Chapter 144 Heart-pounding



Zhou Mingqian discovered that the person Dr. Li mentioned had already been demoted. For a moment, Shen Banxia didn't know what to say.

"Are you planning to tell them about this?" Shen Banxia asked Zhou Mingqian directly.

"Let's leak this to Zhou Mingjiao first and see how she reacts."

"Uh? What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid she'll keep this a secret?" Shen Banxia thought, given Zhou Mingjiao's character.

"Let's just keep it under wraps. Actually, we don't have any definite information right now, because we haven't found out where that person has been sent down," Zhou Mingqian said. He also had another consideration. He felt that, judging from the script, Zhou Mingjiao's mother deserved the most credit for becoming the group's darling.

If they can find out where Zhou Mingjiao was sent and confirm that she is not a member of the Zhou family, will she still be entitled to the Zhou family's protection?

Of course, all of this is predicated on the assumption that Dr. Li's suspicions are true.

But Zhou Mingqian was willing to give it a try. He thought that in the script, his wife had a miscarriage and his aunt had broken bones. The couple embarked on a journey to find a doctor, but the Zhou family, or rather Zhou Mingjiao, intentionally or unintentionally obstructed them and stood on the moral high ground to criticize them. Why?

Is it simply because he is the only daughter in the Zhou family?

In the script, he was unaware of his own background and naturally became entangled with the Zhou family.

Now that they have seized the initiative, if they were to fall into the same predicament as in their previous life, they would have no reason to live.

Zhou Mingqian is a man of action; he cut out the Chinese characters he wanted from the newspaper.

As for how to submit it, just hand it over to Lightscreen Script.

Shen Banxia was dumbfounded by what she saw. "Zhou Mingqian, how did you threaten it? How can it listen to you like this?"

The message displayed was clearly "OK," in bold red text.

As she watched, Shen Banxia inexplicably sensed a hint of flattery.

“I made a deal with it, and that’s it,” Zhou Mingqian said casually.

Shen Banxia wanted to roar, "Does this script on the light screen even have genders?"

She held Zhou Mingqian's in her hands, looking at it from left to right, "It also has the power to bewitch people."

Zhou Mingqian chuckled, "Maybe it was just a lucky coincidence that we stumbled upon it."

Shen Banxia pouted.

The little field mouse, who had been watching them act silly, got fed up and started jumping around, squeaking at Zhou Mingqian.

Zhou Mingqian looked puzzled. "What's this little guy trying to do? Does he want to hit me?"

Now it was Shen Banxia's turn to laugh. "No, he said that you're nothing special, he can deliver messages too." Recently, the little field mouse has been hibernating at Shen Banxia's house.

Now, it has no shortage of food or drink, but it's bored out of its mind.

The greatest joy of the day is feeding Shen Banxia and the baby in his belly.

But anything, if done repeatedly, will eventually feel tedious.

Seeing that the two were about to cause trouble, it also wanted to get involved.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Banxia suddenly remembered that Zhou Mingjiao was afraid of mice in the script, and said to the little field mouse, "You can ask your relatives to scare Zhou Mingjiao."

"Okay!" The little field mouse's voice was full of excitement, and it couldn't help but make a suggestion, "How about we bring Big White along too?"

Shen Banxia rolled her eyes at it, "I think you really have too much free time. Aren't you afraid of causing someone's death? What will happen then..."

The little field mouse quickly shook its head, "Then let's forget it. It's not good to cause someone's death. Besides, that person still has luck. If I hadn't suffered some losses, I wouldn't dare to join in the fun."

Upon hearing the word "luck" from the little field mouse, she understood some things.

Soon, the special letter reached Zhou Mingjiao.

Looking at the envelope in the room, Zhou Mingjiao opened it without thinking. After reading the contents, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Who is teasing her? Why would they say something like that?

County hospital?

Zhou Mingjiao's first thought was to tell her mother, but seeing the statement above clearly stating that she was not the daughter of the Zhou family, but the daughter of someone who had been sent down to the countryside, she dared not do anything.

What if what was said above is true? Zhou Mingjiao didn't dare to gamble on that possibility.

Zhou Mingjiao paced anxiously around the room. What should she do? What should she do?

She knew all too well what being sent down to the countryside meant. If she really was those people's daughter, all the dirty and hard work would fall on her shoulders. Just thinking about that possibility made her tremble.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

Lost in thought, I didn't notice a grayish mouse creeping onto my cotton shoe.

"Ahhh—get away, get away!" The high-decibel scream startled the little field mouse's relatives, who instinctively ran up to it.

Zhou Mingjiao felt something in her trouser leg, screamed "Ahhhhhh—", rolled her eyes, and collapsed.

When Zhou's mother arrived after hearing the noise, she saw the mess in the house and then looked at Zhou Mingjiao, who had fainted in the middle.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, wake up!"

After being shaken vigorously, Zhou Mingjiao woke up. "Ahhh, Mom, there's a mouse! Please help me get rid of it!"

"Alright, alright, Mother will help you chase them away," Zhou's mother readily agreed.

After a careful search, "No, Jiaojiao."

Zhou Mingjiao almost couldn't help but roar, but seeing her mother about to get the envelope, her heart was pounding in her throat, and she quickly said, "She must have run away."

"Okay, then go outside and warm yourself by the fire. I'll tidy up the house for you." It's such a mess, with shards of glass on the floor. It wouldn't be good if someone got cut.

Zhou Mingjiao's heart skipped a beat again. "Mom, I'll clean it up myself."

Zhou's mother looked at her suspiciously.

Zhou Mingjiao quickly said, "Mom, you're only a little better now, so I can't trouble you. I'm all grown up now, and I can do these things myself. Also, I'll pack my own things so they'll be easier to find later."

"Okay, okay, then be careful of those shards of glass, don't cut your hand."

"Um".

Suddenly, Zhou's mother noticed that Zhou Mingjiao was holding an envelope. "Jiaojiao, who wrote you this letter?"

Zhou Mingjiao feigned composure, "No, this was written by my aunt before."

"Oh, I see. But Jiaojiao, please try not to trouble yourself in the future, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, you go out first. It would be bad if you stepped on the glass shards. I'll come out and warm myself by the fire once I'm done," Zhou Mingjiao said, not wanting her mother to stay any longer.

But she didn't notice that Zhou's mother was staring at the letter in her hand.

"Okay, then take your time packing."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm," Zhou Mingjiao couldn't wait for her mother to leave.

Even after the person left, she was still on edge. All she wanted to do was find the person. She didn't know what the person behind this was up to. Was it because they saw that she was doing too well that they deliberately spread such news?
