"It's because Miss Xuehui is already like this that we have something to say, and we should say it."
Mr. Jiao pursed his lips tightly, his expression unpleasant. "Ms. Lin, I deeply sympathize with your family's situation, but I'm sorry. I'm a businessman, and the price I need to pay to help you is beyond the reach of my Jiao family. Therefore, I don't want to get involved in the dispute between you and the Chu family."
"You came to me, but I'm afraid you found the wrong person."
Lin Chunhuan wasn't surprised by Mr. Jiao's blunt refusal, but his eyes darkened slightly. "So, Mr. Jiao is ready to let Miss Xuehui's matter go?"
“You are a businessman, yes, but you are also a father.”
"Of course, you might say I don't understand you, but Mr. Jiao, I also have a father."
Lin Chunhuan's tone was calm, even though she felt uncomfortable. Seeing Mr. Jiao's fists suddenly clenched, it felt like her heart was also clenched.
The atmosphere between the two of them fell silent. After a long while, Mr. Jiao's clenched fists gradually relaxed. "There is no evidence to prove that Xuehui's case is related to the Chu family."
"I won't reveal Miss Lin's identity to anyone. If you want, you can continue to be Xuehui's tutor, but that's all."
Seeing Mr. Jiao preparing to leave, Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Mr. Jiao, you must know how my second sister died."
"I buried my second sister with my own hands. Everything Xuehui encountered, my second sister had experienced before!" Lin Chunhuan bit her lip and walked a few steps to Mr. Jiao. "Whether this matter has anything to do with Chu Xi, you and I know it very well. You can deceive yourself."
"But if you insist on marrying Xuehui to the Chu family...Mr. Jiao, Xuehui is your only daughter. Do you really not want her?"
Feeling that Mr. Jiao's breathing was becoming increasingly disordered, Lin Chunhuan stopped. Too much is as bad as too little, and pushing too hard might not necessarily have a better effect.
"I have no choice."
Mr. Jiao's tone was filled with helplessness and pain. "Ms. Lin, have you seen those people who used to work for the Lin family?"
"Over 2,000 people lost their jobs and became homeless overnight. You saw it with your own eyes, and you know exactly what that means! I have nearly 10,000 employees at Jiao!"
"If the Jiao family is gone, how will those people survive?!"
"I feel sorry for my daughter, but this is not a right or wrong choice. No matter which choice I make, it will be wrong. I can die with Xuehui, but if tens of thousands of people lose their livelihoods, I..." Mr. Jiao choked up and his eyes were red.
Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyelids slightly.
She also understood Mr. Jiao's helplessness.
Sometimes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Outsiders can only see their glamour, but cannot see the pressure and responsibility behind the glamour.
"You may have misunderstood."
"What I mean is, if you agree, I am willing to replace Xuehui and marry into the Chu family. Of course, if the Chu family finds out about this, the Jiao family will indeed face great risks."
"It's a good thing there's still some time left before the divorce."
Lin Chunhuan turned around and stood where Mr. Jiao had stood at the beginning. He raised his head and looked towards Xuehui's door. "During this time, I will stay with Xuehui as Julia."
"If you ever have an answer, you can..." Lin Chunhuan said halfway, she did not notice the confusion in Mr. Jiao's eyes, and suddenly frowned.
He murmured softly, "Xue Hui?"
"What?"
"ah!"
Before Mr. Jiao could react, a shrill scream broke the peace of the entire Jiao family. Lin Chunhuan watched helplessly, but had no time to stop it, and his face turned pale.
Mr. Jiao was even more direct. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
Xuehui committed suicide.
She walked out of the room, turned and gave her father a last gentle smile, then jumped over the fence without hesitation.
The whole process was smooth and fast without any hesitation.
Overnight, Mr. Jiao, a eloquent businessman, became silent, and the elegant Mrs. Jiao seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.
The servants of the Jiao family were well-trained. Even though such a big thing happened, not a single word of it leaked out, and outsiders watched from the outside.
The entire Jiao family is no different from before.
"Sister Huan, you...don't blame yourself too much. That girl is determined to die. Even if you give her ten thousand amulets, it won't help. No matter how powerful you are, you can't stop someone who wants to die."
"I know."
Lin Chunhuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Before calling Mr. Jiao away, she stuffed a peace amulet under Jiao Xuehui's pillow. In her eyes, that girl had always been optimistic, clean and pure.
She didn't expect that Jiao Xuehui would seek death.
"I don't blame myself. This has nothing to do with me." Lin Chunhuan said calmly, but the amulet had been crumpled into a ball of waste paper in her palm.
Mr. Jiao agreed to Lin Chunhuan's proposal.
Not only did he agree, but this time he was the one who brought it up.
"Two requests."
Mr. Jiao's eyes were red as he came to see Lin Chunhuan. This was the first time he spoke since Xue Hui's death. "First, no matter what you do, you can use the Jiao family's influence, but you can't really implicate the Jiao family."
"Okay." Lin Chunhuan nodded.
She just needed this identity. From the beginning to the end, she never thought of dragging the Jiao family into the water, not to mention that she used the identity of the eldest daughter of the Jiao family. It was impossible for her not to be implicated.
Since she dares to think so, she must have the ability to do it.
If she doesn't even have this ability, then she shouldn't bother messing around. It would be more convenient for her to find a piece of tofu and die as soon as possible.
"Second, I want Chu Xi dead!"
Mr. Jiao gnashed his teeth as he spoke these words, his whole body trembling. "Xuehui will pay back a thousandfold for the suffering she endured!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and said, "For some reason, I can't attack Chu Xi."
This was a rule set before the mission began, and Lin Chunhuan couldn't blatantly violate it. He could only tell Mr. Jiao the truth, "But I can promise you, as long as Chu Xi falls into my hands, I will hand her over to you."
"That's enough."
Mr. Jiao nodded, looking a little dazed.
It's like empathy. If you experience it yourself, it will be a joke. Although Lin Chunhuan felt sorry, he still had to say what he needed to say.
"Mr. Jiao, I'll be away for a while, maybe a week or two weeks, but I'll definitely be back before the wedding. As for Xuehui... could you have her hold the funeral as Julia?"
Mr. Jiao is a smart man who has been able to grow his business to its current level. He nodded and left.
At dawn, the news that the Jiao family's tutor was raped when she went to the clinic to get medicine for the eldest daughter of the Jiao family, and then jumped off the building to commit suicide due to the humiliation, spread throughout the Magic City.
