The whole family was running around for Qi Fengpingās mess. Naturally, Father Qi had to find out Zhou Qiangās whereabouts. His reason was that he had previously asked Zhou Qiang for help and hadnāt thanked him yet, and now that heās gone, he just wanted to ask around.
Meanwhile, the Qi family was also in a state of gloom and doom.
Qi Fengping had long since hidden in her room, with such a carefree attitude that left Cheng Su speechless. Clearly, she was the one involved; she should be the most anxious, yet oddly, she seemed to care the least.
Is this ignorance being fearless?
Meanwhile, Mother Qi was cursing and fussing, disliked everyone she saw, and could lash out at anyone. Cheng Su stayed out of her way to avoid becoming her punching bag for no reason.
As soon as Father Qi came home, his face was dark and he gulped down several large glasses of water.
"So, whereās that bastard? Can you find him?" Mother Qi eagerly stepped forward to ask.
Qi Fengpingās door also opened, and she stood shrunk in the doorway, watching her father.
"Heās in Tong County, used to be an accountant, reportedly sent for reform due to embezzlement. As for whether heās married or not, Iām not sure yet, but I heard his family arranged a match for him!" Father Qi said with a grim face.
Cheng Suās eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"That bastard, he slept with my daughter, got her belly big, and still dares to marry someone else?" Mother Qi immediately started cursing.
Hearing these crude words, Cheng Suās face warmed slightly.
"Dad, are you sure Zhou Qiang went back to work in Tong County or what?" Cheng Su asked.
"I donāt know the details yet. Iām thinking of going to check tomorrow," Father Qi replied.
Cheng Su nodded, "Itās hard for you to go alone. How about I go with you tomorrow?"
"Iāll go with Dad, sister-in-law, youāre a woman," Qi Jianguo interjected.
"Let Jianguo go with me. Itās quite far to Tong County," Father Qi thought for a moment and agreed with Qi Jianguoās suggestion.
Cheng Su could only let it go, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Dad, do you think we should tell Taiguo about this? See what he thinks?"
"Yes, contact Taiguo," Mother Qi finally remembered, straightening her back with a jolt.
Such a big matter canāt be hidden from Qi Taiguo, and seeing Father Qi nod, Cheng Su made a call home. But she assumed Qi Taiguo, who she thought was in Qing City, was actually still recuperating in the Capital, so how could he answer her call?
No one answered at home, so Cheng Su called Qi Taiguoās office, but still no one answered, making her puzzled.
She glanced at her wristwatch, it was three oāclock, it didnāt make sense for him to be in training at this time.
"Whatās wrong, no answer?" Mother Qi asked anxiously, seeing Cheng Su hang up the phone.
Cheng Su recalled that Qi Taiguo had mentioned possibly going to holiday preparedness, so she said, "Heās not there, maybe he went for holiday preparedness, he should be back tomorrow!" She felt a slight unease, having just completed a mission and he still needed to go for holiday preparedness?
Mother Qi couldnāt hide her disappointment.
"Iāll call again later!" Cheng Su said.
"Forget it, letās go to Tong County tomorrow and see whatās going on before making any plans!" Father Qi said tiredly.
It could only be this way.
The whole family had not a trace of a smile, even the dinner was tasteless. After tidying up, they each returned to their rooms to rest. Yet when Cheng Su got up in the middle of the night, she found the lights still on in her in-lawsā room and could faintly hear their conversation, she couldnāt help but sigh.
When such a big thing happens, sleepless nights are inevitable.
Now the hope is that Zhou Qiang isnāt married yet, but even if he isnāt, would Qi Fengping really be happy marrying him?
