"Boss Zhou," Guo Yao said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I won't bring any young girls here next time. They are too narrow-minded."
"No," Zhou Xiangke couldn't agree. "It's the people here who value me and use a respectful title. Outsiders don't think so! We can't find fault with outsiders."
"Okay! I'll speak for Boss Zhou and get everyone to change their tune."
"Thank you, Yaoyao."
The two chatted for a while, and then Guo Yao said goodbye and left.
After Lai Lai was dressed and changed, Guo Jia handed him over to Zhou Xiang and said, "Cousin, please keep an eye on this naughty boy while I go home to take care of him."
"Okay," Zhou wanted to take it. This guy crawls around all day, but his body still has a lot of weight. He's quite heavy.
Ling Ran brought Lai Lai over. Lai Lai thought she was playing with him and laughed.
Guo Jia didn't come back until nine o'clock in the evening. Lai Lai was fed half a bottle of milk powder. Even though he saw his biological mother, his wet nurse, he still wanted to eat.
After carrying her son back to the room, feeding him and coaxing him to sleep, she saw that it was already ten o'clock, so she planned to discuss it with Miss Zhou the next day. However, Zhou wanted to sleep until ten o'clock.
Looking at Zhou Xiang who was still yawning, Guo Jia teased, "Did you go out to steal at night?"
"You got it wrong," Zhou Xiang yawned again, "I caught a flower thief, but unfortunately I didn't have enough force, so I got caught by the flower thief instead."
Guo Jia's face flushed slightly. He was still not used to Zhou Xiang's tone. "My eldest sister plans to go to Xiao Qian's house and see for herself. If it's different from what she originally imagined, then she will give up completely. If she still doesn't give up, she can ask in person and put an end to it completely."
"Huh?" Zhou Xiang's sleepiness was immediately awakened. "Did your mother agree?"
"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded. Her mother got what she wanted, but she couldn't be too arbitrary. "She just needs someone to accompany her. Those security guards have families and jobs, so they're not suitable. Cousin, can you borrow Lü Jing or Lü Ying?"
"Whose idea was it?" Zhou Xiang didn't mean to refuse to lend the money, but the person who really needed to borrow it had to ask for it. If anything happened, both she and Lu Jing and Lu Ying would have to take responsibility.
"My thoughts," Guo Jia didn't understand why Zhou Xiang asked this, so she spoke frankly, "I think my mother's condition was intentional, but my eldest sister has to go on this trip."
"Have you ever considered that if anything were to happen, Lü Jing and Lü Ying would all be held responsible," Zhou Xiang explained to her. "If Guo Yao insists on going her own way, then whatever happens to her is her own fault, and she'll have to bear the consequences herself. If your mother really agrees, she can shoulder the responsibility with Guo Yao if something goes wrong. You dragged Lü Jing and Lü Ying into this. If something goes wrong, it would be heartless for us not to take responsibility, and it would be a shame if we did."
"It's not that serious, is it?" Guo Jia felt that Zhou Xiang was overthinking it. "It's just a meeting."
"The evil of human nature should never be taken lightly," Zhou Xiang sighed, "Think about Xiao Qian, he was harmed by his relatives. When you go out, no one can guarantee their absolute safety.
Besides, love can often make people lose their minds. Unless the person who followed him kept an eye on Guo Yao 24 hours a day, who could do that? I didn't want to let Lv Jing and Lv Ying go through this ordeal. They might even have to endure the remorse of their conscience in the end."
"What should we do then?" Guo Jia was also at a loss.
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "How about asking Xiao Qian to come over? After all, if Guo Yao goes over there, he might be ridiculed by that woman."
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly. After Miss Zhou said this, she finally realized where the awkwardness in her heart came from when she heard her eldest sister say she was going to look for Xiao Qian yesterday. Her eldest sister was a girl, so she shouldn't humiliate herself by looking for Xiao Qian. "Okay, okay, I'll call Yao Yao right now and calm her down first."
Guo Yao had packed her luggage and answered the phone when her elder sister started to scold her. Then she heard the two most important things. One was that her elder sister did not allow her to go out, saying that it was too embarrassing for a girl to go out with a married man. The other was that Boss Zhou said to call Xiao Qian to come over. It was good that Xiao Qian came over so that he would not be disturbed by others and could talk to her clearly.
"Sister, you're so long-winded now! I have to sort out the dross and keep the essence before I can understand your main idea."
"So you agree?" Being rejected, Guo Jiake didn't have time to argue with his sister.
"Well! Sorry to bother you, Boss Zhou." Guo Yao quickly changed his address.
It would be more appropriate for Ling Ran to trick Xiao Qian into coming here. He could use the excuse of official business to find him. Although they were not in the same team, it was more appropriate than doing it himself. So Zhou Xiang assigned this task to his lover.
Ling Ran tapped his lover's forehead lightly, "You just love to worry about things. It seems you have too much energy."
Having said that, Ling Ran naturally had to follow his wife's instructions. He tricked the man into coming over under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation.
Xiao Qian arrived very quickly, arriving at Zhou's residence on the third day. Zhou Xiang was shocked by Xiao Qian's transformation, "Xiao Qian, how did you get yourself into this state?"
But in just over a year, this man had aged several years. He was hunched over, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and he seemed to have lost the ability to smile. He just pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Miss Zhou."
Are you too lazy to even talk?
Ling Ran looked at Xiao Qian and wanted to beat him up immediately. He did it right away and dragged him to the gym.
Half an hour later, the two men came out. There was no visible injury on Xiao Qian's face. Seeing that he was gasping for breath from time to time, it was obvious that he was beaten in the dark, but he seemed to be in a slightly better mood.
"Miss Zhou," Xiao Qian carefully sat down on the sofa, his eyes now bright with anticipation as he looked at Zhou Xiang, "Boss Ling said you were the one who asked me to come over."
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiang nodded. It was indeed her who asked Ling Ran to trick people over here. "I have a job for you, but I need to understand your current situation first, to avoid any troublesome people following you."
"No," Xiao Qian smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of Miss Zhou laughing at me. That woman tried to get into my bed many times, but I kicked her out every time. After more than three months of stalemate, she couldn't stand it anymore and got together with a bachelor in the village. She didn't hide it from the villagers at all and deliberately cheated on me.
I'll just hang on with her, no matter what she does, I won't divorce her, no matter how much my family tries to persuade me. Isn't that the woman they've chosen? Can they just tell me to marry? Can they just tell me to divorce?
Just ask my family to embarrass me together. My elder brother beat my elder sister-in-law three times a day to put on a show for me, but I refused to divorce. Later, the woman got pregnant, and the bachelor came to me and begged me for money, saying that he would give me money and only asked me to divorce him. I refused because I thought the money was dirty. The bachelor had no choice but to bring the woman to kneel down and beg me, but I still refused to give in.
Finally, they asked me what it would take to get that woman released. I told them they wanted me to divorce, but they had to divorce my sister-in-law first. How could she still live so comfortably despite all the trouble she had caused?
