Chapter 498 His Daughter
“I respect anyone’s decision, but it won’t change my principle of doing things,” Bao Yichen said slowly, his eyes locked on her for a long time. It was one thing for him to accompany Zhong Chulan in pushing the case forward, but it was another thing for him to not really want to kill Huaien in the depths of his heart. He was very clear about it. “So, you asked the police to stop investigating the case before because you didn’t want Lachlan to reveal Huaien,” Zhong Chulan said slowly with her fingers clasped in her palms.
Bao Yichen pressed his eyebrows slightly and did not answer. Zhong Chulan’s eyes flickered as she looked in the direction that Alma had left in. If I had not insisted, perhaps Lachlan would not have died. She hated the fact that she had caused the Jones family and Bao Yichen to become like this. She had always wanted to resolve this matter, but she did not expect… Zhong Chulan pursed her lips, her eyes slightly cold.
“Maybe Alma won’t come out to testify.”
She turned around and walked out with her back to the cold corridor. “That was not caused by you,” Bao Yichen caught up with her. “… I know, but I can’t adapt to the situation in front of me.” Those feelings of anger that could not be vented fell into her heart and accumulated deeper and deeper. As they were talking, Huaien’s assistant, Qiao Lin, ran in. “Mr. Barnwell, Vice President Barnwell is in trouble. Can you go to the Southern District Hospital now? I need the family signature urgently. Otherwise, there is no way to operate the surgery.” Bao Yichen’s eyes turned cold. It happened at this time. Zhong Chulan’s face darkened, but she understood what she should do. She stepped down the stạirs, got in the car, and closed the door. The driver was stunned. “Miss Jones, where’s Sir?” “He has to go to the hospital. Let’s drive first.” Barnwell family was his problem. He had already given her enough respect. Now, it was her turn.
When Bao Yichen stepped down the stairs, he saw the car drive out of the gate and
disappear at the end of the road. “Mr. Barnwell, hurry up and go.” Qiao Lin urged nervously. “What’s wrong with Second Uncle?” Bao Yichen asked as he opened the car door. “Brain hemorrhage.” Qiao Lin answered. The car quickly drove out. Along the way, Qiao Lin drove at a high speed, ignoring the traffic lights. It seemed that he was really risking his life. Bao Yichen’s eyes darkened. When they came to the outside of the hospital, they saw that the operation had begun.
There was a thin figure sitting at the door of the operating room. She heard footsteps and looked up with tears in her eyes. “Brother Yichen?” Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and threw herself into Bao Yichen’s arms. “I didn’t expect this to happen!” Bao Yichen frowned. He knew that Huaien had been married abroad, but he had never heard that he had a daughter. After watching the news that day, he was also very surprised, and even more so, he did not expect that the Qin Moumou that the reporter mentioned at that time was her. Qin Xiaoxiao sobbed. “After my adoptive parents adopted me, they kept the coin on me. It was engraved with the mark left by my parents when they sent me to the orphanage.” Qin Xiaoxiao took it out. On a gold copper coin, there was a small word engraved. “Don’t be too sad,” Qiao Lin said with concern. Qin Xiaoxiao sobbed and nodded. “I…” She still wanted to act pitiful in front of Bao Yichen, but before she could say anything, Bao Yichen had already thrown her to the side. He turned around and walked towards the director’s office. When his figure disappeared from view, Qin Xiaoxiao’s tears stopped abruptly. She hurriedly looked at Qiao Lin. “Did you go too far?” In an instant, two faces. “It seems that Mr. Barnwell has no doubts.” Even Qiao Lin did not react. Qin Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I heard that Lachlan is already dead?” When she mentioned the death of a person, there was no change in her peach blossom like face.
Qiao Lin seemed to feel that it was a bit inconceivable. But Qin Xiaoxiao had already sat down and adjusted her mood. She was now a daughter who had just recognized her father, but her father was wandering between life and death. She absolutely could not let Bao Yichen see any flaws. Otherwise, this plan would have failed. Just as Huaien had said, Bao Yichen’s biggest weakness was Zhong Chulan, but his second weakness was his family. Because he had lost his parents and everything since he was a child. Every minute he lived in this world, he desperately hoped to be understood and cared for by others. This was also the reason why he had dated Alma with just a jade pendant
He really hoped that there was someone who could let him catch his breath. Now, he had experienced so much with Zhong Chulan. The complicated relationship between them had long made him feel tired. Qin Xiaoxiao appeared at the right time. Thinking of Huaien’s instructions before entering the operating room, Qin Xiaoxiao squeezed out another drop of tears. “Mr. Barnwell is not here now. Don’t cry.” When Qiao Lin saw her cry, he felt his heart ache.
