Chapter 95: The Zhong Family in Trouble
Zhong Qiao picked up Wanwan, who was crying with her mouth pouting because of losing her sense of security, and her heart was broken with pain.
"It's all Mom's fault." Zhong Qiao kissed the child's tender face as if it were a treasure. "Mom should have come back sooner."
Mrs. Qian saw this heartwarming scene and consoled them: "Qiao Qiao, don't worry. Luckily, He Bai happened to be going home to get something when he saw them. He and his friend captured the girl."
Zhong Qiao came back to his senses: "Girl?"
Which girl?
While she was still thinking, Luo Xiu had already dragged Zhong Xiaohua in front of him.
"That's her." Luo Xiu stood with his arms folded. "She was sneaking around in broad daylight. We found no one at your house, so we detained her and asked her a few questions. She was hesitant and couldn't explain anything. It was obvious that something was wrong."
He caught a glimpse of Zhong Qiao out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.
"Are you Zhong Qiao?"
He still remembered her. Wasn't this the father and daughter who saved people in the hospital? She was actually Zhong Qiao?
Zhong Qiao glanced at him indifferently, then glanced at Ji Hebai beside her, and understood what she meant, but now was not a good time to explain, so she could only pretend not to hear and avoid the topic.
Zhong Xiaohua's lips trembled, and she quickly waved her hands to explain: "Sister Zhong Qiao, I didn't, please believe me, I really didn't, it's——"
The voice stopped abruptly, as if she thought of something. Zhong Xiaohua's face changed again and again, and she held back the next words.
She can't say!
If Sister Zhong Qiao and the others didn't catch my parents, wouldn't she be exposed by saying this?
"You're still saying no?" Luo Xiu said coldly, "If not, then what do you mean by lingering in front of the door and even wanting to take the child away?"
Zhong Xiaohua's face turned pale, and she looked at Zhong Qiao almost pleadingly, shaking her head helplessly: "Sister Zhong Qiao, I can't tell you, but you believe me, I really didn't intend to harm you."
"Alright." Zhong Qiao hugged Wanwan and interrupted the meaningless fight that was about to break out. "I know it wasn't you."
Zhong Xiaohua looked up in surprise.
"Your parents, right?" Zhong Qiao didn't try to be mysterious, but went straight to the point.
"I...I..." Zhong Xiaohua dodged her gaze and didn't dare to look into Zhong Qiao's eyes.
Zhong Qiao knew that she had no say at home and had no ability to interfere in this matter, so her tone softened a little.
"Even if you don't admit it, I know it. I can recognize your mother just by looking at her back."
Zhong Xiaohua knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she admitted, "Sister Zhong Qiao, my parents are possessed by evil spirits. Please be magnanimous and let them go this time."
Zhong Xiaohua was unsure whether to ask a mother who almost lost her child to forgive these culprits. But Zhong Hong and Zhong Wei were her biological parents after all. How could she let them go to jail?
"This has nothing to do with you, just go back." Zhong Qiao did not respond directly, but raised his hand lightly to see the guest off.
"Sister Zhong Qiao..." Zhong Xiaohua was deeply shocked. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes sad. She thought for a long time in her throat before she whispered softly, "I'm sorry."
It was her family that almost harmed Wanwan, and she owed it to Sister Zhong Qiao!
Zhong Xiaohua was asked to leave in a daze. Now, only Mrs. Qian and Ji Hebai were left.
Zhong Qiao spoke first to break the silence.
"Thank you." She looked at Ji Hebai with sincere eyes, "If you hadn't rescued me in time today, Wanwan would have been in trouble."
Luo Xiu's attention was completely not on these words. He leaned over to look in the direction of Wanwan. He wanted to see what this rumored "money-losing thing" looked like.
It is said that the daughter looks like her father, and maybe she can even see some of that man's shadow.
Luo Xiu glanced at Ji Hebai, whose jaw was set tight, and tried hard to suppress his smile.
This is not a child, this is a green hat, and it's his brother's green hat! It's so funny. I can see this scene in my life, or there is a melon about Ji Hebai, I will die without regrets!
Ji Hebai lowered his eyes and glanced at the child, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but soon, it turned into heartache.
"It was just a coincidence." He tried to keep his voice calm. "I ran into Luo Xiu while picking up her luggage. Anyone in this situation would help."
Zhong Qiao was impressed by his righteous words and couldn't help but look at him deeply.
At this moment, their eyes met, and the flash of lightning was intriguing.
Luo Xiu looked Zhong Qiao up and down, and said in admiration: "I never thought you were Zhong Qiao."
He originally thought that Zhong Qiao was an ugly and stupid woman who gave up a good and wealthy husband and eloped with someone else? Unexpectedly, these two meetings left a great impression on him, and also made him feel that Zhong Qiao was not as promiscuous as the rumors said.
Besides, she is not ugly.
Zhong Qiao smiled at him and said, "Doctor Luo, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope I didn't disturb you by writing to you earlier."
Luo Xiu was about to respond politely when he suddenly felt his whole body tremble, as if the air around him had dropped to zero degrees Celsius, and his back felt as hot as if someone was staring at him.
He looked back in panic, but only saw Ji Hebai with a gentle face.
Luo Xiu scratched his head, was he overthinking it?
"Oh, that?" Luo Xiu replied calmly, "I'm a doctor, so I'm naturally responsible for my patients. I treat everyone equally."
Zhong Qiao nodded gratefully: "Anyway, thank you for troubling me. Next time you have a chance, you can come to my house for a simple meal as a token of your gratitude."
Luo Xiu said nothing.
He was one of the few people who knew about the affairs between the Ji and Zhong families. To be honest, he didn't like Zhong Qiao very much. She was engaged, but she was entangled with a man outside, and she got pregnant and divorced.
If any of these things happened in an ordinary and innocent way, people would have been drowned in spit long ago.
She really doesn't meet the standards of a good wife and mother.
Rice? He wasn't happy about it. It was probably just some home-cooked dish of cabbage and tofu. He couldn't stand any meat at all, and it wasn't very tasty.
However, Ji Hebai beside him suddenly said, "The fifth day of next month."
"Huh?" Zhong Qiao didn't react for a moment.
Ji Hebai then repeated: "On the fifth day of next month, I'll come to your house for dinner."
Zhong Qiao realized it belatedly and nodded awkwardly.
She was used to the Chinese etiquette of arguing with each other, but this was the first time she had seen such a direct way of speaking. She had been thinking of arguing with each other, but it seemed that was not necessary.
As expected of someone who studied abroad, his way of speaking is different from those people.
Mrs. Qian stood aside. Perhaps because she was experienced, her intuition told her that something was wrong. Her eyes flickered between the two men, her brow furrowed, then gradually relaxed. Each of them had their own thoughts.
Until the sound of bursting cries came from outside the door, as well as the sound of an argument between a man and a woman, and the sound of Zhong's mother trying to comfort them, the sound spread throughout the entire compound.
"My little dragon! My little dragon! Why are you so unlucky?"
"How am I going to live without my son?"
