Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

Chapter 17: Bringing my daughter back home and becoming a wealthy wife (17)

Cheng Li came to the Xi headquarters under the guidance of her parents. She huddled behind Cheng's father, fearful but determined to win.

They happened to run into Xi Shaoyue and others who were returning from the coffee shop with their friends. Father Cheng greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Xi, I have news about Miss Gu."

He wasted no time in saying this, and just as he expected, Xi Shaoyue stopped and changed direction to walk towards them.

Father Cheng nervously wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, avoiding the sharp gaze of the man in front of him. "Mr. Xi, Miss Gu definitely didn't steal documents and flee abroad as she told others."

"She was kidnapped!"

Xi Shaoyue was stunned, the anger in his eyes seemed to be turning into substance, "What did you say?"

Cheng's father pushed Cheng Li up and let her face Xi Shaoyue's overwhelming aura alone.

"Boss Xi, Gu Shutang disappeared for a few days because she was kidnapped by Li Anan and her uncle. I saw it with my own eyes that day."

"I know where they took Gu Shutang, but..." Cheng Li's heart was pounding. Seeing Xi Shaoyue's anxiety about Gu Shutang, she knew that she could get what she wanted.

Her hesitation made Xi Shaoyue impatient, so he asked directly, "What do you want?"

"I want Xi to help me destroy the Chen family and make that bitch Chen Yan get the retribution she deserves!"

When Cheng Li talked about it, her heart was bleeding. It was all her fault for having poor vision.

Choosing a Zhongshan wolf as a husband not only harmed her family, but also caused her poor child to be unable to be born.

If Chen Yan had not been overly concerned about Li Anan outside the hotel that day, she would not have asked someone to investigate them, and would not have accidentally found out that her fall down the stairs with a big belly a year ago was not an accident.

But it was Chen Yan's long-planned plan. Her son, who was almost full-term, was killed by his biological father for the sake of Li Anan, who treated him as her own brother.

"If your information is correct, Chen's company wouldn't exist. It's just that you had a conflict with Shushu a while ago. How much can I trust your words?"

His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Mr. Xi, I did have some unpleasant experiences with Gu Shutang before, but my family's business was almost ruined by Chen Yan. Chen Yan is my biggest enemy right now."

"The conflict with Miss Gu was just a mistake I made when I was young and impulsive. Now, both I and the Cheng family need a chance to make a comeback."

Coincidentally, Gu Shutang's disappearance was a good opportunity, so she turned back that day and kept an eye on the whereabouts of the group that kidnapped Gu Shutang.

When Cheng Li saw them sending people to the suburbs, she knew her chance had come. Standing up now would be more effective than reporting it as soon as she found out.

The more anxious Xi Shaoyu was about Gu Shutang, and the longer Gu Shutang disappeared, the greater the chance that Xi Shaoyu would agree to her request.

Gu Shutang ran in the wasteland where the weeds were almost taller than her head, running in one direction based on her intuition.

When Yan Guangxi's men were taking her away, she took advantage of their unpreparedness, broke free, and used the weapons they used for self-defense to knock them out successfully and escaped.

During the days of being trapped, one loaf of bread was Gu Shutang's daily ration, and she felt exhausted after running for only an hour.

She was staggering as she walked, but luckily she saw a few houses in the distance, which gave her hope. She reached the houses in one breath.

She borrowed the home phone from a kind old man and lied that her cell phone was turned off and she wanted to call her family, but in fact she was calling the police.

The old man was originally happily waiting for Gu Shutang to call his family, but he heard something wrong in what Gu Shutang said.

It didn't seem like he was reporting safety to his family, but rather like he was calling the police. The old man's face changed drastically and he wanted to drive Gu Shutang out of his house.

"You're such a dishonest girl! You said you were going to call your family, so why did you use my phone to call the police?"

His expression was unnatural, as if he was hiding something shameful. Gu Shutang touched her nose. She didn't expect the old man to react so strongly when she called the police.

"Grandpa, I had no choice but to use your landline to call the police. I haven't eaten for three days since I was kidnapped. When I return safely, I will definitely thank you generously."

The old man's expression softened and he rubbed his hands. "A large sum of money?"

He looked at what Gu Shutang was wearing. The material was of excellent quality to him. Her skin was as white as snow. She looked like a rich girl who had never worked.

The old man bravely asked Gu Shutang for it, "One thousand yuan? Is that okay?"

Gu Shutang was surprised. Seeing the anxious look on the old man's face, she thought he was going to ask for a huge sum of money, but she didn't expect that he only wanted a thousand yuan.

"Of course, I can add two more zeros when I get back."

"No, I only need one thousand yuan. One thousand yuan is enough."

The old man walked towards the kitchen with joy, "My daughter, you must be hungry. I'll make you a bowl of noodles. Our house is simple and we don't have many ingredients. Don't be disgusted."

"Grandpa, I'm not picky."

The kitchen, though uneven in shape, remained tidy. Apart from some pots and pans, there were only three eggs and a basin of washed vegetables.

Gu Shutang followed the old man, chatting with him from time to time, and soon understood why he was afraid of the arrival of the police.

It turned out that the old man had broken one of his legs a few years ago and lived on government subsidies. He picked up a baby grandson outside and raised him for thirteen years.

His grandson, who depended on him for everything, came home from school to see his grandfather lying in bed with a high fever. The family had run out of money and after paying for his tuition, there was nothing left.

On the way to the county town, the old man's grandson cheated his cousin out of a thousand yuan by pretending to be a ghost. He took the old man to see a doctor in time and saved him from danger.

Only the cousin reacted and took her son to the grandfather's house, clamoring to teach her grandson a lesson or take him to the police station.

The grandson was filial to his grandfather. When he saw his cousin in trouble, he immediately decided to drop his studies and go to a big city to work to pay back the money to his cousin, but was stopped by his grandfather.

Even after the old man woke up and wrote the IOU, the cousin still refused to let his grandson go. She went to his house every few days to threaten them and kept talking about calling the police.

In addition to wanting to get the thousand back, he also wanted to take the old man's grandson to the police station for education. Even if he couldn't be sent to the legendary juvenile detention center, he wanted him to be educated by the serious police to get rid of the anger in their hearts.

Seeing that they were coming in a threatening manner, the old grandfather locked his grandson in an old house at the back where no one lived often, and only brought him three meals a day, for fear that if he let him out, he would be taken away by his cousin and her group.

Gu Shutang didn't know what to say. The only thing he could do was to wait for her to get out, pay off the old man's debts, and then improve his life by building a road, collecting agricultural products, etc.
