When Qi Fengping got into trouble, the Qi family was shrouded in gloom and doom. Early in the morning, Father Qi set out with Qi Jianguo to Tong County to find that Zhou Qiang.
Cheng Su wasnât idle either. She went with Qi Fenglian to help Xiao Yun with the school transfer procedures. After giving out a few red envelopes, they managed to get everything sorted out in the morning. After all, in this day and age, even if you donât study, no one can say anything, let alone just handling a school transfer?
Returning home, Father Qi and Qi Jianguo hadnât come back yet. It wasnât until dusk that the father and son returned, but there was a bruise at the corner of Qi Jianguoâs mouth.
Cheng Su saw this and felt something wasnât right.
Father Qiâs face was pale. After taking a sip of water, his body wavered and nearly fell.
"Old man." Mother Qi quickly supported him: "Whatâs wrong with you, donât scare me."
Cheng Su and the rest also approached with concern, except for Qi Fengping, who stood timidly at the door, biting her lip, not daring to speak.
Father Qi waved his hand, saying: "Itâs nothing, just a bit dizzy."
Cheng Su took some medicated oil and applied a bit to his temples. Seeing him looking more spirited, she finally sighed in relief.
After all, heâs getting older, and running around while worrying about Qi Fengping would definitely leave him exhausted.
Cheng Su gave Qi Fengping a sharp glare.
"How did it go? Did you find him?" Qi Fenglian asked.
Qi Jianguo replied angrily, "We found him, but..." He glanced at Qi Fengping with both hatred and a fleeting look of sympathy and pity.
Qi Fengpingâs eyes lit up slightly: "When is he coming to propose?"
"What are you thinking? Heâs long been married!" Qi Jianguo replied coldly.
Qi Fengping was momentarily stunned.
Cheng Su sighed softly. As expected, the worst had happened. When she first heard there was another woman involved, she already felt uneasy, and seeing no news for so long, she thought that Zhou Qiang was just a scoundrel who happily left without responsibility!
"Impossible, he said he would marry me! He promised!" Qi Fengping screamed.
"Whatâs impossible? He went back, and his fiancĂ©e was waiting for him. They got married in June, you fool!" Qi Jianguo scolded.
Qi Fengpingâs face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground, saying: "Heâs married, then what about me? What about the child in my stomach?"
"Either you give birth and send the child to Zhou Qiang, or you raise it yourself, or you just get rid of it. What else can you do? Heâs denying any responsibility." Qi Jianguoâs face was filled with humiliation and distress.
The Zhou family was very aggressive, completely denying that the child in Qi Fengpingâs belly was Zhou Qiangâs. Zhou Qiang also said the two were consensual and later parted ways due to personality differences, leading Qi Jianguo to fight with Zhou Qiang, leaving a mark on his own face.
Father Qi glared at her hatefully and then turned to Cheng Su, saying: "Can you find Taiguo?"
"Iâll make a call right away." Cheng Su hurriedly walked toward the phone.
She dialed the number again, but still, no one answered. Cheng Su couldnât help but be puzzled. She dialed Qi Taiguoâs office number too, but it was still unanswered.
Just as she was about to hang up, someone picked up.
"Hello, is this Taiguo?"
"Deputy Battalion Commander Qi is not here at the moment. Who is this?" The voice was unfamiliar, likely someone from the communications unit.
Cheng Su identified herself, but the words from the communications person nearly made her drop the phone in shock.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Qi was injured in an explosion during a mission and is now recovering in the Capital. Didnât you know?"
"What did you say, injured?" Cheng Suâs voice suddenly rose.
The Qi family, hearing this, all looked over nervously. Who was injured? Was it Taiguo?
