Chapter 67: Sheng Yu would never betray me

Qiao Shuran pouted and muttered softly, “I’m not a child anymore, what’s there that I can’t hear?”

Mother Qiao frowned, her tone becoming more serious, “Ranan, be good.”

“I know.”

Qiao Shuran finally lowered her head, slowly got up and went upstairs.

“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?” Qiao Shuyi asked tentatively.

Mother Qiao and Father Qiao looked at each other, then sighed, “Shuyi, how could you be with him…”

“Dad, Mom, Sheng Yu is a good person, he truly cares for me, and I like him too… Can’t I be with him?”

Logically speaking, the Sheng family, in terms of wealth, connections, and status, were far beyond the Qiao family. Sheng Yu was also a top-notch individual, no matter how you looked at it, it was she who was climbing up.

But why were her parents not happy at all, and even had a hint of worry in their brows?

“Sheng Yu is indeed faultless, young and successful, steady and ambitious, his private life is clean, and he’s also handsome.”

Father Qiao’s tone turned, becoming heavier, “Those side branches of the Sheng family are not easy to deal with. Over the years, they have caused Sheng Yu countless troubles, both openly and secretly. Even the death of Sheng Yu’s parents…”

Father Qiao suddenly fell silent, his face becoming solemn.

Qiao Shuyi was shocked, subconsciously asking, “What about the death of Sheng Yu’s parents?”

Father Qiao remained silent for a moment, then lowered his voice, “These are just rumors, there’s no concrete evidence. It’s said that the car accident involving Sheng Yu’s parents might not have been an accident, someone might have deliberately done it…”

Qiao Shuyi pursed her lips, not speaking, her mind filled with memories.

The death of Sheng Yu’s parents was always a forbidden topic for Sheng Yu and Sheng Tang. Even though she had a close relationship with Sheng Tang in her previous life, she never mentioned it in front of her.

She was afraid of triggering bad memories, afraid of making her sad and cry.

But occasionally, some malicious people would deliberately rub salt on their wounds.

She remembered that one winter, something important happened in the Sheng family.

It seemed that at an important event, a unscrupulous media repeatedly questioned Sheng Yu about his parents, angering him. Sheng Yu snatched the microphone and smashed it against the man’s head.

That night, the incident made the news. The media added fuel to the fire, portraying Sheng Yu as a violent person, attracting some uninformed people to cyberbully him, even affecting the stock price of Shengshi Group.

Sheng Tang was also greatly affected.

Qiao Shuyi remembered that night, she accompanied Sheng Tang in a bar and drank a lot of alcohol. The drunk Sheng Tang hugged her and cried like a child, vulnerable and helpless.

When exactly did it happen…

Qiao Shuyi tried to recall the details of the incident in her mind, but it had been a long time, and she couldn’t remember any important information for a while.

“Shuyi.”

Father Qiao’s voice rang out again, “I’ve dealt with those side branches of the Sheng family, especially Sheng Yu’s younger brother, the one named Sheng Mingze. He has a gloomy personality, is ruthless, and his face doesn’t look like a good person. If you really get together with Sheng Yu, you’ll inevitably have to deal with them.”

“Shuyi, your father and I don’t expect you to find someone who is rich and powerful. A simple, harmonious family, someone who treats you well, is enough. The Sheng family is too dazzling and outstanding. If you are with Sheng Yu, every word and action will be under scrutiny.” Mother Qiao also persuaded softly.

Qiao Shuyi pursed her lips and didn’t speak, her eyes filled with contemplation.

After a while, she raised her head, her eyes full of determination, “Dad, Mom, I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I truly love Sheng Yu. No matter what situation I face in the future, I want to be with him.”

In her previous life, Sheng Yu was willing to sacrifice his own life for her. How could she be scared by a little difficulty?

She wanted to be by Sheng Yu’s side, just like many years ago, she resolutely chose to stand by Sheng Tang’s side.

Just like in the fire in her previous life, Sheng Yu chose to rush into the flames to save her without hesitation.

It was all mutual.

She wasn’t afraid of difficulties and dangers, she was only afraid that her sincere feelings wouldn’t be reciprocated.

“You…”

Mother Qiao shook her head, her eyes filled with helplessness, “Others say you have a gentle personality, only your father and I know that you are the most stubborn. Once you’ve decided on something, no one can change your mind. You were determined to follow Gu Linchuan for so many years, and now you’re determined to be with Sheng Yu…”

“They’re different.”

How could Gu Linchuan compare to Sheng Yu?

One would kill her, and the other would save her regardless of his own safety.

“Sheng Yu would never betray me. If I encounter any danger, he would save me even if it cost him his life.”

Her tone was extremely firm and serious.

Hearing this, Father Qiao couldn’t help but sneer, “Shuyi, you can’t trust men’s words completely. When he’s good to you, he can put you on a pedestal. Once he’s not good to you, what will you do?”

“Then I’ll leave him without hesitation.” Qiao Shuyi didn’t care, “I have a job, I have a family, I can survive without him.”

Father Qiao was stunned, then laughed, “It’s best if you can think that way. You must remember, the Qiao family will always be your support. No matter what you encounter outside, your mother and I will always be by your side.”

These words warmed Qiao Shuyi’s heart, and a sourness welled up in her nose.

In her previous life, they had said the same thing…

“Yes, I know. Dad, Mom, thank you.”

“Since you like him, bring him back to meet us sometime. We’ll check him out for you.”

“Okay.”

…

Qiao Shuyi had prepared herself for their firm opposition, but she didn’t expect them to compromise so quickly.

She was touched, but her heart couldn’t help but feel sour.

She was so lucky to have such parents.

It was a pity about her previous life…

She didn’t know how sad her parents would be if they knew about her death.

Qiao Shuyi didn’t dare to think about it.

If she thought about it, she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

In this life, she had to live well, not just for herself, but also for Sheng Yu and Sheng Tang, for her parents and her sister.

Unconsciously, Qiao Shuyi thought of that incident again.

What year did it happen?

She only remembered that it was winter, not long before the new year, but the specific time was blurry.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Qiao Shuyi’s mind, and she sat up abruptly from bed.

She remembered.

Something else happened that day!
