Chapter 273: Sacrificing Everything Doesn’t Matter
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment by the yelling, and pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved: "Dad, you are so mean to me."
Butler Zhao wiped his face irritably. "Yueyue, the plan went awry. Wang Ling accidentally ate Shen Lan's food and was poisoned and hospitalized. Master Yu has been tracked down and is currently at the police station. He'll probably be sentenced in a few days and will also face crazy retaliation from the Wang family."
Zhao Yue's face turned pale with fear, and her lips trembled slightly: "How could this happen? It was obviously foolproof..."
"Nothing is foolproof. We are human, and even the most meticulously planned plans can still have flaws that we haven't noticed. Shen Lan is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart and quickly cleared her name."
Butler Zhao stared at Zhao Yue intently. He knew she was afraid, but he still had to make it clear: "Master Yu ended up like this because he was confused for a moment. It has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?"
Zhao Yue shrank back and nodded, feeling that the father in front of her was a little scary.
Seeing her so frightened, Butler Zhao forced himself to calm down and forced a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. What we did was so secretive that even Old Yu himself didn't notice. As long as we don't tell anyone, it won't be exposed."
Zhao Yue nodded and was about to say something when she suddenly saw the luggage at her father's feet and her eyes paused.
In an instant, a terrible guess came to mind.
"Dad, why did you suddenly come back with luggage?"
She stared at Butler Zhao with wide eyes, hoping that her father would not tell her what she was thinking.
But she was disappointed.
Butler Zhao turned his eyes away helplessly, picked up the cup on the table and drank water, pretending to be calm: "I left the Xiao family..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yue pulled his arm and it hurt.
Zhao Yue didn't notice that she had hurt him, her face full of panic and disbelief: "Dad, what do you mean by 'leaving the Xiao family'? Were you fired?"
Butler Zhao covered his arm, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yeah."
After getting the correct answer, Zhao Yue took two steps back and her calves hit the chair hard.
"Is it because of the poisoning? Wasn't it exposed? Wasn't Master Yu arrested? Why would Xiao Yun fire you? How could he possibly fire you?!"
Zhao Yue muttered to herself, her eyes filled with panic.
In her opinion, even if all the people in the Xiao family were fired, Xiao Yun would not take the initiative to fire her father.
Butler Zhao sighed, and his face seemed to have several more wrinkles in an instant.
"Yueyue, we think too much of ourselves. It's not that the Xiao family and the young master can't live without me, it's that I can't live without the Xiao family."
In fact, Xiao Yun no longer needed his care after he turned ten years old, and he is even less needed now.
Without Xiao Yun and the Xiao family, he would be nothing.
"But what should I do if you are not at the Xiao family!" Zhao Yue interrupted him angrily, ruffling her hair into a mess in frustration, feeling extremely depressed.
She and Xiao Yun were not in the same circle. J City was so big, if Xiao Yun didn't want to see her, they might have no intersection for the rest of their lives.
"Dad, can you go back? Otherwise, go and beg Xiao Yun. He should give you this face."
Zhao Yue grabbed his arm, her face full of hope: "Just think of it as being for me, Dad, you can't leave the Xiao family."
Butler Zhao looked at his daughter's crazy and pitiful face, and his heart turned cold.
"There's nothing I can do. I can't go back. You've known Xiao Yun for so many years, you should understand him. Once he makes a decision, it's impossible to change it easily."
"What should I do if you don't go back?" Zhao Yue roared in despair, tears streaming down her face. "You promised me that as long as I behaved well and didn't act rashly, you would help me drive Shen Lan out of the Xiao family and help me be with Xiao Yun. You promised me that. But now, Shen Lan wasn't kicked out, but you were..."
Zhao Yue's harsh words hit her throat, but when she saw her father's hurt look, she couldn't continue.
She sat down on the ground, her thin shoulders shaking constantly and making whimpering sounds like a little animal.
Butler Zhao was heartbroken when he heard this.
He stood there for a long time, until he felt a sharp pain in his knees, and then he finally spoke, but his voice was hoarse.
"Yueyue, do you really want to marry the young master so much? Even if it means enduring a lot of pain in the future?"
Zhao Yue suddenly looked up, her face full of tears: "I have said it before, if I don't marry Xiao Yun in this life, I will never be happy. As long as I can marry him and become his wife, I don't mind sacrificing everything!"
Hearing the words "sacrifice everything", Butler Zhao's body shook.
Does this “all” also include him as a father?
