After getting off the plane, Zhou Qiyue did not return to the Zhou family's old house first, but rushed to Zhou Qizhen's residence.
After Lin Lin received Zhou Qiyue's call, she opened the door with great anticipation. The moment she saw her mother outside the door, her eyes instantly turned red.
She threw herself into Zhou Qiyue's arms, as if she wanted to melt all her longing for him these days into this embrace.
"Mom, you're finally back!"
Zhou Qiyue hugged Lin Lin back and comforted her for a moment. When she calmed down, he asked her, "Where's Xiao Qiao?"
Lin Lin sobbed and said, "She is in the room. She only had a little lunch yesterday at noon, and has not eaten anything since then."
Zhou Qiyue hurriedly followed Lin Lin to the master bedroom.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw a girl curled up under a slightly bulging quilt on the spacious bed. Her petite figure only took up a very small space, and she looked lonely and pitiful.
Zhou Qiyue hurried to the bedside: "Xiao Qiao?"
In fact, Lu Xiaoqiao had woken up a long time ago, but she felt groggy and had no strength, so she lay in bed and didn't want to move.
Hearing someone calling her name, she slowly opened her eyes.
When he saw clearly that it was Zhou Qiyue standing beside the bed, he could no longer control himself and tears immediately flowed from his eyes.
"Aunt!"
Zhou Qiyue: “…”
Seeing her crying so pitifully, Zhou Qiyue didn't care what Lu Xiaoqiao called him at this time. The main reason was that because of Lin Lin, she had always called him auntie before.
Zhou Qiyue helped Lu Xiaoqiao up as she tried to sit up from the bed: "What's wrong with you? Can we go to the hospital first?"
Lu Xiaoqiao did feel a little uncomfortable, but she nodded and did not refuse.
Zhou Qiyue looked at the pale-faced Lu Xiaoqiao, wiped her tears, and said with some heartache: "Don't cry, tell me if you have any grievances. I came back today to seek justice for our Xiaoqiao."
The more Zhou Qiyue said this, the more Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't stop crying, as if the grievances of the past few days had finally found an outlet.
Lin Lin looked at her little sister who used to be like a little sun, but now became like a poor little thing, and tears started to fall again.
"Xiao Qiao is feeling very uncomfortable. I don't know what my uncle was thinking. He agreed to let the old witch arrange for those two women to work in the company. That's why there are so many rumors. Mom, you must make the decision for Xiao Qiao."
Zhou Qiyue asked Lin Lin to bring Lu Xiaoqiao's clothes over and helped her put them on: "Zhou Qizhen is an old man. Just wait and see how I will deal with him. He didn't even know that his wife was bullied like this."
Zhou Qiyue asked Lu Xiaoqiao to go to the bathroom to wash up: "The hospital is not open yet, let's go back to the old house before going to the hospital. I want to see who dares to bully our Xiaoqiao like this."
After Lu Xiaoqiao had packed up, Zhou Qiyue took a car key from the closed cabinet, then went to the basement, drove Zhou Qizhen's car, and took Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin to the Zhou family's old house.
…
Zhou family’s old house.
Zhou Qiyue parked the Bentley he drove directly in the middle of the yard, looking extremely domineering.
After getting off the car, she led Lu Xiaoqiao, who was sitting in the back seat, down. Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao was a little hesitant, Zhou Qiyue patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. I've been telling you the whole time that I let you in because you didn't eat anything this morning. I want you to eat something. When you come back from the hospital, I'll take you to eat your favorite food."
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded obediently.
At this moment in the restaurant, everyone is gathered together to eat breakfast.
Since it was Saturday, Ariel Zhao and Pauline Liu were also there. Father Zhou and Zhao Jiangang had made an appointment with someone to go fishing, so they left early.
Zhao Yaqin was the first to see Zhou Qiyue. She was surprised, then happy.
"Qiyue, when did you come back? Didn't you say you would be back in two days? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back early so I could have someone pick you up at the airport?"
Zhou Qiyue smiled at Zhao Yaqin: "Aunt."
After greeting Zhao Yaqin, he took Lu Xiaoqiao to the dining table and asked her to sit next to the main seat, which was the seat where Zhou Qi had sat before.
Then he turned to the kitchen lady in the back and said, "Bring me a bowl of bird's nest."
Zhao Yichen and Liu Yufei greeted her, but she turned her gaze to Wang Yumei without paying any attention: "Aunt, do you have time? I have something personal to discuss. Do you think we should talk here or in the study upstairs?"
Wang Yumei looked at Zhou Qiyue who was coming with great momentum and knew that this was the little girl who had found someone to back her up. She didn't dare to tell Zhou Qizhen, as she probably knew that she was not important enough.
Wang Yumei glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao with some disdain: "Just say whatever you want to say right here!"
Zhou Qiyue sneered: "Okay, then I'll be frank! I heard that you have some doubts about Qizheng giving our Xiaoqiao two cards. Aren't you meddling too much, aunt?"
After Zhou Qiyue finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to the two of them.
Wang Yumei looked a little embarrassed and said angrily, "Was what I said wrong? And I didn't say anything. I just said that it's not easy for Qi Zheng to make money, and asked her to feel more sorry for Qi Zheng. Is that wrong?"
Zhou Qiyue smiled and said, "Aunt, you are interfering too much in the affairs of the younger generation. It is not only unwise, but also unbecoming of an elder. Now that they are a young couple, let alone you, even I, your biological sister, have no right to interfere."
Wang Yuxue looked at Wang Yumei's obviously unhappy face and knew that this time it was also because of her daughter's incident. She hurriedly stood by to help: "Qiyue, your aunt just feels sorry for Qi Zheng, she has no other meaning."
Zhou Qiyue glanced at Wang Yuxue and said with a smile, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Feeling sorry for her? That's a little funny! When they are a young couple, behind closed doors, my brother just lies on the ground and barks like a dog, because he wants to make his wife happy."
"Besides, if he doesn't spend the money on his wife, then tell me, who should he give the money to?"
Wang Yumei felt embarrassed, so she stood up and walked over to Lu Xiaoqiao, questioning her with an unhappy face, "Did I say that yesterday? Explain yourself to me today, little girl."
Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little dizzy, but still forced herself to stand up.
Wang Yumei thought she was pretending because she looked so sick, and she became even angrier. It seemed that her sister was right, this little girl was really not simple.
"I really underestimated you, kid. You said you were not feeling well yesterday morning, but you went out to have lunch with someone of the opposite sex at noon. You were smiling like a flower at the time, so how could you not look uncomfortable? Why are you pretending to be pitiful now?"
After she finished speaking, she felt a little angry and reached out to gently push Lu Xiaoqiao.
She swore that it was just a light touch, it wasn't even a push, she just wanted to nudge the little girl.
But I never expected... Lu Xiaoqiao fell down!
How can you cheat on me?
"Xiao Qiao!"
Lin Lin, who was sitting next to her, quickly reached out to catch Lu Xiaoqiao who was about to fall to the ground.
Everyone present was shocked by this sudden situation and didn't know what to do. At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao fell to the ground with a pale face, her eyes slightly closed, and it seemed that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
Wang Yumei then explained with some fear: "I, I didn't push her, I just touched her and she fell down!"
