Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 136 Pay the price

Qiao Luo frowned and answered the call.

"Qiao Luo, it was my fault for badmouthing you online, but you shouldn't have dragged Yuan Zhe into this. No matter what, he's your brother. How could you be so heartless?"

Listening to Yu Huili's reproaches and complaints on the other end of the phone, Qiao Luo frowned and said, "I told you long ago that the internet is a double-edged sword, but you didn't listen. Now who can you blame for this result?"

“You…” Yu Huili choked, but she was still unwilling to compromise. “Even if all of this is my fault, Yuanzhe is innocent. Can you please help him because he is your brother? Please stop those netizens from scolding him. I’m begging you.”

Yu Huili has truly realized the terror of the internet this time. It can strip a person bare in an instant, exposing them completely online with no secrets left, and can even expose their ancestors for eighteen generations.

She didn't want Qiao Yuanzhe to be hurt by the internet.

In fact, even if Yu Huili hadn't called, Qiao Luo would have helped handle Qiao Yuanzhe's matter, since he was her own brother and she couldn't just stand by and watch him get hurt.

However, since Yu Huili had made the call, she had something to say.

“Even if you don’t call me, I will still help with Yuanzhe’s matter. But since you’ve brought it up, I have a condition.”

"You said."

"You need to go to the police station and turn yourself in."

"What? You want me to turn myself in?"

Yu Huili was surprised.

Qiao Luo nodded, "That's right, you should pay the price for doing something wrong. That's an age-old truth."

Yu Huili didn't care about reason or logic. When she heard Qiao Luo ask her to turn herself in, she immediately refused and even blamed Qiao Luo, "You're so malicious! I just wanted you to help Yuan Zhe clear things up, and you're telling me to turn myself in? Why should I turn myself in? I only said a few bad things about you. Who says you have to turn yourself in to the police for talking bad about someone?"

That's ridiculous! She's lived to be this old and has never heard of someone having to turn themselves in to the police for speaking ill of others. Are they taking advantage of her because she doesn't know the law?

Qiao Luo had anticipated Yu Huili's reaction. She said, "You don't have to go, but you will pay the price for it."

"What price?"

Yu Huili asked.

Qiao Luo said, "You'll find out in a moment."

She hung up.

Yu Huili panicked. Qiao Luo had said that if she didn't turn herself in to the police, the fire would burn her, and it really did.

Now she's saying she'll pay the price if she doesn't turn herself in. Is that really true?

But what price will she have to pay?

Just as Yu Huili was wondering what was going on, the doorbell rang.

Because of what happened online, the family of three didn't go out after returning home, afraid of being seen and gossiped about. They stayed in their room, and immediately became alert when the doorbell rang.

"Who?"

Yu Huili was bold enough to peek through the crack in the door, but she was dumbfounded when she saw several uniformed people standing outside.

……

After returning to the villa, Qiao Luo immediately went to report her victory to Lu Tingnian. She held Xiao Qiao in her arms, and perhaps because they had met before, Xiao Qiao did not feel unfamiliar with her. At least she was quite well-behaved in her arms.

Qiao Luo liked it more and more as she looked at it. She said to Lu Tingnian, "Why don't we take Xiao Qiao with us when we go home? Look how well-behaved it is now."

Lu Tingnian frowned. "Go home?"
