Chu Qi realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes filled with fear.
She didn't want to go to jail for leaking state secrets!
The old chief's wife sat down on the sofa, wanting to explain for Chu Qi but unable to find the words.
Words can be dangerous, and someone must take responsibility for what happened today.
If it wasn't Chu Qi, then it would most likely be the old chief.
The old chief's wife must have a soft spot for Chu Qi; only when the old chief is safe and sound can the family be protected.
However, this would seem too heartless. As the first child of the third generation of the family, Chu Qi was deeply loved, and the old chief's wife couldn't bring herself to be cruel to her.
The old commander's comrades exchanged glances and quickly made a decision: out of consideration for past favors, they did not intend to push him to the brink.
One of them spoke up: "It's impossible to pretend nothing happened today, but..."
"I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time! I promise I won't do it again!" Chu Qi interrupted, pleading repeatedly.
She was really scared.
In the past, I would think of my parents' glory as a shield, which gave me a lot of confidence.
However, even my grandfather would be severely punished for allegedly leaking state secrets, let alone her.
The old commander's comrades all wore stiff expressions and ignored him.
"For the sake of our former leader, we will not report this matter to the relevant authorities!"
Chu Qi breathed a huge sigh of relief. That's good, she didn't want to go to jail!
"However, we will inform the old commander and leave the decision to him personally!"
Chu Qi and the old chief's wife suddenly gasped for breath and looked at each other.
The old commander was upright and incorruptible. If Chu Qi heard about this from his comrades, he would definitely be in deep trouble.
Chu Qi burst into tears, and the old chief's wife, who had always doted on her, felt utterly disgusted for the first time upon hearing this sound.
Chu Qi has brought trouble to the entire family!
The old commander's comrades-in-arms did not want to stay any longer and got up to say goodbye.
The nanny saw the guests off and returned to find the atmosphere between them unusually tense. Although she didn't know what had happened, she prepared to ask a few questions.
The old chief's wife suddenly stood up and reached out to stop her.
"Aunt Jiang, help me back to my bedroom to rest... Ouch, my heart is hurting terribly!"
"Are you alright, ma'am? I'll call the doctor right away!"
The nanny rushed to the old chief's wife's side, while Chu Qi, still in shock, sat there dumbfounded.
The nanny, disregarding her status, urgently called out to Chu Qi, "Miss, please help me quickly, call the doctor!"
How could she be such a silly granddaughter? The old lady is about to pass away!
"Grandma, what's wrong?!" Chu Qi suddenly realized what was happening. Ignoring the nanny's words, she hurriedly walked towards the old chief's wife.
"You're not allowed to come any closer!"
Just as the old chief's wife was about to collapse, she suddenly stood up and yelled at Chu Qi.
"Get out of this house right now! I never want to see you again!"
Chu Qi stood there, stunned.
The old chief's wife patted the nanny's arm, saying she needed to go back to her room to take her medicine and calm down. If she saw Chu Qi's face again, she would be able to swallow her anger immediately!
Chu Qi chased after her to the stairs, desperately explaining, "Grandma, I really didn't mean it. It's all because Chang Xingwang is so infuriating. Ever since he went to the research institute, I haven't had a single peaceful day..."
"Shut up!"
The old chief's wife pressed down hard on the nanny's hand and forced herself to turn around.
"You're not the kind of person who can slander Xiao Chang!"
After saying that, the nanny quickly helped the old chief's wife upstairs. This time she could see that the old chief's wife was in such a bad state that she couldn't bear to see Chu Qi's face.
"grandmother……"
Chu Qi murmured to herself and fell onto the sofa.
It wasn't until the sound of a car horn outside the door that Chu Qi finally snapped out of her daze.
When Director Ma came to pick someone up after get off work, he was taken aback to find only Chu Qi on the first floor.
What's the matter?
He asked Chu Qi in a low voice, but Chu Qi seemed out of sorts, unable to answer clearly, or perhaps she was too scared.
Fear?
What is there to be afraid of at the old leader's house?
The old chief's wife had taken some sleeping pills upstairs and calmed down. Just as she was about to get a good night's sleep, she was startled by the noise downstairs, which gave her a splitting headache. So she ordered the nanny to come downstairs and chase the people away.
After the nanny relayed the old chief's wife's instructions, Director Ma became even more confused.
The two got into the car, and Director Ma asked with a serious expression, "Chu Qi, did you say something wrong that made Grandma angry?"
Otherwise, why would the wife of the former chief, who always doted on Chu Qi, refuse to see him for even a moment, and then immediately send someone to deliver an order to leave?
Chu Qi shook her head violently, stammering, "...I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't do anything wrong, he's the only one who's wrong!"
Director Ma frowned deeply; clearly, Chu Qi had caused another major disturbance without his knowledge!
Director Ma immediately lost his temper: "Chu Qi, if you don't explain yourself clearly, nobody's going home today!"
Chu Qi grabbed Director Ma's clothes: "...I leaked state secrets! I told my grandfather's comrade about Chang Xingwang's $20,000! Old Ma! We're finished!"
After hearing this, Director Ma almost suffered a heart attack and died.
"Chu Qi! You're insane! I think you've had your fill of a good life!"
Chu Qi made such a big mistake today that she finally dared not talk back.
"Then, what should we do... They showed mercy and only planned to tell Grandpa, to let him handle it. You know Grandpa, that kind of person..."
We never hesitate to put righteousness before family; the closer someone is to us, the more severely they must be punished for their mistakes!
Director Ma frantically pressed his temples, saying, "If anything happens, it's our fault!"
Why didn't you do this sooner!
"Old Ma, are you alright? You can't fall down because of this. It's all my fault!" Chu Qi said in a distressed voice.
Director Ma pushed her away forcefully and pulled out a nitroglycerin pill with trembling hands.
Eat a few.
Some color returned to her face.
Immediately, his fist slammed heavily on the steering wheel, the car emitted a sharp horn sound, and Chu Qi screamed in fright.
Director Ma was filled with resentment. If he had known this day would come, why would he have returned the house to Chang Xingwang directly?
His revenge plan had barely begun when this idiot ruined it!
divorce……
These words almost slipped out, but Director Ma forcibly controlled his reason; he couldn't leave yet!
Chu Qi is not only the old chief's granddaughter, but also the mother of his daughter.
With these mixed emotions, Director Ma drove home.
Upon entering the house, a short while later, the old commander, whom I had learned about from his comrades, called.
Chu Qi was terrified and dared not answer the phone. Upon hearing the old commander's voice on the other end, she ran away, leaving Director Ma to bear the old commander's wrath alone.
The room fell silent, and Chu Qi tiptoed back.
What did Grandpa say?
"The old leader said that given our circumstances, it's no longer suitable for us to stay and work at the research institute!"
