"You jinx! Your daughter is sick, and it's all your fault!"
"Don't call me. The Zhao family doesn't want worthless trash!"
"Are you crazy to ask me for money...?"
Faced with all sorts of unpleasant words on the other end of the phone, Zhou Ling could no longer bear it and chose to hang up.
Old Mrs. Zhao's attitude remained as bad as ever, especially towards her. She didn't treat her like a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family at all, but rather like an enemy.
Zhou Ling was truly desperate and had nowhere else to turn, which is why she thought of contacting Grandma Zhao, hoping that Grandma Zhao would be willing to give her money because Xiao Ya was her own granddaughter. However, as it turned out, she was overthinking it.
Grandma Zhao didn't care whether Zhao Xiaoya lived or died.
Having been rebuffed by Old Mrs. Zhao, Zhou Ling had no choice but to give up and think of another way. Looking at her phone contacts, which only had a pitiful few names, she gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then braced herself and made the call.
Five minutes passed.
Zhou Ling put down her phone with a look of disappointment. As expected, no one was willing to help her. Some even hung up and blocked her as soon as they heard her asking for money.
Even worse, they said she deserved it and was punished, bringing up her past actions of spreading rumors about Zhou Chen and ruining his business.
After being met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks, Zhou Ling gave up the idea of borrowing money from the people in her phone book.
"Wow..."
Zhao Xiaoya started crying again, which made Zhou Ling's already upset emotions reach their peak, and then she shed tears of grievance.
"For you, I gritted my teeth and bowed my head to Zhou Chen."
"I've tried everything I can. Do you think I don't want to save you?"
"Mom has done everything she could for you, what more do you want from me?"
The mother and son stood there, crying, one sobbing and the other expressing her grievances, tears streaming down their faces.
Until ten minutes later,
Everyone quieted down. Zhao Xiaoya stopped crying and fell asleep. Zhou Ling was thinking that she should give her daughter Zhao Xiaoya away. If she was lucky, a kind and rich person might take her in and perhaps they could pay for her medical treatment. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the surgery.
no!
Zhao Xiaoya is her daughter; how could she give her daughter away?
Even when Zhao Kun gets out of prison, he won't agree.
But what can she do if she doesn't give it away?
She begged everyone she could, but no one could help her, not even her closest blood relative, her second sister, who refused to help her in her time of need.
She was completely desperate.
That night
Zhou Ling tossed and turned, barely sleeping.
Finally, she made up her mind and made a decision.
"Have someone call Uncle Hat immediately through the phone booth and tell him that someone is abandoning a baby."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
"If necessary, have your men keep an eye on her and prevent her from escaping."
"clear."
When I received another call from Li San, I was truly surprised. I never expected that Zhou Ling would even abandon her daughter. She was really ruthless.
Zhou Ling was clever; she abandoned Zhao Xiaoya and took a taxi to a wealthy neighborhood in Yanjing.
It's obvious they're trying to lure a rich guy into taking Zhao Xiaoya away.
If she's lucky, the other person might like Zhao Xiaoya and even treat her illness.
Zhou Chen immediately guessed what Zhou Ling was up to.
It must be said, this move was truly brilliant.
Zhou Ling, with that pig brain, must have racked her brains to come up with this idea.
Now that Zhou Chen knows about this, how could he let Zhou Ling achieve her goal? He must let Zhou Ling know that abandoning a baby is out of the question.
With Uncle Hat involved, this hot potato has to be put in your hands.
Near the trash cans at the entrance of a high-end residential community,
Zhou Ling hid under a tree, her eyes fixed on the trash can in front of her. She had left her daughter, Zhao Xiaoya, there, but naturally didn't leave immediately. She wanted to confirm that the child had been picked up by a wealthy person. Not only that, she also wanted to remember the person's appearance so that she could reunite with her child in the future.
"Little girl, I'm so sorry, but I have no other choice. This is the only way to save you."
"Please don't blame your mother."
"You'll definitely be lucky and get picked up by a rich family. You have to be cute and adorable so they'll like you at first sight. Then you'll be able to survive."
Zhou Ling silently spoke to her daughter, who was not far away, and prayed for her daughter to meet a kind and wealthy man.
Beggars, sanitation workers, and garbage collectors, all of you, get lost!
Ten minutes passed,
Zhou Ling was annoyed to find that not a single person had passed by the trash can in all this time. Were all these rich people so busy?
The child was crying so loudly, and no one came to check on him?
Zhou Ling felt heartbroken listening to her daughter Zhao Xiaoya's cries, but she knew that feeling sorry for her was useless; she had to wait for a wealthy man who would care for her.
It would be even better if the other party had no children.
They will definitely treat Zhao Xiaoya as their own daughter, and she may even inherit her family's assets in the future. At that time, she, as the mother, will be able to benefit from it.
Thinking of this,
Zhou Ling couldn't help but feel a little excited, so she immediately changed her prayer, hoping that a wealthy man without children would pass by and take her lovely daughter away.
"God, please, please grant my wish."
"I would trade Zhou Chen's entire life's wealth for this wish."
“If that’s not enough, you can take away his health, take away his life, I don’t care.”
"Hello!"
Just as Zhou Ling was muttering to herself, a sudden voice came from behind her, startling her. She instinctively turned around and was about to start cursing.
But before she could speak, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
Because the person in front of me is Uncle Hat.
"Someone has reported you for abandoning a baby, which constitutes the crime of abandonment. Please come with us."
After showing his ID, the man in the hat restrained Zhou Ling, while another man in the hat quickly ran to the trash can and picked up Zhao Xiaoya, who was still in swaddling clothes.
"I...I didn't, you've misunderstood!"
“I just left my daughter there; I was actually playing with her.”
“Ms. Zhou, do you think we’ll believe that? If I remember correctly, the Mr. Zhou you spread rumors about yesterday was to borrow money from him for your daughter’s medical treatment. So, I have reason to suspect that you deliberately abandoned the baby.”
"I……"
Upon realizing that she had been recognized, Zhou Ling opened her mouth, but immediately insisted that she had not broken the law and had no intention of abandoning her daughter.
Standing across the street, Li San witnessed Zhou Ling being taken away by Uncle Hat. He picked up the phone again and reported to Zhou Chen.
"I see!"
Zhou Chen smiled and put down his phone, then looked at Tang Wu and said, "Old Tang, come with me to the police station."
Watching from the sidelines is no fun; he wanted to see Zhou Ling make a fool of herself up close.
If he's not mistaken, Zhou Na will most likely be called to the police station as well.
