Qiao Yuying was very frustrated recently.

Huo Lin's pursuit repelled her greatly.

This person was affectionate and devoted in front of everyone, but to her, she really couldn't care less about such feelings.

Huo Lin's previous wife was a daughter of a wealthy family, and she gave birth to two sons and a son. His current wife's family background was pretty good too, but she was much younger than his previous wife and had a son and a daughter.

Afterward, Huo Lin still had a few lovers who had a few children.

All these women bore some resemblance to Qiao Yuying without exception.

All the outsiders said that he was infatuated with Qiao Yuying – he could not gain her love, so he looked for subst.i.tutes to keep by his side. They said he could not forget Qiao Yuying after all these years and was a romantic.

This fellow's action actually attracted many women. Some even feel that Huo Lin was an affectionate man and wanted to replace Qiao Yuying to become someone Huo Lin liked.

Huo Lin indeed had never given up on pursuing her all these years, but Qiao Yuying was very disdainful toward such meaningless feelings.

He hugged other women and had children successively while at the same time claiming that he could not forget about her. Was this not a typical sc.u.m?

Recently, the company faced some problems with its raw materials. The batch of materials that she purchased overseas was not outstanding and another batch that caught her eye was obtained by Huo Lin.

It was a fact that she did not place the order in advance, but it was definite that Huo Lin also intercepted it intentionally. She was well aware of this, but she had no evidence.

Huo Lin acted exceptionally generous and said that as long as she gave the word, he would gift all those items to her.

f.u.c.k!

Qiao Yuying could not help but curse.

Putting it nicely, it was gifting her, but in unpleasant terms, didn't he just want her to beg and submit to him and owe him a favor?

She did not want to at all!

Qiao Yuying was in a very bad mood and was about to get off work, but she received a call from Qin Zhiyuan. After she picked up the call and heard what Qin Zhiyuan said, she was extremely shocked and immediately went to take a look.

Qin Zhiyuan never took part in the jewelry business. It was really rare for him to actually have top-grade raw jade.

Qiao Yuying would not suspect that Qin Zhiyuan was lying to her as their families originated from the same place and had been helping each other all these years. It was impossible for Qin Zhiyuan to make such a lame joke.

Thus, Qiao Yuying immediately went to the agreed place.

Qiao Yuying was very polite toward Qin Zhiyuan and asked, “Director Qin, do you really have top-grade raw jade?”

The supposed top-grade raw jade was merely a casual term that people like them used, as, after all, no one could ascertain its quality. However, one could see its surface, and the higher the probability of a jade appearing, the higher its quality.

Qin Zhiyuan looked at her and inhaled deeply. “Director Qiao, I indeed have a top-grade item, and it's already showing a lot. It looks to be a top-grade item. We just don't know how many there will be once it is cut open.”

Qiao Yuying was delighted!

“However, I called you out today not to talk about work matters. There is someone I know who wants to meet you.”

Qiao Yuying was dumbfounded. “Meet me? Who?”

Qin Zhiyuan looked to the side to signal Gu Qingyao to come out.

Gu Qingyao could hear them talking and naturally knew that Qiao Yuying was already here. She was really nervous right now as it was the first time in two lifetimes meeting her mother and the nervousness within her could not be quelled at all.

She walked out slowly and saw a face that was extremely similar to hers.

Qiao Yuying had great maintenance and appeared to be just over thirty years old. There were no signs of aging on her face, and she had an additional feeling of maturity compared to a young lady.

As she was a tough and successful woman, she exuded a capable demeanor.

This was the first time Gu Qingyao saw her mother!
