The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1251: He Knows Her Weakness Precisely

Upon seeing the discomfort on Zi Yunsui’s face, he continued indifferently, "Big brother knows her weak spot well, and Hua Xiaomo, she would rather suffer her whole life than tell you and make things difficult for you!"

Zi Yunsui was startled, quite puzzled in his heart. He had guessed that Hua Xiaomo was hiding something from him, and indeed she was.

"Qi Lingfeng, tell me quickly, what is her unspeakable secret? And how is Qi Longbing threatening her?" Zi Yunsui said excitedly, looking at the cold man before him, both startled and unstartled.

Qi Lingfeng remained silent, avoiding his piercing gaze, considering for a couple of seconds. Finally, he met his eyes again, his resolve firm.

"More than a year ago, Hua Xiaomo wanted to leave my brother, and he made an unreasonable demand to restrain her. They reached a written agreement." Qi Lingfeng answered calmly.

Zi Yunsui’s face fell; indeed, he had never heard Hua Xiaomo mention this issue.

"What agreement?" Zi Yunsui asked suddenly. His deep black eyes were filled with confusion.

"Everyone knows she was raised by my brother, so Qi Longbing wanted her to give him one hundred million dollars to redeem herself; otherwise, she would have to stay with him forever, whether as a slave, servant, or wife!" Qi Lingfeng replied suddenly, recalling how he was shocked for a long time when Hua Xiaomo told him about it. He couldn’t understand why Qi Longbing would make such an agreement. Now it seemed he had plans all along.

One hundred million dollars?!

Zi Yunsui’s heart sank. He quickly thought of some things.

"Is that why you took her away from the Qi Corporation?" Zi Yunsui asked sharply. He could imagine the situation at the time. According to Ye Xiangxue’s investigation, Hua Xiaomo was maliciously disfigured before going to Korea.

"By then, she was completely disappointed with my brother, so she wanted to leave and start a new life in a place he would never find. However, over a year later, she still couldn’t escape from him or this debt; she must spend her life repaying his kindness for raising her. Oh... it’s truly fate!" Qi Lingfeng said calmly, his tone slightly melancholic.

"..." Zi Yunsui couldn’t speak, listening to Qi Lingfeng’s words. Then Xi Liang’s gaze became sharp, saying word by word, "Damn! It’s truly despicable! That is a woman’s lifelong happiness! And it was taken away by him just like that?! Even if she doesn’t love him, he still forces her to stay. Doesn’t he have any conscience? Can forced love ever bring happiness?"

Thinking of these things, Zi Yunsui’s face darkened. His arms were tightly clenched into fists. Finally, he understood why Hua Xiaomo didn’t tell him about this, even when he persistently questioned her that day. In hindsight, she really didn’t want to make things difficult for him...

"Hua Xiaomo, she’s really foolish!" Zi Yunsui’s low voice was filled with endless sorrow.

Qi Lingfeng glanced at him, sighing lightly in his heart.

"That’s just how tyrannical my brother is; he doesn’t care what others think, whether they’re willing or not. He’s unwilling to lose out. Even if it means sacrificing her entire life, he doesn’t care!" Qi Lingfeng said in silence. There was a complex emotion in his eyes, but Qi Longbing, after all, was his brother, someone he could never escape from. Why did Hua Xiaomo have to be like him, living under his oppressive control?! This... is unfair to her!!

"Why are you telling me all this? I know you still have feelings for her..." Zi Yunsui slowly replied.

"Even if I have feelings, so what? I no longer have the right to have her... It was my foolishness, letting go of her hand so easily. Once lost, it’s never coming back..." Qi Lingfeng said with a tinge of sadness, turning away after finishing his sentence, not letting the other see his loss of composure.

"..." Zi Yunsui did not say anything further, but he still had doubts about why he was helping him, so slowly he asked, "Qi Longbing is your brother, aren’t you afraid he’ll blame you for telling me this?"

Qi Lingfeng listened to this, not particularly moved, just giving a slight bitter smile.

"He’s my brother, yes, but I can’t watch both of them suffer. My brother can’t win her heart, and even if he forces it, it would only bring pain to both sides, how can there be happiness? Qi Longbing and Hua Xiaomo are both my dearest relatives, I don’t want to see them hurt each other. So... better to separate..." Qi Lingfeng said calmly. His tone wasn’t strong, but his words were firm.

Zi Yunsui was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Are you so sure that I can give her happiness?" Zi Yunsui couldn’t help asking, with a confident gaze, feeling somewhat moved. This man was helping him...

Qi Lingfeng eyed him, pressed his lips lightly.

"You can, because... she loves you..." Qi Lingfeng said, turning his face away, feeling a momentary sense of loss but quickly regaining his composure, masking his feelings, and saying steadily, "Well, I should be going now. I trust you don’t need me to tell you what to do next."

Watching his departing figure, suddenly.

"Qi Lingfeng..." Zi Yunsui called out.

Qi Lingfeng stopped, turned his head slightly, glancing at him.

"Thank you for helping me." Zi Yunsui’s sincere voice flowed through the air.

"I’m not helping you, I’m helping myself." Qi Lingfeng said indifferently, gripping the curved, carved doorknob. With a light push, the door opened, and he quickly slipped out, leaving.

Qi Lingfeng left, the news he brought kept Zi Yunsui’s heart unsettled for a long time.

Ye Xiangxue came in. Seeing his heavy expression, countless guesses ran through her mind.

"What did that person say?" Ye Xiangxue asked.

"..." Zi Yunsui glanced at him, pondered for a while, and said calmly, "Hua Xiaomo and Qi Longbing signed a one hundred million dollar redemption contract!"

"What?!" Ye Xiangxue was somewhat surprised. One hundred million dollars... what concept is that... Immediately, a voice stopped him from continuing without thinking, "Don’t believe him! Who knows if it’s Qi Longbing’s conspiracy? He is his brother, there’s no reason he would tell you this unless he wants you to ruin their marriage? Would he betray his own family?! Zi Yunsui, you shouldn’t be fooled by his sweet words, lest you lose both your wife and soldiers!"

Zi Yunsui’s clear eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of a thousand reasons, ten thousand reasons, indeed Qi Lingfeng had no position to help him, as he was not familiar with him.
