Princess Raising

Chapter 263

Did Wan Sheng not tell him, or did Wan Sheng not know?
Were they all deceived by Zhao Qing?
To actually agree to such a condition, how many women has he accepted from the Byrne family?

Wan Yi's complexion was even uglier than before, under the street lights, he looked like a ghost.

Yiwa noticed this subtle change, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, knowing that Wan Yi would not sit idly by and ignore this matter.

In fact, how many women did the Byen family give Zhao Qing?
Not many, except for Eva, it's just stuffed with a few of various types.

Most of them are similar to Luo Xue and completely opposite to her.

But those girls, without exception, have distinct personalities.

However, none of these people could capture his heart.

At that time, Zhao Qing just promised... that he would not reject the person sent by the Byrne family, but it was Zhao Qing's choice what to do after receiving it.

But Eva didn't make it clear.

Wan Yi selectively understands that Zhao Qing may have accepted many women.

Is such a person worthy of Luo Xue?Wan Yi's heart was shaken a little.

But he kept his face on the surface, which made Eva not sure what he was thinking.

"What do you want to say?" Wan Yi asked indifferently, "Say what you want to say once."

Eva secretly rejoiced, it was good to have a reaction, it was better than no reaction.

"I just... want you to know about this." Eva said in a considerate and understanding way, "Think about it for yourself." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

As a smart woman, she will never speak thoroughly, half of what she says is left for others to imagine.

She left Wan Yi with unlimited imagination, turned and left.

Wan Yi stood there quietly for a minute, then returned to the car and left.

Luo Xue went home and opened up the information Wan Yi gave her, and found that Yi Wa didn't do anything special. She went shopping and gossiped like ordinary rich girls every day, and didn't bother Zhao Qing. There is no way to get the call records.

She couldn't see any difference at all.

But she always feels that if people don't explode in silence, they die in silence.

She felt that Eva didn't seem like someone who died in silence, she should explode in silence.

As for her... Now she has more important things to do, and interrogate Zhao Qing about what he has done for more than a year.

Zhao Qing seemed to come back very quickly this time, even faster than before, and also brought her a gift.

After accepting the gift with a smile, she said to Zhao Qing, "Qing, let's have a good chat in a while."

Seeing her smile, Zhao Qing felt a little ominous, "Xiaoxue, what do you want to talk about?"

"It's nothing." She smiled and shook her head, "Just chatting."

Zhao Qing suddenly felt his heart flutter, but facing her magical and bewitching smile, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Xiaoxue..." After dinner, Zhao Qing asked her, "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know... what happened to you for more than a year." Her voice was sweet, as if it could reach the bone of a person.

Only four words flashed in Zhao Qing's mind:

Sugar-coated shells.

But is this a sugar-coated cannonball she can refuse...

Zhao Qing obviously couldn't refuse...

But he coughed lightly, "Then Xiaoxue, what have you been doing this past year?"

She snorted softly, "Don't you know what I've done over the past year? Don't try to quibble. Tell me honestly, what have you done over the past year?"

He really didn't want to tell the truth, but he didn't want any misunderstanding between them, so he sighed, "Xiaoxue, do you really want to hear it? It's not a good story."

"I want to hear it." She nodded, "I heard that my brother almost asked you to leave me. What happened?"

Zhao Qing took a deep breath, feeling that there were countless gaps waiting to be crossed before him, "Xiaoxue...the things over the past year are so complicated, do you really want to hear it?"

"I just know that you seem to have made a huge gamble." She looked at him sideways, "What are you betting on? What is the bet?"

Zhao Qing cursed Wan Sheng 180 times in his heart, and then said to her very gently: "There is no specific bet, just some relatively imaginary things."

"What's going on?" The more Zhao Qing didn't want to talk about it, the more problematic he was.

"It's just...Old Byrne made some demands." He sighed, feeling that what he should face was still to be faced, and it was better for her to explain it earlier than she heard it from others.

"By the way, speaking of this, Eva looked for you before, and recently Joanna also looked for you?"

"That's right, but don't try to change the subject." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Be honest and tell me what's going on."

Zhao Qing said honestly: "The first request made by Old Byrne is... I can't refuse Eva's company, of course, it's a very normal company. If she wants to be by my side, I can't refused."

After Luo Xue heard this, she suddenly felt her anger soar.

Unexpectedly... unexpectedly made such a request, unexpectedly Zhao Qing really agreed? !

"Then how did you fall into old Byrne's tricks back then?" She frowned. How did old Byrne threaten him back then?
"Sigh." Zhao Qing sighed, "This is really a long story. What Old Byrne threatened me back then was not a rare thing, but he threatened my weakness."

"What?" She suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"You." Zhao Qing said, "It was you who he used to threaten me back then."

She has mixed feelings in her heart, among which guilt is the most.

Sure enough, if Zhao Qing is a strong and perfect person, then she is his only weakness.

So...he used me to threaten you?

"Yes." He smiled wryly for a moment, "I blamed me for not reading the contract carefully when I signed the contract. No, maybe I read it carefully, but I was too young at the time and had too little experience in this field, so I didn't pay attention at all. See those textual loopholes and textual errors."

"So you fell for it? What's wrong?"

"The text loophole is very subtle and small. If it is used in a lawsuit, it will be an ambiguous result, but after all, the Byrne family is more dominant, and they have a contract in hand." He said, "In the United States, the relationship, Reason is not the most important thing, the most important thing is human, material and financial resources, compared with the Byrne family's human, material and financial resources, even the William family is not as good, so I had no hope of winning the lawsuit against them alone." He said Speaking of this, he laughed at himself, "I was still too young back then, and I valued myself too much."

"No." She took his hand and comforted, "How come...you were only so young back then, and it was already amazing to be able to do that. Do you know how many people were still in college when you were your age? I don’t know what I’m going to do in the future, and I’m often ignorant for the future, so it’s already amazing that you were able to do those things back then, you have to believe in yourself.”

"Do you believe in yourself?" Zhao Qing raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Well, maybe, but I can tell you Xiaoxue with certainty now that the matter of the Byrne family will be resolved soon, and the old Byrne will soon The loser surrenders."

"Really?" Looking at his confident expression, she felt less worried. No matter what he has experienced, the result now is always good. They should look forward and not always mourn for the past.

"Well, Xiaoxue, you have to trust me." He stroked her hair, "The loopholes in the contract back then were designed horribly, simply put... that is, if I want to leave the Byrne family without the old Byrne's consent , even if the contract is terminated, I will dedicate my most beloved people and things to the Byrne family."

After hearing this, she gasped, "This kind of agreement..."

"If the contract is breached, the Byrne family will have the right to take improper means." Zhao Qing continued, but the improper means did not go into too much detail.

"Every member of the Byrne family must keep the agreement they signed confidential. So even though I asked before, they wanted to keep it secret, but everyone signed a different agreement, so I didn't ask about it. Too much, and this has become the current situation." He sighed, "So, I can only say that I was too young to pay attention to that aspect, maybe it was because I was too confident at the time. I actually tried to threaten him with the extension of the contract, and now that I think about it, he should have been designing me since then."

He smiled wryly, "Thinking about it now, I was really too arrogant at that time. I was so arrogant that I thought I could do everything... But in fact, I can't do anything."

"No." She shook her head, "No, you are already very good at it, Qing, don't ask too much of yourself."

Zhao Qing showed a thought-provoking smile, "Xiaoxue, I'm a man, and I have to be very demanding of myself."

"What about the next thing?" She simply changed the subject.

"The next thing is that old Byrne threatened me to let me do what he said, otherwise all the things that destroyed Charlie's power in China at that time, as well as the actions on the US side, would all stop." He said with some self-deprecating, "If I know that Charlie will let go later and will not continue to go crazy like that, as if he wants to destroy us, and I will not do that, and I will not agree to that condition at the time." His voice is very heavy , uncommonly heavy.

"So... Qing, what did you do afterwards?"

"Later." Zhao Qing seemed to recall his worst nightmare so far, "Later... I did a lot of things. Old Byrne threatened me to get engaged to Eva. You should have gone to see it then." He said, smiling uglier than crying, "At that time, I really never thought that you were there, and even... you were still watching everything."

"Old Byrne, maybe I should have calculated all of this." Zhao Qing said, "At that time... I insisted not to show my appearance, just like what you once said, as if you were hiding your ears and stealing the bell. people know."

She lowered her head, unable to make any comments or say anything about Zhao Qing's affairs... The past is all over.

But when she saw that scene, she really felt that the world collapsed in front of her in an instant.

"Let's not talk about the engagement." She shook her head, "However, if you dare to do this next time, don't blame me for getting engaged to another person, just like you, just cover your face with a mask When no one else knows who it is."

"You—" Hearing this, he stared at her fiercely, "Xiaoxue, how dare you say that?"

"Why don't you dare? You weren't the one who did this kind of thing first..." She raised her chin and looked at him unwillingly.

He rarely seemed to be discouraged, "Okay, Xiaoxue, let's not talk about this, the past is over, I really did something wrong at that time, it was too outrageous."

"At that time... didn't you think about asking for brother's help, or telling me about it?" She curled her lips, saying that she was still not reconciled.

"At that time, I trusted Niss more, but it's a pity that Niss' power at that time couldn't help me. I didn't trust Wan Sheng that much. I always felt... In the situation back then, Wan Sheng might not really help you, so... ...I didn't ask him for help. But now I regret it, I really should have asked him for help. As for not telling you, I didn't want you to know. I'm afraid Xiaoxue, if you know, you will have other thoughts on me , such as not trusting me, these are all very likely to happen.” His eyes were a little blurred, “I was still too young at the time, and I hadn’t experienced the twists and turns and hardships of fighting, and there were many things that I couldn’t see clearly. There were also many self-righteous things that caused the consequences at that time, if I was willing to ask Wan Sheng for help, if I was willing to tell you about this matter, maybe the situation would be better."

When Zhao Qing said it, it seemed that there was a kind of sadness from the bottom of her heart, which made her unable to help being moved.

Speaking of which... Zhao Qing is still in his early twenties this year.

Although such a person was already a father in ancient times, in modern times, he is still a spoiled child of his parents.

She was also wrong about things back then. If she was more capable and convincing, maybe things would be different.

"I know I was wrong, so I'm going to correct it now." He said softly, putting his arm around her, "So... please give me another chance, please?"

She deliberately smiled and said, "If I don't give it."

His face darkened immediately, "You have no chance not to give it."

"Still so domineering." She touched her nose, "The nature is still the same."

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."

"Hmph." She reprimanded softly, "Then what are you like with those women that old Byrne stuffed in? And that Eva, didn't you say that as long as she wants to be by your side, you can't refuse."

Eva is so beautiful... It is no exaggeration to say that she is beautiful.

Can Zhao Qing really hold on?

According to Pei Min, Zhao Qing's age is just at the time when he is full of vigor.

Although she didn't know exactly how to be full of blood, Pei Min's words were extremely ambiguous, and she kept emphasizing the substantive relationship.

"I can't refuse." He smiled cunningly after hearing that question, "What's the matter, are you jealous?"

"Is there any reason for what you did wrong?" She said dissatisfiedly, "You still come to ask me."

"Xiaoxue, I found that your temper seems to be on the rise."
