Chapter 821 She is your only daughter
Qiao Xi fell into deep thought.
Grandpa Cheng has paid a lot for his daughter, so she can only try her best to calm Cheng Qingnian down.
Cheng Qingnian seemed to be stuck in a dead end. She would not give up until she saw Lu Bannong's heart was completely broken. Only then would she consider starting over. She was now filled with resentment, love and hate, and could not calm down.
Seeing her dilemma, Huo Xingzhou said, "It's better to let go than to block. Adults should be responsible for their own choices. You are not related to her, so there is no need to bear the consequences of her actions."
"But Grandpa Cheng..."
"Mr. Cheng was able to retire from his high position and spend decades in a small village. This shows that he is an open-minded person and he doesn't want to embarrass you."
"But I'm afraid he'll be sad."
Huo Xingzhou asked back, "No matter how sad I am, is it as sad as hearing the news of my own daughter's suicide more than 20 years ago?"
That’s not the case.
Huo Xingzhou rubbed her palm and said, "Qiao Xi, if Cheng Qingnian does something extreme, this time, Mr. Cheng will just treat it as if his daughter died many years ago. He is used to living alone. Let's see what Cheng Qingnian can do and when she can wear away the last bit of father-daughter love."
Cheng Han is a person who can distinguish right from wrong.
Qiao Xi also knew it, but she was reluctant to let the old man feel sad and blame himself.
"I'll go see the master first."
"Go ahead."
Qiao Xi nodded, pushed open the door of the next room and walked in.
Huo Xingzhou gently closed the door and called out softly, "Sun Weimeng."
Sun Weimeng straightened up quickly: "Here."
"Go get Cheng Qingnian a cell phone and get her some identity paperwork done. Let this person appear in front of everyone."
"Okay. But if she holds a phone, won't she... cause more trouble?"
"Let her do whatever she wants. Good words can't persuade a damned ghost. If she really wants to do something, our persuasion will be useless. We can only let her bang her head against the wall until she bleeds."
What's more, Cheng Qingnian made the matter worse.
The Lu family is also in trouble.
"Okay, I'll buy her a cell phone. Not only that, I'll also equip her with a laptop. I'll also arrange everything for her so she can do whatever she wants. Do you want bodyguards when she goes out?"
"No need. Let Lu Bannong arrest him if he wants. He's not worthy of being a threat anyway."
This is really cruel!
The Lu family's fate is already determined.
Huo Xingzhou didn't have so many concerns.
Just Cheng Qingnian, no different from a stranger in his heart.
The Lu family is now being watched by so many media, so they shouldn't kill Cheng Qingnian.
Unless Lu Bannong really doesn't want to live anymore.
After hearing what Huo Xingzhou said, Sun Weimeng said, "I'll go take care of everything right now and see if there's any hope for this love-brained person."
"Um."
In the room.
It was dark.
Qiao Xi walked in quietly, only to find that Cheng Han had already woken up.
She turned on the soft light at the bedside and called out, "Grandpa Cheng."
Cheng Han propped himself up and sat up and said, "Is it dark outside?"
“It’s not completely dark yet.”
"Then turn off the lights and open the curtains for me."
"good."
Qiao Xi followed his instructions and opened the curtains. It was still somewhat clear outside. The room was dim, and such darkness seemed more suitable for hiding people's expressions and the truest thoughts in their hearts.
Cheng Han stood up, his steps a little unsteady.
He poured himself a glass of water.
Qiao Xi noticed that his wrist holding the teapot was trembling a little, and water was dripping onto the coffee table.
Cheng Han's voice was filled with a somewhat desolate smile: "I'm old too, really old."
He used to refuse to accept his old age and would run up the mountain even at an old age.
They are all over eighty years old now.
He encountered another life-and-death crisis, and it seemed as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away.
All of a sudden, people look much older and less energetic.
Qiao Xi sat across from him and consoled him, "You just haven't taken good care of yourself. After a while, you'll be as healthy as before."
"Did Cheng Qingnian cause you any trouble?"
"Aunt Qing..."
"You don't have to address her like that. She's not worthy of being your elder yet. Her personality and temper are the same as before, nothing has changed. Her head is still full of straw, and she's become even more confused after lying there for over twenty years. Is she clamoring to see Lu Bannong again?"
"Not at the moment. She was persuaded by Young Master Sun." Qiao Xi comforted, "Don't worry too much about her. I think she's recovering well. And our Huo family will keep an eye on her."
She didn't know that Huo Xingzhou planned to let Cheng Qingnian fend for herself and provided her with a way to go out.
Cheng Han sighed, "I'm sorry to bother you. You saved my daughter and me, but now I'm the one cleaning up the mess. If she really wants to see Lu Bannong, just send her away. My daughter died a long time ago, and what's left is just a shell."
From the moment Cheng Qingnian fell in love with Lu Bannong, she had embarked on a path of no return.
Cheng Han saw through it.
But I feel a little uncomfortable deep down.
"Grandpa Cheng, she is your only daughter."
"It's a sin, let her go."
"You really don't care?"
"No matter." Cheng Han felt heavy in his heart.
He was heartbroken by Cheng Qingnian.
She actually said that if he had agreed to the marriage, she and Lu Bannong wouldn't have reached this point. Perhaps, their family could still be reunited.
She thought that her father was chasing fame and fortune and was unwilling to give up power, nor did he want Lu Bannong to take the position, which led to the current situation.
Twenty-eight years!
She still refuses to repent!
Whether it was sincere or spoken without thinking, Cheng Han was tired.
Looking at his stubborn expression, Qiao Xi said, "What if it's a matter of life and death? Last time, Lu Bannong only released the news that she was still alive, and then you returned to the imperial capital. Don't tell me you really don't care about her life or death."
Cheng Han remained silent.
"Grandpa Cheng, you may not care how she lives. But you at least hope that she is alive."
"Qiao girl, tell the truth."
Cheng Han looked at her and said, "You hold a much higher position in my heart than she does. If you two have a dispute, or if I have to sacrifice you to save her, I will never agree to it. Do you understand? If she becomes a big trouble to you, I hope you will just leave her alone."
When Qiao Xi heard these words, a warm current seemed to flow through her heart.
She nodded and said okay.
She sat in the room for a while and then left.
…
And in the hospital ward.
Lu Yingxue was unconscious, her face pale.
The Lu family had shown some mercy to her, placing her in a high-class ward. The room was quiet, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Sweating all over.
It was like having a very long nightmare.
Then.
Suddenly woke up!
When she came back to her senses, she saw a man beside the bed looking at her with interest.
She was terrified!
