The next morning, Qi Guoqiang got up, washed, and had a simple breakfast as usual. He ignored Wu Qin's words and silently picked up his briefcase to go to work.
He grew up in a family compound and later joined the army, where he stayed for more than 20 years. He has lived in a military environment for half his life. Now he has changed his environment. Although he is a respected deputy director, he is not used to anything and is still in the adaptation period.
After Qi Guoqiang left, Qi Weidong came out to have breakfast. He looked pale and it was obvious that he had not slept much.
Wu Qin handed him the peeled eggs and said, "Weidong, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Mom didn't do those things."
Qi Weidong didn't say anything. He was not a child. What happened last night was still vivid in his mind. His father's words were like thunder in his ears, and his mother's panicked expression was really impressive.
Seeing that her son didn't take the egg, she put the egg on the table in front of him, served him a bowl of porridge, and said softly, "Weidong, no matter what you think, you must remember that no matter what I do, it is for you and for our family."
Qi Weidong raised his head and stared at Wu Qin. "Are you persecuting Grandpa for me?"
Wu Qin opened her mouth and wanted to say yes, but facing her son's eyes, she really couldn't say it.
Qi Weidong didn't understand. "Why are you doing this? Grandpa is being persecuted, and we will be implicated too. Even if we sever our ties in time, Dad's future will be ruined. I can't understand why you're doing this."
Wu Qin was also feeling very bitter. She was blinded by the thousand yuan at the time and didn't think about the consequences at all. She just thought that the old man didn't pay much attention to them anyway. Guoqiang could become the team leader because of his own ability, and he wouldn't be able to rely on the old man in the future. It would be better to exchange it for the thousand yuan.
The most important thing was that her eldest brother was gambling with someone outside and owed them five thousand yuan. If he couldn't pay it back, he would have his hands and feet chopped off. Her parents begged her crying, but she usually gave all her money to her parents' family and couldn't come up with five thousand yuan. So her parents introduced her to that man. As long as she put the things in the old man's study, she could get one thousand yuan.
After the old man was demoted, she slowly realized that something was fishy about her elder brother and she suspected that someone had deliberately set it up.
But she didn't have the courage to investigate, not even to ask her parents. She tried desperately to forget the incident, as if as long as she didn't mention it, it would never have happened.
Now that the old man and Qi Mo Nan knew that she was involved in that incident, they must have investigated behind the scenes. So how far did they investigate? To what extent did they investigate?
Her heart began to palpitate, and a sense of panic enveloped her, even her breathing became rapid.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Weidong's face suddenly became very ugly, as if she would faint at any time, and he was a little worried.
Qi Weidong's voice pulled Wu Qin's thoughts away. She covered her chest and gasped, "It's okay, I'm just sick. I just need to rest for a while."
Qi Weidong knew Wu Qin had a heart condition, so he quickly poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water and rest for a while."
Wu Qin felt a little relieved when she saw how thoughtful her son was. She drank some water and was about to speak when someone suddenly slammed the gate outside.
The voice of the eldest brother Wu Yong came from outside, "Xiaoqin, open the door quickly, it's me, open the door quickly."
Qi Weidong frowned, "Uncle, why are you here at this time?"
Qi Weidong doesn't like this uncle. He has been idle all his life, never working hard even when he has a job. He works for three days and rests for two days, and is lazy. But he likes to act like an elder in front of Qi Weidong, and always asks him to remember to respect his uncle when he makes money in the future. It's so annoying.
Wu Qin pushed Qi Weidong and said, "Hurry up and open the door. It must be something important. Could something have happened to your grandparents?"
Qi Weidong reluctantly opened the door. When the door opened, Wu Yong saw that it was Qi Weidong and frowned, "Why are you here? Where is your mother?"
