Chapter 76 Taking Off the Title of Illegitimate Daughter
"Let's meet."
"I'll wait for you at Hanshan Villa."
After receiving Qu Ge's call, He Qing almost doubted his ears.
He couldn't believe that his daughter, who had been so resistant to him the last time they met, was now taking the initiative to ask to meet him.
He Qing drove to Hanshan Villa without any hesitation.
Hanshan Villa is Rong Zhoubai's private property.
Everyone in the family knew that he spent his days drinking and carousing, and was not doing his job.
Jasmine had previously sent people to monitor him day and night, but the news they received in the end always disappointed her.
After a long time, she really believed that her younger brother was an uneducated playboy.
Now, the "eyes" guarding there have long been withdrawn.
He Qing shook off the tail behind him and came to Hanshan Villa.
It’s the same room as last time.
Standing at the door, he hesitated and didn't dare to knock.
The person inside seemed to have heard his footsteps and called out to him, "Come in, I'm waiting for you."
Hearing the voice, He Qing pushed the door open and walked in.
Qu Ge sat on the bed, looking much better than last time.
On the other hand, Rong Zhoubai's face was as black as a piece of charcoal.
He was not paying attention just now and fell into Qu Ge's trap, and failed to stop her from calling He Qing.
Now, He Qingren has arrived, and it is too late to say anything.
He frowned, walked aside and gave the chair beside the bed to He Qing.
Qu Ge pointed to that seat with his eyes: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
He Qing was flattered.
You know, the last time he came, he couldn't get within ten steps of her. He just stood at the door and looked at her from a distance before being driven away.
And this time, she actually took the initiative to invite him to sit down and chat.
How could this not surprise him!
He sat down nervously. Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was already beating fast.
This business tycoon who has been a powerful figure for many years now looks like a child waiting to be lectured by his teacher.
Qu Ge doesn't beat around the bush.
She got straight to the point: "I heard Rong Zhoubai say that you've been looking for me for a long time. I think you really want to make it up to me, right?"
"Of course, I..."
Before He Qing could finish, Qu Ge interrupted him and made a direct request: "In that case, can you publicly acknowledge my identity?"
"public?"
He Qing didn't understand Qu Ge's meaning for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at Rong Zhoubai.
After all, this matter is of great importance.
He and Rong Zhoubai both knew it very well - Jasmine was always worried about Qu Ge's existence. Once she knew that Qu Ge was still alive, she would definitely not let her go!
None of them wanted to put Qu Ge in danger.
But Qu Ge insisted on taking a different approach.
"I know that next week is your and Jasmine's anniversary. I hope you can publicly acknowledge my identity at the dinner."
"I think my mother wouldn't want to see me always bear the title of illegitimate daughter. What do you think?"
Qu Ge has always known how to exploit the guilt of scumbag men.
She had used this trick on Qiao Xuan before, and it always worked.
Now, the same trick is used on her scumbag father, and it is obviously quite effective.
She saw an unconcealable solemnity on He Qing's face, which was his guilt towards Qu Shunzhi!
However, He Qing did not agree to Qu Ge immediately.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he is worried.
With his current abilities, he is still unable to completely compete with Jasmine.
He was not confident enough that he could protect Qu Ge in such a situation.
He has already lost Qu Shunzhi, he cannot lose his only daughter again!
"Xiao Ge, listen to me, this matter is not as simple as you think. You should know that my current situation, I..."
He Qing hesitated, not knowing how to explain his concerns to Qu Ge.
Qu Ge interrupted him directly and said frankly, "You don't need to explain. Rong Zhoubai has already explained the dangers to me very clearly. However, I still hope to make this matter public. This is very important to me."
Hearing this, He Qing turned to look at Rong Zhoubai.
He was testing his meaning.
In this matter, they are in the same boat.
Rong Zhoubai felt even more conflicted than him.
On the one hand, this is his best chance.
But on the other hand, he was reluctant to let Qu Ge take the risk.
Hesitate again and again.
Seeing the determination in Qu Ge's eyes, he finally nodded.
"Just do what she wants."
"Her safety is my responsibility."
…
City center, high-rise apartment.
The curtains in the master bedroom were half-drawn, and the sunlight slanted in, falling on the dark gray sheets.
Qiao Xu'an stood in front of the wardrobe, his fingers unconsciously stroking a folded silk nightgown.
It is exactly the same as the one Qu Ge wore in Xichuan Yue.
In front of me, the entire room is decorated, from the sofa and coffee table to the bedside aromatherapy, every piece is the same as the one I once bought at Xichuan Yue.
Many of Xichuan Yue’s things were bought by him and Qu Ge when they went shopping together after they fell in love.
Once upon a time, when he lived alone, the room was cold and empty, with only the necessities of life.
Until Qu Ge appeared, she began to place succulent pots on his windowsill, hand-woven coasters on the coffee table, and a few soft pillows on the sofa...
Those little things filled every corner without us noticing.
Even the sunlight shining in becomes more gentle.
Now, Qiao Xian stood alone in this poorly reproduced room.
He suddenly realized that he missed her so madly...
He closed his eyes and seemed to still smell the scent of her favorite handmade soap.
He hadn't felt that faint warm fragrance for a long time.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the next room.
Qiao Xuan's eyes turned cold, he slammed the wardrobe door, turned and walked towards the guest room.
In the guest room, Qiao Wanwan fell to the ground in a mess.
The iron chain tied around her ankle was directly connected to the special steel lock at the head of the bed.
Next to her, the desk lamp fell to the ground, the lampshade was deformed, and the bulb was broken into pieces.
Seeing him come in, she subconsciously shrank back: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! Don't hit me... Don't hit me! Please!"
"When will you finally be able to settle down?"
Qiao Xuan asked her coldly, his eyes narrowed and filled with a chilling cruelty.
Qiao Wanwan's face turned pale.
These days, she has been locked up here by Qiao Xuan and has not seen the world outside the window for a long time.
Just now, she just wanted to open the curtains and see the sunlight outside.
Unexpectedly, the iron chain on his feet accidentally tripped the lamp.
Having fallen into such a situation, Qiao Wanwan's pride had long been worn away.
She knelt at his feet timidly and begged him: "Don't be angry, I will be obedient, I will do anything you ask me to do..."
As long as he doesn't hit her again, she can compromise on anything!
At this moment, her body was covered with bruises and scars.
These traces are all evidence of Qiao Xian's tyranny.
Several days had passed since she was discharged from the hospital and brought here by him.
Qiao Xuan went out early and came back late every day, sometimes even running into her room drunk at two or three in the morning.
She could always smell an unfamiliar perfume on him.
The scent is mature and charming, and you can tell it is a woman's perfume as soon as you smell it.
Moreover, it was not the style he liked before.
Qiao Wanwan didn't dare ask him whose smell it was.
She only knew that every time he smelled like that, he would become extremely terrifying, as if he had transformed into a bloodthirsty beast...
Looking at the shivering Qiao Wanwan, Qiao Xuan frowned.
He suddenly grabbed her chin and said, "Do you know why I kept you here?"
His thumb rubbed her cheek hard, as if wiping away something dirty.
Qiao Wanwan shook her head in fear.
Qiao Xuan suddenly laughed, a creepy laugh: "Because you are my sister! Didn't you say that we will always be a family? Isn't family supposed to stick together?"
family.
These two words seemed like a curse, trapping Qiao Xian forever.
Over the years, all his efforts were simply to gain the recognition of the Qiao family, to make them treat him as a real family member and treat him sincerely.
However, in the end, all he got was endless beatings and scolding.
Those punches and kicks were engraved on his heart again and again.
Now, he wants to return everything they have done to him to his only remaining "family"!
Every late night, after he was humiliated and tortured by Jasmine, he would come back and vent all his resentment on Qiao Wanwan.
He knew that he had already become a monster.
But so what?
As long as he can start over again, he is willing to pay any price!
He must hold on until the day he sees Qu Ge again!
But……
Where is Qu Ge...
Qiao Xian had no way of finding her now.
All his daily actions were closely monitored by Jasmine.
He didn't even dare to hire someone to investigate her whereabouts.
He knew very well that once Jasmine knew that Qu Ge was still alive, she would never let her go!
No!
He couldn't let anyone hurt her!
Her life can only belong to him!
…
White Manor.
The extravagant night has just begun.
Jasmine stood in front of the mirror, thoughtfully stroking the ring on her ring finger that had held her for half her life.
Behind him, outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the guests who arrived one after another were all people at the top of the pyramid.
When she thought about how all these people gathered here today just to celebrate her marriage which was in name only, she couldn't help but sneer.
The housekeeper knocked on the door and entered the room.
"Miss, Mr. He said everything is ready. Please come downstairs."
"knew."
Jasmine responded nonchalantly, showing no intention of moving.
She checked the time and asked, "Where's my troublesome brother?"
"The young master just arrived. The female companion he brought with him today looks unfamiliar. I haven't seen her before."
"Humph, a guy like him changes women faster than he changes clothes. What's so strange about that?"
Jasmine waved her hand and sent the housekeeper away.
She turned and walked to the window.
Coincidentally, Rong Zhoubai's car was parked downstairs.
Seeing the woman getting out of his car, Jasmine immediately frowned...
