Lu Cheng also worked hard. Even with her father's promotion, she was still hardworking and motivated, doing things in a thorough manner, and no one around her could find any fault with her.
How much did her father think of Lu Cheng? He had even thought about marrying her to become his father's son-in-law and become a legitimate family.
With such a close relationship, how could Qin Ying be made to believe that Lu Cheng would betray her father?
She shook her head, refusing to believe it.
Ji's mother looked reluctant. She also knew the relationship between Lu Cheng and the Qin family. When the accident happened, if their Ji Yu had not investigated, no one would have thought that it was Lu Cheng who was behind it.
"What did he do?" Qin Ying suddenly asked, "My parents are cautious people. Even if Lu Cheng wanted to do something, he would have to have a good reason, right?"
"Of course he has a reason." Mother Ji sneered, "Remember that Grandma Huang next door to your house?"
"Of course I remember." Qin Ying looked puzzled. What does this have to do with Grandma Huang?
"Grandma Huang has always had a good relationship with our family. She lived alone. Her son died, and her husband also passed away. My parents took good care of her. What does my parents' problems have to do with Grandma Huang?"
"This is really an unexpected disaster." Mother Ji sighed again. "That Grandma Huang actually has a daughter. She went abroad a long time ago and married a foreign military officer. She hasn't been back for many years. Grandma Huang thought she was gone. Somehow, her daughter suddenly contacted Grandma Huang, and this matter was discovered by others and leaked. You know, during that sensitive period, what would happen to someone who had ties with foreign countries?"
"Grandma Huang is already old, how could she endure the torture? Your parents couldn't bear it, so they found someone to find a way to get her out. But not long after, they received a letter of accusation against your father, accusing him of abusing his power. Worst of all, they said he was involved with foreign forces. With such a heavy accusation, he couldn't bear it. It was only because your father's old comrades interceded for him that he was assigned to the farm in the new province to lead the militia. Otherwise..."
Ji's mother didn't finish her words, but everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and the terrible consequences it might bring. This reason for reporting and this result of handling were already a blessing in disguise.
"The person who reported it was Lu Cheng." Ji's mother gritted her teeth and said, obviously she hated this person very much.
"Why would he do this?" Qin Ying asked in a trembling voice, still unable to believe it.
Mother Ji remained silent, but Father Ji chuckled lightly, his tone filled with sarcasm. "Power can be very powerful. Lu Cheng rose through the ranks so quickly over the years. To prevent others from accusing him of relying on connections to get to this point, your father always urged him to proceed steadily and carefully. Before this incident, the higher-ups asked your father to recommend a candidate for Organization Department head. Your father pondered for a long time and ultimately recommended someone else without bias. Lu Cheng probably harbored a grudge from that time. He considered your father a stumbling block on his path forward, and naturally, he would spare no effort to remove him."
Su Qingyun couldn't help but widen her eyes. She asked her grandfather to recommend a candidate for the head of the Organization Department? What was her grandfather's rank before?
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Qin Ying murmured to herself in a trance. Su Aimin put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her silently.
"The human heart is always hard to predict." Father Ji said this in a complicated tone, and it was obvious that he was thinking of something bad.
Ji Yue sneered in his heart. It was said that their family and the Qin family were destined to be together. Grandpa Qin was reported by his subordinates, and his father was framed by his own brothers. They were all backstabbed by the people closest to them.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, Ji's mother stopped talking and said, "The most urgent thing now is to contact the teachers."
"Yes." Qin Ying tried to cheer herself up and forced a smile. "I plan to write a letter to my parents and send some things over."
"Sure, I believe the teachers will be very happy." Ji's mother touched her face, still treating her as a little girl.
After saying this, the Su family of three had dinner at Ji's house and then went back.
A few days later, Qin Ying sent the written letter and packed things to the address given by Ji's mother. In addition to various banknotes and daily necessities, there was also a photo.
It was Su Qingyun who reminded them of this. Grandma and grandpa hadn't seen them for so long. Sending a photo to them and letting them see the three of them would definitely make them happier.
