"I'm very sorry. I never expected this to happen. I came to offer condolences and to let you know that you should grieve and then move on. Regarding matters after the funeral, if you have any needs, you can tell me. Whether it's me or the He family, we will do everything we can to help the Qiao family, as long as it's within our ability."
Faced with He Yun's kindness, Qiao Xue could only scoff.
Now that Qiao Wei was dead, He Yun was putting on a show. If He Yun truly cared about Qiao Wei, he wouldn't have let her get into trouble, nor would he have waited until she was dead to show concern for the Qiao family.
Men were truly unreliable.
With this thought, Qiao Xue narrowed her eyes, her hatred for He Yun deepening.
He Yun, however, didn't mind. He genuinely wanted to help the Qiao family.
After Qiao Wei's funeral, Qiao Xue changed Qiao Wei's identity and sent her to the airport.
As Qiao Wei bid farewell to Qiao Xue, she said, "Sister, He Yun came to my funeral. Do you think he might have realized something, that he still loves me, which is why he came and even said those things to you?"
"Qiao Wei, this is the last time I'm helping you. If you disrupt my plan, the Qiao family will have to go bankrupt. As for you and He Yun, remarriage is impossible. He Yun's greatest wish has always been to divorce you. Can you stop letting love cloud your judgment?"
"But I saw the look on his face when he came to my funeral. He looked so pained. I don't believe he doesn't love me. I think He Yun just hasn't realized his love for me yet."
Faced with Qiao Wei's confident assertion, Qiao Xue was truly exasperated. If a man truly loved a woman, he wouldn't react like He Yun. He Yun was merely saving face and going through the motions.
Why couldn't Qiao Wei wake up?
When would Qiao Wei finally realize that He Yun didn't truly love her?
If He Yun found out that Yan Xi's accident was also related to Qiao Wei, he would surely not let Qiao Wei off the hook.
After Qiao Wei finished speaking, seeing Qiao Xue frown, Qiao Wei knew she had upset her sister.
Qiao Wei quickly apologized, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I won't say anything else. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"You should go in now. I've arranged everything for you on the other side. Remember, you need to report your daily schedule to me, and I'll help you."
Qiao Wei nodded.
Then she went for security checks.
Qiao Xue watched Qiao Wei's retreating figure and turned to leave.
Qiao Wei was an adult, and she knew what she was doing. Qiao Xue wasn't too worried about her, except for the possibility of Qiao Wei becoming irritable due to language barriers and unfamiliar living habits on the other side.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it.
This was the only solution Qiao Xue could think of at the moment.
After attending Qiao Wei's wake, He Yun returned to his company and encountered Xiang Jing Chen at the entrance.
Xiang Jing Chen didn't know He Yun, but he was aware of each other's existence.
After all, the circles of high society were small; who wouldn't know the Crown Prince of the Xiang family?
He Yun approached Xiang Jing Chen and asked indifferently, "Do you need something from me?"
Xiang Jing Chen didn't beat around the bush. He handed He Yun his phone, which contained a video recording. He said, "Although I know you and Qiao Wei are divorced, Yan Xi's accident was caused by Qiao Wei. This is the evidence. I'm giving it to you now. How you handle it is up to you."
"You could have just given it to the police. I believe with your status, they wouldn't refuse it. Why give it to me?"
"He Yun, remember in college, you helped me once, and I owed you a favor. Now, by giving you this video, we're even."
Xiang Jing Chen turned to leave.
He Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Xiang Jing Chen, you're doing this for Yan Xi, aren't you?"
Although it was a question, He Yun knew the answer with certainty.
Xiang Jing Chen stopped abruptly and turned back to look at He Yun.
He Yun smiled again and explained, "Yan Xi isn't dead yet, is she? Otherwise, with your personality, you wouldn't be giving this video to me."
Faced with He Yun's questioning, Xiang Jing Chen didn't respond and walked away.
He Yun took the phone to his office and watched the video repeatedly. He felt immense self-reproach. Regardless of whether Yan Xi was still alive, He Yun felt he had wronged her. It seemed that ever since he reunited with Yan Xi, she had been bullied and hurt because of him.
He Yun had once vowed to protect this girl, but now he had repeatedly pushed her to the brink of danger.
Even if he knew Yan Xi was alive, He Yun didn't want to find her this time. Rather than finding her and putting her in harm's way by his side, it was better to push her away. That way, Yan Xi might have a slim chance of safety.
With this thought, He Yun gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Suddenly, the door to He Yun's office was pushed open. His secretary stood at the doorway, apologizing, "President, I tried to stop her, but I couldn't."
Heaven knew the secretary was terrified when she saw Qiao Wei, as everyone knew Qiao Wei was dead, and it had even trended on social media.
The second daughter of the Qiao family, tormented by unrequited love, chose to take her own life.
She was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead after resuscitation failed.
He Yun was also taken aback when he saw Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei was clearly dead, so why was she standing before him?
He Yun's confusion was fleeting. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman before him.
Qiao Wei had always pretended to be obedient and sensible in front of He Yun.
If it weren't for Yan Xi's incident this time, He Yun might still have been in the dark.
He would still think Qiao Wei was an understanding woman.
But as he recalled the video Xiang Jing Chen had given him and thought about what Qiao Wei had done to Yan Xi, He Yun was utterly disappointed.
Sizing up Qiao Wei, and wanting her to reveal her true colors, He Yun didn't expose her immediately.
He gave Qiao Wei a chance, waiting for her to confess on her own.
Upon seeing He Yun, Qiao Wei couldn't help but step forward, hug him, and sob uncontrollably. She cried out, "Husband, I'm so sorry. I regret it. I shouldn't have signed the divorce papers. All of this was my sister's idea, woo woo woo, I really regret it. Let's not get divorced, let's not separate, let's start over, okay?"
Faced with Qiao Wei's relentless pleas,
He Yun merely raised an eyebrow, showing no outward reaction.
But Qiao Wei was not deterred. She grabbed He Yun's hand and kept crying. Qiao Wei didn't even notice He Yun's gaze.
Filled with disgust, disdain, and impatience.
