The shareholders’ meeting officially ended. Everyone stood up. After the new President pushed the old chairman out, they followed him out one after another. Only Shao Jingmo sat quietly in his seat and had no intention of getting up to leave.
“Boss!” Dou Ying stepped forward and took the wheelchair pusher from Qiao Qiao. “Let me push the old chairman.”
Qiao Qiao moved half a step to the side, leaving her seat for Dou Ying. “This nickname is not bad.’
Dou Ying looked at Qiao Qiao and smiled implicitly.
Qiao Qiao said, “Go on ahead.”
Dou Ying nodded. Just as she was about to push the wheelchair, Old Master Qiao turned around and called out, “Guigui.”
Qiao Qiao took two steps forward and squatted in front of Old Master Qiao. “What’s wrong, Grandpa?”
Old Master Qiao pointed behind him. He didn’t say anything, but Qiao Qiao understood what he meant at a glance. She shook her head and said lightly,
“I’m not going.”
Old Master Qiao’s face was filled with love. “Instead of regretting it downstairs and rushing over later, why don’t you meet him now? Grandpa will wait for you downstairs.”
Qiao Qiao felt a fishbone in her throat. “Grandpa…”
After watching Dou Ying push Old Master Qiao away, Qiao Qiao stood there quietly for a while before turning back to the meeting room.
Jingcheng and an assistant stood at the door. Clearly, Shao Jingmo was still inside, Jingcheng didn’t stop Qiao Qiao. When Qiao Qiao turned back, he specially opened the door for her. As usual, he gestured at Qiao Qiao. “Miss, please come in.”
Qiao Qiao glanced at Jingcheng. “I’m sorry.”
Jingchengs face was tense and expressionless. “You shouldn’t have said these words to me, Miss.!
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and smiled. Without saying anything else, she walked into the conference room.
The windows in the huge conference room were bright and clean. Just a few minutes ago, it was filled with the senior members of the entire company. It was a scene that no small employee would dare to breathe hard when they came in.
Now, only Shao Jingmo was left sitting quietly in his original position. Qiao
Qiao approached him from behind and called out in a gentle voice, “Little Uncle.’
Shao Jingmo raised his hand and buttoned the front of his abdomen. Just as he was about to stand up, Qiao Qiao immediately placed her hand on his broad shoulder. “I’ll just say a few words.”
Shao Jingmo did not move.
Qiao Qiao walked around and sat down opposite him. She looked up at him quietly for a moment and said, “Thank you, Little Uncle, for putting in so much effort to pave the way for me. In just a few months, you made me the new President of Deep Blue Corporation.”
Shao Jingmo’s expression was indifferent. “Sitting in this position and sitting firmly in this position are two different concepts. I hope you will always remember it.’
“l will.” Qiao Qiao said seriously, “l will remember everything you taught me.
You can rest assured, Little Uncle.’
Shao Jingmo picked up the cell phone on the table.
Qiao Qiao stopped him again. “Little Uncle, can you sit for a few more minutes?”
Shao Jingmo rubbed the edge of his cell phone. “Isn’t it just a few words?”
A hint of loneliness flashed across Qiao Qiao’s eyes, so fast that it was difficult to notice. She said unhurriedly, “We’re once husband and wife after all. After today, I don’t know when we’ll meet again.”
Shao Jingmo’s tone was very calm. “In the future, you and I will each face a new life. Whether we meet again is not that important.”
Qiao Qiao looked into his eyes. Those dark and deep eyes were unfathomable. No one could ever guess what he was thinking. She sat up slowly, her belly close to the edge of the conference table. “Actually, I know…”
Shao Jingmo suddenly interrupted her. “l should go.” With that, he stood up and raised his hand to button the front of his abdomen. He moved his seat and turned to leave.
He was so determined. It was as if he had never loved her. In this relationship, it had always been her wishful thinking. This was probably the outcome he wanted to see the most.
However, Qiao Qiao didn’t do as he wished. Just as Shao Jingmo turned to leave, she suddenly stood up and said, “Shao Jingmo, it’s fine if you don’t love me. It’s fine if you want to marry someone else, but it’s impossible for you to draw a line with me.’
Shao Jingmo did not stop.
Qiao Qiao stared at his cold back as he left and said firmly, “I’m pregnant.”
Those short words were like a thousand pounds crashing to the ground. With a bang, the mountain shook. Shao Jingmo suddenly stopped and turned around. He asked her coldly, “What did you say?”
Qiao Qiao’s pretty face didn’t change. She boldly looked straight at him. “I’m pregnant.. Do you think we can still completely draw the line between us?”
