Perhaps the most important reason was the fear of Qin Yize.
If he wanted to do something to the Gu Family or had designs on them, then Qin Yize would definitely not stand idly by.
Given Qin Yize’s temperament and nature, who knows what kind of storm he would stir up.
Moreover, Qin Yize was clearly the man on whom this man’s fearful regards were set.
And when the Qin Family fell into decline, Qiaoqiao chose this time to leave Qin Yize, to leave the Qin Family, then the Qin Family must be extremely disappointed in her.
All the good impressions from the past would be overturned.
Perhaps everyone would hate her to death at this time,
then the Qin Family and the Gu Family really would cease to have any dealings with each other.
And at this time, leaving Qin Yize would surely cause him much heartache and disappointment.
Perhaps he would never want to see her again.
Thus, the Gu Family would lose the Qin Family as a powerful ally.
In the future, if the Gu Family encountered any trouble, the Qin Family would no longer offer help.
It was like chopping off one of the Gu Family’s arms.
So what exactly was it that the Gu Family had that he was scheming for?
Qiaoqiao’s heart was burning with grief and rage, but she couldn’t find an outlet to vent.
There are always such shameless people in this world.
Wanting to chop off someone’s head, yet instructing the other to keep their neck clean and wait for the execution.
Desiring something from someone, brazenly forcing them into the most solitary and helpless situation, then swaggeringly taking what they want.
The ones who are with Ning Wanru are all such bottomlessly shameless people.
She thought, in the end, these people’s fates would be even more miserable than Ning Wanru’s.
She was waiting for that day to come.
Qiaoqiao concealed all the thoughts in her eyes and stared intently at the man in front of her, asking in a deep voice, "What would be the outcome if I were to leave the Qin Family?"
Dongfang Yu spread his hands, smiling, "Naturally, Qin Yize would be released without any charges, continue as his deputy commander, carry on with the most important projects, with a future bright as ever, and although Qin Lang and his son would be at fault, their crime wouldn’t merit death. If evidence can be found that they were manipulated, then maybe after spending a year in jail, they would be released. As for the others, not to mention."
"As long as I leave the Qin Family, the Qin Family will be free of troubles, but Dongfang Yu, what makes me believe you?"
"Simply because all of this was orchestrated by me. Although not all was done by me, it’s more or less the same," Dongfang Yu stated frankly.
Qiaoqiao clenched her hands tightly.
Not until the pain from the force of her fingertips in her palm did she finally come to her senses.
Then, she took a deep breath.
At this time, she couldn’t panic, nor could she be in disarray.
In front of this man, she had to maintain her utmost composure.
Only then could she know what he wanted to do,
What his next move would be,
And whether she was in any danger at all.
After all, if she lost her life, she would have nothing with which to fight against the man before her.
Qiaoqiao fixed her gaze steadily on the man before her.
Dongfang Yu seemed to know what was going through Qiaoqiao’s mind and said with a smile, "You’ll know after you leave the Qin Family."
With that, he stood up.
Seemingly satisfied, he sighed softly and said, "Your room is really very warm."
Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened with vigilance.
Dongfang Yu laughed, "Don’t be so afraid of me, I won’t harm you. Well, I have said so much to you today, and you didn’t even offer me a cup of tea. It seems I have to go back for a drink..."
