022 turned a gentle light pink, circled around Jiang Rong twice, and said, "Teacher Jiang, I support your decision."
Jiang Rong slowly stretched out his hand to touch it, but his fingers just sank into the pink halo and could not touch anything.
She stared at the ceiling for a long time before saying, "022, I'm actually a little scared."
[What are you afraid of?] 022 asked curiously.
Jiang Rong covered his heart and frowned slightly: [I don't know either... but my subconscious tells me that the best choice now is to leave here and never come back.]
022: [Then why didn’t you leave? ]
Jiang Rong smiled and murmured, "Maybe... it's because my subconscious is telling me that if I leave now, I will completely lose something very important."
She turned over while hugging the quilt and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about these things of yours anymore, go to sleep."
022 landed beside her pillow and said, "Teacher Jiang, I hope you can be happy more than I hope you can live."
Jiang Rong was stunned.
When I first met you, I just thought of you as a piece of data. 022 said: So I wasn't interested in your life story. I just wanted to match the hero and heroine together. But after being with you and experiencing your life firsthand, I realized that you've suffered so much injustice.
You are no longer cold statistics, but my friend. 022 said seriously: So rather than just continuing to live, I hope you can truly find happiness in your limited life.
Jiang Rong closed his eyes and said, "What you say now is more humane than many people."
022 said: [These are all things you taught me. I have a strong learning ability.]
Jiang Rong was stunned.
So in 022's eyes, this is the kind of person she is.
Perhaps after so many years, the monster in the sea of corpses and blood has also learned how to treat its own kind gently.
…
Qiao Yixiuan came out of the police station in a daze.
Jiang Panyu put a coat on her and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. We'll think of a solution..."
Qiao Yixuan shook her head and said, "There's no other way."
She watched the heavy rain falling from the sky, her face full of fatigue. "The person who reported it has complete evidence. Your uncle will not be able to escape imprisonment."
Jiang Panyu couldn't help but say, "The other party has so much evidence, it must be someone close to my uncle. Who is harming my uncle like this? What benefit does it bring to him?"
Before Qiao Yixiuan could answer, another thin figure came out.
When they got closer, Qiao Yixiuan realized that it was Qiao Zhaodi.
"Zhao Di, is your father okay now?" Qiao Yixiuan asked.
Qiao Zhaodi said meekly, "Don't worry, auntie, Dad is fine now."
Qiao Yixuan felt slightly relieved. She looked at Qiao Zhaodi for a moment and suddenly said, "Zhaodi, do you still remember Mr. Geng, the person your aunt took you to see last time?"
She held Qiao Zhaodi's hand and said, "Mr. Geng's family has someone working in the system. If Mr. Geng is willing to help, your father might be able to escape this disaster. The last time I took you to see him, he liked you very much."
Qiao Zhaodi drooped her eyelashes and said nothing.
Qiao Yixuan couldn't help but blame her in her heart for being dull and tactless, but the smile on her face was still warm and affectionate. She said, "Zhao Di, you are old now, it's time for you to get married. I think Mr. Geng is a good candidate."
"Although he's a bit older, his two sons are already adults and have taken over the company. If you marry him, you won't have to bear children or take care of them. You can just be a wealthy wife. How wonderful it would be! Such a life is something many people would envy."
Seeing that Qiao Zhaodi still kept her head down and didn't speak, Qiao Yixuan became a little unhappy and said, "Zhaodi, you don't think that just because you studied for two more years, you can ignore your family, do you? Even if you get married, the people closest to you are still your parents and your brother! Xiaoxun is like that now. If he knew that such a big thing happened at home, how would he bear it?"
Qiao Zhaodi finally spoke: "Auntie really loves Xiaoxun."
Qiao Yixuan frowned and said, "What are you talking about? I am Xiao Xun's aunt."
"Then if something like this happened in the Jiang family, would you let Pan Yu marry a notorious old man just to save her uncle?"
Qiao Yixuan's expression changed and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qiao Zhaodi looked at her stubbornly: "Aunt, can you?"
Qiao Yixuan froze.
No matter how much she dotes on her daughter, in her opinion, a daughter is not as important as a son. If that day really comes, will she marry Jiang Panyu off?
"...It's all made up. Why are you saying this?" Qiao Yixuan felt guilty and didn't even dare to look at Jiang Panyu's expression. She said, "The most important thing now is to rescue your father! I'll contact Mr. Geng tomorrow and you can meet again."
Qiao Zhaodi smiled, still looking docile. "I went through so much trouble to send him in, why should I rescue him?"
Qiao Yixuan and Jiang Panyu were both stunned.
Qiao Yixuan said in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
Qiao Zhaodi smiled and said, "I told you, I handed all that evidence to the police, and I was the one who reported Qiao Zhouyi. I wish he would die immediately, so why would I save him?"
No wonder… no wonder the whistleblower even had access to those core confidential documents! Turns out there's a mole in the family!
Qiao Yixuan's eyes widened as she pointed at Qiao Zhaodi and cursed, "That's your biological father! How could you do such a ruthless thing?!"
Qiao Zhaodi slapped her hand away and said coldly, "I'd rather be an orphan than be Qiao Zhouyi's daughter!"
"Speaking of which, Auntie, you and Qiao Zhouyi are indeed biological siblings. Birds of a feather, equally selfish and cold-hearted. The only difference is that you're better at pretending than he is!"
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Qiao Zhaodi curled her lips and looked at Jiang Panyu. "Panyu, as your cousin, I want to advise you to be careful with your mother. You never know when she might sell you out too."
Jiang Panyu felt a chill on his back.
Qiao Yixiuan's evasive attitude when answering Qiao Zhaodi's questions before had already made her feel very uncomfortable, and now Qiao Zhaodi's words had planted a seed of doubt in her heart.
Qiao Yixiuan...will she abandon her just like she abandoned Jiang Rong?
Jiang Panyu instantly fell into great panic.
It was not until now that she realized that no one in the entire Jiang family truly loved her.
Jiang Peihong's love came from the prophecy of Tianyue Star, Jiang Nian's love came from her lies, Jiang Ci treated her well because he was her brother, and her mother...
Did Qiao Yixuan truly love her, or was she subconsciously trying to make up for Jiang Rong, who she had abused for over a decade?!
Jiang Panyu was covered in cold sweat and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Qiao Yixiuan.
Qiao Zhaodi was right, she needed to keep a distance from everyone, otherwise she would end up like Qiao Zhouyi!
