Chapter 631 Did you know?
Actually, after Lin Xi did that, the punishment for Feng Jiao was already enough.
Qiao Xing never intended to kill her.
That's why, when Qiao Xing learned of her death, he felt nauseous for some reason.
She opened her mouth, about to speak, when a wave of nausea surged up.
She quickly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
"Ugh—" Qiao Xing gagged.
She didn't know why she was reacting so strongly.
Perhaps having witnessed too many lives slip away before her eyes, she could no longer remain indifferent or unmoved.
Feng Jiao did do something wrong, but she was ultimately just a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He was born in the prime of his youth, but died by his own hand and by the hand of his parents.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Ce squatted down next to Qiao Xing, gently patting her back. After she had vomited most of it, he handed her a glass of warm water.
"Get up first, the ground is a bit cold."
Qin Ce helped her out of the bathroom and onto the sofa in the living room.
Qiao Xing drank a few sips of warm water and felt much better.
"Feng Jiao is dead," Qiao Xing said.
"Yes, I know."
Qiao Xing looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?"
Qin Ce said calmly, "Because of what you just said."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself. Yes, she had mentioned it on the phone, and she had completely forgotten.
"With injuries like that, the chances of waking up were already slim. Don't overthink it; this has nothing to do with you."
Qiao Xing shook her head. "I'm not blaming myself. I just feel that life is unpredictable, and sometimes you really don't know what will happen next."
Although Feng Jiao was hateful, Qiao Xing did not want her to pay the price she deserved with her life.
Along the way, she witnessed many people starting new lives, and also witnessed countless lives connected to her disappear.
Because she lacked parental love, she was often regarded as a "cursed star," as if she was born with bad luck. No matter who she was, once they got involved with her, they were bound to become unlucky.
Qiao Xing didn't care about these things before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he realizes that he has experienced too many things and met too many people along the way.
But it seems that none of these things had a good process or a good ending.
Qin Ce stayed by Qiao Xing's side and gently brushed the stray hairs behind her ears.
“Many things have their own laws and inevitable results since they have happened. You don’t need to dwell on these things. Even if Feng Jiao hadn’t had the car accident, her life might not have been peaceful.”
Everything has two sides. You may not be able to accept the current outcome, but another outcome may not necessarily be good.
Qiao Xing understood the reasoning, but she still felt a tightness in her chest.
Perhaps because she's pregnant, she always gets caught up in these unnecessary worries.
Qin Ce reached out and rubbed her head. "Alright, stop thinking about it. Whether it was good or bad, this matter is over. Don't mention it again."
Qiao Xing took a deep breath, trying to detach himself from his current state.
She seemed to have thought of something and asked Qin Ce, "Are you aware of what happened with Feng Nian?"
Qin Ce pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I can probably guess."
Qiao Xing looked at him in surprise, "You guessed it?"
It's not unjust for Feng Nian to be investigated; it was only a matter of time before he couldn't hide what he had done.
But he has never dared to do it because of his status.
Because the network of interests behind Feng Nian is too complex, and everyone here is in the business world, no one would do a deal that would make them lose money.
Although Feng Nian's downfall has greatly benefited many people, the risks involved are too great, and no one dares to risk their careers on such a gamble.
Hearing this, Qiao Xing asked in confusion, "If it's not you, and it's not me, then who could it be?"
"His wife."
"You mean Zhao Ru?" Qiao Xing asked, somewhat incredulous. "Why would she do that?"
“After Feng Jiao’s accident, I went to see Feng Nian and Zhao Ru.”
Qin Ce explained to Qiao Xing the reason why he gave Feng Nian and Zhao Ru that sum of money.
If this matter continues to escalate, only Lin Xi and Qiao Xing will be affected.
Therefore, he did not want to fight evil with evil, so this money was considered as payment for Feng Nian to settle the matter peacefully.
Although Qin Ce meant well, Qiao Xing felt it was a pity to waste such a large sum of money.
Feng Jiao got what she deserved, and she wasn't worried at all that Feng Nian would resort to desperate measures to come knocking on her door.
Feng Nian will find a way to retaliate, but she is not a lamb to be slaughtered.
She has plenty of ways to deal with them.
Qin Ce smiled and said, "Silly girl, there's no need for you to go through all this trouble if you can solve things with money."
Qiao Xing used to be frugal and always felt that money should be spent wisely.
Giving it to someone like Feng Nian is really letting him off easy.
After Qin Ce said so much, Qiao Xing could roughly guess the reason.
"So, you suspect that the couple argued over this money, and then, along with Feng Jiao's situation, all the problems piled up and exploded, leading Zhao Ru to report Feng Nian in a fit of anger?"
Qin Ce nodded. "More or less." He said, "Even if it weren't for that money, Feng Nian would have suffered at Zhao Ru's hands sooner or later."
Although Feng Nian and Zhao Ru have been married for many years, Feng Nian relied on Zhao Ru's support and companionship when he was working hard in the early days, which is why he has the family he has today.
But how many businessmen, or wealthy men, will not go astray?
Feng Nian has done quite a few dirty tricks in the business world over the past few years.
Zhao Ru endured it all.
Firstly, because he was unwilling to accept the hardships and bitterness he had endured in the past; secondly, because of Feng Jiao.
Feng Jiao's personality has been spoiled by them. Zhao Ru dares not think about how Feng Jiao will live if she and Feng Nian divorce one day.
Therefore, Zhao Ru turned a blind eye to everything Feng Nian did, both in the company and in private.
On several occasions, Zhao Ru witnessed this herself, but she acted as if nothing had happened and continued living with Feng Nian.
And the facts were pretty much as Qin Ce had guessed.
From the moment Feng Jiao first got into trouble to Feng Nian's various attitudes, Zhao Ru had already been enduring it all.
Now that Feng Jiao is dead, Feng Nian quickly returned to normal after a brief period of grief. It's unclear whether he was running away or felt that his future would no longer be affected. He didn't even wait for Feng Jiao's body to be cremated before rushing back to the company.
His actions completely extinguished Zhao Ru's feelings for him.
Her guess was right; this man only cared about himself. Whether it was his daughter or his family, he always came first.
After Feng Jiao's incident, everything he did was to protect himself. How much of it was for Feng Jiao's sake?
