Qiao Zhen was a little embarrassed.

Gong Jue walked over and picked up Eric. “Why? Am I so unattractive to you?”

​ 

“Not really…”

After spending so much time with him, Qiao Zhen’s impression of him had improved. “I just want to keep some distance with my brother-in-law.”

“Qiao Yu and I aren’t married, so I’m not really your brother-in-law.”

Gong Jue said plainly, “The most important thing is that I don’t like her.”

After saying that, he carried Eric and left.

Qiao Zhen was left with a puzzled look.

Why did he say all this?

…

As the day of the joint bid for the movie approached, Qiao Zhen was making the final adjustments at her work station.

Qiao Yu felt uneasy, and she couldn’t calm down to complete her design. Once she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with Qiao Zhen’s confident expression.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Qiao Yu deliberately took a detour to Qiao Zhen’s place to get some water, taking the opportunity to see Qiao Zhen’s work.

Seeing her work, Qiao Yu felt even more uneasy.

She did not expect that after not seeing Qiao Zhen for a few years, Qiao Zhen’s design level would become more mature and steady.

Thinking of her own work, Qiao Yu knew she had no chance of winning and returned home early.

“Xiao Yu, why are you back so early today?”

Wu Tong had just finished her afternoon tea and entered the house when she realized that Qiao Yu was already at home. Her expression did not look good and Wu Tong knew she had encountered a difficult situation. “What happened?”

“Mom, Qiao Zhen wants to compete with me for the company’s bid. I’m a little worried. I’m worried that this b*tch… She will get it.”

Qiao Yu frowned and covered her face with her hands. She did not know what to do.

She didn’t want to say it out loud. She didn’t want to admit that she was weaker than Qiao Zhen, but the worry on her face had betrayed her.

Wu Tong had seen Qiao Zhen last time and knew that it wasn’t easy to kill this woman now. If they wanted to defeat her, they had to destroy what she cared about.

Moreover, she hadn’t taken revenge for the embarrassment the last time..

Qiao Yinan, that little b*stard!

Wu Tong patted Qiao Yu’s shoulder.

“Xiao Yu, doesn’t she care about her precious daughter the most? If her child was kidnapped that day, do you think that as a mother, she would still participate in the bidding?”

Qiao Yu immediately understood, why didn’t she think of it. If she couldn’t do it openly, then she would do it secretly.

“Mom, you’re right. Let’s quickly arrange it!”

…

On the day of the tender, Qiao Zhen came and found that Nuonuo was sick.

The little one had a cold and was lying on the bed with a pale face. Qiao Zhen was a little worried and could only leave the two children at home.

Nuonuo looked at the closed door with a disappointed expression.

Eric took care of her by the side, holding warm water and a towel in his hand. He even told Qiao Yinan a joke to comfort her.

“Nuonuo, don’t be sad. Mommy… No, it’s Auntie Zhen Zhen. She didn’t bring you along for your own good. You’re sick, so hurry up and get better.”

Qiao Yinan nodded reluctantly when she saw Eric trying to make herself happy.

“Nuonuo, don’t worry. Auntie Zhen Zhen will definitely beat up that bad woman!”

Eric waved his small fists as he spoke, mimicking Qiao Yinan’s earlier actions of symbolizing beating someone up. His actions were comical and ridiculous.

Suddenly, there was the sound of someone breaking into the door.

Qiao Yinan immediately became alert and looked at the door. She made a shushing gesture to Eric.

It was quiet inside the house, and the sound outside the house became clearer.

The sound of tools colliding could be heard outside the door. No matter how low the sound was, the contents of the conversation could still be heard.

“Qiao Zhen lives here, right? Don’t catch the wrong person.”

“That’s right. I saw Qiao Zhen coming out of this house with my own eyes. Hurry up and catch that damn child!”

Catch a kid?

There’s a bad guy!

Eric was shocked. He grabbed Qiao Yinan’s arm and hid in Qiao Zhen’s room. He pushed open the window and frowned as he looked at the tall building. Finally, he pointed at the wardrobe.

“Nuonuo, hide here. I’m going out!”

Qiao Yinan shook her head and tried to break free from him.

“Nuonuo, listen to me. You’re sick and can’t beat a bad guy. Let me out. I have a special status. Those people won’t dare to do anything to me. When everyone is gone, call Aunt Zhen immediately!”

Eric said seriously.

Qiao Yinan pulled on Eric’s sleeve, and cracks appeared on her cold expression.

“You…”

“Don’t hesitate! I’m your brother, and I have to protect my sister.”

Eric grinned, still acting cocky.

Qiao Yinan looked at Eric and was moved. This was the only way. She reluctantly agreed, hid in the closet, and listened as Eric walked out.

Eric’s questioning came from the living room. “Who are you?”

“Let Go! Don’t touch me! Get Away! Ah! Uhh…”

After a while, the noise from outside disappeared. Qiao Yinan heard the sound of the door being closed and immediately went out to check.

The room was empty. The chairs and benches were all on the floor. Glasses and documents were scattered all over the floor. She quickly made a phone call.
