brat back then, I might still believe it, but I'm not anymore."

Chu Zhihuai suddenly felt that enough had been said, and the heartache just now was released after the heart-to-heart confession.He felt sorry for Jo Xiheng, because he didn't understand what he wanted at all.

"You don't want to let go of my hand now, it's just because no one will love you again without complaint or regret."

"Josh Heng, your love for me has never been love."

"Can you confirm that Han Yuanyao loves you? Zhihuai, are you so naive to believe it? Do you know the outside reports──"

Qiao Xiheng's roar like a trapped animal did not deter Chu Zhihuai who was calm at the moment.

"I know."

"But I have eyes. I have a heart. I don't need to judge Yuan Yao from outside reports."

"You don't have any of these things, Josh Heng."

Han Yuanyao kissed him carefully and kept a proper distance, all to prove that he loved him.

"I don't know what is the purpose of your engagement with Shen Beibei."

"But please don't hurt Yuan Yao."

Josh Heng's eyes widened.As if the person in front of him was not Chu Zhihuai, "You told me not to hurt him?"

"I hope that each of you will not hurt him." Chu Zhihuai took a deep breath, "Josh Heng, you are becoming more and more scary, don't you know?"

Chu Zhihuai suddenly understood why he was feeling dizzy and nauseated just now.It's not because of the heart-wrenching pain of losing his first love, but simply feeling the horror of the man in front of him.The hypocritical smile, the hypocritical wedding, the hypocritical feelings, he used to think that Qiao Xiheng was selfish, but now Chu Zhihuai can clearly see this man.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ In the office, Chen Yi was holding a teacup, with the heat lingering in front of his eyes. Chen Yi, "You threatened me?!"

Chen Yi smiled slightly, and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Director Lin, don't do anything wrong, and you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

Chen Yi entrusted his friend's detective agency to monitor Lin Xiao, the most neutral member of the board of directors.It is not known why he suddenly changed the direction of the wind and stood on Shen Jun's side at the board meeting, but what is interesting is that Chen Yi found out that this man who has always been called a good husband and father by outsiders took care of a young woman outside. And even have children.The owner of the family didn't even know about it, which shows that Lin Xiao is extremely resourceful.

"Mrs. Zun must have never seen these photos. Does she know that her good husband is getting a side room for her outside?" Chen Yi has always spoken harshly, which may be due to the nature of his profession as a lawyer.

"Chen Yi! Don't be too arrogant, you are just a little lawyer. Do you believe that I can keep you from getting along?"

Facing Lin Xiao's fury, Chen Yi looked calm, "Why is Director Lin so nervous. I certainly believe that you can keep me from getting along. But, is it really okay for these photos to go out?" Chen Yi said happily Look at these unsightly photos.But Lin Xiao grabbed it and tore it to pieces.

"Director Lin, I have the photos on file. I have as many photos as you want." Chen Yi crossed his hands and smiled harmlessly. "I think Director Lin must not want the photos to leak out, so let's make a deal."

Although a person like Lin Xiao takes care of a mistress outside, it doesn't mean that he is willing to abandon his family.What's more, it's not that he doesn't love his wife, it's just that the woman was pregnant at the time, and he couldn't bear to take away his own child, so he made such a bad move.I thought it was perfect, but Chen Yi discovered it.

"What deal?"

"At the next board meeting, you will come forward to support Han Yuanyao."

"You and Han Yuanyao are actually together. I should have thought of it earlier." Lin Xiao laughed, "Han Yuanyao can't support the Han family."

"How much benefit did Shen Jun give you?" Chen Yi looked at Lin Xiao indifferently.

"What benefits? Why did Shen Jun give me benefits?" Lin Xiao obviously lacked confidence when he said this, and there was a hint of panic.

"It cost Director Lin a lot of money to keep a mistress outside, right?"

Lin Xiao's blood color faded by half, Chen Yi felt that the effect had been achieved, and then said insincerely, "I am also doing it for the good of Director Lin. The Han family will eventually return to the hands of the surname Han, it's just a matter of time? You won't really You naively thought that the Han family would change their surname to Shen, right?"

"Supporting Han Yuanyao also leaves a way out for Director Lin in the future."

"Director Lin is also an old man who is used to seeing the big world in the mall. I think you know better than me what kind of decision to make is beneficial to you. Don't rush to give me an answer now. At the next board meeting, I look forward to Director Lin and Different statements."

Seeing Lin Xiao's unpredictable expression before he left, Chen Yi knew that Lin Xiao had almost been taken care of by him, so he called Gu Qing and told him that everything had been arranged.
