Rifts in the Family: Marriage Under Lies

Page 208

Listening to his father's words, Li Man's expression turned pale and he couldn't speak a word for a moment.She knew very well that her father's outburst this time was not all because of Zhou Hao's phone calls with him before, it was because of her father's resentment towards Zhou Hao over the past few years, thinking that he was not worthy to be the son-in-law of the Li family at all.What's more, now that Li Man helped Zhou Hao start his business, Li Zhonghe looked down on Zhou Hao even more. Seeing that he would retire sooner or later, the company could not be handed over to outsiders, but his son-in-law did not meet his requirements.

So Li Zhonghe began to forcibly intervene in his daughter's marriage in order to hand over his company to someone he was satisfied with!

Chapter 351 The hidden enemy is Li Maohua? (one)

The departure of his wife made Zhou Hao rarely alone at home.

Without a woman's home, men are always so casual.When he got home, he looked at the deserted kitchen. Although there were vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, Zhou Hao didn't bother to cook.

After taking a shower, Zhou Hao glanced at his phone and was about to call Li Man, but after thinking about it, he put the phone back in his pocket.

Maybe she'll call herself later!

Zhou Hao didn't call Li Man, but packed up and prepared to go out for dinner.Locking the door of the house and driving away, there are no restaurants he likes in the area where he lives.After a busy day, what he hopes most is a bowl of delicious food, so Zhou Hao drove a little further to a Sichuan restaurant.

After finishing dinner bored by himself, Zhou Hao left the restaurant and drove back slowly.

But what he never expected was that shortly after driving away from the Sichuan Restaurant, he saw a very familiar Beetle passing by on the road!

There are not many cars of this type, but the license plate number will always be one!

It's Xu Jingqiu's car!

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Hao turned around at an intersection, and then chased after Xu Jingqiu's car not far ahead.

After chasing for a few minutes, they found Xu Jingqiu's car parked at the door of a bar. Zhou Hao followed up and saw the door of the Beetle open. As expected, it was Xu Jingqiu!

Just as he was about to get out of the car and go forward to stop Xu Jingqiu, Zhou Hao still held back.Xu Jingqiu hadn't answered his calls for the past two days. If she approached her now, she probably wouldn't bother with her, and might just walk away.

Zhou Hao has a lot of doubts in his heart and needs Xu Jingqiu to help him answer them. It is not a good choice to find them easily now.

After waiting for Xu Jingqiu to get out of the car, lock the door and enter the bar, Zhou Hao went down and followed into the bar.

It is not yet eight o'clock in the evening, and for a nightclub like a bar, it has just opened its doors for business.The inside of the bar was deserted, but the dim light inside was a good cover for Zhou Hao.

After Xu Jingqiu sat at a table and ordered a few bottles of beer, she drank silently by herself, and occasionally picked up her phone to look at it, but it was obvious that she was bored.

Zhou Hao was some distance away from Xu Jingqiu. When he looked at Xu Jingqiu, he was very hesitant: Why did she come out to play so early?And she seems to be in a bad mood, should I talk to her now?

This hesitation made Zhou Hao wait from less than eight o'clock until after nine o'clock.Xu Jingqiu had already drank three or four bottles of beer during this period.She has a good capacity for alcohol. Zhou Hao knows it very well, but he can't bear to drink dryly.And what surprised Zhou Hao was that during the period, someone went to strike up a conversation with Xu Jingqiu, but when Xu Jingqiu looked up, the person walked away.

Although Zhou Hao didn't often come to such a place to play, he also knew that there were a lot of wolves in it. Generally speaking, people who strike up a conversation don't give up so easily, right?Xu Jingqiu is not ugly.

Finally, Zhou Hao couldn't bear his curiosity and walked towards Xu Jingqiu's seat.With her head down, Zhou Hao walked to the table and couldn't help but joke: "Beauty, can I sit together?"

In a daze, Xu Jingqiu felt that the voice was a little familiar, and when she raised her head, her expression froze slightly: "Zhou Hao, why is it you?!"

Zhou Hao didn't speak, but was shocked by the big bruise on Xu Jingqiu's forehead.

No wonder someone came to strike up a conversation before and left as soon as they saw Xu Jingqiu looking up. It turned out that it was because of the large bruise on her head that spread to the corner of her eyes. At this moment, Xu Jingqiu did not look very beautiful. On the contrary, she looked a little scary.

"What's going on on your forehead?!" The inexplicable Zhou Hao was a little angry, and asked while sitting down.

Xu Jingqiu's eyes immediately dodged, but soon she said in a bad tone; "You don't need to take care of my affairs, didn't I tell you, Zhou Hao, that we will not meet again in the future?!"

"You haven't answered my question yet!" Out of his friend's concern, Zhou Hao cared about Xu Jingqiu's injury.

"When I went downstairs, I accidentally sprained my foot and hit my forehead on the stairs. Well, I've already answered you, and now you can go." Xu Jingqiu said coldly.

For some reason, Zhou Hao always felt that there was something wrong with Xu Jingqiu.Even if the two of them tacitly agreed not to meet each other again, even so, they wouldn't be so merciless as soon as they met!

"Since we met, let's have a drink together." Zhou Hao did not leave, but smiled faintly.He also didn't chase after the wound on Xu Jingqiu's forehead, although he didn't think Xu Jingqiu really hit the stairs in his heart.

However, what Zhou Hao didn't expect was that Xu Jingqiu actually mentioned that there was still an unfinished bottle of beer and turned around to leave.

Zhou Hao frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Jingqiu, do you have to be so desperate?!"

Xu Jingqiu paused, turned around and said with a sneer: "Zhou Hao, if you hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have had anything to do with you at all. Now you've finished using me, and I've finished using you too. Should we break up now? And we really don't want to meet again, it's good for you and me."

"But now that we've met, it's okay to sit down and have a glass of wine, right? And I have something very important to ask you, can you sit down and talk about it?" Zhou Hao said patiently.

"I don't know anything, you better not follow me, or I will call the police!" Xu Jingqiu said without losing face.

Hearing her say that, Zhou Hao was even more sure that Xu Jingqiu had a problem. Even if the two agreed not to meet each other, it didn't mean a breakup!

Regardless of Xu Jingqiu, Zhou Hao followed her to another table, and Xu Jingqiu said angrily, "You think I dare not call the police, do you?!"

"Of course I know you dare, but I also know you won't. Xu Jingqiu, I just want to know what you mean when you called me that day to tell me to be careful? And what happened to the injury on your forehead? Is it Li Maohua? Hit you?!"

Falling down the stairs can be serious or light, and you may have a bruised nose and a swollen face, but Zhou Hao could see clearly that Xu Jingqiu's eyes kept dodging when he said this, as if he didn't want to mention it on purpose.

"Zhou Hao, you bastard, you're going to force me, okay, I'll call the police and show you right now!" Xu Jingqiu picked up her mobile phone angrily and was about to call the police, Zhou Hao snatched the phone away depressed , took her hand and asked:

"Did Li Maohua hit you?!"

"Yes, what's wrong with him beating me? You don't want to avenge me, do you? Hehe, Zhou Hao, who are you? Why do you care about me? Also, even if I tell you that Li Maohua beat me , do you dare to avenge me? You are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and you cannot protect yourself. I advise you to stop having any contact with me, otherwise you may cause more trouble!"

Xu Jingqiu drank in embarrassment, but Zhou Hao was terrified when he heard the words, horrified at Xu Jingqiu who was really beaten by Li Maohua, and even more horrified at Xu Jingqiu's last words.

Why did she say that the more contact with her, the more dangerous? !

Chapter 352 The hidden enemy is Li Maohua? (two)

"What do you mean? Do you know who announced my affairs? We both know each other, right? Is it Li Maohua?!"

Zhou Hao grabbed Xu Jingqiu's hand and asked questions one after another. Since Xu Jingqiu said this, it must have something to do with his affairs. Perhaps the person who was exposed was not just Zhong Zhenyu, but someone else before and after. !

who's that person?Xu Jingqiu knew him, he knew him, so Li Maohua was the only one!

Although he couldn't believe this possibility, it's not that he didn't do anything wrong to Li Maohua, because he and Xu Jingqiu couldn't erase the ridiculous night!

No matter what, there is no way to erase the fact that he fell in love with Li Maohua's woman!If Li Maohua really knew about this matter, then he would be full of reasons to deal with himself.

It's just that Zhou Hao still resists this possibility in his heart, because he called yesterday, and Li Maohua personally told him to clear up those troubles for him.Then Zhong Zhenyu came out again, that's why things got worse!

Could it be that Li Maohua bought Zhong Zhenyu?But is it necessary for him to come out after solving it like this?

Zhou Hao couldn't understand the reason why Li Maohua did this. At this time, he was not sure whether Li Maohua did it. He had to wait for Xu Jingqiu to answer his question!

Xu Jingqiu said what she said before, but she regretted it as soon as she said it. She quickly turned the conversation and said, "I don't know if he did it, but I just want to tell you that our cooperation is over. And you know Who am I, and what happened to us? If Li Maohua knew about us, do you think he would let us go? Zhou Hao, I really do it for your own good. We don't want to have any more contact. Just take it as me begging you?!"

Zhou Hao still let go of Xu Jingqiu's hand. Although Xu Jingqiu changed his words again, he regarded Li Maohua as the most likely suspect in his mind at this moment.

It's just that Li Maohua wanted to deal with him, why did he use such a despicable and shameless method?Moreover, he is now the nominal leader of Haishi official circles, so it is too unreasonable to play the game of exposing and ruining people's reputation.

If Zhou Hao knew that Li Maohua was not very sure about Zhou Hao and Xu Jingqiu, then he could understand!

Xu Jingqiu is a sensible person now, but she can't say anything, she can only pray for Zhou Hao and hope that Li Maohua can only reach this level.
