Chapter 792: Chapter 792: She’s the Only One I Want (3)
Wen Qiao was already thin, but this time she had lost even more weight, looking like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
At this moment, as she looked at him, her eyes were even more timid.
Seeing Ji Shaoyang’s gaze turn cold, she spoke up just as he was about to leave, “Wait a moment!”
He stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice behind him, “What do you want to say?”
Wen Qiao lowered her eyes, “I’m sorry!”
“Shouldn’t an apology also come with an explanation?” Ji Shaoyang turned his head, his voice hoarse, “Do you know how long I have been looking for you?”
“I never intended to leave without saying goodbye, I thought I had a chance to say farewell to you.” Wen Qiao struggled to speak, but felt at a loss for words.
Ji Shaoyang shook his head with a smile, sarcastically saying, “So you knew you were going to leave from the start, but you never thought to tell me. Qiaoqiao, I thought I was someone important to you. It seems I was wrong; you only saw me as your temporary shelter.”
“That’s not it… really, it’s not. I never truly deceived you, it’s just that I couldn’t defy his power. Shaoyang, I swear I wanted to leave that place forever. But he wouldn’t let me off so easily.”
“The ‘brother’ you mentioned is Cesar.” Ji Shaoyang found it extremely ironic. He had heard her mention the conflicts in her family before, but he had no idea it was that infamous ‘philanthropist’.
For some reason, he had planned against Lu Wanwan, successfully making her hand over the divorce agreement to Gu Annan and then leaving.
Gu Annan hadn’t told Lu Wanwan anything, but after spending two to three years, he finally expelled that man from Yaoye.
That man was actually the brother Wen Qiao has spoken of.
So, was it him that he had seen?
“He and I are siblings by the same father but different mothers, and he has always hated me. Even though my father relented and allowed me to leave that family, he would not permit it. He needed me to always be there, in that family, to remind him of this fact. To him, I am just a bastard born of infidelity, a stain on their family, a tool to remind him of my father’s past disloyalty.”
Wen Qiao’s tears kept falling.
“After coming to Manchester, I truly thought he just came to take me back. Little did I know, he also stayed, right until that incident with Miss Lu and young master Gu… Then he directly took me away; I didn’t even have a chance to make a phone call.”
“Whatever you say now, it’s too late.” Ji Shaoyang walked a few steps inside the room, maintaining a distance, his gaze falling on her, “So what about this time? Did you know where that person has escaped to?”
Lu Wanwan heard her cell phone ringing in a daze the next morning.
She pressed the receive button while still half-asleep.
“Wanwan, it’s your dad.” The voice on the other end was polite yet cautious.
This voice fully woke her from her half-asleep state.
Having been back in Manchester for so long, he had never called her, especially not about something related to shares.
In the past, just mentioning shares would make him change his face instantly.
Experiencing this a few times, Lu Wanwan understood clearly. The affection between them was probably long gone, leaving only a slight interest.
“Daddy, I got it. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.”
Lu Wanwan didn’t want to listen to his hypocrisy anymore, even if it was for interests, it was probably because of Gu Annan, not because she was his daughter.
At the doorway, a little head suddenly popped in, grinning broadly, “Mommy, good morning!”
