Chapter 331
He yelled in a stern voice next to his ear, just short of grabbing a bottle of wine from the nearby convenience store and smashing it over the man’s head.
He really was crazy!
Why would a man like that be released from prison? And why was he still in such a high position? Were those people blind?
After roaring several times, at last, this man, whose chest was filled with killing, had a slightly clearer consciousness.
Then, he looked at the woman under his fingers and froze for a moment.
“Nancy, are you alright?”
Seeing this, Qiao Shiqian immediately took this opportunity to rush Wen Xuxu, who was under this madman, out of the way.
Wen Xuxu was saved, which was like a fish on the verge of death, finally thrown into the water, covering her neck and just breathing heavily, even her fingertips, she was trembling.
She had just …… come really close to dying.
“Mummy ……”
Little RuoRuo saw at this time that Mommy had been saved, and also shouted with a cry in Daddy’s arms.
When Qiao Shiqian saw this, he went over to carry the child again.
But suddenly, Huo Sijiu seemed to be awake again, he saw the hands reaching towards the child, and immediately, he held her and reflexively dodged away.
“What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Huo Siji, I’m saving your baby, don’t you know what you were doing? Hmm?”
Qiao Shiqian’s gaze went cold, and at this moment, he stared at this man, surprisingly revealing a hint of pity.
Wen Shuxu, who was still covering his chest, heard this and immediately turned his head to stare at him.
Qiao Shiqian: “……”
“Save my child? So, you even know exactly what’s in me? Qiao Shiqian, what kind of person are you? You can always show up at the most crucial moment after I quarrel with her, and give her all the back roads laid out, tell me, what exactly is your purpose? Is it just to get her as a person? Or is there a bigger conspiracy?”
It never occurred to me that after having just gone through such a huge emotional upheaval, this man was actually not stimulated in the face of Qiao Shiqian’s those words.
On the contrary, he suddenly asked such a question without panicking.
The man’s face immediately changed dramatically!
And Wen Shuxu, even more so, looked at him once more, only, this time, the look in his eyes was no longer one of mere trust, but more of a hint of shock.
There was also an incredulous anger.
Qiao Shiqian saw it clearly, and at once, he panicked: “Nancy, listen to my explanation ……”
“Explain what? Explain that you actually knew her a long time ago? Or to explain that you, the Lord Shareholder of Cloud One, approached her with a purpose from the very beginning? Qiao Shiqian, did you really think that by stirring up the two of us, she would follow you?”
Huo Sijiu interrupted the man again, his expression seemingly even more sarcastic!
Qiao Shiqian’s entire face finally went white.
He hadn’t expected that after hiding for so long, he would be uncovered by this man on this night, the mantis catching the cicada and the yellow bird in the back, and he had, it seemed, never been the yellow bird.
“Huo-jiu!”
“What? Isn’t that enough? If not enough, I can give you some more.”
“That’s enough!”
Finally, someone put an end to the conversation.
But it wasn’t Qiao Shiqian, but Wen Shuxu, who was staring at the two men with almost frigid eyes, grinding the two words out of her teeth.
Huo Sijiu then meekly stopped talking.
And Qiao Shiqian, too, was there with his heart in his throat, waiting for his execution.
The situation had come to this point, and no matter from which point of view, Wen Shuxu should indeed abandon him and go back to Huo Sijiu’s side.
However, to everyone’s consternation, after Wen Xu Xu had finished reprimanding these two words, the next moment, she actually landed her gaze directly on Qiao Shiqian: “It’s time to board the plane.”
Qiao Shiqian: “……”
It was as if that dead heart had suddenly come to life again, he nodded ecstatically and immediately picked up the luggage on the floor.
On the contrary, Huo Sijiu on this side, was directly dumbfounded.
Or rather, he didn’t anticipate this outcome at all, so much so that he was still dumbfounded when both of them turned around and left with their luggage.
The child in his arms began to struggle violently in his hands when he saw that his mommy had left: “Mommy, mommy–”
Why?
Why was this happening?
He finally woke up as if from a dream, then holding the child in his arms, he once again exploded with emotion and rushed over like a madman, reaching out and grabbing the woman and yanking her hard again towards his body.
“Why? Wasn’t it clear enough what I said ……?”
He tried his best to stifle the terrible violence in his heart, scarlet eyes, staring at this woman word by word and asking.
Wen Shuxu’s face was as white as paper.
She saw the blood red that came up again in his eyes, and she also saw the colour of his whitening lips, yet she still mustered up the courage.
“Because compared to what your father and son have done to me, he this, is nothing at all, Huo Sijiu, do you know how easy it is for me to have my family broken compared to this?”
“……”
There was no more sound.
At this moment, these words, which were like knives, pierced into the man’s heart, and he finally felt the coldness of extinction and the darkness, like the light of the world had gone out.
So, this was hell.
Chapter 332
He closed his eyes and took a step with the staggering-
“Ruo Ruo!”
Wen Shuxu immediately shrieked in shock.
Luckily at this time, Qiao Shiqian was quick with his eyes and caught the falling child.
When Wen Shuxu saw this, she breathed a long sigh of relief and lifted her head. She was about to scold this man when she found a drop of warmth suddenly falling on her cheek.
I was surprised to find that it was dripping from the man’s still-closed eyes.
Those eyelashes were so beautiful ……
It was like two rows of small fans, thick and slightly curly, all in beautiful shadows at the eye sockets, but at this moment, it was like wet butterfly wings that kept trembling lightly.
“Goodbye, Wen Shuxu.”
He finally let go of her gently, and then, turning around, walked away, his steps hobbling, but he never looked back.
Wen Xuoxu watched in awe.
It was only when the man’s figure was no longer visible in the waiting hall for a long, long time that it was as if something had been stripped raw from her body.
The sharp pain that tore through her heart came, and she swayed, finally covering her own chest and crouching down as well.
They …… were finally over for good.
—
When Luo Yu drove her car to find Huo Sijiu, it was almost dawn.
The weather had been rainy in early spring in city A, and this night was no exception. Luo Yu had searched all the way over, originally thinking that the man would be at the airport.
But she never thought that she would see him halfway.
The man was walking like a walking corpse, he wasn’t driving, and behind him, for dozens of miles, there was no one in sight, he was just stumbling along step by step in that heavy rain.
Was he really mad?
Did he not want to die?
She jumped out and rushed towards him: “Huo Sijiu, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Walking alone on the highway in such heavy rain! Don’t you want to die?!!!”
She was full of anger.
And this anger was mixed with a hint of panic and fear that she had never felt before.
But this man seemed to be blind to her, his gaze was hollow and his face was ashen in the pouring rain, and his lips were covered by the cold rainwater.
What is it? A woman had hurt him like this?
Where was his old swagger? Where is his former arrogance? He was Huo Sijiu, the king of this city!
Luo Yu’s eyes finally turned all resentful.
“How could she turn you into such a person? What right does she have to turn you into this? You’re the one I saved, the one I raised for eight whole years, who is she to?!!!”
Her teeth creaked together and finally, raising her hand, she pressed her finger heavily in a spot on the back of the man’s neck after he attempted to struggle again.
Immediately, he collapsed limply.
Collapsed into her arms.
“Don’t be sad, I won’t even remind you of such a thing in the future, let’s live our happy life, shall we?”
Luo Yu looked at the man who had finally quieted down in her arms, she murmured ……-
Wen Xuoxu also got on the plane.
She cried over, and her emotions reversed and calmed down quite a bit.
When Qiao Shiqian saw that, he wanted to come over and add a blanket to mother and daughter, after all, the cabin late at night, it was still a bit cold.
However, he had only just come over when he heard the woman say in the flattest, and coldest tone: “After you get off the plane, don’t let me see you again.”
Qiao Shiqian: “……”
It was like a sudden pot of cold water pouring down from the top of his head, all his fluke and elation, at this moment all sank to the bottom once again.
“Nancy, I ……”
“Deception is indeed nothing compared to a broken home, but it doesn’t mean that I, Wen Xuxu, will really pretend that nothing has happened, Qiao Shiqian, you have lied to me for so long, just now I used you, to get even, you should never appear in front of me in the future!”
Wen Shuxu raised his head, still with a pale little face, like ice and snow covered, cold enough to make people shiver, not to mention that the pair of Jianshui autumn pupils, at this time shot out only the cold indifference sharpness that is not close to half human feelings.
Qiao Shi suddenly lost all his blood.
Even?
He finally understood that it wasn’t that she didn’t care about his deception, nor that she had chosen him in that contest between two men not long ago.
Rather, it was that she had put him on the back burner.
First she had used him to settle Huo Sijiu, and then now it was his turn to settle the score after the autumn, and that was the more ruthless one.
Qiao Shiqian’s entire body was like falling into an ice cellar: “Nancy, is this necessary? I did lie to you, but then I didn’t hurt you. For so many years, although I have been by your side in every way possible, everything I did was just to protect you.”
“Protection?” When Wen Shuxu heard these two words, it was like hearing a joke about how funny it was.
“Why do you need to protect me? I’m not related to you, do I need your protection?”
“Of course, from the time I was twelve years old, when I fainted from hunger at school and you were the only one who gave me a piece of bread, at that time, I only had one goal left, never let you get hurt in any way in this life!”
Qiao Shiqian he had a lump in his throat, and suddenly, he spoke of such an incident back then.
