you are my joy

"Hello, hello." Qiao Zhiqin ran to the living room to answer the phone.

"Is it Miss Qiao Zhiqin Qiao?"

There was a calm and low voice from the other end of the phone.

Qiao Zhiqin paused for a moment, and said seriously:
"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Yan Chenyu's father. I don't know if Ms. Qiao is inconvenient right now. I would like to treat Ms. Qiao to a cup of tea."

Father Yan's attitude was polite and courteous, but his deep voice did not lack the powerful aura of a superior.

Qiao Zhiqin's heart beat violently, and her fingers curled up nervously.

"You tell me the address, and I'll be there in about half an hour."

Father Yan reported the address, and then spoke slowly.

"Then I'll wait for Ms. Qiao. I hope Ms. Qiao will be smarter. There are some things, as long as you and I know."

The deep voice seemed calm, but it was full of warning.

The phone was hung up, and Qiao Zhiqin stood there holding the phone in a daze.

Xia Ruirui sensed that her mood was not right, and walked out of the bedroom.

"What's the matter? Why is your expression so solemn?"

Qiao Zhiqin came back to her senses and turned her head to look at her.

"Did you know that the Yan family was looking for me?"

Xia Ruirui shrugged innocently.

"I don't know, but your appearance disrupted the Yan family's plan to marry the Xia family. Once the Yan family knows of your existence, they will look for you sooner or later."

As she spoke, she suddenly understood something, and glanced down at the phone in her hand.

"Is this call from the Yan family?"

Qiao Zhiqin nodded.

"Ah."

"So fast? Could it be that the Yan family has been sending people to keep an eye on Brother Chen Yu?"

Xia Ruirui murmured softly, with a nervous expression visible to the naked eye.

"Then the fact that I came to you will be exposed?"

Seeing that she was even more panicked than she was, Qiao Zhiqin couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why are you nervous, the person the Yan family is looking for is me."

Xia Ruirui cast a glance at her.

"You are stupid! I am the most suitable candidate for daughter-in-law in the eyes of the Yan family. As long as I talk to you, I might be able to eliminate the Yan family's prejudice against you, but if the Yan family knows that I have stood up for you from the very beginning. On your side, no matter what I say, it's useless."

The more Xia Ruirui thought about it, the more uneasy she became, "No, I have to follow you to find out the situation."

She said, and quickly ran back to the bathroom to wash up.

Qiao Zhiqin shook her head with a smile, and went back to her room to change.

Half an hour later, Qiao Zhiqin found the teahouse located in the alley.

The location of the teahouse is a little out of the way, but the decoration is particularly tasteful.

The wooden building has an ancient charm, the interior decoration is antique, and the fragrance of tea leaves wafts in the air, which instantly soothes Qiao Zhiqin's tension.

As soon as she entered, a gentle man in a suit and glasses stepped forward.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Zhiqin nodded.

"I'm."

"Mr. Yan is already waiting inside, I will take you there now."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The assistant made a gesture of invitation, glanced at the person in front of him calmly, and then walked in front to lead the way.

There are not many people in the teahouse, and the environment is not too noisy. The melodious tunes reverberate in the teahouse, which has a special taste.

The assistant led Qiao Zhiqin to the innermost booth of the teahouse. The bamboo curtain blocked the people inside, and only one figure could be vaguely seen.

The man quietly sips tea, his gestures are inherently noble and elegant.

The bamboo curtain was lifted, and the assistant signaled Qiao Zhiqin to come in.

Qiao Zhiqin secretly took a look at Yan's father before walking into the booth.

The man was dressed in a blue and black haute couture suit, with an imposing manner and a handsome face.

The eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yan Chenyu.

The only difference is the calm and introverted demeanor flowing between the man's eyebrows and eyes, which is quite different from Yan Chenyu's gentle and refined demeanor.

"Sir, Ms. Qiao is here." The assistant walked to Father Yan's side, bent slightly and reminded softly.

Father Yan put down the teacup slowly, raised his eyes and glanced in Qiao Zhiqin's direction, his lips slowly curled up in a small arc.

"sit!"

Qiao Zhiqin nodded as a greeting, took off her mask and hat and sat opposite Father Yan.

Father Yan glanced at her little face without makeup indifferently, and opened his mouth slowly.

"The place here is small and there are no private rooms, but I think this kind of booth is also good for privacy. You don't have to worry about being photographed, what do you think, Ms. Qiao?"

The seemingly friendly attitude concealed a bit of temptation, Qiao Zhiqin smiled faintly.

"Mr. Yan doesn't want other people to know about our meeting, and Mr. Yan probably doesn't want to be on the news with me, so I think the privacy here is higher than that of any restaurant."

Father Yan's expression paused for a moment when he heard the words, and he raised his eyes to take a deep look at her, a glint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, then he lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

"It doesn't seem too hard to guess."

Qiao Zhiqin didn't point out the reason that they all knew.

At this time, it seems boring to pick Ming.

Father Yan put down his teacup, and finally he was willing to look her in the eye.

"Would you like to make a deal with me?"

Qiao Zhiqin didn't answer, she quietly looked at the person opposite, and Father Yan continued:
"I can make your career in the entertainment industry flourish and go smoothly, but the premise is that you leave Chen Yu, break off with him, and never have any contact with him again."

Qiao Zhiqin's eyebrows moved slightly.

"You think I'm with him for fame and fortune?"

Father Yan didn't answer, took out a check from his pocket, and pushed it in front of her.

"This is a check, you can fill in as much as you want, but the premise is that Chen Yu must completely give up on you."

Qiao Zhiqin stared down at the check on the table for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Then how much do you think Yan Chenyu is worth?"

When Father Yan heard this, he took a deep look at her.

"If you are young, you should not have too much appetite, otherwise you will easily suffer the consequences."

Yan Chenyu is naturally worth more than the things he promised her.

Everything about the Yan family cannot be measured by money.

But it's impossible for these things to belong to anyone and Qiao Zhiqin. Being able to promise her benefits is already the greatest face he has given her.

Hearing the warning in his words, the curve of Qiao Zhiqin's lips widened a bit.

"According to you, you also feel that you can't buy Yan Chenyu with money, so I'm sorry, I don't agree to your conditions, and I won't make a deal with you."

The teacup was raised to his mouth and suddenly stopped. Father Yan put down the teacup, his brows and eyes darkened.

"I'll give you money, I might give you fame and fortune, I'll satisfy you with everything Yan Chenyu can give you, wait for the right opportunity to find a man to marry, wouldn't it be better than following him with no name or title?

Or do you want to follow him anonymously for the rest of your life?
As a public figure, have you not thought about yourself?If you are exposed to the news of meddling in other people's marriages, your career and reputation will be ruined. "

The seemingly caring words were actually lofty, falling into Qiao Zhiqin's ears, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Concerned about Father Yan's identity, Qiao Zhiqin deliberately ignored this trace of emotion.

"Since I choose to be with him, I won't follow him anonymously. He promised me that he would marry me, and I believe he will do it."
