Act Eight Resolution

This sweet and charming Fu Peijia, with a warm smile reminiscent of sunbeams, would from this moment on disappear from his life

However, at this moment, she truly needs this cup of slow poison. One day at a time. Perhaps during this period, her father's memory might recover. Or perhaps, her father's health will improve to the point that even if he ultimately learns the truth, he will be able to bear it.

He seemed to be driven mad, uncontrollably searching for her shadow in every woman.

As for why the Qiao family chose to do this, Fu Peijia did not understand at all

Mr. Fu, rest assured, I have already finalized the cooperation project regarding Qidao with Du Weian. If you are still concerned, I will bring the documents for your review in a few days. Qiao Jiaxuan played his part well and provided a concise report.

Facing the starry night sea, he finally calmed his emotions, only to unexpectedly encounter Fu Peijia.

She had never imagined that to this day, the Qiao family would propose such an exchange agreement

When the two individuals pushed the door open and entered, Fu Chengxiong was sitting in a wheelchair, his back turned, gazing out the window in a daze.

Mr. and Mrs. Huang repeatedly expressed their greetings, and Mrs. Huang warmly took Fu Peijia's hand, saying: "You are truly both well-behaved and beautiful"

Tan Zai Cheng's keen interest in Fu Peijia and his determination to win her over not only made Qiao Jiaxuan feel envious but also made him truly realize for the first time that he could not simply hand Fu Peijia over to someone else

During this process, Qiao Jiaxuan leaned against the wall from a distance, quietly observing her every move. When she finished, he finally spoke: "Let's go."

Jiaxuan, is it very busy at the company? Dad is in the hospital, and the burden has fallen on you...

Qiao Jiaxuan always remembers that the first time he met Fu Peijia was at a banquet hosted by his boss, Huang Minren. The banquet was held to introduce Huang Pinyou, who was preparing to return home to take over the family business, to the entire Luohai business community

Later, the house officially began construction, and the Boss was involved in various renovation matters throughout the process. He was extremely particular about every detail, even personally going to purchase the tiles for the bathroom.

Qiao Jiaxuan lowered his eyes calmly and said, "Dad, you can rest assured. I will do it."

Thus, he returned to the Fu family in the car

Having endured until midnight, Fu Peijia finally succumbed. She took her bathrobe and entered the bathroom to wash and groom herself

I don't want her. I don't want her. She looks like a monkey, so ugly, I don't want her to be my wife. I like Lin Enmin from our class, I want Lin Enmin to be my wife in the future... His innocent and candid words made the four adults in the delivery room burst into laughter.

But now, her naturally full and fair forehead, her thick eyelashes curling like butterfly wings, and her face, as elegant and natural as flower petals, exude a breath-taking freshness and sweetness with every frown and smile

Such a result undoubtedly amounts to killing the father once again

Everything between him and her ends here

Huang Pinyou, dressed in a top-tier custom-made suit, graciously bowed to Fu Chengxiong and said, "Hello, Mr. Fu." He then turned his face, elegantly smiling at Fu Peijia, saying, "Peijia, hello. It is a pleasure to meet you"

Fu Peijia let out a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, she realized that another challenge was awaiting her, and there was nothing to truly celebrate.

As he expected, Fu Peijia had already developed deep feelings for him. His strategy of retreating to advance their relationship allowed them to make significant progress, entering a substantive phase.

Fu Chengxiong's voice was extremely weak: "Peijia, has Dad's heart disease relapsed again?"

Over time, this will no longer be the case

How could he possibly fall in love with her

But if he had not encountered Fu Peijia, where would he be today? Who would he be with later, and what kind of life would he be living? Many times, even Qiao Jiaxuan himself cannot imagine.

The original Qiao family residence, after encountering Fu Peijia, devised a plan to approach her secretly. Based on the findings of a private investigator, he gradually drew closer to Fu Peijia, his heart filled only with intense hatred

The location of the house is excellent, and upon opening the door and window, one can see the beautiful scenery of the Sun and Moon Lake. The lawn in front of the house is lush and appealing. Inside the house, the predominant colors are white and natural wood, complemented by various green plants and colorful cushions, creating a very comfortable and pleasant atmosphere

In the dim light, the warmth of her presence is felt at his fingertips, confirming that she is there. She is truly by his side.

If this is a cage, it is also a cage that many people dream of.

Under the eaves, one must bow their head. Whatever Qiao Jiaxuan says, she will do.

Over the years, Qiao Jiaxuan has repeatedly asked himself whether he would still have appeared at that location if he had known that their encounter would lead to all the subsequent entanglements

Upon exiting, I couldn't help but be momentarily taken aback; Qiao Jiaxuan was already in the bedroom, crouched in a corner of the sofa, feeding Mulan dried apple slices

In fact, Fu Peijia does not even have the capital to negotiate a fraction of a point

The two individuals sat across from each other at a distance of one office, quietly locking eyes.

Fu Peijia is completely unable to accept this fact

In fact, Fu Peijia very much wishes she could suffocate the past. Therefore, no matter what happens next, she will feel nothing.

When her father, Fu Chengxiong, inquired about Qiao Jiaxuan, she found another excuse to evade him. Fu Chengxiong merely cast a faint glance at her and said, "Is that so?" After that, he fell silent.

He took her hand that was resting aside, played with it for a while, and then slowly intertwined their fingers.

That night, he once again had the private detective report in detail. He was eager to know where she was every day, what she was doing, and whom she was meeting.

However, at this point, there is no turning back.

He has merely been infatuated with the tenderness that Fu Peijia has given him all along. Qiao Jiaxuan tells himself that humans are creatures of habit, and everything is simply a matter of his own habituation. Once Fu Peijia leaves, he will return to his original state.

Fu Peijia, have you forgotten? It was you who came to my house, took off your clothes, and actively climbed into my bed. Any man would find it impossible to resist such temptation

Although her father was ill, the imposing presence he had maintained for many years was still evident. At that moment, Fu Peijia felt a sudden jolt in her heart, realizing that it would not be long before her father discovered the truth if things continued this way

Huang Pinyou gazed into her smiling eyes, which conveyed an unmistakable determination to succeed. Qiao Jiaxuan observed this clearly from a distance; he raised his glass and drained its contents in one gulp, a cold smile slowly forming at the corner of his mouth

The next day, after sobering up, Qiao Jiaxuan tidied himself up and drove to Ye's Hospital

However, even if she is willing to plead with him, would Qiao Jiaxuan agree

He truly cannot afford to pay to save his father's murderer, Fu Chengxiong

What other good solutions are there besides dragging on the deception day by day?

Qiao Jiaxuan harbored an intense hatred for this feeling of being out of control

Father! The protest of Fu Peijia seemed like the cool night breeze of summer, gently flowing into Qiao Jiaxuan's ears. Qiao Jiaxuan was not without surprise. How could someone as wicked as Fu Chengxiong give rise to a daughter with such elegance and spirit

Whenever he sees a hairstyle like hers, a similar figure, resembling eyebrows and eyes, identical smiles, or even a similar voice, he cannot help but be drawn to them, until he confirms that those individuals are not her

However, as a child, one always thinks of giving their all. She is no exception

At that time, his proposal to break up was a risky move. He gambled that Fu Peijia had already developed genuine feelings for him and needed a strong stimulus.

Fu Peijia looked at him with a furrowed brow, her once clear eyes, like a mountain stream, were now filled with thorns of caution

How could she continuously disrupt him while effortlessly extricating herself to be with Tan in the city

In that moment, Yuan Jingren could not help but recall a rumor within the company, stating that the Boss was preparing to marry Miss Chen, who was in charge of the company's legal department

There is one more thing; at this point, I no longer need to hide it from you. " At this point, he paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then spoke word by word, "I have never liked you. My approach to you has always been solely for the sake of the Fu family.

Fu Chengxiong laughed heartily: "Sister-in-law, to be honest with you, on any investment project, no matter how large, I can make a decisive decision and finalize it. But when it comes to this matter regarding my daughter, I am unable to make the call."

It is said that a person only knows who they truly love when they are drunk

Fu Peijia originally thought that the Qiao family would not let her go

Ten months later, seeing Fu Peijia, whom he once embraced every night, Qiao Jiaxuan felt as if it were a lifetime ago

Yuan Jingren politely guided Fu Peijia to the front of the office and pushed open two tall and imposing wooden doors. Afterward, he discreetly closed the door for the two of them.

Even if Qiao Jiaxuan does not agree to help, she has nothing to lose if she fails. At least she has made an effort, and in the future, there will be no regrets or regrets.

Qiao Jiaxuan did not know how long he had been gazing; he slowly leaned over and gently placed his lips on her forehead

Qiao Jiaxuan first realized what he had truly lost

However, apart from accepting this fact with astonishment, there is no other way.

Mr. Fu, everything is going smoothly

It seems that the boss and his wife are quite pleased with Miss Fu. However, whether they are satisfied with Miss Fu herself, who is polite and cultured, or with the wealth she is set to inherit, or perhaps both, is something only they themselves truly know

As long as there is time, there is still room for maneuver.

At this point, there is no need for pleasantries between the two. Fu Peijia moved into view, fixing her gaze on the glass curtain wall behind him, and directly stated her purpose: "Mr. Qiao, I am here today... to ask for your assistance with a matter."

Her brows and eyes, her lips, everything about her, he could reach out and touch

Time continues to flow, with each minute and each second turning as if it were walking on the anxious heart of Fu Peijia

Qiao Jiaxuan could not imagine the scene of Fu Peijia giving the heartfelt love he once received to someone else. Just the thought of someone doing all the things he had done for Fu Peijia made him feel as if he were going to go mad. Qiao Jiaxuan simply could not accept it

She was沉沉静静的, as if she had completely transformed into another person, her face no longer bearing the warm and bright smile of the past.

Fu Peijia felt as if facing a formidable enemy, and her whole body instantly tensed up like a stone.

In the future, Fu Peijia will have a life that does not belong to Qiao Jiaxuan. She will become someone else's wife and bear someone else's children

In recent years, he had long been accustomed to having Fu Peijia see him off every morning, and by the time he returned home, she would already be waiting. Yet now, as he pushes open the door, the room is filled with emptiness and desolation

In the days spent with her, he reminded himself every day: No! Qiao Jiaxuan, you can fall in love with any woman in this world, but that person must absolutely not be Fu Peijia

Yet deep down, a demon repeatedly clamors in opposition: Why should we let her go! On what grounds should we spare her! Who said she is the daughter of Fu Chengxiong? If it weren't for Fu Chengxiong back then, how could the Zeng family have fallen apart? How could your father have jumped to his death? How could you have lived under someone else's roof, destitute and wandering, struggling to survive? Moreover, Fu Peijia was born to be yours.

With a single stroke, Qiao Jiaxuan negated all the past between the two, deliberately severing all avenues of retreat for each other

The gentle and graceful mother held the newly born Fu Peijia, smiling as she said to him: "Dongting, look, isn't Peijia very cute? When she grows up, would she make a good wife for you? Just like how Mommy is Daddy's wife."

I must admit that my few cheap black, white, and gray clothes hanging among them appear quite out of place and comical

During that time, he even instructed Yuan Jingren not to report any matters concerning Fu Peijia in front of him anymore, simply stating: "Just have the private detective ensure her personal safety. Do not bother me with other matters in the future."

Oh, by the way. Remember to resign from all those jobs of yours

He has been suppressing himself from approaching her again

In fact, every encounter is a result of his deliberate intention. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. In this world, where do so many coincidences and serendipities come from

Upon learning of this situation, Dr. Sun, along with the assistant doctors from their team, promptly arranged for a detailed examination of Fu Chengxiong

She asked him: "Why?"

One minute later, the entire group's employee WeChat group went into a frenzy, and the news among the onlookers instantly spread: "Miss Fu has arrived," "Miss Fu has gone to the top floor," "Miss Fu has gone to President Qiao's office."

Qiao Jiaxuan seemed to have noticed her confusion and casually dropped a few words: "Go to the hospital. Don't you want me to meet your father?!"

At that moment, facing the familiar faces of his subordinates, each smiling and offering their blessings, Qiao Jiaxuan's heart suddenly felt as if it had been stabbed by a dagger, contracting painfully into a tight ball

On that occasion, the two of them had dinner together. Fu Peijia said, "Jiaxuan, why don't you come to my father's company..."

Fu Peijia dejectedly buried her face in her palms

She held him so tightly that her body heat seeped through the thin fabric, gradually permeating his skin.

You may take your time to consider your response. Ten days, half a month, or even one or two months, or half a year are all acceptable. I have plenty of time and can wait patiently. I just wonder if Fu Chengxiong can wait?" Qiao Jiaxuan smiled faintly, leisurely administering a potent dose to Fu Peijia.

Thus, he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue. After a pause, he clenched his fists and said to her: "Fu Peijia, after this lesson, remember not to trust others so easily next time. Do not let others take advantage of you while you are still counting their money. Do you understand?"

When his subordinates said the words "Happy Birthday" to him, what flashed through his mind was the face of Fu Peijia, recalling the first birthday he celebrated after being together with her, and the feast she personally cooked for him.

Many times, Qiao Jiaxuan would ask himself: Why is Fu Peijia the daughter of his father's murderer

Their relationship is also calm and peaceful. Just like when two masters meet, each move and technique is familiar to both, and they naturally respond to each other's attacks and defenses. The fight is like flowing clouds and water, light and effortless.

Fu Peijia did not know how long she had been staring at that set of keys, and finally, she closed her eyes and slowly uttered the word "good"

The astonishment he displayed at that moment was indeed tinged with genuine emotion. He had not anticipated that Fu Peijia, who had been raised in privilege since childhood, would do such a thing for him. Just as he had never expected that a villain like Fu Chengxiong could raise a daughter as kind-hearted, serene, and gentle as Fu Peijia

"Dad." Fu Peijia pouted playfully, her rosy cheeks reminiscent of cherry blossoms in full bloom in March, clustered together, radiant and beautiful

Regarding all matters, Qiao Jiaxuan did not shy away from admitting: "Indeed, what Secretary Zhong told you is all true. Not only that, but even the negative news about the Fu family in the stock market was spread by my orders."

Qiao Jiaxuan listened to her with a calm expression and casually pushed a set of keys from the desk towards her: "This is the key to one of my houses"

One day, Chen Yunxi was on a business trip, and Yuan Jingren and his subordinates, knowing that he loved Sichuan cuisine, arranged a gathering at a creative Sichuan restaurant, intending to give him a surprise

The words that followed merely buzzed in Fu Peijia's ears, indistinct and unclear. In disbelief, she reached out to touch the door, pausing for several seconds before forcefully pushing it open.

Even if Qiao Jiaxuan agreed, for her, it was merely a case of drinking poison to quench her thirst

Only he can remain unfeeling and resolute. Qiao Jiaxuan meticulously planned and laid out his strategies step by step, while the pure-hearted Fu Peijia was completely under his control.

The lakeside villa is a small villa purchased by the Qiao family last year, located by the Sun and Moon Lake, in an excellent position. When communicating with the design company at that time, the Boss handed them a blueprint he had personally designed and simply said: "I want a home. Comfortable and warm, a place where I can stay and never want to leave every day"

Qiao Jiaxuan was unaware of how long he had been in a deep sleep. When he awoke, the sky was still in a state of half-light and half-darkness. The person beside him was quietly curled up on one side of the bed, with long eyelashes gently closed and breathing softly, resembling a well-behaved and docile little beast

Peijia is simple-minded; look, just a few words have made her shy. I must have embarrassed Brother Huang and Sister-in-law.

It was also mentioned: "Isn't there a project between Qidao and the Fang family? The Fang family is not to be offended. Mr. Qiao has gone to Qidao to meet Mr. Fang Liming on your behalf, and he will return in a few days.

Is it a matter of life or death for the father? It is solely within her thoughts.

There was a problem with a project in the United States, and Mr. Qiao flew directly from Qidao to the United States

Huang Minren, upon seeing him, greeted several friends nearby and, with his wife and son, warmly approached: "Brother Fu, you have finally arrived. I was originally planning to make you drink three cups of wine as a penalty, but tonight, considering my niece, I will let you off the hook."

In the years following their marriage, as long as Qiao Jiaxuan was not on a business trip, he would unwaveringly heat a cup of milk for her every night, bringing it to her and watching her finish it. He said, "Hot milk aids sleep."

He ignored her weak and fearful smile, cruelly choosing to pierce through her: "You have been waiting for me, I suppose you have something to ask me? Go ahead and ask."

However, now that the father is awake, he has long forgotten about the fact that the Fu family was hollowed out and went bankrupt by the Qiao family.

He took the opportunity to rise with a cold expression and said the words "break up" to her

At this point, Fu Chengxiong's opposition was futile. This cunning fox, Fu Chengxiong, was wise throughout his life but foolish at this moment. He did not realize that the more he opposed, the more he pushed Fu Peijia towards him.

Qiao Jiaxuan held a cup of coffee and stood in front of the glass window, slowly sipping it in small sips. Perhaps hearing some noise, he withdrew his gaze from the distant view and turned around gracefully and calmly.

It turns out that Fu Chengxiong's daughter is such a delicate and exquisite beauty. Moreover, she is the sole heir of the Fu family business, and any man who marries her will undoubtedly have to work much less in his lifetime.

In the occasion filled with elegance and charm, the children of the Luo Hai family were not lacking. However, when Fu Peijia walked in slowly, holding Fu Chengxiong's hand, not only did he freeze in place, but the entire venue, which had been buzzing with whispers, fell into a silence that lasted for several seconds

After a heated argument with his father, Fu Peijia dragged a suitcase to his house. The two began cohabiting in his small room.

Qiao Jiaxuan always thought that he would forget Fu Peijia

This very moment is also!

It is evident that, before her, any path she might take is a dead end

He cruelly struck again and again, watching as the color drained from her face. She looked at him in disbelief, as if gazing upon a thoroughly wicked devil

Qiao Jiaxuan suddenly tightened the wine glass in his hand in the dark corner of the cocktail party

Secretary Zhong instead comforted her: "Miss, this is also good. At least Mr. Fu is still unaware of the current situation of the Fu family— you know, Mr. Fu's heart condition cannot withstand any stimulation"

In that moment, Qiao Jiaxuan's complexion was darker than ink by several degrees

Fu Peijia is unable to do so. Therefore, today she comes to seek help from Qiao Jiaxuan

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Huang. Fu Peijia greeted them with grace, her cheeks adorned with two dimples that appeared and disappeared, resembling two sparkling diamonds under the brilliance of the opulent antique crystal chandelier, radiating a gentle glow

In this world, apart from me, Qiao Jiaxuan, no one else can help you to appease your father

However, Qiao Jiaxuan felt not a trace of the joy of revenge. Looking at Fu Peijia's sorrowful expression, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been forcibly taken away, leaving him feeling empty and in pain.

Fu Peijia has never truly known Qiao Jiaxuan

Peijia, this is your uncle Huang Shibei's elder brother, Huang Pinyou. True to his name, he is indeed outstanding in both character and academics. He graduated from the University of Oxford with a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Management. After graduation, he worked as an analyst at Goldman Sachs, where he excelled. Now, at your uncle Huang Shibei's repeated request, he has resigned to help manage the company. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must learn well from Pinyou. This grand introduction by Fu Chengxiong has given the Huang Minren couple due respect. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must learn well from Pinyou. This grand introduction by Fu Chengxiong has given the Huang Minren couple due respect

He drank himself into a stupor, oblivious to everything around him

He used her and finally succeeded in his revenge, reclaiming what was rightfully his

After much hesitation, Fu Peijia finally dialed Yuan Jingren's number: "Assistant Yuan, I would like to meet him. Could you help me arrange that?"

Chen Yunxi, known for his decisive and efficient demeanor, is a formidable figure in the legal field, characterized by his iron will and sharp acumen. He can almost be regarded as a version of himself. Qiao Jiaxuan has always held him in high regard

At this point, Qiao Jiaxuan is indeed a person of his word. In fact, to ensure the performance is adequate, he efficiently transferred his father's hospital room to the top suite at Ye's Hospital.

Things must come to a conclusion, whether sooner or later

Fu Peijia fell to the ground, watching him leave with wide eyes, silently crying behind him

All inquiries regarding the Fu family and Qiao Jiaxuan were initially blocked by Secretary Zhong, who was always on call: "Isn't Mr. Fu hospitalized? Mr. Qiao is overseeing the Fu family, with a multitude of important and trivial matters, making it impossible to engage."

Furthermore, keep a distance from that Tan in the city and do not have any further contact with him. During the period of our transaction, I do not wish for you to have any relations with any other men.

Qiao Jiaxuan looked down at her without moving his eyebrows, and coldly whispered a few words in her ear: "Just because I'm happy."

He hardened his heart and slowly pulled her hand, saying: "I did not deceive you; all of this is true.

After nightfall, Qiao Jiaxuan entered the study next door and did not set foot in the bedroom again.

Fu Peijia's complexion suddenly turned pale, and after a moment, she forced a smile: "There's no need to rush this moment. I will go run a bath for you; you can rest for a while, and we can talk again, alright?"

However, since the renovation was completed, it has been vacant all this time, and he has not been seen moving in.

Yuan Jingren naturally understood why. Mr. Qiao's mobile phone number had never changed, yet Fu Peijia chose to reach out to him in a roundabout way, clearly indicating her intention to delineate the boundaries between them.

I really don't know what to make of Fu Peijia.

Fu Peijia turned her head in a daze and saw the encouraging smiles of several resident doctors. One of them said: "Miss Fu, it is true, Mr. Fu has woken up. We have just conducted a few preliminary examinations, and the current situation ... ... "

Good. Good. Peijia, there are only six months left until graduation from Luoda, and there will be plenty of time afterwards. Fu Chengxiong readily agreed.

What use is there in him turning around

He forced himself to move forward in this way with no way back, unable to turn back.

Originally, life was supposed to pass day by day like this. At a certain point, he would propose to Chen Yunxi, get married, have children, support each other in their careers, take care of each other in life, and grow old together hand in hand

Huang Minren immediately laughed heartily, his teeth visible but his eyes squinted: "Brother Fu, you flatter me. Brother Fu, you flatter me."

Without her, the house is merely a structure with four walls. It is not a home

However, hot milk has no effect, and Fu Peijia is not the least bit drowsy

He sat in the car, watching her walk into the hospital as if in a trance, and then walk out of the hospital.

Fu Peijia thinks this way

Fu Chengxiong seemed taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned his head: "Oh, Jiaxuan, you have returned from the United States. How is the acquisition case over there?"

Qiao Jiaxuan was acutely aware that the former Fu Peijia was something he had personally extinguished. Her smile was also something he had personally erased

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Jiaxuan took her to a restaurant. The two of them finished dinner without any communication throughout. At this moment, all the food that she had forced herself to swallow was stuck in her throat, as if it were ready to burst forth at any moment

On the bedside table, there rested a cup of steaming hot milk

If being together is destined to be a kind of sinking, then let's sink together.

He seemed to have anticipated that she would agree, so he had arranged everything, including Mulan's daily life. Mulan, who used to eat hay and carrots and live a hard life, now has all kinds of snacks and her material life has instantly improved from poverty to luxury.

Moreover, on the night when her father awoke, she solemnly declared to him: "Qiao Jiaxuan, if possible, I hope we will never meet again in this lifetime!" Now, how can she possibly import this?

It can be seen that even the heavens deceive the good and fear the evil.

At that time, he saw Fu Chengxiong spiritedly mingling with the prominent figures at the banquet, so he quietly withdrew to a corner of the garden

What about the Fang family from Qidao?

Fu Peijia felt as if she was suffocating

If he had not met Fu Peijia, there would not have been a plan to gradually approach Fu Chengxiong through her. Although he would still seek revenge on Fu Chengxiong, he would never succeed so quickly and thoroughly.

However, the appearance of Tan in the city shattered all his efforts at restraint

After a while, the bed beside her sank heavily as Qiao Jiaxuan lay down next to her

However, he himself is unable to answer.

To her, Qiao Jiaxuan was merely a nightmare that occurred at midnight. After waking up, there was not a trace left.

Qiao Jiaxuan personally carried her luggage straight up to the second floor and opened the bedroom door for her.

Thus, from that moment on, everything began to spiral out of control

Don't want, but still want. When Auntie was pregnant, Dad and Uncle Fu had already made an agreement. If the baby is a sister, when she grows up, she will marry you as a wife," Father Zeng Weiyan said.

Fu Peijia's timid and helpless appearance resembles a cracked vase, as if the slightest touch would shatter her into pieces. She has reached her limit and cannot endure another significant blow.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Peijia, Pin Yougang has just returned from abroad. If you have time, take him to see the changes in Luo Hai New City." She turned her head and blatantly said to Fu Chengxiong, "Let's create more opportunities for the children to get to know each other better."

There is often a reason behind every rumor. Could it be that the Boss is truly preparing for marriage? However, he observes the Boss's interactions with Miss Chen with a cold and rational demeanor, completely devoid of the state of being in love. In the past, the Boss was not like this with Miss Fu. He once inadvertently stumbled upon a scene in the office where the Boss and Miss Fu were being intimate, with the Boss passionately embracing Miss Fu on the sofa, their fiery and intense emotions contrasting sharply with his usually aloof exterior.

He still remembers that at the time, he casually took a bite and asked her, "Where did you buy this?"

However, it was strange that when he stood in the office of President Fu, looking down at most of Luohai City from the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Qiao Jiaxuan felt not a trace of joy or delight

The teardrops in her eyes were on the verge of falling, clinging to her eyelashes, and at this moment, they finally slowly rolled down her cheeks.

There will be no more in the future

He originally intended to lay everything bare, to candidly reveal the evil deeds that Fu Chengxiong had committed. If he is a devil, then Fu Chengxiong is Satan. Neither of them is a good person

Fu Peijia couldn't help but be stunned: "Dad, who are you talking about?"

Fu Peijia remains silent

In that moment, time was tranquil, as if it had come to a standstill

Qiao Jiaxuan's heart was also in constant struggle. There was a moment when he almost wanted to relent.

Qiao Jiaxuan had also experienced inner conflict and struggle, having told herself more than once: Let her go. She is innocent.

Staring blankly at the milk, Qiao Jiaxuan had already gotten up. He turned his face towards her and said, without any emotional fluctuation: "Drink the milk."

Regarding Fu Chengxiong's amnesia, Dr. Sun, based on his professional analysis, said the following to Fu Peijia: "We currently have two hypotheses. One possibility is that it is caused by brain damage resulting from Mr. Fu's previous interruption of breathing; the other possibility is a side effect of the new medication Mr. Fu has been taking"

Qiao Jiaxuan had been in the hospital room for about an hour when Yuan Jingren's call came in at the "appropriate" time: "Mr. Qiao, it's about time. There is a dinner gathering you must attend tonight."

Qiao Jiaxuan let out a cold snort from his nose and said nonchalantly: "There is no free lunch in this world. If you make me happy once, I will help you keep it from your father once"

Fu Chengxiong smiled and said to his daughter: "Peijia, this is your Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang"

Before arriving, Fu Peijia had naturally already coordinated with Qiao Jiaxuan in the car. Therefore, when facing Fu Chengxiong, Qiao Jiaxuan responded fluently, leaving no trace of a flaw.

Yuan Jingren responded with "yes" and turned to leave. Just before reaching the door, he suddenly heard Qiao Jiaxuan's voice coming from behind: "Oh, by the way, is there someone regularly taking care of the cleaning work at the lakeside villa?"

"These dishes were all made by me." She tilted her small, delicate chin upward, glancing at him sideways with a proud expression on her face

Qiao Jiaxuan's hand gently rested on her shoulder, causing Fu Peijia to instinctively shrink back. However, Qiao Jiaxuan did not give her any chance to retreat; he forcefully pulled her into the hospital room: "Mr. Fu."

Fu Peijia sat dazedly on the sofa in the living room, and upon hearing a sound, she slowly turned her head. Upon seeing him, she revealed a gentle smile of relief: "Jiaxuan, you are back"

All of this, Qiao Jiaxuan is aware of

Warm and elegant, with an attached dressing room, Fu Peijia, holding Mulan, knew at first glance that this was the master bedroom. By the floor-to-ceiling glass window is a small set of sofas, and one can also see a pool of lush green lake water

Upon seeing that blueprint, Yuan Jingren was also taken aback. The boss, who is usually too busy to engage with anyone, where did he find the time to personally design it? Moreover, he probably has not studied anything in this field either

It turns out that in this so-called game of revenge, he had unknowingly fallen in love with Fu Peijia.

She could not tell her father that the fruits of his lifelong efforts—the Fu family business—had long been seized by the Qiao family and was now renamed the Zeng family.

Qiao Jiaxuan fell silent for a moment and said, "Have her come to the office to see me"

Fu Chengxiong was staring blankly at the wall, his expression pale and haggard

Even though Fu Chengxiong's health is weak and he needs to rest, over time, no matter how good the excuses are, he is bound to become suspicious

Since it was an order, Fu Peijia had no choice but to comply. She silently picked up the cup and drank the milk in one go, making a "gulping" sound.

But now, Fu Peijia is no longer by his side. She will not appear in his life again.

Qiao Jiaxuan is afraid that he will be too soft-hearted, and he has used all his self-control to force himself to stay away.

You can rest assured. The conditions I offer you will definitely not be worse than those of someone surnamed Tan, and I will even provide you with a complimentary service to please Fu Chengxiong.

That was also Fu Peijia's first appearance in the social circle of Luohai

Between two individuals, from the very first encounter, the final outcome has already been predetermined. There has never been the slightest possibility of retreat

On this day, as Fu Peijia stepped into the lobby of the corporate building, Yuan Jingren was already waiting.

How can I accept that Qiao Jiaxuan, who has become a stranger, can once again become the closest person in my life

He was convinced that she would accept all of his conditions.

At this moment, Yuan Jingren also did not know why the boss suddenly asked about this. He truthfully replied, "Yes."

Fu Peijia has also encountered a similar situation

However, Qiao Jiaxuan lay quietly on the side, without any movement, not even touching her. It's unknown how long it passed, but she heard his breathing gradually becoming steady.

Fu Peijia was completely stunned.

Qiao Jiaxuan was astonished to discover that this day was actually his birthday

In fact, before coming, Fu Peijia had thought about it countless times back and forth

Qiao Jiaxuan calmly kept telling himself that it was just a matter of not being used to it yet.

Unfortunately, my father suffers from a heart condition and cannot endure any stimulation

As the understanding deepened, he gradually discovered the beauty of Fu Peijia, as if peeling an onion layer by layer. She is like a princess in a fairy tale, pure as a clear spring under Fu Chengxiong's protection, untouched by the slightest dust of this treacherous world.

Not bad

He does not know what to do with Fu Peijia, just as he does not know what to do with himself

Yes, it will certainly be so

Isn't this a story that should happen to the male and female leads in a prime-time drama at 8 o'clock? How could it happen to the father instead?

I do not want her to be my wife. She is so ugly, extremely ugly! Looking at Fu Peijia, who is red and wrinkled in his mother's arms, Zeng Dongting was almost in tears.

He was also aware of her financial situation. However, he remained cold-hearted and indifferent, never offering a helping hand

Yuan Jingren naturally knew to whom this "he" referred. After hanging up the phone, he entered the office to report this matter to Qiao Jiaxuan

Fu Peijia picked some words to comfort him, urging her father to relax. After a long while, Fu Chengxiong looked around and curiously asked her: "Where is Jiaxuan? Why didn't he come with you?"

On this day, Secretary Zhong sought out Fu Peijia and said to her with great difficulty: "Miss, this cannot continue. Mr. Fu has never been someone easy to deceive. We need to think of another way."

Alright, I understand. Qiao Jiaxuan entered the documents that were at hand, with no further instructions.

Fu Peijia is a pit of fire for him; he knows all too well what the outcome will be if he jumps in himself

In this world, half of it is made up of women. Moreover, he has always had an outstanding Chen Yunxi by his side. He will forget Fu Peijia. It is certain.

Now, Qiao Jiaxuan finally understands what it means to play with fire and suffer the consequences of one's own actions

Fu Peijia actually has no certainty at all

Once, the father's traditional Chinese-style office has now been renovated, replaced with a clean and sleek gray style. Everything here coldly reminds Fu Peijia that this place has long been the domain of the Qiao family.

He had already known Fu Peijia since he was seven years old. At that time, she had just come into the world. At that time, his name was Zeng Dongting

Fu Peijia could only offer kind words of comfort, asking him to help delay for a while longer

If it were another illness, she might be able to calmly disclose everything

To live and strive for revenge, everything for revenge, all for the sake of revenge. This has been the driving force and purpose for Qiao Jiaxuan over the years. Therefore, even though it is difficult to part with, he can only move towards the goal of revenge, stepping on the path of no return filled with sharp nails, one step at a time, walking down with bloodshed.

It is true! Father has woken up. Fu Peijia, overwhelmed with joy, rushed to the bedside and exclaimed: "Father"

Mr. Fu, there are still matters to attend to at the company, so I will take my leave. Please take good care of yourself, and I will come to see you again in a few days

He gained all of this, which means he will forever lose Fu Peijia

At this point, do I still need to deceive you?

No need for that, let's get straight to the point. Ask whatever you wish to know, and I will tell you everything you want to know

Qiao Jiaxuan noticed her silence and slowly walked over, stopping beside her: "This deal is quite advantageous for you.

As long as you agree, I can fulfill the agreement on the same day

How could she possibly have the ability to make him help her

However, he unexpectedly fell asleep just like that

Deliberately forgetting, coupled with the absence of any further intersection, there was a period when Qiao Jiaxuan truly felt that he had forgotten. He began to enter and exit the office with Chen Yunxi at the same time, and even often had lunch together.

He is so confident

Fu Peijia hesitated for a long time before finally saying in a hesitant manner: "Uncle Zhong said ... ... "

This is Qiao Jiaxuan's perfect plan for the second half of his life

The first meeting was quite successful. Father Fu Chengxiong clearly had no doubts whatsoever

Fu Peijia was astonished

In front of Fu Peijia, who was in tears and heartbroken, Qiao Jiaxuan could no longer stay for even a second longer. He feared that he would lose control, that he would be unable to resist agreeing to all her requests

That night, he sat in the office for the entire night. He also knew that Fu Peijia had waited for him at home all night.

Having avenged his great grievance, he has reclaimed what belongs to him, the Zeng family legacy. He should be overjoyed and ecstatic.

However, after another two months, he still exhibited the same symptoms. It was as if he were possessed; whenever he heard her name, his mind would go blank in an instant, and then he would be unable to concentrate on work for the entire morning and afternoon

"Alright, you and Peijia should go back. I am also tired. Peijia has been working hard these days, so you must take good care of her," Fu Chengxiong said wearily, waving his hand.

Is it delicious? Her eyes are dark and bright, reminiscent of the brilliant twinkling stars on the horizon

No, absolutely not, she is his

In one corner of the living room, there stood a black piano. Fu Peijia's gaze lingered on it for a second, or even a shorter time, before she moved on.

This is a way of crying that is even more heart-wrenching than a soul-piercing wail.

Fu Peijia turned her head, puzzled about where he intended to go with his "let's go"

Fu Chengxiong woke up in the hospital with amnesia, and Qiao Jiaxuan was fully aware of this, thus he understood the purpose of Fu Peijia's visit

Miss, it is not that I am unwilling to help. I estimate that I can only deceive Mr. Fu for at most another week.

He lingered outside the door for a long time, yet he never turned around

A few days later, Secretary Zhong, with a troubled expression, laid it all out for her: "Miss, I truly have no ability to continue hiding this from Mr. Fu. Alas, unless that person named Qiao is willing to come forward and cover up the lie, it will eventually be exposed sooner or later"

Subsequently, every step of his plan proceeded very smoothly; he successfully proposed, married Fu Peijia, gained the trust of Fu Chengxiong, and ultimately succeeded in causing the bankruptcy of the Fu family, which also left Fu Chengxiong in a state of shock and unconsciousness

"Miss, why don't we try to look for that person with the surname Qiao..." Secretary Zhong carefully observed her expression and said cautiously

Once, her father lay in a coma. In order to cover his medical expenses and to sustain their living, she was as busy as a spinning top every day, never stopping. However, during that time, she was motivated and had hope. She constantly wished for the day when her father would awaken.

Indeed. Fu Peijia was born to be his.

However, there was none. Not only was there none, but she could even clearly hear the sound of the shower gently splashing through the half-closed bathroom door, hear the sound of water rushing down the drain, hear the sound of Qiao Jiaxuan using the hairdryer to dry his hair, and hear the sound of him pulling the door open to come out

The son of the family is exceptionally talented, and Fu Peijia is as beautiful as a painting. Standing together, they truly resemble a perfect couple. Mrs. Huang feels increasingly satisfied as she observes: "Mr. Fu, times have changed compared to our era; we must respect the opinions of the children. Otherwise, I would have considered directly adopting Peijia."

At the thought of this, Qiao Jiaxuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Fu Peijia seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword, gradually loosening in the embrace of the arms around him: "No, I don't believe it... I don't believe it, Jiaxuan, why do you have to deceive me like this? You have your reasons, don't you?"

From the moment Fu Peijia was born, she was destined to belong to him, Qiao Jiaxuan

Is this still the same Boss who is referred to as the "profit-seeking vulture" in the marketplace? Yuan Jingren naturally felt puzzled

Fu Peijia rushed forward and hugged him tightly from behind: "Jiaxuan, I don't believe it. I can't believe you would do this to me, to my father. Tell me, you are just lying to me, right?"

If it were not for Tan being in the city, Qiao Jiaxuan felt that she would have remained hidden in the shadows, quietly observing everything about her from a distance that was neither too far nor too close

Qiao Jiaxuan's heart was filled with a bittersweet sense of satisfaction. He felt that this sensation was akin to a vague sense of happiness

Qiao Jiaxuan watched helplessly as the tear silently fell, landing on the smooth marble floor, which should have made no sound. However, Qiao Jiaxuan heard that tear "plop" as it landed on his heart, causing a sharp pain akin to sulfuric acid corrosion.

However, she had to admit that there were only two paths before her: to reveal the truth to her father or to seek help from Qiao Jiaxuan

However, all of this was already predetermined, and no one could change it. Qiao Jiaxuan said to himself.

Although personally designing and decorating brings a sense of achievement, when compared to the actual benefits generated in work with the boss, the difference is like that between the underground and the sky

She has cut her gentle long hair short, and her brows and eyes appear more delicate

The walk-in closet is vast, with one quarter of the cabinets dedicated to men's clothing and accessories, while the remaining three quarters are already filled with women's garments of various colors, styles, and brands.

Receiving his affirmation, Fu Peijia immediately smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish. Qiao Jiaxuan naturally noticed the peculiarity and, with a half-smile, put down the chopsticks in his hand: "What exactly is going on? Quickly tell the truth."

However, three months later, Qiao Jiaxuan found that this was a very difficult matter. He always unconsciously thought of Fu Peijia, regardless of time and place.
