Rifts in the Family: Marriage Under Lies

Page 133

Li Maohua is an old acquaintance here, and the taste has not changed, so much so that the boss of the teahouse has already given orders to his employees.

When the tea was served, Zhou Hao saw that Li Maohua didn't speak, he couldn't hold it anymore, and asked with a dry smile, "Lishi...Brother Maohua, is there something for you to ask me out alone?"

Li Maohua was very strange. Ever since he entered the private room, he had been standing in front of a landscape painting in the private room without speaking, just standing with his back facing him, as if deliberately testing Zhou Hao's patience.

"Can't bear it so soon? To be a qualified driver, you have to be calm in any situation, so that you can adapt to various possible traffic accidents. By the way, Zhou Hao, you have been driving for several years ?”

What Li Maohua asked was about driving, but it gave Zhou Hao a feeling that he was not drinking, and even a very uneasy premonition slowly emerged in his heart.

"Me? I have three years of driving experience. But Brother Maohua, don't worry, although I am not very experienced in driving, I can still pass the skills." Zhou Hao said bravely.

"Is that so, you mean to tell me that you didn't intend to harm me?" Li Maohua finally turned around and asked with a deep smile.

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat, harm him?What happened to Li Maohua today?Why do you always feel so mysterious?He...couldn't know something!

Zhou Hao felt a little unsure, but Li Maohua was indeed very strange.

"Brother Maohua, that's impossible. Thanks to you and my cousin for taking care of me, I can get such a good job. How could I harm you. Besides, I don't have the guts." Zhou Hao laughed dryly.

Li Maohua sat down with a soft smile, and poured Zhou Hao a cup of tea himself, which made Zhou Hao feel startled.It's not that he lacks concentration, nor is he timid, but that some people who have been in high positions all the year round seem to have developed an aura. Li Maohua gave Zhou Hao this feeling.A person who can't see through and is very deep, simply put, it is best to use a noun to describe him: old fox!

"Drink tea, I didn't see you drinking it seriously last night." Li Maohua said something unnutritious again, and Zhou Hao really felt that it was a bit of a headache to deal with these guys who were playing tricks all day long.

Bite the bullet and picked up the tea, he doesn't understand tea and can't drink every taste, to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person, he has enjoyed a lot of high-end things, but he doesn't have the heart to study it.

After taking a sip, when Zhou Hao put down the teacup, he suddenly found that Li Maohua was looking at him, and his eyes became a little sinister.

"Zhou Hao, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and Jing Qiu!"

Li Maohua's words shocked Zhou Hao's heart. Fortunately, Zhou Hao has not been a rookie in business for the past few years. Got it, don't you know that we are cousins?"

"Don't play these children's tricks in front of me. Jingqiu does have a relative with the surname Zhou from her aunt's family. Although I don't know how many children her aunt's family has, there is absolutely no one like you! Jingqiu and I I knew her when I was young, and I know her family very well, so you better not lie to me!"

In fact, Li Maohua began to suspect Zhou Hao last night, but he never said it out loud.He purposely called out Zhou Hao alone, in order to let Zhou Hao tell the truth.

Zhou Hao's mood was almost extremely nervous at the moment, and there was a voice in his head that kept saying, Li Maohua already knew, there was no need to hide it anymore!If we continue to hide it, maybe it will arouse his hostility, and even entrap Xu Jingqiu!

"Aren't you going to be honest?" Li Maohua squinted his eyes and said, Zhou Hao must not be able to hold back what was in those eyes, and said:

"Mayor Li is really sorry. The thing is like this. In fact, I have something to ask you, so I begged Jingqiu to let her match me up! If you are unhappy with us, I hope you can only blame me. This matter has nothing to do with Miss Jingqiu at all!"

"It's not a matter of you and me negotiating conditions. In fact, it's not that you have shown any flaws. It's that you have forgotten that Haishi is not a big place. I really want to check someone. There is nothing I can't find. Tell me. , how did you and her know each other, and what is the relationship." The coldness in Li Maohua's eyes began to fade away slowly.

Zhou Hao was making decisions in his heart, it was impossible for him to tell the truth, and Li Maohua's self-confidence was not necessarily in Zhou Hao's opinion, he could not know those photos, and it was impossible for Zhou Hao to share the photos. Saying it out, that would really annoy Li Maohua!

As he was thinking about it, his thoughts turned quickly, and finally he came up with an idea and said with a smile: "Actually, Sister Jingqiu and I saw her being harassed in a bar, so I did a little favor." I know each other. Later, something happened to me, so I wanted to find her as a matchmaker, hoping to get in touch with you, Mayor Li, so I hope Mayor Li can see my sincerity and do me a favor!"

Zhou Hao is taking a risk, taking a risk that is almost impossible for many people, even breaking the boat!

After saying these words, his back felt chills, but he kept forcing himself to hold his breath.After finishing speaking, Li Maohua didn't pause for a few seconds before saying annoyedly: "I have reminded her to avoid going to those entertainment places, those places are not a place of peace, something will happen sooner or later! Hmph, it's okay Why go abroad to live, and learn the open-mindedness that doesn't work in China if you don't learn anything else!"

Li Maohua's words of reproach meant that Zhou Hao's heart slowly fell, he was just betting that the relationship between Li Maohua and Xu Jingqiu was as he thought and there was still old love!I even bet that Li Maohua didn't know much, he was just doubting himself!

Li Maohua's words proved that he made the right bet and got away with it!Just imagine, how could someone at Li Maohua's level have the time to dig out all the details about Zhou Hao?

Chapter 231 True and False (Part [-])

Zhou Hao took such a daring gamble. He was glad that he was lucky with himself, but he didn't know that the reason why Li Maohua believed his words was because Li Maohua knew Xu Jingqiu too well.

Except for elementary school, Li Maohua and Xu Jingqiu are both in the same school in junior high school and high school.Perhaps because of years of getting along with each other, Li Maohua and Xu Jingqiu fell into a deep love in the period when they first fell in love in high school.This is their first love for each other, and first love is like sugar in their mouths.Maybe if you wrap it and don't move it, it won't produce any sweetness.But once the tongue rolls a few times, the sweetness will fill the whole mouth.

Although Li Maohua became a civil servant after graduating from university, Xu Jingqiu chose to work in other places, but the two never really and clearly said that they severed their relationship from the beginning to the end.Except a few years after graduation, Xu Jingqiu suddenly called and said that she was getting married. Only then did Li Maohua know that the long-distance love race of several years was lost to time and distance.

Li Maohua did not go to Xu Jingqiu's wedding at that time, but called Xu Jingqiu not long after that he was getting married too, and the object of marriage was his boss' daughter.

After getting married one after another, the two almost cut off any contact and lived each other's lives until Xu Jingqiu suddenly returned to Haishi a few years ago and met Li Maohua by chance.The sugar-like sweet feeling of first love hits my heart again, and the old love rekindles, which is out of control.And Xu Jingqiu, whose marriage failed, became more dependent on Li Maohua, and Li Maohua liked the feeling that Xu Jingqiu was so dependent on herself, because Xu Jingqiu was always better than him during the years when they were separated in different places. In Li Maohua's heart, he also thought that Xu Jingqiu felt that He has no future, so he changed his mind!

In this way, the two began to continue the sweet period again, and then began to transition to the dull period, to the current numb period.Just like many couples who have been married for many years, each other's bodies are not attractive to each other, and it is more of a relationship.

To say that feelings are not delicate and artificial, but a kind of family affection transformed from love.Li Maohua has loved Xu Jingqiu very much for so many years, even though he has no expectations for her body.

Zhou Hao only knew on the surface that he didn't know the deeper relationship between Li Maohua and Xu Jingqiu, so when he secretly called it a fluke, Li Maohua didn't question his words.Because Xu Jingqiu really likes to go to nightclubs, and he has been harassed before, but he has never doubted Xu Jingqiu's loyalty to him from the beginning to the end. He would only think that Zhou Hao was making things up!

So, Zhou Hao was completely blind and met a dead mouse.

Of course, Li Maohua didn't completely believe Zhou Hao, not to mention that Zhou Hao also said to help: "Zhou Hao, I will confirm what you said, and I will never put anyone with evil intentions around me." .Also, you just asked me for help, what's the matter?"

It was the most critical time, Zhou Hao took a deep breath, and said without slackening: "Mayor Li, I have an enemy, Zhao Dongjian!"

Li Maohua's face was startled when he heard it, and finally his face became more playful, and he said meaningfully: "Oh? Zhao Dongjian is an unusual character in Haishi. I'm curious what enmity you have with him?"

"He once sent people to try to kill me, but I survived by chance, and he also sent people to lurk in my company to plot evil! I also know that he is a very unusual person in Haishi, but I have been stared at by him. If I don't bite him, he will bite me!" Zhou Hao didn't say the hatred of taking his wife, but said another thing that was true and worthy of his revenge.

Li Maohua is not a fool. He can see that Zhou Hao has something hard to say, and his brows are slightly frowned. He doesn't care how Zhou Hao and Zhao Dongjian got into trouble. What he cares about is that someone who has a grudge against Zhao Dongjian will come to him?Could it be that he and people from Zhao Dongjian's camp are hostile to everyone?

This is a bad sign!

Zhao Dongjian has a lot of contacts in Haishi. The biggest reason is the foundation laid by his father. Speaking of Zhao Dongjian's father, he is also an aristocratic figure in Jiang Province.Coming from a famous family and entering an official career, the most important thing is that Zhao Dongjian's father succeeded in succeeding in the competition of the older generation of the Zhao family.Although they stepped back from their positions a few years ago, the Zhao family was already a well-known business family before that, so the Zhao family could be said to be a big tiger entrenched in Jiang Province.After he abdicated, Zhao Dongjian took over the commander-in-chief, and relied on his father's connections to establish relationships with various powerful figures in Haishi. Among them, he was a consortium supporter of Li Maohua's biggest opponent for promotion this time!

If Zhao Dongjian could be defeated, it would be able to remove a thorn in Li Maohua's heart!

"Then why did you bite him?" Li Maohua withdrew his thoughts and asked again with a smile.

"Mayor Li, I don't know if you know that there is a clubhouse in Shenghua Mountain on the outskirts of Haishi? That clubhouse is actually a prostitution place, and the owner behind the scenes is Zhao Dongjian!" Zhou Hao was talking about "wife's paradise", although he He didn't understand why Li Maohua asked him like this, but his instinct was that Li Maohua wanted him to show his sincerity!Of course, until now he has no intention of betraying Xu Jingqiu.It's just telling Li Maohua that there is such a place, and the latter will not think of Xu Jingqiu.Even if he wanted to show those photos, Zhou Hao would remove the part of Xu Jingqiu, and even other women with sensitive identities.

And as soon as he finished speaking, Li Maohua's expression changed slightly, and he said, "As much as you know, tell me!"

"The apparent person in charge of that clubhouse is a woman named Mi Yunyan, but Mi Yunyan is only running errands for Zhao Dongjian, and according to my long-term investigation, it is very likely that Zhao Dongjian has been hiding behind the scenes. But as the saying goes Well said, there is no airtight wall, and his traces will always be found!"

"That's not enough, Zhou Hao, even if that kind of crime really falls on Zhao Dongjian, it won't have much effect. If you want revenge, you must be able to completely suppress him without moving, otherwise you will be worse than him." It's even more unlucky." Li Maohua said calmly, but he didn't think his words made Zhou Hao seize the opportunity.The former's words are already obvious, that is, he also wants to touch Zhao Dongjian!

Zhou Hao was overjoyed, and then said: "Mayor Li, if you are really willing to investigate, I will be responsible for helping you find Mi Yunyan. Although she seems to be crazy now, I'm sure she is probably It's just pretending. If Mi Yunyan can speak up and testify, he will definitely come up with more things!"

"Well, bring that woman to see me when the time comes. I want to see her in person." Li Maohua was silent for a while and just replied lightly. Zhou Hao was somewhat discouraged by his indifference.But Zhou Hao was not discouraged either, at least he found hope with Li Maohua, and if there is hope, he must persevere!

He didn't talk to Li Maohua any more, and Li Maohua said "the tea is cold", Zhou Hao also understood that Li Maohua was ordering to evict the guests.After saying goodbye to him, Zhou Hao left Qingfeng Teahouse with hope in mind.

It's just that what Zhou Hao didn't expect from the beginning to the end was that Xu Jingqiu came out of another private room with a face of fear as soon as he left.

Li Maohua didn't look up to look at Xu Jingqiu, but lowered his head and said, "You keep biting him as your distant relative, but Zhou Hao told me that he just saved you, Jingqiu, tell me which of you two is telling the truth of?"

Chapter 232 Seeing His Wife Finally

Zhou Hao left Qingfeng Tea House, but he began to calm down after being pleasantly surprised.

Li Maohua probably looked for Xu Jingqiu before coming to me, right?It's just why Xu Jingqiu didn't tell me in advance?

Li Maohua's temptation was without warning, so that Zhou Hao was not mentally prepared to touch a dead mouse like a blind cat.From Li Maohua's words, he noticed that the other party didn't really trust him, but Li Maohua wanted to deal with Zhao Dongjian, he was absolutely sure!
