No.
They would be fine as a family.
It was all his making.
These affairs were too complicated to explain clearly.
But Qiao Xi would not let herself be trapped in an impasse.
Qiao Xi slightly raised her head, finding it sowhat comical, "If Qiao’s Group still had been under his control, Qiao’s would have gradually declined. To stabilize the company, he might have continued to use until he drained all my value."
The Qiao’s employees weren’t unemployed because of the group’s acquisition. Under Qiao Zhenbin, it would have been a different scene.
Qiao Zhenbin loved Qiao Nan, but wasn’t he still able to ruthlessly use her?
She wasn’t favored, so Qiao Zhenbin would have been even less rciful to her.
Qiao Xi didn’t want to think so poorly of the man who brought her into this world, yet the facts were just so.
Even at the last mont before he jumped off the building, Qiao Zhenbin probably regretted making the wrong decisions.
He was forced to jump.
Not because he regretted treating his forr wife badly, or his eldest daughter poorly.
A person like him would never introspect, as his own interests were always more important than anything else.
"If anyone’s to bla, it must be ," Qiao Xi shook her head and found it laughable.
She smiled, but her smile was sowhat obscure.
"You’re not."
Qiao Xi looked toward Shen Dang.
Shen Dang had a very serious face.
He said, "When the knife was pointed at you, you just turned it toward soone else. You did nothing wrong."
Luckily she knew how to protect herself.
Instead of being used and hurt by others over and over.
The woman he liked was still very rational and clear-headed.
...
Qiao Xi saw Qiao Zhenbin at the morgue.
She lifted the white cloth and blankly stared at Qiao Zhenbin’s face, which had beco sowhat disfigured.
Despite the grim and hideous visage, Qiao Xi felt nothing.
So are more terrifying than death itself.
She just hadn’t expected to see Qiao Zhenbin like this again.
A person is gone, like a light extinguished.
She no longer held onto the past.
Qiao Xi completed all the formalities, and once she received the death certificate, she arranged for Qiao Zhenbin’s cremation.
Due to the unnatural death, Qiao Xi didn’t plan to hold a wake for long; a funeral seed unnecessary.
Those who once had relations with the Qiao Family were now long gone.
Qiao Xi just wanted to send Qiao Zhenbin off quietly.
The crematorium staff hadn’t arrived yet, but a noisy commotion ca from outside first.
"I want to see my husband, where is my husband?"
"Mom, calm down!"
"Dad must still be alive, I refuse to believe he’s just dead!"
"Don’t worry, dad is inside."
Qiao Xi recognized these two voices. Her gaze turned cold in an instant.
Wang Wen and Qiao Nan appeared at the doorway and walked in, Wang Wen collapsing weakly next to Qiao Zhenbin’s bed.
"Husband, open your eyes and look at !"
Wang Wen’s voice choked and she let out a scream.
Crocodile tears.
Qiao Xi watched the scene with an expressionless face.
While Qiao Nan was so scared stepping back upon seeing Qiao Zhenbin’s state.
She saw the news of Qiao Zhenbin’s suicide on TV, but the bloody scenes were mosaic-covered. Now facing the breathless person on the bed, Qiao Nan felt retrospectively frightened and couldn’t bear to look directly at Qiao Zhenbin.
After all, she was very guilty.
Qiao Xi swept her eyes across Qiao Nan’s face,
"Who killed my husband?"
Wang Wen lifted her eyes, filled with hatred, "Qiao Xi, it was you! You killed your father!"
Shen Dang’s voice was as cold as frost, "Lady Wang, watch your words, or you might bring disaster upon yourself!"
Wang Wen was afraid of Shen Dang, but Qiao Zhenbin’s death left her indignant.
She was left with nothing after being caught cheating; she ca back this ti still hoping to get sothing from Qiao Zhenbin. She couldn’t let Qiao Xi take it all!
"Why would a perfectly fine man jump from a building?" Wang Wen just looked at Qiao Xi, defiant, "Give an answer!"
Qiao Xi’s eyes were cold as she looked at her making a scene, "Firstly, you were divorced, so you don’t have the right to call him ’husband’. You don’t have the right to question , and I don’t need to provide you with answers. Why don’t you go underground and ask him?"
"You... are you cursing ?"
Wang Wen raised her hand to slap Qiao Xi, but halted under Shen Dang’s indifferent glance.
She embarrassingly lowered her hand, revealing her true face, "Divorced or not, I’m still his ex-wife. I served him for decades and got nothing. By rights, I should have half of his property!"
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh, the laughter filled with scorn.
No wonder Wang Wen, who vanished for so long, suddenly appeared; she did so for the money.
Qiao Zhenbin, you’ve really failed as a person.
The one you once loved deeply, in the end, ca only for your money.
What could be more laughable than this?
Qiao Xi mocked, speaking leisurely, "Don’t you know? He invested and failed, all his properties were seized. If you want money, go ask the judge for it, see if the judge entertains your unreasonable demands."
"Impossible! You’re lying to , Qiao Xi! You just want to pocket the money!"
Wang Wen simply didn’t believe it.
She knew how much money Qiao Zhenbin had.
Qiao Xi replied nonchalantly, "If you think I’m lying, there’s nothing I can do."
"You won’t tell the truth, you just want to embezzle your father’s money!" Wang Wen was convinced of that.
Qiao Xi found her stupidity astonishing, "Legally speaking, even if there was money left under his na, it wouldn’t be my turn to inherit it. Perhaps you should ask your dear daughter, your ex-husband’s bankruptcy was due to partnership with whom?"
Shen Dang said the one who had screwed Qiao Zhenbin over was Chu Xiuyun. Was Qiao Nan completely unaware of Chu Xiuyun’s actions?
Upon hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Qiao Nan’s face drastically changed, "Qiao Xi, you’re sick! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Her voice suddenly rose, her blustering bearing the hallmark of soone with a guilty conscience.
Qiao Xi beca even more convinced that Qiao Nan knew about it but did nothing to stop it.
Chu Xiuyun had lost her mind, and so had Qiao Nan.
But looking at the whole situation, it was still Qiao Zhenbin who caused it, to the extent that it turned Qiao Nan indifferent.
"Nannan, what is this about?" Wang Wen turned and asked.
"Why are you asking ? Don’t listen to Qiao Xi’s nonsense, I don’t know anything!" Qiao Nan ran out.
It was too horrific here; she didn’t want to stay!
"If I find out you’re lying to , I will expose you to the dia!" Wang Wen threatened before dejectedly leaving.
In the end, it was Qiao Xi who dealt with Qiao Zhenbin’s posthumous matters.
After Qiao Zhenbin was cremated, Qiao Xi placed his ashes in the sa cetery where her mother was laid to rest.
Qiao Xi visited her mother again.
She stared at the photo on the tombstone for a long ti.
Mom, he’s dead now. Let him repent to you properly.
But please don’t forgive him too soon, okay?
