Chapter 1157: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (13)

Qiao Zhigang frowned upon hearing this.

After a pause, he slowly said, “Our family has struggled for eight years, all because we hoped to marry you off to Lu Nanze. With this child, things are now much easier. I think it may be about time that I went to Lu Nanze’s father and discuss your marriage.”

Qiao Yiyi’s eyes lit up at once when he said this. Immediately, she hung her head and gave another random sob.

Qiao Zhigang continued, “From tomorrow onwards, don’t go to work. Stay at home and tend to your pregnancy. The most critical thing now is to deliver this child. Leave the rest of the matter to me to handle.”

Qiao Yiyi struggled for a moment and bit her lip, saying, “But Dad, as long as Qiao Lian is around, Second Brother will never set his heart on me.”

At this point, she said viciously, “Hasn’t she already made up her mind that she was never going to be with Second Brother? So what’s this situation now? This is too much! On the one hand, she’s married to someone else, on the other hand she gets herself entangled with Second Brother! This Qiao Lian, she’s always had ulterior motives.”

She said grudgingly through gritted teeth, “She went away then and should have just stayed away. Now she’s returned after eight years, it must be for revenge! Dad, she’s back to take revenge for sure. She feels we’re doing too well and has come back to avenge her parents.!

“Shut up!” Qiao Zhigang shouted loudly, stopping Qiao Yiyi from speaking further.

The man’s face now displayed an underlying viciousness that contradicted his simple and honest looks. “You will not speak of that matter again! Now, go upstairs, rest and focus on taking care of your pregnancy. We’ve retreated and put up with so much all these years just so that the day would come when we would have a better life. You have to marry into the Lu family, that’s for sure! I will do all I can to get you there. But your job now is to see the pregnancy through and whatever dirty work there is, I’ll do the cleaning for you.”

Qiao Yiyi was taken aback and asked, “Cleaning… Like how?”

A murderous look flashed across Qiao Zhigang’s eyes as he said, “Of course, we’ll do a clean job so that it will never come back to bother you again!”

Qiao Yiyi suddenly felt a strange chill down her spine.

The news that Qiao Yiyi had left the office in tears spread far and wide in the office at once.

Qiao Lian had even heard about it just sitting there in the caster’s office.

Leisurely eating some fruits, she narrowed her eyes as she contemplated this.

Given what Lu Nanze was like, it would be easy to make him completely destroy his relationship with Qiao Yiyi.

The moment their relationship completely broke down, Qiao Yiyi would wish death upon Lu Nanze, which meant that she would surely use the account¡ book.

Although there had been trouble along the way, overall it was still progressing quite successfully. This was a happy and relaxing thought.

Qiao Lian held a toothpick between her fingers, stuck it into a piece of pineapple and popped it into her mouth.

The sourish burst of flavor filled her mouth and it tasted sublime.

As she was enjoying the fruit, she received a call from the penthouse’s office, asking her to go to the penthouse.

Qiao Lian thought for a while and decided to make her way up slowly.

When she arrived at the penthouse, the secretary pointed at a bowl of strawberries and said, “Mr. Lu specially asked to have these bought for you. He’s asked you to go to his office and enjoy them in peace.”

Qiao Lian: …

What did this mean? Was he trying to make the point that he trusted her and was willing to let her into his office?

She shook her head, picked up the bowl of strawberries and walked into his office.
