Chapter 268: Rental Trap
Chapter 268: Rental Trap
When the female police officer heard little Jiye calling Aunt Zhou "Grandma", she remembered that the person imprisoned inside was Zhou Jiye's father, and naturally thought that Zhou Zihang was the son of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou.
She was filled with righteous indignation: "If you ask me, your son really went too far. Beating such a young child to death is enough to warrant a prison sentence."
"Sentence this bastard!"
Aunt Zhou cried, "He is not our son!"
She choked up and recounted her story with Zhou Zihang.
The female police officer now hated Zhou Zihang even more: "How can such a person be qualified to work at a university? He's not even worthy of being a human being!"
In the end, because of Zhou Jieye's insistence, Zhou Zihang was detained for half a month.
The female police officer, out of kindness, called in a classmate from a law firm for help: "This child is so pitiful, having such a beastly father. I've found someone to help you sue, deprive that beast of his custody, and then make up for the child support owed over the years."
Upon hearing this, the old couple, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, expressed their gratitude profusely.
"Thanks to you, comrade police officer! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that custody could be revoked."
Uncle Zhou's eyes were red. There are still many good people in this world.
Although their family was severely damaged by the beast Zhou Zihang, they also met many people who sincerely helped them.
The female police officer smiled and hugged Xiao Jiye: "It's because I get along well with this child. If you don't mind, you can recognize me as your godmother."
So, female police officer Ma Meiying officially became Xiao Jiye's godmother.
While Ma Yingmei, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou and their lawyer were discussing how to file the lawsuit, Wei Shuqing's family was also busy.
Wei Shuqing and Zhou Yanran chose a house together. It was right near the vegetable market. There were several residential compounds around it. The location was very good and there was a lot of traffic, making it suitable for opening a fruit shop.
What's even better here is that in addition to a big house, there are also two small houses.
"That's great now. The front can be used as a shop, and the back has a bedroom and a kitchen. Everything is solved in one go."
Wei Shuqing is very satisfied with the environment here.
Zhou Yanran also liked it: "Besides, the decoration here is also very good. After a little paint, we can open a store directly. This is the place, but the rent may be a bit high."
"One dollar a year is indeed a considerable amount. But compared to other places, it's not expensive." Wei Shuqing was very objective.
"That's right." Zhou Yanran smiled. "Thank you, Mom, for helping me look after the store. We'll bring Uncle to see it later."
However, as soon as Wei Shuqing and the others left the store, it was directly rented by Meng Ruhua.
The landlord told Wei Shuqing the news with regret. Wei Shuqing just thought it was funny and took Zhou Yanran to see a few more houses. They all rented out the same way Meng Ruhua did.
Zhou Yanran was furious: "No, she's sick, she has to follow us all the time, and she rents whatever we like."
In the final analysis, Wei Shuqing and Zhou Yanran suffered the loss of not being able to pay directly. After all, the final decision on the house still had to be made by Uncle Zhou.
The older you get, the wiser you become. Compared to the furious Zhou Yanran, Wei Shuqing was calm and composed.
She poured Zhou Yanran a cup of Kung Fu tea. The tea set on the table was made by a master, and the tea she brewed was also an old-fashioned Laobanzhang.
"Why are you so angry? We just lost a little time. Meng Ruhua spent real money. She's willing to compete, isn't she? Let her continue to compete."
Hearing this, Zhou Yanran immediately understood what Wei Shuqing meant: "I know, Mom, you are still smart!"
So, after eating and drinking, Wei Shuqing took Zhou Yanran to check into a hotel.
This time they were not so targeted. They looked at all the door curtains for rent nearby, especially those that their own family did not rent out.
Meng Ruhua was indeed following him like a shadow, and rented the house right after him.
At the end of the day, Wei Shuqing and Zhou Yanran, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were extremely tired. But when Wei Shuqing thought about renting out her shop, she couldn't help but smile.
"Yanran, you've worked so hard today." Wei Shuqing waved her hand and said, "Mom will take you to a spa."
Spas are a rare thing nowadays, specially designed to cater to the needs of rich ladies and young ladies.
Zhou Yanran was not polite to her mother-in-law: "Let's go, Mom. We have worked so hard today, we need to relax."
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and enjoyed life happily and easily.
Meng Ruhua was really tired at this time. She had someone drive a car to follow Wei Shuqing for a whole day, for fear of losing her. She didn't even have a good meal.
However, when she got home, Dai Shiliang was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
Because Dai Shiliang offended Wei Shuqing, his business was not going well and he became thinner. His eye sockets became sunken, his nasolabial folds became deeper, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
No matter how you look at it, he is no longer the handsome guy who makes people unable to take their eyes off him.
"What did you do today? Why did you spend so much money?"
Dai Shiliang and Meng Ruhua are nominally a couple, but in reality they are more like partners. They are wary of each other and have spies around each other.
The people Dai Shiliang placed with Meng Ruhua told him that Meng Ruhua rented more than 20 storefronts in one day this year.
"This is my own money. I can use it however I want. It's none of your business."
It is one thing for both parties to know that there is an espionage going on, but it is another thing to bring it to the surface.
This distrust was torn open and spoken directly, and coupled with being questioned, Meng Ruhua's face immediately darkened.
She is not a dodder who relies on Dai Shiliang to survive, and she also hopes that Dai Shiliang will put himself in the right position.
"Meng Ruhua, we're getting married soon. Don't I even have the right to ask about this?"
Dai Shiliang believed that since the two of them had decided to get married, Meng Ruhua's money was his money. He was hoping to use the money to make a comeback, and he couldn't let Meng Ruhua squander it like that.
"You have the right, but you can't ask for my pre-marital assets. I'm telling you the truth. There's no need to make any calculations. All my pre-marital assets will be left to my two children! What does it have to do with you, Dai Shiliang?! Don't say I used this money to rent a house. I just threw it around and used it to fill the sea. What does it have to do with you, Dai?!"
Meng Ruhua said coldly.
It makes me upset just thinking about it. If Dai Shiliang hadn't been so greedy and wanted to destroy someone else's base, would he have offended Wei Shuqing? Would she have gone to Wei Shuqing's house to seek peace and been met with rebuff?
How can this person who started this thing still have the nerve to blame himself?
