C28 Don't Kill Them All

Today was Shen Yan Si. Tomorrow, Qiao Heng would probably have Shen Xiao Ru and the Xu Family come looking for her. She was just a small character who couldn't afford to pay so much attention to her.

"Are you really so heartless that you won't give me a chance?"

Qiao Heng's voice was hoarse and his tone was incomparably lonely. Listening to him caused one's heart to break.

Unfortunately, the one who heard him was Xu Xiangqing, and the one who spoke to him was Ling Yanhao. Both of them only had one thought in their minds.

Good acting.

Other than that, there was nothing else he could think of, not to mention being moved by his sincere voice.

"Don't be so dubious. Other than this engagement that was set up without my consent, there shouldn't be any other feelings between us, right?"

Having been sold once by the Xu Family, Xu Nianqing already knew how profitable these merchants were. They wouldn't be as naive as they were in the past, believing that Qiao Heng really liked her.

At the end of the day, Qiao Heng wanted the bride's surname to be Xu, not her.

If Qiao Heng was truly a person who valued love more than anything, how could Shen Yan Si remain single for so many years with no results?

"Qiao Heng, we both know what this wedding means. Don't make things difficult for me anymore. "You should also know how the Xu Family treats me, and how marrying me will help you."

Being hit on the heart, Qiao Heng looked like he had been ripped off the last layer of cloth as he said angrily, "Good! Xu Xiangqing, you are truly heartless! "No matter what, the Xu Family has raised you before. Could it be that you don't even care about the Xu Family?"

Yes, the Xu Family had raised her. When she was almost eighteen years old, the Xu Family had only acknowledged her back when they saw that she had some value that they could use.

Not long after, she was sent to the Ling Family as a commodity, becoming Ling Yanhao's wife. To be fair, how much did the Xu Family give her?

After all, her father was her biological father. No matter how unhappy Xu Nianqing was, she would not harm him. What Qiao Heng would do to the Xu Family was not something she could control.

She knew that her escape before marriage would greatly infuriate Mr Xu. Still, the Xu family was still a large corporation, and there was nothing that Qiao Heng could do. At the very most, it would just be to vent his anger at them.

After making up her mind, Xu Nianqing took a deep breath and smiled calmly, "You're still cooperating with the Xu family in business. You wouldn't offend your business partners just for a small role like mine, right?"

"Are you certain that I don't dare to attack the Xu family?" Qiao Heng gritted his teeth and asked darkly.

"No, I don't care what you do. I just hope that one day, the Xu family will be swallowed up by you just like the Ling family. Hopefully, you can let the Xu family off the hook."

To be honest, what would happen to the Xu Family and the Xu Family? Xu Xiangqing did not care at all. The Xu Family had no feelings for her, but she had her own feelings for them as well.

Even her own father had not treated her as his daughter. Perhaps even her filial piety was nothing to be reckoned with.

Xu Nianqing smirked at herself as she glanced at the grave expression on Ling Yanhao's face, "I hope Boss Qiao will not kill everyone like you did with Ling Yanhao. You can take care of them for the sake of the past."

"Huh? Complete annihilation? "Xu Xiangqing, just what image do you think I have in your heart?"

Qiao Heng was so angry that he laughed instead and said coldly, "Alright, this is a decision you made. Don't regret it in the future!"

After saying that, he fiercely hung up the phone. Qiao Heng had even forgotten that the phone belonged to Shen Yan Si. He angrily fell to the ground and his phone cracked into several pieces.

Escaping from Qiao Heng and the Xu Family was something she would never regret. If she stayed, she would truly regret it for the rest of her life.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xinqing breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Ling Yanhao a comforting smile and said, "I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. Let's go."

Ling Yanhao had a complicated expression on his face. His lips moved slightly, and in the end, he didn't say anything. Carrying the box, he left with Xu Xinqing.

When he had just gotten married to Xu Nianqing, Ling Yanhao had indeed looked down on her because of her illegitimate daughter. He had thought that she had completely set her sights on the glory of the Ling Family by marrying into the Ling Family.

But after the divorce, he no longer had any status, much less the right to despise Xu Xueqing's illegitimate daughter status.

He had originally thought that no matter what, Xu Xueqing would still be the daughter of the Xu Family. Even if she couldn't be treated the same as Xu Meiyan, the Xu Family would definitely not lack her for what they should give her.

But the phone call had changed his mind.

It turned out that the engagement with Qiao Heng wasn't Xu Xuanqing's own idea. She was even very disgusted by the marriage. This made her understand why Xu Xueqing had such a strange attitude towards Qiao Heng.

Ling Yanhao's thoughts began to wander, and he even started to wonder if his marriage with Xu Xueqing had been the same, as he had to 'return to work' with the Xu Family.

His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. After walking a few steps, Ling Yanhao suddenly stopped and called out to Xu Xiangqing. He said softly, "Xu Xiangqing, I have something to ask you."

"What is it?" Xu Nianqing stopped in her tracks and turned around, puzzled.

"The Xu Family … "Is the Xu Family not good for you?"

Ling Yanhao had originally wanted to ask them about the engagement, but as the words reached his mouth and he saw Xu Xiangqing's exhausted expression, his tongue moved, and he automatically changed the question.

"Xu Family?" Xu Nianqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer this question.

"When I heard you call earlier, I felt that your impression of the Xu Family isn't that great. Thus, I casually asked. If you're in a difficult situation, you don't have to answer."

It was rare for him to be so considerate towards Xu Xiangqing, but instead, he felt embarrassed. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and lowered his head to cover the burning sensation in his ears.

"Not really. I just don't want to talk about them."

He had already said a lot of things in front of Ling Yanhao, so he didn't care about one or two of them. Saying them now was better than saying them now. Ling Yanhao had been looking at him with sympathy ever since.

Xu Xiangqing shrugged indifferently and replied, "To the Xu family, I'm just a stranger related to them by blood. Could it be that you can do whatever you want to a stranger?"

But he wouldn't force a stranger to marry someone! The Xu Family had completely treated Xu Nianqing as a product of their marriage. They had obviously never treated her like their daughter.

Even if it was an illegitimate daughter, the Xu Family had overdone it.

Ling Yanhao had forgotten how much he had despised Xu Xiangqing's identity, and had started to help her fight against injustice.

Xu Xiangqing herself did not mind at all. She comforted Ling Yanhao with a pat on his shoulder, "Alright, stop talking. The call just now has already taken up quite a bit of my time. Stop dawdling!"

"I'm just saying it's not worth it for you, can't you be more reasonable?"

Ling Yanhao had been living in a jar of honey the entire time. He couldn't imagine what kind of life Xu Xinqing had had in the Xu Family, but his heart began to throb faintly.
