Qiu Zean insults Song Chunwei:
"Taller, thinner, fairer-skinned, better-looking—tell me, what's left?"
Song Chunwei muttered to himself:
"I refuse to believe I can't find a woman who isn't superficial..."
As soon as the two left, Zhao Feifei collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's over, everything's over now."
If her father found out that she had run away from home and was forcing her brother Ze'an to marry her, he would definitely break her legs.
Brother Ze'an said he would conduct a self-investigation, so, wouldn't he soon be asking her, asking her family?
Zhao Feifei was completely flustered. She scrambled to her feet and urged the receptionist:
"The phone, give me the phone right now, I need to call Aunt Zhou."
The receptionist, who had also overheard Qiu Ze'an's words, didn't quite believe what Zhao Feifei had said earlier. She asked gloatingly:
"Sister Feifei, what did Battalion Commander Qiu mean just now? Why won't he admit that he's engaged to you? What exactly is your relationship?"
Zhao Feifei was extremely anxious and had no time to pay attention to the receptionist, so she shoved the receptionist.
"Are you deaf? Do you even know who my father is? If you don't call me right now, I'll have him fire you!"
When Zhao Feifei arrived, she couldn't wait to introduce her entire family. Everyone knew what her father did for a living.
Although Zhao's father couldn't interfere here, the young receptionist didn't dare to offend her. She gave Zhao Feifei her seat, allowing her to go inside and make a phone call.
Zhao Feifei, her hands trembling, dialed the Qiu family's number:
"Aunt Zhou, come here quickly, Brother Ze'an is back, and he doesn't acknowledge the engagement at all."
Aunt Zhou was so angry she wanted to slam the phone down. She had gone to great lengths to find out that Qiu Ze'an was on a mission and needed time.
Just to buy Zhao Feifei time and let her prepare in advance, thinking that once Qiu Ze'an returned, everything would be settled, and he would have no choice but to admit it.
As for Zhao Feifei, what's the difference between her and a good-for-nothing? She managed to mess up such a great start.
"If it weren't for Zhao's father's sake!" Aunt Zhou wanted to curse.
Aunt Zhou suppressed her anger and comforted Zhao Feifei:
“Feifei, you two have conflicting accounts of this matter, so you don’t need to be too afraid that Qiu Zean won’t admit it.”
"As a girl, you are inherently vulnerable. People naturally sympathize with the weak. As long as you insist that you two are engaged, Qiu Ze'an can't do anything about it!"
Zhao Feifei's voice trembled with tears:
“I did exactly as you said, and I never admitted to framing you, but Brother Ze’an said he wanted to have the leaders conduct an internal investigation.”
Aunt Zhou, breathing rapidly, shouted:
"How could you agree to him conducting a self-investigation? Now that he's conducting a self-investigation, not to mention anyone else, even your dad won't help you, do you understand that?!"
"You must go and beg him immediately; you have to stop him from investigating on his own!"
Zhao Feifei was completely bewildered.
"I don't want him to investigate himself either, but he won't listen to me, what can I do? I begged him, but he wasn't soft-hearted at all. How can Brother Ze'an be so heartless..."
Aunt Zhou didn't want to listen to her nonsense and continued to give her advice:
"Feifei, don't talk about that now. Do you remember the trick Aunt Zhou told you back then? Try to use that first."
At this point, the call needed to be transferred, and it wasn't convenient for the two of them to talk on the phone. Aunt Zhou couldn't directly express her idea.
