Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Thank You for Playing Along with Me in This Drama
Qin Feimo was silent for a few seconds. “What does it matter if I hate her? Qianqian won’t come back.”
“So how are you doing now?”
Staring at him, Qin Feimo pondered deeply for a while before answering, “Quite alright, I guess. Haven’t they said, ‘Time is the best healer’?”
The best healer cannot cure the deepest pain in the heart or the most powerless regrets.
Time, the best healer?
Sijue believed it least of all.
His parents had died a long time ago, yet that shocking scene was deeply etched in his mind, unaffected by the passage of time.
“Have you fallen in love with that girl?”
Sijue looked down, not responding to the question.
“Stop wasting your effort. You know very well if that girl really fell into the sea, it’s impossible she’s still alive.”
Sijue was stunned, looking up into Qin Feimo’s pitch-black pupils.
He was very aware that even though it was autumn, the sea water was cold and bone-chilling; Gu Qiangwei’s chances of survival were almost zero.
After Qin Feimo’s persuasion, Sijue stopped the search and rescue operations.
In the following days, Li Yuan hardly saw Sijue at all.
The only people who had seen him were the top secretary, high-level leaders of Dijue, and the shareholders.
These days the entire Dijue seemed panicked because the big boss for some reason rejected every proposal brought to him!
“Hey, what’s with the big boss lately?”
After a meeting ended, someone asked the president’s secretary.
The beautiful secretary had a bitter expression. Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger—her days had been difficult, feeling like she had fallen into an iceberg. From the president’s office to the administration office, the air was frosty.
She feared that a small mistake would cause the big boss’s cold aura to freeze her into a statue, easily shattered with a light touch, turning into a corpse!
“I don’t know either. Lately, it seems he hasn’t left the company at all.”
The secretary was unsure what exactly had happened, but felt that the big boss had been in the office from early morning until very late, without leaving.
He suspected that the big boss had been staying overnight at the office recently, never leaving.
Two female employees were gossiping when suddenly the door of the office was pushed open.
Like seeing a ghost, the secretary and the female employees’ faces turned white, looking fearfully at Sijue who had suddenly walked out.
Fortunately, Sijue seemed not to have heard their conversation, and he headed straight for the elevator.
The secretary and her colleague finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In a luxurious villa in the Jingcheng Suburb.
The door was gently pushed open, and Huo Yishan walked in.
“How’s the wound? Feeling better?”
She approached the bed to look at Gu Qiangwei’s bandaged hand.
Looking up at the entering Huo Yishan, Gu Qiangwei’s expression grew somewhat dark.
“Yishan, thank you for playing along with this act.”
Huo Yishan looked at her, her expression melancholic, her worries for her intensifying.
“There’s no need to thank me.”
After a while, as if thinking of something, Huo Yishan spoke again, “Do you think it’s true about Sijue’s rare blood type, or was it just a lie concocted by his grandfather to force you away?”
Gu Qiangwei lowered her eyelids, deeply trusting the words of Qin Guozhong.
Because of Qin Guozhong’s overwhelming power, he had all kinds of ways to make her leave; there was no need for him to fabricate such a lie—it would be superfluous.
