Chapter 839 Reminded In Time
If he had not seen the person that he met in real life on television in the evening, he would not have such a strong impression of him.
“Where?”
“The court,” Qiao Dongliang said. “Didn’t I get a divorce with your mom today? Your mom did not appear but the court declared the divorce successful given that there is sufficient evidence. After I collected the divorce certificate, just as I came out, I saw a huge bouquet of red flowers that were quite nice-looking. The director was holding it in his hands. However, very soon after, he smashed the flowers to the ground.”
Qiao Dongliang had not bought any flowers before but he knew how much these things cost.
That was such a huge bouquet of flowers and it would not be cheap. However, they had been smashed to the ground just like that. At the thought of the sum of money spent on these flowers, Qiao Dongliang felt his heart ache.
It was also because of this that Qiu Qin left a very deep impression on Qiao Dongliang. He was thus able to recognize at one look that the person in the television show was the one that he saw during the daytime.
“If I didn’t guess wrongly, he also went there to get a divorce. It seemed that he was the disagreeing party. He was running and chasing after a woman.” Perhaps because he felt more relieved now, Qiao Dongliang’s willingness to gossip leaped a little and he even shared such news with Qiao Nan.
“Woman… The more Qiao Nan thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. “Dad, wait for me for a while.”
Qiao Nan first knocked on the main door of the house of the Shi family and then asked Shi Qing to come out. “Why did you come at this time? Shouldn’t you be sleeping soon?” Shi Qing had already finished bathing and she was in her pajamas.
“Shi Qing, do you have a photo of your auntie at home? Quickly look for it now. Pass me one of the photos if you have it. It’s quite important. I’m worried that something bad is going to happen again!” Qiao Nan’s face was red with anxiety and she was sweating profusely. The earlier shower that she took was all wasted now.
Initially, Shi Qing even wanted to shoot a few questions. After all, how was Qi Minlan related to Qiao Nan?
Nevertheless, she seldom saw Qiao Nan behave in this way despite having known her for such a long time. Half a month ago, when Qiao Nan was held back while she was on her way to the college entrance examination, she only saw a determination in Qiao Nan’s eyes. She did not even seem as nervous as now. “You… you wait a while. You also know that my dad and I have only moved to Ping Cheng for slightly more than two years. I’ve also shifted more than once. I’m not sure if I have her photo at home. I’ll go and see if I can find
any.”
After spending a lot of effort, Shi Qing finally managed to find one photo. “Qiao Nan, take a look and see if this one is fine. Actually, this photo belongs to my dad. My mom felt that my dad looked extremely energetic when he was young and insisted that he brought this to Ping Cheng. She hoped that my dad would reminisce more about how he was like when he was young after he saw the photo.”
It was a black and white photo. As it was well kept, the people in the photo could be seen very clearly.
“Fine, this one then. Thank you very much.”
Qiao Nan left with the photo in her hand.
“Ah, can you at least give me an explanation?” Why did she suddenly ask for her auntie’s photo? Moreover, something bad? What was the bad thing that was going to happen?
Shi Qing went back into the house. She called her father as she changed her clothes. “Dad?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Dad, Qiao Nan insisted on asking me for a photo of my auntie just now. I found one photo that you took with her when you were young. Qiao Nan told me that something bad is going to happen. I’m a little worried, so I’m going next door to the Qiao family. I’m just telling you this first.” After the phone call, Shi Qing had also finished wearing her dress.
“Your auntie had a divorce with Qiu Qin today.” Shi Peng told her clearly. “Qiao Nan’s worries may indeed happen. I’ll get someone to check on it.”
“Divorce?” Shi Qing only came to her senses after the phone was hung up. “What? Something bad is really going to happen!”
When Shi Qing ran over to the house of the Qiao family, Qiao Dongliang had already finished with the recognition “Tsk… she resembles her slightly but she’s much older than her. This is the daughter of the woman that I saw today?”
“Woo…” Qiao Nan let out a breath and quickly gave Zhai Sheng a call. “Hello, I’m looking for Brother Zhai. I’m Qiao Nan. Hello, Brother Zhai. Today, Qi Minlan and Qiu Qin divorced successfully. They divorced so quickly. I’m worried that Qi Minlan may say something.”
Qiao Nan was not very clear about the situation of Qiu Qin’s family because Zhai Sheng had not told her specifically what had happened.
She only knew that Zhai Sheng was keeping a watch on the Qiu family and there was definitely something wrong with Qiu Qin.
Besides this, Qiao Nan also knew that Zhai Sheng and Qiu Chenxi had a transaction with each other.
Qiu Qin had a mistress outside. In addition, he was getting into some trouble. Hence, Qiu Chenxi would certainly not follow Qiu Qin.
Qi Minlan must have known about Qiu Qin’s situation through Qiu Chenxi to be able to get a divorce with Qiu Qin so swiftly and without much hesitation.
She was also a woman. A marriage may be short-lived but the couple’s affection may continue to run deep. At the moment when they parted with each other, what if Qi Minlan’s heart softened and she gave Qiu Qin a reminder? What should they do if Qiu Qin were to escape?
Qiu Qin must have committed a huge crime if Zhai Sheng had to be involved in the case. As such, Qiao Nan had to be very careful.
“Okay, I know now.” Zhai Sheng’s expression changed greatly. After hanging up the phone call with Qiao Nan, he made a few more calls.
When he heard the commotion in the house, Zhai Yaohui came out to take a look. He did not immediately ask what was happening. Instead, he quietly waited for Zhai Sheng to finish making a few phone calls.
After he finished making the calls, Zhai Yaohui already knew roughly what had happened. “You’ve been careless.”
“It should be that… I did not guess it right.” He had thought that Qiu Qin had a woman outside. Be it Qiu Chenxi or Qi Minlan, both should hate Qiu Qin to the core. Who would have known that a woman would be so irrational when they were emotional?
Clearly, after knowing that Qiu Qin would be in trouble soon, Qi Minlan could decisively choose to divorce him without any hesitation. However, at the last moment, she gave Qiu Qin a ‘kind’ reminder. This had increased the difficulty of his mission.
Ring!
At this moment, the phone in the Zhai family rang in a hurried tone again. “Hello, how is it? Okay, immediately stop him. Don’t let him leave Ping Cheng. More importantly, don’t let him leave the country. According to my investigation, he still has a few cultural relics in his hands.”
Regardless of whether these cultural relics were valuable, they were assets of the country and not Qiu Qin’s personal belongings. He could not just sell and take them as he wished.
“Okay, keep a tight watch on him. Don’t forget.” After hanging up the phone, Zhai Sheng looked a little sullen. “True enough, Qiu Qin tried to escape.”
He tried to do so with both the money and cultural relics.
“Double crime.” Zhai Yaohui gave a sneer. Could he still escape at this point in time? “You discovered it quite in time.”
Just as Qiu Qin was taking action, Zhai Sheng had already received the news?
“…” There was a flash of embarrassment on Zhai Sheng’s face. “Speaking of which, it’s also a coincidence. Today, the court has declared Uncle Qiao and Ding Jiayi officially divorced. When Uncle Qiao came out of the court, he coincidentally bumped into Qiu Qin, who was trying to win back Qi Minlan’s heart. He was giving her flowers. Tonight, there’s news of Qiu Qin appearing on television. Uncle Qiao recognized him when he watched television. Nan Nan asked him more and felt that something was amiss. She then gave me a call.”
In the past, Zhai Sheng did not believe that a woman would bring luck to her husband. It was superstitious, a feudal belief. As part of the generation of the new century, how could they hold such beliefs?
