Chapter 460 - The First Song of Qin (33) (1/2)

Qiao Qian’qian obtained Tang Jinchen’s number from someone and called him to meet up.

According to the plot, Tang Jinchen ought to have met Qiao Qian’qian soon after she returned.

But since Qiao Qian’qian didn’t enter a large company, instead going off to manage the Qiao Family’s company, the chances of the two meeting now that they were on different levels was very slim.

She’d seen Tang Jinchen a few times, but always avoided him.

Tang Jinchen was even more of a Casanova than he was before. It seemed like he had quite a few women on the side, enough that he’d have a new ‘companion’ every day.

He had even brought one of them with him to see Qiao Qian’qian.

Tang Jinchen examined Qiao Qian’qian from head to toe before sitting down across from her, embracing the woman in his arms. He spoke in a mocking voice, “Qiao Qian’qian, and here I thought you wouldn’t appear before me ever again.”

“Tang Jinchen…” Was there any need for their conversation to be like this?

“Tang-zong, who is she?” The woman leaned in Tang Jinchen’s arms, coquettishly asking him.

“No one important.”

Tang Jinchen’s expression of ridicule nearly made Qiao Qian’qian get up and leave. But the memory of what that person said to her came back.

‘I was the victim back then, yet he’s acting like I was the one who let him down. How could he?’

“Tang Jinchen, let’s talk in private.”

She had to reach the same position as Qiao Chu. Otherwise, she’d be stuck in the latter’s shadow for the rest of her life.

Tang Jinchen fell silent for a moment, before he reached out to pinch the woman’s waist. “Go wait for me in the car.”

The woman appeared rather unwilling. Tang Jinchen gave her a passionate French kiss right in front of Qiao Qian’qian, before the woman was willing to take the car keys and leave.

Qiao Qian’qian still liked Tang Jinchen in her heart, so seeing his unbridled behaviour caused her face to turn ghastly pale.

“Go on then. What did you want with me?” Tang Jinchen raised his chin as if he were giving charity by listening to her.

Had Qiao Qian’qian not experienced what she had recently, she probably would have just felt upset. But now, together with seeing Tang Jinchen acting this way, she felt like he was looking down on her.

The last bit of hesitation in her heart left, making that idea she had turn even more crazy.

……

Qiao Qian’qian and Tang Jinchen ended up together in a very weird way.

Tang Jinchen gave her company the chance to pick itself off the ground, while in return, Qiao Qian’qian would become his mistress.

Oh right, Tang Jinchen got married. His bride was a weak-willed woman who didn’t dare to assert herself with Tang Jinchen. Hence, even when Qiao Qian’qian entered her house, she didn’t dare to say a single word of objection.

Qiao Qian’qian wanted to reach the same heights as Shi Sheng.

But how could it be easy to marry into a rich household? What more when it wasn’t a proper marriage…

The Tang Family didn’t like Qiao Qian’qian to begin with, yet she openly started living with them. Things were still okay while Tang Jinchen was around, but Qiao Qian’qian suffered quite a lot whenever he wasn’t.

But she bore through it all.

She told herself she had to be resolute, and the first step was to be harsh to herself. Only then could she get what she wanted.

When a woman decided to harden her heart, even men might not be able to compare.

Tang Jinchen would bring Qiao Qian’qian with him to participate in some banquets.

Qiao Qian’qian thought she’d see Qin Ge and Shi Sheng at some point, but she never saw them at these places.

“…You’re talking about Qin-zong? He rarely participates in these types of events.”

“Eh, this Qin-zong is a really insensitive fellow. The other time when I dropped my stuff, he just walked past…”

“I reckon you were just trying to attract his attention, right?”
