A valuable wealthy area in Beijing.
The four-story villa stands majestically and magnificently at the innermost part of the wealthy area. The exterior of the villa is white and has a European style. It looks very grand from the outside.
Zhu Pengda had just returned home after running around outside all day.
He took off his coat and handed it to the servant who came up to help him get his slippers, then he unzipped his collar and walked inside, saying as he walked, "When I just came back, I saw a car just driving out of the house. Who came to the house?"
Mrs. Zhu looked very worried, holding her cell phone, and no one knew what she was thinking about. She didn't even notice that Zhu Pengda had returned.
Zhu Pengda saw that her face looked strange and felt a little uneasy. His intuition told him that something had happened.
Without bothering to loosen his tie, he strode up to his wife and asked her in a deep, authoritative voice, "Who's visiting? Your friend?"
"I… "
Mrs. Zhu is nearly fifty years old, but she is well maintained. Her facial features look very gentle, and at first glance she looks like a person who doesn't have much of her own opinion.
This is also true.
In daily life, she almost always obeys her husband and never talks back. Mrs. Zhu's gentle, respectful and frugal character makes her every man's dream wife.
"What's going on?" Zhu Pengda saw that she was uneasy and didn't dare to look at him, so he became more uneasy: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Mrs. Zhu's eyes were already red.
Zhu Pengda looked at her like this. After all, they had been married for decades and had a son. It would be a lie to say that they had no feelings for each other.
He didn't have the heart to let his old wife cry again, so he put his hand on Mrs. Zhu's shoulder and said in a much softer tone than before: "Okay, don't cry. I don't mean to be angry with you. I'm just in a bad mood these days. Don't think too much."
Zhu Yuanhao is still being held in the detention center.
He ran around everywhere but couldn't get the person out. How could he not be depressed
Zhu Pengda patted her shoulder again and comforted her, "I know you haven't been able to eat or sleep these days because of Hao'er's matter. Don't worry too much. You still have to take care of yourself. I'm already thinking of a way to deal with Hao'er's matter."
Madam Zhu felt more guilty when she heard him say that. She raised her head and whispered timidly after a long while, "I, I asked someone to hit Qiao Nian."
Zhu Pengda had his hand on her shoulder a second ago, patiently comforting her softly.
Hearing what Mrs. Zhu said, he suspected that he had misheard. He took his hand away and raised his voice sharply: "What did you say?!"
Mrs. Zhu was startled and stammered, "I, when I think of Hao'er still being held in the detention center and suffering because of her, my heart aches like a knife. I feel really bad, and I..."
"You just asked someone to hit Qiao Nian?!" Zhu Pengda was almost mad at her. His face turned green with anger. He pointed at her nose with his fingertips shaking. "Are you mentally ill? Why didn't you discuss this with me?"
Mrs. Zhu's eyes were red again. She lowered her head and wiped away her tears, crying: "Our son has been detained in the detention center for almost a week. He has never suffered since he was a child. I am so angry that I..."
Zhu Pengda was almost speechless: "That's because he was stupid and had no brains, so he was used as a gun by others. If he was smart, he wouldn't be used like a fool!" "Didn't I tell you before that Qiao Nian was not the mastermind of this matter? The reason he ended up like this is because of his stupidity and Jiang Xianrou! If Jiang Xianrou hadn't instigated him, would he have hired someone to steal the USB flash drive? Zhu Yuanhao has fallen to this point, to put it bluntly, it's all because of a woman!"
"But Hao Er never got into trouble no matter how naughty he was before, but when he met her...something like this happened."
"That's because he wants to please Jiang Xianrou! What does it have to do with Qiao Nian?" Zhu Pengda was so angry at her unreasonable words that he went crazy.
"… "
Mrs. Zhu did not dare to argue with him on the surface, but she disagreed in her heart.
She called Jiang Xianrou yesterday, and Jiang Xianrou kept comforting her on the phone, saying frankly that she didn't know Zhu Yuanhao hired someone to steal the USB drive, and that if she knew Zhu Yuanhao would be impulsive, she would definitely stop him at that time...
Jiang Xianrou was extremely sincere when she explained to her on the phone.
Mrs. Zhu didn't think that this matter had a direct relationship with Jiang Xianrou. After all, it was all because of the girl who came from the ring road.
"What kind of attitude is that? Do you still think you are doing the right thing?"
Seeing that she was still pouting in dissatisfaction, Zhu Pengda almost couldn't breathe, his eyes turned black, and he was so angry that he passed out.
But the incident had already happened, and he could not care to blame anyone. His fingertips were trembling as he said to the crying Mrs. Zhu, "Do you know that Ye Lan's birthday party was not held at noon today? The entire Ye family, including the relatives from other branches, all rushed to the First Hospital of the City."
Not just the Ye family.
He knew of several more.
Zhu Pengda took a deep breath, knowing that his wife and children had exposed the truth in Beijing. His face darkened, and he continued, "On my way back, I was still thinking about what happened, but as soon as I got back, you told me that you hired someone to hit Qiao Nian. You, you really are, marrying an unvirtuous wife, hurting others and yourself!"
Mrs. Zhu had been honest and dutiful all her life. She was often described as gentle and virtuous. Suddenly, she was accused of being unvirtuous. Tears of grievance began to fall again. She stretched out her hand to wipe her tears in grievance. Her voice was as small as a mosquito's. She defended herself in a low voice: "I, I just feel sorry for Hao'er. She is a country girl who came from the outside of the city. Why should Hao'er go to jail?"
"I was so angry that I wanted to teach her a lesson... Hao'er has been in the detention center for a week without anyone seeing him, but she is living freely outside. I really can't swallow this..."
"So the Zhu family will die with you!"
Zhu Pengda's eyes rolled back, and he felt dizzy. He reached out to hold on to the table next to him and managed to stand up. He didn't faint from her words. "Did you know that Young Master Ye has a girlfriend? Did you know that the unsophisticated Qiao Nian you mentioned is Young Master Ye's legendary girlfriend? Look at how much the Ye family cares about her. I'm afraid that Old Master Ye has already recognized this granddaughter-in-law. You did something like this... Aren't you courting death? Do you think we're unlucky enough this time or are you tired of living?"
Zhu Pengda's words frightened Mrs. Zhu. She stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said in surprise, "It's not that serious, right?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly!" Zhu Pengda was so angry that his face turned blue. He barely grasped the armrest of the table, calmed himself down, looked at his wife and asked sternly: "You are at home all day and don't know anyone. Where did you find someone to bump into Qiao Nian?"
