The original investigation had come to a standstill. The jade pendant seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and its owner could not be found at all.

until......

"Isn't this my daughter's jade pendant?" Linwood was drunk and yelled with a thick tongue.

Assistant Yan hasn't slept well for a week because of this matter, and his superiors are pressing him hard. Now hearing these words is like grasping a life-saving straw.

"Uncle, have you seen this jade pendant?"

Assistant Yan said excitedly.

Linwood took a glance and blurted out: “How could I not have seen him? He has been with me for more than ten years.”

The jade pendant belongs to this middle-aged man?

Assistant Yan still remembered that the jade pendant belonged to Mr. Huo's sister. Not to mention that the person in front of him was too old, the gender was also wrong!

His look of disbelief made Lin Wood very dissatisfied. He said drunkenly, "Don't believe it? I still have photos."

A few minutes later.

Assistant Yan looked at the identical jadeite on the phone screen and fell into a long silence.

Mr. Huo would not joke about his family's affairs, but the person in front of him had evidence, so he didn't know who was lying.

at this time.

Linwood suddenly let the cat out of the bag.

"I have raised her for so many years, this jade pendant is my reward. Qinglu likes it, so I can't do anything about it."

There is a huge amount of information in the words.

Assistant Yan rolled his eyes and quickly guessed the truth.

and so.

Did the jade pendant originally belong to the adopted daughter?

The adopted daughter of the Lin family is...Lin Xingran.

"What did you say?" Huo Shiyan raised his head abruptly, not even paying attention to the video conference that was about to begin.

A pair of dark and deep eyes stared at the person in front of him.

The voice was cold and deep: "Say it again."

The air around him seemed to freeze.

Assistant Yan gritted his teeth and repeated what he said.

"We found the owner of the jade pendant. She is Lin Xingran, the adopted daughter of the Lin family."

Lin Xingran...

A face flashed through his mind, and Huo Shiyan was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, muttering to himself: "It's her."

The biological sister he had been looking for was right beside him?

Huo Shiyan was excited, but he reacted quickly.

During the few times they had been together, Lin Xingran didn't seem to have a very good impression of him because of Qiao Qin's matter.

Huo Shiyan frowned and soon realized the problem, but it was not too late to save his image now.

"Prepare the car and go to the Lin family."

He quickly made a judgment in his mind, stood up and walked out.

......

Huo's Jewelry.

Qiao Qin sat in the office and rubbed his brows. So many things had happened recently that a lot of work had piled up.

She worked from day till late at night and finally emptied her mailbox.

The cold moon hangs in the sky.

Qiao Qin looked at the empty office, fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and her heart inexplicably tightened.

She thought she could forget about that person by being busy.

result.

It’s still difficult.

Even though I know all his problems, I still can't control my heart.

Qiao Qin smiled bitterly.

There's really no hope.

After what happened yesterday, she didn't have the courage to go find Dr. Fu to thank him.

As for Huo Shiyan...

Qiao Qin shook her head, trying to deceive herself and forget the existence of this person in her mind.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter.

Qiao Qin slowly opened her eyes. She actually fell asleep in the office last night, and she didn't know when a coat was put on her shoulders.

"knock--"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Before Qiao Qin could open her mouth, she heard a sharp voice.

"So what if she has a backer? The company is not hers. If you don't want to work, just get out."

The door was flung open.

The man was dressed in a professional suit, with a sarcastic face that showed he was difficult to get along with. He narrowed his eyes and was also looking at Qiao Qin.

"Sorry, I didn't stop you." The assistant came over in a panic, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice: "This is Manager Chen. He has a daughter who just returned from studying abroad. She just submitted her resume to the company not long ago..."

Qiao Qin raised her eyebrows, just in time to meet the resentment in Manager Chen's eyes, and instantly understood something in her heart.

The position her daughter wanted to apply for might just be occupied by her.

Qiao Qin was not panicked at all. Not to mention her identity, from the very beginning she entered the Huo family relying on her strength rather than any background.

Manager Chen put his hands on his hips and said indignantly, "Today is the deadline for the exhibition competition next month. Where are your designs?"

"It's amazing to have a background. You can just come up with a random work and fool people."

She was still chattering on.

The office door was not closed, and a shrill female voice echoed throughout the entire floor.

There were constant strange looks from people around.

The assistant frowned and couldn't stand it anymore, so she retorted, "Chen Xiaolan, you know our director is pregnant, don't be so aggressive!"

"Pregnant? Then go home and have the baby. Why are you coming to the company?" Chen Xiaolan started scolding directly, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

"It's a waste of company resources."

Obviously.

She was filled with resentment about her daughter not being able to work at the Huo company, and she blamed it all on Qiao Qin.

next second.

Qiao Qin stood up calmly, met Chen Xiaolan's gaze, and slowly said, "I have already handed the design to Director Lu."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"How is that possible?" Chen Xiaolan sneered and said sarcastically, "Are you trying to get Director Lu to help you get away with this again? If someone didn't know, they would think there was some secret going on between you two."

Followed by.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.

"What are you all doing here? Don't you have to work?" Lu Guangxi's voice suddenly came from far away.

Chen Xiaolan's body stiffened slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

She had already received an offer from a rival company, and this fuss was intended to damage the reputation of Huo’s Jewelry.

Otherwise, they must be shrewd people in the workplace. They rushed forward even though they knew that this person named Qiao had a background. Only those young and inexperienced people would do such a thing.

The abacus in her mind was clacking.

however.

Lu Guangxi ran in excitedly. When he saw other people in the office, he was stunned for a moment, and soon his eyes fell on Qiao Qin.

His eyes lit up and he strode over.

"Well done, I knew you wouldn't let me down."

Lu Guangxi's face was flushed. He took out a design drawing and announced, "The jewelry you designed has been selected as the finale. This is the result of the meeting just now."

His tone was excited, but the exclamation that one would imagine did not occur after he finished speaking.

There was dead silence in the office.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

Lu Guangxi looked confused, looked at Chen Xiaolan beside him and asked, "Smile, why don't you smile? This is great news."

His response was still silence.

"Hahaha!" The assistant beside Qiao Qin couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud, holding his belly.

Chen Xiaolan looked very ugly, and felt a burning pain on both sides of her cheeks.

"Huh? Why is your face so red?"

But Lu Guangxi couldn't understand the colors and suddenly said something.

In an instant, everyone turned to look in the same direction.

Chen Xiaolan's face turned black. She stood there feeling uncomfortable as if being pricked by needles, but she was unwilling to leave like this.

She snatched the design and after looking at it for a few times and finding no fault with it, she whispered, "Are you sure you didn't take someone else's work and pass it off as your own?"

Before Qiao Qin could say anything, Lu Guangxi's eyes widened and he exploded first.

"No, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it either."

Lu Guangxi would not give people face. He would just say whatever he wanted to say without hesitation, and then he would remember something and continue talking halfway.

"Your daughter is no good either. After all, she is a top student from a prestigious foreign university, but her work is like that of a child."

Chen Xiaolan was so angry that she was shaking all over and her eyes were red.

Lu Guangxi then realized that he had said the wrong thing. He slapped his lips and said angrily: "Sorry, how about we go out for dinner together? I have booked a room at the Sunshine Hotel to celebrate Xiaoqin's achievements at work this time."

Unexpectedly.

Chen Xiaolan seemed to be even angrier, her chest heaving violently. After glaring at Lu Guangxi fiercely, she stormed away in her high heels.

"What kind of person is this? Is he angry?" Lu Guangxi touched his nose and complained.

Qiao Qin curled her lips slightly: "Let's go."

Lu Guangxi was stunned for two seconds: "Where are you going?"

"Aren't we going to eat?" Qiao Qin asked.

Lu Guangxi finally reacted and waved his hand proudly, "Let's go, I'll pay for the meal."

After a while.

Qiao Qin glanced at the drunk Lu Guangxi and couldn't help shaking her head. The others were not much better.

She was probably the only one still sober at the table.

The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Qiao Qin frowned and felt her stomach churning. She immediately stood up and went to the bathroom.

Calculate the time.

It’s almost time for morning sickness to start.

Seeing her pale face in the mirror, Qiao Qin smiled bitterly and turned on the faucet to flush the filth away.

She was just about to return to the box when she heard a familiar voice.

"Qinqin?"

Qiao Qin turned around immediately and saw Lin Xingran waving at her in a black evening dress.

"I saw that the figure from behind looked like you so I called out, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Lin Xingran said with a smile.

Qiao Qin was also surprised and blurted out: "Why are you here? How is Auntie?"

"Come and participate in the event. My mother's condition has stabilized, thanks to your help." Having said this, Lin Xingran hesitated but still said it.

"Doctor Fu seems to be looking for you. He asked me about your condition several times. I think he is a good person. Why don't you consider..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Qin immediately shook his head.

"We're not a good fit."

Lin Xingran felt a little sorry, but didn't continue to persuade her.

The two chatted for a while, and just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by a voice.

"Miss, where is Box 5?"

A hoarse male voice sounded lowly.

Even though the weather was very hot, he wore a black coat that covered himself tightly.

Lin Xingran was stunned for two seconds, then pointed to the nine o'clock direction and said, "Just go straight and turn a corner and you'll be there."

"Thank you." The tall man said in a low voice.
