My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One

Chapter 18 - ~Say Yess~



"Qiao Xin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fire you from the company at all. You know, we both raised the company. How could I--"

"Stop, if you came here to discuss such an insignificant matter," Qiao Xin said with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Are you in need of money?" Jia Ming asked again. Qiao Xin didn't even answer. "Has the severance pay from me been taken away by Jia Ming again?" asked Jia Ming then. And again, Qiao Xin didn't answer him at all. "Qiao Xin, if you need money, whatever it is. Tell me, I'll give you whatever you want,"

After saying that, Qiao Xin immediately grabbed her bag. Then she stood up and walked away, leaving her best friend.

Sick? Yes. Destroyed? Moreover. However, she seemed to have nothing but pride at the moment.

She did need a lot of money, so severely that she didn't know what else to do to get a large amount of money and in such a short time. However, she couldn't possibly lower her self-esteem after being treated inhumanely by her own best friend. Even though the world has rejected her, and only her best friend is willing to help her. Thus, Qiao Xin would choose to die rather than accept the help of her best friend.

Best friend? Is it still appropriate for her to call the traitor a friend? How could Qiao Xin still regard the traitor as a friend? At the time, she helped the company grow and develop by working hard. But just because of a business offer, then her friend was just pawned. This is crazy! Qiao Xin would never forget what happened now. And she began to understand that the man named Jia Ming was the most despicable man she had ever met. And unfortunately, she got to know two Jia Mings in her life.

Qiao Xin, looking up, could see the tiny black birds flying very beautifully, right under the very bright blue sky. Even the clouds seemed reluctant to disturb the beauty.

"Miss Liu," said a man wearing a black coat.

Qiao Xin looked startled, then she got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Her gaze was straight ahead because she didn't want to see her former best friend again. Yes, she has closed everything about her ex-best friend, even with her ex-boyfriend. Now she will focus on looking straight ahead, for Mom as well as her sister. She had no more time to cry, nor did she have any more time to grieve. She must immediately rise from this slump, then try again to find a loan wherever she is to get money to take her family's land certificate. The problem was, the house was the only one her family owned. If she mortgaged the house and he couldn't take it, her family would be homeless. Qiao Xin didn't want that to happen, so she had to do whatever it took to get the certificate back.

While on the other hand, Xiao Long seemed to be sitting quietly in his work chair. While looking at some of the files on the table, he appeared to be playing with a pen on his chin.

"Is this true according to the amount? If possible, give more for the next fee. At least, so that they don't starve to death, and don't pay for treatment. Or, tell the hospital. If the patient comes again, have all costs transferred to our company," Xiao Long said, giving a decision. Then he signed the document and handed it to his right hand.

"Very well, Young Mr Han. I will arrange everything as neat and clean as possible. So that no one will know about this," Zhang Tao replied.

Xiao Long just nodded his head, then he told Tao to leave, gesturing he moved his finger towards the outside of the room. After Tao left, Xiao Long fell silent again. He felt that whatever he was doing was a dead end. His grandfather had decided to change his will and removed him from the list of heirs to this company. And what hurts, even more, is that his grandfather has already looked for a replacement for managing the company. A dangerous thing. If he became unemployed and had no inheritance, what could Xiao Long do? He would be a useless tramp.

However, what worried Xiao Long, even more, was about his grandfather's fate. His health continued to decline right after his grandfather spoke to Qiao Xin and the woman flatly refused his grandfather's request. An annoying thing, but Xiao Long couldn't do much either.

Xiao Long tilted his face when his cellphone rang, and the name of the hospital where his grandfather was being treated appeared on his cellphone screen. Then, he picked up the phone. Before he could say anything, Xiao Long immediately stood up and ran out of his room.

*****

Qiao Xin seemed to be limping, and she didn't expect her life to be this chaotic. She started walking the halls of the hospital because she had to get back there. But her steps stopped, her eyes caught the medical experts running towards one room, and what Qiao Xin knew was if that room was Xiao Chuan's inpatient room. Qiao Xin's body shook violently. Her tears fell again, she immediately dropped her bag and several job application folders, and then she ran as hard as she could to the room. Qiao Xin approached one of the nurses who were there, and she looked panicked right now.

"Miss, what happened? Did something happen to the patient in there?" Qiao Xin asked with her body already shaking violently.

"Miss, the patient inside is critical, and his chances of survival are very slim. His illness is already severe. The only hope is that he can spend as much time as possible feeling what he wants while still being breathed. " answered the nurse. Qiao Xin looked shocked, and she then remembered how she became mean by refusing Xiao Chuan's last request. Qiao Xin was crying hysterically again, and she saw many medical experts treat Xiao Chuan. She could only hope that Xiao Long's Grandfather could be given a chance to live longer.

Hearing this, Qiao Xin was even more hurt. She felt that if her best friend came to see her, it was not sincere at all. How come her best friend only appreciates it only because of money? Does she not mean in the eyes of her friend?

Qiao Xin seemed to smile bitterly, and then she stood up. Tears rolled down her cheeks again.

"Sorry Sir, Zhou. I don't want to accept any money from you!"
