Pay Back in Your Own Coin
Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes. She looked in the direction of the clinic and murmured, "I just don't want to live my life in a daze …"
Those people had played her like a fiddle. She couldn't just let it go.
Pay them back in their own coin. That was her principle.
An Ziyan's leg had recovered very well. He was now able to move around. When Qiao Qiao walked in, she saw An Ziyan leaning against the wall, taking small steps.
"Oh? So this is the kid you've been taking care of. He's not bad looking. "
An Ziyan looked in the direction of the voice. He saw two similar looking women standing at the door. One was Qiao Qiao. The other was a woman who looked sixty to seventy percent similar to Qiao Qiao. She looked more mature than Qiao Qiao, with the charm of a mature woman. She was beautiful and flamboyant.
He knew that this person was Qiao Qiao's mother, the Princess of J Country, Freya.
"Qiao Qiao, you are …"
"My mother insisted on coming to see you. Did she disturb you?" Qiao Qiao's words were apologetic.
"How could that be?" An Ziyan shook his head. He immediately revealed a charming smile and said to Freya, "It's an honor to meet you, the honorable Princess."
"You know me?"
"Who wouldn't know the beautiful and noble Princess Freya?" An Ziyan answered smoothly. It was as if his mouth was smeared with honey.
Freya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She was 1.72 meters tall. Wearing ten centimeter high heels, she looked very daring. She walked in front of An Ziyan. She lifted his chin and smiled, "You are much more likable than He Shaochen. Your mouth is very likable."
The corners of An Ziyan's lips curled slightly, and he smiled calmly. "Seeing a beauty like you, even a block of wood would be able to talk."
Freya also laughed heartily and said, "You are really an interesting person. Lilith is right. You do have the potential to be a playboy. You can seduce women with just your mouth."
An Ziyan's eyelids twitched as he looked at Qiao Qiao. "Is this how you introduced me to your mother?"
Qiao Qiao blinked. "Is it wrong?"
"I've stopped being a playboy for many years!" An Ziyan inexplicably wanted to leave a good impression on Freya. Didn't people say that a son-in-law would have a hard time getting past his mother-in-law?
"So, you were really a playboy in the past?"
An Ziyan: "…"
Qiao Qiao said matter-of-factly, "That's right. I've seen him a few times before, and he always had different women by his side. I heard people in the circle say that he changes women as casually as he changes clothes."
"Hey, Qiao Qiao, you can't slander me like this!" An Ziyan's face darkened. He said, "In front of your mother, can't you say something good about me?"
"Let me think …"
Qiao Qiao rubbed her chin and seriously thought about it. An Ziyan was originally looking forward to Qiao Qiao talking about some good points, but she thought for a long time and didn't say a word. An Ziyan's heart was broken.
"No way, you can't think of all my good points?"
"Is looking like a pretty boy considered a good point?"
Qiao Qiao thought for a while and asked.
An Ziyan: "…"
Why didn't you say that I was gentle, considerate, and talented. Why didn't you say that I was extraordinary?
Freya looked at An Ziyan and said, "I heard from Lilith that you want her to be your girlfriend, right?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, An Ziyan was stunned. He looked at Qiao Qiao. He didn't expect her to tell Freya this. Qiao Qiao seemed to know what An Ziyan was thinking. She shrugged. "If I don't make it clear, Freya won't let me be with you."
"What? You want to pursue my daughter, and you don't want me to know? "
Freya raised her eyebrows.
If it was a normal relationship, An Ziyan wouldn't care. But his situation with Qiao Qiao was so special, and his methods were a little despicable. How could he say these things out loud?
He said dryly, "I just want to wait until my relationship with Qiao Qiao is confirmed before I tell you."
"Is that so?"
Freya smiled. She said to Qiao Qiao, "Lilith, go out first. I have something to talk to him alone."
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She looked at An Ziyan and gave him a look that said, "Good luck." Then she turned and left.
Only An Ziyan and Freya were left in the room.
The smile on Freya's face faded a little. An Ziyan understood that Freya was still very wary of him. The smile just now was for Qiao Qiao. As soon as Qiao Qiao left, she changed back to her original form.
"I've investigated you. You are the son of the An family. Andol is your sister. He Shaochen killed her. After that, the An family also declined under He Shaochen's influence. Since then, the An family has been removed from the list of big families."
An Ziyan's eyes darkened. He smiled faintly. "Your highness knows very well."
"After all, someone deliberately tried to get close to my daughter. It's reasonable for me to investigate that person's background."
Freya stated the truth. She stared at him and said, "Actually, I don't believe you at all. An Ziyan, ask yourself honestly. Will you really not take your anger out on Lilith? What is your motive for getting close to her? "
"I like her."
"Ha."
Freya sneered. "Then when you like Lilith, do you feel guilty? I want to know if Andol will come to see you at night. "
Faced with Freya's aggressiveness, An Ziyan smiled. "If Your Highness thinks that I will harm Joe Qiao because of this, then you can rest assured that I will not take my anger out on her. On the contrary, Andol did something wrong. If she didn't attract the mercenaries, she wouldn't have been killed. Joe Qiao was implicated and almost died in the explosion. I know all of this. I don't hate her, only feel sorry."
"These words are so dignified."
"I'm serious."
When An Ziyan said this, his expression was very serious.
Freya continued, "I hope you know that Lilith definitely can't forget He Shaochen now. At least, she still hates him. We are not pure people. I know very well what methods you used to get her to date you. I know more about those little tricks than you do. In the eyes of the world, unscrupulous means to achieve one's goal may be despicable, but I will not deny it. Because I am the same kind of person as you."
When she was in the assassin's organization, she had done even more unforgivable things.
An Ziyan smiled. "I didn't expect Your Highness to be such a reasonable person."
"Don't be happy too early. It's because of this that Lilith probably doesn't treat you with sincerity. She just wants to use you to attack He Shaochen."
"She really hates He Shaochen?"
An Ziyan couldn't believe it.
"Haven't you heard of the saying that deep love leads to deep hatred? He Shaochen slept with another woman and had a child. This is a stain that Lilith will never forgive. He threw her feelings to the ground and trampled on them. Do you think she will still love He Shaochen? "
Freya's words were reasonable and there were no loopholes.
An Ziyan's smile deepened, with a touch of unknown emotion. "So, the purpose of your visit is to make me lower my guard?"
"She wants to take revenge on He Shaochen. I can understand and support her. But this is only one of the purposes."
"Then there are other purposes?"
"As for the other purpose, I hope you think carefully. Lilith is married and has two children. Those two children are He Shaochen's children. Can you really tolerate everything about her? To be honest, I don't agree with your unreasonable request, because I think Lilith will be wronged. If we cooperate with you, we can show enough sincerity. There is no need to sacrifice her feelings … "
"I can tolerate."
An Ziyan interrupted Freya. "My feelings for her are not pure, but she is the only woman who has moved my heart."
Freya nodded. "Oh, that means you are even more unreliable. You are a man who acts based on feelings. Because she is the only woman who has moved your heart, you want to get close to her. This life is still long. If you meet another woman who moves your heart in the future, what will Lilith do?"
An Ziyan: "…"
"We want to form an alliance with you with sincerity. As long as you can defeat He Shaochen, we can provide you with resources, manpower, and even more. But you don't need Lilith to use her feelings as the price."
An Ziyan: "…"
Freya continued, "What you said to Lilith before, just ignore it, okay?"
An Ziyan opened his mouth and said, "… Princess, I am serious about Joe Qiao."
"But I can't tell how serious you are from your actions."
"More than five years, is that not enough to prove it?"
An Ziyan asked.
Freya raised her eyebrows. An Ziyan said, "For more than five years, I have been by Joe Qiao's side. Is that enough?"
"What do you mean?"
"The reason why I was able to easily bring Qiaoqiao out of the heavily guarded Royal Family's laboratory building was because I had been hiding there for more than five years. During those days, I had been guarding her day and night. I believe that a moment of impulse wouldn't have been able to achieve this, right?"
This time, it was Freya's turn to be silent.
An Ziyan continued, "I don't plan to pretend that I didn't say those words. If you want to form an alliance with us, then I only want Joe Qiao."
"Are you serious?"
"Very serious."
Freya's lips curved into an imperceptible smile. "Okay, then I will give you a chance."
Qiao Qiao leaned against the window without blinking. She saw a car parked in the parking lot outside the clinic. That car belonged to He Shaochen.
Every time she came to find him, He Shaochen would definitely follow. He was no different from a stalker.
The more anxious he appeared, the more calm Qiao Qiao became.
Previously, she said that she must let him experience the feelings she had experienced. She thought that it was "for your own good", but in fact, this forced kindness would only make him suffer more.
He Shaochen also noticed that Qiao Qiao was leaning against the window and looking in his direction. He called her.
Qiao Qiao's phone rang. He Shaochen's number had long been deleted by her, so the caller ID showed that it was a stranger. However, she knew his number by heart. Having a good memory was actually not a good thing.
At this time, Freya walked out and found her.
"Lilith."
Qiao Qiao heard the sound and closed the window. She turned around and hung up the phone. She smiled and asked, "Mom, how did it go?"
Freya smiled confidently. "You don't trust me?"
Qiao Qiao went forward and hugged her. "Mom, thank you."
"As long as it is your request, I will not reject it."
Qiao Qiao smiled. Her smile was meaningful.
