Qiu Qianyu's heart was filled with conflict.
On one hand, the thought of divorce constantly occupied her mind.
On the other hand, Jiang Chuan's actions, like a silent spring rain, gently nourished her lonely and helpless heart.
In fact, she was not even aware that the fortress of her heart was no longer as tightly shut as before.
"Let's go back first, it's getting a bit chilly."
Jiang Chuan's gentle voice ca again. Qiu Qianyu responded with a nod and then turned around, walking side by side with Jiang Chuan towards the company.
Just as Qiu Qianyu returned to her office, her phone suddenly rang.
Qiu Qianyu picked up the phone, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, because the call was unexpectedly from Qiushi.
Although she didn't want to answer, Qiu Qianyu still took the call.
"Qiu Qianyu, you shouldn't have forgotten what day it is tomorrow, right?" Qiushi's voice sounded on the phone.
"Tomorrow?"
Qiu Qianyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; she had indeed forgotten. What day was tomorrow?
"Qiu Qianyu, grandma wasn't wrong in saying that your wings have truly hardened, not even considering the Qiu Family anymore."
"It's such an important day for the family, and you actually forgot. Qiu Qianyu, have you beco too complacent?"
Although Qiushi was younger than Qiu Qianyu, he was not shy about reproaching her.
Hearing Qiushi's words, Qiu Qianyu rembered what tomorrow was.
She hurriedly explained, "Qiushi, don't misunderstand, it's not like that. These days, the company has been busy preparing for the new product launch event. You know that the series of products from the new regulations have been very successful..."
"Qiu Qianyu, again showing off your little skills, aren't you?"
Qiushi sneered coldly, snidely saying, "No matter how capable you are or how well you do, so what?"
"Don't forget, you're a woman, and the Qiu Family's estate will never fall into the hands of a woman. I am the only rightful heir to the future of the Qiu Family's business!"
"Tomorrow, you'd better be on ti, because if you're late, grandma's anger is not sothing you can bear!"
"Oh, by the way, let remind you, there's a good show to watch at tomorrow's family gathering! Hahaha!"
After laughing a few tis, Qiushi rudely hung up the phone.
Qiu Qianyu's mood darkened significantly.
For many years, she had worked diligently for the company, toiling hard.
However, she was also acutely aware that she was rely a tool being used by the family.
No matter how well she perford, she was only making bridal gowns for others.
Qiushi's words were true; she was a woman, the family heir could never be her, only Qiushi.
Thinking of her father's last request before he left, he begged her to contribute to the family, even if everyone was unkind to her, for she was still a part of the Qiu Family.
As a descendant of the Qiu Family, she had to live up to the Qiu Family na.
Tomorrow's family day, what important matters will be discussed? What could it be?
Could they be planning to publicly strip of my position as the president of Qiuyun Company?
That's impossible!
Qiu Qianyu clenched her fists tightly, and a hint of tenacity appeared on her charming face.
This woman has her own stubbornness, and no one should try to force her to do what she doesn't want to.
"Have a cup of coffee. Even if you're going to fight, you need to gather your strength first."
A steaming cup of coffee was placed in front of her, thoughtfully sweetened with sugar, and it was her favorite, black sugar.
Qiu Qianyu looked up, eting Jiang Chuan's deep-set gaze.
A ripple stirred within Qiu Qianyu's heart, and she softly asked, "How did you know I like black sugar?"
"I guessed. Do you believe in telepathy?" Jiang Chuan queried.
"How boring, always talking about such intangible things. Could you please be more practical?"
Qiu Qianyu gave Jiang Chuan a side glance, her beautiful eyes brimming with vitality.
"Practically speaking, I've gotten to know you," Jiang Chuan sipped his coffee lightly, smiling as he spoke.
"You know ?"
Indeed, Jiang Chuan's words piqued Qiu Qianyu's curiosity. She lifted her eyes, speaking with a hint of anticipation, "Then co with to the family day tomorrow, will you?"
"Oh? Why?"
"Why so many questions? Just co along!" Qiu Qianyu insisted without a doubt.
"Alright!" Jiang Chuan nodded without further comnt.
Gazing at Jiang Chuan's handso, chiseled face, a peculiar thought suddenly crossed Qiu Qianyu's mind.
Actually, being with Jiang Chuan feels quite nice.
As soon as this thought erged, Qiu Qianyu was startled by her own thinking.
How could I think like this when I'm supposed to divorce him?
