old love revisited

Chapter 89
City Y.

In the quiet office, Ji Lingtian sat behind his desk, his brows slightly raised, thoughtful.

His competent subordinate Xiao Jian came in from the outside, bowed and called softly, "Mr. Ji."

Ji Lingtian raised his eyes from deep thought, and glanced at his subordinate, "How is it?"

Xiao Jian replied, "I can't find anything."

Ji Lingtian narrowed his eyes and squinted at his subordinates, "Can't find anything?"

Xiao Jian nodded, "Qosie's call records have obviously been processed, and there is no way to find out who she has contacted on her mobile phone."

Ji Lingtian's deep eyes became gloomy, as if he was lost in thought again.

"Mr. Ji, in your opinion, what is the relationship between Mr. Guan and Qiao Si?"

Ji Lingtian shook his head.

Even he can't figure it out...

What is Guan Hao thinking?
He and Qu Ranran are already together, so why are they confused with Qiao Si?
嗞... 嗞...

The phone vibrated.

Ji Lingtian came back to his senses, picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.

After catching a glimpse of the number displayed on the screen, Ji Lingtian waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.

: Xiao Jian quietly retreated.

After his subordinate left, Ji Lingtian pressed the answer button.

He didn't speak, but waited for the other party to speak.

At this second, the other party's voice that was deliberately processed into a robot began to come from the phone, "Ling Tian."

Ji Lingtian didn't speak.

"You also know that I have given you a long time, and my patience is running out... Tell me, how long will it take?"

Ji Lingtian replied coldly, "You should know better than me how difficult Guan Hao is to deal with."

The robot voice came, "I believe in your mind, you should be clear about any weakness that grabs Guan Hao, but you have spent so much time but I have not seen results, which makes me wonder if you have already Start to miss the brotherhood between you and Guan Hao?"

"From the day my mother chose Guan Hao and rejected me, I have no family relationship with them."

"Since this is the case, don't make me wait any longer... You know, I have no patience. If you continue to stop and perfuse me like this, I'm afraid I will do something I don't want to do. Then, your next I'm afraid I will spend half my life in prison."

"I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Ling Tian, ​​it's actually very simple to deal with Guan Hao. You just need to grasp his weakness. I told you before that he is invincible in his career. His only weakness is women."

"I have been following what you said, trying to destroy the relationship between Guan Hao and Qu Ranran, and also trying to get close to Qu Ranran. Although there is no obvious effect, at least Qu Ranran has a good impression of me."

"For more than a year, all you have done is to make Qu Ranran have a good impression of you, but you still think it is quite effective? Ling Tian, ​​when Qu Ranran was with you, you had so many opportunities You can blackmail Guan Hao with her, why don't you do that?"

Ji Lingtian replied slowly, "That's because I wasn't sure at that time whether Guan Hao cared about Qu Ranran, and I didn't want to hurt innocent people."

"Do you not want to hurt the innocent, or do you not want to hurt Qu Ranran?" The robot's voice was low and angry, "I don't want you to talk about love."

"I'm not talking about love. To Qu Ranran, I've always regarded her as Guan Hao's weakness."

The voice of the machine obviously questioned, "You only take Qu Ranran as Guan Hao's weakness, I can't see it all, right? The first time you saw Qu Ranran, you clearly had a knife mark on Qu Ranran's chest, In the end, you didn’t make a move, which means that you couldn’t bear it when you saw Qu Ranran for the first time.”

Ji Lingtian fell silent.

"Ling Tian, ​​you used to hold onto Guan Hao's weakness, but you didn't make good use of it. Because of your personal feelings for Qu Ranran, it took me longer and longer to achieve success. This time I originally I want to teach you a lesson, but a new opportunity has come, and I find that I still need you."

"What chance?" Ji Lingtian asked lightly.

"Catch Guan Hao's new weakness."

"A new weakness?" Ji Lingtian was suspicious, "You mean Qiao Si?"

"Yes, he is Guan Hao's most important woman now."

"Between Guan Hao and Qiao Si, I think you have already seen the clue."

Ji Lingtian was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I also found out that Qiao Si has Guan Hao's child, and Guan Hao has already asked Qiao Si to keep the child behind Qu Ranran's back."

"It seems that it's time to shift your focus away from Qu Ranran."

"Well, I know how to do it."

The machine voice finally reminded, "This is my last patience. I want you to make a quick decision. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer again, I think you know what the consequences will be."

……

After finishing the call, Ji Lingtian casually threw the phone on the table.

Yes, for so many years, his handle has always been in the hands of this person who he still doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman, or how old he is.

This mysterious man, translated into English, is Mystery-man, so he secretly called this man "M".

He has been caught by "M" for so many years, but he has never been able to find out the real identity of "M", which shows how wise and cunning "M" is.

However, he disagrees with what "M" mentioned, that Qiao Si is the person Guan Hao cares most about now.

I don't know if it's because he loves Qu Ranran preconceivedly, so he feels that there is no woman in the world who can compare with Qu Ranran, so he doesn't think that Guan Hao will give up Qu Ranran for the sake of Joss. The feelings of love have always been traceable.

He didn't refute "M" at that time because he felt that he should push the boat along...

"M" always hoped that he would use Qu Ranran to deal with Guan Hao, but he never did so. The root cause was indeed as "M" said, he was unwilling to hurt Qu Ranran...

Now that "M" wants him to change his target, it is obvious that "M" thinks that Qu Ranran is no longer useful, so he no longer has to worry that "M" will force him to hurt Qu Ranran in order to blackmail Guan Hao up.

Although he was forced by "M" to deal with Guan Hao, he couldn't deny that he always wanted to have a real competition with Guan Hao.This time, it was him who started the duel with Guan Hao... When he wins Guan Hao, deals with "M", and gets Qu Ranran, he believes that these things will not be difficult.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingtian picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed a series of numbers.

"Mr. Ji." The subordinate called respectfully on the phone.

"I want to see Joss, and find some people in New York to 'bring' her to me."

"Yes."

new York.

In the pleasant afternoon, Joss sat in the living room and read a parenting book.

Suddenly, a doorbell rang.

Joss immediately put down the parenting book, got up and went to open the door.

The moment she opened the door, she was slightly taken aback, and a pleasant smile appeared on her face, "Guan Hao."

"I have something to tell you."

Joss quickly opened the door wide, "Come in."

Guan Hao then walked into Joss' apartment.

Joss asked excitedly, "Did you come back from City Y today?"

Guan Hao walked all the way to the floor-to-ceiling windows of Qiao Si's apartment, and replied softly, "Yes."

Joss walked up to Guan Hao and asked, "Where's Aunt? I saw on TV that she went to City Y with you to celebrate for President Ji. Didn't you come back with Aunt?"

Guan Hao spat out lightly, "I've sent someone to send her home."

Hearing what Guan Hao said, Qiao Si's excited face suddenly dimmed, and she lowered her eyes in disappointment, "It seems that Aunt is really angry with me."

Without comforting Qiao Si, Guan Hao said coldly, "There are some things you need to explain to me."

Joss raised her eyes sharply, "Huh?"

Guan Hao turned around, staring coldly at Joss's young and beautiful face, "The day Qu Ranran was going back to Alton, did you ask her to meet?"

This time he went to City Y, because he was worried about her staying in New York alone, so he secretly sent someone to protect her at all times, and only then did he know that she had contact with Joss.

Knowing that Guan Hao would know about this matter sooner or later, Qiao Si took a breath and nodded slightly, "Yes, that day I made an appointment with Miss Qu behind your back."

Guan Hao stared at Qiao Si with a gloomy gaze.

Joss lowered her eyes and said calmly, "That day I knew you would go to the airport to intercept Miss Qu, I just wanted to help you let Miss Qu stay."

The expression on Guan Hao's face was still cold and solemn, "What did you say to her?"

Joss replied truthfully, "I lied to her that when I was with Aunt, I accidentally learned that her mother's death was related to Aunt. I know that she will not leave New York in peace after hearing me say that... "

A trace of anger flashed through Guan Hao's dark eyes, "Who allowed you to lie to her like this?"

Qiao Si looked up at Guan Hao's angry eyes, and slowly said, "If I hadn't lied to Miss Qu to stay, do you think Miss Qu would really get back together with you?"

Guan Hao's black eyes stared at Qiao Si.

Joss' voice choked slightly, "In the year we dated, although you didn't put any real affection on me, I was always looking forward to my future with you... I know you often go to Alton to find Qu Miss, but I always think that you may only be thinking about the child in Ms. Qu's belly, you don't care about Ms. Qu herself, but later, Ms. Qu gave birth to a child, and you still fly to Alton... Guan Hao, actually I'm not stupid, our wedding caused such a farce, I know it was planned by you for Qu Ranran, although I am very sad, but I know that emotional matters cannot be forced, so I will not be angry with you. When you were with Qu Ranran in Alton those few days, I always wondered whether you and Ms. Qu would get back together. I found out later that you came back alone. I was really surprised at the time because It's hard for me to imagine that there are people in this world that you can't do anything about her. When I was feeling sad for you, I heard that Ms. Qu came to New York to find you on her own initiative for the sake of her child. At that time, I was thinking again, if you can stay It would be nice to live with Ms. Qu, but that day I accompanied my uncle to Haotian to find you, and I overheard you telling Zou Ji about preventing Ms. Qu from going to the airport. That's when I realized that Ms. Qu still didn't forgive you ...As a woman, I can understand Ms. Qu's persistence after being injured, but I feel sorry for you for your kindness and painstaking efforts for Ms. Qu..."

After listening to Qiao Si's explanation, Guan Hao's indifferent tone remained the same, "That's why you asked Qu Ranran to meet?"

Joss nodded slightly, "Yes."

Guan Hao's sharp eyes shot at Qiao Si's face, "Then what did you say when you met yesterday?"

Joss' tone was still slow and light, "Yesterday, I actually wanted to test Miss Qu to see if she stayed to investigate her mother's affairs, or to stay for you."

"You don't need to ask about these!!"

"Of course I want to ask... You came to the hospital that day and asked me to keep the child, which gave me hope and made me think that there is still a chance between us, so I can't help but want to know whether there is any relationship between you and Qu Ranran. There are cracks... I admit that my tone of voice to Qu Ranran was very bad that day, but I didn't gain the upper hand, she choked me speechless when she said that she had already given birth to a successor for you..." When she said the last sentence, Joss was so choked up that she couldn't make a sound.

Looking at Qiao Si's slightly red eyes, Guan Hao's indifferent handsome face softened a little, but his tone was still not gentle, "Take care of yourself, I don't want to see someone do some tricks behind my back."

Joss took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and replied, "Don't worry, I won't."

Qu Ranran is taking a nap...

In her sleep, she felt someone touch her lips lightly. The warm lips and the familiar breath caused Qu Ranran to slowly open her long eyelashes...

Guan Hao has already left her lips at this moment, his eyes are deeply fixed on her sleepy face.

Dazedly seeing the handsome face she was familiar with, Qu Ranran gradually came to her senses, rubbed her eyes, and after making sure she read it correctly, she sat up quickly and exclaimed happily, "Are you back?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Guan Hao didn't answer Qu Ranran, and the expression on his face didn't change too much, his eyes were still fixed on her.

Qu Ranran suddenly reached out and hugged Guan Hao, "I miss you so much..." She leaned on his shoulder, hugging him very tightly, feeling his breath and the warmth of his body.

However, today's atmosphere was slightly different, because Qu Ranran waited for a long time, but Guan Hao didn't see Guan Hao hugging her back.

Qu Ranran finally let go of Guan Hao slowly, looking at Guan Hao's unexpected gentle and handsome face, asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Qu Ranran's eyes slowly darken, Guan Hao said suddenly, "If Qiao Si hadn't lied to you that there is something hidden about your mother's death, would you have stayed here?"

"Cheat?" Qu Ranran was shocked, "Is she lying to me?"

"You should have rummaged through every drawer in my study, looking for evidence that I might have inadvertently left at home about my mother's treatment of your mother."

Early this morning, she knew that he was coming back tonight, so she searched his study, but found nothing, "I..."

"Ran Ran, my promise, with you, is it really that dismissive?" Guan Hao's eyes were hurt, and his tone was hoarse.

Unable to deny that she didn't take his promise to heart, Qu Ranran slowly closed her eyes.

"Heh..." Guan Hao smiled sarcastically, "You were with me that night, so you just didn't want to accompany me to City Y the next day to announce our reunion in front of the whole world... Ran Ran, so I would When I was naive, I thought you were really willing to let go of the past..."

Qu Ranran endured the pain in her heart, "You lied to me too, didn't you?"

"is it?"

Qu Ranran raised her eyes, "You said you had nothing to do with Joss, but the fact is that she is pregnant with your child."

Their eyes met, and his expression was stiff and cold.

These days, the tenderness of love in his eyes is slowly disappearing...

Why did he still come to question her?Isn't she the one to question?
Guan Hao spoke through his teeth calmly, "If you have any doubts, why don't you ask me? If you don't believe what I say, why pretend to love deeply?"

Qu Ranran struggled to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes, "Yeah, I was pretending to love you deeply. I had no illusions about you since the day I flew from City Y to Alton alone..."

There was an eternal silence between them.

In the end, Guan Hao smiled darkly, his laughter sounded so sarcastic and so downcast.

"I never thought that you are so reluctant to be with me... Sorry, I always don't know how to take your feelings into consideration. This time, I won't stop you anymore. What happened to your mother was just fabricated by Joss. I will prove to you that it is not true, and after you know the truth, you can leave at any time."

Silent night.

A cold and proud figure stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The lights in the office were not turned on, and the starlight of the city in front of the glass curtain was dotted with stars, and the faint light set off the handsome face of the man, which was indifferent and indifferent.

Zou Ji and Chen Lin stood four or five meters away from the man, their eyes fixed on the proud figure in front of them.

Fearing that talking loudly would disturb her master who was thinking in front of the French window, Chen Lin whispered to Zou Ji beside her, "It's so late, isn't the president going to rest in the office tonight?"

Zou Ji still looked ahead and shook his head.

Chen Lin sighed softly, "The president just came back from City Y in the afternoon, and it is reasonable to say that he should stay at home with Ms. Qu, but the president came to the company in the afternoon... Everyone was afraid of the president. Today, seeing his dark face, everyone is even more worried. It’s because he dared not speak, which made the whole company feel panicked and trembling.”

Zou Ji was silent for a while, and then replied, "It should be because I had a quarrel with Ms. Qu."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement, "I guess so. In terms of business, the CEO hasn't bothered about anything. The only thing that can bother him is Ms. Qu."

Zou Ji was just silent again.

Chen Lin asked again, "I was fine two days ago, why did you suddenly quarrel? When we met Miss Qu yesterday, when you mentioned the president to Miss Qu, I don't think Miss Qu was indifferent!"

……

at the same time.

Qu Ranran bent down to straighten the quilt for Yu An who was sleeping soundly, and then sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the peaceful sleeping face of the child.

Suddenly, she picked up her phone and took a look.

The time displayed on the phone screen was close to midnight.

Qu Ranran took a deep breath to ease the soreness in her heart, then put the phone on the bedside table, and slowly lay down on the bed.

Her mind began to play what he said to her in the afternoon——

I never thought that you are so reluctant to be with me...you can leave at any time.

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, she still had plans to leave. She originally stayed to find out whether Joss's claim that there was something hidden about her mother's death was true.

However, she doesn't need to stay now for this reason...

After he left the apartment in the afternoon, he ordered a document to be brought to her.

That document was Guan Hao who privately sent someone to investigate the records of his father's car accident that year.

According to the investigation by the police, the car accident was caused by the failure of the brakes. At that time, the car's brakes were not working, so that the car collided with a bank's money deposit car. Because it lost to the money deposit car's Hummer body, the car immediately burst into flames. Burned, and when the police rescued Guan's father and her mother from the car, they were dead on the spot and beyond recognition. However, according to the results of Guan Hao's investigation, the police found that the car was tampered with because of the brakes. What caused the car accident was that the policemen took money from her father back then, so all the blame for the car accident was pushed to the quality of the car itself. After that, no one continued to pursue the car accident. It's over.

Her father had personally admitted to causing the "car accident", and Guan's mother could not have conspired with her father. After all, even if Guan's mother hated her mother, she still had feelings for Guan's father. So as long as the fact of the car accident exists, It is impossible for Guan's mother to participate in the conspiracy to murder her mother and Guan's father. Now that Guan Hao puts the facts of the car accident in front of her, it shows that her mother and Guan's father were murdered by his father. suspicious.

To be honest, after knowing that what happened back then had nothing to do with Guan Mu, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Guan's mother is no longer as gentle and kind to her as when she first met her, she will always remember Guan's mother's kindness to her. Therefore, she is eager to investigate this matter clearly. On the one hand, she also wants to know whether what happened back then Just like what my father said, on the other hand, I hope to prove that Guan's mother is innocent.

It turns out that Joss lied to her... Joss really told a lie to get her to stay.

But, why did Joss lie to her?If she stayed, wouldn't it be more difficult for Qiao Si to be with Guan Hao?
