Lu Wenzhou looked at her with dark lines on his face, and his tone was not friendly at all.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it, and now you regret it, and you actually set your sights on my grandma?"
Joey didn't understand what was going on.
She turned to look at the old lady next to her and said in disbelief: "Is this the grandson you are talking about?"
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you know each other? That would be great. There is a foundation of relationship, and the two of them will not be constrained when getting along."
Joey sneered: "I'm sorry, grandma, since your family has come to pick you up, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as Joey stood up, his wrist was grabbed by Lu Wenzhou.
"You hit someone and you just want to leave?"
Joey smiled coldly: "Mr. Lu forgot that I have a driving recorder in my car. I want to form a group to have sex, but it doesn't work!"
She turned away without mercy.
After walking a few steps, I heard Lu Wenzhou's cold voice.
"Joy, why bother trying so hard to play hard-to-get with me? As long as you agree to my request, everything will be fine for the Qiao family."
Joey didn't even look back and replied coldly: "I'm afraid I've disappointed Mr. Lu. The Qiao family has survived."
After saying that, no matter how the old lady called her, she still left quickly.
Looking at Joey's slender back and her determined eyes, Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Wenzhou angrily.
"You useless thing, is it easy for me to catch your wife? I almost died."
It's good for you, you just made me angry and left.
Do you think people care about your little money? Let me tell you, people don't care about it at all. "
Lu Wenzhou frowned and looked at her: "Who asked you to do this? Do you know it's dangerous?"
"What can I do? If I don't take action, I really won't be able to catch him back."
Mrs. Lu looked at her grandson with disgust on her face.
Ever since he was young, his grandson has been better than others in everything, except for the issue of marriage, which lags far behind others.
Lu Wenzhou wanted to teach her a few more words, but when he saw the old lady sighing, the words on her lips remained unspoken.
He just said lightly: "There is nothing to worry about. I will come back after enough trouble."
Mrs. Lu looked at her arrogant grandson and pounded the table in anger.
"How did I teach you that your wife has to be coaxed, how can you be so cold-faced to others?
Just like you, a hundred women are pissed off by you.
He really has no future at all. He is far from the grandson of Mrs. Wang. She has had two of them in three years. "
Mrs. Lu snorted in disgust and left without looking back.
——
Over the weekend, Father Qiao was discharged from the hospital safely.
Han Zhiyi and Yan Xingcheng came over early in the morning to celebrate together.
I also bought a lot of Joey’s favorite dishes and cooked them myself.
Father Qiao looked at Joey sitting in a daze on the sofa and rubbed her head distressedly.
"I've worked hard on you lately. I'm fine now, and you quit your job. It's just a good time to go out and have some fun.
Didn't Xingcheng say he was going back to country F to handle a case?
You happened to be relaxing with her. In the past, your father didn't care enough about you, which made you suffer a lot.
Dad will pay attention in the future. "
My father's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
I want her to get out of the shadow of her last relationship and plunge into a new life.
Joey smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just need to rest at home for a few days. I must be very busy recently. I have to attend not only my classmates' weddings, but also the birthday party of my colleagues' children."
Don't worry, I will adjust myself. "
Father Qiao patted her shoulder meaningfully: "You are already married and have children, so you should go there and have some fun."
The father and daughter were chatting happily when the housekeeper suddenly ran in to report.
"Sir, miss, two men in uniform came outside, saying they were from the procuratorate and wanted to investigate some case."
The smile on Joey's face suddenly froze, and he sat up from the sofa suddenly.
She was worried that her father would be irritated, so she immediately comforted him: "Dad, let me go out and take a look. It might be Qiao Zimo's business."
Father Qiao is not stupid.
Qiao Zimo was just gambling, and the money had already been repaid, so whoever had the time to care about him would care.
He sighed and said, "Let them come in. What should come will eventually come."
The two people from the inspection agency briefly explained the matter, then looked at Joey and said, "This case is a commercial secret and involves a relatively large amount of money. We will take Mr. Qiao away today for investigation."
Joey has been suppressing certain emotions since the two came in until now.
Her nails dug into her flesh, and she felt nothing.
She looked at them with cold eyes: "My father was wronged, you can't take him away."
"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Qiao is currently just a subject of suspicion. It is normal for him to be investigated. We hope you will cooperate with us."
"How long will the investigation take?"
"It's hard to explain this kind of case. It's more difficult to obtain evidence. It may take a few days to a few months. It depends on what Lu says."
Joey's lips couldn't help but tremble.
If my father's body stays in a place like a prison, it will relapse within a few days. If he is not rescued in time, his life will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Joey's hatred for Lu Wenzhou deepened in his heart.
She suppressed her emotions and said, "My father is not in good health. I hope you can find a better environment for him."
"Don't worry, we will."
Joey's father was taken away, and the strength Joey had always pretended collapsed.
She staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground if Yan Xingcheng hadn't caught her in time.
Yan Xingcheng comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Uncle Qiao."
Han Zhi stamped his feet in the living room angrily: "Lu Wenzhou, that turtle bastard, he is not only wicked, he is also heartless. All the good things Yiyi did to him were eaten up by dogs!"
At this moment, Yan Xingcheng's cell phone rang.
He answered a few words and then hung up.
He looked at Joey solemnly: "There is news about the case between you and Song Qingya. If you don't apologize to Song Qingya in public, they will insist on charging you with intentional injury and the trial will be held next month."
Hearing her words, Han Zhiyi immediately hugged Joey and comforted him in a low voice: "Yiyi is not afraid, you still have us, Yan Xingcheng's father is the second in command in our city, and my family is also a top wealthy family in C City.
I don’t believe that the three of us can’t fight against that bitch Lu Wenzhou. "
Joey gradually calmed down.
She knew she couldn't rely on anyone else but herself.
Lu Wenzhou came here for her. If she didn't come forward, this matter would never be resolved. She couldn't let her father die in prison.
There was no way her friend would be implicated.
Yan Xingcheng's father is in a high position, and she cannot have any negative impact on him.
Han Zhiyi finally found her current stability because she escaped from marriage. There was no way she would let her go back to the family that forced her to marry a man she didn't like for her own sake.
Joey sat on the sofa and said nothing.
I sat quietly like this for more than two hours.
By the time Han Zhiyi and Yan Xingcheng brought out the food, Joey was no longer in the living room.
——
When Lu Wenzhou came out of the conference room, Chen Zhuo immediately lay in his ear and whispered in his ear.
"Mr. Lu, Madam has taken action. Mr. Qiao has been taken away. The court has also sent a notice to Secretary Qiao. The trial will be held on the 3rd of next month."
Lu Wenzhou paused, his deep eyes filled with cold light.
"Where is she?"
