Chapter 217 The Right to Sell a House
Chapter 217 The Right to Sell a House
It wasn't until he stepped into the mirage that Jiang Ming realized how Zhao Xiaoya could have sold the project and the correctional facility in the east of the city so quickly. Zhou Dali must have helped her.
"I don't have the person you're looking for here. What does Zhao Xiaoya do for a living?"
Jiang Ming did not know Zhou Dali, but Zhou Dali knew him.
Ten years ago, Zhao Xiaoya never told Jiang Ming the truth about her relationship with Zhou Dali.
When she left Zhou Dali, she used a scheme. First, she became friends with his wife, and then she showed him photos of the two of them having afternoon tea together. Because Zhou Dali made his fortune with his father-in-law's help, he didn't dare let his wife know about their relationship, which is how Zhao Xiaoya succeeded.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming angrily asked, "Stop playing dumb, I know everything. You've been with my wife Zhao Xiaoya the whole time. Tell me, where is she?"
Zhou Dali raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Isn't your wife Song Qiao? Zhao Xiaoya? Stop thinking about her. She was mine ten years ago, and she'll still be mine from now on, unless I get tired of her and don't want her anymore, then I'll give her to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's clenched fists cracked loudly.
"Jiang Ming, you don't know this, do you? Zhao Xiaoya has always been my little wildcat. Ten years ago, she cheated on me and you took her away. This time she came back. If she hadn't come to me, I would have given up. But she begged me to help her sell her house, the house in the correctional facility, and the house in Sunshine Community. She said her husband died and she has a child. I only helped her because of our past."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming slammed his hand on the table: "You're talking nonsense! I already have her child."
Zhou Dali shook his head, seemingly ignoring the question: "Jiang Ming, you shouldn't have betrayed your wife."
He walked up to Jiang Ming and pointed a finger at his collarbone: "Because a woman like Zhao Xiaoya can't compare to the eldest daughter of the Song family. What's laughable is that you even divorced your wife because of her. You're truly blind and heartless!"
Because of malnutrition, Jiang Ming couldn't withstand Zhou Dali's constant poking and took a step back to stand still: "Zhou Dali, please tell me where Zhao Xiaoya went? I need to find her and get my money back. If I lose that money, I'm finished."
Zhou Dali looked at Jiang Ming with a pitiful expression, and dialed Zhao Xiaoya's number right in front of him, only to hear a mechanical reply.
"That bitch ran away, probably went abroad."
Upon hearing Zhou Dali's words, Jiang Ming stumbled back several steps, nearly falling. He muttered, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"
"You think Zhao Xiaoya is going to live a good life with you? She's after your money. That's how she was ten years ago, and that's how she is now. As for that child, it's just bait she threw out to trap you."
After emerging from the mirage, Jiang Ming was disoriented. Even so, he dared not show his face for fear of being caught by the police. Thinking that tomorrow was the day he and Song Qiao would divorce, he wanted to run away.
This city can no longer accommodate him; the only place he can go is his hometown, a sparsely populated mountain village that probably no one can find.
But going back wasn't so easy. He only had a dozen yuan on him, so he looked at the trash can next to him.
The journey is over 100 kilometers, and even taking the bus would cost tens of yuan in fare. Collecting garbage is his only source of income.
After dropping off Tong Yao, Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan drove to Yushan.
An hour later, the two parked the car in front of the villa and got out.
In the courtyard, Lu Wenguang watched Yun Miao tidying up the small arched sheds in the vegetable garden. She bought some plastic film and used bamboo strips to make arched frames on the vegetable garden, then covered them with plastic film so that they could eat fresh vegetables even in winter.
The villa is built at the foot of the mountain, where there is plenty of sunshine. In winter, the mountain behind it blocks the northwest winds from coming from the north, so the villa is not cold at all. Every winter, they can eat fresh vegetables.
Seeing Yun Miao busy by herself, Lu Mingxuan called out to his grandfather and aunt and went over to help.
Song Qiao then went to Lu Wenguang's side to inquire about his health.
"Why didn't you bring Yao Yao along?" Lu Wenguang asked Song Qiao.
Song Qiao hurriedly explained, "Next time, we'll bring her next time, Grandpa! We'll just take the herbs and leave this time."
"Not eating at home anymore?"
"I'm not eating anymore. I have very important things to do when I get back."
Hearing Song Qiao's words, Lu Wenguang nodded: "Okay!"
Then she looked up at Lu Mingxuan, who was helping her, and said, "Xiao Xuan, leave that to your aunt. Come to my room for a moment, I have some things to tell you."
After Lu Mingxuan helped Yun Miao cover the plastic film, he said, "Auntie, you can do the rest of the work yourself. I'm going to check on Grandpa!"
"Go ahead, I'll cook in a bit. You and Song Qiao can eat at home before you leave."
Lu Mingxuan quickly said, "I won't eat this time. I have things to do when I get back. I'll eat next time I come back."
Lu Mingxuan entered the room, where Lu Wenguang was sitting on the sofa, instructing Song Qiao on how to take the herbal medicine.
"This is the medicinal guide. Add the gastrodia elata when these herbs are almost cooked. Remember that?"
"I understand, Grandpa!"
Seeing that Lu Mingxuan had also gone over, Lu Wenguang hurriedly said, "These medicines are for you. Take them back, boil them, and drink them. Your back injury will be healed in three days, and you won't need any more injections."
Lu Wenguang had never had an injection in his life. When he saw his grandson lying there receiving an IV drip, he was very worried. When he returned home, he got some medicine for his grandson to take home and take.
"Grandpa! Don't worry, I'll brew this medicine for Mingxuan." Song Qiao said, looking at the medicine she had prepared for Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Wenguang nodded: "Since you have things to do back home, I won't keep you any longer."
The two, carrying the medicine, bid farewell to Lu Wenguang and Yun Miao and drove back to Jiangcheng.
Zhao Xiaoya was arrested at the airport. After the police took her and Jiang Xiaoran back, they called Song Qiao.
On the way, Song Qiao saw that it was Officer Liu's number and answered: "Hello! Officer Liu."
"Zhao Xiaoya was attempting to flee with a large sum of money, but we apprehended her at the airport. You and Lu Mingxuan need to come to the police station."
Upon hearing that Zhao Xiaoya was about to run away, Song Qiao quickly turned on the security camera footage from the apartment in Sunshine Community and found that it was the same man from yesterday sitting in the living room.
Zhao Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoran were no longer in the room. The man was sitting there watching TV when someone knocked on the door. He stood up to open it.
Song Qiao sat in the passenger seat staring at her phone. Lu Mingxuan turned around and glanced at her, asking, "The surveillance footage from Sunshine Community?"
"Yes, Zhao Xiaoya ran away, and it seems she sold the house."
Then, the scene appeared: the man opened the door, and there stood Zhang Guangming.
Zhang Guangming quickly introduced himself: "I am Ms. Song Qiao's lawyer. I am here to settle this matter concerning the house she purchased before her marriage."
"Wait a minute, I bought this house from Zhao Xiaoya, how did it become Song...Song Qiao's?"
"I have your home purchase records here, you can take a look!"
Zhang Guangming handed the materials in his hand to the man at the door.
