Because of Shen Yuâs situation, the entire Shen Family has been implicated. Dong Shuhua looks much older, her hair turned white, and her relationship with her husband has completely deteriorated.
If it werenât for the inability to divorce, she wouldnât even be able to keep the title of Mrs. Shen.
Originally placing hope in Dong Shuhua, but she couldnât help, so she had to return again to seek help from the Hai Family.
"Donât ask me either; I havenât been involved for many years."
"Sir, you are a former leader; everyone needs to give you face. Besides, my brother is the Minister of the General Political Department; his words must carry weight."
The expression on the old manâs face instantly cooled a bit, and he countered, "Xiao Qiu, have you thought about Yun Fengâs position when you say that? Lanlan is our Hai Familyâs granddaughter; even Yun Feng couldnât save her. If he goes out of the way for Huwen, how will he explain it to Double festival? Double festival is also your second brother."
"I..." Actually, she wanted to say that Hai Lan is just a little beggar adopted by Zhou Yuan, how can she be compared to her own daughter?
But she would never foolishly say such a thing.
"Sir, can I take her place? Iâm willing to sacrifice everything for my daughter." With that, she turned her head, putting on a benevolent motherâs stance.
"Nonsense, what do you take the national law for? Can you just replace someone because you say so?"
"Sir..." Han Xiaoqiu bit her lip, swallowed her anger, and slowly said, "Are you blaming me?"
"Iâm not blaming you; you will always be my adoptive daughter; no one can change that. I wonât allow anyone to bully you, but I canât help you act recklessly either."
You didnât let others bully her, but you let that damned daughter-in-law bully her.
"Sir, I ask for nothing else; if you donât help me, I can only die right in front of you." After speaking, she stood up fiercely and rushed toward a pillar, but Ji Lihua swiftly stopped her.
"Donât stop me. As a mother, if I canât save my own daughter, how can I have the dignity to live in this world?" Han Xiaoqiu was filled with grief,
Ji Lihua looked at the old man, who sighed, "Go to Yun Feng then! If he is willing to make an exception for you, I have no objections."
"Thank you, sir." Han Xiaoqiu was overjoyed; it wasnât in vain to employ even self-hurting tactics.
"Donât get all dramatic in the future."
"Okay."
"Go on."
Han Xiaoqiu wiped her tears, left satisfied, and headed straight for the General Political Department.
Ji Lihua said expressionlessly, "Old leader, werenât you determined not to help?"
"I was!" The old man sighed, "But I still owe her father a favor. When her father died, he entrusted her to me, and I promised to take good care of her."
"Sir, you actually owe nothing to the Han Family. As your assistant, itâs my duty to protect the leader, which is entirely understandable." Ji Lihua disliked Han Xiaoqiuâs way of coercing people with so-called gratitude.
"Enough! Have you found Baoâer?"
"Last time we finally narrowed the target down to Liyang County, but we didnât get any results. After returning, the minister held another meeting and still believes the clues are in Liyang County. He has already dispatched assistants to continue searching. Even if it means flipping Liyang County upside down, we must find Baoâer."
Ji Lihua gritted his teeth, declaring fiercely, "We wonât give up until we find him."
"Thank you for your hard work; I wonder if I can live to see that day with my age."
