Let You Go
"What?"
Qiao Qiao raised her head and looked at Freya in confusion. Seeing her serious expression, she instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen. She held her breath and listened to her.
"Didn't you ask me to investigate Shaochen's recent movements? There's a result. "
"Oh?"
Qiao Qiao responded.
"In order to deal with those people from J Country, he probably joined forces with the Xu family in the political world. Recently, my people found out that he was close to the Xu family's granddaughter …"
As she spoke, she took out a photo of Xu Xiaoxuan from her bag.
"This is the person. Recently, they have been going in and out together."
Qiao Qiao took the photo and found the girl in it familiar.
After thinking carefully, Qiao Qiao suddenly realized.
Wasn't this the woman who flashed by that day?
That day, she felt that she saw He Shaochen's figure across the street. Moreover, there was a woman beside him. That woman was Xu Xiaoxuan in the photo.
He shouldn't be able to fool her with his eyes anymore, right?
But that day, Ling Yu had told her that He Shaochen had been working in the office. Would an office worker appear on the street to date someone else?
What a ridiculous lie.
Freya deliberately observed Qiao Qiao's reaction. She found that her face was cold and expressionless, but her eyes were fixed on the photo.
She thought that she would be excited and ask about their relationship, but this reaction was far beyond Freya's expectations.
"Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She only sighed softly and put the photo aside. "Shaochen's assistant kept telling me that he has been very busy with work recently."
"…"
Freya rubbed Qiao Qiao's hair and said, "Maybe things aren't what we think. You should trust Shaochen. Qiao Qiao … maybe he has a reason?"
Even Freya didn't have the confidence to say this.
"I also want to believe in him." Qiao Qiao's expression was filled with indescribable pain. She bit her lips and bitterly said, "But he's been acting too strange recently. He's always gone missing and I can't find him for a long time. Even when he comes home, he locks himself in his study. Even when I want to touch him, he'll obviously avoid me …"
"It's like … I'm some kind of virus …"
In the end, Qiaoqiao was unable to continue. Her tears dripped down with a pitter-patter sound.
She grabbed Freya's hand and asked in a sobbing tone, "Even in this situation, do I still have to believe him? Freya, tell me, can I really continue to trust him? "
Unconditional trust was hard to come by.
Even if there was a great difficulty, he couldn't tell her?
Was she so unreliable?
"Do you think you can continue to trust me?" Seeing Qiao Qiao's outburst, Freya breathed a sigh of relief. Suppressing herself would only hurt herself.
Qiao Qiao's eyes were blank. She shook her head and said, "I don't know …"
She wanted to believe it, but there was no reason for her to believe it with the evidence now. Even if she wanted to ask someone, the other party didn't give her a chance to ask.
She tried to understand him, but he pushed her away step by step.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have let you know this now. I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao." Freya sighed.
The results of her investigation seemed to only make Qiao Qiao more confused.
Qiao Qiao sniffed and shook her head. "No, compared to pain, I hate living without knowing why. Freya, don't blame yourself. Even if you don't tell me, I'll find out one day."
"Then what can I help you with?"
What can I help her with?
Qiao Qiao remembered what An Ziyan told her. Because He Shaochen put her under house arrest, Qiao Qiao didn't have a chance to clarify the matter. She held Freya's hand and said, "By the way, Freya, can you help me investigate another person?"
"Go ahead."
"When I was pregnant, I had been drinking supplements prescribed by an old Chinese medicine doctor. But recently, there was a rumor that the doctor was secretly selling high-priced abortion drugs. I'm thinking that my miscarriage might have something to do with Dr. Jiang."
"Is that true?" Freya asked in surprise.
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously. She tried hard to recall her previous experience. At that time, after she drank the supplements, she often had an unstable fetus. She thought it was because of her, but after learning about the matter, she felt that it had something to do with the supplements.
"If there's really a problem with the supplements, then Ms. Qiu who gave you the supplements …"
Freya wanted to say something, but stopped.
Qiao Qiao's expression was a little serious, but more than that, she was in pain. In the end, she could only smile bitterly. "Shaochen's mother doesn't seem to like me very much."
At that time, her identity hadn't been made public.
Mother He didn't want her "lowly" blood to taint the Family. He seemed to make sense.
"I'll send someone to investigate this matter. Don't worry, if there's really a problem with the supplements, I don't think I'll let those who hurt you off."
"Freya, thank you." Qiao Qiao hurriedly looked at him and suddenly smiled. "I suddenly realized that the only person I can rely on now seems to be you."
How sad it was that she couldn't even rely on her own husband.
How lucky she was that even in the worst situation, she still had someone to rely on.
Freya wiped away Qiao Qiao's tears and smiled gently. "Silly child, I'm your mother. If you don't rely on me, who can you rely on?"
"… Mm."
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but cry again. She quickly raised her head and forced herself to smile. "Ah, I'm so annoying. I've been crying too much recently. It's not like me anymore. Haha …"
"Qiao Qiao, there's no need to force a smile."
Freya's heart ached for Qiao Qiao. She suddenly went forward and hugged Qiao Qiao. She stroked her back and said, "In this world, the deepest bond will always be family. Everyone can betray you, but I won't. Because I'm your mother, I'll protect and love you for the rest of my life. In front of me, you don't have to pretend. If you want to cry, just cry out loud."
Qiao Qiao listened to every word Freya said seriously.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched.
In this world, there was no one to rely on other than family.
She suddenly hugged Freya back with an effort, and burst into tears in her arms, as though she wanted to weep away all her tears.
Freya, on the other hand, supported her silently.
After an unknown period of time, Qiao Qiao finally calmed down. She suddenly made a decision. She grabbed Freya's hand as if she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw. She begged, "Freya, I want to live with you. Take me with you!"
"Qiao Qiao, are you serious?"
Freya was surprised and happy.
Qiao Qiao nodded heavily and said in a self-deprecating manner, "In the past, you asked me if I wanted to go with you. I refused because I didn't want to leave Shaochen. But now, I've changed my mind. Instead of living in vain in the future, it's better to separate now. Anyway, he doesn't want to see me. It's better for me to take the initiative to leave. At least, I can leave in a carefree manner."
What she was most worried about now was that He Shaochen wouldn't let her go.
He clearly wasn't even willing to touch her, but he still wanted to keep her under house arrest in Family He. This was too abnormal.
But if he was abnormal, she had no obligation to be abnormal with him. If this went on, she would definitely be driven crazy. Moreover, the situation in J Country wasn't clear yet. She hadn't avenged her child's death. She couldn't stay silent anymore.
"Freya, take me with you!"
"Okay."
Freya was happier than anyone else that Qiao Qiao was willing to be with her. "As long as you're willing, I'll take you with me."
Qiao Qiao's face lit up when she heard this. "You really have a way to take me with you?"
"Of course …"
"Dream on!"
The door suddenly opened and He Shaochen appeared at the doorway with a malicious expression. He looked at the two people in the room and said coldly, "Joe Qiao is not allowed to go anywhere except at Family He!"
Qiao Qiao and Freya turned around in shock to see He Shaochen suddenly appear at the doorway. Qiao Qiao's shock immediately turned into anger and she said angrily, "He Shaochen, don't go too far!"
"I'm bullying you!" He Shaochen sneered.
He was about to explode from anger. When he found out that Freya was going to Family He, he felt that something was going to happen. He didn't expect that his guess would really be correct.
This woman actually instigated Joe Qiao to leave with her!
She was courting death!
"He Shaochen, must you drive Qiao Qiao crazy? What right do you have to put her under house arrest at Family He? Don't you think that your actions are very despicable? "Freya asked as she shielded Qiao Qiao behind her.
If looks could kill, Freya would have died many times over. He Shaochen stared at Freya with a very frightening gaze. Most people wouldn't even be able to look him in the eye.
"Compared to a woman who has been on the run for more than twenty years suddenly wanting to find family love, I don't think what I did was too much."
Freya's face turned pale.
"Do you know the current situation? Do you know how many people out there want Joe Qiao's life? Do you think you have the ability to protect Joe Qiao from harm? Where does your confidence come from? Do you want to see Joe Qiao being taken away by the enemy before you end this boring family love game? "
He Shaochen's aura was very strong, and he didn't give Freya any room to refute.
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of Freya. His tall figure instantly covered Freya, and his powerful aura suppressed everyone.
"If I see you instigating Joe Qiao to leave Family He again, even if you are her biological mother, I won't let you off. Remember, there won't be a next time."
Freya narrowed her eyes and stared at the young man in front of her.
There was an indescribable feeling. When she heard Qiao Qiao's words, she felt that He Shaochen didn't love her anymore. But now, it seemed that he was a man who loved her so much that he was about to lose his mind.
But if he loved Qiao Qiao so much, why did he ignore Qiao Qiao for so many days? He wasn't even willing to touch her?
"He Shaochen, what right do you have to speak to Freya like that? Even if she's not strong enough now, she's still a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you! " Qiao Qiao pushed He Shaochen away. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at He Shaochen.
"Qiao Qiao, be rational! If you go out with that woman now, you're courting death! "
"Even if I'm courting death, it's better than being treated like a dead person by you!"
"Say that again!"
"It's true! He Shaochen, ask yourself, do you still have me in your heart? You met with another woman behind my back, and you even told me that you were working. That day, Lingyu said that you were back, and I waited for you the whole night, but you were nowhere to be seen. Tell me, where did you go? Where did you go? "
"That day?" Recently, he hadn't been home for too long, and he didn't know which night Qiao Qiao was talking about.
"The night before you put me under house arrest." Qiao Qiao sneered.
He Shaochen's eyelids twitched. That day, because of Xu Xiaoxuan, he had planned to go home, but he went to the Xu family …
"You have nothing to say, right?"
Qiao Qiao laughed, but she looked like she was about to cry. "Did you meet the Xu family's granddaughter? You met with another woman behind my back, but at home, you guarded against me like I was a virus. He Shaochen, that's enough. I don't want to listen to your explanation anymore. "
"It's not like that, I …"
He Shaochen was about to refute, but Qiao Qiao asked directly, "Tell me, did you meet with Xu Xiaoxuan that night? Have you been with her these past few days? "
How did they find out about this?
He Shaochen knew who spread the news with his eyes closed. He glared fiercely at Freya, but she said, "I don't want my daughter to be kept in the dark by a playboy."
"It's not what you think."
He Shaochen was irritated. He didn't know how to explain it. Xu Lao did have the intention to matchmake them, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He was just putting on a show to appease Xu Lao.
But, would she believe him if he said so?
He Shaochen didn't know.
He had been very agitated since the beginning, but his body didn't calm down. Instead, it became colder. He Shaochen took a deep breath and stabilized his heart.
If this continued, he might not be able to withstand the cold and have a cold attack.
Seeing Qiao Qiao's repulsion, He Shaochen's heart seemed to bleed.
Right now, she didn't want to listen to any of his explanations.
Perhaps, it wouldn't be bad to let her live with Freya. At least, he didn't have to look at her every day and resist the desire to touch her.
He didn't have to worry about her knowing about the drastic changes in her body.
He Shaochen clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He said lightly, "If you really want to live with Freya, then … up to you."
In an instant, Qiao Qiao's eyes widened to the extreme. She thought she would be very happy, but when she heard He Shaochen say that he would let her go, she felt as if her heart was being squeezed by someone. It was so painful that she almost suffocated.
Qiao Qiao, don't cry. Don't cry.
Isn't this what you've always wanted?
Qiao Qiao warned herself in her heart.
She tried her best to hold back her tears. Her hands clenched into fists to suppress the urge to tremble. She nodded heavily and said in a hoarse voice, "He Shaochen, thank you."
