Qiao Lian completely ignored her and did not even bother to talk to her. She walked straight towards the office building.
Su Meimei followed behind her and sneered, “No wonder you rejected my offer when I wanted to introduce you to a few rich friends. It’s because you had already secretly found a financial backer! But don’t be too complacent, there are so many beautiful women surrounding someone like Best Actor Shen. Sooner. Sooner or later, he will get sick of you!”
Qiao Lian remained silent. When the elevator came, she entered the it.
Su Meimei entered the elevator as well. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Lian suddenly said sarcastically, “Su Meimei, there’s something I have always been curious about.”
“What?”
“Managing Editor Liu is already in his thirties, why is he not married yet? Does he have a disease that can’t be disclosed to anyone? Or does he hate marriage?”
“You…!”
“The worst is that what if he’s already married?”
Su Meimei was instantly trembling with anger. “Qiao Lian, you just don’t want to see me better off than you, do you? Liu Zhixing bought me a ring long ago, we are going to get married soon!”
Having successfully changed the subject, Qiao Lian rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, I will surely give you a thick red packet then.”
The elevator reached their floor just at the right moment. Qiao Lian walked out and parted ways with Su Meimei.
She arrived at the office, however, she simply sat aimlessly at her desk.
She had to steal the contract and then divorce him by the end of this week.
This way, he would not have to do that surgery anymore.
As she thought of this, she took a deep breath and picked up her cell phone to call Doctor Zhang. “Doctor Zhang, can my brother go overseas today?”
The other party was slightly taken aback. “Is it this urgent?”
“Yes, it is very urgent. Please help me out, Doctor Zhang. I have encountered some problems.”
“Hmm, I will look into it right now and give you an answer in a while.”
Qiao Lian waited for more than an hour while holding her phone in her hands before Doctor Zhang finally called her back. “It’s perfect, there are plane tickets available today and my teacher is free, so I can go with him. The flight is at 3 p.m.”
Qiao Lian said decisively, “Okay, I will see him off at the airport in the afternoon.”
After ending the call, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Qiao Lian worked at the news agency with Shi Nianyao until 1.30 p.m. before using going out to search for news as an excuse to sneak out.
–
At the airport.
Qiao Yi was sitting on a wheelchair pushed by Doctor Zhang.
Qiao Lian was full of gratitude towards Doctor Zhang and said, “Doctor Zhang, thank you very much.”
Doctor Zhang shook his head. “No problem. I will just see this as you treating me to an overseas trip. I can visit my teacher too.”
Qiao Lian nodded and looked at Qiao Yi.
As she bent down and stared at his attractive face, she was momentarily speechless.
His gaze was warm, but there was still a tinge of reluctance to leave and fear for the future.
Qiao Lian’s heart ached.
After her brother had lost both his legs eight years ago, he had not met people often.
She was very unwilling to let him go overseas alone too.
However, she was scared that Shen Liangchuan would vent his anger on him. If he decided to confiscate all the funds used for his treatment, what was she going to do?
All her emotions, reluctance to let him go, anxiety, worry, were translated into this sentence. “Xiao Yi, you have to take care of yourself.”
Qiao Yi had always been a well-behaved child. As his eyes watered, he nodded and reached out his hand to grab Qiao Lian. “Sis, you have to protect yourself. Don’t let that person find you.”
“Sis, wait for me. I will be back.”
