Chapter 223: Is grandma dating someone recently?
The legal penalty for attempted rape is three to ten years, and for intentional bodily harm the person is sentenced to less than three years.
Li Qingwen knew that when she decided to retaliate against Jiang Lei, she was already intentionally harming him.
Zhou Yongan also knew this, so he decisively snatched her kettle that day and did it for her.
But what she was thinking about at that time was why the temperature of the lake water was not high enough so that she could not threaten Jiang Lei, so she reluctantly boiled another pot of water that could threaten Jiang Lei.
She just wanted to pour water on him, but Zhou Yongan was more ruthless. He poured water on that spot, and Jiang Lei's life was ruined.
"You don't have to express your father's emotions to me. I don't care." Li Qingwen said.
Kevin knew she had misunderstood his meaning when he saw her speak so harshly: "I am telling you that your ex-husband has made a lot of efforts and suffered a lot because of this matter. So, does he still care about you so much?"
Li Qingwen felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and said coldly: "He was the one who beat him up, so of course he should deal with it."
Kevin held the wine glass and deliberately reminded her: "He fought for you."
"He was just brave enough to do what was right when he saw injustice. Most people would do the same if they saw something wrong." She pretended not to care.
Kevin smiled and said no more: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. What about you? Have you thought about how to repay such a great favor?"
This matter is really hard to say. She was clearly trying to stay away from Zhou Yongan and not have anything to do with him anymore.
But it seems that things always develop in the opposite direction of expectations.
Zhou Yongan hasn't contacted her in the past few days. Although there is no contact information now, he has not come to Jiyue Mansion either.
Perhaps her attitude that day was like a thorn that embedded itself in his flesh, and he would feel chilled to the bone whenever he thought of it.
……
Zhou Yongan has been concentrating on handling company business these days and is so tired that he has no time to care about anything outside the company.
He asked his assistant to handle Jiang Lei's matter and never showed up in front of Jiang's family or Lao Liang.
The worst that could happen to him was to call the police, it wasn't like he was in the wrong, but his eldest brother called him and suppressed the matter.
First, he considered that the exposure of the matter would affect Li Qingwen's reputation. Second, the part where he invited Jiang Lei to drink hot water was indeed suspected of intentional injury.
After the two sides counteracted each other, they didn't call the police. The incident had already happened and it was time to deal with it.
Although the matter had been dealt with, Zhou Yongan felt depressed by Li Qingwen's attitude towards him.
Therefore, I immerse myself in work every day, forcing my brain cells to work at overload, striving to successfully implement all of Huayun Investment Bank's businesses in China as soon as possible.
Assistant Qin Wei has followed him since the United States. He is good at observing people's words and expressions, is meticulous in his work, and is also able to handle problems.
A few days ago, he heard Zhou Yongan say on the phone, "I'll go visit grandma when I have time, I'm busy now," and he concluded that Zhou Yongan didn't like his grandma.
So when a call came in from someone claiming to be Yongan's grandmother, Qin Wei cleverly told the other party: "Boss Zhou is in a meeting."
The old lady said, "Tell him to call me after the meeting."
Qin Wei: "Okay."
Then, when reporting to Zhou Yongan, Qin Wei did not mention the phone call at all.
So the next day, grandma called again, and Qin Wei answered: "Hello?"
The old lady was not happy: "Let Yongan answer the phone."
Qin Wei glanced at Zhou Yongan who was taking a nap in the office with his eyes closed, and said, "Boss Zhou is not in the company right now, what can I do for you, Madam?"
The old lady had no choice but to leave a message: "Tell him to come back to the old house tomorrow. I have something important to tell him."
Qin Wei: "Excuse me, what is the important matter? I need to judge whether it is really important to Mr. Zhou before considering reporting it to him."
The old lady didn't know where her second grandson found such an unruly assistant, and she was about to scold him, but there were not many ways to contact her second son, so she held back.
"About Li Qingwen."
Qin Wei opened his eyes slightly: "I understand."
The next day, Zhou Yongan took time out of his busy schedule to visit the old house.
In the yard, Zhou Yongan joked when he saw his grandmother: "I haven't seen you for half a year. Grandma looks so young now, and her white hair is getting less and less."
Auntie Lan at the side smiled and explained: "The old lady asked someone to come to the house to help dye it black."
The old lady complained, "You've been back for so long, but you haven't come to see me yet. Do you really not treat me as your grandma?"
Zhou Yongan turned the tables and said, "I was planning to give grandma a surprise, but you're so well-informed. Now there's no sense of surprise at all."
I'm still surprised and I'm talking to her here.
The old lady didn't buy it. She knew in her heart that if she didn't look for him, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to visit her for a whole year.
"I heard that you beat up a man named Jiang and burned his vitals." The old lady said bluntly.
Zhou Yongan did not deny it: "He should."
The old lady did not express her attitude, but asked him: "Xiao Wen didn't let him succeed, did he?"
Zhou Yongan stared at the old lady and said, "Grandma, why did you suddenly mention an outsider? She is not your granddaughter-in-law now."
The old lady snorted, "She's an outsider, is it worth it for you to do this for her?"
Zhou Yongan was unsure of his grandmother's intention, and thought the radio next to him was too noisy, so he turned it off.
Aunt Lan looked at the old lady helplessly.
The old lady looked sullen and waved her hand for her to take it in.
After Auntie Lan left, the old lady said, "I've been using this radio for more than half a year and I like it very much. I always thought it was a gift from you, until a few days ago when Xiaolan told me the truth. It was a New Year's gift from Xiaowen."
Zhou Yongan stood there with his hands behind his back, staring at the wall in the yard covered with green vines.
The old lady's voice was heavy and regretful: "You know Huayu's situation. The Zhou family is in a passive position now. They are ridiculed by their peers, but praised by outsiders."
Zhou Yongan said nothing, his eyes fixed on the green arrow-feathered vegetation at the foot of the wall. The dark green leaves were clean and tidy, and had a noble aura that was superior to other vegetation.
The old lady said: "If you still want to get back together with Xiaowen, grandma won't say anything."
The summer breeze blew in over the wall, bringing a hint of dryness and stuffiness.
Zhou Yongan raised the corners of his lips bitterly, feeling extremely ironic: "She is living a good life now and doesn't need me anymore."
The old lady was silent for a moment: "How could that be? She insisted on staying in Huayu, I think it was for you."
Zhou Yongan looked at grandma curiously: "Grandma, are you dating anyone recently?"
The old lady glared at him: "Nonsense."
Zhou Yongan said seriously, "Li Qingwen is in Huayu because her career started from Huayu. Now that she is a shareholder, she cannot go to other banks. This is forced by the situation, not for me."
He spoke clearly, as if he really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Qingwen.
Seeing her grandson was not in a hurry, the old lady frowned even more deeply: "You really don't want to remarry her?"
