Chapter 43 Qiao Wanwan Kneels
"Xiaoge, come here."
Qiao Xu'an didn't look back and directly called out Qu Ge's name.
He didn't seem surprised at all, as he had known she would come.
Now that he has been discovered, Qu Ge has no need to hide anymore.
She took a deep breath, walked over, and got straight to the point.
"What happened to your dad?"
"Stroke."
On the third day after Qiao Jingren was taken away by the police, Qiao Xuan brought his lawyer to the police station to meet him.
After just ten minutes of meeting, Qiao Jingren, the richest man in Jiangzhou City who once had all the power, became paralyzed due to a stroke and became the half-human he is today, helpless and at the mercy of others.
No one will know what Qiao Xu'an said to Qiao Jingren during those ten minutes...
Seeing Qu Ge, Qiao Jingren reacted even more excitedly.
He seemed to want to say something to her, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.
His trembling hand suddenly reached out to Qu Ge, scaring her so much that she stepped back.
Qiao Xu'an stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, he can't hurt you anymore now."
Again?
Qu Ge frowned.
The only time she and Qiao Jingren met was the day he went to Qu's house to find Qiao Xuan.
Although he had a bad attitude at the time, he didn't do anything excessive.
Qiao Xuan's words really puzzled Qu Ge.
She didn't know that not long ago, Qiao Jingren had wanted to kill her.
She stirred up trouble online and teamed up with Qin Shuzhi to cause the Qiao Group to lose over 10 billion yuan.
That incident undoubtedly crossed Qiao Jingren's bottom line.
Qiao Jingren has an iron fist and can't tolerate any injustice.
He wanted Qu Ge to shut up, and the best way was to make her disappear from this world completely!
If Qiao Xuan hadn't stopped him, Qu Ge would have probably met with an accident long ago.
It was Qiao Xuan who proposed to marry Qu Ge, and used the public announcement of their marriage as a pretext to cover up the online scandals, which convinced Qiao Jingren.
Qiao Jingren promised to give him three days to resolve the matter, otherwise he would take action himself.
But Qiao Jingren would never have thought...
Three days later, Qiao Xuan had removed him from his position as chairman of the Qiao Group and was imprisoned in the police station on charges of corruption and bribery.
Qiao Xuan will not let go of anyone who wants to harm Qu Ge.
Qiao Jingren is also good.
Liu Yuan, too.
Anyone who dares to touch him will only end up dead!
Looking at Qiao Jingren's current appearance, Qu Ge felt mixed emotions.
She felt inexplicably frightened.
She discovered Qiao Xian's secret, and she didn't know if he would...
"I came to pick you up and come to see him."
Qiao Xuan spoke, interrupting Qu Ge's thoughts.
Qu Ge was stunned: "Pick me up?"
"Didn't we agree to have dinner together tonight?"
Qiao Xuan'an spoke in a gentle voice, a change from his previous cold attitude towards Qiao Jingren.
Qu Ge shuddered.
She didn't tell Qiao Xuan that she came to the hospital today, but he knew her whereabouts clearly.
The hospital garden, which was always bustling with people, was now deserted except for them.
Qiao Xuan had already ordered the area to be cleared.
His men stood guard around.
The reason why she was able to come in was because of his tacit consent.
Qu Ge was really fed up with the feeling of having his every move monitored.
She frowned unconsciously and turned sideways to avoid Qiao Xu's hand on her waist.
"Does Qiao Wanwan know he is here?" she asked him.
"She doesn't know yet." He asked her, "Do you want her to know?"
How would Qiao Wanwan react if she knew that her parents, who loved her the most, had been harmed like this by her most trusted "brother"?
Qu Ge really wanted to see her collapse with his own eyes.
Qiao Xuan's dark eyes were bottomless, as if he could see through the darkest and most evil side of her heart at a glance.
"If you want, I'll have someone bring her here right now."
Qiao Xian did what he said.
A phone call.
Qiao Wanwan was sent here from the Qiao family mansion.
When Qiao Wanwan heard the housekeeper say that he would bring her to see Qiao Jingren, she was ecstatic.
She was happy all the way in the car.
But she would never have imagined that her father, whom she cared about so much, would become like this!
"Dad! What's wrong with you?!"
Qiao Wanwan rushed to Qiao Jingren and burst into tears instantly.
When he saw his daughter, Qiao Jingren showed a hint of surprise between his eyebrows, but it was quickly replaced by fear.
He was so anxious that his brows were twisted into a knot, and he kept making "hmm" sounds whose meaning was unclear, as if he was urging Qiao Wanwan to leave this place quickly.
But Qiao Wanwan didn't understand.
Even if she understood, she had nowhere to escape now.
She anxiously grabbed Qiao Xu'an's hand: "Brother, what happened to Dad? Didn't the news say that he was arrested by the police? Why did he become like this?!"
"Don't worry, he just had a stroke and is paralyzed. He won't die."
Qiao Xuan replied indifferently, his tone as cold as ice.
Qiao Wanwan stood there in a daze, staring in surprise.
She couldn't believe that such words came out of Qiao Xuan's mouth.
He clearly respected Qiao Jingren the most in the past.
Sometimes when she was in a bad mood and lost her temper with Qiao Jingren, Qiao Xuan would immediately frown and scold her for being disrespectful.
But now, Qiao Jingren has become like this.
But he just said indifferently, "I can't die"?!
Qiao Wanwan was extremely anxious. She grabbed Qiao Xu'an's collar and yelled, "What do you mean by 'can't die'? Explain it to me! Why did Dad become like this?! Dad has always been in good health! Who hurt him?! Tell me!"
Qiao Wanwan's shrill voice pierced Qu Ge's eardrums and hurt.
She didn't know whether this woman was really stupid or just wanted to deceive herself.
The answer she wanted was already in front of her.
No matter how much she asked, no one could give her a second answer.
Qiao Wanwan's screams gradually turned into indistinct cries.
Her tears wet Qiao Xian's shirt, which immediately made him frown.
He pushed her away in disgust.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't support herself and fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingren, who was sitting in a wheelchair, became extremely anxious.
He let out a series of dry and terrifying roars at the top of his voice and struggled to pounce on Qiao Xuan.
But now he can no longer stand up.
Half of his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. He was completely out of control and fell to the ground with his wheelchair.
The wheelchair was tripped and fell on Qiao Jingren, making him groan in pain.
Seeing that he was injured, Qiao Wanwan ignored the pain and staggered to her feet to help him.
But her thin arms could not lift a completely paralyzed adult man, and it was in vain even if she used all her strength.
She pulled Qiao Jingren's shoulders and pulled him up, crying and begging Qiao Xu'an: "Brother, please come and help me, help Dad up! Dad is injured! This wheelchair is too heavy, I can't lift it..."
Qiao Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears as she begged again and again.
But Qiao Xian remained indifferent.
He stood there, folding his hands and looking at the helpless father and daughter in front of him, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Qu Ge couldn't help but frown.
She thought that seeing the Qiao family suffer the consequences of their own actions would make her feel happy.
But now, not only did she not feel relieved, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
She was terrified by Qiao Xuan's indifference towards the father and daughter of the Qiao family.
Only now did she realize that what she had been facing was not a human being, but a cold-blooded and ruthless monster!
…
After leaving the hospital, Qu Ge always kept a distance from Qiao Xuan.
She resisted him from the bottom of her heart.
She couldn't even just comply superficially.
Qiao Xian was used to her indifference.
He took her to her favorite restaurant and kept picking up her favorite dishes for her, but still couldn't get a smile from her.
He was getting a little impatient.
Just then, Baichuan called and said that there was an urgent matter at the company.
The mess left from the last dinner has not been cleaned up yet. These days, Qiao Xuan has been busy dealing with public pressure and is overwhelmed by a bunch of messy things.
He no longer had the heart to coax her, and frowned: "Eat by yourself, I'll go back to the company."
"good."
Qu Ge didn't even lift his eyelids.
Now that he was gone, she had some peace and quiet.
No appetite.
After eating a few bites, Qu Ge returned to Xichuan Yue.
When the elevator door opened, she was startled.
Qiao Wanwan squatted at the door with disheveled hair, looking like a ghost in a movie.
Hearing the sound of the elevator, she raised her head, with tears still on her face.
"Qu Ge..."
She spoke, her voice hoarse from crying for so long.
Qu Ge frowned warily and didn't dare to move forward.
"What do you want to do?"
"I……"
Qiao Wanwan hesitated for a moment, hesitating: "Can you ask Qiao Xuan to let my parents go? I, I know I have offended you. If you have any grievances, just come to me. Don't hurt my parents, okay? I beg you!"
"I?"
Qu Ge couldn't help but laugh.
After all this time, Qiao Wanwan actually felt that Qiao Xuan attacked his parents because she was instigating it behind the scenes.
She did want to.
But she doesn't have such great ability.
"I think you may have found the wrong person." She said coldly, "If you really want to ask for help, you should ask Qiao Xu'an, not me."
"But if it weren't for you, how could Qiao Xu'an treat my parents like that?! He is their son! He has always respected them the most! It's all because of you...everything has changed since you appeared!"
Qiao Wanwan cried and complained, blaming everything on Qu Ge.
Even now, she still couldn't see Qiao Xuan's true face.
Ridiculously stupid.
Qu Ge sneered: "Your family's current fate is retribution, you can't blame anyone else. I never asked Qiao Xu'an to do anything, you overestimate me."
"Impossible! It must be you!" Qiao Wanwan interrupted Qu Ge hurriedly, "Qiao Xu'an has been deceived by you and will listen to whatever you say! He has gone crazy a long time ago! He is not my brother at all!"
"Think what you will. Anyway, I can't help you now, and I won't be able to help you."
Qu Ge was too lazy to waste time talking to Qiao Wanwan.
She turned around and wanted to go downstairs, but Qiao Wanwan suddenly rushed over and blocked the elevator door that was about to close with her palm.
Her delicate skin turned red from being pinched, but she seemed to feel no pain at all.
With a plop.
She actually knelt down in front of Qu Ge!
