Chapter 143 Her fate was more than this
Qiao Luo had almost forgotten about Qiao Dahai. It seemed that Qiao Dahai had been invisible ever since the online incident broke out, and he was nowhere to be found. So when he suddenly called her this time, Qiao Luo knew without thinking why.
She answered the call.
"Luo Luo, do you know that your Aunt Yu has been detained? Can you try to plead with the police to release her?"
Qiao Dahai's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Luo sneered, "I don't own the police station. I can't just release people whenever I want. If she didn't commit a crime, why arrest her?"
Qiao Dahai also knew this principle, but he always felt that Yu Huili had only said a few bad things about Qiao Luo, and it was not enough to warrant being detained.
Moreover, he visited her at the detention center this morning. Yu Huili, who had spent the night there, looked haggard and was crying her eyes out; she looked quite pitiful.
"Luo Luo, for Yuan Zhe's sake, don't hold it against her anymore," Qiao Dahai said again.
Qiao Luo thought to herself: She only did this because of Qiao Yuanzhe; otherwise, if the police had been told about her extortion of 200,000 yuan, the outcome would have been far worse than it is now.
She said, "I only did this because of Yuanzhe; otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to her."
"But she's too old to endure that hardship."
"She can't stand it? Do you think I can? Have you even considered what will happen to me if her scheme succeeds this time? I'll lose my job, I'll die, I'll spend the rest of my life suffering from those rumors and gossip. Have you thought about any of that?"
Qiao Dahai on the other end fell silent.
Qiao Luo knew he had never thought about her. If he had, he would have stood up for her long ago, but he always hid behind his wife and children, remaining invisible.
Now that things have calmed down, he's come out to play peacemaker.
Are you eligible?
Qiao Luo continued, "You always try to smooth things over, turning big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing. If you hadn't been hiding behind the scenes and doing nothing all these years, she wouldn't be so rampant. In the end, she's the one who's become like this because of you."
As the head of the family and a bridge between his former and current families, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities and instead remained inactive, leading to unrest within the household.
The current situation is entirely his doing.
So what else is there to say?
Qiao Luo decisively hung up the phone. Sometimes, you should distance yourself from relationships that make you unhappy, even your own father.
She called Lu Tingnian again and learned that he was not at home but had gone out with Han Jian, so she decided not to go home and went to Fang Yan's house instead.
Fang Yan was on vacation today. When Qiao Luo arrived at Fang Yan's house, Fang Yan had just called a beauty salon employee to come and get a facial. When she saw Qiao Luo, she invited her to join them.
The two lay on the massage bed and chatted about recent events at the company.
Fang Yan was particularly angry when Qiao Luo mentioned that her boss had informed her that she was being forced to take leave.
She said,
"Luo Luo, don't you think your boss is deliberately targeting you? Right now, you're at the height of your career, and countless people in the company admire you, yet she's making you take leave, and in the name of the company at that. I suspect she's doing it on purpose."
Qiao Luo had also considered Fang Yan's points, but what could she do even if she had?
The saying goes, "A higher-ranking official can crush you," and Lin Mei was her superior, after all.
So, she said, quite dejectedly,
Even if I knew, what could I do?
Fang Yan, who has a short temper, couldn't stand seeing her like this, and said, "Of course you should fight back and show your strength to confront her."
