Chapter 206 Things are a bit difficult to handle
Put the meat back?
Gu Qijiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what are you going to eat when you put it back?"
"Well, I'll secretly put some in your steamed bun." Xie Jinxiang thought about it and realized that her daughter was still pregnant, so she couldn't be too lenient with her food.
"Mom, not really. With Zheng Yunsheng and I in our current situation, if we exchange all our money for steamed buns, we probably wouldn't be able to finish even a thousand buns."
In the past, Gu Qijiao had never told Xie Jinxiang how much assets she and Zheng Yunsheng had now. Now that she saw that Xie Jinxiang was still so frugal, she mentioned it in a low voice.
"How much?" Xie Jinxiang was obviously shocked, looking at Gu Qijiao with bulging eyes.
Gu Qi smiled softly, put her index finger to her lips, and whispered, "Shhhhh, keep your voice down. Don't show off your wealth. There's someone standing in the yard. Don't let her hear you."
Although Gu Qijiao and Xie Jinxiang shared their family assets, Xie Jinxiang was not willing to give them up. She curled her lips and gave Gu Qijiao a glare:
"The situation is ever-changing. Who knows whether having so much money like you can be a good thing or a bad thing?
In my opinion, we should save when we should. ”
Although she said this, Xie Jinxiang didn't put the meat down. She turned around and walked into the yard. Seeing Xiao Hong still sitting in the corner, she called her:
"Girl, come over and have dinner!"
Xiao Hong saw that Gu Qijiao and Xie Jinxiang both called her "幊", and rubbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly.
She walked into the room somewhat awkwardly, sat next to Gu Qijiao, and finally asked Gu Qijiao awkwardly:
"Gu Qijiao, don't you hate me?"
"Hateful." Gu Qijiao answered honestly.
"If you hate me, then why did you save me yesterday and let me change my clothes? I came in to eat."
Gu Qijiao looked at Xiao Hong and said calmly:
"Because I'm different from you."
Xiao Hong's face turned red after hearing these words. She said:
"Thank you. No matter what, you saved me. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
"It's just a reward, we don't have any big grudges, just stop thinking about how to hurt me, I'll thank you."
Xiao Hong was silent.
She felt that Gu Qijiao and An Ran were two completely different people.
Every time An Ran gave her alms, she acted condescendingly and would slap her twice for giving her a candy.
Otherwise, her parents had always asked her to have a good relationship with An Ran, and she would have broken up with An Ran long ago.
Looking at Gu Qijiao again, she was open and honest, without any intention of seeking repayment for a favor.
At this time, Xie Jinxiang came into the room with porridge and a bowl. She poured porridge for Xiao Hong and gave her a steamed bun.
The three of them had dinner together.
As she felt embarrassed, Xiao Hong never touched the bowl of meat that Xie Jinxiang brought. She just lowered her head and finished eating the steamed bun in Xiao's hand.
Finally, drink the porridge in the bowl.
In the afternoon, Gu Qijiao went to the study to study the courses taught by Zheng Yunsheng, and asked Xiao Hong to stay in the empty room in the wing.
After Ye Shou left Gu Qijiao's house, he went straight to Zhao Kuangguo's house.
In the huge living room, Zhao Qiulan hugged a blanket and cried with red eyes. The originally domineering and unreasonable girl became haggard overnight.
When she saw Ye Shouru come in, she immediately sat up and asked anxiously:
"Brother Ye, what's going on? Have you found out why my father was arrested?"
"Not yet." Ye Shou shook his head. After he walked over and sat down opposite Zhao Qiulan, he continued:
"But I heard a little rumor here. It said that Uncle Zhao embezzled public funds a few years ago. An Qingshan may use this as an excuse..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Qiulan interrupted him. She was a little angry:
"Brother Ye, you must know what kind of person my father is. He would never embezzle public funds. If he wanted to take the newspaper's money, he could do it without leaving any trace."
Ye Shou nodded and sighed helplessly:
"I think so too. Uncle Zhao would never do such a thing. I just wanted to come and confirm with you, for fear that there might be other hidden secrets."
"What could be hidden..." Zhao Qiulan was talking when she was suddenly stunned.
She opened her eyes wide, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"What don't you want to think about?" Ye Shouyi saw that Zhao Qiulan's expression was not right and asked immediately.
After Zhao Qiulan thought for a while, her body softened, she took a deep breath, and said:
"If we talk about a few years ago, my father did embezzle public funds once. At that time, the newspaper was interviewing a village. There was a problem with the well water in that village. Many people in the village were sick.
Everyone in the village was having a hard time. My father went with them to do the interview and felt upset for several days after he came back. After the incident was reported, there was no follow-up.
My father couldn't stand it, so when he paid for the printing, he spent an extra ten thousand yuan. He used the ten thousand yuan to buy rice and oil to send to the sick villagers.
If it's about embezzlement of public funds, then it's probably this matter. I've told you a long time ago that this kind of thing can't be done, but he didn't listen. What can I do now? ”
As she spoke, Zhao Qiulan began to cry.
Ye Shou frowned and asked, "Did Uncle Zhao give the money back to the newspaper later?"
"I don't know. He bought a lot of things to give away. I was curious where he got the money, but he didn't tell me. I found out when I looked through his bills." Zhao Qiulan cried, looking depressed.
Although Ye Shou had no way of hearing the inside information, he was almost certain that Zhao Kuangguo was arrested because of this incident.
This is more troublesome.
If Zhao Kuangguo really embezzled public funds, then no matter what he did with the money, he would be committing a crime.
In this situation, even if Ye Shou used his family connections, there was no way to release Zhao Kuangguo unharmed.
But Ye Shouyi immediately thought of what Xiao Hong's father had said.
Xiao Hong's father's words can prove that An Qingshan knew that Zhao Kuangguo had embezzled the money at that time.
If it can be proved through witnesses that Zhao Kuangguo's donation was approved by the bank, will things turn around?
Thinking of this, Ye Shou decided to go back to Gu Qijiao's house and look for Xiao Hong again.
He asked Zhao Qiulan for Zhao Kuangguo's car keys, then got up and prepared to go to Gu Qijiao's house. Ye Shou said he didn't have a car, and it was too tiring to run around on his own two legs and a bicycle.
Just as he walked to the door, he heard a "bang" behind him. Looking back, he found that Zhao Qiulan, who was originally standing, was lying on the ground.
Fainted.
In this way, Ye Shou naturally couldn't leave. He walked to Zhao Qiulan and touched her hand, only to find that Zhao Qiulan had a high fever.
Ye Shou took Zhao Qiulan to the hospital, registered her, took her to the ward to get an IV drip, and bought some food to send to the ward.
After working for a long time, Ye Shou finally left the hospital. It was dark when he left.
He drove to Gu Qijiao's house.
There were not many people driving here, and the quiet street was empty.
Just as he was approaching Yenching University and about to arrive at Gu Qijiao's home, he saw a girl running fast on the street.
Several big men with sticks followed closely behind her, chasing her and shouting:
"Bitch, stop!"
