Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Zhou Jingya Also Has It Rough

Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingrui had both been called home and were now aware of the situation. They found it unbelievable—how could their sister be such a person?

However, seeing so many people at home, they were forced to accept the reality.

Granny Bai said, "I never thought that the one who pushed me down the stairs would turn out to be Bai Yurou. She was a child I watched growing up, how could she bear to lay a hand on me?"

Grandpa Bai lamented, "She conspired with others, attempting to poison us and seize the family property. I find it hard to believe that she’s the child we watched grow up."

Nan Qiao said, "Bai Yurou wasn’t a bad person at first. I suspect she must have met someone one day, heard some things, and that’s what led her to do this. Otherwise, having grown up in the Bai Family, why would she suddenly act against her family? She wasn’t a bad person before she acted."

There had to be a reason for the instigation.

Everyone sat in the living room; there were no servants around, making it convenient for them to discuss matters.

Nan Qiao’s words had been taken to heart by the family, and they pondered how to deal with the situation.

Bai Zhenyang said, "I’ve already sent people to investigate, but there are no results yet."

Bai Jingting expressed, "We don’t know when Bai Yurou met that person. She’s met quite a few people over the years, so it’s really difficult to investigate."

Bai Jingyan was baffled, "How could she have changed like this? Every day she was flawless in her performance in front of us, I never saw through her malicious intentions."

Bai Jingrui exclaimed, "Not even in a drama would you see this kind of acting. Why does she hate us so much? She’s also my sister who I watched grow up, it’s too wicked!"

Bai Jingrui had acted in quite a few dramas, but had never come across a script like this.

Chen Xinwan heaved a sigh; she was in a very bad mood.

Her daughter who she had doted on for eighteen years had turned out to be so vile!

Everyone’s gaze fell on Nan Qiao, their eyes filled with tenderness.

Bai Zhenyang expressed gratitude, "We owe our escape from this calamity to Qiaoqiao. Luckily she came back; otherwise, our years of hard work would have been destroyed in an instant."

Chen Xinwan declared, "Qiaoqiao is our family’s lucky star."

There was another round of praise, and inwardly, everyone felt grateful to Nan Qiao for saving their family.

Nan Qiao was somewhat embarrassed by the praise but also thankful for having such a wonderful family.

At first, Nan Qiao didn’t speak out because she was worried that the family might mistakenly think she wanted to drive Bai Yurou away.

Thankfully, the family was discerning, and she was relieved.

If it had been Zhou Hongqi, he would probably have accused her of being malicious early on.

Speaking of Zhou Hongqi, he was not having a good time.

His son had not returned, and Liu Yanfang, living at his home with Zhou Jingya, was even considering calling the police.

Zhou Hongqi came home just in time to hear Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya plotting to call the police.

Liu Yanfang said, "Xiao Ya, we should admit your dad to a psychiatric hospital. He’s like a ticking time bomb at home and will kill us both sooner or later."

Zhou Jingya hadn’t expected Liu Yanfang to have such a thought, but after pondering for a while, she agreed.

"Mom, I’m so scared. Dad is terrifying, wielding a knife around for no reason. It’s really frightening."

Liu Yanfang replied, "That’s why I think we should send him to the psychiatric hospital. Our lives would be so much better. I’ll see if I can sell the company as well and, with the money, we can go abroad to find your brother."

While the two women were envisioning their wonderful future, Zhou Hongqi burst in with a large knife.

"Despicable woman, die!"

Zhou Hongqi hacked away wildly, determined to take down anyone in his way.

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya fled in terror, like rats crossing the street.

The house no longer had any servants; they couldn’t stand Zhou Hongqi’s madness and feared being chopped to death someday.

In this state of affairs...

He chased, they fled, they had nowhere to hide!

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya ran out of the villa, and Zhou Hongqi, eyes red with fury, watched their retreating figures and came up with a good idea.

...

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya checked into a hotel.

Zhou Jingya, still shaken, sat on the sofa and took a sip of warm water.

"Mom, let’s move out. I don’t want to stand there anymore. It’s unbearable, living in constant fear of being killed."

Zhou Jingya was genuinely frightened by this life.

Liu Yanfang refused, "If we leave, what if your dad sells the house? Tomorrow I’ll call the psychiatric hospital and have them take him away! Xiao Ya, rest assured, I won’t let that bastard Zhou Hongqi hurt you."

Zhou Jingya had a sudden thought, "Mom, why don’t we sell the house? With the money from the sale, we can go abroad to find my brother, and we won’t have to be scared here anymore."

"Liu Yanfang said, "Xiao Ya, that’s a great idea. Alright, that’s what we’ll do. Tomorrow, we’ll sell the house."

The two looked at each other and smiled, no longer afraid.

With money, fear was no concern.

...

The next day.

When Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya returned home, they were shocked.

The villa’s door lock had been changed, and so had the code.

They thought about calling a locksmith to open the door, but then someone showed up.

The arrival was a burly man who pointed at Liu Yanfang, "What are you doing? What are you doing at my house’s door!"

Liu Yanfang retorted angrily, "This is our home, how is it yours? Are you blind?"

The man pushed Liu Yanfang, "Look carefully, this house belongs to me. Yesterday, the homeowner sold the house overnight. The price was right, so I bought it."

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya were dumbstruck; what they had planned to do had already been done by Zhou Hongqi!

The man sized up Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya, "Who are you? Zhou Hongqi said his wife and daughter were dead."

Liu Yanfang & Zhou Jingya: "!!"

Zhou Hongqi was too cruel!

To say such things!

The man spoke disdainfully, "If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police! The house is mine, you better scram."

With that, the man went inside.

Liu Yanfang grabbed his arm, "I want to go in; all my stuff is inside!"

Liu Yanfang was furious; her jewelry was all in the house!

The man pushed her away, "Cut the crap, this is my house, why should you go in? You two don’t look decent, are you doing some shady business? Buy one, get one free, huh?"

Zhou Jingya helped Liu Yanfang up, "Mom, let’s go. We should ask Dad what’s going on."

Liu Yanfang picked up her phone to call Zhou Hongqi, only to realize she had been blocked.

Zhou Jingya also tried to call Zhou Hongqi, but the result was the same—she had been blocked.

At this point, Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya completely broke down.

Liu Yanfang cursed, "That son of a bitch Zhou Hongqi! The house isn’t just his; how could he sell it without notifying me!"

Zhou Jingya also panicked, "Mom, let’s hurry up and find Dad!"

Both hurried off in a frenzy.
