Chapter 862: Love Beginning from a Breakup 51

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xu indeed became much happier.

He had previously heard Shen Qing say that this antitoxin serum was very hard to obtain, and Shen Qing herself only knew a way to get it.

In such a short time, Jin Chen had already found the serum, surely having expended considerable effort.

That lingering worry in his heart had decreased considerably.

Qiao Xu buried his face in his water-filled hands, splashed and washed it clean, then, with water dripping from his face, rubbed himself into Jin Chen's embrace.

Do you really like me?

Yes.

Jin Chen also imitated his tone, took a towel from the rack beside him, and carefully dried the young master with his head tilted back, saying, "Although Young Master Qiao likes to run away from home and also likes to get angry, I still like him."

Qiao Xu: "……"

He pouted, pulling at Jin Chen's face with both hands, thinking his tone was fierce, saying, "You're screwing me over."

It was definitely deliberate, utterly despicable.

Even if I have many flaws, you can't go looking for someone else!

And you also have many bad habits.

Upon hearing that, Jin Chen held the person and walked toward the living room, asking as he went, "What habits? Let me hear them."

Being embraced around the waist by him, moving forward made him feel like a penguin; only after flopping onto the sofa did he begin counting on his fingers.

You always think that when danger comes, as long as you bear it alone it's fine, so you never tell me, but you never considered that I would feel sad when I think I can't be of help.

Moreover, you keep many secrets to yourself, then go resolve and digest them, and you refuse to tell me.

Saying this, Qiao Xu suddenly glanced at Jin Chen, muttering as he bent another finger on his palm, "You used to always like to sulk; although you don't anymore, I still have to deduct points."

Jin Chen: "……"

That's quite unfair, but we'll let it go.

Seeing the five fingers on his right hand about to be bent completely, he laughed through tears, saying, "In your eyes, I have so many flaws."

Qiao Xu stared, not knowing what he had thought of, then knelt and sat up, snuggling into Jin Chen's embrace, firmly comforting, "Although you have many flaws, I still really like you."

Exactly the same lines.

Jin Chen laughed out loud, finally realizing that the young master refused to be at a disadvantage when it came to pros and cons.

Two days later, Qiao Xu strongly demanded that the bell on his leg be removed.

An even stronger demand was that he wanted to go out for some fresh air.

In the villa, his waist was almost breaking.

Although he had grown accustomed to the bell, occasionally hearing it still left a psychological shadow.

During the process of removing the bell, Jin Chen was also not idle.

For example, when the two received a call from Qing Kui in the morning, asking them to return to the Jin Family residence, they only left the villa in the evening.

——

Are you guys wanting to……negotiate?

In the inner hall sat the Jin Family members and Qiao Yushu, as well as the respective lawyer teams of the Qiao Family and the Jin Family Group.

The atmosphere was so solemn it could be called a triple hall trial.

Jin Chen and Qiao Xu were asked to sit on the central sofa, with their respective relatives on either side.

This feeling was still quite wonderful.

Jin Third Uncle wore a military coat, his visage stern, his gaze wandering over Jin Chen and Qiao Xu, and he was the first to answer Jin Chen's question.

Today I summoned you here to thoroughly resolve the feud between the two families.

If it keeps piling up like this, even if neither family stops them from being together, various kinds of competition will arise later, and saying it won't have an effect is definitely false.

How to resolve it? Jin Chen asked, instinctively taking Qiao Xu's hand and interlocking their fingers, able to feel him visibly beginning to tense.

Their action did not escape the eyes of the parents present.

Qing Kui lowered her eyes, fingering the jade bracelet on her wrist, yet felt relieved inside.

Although she loathed Jin Fu to the utmost, Jin Chen, no matter what, is still her flesh and blood; now that she has her beloved, her attitude toward love has not inherited Jin Fu's.

That is enough.

Jin Tingxiao also calmed down considerably, gesturing for the lawyer team to hand the documents to Qiao Yushu.

Ten years ago, although we were all victims, no matter how you say it, the Jin Family owes you an apology.

Saying compensation now is too late, but for the sake of the two children, I still hope you can consider it.

Qiao Yushu did not immediately respond, took the document and glanced at it a few times, also not failing to feel his son's gaze upon him, and glared angrily.

Are you just worried that I won't accept it?

Qiao Xu pressed his lips, his voice small and lacking confidence, "Dad already agreed, didn't he? Jin Fu is a beast, but Jin Chen is not at fault..."

I didn't say he was at fault either.

Qiao Yushu closed the document, pondering for a few moments.

From any angle, these terms are already sufficiently generous, and they will subsequently bring immeasurable value and a continuous stream of income.

But the Qiao Family never lacks money……what they lack is the ability to protect themselves and a voice in the black market.

If he had had a voice in the black market back then, and connections to resist in the US-Europe Alliance, then Moli would not have died innocently, and even the murderer would not have taken ten years to be identified.

I don't need your compensation.

Qiao Yushu pushed the document back, adjusted his glasses, "I want something else, and you need to give it directly to Qiao Xu."

Jin Third Uncle: "You say, as long as my older brother can do it, it's fine."

Jin Tingxiao: "……"

That's true as said, but you might also be overly generous toward me.

Qiao Yushu: "I want Qiao Xu to have his own voice and connections in the black market even without the status of being Jin Chen's partner."

"As for how to arrange it, that's up to you."

Jin Tingxiao probably could guess why Qiao Yushu made such a request.

He was thinking about giving that field to Qiao Xu when he heard his wife Silence, who had been silent for a long time, speak.

"Is that box I gave you earlier still here?"

This was said to Qiao Xu; he quickly nodded, took it out from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Qing Kui smiled; though her tone was cold, it conveyed the tenderness within, "Open it and have a look."

Only now did Qiao Xu understand what Qing Kui meant that night.

He had decided that no matter what happened, he would not break up with Jin Chen, so today he could open this box.

Everyone's gaze converged; Qiao Xu pressed the mechanism's clasp and opened the wooden box.

Inside lay only a very exquisite medal, though it appeared worn by cold frost.

Third Uncle Jin was the first to recognize it, looking at Qing Kui in disbelief.

"You want to give this to him?"

Qing Kui nodded, met Qiao Xu's doubtful gaze, and patiently explained, "This is the highest-ranking medal bestowed by the Euro-American Alliance upon me; it can be passed down to descendants."

"As long as one holds the medal, they can command all mercenaries within the alliance who once belonged to the First Mercenary Regiment."

Qiao Xu: "Ah..."

He immediately felt the medal in his hand grow a little hot.

He instinctively looked toward Jin Chen; the two locked eyes for a few seconds, then both turned to look at Qiao Yushu.

"Father... are you satisfied?"

Qiao Yushu: "..."

He also truly hadn't expected them to be this sincere.
