Chapter 187 Will Not Give Up
At the Qi Family villa, Wang Xiaoman pushed open the door of Xia Luoxin and saw her daughter sitting in front of the window. He frowned and said, “Luo Xin, are you really going to give up?”
Ever since returning from the hospital that day, Xia Luoxin had kept herself locked up in her room. The food was not good, she did not sleep well, and she did not even speak to Wang Xiaoman seriously. This made her very panicked and uneasy, afraid that something would happen to her only daughter.
The room was quiet. Sunlight pierced through the window and landed on the table. It was obviously warm, but it made people feel a burst of inexplicable gloomy coldness.
“Give up?” Xia Luoxin slowly turned to look at Wang Xiaoman and raised her eyebrows. “Mom, I’m your daughter. How could I give up!”
Releasing Wang Xiaoman and Xia Yan who were married, Wang Xiaoman had always insisted on not letting go of Xia Yan before Xia Luobing’s mother passed away. As expected, she waited until she became the serious Madam Xia.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Wang Xiaoman was obviously stunned, but she quickly smiled in satisfaction. She reached out to touch Xia Luoxin’s hair and said, “Mom knew you wouldn’t.”
She also loved her daughter, but in Wang Xiaoman’s eyes, the best happiness was married into a wealthy family, with endless money and an enviable social status.
Ever since the incident with the Xia Corporation, Wang Xiaoman’s status among the noble wives had drastically declined. The people who used to be her sisters were completely ignoring her now. She even wanted to use Huo Yunqi’s identity as mother-in-law to get her back!
“What are you going to do?” Wang Xiaoman said with concern, “Mom will help you.”
A cold light flashed in Xia Luoxin’s eyes as she smiled sinisterly, “No need, I can handle it.”
She would personally drive Xia Luobing out of Yunqi’s heart and he would know that she was the only one in the world who loved him the most.
“Alright, Mom trusts you!”
Charlotte flicked her fingers on the flowers on the windowsill, her fingertips shining with a trace of cold air. She blinked her eyes, and the cold air disappeared without a trace, as if it was just another person’s illusion.
That afternoon, Xia Luoxin drove to an apartment in City A. Half an hour later, Feng Shuo appeared in the apartment. Seeing Xia Luoxin sitting leisurely on the sofa and reading the newspaper with coffee, Feng Shuo narrowed his eyes and walked over to sneer, “I heard that President Xia is ill in hospital. You are in a good mood to come find me.”
“I came here specifically to see if my partner is well.” Xia Luoxin took a sip of coffee and put away the newspaper in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Feng Shuo with a smile. “It seems that you’re having a very bad time. It’s hard for Xia Luobing to catch up with you, isn’t it?”
Feng Shuo smiled coldly, “Mutual.”
Xia Luoxin’s face turned pale and she snorted coldly. She and Feng Shuo were originally fifty steps and laughed a hundred steps. Otherwise, she would have taken the initiative to look for him.
“I have something to ask you.” Xia Luoxin said in a deep voice, her expression especially ugly. “The more this time, the better we need to cooperate.”
Feng Shuo didn’t say anything. He looked at Charlotte and narrowed his eyes, signaling her to continue.
“I know you’re in trouble now. Perhaps I can help you.” Charlotte smiled in her heart, and her eyes curled into a scheming smile. “Feng Yuanfei and Feng Qingsong are your uncles after all. If you don’t want to make a move, you can exchange it for me.”
Feng Shuo stared at Xia Luoxin with a sharp gaze.
Xia Luoxin wasn’t nervous at all. He smiled and said, “As long as a piece of news is covered, who will notice what happened before, don’t you think?”
Hearing this, Feng Shuo was stunned and immediately understood what Charlotte meant. Because Charlotte had escaped from the villa these past few days, he had been in a bad mood and hadn’t thought of such a simple reason.
Seeing the expression on Feng Shuo’s face, Xia Luoxin knew that he understood. He continued, “Do you need my help?”
Feng Shuo looked at her with a cold gaze. He would never let Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi be together.
The next morning, an interrogation file began to circulate on the Internet about the intoxication of the current CEO of the Dow Group.
Five years ago, one night, Intoxicated was raped by many people. Later, he went abroad and left City A. Now that he had returned, he was able to bring about the development of the Tao family. It could not be said that he was not strong.
On the surface, the news content was to praise Intoxication’s strength and hard work. However, once the news broke, everyone’s focus was directly on the first half of the story. Intoxication had been raped by others.
For a moment, the entire A City business circle stirred up a huge uproar. Many people directly ran over to intoxicate her and asked her about this matter. The originally scabbed wound was torn open by someone, and the bloody wound was so painful that it pierced through their hearts.
“Bang!”
Charlotte pushed open the door of the intoxicated bedroom. The room was dark, and the thick curtains completely blocked the sunlight. Intoxicated sat in a corner with her hands crossed over her knees, her long hair hanging down to cover most of her face.
Even if he could not see the expression on her face, Xia Luobing knew that she must be very sad.
Five years had passed, but Charlotte still remembered how intoxicated she was back then. It was so intoxicating that it made one’s heart ache.
She quickly took two steps into the bedroom and carefully squatted down to carry her into her arms. She whispered, “Intoxicated, I’m Luo Bing. I’ve always been here, I’m here.”
Intoxicated, she was like a statue, motionlessly letting Charlotte hold her, her body shivering.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Xia Luobing muttered, her heart filled with sadness.
She was her best sister. Looking at her like this, her heart ached badly.
Five years ago, Huo Yunzhan was still standing by her side, but now, how could she resist by herself?
The two of them sat on the floor in such a posture that Charlotte heard an intoxicated hoarse voice for an unknown amount of time.
“Bing Bing, I want to go abroad.”
This place had hurt her endlessly, and now she only wanted to leave.
Moreover, in her crazy yearning for Huo Yunzhan and Bai Lin’s indescribable attachment, her heart was tortured and sad as if she was about to die. Now that someone had discovered what happened many years ago, she really should leave. This was good for everyone.
Xia Luobing pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say. Tao Zui was so sad. She was her best friend, but she didn’t know what to do.
“Alright, you can do whatever you want. I will support you.” Xia Luobing choked, her eyes red.
She did not remember what had happened before. After seeing this piece of news, her entire body was stunned. She suddenly understood that Intoxicated had concealed this paragraph when she told her what had happened back then.
After she hurriedly asked Huo Yunqi, she was dumbfounded and suddenly understood the attachment and yearning she had for Huo Yunzhan.
Intoxicated, he tugged at the corner of his mouth and his eyes were still dim. It turned out that it was so hard for such a man to be happy.,
“Bing Bing, help me up.” Intoxicated, he said softly, “My legs are numb.”
Her voice was extremely arduous, as if she had eaten an unripe persimmon. From her mouth to her heart, she felt bitter and sad.
“Alright.”
Xia Luobing carefully helped Tao Zui lean more than half of her weight on her body. He carefully helped her to sit down on the bed, pulled the quilt over her body and handed her a glass of water. Then, she sat down by the bed and whispered, “Where are you going?”
In the past two years, Intoxicated One had slowly transferred all of the Tao Clan’s properties to City A. Xia Luobing couldn’t think of a place to go.
Father Tao was already old, and Tao Yu was still young. Being intoxicated was impossible for him to abandon everything without caring about it.
However, what she said next made Xia Luobing know that her friend who pretended to be strong was really unable to hold on any longer, and her heart felt even more uncomfortable.
“As long as we leave this place, it’s good everywhere,” he said intoxicated. “It doesn’t matter where we go.”
Since Huo Yunzhan wasn’t here, what was the point of her going anywhere?
Charlotte fell silent when she heard this. She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Tao Zui, maybe you should stay. I will always be by your side.” Xia Luoxin carefully organized her vocabulary, “No matter what happens, I will always be by your side, right?”
As long as she thought of how intoxicated she was by dragging a heavy suitcase to the security checkup, and how she left behind a lonely figure, she felt as if she was going to die. She felt as if she was going to die of heartache.
“Ice.” Intoxicated, he called out her name and couldn’t say a word in a hurry. He grabbed her hand and shed tears.
The room was quiet. Under the light, Xia Luobing fa held onto her intoxicated hand and gently exerted force, “You’ll still be long. Be strong, even if it’s for Huo Yunzhan, you still have to hold on, okay?”
Huo Yunzhan!
Her fingers trembled as she looked up at Charlotte. Her lips trembled and she said with difficulty, “Ice, I’m not worthy of him. I’m not worthy of him anymore.”
All the inferiority complex that had been overcome had now surged out. She felt that her life was bleak. How could such a bleak self be worthy of such an outstanding him? He was like a brilliant gaze that made people unable to open their eyes, causing them to feel inferior.
However, she really missed him, really wanted to pounce into his arms and cry, telling him how sad she was.
“Huo Yunzhan already gave you an answer to this question five years ago, so I’m intoxicated. Don’t question his feelings.” Xia Luobing said seriously. After thinking for a while, she looked at her and asked, “If Huo Yunzhan came back now, but he was seriously injured, would you dislike him?”
“No!” Intoxicated, he blurted out, then said in a more resolute tone, “He won’t be seriously injured, he definitely won’t.”
He will live well, live well, and then take a wife and have children.
She hoped that he would live a good life, but thinking that his happy life had nothing to do with her, she still felt a little sad.
“Intoxicated, I want to tell you something about Huo Yunzhan.” Charlotte held her intoxicated hand and said hesitantly, “But you must promise to be calm.”
Intoxicated, her fingers tightened as she asked, “Did something happen to Huo Yunzhan?”
She had been feeling a little uneasy, waiting for someone to disappear for so long. During this period of time, not even an email or a single message had been sent to her.
“After Huo Yunzhan was injured, he lost contact with Zhu Bu. Actually, we don’t know where he is.” Xia Luobing’s words were very difficult. She paused for a moment before she slowly said the following half of the sentence, “He was seriously injured at that time. Perhaps …”
“No way! Definitely not!” “Luo Bing, he must be alive. No matter how badly injured he is, he must still be alive!”
Charlotte sighed, “Even if you were alive, you could still be crippled. Can you really accept such a person?”
“I love him.” “I will wait here for him to come back. No matter what he becomes, I will love him.”
People are so strange. Although they are already riddled with wounds, they can always find a difficult supporting point in the most desperate times.
“So you gave up on leaving City A?” Xia Luobing asked uncertainly.
Intoxicated nodded and smiled bitterly, “The world is so big, where can I hide?”
