hapter 32 Chapter 32 Maybe it's possible, otherwise why...

Maybe it's possible, otherwise why would a man go to a strange woman for sex, have a one-night stand, have a woman become a prostitute, anything can be done with money.

But these things shouldn't be done by him. The filter was shattered before, but it can't be completely immoral.

Xiaozhen whispered: "You have really changed a lot, I almost don't recognize you."

Qiao Yihua said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "What am I like? In your heart, I am not like this, a rotten person who will never be forgiven in my life, you are the most pure and innocent."

Xiaozhen touched the flowers and lowered her head in silence.

The evening wind blew through her hair, and her whole body shivered.

The sun after the rain was particularly dazzling, and it set in just a few minutes.

The smell of separation became stronger and stronger. There was no longer anything between them. It seemed that talking was like a debate. Winning or losing was not important. What was important was to hurt each other. After a few days, it seemed as if nothing had happened. Intimacy or cracks spread silently and would break at the right time.

Xiaozhen could feel the sound of breaking.

Qiao Yihua stopped talking about it and said, "You should be free now. No one can control you. I have no right to control you. Your father died in a car accident last year. You can do whatever you want."

Xiaozhen looked at him in disbelief, "What?"

"He died. I didn't tell you during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year." He said it calmly.

Xiaozhen was stunned and dumbfounded. After a while, she recovered and said, "He died. What does it have to do with me? I don't care."

When I first came to Shanghai, I dreamed of this father countless times, always playing a negative role. When I was a child, I was ashamed to have such a father for a long time. I imagined countless times that I had a normal family with my father and mother.

Later, this fantasy was vague. It was passed on to so many people all the way. I was happy to have a good place to live.

Until I saw him again because of the incident between me and Qiao Yihua, he kept beating, scolding, and humiliating her as always. The desperate and horrible breath spread for a month. Every time I woke up, it was because of this father.

I didn't expect him to die. He died. Although I imagined him dying when I was a child, it was still unbelievable when this day came.

There was no one in this world who could bother her anymore. She no longer had nightmares about him in her dreams at midnight. The knock on the door was mixed with her own crying.

Xiaozhen closed her eyes and tears instantly burst out.

The bouquet of flowers in her hand fell to the ground and she stepped on it unconsciously. Qiao Yihua reached out and grabbed Xiaozhen's arm, supporting her shaky body.

"Thank you." Xiaozhen said, "Thank you for not telling me at the time. I really hate him. I never resent the poor living conditions, the lack of food and clothing, but if you give birth to a child but don't raise him, you are unworthy of being a human being, and if you raise a child but don't teach him, you are unworthy of being a parent. My life has been ruined by him."

She was like a flower that sometimes bloomed beautifully and sometimes withered. Qiao Yihua knew that the timing of her words was too abrupt, and she didn't expect her reaction to be so strong.

Xiaozhen said with a smile: "Am I liberated in this life? Mom is long gone, he finally died, but I made you like this, like an enemy. I know what you think. They came to find me, you felt guilty but annoyed with me, wanted to separate from me but couldn't say it, are you afraid that I would commit suicide? No, no."

She muttered: "I know that the most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once."

He knew what she was talking about.

When Xiaozhen and Cui Fengsheng were in love, he and Zhou Jiandong had several in-depth talks. In addition to the transfer of business, the most important conditions were already mature.

Two years ago, Zhou Jiandong talked with Qiao Yihua to dissolve the brother-sister relationship between Qiao Yihua and Qiao Xiaozhen. They were just casually written when the Internet was not developed at that time, and it didn't count.

No one thought so much when making this decision, but legally they were brother and sister, and Qiao Yihua had no father and was not married. His mother had returned to Beijing a long time ago and had no covetousness or concern for his property. Even if she cared, it was reasonable, because they were his biological parents.

At present, Xiaozhen is the legal heir, and she has become the direct beneficiary from the second-in-line heir.

The company materials have been submitted, and it is irreversible after listing. The equity can be inherited. Any agreement signed between the siblings cannot resist the legal beneficiaries, which is different from husband and wife.

When I mentioned it to Qiao Yihua two years ago, he waved his hand and said it was absolutely impossible. At that time, they were so passionate that their minds were overwhelmed.

When it was mentioned again this year, Zhou Jiandong was a gentle professor before retirement, and he was not polite at all.

"Your status is different. You have worked so hard to get to where you are now, and you almost ruined your reputation. You cannot take any risks. I have nothing to say if Miss Xiaozhen stays behind the scenes. You know very well that she is bold and daring, and you can't control her at all. Not only is she not suitable to be your wife, she is even less suitable to be your lover. After the listing, your equity will be stable, and any slight disturbance on her part will cause you even greater trouble than before. By then, you will be responsible to the shareholders and you will need to explain everything in detail, otherwise the shareholders' meeting can vote you out at any time."

When Zhou Jiandong said this, Qiao Yihua leaned back in his chair, thinking and not speaking.

"Yihua, your father's casual remark at the beginning did not mean that he really wanted Miss Xiaozhen to be your biological sister. You know it very well. You can support her financially like sponsoring a student to live independently. Your father did not let you be responsible until you were in your twenties. You should have stopped before going to college, so that you would not be so absurd now."

Qiao Yihua: "That thing was not her fault. It was Zhang Jianhua who deceived her."

"No matter how much Zhang Jianhua deceived her, she should know the consequences of making a decision. She knows very well that the content in the indictment is false to a certain extent, and the harm to a person after being deceived." Zhou Jiandong saw that he was stubborn.

How did he know that it was Zhang Jianhua who did it? It was Zhou Yun who mailed the secretly taken photos to the company. Qiao Yihua recognized her handwriting on the envelope.

There were time watermarks on some photos. The two people were kissing or hugging each other, just in Jing'an's office.

Qiao Yihua was lost in thought with the photos. After thinking for a long time, he realized that Zhang Jianhua often came and went during those days, flattering and absolutely loyal to him.

He went in and out of the office door the most.

There was a camera at the door of the office, and the stored data had been cleared long ago. These photos were obviously taken indoors, facing the desk.

Qiao Yihua walked over, and the things that the camera and video recorder had secretly taken were no longer there.

He was really heartbroken, not because someone would do such a thing, but because he was secretly photographed by such a dirty method without knowing it. He

originally wanted to call the police, but after calming down for a long time, he thought about it and handed it over to Xia Qiang to investigate. It was not until he saw that Zhang Jianhua’s things were not thrown away after leaving the workstation in the warehouse, and the outer packaging box of the camera was exactly the same brand.

Unlike before, Qiao Yihua did not curse or get angry, but listened to Xia Qiang's words expressionlessly, including the cleaning lady's words at the time, that she had seen the camera twice and remembered that it was very advanced and new.

From the beginning when he received the subpoena, he could not figure out why he did such abrupt things to Xiaozhen. Even though he felt uncomfortable and sad to be together, he knew how deep their feelings were.

As a driver, it was not difficult for Fangzi to find the doubts and sent her to a psychological counseling center.

When Fangzi and Xia Qiang went there again, the door was already closed and covered with dust. It must have been a long time since she left. Through the glass window, you can still see the head of Doctor Xie in the business card box scattered on the ground.

Fangzi used a thin thread to pass through the gap to take out a business card. When she called, the phone was turned off.

The so-called Doctor Xie was just Zhang Jianhua's mistress.

After Zhang Jianhua left Hualing, he was promoted all the way. Doctor Xie listened to his advice and closed the door to concentrate on being a housewife, occasionally going to study at night.

This is why Qiao Yihua insisted on letting Ren Qiu go to the night university for further studies. Doctor Xie's surname is not Xie, but Wang. Her name is Wang Caihua. She is about 30 years old, with a secondary technical school degree, and has never studied psychology. All the content of the sermon was all Zhang Jianhua asked her to consult a psychologist, and he wrote down everything and repeated it to Xiaozhen.

Xiaozhen was in a bad state at the time and was in a trance. A group of people coaxed her, brainwashed her, and hypnotized her, and she soon collapsed.

After the reconciliation, she could no longer remember what she heard or said. She was physically tortured, mentally tortured, and had a strong reaction during pregnancy. She had no idea what was going on. She just felt pain, retching, and couldn't eat. She was losing weight all the time. She had no time to review and think about whether it was correct or not.

When Qiao Yihua heard the content of the investigation, he kept turning his pen in his hand. His deep and bottomless eyes listened to these with empty eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at the time. He had been playing tricks for a whole year and was completely

screwed. He involved so many people and used so many people. He didn't know that his group of people were being played around. If it was a few years after he graduated from college, in the 1980s or even the early 1990s, he should have thought of ways to lure Zhang Jianhua to the high seas of Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong.

Now it is the year 2000, and times have changed.

Qiao Yihua said that this was not Xiaozhen's fault, and he was right. It was indeed not her fault.

However, he knew very well that if she realized her mistake, she would apologize when they met again, but Xiaozhen was very determined and still said stubbornly, "I will not forgive you."

Her attitude these days, from quarreling to dating Cui Fengsheng, all his fantasies of beautiful things had long since vanished.

Zhou Jiandong was right, he was stubborn, and the reason for his stubbornness was guilt.

The root of all the guilt was her pregnancy, which was a hurdle that he could not get over, and the pain that was suppressed in his heart.

Qiao Yihua said with a self-deprecating smile: "Uncle Zhou, you may be worrying too much. She hates me so much now that she won't covet other things."

Zhou Jiandong stopped being tough, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "I've met Miss Xiaozhen a few times. She is a very nice girl. It's normal for you and your father to like her. She is well-educated, sensible and does not overstep the line. She is a good child. I wouldn't say much about this in the past. She graduated from college and got married and had a good home. As a relative and her family, you should support her in terms of money and power. But you broke this suitable relationship. She no longer respects and is grateful to you. She only has the temper of a little woman. The separation will not last long."
