Kiss the wrong pregnant bride

Chapter 225 Dusty Old Memories

"Don't continue, Qipeng, you don't need to intervene in the Ling family's affairs." Shao Le warned coldly, as if he didn't want Shao Qipeng to get too involved in the investigation of the Ling family's bankruptcy five years ago.

"Why? Daddy, I don't understand. The Ling family had a strong foundation in the business world back then. It is impossible to go bankrupt overnight! There must be something hidden in it." Shao Qipeng retorted, such a simple truth, can't Daddy not Understand?Why stop his investigation?

Shao Le's gloomy face became more and more ugly. His palm slammed on the desk, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air: "Didn't you hear what I said? I asked you to stop all investigations!"

Shao Qipeng looked at his suddenly angry father in astonishment. He could faintly feel that Daddy might know a lot about the Ling family. , do you know something?"

Shao Le's heart twitched. Shao Qipeng's words were not cold, but they made him feel a sense of oppression. This son didn't know when, but he already had the courage and ability to speak with a straight back in front of him!He took out a cigar with slightly trembling fingers, took a deep breath, and the hazy white mist blurred the complicated expression on his face, "Qi Peng, this matter is too complicated, it involves a lot of inside information, listen to me, Do not continue the investigation, understand?"

This was the first time that Shao Le showed fatigue in front of his son, and there was even a hint of pleading in his tone of voice.

"Daddy, you really know something. You just watched the Ling family go bankrupt? Watching Uncle Ling commit suicide in the detention center?" Shao Qipeng didn't understand. Didn't he have a personal relationship with Uncle Ling?Why are you able to ignore death when you know the truth?

Shao Le flicked his fingertips, and the gray dust slowly fell from the cigarette butt, causing blisters to form on his fingers.

"Is this your attitude when talking to me?" Shao Le asked coldly, avoiding Shao Qipeng's sharp gaze.

"Daddy, you're escaping! Someone really messed with the Ling family? Do you know this person?" Shao Qipeng's tone was aggressive. At this moment, he felt that his father was very strange.

He still remembered that although his father and Ling Zhen were not brothers, they were better than brothers. In the business world, who didn't know that Ling and Shao were brothers?However, he only now knew that his father would coldly watch his brother being forced to commit suicide!

"Daddy, have you never seen Uncle Ling come to look for you in your dreams?"

"Presumptuous!" Shao Le was furious instantly, and with a bang, he swung his arm off the teacup on the table, and the huge sound echoed in the room, circling the beams endlessly.

His chest heaved violently, and his fingers pointed directly at the tip of Shao Qipeng's nose, almost out of breath.

"Master." The housekeeper hurriedly opened the door and came in when he heard the movement. Seeing Shao Le's powerless appearance, his face changed suddenly. He immediately took out the medicine bottle and sent the pills to Shao Le's mouth. To Shao Qipeng who was stunned aside: "Master, don't provoke the master anymore, don't you know that the master has a serious heart disease?"

Shao Le's heart has always been relying on a pacemaker to barely maintain its vitality. Although a heart replacement operation was performed many years ago, as the age increases, the load on the heart is also increasing. I have warned him not to let his emotions be too violent, otherwise, he may die at any time.

Shao Qipeng's face turned pale, and the self-blame and guilt in his heart erupted like a tide.

"Daddy..." he murmured.

"Don't talk about it anymore. In short, I will not let you interfere with the Ling family's affairs. Steward, send someone to follow the young master 24 hours a day. Remember, without my permission, he will never leave this house for half a step!" Shao Le took a few breaths and issued a foot restraint order.

"Daddy! You are under house arrest." Shao Qipeng accused, he didn't understand, there was something inside the Ling family's matter, why did Daddy stop him from investigating over and over again?

Shao Le laughed back angrily: "Could it be that I am not even qualified to put you under house arrest? Butler, do as I say!"

The housekeeper looked at the father and son who were fighting each other in embarrassment. Since when did this family become nothing but gunpowder?Youyou sighed, and walked in front of Shao Qipeng: "Master, please don't make things difficult for me."

The muscles of Shao Qipeng's face were tensed into a line, his lips were pursed tightly, and he quietly stared at Shao Le for a few times, without saying anything, he turned around neatly, but before leaving, he left a resolute and firm word : "Daddy, I won't give up."

He promised Xiao Xi that he would help her find out the truth about the bankruptcy of the Ling family!He will never just compromise like this.

When his figure disappeared from the room, the last trace of strength in Shao Le's body was finally emptied, and he slumped on the chair exhaustedly, with his brows furrowed.

Who is this son's personality like?Seemingly gentle, but stubborn enough to give people a headache.

"Ling family..." A melancholy sigh escaped from his lips.

After the butler escorted Shao Qipeng back to his room, he returned to the study with the soup cooked in the kitchen, "Master, the young master is still young, and you don't understand many things. There is no need for you to be so angry."

"Are you still young?" Shao Le smiled bitterly: "I think his wings have grown hard, do you believe it? Lao Li, I regret it now and agree to his request to return to China."

If he still grew up abroad, wouldn't all this happen?He is still the most perfect heir in his mind.

"Master, this land is the hometown of the young master, and he will always come back." The butler comforted, "In a few years, the young master will understand the painstaking efforts of the young master."

Shao Le closed his eyes wearily, the anger in his heart completely disappeared, his heart was heavy, as if a huge boulder had been piled up, he was so depressed that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Check it out for me, for whom is Qipeng investigating the Ling family's affairs?"

The housekeeper was stunned, "Master, are you looking into the past five years ago?"

"Yeah, heh, if no one reminded him, how could he care about the Ling family's affairs? Also, you can re-investigate the information of this woman Ling Yuhan for me. Remember, I want her everything from childhood to adulthood. News." I hope he is overthinking, he always feels that all this has nothing to do with this despicable ###!

The housekeeper carefully wrote down Shao Le's instructions, and then sent someone to the United States to investigate Ling Yuhan's background information.

"Buzzing..."

In the middle of the night, the mobile phone placed by the bed vibrated without warning. Ling Xiaoxi walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, wiped her wet long hair, and walked to the bed. An unread text message lay quietly on her bed. in the private mailbox.

"The chairman of Shaw Group has already become suspicious of you, and your identity is likely to be exposed."

The phone number was blocked, Ling Xiaoxi was stunned for a second, then smiled knowingly, she would contact her secretly, and she was so vigilant, except for the masked man.

"Who are you?" She stared blankly at the message on the screen and murmured.

This man suddenly appeared five years ago, saved herself who was dying at the time, and even spared no effort to help her, almost single-handedly trained her to be what she is now. The only thing she knows is that there is absolutely an irreconcilable relationship between him and the Bai family. hate!Otherwise, he would not have given her the evidence of the Bai family's crimes.

Shaking his head, throwing all the doubts in his mind out of his mind, Ling Xiaoxi put down his cell phone, lay flat on the big bed, and let his mind go blank.

"What are you thinking?" A slightly cool palm penetrated into the quilt, wandering wantonly on her body, fingertips opened the loose bathrobe, touching the skin, an electric current diffused along the blood.

"Crack!" Ling Xiaoxi patted someone's arm away in embarrassment, "It's late at night, don't be in heat casually!"

Doesn't this man have anything healthier on his mind than that?

"I thought you were inviting me." Zuo Xiaomo's eyes darkened, his gloomy gaze swept over her fragrant shoulders exposed outside the quilt, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister arc.

"I'm not you!" Ling Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at him, "I'll go to the company with you tomorrow, now, sleep!"

"Don't do something beneficial to your physical and mental health?" Zuo Xiaomo asked expectantly.

"No, no, no! I'm not that interested." Ling Xiaoxi refused decisively, not even a second of hesitation, she would never let Zuo Xiaomo's willfulness continue to grow, this man, as long as he relaxes, he will Pulling herself to turn the clouds and rain, if he really let him succeed, I'm afraid she won't have the face to go out tomorrow.

Zuo Xiaomo shrugged, "That's really a pity, but who made me reluctant to let you down? Forget it, I'll let you off this time."

Arms tyrannized around her waist, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ling Xiaoxi stared blankly at his peaceful face, and unconsciously raised a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth. She knew that this man had made concessions for her again and again, and he obviously had such a domineering and strong personality.

Her heart was unbelievably soft, her head rubbed a few times in Zuo Xiaomo's fiery embrace, and the huge room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

In the early morning of the next day, Ling Xiaoxi vaguely felt a hand moving over her body, and the itchy touch came from her waist. She opened her eyes abruptly, "What are you doing?"

Someone who was buried in her chest raised his head innocently, and said as a matter of course, "I want the benefits of last night."

"Please, let's see what time is it?" Ling Xiaoxi growled angrily. Thanks to his thoughtfulness last night, she shouldn't have had any hope in this man!

"But, it misses you." Zuo Xiaomo pointed to his small tent, his tone quite resentful.

Ling Xiaoxi glared at him viciously: "The bathroom is over there, please solve it yourself."

After all, she pushed the man on her body away, turned over and jumped up, the corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at the disheveled bathrobe, her chest was almost completely exposed, fortunately she didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, otherwise, she might be caught by him again succeed.

Zuo Xiaomo looked helplessly at the tent that was clamoring for release, and then at Ling Xiaoxi who was full of reluctance, the impulse in his heart completely receded.

"Only you can make me compromise." He sighed rather depressed, and walked to the bathroom with his muscular upper body naked. Soon, the sound of dripping water came from inside.

Compromise?

Ling Xiaoxi stood by the window, snickering.

After hastily eating breakfast, Ling Xiaoxi specifically asked the nanny to remember to send Zuo Fengyu to school on time, and then left the villa by Zuo Xiaomo.

"He is not a child, and you don't need to be reminded at any time." Someone's angry voice came from the wind.

"How old is Xiaoyu? What is it if it's not a child?" Ling Xiaoxi retorted eloquently, turning a deaf ear to Zuo Xiaomo's jealous words.

Zuo Ruoxin looked enviously at their figures leaving in the morning sun, brother is happy now, right?She had almost never seen such a gentle expression.
