Chapter 754

The two of them did not think for a single moment that they were even the slightest bit wrong.

Everyone else might be wrong, but they were not.

Today's matter was the same.

It was Shu Xia who did not know what was good for her; if Shu Xia had known when to retreat and accepted the check to leave at the beginning, today's events would never have happened.

One who brings disaster upon oneself cannot live; she could not blame anyone else.

The more Qiao Guanqing thought about it, the more he felt he was not wrong.

For Qiao Muting to come and threaten him and Hua Qian in all sorts of ways today was simply rebellious and nonsensical! He was failing to distinguish between close and distant relations for the sake of a woman.

Qiao Muting's face was like cold ice.

Without saying a word, he lifted his foot and walked toward the outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Guanqing widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Qiao Muting.

Deep in his heart, he always believed that he, as a father, carried great weight in Qiao Muting's heart, and that others could not compare.

Even if he hated him as a father in his heart, he would absolutely never be rebellious toward him as a father for the sake of others.

"Stop!"

Seeing that Qiao Muting was about to take his final step out of the villa, Qiao Guanqing shouted a stern command to stop him.

Hua Qian's heart was on the verge of jumping out of her chest; it was pounding violently. She absolutely could not let everything she had worked so hard to obtain be destroyed just like this.

"It seems you have decided on the two choices." Qiao Muting raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "You have one minute; there is no need for nonsense, I only want to hear the answer."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Guanqing nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hua Qian was nearly so angry she wanted to burst into a torrent of abuse.

Fortunately, the two of them were able to remain somewhat rational.

"What kind of evidence do you actually have? Did someone tell you something not..."

Qiao Guanqing had only just begun his sentence, and before he could finish, Qiao Muting stepped out.

He appeared completely unmoved, his attitude firm.

Qiao Guanqing was so angry he nearly couldn't catch his breath; his aged face was tightly wrinkled, and it was a long time before he spat out a breath of foul air. "I choose neither. I can agree to you being with Shu Xia; I won't interfere in your affairs in the future, and even if others in the Qiao Family ask, I can put in a few good words for you. Otherwise, you know how difficult those people in the family can be."

Those two options were simply a joke!

Hua Qian breathed a sigh of relief; for a moment just now, she had thought Qiao Guanqing would agree to the first condition to appease Qiao Muting's fury.

However.

Qiao Muting chuckled softly.

He turned his head to look at Hua Qian.

"I've changed my mind; there is only one choice."

Hua Qian was terrified. "Are you crazy!"

——

Hospital.

Shu Xia felt dazed, as if in a dream, yet also as if in reality. The moment she opened her eyes and looked at the hospital room, it felt increasingly unreal.

Was she in the hospital?

Not that terrifying factory building?

Could it be that she had lost too much blood and was finally hallucinating?

Vaguely, she seemed to have seen Qiao Muting.

At the moment she was about to collapse, the person who appeared before her eyes was actually Qiao Muting.

Just as she was drifting off, still unable to distinguish reality from a dream, Zhang Tezhu's magnified face appeared before her eyes.

That face was gradually covered by an expression of pleasant surprise. "The Madam is awake!"

"Awake? Let me see." Guo Nan had originally been leaning against the sofa to the side, half-asleep and yawning, but upon hearing Zhang Tezhu's exclamation, he stood up abruptly from the sofa and strode toward the hospital bed.

Hearing the two familiar voices, Shu Xia looked at Zhang Tezhu and spoke with a slow reaction: "You saved me?"

Everything that happened just now, it turned out, was not a dream.

It was real.

"Yes, Qiao saved the Madam. Those few people have already been caught by us, and the wounds on your body have all been treated. It's fortunate we appeared in time," Zhang Tezhu replied immediately.

Appeared in time...
