It's hard to be a mother after rebirth

Chapter 177

Yuan Tianyan opened the door, and the room was dark. The heavy curtains in the living room were drawn tightly, and the bright sunlight outside did not leak in at all.

He tugged at his tie and closed the door behind him.

"Jing Yao?" Yuan Tianyan yelled, but no one responded.

He sighed and went straight to the bedroom with the door closed.

The bedroom door was unlocked, and he pushed it open with a light push.

It was darker than the living room, and there was no light at all.

Yuan Tianyan pressed the switch on the side of the door, and the light on the top flickered and turned on.

In the small bedroom, he could easily spot Qiao Jingyao nestled beside the bed.

Facing the suddenly bright room, Qiao Jingyao just tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes to ease the discomfort of her eyes.

"Jing Yao, why are you sitting on the floor?" Yuan Tianyan walked over and gently held her hand, "Come on, let's go out, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Qiao Jingyao raised her head and looked at Yuan Tianyan in confusion: "Is my father okay?"

Yuan Tianyan said with an unchanged smile: "No news is good news, right?"

Qiao Jingyao nodded slowly and in a daze: "Yes, no news is good news. Dad must be fine."

With that said, she stood up following Yuan Tianyan's strength and walked out of the bedroom.

This kind of situation has been happening every day since they came here. It only took a few days for Yuan Tianyan to go from panicking at the beginning to calmly deal with it now.

This is the apartment that Liang Qiulin bought for his wife, Qiao Jingyao. The two of them had hung up the house with confidence, and in order not to let his wife find out, he couldn't bring Qiao Jingyao there either.

And this apartment became the best choice.

Although Qiao Jingyao was very reluctant at first, she still had to accept it when she had no choice.

However, Qiao Jingyao was very scared.

After coming here, as long as Yuan Tianyan leaves, she will hide in the bedroom and refuse to come out, and even refuse to eat properly.

Every day she wanted to know the news of her father, but also worried about hearing bad news.

In fact, Yuan Tianyan didn't inquire about Qiao's father. He didn't really want to inquire about Qiao's father who wanted to separate him and Jingyao from the beginning to the end. Instead, he hoped that he could lock Qiao Jingyao forever. by your side.

Going to work is very tiring, but when he comes back and sees Qiao Jingyao, he will feel very satisfied.

"Jing Yao, would you like to make sweet and sour pork?" Yuan Tianyan was preparing ingredients in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.

Qiao Jingyao sat blankly on the sofa in the living room without answering.

Yuan Tianyan didn't wait for a reply, so he came out to have a look.

"Tianyan, I want to go back and see my dad." Qiao Jingyao stood up suddenly.

Yuan Tianyan hurriedly walked over to stop Qiao Jingyao: "What's the matter, didn't you agree to wait for the news before going out? You forgot what uncle said."

"I can't wait!" Qiao Jingyao said anxiously, "It's been six days, and I haven't heard from Dad for six days. I'm really worried."

Yuan Tianyan knew he couldn't stop her, but just in case, he couldn't let her go out, so he said: "Jing Yao, listen to me, so I'll go out, I'll go to Qiao's house to see the situation, but you have to stay at home on."

With a compromise, Qiao Jingyao nodded hesitantly: "Then I'll wait for you at home, and call me as soon as you have news."

Yuan Tianyan responded, went into the kitchen and turned off the fire, and said worriedly: "Jing Yao, you must not go out, wait for my call, and wait for me to come back. There is still some food in the cabinet. If you are hungry, eat some biscuits first, and wait for me to come back." I'll come back and cook for you."

Qiao Jingyao was not in the mood to eat, but she agreed anyway.

Yuan Tianyan went out, but did not go directly to Qiao's house.

He really didn't want to know what happened to Qiao Zhibai now, since he knew that Jing Yao was not their child, then they had no right to interfere in her life anymore.

Although what Qiao Zhizhong said may not necessarily be believed, at least they did not look for Jing Yao.

He wanted to just live a simple life with Jing Yao, and not care about anything else.

Yuan Tianyan never thought that from the day he left his home, there were still people waiting for him at home.

Now that he came out, he drove around the neighborhood slowly, and then called Qiao Zhizhong.

When the phone was connected, Qiao Zhizhong's voice was a little impatient.

"Hello, I'm Yuan Tianyan." He said.

Qiao Zhizhong sneered: "Tell me, what's the matter."

"I want to ask about Jing Yao's father." Yuan Tianyan didn't need to go to Qiao's house to know about Qiao Zhibai's recent situation.

"Her father? Her father doesn't know who it is." Qiao Zhizhong's answer was mixed.

Yuan Tianyan didn't take the mocking words seriously, and continued: "It's been a few days, Jing Yao has been asking, I don't want to always find excuses to evade. Please tell me, how is Qiao Zhibai now."

"What's the matter..." Qiao Zhizhong fell into deep thought, and the phone fell silent.

After that night, Qiao Zhizhong sent his unrelated eldest brother back to Qiao's house, and the two of them went to the lawyer's place during work hours the next day.

As Qiao Zhibai's largest shareholder, he does have the right to hand over everything he owns, but as for the operation of the company, it is up to the board of directors to make decisions at a meeting.

He transferred all his shares to Qiao Zhizhong, and spent another three days mobilizing with other shareholders of the board of directors to get them to accept Qiao Zhizhong's leadership.

After that, Qiao Zhizhong never saw Qiao Zhibai again, and it is said that he did not return to Qiao's house either.

"Mr. Qiao?" Yuan Tianyan waited for a long time without getting an answer, and reminded Qiao Zhizhong softly.

"You tell Qiao Jingyao that her father is dead. Even if she is still alive, it is no different from death." Qiao Zhizhong hung up the phone mercilessly.

"Qiao..." Yuan Tianyan was about to ask a few more questions when he heard a disconnected voice.

This answer did not satisfy Yuan Tianyan, and of course it did not satisfy Qiao Jingyao. Whether it was Qiao Zhibai's death or uncertainty, it would make Qiao Jingyao nervous.

Yuan Tianyan had no choice but to drive to Qiao's house.

Fortunately, the place where they live is not far from there.

However, as soon as the car turned a corner, it encountered a large number of reporters.

Yuan Tianyan didn't dare to drive the car over again, and quietly parked the car at a distance.

How could there be so many reporters guarding here?

Yuan Tianyan didn't understand, so he thought for a moment and got out of the car.

"Why are you still guarding here?" He pretended to be a reporter from another weekly magazine, and familiarized himself with a smoking reporter standing outside.

"Hey, I can't wait for anyone, and the editor-in-chief doesn't give up. I've been here for almost 20 hours, but I haven't seen Qiao Zhibai." Eye circles, "Brother, are you here to take over?"

Yuan Tianyan smiled, and casually made up an excuse: "Oh, I'm not, my girlfriend is, don't let me care about her, why don't you just look at it from a distance, and leave later to avoid being discovered."

The man smiled, snuffed out his own, patted his shoulder, and said nothing.

Yuan Tianyan handed over another cigarette and said, "Our company also has business dealings with Qiao's. I heard that Qiao's management has changed a lot recently, and the stock market has fluctuated accordingly. Our company is also worried about whether it will affect the business."

"The chairman of the Qiao family has changed, so how can the stock market not fluctuate!" The man continued to smoke, and explained to Yuan Tianyan: "Your news is definitely not as good as ours. We received news that Qiao Zhibai did not belong to the Qiao family at all. Son, back then, Second Young Master Qiao was imprisoned because of the Eldest Young Master Qiao whom everyone praised. Now that Second Young Master is back, he wants to get back everything that belongs to him. Just disappeared, didn’t even return home, and caused us people to stay here all day.”

Yuan Tianyan was shocked, this was exactly what Qiao Zhizhong said, but why didn't Father Qiao come back.

Was it really murdered?

"You guys are working hard too." Yuan Tianyan casually comforted, pretending that someone called, "Oh, my girlfriend sent a text message, I'm leaving first."

Yuan Tianyan quickly returned to his car and drove away from the land of right and wrong.

How can such an answer tell Jing Yao that Father Qiao is not such an irresponsible person when he is missing, and it is impossible for him to disappear without a word of explanation.

If so, I'm afraid Jing Yao can't help but run out.

Yuan Tianyan didn't understand why Qiao's father would explain so much at the beginning, not to let Jing Yao come out to contact other people, whether he was afraid or worried about something.

As time passed, Yuan Tianyan didn't dare to delay, so he drove back quickly.

On the way, he was still worried about how to explain to Jing Yao when he went back, but when he took the key to open the door, such worries became superfluous.

Qiao Jingyao was not at home.

Jing Yao!

Yuan Tianyan immediately dialed Qiao Jingyao's number. When the ring rang, he saw the mobile phone on the coffee table in the living room.

This is not Jing Yao's style, as long as she allows, she will not go out without her mobile phone.

Yuan Tianyan panicked, he turned around with the key and left the room again.

At this time, Qiao Jingyao didn't go far away, she was in the small leisure square in their community.

This place is usually a place for the elders and aunts to do their morning exercises. There is a shaded corridor. It is just beginning of spring here, and the branches and leaves of the vines are still green and entangled, which cannot block the warm and soft sunlight.

Qiao Jingyao was sitting on the stone bench in the corridor, she was not alone.

Zhou Ming is also there.

After following her husband for a long time, Zhou Ming already knows this place very well.

Qiao Jingyao regretted coming out with Zhou Ming, she felt that she should wait for Tianyan to come back.

Zhou Ming saw that Qiao Jingyao was looking at her with timid eyes, so she said, "You don't have to be afraid of me."

Qiao Jingyao wasn't afraid, but as a third party who ruined someone else's family, her embarrassment and helplessness were real.

"Yes, I'm sorry." After thinking for a long time, Qiao Jingyao only said these three words.

Zhou Ming sneered a little: "What's the use of saying this? You step in between me and Tianyan, and no matter how much you say I'm sorry, it won't help."

Qiao Jingyao bit her lip and lowered her head.

Zhou Ming ignored her and continued: "This time I didn't come here to argue with you who loves Tianyan more, I just want to take you to a place, if you still decide to do this at that time, I will help you. "

Qiao Jingyao raised her head in surprise.
