President, steal a baby from you!

Chapter 591, Grand Finale ([-]) Liao Qingzi came back from shopping, but did not find Qiao Yichuan in the living room, so she went to the study.

Pushing open the door and entering, seeing him sitting at the desk surfing the Internet, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going out, I was scared to death. There are your wanted warrants everywhere outside, you'd better not go out during this time , wait until the wind is not so tight, then go out to get some fresh air, and just tell me what you need."

Qiao Yichuan did not answer, but stared blankly at a familiar figure on the computer screen with scarlet eyes.

Thinking of how she actually kissed me with that man in front of him in the bookstore that day, he wished he could drag this couple out and kill them.

Li Shaoqian, who is he, why should he rob his woman!

And Jiang Yuanxi, she is really cheap!

In what way is Qiao Yijian inferior to that Li Shaoqian, so that she wants to ignore his existence so much!

Or, does she like that kind of experienced old man?

It seems that she is nothing more than that.

She looks pure and innocent on the surface, but she is also an out-and-out woman in bed.

Come to think of it, Li Shaoqian must be very big, he must have made her drunk,

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why she fell in love with him.

If I had known that she was so shameless and lacking in men, I shouldn't have been so polite to her back then, so I'd just go straight to her.

Seeing that he didn't reply, and kept staring at the computer screen with a sneer, and his eyes were full of madness, Liao Qingzi raised her eyebrows curiously, and then quietly came behind him.

Following his gaze, he realized that there were photos of the Jiang family sisters on the screen, and he was staring at his sister Jiang Yuanxi.

Ever since they met unexpectedly at the door of Jiang's villa that day, she knew that he liked Jiang Yuanxi, and Li Shaoqian happened to be his rival in love.

They have a common goal, which is why she reached a united front with him.

Seeing through his thoughts, Liao Qingzi smiled and said, "Why, miss her?"

"Miss him?" Hearing this, Qiao Yichuan immediately sneered, "Is this kind of humiliation worth thinking about?"

"Zijian, don't be duplicity, I can see that you still like her very much. Since you can't forget her, take her back. To be honest, this girl is pretty good-looking, quite cute, and she has a good figure, yes The type of lover you men like. It's just her mouth, which is a bit annoying. I saw it last time at Jiang's house, and her quarrel skills are really top-notch. "

Sitting on the sofa beside him, the scheming Liao Qingzi deliberately stimulated him.

"However, you have to be mentally prepared. I think she is definitely not a c|girl. Judging by the degree of intimacy between her and Li Shaoqian, I am afraid that she has crossed the threshold long ago. I know that you men have c|girls for the women they love. Complex, right?"

Turning off the unsightly webpage, Qiao Yichuan immediately withdrew his gaze from the computer screen, leaned lazily on the back of the chair with his arms folded, and sneered disapprovingly.

"I don't need you to remind me of this, I know it. That's why I said she's not worth my thinking about her, she's just as worthless as her dead mother Xu Na!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yichuan, who seemed so gentle and gentle, could still swear bad words, and it was ugly, and the key object was the woman he liked. Liao Qingzi was surprised, but also secretly laughed at Jiang Yuanxi in her heart.

I don't know how she would feel if she heard Qiao Yichuan scold him like that.

It can be seen that he was very aggrieved by staying at home during this period, and his father's imprisonment also hit him hard. He should hate Jiang's family, especially Jiang Yuanxi.

Therefore, when Liao Qingzi turned her eyes, she suddenly had a plan.

"Zijian, since you hate Jiang Yuanxi, why don't we give her some color? Just in time, I have been worrying that I can't find a chance to deal with Li Shaoqian. How about this, why don't we arrest Jiang Yuanxi and force her to Li Shaoqian showed up. Let's find a quieter place to avenge revenge and repay grievances. I think you haven't tasted Jiang Yuanxi, have you? Anyway, she has only broken shoes. Why don't you sleep with others? Yes. If you can face her in front of Li Shaoqian, I think it will be more exciting. At that time, both of them will be in pain, and it's strange if they don't break up. And we have achieved the effect of revenge, haven't we?"

"In my opinion, you are a hundred times stronger than Li Shaoqian. Jiang Yuanxi doesn't like you because she has a problem with her eyesight. Since she doesn't take you so seriously, why should you feel sorry for her? You should teach her a lesson. Yes, let her know the consequences of despising you!"

Surprisingly, he raised his eyebrows, Qiao Yichuan turned his head, and looked at Liao Qingzi with an unbelievable look, and a playful smile gradually appeared on his lips, "Liao Qingzi, your heart is really vicious, it seems that the saying goes It's true, it really is the most poisonous woman's heart!"

"What do you mean? If you don't want to cooperate, you can get here. Is it necessary to be so sarcasm?" It's fine to help him out if he doesn't appreciate it, but if you still talk about her like that, Liao Qingzi can't help being a little annoyed, and she gets up and prepares to go out.

"Don't be angry, I'm just joking." Before she could go far, Qiao Yichuan quickly stopped her.

Stopping in her tracks and turning around, Liao Qingzi curled her lips in a funny way, "Are you joking?"

Even without explaining to her, Qiao Yichuan stood up, walked towards her with his arms folded, and thought seriously, "But having said that, your idea is really good, when will it be implemented?"

Seeing his interested expression, Liao Qingzi decided to forgive him for his rudeness just now, "Anytime!"

"How about tonight?" Qiao Yichuan suggested, tapping his fingertips on the crook of his arm.

"Okay, just tonight!" Liao Qingzi is not a person who likes to be procrastinating, so Dang even nodded in agreement.

Thinking of the night's actions, especially when the scene of Jiang Yuanxi, a ignorant woman being crushed under him and ruthlessly appeared in his mind, Qiao Yichuan suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, "Anyway, I They are all wanted criminals, and they are all dead anyway, so it is better to give it a go. They will not let me have an easy time, and I will not let them have an easy time. The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's the reason!" Liao Qingzi nodded in agreement, "Even if I die, I will take Li Shaoqian as my back."

Thinking of that Li Shaoqian who looked quite strong, Qiao Yichuan thought that he could do without help, after all, she was a woman and he didn't have much strength, so he said to Liao Qingzi, "It's not convenient for me to go out now, you can go find some The thugs who can fight without fear of death come back, and the rewards are easy to talk about."

"No problem!" Liao Qingzi felt that he was very thoughtful, so she nodded without hesitation.

____________________________________________________________________________

At six o'clock sharp, Jiang Yuanxi came out of the vice president's office with a bag on her shoulders, and went straight to the office of her sister Lin Xia next door.

"President, get off work!" Pushing open the glass door of the president's office, Jiang Yuanxi didn't go in, but leaned half her body playfully, and smiled to remind the busy people at the desk reviewing documents that it was time to get off work.

"Ah, it's six o'clock so soon?" Reminded by her sister, Lin Xia then glanced at the time on the computer, only to realize that it was really six o'clock, which meant that the day was coming to an end.

The movement in his hands was still going on, and he raised his head and smiled at his sister, Lin Xia couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Time flies! But what should I do, I still have a lot of work to do. Are you waiting for me?" , or go first?"

Seeing that she didn't take any time off while she was talking, Jiang Yuanxi couldn't help but frowned with distress, "Can't we do it tomorrow?"

"No, there will be things tomorrow, and these documents must be dealt with today." Putting the approved documents aside, Lin Xia opened the next one and continued.

I really want to help my sister, but she gets a headache looking at those digital planning plans, Jiang Yuanxi can't help shaking her shoulders at her sister, "Hey, I don't understand these things, and I can't help you, what should I do!"

While talking to her younger sister, Lin Xia buried herself in her official duties, but in fact, she also wanted to finish it quickly so that she could go to the hospital to see the child's father, "It's okay, why don't you go back first, I'll finish the job Let's go again. You and Shaoqian should have an appointment, right?"

Half of her body was leaning on the desk, watching her sign the documents eloquently, Jiang Yuanxi secretly sighed that her sister was so quick to start, she really inherited the old mother and father's business mind, "Well, he is a bit busy today, call me Go directly to his company to find him. Actually, I originally wanted to get off work with you for a while, to see my brother and then go to Li Shi, I haven't seen my brother for several days, is the injury on his head healed soon?"

"Well, it's almost over. It's no accident. You can go through the discharge procedures next week. You don't know how impatient he is, and he is yelling to be discharged every day. Your eldest mother is going to be annoyed by him." Referring to Cheng When Xiao Xiao, Lin Xia naturally had a happy smile on his face.

Jiang Yuanxi spoke for her brother with envy, "He loves you so much, seeing your belly getting bigger day by day, not only has to take care of the company's affairs, but also runs back and forth to the hospital, can he not be in a hurry ?”

"I know, in fact, it won't be very hard for more than four months now. The hardest time is when you have nausea. By the way, you have been suffering from nausea for more than a month, why haven't you started to suffer from nausea?"

"I don't know. The doctor said that everyone's situation is different. However, it's good not to be sick, and you won't vomit after eating. How good it is." Bowing her head, she touched her belly that hadn't changed yet, and Jiang Yuanxi smiled happily open.

She raised her head and smiled at her younger sister. Lin Xia felt that it was pretty good for the two sisters to talk about pregnancy together, "I really envy you. You don't even know how bad I am. Many people only start after a month or so. Nausea, I got sick earlier than others, and I started to get sick when I was more than three weeks old, and I didn't vomit until recently. Hey, pregnancy is really hard."

"But it will be fine after being born. Look how happy Lan Yan's sister-in-law is. By the way, let's go to see Duo Duo together sometime. I miss her so much!"

"Okay, this weekend."

Thinking that she would not be able to help if she stayed, Jiang Yuanxi decided to take the first step, "Sister, I see that you still have something to do, so I will be unkind and let you go first. Shaoqian said to go to the musical with me tonight , I’m afraid he’ll be unhappy if he’s late.”

"Go, have fun." Lin Xia looked up and watched her leave.

"Then sister, you should be busy first, so it's better not to make it too late, lest brother and eldest mother worry. Also, drive carefully when you go back, be careful of your children, and don't drive too fast. I won't go to see brother today, you Say hello to him and the eldest mother for me." Before going out, Jiang Yuanxi did not forget to ask her sister.

Lin Xia smiled gratefully, and did not expect to remind her, "Understood, you too."

"En." Nodding, Jiang Yuanxi took the door and left first.

Looking back from the direction of the door, Lin Xia pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her head and continued working.

____________________________________________________________________________

In the underground parking lot, Jiang Yuanxi took out the car keys in her pocket and walked towards the pink limited edition Beetle that their family Shaoqian bought for her.

She just found out the key and was about to zip up the link of the bag, but suddenly her mouth was covered with a handkerchief from behind.

Subconsciously, she opened her eyes wide and tried to struggle, but the fragrance from the handkerchief floated into her nostrils, making her lose all strength.

Suddenly, she felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. The next second, her legs softened and her eyes closed, and she passed out.

Seeing her fainted, a black car with double flashing lights in the corner drove up to them like lightning.

The car door was opened from the inside immediately, the man saw the situation, quickly picked up the fainted woman in his arms, and got in as fast as he could.

Immediately afterwards, the car rushed out of the underground parking lot of Yuanyi Group at the speed of a dragon.

After Li Shaoqian was busy with the work at hand, he couldn't help feeling very speechless when he saw that his little girl hadn't arrived yet.

I was about to call her and ask her what she was doing and why she hadn't arrived yet, but the phone rang at this moment.

Seeing that it was her number, he smiled crookedly, thinking that she had a conscience and knew to call him.

However, to punish her for being late, he decided to tease her.

After pressing the answer button, before she could speak, Li Shaoqian pretended to be angry and scolded her, "You still know how to call, what time is it, and when is my appointment with you? The concept of time?"

I thought she would say to him in a soft and soft voice as usual, 'I'm sorry, I know I was wrong'. As a result, after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, it was not Xier's voice, but Another voice he was all too familiar with.

——"Li Shaoqian, don't you come here unharmed?"

He recognized this voice even when it turned into ashes, it was Liao Qingzi!

Hearing this, Li Shaoqian suddenly felt something was wrong, and suddenly stood up from the executive chair, turned the mobile phone to the other hand, and asked her with one hand on his hip and frowning, "Why is it you, Liao Qingzi! How come Xier's phone is in your hands, you... what did you do to her?"

"Yo, she's so nervous, it seems that Second Miss Jiang holds a lot of weight in your heart!" In the car, Liao Qingzi jokingly smiled at the person on the phone, while reaching out to caress the unconscious Jiang Yuanxi's face. Face, "tsk tsk tsk, what a beautiful face that makes people jealous, the skin is so good, no wonder our President Li is so fascinated. But, I don't know how many times it will hurt to scratch this flimsy little face. What does it feel like, I really want to try it.”

Hearing her words, Li Shaoqian on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat, and knew without guessing that Xi'er must be in her hands now.

Li Shaoqian took a deep breath, clenched his chest tightly, and said to her in an almost pleading tone, "Liao Qingzi, the one you want to take revenge on is me, what's your rush?" Just let me come, don't touch Xi'er!"

Liao Qingzi was trained by him alone, he knew exactly what she was like, he made her anxious, she could do anything, so he could only lower his profile.

Xi'er was his true love that he met only after walking half his life, not to mention she was pregnant with his flesh and blood now, he couldn't let her have the slightest mistake.

"Xi'er? Hehe, it's really affectionate!" Liao Qingzi smiled disapprovingly, and Liao Qingzi's eyes were full of hatred, "However, what should I do, I really want to touch her!"

Faced with her deliberate provocation, Li Shaoqian was not to be outdone, his thin lips curled slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he warned her word by word, "If you dare to touch a single hair of her, Liao Qingzi, I, Li Shaoqian, swear that I will definitely kill you!" Your corpse will be smashed to pieces!"

"Really?" Liao Qingzi raised her lips and smiled fearlessly, the hand on Jiang Yuanxi's face subconsciously tightened, and Liao Qingzi pinched her face fiercely.

Even though Jiang Yuanxi had passed out and was unconscious, she just wanted to do that.

Who made her happen to be the woman Li Shaoqian likes, but she will destroy everything Li Shaoqian likes.

"Li Shaoqian, do you think you have the position to threaten me now? Don't forget, your woman is in my hands now!"

"You!" Li Shaoqian was anxious and annoyed, and punched the desk. He inhaled and exhaled, and finally chose to compromise, "Tell me, what exactly do you want? I think your goal should not be Xier, it's me!"

With a few sneers, Liao Qingzi immediately let go of Jiang Yuanxi's face, sat back with her arms folded, and said directly to the person on the phone, "I'll see you in that abandoned factory in Xishan in an hour. Remember, you are only allowed one person. Come on, if you let me see anyone other than you, or if you dare to call the police, you will never see Jiang Yuanxi alive in your life, if you don't believe me, you can try!"

After finishing speaking, Liao Qingzi hung up the phone with a snap.

"Liao Qingzi, Liao Qingzi..." Before she had time to stop, a beeping busy tone came from the phone, and Li Shaoqian was so angry that his veins burst out.

However, when he thought that Xi'er was now in Liao Qingzi's hands, he was so anxious that he couldn't care less about getting angry.

Grabbing the coat on the back of the chair, he hurriedly put it on, rushed out of the office in a hurry, and went straight to the direction of the underground parking lot.

Not long after the car drove out of the parking lot, he wanted to call his younger brother Lei Yao to ask him for help. After all, he was calm and calm, and he was always the best.

However, when he was about to dial the number, he suddenly remembered Liao Qingzi's warning, so he hesitated again.

In the end, for the sake of Xi'er's safety, Li Shaoqian didn't call his younger brother after thinking about it again and again.

The grievances between him and Liao Qingzi must be settled, so it is better to take advantage of today to speak clearly.

Cen Leng's thin lips were tightly pursed into a stern line, Li Shaoqian clenched the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and headed towards the abandoned factory that Liao Qingzi mentioned at the fastest speed.

Now he was only concerned about Xi'er, and hoped that she would be fine, otherwise he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

When Jiang Yuanxi woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment, and she frowned suspiciously.

Digging her head and looking around, through observation, she found that this place seemed to be an abandoned warehouse.

Because the factory-like structure is obvious, and there are many moldy wooden boxes piled up around it.

It feels like the wrist is being strangled by something, which is very uncomfortable. I try to move my limbs, but I can't move at all.

Looking down, she realized that she was actually tied to a pillar.

In addition, the scene that happened in the underground parking lot was gradually revived in my mind,

She remembered someone sneaking up on her from behind, putting a handkerchief over her mouth and knocking her out.

If she guessed right, the handkerchief must have been mixed with drugs, otherwise, she wouldn't have passed out so easily.

While struggling hard, she stared and looked around, trying to find the culprit who tied her up, she cursed loudly in embarrassment, "Bastard, who tied me here, I'm impatient, right? Plant it for me, come out!"

——"I haven't seen you for a while, your temper has grown, Xi'er!"

Under her provocation, a familiar voice suddenly came from her ear, and she subconsciously convulsed. She turned her head and saw a familiar silhouette that she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Qian Qiao, is that you?"

Followed by Liao Qingzi and two strange men.

The rope was tied very tightly, and Jiang Yuanxi struggled for a while without any signs of slack, so she simply didn't bother to struggle.

Anyway, seeing so many of them, even if she broke free, she might not be able to escape, so she might as well see what they were thinking.

Sneering and glaring at Qiao Yichuan and Liao Qingzi, Jiang Yuanxi curled her lips into a playful smile, "Hey, so you two got together! It really proves the idiom, a nest of snakes and rats!"

"You!" I didn't expect this girl to curse as soon as she woke up. Liao Qingzi was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched. How to do something big!"

Freeing her hand from his palm, Liao Qingzi glanced at him provocatively, "I think you just don't want me to hit her, right?"

"How is it possible? I want to keep this woman and torture him slowly." He curled his lips casually, and Qiao Yichuan's dark eyes fell directly on Jiang Yuanxi, obviously deliberately speaking for her to hear.

Jiang Yuanxi became angry when she heard this, and gave him a vicious look, and was about to scold him a few words, clinker, but Liao Qingzi's words startled her into a cold sweat.

"Well, I'm not interested in this woman, you can do whatever you want. However, Li Shaoqian's fate is decided by me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanxi immediately understood, why did she forget that Liao Qingzi had a grudge against the uncle, and they must have threatened the uncle by arresting her this time.

Feeling flustered, Jiang Yuanxi secretly prayed that the uncle would never come, even though she knew that the chance was very small, after all, the uncle cared so much about her, and it was impossible not to come when he learned that something happened to her, but she still hoped that he would not show up, she I would rather have something to do with myself than to let him get hurt a little bit.

"Liao Qingzi, what on earth are you trying to do? I warn you, don't hurt our uncle, otherwise be careful and I will fight you desperately!"

"You can't protect yourself now, and you still have the strength to threaten me. Jiang Yuanxi, you have been kicked by a donkey!"

Jiang Yuanxi is the type that the more you bully her, the more she will fight against you. In the past, she was unhappy with Liao Qingzi, how could she tolerate being scolded by such a snake-hearted woman, "You were kicked out of your brain by a donkey!" , Your whole family was kicked by donkeys!"

"What did you say, say it again if you have the guts, believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Liao Qingzi was so angry that her chest was tight, she pointed at her nose and yelled.

Jiang Yuanxi snorted disapprovingly, ignored her warning at all, and was about to continue to provoke her, when the door of the warehouse was suddenly opened by an outsider, and then a strong man came in, who seemed to be their subordinate .

The man walked up to Liao Qingzi and Qiao Yichuan, nodded and bowed to them, and then reported to them, "Here we are!"

"Is it alone?" Liao Qingzi asked with a meaningful look in the direction of the door.

"A few of us have checked, and it's one person." The man answered truthfully.

"Got it, let's bring people in!" Qiao Yichuan said.

The strong man took the order, turned around and headed for the door again.

After hearing their conversation clearly, Jiang Yuanxi guessed that it was the uncle who came. While she was anxious, she also secretly scolded him in her heart.

Uncle idiot, what are you doing here? Isn't this sending you to death?

Seeing her biting her lips anxiously, Liao Qingzi glanced at Qiao Yijian next to her, and deliberately teased her, "Why, now I know I'm worried? Unfortunately, it's too late. Aren't you good at cursing, why don't you? Jiang Yuanxi, Let me tell you, I will let you understand in a while, what is life is better than death!"

Looking worriedly at the gate of the warehouse, Jiang Yuanxi yelled at Liao Qingzi impatiently, "Liao Qingzi, are you being unreasonable? Your brother died of illness, so it's none of your business!"

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense here!" Liao Qingzi shot at Jiang Yuanxi unceremoniously with her cold eyes. When she mentioned her younger brother Alang, her voice trembled visibly, "He even killed Alang!" You can hide it from me for so long, who knows if he cured A Lang? He clearly promised me that he would cure A Lang, but he didn't mean anything. What I did for their father and son was in vain It's a lot of trouble, but in the end, it's the news of Alang's death, and their Li family is too deceitful!"

Jiang Yuanxi felt that this person was simply unreasonable. When she wanted to argue with her again, she suddenly saw the door of the warehouse being opened from the outside again. What she was worried about finally came, because their uncle was pushed from the outside by two burly men. It was brought in.

Angrily and annoyed, she glared at Li Shaoqian, and Jiang Yuanxi's eyes were red with anxiety, "What are you doing here, isn't this sending you to death?"

Finally seeing his little girl and seeing that she was fine, Li Shaoqian let go of his hanging heart.

Knowing that she was yelling at him because she was worried about him, Li Shaoqian was not angry, but moved and smiled, "How could I ignore you, not to mention they came after me in the first place."

The knife was almost up to his neck, yet he could still laugh. Jiang Yuanxi was angry and annoyed, and when she was in a hurry, her tears burst into tears, "You fool, you know it's coming for you, but you still come ,so stupid!"

He loved the way she scolded him so much, Li Shaoqian smiled at her, and then turned his attention to Liao Qingzi who was beside him. However, when he saw Qiao Yichuan's existence, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, especially when he looked at Qiao Qingzi. Seeing the incomprehensible curve at the corner of Qiao Yichuan's mouth, he suddenly began to worry about Xi'er's safety.

This man, who is now a wanted criminal, is simply a dog jumping over the wall, and he is interested in Xier, but Xier's heart is not on him, so he is very worried that he will do something to hurt Xier because of love.

However, since he is here, he will be at ease, as long as Li Shaoqian is around, he will never allow anyone to hurt his wife and children.

I also knew that they would not let Xi'er go easily, but Li Shaoqian still wanted to give it a try, "Liao Qingzi, as you wish, I have already come, and I came alone, can I let Xi'er go now!"

"If you want us to let you go, it's fine, but it depends on your performance!" She came to him with her arms folded and smiled meaningfully. Liao Qingzi immediately snapped her fingers at the four hired men. The four of them twisted their necks, moved their wrists and ankles, and with wild smiles on their faces, they approached Li Shaoqian from four directions: front, back, left, and right.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Yuanxi guessed that the uncle would not fight back because of her, so she hurriedly yelled at Li Shaoqian with tears streaming down her face, "Li Shaoqian, don't be polite to them if you are a man, my Jiang Yuanxi's man is not a coward! If If you dare to fight back, believe it or not, I will ignore you in the future!"

When Liao Qingzi heard what she said, she was afraid that Li Shaoqian would not give in, so she quickly winked at Qiao Qiaoqiao, "Zijian, why are you still standing there, don't tell me, your heart has softened, and you don't want to do anything to her!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yichuan cast a provocative glance at Li Shaoqian who was surrounded by four subordinates, then walked towards Jiang Yuanxi with a grin on his face.

Stretching out a hand to grab Jiang Yuanxi's chin, he looked at her and smiled wickedly, "Xi'er, since you are so lacking in men, why don't you let me satisfy you once and see if I am the better one or He's better, huh?"

Turning her face away and breaking her chin out of his palm, Jiang Yuanxi glared at him in disgust, and spat in his face unceremoniously, "Bah, you are worthy of being compared with uncle, and you don't piss. Take care of your own virtue."

****

I was wrong, it will take another update to finish.

It's about to end, only to realize that there are a lot of things to explain, dear friends, please forgive me.
