Qiu Bailu has been having trouble sleeping recently. Every night when it gets dark, she starts to panic. She is afraid of falling asleep because every time that time comes, she always dreams about her mother and father.
In the dream, they were still young. Although the family was not so rich at that time, the family was very happy. My mother was usually a very tough person, but she also had tender moments. Every time on Qiu Bailu's birthday, she would always
I will cook myself and make a birthday cake for her.
This tradition was maintained until the year of her death.
Qiu Bailu rested until dinner time. A servant came over and asked her if she wanted to go downstairs for dinner. She thought about it and refused.
She didn't want to see Huo Dongheng, at least not now.
His concealment from her broke her heart. If it were normal times, she might have tried her best to ask him for an explanation, but now, she was so tired that she almost wanted to sleep to death.
In the past, she really didn't have the extra energy to press him.
Qin Zhen was right, her father was dead. People cannot be resurrected after death. No matter how hard she tried or regretted, he could never come back.
Qiu Bailu's hand slowly slid down and stopped on her lower abdomen. A few days ago in the hospital, she fainted when she learned that her father had died in a car accident. When she woke up again, the doctor told her that she was pregnant. But the child and
Her condition is not good, so she needs to be extra careful and it is best to stay in bed for a long time.
When Qiu Bailu learned the news, she didn't feel surprised. Perhaps it was because the sadness was so heavy that she forgot how to be surprised. And Huo Dongheng, standing next to her, was as calm as her. In fact, in his eyes,
She also saw some sadness.
That kind of sadness sinks into the soul, like a sharp steel knife unsheathed, which can cut through people's heart defenses without any effort.
In the next few days, Qiu Bailu did not do what the doctor ordered. Her father died, and the burden of Qiu's construction suddenly fell on her. She could not escape, let alone retreat. She was now the president of Qiu's Group, no matter what
Whether she wanted it or not, this name was weighing down on her like a big mountain.
She has too many things to deal with, including her father's funeral, company matters, and Huo Dongheng...
Her father has always disliked Huo Dongheng because he felt that he had intentions for the company. But what he didn't know was that for Qiu Bailu, as long as Huo Dongheng could have no reservations about her feelings, even if the company was given to him, she would
Also willingly.
But now...he doesn't even tell her the truth.
Qiu Bailu felt that she was worthy of being Li Ruoshuang's daughter. Her mother's blood was flowing in her veins, and the perseverance in her mother's character was also reflected in her. After what happened, she could obviously take over the management of the company.
To Huo Dongheng, of course this was what he expected, but she didn't. She gritted her teeth and took everything on her shoulders.
Because she doesn't believe him.
I can't and I don't dare.
Before her father died, she had a fierce argument with him about why. If he didn't give her an answer, she would never be able to open her heart to him like before.
There was soup for dinner, and Qiu Bailu's stomach couldn't eat anything else. She drank a bowl of soup, but the servant took the bowl away. Within ten minutes, she vomited out the soup again.
Her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable, and Qiu Bailu curled up on the bed, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely felt someone coming to her side and calling her name, but she was too tired and didn't answer.
The night is getting deeper.
Qiu Bailu woke up in the middle of the night. She seemed to hear a woman's plaintive cry. The sad voice floated around in the empty villa at midnight and lingered for a long time.
Qiu Bailu called out "Dong Heng." No one responded to her.
She sat up from the bed, found slippers under the bed and put them on, then walked out of the room.
The woman's cry was like a wandering ghost, appearing and disappearing. Qiu Bailu followed the ethereal voice and turned left and right to Su Wenwan's house.
"You bastard! How could you kill him! He has been so mean to you all these years! How could you attack him! You are still not a human being!!" Su Wenwan's angry roar mixed with crying appeared inside the door.
.
Qiu Bailu's heart clenched tightly. She said nothing and stood quietly at the door.
"How many times have I told you that it was an accident? Why don't you believe me? Why should I kill him? An old man who poses no threat. I am afraid of getting my hands dirty when I kill him." Huo Dongheng replied impatiently.
Su Wenwan sneered, "Who would believe your nonsense?! You hated him to the core for a long time. You hated him for being so cowardly and cowardly that your mother married such a rotten person. Isn't that why you came to the Qiu family?
Nian, whatever you do or say is not all for the purpose of destroying him and the Qiu family, only a ghost will believe it if you say you didn't do it now!"
"Believe it or not, I haven't done it. I haven't done it. He is not worthy of my action."
"Then who deserves it? That bitch's daughter? Huo Dongheng, if you can deceive others, can you also deceive yourself? Honestly, why did you marry her? Is it really because of Qiu's shares, or because you like her?
Did you marry her? Don’t forget why she married you!"
"Auntie!" Huo Donghengji shouted angrily, "Please pay attention to your identity. You don't seem to be qualified to accuse me. What happened to my mother back then was also due to your contribution!"
"Oh, even if I couldn't stop your mother's death back then, I can still repay the debts these years! I delayed my own happiness for you people! I could obviously marry such a good person,
But... in short, I don't owe you anything anymore, and you can't even think about threatening me with this matter again!"
"Okay, let's clear up what happened back then, but what about now?" Huo Dongheng pressed forward step by step, "Why did you do something to her when you knew she was pregnant with my child? Drugged her? Auntie, you are really bold.
You are not afraid that I will find out about you, are you? You want to kill her and my child as well?"
"So what if one kills two people!" Su Wenwan's voice was as shrill as an owl's, "There are so many women in the world, who can't give you a child? Why do you have to have her?!"
After a moment of silence, Huo Dongheng's voice sounded again, "I told you, I can get you whatever you want, but you are not allowed to touch her! She is mine, and no one can touch her except me.
!Why don’t you listen!
"Do you regard her as your private property or do you want to protect her? Huo Dongheng, what's wrong with you? Are you scared? Because of that little bitch, you want to fall out with me? Who swore in front of your mother's grave that you would
You ruined everything in the Qiu family, are you going to regret it now? Do you dare to say that you married that girl without any selfish motives?"
"I didn't! How many times do you want me to say it? I only married her because she held the equity of the Qiu family. Now that Qiu Chengjia is dead, everything belongs to her. I won't please her or marry her.
, all our efforts over the years have been in vain, how can you...
As Huo Dongheng spoke, he suddenly saw a very panicked expression on Su Wenwan's face. He seemed to realize something, and his mind felt like it was struck by lightning. He slowly turned around and saw Qiu Bailu standing at the door.
