Married for a long time

She discussed the interview topics with Xia Li at noon, and also found some on the Internet.

Lu Qingru wasn't very interested, so he was playing games on the sofa in the living room outside, while Qu Zhen was interviewing Qin Man inside.

The assistant finally selected is a 22-year-old girl with short hair. She has been interning in a small business for one year since her senior year in college. Her name is Xiang Yu, and her probation period is one month.

The driver chooses one of the two boys to wear glasses, but his job content is not only a driver, but also other work content, so the salary is slightly higher than that of the female assistant, about 5000 to [-] yuan. The trial period is also one month.

After making an appointment to go to Zhangzhou tomorrow, they left.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Man called Huo Yanchi and prepared to pick up Liu Jingru at the airport.

Only then did Qu Zhen realize that today was Liu Jingru's birthday, so she proposed to celebrate her birthday together, as there would be more people and it would be more lively.

Lu Qingru had no intention of joining in the fun, but Qu Zhen still took her to a nearby shopping mall to buy gifts. They made an appointment to meet at the restaurant in an hour and a half.

More than ten minutes later, Huo Yanchi drove to the music room to pick her up.

"Have you found the assistant?" Huo Yanchi glanced at her with his peripheral vision and asked as the car started.

"Well, I found it."

Seeing what he wanted to say, Qin Man said first, "The driver has been found as well. The boy is pretty good and has a lot of experience. He can also be an assistant to Sister Li. He is proficient in three languages, which is pretty good."

Huo Yanchi nodded and said no more.

When he knew that she was looking for an assistant and driver, he actually wanted to help her arrange it directly, but he was afraid that his arrangement would make her unhappy and he felt like he was in charge of her, so he didn't mention it.

After the car drove for a while, he spoke again, "I'm going to London tomorrow."

Qin Man asked, "How many days will it take?"

"About four or five days, and then I will go to Berlin and Milan, both for four or five days."

"Ah, we are on a business trip, so we won't be able to see each other for half a month." Qin Man pursed her lips, with a hint of reluctance in her expression and words.

Huo Yanchi pursed his lips and said, "I will be back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The two waited at the airport for almost half an hour before picking up Liu Jingru.

Qin Man rushed over first and gave her a big bear hug, "Mom, happy birthday."

Huo Yanchi said, "Mom, happy birthday."

Liu Jingru smiled and patted her back, then looked at Huo Yanchi, the smile on her eyes and face getting deeper.

She also saw what happened online yesterday, and knowing that Huo Yanchi really liked her daughter, she felt relieved as a mother.

At first, she was really afraid that Qin Man would follow in her footsteps. She was always afraid that she would be unhappy in the future and live in dire straits.

She even thought that if Qin Man and Huo Yanchi divorced in the future, it would be better not to get married.

If she meets someone she likes and treats her well again, she won't stop him.

People can't shrink back just because they had a failed marriage.

Who doesn't want to be well loved and cared for?

"Thank you. Didn't you tell me? You don't need to pick me up at the airport. I can just go back by myself."

"That's different. You are the birthday boy today. It is our honor to pick him up at the airport. Come on, will it be embarrassing if Zhen Zhen and Lu Qingru arrive earlier than us?"

"Huh? Zhen Zhen and Qing Ru?" Liu Jingru looked back at her in surprise.

"Yes, they knew you had a birthday today, so they said they would help you celebrate."

"Today is not the weekend. They don't have to go to work. It's just an ordinary birthday. Why do they come here to celebrate it? Don't bother them."

"Zhen Zhen won't find it troublesome. It's not like you don't know her."

Huo Yanchi had booked the restaurant yesterday, and they arrived there with Qu Zhen and Lu Qingru.

When they were studying, the three of them often hung out together, causing their parents to know each other. However, since graduating from high school, Lu Qingru has been exposed to e-sports. The two of them are not studying in the same university, so the three of them spend a lot of time together. Very few anymore.

Qin Man and Qu Zhen have never lost contact, and they can meet up for dinner and shopping during the summer and winter vacations.

When Liu Jingru saw Lu Qingru, she praised him for growing taller and more handsome. When she learned that he and Qu Zhen were getting engaged this year, she was even more shocked.

Then he smiled and said, "Recently, the childhood sweethearts' e-sports novels are still very popular in the circle. You two really reflect the novel into reality. It's a good match made in heaven."

"Ah, Aunt Liu, can you recommend a few novels of this type to me? I'm curious as to whose male protagonist has such a bad temper."

After saying that, Qu Zhen glanced at Lu Qingru with a smile.

Lu Qingru snorted coldly, "It sounds like there is a savage heroine like you in the novel."

Qin Man: "..."

You two are evenly matched, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother.

Seeing that they were about to start fighting, Qin Man spoke up in time, "Okay, let's raise glasses first, shall we?"

Qu Zhen then turned off the engine and raised her glass with a smile, "I wish Aunt Liu a happy birthday. She will become younger and more beautiful, and the company will continue to prosper."

Liu Jingru smiled broadly, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth. Thank you."

After dinner, we sang happy birthday together, watched her blow out the candles, cut the cake, and asked the staff to take a group photo.

On the way back, Qin Man said that he wanted to sleep next to her tonight.

Liu Jingru laughed at her, "How old are you, and you still want to sleep next to me? Go back to your own home and sleep. Aren't you going to Tingzhou tomorrow? Don't you want to pack your things?"

"No matter, I won't leave until tomorrow afternoon. It's too late to go back and pack things in the morning." Qin Man hugged her tightly and said coquettishly.

Huo Yanchi glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then slowly looked away, looking straight ahead without saying a word.

After arriving at the high-end community where Liu Jingru lived, she asked Liu Jingru to go up first while she stayed to talk to Huo Yanchi.

"When is your flight tomorrow?"

"02:30 p.m."

"I'm here at three o'clock in the afternoon." Qin Man looked at him with a smile, "Then I will go to your company to have dinner with you tomorrow. I will bring your luggage with me. After dinner, can we go to the airport together?"

"Ah."

Qin Man stood on tiptoes and patted his head gently, "Then you can sleep well tonight."

Huo Yanchi stretched out his arms, pulled her whole body into his arms, kissed her lips, and said hoarsely, "We won't see each other for the next half month."

"Yes, I know." Qin Man could see a bit of grievance in his dark eyes.

It seems to be an accusation, 'You couldn't bear to leave me alone on the last night'.

Qin Man didn't look at him. Today was her mother's first birthday after her divorce. She didn't want her to be alone. She felt that as a daughter, she should accompany her.

Even if Liu Jingru finds another person in the future who can make her happy and let her be a little woman again, she will support him.

But she knew that that person would definitely not be her father Qin Jiang.She hugged him tightly, and her red lips gently brushed against his chin, "I will check the temperatures for you later in the places where you are going on a business trip, and I will go back and pack your luggage tomorrow morning."

"Well, let me know in advance when you go there tomorrow, and I'll ask Chengyang to go back and pick you up."

"No, don't we have a driver at home? I can just ask the driver to take me there!" Qin Man couldn't help laughing, "Do you know what your expression looks like?"

"Like a left-behind child, I feel like my parents are about to leave...well...you...Huo..."

All her subsequent words and laughter were absorbed by him.

Qin Man couldn't remember how long she stayed with him before going up. Anyway, when she looked in the mirror in the elevator, she found that her mouth was a little red and swollen. She wished she could transform into a mask out of thin air and wear it, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be seen by Liu Jingru later. .

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Jingru sitting on the sofa, her eyes falling on the black and blue gift box on the coffee table, her expression slightly cold and her brows furrowed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" She walked over and asked, "Who gave this to me?"

None of the gifts they gave her came in such a gift box.

"This is a gift from your dad."

Qin Man froze, not knowing why, "Why would he send..."

Liu Jingru was also upset, "Who knows, I just saw it on the shoe cabinet, and I called the nanny to find out. I'll call him and ask, and explain the matter clearly."

She didn't want to have anything to do with him at all.

Qin Man just sat there and watched quietly as Liu Jingru and Qin Jiang were on the phone. At the end of the conversation, Liu Jingru's voice gradually got louder and she questioned him about his inaction over the years.

"Ask yourself, are you a qualified husband and father? Oh, yes, you are quite qualified as a father. It's just for Qin Tingye and Qin Yao. Where do you have the face to tell me now that it's not easy for you? of?"

"It's not easy for you, but it's easy for Manman and me? Qin Jiang, the thing I regret most in my life is marrying such a foolish and filial wimp like you."

Later, Liu Jingru cursed a lot. Qin Man didn't know what Qin Jiang felt, but at least she was calm.

At the end of the scolding, Liu Jingru seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her voice dropped, "Qin Jiang, I don't deny that Manman is you and a flesh and blood of your Qin family, but we, mother and daughter, don't owe you anything. I owe you the Qin family, and I don’t need you to make up for anything.”

"I just don't want to have anything to do with you or the Qin family anymore."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Qin Jiang on the other end to say anything, and then quickly added the number to the blacklist.

A set of movements flowed smoothly, without any hint of sloppiness.

She took two deep breaths, turned around, and saw Qin Man standing there with a full smile and a glass of water, which shocked her.

"Manman..."

In fact, she didn't want Qin Man to see her and her father quarreling until they were red in the face and embarrassed. However, when she thought of those years of grievances, an endless chill would appear in her heart and spread to her limbs.

She couldn't help but want to roar, vent to him, and even scold him bloody.

"You must be thirsty after talking for so long. Drink some water."

Qin Man smiled and handed her the water.

Liu Jingru was stunned for a moment, took the water, took a sip, and said thoughtfully, "Manman, it's mom..."

"Mom, I'm very happy." She interrupted her and hugged her gently, "I have a strong woman mother who loves me the most and treats me the best in the world. I am happier than anyone else."

Liu Jingru's nose felt sore, her eyes felt hot, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Although she regretted marrying Qin Jiang, she never regretted giving birth to Qin Man.

Although the two are contradictory, her psychology itself is twisted.

"The same goes for Mom. As long as you are around, you are well, and you are happy, Mom is happier than anything else." Liu Jingru hugged her and said sincerely.

"I am the daughter of Ms. Liu Jingru first, and secondly Qin Jiang and the third young lady of the Qin family. Mom, you and the Qin family, you will always be my first choice."

"Ok, I know."

She was so lucky to have such a caring and warm-hearted little cotton-padded jacket.

Maybe in her next life, she would still choose to marry Qin Jiang, but the difference is that she would choose to leave Qin Jiang after giving birth to Qin Man.

But Qin Man was different. If she could live her life over again, she would rather not be born than have to suffer and waste decades in the abyss of seeing Liu Jingru remarry Qin Jiang and let her marry into the Qin family. youth.

----

The next morning, Qin Man was still sleeping, and Liu Jingru didn't disturb her. After breakfast, she asked the nanny to heat breakfast for her, and then went to the company.

Qin Man woke up at 09:30. After washing, the nanny had already prepared breakfast for her.

She ate two shrimp dumplings and drank a glass of soy milk.

After a few simple instructions, she returned to Yiliangju.

First I took a shower, changed into a set of clothes that looked good, and packed my suitcases, one black and one white.

Huo Yanchi's black suitcase was slightly larger. She had specially marked what kind of tie, cufflinks, watch, and brooch each suit should go with. After everything was done, she went to put on simple makeup.

It’s 11:30 to arrive at the Huo Group Building.

She sent Huo Yanchi a WeChat message on the way here.

Pushing her suitcase into the building, she was going to ask the front desk which floor Huo Yanchi's office was on. After all, it was her first time here and she forgot to ask Huo Yanchi.

As soon as he said "Excuse me", out of the corner of his eye, he saw Song Chengyang walking over.

She kept silent, turned sideways, smiled at him, and said, "Special Assistant Song."

"lady."

Song Chengyang stepped forward and nodded slightly towards her.

She was wearing a mask, and the front desk staff didn't recognize her. They were shocked by Song Chengyang's word "Mrs."

"Where's Huo Yanchi?"

"The president's meeting will end in about 10 minutes. Let me pick you up first." Song Chengyang took the two boxes in her hands and said, "Madam, please."

"Then Huo Yanchi is going on a business trip this time, are you going with him?"

"Ah."

"Thank you, Special Assistant Song." Qin Man said with a smile, "He has a bad stomach. Remember to let him eat on time and drink less."

"I understand, Madam, don't worry."

Song Chengyang took her to the CEO's office on the top floor and asked his secretary to pour coffee.

Qin Man was looking at nearby restaurants and felt that they were not much different and too boring, so she casually asked the secretary who brought in coffee, "Is your company's canteen delicious?"

The secretary was stunned when he asked, a little confused, "It's... delicious. Madam... you can try it later."

"Okay, then I'll try it with Huo Yanchi later." Qin Man asked, "Did he eat a lot in the cafeteria?"

Happy National Day, okay?
