Although Jiujiu and Zhao Shijie were together now and there was nothing wrong, Old Zhang's ulterior motive of introducing those problematic men to Jiujiu was really serious.
Li Hong raised her hand to wipe her tears. She couldn't understand why Mr. Zhang would treat Jiujiu like that. They had known each other for so many years, and they were as close as a family.
Ding Bo was even more confused. He had always thought that he and Mr. Zhang were not biological brothers, but they were closer than biological brothers.
But now, Jiujiu told him that his brother was not his brother, and that his brother wanted to kill his daughter. Ding Bo couldn't bear it.
Ding Bo kept reading the documents in front of him. They were just thin pieces of paper, but in Ding Bo's hands, they were as heavy as a huge rock, which made him feel miserable.
Ding Bo moved his lips and said, "Xiao Xue, don't rush to a conclusion about this matter. Your Uncle Zhang has always been very concerned about your matters. Maybe he really thinks that Jiang Qiao is a very good person and wants you to get to know each other again?
How about this? Your mother and I go to talk to your Uncle Zhang tomorrow and see what he says. What do you think? "
When Jiujiu told Ding Bo these things, she wanted Ding Bo and Li Hong to see Mr. Zhang's true colors. Seeing that Ding Bo was going to talk to Mr. Zhang, Jiujiu naturally nodded.
She knew that as long as Ding Bo and Li Hong went to ask Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, who had a guilty conscience, would definitely be angry. At that time, Ding Bo and Li Hong would see Mr. Zhang's true colors completely.
After saying what she wanted to say, Jiujiu looked at Ding Bo and Li Hong, who were confused because of the huge amount of information just now. She sighed and turned to go back to her room.
After Jiujiu left, only Ding Bo and Li Hong were left in the living room.
After a long silence, Li Hong spoke first, "Ding, do you think what Xiaoxue said is true?"
If it was true, why did Mr. Zhang do it? What was his reason for doing so?
If it wasn't true, why were there so many coincidences?
If it happened once or twice, it could be considered an accident, but what about the third time?
Even though Ding Bo and Li Hong wanted to believe Elder Zhang from the bottom of their hearts, they couldn't believe it because of the accidents that had happened twice.
Li Hong's rhetorical question silenced Ding Bo as well.
Ding Bo patted Li Hong's shoulder to comfort her and said softly, "Ask Old Zhang when you see him tomorrow. Don't think too much. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Although Ding Bo said those words to comfort Li Hong, he didn't believe them from the bottom of his heart.
These accidents were too coincidental, so coincidental that he could not continue to choose to believe.
Because of Jiujiu's questioning, Li Hong and Ding Bo didn't sleep well that night. The next day, they both showed up with dark circles under their eyes.
Li Hong and Ding Bo looked into each other's eyes and smiled bitterly.
Li Hong looked at Ding Bo and said, "Have you told Old Zhang the time?"
At first, Li Hong wanted to deal with the matter coldly.
However, as Ding Bo had said, a long delay was fraught with problems.
Some things were better to be dealt with coldly, while some things were better to be clarified directly.
Their only daughter was involved in Old Zhang's matter. The sooner they got to the bottom of it, the better. Otherwise, they would feel awkward when facing Old Zhang in the future.
Ding Bo wiped his face and said, "I told Old Zhang that it's tonight."
"Okay, where is it? I'll go there directly after work."
It wasn't appropriate to talk about this at home. It was better to find a private room in a hotel and talk slowly there.
Ding Bo said, "I'll send you the address later. Tell Xue to have dinner outside tonight."
Li Hong said, "Okay, I got it."
Ding Bo and Li Hong discussed the matter and went to work together.
At noon, Jiujiu received a message from Li Hong saying that she and Ding Bo had something to do tonight and couldn't go home to cook dinner. They asked Jiujiu to find a place opposite to Old Zhang to deal with them. After that, Jiujiu knew that Ding Bo and Li Hong must have gone to confront Old Zhang.
Thinking of Ding Bo and Li Hong's feelings for Old Zhang, Jiujiu felt sorry for Ding Bo and Li Hong from the bottom of her heart.
However, Old Zhang was too bad-tempered. It was dangerous to keep such a malicious person around. The sooner they fell out with each other, the sooner they would be safe.
Old Zhang was surprised that Ding Bo suddenly asked him to go out for dinner.
Because of his guilty conscience, Old Zhang's first reaction was to think that what he had done to Jiujiu had been discovered.
However, when he thought of how discreet he had been, Old Zhang quickly calmed down. He thought that Ding Bo and Li Hong must have asked him to go out for dinner to get to know each other better.
After work, Old Zhang gladly went to the appointment.
Because of something on their minds, Ding Bo and Li Hong had been absent-minded at work today. They hadn't finished their work, so they came a little late.
Old Zhang sat in the private room for a long time and drank a pot of tea before Ding Bo and Li Hong slowly walked in.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Old Zhang immediately showed a warm smile on his face. He shouted and poured tea for Ding Bo and Li Hong. "Look at you. If you miss me, you can eat at home. Why did you come to the hotel? It's too wasteful."
Old Zhang's words sounded the same as usual.
Normally, when Ding Bo and Li Hong heard Old Zhang talking with a smile like this, they would definitely laugh.
But now, thinking of the information Jiujiu gave them yesterday, Ding Bo and Li Hong couldn't laugh anymore.
Ding Bo turned his head and looked at Li Hong. The two of them sighed at the same time. In the end, Ding Bo spoke first. "Old Zhang, I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
Ding Bo's tone was so serious that Old Zhang, who was drinking tea, froze.
Old Zhang raised his head and looked at Ding Bo. He pursed his lips and said, "Why are you so serious? What happened? Does Xue not want to date again?"
Old Zhang's anxious look made it seem that he treated Jiujiu as his own daughter. There was no trace of acting at all. Ding Bo and Li Hong were instantly relieved.
Since Old Zhang cared so much about Jiujiu, it couldn't be what Jiujiu said. Maybe these things were just coincidences.
Noticing this, Ding Bo and Li Hong both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ding Bo. He even said with a smile, "No, Xiaoxue just had a boyfriend. He's a policeman. We've already been to his house. His parents are very fond of Xiaoxue. If we hurry, we might be able to get married at the end of the year."
Ding Bo's words had no other meaning at all. It was just that his daughter had finally found a suitable partner and he wanted to share his joy with his good friend.
