Chapter 1259 Why Did He Insist on Taking You to That Kind of Place?
Chu Xue's face darkened after hearing this: "Where is the coworker who stopped you?"
Just as Xiao's father was about to yell at someone, he probably moved too much and aggravated the injury on his face, causing him to hiss in pain.
After a moment, he said somewhat incoherently, "That guy saw some coworkers coming over, so he slipped away first."
Did you tell the truth to the coworker who helped you?
"Well, I was too embarrassed to mention him. I only said that these people rushed out of the dark alley and were probably fugitives."
Did you report it to the police?
"No, I'm afraid it will implicate my involvement in underground casinos."
What's your coworker's name?
"What are you going to do? Those people are not easy to mess with. You're pregnant now, you can't do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, I know what's important. I'll have Fu Yancheng find someone to help you investigate those people, and then we'll decide how to deal with them."
“I will just make sure I don’t go out alone from now on. He won’t dare to openly look for me anymore, otherwise he wouldn’t have run away today when he saw his coworkers going to help him.”
Chu Xue asked again with a cold face, "What's the name of the coworker who harmed you?"
Seeing that he had no choice but to speak, Xiao's father said, "Xu Daming."
"Is that person in your work group?"
"right."
"Let's go home first. You need to clean up the wound on your face. Do you have any ointment at home?"
Mr. Xiao shook his head: "Probably not."
Chu Xue simply took him to a hospital not far from home and had someone treat his injury: "Doctor, please prescribe some medicine for him so he can apply it himself at home later."
As they left the hospital, Xiao's father kept his head down, occasionally stealing a glance at his daughter: "Chu Xue, I... I was wrong. I promise I'll never go to that kind of place with him again."
"Have you ever wondered why he insisted on taking you to a place like that?"
It took Mr. Xiao a long time to say, "I hadn't thought about it before, but after what happened today, I thought about it carefully. He probably thinks that I took the position of team leader."
First Snow nodded gently; "That's also possible."
When the two arrived home, Miao Yiqiu, who was collecting diapers in the yard, was startled by his appearance: "What happened?"
Mr. Xiao looked embarrassed: "Aunt Miao, don't worry, it was just a fight that started after he had a verbal argument with a coworker."
"Oh dear, you're such a grown-up, why are you still so impulsive? If your dad saw this, he'd definitely criticize you."
Thinking of the old man who was handling matters in the Hui area, Xiao's father felt a pang of guilt: "Aunt Miao, did the old man say when he would be back?"
Seeing his guilty look, Miao Yiqiu said, "It's only going to happen next week."
Xiao's father was thinking to himself that if his father wasn't better before he came back, he would stay in the team's tool shed for a few days, swap shifts with his coworkers, and rest together once his facial injuries had healed.
After he finished speaking, Miao Yiqiu looked at Chuxue and then thought of Xia Qiu: "Where's your sister? She went out with you, why didn't she come back with you?"
Chu Xue glanced at her older sister's room: "Where's Dongdong?"
Miao Yiqiu gestured with her chin towards Xiao's mother's room: "As soon as he woke up, he was taken to your mother's room. This kid is quite well-behaved; he didn't make a fuss after eating and just played by himself."
After saying that, he asked again, "It's almost lunchtime, where's your sister?"
Chu Xue stepped forward and whispered in Miao Yiqiu's ear, "I'm going to join the army. I used my job to get my sister a job in a textile factory."
Upon hearing this, Miao Yiqiu was stunned: "Have you discussed this with Yancheng?"
Chu Xue knew what her aunt was worried about: "Don't worry, it's not free. My sister will give me money every month until I pay off the depreciation from my job."
