Chapter 350: Flash Marriage, Playing With Fire

.But she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed. "Why can't I know..." The question kept replaying in her mind. She felt like she was being left out, excluded from the circle.The phone on the beds...Even after waking up, Qiao Wenyu was still very weak. He lay flat on the white hospital bed, his face with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a few strands of gray stubble on his jaw, making him look more haggard and aged.

He seemed very tired and lacked energy.

However, he half-opened his eyes and looked at the relatives in the ward, seemingly listening intently to his old mother, Qiao Lao Tai Tai's, low sobs and earnest admonitions.

"Wenyù ah, you must get better, understand After this happened, I'm so worried. Let's just live well..."

Qiao Wenyù's lips were chapped and he didn't speak, only weakly nodding to the old woman.

Jo Bao'er stood quietly beside her, watching. When her gaze fell upon the bedside, a tangle of emotions stirred within her - guilt and shame, which caused her to immediately lower her head.

After her grandmother finished her story, she wiped away some tears and turned to call out, "Bao'er, come closer, take a look at your dad."

Her aunt, Gu Ruyue, gently nudged her aside. Qiao Bao'er froze for a moment before taking a big step forward, her gaze locking with the person on the bed. In that instant, her eyes widened in disbelief and confusion.

Although Qiao Wenyu was weak and listless, his eyes were still sharp, staring straight at her.

He seemed to be waiting for her to say something.

Before this, Ye Wei had run to Qiao's house to make a scene, and Qiao Baoer had heard all about those old grievances.

She knows everything about her mother, Gu Ruqing, including her background.

Qiao Baoer hoped he would wake up so she could apologize in person, but when she actually faced him, her heart was blocked, and she couldn't say a word.

She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth and calling out a single word, "Dad."

Qiao Wenyue's eyes flashed with surprise, then he closed his eyes, as if he also understood that this daughter of his wouldn't be able to say anything touching or heartfelt.

His eyes were moist.

Because he had undergone a craniotomy, his hair was shaved off, and there was a hole in his skull with a tube draining the blood. Qiao Wenyu suddenly strained and shifted to the right side. Gu Ruyue noticed this immediately and rushed forward to support him, preventing him from moving around.

Jo Baoer was very close to him. She could clearly see the tear in the corner of her father's right eye.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, she was greatly shocked.

She had never seen her father cry as long as she could remember. Men don't shed tears easily, it seemed like an old saying engraved in everyone's heart. Even if a man cried, he had to do it without showing any emotion.

Qiao Wenyu seemed to want to sleep again, his breath evened out, and he gradually fell asleep.

Over the past 20 years, many things that had been buried deep in his heart surfaced one by one in his mind. The images appeared chaotically, leaving him exhausted. His brow was furrowed as if he were making a great effort to recall them.

Qiao Bao'er and the others didn't dare to disturb him. Now, her father needed rest the most. Her aunt insisted on staying in the ward, while Qiao Bao'er helped her grandmother out of the ward.

Grandma Qiao just walked out of the ward and suddenly remembered another thing, "Give Aunt Ye Wei a call and tell her that Wen Yu has woken up..."

After all, they are family. After this incident, family should be even more united.

< Qiao Bao'er pursed her lips, her expression somewhat complicated. >

"Bao'er, I know you and Ye Wei don't get along, but right now, please don't hold a grudge against her. Your father has woken up, and no matter what, you have to let her know. As for whether she wants to remain part of the Qiao family in the future, we won't force or persuade her."

Grandma Qiao's thoughts were simple. Since Qiao Wenyu had gotten into such an accident, and Ye Wei was still young and beautiful, she had likely married into the Qiao family primarily for money. If she felt it wasn't suitable anymore, then she should leave. Grandma Qiao wouldn't pursue her or keep her.

Qiao Baoer was conflicted and didn't respond for a moment.

Grandma Qiao naturally felt that she was ostracizing Ye Wei in her heart. Just as she wanted to persuade her again, Qiao Bao'er raised her head, sighed silently, and nodded in agreement, "I know."

I'm going to get her over here.

Zhu Xiaowei had been waiting for them outside the door. As she walked closer to Qiao Baier's ear, she quickly asked, "Do you know where Ye Wei is"

She just told Qiao Baoer about Ye Wei being taken, and she was still looking surprised. Now she has to go find her.

Qiao Baoer watched her grandmother being helped into the elevator by the nanny. She turned and walked in the other direction, Zhu Xiaowei hurriedly followed behind her, enthusiastically suggesting, "Should I go ask Pei Haoran..."

Qiao Bao'er turned her head and looked at her strangely, "Are you close to Pei Haoran"

"Zhu Xiaowei, you seem to be getting close to Pei Haoran. Are there any secrets you two aren't telling us"

Just as he reached the doctor's office door, Lu Qinian walked out, grinning with a flirtatious and suggestive look in his eyes.

Zhu Xiaowei was flustered and immediately denied, "No, no!" But her cheeks flushed red.

Actually, Qiao Bao'er's way of finding someone was very traditional. She just threw the trouble to Lu Gongzi. She never thought of looking for Pei Haoran.

What is Pei Haoran's phone number

qiao ba er is very straightforward, she asked for pei haoran's phone number right away.

What are you looking for Pei Haoran

"Is something wrong Tell me, I'm sure I can help." Lu Qinan felt ignored and started complaining loudly.

Lu Qinan continued to strive for favor, "Hey, what's with the mystery Why can't I know If Pei Haoran can do it, I can definitely..."

Zhu Xiaowei stammered nervously, "I asked you about Ye Wei, and you said you didn't know. Pei Haoran received a message this morning saying that Ye Wei had been kidnapped..."

"What!"

Qiao Ba'er found him too noisy, and she pushed him away, saying, "Go cool off somewhere else."

Joe Bao'er looked serious and called Pei Haoran. At first, Pei Haoran was a little surprised to receive her call. Joe Bao'er didn't have much interaction with Pei Haoran, a gentle and refined man. Their interactions were as polite and understated as those between gentlemen.

"I want to know where Ye Wei is now"

Finally, Qiao Baier absentmindedly said, "Oh."

After hanging up the phone, she was silent for a long time.

Lu Qinan and Zhu Xiaowei looked at each other, feeling something was wrong. Qiao Bao'er raised her head, her voice slurred as she told them, "Now drive to find Jun Zhim牧."ectly.Qiao Bao'er struck very hard. The noblewoman seemed stunned, her tears stopping mid-flow, and she stared at Qiao Bao'er with an empty and frightened expression, too terrified to utter another cu...
