Hua Yue Qing closed her eyes in despair. As expected, this man only thought of himself, his greatest love being himself.
It was clearly his fault, yet his words now were pushing her into a wrong corner.
Hua Yue Qing gave a bitter laugh. This was the man she had loved her entire life.
Only now did she truly see his heart.
It was a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but Hua Yue Qing also knew that this divorce wouldn't be that easy to achieve.
Hua Yue Qing didn't want to deal with Qiao Yun Long. She got up and returned to her room to get her luggage. She had long anticipated this outcome, so before talking to Qiao Yun Long, she had already packed her bags, ready to go back to her parents' home.
Seeing Hua Yue Qing about to leave, Qiao Yun Long's eyes revealed a viciousness.
Now, both Qiao's company and he himself needed this woman the most. He wouldn't let her leave so easily.
A fierce glint flashed in Qiao Yun Long's eyes.
He had been trying to appease this woman, but unexpectedly, she refused the offered kindness and chose defiance.
If that was the case, then he couldn't be blamed for being impolite.
Qiao Yun Long called out to the servants.
The servants understood his intentions and quickly hid Hua Yue Qing's luggage, then confined Hua Yue Qing to her room.
Hua Yue Qing had lived in the Qiao family for so many years, and she had truly underestimated Qiao Yun Long.
She didn't know when the Qiao family's servants had been bought over by Qiao Yun Long, to the point that they dared to obey his orders so readily. As soon as Qiao Yun Long's command came down, they paid no heed to anything else and quickly confined her.
In that instant, Hua Yue Qing was consumed by anger and a chilling heart. The man she had loved her entire life turned out to be such a person.
It was a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken.
Qiao Yun Long knew Hua Yue Qing wouldn't help him. It didn't matter; he could go to the Hua family himself.
What Qiao Yun Long didn't expect was that as soon as he left the Qiao residence, Li Qin, along with Fu Hao, went to the Qiao family to cause trouble for Hua Yue Qing.
Li Qin's appearance only made Hua Yue Qing even more furious.
Hua Yue Qing's entire body trembled.
She looked at Li Qin and cursed, "You shameless woman, you're already married, why are you still seducing other people's husbands?"
"So what if I'm married? Who said you can't fall in love after getting married? Yun Long and I are truly in love."
Li Qin's brazen words completely enraged Hua Yue Qing.
Hua Yue Qing disregarded everything else and walked up to Li Qin, raising her hand to strike her.
But before Hua Yue Qing could make a move, Li Qin preempted her.
Li Qin looked down at Hua Yue Qing and sneered, "Look at yourself. A hag, and you still think you're some princess untouched by worldly affairs? If you don't disgust me, I'd get nauseous."
Hua Yue Qing looked coldly at Li Qin. If someone from the Hua family were present, they wouldn't have let her endure such humiliation.
Li Qin took a step forward, leaning close to Hua Yue Qing's ear, and said triumphantly, "Let me tell you, even if you go to Yun Long to complain, he'll still stand by my side. I've also given birth to a child for Yun Long, though not with Fu Hao. Therefore, the Fu family won't divorce me. After all, Fu Jing Bin is waiting for Fu Hao to inherit the family fortune. But I also gave birth to a child for Yun Long, and Yun Long wouldn't bear to abandon me. Compared to me, you seem quite pitiful."
Hua Yue Qing had never met such a shameless person. Looking at Li Qin, Hua Yue Qing wished she could tear this woman to pieces, but she was still too frail and no match for Li Qin.
Qiao Wei was unwilling to divorce He Yun just like that.
She planned to use the child to threaten He Yun and went to the He family to find him.
However, on her way, Qiao Wei collided with a Porsche.
Those who could afford a Porsche were either wealthy or noble.
No matter how brainless Qiao Wei was, she wouldn't dare to cause trouble at this juncture.
Qiao Wei got out of the car, intending to resolve the issue peacefully with the Porsche owner.
But as she approached the Porsche, Qiao Wei was shocked.
Because the person sitting in the passenger seat was Yan Xi.
Qiao Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.
How was this possible? The sea was so deep, yet it hadn't swept Yan Xi away.
Why was Yan Xi still alive?
As if startled, beyond the shock, Qiao Wei felt a wave of panic.
Yan Xi was alive, so would she also testify about the things she had done?
Qiao Wei couldn't allow even a single mistake. She looked coldly at Yan Xi, trying to discern something from Yan Xi's eyes.
But Yan Xi wasn't looking at Qiao Wei. She didn't even greet her, as if she didn't know Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei looked at Yan Xi and tentatively asked, "I accidentally bumped into you just now. I can compensate you. Tell me, how much do you want?"
"It's okay, you didn't do it intentionally. Besides, cars nowadays have insurance, and the insurance company will handle the claims."
Yan Xi's voice was soft and distant, revealing no emotion.
After speaking, Yan Xi looked at Xiang Jing Chen in the driver's seat and said, "Let's go."
Xiang Jing Chen started the engine and drove Yan Xi away.
Qiao Wei was left standing there, unable to recover for a long time.
Qiao Wei's heart was filled with unease.
She wasn't sure how Yan Xi had been rescued, nor if Yan Xi genuinely didn't recognize her or was pretending. If Yan Xi was pretending, Qiao Wei found it terrifying. But if Yan Xi was truly unaware, then there was nothing to fear.
Qiao Wei returned home in a daze. She no longer had the mood to see He Yun.
In this situation, Qiao Wei had to seek help from Qiao Xue. Only Qiao Xue wouldn't harm her.
When Qiao Wei returned home, Qiao Xue frowned upon seeing her flustered state and asked, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Weren't you going to see He Yun? Why are you back so soon?"
More than seeing a ghost, if Qiao Wei had seen a ghost, she might not have been this terrified. But she had seen Yan Xi.
In a state of delirium, Qiao Wei told Qiao Xue everything. After finishing, Qiao Wei narrowed her eyes, a cruel glint flashing within them. Like a venomous snake, she said menacingly, "Sister, what do you think? Is Yan Xi a persistent evil? I pushed her into the sea, so why is she still alive? How can she be so lucky, to survive that?"
Qiao Xue examined Qiao Wei and said indifferently, "From now on, don't say such things."
Qiao Wei paused, then understood the meaning of Qiao Xue's words.
She tugged at Qiao Xue's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have a way? You must help me. I can only trust you now."
"I do have a way. It depends on whether you're willing to listen to me."
Qiao Xue looked at her sister and couldn't help but speak.
"I promise, Sister. Whatever you say, I'll agree to it."
Qiao Wei was now at her wit's end. How could she not follow Qiao Xue's arrangements?
