I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 637 - 602: Foolish Motive_2

Zhang Zening was in a terrible mood, but he wasn’t pleased with Zhou Zijiao’s accusations, "What do you mean by setting an example? Many people knew about the incident back then, but we never mention it at home. I’m not so foolish as to incite my nephew to do bad things."

Zhou Zijiao snorted coldly and turned her head away.

The masterminds behind this were Zhang Ming and Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang was Ye Hongyuan’s nephew.

Having arrived here, they confessed honestly. They wanted to bully Zhou Ruoruo a little, show her some colors, and vent their spleen, but not in the way bullying usually happens.

These boys didn’t have the guts or the depravity; they just wanted to drag Zhou Ruoruo into an alley. Simply to scare her, make her frightened, hoping she’d have nightmares every night, and ultimately, to make Zhou Ruoruo hate her own parents.

Ideally, to have them destroy each other while they reap the benefits.

They even felt pity that Zhou Hai and Liu Ying weren’t in Beijing; if they were, they thought there would be good drama to watch.

Such stupidity, Zhang Zening and Ye Hongyuan were really at their wits’ end.

But they still had to be taught a lesson; otherwise, it would have caused a calamity they would regret, especially Zhang Zening.

But Zhou Hai found out about it.

Zhou Hai was livid, his face ashen. He knew his daughter well. Of his three children, she was the most delicate and timid, although competitive and always concerned about her reputation. This event would definitely have a huge impact on her; even her grandfather said Ruoruo had been having nightmares every night.

Zhou Hai thought about it and decided not to tell Liu Ying, but Liu Ying found out anyway.

Although those boys were punished, the consequences weren’t severe; it was just a light reprimand, and after a few days of detention, they were all back home. But his daughter was so frightened that she had nightmares every night.

Liu Ying went to Beijing with Zhou Hai.

By the time they reached Beijing, the seasonal holidays had ended, but Zhou Ruoruo took another half month off.

She was at home recuperating. It had only been a month since they’d seen her, but Ruoruo had lost a lot of weight and was so pale that Zhou Hai almost burst into tears.

And Liu Ying’s heart ached as if it were being sliced.

At that moment, Liu Ying finally made up her mind, she would take unpaid leave to earn money and then move abroad with her daughter. She couldn’t stay here any longer. As long as she lived, the Zhang Family and the Ye Family’s issues with her would never end.

Liu Ying had never expected this to affect her daughter.

Now, Liu Ying knew it was too late for regrets. She didn’t know whom to hate or whom to take revenge on. The only thing she could do was to earn money and leave.

Liu Ying was under Qiao Qingyu’s jurisdiction. When she submitted her resignation, Qiao Qingyu wasn’t surprised.

Liu Ying, always scheming and not very likable, was a good mother, Qiao Qingyu knew. Once Ruoruo went to college, Liu Ying wouldn’t stay here long. Besides, Liu Ying and Zhou Hai had been estranged for years.

Liu Ying left decisively. Without waiting for the approval of her resignation, she had already boarded a train bound for Nangang City.

Finally, Zhou Family had only Zhou Hai left.

The two hadn’t even processed their divorce; for now, they just dragged it out—one in the south and one in the north.

However, Zhou Hai also warned Liu Ying, as he knew all too well how cunning Liu Ying was. Smart and unscrupulous in her methods, Nangang City, despite its prosperity, was a mixed bag due to its openness as a city. He didn’t want Zhou Ruoruo to have a mother in jail or, worse, a traitor as a mother, especially not the latter, which he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

Actually, it had already been relaxed a lot. If it had been earlier, someone like Liu Ying wouldn’t have been allowed to leave at all.

Liu Ying didn’t take Zhou Hai’s words to heart. Those concerns were irrelevant to her now. If she still cared about them before, now she no longer did.

As long as she had money, whether across from Nangang City in a bigger city or in another country, anywhere was better than staying here.

And Zhou Ruoruo didn’t know her mother’s plans, consuming Nourishing Spirit Pills produced by Yanjing Fifth Pharmaceutical Factory every day.

She stopped having nightmares, and after a week, she went back to school.

Half a month later, Zhang Zening and Ye Hongyuan brought out their nephew and grandson, as well as two other boys who had been implicated. Everyone gathered together for a severe reprimand.

Zhang Ming and Liu Qiang had already regretted their actions deeply.
