Chapter 8 Chapter 8 At first, it was just a sex scandal

, not big or small, and the company was not listed, nor did it need to be responsible to shareholders.

He himself was not a big shot or a big star, and not many people cared about him.

However, what made Qiao Yihua angry was not the court summons to sue, nor was it the T-type scandal that he was deeply involved in, but the object of the lawsuit, Xiaozhen.

This kind of private matter, whoever spreads it is despicable, for women and men.

In this kind of atmosphere, even the reputation of the victim is more seriously damaged.

It is not important to discuss who is hurt more. Suddenly, the newspapers have been reporting more and more in the past few days, and it seems to have become a local legal issue and social news. Fortunately, the media is not too developed to make any photos.

Qiao Yihua is deeply involved in the vortex, and it can be said that he is almost condemned by thousands of people. Even if the company has decentralization, he is still the core and the most important person in the whole company.

This kind of news even spread to Hong Kong, and the newspapers fabricated a little female star for him, saying that the mainland rich man raised small onions.

Small onions are tender seedlings, young girls, but this kind of news agency immediately refuted the rumor, which made Qiao Yihua a little famous in Hong Kong.

The first time, the quality of the company's business was not affected at all. It was his own scandal that caused everything, and the person who caused everything was his "sister".

Although Xiaozhen has lived in Shanghai for a long time, she seldom travels far away, and there are very few places she can go. However, Shanghai is very big, and it is very difficult to find someone.

She was reluctant to stay in a luxury hotel, and her ID card was not taken away.

There are so many small hotels, and it is not easy to find them one by one.

No matter what the result of this matter is, the person involved will definitely show up.

A few days later, the phone at home rang.

Fangzi was specially arranged by Qiao Yihua to wait for the call at home. Even if she ran away from home, she would not be so cruel as to cut off all contact.

Fangzi quickly picked up the phone, and when he heard the word "hello", he knew that the other party was Xiaozhen.

He asked directly, "Is that Brother Hua whom you sued in court?"

"Brother Fangzi?"

"You answer first!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then a very low voice said, "It's me."

Fangzi knew her much later than Xiaochun. They first met when she was in high school. The impression she had was that she was a very shy and quiet person who loved to study and work. Every time she came to his house for a party, she would set the tableware and help clean up. Whenever Brother Hua drank, he would make a pot of tea to sober him up.

No matter how loud they talked in the living room, Xiaozhen would do her homework quietly. Brother Hua was very nice to her. Whenever he came back from a business trip, he would bring gifts, whether it was fresh food, hair flowers, necklaces, earrings, books, notebooks, pens, etc. He was closer to her than his sister, almost like raising a daughter.

When she was taking the college entrance examination, he staggered the meeting time and went there to wait for Xiaozhen to finish the exam.

In Fangzi's eyes, the ending of the two people must be that Xiaozhen would protect her brother no matter what happened. When Qiao Yihua had money one day, she would definitely have no worries about food and clothing, whether she got married or had children. After Xiaozhen got married, he would break the legs of anyone who dared to bully her.

This was what he saw with his own eyes. When the incident happened, he didn't believe it at all, not a single word. With Xiaozhen's protection and feelings for Qiao Yihua, it was better for her to go to jail, but it was impossible for her to do such a thing.

So after waiting for so long for the call, he asked as soon as possible.

Getting a positive answer was more painful than a knife stabbing in the heart. The back of my head felt cold and I was furious.

"Do you know how big a disaster you have caused? Brother Hua will be killed by you soon! He has been suspended from work and is at home. People outside want to throw stones and rotten eggs at him, you know?"

Xiaozhen hung up the phone immediately.

Fangzi picked up his clothes and went out quickly.

He just vaguely heard the shouting and cursing outside, and he roughly knew which direction it was.

Xiaozhen was out for three or four days. After the court notified her of the trial date, except for the first day she stayed at school, she either sat in the mall all night or sat in the flower bed.

The weather was so cold, but she didn't feel it at all.

When she mustered up the courage to call home, she heard the harsh words from the house, and her mind was instantly "buzzing".

A person on the roadside helped her up from the phone booth and sat down to rest, and brought Xiaozhen a cup of hot water.

What did she want? From childhood to adulthood, even after so many years of affluent life, she still couldn't get rid of the influence of her family in her childhood and adolescence.

Xiaozhen's diary began, just like a dream, without a beginning, but with an end.

From the beginning of her memory, her mother had passed away, and her father was a carpenter in the town, making some odds and ends to supplement the family income.

Because she was a girl, and her mother died within two years of giving birth, he insulted Xiaozhen and the deceased mother all day long.

Because at that time, Xiaozhen's mother spent 1,000 yuan and a sewing machine to marry her. That was the money that her grandparents and he had saved from working for a lifetime, and she died of illness.

Grandma and father went to grandma's house every once in a while to make a fuss, either asking her to pay back the money or scolding her mother for being an "unlucky spirit" for giving birth to a useless girl.

At that time, she was about four or five years old. Although she was insulted, she still had food to eat. Life in the southwest was better than in the rural areas in the mountains.

When she was about six or seven years old and went to elementary school, she would cook some simple meals when she went to school.

But it didn't last long. Her father brought a woman, his new wife, with a child.

It can't be said that the stepmother coaxed her father to beat and scold her. Her father loved to scold her and her mother. With the stepmother and the child, the money earned from work was not enough for the whole family.

So Xiaozhen was sent to her grandmother.

The grandmother was even poorer, and the money earned from mending clothes was not enough for one person.

She was originally a niece of a different surname, not a grandson, and there was no emotion at all.

It was very reluctant.

But Xiaozhen was different from other children who were sent away. She stood behind her father without saying a word, crying or making a fuss. Her eyes were wide open, without begging, nor soaked with tears, and she looked ignorant.

If the child threw a tantrum and cried, he might really be disgusted. It was because he didn't say a word that he kept her.

Many years later, Qiao Yihua also saw such eyes and looks, and accepted her out of heart.

But too many things happened in between.

Grandma was indifferent to her, and would give the money she saved to her grandson, and would give new clothes to her two grandsons first.

Xiaozhen never cried or made a fuss, sitting on a small stool eating rice, occasionally taking a bite of vegetables.

When she came home from school, she would go to the vegetable garden and weed silently behind her grandmother. During the holidays, she would pick beans and help make tofu, and would go to a faraway place to dig sweet potatoes.

No one is a cruel person. Grandma gradually developed feelings for her. She would sew the torn calendars at home into a book with needles for Xiaozhen to use as homework books. She would tuck her in at night, and fan her in the shade in summer. Whenever there was something delicious, she would give it to her grandson without carrying Xiaozhen on her back, and would leave some for her to eat.

When she was young, she was very thin, but later she had a good appetite and never picked food, so she grew taller.

Grandma was reluctant to buy clothes, and would sew the remaining cloth into skirts, which were very beautiful.

These three years were probably the few peaceful childhoods of hers.

My uncle had a car accident, but he only hit someone, and he had to pay a lot of money. Grandma cried bitterly. In a few years, she lost her daughter first, and then her son had a car accident and his right arm was rubbed and unable to move, and he had to pay thousands of yuan to others.

There was no one to take care of the two grandchildren, so the grandmother lived in her son's house to take care of the whole family.

Finally, this day came. At that time, she was in the fourth grade. The weather was hot and humid. Grandma held her hand and the two walked for a long time and arrived home in the evening.

That was her former home.

When she was sent here, her stepmother and father already had a child, and she was pregnant with another child, so there was no way they could take Xiaozhen in.

Grandma cried, her father and stepmother scolded, and only Xiaozhen stood aside and watched it all.

They argued for more than an hour, and Xiaozhen stood there expressionlessly until her grandmother threw down a few hundred yuan and left without looking back. For the first time, she burst into tears, crying and chasing after her, and finally fell to the ground. The neighbors on the street saw this scene and wiped their tears, helped her back home.

A group of people blamed their father for "having a wife and forgetting the baby".

The father temporarily left Xiaozhen because of the neighbors' words.

In the following years, Xiaozhen also forgot how many people she was sent to. One was her grandmother's house. She grew up and no longer dared to beat or scold. Every time she said "trouble" and "very troublesome".

When she was in junior high school, her grandmother and her grandmother passed away one after another. She lived in her uncle's house for a while. Because there was no daughter, her aunt later said that Xiaozhen was "cold and dark", which meant that it was difficult to have any emotions and expressions. She no longer missed having a meal and left after a few months.

She lived alone in her grandmother's attic, which had not been lived in for a long time. It was a bit shabby and dusty, and she cleaned it for a long time.

Because it was close to the junior high school, she could go to school every day and find something to eat and cook for herself.

At that time, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. What would she think about at night?

She would flip through the Chinese textbooks that she had read many times, such as "Hometown" and "Little Orange Lantern", and look at English illustrations that were so far away from her. She was so scared

when there was a knock on the door outside that she dared not move, and her whole body was covered with cold sweat.

It was still dark during the morning reading, and she had to run very fast every time until she heard the voices of people going to school in groups.

After the third year of junior high school, her classmates had dropped out of school in batches in the first semester. Many of them went out to work, thinking that the outside world was a colorful world. At that time, Guangzhou and Shenzhen were the most desirable places.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the flowery and rainy season, she was restless

inside. But she didn't even have the opportunity to sit in the classroom and study properly.

Her father, who had not seen her for many years, saw that she had grown into a labor force, and asked her to drop out of school to take care of her younger brothers and sisters and help collect wood piles .

Xiaozhen stared at him.

As long as she had this expression, she would be beaten on the head at such an old age.

Xiaozhen blushed and spit in his face and ran away.

Later, her father always caught her at the school gate, and Xiaozhen would secretly climb over the wall to study.

But she, a girl, could not escape her fate after all.

After the Spring Festival, Xiaozhen went to school. During that one or two months, her father always brought various people to watch her at the window and door. After school, she didn’t rush to take care of her younger brothers and sisters like before. Everything was fine.

For people in a small town, it was good if two or three people could pass the high school entrance examination in a class. All the others needed to pay high school selection fees. Xiaozhen knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to pass.

She thought that after getting the junior high school diploma, she would secretly run away to another place, earn money by working and never come back.

But before the day of the graduation exam, several men were waiting for Xiaozhen on the way home from school.

Xiaozhen ran away when she saw this.
