ait until she finds out, because it would hurt her even more. 。"It wasn't easy for the two of them to get to this point," Song Xinzhe said angrily, 。This wave of painful choices isn't over yet, Qiao...Thinking about it, it seems like it's been a long time since I last went to my grandfather's place, Qiao Zixuan continued.

"Auntie, when are you free Can you take me to Grandpa's place I miss him."

"Sounds good."

Qin Jing readily agreed, thinking that if she could meet Xuan Xuan's grandfather, perhaps there would be some gain. However, before going, she needed to learn more about Xuan Xuan's grandfather.

Several days had passed, there was no new news from anywhere. Qiao Shunchen felt a growing sense of urgency. Even his usually calm demeanor couldn't hold back the anxiety.

pacing back and forth in the office, I finally couldn't help but call Song Xinzhe.

"How is it going Any news on your end"

"No, Tang Danni always avoids this topic, and we haven't been in contact for long enough to be close enough to talk about anything. Don't worry, just wait a little longer, I'm sure I can get it out of her."

Song Xinzhe gave a negative answer. To be honest, he had met Tang Dani a few times, but he had never brought up the topic because he hadn't weighed whether or not it would hurt Qin Jingwen.

"The faster the better."

Qiao Shunchen hung up the phone disappointedly, his expression still not calming down.

A knock on the door sounded, followed by Sun Xu walking in.

"Mr. Qiao, I found the video about what you asked me to look into that day. The water you drank was drugged by Song Yiren."

Son Xugang had just finished his report, his voice still trailing off, when he heard Qiao Shunchen slam his fist on the table with a deafening thud.

"Song Yien, I knew there was something wrong with her."

Qiao Shunchen roared angrily, his fury fueled not only by Song Yien but also by the desperate need to uncover the truth.

“I was checking the supermarket’s surveillance footage. After buying water, she unscrewed the bottle cap and put something inside, but I don't know what it was. Based on your condition at the time, I suspect it was sleeping pills.”

"Here, have a look at the video."

Song Xinzhe reported, then took out his phone to find the video and came to Qiao Shunchen's side.

Looking at Song Yiren's sneaky appearance on the screen, Qiao Shunchen's anger burned even hotter. She was scheming against him, she was digging her own grave, trying to use this trick to secure her position. It seemed like a wishful thinking.

"How is the acquisition of Song's company going"

Joe Shunchen's insidious voice broke the silence, sounding like the panic before a storm.

"Still ongoing, theirs…"

"Speed up."

Qiao Shunchen didn't want to hear any reasons, he just wanted the Song Corporation to collapse as soon as possible, to give his grandfather an explanation and make Song Yien pay.

"Yes, I'll inform Chen Shu immediately."

Sun Xu left the office, and Qiao Shunchen was left alone in deep thought.

Although Song Yi'en was causing trouble, what still affected his mood was Qin Jingwen. He hoped that Tang Danyi would have news soon.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shunchen also thought of Song Yien. She and Qin Jingwen were classmates too. Would she know about the past Was there a connection between their grievances and Qin Jingwen's secret

The phone, that phone must surely be hiding the two of them's unknown secret. Thinking of this, Qiao Shunchen quickly walked back to his desk and found Qin Jingwen's lost phone from the drawer and looked through it again.

This time he looked carefully, opening each folder. And he seriously looked over the photos of the two children from when they were little again.

This time, upon closer inspection, Qiao Shunchen still didn't see anything like Xu Xu.

When he first saw Xuanxuan, she was already a month old. She was completely different from the frail baby in the photos taken right after birth.

Qiao Shunchen tightened his cold brows, and suddenly remembered the birthmark on Xuanxuan's body. He began searching for the same birthmark in the photo, but coincidentally, the child's left forearm in the photo was just out of view.

Qiao Shunchen was disappointed once again, she began to continue looking for clues, and finally in a solitary folder, Qiao Shunchen found a video file.

When he opened the file, his anger surged uncontrollably.

In the painting, Song Yien is teaching Qiao Zixuan a lesson. She doesn't just scold him; she also physically abuses him from time to time. Zixuan doesn't dare to utter a word or cry. He stands there trembling, enduring the beatings.

Qiao Shunchen pounded the table like a mad lion, using all his might. Song Yien, Song Yien, she didn't deserve to be human at all, venting all the unfair things she perceived onto her child. It was filthy and despicable.

Qiao Shunchen's eyes flashed with danger, as cold and piercing as Arctic ice.

Could this be the reason why Song Yien always makes trouble for Qin Jingwen

As Qiao Shunchen was about to leave with his phone, he happened to run into Qin Jingwen who had just stepped out of the office.

Qiao Shunchen walked up to Qin Jingwen, his face grim and eyes cold. He grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the elevator.

This sudden behavior left Qin Jingwen completely dumbfounded.

"Joe..."

"Follow me. Something's up."

Jo Shunchen was almost commanding, not giving Qin Jingwen a chance to retort.

Two people stepped into the elevator. Qiao Shunchen held Qin Jingwen's hand, and this scene happened to be seen by Su Qin, instantly a jealous look appeared in her eyes.

Qin Jingwen was brought all the way home by Qiao Shunchen. At this time, no one was at home. It was the most convenient time to talk about things.

"Come on, what's wrong You've been giving me the cold shoulder all the way here."

From the moment Qin Jingwen saw Qiao Shunchen's face, stormy and grim, she knew something important was up. The way he gripped her hand confirmed it.

Joe Shunchen didn't speak. He took Qin Jingwen's phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"Is this your phone"

Qin Jingwen looked at her phone, and her head suddenly ached. How could her phone be in Qiao Shunchen's hands Did he see the contents of her phone Did he see something after that that made him so angry

"It's mine, how is it in your hands"

Qin Jingwen spoke lightly, avoiding the heavy topic.

"It doesn't matter who's hands it's in, what's the matter with the video inside"

Joe Shunchen's cold and composed opening, with the questioning in his eyes so obvious, made Qin Jingwen feel a chill run down her spine. It was as if there was evidence of her wrongdoing right here.

Qiao Shunchen's question made Qin Jingwen understand, he must have seen the video inside, but he shouldn't come to find her, he should go to Song Yien.

Qin Jingwen opened her phone and first went to the video folder. It was empty, with nothing inside. It was obviously deleted by someone. Then she opened another folder, which contained only one video - the video of Song Yien beating Xuanxuan at the banquet that day.

What's going on Explain.

Joe Shunchen asked in a cold voice, his eyes burning with anger that seemed to scorch Qin Jingwen.

"It's exactly what you see, is there anything I need to explain The video was taken by me, I..."

Qin Jingwen had no choice but to tell the truth. It seemed she couldn't keep her promises to the chairman and Xuanxuan.

"I'm not asking you who took it, I'm asking you why you didn't tell me"

Qiao Shunchen suddenly roared, interrupting Qin Jingwen's words.

"Xuan Xuan wouldn't let me say, afraid you'd worry too. The chairman also wouldn't let me say, he said it would affect his plans. There's nothing I can do but keep it a secret. Besides, what could I have done Could you divorce Song Yi En"

Qin Jingwen did not fear Qiao Shunchen's anger. At the beginning, she started to answer in a low voice, but as she spoke, her emotions couldn't be controlled and rose to a high pitch.

Huanhuan had kept the abuse she suffered bottled up inside her for a long time. She also wanted to find someone to vent to, to scream and rage out loud. But why did she end up becoming the target of others' anger instead

For the greater good, she concealed this matter. Could she be wrong

Qin Jingwen's single sentence left Qiao Shunchen speechless. Standing before Qin Jingwen, he felt as if his internal organs were about to explode from Song Yien's actions. He couldn't take out his anger on Song Yien at this moment, but venting it onto Qin Jingwen was unfair.

"Temporarily unavailable."

"If you can't do it, don't ask me. I can't help either."

Qin Jingwen retorted loudly, her voice filled with anger just like Qiao Shunchen's.

"Did Grandpa know about this too"

Qiao Shunchen's voice softened, realizing his attitude towards Qin Jingwen was a bit too much.

"I know. Last time Song Yiren abused Xuanxuan, I couldn't do anything but call the chairman."

Since Qiao Shunchen already knows, he doesn't mind knowing more. Since this matter can no longer be concealed, let's just tell everything.

"She abused軒軒 again How many times has she abused 軒軒"

Qiao Shunchen's emotions surged uncontrollably again. Thinking of Xuxu's helpless little face, his heart shattered into pieces.

"How many times I can't count how many times from small to large. As long as you are away on business, as long as she is in a bad mood, she will abuse Xuanxuan."

These were all things Xuan Xuan and Qin Jingwen had told her, and now she was telling them to Qiao Shunchen, the anger still unabated.

"Joe Shunchen, come with me. You see how Song Yien abuses Xuanxuan."

Qin Jingwen decided to show Qiao Shunchen all the evidence, letting him know how unqualified he was as a father and making him think about what he was doing while Xuanxuan was being abused.

Qin Jingwen finished speaking, her anger evident as she turned and went directly to her studio. Qiao Shunchen followed behind her.

Qin Jingwen opened her laptop and played each of the videos she had collected for Qiao Shunchen, while she stood on the side wiping away tears.

Qiao Shunchen's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Song Yien was so cruel, finding it hard to accept that Xuanxuan had gone through this. Watching Xuanxuan's frail body curled up on the ground, being kicked repeatedly by Song Yien, Qiao Shunchen wished he could kill Song Yien right now.

"Why didn't Xuanxuan tell me Why did he have to bear this alone at such a young age If I hadn't met you, would he still be suffering abuse"

Joe Shunchen seemed to be asking, but more so blaming himself. This was all his fault. All the unpleasantness between him and Song Yien had been shouldered by Xuanxuan. He pitied his child who had always lived in darkness and pain, while he, as a father, remained oblivious.

"Why You're still asking why You're so distant and cold towards him, how could he have said that Your heart is with another woman, haven't you left even a sliver for him If you just showed him a little bit of care, he wouldn't be treated like this."

Qin Jingwen couldn't help but cry even harder, finally she could accuse Qiao Shunchen loudly, finally she could fight for Xuenxuan's favor.

I really don't know how things turned out like this. It's my fault, I ignored Xu Xuan.

Joe Shunchen was filled with self-reproach, his guilt over Xuanxuan reaching its peak at this moment. This little child had endured things he shouldn't have had to.ather and didn't want to be with him. 。"Ugh..."Qiao Zixuan sighed, feeling lost and unsure whether to continue helping his father. He also wondered if his mother truly wanted to leave his father."Half...
