Chapter 223: Chapter 223 "So-Called True Love"_1

Qin Hai was taken aback. Could it really be such a coincidence?

Zhao Dajiao was a sturdy middle-aged woman with a lot of strength in her hands. Guo Cuicui was no match for Zhao Dajiao!

She grabbed Guo Cuicui by the hair and cursed, "You shameless hussy, if you looked down on my nephew, you could have simply refused the marriage. How dare you say that we, the Qi Family, forced you? Don’t overestimate yourself!"

"Who are you? What’s this Hu Qin?" Guo Cuicui protected her hair with one hand while pushing Zhao Dajiao away with the other, not showing any weakness.

"Who am I? I’m Qi Rongjun’s aunt," Zhao Dajiao said angrily, stepping forward and kicking Guo Cuicui again.

Qi Rongjun?

Upon hearing this name, Guo Cuicui was startled; she couldn’t admit to it!

"I don’t know Qi Rongjun. Let go of me, or else I’ll go to the authorities," Guo Cuicui said furiously. "Let go of me quickly."

Not leaving would only leave her at a disadvantage!

If the old woman would just let go of her, she would run away immediately. Since she didn’t admit she was Guo Cuicui, there would be no problem!

"Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me." Qin Hai kept begging for mercy. "I didn’t do it on purpose."

As Zhao Dajiao was beating Guo Cuicui, Er Gou was giving it his all on the other side. Hearing Qin Hai’s words, she cursed, "Er Gou, beat him hard, just don’t kill or cripple him. You still say it wasn’t on purpose? If you were intentional, you two would have been in bed already. And who knows, maybe Guo Cuicui is carrying your brat. My nephew is such a good man. How did he become a despicable rogue in your mouths?"

"It hurts, let go, you old hag, you old shrew, let go of me immediately!" Guo Cuicui cursed fiercely, as the old woman’s grip was too strong.

At that moment, Niu Lili and He Tiantian came over to help break up the fight.

But in fact, they were holding back Guo Cuicui, making it even easier for Zhao Dajiao to hit her.

The chefs also came out of the kitchen, and the director of Taoyuan Hotel was summoned.

Not far away, the local police station heard the commotion and quickly sent two officers over.

Well, what a coincidence, they were both familiar faces, Old Wu and Xiao Chen.

"Stop it, all of you! If you don’t stop now, I’ll arrest everyone," Old Wu shouted. This was a place for dining, not fighting.

Zhao Dajiao and Qi Ergou finally let go.

"Old Wu, Xiao Chen, quickly take these people away to the station to talk it over. I still have guests to entertain," Director Wu said with a distressed face. Although the fight had been intense, fortunately, nothing had been broken. Sending these troublemakers away would prevent any further losses.

"Alright, we’re taking everyone back to the station," Old Wu said with a smile, giving Xiao Chen a wink.

Xiao Chen, holding something resembling a baton, said, "Come on, let’s go to the station."

If these people didn’t listen to him, Xiao Chen had the authority to use the baton on them.

Qin Hai seemed to understand the situation. He and Guo Cuicui had been caught in a compromising situation, but luckily they were in the hall and hadn’t done anything too outrageous, so he could still argue his way out.

"No need for that, it’s all a misunderstanding," Qin Hai said sheepishly. "They mistook me for someone else."

Zhao Dajiao sneered, "Now you want to say it’s a misunderstanding? Too late. Dating without the intention of marriage is just hooliganism. You knew that Guo Cuicui was engaged, yet you still got tangled with this woman—it’s hooliganism. Comrades, I am Zhao Dajiao, the women’s director from Qijia Village, and I am taking you all to the police station."

Zhao Dajiao’s intention now was to prove that Guo Cuicui was playing both sides, so when the engagement was later called off, they could get back the betrothal money and gifts.

They couldn’t let the groom’s side end up with neither the bride nor their money!

After hearing Zhao Dajiao’s words, everyone solemnly agreed, "We all must go!"

Guo Cuicui had met Qi Rongjun’s parents and didn’t have a strong impression of Zhao Dajiao. She retorted, "He’s not your son, why are you meddling?"

Qi Xiaoyan then spoke up from behind, "He is my actual brother. Guo Cuicui, I didn’t think you were such a person."

Old Wu, a police officer, had been to Qijia Village twice; he recognized both Qi Xiaoyan and Zhao Dajiao.

"Take them all to the police station," Old Wu said. "If you refuse to go, we will have to arrest you by force."

Qin Hai had originally wanted to run away, but hearing this, he didn’t dare.

Running would only add to his crimes.

Moreover, he had a job in the county town, and many people knew him. He only wanted to fool around with Guo Cuicui because she looked good. Especially after hearing she was engaged, he was even happier that he could have fun without being responsible.

But he had never imagined that he would be caught by the groom’s family on the spot!

At first, Guo Cuicui was a bit scared, but now she was not afraid. She didn’t like that dark-skinned Qi Rongjun anyway, so tall and sturdy, he looked particularly intimidating. Her parents said Qi Rongjun was a platoon leader and being his wife would be prestigious, and the betrothal gifts they received were generous, so she agreed.

But after spending the New Year and working as a temp in the county textile factory, she met Qin Hai, whom she actually liked—he was fair, wore glasses, and looked cultured and capable. How could that dark brute Qi Rongjun compare to Qin Hai?

So be it. She’d leave!

She liked Qin Hai, and if he didn’t agree, she would accuse him of rape.

Although they hadn’t gone all the way, they had done almost everything else. Qin Hai didn’t show the slightest disregard for her today, which meant he really liked her. Since the two of them truly loved each other, they should be together.

Old Wu and Xiao Chen led the group to the police station.

Old Wu took out a pen and paper, looked at Guo Cuicui, and asked, "Name, age, address!"

Guo Cuicui, head down, replied, "Guo Cuicui, twenty years old this year, from Guojia Village, currently living in the textile factory’s staff dormitory!"

"Are you previously engaged?" Old Wu inquired.

"I didn’t agree to it, but my family did," responded Guo Cuicui. "Nowadays, we support free love and don’t allow arranged marriages. I will have my father go home and break off the engagement."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan cursed, "If anyone is breaking off the engagement, it’s us breaking it off with your family. Also, if you disagree, why are you wearing the engagement gifts my second brother gave you?"

Saying this, she went forward and pulled a Plum Blossom brand watch from Guo Cuicui’s wrist. That watch had cost her second brother more than four months’ salary!

"That’s... that’s mine, give it back to me," demanded Guo Cuicui as she tried to snatch back her watch; it was such a fine thing that many people envied her for it. It was a rare item, even for girls in the city, not many of them had such beautiful watches.

Qi Xiaoyan angrily retorted, "Why should I give it to you? You’re already breaking off the engagement! With your character, I don’t believe you’d return the watch to us."
