The Boldness of the Head of He Family
He Shaochen's hand stopped when the tip of the pen touched the paper. His gaze lingered on Joe Qiao's name for a long time. He wanted to write, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't write He Shaochen's name.
If he signed it, she would no longer belong to him.
But if he didn't sign, he couldn't even give her the most basic happiness.
"Qiao Qiao …"
"Qiao Qiao …"
He Shaochen murmured the name several times, as if he wanted to carve the name into his bones. He couldn't let go of her, he couldn't bear the scene of Qiao Qiao leaning into someone else's arms, but he didn't have the ability to make her happy.
His heart once again suffered the torment and pain of falling into purgatory. His body became colder and colder, and his heart constricted.
"Cough cough cough … cough cough …"
He Shaochen coughed violently again. He covered his mouth tightly, but he couldn't stop himself from coughing.
"Cough cough cough … pfff …"
A metallic taste surged up from his throat, and a pool of blood splattered on the divorce agreement like ink. It was a ghastly sight.
"He Shao!"
Qin Dong was shocked. He hurried forward to check on the situation but was stopped by He Shaochen.
"Stand down!"
Qin Dong paused, "He Shao, your body …"
He Shaochen forced himself to stand up. His eyes were cold as he said word by word, "Qin Dong, are you not going to listen to me anymore?"
"He Shao, I am …" Facing He Shaochen's cold gaze, Qin Dong swallowed his words. Even if he told him not to worry about Young Madam, he probably wouldn't listen.
After all, she had always been a stubborn person.
Qin Dong struggled for a long time before he finally left the room and closed the door. Intermittent coughing could be heard from the room.
Ever since he had been beaten up by Freya, He Shaochen's condition of vomiting blood had never improved. Now that he had been poisoned by someone, his body was like a dying candle in the wind and had reached its limit.
Qin Dong was a shadow that Family He had spent a lot of money to cultivate. From the moment he was conscious, a mission was deeply engraved in his mind, and that was to serve the head of Family He. Now that He Shaochen was gradually dying, his heart was heavy, and he felt sorry for He Shaochen.
He even felt resentful toward Qiao Qiao.
Where was that woman when He Shao was in pain? Or perhaps, she was in the arms of another man, full of remorse?
She didn't know the reason at all. She didn't even think about finding out the truth. She just rushed over with the divorce agreement. Did she know that she was digging He Shao's heart out by doing this?
However, Young Master He had never once complained about such a self-righteous woman. In fact, he had always been considerate of her. With only a few months left, he had never thought about himself. All he thought about was how to protect that woman and how to make her life better.
But was she worthy?
Was she worthy of this man's love?
From the time they met and got to know each other to the time they fell in love, Qin Dong had never seen his so-called Young Madam do anything for Young Master He. When had Young Master He ever not stood up for her? From the beginning to the end, he only saw He Shao's sacrifice. What was that woman dissatisfied about that she wanted to divorce Young Master?
Qin Dong knew that he wasn't the party involved and had no right to judge their relationship. But from his point of view, he really felt that He Shaochen wasn't worth it.
He Shaochen stayed in the house alone, silently suffering the pain of his illness. His eyes were fixed on the divorce agreement, and he felt that his heart was going numb from the pain.
"Qiao Qiao … Cough, cough, cough …"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
He didn't want to lose her. Even if he only had a few months left, he still wanted to be with her. No matter whether he was selfish or overbearing, he just wanted to be with her.
He never thought that loving someone would be so painful. It was a hundred times more painful than being sick. Even if he tried his best to protect her, he would still hurt her.
He Shaochen cried. He pressed the divorce agreement to his heart. His whole body was trembling, and he cried like a child who had lost everything.
No matter what happened, a person who was always calm in the face of change met his love calamity. From then on, he fell from the altar to the mortal world and became an ordinary person who also had emotions.
He Shaochen had cried twice in his life, but without exception, it was because of Qiao Qiao.
He only felt joy, anger, sorrow, and joy for one person, and that person was Qiao Qiao.
He loved her so much, but he hurt her so deeply.
"Qiao Qiao … Qiao Qiao …"
"Qiao Qiao …"
"Qiao Qiao … Qiao Qiao … Qiao Qiao … Qiao Qiao …"
He Shaochen called Qiao Qiao's name over and over again. He wanted to engrave this name in his mind and in the depths of his soul.
Over and over again.
He never got tired.
In the end, only the mournful howls of a lonely beast were left in the house, and it lasted for a long time.

Family He's main residence.
The board of directors gathered in the hall and discussed animatedly.
"How did He Shao get such a strange disease? Sigh, he's so young, but he only has a few months to live. Heaven is jealous of geniuses, tsk tsk tsk … "
"Isn't that so? However, he only has a few months to live, but he still hid it from the board of directors. When he dies, it'll be over, but what about He Conglomerate? Without a leader, wouldn't it be a mess? Sigh, after all, he's still a young man who lacks experience. "
"Haha, do you really think He Shao is a fool? If he had announced that he was going to die early, who would have listened to him? This is all a trap! "
"However, who will inherit the position of CEO after he dies? You know, he's the only direct descendant of Family He. What will happen if he dies? "
"Who said he's the only one? Isn't our Director He also the direct descendant? Even if He Shao dies, He Clan won't collapse! " It was not known who said this, but everyone's eyes turned to He Shaoqiu at the side in unison.
Although Old Master He's illegitimate son was illegitimate, his bloodline was still much purer than the blood relatives of the collateral family.
If He Shaochen really died, it wasn't impossible for him to inherit the position of Family He's next head.
Once they thought about the possibility of He Shao Qiu becoming the next head of the family, everyone's eyes burned with passion. They rushed up to him and tried to get close to him.
He Shao Qiu smiled politely and said, "Everyone, don't be in such a hurry. Let's wait for Shaochen to arrive first."
"Isn't this a done deal? Actually, I've heard rumors about He Shao's worsening cold, but I couldn't get anything out of Secretary Ling. Every time I asked, she would beat around the bush. Sigh. "
"Secretary Ling is He Shao Qiu's confidant. How could she possibly tell you something so secretive? But the more they try to hide it, the more I think it's possible. "
At that moment, one of the directors standing across from He Shao Qiu exchanged glances with He Shao Qiu and laughed. "From now on, Director He will be the head of Family He. We still have a lot of things to rely on you for."
When he said that, the others followed suit.
"Yeah, yeah. Director He, we'll be counting on you from now on."
"I knew Director He would make a name for himself one day. Haha …"
"Director He, if there's anything you need me for in the future, I'll do my best!"
He Shao Qiu looked at the flattering faces of these people and sneered in his heart. When he first came to Family He, every one of them had mocked and ridiculed him. But now? Every one of them was fighting to get into his good books.
How ugly.
He Shao Qiu smiled and said, "Isn't it too early for everyone to say that? I'm just an illegitimate child. How could I possibly become the head of Family He? Let's not talk about this topic anymore."
"Director He, don't belittle yourself. Right now, there's no one else in Family He's direct line of descent other than you. Who else could be the head of the family other than you?"
He Shao Qiu smiled without batting an eyelid. He continued, "You can't say that. My brother is in the prime of his life. It's not impossible for him to have another child. Besides, isn't there still Linlang? That little girl is also his direct line of descent. "
Although he said that, He Guanrui hadn't been in charge for a long time. As for Linlang, she was just a little girl. Who would really take her seriously?
So when He Shao Qiu said that, everyone was in an uproar. "Director He, let's not talk about that for now. What can that little girl Linlang do? She's not even worth mentioning … "
"You can't say that. Like father, like son. Linlang is still growing. Her future prospects are still very impressive."
He Shao Qiu's voice had just fallen when a crisp and high-pitched female voice came from outside the room. "Little Uncle, you flatter me. Linlang is indeed still an insensible little girl."
Linlang walked in. Her figure was petite in the crowd, but the aura around her didn't lose out to anyone else.
When the crowd saw Lin Lang walk in, they were still talking non-stop just a moment ago, but now, they all fell silent.
Linlang walked in front of He Shao Qiu and glanced sharply at the board of directors. She said coldly, "However, our Family He doesn't need others to judge us!"
The few people who were gossiping about Linlang suddenly looked like they had eaten a fly. They laughed awkwardly and stepped back.
He Shao Qiu's expression didn't change. He wore a kind smile and asked, "Linlang, where's your father? Why isn't he back yet? And Shaochen too. Now that the board of directors is here, shouldn't you at least give us an explanation? "
Linlang lowered her eyes and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Little Uncle, I don't know what explanation you want. My brother is perfectly fine. How could he be dead? This is clearly a rumor spread by people with ulterior motives. Don't you find it ridiculous that all of you came to our Family He's main residence to cause a ruckus? "
As she said that, Linlang's gaze swept across the board of directors.
When those people heard Linlang's words, their faces turned red and they didn't dare to say anything.
He Shao Qiu's gaze suddenly sharpened. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the young lady who wasn't even twenty years old. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He Shao Qiu continued to wear a kind smile and said, "Linlang, you can't say that. Anyone who hears such a rumor would panic. Shaochen is our Family He's heir. If something happens to him, everyone will be worried. It's normal for us to come and ask about it. Don't be too agitated."
"Heh, how can I not be agitated by such a joke?" Linlang laughed coldly. Then, she put on a naive look and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it's just a rumor. Someone as smart as Little Uncle wouldn't make such a mistake. Why are you so rash today? This doesn't seem like our Family He's style. "
'This damned girl!'
He Shao Qiu cursed Linlang in his heart. He said seriously, "Linlang, now that things have come to this, regardless of whether the truth is true or not, as the head of He Conglomerate, Shaochen should come out and say something. I believe that nothing happened to him, but what about the others? Now that this matter has caused everyone to panic, shouldn't he come out? "
These words seemed to have touched the hearts of the board of directors. They all echoed, "That's right, of course we believe in Shaochen. As long as he can come out."
"That's right, whether it's true or not, he should come out and say it clearly. In ancient times, people were very particular about maintaining morale."
"Young Miss, if you know where He Shao is, ask him to come out."
Linlang was still too young. Faced with such a situation, she didn't know where to start.
She glared at He Shao Qiu angrily. However, the other party sneered and said slowly, "Linlang, Shaochen is still missing. Could it be that he's really sick and can't get out of bed?"
"That's right!"
"I haven't seen He Shao for many days."
…
"My brother … He's …"
Linlang opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. In fact, she wasn't confident because she didn't know whether this matter was true or not. She also didn't know where He Shaochen was. Now that the pillars of the Family He, Father He and He Shaochen, were not around, everything was on her shoulders. As expected, it was a little strenuous.
Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. He Shao Qiu didn't even try to hide his pride.
Everyone was bullying this little girl who hadn't matured yet.
"I heard that everyone is very concerned about my health. They even left the company's affairs behind …"
He Shaochen Qiu's voice rang out from the door. Everyone's gaze turned to the door. They saw He Shaochen Qiu dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His handsome face carried a trace of coldness as he leisurely walked in from outside. Behind him were Qin Dong and Ling Yu.
"He Shao Qiu!"
"He Shao Qiu …"
He Shaochen Qiu walked to the middle of the crowd and said in a calm voice, "Because I was busy dealing with the affairs that everyone left behind, I came a little late. I hope everyone doesn't mind."
That one sentence directly caused everyone to turn red in the face.
After saying that, He Shaochen Qiu walked towards Linlang. There was finally some warmth in his eyes as he said, "Little girl, you've grown up. You can take charge of things on your own now."
Linlang was so anxious that tears were about to come out of her eyes. Now that her savior had finally arrived, she shook her head and put on a pitiful look as if she had suffered a great grievance. Choking with sobs, she said, "Brother, you're finally here. These guys are so arrogant just because there's no one in the Family He. They're not young anymore, but they still specially came to bully a little girl like me. I, I …"
After saying that, Linlang began to cover her face and sob.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know who was the one who had forced all of them to the point where their necks were red. What was the situation now?
He Shaochen Qiu patted Linlang's head. Without looking at anyone, he said calmly, "Director Zhang, the red wine industry that you're in charge of made a profit of one billion last year. However, your head office's finance department reported a loss of five hundred million. Tell me, is there a problem with your finance department, or is there something wrong with the people in the finance department?"
Director Zhang, who was called out, felt his scalp go numb. He laughed dryly and stammered for a long time before suddenly saying, "He Shao Qiu, I'm relieved to see that you're safe. I'll immediately go and ask the finance department head about it!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
He Shaochen Qiu didn't even bat an eyelid. He said again, "Director Li, the goods from the customs …"
This time, before he could finish, the other party interrupted, "He Shao Qiu, I'll immediately send someone to rush him!"
Then, he ran away as if his butt was on fire.
Following that, people left one after another with various excuses until only He Shao Qiu and two other directors were left. He Shao Qiu secretly clenched his fists. He really didn't expect He Shaochen Qiu to have a backup plan.
However, He Shao Qiu didn't panic. He smiled and was about to speak when He Shaochen Qiu met his gaze and said coldly, "Uncle, if I remember wrongly, you should still be supervising the project in C Country right now, right?"
He Shao Qiu was stunned. Then, he used the excuse he had prepared in advance and said, "Shaochen Qiu, the project is just an inanimate object. It's the same to let others supervise it. I heard that your body was affected by the cold. I was worried about my nephew, so I flew back overnight to see how you were doing."
"Now that you've seen it, are you satisfied?"
"Haha … Is your body okay? Why do I feel that your face is a little too pale? Is it … "
He Shaochen Qiu interrupted He Shao Qiu's words and said, "Uncle, where did you get so much from? Which eye of yours saw that my body was not well? It's better to listen less to what others say. "
"I'm just concerned about you."
"Thank you for your trouble. Since you're done with your concern, shouldn't you go back to C Country to continue supervising the project? If you leave everything to others, I think your position as director should be handed over to others, right? "
He Shao Qiu's face suddenly changed.
He stared at He Shaochen Qiu, but the latter didn't even want to look at him out of the corner of his eye. He just said calmly, "I've already asked someone to book a ticket back to C Country for you. You don't need your nephew to personally send you to the airport, do you?"
After a long time.
He Shao Qiu laughed dryly and said, "That's not necessary. However, Shaochen Qiu, if anything happens to your body, the entire He Conglomerate will be in trouble. So, don't hide it from us."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
He Shaochen Qiu's voice was as indifferent as ever.
He Shao Qiu stared at He Shaochen Qiu for a long time, then finally left in a huff. The two directors who were with him also left with ugly expressions.
After leaving the He residence, the two directors hurriedly asked He Shao Qiu, "Director He, what do you think is going on? He Shaochen Qiu doesn't have any problems at all. Now that we've caused such a ruckus, he must have remembered us. "
He Shao Qiu's expression was also quite ugly. When he heard the two directors' words, he sneered and said, "Don't worry, He Shaochen Qiu won't live for long. He was just bluffing just now."
"But …"
"Trust me, in less than three months, He Shaochen Qiu will be dead for sure!"
He residence.
"Brother, how's your body? Why are so many people saying that you won't live for long? "Linlang had just returned from abroad and was not familiar with the situation here.
He Shaochen Qiu looked at his sister and smiled faintly. "Those people are right. I won't live for long."
"Brother! You're saying that again! "Linlang's expression changed.
"Hehe …"
He Shaochen Qiu did not argue with Linlang. He only said in a declarative tone, "In the future, when I'm not around, remember to take care of Dad and Mom. Don't always run around. After all, the burden of He Clan will be on your shoulders from now on."
"Brother!"
Linlang tugged at He Shaochen Qiu's clothes and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. This is the truth. I won't live for long." He Shaochen Qiu looked at Linlang and said seriously, "Come with me. I have something to give you."
