Chapter 148: Forced into a desperate situation
"Xiaoxiao, what happened? Tell mom quickly. I can bear it. How is your brother now?" Wang Xiurong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and almost scratched Su Xiao to hurt her.
Su Xiao continued to look at her mother with guilt and self-blame, and suddenly, she knelt down in front of her mother.
Wang Xiurong's expression changed drastically, "Xiaoxiao..."
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I hurt my brother. I made you sad. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Su Xiao burst into tears.
Wang Xiurong shook her head and supported her firmly. "I told you it's none of your business. It's your brother's fault. You don't have to blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you."
"No, if it weren't for me knowing Yun Che, Zhao Jiaying wouldn't have dealt with my brother. If I hadn't said those words to my brother on impulse that day, my brother wouldn't have tried to assassinate Zhao Jiaying. Now Yun Che is even trying to find a way to put my brother in jail. My senior said that once the higher-ups make the ruling, he might have to serve five years! Five years, Mom!" Su Xiao cried bitterly and finally told the story.
Wang Xiurong was completely frozen after hearing this.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, calmed Su Xiao, and said, "Don't cry, you're pregnant, don't get excited!"
"But..." Su Xiao felt guilty.
"Mom understands how you feel, but this is not your fault. Please don't take all the responsibility on yourself. If you really want to blame someone, you can only blame fate!" Wang Xiurong was obviously in pain, and she felt heartbroken and angry about the fate her son was about to face.
But I still have to take care of my daughter.
This is the power of maternal love!
Besides, it’s not my daughter’s fault. How can I let her bear such pain?
"Xiaoxiao, don't cry. Let's think of a way. There is always a way!" Wang Xiurong kept saying.
A little later, the doorbell rang.
Gao Chengze came over.
He was still worried about her, so he hurried over to check on her.
Sure enough, the situation was worse than he thought.
He quickly comforted Su Xiao, then expressed his thoughts in front of Su Xiao and Wang Xiurong, "Yun Che probably did this because of the Zhao family's request. Now we can only use that incident to negotiate with Yun Che. Yun Che is the Zhao family's designated son-in-law. The Zhao family will definitely take his reputation into consideration and will probably compromise."
"What if they don't compromise?" Wang Xiurong asked immediately.
"I don't think they will refuse to compromise. Of course, nothing is absolute. If they really refuse to compromise, we can act accordingly. Right now, this is the only option left, so we have to go ahead."
This is really the only bargaining chip at the moment.
Although Wang Xiurong also felt very embarrassed, she had no choice at this point.
Morality and feelings have become unimportant. Besides, they were the ones who bullied others first, and now it is clear that they want to kill us all. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about morality with them?
Wang Xiurong has always been strong and calm after going through many storms, but she doesn't know whether her silly daughter can make up her mind.
Indeed, when Su Xiao heard Gao Chengze once again suggest that Yun Che use the incident of Yun Che forcing her to reconcile, she still found it hard to accept and was filled with deep sadness.
I didn't expect it to come to this, and still be in such a confrontational situation.
By then, Yun Che would definitely hate her to death.
I remember that when he said he let her go completely that day, he also said - let the beauty of the past remain in memory.
That time was not only a beautiful memory for her, but also a happy one for him. Now, if they continue to confront each other like this, those beautiful memories will be destroyed.
But if he didn't do this, his brother would definitely go to jail for five years.
How will my mother live these five years?
How is my brother suffering in prison? And after he comes out of prison, can he still live a good life in the second half of his life?
Su Xiao looked at her mother's eager and sad eyes. It was obvious that she hoped she could make such arrangements. She closed her eyes, finally made up her mind, and nodded in agreement.
"But Mom, I want to talk to him in person." Su Xiao said later.
Wang Xiurong was startled, and after exchanging a glance with Gao Chengze, she replied, "Okay. But remember your own health. The baby is the most important thing. No matter what you hear or see, don't get excited. Remember what your mother said. It's no big deal. The most precious thing in your life is still in your hands!"
"Yes, I know, Mom!" Su Xiao said, looking at Gao Chengze, "Thank you, senior, for taking the trouble to come here."
Gao Chengze shook his head. "When are you planning on going to find Yun Che? Now? Do you want me to go with you?"
Su Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Just take me to the company entrance."
Without further ado, everyone said goodbye to Wang Xiurong and left home.
Su Xiao didn't say a word along the way, staring at the scenes and objects passing by outside the window in a daze.
Gao Chengze glanced at her from time to time, but did not say anything and drove quietly.
It takes about 20 minutes to arrive at Yun Group.
Su Xiao asked Gao Chengze to go back first, but Gao Chengze shook his head and said, "I'll wait for you here. I'll take you back after you finish talking. Su Xiao, don't be polite to me, and don't worry about me. I will arrange my time and it won't affect my work."
After hearing what he said, Su Xiao didn't force him. She gave him a look full of gratitude and turned to walk into the building.
Not long ago, Mingli had returned from the hospital and reported the matter to Yun Che. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "President, I just ran into Miss Su Xiao in the hospital!"
Yun Che was stunned.
Mingli continued, "Miss Su Xiao's mother was with her. When they came out of the obstetrics and gynecology department, I asked Miss Su Xiao what was wrong with her. She said it was just a minor woman's problem and she was going for a follow-up checkup today."
Mingli felt a little embarrassed about such an embarrassing thing, but he also wondered if he could ask the president to show some concern or pay attention. After all, if Miss Su Xiao really had some health problems, the president would definitely feel bad.
After hearing this, Yun Che immediately remembered that Su Xiao had mentioned some minor problems with her uterus when she rejected his request for sex a while ago, so he thought it was this. He never thought that Su Xiao was pregnant and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department today for a prenatal check-up!
After a moment of silence, he replied to Mingli calmly, "I understand."
Mingli looked at him and didn't dare to say anything more, so he took his leave.
When he just walked out of the door, he was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure. He forgot some of the situation and asked, "Ms. Su Xiao? Why are you here?"
For the first time, Su Xiao looked at Ming Li with anger. Ming Li was puzzled again and was about to ask again, but Su Xiao interrupted, "Is he in there? I want to see him."
Ming Li heard the anger in Su Xiao's tone and realized why Su Xiao was looking for Yun Che. He didn't expect Su Xiao to know so quickly. However, the situation was no longer under his control. He could only say, "Well, the president is inside. I'll take you in!"
Mingli reopened the door of Yun Che's office and went inside.
Yun Che frowned slightly when he saw Ming Li returning. But when he saw Su Xiao behind Ming Li, he suddenly realized something and his body stiffened noticeably.
Mingli swallowed and whispered, "Miss Su Xiao said she wants to talk to you about something. You two can talk. If you have any instructions, call me back!"
Mingli said this and quickly slipped away.
In the huge office, Su Xiao and Yun Che were left staring at each other in silence for a long time.
