after accidentally becoming first lady

Qi Leran, whose eyes were blackened, fell backwards into a warm and familiar embrace.

"Kevin!" Qi Leran instinctively knew that the person hugging him was Sterman. The moment of unbelievable surprise caused two lines of tears to burst out of his already blurred eyes. As long as Sterman is fine, He is willing to pay any price!

Qi Leran turned around and buried her face in Sterman's arms, whispering softly over and over again, "It's great that you're fine, it's great that you're fine..."

Sterman hugged his almost collapsed lover in his arms, patted his back lightly with his hands, and whispered in his ear, "Baby, I'm fine, I'm right by your side, I'm fine..."

At this time, Annie, who had been hugged by the bodyguards, stared at Sterman and Qi Leran, who were hugging each other and comforting each other, with hatred shining in their eyes.

After learning that there was nothing wrong with Sterman, Qi Leran's spirit instantly improved a lot. He nestled in Sterman's arms in embarrassment, and secretly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face. Looking up, he saw There were sporadic dark red blood stains on the edge of the collar of Sterman's shirt, and he quickly reached out to check Sterman's shirt.

Sterman held Qi leran's hand to take off his shirt, and whispered to him, "I'm fine, it's Robert's blood."

"Robert's blood?" Qi Leran stood up straight with a blank face, looked at Sterman, and asked suspiciously, "What does this matter have to do with Robert?" It wasn't until Qi Leran, who returned to his senses, suddenly remembered why Anne would it's here.

Sterman raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, only then did Qi Leran notice that there was still a faint trace of dried blood on Sterman's livid cheeks that had not been completely wiped off.

"Today I went to the State Financial Supervision Bureau to attend a meeting. You know, Robert is working there," Sterman rubbed his brows, and said in a deep voice, "Annie probably knew from Robert that I was going to come here for a meeting today. So I insisted on pestering him to bring her to see me, because today is her birthday, and when they stopped me at the door, an attack happened, Robert he..." Sterman looked sideways at the operation Looking in the direction of the door of the room, a trace of suppressed pain and self-blame flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the door of the operating room had been opened, and several nurses pushed out a stretcher cart from inside. There was a person covered in white cloth lying on the cart. Qi Leran followed Sterman's line of sight and saw a buzz in his head.

He and Robert only met twice, once when he went home with Sterman to meet his parents, and once at his and Sterman's wedding, because the first time he went home with Sterman was unhappy Qi Leran knew that Anne and Bella had called Stormer many times to see him, but Stormer had always He refused on the grounds of being busy with work, so he didn't have any relationship with Robert.

But a living person around him died like this, which made it difficult for Qi Leran to accept for a while.

"What an unforgettable birthday gift!" Qi Leran heard Sterman's mocking voice, and he knew that it was Sterman's mockery of fate and self-mockery of his inability to change his destiny.

Qi leran knew that Sterman was in pain and blamed himself. If he hadn't deliberately ignored Annie because of her targeting him, or insisted on his own principles and didn't arrange Robert to work in the government department, then today's tragedy would not be occur.

In this way, it is not unreasonable for Anne to think that she killed Robert, but she ignored the root cause of all this is actually in herself. If she hadn't deliberately targeted herself and made that unpleasant incident Things come, then all these things will not exist now.

But people are like this, not to mention that Annie is a little girl who is only seven or eight years old, and even an adult, how many people can face their own mistakes and the tragic consequences of this mistake?Only by blaming others for all mistakes can I feel better.

Just as Qi Leran stared blankly at the stretcher bed carrying Robert's body slowly pushing past his eyes, out of the corner of his eye he saw Annie, who was being held by the bodyguard, staring blankly at the stretcher that was gradually going away. Just as the stretcher bed was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, there was a heart-piercing cry. While struggling to get out of the arms of the bodyguard, he stumbled and ran after the stretcher bed, shouting loudly. Shouting "Daddy, where are you going to get my daddy?!"

Under the signal of Sterman's eyes, several people who looked like bodyguards ran after Anne.

"Of course, I still have a lot of follow-up things to deal with," Sterman's voice pulled Qi Leran's gaze back, and Qi Leran noticed several men in suits and leather shoes standing at the door of the operating room, among whom he knew The director of the National Security Bureau and the head of the intelligence department, and a few people who are familiar but don't know what they are responsible for.

Qi Leran nodded. The attack on the president is a very serious matter. There are so many involved in it. The follow-up processing is complicated and must be timely. Sterman does have many things to deal with urgently.

"So, Robert's funeral can only be entrusted to you." Seeing that Qi Leran understood what he meant, Sterman continued.

"Go and do your work, and leave the matter here to me!" Qi Leran shook Sterman's hand with some distress, and said solemnly.

Sterman obviously just experienced an assassination, and even witnessed the death of his brother-in-law Robert, who had a good relationship with him. There is no energy to be sad, no time to be afraid, just like an emotionless robot to continue to work, Qi Leran feels extremely distressed just thinking about it.

But just now, on the way here and when he just thought that Sterman had an accident and left him, Qi Leran had realized too many things, understood too many things he didn't understand before, so he didn't have much What to say, just use actions to silently convey my distress and support.

There was no need to say anything between the two. Sterman naturally understood Qi Leran's mood. After shaking his hand with his backhand, he looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!" He walked over to the few people who were standing at the door of the operating room waiting for him without returning. For Sterman, instead of spending time and energy on pain and self-blame, it is better to use this time and energy to avenge Robert and Eliminate future hazards.

Looking at the firm back of Sterman, Qi Leran suddenly felt infinite courage in his heart, because just now he thought he had lost his lover Sterman, but fell into his familiar and warm place in pain and despair. When he was in his arms, Qi lelan suddenly had a sense of understanding. He once told Sterman that I will go wherever you go, and so does death.

You live, I live; you die, I die; no matter what, we are always together!

So far, Qi Leran has no more fear in his heart!He turned and strode in the direction Robert had been pushed from.

Bella, who sent someone to pick her up at home, after learning the whole story and seeing Robert's body, was beyond everyone's expectations. She didn't cry out heartbroken, but sat in Robert's room with a pale face and a dazed expression. Beside him, he was silent, like a living dead, making people even more worried.

Qi Leran consulted a doctor and knew that her situation was actually more dangerous. In addition, she was not stable before the accident and her mental state had just improved. On the doctor's suggestion, she was given a sedative injection, so that She fell asleep.

And Annie, who had just been crying for a long time and was already tired from crying, had already fallen asleep leaning on the back of the chair. After all, she was still young, and after going through such a thing, her energy had long been exhausted. .

Qi Leran asked people to carry the two of them into the car, took them back to the home of Sterman's parents in person, and told them about the matter. He will be busy with Robert's funeral in the next few days , Bella and Annie, and Ben, will be taken care of by Sterman's parents.

Sterman's parents are indeed people who have gone through a lot of storms. After the initial shock and pain, they quickly accepted the matter and said that they would come forward to appease Robert's family members, and asked Qi Leran and Sterman to pay attention After it was safe, he was let go.

Robert's father died early, and one of his elder sisters married to another city. Now there is only one mother who is not in good health and lives alone at home. Qi Leran has a headache when he thinks of telling his widowed mother the bad news of his departure. Fortunately, there is now Sterman's mother did it for him, which made him secretly relieved.

In fact, it is said that he is in charge of Robert's funeral, but as far as Qi Leran's current status is concerned, he doesn't need to do anything specific. Besides, Qi Leran doesn't know much about Western funerals, but the state of Bella and Annie got him involved Too much energy.

Since Bella's accident happened that day, she has been silent, not even eating or drinking, and just sat there blankly for a whole day. In fact, Qi Leran can fully understand her feelings. She just got better in the difficult days. When hope is raised again in the future, but encountering such bad luck is a blow that no one can bear, and for Bella, if she hadn't forced Sterman to arrange a job for Robert in the government department, then Robert would not have died , so the deep self-blame, remorse and despair of future life completely overwhelmed her.

Although Bella's situation is already very bad, compared to Bella, Qi Leran is still more worried about Annie. Annie has stopped crying, but every time Qi Leran appears in front of her, she will use those green His big eyes stared at him full of resentment. If eyes could kill, Qi Leran believed that he would have died hundreds of times already.

Of course, this is not what worries Qi Leran the most. After all, it has not been a day or two since Annie didn't like him. What worries Qi Leran the most is that he finds that Annie's eyes staring at Ben are getting more and more strange, which really confuses him .

But no matter what, Robert's funeral is being prepared quickly and methodically.

On the morning of the second morning when Sterman was attacked, the morning news reported that the president was attacked yesterday. Such a big event can be suppressed for a while, but it should not be suppressed for too long, otherwise it will be leaked from unofficial channels This news will greatly reduce the government's image of openness and transparency, and cause adverse effects.

The news reported the time and place where President Kevin Sterman was attacked, and also pointed out that President Kevin Sterman was not harmed in this incident, but a staff member of the National Financial Supervision Bureau was here It was his inadvertent actions that saved President Kevin Sterman's life. While reporting the news, Robert's photo flashed on the screen.

This incident has aroused great concern and indignation from the people of country h. In a peaceful age, the attack on the president is an extremely serious matter. It is a great challenge and contempt for the dignity of country h. Moreover, it is also a big deal to let such a bold murderer wander around. It is a great hidden danger to public safety. While rejoicing that the president is fine, the people also launched a petition asking the government to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

On the afternoon of the day when the report came out, an international terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the attack, and publicly criticized the same-sex marriage between Sterman and Qi Leran as an evil act against the will of God and should be punished by everyone. Spit and sanction, their actions are far from stopping.

When Qi Leran heard the news, he swears angrily on the spot, did God tell you about different marriages of the same sex?Which fucking onion are you!

Holding his breath and having nowhere to vent, Qi Leran could only put all his energy on Robert's funeral, making sure that he had a good time, which not only comforted the soul of the deceased, but also showed that he was not afraid at all.

However, when preparations for Robert's funeral were proceeding in an orderly manner, some strange remarks suddenly appeared on the Internet. Someone recognized the man who died in the presidential attack as Robert Gregg, and it was President Kevin Sterman Brother-in-law, and the reason why Robert Gregg was able to work in the National Financial Supervisory Bureau was because of the relationship between President Kevin Sterman!

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar on the Internet, and soon more detailed information about Robert Greg was dug up one by one. Many years ago, he made a big mistake in the venture capital company he worked for, and it was natural that he was almost sentenced It is also presented to the public.

In his situation, not to mention the State Financial Regulatory Bureau, it is impossible for any company related to the economy to hire him. President Kevin Sterman is obviously using power for personal gain!

The issue of corruption and dereliction of duty involving senior government officials has always been the most popular topic among journalists in charge of the political page, not to mention that the incident happened this time with the president himself, and it was based on indisputable facts. For a while, the major news media At the same time, they scrambled to report the news to show their dignity and integrity as a media person without fear of power.

The Independent Party, which was defeated in the presidential election not long ago, also stood up without hesitation at this time, publicly stating that in the face of such serious acts of using power for personal gain and harming public interests, it must be strictly eliminated and further investigations must be carried out , investigate the corresponding personnel involved, and deal with it seriously.

At the same time, in the interview, they also extended the matter, vaguely expressing that since Robert Gregg was shot and killed instead of the president in the presidential attack, whether there is any ulterior motive in it, for a while, all public opinion is Pointing to President Kevin Sterman who has just been attacked and lost his loved ones!

Although Qi leran did not agree with Sterman's arrangement of Robert to work in the government department at the beginning, he did not expect that this matter would cause an uproar in this form and bring such serious consequences.

For Sterman, the situation at this time can be said to be internal and external. Although Qi Lelan was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, there was no good way. After all, no one has a time shuttle to go back to the past change history.

In this depressing situation, Robert's funeral was held as scheduled.

There was a drizzle in the sky, as if it was specially sending off Robert, who had never done anything bad but had a rough life.

Wearing a black dress with an abnormally pale complexion, Bella, like a puppet without a soul, watched Robert's coffin sink into the ground little by little with the support of her friends. Sitting in the black car by the side of the cemetery Terman slowly rolled up the window and whispered, "Go back!" The car started and slowly left the cemetery.

Under the circumstances, it would be better for him not to appear at Robert's funeral, otherwise the reporters who were keeping in the dark would flock to him, breaking the tranquility of the funeral and disturbing Robert's lost soul.

Qi Leran held his hand tightly, turned her head and watched the cemetery gradually disappear from the view of the car window, tiny drops of water kept hitting the car window, rolling down, interweaving into a fine net, making Qi Leran I can't help feeling secretly in my heart, fate is like the thin net formed by the water droplets on the window, intertwined and complicated, I don't know which thin thread is moved, it will change the lives of countless people, but when I look carefully, there is no trace. Searching!

At the same time that Robert's funeral was held, the spokesperson of the government department held a press conference to give a public explanation on Robert Gregg's matter.

The spokesperson claimed that Robert Gregg is not an official staff member of the State Financial Supervision Bureau, but a temporary staff member hired from outside. His work does not involve any core content of the State Financial Supervision Bureau, and his salary is also paid by President Kevin Sterman is personally responsible for the payment.

At the press conference, the government spokesperson also presented the labor employment contract signed by Robert Gregg with the National Financial Supervision Bureau and the monthly bank statement of President Kevin Sterman's personal payment to Robert Gregg's salary.

Although the press conference proved that President Kevin Sterman did not violate any rules in the matter of Robert Gregg, some people who did not believe these explanations believed that he fabricated evidence to deceive the public, which triggered more intense remarks , Sterman's reputation has been more or less affected.

After learning all this, Qi leran curiously asked Sterman, is all this true?As a result, Sturman rubbed his hair with a wry smile and told him that all this was true, but Robert himself didn't know it.

It turned out that Sterman had already prepared for this, and Qi Leran couldn't help feeling secretly again. Politics is like walking a tightrope at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces!

On the third day after Robert's funeral, Qi leran got the news that the terrorist who attacked Sterman had been captured, which made Qi leran feel better.

In order to tell the good news to Robert's family, Qi Leran came to Sterman's parents' house again.

Sterman's beautiful and elegant mother was visibly haggard, and there were a few fine lines on the corners of her eyes after not seeing her for a few days, graying was already visible in old Mr. Sterman's dark golden hair. And the calm momentum can still make Qi Leran feel inexplicably at ease.

Sitting in the living room drinking coffee with Sterman's parents, Qi Leran told them the news that the terrorists had been arrested. The two old people had expressions of relief and sadness on their faces, and Qi Leran asked the resident with great concern. In the case of Bella, Anne and Ben here.

Sterman's mother sighed and said quietly, "Bella's condition is very bad. She doesn't eat or drink, doesn't talk or move, and just sits for a day. The two of us are already old, and we have to Taking care of Annie and Ben, I really don't have the energy to take care of her, we want to send her to a private nursing home, which should be much more thoughtful than the care she receives at home."

Qi Leran nodded, agreed, and said that this matter should be handled by him. For Bella's current situation, a private nursing home with good conditions is indeed more suitable for her than her home.

While Qi Leran was talking to Sterman's mother, there was a sound of a hard object falling to the ground upstairs. Sterman's mother quickly stood up and walked upstairs quickly. Qi Leran also He stood up and followed her upstairs.

The voice came from Annie and Ben's room. The two came to their room quickly, and when they opened the door, the scene in front of them scared them out of their wits at the same time!

Annie was crazily pinching Ben's neck and shaking it vigorously, and at the same time, she kept muttering things like "You all deserve to die, you all deserve to go to hell!", and Ben originally The rosy little face had turned blue-purple, and his hands and feet were struggling feebly.

"Annie, are you crazy! He's your younger brother! Let him go!" Sterman's mother quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Annie's hand that was pinching Ben's neck, but Annie seemed to be really crazy He tightly strangled Ben's neck, showing no intention of letting go.

Qi Leran, who was following behind Sterman's mother, was stunned by the situation in front of him, but when he saw that Sterman's mother couldn't break Annie's hand, which was crazy, and the face in Annie's hand became more and more ugly, Qi Leran felt in his heart A trace of anger suddenly rose, he stepped forward to Annie's body, raised his hand and gave Annie a slap in the face.

Qi Leran is an adult man, even though he didn't use much strength, Annie, a little girl, was staggered and fell backwards by his slap, and at the same time let go of Ben, who was pinched in her hand.

Qi Leran hurriedly supported Ben beside him to check his condition. Fortunately, Anne was also a child and didn't have so much strength. Ben, who was blue-faced, lay in Qi Leran's arms and coughed violently.

Qi Leran picked up Ben who was lying powerlessly on his body, strode out, and shouted loudly at the same time, "I'll take him to the hospital!" At this time, he already understood that Annie had been in the past few days after Robert's death. What happened to the abnormality of the sky? She blamed Qi Leran for Robert's death. However, when she saw that Sterman not only didn't blame Qi Leran at all, but was also very intimate, she finally put it in her heart. That distorted hatred was also put on Storman, who was "colluding" with Qi Leran, and Ben Tiantian, who was very similar to Storman, appeared in front of her every day, and finally drove her crazy, acting like this irrationally behavior.

Qi Leran took the book and did all the checks that could be done. Fortunately, except for the redness and swelling on the neck, there were no sequelae. At this time, Qi Leran felt that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat.

"Sister, why?" Ben uttered two words in a hoarse voice.

Qi Leran looked at the soft little Benjamin who was exactly the same as Sterman in his arms, fear and bewilderment appeared in those lake blue eyes, and his heart throbbed. He was still so young, probably Still can't understand the fact that his father has left him, and he has never had a father since then. Coupled with the silly mother and almost crazy sister, Qi Leran can't help but worry about little Benjamin's future.

"My sister is playing games with you!" Qi Leran couldn't tell him the truth about his sister being angered because he looked so much like Uncle Kevin, so he could only use words to explain it away. Fortunately, Ben was still young , belongs to the time when lies can still fool the past.

Shocked and afraid, Ben, who had been tossing in the hospital for a long time, slowly fell asleep in Qi Leran's arms, his fleshy little hands were still tightly clutching the shirt on Qi Leran's chest, and his long golden eyelashes would occasionally rush suddenly trembling, showing that he did not sleep soundly.

Looking at the cute little face in his arms that resembles Sterman, Qi Leran couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.
