Volume One, Chapter 52: Ye Qiaoqiao, I Really Want Your Whole Family to See What You Look Like Now

Page (1/3)

When Ye Qiaoqiao heard this, her eyes reddened with anger. Yet very soon, she composed herself with a trace of sorrow. It was all right. Her father could still have other family members, and her younger uncle would help her look after him. If the whole family were wiped out as they had been in her previous life, that would be a fate she could never bear.

“My father will save me.” That was what Ye Qiaoqiao thought, but aloud she said the opposite, soothing Zhong Hai.

After all, who would want to die if there were a chance to live?

“If it weren’t for the fact that you carry considerable weight in General Ye’s heart, I would have disposed of you long ago.” Zhong Hai narrowed his eyes. “The more General Ye cares about you, the better. That way, he’ll suffer, won’t he?”

Ye Qiaoqiao took several breaths but did not reply.

Zhong Hai seemed to...

At the thought of this, Shang Yang could not help feeling his heart grow warm. He wished he could rush to Changfeng City at once and discuss the matter with his wife.

After standing off against the Fire Wolf for so long without eating, Blackie had long since begun to feel the hunger gnawing at his empty stomach.

Beneath the bright moonlight, the base lay cold and desolate, its former vitality gone. Yang Wudeng sat on the edge of his bed, smoking a dry tobacco pipe as tears ran down his face. Li De remained silent, while Hua Song and the others sighed mournfully from time to time.

“Wang Pockmark, what are you in such a hurry for? Let him stake his wife,” another mahjong player chimed in.

Even so, when he finally managed to tear open the void, the Five Elements Ring he had used for protection nearly wounded his true body as well.

The Yanrong soldiers who entered the city sang and drank to their victory, dancing around bonfires. The Daxia soldiers hidden in the shadows also gained a brief chance to catch their breath.

Gao Minqi had no time to grieve. Shen Jing had already approached and offered his greetings. She came back to herself and summoned every ounce of strength to arrange what she believed was a graceful smile.

But there was someone outside the bedroom today—and someone who disgusted Li Fenghuang—so she kept her voice as low as possible.

Do not fear a life of poverty. Are we not all born of monkeys? So long as the heavens do not grow old and the earth does not become barren, there are no stars or moons we cannot catch, and no prosperity we cannot achieve.

Chen Zhi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He instinctively wanted to attack, but forcibly restrained the impulse. Holding his breath, he stared at the scorpion-bodied man only inches away.

Tang Ning did not know whom to believe for a moment. The fat man sounded so certain that perhaps there was some truth in what he said.

Just as he stood in the middle of the road shouting at the sky, a red sports car came roaring toward him and struck him head-on.

Sheng Xuan froze, somewhat annoyed that he had told Chu Yunlian everything just now—and in such detail at that. He must have been bewitched.

The Mountain Ghost did not approach Jinyan at all. It merely watched from afar as he made his futile resistance, elegantly straightening its clothes and brushing away the little dust that had settled upon them. Disgust filled its eyes. Then it took out a snow-white silk handkerchief and wiped every one of its fingers before tossing it into a demonic flame and reducing it to ashes.

Zhang Chen had spared no expense in outfitting Tang Yun’s salvage team, and the results were finally beginning to show. The cabin-cleaning work, originally expected to take more than four days, might well be completed within four days thanks to the team’s efficient coordination.

A bet was a bet. It was too late for regret, and Huang Deyi had no right to lament. Once he had made the choice, he had to bear the consequences himself. After returning to Hong Kong, he planned to formally “hand over” the jewelry store to Song Yi. Still, he was curious to see what kind of stir this young man could create in Hong Kong.

Xue Tao, Huang Guoliang, and the others could do nothing to Zhou Yu, but bullying Song Yi was no problem at all. Seeing a turn in Zhou Yu’s words, they immediately demanded that Song Yi sing for them.

Based on confessions from the other gang members and a comparison of photographs, the police reached their final confirmation: the man was Ma Shangfeng, whose position as honorary president had been revoked by the Collectors’ Association.

“I want to take Elena. If those gangsters come looking for you, Elena will be in danger.” Paul Danny opened the door and spoke to Jiang Zhen.

They watched helplessly as the pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a thick water pipe large enough for an adult to crawl through.

Following the crowd into the shop, everyone was struck by its bright windows and spotless interior. Yet the three enormous iron cauldrons set near the kitchen were truly impressive.

By possessing millions upon millions of living beings and experiencing their thoughts, their lives, and their deaths, one could thereby comprehend the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.

Five months was indeed enough time for a child to become familiar with everything in this passageway.

His phone vibrated. Lin Chu glanced at it casually and immediately felt much more at ease. A single round of gambling might seem short, but in truth it was not. The people around kept shouting encouragement, and there was also that peculiar anticipation gamblers felt while waiting for their cards to be revealed. As a result, a hand often took a very long time to finish.

Lin Chu and Yu Sile got into the car belonging to Lin Jiamao’s family. Both Lin Jiamao’s eyes and the driver’s were filled with amusement.

Ji Qingcheng cried out and crouched down, tugging at the hem of her top in an attempt to cover herself as best she could.

That was why Mao Weiren and Zhu Weiren came in person on behalf of the People’s Party for these negotiations, while Zhou Weiren remained in Yan’an to oversee the overall situation.

China’s victory in the war against the Japanese invaders drove the Japanese forces completely out of the country, astonishing nations around the world.

“The child had just been born then. How could it have endured such a journey? Su Zhonghe found a peasant household in advance and temporarily settled the child there. The baby was fostered for three months, and only after its body had grown stronger did she dare arrange for a carriage to take it back to her old home in Tianqian Ravine,” the Blind Granny said.

Qin Meiniang looked around the room, but there was not a single sharp weapon in sight. She had nothing on her with which to defend herself either. She was caught in terrible turmoil, truly trapped with no one to answer her cries for help.

“Wait!” Long Qing said calmly.

Then, as if a spell had been cast upon them, more than a dozen thugs were nailed to the spot in an instant.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. If my views should ever conflict with those of Your Majesty, the Noble Consort, and the Worthy Consort on a matter concerning Your Majesty, I will stand firmly on Your Majesty’s side.” Often, once a choice had been made, one had to follow it without wavering. At least from the moment she had made her decision until now, Yingchun had never regretted it.

The very next day, Han Xiaoshan took the earliest flight to Shenzhen. He hurried straight to Xiao Aiguo’s building-materials shop, where, upon entering, he saw Xiao Aiguo tending to the flowers and plants in his store.

“I did not—” Princess Gaoyang immediately began to protest. For Li Zhiyao’s sake, he was already willing to defy the entire world. She hardly dared imagine that one day she too might receive such love. Could it be true?

After eating and drinking his fill, the village chief carried a full bucket of hot water to his room. He enjoyed a comfortable hot bath, then slept soundly.
