She had seen how the Liu family treated her and Lingzi these past few days. She had thought it over and decided that she would just have to wait half a month; there were only two possible outcomes.
Lingzi is Liu Zi's biological daughter, so she's in pretty good health right now. She could easily take care of Zizi's child for a few years without asking for money, just some food.
But if not, then Lingzi is unlucky, and she will take Lingzi away so as not to make things difficult for Zizi.
"I feel relieved to hear your words, sister-in-law." Liu's mother patted Zhang's hand gratefully; this sister-in-law was a kind and honest person.
Life returned to its usual tranquility. Liu Zi only went out to the bank to handle some business the next day, and after returning, she stayed at home, rushing to finish her manuscript.
She's been too busy lately—divorce, finding her child—each and every one of these things is exhausting, so she simply doesn't have time to write.
She had used up all the manuscripts she had saved up, and with the next deadline fast approaching, she had no choice but to work hard and write diligently every day.
Although Liu Zi was very busy, she could still sense the atmosphere at home. Aunt Zhang was always a bit timid and hesitant, which made Lingzi a bit cautious as well.
She understood Aunt Zhang's worries and tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail, so she simply gave up. As a result, she would be able to get out in a few days, and then they could live together 'legitimately'.
However, on this day, Liu Zi suddenly received a call from her lawyer.
The lawyer said that the Public Security Bureau contacted him because Zhao Qian and Zhao Pozi were detained, and no one was taking care of Zhao Gang, so he went to the Public Security Bureau to report the case himself.
The police station said Zhao Gang wanted to find you and wanted to live with your mother and sister.
Liu Zi rolled her eyes while holding her phone: "I don't want to. Now that Zhao Qian and I are divorced, shouldn't we be able to apply for changes to some of the relevant documents? I don't want to be the mother of a child born to a mistress."
The lawyer hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Zhao family is shameless, and their relatives are no better. I heard they've already contacted your parents."
"What?"
Liu Zi was shocked!
Why didn't her parents tell her that a daughter getting divorced is already considered unpleasant these days? If people found out that the son they raised was an illegitimate child they secretly adopted, that would be sensational news.
After all, Zhao Gang had appeared in the compound before, and everyone knew that he was Old Liu's grandson.
If they don't admit it, they have to give a reason, but for the sake of their daughter's reputation, they can't say anything. They probably have no choice but to endure it for now.
Worried about her parents' current situation, Liu Zi immediately called her father's office.
As soon as the call connected, Liu Daqiang inquired about their lives, without mentioning anything else.
Finally, Liu Zi spoke first: "Dad, did the Zhao family come to our house and cause trouble?"
"Oh! You found out?"
Liu Daqiang sighed. Although he forcefully drove the people away, he couldn't stop the gossip. Now the whole family compound was talking about this.
Seeing that he was not someone to be trifled with, the Zhao family turned to visiting Liu's mother, Xu Mei, every day. Now, he goes there to pick up his wife every day after get off work.
"Dad, what are they trying to do?" Liu Zi asked in a deep voice.
She didn't think the Zhao family had any other purpose than simply dumping Zhao Gang on her.
"They want you to drop the charges, claiming it's all a misunderstanding." When Mr. Liu heard this, he was so angry he almost punched them.
"Hehe, impossible!" Liu Zi said decisively.
Liu Daqiang was very satisfied with his daughter's attitude, but he couldn't let that family of scoundrels get away with it because of this little setback.
"Aren't you worried about me? I've already spoken to my superior, and the Zhao Qian case will have a result soon."
"Okay, then I'll urge my lawyer to dissolve my mother-son relationship with Zhao Gang as soon as possible."
"Yes, we can't raise that scoundrel's child. The child isn't motherless. Give the lawyer the paternity test report you have and have him hand it over to the police station," Liu Daqiang said indignantly.
"Okay, I understand."
Liu Zi chatted with Liu Daqiang for a few more minutes, telling them to take care of their health, and then hung up the phone.
well!
Liu Zi sighed.
The decision to run away back then was absolutely right, otherwise I wouldn't be living such a peaceful life now. Right now, I just feel a little sorry for my parents.
Su Yao has been having a tough time lately.
A while ago, because Liu Zi sued Zhao Qian for divorce, both Zhao's mother-in-law and Zhao Qian had to go to court. Zhao Gang had nowhere to go, so he was sent to her place.
She was initially quite happy, firstly because if Zhao Qian divorced Liu Zi, he would most likely marry her, after all, she had been with Zhao Qian for so many years and had even given birth to his son; the other reason for her happiness was that she could connect with her son Zhao Gang. It was inconvenient before with Liu Zi around, and later Zhao's mother-in-law kept a close eye on her. If she could get her son's support in the future, her path to power would probably be much smoother.
So she took a day off from work and went to the amusement park with her son, spending the whole day with him.
After spending the day entertaining her, she immediately prepared a sumptuous dinner, hoping that Granny Zhao would see her as a virtuous wife and loving mother.
But no matter how long he waited, Zhao Gang didn't come, and he was making a lot of noise, so they had no choice but to let him eat first.
Su Yao inquired about the situation everywhere and called the Zhao family multiple times, but no one answered. The company also said that Zhao Qian had taken the day off.
The two of them seemed to have vanished into thin air. Finally, around nine o'clock, Zhao Qian's cousin received a call from Su Yao at the Zhao family home.
Cousin Zhao, drunk, said, "That Liu woman is too powerful. She actually got her dad to use his connections to lock up my aunt and cousin in the police station. We're useless! We can't save them."
"The security team?" Su Yao was taken aback.
"Why? There has to be a reason!" Su Yao didn't believe that the Liu family could have such absolute power in Beijing.
"Why don't you understand, girl? The Liu family are high-ranking officials. Zhao Qian married their daughter but didn't treat her well, so he's been locked up."
"This would only be possible now; in the past, he would definitely have been exiled to the frontier." Cousin Zhao spoke incoherently, and then began to sing opera lyrics.
Su Yao was speechless for a moment, then angrily hung up the phone.
How dare Liu Zi do this? Isn't she afraid someone will report the Liu family?
Zhao Qian is now the company's vice president. He has the ability, connections, and money, and plenty of people will help him.
Liu Zi has really offended someone now; she'll be in big trouble from now on.
Su Yao returned to the dining table with a ferocious expression, but the scene on the table left her dumbfounded.
The four dishes and soup that were just beautifully arranged have now been turned into a complete mess.
All the eggs in the scrambled eggs with tomatoes had been picked out, all the shredded meat in the stir-fried green beans with pork had been gone, the braised fish had been turned over and turned into a mess, and as for the chicken stew with mushrooms, there were still bits of meat left, but looking at the chicken bones scattered everywhere, Su Yao really had no appetite at all.
