For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Through the flying snow, Wu Jiali looked into Zhou Hong's eyes anxiously, as if she was trying to find an answer to her obsession in the first half of her life.
The next second, Zhou Hong looked directly at Wu Jiali and said slowly, "I already have someone I like, so... I hope you won't focus on me anymore, and stop saying things that can cause misunderstandings."
Zhou Hong’s words were like a bomb, exploding in Wu Jiali’s heart in an instant.
Wu Jiali's face turned pale, and she staggered back a few steps. It seemed that she had just realized that everything was just her wishful fantasy...
She is not willing to give in!
Wu Jiali's tearful eyes were full of stubbornness. She questioned Zhou Hong: "Who is it?...Who is it?...I have been secretly in love with you for so many years, and you never gave me a chance...Now you say you have someone you like? Who is that woman?!"
Seeing this, Zhou Hong frowned and shook his head, and replied: "This has nothing to do with you."
Wu Jiali seemed to have not heard what Zhou Hong said. Her eyes were filled with reluctance. She gritted her teeth and continued to ask, "Who is she? Which family's daughter is she? ... Is her family better off than mine? She is younger than me, right? Why do you like her? Tell me!"
Zhou Hong looked at Wu Jiali and sighed helplessly. He said, "None of this has anything to do with you. You don't have to struggle with Wu Zhuo's matter. You should try to persuade her to confess and get a lighter sentence. Maybe you can even try to get her a reduced sentence."
After Zhou Hong finished speaking, he drove away.
Wu Jiali stood alone in the snow for a while, until her whole body was almost frozen. Then she got into the car and drove to the Wu family in a dejected mood.
Seeing Wu Jiali coming, Wu Xiuren, Wu Zhuo's father and Wu Jiali's brother, hurried forward, grabbed her arm and asked, "How is it? Is Zhou Hong willing to help? With his current status, as long as he is willing to speak to the higher-ups, all the problems can be easily solved..."
Wu Jiali just shook her head in confusion and murmured, "No...he refused to help..."
Wu Jiali had not yet recovered from the shock of Zhou Hong finding someone he liked. She sat on the sofa blankly, staring at the ceiling, wondering: Who is that woman? ...
Wu Xiuren didn't notice Wu Jiali's abnormality. He frowned and said worriedly, "I called Peiyi, but she wouldn't help me! Let's wait for the official result!"
Not only that, Wu Peiyi also criticized Wu Xiuren in a roundabout way, accusing him of not educating his daughter well and even withholding relief supplies.
Not to mention Shen Bailin's side. Wu Peiyi is in the process of divorcing him and is demanding the division of most of the marital property. He now feels annoyed when he hears the last name Wu.
As soon as Wu Xiuren called him, he hung up the call, making it clear that he didn't want to help the Wu family.
Wu Xiuren also tried to seek help from his elders in the family and ask them to help think of a solution, but they were helpless and Wu Xiuren was left alone and overwhelmed.
What Wu Xiuren couldn't understand the most was that this was originally an ordinary real-name report. There are so many real-name reports now, why did this report develop to this point?
He was puzzled and felt that there was someone behind this...

On the other side, looking at the pile of supplies pushed by Xia Guocheng, Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige, Xia Guozhang was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot.
Xia Guozhang rubbed his red and swollen eyes, held Xia Guocheng's hand, and kept saying: "Brother, sister-in-law, niece, thank you! Thank you for saving the lives of our family of three..."
