Especially the gloomy sky above our heads did not seem to clear up with the news of Xie Jiang's death!
At the foot of the mountain, all Zhao Dong's people were waiting outside the car.
As the group of people descended the mountain, the convoy split into two sides.
On one side, they protected Xie Shan and her sister-in-law back to Xie's house, while on the other side, they protected Sophie and went straight to another place.
Half an hour later, the motorcade stopped outside a Chinese-style courtyard.
The courtyard looks a bit old, a bit like a courtyard house in the old north, but it is located in the center of Tiandu where land is at a premium.
Standing outside the courtyard, you can vaguely see the towering ancient trees in the courtyard.
The antique blue high wall forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding high-rise buildings!
Directly above the gate of the courtyard, there is a plaque hanging with only the word "Chen" written on it!
Although there is only one word, it has an invisible majesty and aura that makes people dare not make mistakes easily!
As the car door opened, Zhao Dong and Sophie got out of the car one after another.
Sophie was the first to raise her head and look at the mansion in front of her!
Chen Qingfeng has an ordinary name.
On the way, Zhao Dong said something about the reason behind this name!
As an ordinary person, after hearing about those legends, standing under this plaque at this moment would inevitably feel a little stressful.
But Sophie's face showed no emotion at all!
Because it was the owner of this mansion who sent the invitation, asking her to come and meet him after the Xie family's funeral.
Sophie didn't know what Mr. Chen was going to say.
But she had an intuition that what the other party was going to say should be related to her, maybe about her mother, or about the Wu family.
Sophie didn't know much about the Wu family, and she knew very little about her grandfather's name.
Sophie had a hunch that the other party would tell her something she wanted to know!
As for whether the other party will tell? What are the conditions and risks of telling these truths?
It's not that Sophie hasn't considered it, but at this moment, she has no way out!
In fact, on the way here just now, Sophie looked out the car window and asked herself over and over again, what does she think of Zhao Dong now? What does Zhao Dong think of her?
Zhao Dong has her in his heart, that's for sure.
What about Zhao Dong? She will only love him for the rest of her life, and there will be no one else in her heart!
But everything they had experienced since their marriage, every single thing, every person or thing, they all told Sophie over and over again.
If you want to stay with Zhao Dong for a lifetime, it is not enough to just have a heart that loves each other!
The Su family's affairs, the Wu family's affairs, the Xie family's affairs, and the Zhao family's people gradually pushed the two of them to a higher place!
Tian Qiuyu, Zhu Jing, Xie Jiang, Qi Sihai, these people appeared one after another, and they all told Sophie with their practical actions.
As Zhao Dong becomes more outstanding, the capital and confidence she was proud of before are no longer enough!
Until the moment I saw Chu Wei today, this feeling reached its peak!
Sophie saw Chu Wei's excellence.
In terms of appearance, she is no weaker than her, even with the blessing of that body of glory.
The dazzling light can almost eclipse her!
More than feelings, she and her husband know each other well, have a life-changing friendship, and have shared life and death for several years.
In terms of family background, not to mention the two major families behind Chu Wei, her own glory alone is enough for Sophie to surpass in her lifetime!
Sophie even suspected that if it weren't for some mistake, if she hadn't appeared beside Zhao Dong when he was at his lowest.
Is there any possibility between the two of them?
Such a woman has almost no flaws, she is so perfect!
In the past, Sophie would never have wanted to regard her as a rival.
But now, does she have any choice?
If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance.
She can't retreat, and she can't retreat. In front of Zhao Dong's brothers, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she will accompany Zhao Dong to go through it!
But courage alone is not enough in this matter. Sophie is confident that she can see through everything with her skill and wit.
Although she is confident that she can turn the tide with her wits.
But how much risk do you have to take? How much pressure do you have to bear?
Facing Kuang Weiting's conspiracy, she was powerless to reverse it!
Faced with her husband's despair, she was unable to help!
I can only watch my husband fall into the abyss step by step. To put it bluntly, in the face of powerful power and the absolute disparity in power, any method is just self-deception!
It was also today that Sophie felt helpless and insignificant for the first time!
Although no one deliberately compared her with Chu Wei, her frustration was still very obvious!
This is the first time Sophie longs for power, not for self-protection, but also for Zhao Dong!
She doesn't want Zhao Dong to protect her every time she encounters trouble!
I don’t want Zhao Dong to stand in front of me every time I meet a big shot!
But Sophie also knew that the Su family could not give her much support.
Even with the full support of the Su family, her current capital is not enough to stand out in front of those big shots!
The only way to do all this is to take over everything that my mother left behind!
If it is true as outsiders say, if my mother was really so dazzling back then!
Sophie didn't believe that with her mother's methods, she would leave no escape route for herself!
But if you want to get to know everything about that year, you must investigate the truth about the car accident that year!
Thinking about this, Sophie looked at Chen Mansion with a sharper look, and her back slowly straightened!
Xiong Chen and Sheng Luan were standing not far away. As Sophie's aura changed at this moment, they both noticed something, but they couldn't explain the details.
Zhao Dong, who was standing next to Sophie, felt the most obvious.
At that moment, he even had the illusion that Sophie had become a stranger.
The indescribable sense of distance seemed to take Sophie away from him!
Zhao Dong immediately stretched out his hand and tried to hold Sophie back!
As a result, at the moment when the two palms were about to touch, Sophie took a step to the side as if she had expected it, and then shook Zhao Dong's palm away on the spot!
Following Sophie's movements, the scene suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to be still!
Zhao Dong wanted to say something more, but when he met Sophie's eyes, everything he wanted to say was blocked!
After calming down, Zhao Dong still insisted: "I will accompany you."
Sophie bit her lip and said, "Zhao Dong, I know you care about me, and I also know you feel sorry for me."
"As I said before, what I need now is not your protection, but an independent space."
"I don't want to be a flower in the greenhouse. I don't want to be able to do anything to help you except shouting and blocking you the next time you face this situation!"
"I know you don't care, but I do!"
"I know you don't need it, but I do!"
"I want to prove to everyone that I, Sophie, am worthy of you, Zhao Dong, that I am qualified to stand by your side, and that I am worthy of your efforts."
"I hope that the next time someone plots against you, they will treat me as a fear!"
