BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2159 - 2159 Twins
“Weiyang, today is a good day for Jierou. Since you’re back, I’ll take it that you’re here to congratulate your sister. Our family can have a peaceful meal together. If you’re here to do something else…” Old Madam Qiao glanced at Qiao Weiyang, then at Li Liangting. “Then you’d better leave as soon as possible.”
Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “I’m here to talk about something else.”
“Then send the guests off!” Old Madam Qiao said angrily.
“Are you really going to chase me away? Aren’t you afraid you’ll regret it?” Qiao Weiyang turned around and was really about to leave.
Ever since Qiao Weiyang appeared, Qiao Jierou’s heart had been beating like a drum. She had a bad feeling, but she didn’t know why.
Seeing that Qiao Weiyang was really leaving, she felt a little guilty and stopped her. “Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell us. Grandma, Sister is a guest. No matter what she wants to say, let her finish. If it’s really meaningless, we won’t listen.”
She really wanted to know what Qiao Weiyang was up to.
Only by knowing Qiao Weiyang’s thoughts could she have a strategy to deal with it.
Seeing that she was reasonable and did not mind Qiao Weiyang’s arrival at all, Old Madam Qiao liked Qiao Jierou even more.
It would be great if every child in this family was as sensible as Qiao Jierou.
“Since your sister has put in a good word for you, Weiyang, tell me why you’re here today.” Old Madam Qiao gave Qiao Jierou some face before giving Qiao Weiyang a good attitude.
Qiao Weiyang turned around and said calmly, “I heard that the fabric used to make the clothes you’re releasing today was patented by Li Liangting. I came today to ask you for the patent fee.”
Old Madam Qiao was so angry that she laughed. “Hahaha, I was wondering what it was about. Weiyang, do you know what you’re talking about? Does the patent belong to Li Liangting? She has resigned. What patent does she have?”
Qiao Jierou couldn’t help but say, “Sister, you’re mistaken. Our fabric patent belongs to Xu Changfeng. It has nothing to do with Li Liangting. You can’t force her to stand up for you just because you have a good relationship with Li Liangting, right?”
“Okay, since you said that the patent is Xu Changfeng’s, what about your patent application?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“Weiyang!” Lin Heng felt that she was too aggressive. She actually came to cause trouble for her family for a former colleague.
“You have no right to talk to me here!” Qiao Weiyang didn’t even look at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng’s face was flushed. “I’m Jierou’s fiancé, so I naturally have the right to speak up. You’re really going too far by being so aggressive. It’s only because Jierou has a good temper that she doesn’t hold these things against you. But you can’t push your luck because of this!”
Qiao Weiyang still did not look at him. Instead, she stared at Qiao Jierou. “So, where’s your patent?”
Lin Heng said a lot of things but was completely ignored. It was as if he had gathered his strength only to punch the air in the end. He was vexed and angry.
Qiao Jierou became even gentler, appearing more pitiful. “Sister, we’re already in the process of applying for the patent. President Xu will get the patent certificate today.”
“Why not? After all, we have President Xu’s personal authorization. You know as well that it takes time to apply for a patent. It’s impossible to wait for the application to be completed before producing the clothes. It’s fine as long as we get the patent in the end. As for the timeline, there’s no need to worry,” Qiao Jierou explained gently.
Old Madam Qiao and Huang Shumin kept nodding. They were at ease with Qiao Jierou’s work.
“Nonsense! It clearly belongs to me!” Li Liangting reprimanded loudly. “I gave it to you, but you didn’t pay for it and took it for yourself. Now, you’re even saying that it belongs to you. You’re shamelessly boasting!”
Qiao Jierou said gently, “Assistant Li, your words are very meaningless. Of course, it belongs to whoever patented the technology. How can you say empty words like that?”
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Weiyang, leave! Today is a good day, and I don’t want to be angry! On account of Jierou, I won’t blame you! But this isn’t a place for you to stay,” Old Madam Qiao said.
Someone was about to ask Qiao Weiyang and Li Liangting to leave.
At this moment, Xu Changfeng rushed in.
When he saw Qiao Weiyang, there was obvious surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
Seeing him walk over, Qiao Jierou smiled and said, “President Xu, you’re here. Show Sister the patent certificate you got today, or she won’t give up.”
Li Liangting glared at Xu Changfeng with hatred.
Xu Changfeng said to Qiao Jierou in a low voice, “President Qiao, the patent wasn’t approved.”
“What? Was it delayed?” Qiao Jierou was a little surprised, but she did not panic at all.
It was normal for things to be delayed, and it was not a big problem.
“No… Someone applied for this patent two years ago, and it’s already on file. Our patent has been revoked.”
After Xu Changfeng finished speaking, Qiao Jierou was dumbfounded and looked at him. “What do you mean?”
“This fabric has long been filed for a patent. Ours has been revoked.” Li Liangting was the one who prepared the information Xu Changfeng used to apply.
He also had inside connections, and they promised to do a good job for him.
However, he did not expect that the patent had already been filed two years ago.
Old Madam Qiao also heard his words. “Nonsense. When did this happen?”
“Two years ago,” Xu Changfeng had no choice but to say.
“Two years ago, the fabric wasn’t even developed successfully. How could anyone apply for a patent?” Old Madam Qiao didn’t believe it.
However, Qiao Jierou’s expression had already changed visibly.
There was a faint smile on Qiao Weiyang’s lips as she glanced at her.
With this glance, Qiao Jierou’s heart was wrapped in coldness. The bad feeling in her heart gradually grew stronger.
“This fabric was developed by Li Liangting two years ago. But I didn’t think I needed it for the time being, so I didn’t use it. However, I took her information to apply for a patent under her own name.”
