Chapter 1286 - Never Failed Me (2/2)

He was never interested in politics. It was merely for Jing Ruyue’s sake that he had clung to the position of Secretary of State in Estan.

Although he had been involved in government affairs, he had always tried to be neutral, and stayed as far away as he could from Helian Wei.

In short, he would never harm Estan, nor would he dedicate himself to it.

Knowing that Helian Wei was seriously ill and the parties went into disputes, he remained an outsider.

But he never expected under such circ.u.mstances to see a person who had been dead for over a decade.

“What a surprise! What a surprise! I never thought I would see you alive again!”

Ouyang Qing escorted her to sit down on the couch and said, “I thought you died. How come you are here now? What happened?”

“I was not dead, but was kept imprisoned. It was not until recently that I managed to escape.”

Jing Ruyue made it brief.

Ouyang Qing did not ask anything further. It was already the best news that she had come back alive.

She seemed much slimmer than she used to be, but still as charming.

Speaking of the current situation in Estan, Jing Ruyue brought it up directly. “Brother Ouyang, I came to ask for your help. Please do help Helian Wei again. Help them get through the crisis. I will give whatever I have to pay back your kindness, even in my next life.”

Ouyang Qing sighed and frowned. “After all he has done, you are still pleading for him.”

He thought that Jing Ruyue was seriously the most stupid woman in the world. She had no control over her own future. Yet she was still thinking of that man.

“You misunderstand him. He never failed me. Please, do help him now. They are in jeopardy.”

Jing Ruyue kneeled down in front of him by the couch.

How could Ouyang Qing afford this? He rushed to lift her up. “Stand up, Little Yue, get up.”
