House arrest
He Shaochen came out of the Xu family, completely exhausted.
He got into the car and was about to ask the driver to drive off when Xu Xiaoxuan ran out of the yard and blocked the car. "Wait, are you leaving just like that?"
The driver was about to step on the gas pedal, but Xu Xiaoxuan's words scared him out of his wits.
Xu Xiaoxuan didn't care about that. She walked to the side of the car with a smile, leaned against the window, and said to He Shaochen in the car, "Since you dare to mess with me, you should be mentally prepared."
Her eyes were still a little red because she had been crying for too long, even though it was mostly an act.
He Shaochen coldly glanced at her and said, "Boring."
Just because she couldn't take it anymore, she would rather disturb the whole family and make a fuss with him just to make him suffer. To be honest, He Shaochen didn't have a good impression of this type of person.
Xu Xiaoxuan's face fell when she heard what he said. She gritted her teeth and said, "Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened just now? He Shaochen, do you want to die? "
Wasn't she just unhappy that he had left her on the road?
She thought that with her grandfather's pressure, this person's attitude would be a little more restrained, but she didn't expect that he was still so bad. She was really angry.
"Xu Xiaoxuan, don't think that you can use your grandfather to pressure me every time. I'm not here because I'm afraid of your family. I just don't want to embarrass Elder Xu. So, don't challenge my bottom line again."
After He Shaochen finished speaking, he instructed the driver to drive off.
However, Xu Xiaoxuan seemed to be angry. She grabbed the door handle and refused to let the car go.
"He Shaochen, I dare you to say that again!"
The driver looked back awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
"Let go."
He Shaochen was getting impatient. He glanced at Xu Xiaoxuan coldly. His gaze was so cold that it seemed to be filled with ice and snow. Xu Xiaoxuan couldn't help but tremble. She let go, and the car drove off.
Xu Xiaoxuan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Her eyes were red as she watched the car leave. She couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
…
"Xiaoxuan, do you like Shaochen?"
In the lobby, the Xu family's precious daughter, Elder Xu solemnly asked Xu Xiaoxuan, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, sobbing.
Xu Xiaoxuan raised her head abruptly and looked at her grandfather, who was trying to matchmake her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who likes him? It's all Grandpa's fault. If you didn't insist on pairing me with that bastard, I wouldn't have been humiliated by him! "
"What? He Shaochen humiliated you? " Elder Xu's voice sank, and he immediately turned hostile. His hawk-like eyes emitted a sharp cold light. "How dare he humiliate the beloved daughter of our Xu Family? That brat is really arrogant! Does he really think that the Xu family is afraid of Family He? "
Xu Xiaoxuan wiped her tears and hurriedly said, "No, he didn't humiliate me. I'm just talking nonsense. That person is ruthless with his words, but he's actually a kind person."
Elder Xu glanced at Xu Xiaoxuan and smiled. "You still say you don't like him? If you don't like him, why are you so eager to protect him? "
Xu Xiaoxuan knew that she had been tricked. She puffed up her cheeks and glared at Elder Xu. Embarrassed and angry, she said, "Grandpa, what are you thinking? He's a married man. His wife is my senior in university. "
"So what? Joe Qiao is infertile. Do you think Family He will tolerate her? "Elder Xu said slowly.
"What?" Xu Xiaoxuan was stunned. She thought she was hallucinating. "How is that possible?"
"It's true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to this extent." Elder Xu looked at his granddaughter and said helplessly, "If you hadn't been so stubborn, saying that you had to find an artist boyfriend, you would have been Family He's young mistress. Joe Qiao would have nothing to do with you."
"Grandpa, we agreed that we wouldn't talk about this!"
Xu Xiaoxuan's hair stood on end.
"Fine. Anyway, Shaochen is the youngest and most promising young man in the younger generation. I've never heard of any gossip about him. You'll be happy with him."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. He Shaochen doesn't like me at all." Although Xu Xiaoxuan said that, her face was red. She said, "I won't destroy other people's families. Grandpa, don't pair me with that bastard again!"
With that, she hurriedly ran upstairs.
Seeing his granddaughter so stubborn, Elder Xu shook his head helplessly. When would this girl stop being so naive?
But no matter how resistant Xu Xiaoxuan was, he wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. He Shaochen needed his help now. He would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to bite Family He.

He Shaochen went directly to Family He's main house. When he quietly returned to the bedroom, he found Qiao Qiao sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at the wedding photos in a daze.
"Why are you awake so early?" He Shaochen walked into the room and asked.
It was only about seven o 'clock. According to Qiao Qiao's biological clock, she shouldn't wake up until eight or nine o' clock.
"Oh, maybe I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early today." Qiao Qiao's voice was faint, without the slightest ripple.
In fact, He Shaochen didn't sleep last night because she waited for him.
As for where He Shaochen went behind her back when he should have returned home last night, Qiao Qiao didn't think it was necessary to delve into it.
Anyway, no matter what, he wouldn't let her get involved.
He Shaochen heard such a calm voice and couldn't help but frown. Before he could ask her about her meeting with An Ziyan, Qiao Qiao said first, "I won't get involved in your business anymore. You can do whatever you want."
Now He Shaochen didn't feel that Qiao Qiao was wrong. He was sure that Qiao Qiao was really wrong.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a thing so calmly.
"What's wrong with you?"
He Shaochen frowned.
He didn't sleep last night, plus his body was tired, and his temper was a little bad. Seeing Qiao Qiao say such things without knowing the reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought it through." Qiao Qiao smiled faintly at He Shaochen.
She put the photos back into the box, then stood up, slightly lowered her eyes, and said, "Charles VII passed away. The people in J Country have blocked the news, but there will be a big movement soon. I've decided to go to J Country."
He Shaochen's eyes suddenly widened. He was obviously shocked by this news. Seeing Qiao Qiao say it so calmly, he asked, "How long have you known? Why didn't you tell me? "
And yesterday she went to see An Ziyan. Didn't she know that her situation was suddenly pushed to the teeth of the storm?
Hearing the faint reproach in He Shaochen's words, Qiao Qiao only felt that it was funny. What reason did he have to reproach her?
"I also only found out yesterday. I originally wanted to tell you …" At this point, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh. She tilted her head, her eyes calm and without a ripple.
"But, you're too busy … so busy that you don't even have time to listen to me say a word."
During this period of time, this kind of situation was almost normal.
For a moment, He Shaochen felt something fiercely grab his heart.
It was extremely painful.
"I've already booked a plane ticket and will leave tomorrow. I thought that if you didn't come back today, I would go look for you. I didn't expect you to come back in the morning. I didn't even have to say goodbye …"
In the next second, He Shaochen stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Qiao's wrist. His eyes were filled with anger. "Qiao Qiao, are you crazy? Going to J Country now, are you looking for death? "
Those people in J Country couldn't wait to eat her alive. She actually went there herself, like a lamb in a tiger's den. If this wasn't stupid, then what was?
"I'm not looking for death."
"If you're not looking for death, then what are you doing? Or are you deliberately trying to make me angry? "
"I didn't mean that." Qiao Qiao frowned in pain. He Shaochen's strength was very strong. His grip on her hand was like an iron hoop, but even so, she didn't resist.
He Shaochen was almost driven mad by Qiao Qiao's calmness. He gritted his teeth and said: "Qiao Qiao, if you have any sense, then stay at Family He's place. Don't go to him. I'll take everything you want for you. Can't you give me some peace of mind?"
Qiao Qiao's eyelids twitched. Suddenly, she fiercely twitched her hand.
The moment she broke free, Qiao Qiao seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking. A sharp pain came from her wrist. She resisted the pain and didn't make a sound. Instead, she glared at He Shaochen and said: "Yes, I didn't give you peace of mind. I'm really sorry. Because of my selfish desires, I dragged you into suffering and made you annoyed every day when you see me. From today onwards, you don't have to be busy anymore. You don't have to worry about my matters anymore!"
"Qiao Qiao, say that again!"
He Shaochen's gaze was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.
The strong pressure made it difficult for Qiao Qiao to breathe. She suppressed the fear in her heart and looked at He Shaochen. She said word by word: "You don't have to worry about my matters anymore!"
He Shaochen was so angry that he suddenly raised his hand as if he was about to slap her.
Qiao Qiao stared at him unyieldingly. If he wanted to hit her, then hit her. In the end, he would just beat her to death!
Although that was what she thought, her body had already started to tremble uncontrollably. Even so, she didn't want to show the slightest bit of fear in front of He Shaochen.
He Shaochen's hand also stopped in mid-air. He didn't swing it down for a long time.
After a long time.
His hand was forced down.
He took a step back. His eyes were filled with disappointment. "I won't let you do anything stupid. Don't even think about going to J Country."
"He Shaochen …"
"From today onwards, other than Family He, you're not allowed to go anywhere."
Qiao Qiao was furious. "What right do you have to restrict my personal freedom?"
He Shaochen was also angry. Facing Qiao Qiao's questioning, he coldly said, "Because I'm He Shaochen!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted at the servants outside the house, "Watch Young Madam. If I find out that she's going out, you'd better think about your own funeral."
Qiao Qiao was so angry that her whole body trembled. "He Shaochen, are you forcing me?"
"Forcing you is better than watching you throw your life away!"
After saying that, two servants walked in from outside the house. He Shaochen instructed them, "Watch her. Don't let her leave the villa."
"Yes …"
He Shaochen turned around to leave. Qiao Qiao chased after him. "He Shaochen, stop right there …"
"Young Madam, please wait."
Qiao Qiao was pulled back by the servants. She could only watch as He Shaochen disappeared around the corner.
She was in despair.
He Shaochen, why are you doing this to me?
Anyway, it's so difficult to even see me. Isn't it better to let me go?

Qiao Qiao was under house arrest.
Father He immediately went to He Shaochen to persuade him when he found out about this. However, He Shaochen was extremely stubborn this time and did not listen to anyone's advice.
He was determined to lock Qiao Qiao in the house.
"Why are the two of them fighting again?" Father He shook his head helplessly. However, he could not interfere. If He Shaochen was determined to do something, no one could persuade him.
Freya had been busy these days making arrangements and helping Qiao Qiao investigate He Shaochen's whereabouts. Therefore, it was a few days later when she found out that Qiao Qiao was under house arrest.
She immediately rushed to Family He after hearing the news.
"What's going on? Why does Shaochen want to put Qiao Qiao under house arrest? Is he crazy? "Freya fired directly at Father He.
Father He felt very wronged. "I'm not involved in their affairs, so I don't know."
Freya gave Father He a look of disdain. She recalled the results of her investigation over the past few days and could not help but frown. "Let me see Qiao Qiao."
"That's good too. You should also talk to that child. I think the problem lies with Qiao Qiao. If you talk to her, there might be a turn for the better."
Father He agreed and expressed his opinion.
However, Freya immediately gave her a sharp look. She put on a "gentle" smile and said, "How can you be so partial to your son? Why don't you say that Shaochen's sudden change in attitude made Qiao Qiao feel insecure? What kind of wife can't find her husband all day long? "
"Uh …"
Father He knew that he had stepped on Freya's minefield. He smiled bitterly and said, "I was wrong, okay? You should go and see Qiao Qiao. I can't talk to Shaochen. At least, you should talk to Qiao Qiao … "
"Of course I'll persuade her. If Qiaoqiao wants to leave the He family, I'll take her with me without hesitation," Freja said meaningfully as she recalled the photos one after another in her mind.
Father He heard this and sighed. "Don't tell me you really want to take Qiao Qiao back to J Country?"
Freya said seriously, "As long as it's what she wants, I will do it."
Father He saw that Freya's expression was serious and didn't seem to be joking at all. For a moment, Father He seemed to understand He Shaochen's way of doing things.
If he allowed this mother and daughter to continue arguing, there would definitely be problems.
Freya went to see Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao had been staying in her bedroom for the past few days. She had lost a lot of weight, as if she was only left with bones. However, her eyes were getting clearer and clearer.
"Qiao Qiao …"
Freya called out to Qiao Qiao in a hoarse voice.
Qiao Qiao was still in a daze at first, but when she heard the noise, she slowly turned around. When she saw Freya, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"You're finally here, Freya. He Shaochen restricted my communication device. I can't contact anyone outside."
Freya paused. Qiao Qiao actually called out He Shaochen's full name.
However, she didn't think too much about it. She hurried over and held Qiao Qiao's face. Her heart ached as she said, "How did you get yourself into this state? Didn't you eat? "
Qiao Qiao lowered her head and said indifferently, "I wanted to use the trick of injuring myself to gain your confidence. Unfortunately, it didn't work."
Because He Shaochen didn't even come home these past few days.
"Why did you hurt yourself because of anger? Your body isn't good to begin with … "
Qiao Qiao held Freya's hand and said calmly, "I know my limits. I take the necessary protein and vitamins for my body every day. I won't die."
"Qiao Qiao …"
"By the way, Freya, how's the situation in J Country now?"
Qiao Qiao quickly changed the topic.
How could Freya not know her intentions? She shook her head and said, "J Country is now facing internal and external troubles. Country A is secretly pressuring J Country. J Country's economy has suffered a heavy blow and the stock market has plummeted. I think this is probably Shaochen's doing in the dark."
Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. "Does Family He have such great power?"
Family He was strong and hard to shake in Country A. This was understandable. However, could his hand even touch J Country?
A single family could shake a country?
