She raised her voice all of a sudden, "Shaoting would never do such a foolish thing!"

Bai Hongzhang was not sure, so he said, "Don't get emotional. This is just my guess. Probably Mr. Qiao feels that after Qin Yu's death, he will not be interested in politics and that's why he has the intention to resign. I think too much."

Old Mrs. Qiao's mind was in turmoil.

...

"Old Mrs. Qiao, are you feeling better?" Fang Liyuan handed over a glass of warm water and asked with a caring face.

She had come to see Old Mrs. Qiao to talk about Qin Yu, but she did not expect to see Old Mrs. Qiao standing there with a pale face and her whole body was shaking.

She immediately helped Old Mrs. Qiao to the sofa and asked the private doctor to come and check on her.

The private doctor said that Old Mrs. Qiao was too emotional and needed to calm down.

"Old Mrs. Qiao, what has happened to make you so agitated?" Fang Liyuan added.

Old Mrs. Qiao did not take the glass of water that Fang Liyuan handed her.

She said in a trembling voice, "Just now Bai Hongzhang called me. He guessed that Shaoting would die for love after Qin Yu's death, so that's why he has the intention to resign."

"Bang!"

The cup in Fang Liyuan's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

...

Half an hour later, Old Mrs. Qiao and Fang Liyuan found Qin Xiaorou together.

Old Mrs. Qiao thought for a long time and decided that it was better for Qin Xiaorou to have a talk with Qiao Shaoting.

After all, she was too emotional now.

She was afraid that if she went to talk to Qiao Shaoting, she would say something radical, which would make the situation even worse.

Qin Xiaorou had a gentle personality and was Qiao Shaoting's wife. It was impossible for Qiao Shaoting not to take Qin Xiaorou's words to heart.

After meeting Qin Xiaorou, Old Mrs. Qiao told her about Bai Hongzhang's guess.

Qin Xiaorou did not react too much, but merely bit her lip.

Bai Hongzhang's guess was the same as hers.

However, after she told Qiao Shaoting what she thought, it seemed that Qiao Shaoting did not mean it.

Qin Xiaorou felt that she had overthought it.

But now Bai Hongzhang also mentioned it, which made Qin Xiaorou worry a little more.

Had she not thought too much about it?

However, she first tried to comfort Old Mrs. Qiao.

After all, Old Mrs. Qiao was too old to stand all of these.

Qin Xiaorou said in a gentle voice, "Old Mrs. Qiao, Chief Bai said that it was only a guess. I believe Mr. Qiao would not do such a foolish thing. I believe he got downhearted due to Qin Yu's illness. He feels that he couldn't focus on the work and bear the responsibility, so he decided to resign."

"Old Mrs. Qiao, you must not think too much. Mr. Qiao is not a cowardly person. Such a thing as committing suicide would never happen to Mr. Qiao."

"..."

Hearing Qin Xiaorou's gentle words, Old Mrs. Qiao gradually returned to normal.

She let out a long sigh, "Xiaorou, I hope it is as you say, otherwise how can I bear watching my grandson die?"

Old Mrs. Qiao went away, but Fang Liyuan did not.

"Xiaorou, since Chief Bai says so, it can't be so simple!

She was muttering to Qin Xiaorou about the importance of the matter and let her persuade Qiao Shaoting.

"I think Shaoting will do such a foolish thing!" Fang Liyuan said and became furious, "You haven't come into contact with Qin Yu. You have no idea what a powerful woman she is! She looks innocent, but she's a total vamp!"
