After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Before Qiao Xing finished speaking, he had already stood up.

Qin Ce quickly grabbed her and said, "If you want to go, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Qiao Xing was so worried that she was confused. After she calmed down, she sat beside the bed. Qin Ce comforted her, "It's really okay, don't worry."

Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce would not lie to him, but after listening to the whole process, she still felt uneasy.

She was inexplicably annoyed. "Did you think we came to the wrong place in Beijing?"

"Why do you say that?"

During this period of time, Qiao Xing had heard some of the rumors outside.

Qin Ce said before that Qin Ji caused trouble in Qin's company, which made Qin's shareholders dissatisfied with him.

Just at this critical juncture, Qin Ce returned to the capital.

Moreover, his current relationship with Qin Liang is neither good nor bad, which makes it difficult for outsiders to avoid speculation.

Although Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce might not take over the Qin family, the rumors were spreading and it would be a different story if they reached the Qin family members.

Qiao Xing was worried that if Qin Ji and Wang Yu really suspected that Qin Liang would hand Qin Shi over to Qin Ce, then they would become a thorn in the Qin family's side if they lived there.

"I can't explain it, but I always feel that it's strange for us to live here, and I'm worried that grandpa will be affected."

Qin Ce asked, "What's the impact?"

Qiao Xing expressed her concerns, "Having Qin Fei is already troublesome enough. If Qin Ji thinks that you want to join the Qin family, then he won't have any chance. Then the Qin family will definitely be in turmoil again. I'm worried that Grandpa will be implicated by these things and his health will be even worse."

Qin Ce nodded, "What you said makes sense, but since they want to make trouble, let them make trouble."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Ce chuckled, "In their eyes, even if I don't join the Qin family, I'm still a thorn in their eyes. My stepmother has gone to great lengths to sow discord between me and Qin Liang. Why do you think she did that?"

"Since you know all this, why do you want to return to the capital and live in the Qin family? Isn't this just asking for trouble?" Qiao Xing was puzzled.

Qin Ce glanced at her and said nothing.

Qiao Xing seemed to understand something from his eyes. She asked in surprise, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Qin Ce smiled, "Not too stupid."

Qiao Xing seemed to understand all of a sudden.

Why did Qin Ce let Grandpa Qin come to Beijing for treatment, why did he bring her along, and why didn't he refuse when she said she chose to live in the Qin family.

It turns out that all of this is done with a purpose.

However, Qiao Xing thought about it again and felt something was wrong. "No, aren't you always not interested in the Qin family's affairs and people? Why are you going to all the trouble to do all these things this time?"

Qin Ce said, "I'm really not interested, but some people can't hide their tails anymore, so I'll help her."

Qin Ce's words were full of meaning, so Qiao Xing asked him, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Qin Ce did not hide anything from Qiao Xing. He briefly told her about what happened in Yucheng.

After hearing this, Qiao Xing couldn't help but be surprised, "Really?"

"Whether it's true or not depends on whether she will admit it herself."

Qiao Xing had an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder, I was wondering why I always felt like someone was following us those days, I thought I was overthinking it at the time."

Qin Ce said, "My purpose of coming to the capital is not entirely for this matter, but since they can't sit still anymore, I will go with the flow and help them indirectly."

Instead of going to great lengths to do those things in Yucheng, it would be better to do it directly under her nose.

In fact, just as Qiao Xing said, Qin Ce looked down on everything about the Qin family.

He also disdains to compete with Wang Yu for anything. But the premise of all this is that she did not set her mind on Grandpa Qin.

No matter what, Grandpa Qin is the bottom line, and he will never allow them to do anything to Grandpa Qin for their own purposes.

Qiao Xing understood what Qin Ce meant, but she couldn't help but worry, "Have you thought it through? If this matter really gets out of hand, it may directly lead to a complete deterioration of your relationship with the Qin family. Your father may not believe you."

Qin Ce's purpose was just to force Wang Yu to reveal his purpose.

But if Wang Yu really did something to get Qin Ji into the company, Qin Liang would definitely know about it.

Qin Liang and Wang Yu have been married for decades and have a son and a daughter. Even though they don't have a deep relationship, Wang Yu is, after all, the one who has accompanied Qin Liang step by step.

On the other hand, given Qin Ce's relationship with Qin Liang, if it really came to that, Qiao Xing felt that Qin Liang might be more willing to believe Wang Yu.

Qin Ce said disdainfully, "If he doesn't believe it, that's his business. I never need his belief."

All he wanted was to watch Wang Yu dig her own grave and pay the price for what she had done.

As for whether Qin Liang believed it or not, Qin Ce didn't care at all.

He can believe it or not.

This time, Wang Yu has stepped on Qin Ce's bottom line.

Although his relationship with Qin Liang had not been good over the years, he had never thought of kicking Wang Yu out of the Qin family during the years she had been there.

Although he looked down on Wang Yu's hypocritical behavior, he was only targeting Qin Liang from beginning to end.

Because Qin Liang was the only one who started all this.

Qiao Xing didn't say anything more, just asked her, "Then what do you want to do?"

Qin Ce said, "There is no need to do anything. Let's see what they want to do first."

After he finished speaking, he paused and suddenly looked at Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing subconsciously looked down at himself, with a look of suspicion on his face, "Why are you looking at me?"

Qin Ce said, "I may have to wrong you in the next period of time."

Qiao Xing was even more puzzled, "Why should I feel wronged?"

Qin Ce deliberately asked her, "If you see other women getting close to me, won't you feel wronged?"

Qiao Xing was very sensible. "That depends on the situation. I've been married to you for such a long time, and it's not like I haven't seen people throw themselves at you."

"Then under what circumstances would you feel wronged?"

Qiao Xing glared at him, "Are you sick? Why are you asking me this kind of question?"

"Just curious."

Counting the time, the two have been married for almost two years.

Although the two had a flash marriage and had no emotional foundation.

But now, the two have become the most important people to each other, not to mention that they now have a child, the relationship between them has become strong and indestructible.

Qin Ce believed that Qiao Xing loved him, but when he counted the past days, the times she was jealous of him seemed to be very few.

Qin Ce knew that this might be because Qiao Xing had always been a more rational person in terms of feelings.

She is not like other girls who act like a spoiled brat and make unreasonable demands.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Ce is curious about what Qiao Xing is like when he makes a fuss. (End of this chapter)
