Chapter Fifty-Seven: What You Think Won't Happen

f. 。He shouldn't have such thoughts. The person he loves has always been Ye Wen, so how could he choose Qin Jingwen 。“Standing in my position, I would choose Qin Jingwen” 。" Song Xinzhe gave the an...Qiao Shunchen's faint smile made Ban Yue infatuated, if his uncle could keep smiling like this, it would be great.

"Uncle, you're so handsome when you smile, I like it so much."

Ban Yue continued speaking, just then the doorbell rang. Qin Jingwen quickly got up and walked towards the door, Qiao Zixuan following closely behind.

Qin Jingwen watched the video at the door. The screen showed an elderly man, but she didn't recognize him.

"Whom are you looking for"

Qin Jingwen politely asked.

"It's Grandpa, Aunt, please open the door."

No one outside answered, but Qiao Zixuan gave the answer.

But this answer surprised Qin Jingwen.

Grandfather Qiao Zixuan's grandfather is the chairman of Qiaoshi, Qiao Shunchen's grandfather. What is he here for again

Qin Jingwen opened the door in confusion, only to see Liu, the butler, standing beside her.

"Hello!"

Qin Jingwen nodded in greeting.

"Grandpa!"

Joe Hsu greeted happily.

Joe Xiang lightly caressed Qiao Zi Xuan's head without any expression. Then, he calmly walked in.

"Grandpa, how did you get here"

Joe Shun-chen, sitting on the sofa, rarely showed a look of surprise.

"Are you hurt Shouldn't I come and see"

Joe Chang spoke in a cold and distant voice.

"Please sit down, Chairman."

Qin Jingwen pulled the half-moon from its place and gestured for Qiao Dexiang to sit down.

"Good day, grandpa."

Bàn Yuè bowed deeply to Qiao Dexiang.

However, this sentence "Too Grandpa" unexpectedly touched Qiao Dexiang's heart.

His eyes fell on the little girl, and his face was filled with a sweet smile that made people love him at first sight.

Hello, children. What are your names

Joe Shun-Chen's voice gradually softened.

"My name is Qin Si."

Ban Yue answered happily.

"Qin Si Missing whom"

Joe asked deeply.

"This…"

Half-moon noodles looked troubled. This mommy hadn't told her, she didn't know who she missed.

However, this little problem didn't last for half a month. After half a month, she suddenly had an idea and smiled again.

"Missing Uncle and XuanXuan brother."

Joe Xiang was surprised by the half-month's words, Joe Shunchen felt warm, but Qin Jing broke out in a cold sweat.

“……”

She wanted to call Ban Yue, but at this time, Ban Yue continued speaking.

"Grandpa, they call me Half Moon at home. Since you're my family now, please call me Half Moon too."

"Half a month What does that even mean"

Joe Xiang came to his senses in the midst of the unexpected. This little girl, despite her young age, possessed a charm that was hard to resist.

"Look."

Ban Yue said, raising her right hand to reveal a crescent-shaped birthmark on her forearm. Then she continued speaking.

"Grandpa, look at this birthmark. Doesn't it look like a half moon Because of this birthmark, I'm called Half Moon."

Ban Yue's laughter was unrestrained, but Qin Jingwen beside her felt like her soul was almost scattered by her.

The birthmark on his right forearm resembled a half moon, hence the name "Half Moon." The one on his left forearm looked like a lucky charm, hence the name "Lucky Charm." Joe Xiang thought of this and tightened his gaze on Qin Jingwen.

Coincidence Are there really such coincidences

Qin Jingwen showed panic and quickly spoke up.

“Half a month, come over to Mommy’s side. Grandpa is here to see Uncle, you can't always hog him.”

Qin Jingwen spoke as she walked to Ban Yue's side, taking her hand and retreating a few steps backward.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. I can go back to work in two days."

Joe Shunchen finally changed the subject.

"Since you're taking a break, you should go home and rest. What are you doing here"

Joe Xiang’s voice was once again cold, his clear eyes carrying a hint of blame.

Qin Jingwen, upon hearing this, immediately understood Qiao Dexiang's purpose and quickly spoke up.

"Half-Moon Pavilion, Auntie will take you upstairs to play."

Qin Jingwen held the hand of one who was about to leave, but unexpectedly, she was stopped by Qiao Dexiang.

"You stay, Xuxu takes Half-Moon upstairs."

Joe's voice was authoritative, and Xuanxuan began to comply. Qin Jingwen was also forced to turn around.

After the two children left, Joe again motioned for Qin Jingwen to sit down.

Except for what Ban Yue just said, which made Qin Jingwen apprehensive, she could face anything with composure. Therefore, Qin Jingwen was now sitting opposite Qiao Dexiang calmly and collectedly.

"Grandpa…"

Joe Shunchen had already guessed what Joe Dexiang wanted to say, and opened his mouth wanting to take his grandfather to the room to talk. However, a gesture from Joe Dexiang made Joe Shunchen's words go back down his throat.

"Qin Jingwen, a software engineer at Qiao Corporation, an employee of Qiao Shunchen. But why would your boss live in your house"

Joe Xiang said coldly, his shrewd eyes making Qin Jingwen ponder.

It seems he's not here to see Qiao Shunchen, his target is Qin Jingwen. He's here to confront her. But that's alright, if he can solve the problem of Qiao Shunchen's persistent pursuit, she'll have to thank this old man.

Qin Jingwen glanced at Qiao Shunchen, but didn't receive any signal from him to help. She could only open her mouth and respond on her own.

“He got hurt because of me, so I should take care of him.”

Qin Jing spoke in a gentle, soft voice. Actually, saying this was like taking all the responsibility onto herself. The chairman would definitely think she was keeping Qiao Shunchen against his will. This way, even more people would see her as the bad guy.

Let the bad guys be bad guys, it doesn't matter if there's one more.

He got hurt for you, Song Eon should be taking care of him, not you. If you feel indebted, you can work hard to repay...

Joe Xiang's face grew increasingly dark, his tone turning cold and sharp. However, to his surprise, Joe Shunchen interrupted him.

"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with her. You know me best. I wouldn't do something I don't want to do, and no one can control me. I choose to stay here."

Seeing that his grandfather showed no signs of giving up, Qiao Shunchen quickly spoke. If Qin Jingwen was targeted by his grandfather, her life would definitely be difficult.

"Why are you staying here"

Joe Xiang looked solemnly at Joe Shunchen.

“It's convenient to work here, and there are many things I want to research with her.”

Joe Shunchen could only say that. He wasn't unwilling to take responsibility. If he revealed the real reason, Qin Jingwen would most likely leave this city.

Seeing that his grandfather showed no reaction, Qiao Shunchen continued.

"Xuan Xuan is here too, it's convenient for me to take care of him."

"You've never taken care of Xuan Xuan before. If you really want what's best for him, then do it."

Joe Xiang stopped there, then opened his mouth again, his voice turning icy cold.

"Liu, the housekeeper, immediately took the young master away. I will take care of my Qiao family's children myself."

"Yes."

Liu the Butler received the order and immediately strode upstairs.

At this time, Qin Jingwen panicked and didn't care too much. She directly stood in front of Liu Guanshi.

"No, the child can't go back."

Qin Jing spoke warmly and with determination, saying that no one could take Qiao Zixuan away, she would fight to the death to protect Xuxu.

"Chairman, I know what you're worried about, and I assure you that the things you're worried about will definitely not happen."

Qin Jingwen is a smart person, that much is obvious.

"Guarantee Guarantee what, be specific."

Joe spoke with strict formality, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

"Grandpa, this is my own business and I can handle it myself. I also assure you that the things you're worried about won't happen. She's just a woman with no status or standing, and she has a child. She can't possibly affect me."

Joe Shunchen spoke up immediately. He didn't want to hear any assurances from Qin Jingwen. However, his words made Qin Jingwen's heart feel unusually bitter.

Qin Jingwen knew how unworthy she was, and that she didn't deserve Qiao Shunchen. What Qiao Shunchen said was the truth, but why did he have to point out her pain in front of others

Qin Jingwen looked at Qiao Shunchen with disappointment, and when she moved her gaze away, her eyes were already cold.

“Chairman, I assure you, I won't covet even a penny of his money, I won't yearn for Mrs. Joe's position, I won't have any relationship with him that goes beyond colleagues, I won't tempt him, and even less...even less will I fall in love with him.”

Qin Jingwen saw Qiao Dexiang's dissatisfied face and had to make concrete promises. But when she finally finished speaking, she found that her heart was not sour but painful.

“......”

Qiao Shunchen did not open his mouth to stop Qin Jingwen. When he saw her firm and determined eyes, he knew that even if he spoke, he couldn't stop her.

But that she wouldn't fall for him caused his brows to furrow in displeasure.

"Qin Jingwen is doing well, and she's very self-aware. These are all your words; if you can't deliver on them, you'll have to take the consequences yourself."

Joe Xiang's tone softened, and he looked at Qin Jingwen with satisfaction. After a moment's pause, he continued.

You promised me that I could keep Xu Xuan, but Shunchen must come with me.

The old man's voice was low but sharp.

Qin Jingwen once again looked at Qiao Shunchen. She watched his brows still furrowed, his face still gloomy, and her heart ached seeing his injured ankle.

She shouldn't feel this way; it's what she desperately wants him to leave. If he leaves, her life will return to normal. She must be crazy for even having these thoughts.

Jo Shunchun remained silent, and did not look at Qin Jingwen.

He rose after a moment and walked with difficulty towards the door.

Jo Shunchen left just like that, leaving with such decisiveness, not even a glance back at Qin Jingwen.

Qin Jingwen's world fell silent, silent too quickly and suddenly, leaving her feeling empty.

Joe Shunchen didn't go home, but went to Joe Dexiang's old house.

On the way back to my old house.

What did Song Yiren say to you

Joe Shunchen spoke silently, without needing to think, he knew it was Song Yien.

"Doesn't it stand to reason that if it wasn't her, I wouldn't know It's the talk of the office. I'm not deaf or blind, everyone else knows, so how could I not"

Joe Shang’s voice was laced with anger and blame.

"

Jo Shuncheng was speechless, not knowing how to defend himself. After all, he and Qin Jingwen had indeed been involved, and the rumors that spread were not unexpected.

"What you did was unwise. Although the Song family is not as brilliant as before, it still holds great value. Because of a woman, you've made enemies with the Song family. This isn't just a matter between men and women; it involves Qiao's interests."

Joe Chang spoke in a low voice.

Song Yiren already knew about this before she found him, but she thought Qiao Shunchen could handle it himself.

But Joe Shun-chen disappointed him, he had to step in.

"I won't let this affect the Qiao family, and I certainly won't let the Song family lead me around by the nose. Grandfather, when the families were allied through marriage, you promised not to interfere with my personal affairs."

Qiao Shunchen didn't think the same way his grandfather did.

He will control this situation well, even if it affects the Joe family, he will handle things properly.t. Qin Jingwen was so frightened that she trembled. 。At this moment, Qiao Shunchen pulled her hand from behind, instilling courage in her subtly. 。The policeman put on his gloves, signaled Qin Jingwe...
