strongChapter 1151: Chapter 1151: No News/strong

    “You’re such a fool! Jiang Shaoqing, I realize you’re really slow. I’m willing to do these things for you for a reason. I won’t divorce or leave you. When I love someone, I won’t just stand by while they fall into trouble.”

    Zhuo Lin boldly ced her hand on the back of Jiang Shaoqing’s hand. Her fair, slender hand made hisrger hands look even more defined.

    Jiang Shaoqing remained silent.

    He was too shocked to react.

    “You… Zhuo Lin…”

    With an IQ of 150, Jiang Shaoqing felt confused for the first time. What was Zhuo Lin saying?

    Was it what he thought?

    No, he was mistaken. It must have been too many recent things, ack of rest causing hallucinations. He knew how resistant Zhuo Lin was to marriage. That’s why he felt secure choosing her.

    It was also a barrier in his heart, as he knew Zhuo Lin’s feelings for him—there was no romantic aspect.

    But during this period, bit by bit, although he was unaware, he seemed to feel differently about Zhuo Lin. Like when he brought up the divorce agreement, he was actually ufortable in his heart. He knew his emotions were called reluctance.

    But when would Zhuo Lin change her feelings towards him?

    This wasn’t a dream!

    “Jiang Shaoqing, I regret it. I want to be your rightful wife, to be with you, to spend a lifetime together. I know you have no intentions towards me, but no matter what, I won’t leave or stand by, even if you have no feelings for me.

    Even as partners, I won’t abandon you and run away. The Zhuo Family doesn’t have deserters, and I can’t watch the man I like fall into despair and just stand by.” Zhuo Lin’s calm voice actually belied her inner unrest. She’s someone who loves fiercely, and this implicit confession to Jiang Shaoqing was something she never expected in her life.

    But now she didn’t want Jiang Shaoqing to exclude her out of good intentions or concern for her.

    She quickly walked to the door, and just as her fingers touched the door handle, she was pressed against the door panel with force.

    A familiar breath lightly brushed the back of her neck, hot, warm, safe, and caring.

    “Zhuo Lin, if you don’t leave now, maybe you’ll never be able to. I won’t let you go anymore.”

    Jiang Shaoqing’s voice had lost its chill, filled with warmth instead.

    A hot palmy right against her waist.

    Zhuo Lin turned around. They faced each other, each seeing themselves in the other’s eyes, clear in the other’s gaze.

    “I won’t leave, nor will I regret it.”

    This was the path she chose, willing to endure even its hardships.

    “Then I won’t let go of your hand for this lifetime. Zhuo Lin, my wife. I’ll make you happy.”

    It’s like being pinched around the neck, hanging over a volcano, first feeling inexplicable anxiety, then being pushed down, yet it wasn’t as hot as imagined. Instead, there was a feeling like autumn’s cool breeze passing through the heart, making her feel light and unexpectedlyfortable, soothing her spirit and in turn calming Zhuo Lin.

    This man actually responded. Zhuo Lin thought Jiang Shaoqing disdained her, had considered his possible attitude, which was why she left in haste, unable to ept the potential cruelty of rejection and indifference.

    But she never anticipated Jiang Shaoqing would respond so straightforwardly.

    ……

    Bai Xiao made a few phone calls. She couldn’t just stand by now. Even though she didn’t want to involve her family, if Jiang Shaoqing fell, Shang Kaiwen would target their family next. The Bai Family couldn’t remain uninvolved.

    Under her control, Bai Yue’s food chain had reached its peak over the years, even venturing into hotel management. Just the five-star hotels alone, her sister and brother-inw already opened five, not to mention other hotel-rted projects. Bai Yue and her brother-inw’s worth had increased manifold.

    Bai Ju and He Wang’s food processing factory had be a renowned domestic enterprise, creating astonishing tax revenue for the province three years in a row. Their products had even entered the international market, gaining stable international clients. Their involvement spanned a wide range, including instant foods, drinks, and various foods.

    As people’s lives improved, these foods infiltrated all aspects of living, making them tax giants of billions.

    He Weng also established three brands in the fashion industry, each a world-renowned brand representing luxury.

    Bai Xiao certainly understood. Initially, she didn’t want them involved, but she was now forced to involve them, joining hands with the Jiang Company to ensure future safety, or else if Shang Kaiwen seeded once, he could take them down one by one. No one would have a good time afterward.

    However, she had to honestly reveal the risks to her family. They were her family, and she respected their choices.

    She was also waiting for their decision.

    At this time, she wouldn’t selfishly think her sisters should unconditionally help her because she was taking a risk, and the final result was unpredictable.

    Bai Xiao sat by the phone, waiting for her sisters’ response. After exining, she decisively hung up, giving the couple a chance to discuss. This decision concerned their entire life. She had no right to demand others to sacrifice.

    If possible, she wouldn’t let her sisters face such a predicament, but now they needed to survive alongside the Jiang Company. It was tough to find better help.

    Until deep into the night, Bai Xiao was still waiting by the phone, almost turning to stone, but still hadn’t received a call from her sisters.

    Bai Xiao felt chilled.

    No words were needed; this was enough to understand Bai Ju, Bai Yue, and He Weng’s decision. She sighed but wasn’t entirely disappointed.

    What she hoped for was their lifelong peace and safety, which she worked hard to create. Their lives now werepletely different from before. She couldn’t demand repayment for her sacrifice.

    Perhaps this was good, as she was doing what she should.

    She wanted to call Jiang Shaoqing, but it was already after three.

    For the first time, Bai Xiao realized that her choice of bing a doctor couldn’t protect everyone. At least when facing business struggles, she was helpless.

    In truth, it was she who harmed Jiang Shaoqing.

    Maybe she shouldn’t have chosen the path of medicine from the start. If she did business, perhaps Shang Kaiwen would have fallen sooner.

    She made many mistakes from the start.

    She was too self-assured. If she had dealt with Shang Kaiwen like she did Shang Kaijie from the start, there wouldn’t be so many problems that followed.

    But she just wanted to see Shang Kaiwen struggle like an ant, that dark psychology made her indecisive.

    Now she left a hidden danger, and the first to fall would be her ally.
