There are no true gods.
The gods you perceive are merely a salvation, a straw to grasp, a glimmer of hope that cannot be called hope itself, when your heart is on the verge of collapse.
Zheng Qian's hope is not Zhao Xiaoyue, nor can it be Zhao Xiaoyue.
The Zheng family is like a leech, or an apple snail in a rice paddy. Once parasitized, it sucks blood and can infect people with bacteria and parasites.
To be honest, Zhao Xiaoyue was one of the few people Zheng Qian wanted to be friends with.
However, I remembered that I had a friend before, and just three days after she introduced her to her parents, my friend had an accident.
Family destroyed and people killed!
“Zheng Qian, know your place, or I’ll make you wish you were dead. You need to know that you are my daughter, Zheng Xiqiang’s daughter, and you will inevitably have to contribute to the family in the future. The fact that I’ve tolerated your outrageous behavior is already a huge favor…”
It was then that she truly realized how terrible her relatives were, and that she was already in hell.
Zheng Qian said calmly to Zhao Xiaoyue, "Stay as far away from my affairs as possible. Understand?"
Mr. Zhao said for the last time, "I have the ability to settle you down properly."
As long as Zheng Qian herself wants to leave this place.
Zheng Qian, wrapped in a thin shirt, shook her head, "You can go!"
"Have you made your choice?"
"Let's go."
Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I've already given you face, haven't I?"
Zhao Xiaoyue made a swift move, poking Zheng Qian somewhere without anyone knowing where, and before Zheng Qian could even be surprised, she had already fainted.
Zhao Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. Wasn't she a god?
nonsense!
She is certainly not a god; she is Master Zhao, a figure feared by all!
Of course, she claimed to be terrified at first sight.
"If it weren't for your important position in room 306, I wouldn't bother with you."
Zhao Xiaoyue muttered something as she walked outside and called out, "Hua Zi!"
Bodyguard Hua Zi immediately entered and shouted, "Take the helm!"
“Yes,” Zhao Xiaoyue pointed to the person inside, “Take her away and settle her in.”
Hua Zi was only stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what he meant, "Yes!"
Situ Ming asked, "Have you thought about how you plan to handle this?"
"Young man, do you know what leeches are most afraid of?"
Those cunning, bright eyes made Situ Ming's blood boil.
He cursed himself inwardly for being useless, and asked with feigned curiosity, "What?"
Zhao Xiaoyue replied cryptically, "Boiling water!"
Hua Zi had just carried the person out of the bedroom when he thought it was vinegar or sulfuric acid!
Zhao Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes, shooting out a fierce light.
"Scald her to death."
Banquet Hall
Zhao Jingjing, arm in arm with Xiao Xiaoming, was impeccably dressed and attracted a lot of attention. She truly deserved the title of social butterfly.
"Mr. Xiao, cheer up! This is the perfect opportunity to expand your network, don't miss it!"
Xiao Xiaoming took a sip of his drink. "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Zhao. I'm very curious about something, and I hope Miss Zhao can enlighten me."
Zhao Jingjing smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're joking. Please go ahead."
"You and Zhao Xiaoyue are completely different people, how did you end up hanging out together?"
This means that Zhao Jingjing lives entirely by pleasing men and has sold out everything she could.
Zhao Xiaoyue couldn't stand seeing such things happen. How so?
Zhao Xiaoyue gave Xiao Xiaoming the feeling of blazing sunlight. In his limited interactions, she was like a carefree and unrestrained bird, or a hunting eagle, dangerous yet wanting to hold onto him tightly.
People from different places would never have any interaction, but Xiao Xiaoming stared at the crowd of people in the banquet hall, and it seemed that they had a pretty good relationship.
How exactly can he enter her world?
Being young, they really don't know how to hide their emotions.
He said those words aloud, and although his voice was very soft, Zhao Jingjing still caught it.
Zhao Jingjing showed no emotion, but smiled first, "President Xiao, I'd like to see if I can answer your question."
"What?"
Zhao Jingjing placed the champagne in her hand on a table. She was trying to come up with some words, but there was really nothing to prepare. She was just thinking about how to say them in a way that would be both tactful and not hurtful.
After much deliberation, I realized that it's better to just be straightforward.
"Because you're dirty."
It was a concise and clear sentence, the meaning of which was obvious, but Xiao Xiaoming didn't understand what it meant.
He frowned deeply. "What do you mean?"
Zhao Jingjing then stated succinctly, "If, and I mean if, there were an opportunity in front of you that could turn your life around, an opportunity that could be easily turned around without you having to pay any price, would you seize it?"
Xiao Xiaoming only thought for a moment, "It's impossible if there's no cost involved, because there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Zhao Jingjing nodded. "What if the condition is your marriage? And it stipulates that as long as you turn your life around, this marriage will be null and void, you will still be you, and she will still be her. Would you still take it?"
Because in their eyes, marriage is the cheapest thing, while interests and rights are the only permanent guarantees.
The question raised by Zhao Jingjing is seen by most people as a windfall, an opportunity that is hard to come by.
Xiao Xiaoming's gaze was solemn. "If such an opportunity truly arises, I will seize it without hesitation."
He was surrounded by wolves and tigers, living a life driven by self-interest. There was nothing he couldn't agree to in order to stand openly at the top of the pyramid.
Although he disdained his brother's actions, he had to admit that the Xiao family had never been humiliated before.
