"Why go home? You have a stomachache, I'll take you to see a doctor. What? Are you lying to me?"
"Mom, what on earth do you want to do? If you have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it. It's so embarrassing to yell here."
"It's embarrassing, and you still feel embarrassed. You even skipped class with the boys, and you're still afraid of being embarrassed?"
"........."
Zhou Chen stood behind the door, listening to Qiao Yingzi's crying and screaming, his fists slowly clenched. He wanted to rush out to save Qiao Yingzi, but reason held him back.
He knew very well that if he rushed out at this time, it would only make things worse.
The current situation is not that his wife is being bullied, so he can stand up for her.
It was the mother and daughter who were arguing, and he was just an outsider. If he went over, it would only make Song Qian worse, and then Qiao Yingzi would be the one who suffered.
So Zhou Chen could only suppress his anxiety and discomfort.
After all, this is not a martial arts world where revenge is the order of the day. If he intervenes forcibly, he will be unreasonable no matter where he goes.
Among all the things in the world, family disputes are the most difficult to resolve, especially when you encounter a mother like Song Qian who is extremely strong, there is nothing you can do.
Zhou Chen didn't know what kind of quarrel had occurred between Song Qian and Qiao Yingzi, but he knew that Qiao Yingzi quarreled with Song Qian this time entirely because of him.
Zhou Chen had been watching what was happening in Qiao Yingzi's house. He found that after the two of them went in, they never came out again. It seemed that Song Qian didn't even go to work.
Knowing that Song Qian and Qiao Yingzi might not come out again that day, Zhou Chen could only lie on the bed helplessly.
Zhou Chen didn't prepare anything to eat at noon. He just heated up the white rice porridge he cooked in the morning, ate two bowls, and then started to rest.
After recovering from a serious illness, what you need most is rest.
At night, Zhou Chen was awakened by a knock on the door. After waking up, Zhou Chen no longer had a fever, but he still felt a little uncomfortable and had no strength.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Qiao Yingzi's father, Qiao Weidong.
"Uncle Qiao." Zhou Chen called out proactively.
But Qiao Weidong snorted coldly: "No, I'm not your uncle, we are not that familiar."
Having said that, he walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and stared at Zhou Chen with a gloomy face.
As soon as Zhou Chen saw Qiao Weidong's posture, he knew that he was definitely here to cause trouble, and it must be Song Qian who asked him to come.
Zhou Chen was not panicked, as he had not done anything wrong, so after closing the door, he walked over to sit down opposite Qiao Weidong.
"Uncle Qiao..."
"No, I told you, we are not familiar with each other, you don't have to call me uncle."
Qiao Weidong pushed up his glasses and said, "Zhou Chen, do you know why I came to see you today?"
Qiao Weidong was so rude that Zhou Chen stopped indulging him and replied expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I really don't know why you came to see me."
Qiao Weidong became even angrier when he saw Zhou Chen pretending to be ignorant despite knowing the truth.
"Don't play tricks on me. Let me ask you, did I tell you not to have any bad intentions towards my daughter? Why didn't you listen?"
Zhou Chen: "First of all, I have no bad intentions towards you, Yingzi. We are just classmates and friends now. Secondly, Mr. Qiao, I am not your subordinate, nor your employee. I have no obligation to follow your orders. If you want to show your boss's momentum, please go find your subordinates."
He believed that he had not done anything out of line towards Qiao Yingzi, and even if he wanted to pursue her, he was not ready to do it now.
But Song Qian stared at him as if he were the murderer of her father. Now Qiao Weidong was acting so arrogant, as if he really thought that Zhou Chen was easy to bully.
Qiao Weidong became even angrier after being confronted by Zhou Chen.
"How do you talk like that? Is that how you talk to your elders?"
"Elder? Excuse me, Mr. Qiao, you just said that we don't seem to be familiar with each other. If we are not familiar with each other, why are you my elder? Is it just because you are more than 20 years older than me?"
"A sharp-tongued brat."
Qiao Weidong snorted coldly: "I don't care who you are, what your family does, or how much money you have. I tell you, Yingzi is my daughter. I will not and will not allow you to get close to her again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Hearing Qiao Weidong's threat, Zhou Chen immediately laughed.
"Mr. Qiao, if you hadn't said this to me, I would really admire your love for your daughter. But I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of threats."
Qiao Weidong said coldly: "Don't underestimate a father's means. If you dare to get close to my daughter again, I will really do anything."
Zhou Chen sneered. If it wasn’t for Qiao Yingzi’s sake, he would have kicked Qiao Weidong out long ago.
In the TV series, each character is portrayed in an overly positive light, but if you really look at it from a different perspective.
In fact, Qiao Weidong is really a piece of shit.
He was unfaithful to his wife, so don't talk about being schemed against. A truly loyal man would never give other women the opportunity to scheme against him. The biggest reason why he had an affair with another woman was himself.
Not to mention my girlfriend Xiao Meng. When I need her, she comes at my call. When I don’t need her, she leaves at my call.
He had been dating her for several years and had been keeping her hanging, but was unwilling to get married. He also made up all kinds of excuses to act innocent. In the end, it seemed that Xiao Meng took the initiative to break up, but in fact, she was forced to do so by him.
If Xiao Meng didn't really see any hope, how could she break up so easily and without asking for anything?
As for his daughter, Qiao Weidong really does love her, but that is already spoiling her.
In the plot, if he hadn't appeared repeatedly, to be honest, Qiao Yingzi and Song Qian wouldn't have ended up like that, and Qiao Yingzi wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
When it comes to treating friends, Qiao Weidong is not a truly qualified friend.
As a big boss, he knew clearly that his best friend Fang Yuan had been unemployed for more than half a year, but he never thought of helping Fang Yuan.
Don't say that Fang Yuan doesn't need his help, or that he is afraid of embarrassing Fang Yuan.
If he really wanted to help Fang Yuan, he had countless ways to make it impossible for Fang Yuan to know that he was the one who helped.
But he really did nothing and just watched his good friend Fang Yuan become more and more embarrassed.
Zhou Chen didn't have any problem with Qiao Weidong and Song Qian because of Qiao Yingzi's incident, but after watching the TV series Little Joy, among the three families, Qiao Weidong and Song Qian were actually the ones with no bottom line and the least human touch.
Song Qian made a big fuss just because the two children might fall in love early, and even belittled Fang Yuan and looked down on him in front of Tong Wenjie.
Is this what a qualified best friend should say?
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just take the current situation as an example. Qiao Weidong actually said such threatening words in front of Zhou Chen. It would not be an exaggeration to sue him for intimidation.
"Mr. Qiao, let me say it again. Yingzi and I are just classmates and friends. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Yingzi. If Yingzi really wants to keep her distance from me, I won't say anything. But if you want to threaten me like this, I'm sorry, but I still say that I am the least likely to be threatened."
Qiao Weidong's face turned ugly. He was indeed threatening Zhou Chen. In his opinion, as long as he acted a little fierce, Zhou Chen, as a high school student, would definitely be scared.
But he underestimated Zhou Chen. Instead of being scared, Zhou Chen looked at him with sarcasm, as if he disdained his methods.
This put Qiao Weidong in a dilemma.
Of course, he didn't dare to really do anything to Zhou Chen. Regardless of whether it was illegal or not, as far as he knew, Zhou Chen's family background was not ordinary. He was probably richer than him, and he also had an uncle who ran a law firm.
If he really wants to use tricks, he may not be able to beat others.
But there was one thing he said that was true: he would do anything for his daughter.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 263 Crazy Song Qian, Broken Qiao Yingzi
Qiao Weidong didn't say anything harsh. After looking at Zhou Chen seriously, he slammed the door and left.
"Ah."
Zhou Chen was really speechless. It was indeed the responsibility of parents to prevent their daughter from falling in love too early, and there was nothing wrong with that.
But the problem is, whether it is Song Qian or Qiao Weidong, their actions are really speechless. They even said such threatening and intimidating words. If he really took any action and did something to Qiao Yingzi, would they really kill him?
For most boyfriends and girlfriends, the parents of both parties are definitely the biggest problem.
Some parents genuinely care about their children, while others oppose just for the sake of opposing.
Considering that he hasn't done anything with Qiao Yingzi yet, he's already like this. If they were really in love, I wonder what his parents would do.
Qiao Weidong returned to his former home in anger. Song Qian was sitting in the living room waiting. When she saw Qiao Weidong coming back, she immediately stood up.
"How about it?"
"I didn't agree."
Qiao Weidong's face was gloomy. "That kid is different from ordinary children. Even threats and warnings don't work. Besides, his family is not an ordinary family. Even if we want to find his parents, it won't be that easy to compromise."
Song Qian angrily shouted, "No, we must not let him get close to Yingzi again, otherwise Yingzi will definitely be led astray by him."
Her daughter is her only spiritual support now. She doesn't even want to let Yingzi's biological father get close to her, let alone a stranger named Zhou Chen.
The most important thing is that this time she felt extremely panicked. As a woman, she clearly felt her daughter's different feelings for the boy.
She was an experienced person and knew very well what this kind of feeling meant. If they didn't stop it, her daughter might really be with that boy.
Although her daughter will get married sooner or later, it is definitely not now. She does not allow her daughter to fall in love too early, and she will not allow her daughter to escape her control. Even if she wants to fall in love in the future, she must go through her first.
"Then what do you want to do? I've heard from Yingzi that his family is just an uncle. I've investigated and he's indeed a very powerful lawyer. If things really get out of hand, we'll definitely be the ones to suffer."
Qiao Weidong knew his own limitations and understood that although he had some money, Song Yuan was not bad either. More importantly, Song Yuan was a lawyer, and they could not win the argument either in terms of talking or other aspects.
Song Qian glared at him fiercely: "You are really useless. You can't even protect your own daughter."
Qiao Weidong had long been accustomed to Song Qian's attitude. Even when he was scolded, he just scratched his head and said nothing.
"How is Yingzi feeling now?"
Speaking of Yingzi, Song Qian became even angrier and snorted with a gloomy face, "She? She has lost her mind. At this time, she is still speaking for Zhou Chen. I think she has been confused by that brat and can't tell right from wrong."
"I'll go and persuade her." Qiao Weidong volunteered.
"What's the point of you going?"
Although Song Qian said so, she did not stop him. She knew that her daughter liked her father more, and Qiao Weidong's persuasion might really play a role.
Zhou Chen didn’t know what had happened in Qiao Yingzi’s family. He rested for a day, went to get an IV drip the next day, and didn’t go to class until the third day.
In the morning, after Zhou Chen finished his exercise and took a hot bath, he prepared to go out for breakfast and go to school.
But just as he walked to the door of Qiao Yingzi's house, he saw that the door of Qiao Yingzi's house was also opened, and Qiao Yingzi and her mother Song Qian walked out together.
Seeing Qiao Yingzi, Zhou Chen was about to say hello, but Song Qian pushed Qiao Yingzi forward.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."
Having said that, he pulled Qiao Yingzi towards the elevator without even looking at Zhou Chen.
Qiao Yingzi could only look apologetic to Zhou Chen, while Zhou Chen just smiled at her.
It was even more embarrassing in front of the elevator, one had two elevators, Zhou Chen was standing in front of one of the elevator doors, while Song Qian was pulling Qiao Yingzi to stand in front of the other elevator door.
Even though Zhou Chen's elevator came up first, they did not follow Zhou Chen, but waited for another elevator.
"What's this?"
Zhou Chen stood in the elevator, speechless. What Song Qian did as a parent was really suffocating. Even the most cheerful child would go crazy if he met such a mother.
Without strong mental qualities, you really don't deserve to have such a mother.
Qiao Yingzi came down from the elevator and felt even more depressed when she saw Zhou Chen's back going away.
"Mom, what on earth do you want to do?"
Song Qian said seriously, "From today on, I will pick you up from school. Also, when you are in school, you must be more self-disciplined and not have any contact with Zhou Chen. If you don't listen to me, I will have to call your teacher, Li Meng, and ask her to keep an eye on you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingzi's face suddenly changed drastically, and she asked in a somewhat collapsed voice: "Mom, how could you do this? Zhou Chen and I really have nothing, and you still want to find a teacher. You are really crazy. If you do this, how can I get along with my classmates in the future?"
Song Qian said calmly: "I just don't allow you to associate with Zhou Chen, I didn't say you can't associate with other classmates. Aren't Tao Zi, Fang Yifan, and Lin Lei'er all your classmates and friends? Why do you have to play with Zhou Chen?"
"I, you, ah."
Qiao Yingzi was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't do anything about her mother. In the end, she could only stomp her feet and walk towards the school angrily.
When Song Qian saw her daughter leaving, she immediately chased after her. She was not just talking casually, but would really take action to pick up and drop off Qiao Yingzi from school.
She also talked to Qiao Weidong and told him that if she was too busy to take care of her daughter, she would let Qiao Weidong pick her up and drop off her daughter.
All the way to school, Qiao Yingzi felt that all her classmates were staring at her, which made her feel very embarrassed.
He is already in his third year of high school, but he still needs his mother to take him to school. It cannot be said to be unheard of, but it is very rare. Moreover, most of the parents who send their children to school do so because their homes are far from school.
Her family lives in a community opposite the school and she was sent here by her mother. She is definitely the first person to live in Shuxiang Yayuan community.
After having breakfast at the gate of the community, Zhou Chen went to school leisurely. He had asked for two days off, but he was not worried at all about missing his classes.
"Zhou Chen, you're finally here. You haven't been here for two days. I feel so empty and I don't have any motivation at all."
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived in the classroom, Fang Yifan came over and said happily.
