Qiao Wei tried her best to calm herself down and replied, "Mr. Fu, you're looking for Yan Xi. Have you asked the wrong person? My relationship with Yan Xi isn't so close that I know her whereabouts."
"Qiao Wei, I will investigate. If Yan Xi's disappearance has anything to do with you, your Qiao family will pay."
At the time, Qiao Wei thought she had covered all her tracks perfectly. Fu Yan Ting's words were just meant to scare her.
She didn't take it to heart at all.
But later, after she learned of Fu Yan Ting's cruel methods, Qiao Wei regretted it.
She shouldn't have provoked this man's ire so casually.
Knowing how much Fu Yan Ting cared for Yan Xi, no matter how much she disliked Yan Xi, she shouldn't have done it.
It was a pity that by the time Qiao Wei knew regret, it was already too late.
That very evening, Fu Yan Ting began searching for Yan Xi's whereabouts.
Knowing that Xin Yi didn't like Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting worried that Xin Yi wouldn't take the search seriously. He decided to find Yan Xi himself.
He decided to personally search for Yan Xi.
But Yan Cheng, this city, was neither too big nor too small. Yan Xi's phone was now turned off, and Yan Xi was unreachable.
Fu Yan Ting didn't know where to look for Yan Xi.
Even though Qiao Wei didn't admit it, Fu Yan Ting knew deep down that this matter was closely related to Qiao Wei.
Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze unfathomable. What was he thinking?
Zhang Ma hadn't seen that look in Fu Yan Ting's eyes for a long time.
Zhang Ma didn't know what had happened. Seeing Fu Yan Ting's ferocity, she couldn't help but shiver.
Recently, the second branch of the family had been quite well-behaved and hadn't provoked Fu Yan Ting. She didn't know why Fu Yan Ting had such an expression.
While Zhang Ma was silent, Fu Yan Ting had already gotten up and left.
Fu Yan Ting drove to find Yan Xi, but he searched the entire Yan Cheng and still couldn't find any trace of Yan Xi.
Fu Yan Ting frowned. Their son was still in his hands. Yan Xi wouldn't be so heartless as to abandon her child.
The Qiao family went bankrupt.
Along with it, the things Qiao Yun Long had done were also exposed.
Qiao Xue knew that all of this was Fu Yan Ting's doing.
She went to find Fu Yan Ting, hoping to beg him to spare the Qiao family.
Fu Yan Ting's lips curved into a slight smile.
Looking at Qiao Xue, he said with a cold laugh, "Yan Xi is missing."
Qiao Xue didn't understand. What did Yan Xi's disappearance have to do with their Qiao family? Why was Fu Yan Ting targeting the Qiao family?
Before, when He Yun was being ambiguous with Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting had retaliated against the He family.
But Yan Xi had no ambiguous relationship with them.
"Yan Ting, we've known each other for so many years. Don't you trust our Qiao family? We wouldn't hide Yan Xi."
"You'll have to ask your good sister about that."
Fu Yan Ting's voice was indifferent, distant.
But it also carried a bloodthirsty killing intent.
Qiao Xue looked at the man before her. This was the man she had loved for over a decade. In college, she had fallen in love with Fu Yan Ting at first sight. Later, those who admired Fu Yan Ting were all rejected by him.
Qiao Xue knew that this man loathed women.
She dared not reveal her feelings and could only pretend to be a good friend, staying by Fu Yan Ting's side.
After graduating from college, he returned to the Fu family to inherit their fortune. Qiao Xue made herself complete a double degree in one year and applied to the Fu Group, becoming Fu Yan Ting's secretary.
Qiao Xue believed that only then could she be worthy of Fu Yan Ting and get close to him.
But after Qiao Xue had stayed by Fu Yan Ting's side for so many years, he still hadn't given her a second glance.
He had even fired her.
Although Qiao Xue was unwilling, she knew very well that she could not defy Fu Yan Ting, nor could she go against him.
Qiao Xue was still waiting, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to get close to Fu Yan Ting again.
But now, the opportunity hadn't come, and their Qiao family had gone bankrupt.
Qiao Xue gave a wry smile.
How cruel could this man be to do so many things without batting an eye?
"Qiao Xue, if I were you, I'd go back and protect your mother and your sister. After all, your father has another family outside. Aren't you afraid they'll cause trouble?"
"Fu Yan Ting, this is all your doing, isn't it?"
Qiao Xue's voice trembled as she stared at Fu Yan Ting with wide, disbelieving eyes.
She couldn't believe that Fu Yan Ting would do anything to achieve his goals.
Upon hearing Qiao Xue's words, Fu Yan Ting's lips curved into a slight smile. Looking at Qiao Xue, he said word by word, "You're mistaken. Your father wanting to cheat is not something I can arrange. How would I know his feelings for your mother?"
"Fu Yan Ting, you are truly too cruel. Our Qiao family has done nothing to offend you. Why are you trying to annihilate us?"
"I told you, go back and ask your good sister."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting refused to talk to Qiao Xue any further.
He had Zhang Ma escort Qiao Xue out.
Although Qiao Xue was unwilling, she was helpless. In the end, she could only turn and leave dejectedly.
When Qiao Xue returned home, as expected, the woman her father had outside had brought her son to cause trouble.
Qiao Xue ignored everything else and looked at Qiao Wei, asking, "What did you do to Yan Xi?"
"Sister, why do you ask that?"
Qiao Wei and Qiao Xue had talked about everything since childhood. Qiao Wei had always looked up to Qiao Xue as her idol and never hid anything from her.
Therefore, when faced with Qiao Xue's questioning, although Qiao Wei was reluctant, she still told her.
"Sister, she's a bitch. She ruined my marriage. If it weren't for Yan Xi, He Yun wouldn't have divorced me. Now, I'm already pregnant. Do you know what He Yun told the doctor? He asked the doctor to arrange an abortion for me. He said this child can't be kept."
"You're pregnant? A child conjured out of thin air. No matter what He Yun does, the fate of this child depends on our words. Why are you so impatient?"
"I can't stand it, sister. I loved He Yun so much, only to end up like this. I'm not resigned, I'm truly not resigned."
Hearing Qiao Wei's words, Qiao Xue was truly disappointed.
"Sister, what should I do? Tell me what I should do."
Qiao Wei didn't want the Qiao family to go bankrupt, nor did she want to lose He Yun. Now that Yan Xi was dealt with, she only needed to revive the Qiao family. As for He Yun.
Yan Xi was dead, and the main reason for He Yun's divorce from her no longer existed. She didn't believe that after so many years of marriage, He Yun had no lingering affection for her.
Could he really be so heartless as to divorce her?
"I can't help you with this problem. You'll have to take care of yourself."
Qiao Xue was truly angry.
She hadn't expected Qiao Wei to be so impatient.
She had made plans for Qiao Wei, but Qiao Wei, on impulse, had overturned all her plans, and even caused the Qiao family to be ruined.
