Qiao Nian turned his head, his bright black eyes swept across her, and he said in a nonchalant tone: "Sorry, the other party rejected the moral kidnapping you threw at him."
Mother Zhou: “…”
"You may not have asked about me." Qiao Nian did not give her a chance to speak again, and continued in a very unscrupulous manner: "I have no morals."
This means that they are not going to let Dai Jiaqi go... Zhou's mother was sweating profusely and opened her mouth: "Qiao Nian..."
"That's enough!" Mrs. Zhou finally interrupted her in a deep voice, looking at her sternly: "Have you had enough? Dai Jiaqi is your niece, so Xuxing is not your son? Besides, is this your family affair? What she did has exceeded the scope of family affairs! Even if you want to protect her, you have to look at what she has done. The world does not revolve around her, and it can't revolve around you either!"
Zhou's mother was so anxious that her face turned pale and she felt a burning sensation. She looked at the old lady with a very aggrieved look and said, "But Mom, Jiaqi is my niece. She came out with me..." How could she explain to her sister if she didn't take her back properly
Old Madam Zhou interrupted her sternly: "I told you not to bring her out from the beginning. Did you listen to my advice?"
Mother Zhou was extremely embarrassed and looked at Father Zhou again. This time she really asked for help. If Father Zhou was still unwilling to help her, she would be too embarrassed to stay here.
Father Zhou saw the helpless look in his wife's eyes, and supported Old Lady Zhou with his head held high: "Mom..."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Zhou has the bearing of a cultured person but still has aura. When she gets angry, few people dare to pull her teeth out of her mouth.
With just a few words, she suppressed the middle-aged couple so much that they dared not speak. Then she took a deep breath, put away her domineering attitude, and nodded to the girl.
"They are ignorant. I apologize to you on their behalf."
"nothing."
Qiao Nian couldn't really accept the old lady's apology, so she slightly bowed to avoid the old lady from bowing to her. She was not a person who couldn't figure things out. An elder like Old Lady Zhou who had devoted her whole life to the country was as worthy of respect as Old Man Wei.
Besides, Mrs. Zhou didn't intend to cover up for anyone throughout the whole process. It's just that she is old and may not be able to take care of everything.
Mrs. Zhou could see her subconsciously avoiding the respectful behavior, and sighed with guilt. She paused and said, "Everyone has been busy for Xuxing's affairs for so long, and even came all the way from China to Country M. I see all the hard work you have put in. On behalf of Zhou Xuxing, I would like to thank everyone."
She turned around and nodded to all the people in the law firm, expressing the Zhou family's gratitude.
The others had the same reaction as Qiao Nian and avoided her, not really accepting the courtesy from Mrs. Xia Zhou.
Regardless of whether they could accept it or not, Mrs. Zhou still expressed her apology and gratitude in a decent manner. Finally, she stood up and her eyes, which were tinged with the years, fell on the girl in the crowd. After just one glance, she returned to Qiao Nian.
Old Mrs. Zhou expressed her attitude.
"The Zhou family will not interfere with everyone's actions to catch thieves. No matter who stole the document bag, even if it is my son, I support them to do what they want to do."
Dai Jiaqi panicked and said immediately: "Grandma, I didn't steal... I just picked up the document bag. I didn't know the things in the document bag were important, so I took it away."
Even Zhou's mother might not believe her excuse which was full of loopholes, so how could Old Lady Zhou believe her
"When Qiao Nian and the others were looking for the file bag, did they ask you? Did they tell you that they had lost a file bag containing the lawsuit materials compiled by Mr. Michelle?"
