He really felt like a joke.
I never imagined that I, a successful businessman, would be so easily manipulated by a woman. It's utterly ridiculous!
Qiao Yaxiang watched Zhao's father's departing figure, somewhat unable to believe that he would say such a thing about her.
Upon reaching the door, Zhao's father stopped, turned back to look at Qiao Yaxiang, and said coldly, "If I were you, I would be thinking about how to protect myself right now!"
After saying that, he left immediately.
Qiao Yaxiang collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Zhao's father's words lingered in her mind for a long time.
Protect yourself?
She wanted to too!
But Jiaojiao is her only daughter, and as a mother, she can't just sit idly by.
But what can she do now to rescue her daughter?
Now that the Zhao family is no longer reliable, who else can she rely on?
Yu Hua, who had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time, saw Zhao Zhilong walk out with a bad expression, but there was no sound of Qiao Yaxiang behind him.
Once Zhao Zhilong got into the car and left, he was able to go upstairs.
As soon as I entered, I saw Qiao Yaxiang lying on the floor, looking distraught. I immediately went up to her and asked, "Yaxiang, what's wrong? Did that bastard Zhao Zhilong bully you?"
Qiao Yaxiang was lost in her own thoughts and ignored Hua's words.
Yu Hua: "Ya Xiang, what's wrong? Tell me something!"
Yu Hua called her name several times before Qiao Yaxiang's eyes finally lit up.
Qiao Yaxiang slowly looked at Yu Hua and said, "Yu Hua, what should I do to rescue Jiao Jiao?"
Yu Hua asked with some doubt, "Didn't he promise to help you?"
He knew about it; Qiao Yaxiang hadn't hidden it from him.
Qiao Yaxiang burst into tears, "He's just a coward!"
Afterwards, Qiao Yaxiang told Yu Hua everything.
Yu Hua immediately exclaimed, "How could he do this!"
Although Yu Hua was also dissatisfied with Zhao Zhilong, he also had no good solutions.
"Ya Xiang, let's go back first. We can think of something to do when we get back." Yu Hua could only offer this helpless advice.
He was originally just a butler in the Jian family. Although he had been by Jian Mingpeng's side for many years, Jian Mingpeng was suspicious by nature and never trusted the people around him too much. Therefore, he did not have any reliable strength to help Qiao Yaxiang.
Thinking about this, he felt that Jian Mingpeng deserved to die. If he hadn't been such a selfish person, someone might have been able to save him.
...
On the bus, Qiao Yaxiang was in a bad mood, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window.
While waiting at a traffic light, she suddenly saw Zhao Heng coming out of the mall, with a heavily pregnant woman standing next to him. Her expression immediately turned sour.
Qiao Yaxiang turned around and shouted at Yu Hua, "Stop the car."
The traffic light had just turned on when Yu Huacai was forced to stop after starting the car. Qiao Yaxiang immediately got out of the car.
Due to Yu Hua's improper operation, the car behind him rear-ended him. Just as he was about to get out of his car to chase after Qiao Yaxiang, he was stopped by the driver of the car behind him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Trying to run away, huh?!"
"How do you drive? You slammed on the brakes as soon as you started moving. Are you trying to stage an accident?"
I'm telling you, I'm definitely going to call the police on this. Do they really think I'm a fool?!
Yu Hua didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, her eyes fixed on Qiao Yaxiang who was running over, full of worry.
"Then say something! What do you mean?"
Yu Hua turned around and said impatiently, "Surely I'll compensate you for all your losses!"
"What kind of attitude is this? It's clearly your fault, but you're acting like it's my fault. This is not up for discussion! We'll talk about it when the traffic police arrive."
The driver of the car behind was very dissatisfied with Yu Hua's attitude and then took out his phone to call the police.
Yu Hua was thus delayed until this point.
Qiao Yaxiang got out of the car and ran towards Zhao Heng without delay.
Zhao Heng is unaware that danger is approaching.
Zhao Heng walked to a parking space by the roadside and said to Wu Xiao impatiently, "You're about to give birth, and you haven't prepared anything. You keep coming to buy things every day. Aren't you annoyed?"
"Get in the car quickly, or you won't be able to afford the consequences if something goes wrong."
Wu Xiao pursed her lips, remained silent, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
She had already bought everything, and the reason she kept asking Zhao Heng to bring her to the maternity and baby store was because she was hoping to run into Jian Yixue again.
She is now truly desperate.
Whether she's sleeping or going to the toilet, she's always surrounded by people arranged by Zhao Heng. She has absolutely no chance to contact the outside world. Right now, she's under house arrest by Zhao Heng's side.
She also knew that when the baby in her belly was born, that would be the time when Zhao Heng would abandon her, or rather, the time when he would settle accounts with her.
She knew perfectly well that Zhao Heng had no feelings for her at all; he only wanted the child in her womb.
Just as Wu Xiao was about to get into the car, she suddenly heard a sharp, angry voice behind her.
"Zhao Heng!"
Zhao Heng and Wu Xiao turned to look at Qiao Yaxiang almost simultaneously. When Zhao Heng saw Qiao Yaxiang, he was immediately stunned.
Although Wu Xiao knew Jian Jiaojiao, he did not know Qiao Yaxiang, and was initially confused.
Zhao Heng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Aunt Qiao."
He knew about Qiao Yaxiang and Jian Mingpeng's divorce; after all, he had seen some of the rumors circulating online.
Especially since he had always admired Jian Jiaojiao, he wouldn't have chosen to distance himself from her if it weren't for the online public opinion.
Qiao Yaxiang said angrily, "You still know I'm your elder!"
"Tell me yourself, was your engagement with Jiaojiao broken off because of her?"
Qiao Yaxiang was furious when she saw Wu Xiao's belly.
Although Jian Jiaojiao hadn't told her, she had unexpectedly seen two people walking out of the hotel. She would never believe that the two had no relationship.
Jiaojiao?
Suddenly, Wu Xiao thought of something. Could the world really be that small?
Hearing this, Zhao Heng glanced at Wu Xiao. He understood what Qiao Yaxiang meant and then said, "Aunt Qiao, my affair with Jiaojiao has nothing to do with her."
"Unrelated?" Qiao Yaxiang questioned, "Don't think I don't know you've been with Jiaojiao for a long time. How can you do this to her!"
"And you too!" Qiao Yaxiang suddenly looked at Wu Xiao, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.
"You vixen! Don't you know he has a fiancée? How could you do something so shameless? I'll beat you to death!"
Qiao Yaxiang went straight up and shoved Wu Xiao hard.
Wu Xiao was caught off guard and, coupled with the inconvenience of movement in late pregnancy, was pushed to the ground by Qiao Yaxiang.
Zhao Heng didn't react for a moment, but when he looked at Wu Xiao, he immediately realized something was wrong.
He quickly knelt down and asked with concern, "How are you?"
