I was stunned. I looked at Duanmu Que and said softly, "What do you mean? Don't tell me you don't want to hold her accountable? "
Duanmu Que smiled and said, "Of course we will hold her accountable, but we don't want to hold the Red Minghui accountable. Actually, father's acquisition of the shares and projects of the Black Nightmare Group was a loss. That is to say, even if it reaches the Red Minghui, these projects may not necessarily bring you profits. To put it bluntly, they may even cause you to lose even more money. The funds from father's acquisition of these projects is just enough for us to maintain our operations in Kurosawa. That is enough."
"Xiao Que …" I looked at Duanmu Que and felt that he wasn't very happy to say this.
Duanmu Que stood up and walked to the window. Then he said softly to me, "Xiao Li, I don't want to hide it from you. Actually, my father did want to sue your father, but I insisted that he not do so, so he gave up. Indeed, he isn't young anymore, and after that incident, his health has been getting worse and worse. He can't take any more blows. Now, he is peacefully enjoying the rest of his life. In his apartment in Kurosawa, his mother is always by his side. He is living a happy life, without any worries. Although at first he wasn't very used to it, and every day he would make a fuss about coming to Kurosawa, he got used to it as time passed. Now, as long as Xinyao has time, she will come home to accompany him. His mood can be considered stable."
"But why did you give up? Why did you give up on suing the Red Minghui? As long as you had Secretary Li as a witness, the lawsuit would have been successful. So why did you give up? "I couldn't understand Duanmu Que's actions.
Duanmu Que shook his head and said, "If we had really sued you, you would have become what we are now. That is not what I want to see. Although the two of us are separated, I want you to live a happy life. My parents and I have already accepted this fact. Besides, there is nothing wrong with living a peaceful life right now. In fact, my father knows better than anyone that before Secretary Li stole the funds, the Kurosawa's internal turnover was already in trouble. So, regardless of whether Secretary Li took action or not, the Black Skeleton Group is no longer viable. But regarding the matter of her stealing our group's funds, I will not be lenient. Of course, she has to take the blame for this, I can't let her get away with it." Duanmu Que clenched his fists tightly. He looked very angry.
I lowered my head, unable to stop the tears from flowing down my face. In a soft voice, I said to Duanmu Que, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. My abilities are limited. I'm sorry …" I cried even harder, but I didn't know what to do.
Duanmu Que turned around and walked to my side. He patted my shoulder and said softly, "Don't blame yourself. I know you've done your best, so I don't blame you. I really understand you, Xiao Li. Believe me, we will definitely live a good life. You have to live well too. Han Hao treats you well, and I'm very satisfied." I didn't answer him. I just lowered my head and continued to cry. Duanmu Que gently patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go. We should take care of business. We've spent too much time alone with you. Xiao Hao's imagination will run wild again."
I followed behind Duanmu Que and left his office. Han Hao and the others were waiting in the reception room outside the door. When they saw me and Duanmu Que walk in, they all stood up. The Red Baron looked at me. I nodded and motioned for the Red Baron to hand over Secretary Li to Duanmu Que. The Red Baron nodded and brought Secretary Li to Duanmu Que. The Red Baron said softly, "I'll leave it to you. Handle it properly. I hope you won't implicate Milady. You know we care about her the most."
Duanmu Que beckoned for one of his men to take Secretary Li from the Red Baron and bring him away. Duanmu Que looked at the Red Baron and said, "Of course. I've already discussed it with Xiao Li. This matter won't implicate the Red Minghui. As long as Secretary Li is brought to justice and we receive the appropriate compensation, we won't pursue the Red Minghui's responsibility."
"That's for the best. Milady has already given up her status as the Red Minghui's successor. If she still doesn't let the Red Minghui off, then it would be too much."
"Red Baron!" I didn't expect the Red Baron to say the truth. I shouted loudly. The Red Baron quickly shut his mouth.
However, Duanmu Que and the others still heard me. Duanmu Que asked me loudly, "What did you say? What do you mean by giving up her status as the successor? What's going on? Xiao Li, don't interrupt. Red Baron, tell me the truth. "
The Red Baron turned to look at me, unsure whether he should say it or not. At this time, Han Hao reached out and pulled me into his arms. He looked at the Red Baron and said, "It's okay. You can just say it."
The Red Baron sighed and looked at Duanmu Que. "In order to bring Secretary Li to you, Milady verbally agreed to give up her status as the successor of the Red Minghui. In other words, the succession of the Red Minghui will have nothing to do with Milady, and she will no longer be a member of the Red Minghui. Milady used this to assure the President that the Kurosawa incident wouldn't implicate the entire Red Minghui. That's why the President agreed. So, if you really target the Red Minghui, Milady's personal safety might be in danger. After all, she is no longer a member of the Red Minghui. I think you can understand how much benefit Milady has given up. All of this is for the best of both worlds. To be honest, I don't think anyone here would make such a huge sacrifice. So, Duanmu Que, I hope you can keep your promise and not implicate the Red Minghui."
Duanmu Que clenched his fists. He looked at me and said softly, "Xiao Li, why are you so stupid? Why did you give up your status for someone who isn't worth it? My heart aches for you. Go back and tell Father that I won't implicate the Red Minghui. Let him reinstate your status as the successor. If that doesn't work, I can write him a letter of promise. "
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, saying, "Forget it, there's no need. I'm tired. There are so many things to do at the Red Tea Party, and I'm pregnant. I don't want to work too hard. From now on, I'll live peacefully with Han Hao. Let him do whatever he needs to do. A normal life is better than anything else. This is the life I want."
"You're pregnant?" Duanmu Que's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it.
Han Hao nodded. "Xiao Li is really pregnant. We just found out, but we all support Xiao Li's decision. She can do whatever she wants. As for her status as the successor of the Red Minghui, it doesn't matter. As long as she's happy."
"Congratulations," Duanmu Que said with a smile. However, I could see that his smile was a little stiff.
The incident with Secretary Li was finally over. After that, Duanmu Que and his family seemed to have evaporated. I never saw them again. The Red Baron and Yang Xize were finally together. The two of them never left my side. Xinyao gave birth to a daughter who was as beautiful as her. She walked out of the shadow in her heart and lived a low-key life with Suri. As for me, I gave birth to a son for Han Hao. I left my parents' side and took my family away from this noisy city. I never wanted to come back because I didn't want to remember everything that happened here …
