Chapter 171
"What's going on?" Seeing Ji Hebai's heavy expression, Zhong Qiao hurriedly asked, "Have you found out what this medicine is?"
Ji Hebai said: "It's not clear at the moment. We only know that it's poisonous and it's a drug that is banned from sale in Hong Kong and abroad."
"There's a bit of a situation with Luo Xiu, but he's really angry right now. I've tried to find him several times, but he ignored me. We'll have to think about this matter carefully."
Zhong Qiao was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with him?"
Ji Hebai sighed and said, "He's just like that. He gets crazy at the slightest provocation. Don't bother with him."
Although he said that, Zhong Qiao knew very well that not only Luo Xiu, but the entire Ji family was not optimistic about their relationship.
Zhong Qiao suddenly asked: "Does your family know about what happened between us?"
Ji Hebai naturally knew what she was asking.
He was silent for a second: "I don't know, I haven't figured out how to confess yet."
Zhong Qiao looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"If being with me is so shameful, why do you still want to be with me?"
Ji Hebai was speechless. It was not that he was unwilling to tell his family about these things. He was a rebellious person at heart, otherwise he would not have ignored his family's opposition and given up medicine to join the army. What he was worried about was that the person hiding in the dark would attack the Zhong family.
"I'll do it as soon as possible." Ji Hebai said truthfully, "Believe me, I will find a suitable time."
Zhong Qiao sneered in her heart when she saw his appearance. For some reason, she suddenly thought of those people from the Xu family.
"I'm full. I'm leaving now." Zhong Qiao put down her chopsticks and turned to leave. Ji Hebai chased after her and grabbed her hand. "Are you angry?"
Zhong Qiao didn't look back, but said stubbornly: "Let go."
Ji Hebai looked at her without saying anything. However, after a while, he gently let go and said, "Go back and have a good rest. I'll come to see you next time."
Zhong Qiao sneered and really wanted to slap him, but in the end he held back and turned away.
After returning home, Zhong's mother was surprised to see her come back so quickly, and asked, "What happened? Did you have a fight with He Bai?"
Zhong Qiao sat down on the bench, drank a large bowl of water angrily, and then told her the whole story. When Zhong's mother heard it, she was furious.
"I thought Xiaoji was a good kid, but he's such a coward. He can't even come clean. Does he think he's having a mistress? How shameful!?"
"Our family can support you," Zhong's mother advised. "You should break up with him tomorrow. What's the point of having a man who can't take responsibility?"
Mr. Zhong, who was rarely resting at home, heard the noise from the two and came out wearing his coat: "What's going on?"
"Let mom tell you." Zhong Qiao felt aggrieved and turned to go into the house.
Mother Zhong confessed everything, only to have Father Zhong fly into a rage: "What? He's being treated unfairly by being with my daughter? This kid is being picky. No, we must separate. We don't want him!"
"That's right." Mother Zhong was indignant. "If our Qiao Qiao hadn't chosen the wrong person, she wouldn't be so bad, okay? The Ji family is so rich and powerful, but they're using my daughter as a joke. Tell him to get out of here!"
Ji Hebai, who had no idea that he had become a sinner, sneezed violently on his way home.
At the same time, there were several aunts who were eavesdropping. It was a rare occasion for them to come to visit Zhong Zhiwei's family, but they heard them arguing. It was really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. After listening again, they found that something was wrong. It seemed that they were talking about Zhong Qiao.
And there was also the matter of Ji Hebai. Did these two talk about it? The aunts were stunned when they heard this. Zhong Qiao was really capable. He had instigated the father-in-law to agree to divide the family, and now he had captured Ji Hebai. What merits and abilities did he have?
A few people were furious and were about to go in to talk, but unexpectedly they heard Zhong's father and others say that they had already split up, which was really great.
"Hey, what are you arguing about?" Cui Liu happily pushed the door open with Zhong Hua. "Long time no see. Let's come and listen to the fun."
When he saw them, Father Zhong wanted to roll his eyes to the sky. He didn't know what was going on, but they were like ghosts that wouldn't go away. Ever since the family split up, they kept coming to visit. In fact, they just wanted to see how their family was doing.
If there is anything wrong, they will laugh together. It is rare for them to hear anything about Ji Hebai, so they will definitely laugh along with him.
"Why are you here?" Zhong's father suppressed his anger. "You come to my house all day long. Do you have a lot of free time?"
Seeing him so angry, Cui Liu and Zhong Hua looked at each other and knew that this matter was probably true.
"Aren't we here to care about you? Besides, since the family split up, you have been too cruel. You have completely ignored the two elderly people in the family and left them to me and your brother." Cui Liu said this deliberately to anger Mother Zhong.
However, Zhong's mother had long known her tricks and sneered, "You send food and money to my parents every month, and you think that's neglecting them? I heard that last time my dad wanted to eat spare ribs, you refused to make them because you thought it was too much trouble."
Cui Liu blushed: "Dad is old and can't digest this kind of food. I did it for his own good. What do you know?"
Mother Zhong sneered: "That's better. You haven't told me why you came to our house yet?"
Cui Liu snorted: "I came here just to tell you that Dad is sick, and he's seriously ill. He wants to see you. If I wasn't afraid of making the old man sad, I wouldn't bother to come to you."
"Dad is sick?" Zhong's mother was shocked. "When I saw him a few days ago, he was fine. How could he be sick out of nowhere?"
"He's pissed off by some unfilial descendants," Zhong Hua chimed in, deliberately glancing in the direction of Zhong Qiao's bedroom. "Some people are so fickle, they've made Grandpa sick, and yet they still stay at his mother's house and eat all the food. How shameless!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Father Zhong shouted, "This is our family. It's not your turn to talk nonsense. If you keep arguing with me, get out of here."
Zhong Hua was startled.
It was the first time she saw Zhong Zhiwei so angry. In the past, he would just scold her a few times, but not be so sharp in his words.
She was a little scared for a moment: "Why are you so loud?"
The tone was a little weaker.
"I'll go check on Dad later." Mother Zhong said coldly, "You can leave now. If you don't leave, don't blame us for chasing you away."
"You are awesome." Even if Cui Liu was a fool, he could tell that something was wrong today. Zhong Zhiwei's family was like they had eaten dynamite. They immediately chose to run away with Zhong Hua, and did not forget to ridicule before leaving.
"Oh, the money you earn is amazing. Now you don't even take your brother and sister-in-law seriously. You don't care about the elders either. You only know how to bully the younger ones."
She is really slandering Zhong Zhiwei's family all the time.
