“Can’t you not go? Just stay here with us. Don’t go back to the organization or your godfather.”
Qiao Jing revealed a rare vulnerability.
The windows in Qiao Yue’s room were open. It was early spring, and the wind brought smells of grass and trees into the room. Qiao Yue felt a sadness emanating from the bottom of her heart.
“I must go this time.” Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing. “You have things you need to protect. So do I.”
“The thing you want to protect, is it your organization…?”
Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue, his eyes filled with sorrow.
“So you know.” Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing. “You probably already know who I am.’ 11 Qiao Jing knew everything. “Do you know who the financial backer of the AST organization is?”
“It’s the Eugene family. Andy and Trand’s family. They killed your mother, didn’t they? Do you still want to go back?”
“Yes.” Qiao Yue nodded.
“Why? Is it because the Godfather raised you or is it because of something else?”
Qiao Jing’s heart was filled with sorrow.
“Because I love the Godfather.”
Qiao Yue’s eyes were very calm, but what she said was like a bolt of lightning. Qiao Jing was so shocked that he was speechless.
“What did you just say?” Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue. The young girl’s eyes were calm, as if these words were nothing more than a common sentence. The Godfather?
The mysterious man who was the founder of the AST organization?
Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue and smiled bitterly. “Is this an excuse you made up for me to send you away?”
“No.” Qiao Yue sat down slowly and looked at Qiao Jing.
The liveliness that she had when she looked at him before was gone. In its place was a gaze as dead as a pool of stagnant water.
“I came to the Qiao family to fulfill my mother’s last wish. Although there were a few scums in the Qiao family, my mother has always loved Grandpa, so I won’t do anything to him. Now that Grandpa’s health is much better, I don’t need to stay here anymore.”
Qiao Yue’s tone was very calm.
“I’ve always liked the Godfather. Our agreement was that I would become his woman after I fulfilled my mother’s last wish.”
“Qiao Yue!” Qiao Jing was at the verge of a breakdown. “Don’t you understand how I feel? Why do you still want to go back to that man?”
Qiao Jing leaned forward. He only needed to lean forward a little more to be able to hold the girl in front of him.
“What can your feelings do? Qiao Jing, can your feelings help me get revenge?” Qiao Yue sneered. “Well, if you are willing to punish your mother, I’ll consider your suggestion.”
Qiao Jing sat down dejectedly with a bitter smile. “I always thought you understood.”
“I don’t.” Qiao Yue stood up and continued, “Being with the Godfather has always been my dream and his wish. I was taken away by him when I was young, and I grew up by his side. I don’t know who else I can rely on other than him.”
Qiao Jing saw that Qiao Yue wasn’t going to change her mind and smiled bitterly. “Qiao Yue, I won’t let you go.”
“You think you can trap me?”
Qiao Yue’s voice came from behind him.
“No matter what, I won’t give you the chance.”
The door closed in Qiao Yue’s face and she sat on the floor dejectedly. She had never thought that their relationship would come to this.
If she were to find out more about her mother’s past, she had to go back to the Godfather.
But she didn’t want Qiao Jing to go back with her. Qiao Jing wouldn’t punish the Qiao family for her sake. She also didn’t want to see Qiao Jing hurt his own family because of her.
Their relationship had reached an impasse and there was no way out.
Qiao Yue packed her things. She didn’t packed many things, just some clothes, files, laptop, and the pistol that she had locked away.
She still remembered that on the first day she came to the Qiao residence, she killed a wolf with this pistol.
It was also from that day that her life and Qiao Jing’s were entangled.
Qiao Yue laughed at herself. If only the Qiao family didn’t take her in or drive her away that day…
If that happened, her life and Qiao Jing’s wouldn’t become so entangled that they ended up like this.
Qiao Yue took one last look at her room, put the pistol in her suitcase, and turned to leave..
