Shaochen, I'm back!
"Freya, don't be so sure. What do you mean by taking Qiao Qiao away today? Have you asked for her opinion? What right do you have to make the decision for her? " As Father He spoke, he looked at the silent Qiao Qiao and said sternly, "Qiao Qiao, are you really going to be so heartless to Shaochen? He's your husband! You haven't signed the divorce papers yet! "
Qiao Qiao's mind was in a mess. She had already decided that she wouldn't care if He Shaochen only had a few more months to live. But when she heard Father He's words, her heart was still in a mess.
He Shaochen will really die?
How can that be?
That person is so powerful. He can do everything with ease. How can he die? No, he won't die!
She kept telling herself that over and over again. But why was her whole body trembling?
Why did she have the urge to run back to see He Shaochen?
Qiao Qiao, how disappointing can you be?
"Qiao Qiao!" Freya saw that Qiao Qiao was wavering. She was disappointed and anxious. She grabbed Qiao Qiao's hand and asked, "Qiao Qiao, just because of He Guanrui's words, you're wavering again? We've already come this far. Everyone has sacrificed so much to help you ascend the throne. But in the end, you still want to go back for the man who hurt you and hurt you? "
Qiao Qiao didn't miss the sadness in Freya's eyes. She was struggling internally.
"Freya, I …"
Qiao Qiao couldn't finish her sentence because she didn't know how to respond to Freya. She really wanted to see He Shaochen, but Freya was right. Everyone had sacrificed so much for her willfulness. She couldn't just stand by and watch everything be destroyed.
It was a difficult choice.
How should she choose?
At this moment, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. She was stunned and turned around to see Xu Anting looking at her with a gentle smile. "Qiao Qiao, go and see He Shaochen."
"Professor Xu …" Qiao Qiao was surprised.
"Xu Anting!" Freya screamed Xu Anting's name and looked at him in surprise. She had never thought that he would say something like that. Was he going to push Qiao Qiao to He Shaochen again?
Xu Anting completely ignored Freya's murderous gaze. He took a deep breath and calmly stated, "The throne and revenge can be taken slowly, but He Shaochen only has a few months to live, right? I don't want this to become Qiao Qiao's regret for the rest of her life. "
Although he really wanted to support Freya and let her take Qiao Qiao away.
However, compared to his own selfishness, he didn't want to see Qiao Qiao sad even more.
This time, even Father He looked at Xu Anting in a new light. This young man was really a gentleman in the true sense. He would never take advantage of other people's difficulties. He was indeed worthy of being a member of the scholarly Xu family.
Freya clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it …"
"Freya, is the living more important or the dead more important?" Xu Anting asked.
"… …" Freya didn't say anything. She understood the logic, but it was very difficult to take action. She had waited for so long and she really didn't want to wait any longer.
For the past twenty years, Luo Weino's tragic death had been hovering in her mind, tormenting her heart. Her hatred grew day by day. She really couldn't let it go. She hated it too much. She couldn't wait for those behind the scenes to all die!
Luo Weino's smile kept appearing in front of her eyes and couldn't be erased.
Sadness suddenly welled up in her heart. Freya quickly turned her face away. She didn't want others to see her crying pitifully. However, her trembling shoulders betrayed everything.
She really couldn't let it go. She also didn't want to let it go …
Qiao Qiao looked at Freya's back and stared at her trembling shoulders for a long time. Then, she recalled everything that Freya had done for her.
She closed her eyes and suppressed the impulse in her heart. Then, she held Freya's hand. She lowered her eyes and calmly said, "Freya, I'll go to J Country with you."
Everyone was astonished.
"Qiao Qiao, you … …" Freya suddenly turned her head and looked at her in astonishment.
"A promise should be kept." Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and continued, "Since I promised Freya to go to J Country, I shouldn't go back on my word. Because of my matter, too many people have been implicated. I can't let everything go to waste because of my willfulness. So, I want to go to J Country."
End everything.
This result was simply out of everyone's expectations. The most shocked person was Father He.
Not only was he shocked, he was also angry.
"Qiao Qiao! So, for the sake of the throne, you still want to leave? Even if you know that Shaochen's life is in danger, even if you know that he has his own difficulties, you still want to leave, right? "
"Yes!"
Qiao Qiao's back was facing Father He. She tried her best to make her voice as stable as possible as she said word by word, "I've already decided long ago that I won't interfere with He Shaochen's matters! Father, please let me call you this one more time. I only have one question. Everything that you've done today, does He Shaochen know about it? Or is it that He Shaochen incited all of this? "
Father He was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "He didn't ask me to come … …"
"See, it's really like this. He didn't even directly reveal his illness to me. How can you be sure that he really wants me to go and see him? Are you sure this isn't your own decision? "
"He's never been good at expressing his feelings. Why would he ask me to come and see you? But, he really does love you! "
"Love me? Love me so much that he hides everything from me? " Qiao Qiao sneered and said ruthlessly, "He didn't even defend his actions. He would rather let me continue to misunderstand him. Is this love? Forgive me for not being able to accept this kind of love! "
Father He stared at Qiao Qiao's back. His eyes were unusually sharp, as if he wanted to see through Qiao Qiao.
Finally, he asked again, "Qiao Qiao, have you really loved Shaochen?"
Qiao Qiao suppressed the bitterness in her heart and answered seriously, "Yes, I have."
"So, it's too much?" Father He smiled bitterly.
"Yes!"
For a moment, it was as if the entire airport's time had stopped.
Then, Father He's tired voice could be heard. "I understand. You don't deserve Shaochen's love."
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Qiao Qiao knew that Father He had left.
Xu Anting looked at Qiao Qiao helplessly and sighed. "Qiao Qiao, why are you so determined? If He Shaochen really only has a few months to live, would you just watch him die?"
Qiao Qiao turned to look at Xu Anting and asked him back, "But He Shaochen has never begged me to go back, right? If the person involved has such an attitude, what's the point of what other people do? "
Xu Anting stared into Qiao Qiao's eyes for a long time. Her gaze was resolute.
"Sigh, I respect your choice."
Qiao Qiao forced a smile and said to Xu Anting, "Thank you, Professor Xu …"
A few hours later.
"Master, Young Madam has left."
A subordinate walked into the living room and reported to Father He.
Father He crushed the teacup in his hand.
His face became very gloomy and made people shudder. "Very good. She's really my good daughter-in-law. She's really Freya's daughter. She's so heartless!"
The subordinate was frightened by Father He's dangerous aura and trembled. He asked in a low voice, "Do you need us to bring Young Madam back?"
"What's the point of bringing her back? Her heart isn't here at all! We can't tell Young Master that we're here to look for Qiao Qiao. Do you understand? "Father He ordered sternly.
If He Shaochen knew about this, he would definitely be bitterly disappointed.
He really didn't want his son to be hurt by that woman again!
"Yes!"
— —
A few days later.
He Clan's head changed.
When He Shaochen announced that He Linlang would be the next head of the family and the CEO of He Conglomerate, everyone was in an uproar.
At first, there were voices of opposition, but they were all suppressed by He Shaochen's iron fist.
After that, there were no more voices of opposition. Whether it was from the heart or not, everyone had to admit that the person in charge of He Conglomerate was He Linlang.
Now.
He Shaochen was no longer the high and mighty CEO. He was just a member of He Clan.
After the board of directors made a scene in Family He, Mother He finally found out the truth. He Shaochen spent a lot of effort to appease her.
After Mother He fell asleep, He Shaochen packed his things and prepared to move out of Family He's main residence.
However, he didn't have much to pack. For people like them, there was almost nothing they couldn't do with money. When He Shaochen walked out, Linlang couldn't help but speak.
Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's. She stared straight at He Shaochen and choked, "Brother, are you really going to move out? If you leave, I won't be able to handle that group of old men alone. What will I do? And that uncle, he's always had bad intentions towards us. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle him. "
He Shaochen patted her head and smiled, "Didn't I ask Lingyu and Qin Dong to continue assisting you? If that group of old men makes trouble again, you can expose their weakness and make an example out of them. When the time comes, they'll naturally stop. However, don't use this too often. It'll be better to use it once in a while. "
"Yes, yes." Linlang nodded heavily. She sniffed, "What about He Shao Qiu?"
"As long as you're around, he won't be able to become the head of Family He. So, you must protect yourself well. Don't let others plot against you."
"I will protect myself well …" Linlang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and continued, "Brother, can I look for you later? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the company well. "
He Shaochen heard her and smiled dotingly. He half-jokingly said, "Of course you can. However, you have to do it as soon as possible. If something happens after I'm dead, I won't care."
"I know … sob sob sob …"
He Linlang wanted to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help but cry. She wiped her tears and choked, "Brother, I will … I will … sob sob sob …"
He Shaochen, "…"
Why didn't he know this girl loved to cry? Weren't they all heartless?
He exhaled and flicked Linlang's forehead. He said calmly, "Alright, it's about time. I have to go."
"Brother!"
Linlang suddenly hugged He Shaochen from behind. She rested her forehead on He Shaochen's back and whispered, "No matter what happens, you will always be my brother. You will always be my most respected and beloved brother."
Why was she suddenly so emotional?
Did you watch this little lass's romantic drama?
But why did He Shaochen feel as if sand had entered his eyes?
That heartless little girl had finally grown up.
He Shaochen left.
He left City A and went to the more remote City Z. It was like spring all year round there. Even in the cold winter, it was as warm as a greenhouse. It was a good place for him, who had a cold illness.
Ever since he became the head of He Conglomerate, he had almost never rested. Others could have two days off, but he didn't. Because he was the head of the conglomerate, he had to control the overall situation 365 days a year.
Now that he was relieved of all his duties, he could finally live his own life. He Shaochen felt that it was a blessing in disguise.
However, he would occasionally feel bored with nothing to do every day. But when he thought about how he didn't have many days to rest, He Shaochen felt relieved again.
On this day, he was still sleeping when he heard the doorbell ring.
Was it a delivery man?
He Shaochen had recently been addicted to online shopping. He didn't need to go out. He only needed to place an order online and he could buy anything. Although the quality of many things couldn't be guaranteed, he could still tolerate it.
That's right, he was now experiencing the life of a homebody.
He Shaochen rolled out of bed and put on a random shirt. Then, he walked towards the door. However, when he opened the door, he saw an unexpected figure. His whole body stiffened.
Was he hallucinating because he missed her too much?
He Shaochen rubbed his eyes, but the person in front of him was still there. Even her appearance hadn't changed.
She probably hadn't woken up yet. He Shaochen planned to close the door and go back to sleep. However, before the door could be closed, it was blocked by a small hand.
"He Shaochen, don't you have anything to say when you see me?"
Qiao Qiao angrily asked as she dragged a heavy box. She looked travel-worn and travel-worn.
He Shaochen's dark eyes suddenly widened. He reached out and poked Qiao Qiao's cheek. It was soft and warm. "It's just like the real thing …"
"I'm real!" Qiao Qiao slapped He Shaochen's hand away angrily.
"…"
"What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? You don't have any reaction? " Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen's calm and even expressionless face. She couldn't help but frown. She pinched her chin and looked He Shaochen up and down. She guessed, "Are you going down the decadent path recently? You didn't cut your hair or shave your beard. Are you planning to go down the path of a slovenly, decadent uncle? If that's the case, I advise you to forget it. He Shaochen, you don't suit this style at all. I think you should … "
Before Qiao Qiao could finish her words, she fell into a not-so-warm embrace.
"Hey! You're hugging me too tightly. I can't breathe … "
He Shaochen was still hugging Qiao Qiao tightly. He leaned his head on Qiao Qiao's shoulder and whispered, "You're back. You're really back …"
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. Then, she slowly reached out and hugged He Shaochen's waist.
That day, after she and Freya boarded the plane.
When Freya saw the plane take off, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although there was an unpleasant episode, in the end, Qiao Qiao still chose to go back to J Country with her.
Everything was on the right track. Soon, she would be able to take back everything that belonged to them.
She turned around and looked at Qiao Qiao. Thinking of her reaction just now, she was more or less worried. Even she thought that Qiao Qiao would go back with Father He to see He Shaochen. She didn't expect that she would choose her in the end.
She was filled with emotions and decided to treat Qiao Qiao well in the future.
Freya squeezed out a smile. She reached out to touch Qiao Qiao, but found that her body was trembling slightly. She couldn't help but jump in fright.
"Qiao Qiao …"
She saw Qiao Qiao tightly covering her mouth. She was trying her best to suppress her cries. Her lips were bitten by her teeth and blood was seeping out little by little. Her shoulders were trembling because of this.
Qiao Qiao couldn't suppress the urge to cry. Seeing that she was getting further and further away from this land, from He Shaochen, she couldn't suppress the pain in her heart.
Everything she said to Father He just now was just her deceiving herself.
She wanted to see He Shaochen. She wanted to stay by his side. She wanted to tell him that no matter how deeply he hurt her, her heart would never be able to let anyone else live in it. She would never love anyone else in this life except him.
But she couldn't abandon her responsibility. Too many people were involved in this battle for the throne. She couldn't let her emotions affect her decisions and ruin these people's hard work.
She could only go with Freya.
But her heart felt like it was being torn apart. Whenever she thought of Father He saying that He Shaochen wouldn't be long in this world, she felt like she was going to collapse.
Between seeing He Shaochen and fulfilling her responsibility, she could only choose one.
"Shaochen … Shaochen … Shaochen …"
"Shaochen …"
"Shaochen …"
She wanted to see him. She really wanted to see him.
"Qiao Qiao, do you really love He Shaochen that deeply?" Freya saw that Qiao Qiao was suppressing her longing for him just to fulfill her promise. She couldn't help but feel sad.
She was clearly in so much pain that she wanted to cry, but she was desperately suppressing her cries. She was afraid that she would worry.
What had she done?
Why did she have to force her own daughter to make such a difficult choice? Xu Anting's words circled around in her mind.
"Is the living more important, or is the dead more important?"
Her heart suddenly twitched in pain.
"Qiao Qiao, go see He Shaochen …"
Freya said hoarsely.
She had thought it through. So what if she couldn't take revenge?
As long as she could make her daughter happy, wasn't that enough? The most important thing was still the person in front of her.
No matter how important Luo Vino was, he was already dead. The only thing she could do now was to cherish her daughter.
Although Freya had thought it through, Qiao Qiao didn't directly return to J Country. Instead, she took the token from Charles VII and personally verified it. Together with Marshall and the others, she ascended the highest stage of the J Country.
Today.
She was no longer called Qiao Qiao. Instead, she was called Lilith Lampedusa Charlie. She was the second in line to the throne of J Country, the only child of Prince Luo Vino.
After confirming her position in J Country, Qiao Qiao handed over her decision-making power to Freya. She let them temporarily take over her royal privileges.
After everything was settled, it was already five days later.
She rushed back to A Country by plane that very night. However, she found out that He Shaochen was no longer in Family He's main residence. He even resigned from He Conglomerate's position.
Now, she didn't even know where he was.
Because Family He was hostile towards her, they were unwilling to tell her He Shaochen's whereabouts. In order to find He Shaochen's residence, Qiao Qiao spent a lot of effort.
However, the heavens didn't disappoint the faithful. She finally found him in this border city.
