After half the night of trouble, the family was tired.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law came all the way here. It must be hard on you. Why don't you stay at our house tonight?"

Lin Fang hurriedly said, "That's great, that's great! We were already tired and tired, so we were already tired."

Then he immediately went upstairs.

Qiao Qiming said, "Ah Fang, don't go upstairs first, you haven't asked An An which room we should be staying in!"

Lin Fang said, "This is my daughter's home, where I live?!"

Qiao Ruoan did not move, he just sat and ate the fruits, "Xiao Ling, I want to eat strawberries."

"I have it in the fridge, I'll go wash it for you right now!"

"No, I want something fresh."

Xiao Ling looked at the needle on the number twelve, "An An, it's almost midnight, where do you want me to go to buy strawberries?"

Qiao Ruoan said, "I don't care, I just want to eat!"

Xiao Ling glanced at the stairs, if he did not go, then this matter would become what it was just before: "An An, I will go right now."

Xiao Ling drove into the pitch black night, and occasionally raised his head to look at himself in the mirror. He frowned, and his face was filled with worry, "Xiao Ling, oh Xiao Ling, how did you end up like this? You have to look at your father and brother's faces everywhere at work, and now you have to look at a woman's face."

After driving around for a long time, he finally found a fruit store that was open for business 24 hours a day. "Boss, give me some strawberries."

"No strawberries, sir. Would you like to buy something else?"

Looking at the boss's face, Xiao Ling really wanted to slap him. There was clearly an important meeting tomorrow, but he had to run outside to buy strawberries for Qiao Ruoan.

"I don't care. Don't you know any other vendors? "Immediately contact me. I'll give you whatever you want."

"Sir, where do you want me to find the seller of strawberries in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Ling opened his purse and took out a few hundred strong bills, "Hurry up, don't let me talk about this again."

The owner picked up the phone on the table and said, "Then let me ask for you."

Most of the calls were answered, but no one answered. Even the people who answered were full of insults and insults.

"Sir, look, it's not that I'm not helping you, but no one is selling strawberries this late at night."

Xiao Ling was flustered and exasperated, "Tomorrow, I will smash your shop into pieces!"

As he said that, he rushed out of the fruit shop and drove away. After circling around the city, he finally remembered that there might be a hotel.

In the morning, Xiao Ling rushed into a hotel, "Do you have any strawberries here?"

"Sir, do you live here?"

"I'm asking you a question! Do you have any strawberries? "

"Yes."

"Sell it to me!"

"What?" The hotel staff also found this absurd. "If our hotel sells strawberries, how would we be able to do business?"

"Then I'll get a room and ask for a plate of strawberries, okay?"

"Sure!"

Xiao Ling's head hurt. It was already absurd for him to come out to buy strawberries at night, but now he still had to open a room to get them.

After receiving it, Xiao Ling immediately returned home.

He did not see the anticipated scene. Instead, it was pitch black with the door tightly closed. Qiao Ruoan was already fast asleep on the bed.

Xiao Ling walked to Qiao Ruoan's side and said softly, "An An, I've bought the strawberries, they are very fresh."

"I'm sleeping! Are you blind? You didn't know I couldn't sleep well when I was pregnant! "

Xiao Ling's expression turned cold, he awkwardly carried his hard-earned strawberry, and really wanted to throw it onto the ground, but right now his power was low, if he did not firmly coil the Qiao Family, then he would never have the chance to turn the situation around.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Ling carried the strawberry all by himself and walked to the empty first floor. He opened the fridge.

With such a huge house, with an empty street, there was actually not a single place Xiao Ling could stop at.

As if it was late at night, he sat on the sofa and cried while laughing.

He thought back to when he had just entered society, and always felt that if he had worked hard, he would have gotten everything. In fact, the reality was too cruel, not only was success or failure determined by hard work, it was also greatly related to this damned identity. Xiao Ling, who was living at the bottom level, was like a crab in a pot.

He hated Xiao Zhentian, but he was more grateful to him. It was him, who brought Xiao Ling, who was struggling in the muddy water, to a new world — upper class society, allowing him to see how many people in this world could live lives with ease. They had the most respected status, so if they were to walk on the streets, others would only treat him with respect.

This was something that Xiao Ling had never seen before.

In order to become one of them, he had persisted, resisting his father's doubts and his brother's contempt.

"But what did you get in return?" Xiao Ling muttered to himself, "If Xiao Family only had me as a child, then everything wouldn't have been so difficult."

If Xiao Ling wanted to eat the huge cake called Xiao Family, he had to be stronger than his brother.

Xiao Ling who had made up his mind immediately stood up, "Since the Qiao Family has already been pacified, I have other things to do."

He rushed to the hospital and asked, "May I ask if you have treated a patient called Xiao Zhentian in the afternoon?"

"Yes, are you a family member?"

Xiao Ling nodded, "I'm here to accompany you, please tell me the ward's number."

After the nurse checked, Xiao Ling went to Xiao Zhentian's ward. As expected, the room was empty except for the sound of the machine and Xiao Zhentian's breathing.

Xiao Ling sat at the side, "Xiao Yi, it's a good thing that you didn't stop me this time."

This had always been a habit of his. After working for a long time, his habits had also become terrifyingly firm, and he vaguely saw a person sitting on the side of the bed. "Xiao Yi?"

"Father, you're awake? I am Xiao Ling. "

Xiao Zhentian looked carefully, and the anticipation in his eyes dimmed, "Why are you here?"

"Father," Xiao Ling said as he knelt on the cold tiled floor of the hospital, "Everything was my fault. I will hold a press conference today to apologize for my previous ridiculous mistake, it will definitely not affect our family's company."

Xiao Zhentian snorted, "Even you are anxious for your company, if Ann's wants to make a move, forget about Qiao Family, even I, Xiao Zhentian will not be able to protect you, you better take care of yourself!"

"Father, I know!" Xiao Ling stood up, holding onto his forehead, his body was unsteady.

Xiao Zhentian looked at Xiao Ling and asked, "You, what's wrong?"

"Father, I'm fine!"

Xiao Zhentian looked around, he was in a rush and couldn't find any good ward. This single room was already difficult to obtain, the room was very narrow, it could barely fit a single bed and a chair, Xiao Ling must have sat on this chair for an entire night, "Xiao Ling, your filial father knows about this, you better apologize, as long as the company is fine, I will immediately agree to your wedding."

Xiao Ling was overjoyed, "Really? Father?"

"Really, we must prepare properly. We must not let the Ann's point the gun at us."

"Father, I will definitely be prepared."

When he left the hospital, Xiao Ling's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was in a mess, and the dark circles around his eyes were almost etched into lines. He started the car, looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled. "Looks like a torture method is the best!"

As long as he could redeem his image in his father's heart, apologizing would be the easiest thing to do.

When Xiao Ling returned to the company, he instructed his subordinates to help him prepare for the press conference. However, the entire office was filled with fresh faces, with a mocking smirk on their faces.

Xiao Ling could not help but ask, "Where did you transfer them from? Where did all the employees go? "

"Director Xiao said that the original department wasn't in a good mood, so he transferred us over from the logistics department."

Xiao Ling was so angry that he almost fainted. This time, Xiao Yi was determined to show him who was boss of the sales department and he even changed his staff. Wasn't this clearly making things difficult for Xiao Ling? Xiao Ling did not expect him to be so quick, to actually fire his former employees in one night.

But Xiao Ling was not angry, if he used this matter well, it would definitely become a powerful opportunity to take Xiao Yi down.

"Since you guys are from the logistics, then I believe you must have handled this matter well. The old Director Xiao had also warned me earlier to handle it well and not lose face for the Shaw's."

When they heard Xiao Ling's words, they looked at each other, "We understand."

Xiao Ling stood where he was and watched as the crowd left. He felt extremely refreshed in his heart, "I knew that it would definitely be useful to bring out my father."

This time, Xiao Yi wanted to take the chance from his father to show off his might to Xiao Ling. He did not expect Xiao Ling to be so arrogant as to go to the hospital to stand guard.

Looking at the busy crowd, Xiao Ling was still a little upset. They were clearly Xiao Zhentian's sons, yet Xiao Yi was in charge of the company's life and death authority, while Xiao Ling was the fish in a fish on the chopping block.

He picked up his cell phone and said in his old office group, "It's not legal for you guys to be fired. Go back and see the labor contract. I'm your boss, so I'll definitely seek justice for you."

The dead group chat seemed to have come alive, "Boss, are you alright!? "You scared us so much that we suddenly said we were going to fire him in the middle of the night."

"But boss, we are powerless, it is good that you still think about us, we all have families, if Xiao Yi makes this big, I'm afraid his wife will leave."

"That's right, we don't have that kind of good fortune. Did sister-in-law forgive you?"

Xiao Ling replied with a short "Mmm".

Xiao Yi, that slut, threatened us, if we did not take the initiative to leave, we would be fired, and even said that it might cause trouble for the entire world, we also want face, we will take the Director Xiao's good intentions, but we also said that there should not be a follow-up to this matter, so as to not cause trouble, we are still young, and can find a new job.

Xiao Ling held onto the phone with a trembling hand, "Xiao Yi, are you that anxious to kill me? You won't even spare my men! In the past, I respected you as my half-brother, but now, it seems that I do not need to continue to be courteous with your brothers and sisters anymore.

Looking at the intersection that was in the process of being completed, Xiao Ling clenched his fists and said, "Once this matter is over, I'll let you have a taste of what actually happened to offend me, Xiao Ling!"
