Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

"Xixi, Mom... suddenly wants to go home." Su Mei's tears fell, but she managed to force a smile.

"Mom," Xu Chaoxi's heart ached, "Please stop talking, come down quickly, I'll take you home, okay? If you don't want to stay in the hospital, I'll take you home, a little home where it's just you, me, and Yi Yi."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her voice trembled: "Mom, I can't live without you, and neither can Yi Yi."

Su Mei shook her head, looked back at Xu Chaoxi one last time, and gave a final smile: "Xixi, Mommy is sorry for you in this life. In the next life, don't be my daughter."

The next second, Su Mei's head slammed down onto the ground, which was tens of meters high.

"mom--"

"Bang—"

Xu Chaoxi ran over with all her might, but it was too late. She could only watch helplessly as Su Mei jumped down right before her eyes.

"Mom..." Xu Chaoxi cried out, almost jumping down with her.

"Chaoxi! Calm down." Zhong Qingli appeared behind her at some point, hugging her waist tightly, her face covered in tears.

"Day and night, you still have one more, you still have one more!"

"Mom... Waaah..." Xu Chaoxi collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. She could only watch helplessly as Su Mei fell to the ground, her flesh mangled and her face unrecognizable.

The intense shock hit her head, and she couldn't take it in time. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Chaoxi? Chaoxi?!" Zhong Qingli turned pale with fright when she saw Xu Chaoxi faint in her arms.

the other side.

Upon receiving news that Xu Chaoxi had escaped, Jiang Jingsi's face instantly turned cold.

"I really underestimated her."

Deng Xiao bowed his head and apologized: "President Jiang, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not keeping a close eye on Miss Xu."

"Go and bring her back yourself."

"Yes."

-

When Xu Chaoxi woke up again, she saw that it was bright outside.

"Chaoxi, you're awake?" Seeing that she was awake, Zhong Qingli breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared! I thought something had happened to you. What would Yiyi have done if something had happened to you?"

"Where's my mom?" Her voice was hoarse and almost inaudible.

Zhong Qingli paused, turned her face away, and dared not look into her eager eyes.

"The doctor said that the aunt's injuries were too severe, and she passed away despite all efforts to save her."

"No, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Xu Chaoxi shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "You're lying to me, you're lying to me, aren't you? Qingli, tell me, tell me you're lying to me, my mother didn't die at all, did she?"

Zhong Qingli's tears flowed too, but she could only cruelly tell her the truth: "Chaoxi, I also wish this were fake, but it's true. You have to pull yourself together. You still have Yiyi. Auntie is gone. What will happen to Yiyi if something happens to you too?"

Xu Chaoxi's hand weakly loosened its grip on her arm, and she hugged her knees in despair, murmuring:

"No, she was fine yesterday, she was perfectly fine yesterday, she wouldn't just leave me like this... no way..."

Zhong Qingli didn't know how to comfort her, and could only watch helplessly as she shed tears.

She was like an emotionless machine, her eyes vacant, her expression numb, endlessly repeating "No."

This startled Zhong Qingli, who instinctively reached out and took her hand, asking with concern, "Chaoxi, please don't scare me, okay?"

Her condition was really off.

With a "bang".

Someone broke down the door to the ward.

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang asked me to take you back."

Deng Xiao led his men in and directly stated his purpose.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhong Qingli quickly stood up and blocked Xu Chaoxi's way: "You can't go with anyone under your guise. Chaoxi will never go with you."

"Miss Xu, please don't put me in a difficult position. I have no choice." Deng Xiao said apologetically, but his actions left no room for argument or resistance.

Seeing that they were about to take a hard line, Xu Chaoxi suddenly spoke up: "I'll go with you."

"Chaoxi!" Zhong Qingli quickly hugged her and said anxiously, "Don't be afraid as long as I'm here. No one can force you to leave if you don't want to."

"I'm fine, Qingli." Her face was still streaked with tears, but she forced a smile with all her might. "Yiyi is still in his hands. I have to go back."

Zhong Qingli then realized that she hadn't seen Yi Yi since yesterday.

"Then I'll go with you."

As she spoke, Zhong Qingli looked at Deng Xiao and said, "I'm her friend, I'll go with her."

"President Jiang only asked me to take Miss Xu back."

"If you don't take me with you, she won't go with you, and then you won't be able to explain yourself." Zhong Qingli understood that their target was Xu Chaoxi, so she brought up Xu Chaoxi.

After hesitating for a moment, Deng Xiao took Zhong Qingli with him as well.

With the wedding just around the corner, it's best to avoid any unexpected problems. If anything goes wrong, President Jiang will really be furious.

Xu Chaoxi was taken to the yacht once again.

This time, there were quite a few more people on the yacht, and it wasn't as relaxed as last time.

She knew that Jiang Jingsi was warning her not to think about running away again.

When they went inside, the two bodyguards were trying to comfort Yi Yi, but Yi Yi was crying and calling for her mother, and they were at a loss, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Only when she saw Xu Chaoxi return did Yi Yi rush towards him.

Seeing Yi Yi crying in her arms, Xu Chaoxi felt an unbearable heartache.

Having completed his mission, Deng Xiao did not leave. He had to stay there until the wedding was over before returning to Haicheng.

After being comforted, Yiyi hugged Xu Chaoxi's neck, her voice still a little hoarse: "Mommy, when are we going back? I miss Grandma."

Xu Chaoxi's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the stinging in her eyes and wiped away the tears on her small face: "Soon, very soon we will be back."

Zhong Qingli sat to one side, looking at the mother and daughter who depended on each other for survival, and her heart ached.

That night, Zhong Qingli slept next to Yi Yi.

Xu Chaoxi didn't sleep all night, her mind filled with the words Su Mei had said to her.

She abandoned herself; she said she was a burden, yet she abandoned herself.

She stayed awake until dawn. At night, the bodyguards tried to come in many times, but for some reason, they didn't.

Daylight broke, and the wedding ceremony was scheduled to begin in a few hours.

-

Haicheng.

Upon learning that the plan had only succeeded halfway, Cen Nian cursed viciously, "Useless! What's the point of keeping you around?"

At this moment, she was completely different from the gentle and virtuous Cen Nian she usually was.

The other person was so reprimanded that they dared not speak.

"Fine." Cen Nian suppressed her emotions. "Find an excuse to leave quickly, buy a plane ticket abroad, and don't let anyone catch you doing anything wrong."

The other party repeatedly said "yes" and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Cen Nian looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, and smiled.

She had waited too long for this day.
