My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One

Chapter 39 - Married {5}

"If only Mother knew that Qiqi was really mean to me. How come, her handsome future husband has an important meeting this morning, i took her home to take care of some of my needs but she didn't want to. It makes me sad, Mother. How can Qiqi just abandon me in a big city, and leave me alone."

Qiao Xin could only open her mouth wide. It turns out that besides being sharp as a knife, and likes to judge things with money, Xiao Long's other skills are tongue-tight and playing drama. What a terrifying man indeed.

"Qiao, what are you doing?" Qiao Xin couldn't help but smile, and she knew that her mother would scold her right now. "Your husband-to-be wants a meeting, this is for the sake of his job to keep it stable. Why don't you want to go home with him? As a future wife you must be devoted to your husband, you must always support whatever your husband does. Don't be a wife who doesn't seem to know herself, who only wants his money. But I don't want to do my duty as a wife."

"But, ma'am. I still miss you and An Xin very much. So I-"

"No reason, Qiao. You are a grown woman, a woman who will soon be married. Your priority now is your future husband, not Mother or An Xin. So stop arguing because we miss you. Because honestly, it would make Mother feel bad for Xiao Long. Now, finish your breakfast, and take a shower. After that you must prepare to return to the city, and take very good care of your future husband."

Qiao Xin looked even more annoyed, and she looked back at Xiao Long, who was already smiling as if Xiao Long was so happy to see her suffer. Something that irritated Qiao Xin even more. But, what could Qiao Xin do? She couldn't help but hate and resent Xiao Long even more for what Xiao Long had done now.

"Let mom. I'll be ready to go back," Qiao Xin decided. She immediately left, went into the room, and then threw herself on the bed. Qiao Xin had no idea that Xiao Long would go this far for her, pretending to be the perfect husband-to-be, when in reality, Xiao Long is the most annoying person in the world. Yes, Qiao Xin hated Xiao Long a lot, even then.

After Qiao Xin got ready, she finally came out with her suitcase. Xiao Long, who had already packed up, was waiting for Qiao Xin at the door after saying goodbye to Qiao Xin's family. Qiao Xin, who was still annoyed, got into Xiao Long's car without even saying anything.

The car was moving quickly, splitting the road, which was quite narrow in Qiao Xin's hometown. The asphalted roads have even been damaged a lot, which is only enough for one car to pass. Qiao Xin's neighbors also looked out of the house, all-seeing the scene, how no luxury cars entered the village. So Xiao Long's car was the first and only luxury car to enter the village.

"Relax, Qiao, Mother is coming next weekend!" Qiao Xin's Mother shouted, glanced at her neighbors, and then started to go inside. Qiao Xin Mother's neighbors immediately blocked Qiao Xin's Mother from entering.

"Miss Liu, who was the handsome man that Qiao was with just now? I saw him come with his parents yesterday carrying some gifts. What's more, he also spent the night at your place and just got home. Is that handsome boy named Jia Min?" asked one of Qiao Xin's Mother neighbors.

Hearing this, Qiao Xin's mother grew a bit bigger. It was as if she had managed to prove to all her neighbors that Qiao Xin could find a good man and be proud of. Yes, that was what Mother Qiao Xin was proud of. Because all this time, Ms. Qiao Xin knew that their neighbors were too ostracized by the Liu family and acted independently because the Liu family was the poorest.

"He is not Jia Min, but he is Qiao's future husband. The figure of a man who works hard, and is very handsome. The figure of a man who is responsible and very kind to our family. In fact, Xiao Long has paid off our family's debt, paid for my medical treatment as well as schooling from An Xin. Xiao Long is an absolutely perfect person," Qiao Xin's mother replied. After being satisfied with making her neighbors jealous, Qiao Xin's mother went straight into the house with a smile full of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xin glanced at Xiao Long, who was humming lightly, whistling a few POP songs trending right now. Qiao Xin took a deep breath, and she seemed to be resting her chin while looking at the scenery outside her car window. For some reason, she was in a bad state right now.

Yes, Qiao Xin had to find a way to go back to work and earn money. Because if she just kept quiet, and being 'Mrs. Han' would never give her anything. She also had personal needs other than her family's, and even Qiao Xin felt indebted because Xiao Long had to bear all of her family's expenses. And more than that, what made Qiao Xin even more confused? What would she do with the money she asked for from Xiao Long? Qiao Xin didn't know what to do now.

"Okay, I'll go to the office first, then I'll go to the W Corporation, and maybe come back in the afternoon. That night you have to get ready to go home, Mother also told me to make preparations, the Han family designer will come to design our clothes, as well as a few other people, and more," Xiao Long stopped his activities and took some documents that were on his desk. Then Xiao Long looked at Qiao Xin. "Grandpa can go home tomorrow, we'll all decorate Grandpa's room later,"

Qiao Xin nodded her head, and then she let go of her bag. Sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. Where else are you going? Qiao Xin had no special place in Xiao Long's apartment. Except on this annoying couch.

" Alright, I'm going," Xiao Long decided. Get out of the apartment, then close the apartment door from the outside.

Qiao Xin took another deep breath, then she took her bag and left. Qiao Xin realized that if she couldn't do anything, she had to find a job before nightfall, and she had to go to the Han family's house, which even until this moment Qiao Xin didn't know what it looked like.

Qiao Xin seemed to be treading a deserted street, and her two little legs seemed to stop for a moment. Qiao Xin never expected that her life would end like this. Life was full of drama, which Qiao Xin herself didn't even know until the drama ended.

"Qiao Xin!"

Qiao Xin was silent for a moment, and then she turned around. She was stunned to see a figure running towards her. Her hair was shoulder-length curls, her eyes were round, Qiao Xin's height was an ear, and the figure had a small nose.

Mei was the figure's name, one of Qiao Xin's best friends when she worked at the W Corporation back then. But, how could Mei come here to approach him?

"Miy?"

"Oh my God, I've been looking for you for weeks, now I just found you. I looked for you in your old apartment, but you weren't there. What actually happened? Where are you now, Qiao Xin? Even after I found out that you were no longer working at the W Corporation I immediately looked for you. You know, I also decided to leave from there, I have decided to resign from the W Corporation."

"What?" Qiao Xin was shocked. Mei nodded her head vigorously, and then she grabbed Qiao Xin's hand.

"Yes, it's true what you heard, Qiao. I resigned. You know, the biggest reason I joined the W Corporation was you, and now you're not there. How could I still live there if my best friend wasn't there? After all, even if you are a friend of Master Jiang, still Master Jiang is not you."

"But, Mei—"

"Don't worry, I've got a new job at a more prestigious company. If you want and are still looking for a job, I will help you get in there, coincidentally the Director of the division where I work has great faith in me, I'm sure he will consider you."

Qiao Xin seemed to smile when she was confused and indecisive about work. At that time, her best friend came to give a very pleasant helping hand. Qiao Xin never thought, if all this time she felt alone and had no one. She still had Ling Mei. The figure that was now in front of her, the one that made Qiao Xin so incredibly happy, she felt like she was being rewarded like this.

"Mei, you know I thought that all along I had no one. After I left W Corporation I felt that I had no one. Because even my best friend has dumped me for real. I feel like, even I am inferior to Jiang's joint business relationship with the Han Corporation. I am valued like money in Jiang Ming's eyes. I'm so devastated and disappointed, May. Why did Jiang Ming act like that to me, when we were friends from our college days."

Mei seemed to understand what Qiao Xin was feeling. How could Qiao Xin not be this broken? That cooperative relationship was what Qiao Xin looked forward to the most, and who could even say that Qiao Xin was the one who fought the most for all of them. But after the cooperative relationship worked, it was only because of a condition to expel Qiao Xin, and Jiang Min was stupid.
