Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 89: Chapter 83 Qiao Jing Cried

Qiao Jing scoffed coldly, “Such a great opportunity, you should save it for your precious daughter Qiao Mengtong. I’m already married now.”

After these words, Qiao Jing did not want to say another word to Qiao Licheng, and she strode into the community.

Desperate, Qiao Licheng chased after her, speaking as he did, “My child, think about it again, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Qiao Jing was particularly annoyed with Qiao Licheng, stopped in her tracks, and spoke with an uncontrollably harsh tone.

“If you don’t leave now, I will have security throw you out.”

Qiao Licheng’s face stiffened, and for the sake of his ultimate goal, he forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart once again.

“On the 29th at the end of this month, it’s your sister’s birthday, and I hope you can come.”

Qiao Licheng planned to arrange for Qiao Jing to meet Boss Hou at the banquet, hoping that Boss Hou would take a liking to Qiao Jing, and thus, Qiao Mengtong’s crisis would be resolved.

The 29th…

Qiao Jing paused, that day was also her birthday, and Lin Xiuxiang had been clamoring to celebrate it for her.

Qiao Licheng probably doesn’t remember.

What does it matter whether he remembers or not? Either way, it’s irrelevant to her.

Just as Qiao Jing was thinking this, Qiao Licheng’s next words touched her deeply.

“Your mother left quite a few things for you before she passed away. I had everything gathered, toys, scarves, sweaters, gloves she knitted for you… There’s also a USB drive, also left by her, hoping you would see it when you grew up.”

On hearing this, Qiao Jing’s grip on the plastic bag tightened, emotions surging within her.

Although she had no memory of her biological mother, who had only cared for her for less than a month before she passed away, she knew she had a good mother, the best and most selfless mother in the world.

Everyone else had abandoned her, only her mother tirelessly stayed by her side every day, caring for her…

At this thought, Qiao Jing’s eyes began to swell with pain, turning red and moist.

Seeing Qiao Jing’s rare display of sadness, Qiao Licheng was secretly thrilled, believing his plan was a success.

“Don’t forget, come on the 29th, attend your sister’s birthday party, and I’ll give you all these items.”

After reminding Qiao Jing a couple more times, Qiao Licheng turned and left cheerfully.

Qiao Jing looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, holding back her tears.

All these years, she had always been strong on her own, rarely letting anything affect her emotions.

Only her mother remained the softest spot in her heart.

Untouchable.

“What’s wrong with her?”

As soon as Zhan Qipei got out of the car, he saw Qiao Jing looking up, seemingly at nothing.

Looking up where Qiao Jing was looking, he saw nothing.

Zhan Qipei walked over, puzzled, “You—”

Before he could finish, Zhan Qipei saw the girl’s reddened eyes, bearing a pitiful look as if restraining her tears, which stirred a painful, sympathetic feeling inside him.

It felt as though his heart was being clenched.

“Are you unwell?” His voice instinctively softened, fearing that speaking too loudly might cause the girl more discomfort.

Qiao Jing shook her head and said nothing.

Zhan Qipei frowned slightly, his face darkening as his voice unconsciously grew colder, “Has someone been bullying you?”

Qiao Jing glanced sideways at Zhan Qipei, “Do I look like someone who would be bullied?”

Hearing Qiao Jing say this, Zhan Qipei recalled past events and realized that indeed, every time someone had trouble with Qiao Jing, they were met with her direct rebuttal.

“What’s the matter with you?”

“Nothing, the wind is strong, it got in my eyes.”

Strong wind?

Zhan Qipei scanned the surroundings, the leaves on the treetops were as still as a painting, and not a single hair on the girl’s head fluttered. This excuse was technically lacking, wasn’t it?

But if the girl wouldn’t speak up, even if he continued asking, he wouldn’t get the answers he sought.

If he couldn’t ask, he could investigate.

After returning to his apartment room, Zhan Qipei immediately called Tang Yan.

“Check it out, who has she been in contact with today, has anyone been looking for trouble with her?”

“Huh?” Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, “Her? Who? Miss? Couldn’t be, right? With Miss’s temper, who would dare to bully her? Could it be Miss Qiao? If it’s really Miss Qiao, that would be troublesome.”

Tang Yan was troubled; he was currently pursuing Lin Xiuxiang, who was Qiao Jing’s good friend. If the boss was really causing trouble for Qiao Jing over Nanqing’s matter, he would be in a difficult position being caught in the middle!

While Tang Yan was pondering, Zhan Qipei’s voice rang out on the phone.

“Qiao Jing!”

“Really Miss Qiao?!” Tang Yan twitched his cursed lips, “Boss, I think Miss Qiao is quite a sensible person, usually wouldn’t provoke others deliberately. Not that I’m speaking ill of the young lady, but I think this matter is mostly stirred up by the young lady herself.”

Zhan Qipei wordlessly twitched at the corner of his eye, “The ‘her’ I am referring to is Qiao Jing!”

Tang Yan was momentarily stunned, realizing his misunderstanding.

“Oh, alright, I’ll start investigating immediately!”

Qiao Jing being bullied meant he had to be diligent in his investigation, so he sent out all the manpower he could employ, determined to find the person who bullied Qiao Jing in the shortest time possible.

If someone dared to bully Qiao Jing, she was Lin Xiuxiang’s friend, and that made her his, Tang Yan’s, friend!

The neighboring room.

Qiao Jing’s emotions had settled, and recalling Qiao Licheng’s attitude earlier, she had been that to him, and he hadn’t gotten angry at all?

Could it really be that he only wanted to use her to please the boss of Huayang Foodstuff?

Qiao Jing opened her phone, sending a message to Xu Moqian to investigate it.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Jing received a call from Xu Moqian.

“Damn it! Are they freaking kidding me?!” Xu Moqian was so infuriated he felt like flipping a table.

“What happened?”

“It’s too much! I’m about to be driven to death by them! What about looking out for you, acquainting you with the boss of Huayang Foodstuff? It’s all bullshit!”

Xu Moqian wasn’t usually a vulgar person, in fact, he was well-mannered, rarely swearing, only doing so when faced with things he couldn’t tolerate.

“Sister Jing, you don’t know, it turns out Qiao Mengtong had offended Hou Bo’s mistress, so Hou Bo made Qiao Mengtong wait on him. The Qiao family wouldn’t let their precious daughter suffer, so they proposed that you replace Qiao Mengtong, to be Hou Bo’s plaything!”

This revelation startled Qiao Jing.

She thought Qiao Licheng merely wanted her to join the Hou family in exchange for business benefits. She hadn’t expected it was to shield Qiao Mengtong from disaster.

“Hmph! Sounds nice, saying it’s marriage! Basically, it means sending you to Hou Bo. It’s despicable!” Xu Moqian gnashed his teeth, bellowing in fury.

Qiao Jing’s face turned icy, her eyes and brows chilled.

Consider, she had her own means of self-protection. If she were just an ordinary person, could she have resisted Qiao Licheng? Needless to say, the outcome would definitely involve her being captured by Qiao Licheng and delivered to Hou Bo’s bed.

Originally, she was meant to plead for Qiao Mengtong’s pardon; by then, whether dead or alive, whole or injured, who would care?

Meanwhile, Zhan Qipei received a call back from Tang Yan.

“Boss, I’ve found it.”
