The guard narrowed his cold, hard eyes slightly, as if scrutinizing Su Qingjiao's face to see if she was telling the truth.
She's been talking about the Zhou Group all day, and she's still emphasizing how much the Zhou Group's heir loves her.
Her expression was so serious, it didn't seem fake.
It was at least much more sincere than it was in the afternoon.
Locals in Luzhou all know that you can survive if you offend either the underworld or the legitimate world, but you can't get away with offending the Zhou family, no matter if you have connections in either.
That's the Zhou family, a family that inspires fear and trepidation!
Did they really bring back the future young mistress of the Zhou family? The guard's facial muscles twitched involuntarily at the thought.
No, this is a serious matter; we have to find out the truth.
The guard threatened gruffly, "You'd better tell the truth this time, or I have many more ways to torture you."
Seeing Su Qingjiao hurriedly nod and swear, the guard hesitated and called Zhang Qiang to ask about the woman's identity.
Zhang Qiang fell silent, which was uncharacteristic of him.
He only snapped back to reality when the other side called his name again, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Could Su Qingjiao really be Zhou Yi's fiancée?
At school, all he knew was that Zhou Yi was pursuing Su Qingjiao, and their relationship was ambiguous, but they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend!
If it's really as Su Qingjiao said, that Zhou Yi loves her to the core and is willing to give her anything, then if Zhou Yi knew afterwards how he treated Su Qingjiao, he would probably suffer a more tragic fate than Su Qingjiao.
"I... I'm not too sure either. This woman was very aloof at school. She impersonated the heir of the Zhou Group, but she never publicly acknowledged her relationship with Young Master Zhou."
"Here's what we'll do. You take that woman and call Young Master Zhou to see if there's any room for negotiation."
"Don't hang up yet, let me listen too."
Zhang Qiang was extremely anxious at the hospital, wishing he could be discharged immediately and go to Zhou Shao's house to apologize.
The more I think about the past, the more I feel that Zhou Yi really loves Su Qingjiao deeply...
He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if disaster was imminent.
The guard took Su Qingjiao's phone, asked for the password, and then dialed Zhou Yi's phone number.
Upon hearing the call connected, the guard's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to speak, the other end gave a "beep beep" sound indicating the call was rejected.
Hit again!
The call was disconnected again!
The guard stared at Su Qingjiao with a grim expression, somewhat doubting the authenticity of the phone call.
"He didn't answer the phone. If you really are the apple of Zhou Shao's eye in the Zhou Group, how could he not answer your calls after you've been missing for so long?!"
Despite her swollen and painful face, Su Qingjiao anxiously tried to explain: "It's such a big company with so many businesses under his name. He's very busy. If you call a few more times, he'll answer when he sees it."
Still somewhat skeptical, I dialed the number again. This time it rang for quite a while before someone finally answered.
The guard relaxed, fearing the call would be disconnected again, and was about to speak—
Unexpectedly, Su Qingjiao shouted desperately:
"Zhou Yi, help!"
"Waaaaah, please save me!"
A cold and ruthless voice came from the phone, effectively sentencing Su Qingjia to death.
"ill!"
After saying those two words, Zhou Yi hung up the phone again and blocked the number.
The people inside the house stared blankly, their eyes glazing over.
Is this the person Zhou Shao cherishes most?
Su Qingjiao seemed not to hear Zhou Yi hang up the phone. She continued to scream into the phone like a madwoman: "Zhou Yi, something really happened to me! I've been kidnapped! Waaaaah, please come and save me! I'm not angry with you anymore! I really forgive you!"
"Please come and save me!"
Hearing Su Qingjiao's hysterical screams, and with the guard's other phone still connected, Zhang Qiang was keeping a close eye on what was happening.
The word 'sick' sounds so beautiful and pleasant.
It instantly pulled him from hell to heaven.
Zhang Qiang burst into laughter, the tension in his heart suddenly dissipated, and the sense of crisis that felt like thorns in his back vanished.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"The person you cherish most is not as good as a scammer."
As he laughed, Zhang Qiang's voice gradually turned sinister, filled with gritted teeth and hatred: "Su Qingjiao, you're a habitual liar, how dare you lie to me again."
Before hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiang naturally gave Su Qingjiao a good talking-to, making sure she learned her lesson and never lied to anyone again.
The guard nodded, his face ashen.
Even if Zhang Qiang hadn't said anything, he would still have taught Su Qingjiao a lesson for daring to lie to him about this.
After ending the call, the guard's tall figure approached Su Qingjiao, casting a shadow over the petite and huddled Su Qingjiao.
"I'm not lying to you, I really am—ah!!"
Su Qingjiao tried to argue, but no one believed her anymore.
The night was long, and Su Qingjiao's misery had only just begun.
At this moment, Su's mother is in a much better situation than Su Qingjiao.
"Hey, you surnamed Su, get out here right now! Your break time is long over, and you're still not working. Do you want to have your wages docked again?"
"Or do you not want to work here anymore and want to leave immediately?"
Butler Cao's shrill voice pierced through the iron gate, sounding to Su's mother like a demon waving a whip with bared teeth and claws.
It seemed as if he was about to rush in and beat her to a pulp the moment the door opened.
Su's mother put down the lunchbox. The bran and vegetables in the bowl were so bitter and astringent that she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
I'm so pathetic; I'm not even as well off as a stray dog back home.
Thinking of her wages, Su's mother dared not dawdle any longer and quickly went out to work.
She arrived late, and the only job she was assigned was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Looking at the bowls piled up almost like a small mountain in the kitchen, she realized she had to wash them all by herself.
How long will this take to wash...?
The tears that Su's mother had just held back fell again. She lowered her head and sobbed while working diligently with both hands, not daring to slack off.
Looking through the kitchen exhaust vent at the streetlights in the villa garden, which shone like stars, Su's mother felt a surge of resentment.
Why isn't that brat back yet?
While she was crying and blaming her daughter for being lazy and not helping her with chores, her cell phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly rang.
Su's mother suddenly felt a jolt in her heart, vaguely guessing who had made the call.
This phone call is guaranteed every payday.
But she only received 50 cents today. How is she supposed to explain this?
The vibrating phone was like a death knell, and Su's mother was terrified. Her hands trembled as she unlocked the phone and answered the video call.
"Where's my salary? Damn it, why hasn't it been transferred to me yet!"
"You've been working for the Zhou family for several years now, when are you going to get a raise? I'm already struggling to make ends meet!"
On the other end of the video was a man with an extremely fierce appearance, a sharp jawline, and a pair of triangular eyes that revealed ruthlessness and shrewdness.
