Neither of them said anything for a long time. When Mu Rann saw that Jiang Xiying still had such a firm attitude and had no intention of helping him, he could only grit his teeth and use his trump card as a threat.
Mu Rann knew in her heart that Qiao Zhe still did not know that Jiang Xiying had secretly given birth to his child for him. Furthermore, Jiang Xiying had been hiding it from him, and had no intention of telling Qiao Zhe. At this time, if he used the child as a threat, Jiang Xiying would agree no matter what.
"If you insist on not helping me, then I can only tell Qiao Zhe that when we separated back then, you were actually pregnant with his child and now you even gave birth to it." Mu Rann approached Jiang Xiying and placed her hand under Jiang Xiying's chin as she spoke.
"You! How dare you threaten me with a child! You're forcing me to agree!" Jiang Xiying struggled and blurted out, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I'm despicable? You forced me to do this first. Why didn't you agree earlier? What you have to do is simple. As long as you ask Qiao Zhe to let my company go, I promise you that I will never tell anyone about the child. Of course, I don't care how you do it, but if you can't... You know what I mean! " When Mu Rann saw that Jiang Xiying had agreed, she quickly negotiated with her. This was a dead end. No matter what, Jiang Xiying had to do it.
Jiang Xiying had long guessed that Mu Rann was unreliable, but she did not expect Mu Rann to be so ruthless, bringing up the child all of a sudden. She thought that if the child fell into Mu Rann's hands, sooner or later he would cause trouble. She was afraid that in the future, he would go back on his word and use the child as a threat again. For now, she could only take it one step at a time.
In order not to let Qiao Zhe know that the child was his, she had no choice but to agree to Mu Rann's request and ask her to give her a few more days.
Mu Rann thought that although Qiao Zhe seemed to be a cold and arrogant person, no matter what, he had some friendship with Jiang Xiying in the past, so she finally decided to give her only three days. Jiang Xiying felt that time was tight, but she had no choice but to agree first.
Since Jiang Xiying had not contacted Qiao Zhe for a long time, she had blacklisted his contact number in order to forget about Qiao Zhe more quickly.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Jiang Xiying personally went to Qiao Zhe's company the next day and decided to talk to Qiao Zhe privately.
Soon, they arrived at the Qiao's Group. Jiang Xiying lingered at the entrance of the company for a long time, her heart in turmoil. Although she had promised Mu Rann, she still did not want to see Qiao Zhe. Finally, for the sake of her child, she finally mustered up the courage to walk forward. She let out a long sigh and walked into the Qiao's Group with heavy steps.
The employees of the Qiao's Group were not familiar with her yet, and since she was not wearing a uniform, they knew that she was not one of them. They walked up to her and asked, "Miss, why have you come to our company?"
"Nothing much. I'm here to see Qiao Zhe. Can you tell me where he is?" Jiang Xiying asked the company employee.
"So Miss is here to look for him? Our president is very busy at the moment, and there are so many things for him to attend to, big and small, that I don't think he will have the time for them yet. In fact, if the young lady has any urgent business with him, I can give him a message." The employee was very enthusiastic, but because of the importance of the matter, Jiang Xiying could not ask anyone else to tell him.
Jiang Xiying was stammering on the side. The employee seemed to have noticed that Jiang Xiying didn't want her to help pass on the message, so he said first, "It's fine, Miss. If it's not convenient, you can wait backstage. I'll go and get you a glass of water right now." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The employees knew that most of the people who could find Qiao Zhe were big shots. It would be even better if they could use this to build a relationship and promote her or something. Therefore, the employees took good care of Jiang Xiying.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiying did not even eat lunch because she was afraid that she would miss Qiao Zhe. She sat at the side of the backstage and her eyelids gradually drooped down. Obviously, she did not sleep well last night. Perhaps the matter of finding Qiao Zhe made her think for a long time last night. She yawned again and again, rubbing her eyes to remind herself not to fall asleep.
When she saw that it was time for the employees to get off work, she had not waited for Qiao Zhe. Seeing that the three-day deadline Mu Rann had given her was about to be reduced by one day, she got up and was about to leave in disappointment.
As soon as Qiao Zhe stepped out of the elevator, Jiang Xiying's figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. He was afraid that he had been working too much and was seeing things. He could not help but take a few more glances before confirming that it was Jiang Xiying. He was puzzled as to why he would bump into Jiang Xiying at the company. Quietly, he walked less than five meters away from Jiang Xiying and called out, "Jiang Xiying, what are you doing here?!"
When Jiang Xiying heard the familiar voice, her heart started to beat faster. She quickly turned around and saw that it was really Qiao Zhe. She instantly perked up and claimed that she had something to talk to Qiao Zhe about.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Come, let me take you to dinner!" Qiao Zhe was concerned about Jiang Xiying and decided to take her to dinner. Jiang Xiying touched her stomach and felt a little hungry. After waiting for Qiao Zhe for a day, she almost lost her sense of taste. She quickly followed Qiao Zhe to the restaurant.
Jiang Xiying and Qiao Zhe felt uncomfortable in the same room. They lowered their heads and ate the food on their plates, thinking about how to talk to him without provoking him.
She had come to him because she thought they would sit down and talk things over, but he had brought her to dinner.
Besides, if they were going to eat, they were going to eat. Why did they make the atmosphere so intense? She was only one person away from him, and the table was very small.
Jiang Xiying's sitting posture was very well-behaved. She did not dare to move her hands and feet lightly. The distance between the two of them was too close. She was afraid that if she moved, she would touch his body.
Feeling the burning gaze coming from above her head, she lowered her head and did not dare to look to the side. Her hand, which was holding the cutlery, was also trembling slightly.
Qiao Zhe's gaze had not left her since she sat down. A teasing feeling flashed in his heart. It was obvious that Jiang Xiying had come to find him for a purpose. Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to approach him and would have preferred to stay far away from him.
He did not speak after he had ordered his meal. He had arranged the restaurant, and he had asked for the atmosphere. He wanted her to speak first, so that he could have the initiative.
He had a faint smile on his face. The pressure on Jiang Xiying was even greater, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Qiao Zhe, can you let Mu Rann's company go?" Putting down the cutlery, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Her voice was a little soft, but Qiao Zhe still heard it word for word. But in his ears, his face darkened and the gaze he used to look at her turned colder.
"You're begging me?" He said this in a teasing tone, sneering in his heart. So this was her purpose, to plead with another man to let Mu Rann's company go?
"Qiao Zhe, I beg you to let Mu Rann's company go." Although she felt her pride being trampled, she had no choice but to protect her child.
Seeing that she had already lowered her body to beg him, Qiao Zhe could not be happy. Was she willing to throw away the dignity she was so proud of for that man?
He snorted. Now that he had reached the point of begging, it wouldn't be too much to ask for something. He had thought of a better way. He wanted to see how she would lose her dignity without Mu Rann.
