Chapter 197 None of you will get away with this.
"Wan Qingsha, Zhu Shigou, Zhu Ziqing, none of you will get away with this!" Zhu Yahan said through gritted teeth. "Especially Zhu Ziqing, your existence is the root of my tragedy!"
She looked up and gazed out the window. The sky over the capital was overcast, as if it might snow at any moment.
Looking out the window, Zhu Yahan suddenly felt a strange feeling welling up inside her.
She thought of the cycle of snow; after each snowfall, the world becomes white and pure, as if everything has started anew.
"Yes, I want to start my life anew!" Zhu Yahan clenched her fist, her eyes revealing a firm determination.
She got up, walked to her desk, turned on her computer, and began searching for news about the Wan family.
Soon, she saw reports about Wan's business crimes being investigated and the company's senior leaders being arrested.
However, she did not find Wan Qingsha's name in these reports.
"It seems he wasn't implicated in the Wan family case." Zhu Yahan frowned, pondering to herself.
However, this did not deter Zhu Yahan from her desire for revenge. On the contrary, her determination only grew stronger.
"Wan Qingsha, even if you escape this time, I won't let you get away with it."
Zhu Yahan chuckled softly at her reflection in the mirror, a fierce glint in her eyes. "I swear, I will never let you live an easy life!"
……
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that fell upon them, creating a warm and cozy scene.
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Tan took Zhu Ziqing's hand and said gently, "Ziqing, Xiaoxuan and I will be going back to the United States in a few days."
I'm so grateful for your care while I've been here.
You and Haoyu, you must get along well from now on, and be considerate of each other, okay?
Zhu Ziqing smiled and nodded, replying softly, "Mom, don't worry, Haoyu and I will be fine."
After you get back, please take good care of yourself.
Tan Xiaoxuan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Mom, don't worry about it."
My brother is like a block of wood; he doesn't know how to make Ziqing happy.
Mrs. Tan sighed helplessly and said, "Xiaoxuan, stop teasing your brother."
He's always busy with work, I rarely have a chance to have a proper talk with him.
A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, followed by self-reproach: "It's all my fault for not being in good health. I made Haoyu take on the family business so early. It's too unfair to him."
Tan Xiaoxuan moved closer to Zhu Ziqing and asked with concern, "Ziqing, did my brother upset you?"
If he dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson.
Zhu Ziqing gently shook her head and said with a smile, "No, Xiaoxuan, Haoyu is very good to me."
However, Zhu Ziqing's condition has not been very good recently.
She often felt sleepy, and even though she slept for much longer than usual, she still felt exhausted when she woke up.
Despite saying she felt fine, she seemed somewhat distracted when faced with the concern of Tan's mother and Tan Xiaoxuan.
Looking at Zhu Ziqing's appearance, Tan's mother and Tan Xiaoxuan mistakenly thought that she was like this because she was too tired or had something unhappy on her mind.
Mrs. Tan said with concern, "Ziqing, if you're tired, go back to your room and rest. Don't push yourself here."
Zhu Ziqing forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'd like to sit with you a little longer."
Looking back on the nearly one month she spent with the Tan family, Zhu Ziqing was filled with emotion.
She deeply felt the care and love of the Tan family members, especially Tan's mother, whose kind and gentle appearance made her feel as if she had returned to her own mother's side.
Just then, a bombshell announcement spread like wildfire throughout Shenzhen – the Wan family was under investigation and key leaders had been detained.
When Zhu Ziqing heard this news, she had very mixed feelings.
She had expected to feel a sense of satisfaction from revenge, but to her surprise, she felt no joy as she had anticipated. Instead, she was overwhelmed by an indescribable emotion.
“Life is truly full of uncertainties,” Zhu Ziqing remarked. “Sometimes, a change in fate can happen in an instant and quickly alter a person’s destiny.”
She couldn't help but think of Wan Qingsha, the eldest son of the Wan family. He used to be incredibly successful and the center of attention wherever he went, but now he was destitute and homeless, his circumstances completely different from before.
"That Mr. Yan is even more formidable than I imagined," Zhu Ziqing thought to herself. "It would be best to stay away from him in the future."
Thinking of this, Zhu Ziqing thought of Zhu Shigou, the man who had hurt her and her mother. The thought that he had escaped without receiving the punishment he deserved filled Zhu Ziqing with anger and resentment.
"Zhu Shigou, do you think you can escape? One day, you will pay the price for what you have done!" Zhu Ziqing secretly vowed in her heart.
Just then, the phone rang, breaking the silence.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was Tan Haoyu calling.
Zhu Ziqing's lips curled up slightly as she answered the phone, deliberately speaking in a playful tone: "Hey, Haoyu, what brings you to call me all of a sudden? I was just thinking about you."
On the other end of the phone, Tan Haoyu did not respond immediately, and the brief silence left Zhu Ziqing somewhat puzzled.
"Haoyu, why aren't you saying anything? What's wrong?" Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but ask.
Tan Haoyu still didn't answer her question directly, but remained silent for a moment.
Zhu Ziqing had been prone to drowsiness lately, and the silence was making her a little irritated. She yawned and said, "Haoyu, I'm a little sleepy. Should we hang up now?"
"Ziqing." Just as Zhu Ziqing was about to hang up the phone, Tan Haoyu suddenly called her name.
Zhu Ziqing paused for a moment, then said softly, "Haoyu, I'm not angry with you."
By the way, the elders are going back to the US, is there anything else I should prepare?
Tan Haoyu replied, "No need, everything has already been arranged."
Zhu Ziqing sighed softly and said with emotion, "Alas, the elders are about to go back, and I feel empty inside. I really miss them."
Tan Haoyu gently comforted him, "It's okay, you still have me."
Zhu Ziqing pouted and said, "It's different. The feelings of a husband and an elder are different."
Tan Haoyu simply responded with an "Mm".
Hearing his brief response, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but mutter, "Your answer is really annoying."
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a huff.
