Qiao Xue had no intention of helping her foolish sister, but now, human lives were at stake. The Qiao family had already paid a price. If Fu Yan Ting were to find out that Yan Xi was still alive, he would not be magnanimous enough to spare Qiao Wei.
Having known Fu Yan Ting for so many years, Qiao Xue understood him better than she understood herself.
Qiao Wei had already done what she did. Now, Qiao Xue could only try to minimize the damage.
Qiao Xue said coldly, "I want you to divorce He Yun, then commit suicide. I will send you abroad when no one is paying attention."
Qiao Wei had expected Qiao Xue to come up with some brilliant plan, but she never imagined Qiao Xue's solution was for her to divorce He Yun.
Qiao Wei was a million times unwilling. She pulled Qiao Xue's hand and asked softly, "Sister, is there no other way? If I sign the divorce papers with He Yun, we'll have no connection in the future."
"Do you think He Yun truly loves you? He's not mentioning divorce now only because of the child in your belly. If He Yun finds out that you caused Yan Xi's death, do you think He Yun will forgive you? Will he spare you? Do you think Fu Yan Ting will spare you?"
Hearing Qiao Xue's words, Qiao Wei couldn't help but swallow. She said reluctantly, "I thought everything would be over if Yan Xi died. Who knew Yan Xi wasn't dead? What could I have done?"
"You have no way, but I do. If you want to live, you can only do as I say."
Even though Qiao Wei was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey Qiao Xue.
Meanwhile, back at the villa, Yan Xi was assessed by Xiang Jing Chen, who asked, "Sister, you clearly didn't lose your memory. Why did you pretend not to recognize Qiao Wei?"
Just now, Xiang Jing Chen had almost stepped in to defend Yan Xi and make trouble for Qiao Wei, but Yan Xi had stopped him.
"It wouldn't be much fun to suddenly explain everything clearly. Since Qiao Wei wants to kill me, why don't I play with her slowly? If I admit it all at once, that I'm alive and haven't lost my memory, who knows what other tricks Qiao Wei might use against me."
Xiang Jing Chen nodded. He believed Yan Xi's words.
Indeed, one could not let their guard down against such a ruthless and cold-hearted woman.
Since Yan Xi had said so, it meant Yan Xi had it under control and knew what to do.
In that case, Xiang Jing Chen didn't need to ask any further.
However, Xiang Jing Chen still felt indignant on Yan Xi's behalf.
Yan Xi couldn't immediately retaliate after being bullied to this extent by Qiao Wei.
That night, when Yan Xi went to see Qiao Wei, she sensed something was wrong and called Xiang Jing Chen. When Xiang Jing Chen arrived, Qiao Wei had just pushed Yan Xi into the sea. Fortunately, Xiang Jing Chen knew how to dive.
He jumped into the water without even changing his clothes and rescued Yan Xi.
Although Yan Xi was rescued, due to the extremely cold seawater, and it being autumn, Yan Xi caught a severe cold that would never be cured.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jing Chen was furious with Qiao Wei.
"Sister, I just happened to record the video. If you want Qiao Wei brought to justice, I can copy the recording and submit it to the police."
Yan Xi did not respond.
Xiang Jing Chen didn't know what Yan Xi was thinking.
He didn't want to ask further.
Yan Xi didn't expect Qiao Wei to agree to divorce He Yun that very afternoon.
Before Yan Xi was around, no matter what He Yun said, Qiao Wei refused to divorce him. She had even resorted to self-harm to avoid divorce. But now, Qiao Wei had agreed to divorce He Yun.
There must be a conspiracy behind this. Otherwise, given Qiao Wei's love for He Yun, she would never have agreed to a divorce.
"Jing Chen, Qiao Wei and He Yun have already completed their divorce procedures," Yan Xi said softly.
Xiang Jing Chen looked at Yan Xi and said lightly, "Isn't that normal? Didn't He Yun always want to divorce Qiao Wei? It's not a sudden decision to divorce."
"No, Qiao Wei chose to propose divorce to He Yun at this critical juncture, and it feels strange. I have a feeling something is about to happen."
"You're overthinking it. He Yun doesn't love Qiao Wei. Their divorce was only a matter of time."
Xiang Jing Chen was not as suspicious as Yan Xi. To Xiang Jing Chen, no man could tolerate a viper-hearted woman like Qiao Wei. If He Yun wanted a divorce, Xiang Jing Chen could understand it. If He Yun and Qiao Wei had a good relationship and He Yun didn't propose divorce, then he would think there was something wrong with He Yun.
Seeing that Xiang Jing Chen knew nothing, Yan Xi didn't tell him, but a bad premonition lingered in Yan Xi's heart.
She felt as if something was about to happen, but Yan Xi hoped she was just thinking too much.
The day after Qiao Wei divorced He Yun, Qiao Wei committed suicide.
This time, Qiao Wei was truly dead. The Qiao family even held a grand funeral for Qiao Wei.
Yan Xi frowned. Everything happened too suddenly. Yan Xi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was for a moment.
Xiang Jing Chen looked at Yan Xi and couldn't help but comfort her, "Sister, you're just overthinking and prone to worrying. That Qiao Wei deserved her fate. Even if she hadn't died, she would have faced legal consequences."
Yan Xi glanced at Xiang Jing Chen and didn't reply.
She got up and walked outside.
Xiang Jing Chen stopped Yan Xi and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to attend Qiao Wei's funeral. I don't believe Qiao Wei is really dead."
"Sister, can you be more sensible? Qiao Wei is dead. You are also considered dead in everyone's eyes. If you go to Qiao Wei's funeral now, you'll only be putting yourself in the spotlight. People will suspect that you are involved in Qiao Wei's death, and they will even suspect why you are alive and well when you are supposed to be dead."
Xiang Jing Chen blocked Yan Xi, preventing her from attending Qiao Wei's funeral.
He Yun also attended the funeral. When Qiao Wei signed the divorce papers with him, He Yun thought it was a ploy by Qiao Wei. But He Yun never expected that Qiao Wei would die in an accident immediately after signing the divorce papers.
This was beyond He Yun's expectation. He Yun never imagined things would turn out this way.
He Yun and Qiao Wei had been married for several years. Although he didn't love Qiao Wei, when the news of Qiao Wei's death reached He Yun, he still couldn't accept it.
He didn't love Qiao Wei, and even wanted to cut ties with her completely, but this didn't mean he wanted Qiao Wei to die.
He Yun was the last person who wanted anything to happen to Qiao Wei.
Seeing He Yun, Qiao Xue walked up to him with a cold smile and questioned, "You and my sister are already divorced. What are you doing here?"
