1390 Breaking The Original Plan
Before Song Shijing could speak, Qiao Xi said with a smile, “Ah Yao, don’t always think of fighting and killing. He’s here to look for his daughter, not to take revenge. What are you saying? If news of this gets out, they’ll think that we don’t know etiquette and don’t respect our guests!”
Gu Yao suddenly felt that Qiao Xi’s words made sense. They were cultured people. They could not always fight and kill.
Just as Gu Yao was looking at her with admiration, Qiao Xi said casually, “Moreover, why would I make a move on Kang Ru? He’s my father! The person I want to make a move on is Kang Jichuan. If he comes to Li City this time, I’ll kill him!”
Song Shijing: “…”
Gu Yao: “…”
Her tone was so gentle and soft, but she said that she wanted to kill someone. Moreover, she was the one who just said that one could not always fight and kill. However, in the next second, she said she wanted to beat Kang Jichuan to death!
This woman was really too scary!
After Gu Yao and Song Shijing left, Qiao Xi received a call from Cheng Ju’an.
Qiao Xi picked up the phone and smiled lightly. “Oh! Mr. Cheng, you’re so busy. Why do you have time to call me?”
Cheng Ju’an’s cold voice sounded. “Stop talking nonsense. I have something important to tell you.”
“Tell me.” Qiao Xi was able to discern that he was not in a good mood and was even slightly depressed.
“Qiao Xi…” Cheng Ju’an’s voice was low. “During the time I was by He Weinian’s side, I discovered a secret. A large part of the reason he returned to the country this time is because of you.”
“Me?” Qiao Xi was stunned.
Cheng Ju’an frowned. “He Wenyin has probably already reminded you, and I’ve found some information. He Weinian seemed to have investigated you five years ago.”
Qiao Xi was filled with doubts. She had never seen He Weinian before. Even before He Weinian returned to the country, she had never heard of the He family. Why was He Weinian investigating her?
“It’s probably because you have the divine physician and a few brothers protecting you, so He Weinian didn’t dare to expose himself. He was originally prepared to return to the country two years ago, but for some reason, he had to postpone it.
“He planned to approach you when he returned to the country, but he didn’t expect you to suddenly get married.”
Qiao Xi thought for a moment and asked softly, “You mean He Weinian has already investigated everything about me, but he didn’t expect me to marry Gu Zheng?”
“Yes.” Cheng Ju’an felt inexplicably flustered. “According to the information, He Weinian wanted you to marry He Tingchen.”
Qiao Xi: “???”
Cheng Ju’an said, “You should be very surprised, but it’s indeed true. He Weinian didn’t spread this news. Even He Tingchen doesn’t know about it. He Weinian wanted you to marry his son not because he thinks highly of you but because he thinks you’re useful to him. He probably thinks that keeping you by his side can restrain someone.
“One more thing. He Weinian was supposed to come back two years ago. At that time, you had just returned to the Qiao family. That was also when Qiao Rou ruined your engagement and stole your fiance, Gu Moling. He Weinian originally wanted to bring He Tingchen back to Li City to save you.
“Qiao Xi, think about it carefully. Back then, your fiance cheated on you with Qiao Rou, the person you hated the most. Everyone in the Qiao family was suppressing you. If you were at rock bottom and He Tingchen suddenly appeared to save you and everyone in the He family treated you as their biological daughter, would you have married He Tingchen instead?”
Qiao Xi suddenly fell silent and thought seriously for a moment before replying, “Maybe.”
“This is all the information I can find. Two years ago, He Weinian had already thought of a plan, but he was delayed by something. After he settled that matter and was about to return to Li City to carry out his original plan, he realized that you had actually married Gu Zheng. This matter exceeded his expectations and ruined his original plan.”
Qiao Xi suddenly recalled that Gu Zheng had said that the He family had cut off all contact with him a few years ago and agreed not to keep in contact with him anymore. However, He Weinian pretended that nothing had happened and returned to Li City as if he had never said anything.
He Weinian looked gentle and kind on the surface, but he was very arrogant on the inside. There must be a reason why he had to go back on his promise to come back here.
However, Qiao Xi never expected that He Weinian would suddenly return to Li City because of her!
Cheng Ju’an sighed. “I’m just reminding you not to worry too much. At the very least, He Weinian won’t make a move easily now. After all, he’s still afraid of Gu Zheng’s power. Next, He Weinian still wants He Tingchen to get close to you. He probably wants you to divorce Gu Zheng and marry into the He family. However, this won’t be easy. He first has to confirm that you’re a weak and ignorant girl.”
