The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 70 Seemingly in the Past

Qin Xue's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in my ears and making me dizzy. I stood there blankly, my mind was blank, and only the word "car accident" echoed repeatedly.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." I muttered to myself, shaking my head desperately, unwilling to believe this fact.

"Luo Xue, don't be like this..." Qin Xue held my hand worriedly, her eyes red, "Let's go to the hospital first."

I was mechanically pulled out of the office by her, and everything in front of me became blurry. I just felt like my heart was being grabbed tightly, and the pain was so severe that I was almost suffocating.

I didn't even have time to pack my things before I hurried to the hospital with Qin Xue. Along the way, I was praying that this was just a nightmare and that my adoptive parents would be safe.

However, the reality is cruel.

When I rushed to the hospital, I saw two cold bodies: my adoptive parents, lying there quietly, pale and lifeless.

At that moment, my world completely collapsed.

I don't know how I walked out of the hospital, nor how I got home. I only remember that I locked myself in the room, not eating, not drinking, not sleeping, and letting sadness and despair consume me.

I lost the two people who loved me the most in this world, and I also lost the last bit of trust between me and Zhong Yuxuan.

I don't know what to do or where to go.

Suddenly, I thought of that remote mountain village where I was born. Maybe I should go back and look for a little comfort in that original place.

So, I packed a few simple clothes, left this city that made me heartbroken, and started the journey back home.

***

After I left, Zhong Yuxuan looked for me like crazy. He searched all the places I might have been, but there was still no news of me.

He finally realized what a stupid mistake he had made. He shouldn't have doubted me, shouldn't have hurt me, and shouldn't have pushed me away when I needed him the most.

He fell into deep self-blame and pain, living in regret and longing every day. He began to reflect on his own behavior, recalling every moment we spent together over and over again.

He swore that if God gave him another chance, he would cherish me and never let me get hurt again.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

He knew that the only thing he could do now was to find me and beg for my forgiveness.

He will not give up, he will find me, no matter what the cost...

The dim light from the phone screen illuminated Qin Xue's anxious face. Her words were like a flash of lightning in the darkness, splitting my closed heart. "Luo Xue, you can't keep running away like this! Zhong Yuxuan..."

I interrupted her before she could finish, "How is he? He must be very proud now, finally getting rid of me." My tone was full of bitterness and self-mockery.

Qin Xue sighed deeply, put down her phone, and looked at me with complicated eyes, "Luo Xue, you are wrong, he is not doing well at all. Since you left, he seems to have become a different person, absent-minded all day long, and has also left the company's affairs aside, looking for you all over the world."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. The little hope in my heart was shattered. "He came to me? Maybe it was just for his own face, to stop the gossips."

Qin Xue grabbed my hand and said firmly: "No! He really loves you, he just..."

"Enough, Qin Xue, stop talking." I closed my eyes, not wanting to listen any more. Those words that once touched my heart now pierced my heart like needles.

Seeing me like this, Qin Xue also fell silent. After a long time, she spoke again, with a hint of pleading in her tone, "Luo Xue, come back with me. You can't solve anything by locking yourself up in this small mountain village, and it will only make those who care about you more worried."

I opened my eyes and looked at this good friend who I grew up with. The worry and concern in her eyes were not false. I knew she was doing this for my own good, but I couldn't respond to her expectations.

"Qin Xue, I..." I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Luo Xue, I know you are in pain now, but escape is not a solution. You should go back and face everything, and give Zhong Yuxuan a chance to explain." Qin Xue held my hand, her tone gentle but firm.

I looked at her, feeling mixed emotions. Finally, I nodded slowly, agreeing to her request.

After returning to the city, I moved back to my apartment and did not go to see Zhong Yuxuan. I knew that I was not ready to face him. Qin Xue would come to see me every day, bring me some daily necessities, and chat with me about some light topics, trying to cheer me up.

I knew I couldn't stay depressed like this any longer, I still had a lot of things to do. I had to find out the truth about my adoptive parents' car accident and start my life over again.

However, I don't know how to face Zhong Yuxuan. The love I once had has now turned into resentment and disappointment. Perhaps, time can dilute everything, or perhaps, there is really no going back between us...

Back in the hustle and bustle of the city, I felt like a wandering soul, living mechanically. Qin Xue said I needed to go out, so I forced myself to work, but the lines on the design draft were like the tangled thoughts in my mind, and I couldn't make them clear.

One evening, I dragged my tired body back to the apartment, opened the door, and saw a familiar figure sitting in the living room.

"You..." I took a step back in surprise, and the documents in my hand fell to the ground.

Zhong Yuxuan stood up slowly. His originally upright figure now showed a hint of dejection. The bloodshot eyes and stubble in his beard silently told of his fatigue.

"I heard that you've been worried about the Li Group recently." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of caution.

I glanced at him coldly, "It's none of your business."

"I know you're still angry with me, but I hope you can give me a chance to explain." He took a step forward and tried to get closer to me, but was forced back by my eyes.

"Explain? Explain what? Explain how you played me in the palm of your hand?" I couldn't suppress the rage in my heart any longer, and my words became as sharp as a knife. "Zhong Yuxuan, who do you think you are? A savior? I don't need you to interfere in my life!"

He was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I just want to do something for you to make up for the mistakes I made."

I sneered, "Make up for it? Can you make up for it?"

He stopped talking, but just bent down silently and picked up the documents on the ground. I saw an obvious wound on the back of his hand, as if he was scratched by something.

"This is……"

"I got hurt accidentally." He said calmly, sorting out the documents and putting them on the table. "I can help you solve the recent capital chain problem of the Li Group."

I was stunned. How did he know this?

"Are you investigating me?"

"I just want to help you." He said sincerely, "I know you won't accept my help easily, but I hope you can understand that I am sincere to you."

I turned my head away, not looking into his deep eyes. "No need. I can handle it myself."

In the next few days, I was still immersed in my own world, working hard and trying not to think about him. However, what I didn't expect was that Zhong Yuxuan actually started to interfere in the affairs of the Li Group. He used his personal connections to solve several difficult cooperation projects for the Li Group and even helped the company win several important overseas orders.

I can't deny that his help was a timely help to the Li Group, and it also made me have a slightly different opinion of him. Could it be that he was really making amends sincerely?

However, just when a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, the Li Group suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis... During those days, I often woke up from nightmares, in which I saw my father's seriously ill figure and the company's shaky scene. I tried desperately to hold on to something, but I could only watch everything fall into the abyss.

"Luo Xue, you have to hold on!" Qin Xue held my hand, her eyes red, "Uncle is a lucky man, you have to believe in him!"

I forced a smile, but my heart was chilled. The news of the Li Group's broken capital chain spread like wildfire. Partners withdrew their capital one after another, and banks stopped lending. The once glorious family business was now like a dilapidated ship that could be swallowed by huge waves at any time.

At this time, Zhong Yuxuan appeared. He brought funds, resources, and hope. He was like a mountain, standing between me and the storm, and using his broad shoulders to support a clear sky for me.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." His deep voice was full of strength, which gradually calmed my originally panicked heart.

I watched him busy at work, feeling mixed emotions. I used to think he was just a playboy who played around with people, but now I realize that he also has such a reliable side.

With the help of Zhong Yuxuan, the crisis of Li Group was gradually brought under control, but I knew that this was just the calm before the storm. A bigger crisis was waiting for us.

Sure enough, not long after, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue, and it plunged me into the abyss. Someone inside the company reported that Zhong Yuxuan used his power to transfer company funds to the Li Group, and was suspected of committing a crime!

This news was like a bomb, causing an uproar within the company. I immediately realized that all this was a carefully planned conspiracy, and Zhong Yuxuan and I were just pawns on the chessboard.

"Who is it? Who is behind all this?" I muttered to myself, countless suspects flashing through my mind, but I still couldn't figure out who the mastermind was.

Zhong Yuxuan was also caught off guard by this sudden change, but he quickly calmed down with a determined light in his eyes.

"Luo Xue, believe me, I will find out everything and give you justice!"
