Chapter 280 Unnamed Draft
"It's getting late. Go get your clothes and wash up. Remember to rest early after washing up. You are exhausted today. I will sleep in the guest bedroom tonight." Duan Yuchen said gently. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left the cloakroom in a hurry. In fact, he knew very well that if he stayed for another second, he would find it difficult to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
......
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the dining table, illuminating the delicious breakfast. After Qiao Jingyu and Duan Yuchenxin finished their meal, they went out together to the company to start a new day's work.
On the other side, Qin An also arrived in front of the Duan Group building early. When Qiao Jingyu led Qin An into the company gate, Jiang Yuebin, who was busy, suddenly looked up and saw the two of them at a glance. In an instant, Jiang Yuebin's face was full of astonishment, and his mouth opened wide, as if an egg could fit in it. After several seconds, he came back to his senses and stammered, "You...you mean, Teacher Qin will work here from now on?"
Qiao Jingyu smiled and nodded slightly to show her approval. Qin An generously extended his right hand to Jiang Yuebin, with a friendly smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, from today on, we are colleagues, please take care of me!"
Jiang Yuebin was still in extreme shock at this time. He shook hands with Qin An in a daze, but his eyes were always fixed on Qiao Jingyu, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from her. So, he couldn't wait to ask again: "Sister Qiao, how did you invite Teacher Qin? Tell me quickly!" Facing Jiang Yuebin's curious eyes, Qiao Jingyu just smiled slightly, showing a mysterious expression, then opened her red lips and slowly uttered a sentence: "Nothing is difficult in the world if you are determined!"
The Liu Zhenqiang incident was a secret to Qiao Jingyu, and she didn't want others to know the inside story. After all, it was harder than climbing to the sky to explain to others why she could predict the occurrence of an earthquake and how she knew that a murder had occurred in Lanyue Huafu. So, instead of racking her brains to make up some untenable reasons, it would be better to bury this secret deep in her heart, as long as the final result was a happy ending for everyone.
In the case of Lanyue Huafu, thanks to Su Wanqing's active cooperation, the police investigation went very smoothly, and the truth was found out soon. Liu Zhenqiang not only deliberately concealed the fact after causing the death of others due to negligence, but even worse, as the saying goes, "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it", his ugly act of secretly replacing the pillars of the cinema building was also exposed and reported. Faced with such solid evidence and serious crimes, the court finally sentenced Liu Zhenqiang to five years in prison, making him pay the price for his mistakes.
……
That night, Qiao Jingyu finished a busy day at work and returned to the Qiao family. When the family sat around the table for dinner, Qiao Jingyu seemed to be nonchalant while putting food into her mouth, and asked casually: "Dad, grandma, if I find a very rich boyfriend, will you agree?" Hearing this, Han Shuqin couldn't help but smile and quickly replied: "Of course! My dear daughter, if you can find a rich boyfriend, you will definitely not suffer if you follow him."
At this moment, Qiao Fukang, who was eating, suddenly stopped picking up the food in his hand. He slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Jingyu who was sitting opposite him. The moment their eyes met, it was as if an electric current passed through the air, and then Qiao Fukang put down his chopsticks thoughtfully.
His originally amiable face became unusually serious at this moment, and he asked in a low and powerful voice: "Are you...dating Mr. Duan?" This question was like a bombshell, instantly plunging the entire dining table into silence.
Qiao Jingyu obviously didn't expect her father to ask such a direct question. She was slightly startled at first, with a little surprise on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled brightly, saying, "Oh, Dad, you are really amazing. You can even guess this!"
However, in stark contrast to Qiao Jingyu's relaxed and cheerful attitude, Qiao Fukang frowned tightly, and a few wrinkles appeared on his forehead. He sighed deeply and said to his daughter with worry: "Jingyu, it's not that Dad wants to pour cold water on you. But think about it, the gap between your status is too big. It's hard to have a happy ending if it goes on like this."
Han Shuqin, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak. She first glanced at her husband and daughter with a suspicious look, and then asked cautiously, "Which Mr. Duan is it?"
Qiao Fukang said: "It's Duan Yuchen from the Duan Group!"
Before she finished speaking, she heard a crisp "click" sound - it turned out that when Han Shuqin heard the three words "Duan Yuchen", she was so shocked that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks in her hand, and they fell straight onto the table. She widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, as if she must have heard it wrong. So, she quickly turned her gaze to Qiao Jingyu, eager to get confirmation from her daughter, and asked in a trembling voice: "Jingyu, is this really the Mr. Duan your father mentioned?"
Qiao Jingyu nodded, "Yes, grandma, we..."
"Great, this grandson-in-law is great!" Han Shuqin said excitedly, "In the future, not only will Jingyu be able to live a life of luxury, but we can also benefit from it." After that, she looked at Qiao Fukang and said, "Fukang, you don't have to worry about the company's business anymore. With your son-in-law here, your company will definitely make a lot of money."
"Mom..." Qiao Fukang said helplessly, "We haven't even started yet, why are you saying all this? Even if Jingyu really gets together with Mr. Duan in the future, I won't rely on my connections to get projects. I can't let others say that I'm selling my daughter, and I can't make it difficult for Jingyu to work in the Duan family."
After that, he looked at Qiao Jingyu, "Jingyu, the Duan family has a deep foundation, unlike our small family. Mr. Duan is rich and powerful. He has seen all kinds of women. Why did he choose you?"
Qiao Jingyu poked at the rice in the bowl and said with a pout, "You make me sound like I'm worthless."
"Dad doesn't mean that. In my eyes, you are naturally the best, but..." Qiao Fukang didn't know how to express it for a moment. After two seconds, he continued, "Mr. Duan is older than you, and you and his nephew are classmates. Logically, your generations are different."
"Dad, he is only 29 years old, not much older than me, and Jiang Mubai is not his biological nephew. I have always called him third brother." Qiao Jingyu said, biting her chopsticks.
Qiao Fukang sighed softly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Han Shuqin, "Jingyu, don't listen to your father. Grandma agrees and supports you. Bring the person back to show grandma someday!"
