Chapter 183 Beast!
Wu Jianting and Zhou Xue's eyes flashed with panic. Zhou Xue immediately said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Neither of us drove out yesterday. We were in the store the whole time."
Zhou Kunhao was extremely disappointed with his daughter.
"Xue'er, yesterday at noon, Xiaohui's father came back from overtime work. He was hit by a car at the intersection of Yongfu Lane while riding his bicycle. He is still lying in the intensive care unit, but the driver fled. The police intervened in the investigation yesterday afternoon, although the police have not yet found anything.
But my people have found out that the car is yours."
Zhou Xue's expression suddenly changed, and she hugged Zhou Kunhao's legs, "Dad, it was me! I accidentally hit the old man from the Jiang family while driving, and I was so scared that I ran away. It was noon, and no one saw it. Dad, as long as you don't say anything, no one will know."
“Pah!”
Zhou Kunhao slapped her hard, furious, "Why did I give birth to a beast like you! You hit someone, and for you it's just a little compensation, but do you know that if you run away without saving the person, you will not only kill a life, but also harm the whole family! Why did you run away?"
He really couldn't understand why his daughter, who was so cute and innocent when she was little, became like this.
The Zhou family has nothing but money.
Not to mention injuring someone, even if someone is killed, the compensation is just 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
But hit-and-run will result in jail time!
There's no reason for her daughter to run away?
Besides, his father-in-law wasn't dead at the time, but she didn't even send him to the hospital. Doesn't she have any humanity at all?
"I... I'm really scared, Dad, I'm your biological daughter, I beg you, can you just pretend you don't know about this?"
Zhou Kunhao closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"No, if you had injured someone and needed to pay compensation, Dad would be willing to give you any amount of money, but you hit and run, which is equivalent to murder. If Dad tolerates you this time, you will really dare to kill someone next time.
Xueer, you are my only daughter, and I don’t want you to go down a path of no return.”
It's all because he has been out making money all these years and neglected to discipline his children. Now that he has money and time, it's too late to discipline his children. They are grown up and he can't control them anymore.
"No, no." Zhou Xue cried, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time, no... there won't be a next time. Dad, I lost my mother when I was young, you were busy with work, sometimes you didn't come home for two or three months, my brother and I were almost like orphans, I had such a hard life when I was young, now I finally got married and have a happy family, can you bear to let me go to jail?"
Zhou Kunhao sighed, "You have to talk to the Jiang family about this. If they can forgive you, you can pay a little more money and you don't have to go to jail. If they don't forgive, then this is the consequence you have to bear. No matter what, Xue'er, Dad hopes you can be a brave and responsible adult."
When I was young, I was poor and looked down upon by others. I thought that if I had money, life would be better for my whole family.
Now he would rather be poor himself and have his children be honest and hardworking.
Unfortunately, his son is a piece of rotten clay and his daughter is in love with brains and has distorted thoughts and morals.
It's useless, it's useless. He has to hurry up and have a child with Xiaohui and raise him well before he gets too old.
Zhou Xue shook her head, "Dad, you know that the people in the Jiang family are all petty people, and Jiang Xianli and Jiang Xianhui...the two sisters have a grudge against me because of Jianting, how can the Jiang family forgive me?
Obviously, it would be fine if you didn't tell anyone, why do you have to force me to go to jail?"
Zhou Kunhao couldn't help but raise his voice, "Did I force you to do this? You deserve it! If you didn't run away and sent the person to the hospital, wouldn't everything be fine? You must come with me to the Jiang family to apologize, let's go!"
As he said that, Zhou Kunhao was about to drag Jiang Xianhui out.
Wu Jianting quickly pulled Zhou Kunhao's arm, "Dad, Dad. Xue'er is your biological daughter. If you send her to the hands of those scoundrels in the Jiang family, they will definitely put Xue'er in jail. Dad, Xue'er and I just got married..."
“Shut up!”
Before Wu Jianting could finish his words, Zhou Kunhao raised his leg and kicked him.
"How dare you call the Jiang family rogues? Aren't you the ones being rogues now? I think Xue'er became bad after marrying you. Xue'er, come with me."
"No...wuwuwu...Dad, let me go. I won't go. Wuwuwu...Ever since you married Jiang Xianhui, you no longer have me as your daughter in your heart...wuwuwu...Why am I so pitiful...wuwuwu..."
No matter how she cried, Zhou Kunhao remained unmoved in the end.
In a desperate situation, Zhou Xue said, "Dad, I can't go to jail. I'm pregnant!"
"What?" Zhou Kunhao loosened his grip on her, "Are you pregnant?"
Zhou Xue took the opportunity to break away, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Even if you don't feel sorry for me, you should at least feel sorry for your unborn grandson."
Zhou Kunhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Xue'er, it's not that Dad wants you to go to jail. I personally reported the case yesterday. Since my people can find your car, the police can definitely find it. If you go to the Jiang family to apologize and turn yourself in, you still have room for maneuver. If the police find you and arrest you, you will definitely go to jail!"
"But if you don't tell me, how can the police find out?" Zhou Xue shouted, "Isn't it because the person who was hit was Jiang Xianhui's father? If it was someone else, would you care?"
Zhou Kunhao was speechless for a moment. If his daughter had hit someone else, would he be able to kill her own daughter for the sake of justice?
He really didn't dare to say anything about things that didn't happen, but he would never let his daughter go to jail.
In fact, he was sure that the incident of his daughter hitting Jiang Dongshan would be exposed, not only because of the police, but more because of Xie Jingcheng.
Everyone knows that the Xie family was built from scratch by Xie Xiangan and Gao Shuhua.
But few people know that Xie Jingcheng is the one who has both good and bad connections in Haiping City.
Zhou Kunhao was only the richest man in Haiping City on paper. In reality, Xie Jingcheng was definitely richer than him.
If Xie Jingcheng wanted to check something, it would be very easy.
Who knows, he has already known the truth now.
"Hehe..." Zhou Xue smiled bitterly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "See, I said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Ever since you married Jiang Xianhui, she has been your treasure, and my brother and I are not even as good as grass. Now that I'm pregnant, you can still send me to jail without a care. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could you be so cold-blooded!"
Zhou Kunhao made up his mind and said, "Xue'er, Daddy is doing this for your own good. You must apologize now and turn yourself in. Only if you get the Jiang family's forgiveness can you avoid going to jail. Don't worry, Daddy will help you. Follow Daddy!"
“No… don’t…”
Zhou Kunhao grabbed Zhou Xue and pulled her out again. Wu Jianting had just been kicked and didn't dare to say anything.
"Dad...let me go..."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door was kicked open and Xie Jingcheng walked in with four bodyguards.
Zhou Kunhao's heart skipped a beat. What he feared was bound to come true.
Xie Jingcheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Zhou Kunhao sighed heavily, "It's unfortunate for our family. The person who hit our father yesterday was Xue'er. I will take her to the Jiang family to apologize and turn herself in to the police station."
Xie Jingcheng looked at him, then looked at Wu Jianting.
"Who said she was the one who hit the old man? She was punished for taking the blame for Wu Jianting."
Zhou Xue was shocked. How did Xie Jingcheng know that?
After Wu Jianting hit Jiang Dongshan yesterday, he told her immediately. She decided to say that she was the one who hit him no matter who asked.
Because her father is the richest man, if she hits someone, her father will definitely protect her, but he will never protect Wu Jianting.
I just didn't expect that Xie Jingcheng would find out so soon.
Zhou Kunhao's eyes lit up and his tense nerves relaxed.
"real?"
"Well, the old man was hit at around 12:10. Someone saw Wu Jianting drinking beef soup in a nearby restaurant around 11 o'clock. After that, he drove away in Zhou Xue's white BMW. During this time, Zhou Xue was buying clothes at Taiji Mall."
Xie Jingcheng didn't need to explain what happened next, everyone understood that it was Wu Jianting who hit Jiang Dongshan.
Zhou Kun was so angry that he slapped Wu Jianting so hard that the corner of his mouth bled.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhou Xue quickly supported Wu Jianting and wiped the corner of his mouth with concern, "Does it hurt?"
Seeing his daughter like this, Zhou Kunhao was heartbroken.
"Wu Jianting, ah Wu Jianting, you bastard are really capable. You were a poor student but you were able to attract the admiration of a beauty like Jiang Xianli. When Jiang Xianli wanted to marry someone else, you could immediately climb into her sister's bed.
Then you were supported by a strong woman like Wei Rong, and then I, the daughter of the richest man in Haiping City, fell in love with you.
It would be fine if you were really a good man, but you cling to the powerful, are cunning and treacherous, and have no conscience and no morals at all.
Now you hit someone with your car and ran away, and you even let your pregnant wife take the blame for you. You are worse than a beast.
Is Zhou Kunhao's daughter so easy to bully?"
The more he cursed, the angrier he got. Zhou Kunhao felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
He pulled Zhou Xue away and kicked Wu Jianting to the ground with a bang.
"Bang, bang..." After a few steps, Zhou Xue quickly lay on Wu Jianting to protect him, "Dad, don't hit him. He is the man I chose. No one can touch him. If you want to hit someone, hit me..."
Zhou Kunhao's teeth were almost broken. "Do you think I dare not hit you? If you weren't pregnant, I would have beaten your brains out to see if they were filled with shit!
Zhou Xue, Zhou Xue, how could I have given birth to such a useless fool like you? Wu Jianting doesn't like you at all. Can't you see it at all? If you weren't my daughter, he wouldn't even look at you. Are you prettier than Jiang Xianli or Jiang Xianhui?
He married you just for money! You are still foolishly protecting him and taking the blame for him. I think you have lost your mind!"
Zhou Xue sniffed, tears streaming down her face, and glared at Zhou Kunhao angrily.
"Money? How much money have you given me since you married Jianting? You even took back the house I bought for his family. Now he lives with me in our old house, and his parents are still renting a house.
If I hadn't saved some money before, we wouldn't even have enough to drink! But even so, even though Jianting is looked down upon by you and humiliated by you and your brother every day, he still sticks with me. If this isn't true love, what is it?
Is Jiang Xianhui in love with you? What does he love about you? Love that you are old, love that you snore and fart? She is after your money!"
Zhou Kunhao sneered, "I can give the money I earn to whoever I want, but the money you spend on Wu Jianting and his family is not yours, it's all mine! I won't waste my words on you. Since Wu Jianting hit the woman, he's not pregnant, he must turn himself in to the police station."
He turned to Xie Jingcheng and said, "Let your people take Wu Jianting away."
Xie Jingcheng said, "No need. I have already notified the police before coming here. Their people will probably be here soon."
Wu Jianting's face turned pale, "Haha... Xie Jingcheng, isn't it just because Jiang Xianli talked to me that you want to take revenge on me? You villain!"
"I'm taking revenge on you?" Xie Jingcheng laughed with extreme disdain, "Don't you see who you are? You don't think I'm treating you as a love rival? In my eyes, you're just a maggot. Would I treat a maggot as an opponent? Are you worthy?"
Really, he never took Wu Jianting seriously, and his wife was different from those idiots. There was no way she would have any feelings for a social scum like Wu Jianting.
Zhou Xue knelt down in front of Zhou Kunhao again, crying, "Dad, Dad, please save Jianting, Jianting didn't do it on purpose, wuwuwu... Dad, if Jianting is taken away by the police, he will have to serve at least half a year in prison, and in serious cases, two to three years is possible. Dad, you don't want your grandson to be born without a father, right?"
"Humph!" Zhou Kunhao snorted, "I miss him so much. It's good that he's in jail. You can get divorced and find a dog on the street to be my grandson's father. It's better than him."
If their Zhou family goes bankrupt one day, Wu Jianting will definitely find another woman.
Or once he has money, he will find mistresses outside.
I don't know how this stupid daughter of his can be so blind.
"Enough!" Zhou Xue yelled, "I beg you not to humiliate him anymore. No matter what he is like, no matter what kind of person he is, I just love him, and I will only love him in this life. If he goes to jail, I will wait for him. If he dies, I will never marry. Dad, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on your unborn grandson, go talk to the Jiang family, and we will pay them a little more money, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand is fine, as long as they can write a letter of understanding and forgive Jianting, we are willing to spend any amount."
"Bah! You guys are willing to spend it, but do you have the money? I'll have to pay for it! I'm telling you, Zhou Xue, I can't afford to lose this man. If you want him not to go to jail, you can go to the Jiang family and beg them. I won't go. But he probably doesn't have a chance. Look, the police car is here."
