Priceless Baby's Super Daddy Chapter 2774 - Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (292)
Previously on Priceless Baby's Super Daddy...
Qin Xuming could only stand there, catching his breath, his gaze fixed on Qiao Ruoxi.
Having discovered the truth, Qiao Ruoxi felt no fear whatsoever.
“But you are mistaken! It is your mother who deceived you! My father, Qiao Rennian, never abandoned her. He wasn’t even aware of your existence! Your birth was merely an accident, and your mother twisted it into a tool for her revenge against my father! Do you comprehend the futility of your actions? You resorted to despicable methods for vengeance, only to bring about your own father’s demise! Qin Xuming, you are nothing but a pathetic wretch, terrified of exposure!”
Qiao Ruoxi’s words struck Qin Xuming like a thunderbolt, shattering his entire world.
!!
The deeply held beliefs and the driving force behind his actions were instantly reduced to a mockery.
He had been manipulated by his own mother!
He had ended his father’s life!
His hands were stained with blood…
Was his mother solely to blame for the ruin of his life?
Overwhelmed by the devastating revelation, Qin Xuming collapsed onto the floor, leaning against a bookshelf, clutching his head in agony.
“You should have refrained from harming others. You possessed the potential for great accomplishments and the admiration of many. Why did you choose to drag yourself and those around you into such despair?”
Qiao Ruoxi turned her back and began to depart.
As she was about to leave, Qin Xuming’s voice stopped her. “Wait!”
Qiao Ruoxi halted, turning back to face him. “Is there something else you wish to say?”
Qin Xuming lowered his gaze, finally confessing, “It was not solely my doing that led to the Qiao Group’s downfall…”
“Who else was involved?”
“You are already acquainted with that individual…”
Qin Xuming unveiled the truth of the events that transpired five years prior, admitting that he was not the only one plotting the destruction of the Qiao family.
Qiao Ruoxi stumbled down the stairs, deeply affected by Qin Xuming’s final words. Mu Yunli, noticing her distress as she emerged, caught her. “Xixi, are you alright?”
Qiao Ruoxi simply shook her head. The two then departed from the Qin Group together.
Shortly after their departure, law enforcement arrived at the Qin Group and apprehended Qin Xuming on charges of murder.
Qin Xuming had never anticipated that Mu Yunli had secretly recorded his conversation with Qiao Ruoxi and subsequently provided the recording to the authorities.
His intention was to utilize legal measures to constrain Qin Xuming, thereby ensuring Qiao Ruoxi's safety and preventing further harm to others.
News of the Qin Group President’s arrest quickly reverberated throughout Yun City, simultaneously resolving the crisis then facing the Fengtian Group.
Feng Yunan had been diligently strategizing how to leverage his connections to overcome the predicament, only to be informed by the Head of Public Relations that the crisis had unexpectedly subsided.
He was taken aback, questioning how the situation could have resolved itself so abruptly.
The sudden and seamless resolution left him feeling uneasy, sensing that something was amiss.
It wasn't until his return home that evening that he realized the true storm was yet to break.
Qiao Ruoxi, notably absent from work today, had returned to the Ocean Pavilion. Upon spotting Mu Yunli waiting in his car outside, Feng Yunan felt a sense of foreboding. He wondered why Mu Yunli would be at the Ocean Pavilion today.
“President Mu?” As Feng Yunan’s vehicle drew parallel to Mu Yunli’s, he lowered his window.
Mu Yunli alighted from his car, offering a polite greeting, “This is my first visit; please forgive any disturbance I may cause.”
Feng Yunan exited his car, inquiring with curiosity, “May I ask your reason for visiting, Mr. Mu?”
“I am awaiting Xixi. Forgive me, President Feng, I neglected to mention that I accompanied Xixi to the Qiao Group today,” Mu Yunli explained.
A sudden realization dawned upon Feng Yunan: it was Qiao Ruoxi who had visited the Qin Group to confront Qin Xuming, and this was the reason for the swift resolution of the Fengtian Group's crisis.
Acknowledging Mu Yunli’s assistance, Feng Yunan extended an inviting gesture. “President Mu, please, let us discuss this indoors.”
As Feng Yunan led Mu Yunli into the residence, his eyes fell upon Qiao Ruoxi, who was descending the stairs with her luggage.
Feng Yunan quickly moved to intercept her, blocking her path. “Qiao Ruoxi, where do you intend to go?”
“My destination is none of your concern.”
Qiao Ruoxi’s expression was icy, and she made no move to acknowledge him as she attempted to walk past.
Feng Yunan swiftly grasped her wrist. “What is happening? Are you planning to leave the Ocean Pavilion? Give me a reason!”
Qiao Ruoxi turned her head, her gaze cold, her voice laced with animosity. “Feng Yunan! Do you truly believe I can continue to coexist with the man who murdered my father and shattered my family?”
“…” Feng Yunan was rendered speechless.
Had Qiao Ruoxi discovered the truth?
It was no wonder he had felt an impending sense of doom today.
He had always dreaded this moment, and now, it had finally arrived.
Mu Yunli, observing from downstairs, regarded the exchange between them with a cool detachment. He remained silent, sensing that the confrontation marked the definitive end of Qiao Ruoxi and Feng Yunan's relationship. His role now was simply to witness the unfolding events.
His intention was to take Qiao Ruoxi away once their matters were settled.
“Let me go!” Qiao Ruoxi cried out.
“No! That was all in the past. Besides, I didn’t kill your father!” Feng Yunan felt unjustly accused.
Feng Yunan refused to release her, but Qiao Ruoxi let go of her suitcase, swinging the other hand to strike him forcefully.
*Pa!*
She poured all her might into the slap.
Feng Yunan recoiled, stunned, and stared at her.
Qiao Ruoxi retracted her hand, then produced a document and flung it at his face. “Take a proper look! What is this? Do you dare deny that KANS is your company? You were the very one who gave the order to annihilate the Qiao Group at all costs five years ago. Furthermore, who else in the entirety of Yun City possesses the power to destroy the Qiao Group besides the Fengtian Group?”
As the papers scattered towards him, Feng Yunan made no move to catch them. Instead, he desperately tried to explain, “It truly wasn’t me. It was Wen Ke’er! She’s the one responsible!”
He wished to convey that Wen Ke’er had exploited her connection with Wei Lingxiao, impersonating him to issue the directive that led to the Qiao Group’s downfall.
“Ha, Wen Ke’er! Isn’t she the person you cherish the most? You’re truly willing to do anything for her! Feng Yunan, I have finally seen your true colors! I once believed you had changed, and a flicker of hope even ignited within me. However, in the end, I discovered that you were the very person who pushed me into the abyss! If only I had known, I would never have bothered saving you back then!”
Tears streamed down Qiao Ruoxi’s cheeks as she turned to depart.
Feng Yunan snapped back to reality and lunged to grab her once more. “Ruoruo, please don’t go!”
“Get lost!”
Qiao Ruoxi attempted to shove him away, but in doing so, she lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs.
“Ah!”
Witnessing her fall, Feng Yunan instinctively reached out to grasp her clothing. Tragically, his fingers only managed to snag a corner of her garment before she plummeted further.
Mu Yunli stood watching from the middle of the living room. Upon seeing Qiao Ruoxi fall down the staircase, he sprinted towards her with all his might. “Xixi!”
Nevertheless, it was too late. Qiao Ruoxi tumbled all the way to the first floor, blood seeping from her body. The vivid crimson stain was a sight that seared Feng Yunan’s eyes.
“My child… my child…”
Qiao Ruoxi clutched her abdomen in pain, gripping Mu Yunli’s arm and pleading, “Save my baby…”
“Qiao Ruoxi!” Feng Yunan scrambled down the stairs. He intended to lift Qiao Ruoxi and take her to the hospital, but Mu Yunli proved quicker. He had already scooped her up and was rushing out the door.
