77. Chapter 77

Sun An: "Qiao Zhengqi, make a bet, I bet that you will never go to the end in this life." ā€

"We don't need to be at the end, and even if it's just this second, I won't have any regrets." A clear female voice echoed through the empty hallway.

Because every minute and second with him is infinitely fulfilling and happy.

Yuan Lu walked out from behind the door of the real yĆ n room, armed himself with a smile and walked towards Qiao Zhengqi step by step.

This is a man who is trying his best to protect her even at the last moment, and can't bear her to be hurt in the slightest, this is the man who loves her in the world.

He wants to stay alone in City C to guard Qiao's family, and he wants to send her to the United States unknowingly, and bear the bloody wind and rain here alone, she is not afraid that Qiao's family will fall, she is not afraid that she will be slandered beyond recognition, she is not afraid that people all over the world will stand on the opposite side of her, the only thing she is afraid of is that he is not around.

Yuan Lu felt that if she had to sacrifice one, she would rather that person be her, she was fostered in Qiao's family for seven years, protected by this surname, and always wanted to do something for this family one day.

Yuan Lu was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Sun An couldn't help but sneer: "You didn't read the news at noon? Your uncle and aunt are in such a big play in front of the camera, yes, you are not in the mood to watch the news when this happens at home, Yuan Lu, have you thought about it, the Qiao family will fall into this situation overnight, and you are also one of the culprits? ā€

Yuan Lu's footsteps gradually froze and stopped.

Qiao Zhengqi saw that she stopped in front of him and stopped coming forward, so he took the initiative to walk up to her, took her hand, and held it in his palm.

Sun An stared at their interlocked hands, his eyes became jealous, stared at Yuan Lu, and said angrily, "One day you will destroy him." ā€

Qiao Zhengqi said indifferently: "Sun An, thank you for telling me so much, don't be stupid anymore, come out of the shadow of seven years ago, start a new life, and redraw your life." ā€

Sun An's eyes flashed with doubt: "Did you let it go?" ā€

Qiao Zhengqi pursed his lips slightly, breathing deeply, "I won't let go, as long as the murderer doesn't return to the case for a day, I will never let go, but you are different, since you didn't touch the case back then, you don't need to keep playing in circles in this case, and the gossip should have a time to stop." ā€

Sun An shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "You still don't understand why I would take such a case on my body." She slowly raised her head, her eyes clear, and looked at him: "As long as you are in this case for a day, I will not withdraw." ā€

The only intersection between him and her, for so many years, there is nothing else but this case.

Sometimes even she didn't understand why she had to wait so long for someone who was impossible, but as long as she thought that maybe this was the only connection and entanglement between them, she was reluctant to let go.

This kind of impatient and chasing and waiting process that she can think of but never get is perhaps what she has been obsessed with all her life.

Sun An turned his gaze to Yuan Lu, only to find that she looked so petite and young standing next to Qiao Zhengqi, and the beauty reminded people of their young self.

Sun An opened his pale lips slightly, and said slowly to Yuan Lu: "You are too young, and now you can't protect yourself, and you can't support his future." ā€

She said the last sentence coldly and walked towards the real room, and when she passed by them, her eyes briefly rested on their hands that had always been tightly intertwined, and her gaze began to turn cold and light.

The door slammed shut.

The cold wind coming from the room washed away the smoke in the corridor.

The sound of the door slamming through the hallway pierced Hara's chest and reached her heart, her pulses fluttering violently, and the blood gushing seemed to be locked after the loud bang.

Her eyes looked far, far away, like the corridor never ended, and she said, "Is there anything else?" If not, let's go back. ā€

The back of Qiao Zhengqi's hand brushed her cold fingertips, and said gently: "Don't think too much, trust me, leave it to me, okay?" ā€

Yuan Lu raised his head slightly to look at him: "I have never disbelieved you. ā€

What she doesn't believe is herself.

Whether it is Lin Zi or Sun An, she is not qualified to compare. It's not about being young, it's about how much you can do for him.

She was with him, and she had always left a way back for herself, imagining that she would be able to live independently without him, but it wasn't until she found out just now that even Sun An could give up everything to wait for him.

Sun An waited for him for seven years, and was cold-eyed for the crime of being a murderer, and the foul language she endured during this period must have been far worse than the insult she suffered in the "fraudulent donation" incident seven years ago.

Hot air was blowing in from the corridor window, and the sky was as low as a gray net.

The clouds are tumbling and the wind is low.

"Is it going to rain?"

"The thunderstorm will pass soon."

"What are we going to do? I want to leave but I can't......"

"Follow me."

He took her cold fingers in his palms and led her to the fastest drive home.

*************

Back at the hotel, Yuan Lu went to take a shower, went out of the bathroom and found the enamel jewelry box on the hotel dresser, and called Qiao Zhengqi twice but no one answered.

She walked over to the dresser and opened the jewelry box, where a dark emerald was embedded in the suede sponge pad.

Gemstones and diamonds sparkle in the yellow glow of the floor lamp.

Yuan Lu took out the ring, put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand, stood with the palm of his hand, and the back of his hand facing the mirror, looking at himself and the ring in the mirror.

Qiao Zhengqi came out of the other bathroom in the room, with only a bath towel wrapped around her, and found her standing in front of the mirror in a daze, walked up to hug her, looked at herself and her in the mirror, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ā€

Yuan Lu retracted his thoughts, put down his palm, and said, "Who is that person Sun An is talking about?" That person made a move, and our family would really be put to death? ā€

Qiao Zhengqi avoided the important and light: "Dad will be prosecuted soon, the other party has been premeditated for a long time to make us powerless, Lulu, will you go to Boston first the day after tomorrow?" Wait for me there, I've got Devin, you're going to be fine over there. ā€

Yuan Lu turned around in his arms, faced him, raised his face and looked at him: "Who the hell is it?" ā€

Qiao Zhengqi's eyes began to flicker, and he didn't answer her question directly: "On the plane the morning after tomorrow, you can simply pack your luggage, you have everything you need over there, you can wait for me obediently when you get there." ā€

Yuan Lu stared at him: "No, you won't come." ā€

"Believe me", he frowned, and said seriously: "I won't be willing to let you alone, the ends of the earth, no matter where you are, I will go to you." ā€

Yuan Lu half-bit her lip and stubbornly refused to let go: "Then who is the person you sued me, and why did he deal with Dad?" There must be a reason for such a means of discrediting people and recklessly playing with power. ā€

What kind of deep hatred can lay down such a game so quietly.

Qiao Zhengqi was a little weak by her questioning, and raised his hand to caress her cheek: "My aunt went to see my dad in the afternoon, and my dad said that he didn't offend this person usually, and my dad didn't believe it after learning that it was this person." Even the parties don't know what the grievances are, and I have no way of knowing. Sun An was also very evasive when he mentioned it to me, and all I could know could only be guessed from her words. ā€

"Even if you go to this person, there's no room for manoeuvre?"

Qiao Zhengqi took Ba Mo on top of her head, "Since Shen Yuan has laid this game for so long, even if you see him, will you let him go?" Not surprisingly, my mother was also accused by this person in Singapore. ā€

Yuan Lu was surprised and even more afraid: "You mean my mother was kidnapped?" ā€

Qiao Zhengqi looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes narrowed slightly, half of his thoughts were running at high speed, and half of his thoughts stopped at Yuan Lu.

"It shouldn't be a kidnapping, otherwise there would have been movement at the embassy for a long time, and it is obvious that the other party just wants to control my mother and prevent my mother from returning to China at this time."

Yuan Lu: "What does that person do with his mother?" Even if my mother returns to China, my father's prosecution will not change. ā€

Qiao Zhengqi: "That's what is suspicious, I think that person should know my mother." ā€

didn't want Deng Han to get involved in this mess at this time, and to arrest Deng Han, it seemed to be a threatening atrocity, but it was actually protecting Deng Han.

On the one hand, he was dealing with Qiao Haiyang, and on the other hand, he was protecting Deng Han, why did he create this killing without gunpowder, and the answer was obviously about to come out.

Yuan Lu didn't believe the inference at all, and shook his head at the result of such speculation: "Impossible, my father and mother have such a good relationship, it is impossible to have any entanglement with other people." ā€

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother have always been a model couple in her heart, the two have never blushed in front of their children, they speak gently, the two respect each other like guests, and talk elegantly, even if the husband and wife get together less and leave more because of work, but the relationship has been very stable for so many years.

"Logic is not emotion, and I don't want to believe such a conclusion in my heart." Qiao Zhengqi's tone could be heard with a hint of annoyance.

"Have you checked?"

Qiao Zhengqi said: "Not yet, it's a little bit of information captured from Sun An's words in the afternoon, if you want to check, you can only start checking from my mother's side." ā€

Yuan Lu didn't want to destroy the image of his adoptive mother in his mind because of such frivolous speculation, but he had to ask Qiao Zhengqi because of the urgency of the form: "Who is that person?" ā€

Qiao Zhengqi stared at her for a long time, the expression on her face didn't even have a hint of relaxation, Qiao Zhengqi said lightly: "If I sue you, can you listen to me and go to Boston first?" ā€

Yuan Lu thought for a moment, looked into his eyes, and nodded.

Qiao Zhengqi pressed her lips to her ear pinna and almost said the name in lip language.

Yuan Lu's brain instantly "boomed", as if his entire body was ignited at that moment.

It's that person......

At this moment, she completely understood why Qiao Zhengqi insisted on sending her to Boston, because if it was a little later, none of them would be able to leave.

Why did you provoke such a character, and why did you have such a surname?

It was also at this moment that Yuan Lu had a bold and vague speculation in his heart about why he was fostered into Qiao's family.
