After marrying a scientific research tycoon, I retired early and won

Chapter 179: Being beaten

Like when she was with Lu Kai, others thought she got a great bargain. She was a divorcee with a daughter, and Lu Kai shouldn't have been with her.

But no one knew that Lu Kai almost died during that mission. She promised Lu Kai that even if he was gone, she would take good care of his parents.

Later, when Lu Kai's life or death was unknown, she did not leave.

Finally, Lu Kai came back with an injured leg. The doctor said that the leg might never heal, so he advised her to leave.

She took good care of him. At that time, she had just been promoted to workshop director. She ran between the health center and the workshop and lost more than ten pounds in a month.

As soon as his leg healed, they got married immediately. Before Lu Kai retired, she became a glorious military wife.

Over the years, Lu Kai has fulfilled his promise. She is in charge of the money, and he does the housework whenever he is free.

Chu Hong now only sees Zhou Jingmo's unilateral efforts. Moreover, her family's conditions are not as good as Zhou's family, so she is really marrying up.

Ji Ning pursed her lips: "I understand."

While her mother was urging her to give birth, she was thinking that she had to find a way to become a match for Zhou Jingmo. She had to work hard and make her career bigger and stronger!

Before leaving, Chu Hong gave Ji Ning and Zhou Jingmo a red envelope each.

Ji Ning thought it was thin and shouldn't be a big deal, so she didn't refuse and accepted it.

But on the way back, when I opened it, I found that it was five new hundred-dollar bills.

She glanced at Zhou Jingmo and said, "It seems that they have discovered the true value of the teacup."

Zhou Jingmo was calm and composed, "Well. It seems that I should give you something that is not very high-end next time."

Ji Ning was speechless. She thought he would change and give something less valuable so that the two elders wouldn't have a psychological burden. But it turned out that this man didn't change.

He must be good to whoever he wants to be good to.

…………

Ji Ning and Zhou Jingmo haven't returned home yet, at the door of Zhou's house -

"Woof woof woof!" Jianlibao barked wildly. It has grown up and can guard the house.

Tongtong stood at the door, holding Jianlibao, like a short stump, peeking around.

Jianlibao didn't dare to rush forward rashly, for fear of causing Tongtong to fall, so he crawled on the ground and barked softly.

A woman wearing a headscarf whispered through the iron bars, "I...I'm here to deliver something."

"Who is it?" Zhou's mother came out, and when she saw it was her, she tilted her neck back tactically.

I was afraid that she was here to deliver stinky fermented bean curd.

It was Aunt Yu who came. When Aunt Yu saw her reaction, she immediately knew what was going on and laughed dryly twice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to give you this."

She raised the bag in her hand, and this time it was not stinky fermented bean curd that she gave away.

She is skillful with her hands, and the pickled vegetables and meat she makes are particularly delicious. Her mother once told her that pickling pickles requires skill, and no one else can pickle them as well as she does.

So she specially brought some meat marinated in soy sauce, and selected the best pork belly, which had a good color at first glance.

Mother Zhou took a look.

Aunt Yu knew how to cater to her husband's preferences this time, but she was still cautious, "See if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll take it back first and send you something else next time..."

If Dong Tianyou were here, he would probably open his eyes wide in surprise.

He's lived to such an old age, and he only cares about his own preferences. When has he ever cared about other people's feelings?

"No, no." Zhou's mother was also a cultured person, and she quickly explained, "The reason I hesitated is that I don't want to receive gifts without merit. Why did you give these to my family?"

"I..." Aunt Yu scratched her head, "I want to thank your daughter-in-law for speaking up for my son last time, and before..."

She looked speechless, and after a moment's hesitation, she finally spoke out, "I used to gossip about her, and it turned out that I had embarrassed her a lot. I know that what I'm doing won't help, but if I don't do anything, I'll feel guilty."

Mother Zhou hesitated for a moment, then took the bag from her and said, "I haven't tasted this before, you can try it."

"Well, you try it. Others say it's pretty good. If it's delicious, I'll send some over next time..." After listening to what her son said, Zhou's mother knew that if it weren't for Ji Ning and Zhou Jingmo, her son would not have received the admission letter from Central South University.

Zhou Jingmo and Ji Ning came in. Ji Ning seemed to be worried, but Zhou Jingmo was very calm.

Mother Zhou told them about Aunt Yu sending the soy sauce meat, and Ji Ning nodded, "I know."

Then she went upstairs. She and Zhou Jingmo were in the room. She suddenly whispered, "Did you just see it?"

"what?"

"Qiao Xing was beaten."

"Ah."

Ji Ning was very surprised. Just now, when she and Zhou Jingmo were sitting in the car, she saw Qiao Xing carrying a bag and wearing a beautiful dress. She had just bought something and seemed to be in a good mood.

As a result, a woman in her forties rushed over, grabbed her hair and beat her up. She was beaten so hard that tears welled up in her eyes. Standing next to her was the middle-aged man who had hugged Qiao Xing when Ji Ning entered and exited the skating rink that day. The man pointed at Qiao Xing with an indignant look on his face, "It was this woman who seduced me."

Qiao Xing looked confused and fell to the ground, as if he had broken into pieces. "Who are you?"

"You shameless bastard..." The woman cursed at him with vulgar words. In front of so many people, she pulled Qiao Xing's collar and stripped her clothes off to her shoulders.

Some of the men present, thinking it would be a waste not to look, leaned their heads over and scanned Qiao Xing's fair chest with their eyes.

Qiao Xing's voice changed, "I... I don't know you."

How could she beat two people alone? Her scalp was sore and her face was swollen. Blood flowed into her mouth and onto her skirt.

She had finally taken this step and found a job, even if it was just teaching a rich family's child to dance. She had saved money for a long time and bought her beloved little skirt, but now the skirt was dirty and torn.

Her employer and child were there too. The child saw her and pointed, "Mom, that's our teacher. I have to go help her."

The arrogant rich lady covered the child's eyes with a cold expression, "Then from today on, she is no longer a child."

"..."

Ji Ning couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Xiao Wen to stop the car and was about to get out.

A figure came late, it was Qiao Yue, "Sister, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Qiao Yue put a coat on Qiao Xing, then took out her briefcase and hit the man and woman.

The woman bossed him around, "Your sister is a mistress and seduced my man. She deserves to be beaten and killed!"

The sharp nail marks scratched Qiao Yue's face, but she still hugged the trembling Qiao Xing tightly, "Don't be afraid, sister, I'm here... You still have me..."

Later, the farce ended with Qiao Yue paying some money, but everyone recognized this face and knew that Qiao Xing was a mistress, which was a shameful thing.

Qiao Xing lowered his head as Qiao Yue hugged him and left. His eyes were empty and numb.

She seemed to be wondering, was she really ill again, and what had happened without her knowing?

The more she thought about it, the scarier it became... Goosebumps appeared one after another and she hugged her head tightly.
