At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 157 I'm serious, I'm not joking.

He Qiaoyun was envious of what he said.

Back then, she wanted to buy land and build a house, but she didn't have enough savings, and she also had to take care of her child and didn't have the energy. Her parents and Xu Hui's parents both disagreed with her making such a fuss, so she put it on hold.

"What a pity." She couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Biao quickly said, "You still have a few buildings left. Do you want them? I'll give you two."

He Qiaoyun laughed in exasperation, "Are you crazy? This is a house, not cookies or candy. You make it sound so easy."

Liu Biao, however, didn't seem to care at all. "Why can't I give this away? Do you want it or not? We can go and transfer the ownership after we finish eating."

He Qiaoyun was startled by his serious tone. "No need, you should keep it for yourself."

Liu Biao slowly stopped at the red light, turned his head to look into her eyes, and said with a serious expression, "I'm serious, I'm not joking with you."

He Qiaoyun replied earnestly, "I know, but I don't need money right now. When I really have trouble, I won't hold back."

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Okay."

He then started the car and slowly drove through the green light.

After a moment of silence, Liu Biao suddenly asked, "How have you been all these years?"

He Qiaoyun gave a helpless laugh, "I died and came back to life, I got divorced, and now I'm doing pretty well."

Liu Biao tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said through gritted teeth, "Xu Hui is really a scoundrel."

During the days he was out, he heard a lot of rumors, each one more outlandish than the last, saying that she had died and come back to life, or that she was possessed by a monster. Of course, he didn't believe them, but hearing them from her own ears left him with mixed feelings.

He Qiaoyun turned to look at him and teased, "I thought you would side with him."

In this world, men are always more understanding of other men.

Liu Biao said, "How could that be? If I had found out he was such a scoundrel back then, he would have been the first person I beat up."

He Qiaoyun smiled gently, "I don't know what to say, thank you."

A short while later, the car stopped at a Sichuan restaurant near the hospital.

After parking the car, the two got out. Liu Biao glanced at the impressive hospital across the street and couldn't help but exclaim, "My goddaughter is so successful; she's become a doctor at this hospital."

He Qiaoyun smiled modestly, "It's so-so."

Liu Biao clicked his tongue twice. "I saw that kid yesterday. He was so thin and frail. It's a good thing he's divorced. He's too weak to handle family responsibilities."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said nothing more.

The two entered the restaurant and sat down. He Qiaoyun handed him the menu, saying, "Let's order. Thank you for helping her get a divorce yesterday and freeing her from her suffering."

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, she's my goddaughter."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "It was worth it to have such a godfather."

At this moment.

A black Maybach slowly pulled up outside the restaurant. The assistant got out of the passenger seat and opened the back door. "Chairman, please."

Feng Jiashu got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and said to his assistant, "I can go in by myself. You and the driver can go and rest first."

The assistant looked hesitant. "Chairman, are you sure you want to eat here? I remember you can't handle spicy food very well. Even if this Sichuan restaurant isn't authentic, the amount of chili peppers they use exceeds..." your acceptable range.

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Jiashu waved his hand to interrupt, "It's nothing."

He just wanted to try the restaurant that He Qiaoyun had eaten at.

Seeing that he was determined to eat, the assistant didn't want to stop him anymore. "Then, I'll wait for you outside."

"Ah."

Feng Jiashu entered the restaurant, and a waiter greeted him, "Sir, are you alone?"

"Yes, alone."

"Okay, please come this way."

The waiter led him into the dining hall, and suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes landing sharply on a table in a corner.

He Qiaoyun was having a meal, chatting and laughing with a man.

The waiter, noticing he hadn't followed, asked in confusion, "Sir?"

At that moment, He Qiaoyun subconsciously looked up and met Feng Jiashu's eyes.

After a half-second eye contact, she quickly looked away, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of lemon tea.

Sitting opposite her, Liu Biao was puzzled. He turned his head and glanced in the direction she was looking. He saw a man in a suit and tie, meticulous and out of place with his surroundings.

The two seemed to sense something, stared at each other for three seconds, and then looked away.

Liu Biao asked He Qiaoyun, "Do you know that man?"

He Qiaoyun's eyes darted around, but out of the corner of her eye she caught Feng Jiashu walking towards them step by step.

Liu Biao received no answer, then turned to see Feng Jiashu standing at the table, lightly tapping his fingers on the surface, and said, "Qiaoyun, I didn't expect to see you here..."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted and landed on Liu Biao, asking, "And who is this?"

He Qiaoyun looked up at him, somewhat at a loss, "He...."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao almost questioned, "Qiaoyun, and who is he?"

He Qiaoyun forced an awkward smile, "He..."

This is the first time I've experienced what it means to be torn between two men.

Feng Jiashu sized up Liu Biao, while Liu Biao sized him up with disdain in his eyes.

He Qiaoyun held the teacup and first introduced Liu Biao, "This is Feng Jiashu," and then said to Feng Jiashu, "This is Liu Biao, my friend."

Seeing that he had an extra suffix compared to him, Liu Biao immediately smiled and extended his hand to him, "Mr. Feng, hello."

Feng Jiashu glanced at He Qiaoyun, then shook hands with Liu Biao with a forced smile, "Mr. Liu, hello."

Liu Biao was strong and tried to pinch Feng Jiashu's hand, but he didn't expect Feng Jiashu to be just as strong. A handshake made the two of them stand still for a long time.

Until Feng Jiashu let go, Liu Biao also wisely let go.

Feng Jiashu ignored Liu Biao and instead pulled out a chair to sit down. He said to He Qiaoyun, "I saw on your WeChat Moments yesterday that this restaurant is very spicy. I was passing by today, so I thought I'd come in and try it."

He had already sat down, so it wasn't appropriate to send him away. He Qiaoyun smiled and exchanged pleasantries: "I haven't seen Liu Biao in a long time. He said he wanted to try this restaurant, so I came over."

When Liu Biao heard her mention him, he cleared his throat twice, straightened his back, and said in a boastful tone, "Qiaoyun and I have known each other since we were twenty."

He Qiaoyun nodded gently, "Yes, Liu Biao and I are old friends."

Men's intuition is not dull; in fact, it can be said to be quite sharp. Feng Jiashu sensed a strong sense of exclusion from Liu Biao, a feeling that comes from the male peers.

Feng Jiashu maintained his calm smile, "Then have I disturbed your reunion?"

Immediately afterwards, the two spoke at the same time.

He Qiaoyun: "No."

Liu Biao: "Yes."

He Qiaoyun was being polite, but Liu Biao was very impolite and harbored deep hostility towards Feng Jiashu. If He Qiaoyun hadn't been there, he probably would have shoved him.

For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.
