Chapter 243: Hate me, I Give You Reason to Hate (14)
"Hmph, I figured he’d come looking for you about now." Qiao Dehou snorted, a glint in his eye."Go to the Swiss Bank vault, I’ve stored the jade there. Give it to Shen Ling."
Qiao Mo was slightly taken aback, "Is there really some white jade?"
But even if she gives it to Shen Ling, with his sinister and cunning nature, he may not change his testimony...
Qiao Dehou looked at Qiao Mo, a smile tugging at his lips, but he said nothing. He gently held Qiao Mo’s hand and handed her a note.
Qiao Mo was speechless, carefully putting the note away.
She finally understood, he probably got into a fight just to see her.
Qiao Dehou grinned at Qiao Mo and said, "When trading with Shen Ling, remember to find a third party to underwrite."
...
When Qiao Mo walked out of the prison, she was still in a fog, unable to understand what exactly Qiao Dehou intended to do.
Just white jade?
Does the Qiao family really have some white jade...?
Han Zirui didn’t leave, Qiao Dehou seemed to have more to say to him.
Qiao Mo held onto the note tightly in her hand, not daring to open it even after leaving the prison, her palm was sweating from fear of being discovered.
It wasn’t until she got into the car and it was slowly moving on the road.
That she finally let out a breath of relief.
She glanced at the man next to her, seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to her.
Then she carefully opened the note in her hand, holding her breath, unusually nervous.
The small note was unfolded little by little, revealing a few scrawled words: "Smile."
After the words, there was a simple drawing of a stick-figure girl with two braids and a wide, goofy grin.
Dammit!
Even though Qiao Mo was in a foul mood, she couldn’t help but want to curse.
Why was she so nervous and cautious?
She thought Qiao Dehou had something important to say, or that the note contained the safe’s password?
In the end, he just gave her a stick-figure drawing!
In resignation, Qiao Mo’s gaze fell back on the small note in her hand.
Looking at the scrawled words, her eyes gradually became wet.
He must be worried that she’d be unhappy.
She only visited him twice, but not only did he never complain, he was worried about her instead.
The car suddenly jolted, causing the note in her hand to fall to the ground.
Qiao Mo was about to reach for it when a lean, clean hand already picked up the note.
Fu Nancheng glanced at the words and handed the note back to her.
Qiao Mo looked at the large hand, a scratch she’d made earlier marring its beauty.
She didn’t take it, so he held it there in front of her.
Time slowly passed by.
Seeing her unwilling to take it, Fu Nancheng looked up at her and pressed the note to her forehead.
Because the note was small, it easily stuck when he pressed it, looking particularly cute.
Qiao Mo stared at him blankly, forgetting to take the note down.
Fu Nancheng glanced at her, then nonchalantly returned to his documents.
Qiao Mo also withdrew her gaze. Turning her head, she saw her reflection in the car window.
Her eyes were swollen, and a note stuck to her forehead with the large words "Smile" alongside a goofy stick-figure girl.
Qiao Mo was a bit lost, staring at her reflection for a long time.
As her gaze shifted, she noticed his reflection in the small window glass as well.
It wasn’t as clear as hers, but she could see him looking at her, a hint of tenderness in his eyes...
