She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 960

Madam Zhou is gone?

This news was beyond my expectation, but when I thought about it carefully, it made sense.

The old lady was already old, and a lot of things had happened in the Zhou family in the past two months, and she was worried a lot. She had been to the hospital twice just because of Zhou Hanzhi's matter. The incident when Zhou Hanzhi broke into my engagement scene even made her faint with anger. An 80-year-old woman would definitely not be able to bear such repeated ordeals.

This time, whether she was exhausted and could no longer support her tired body, or because her past shameful behavior was exposed and she died in fear, has become a mystery that no one can solve.

I looked at Zhou Hanzhi. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the news of Madam Zhou's death, but he quickly regained his seriousness and said, "Get ready and go back to Beijing-Hong Kong tonight."

At this time, I was also busy starting the machine.

My cell phone had run out of battery a long time ago. Before Old Man Sun went into the operating room to rescue Zhou Hanzhi, I didn’t expect Zeng Zhi to be so thoughtful and help me charge it.

He was very sensible. Although he helped me charge my phone, he did not open it without my permission.

As soon as I turned on the phone, a bunch of messages came in, including WeChat messages, text messages, and missed call reminders.

And when I turned on my phone, a call came in.

It was my aunt, and she said anxiously, "Xuxu, where are you? I just found out about Xiaoye."

I immediately took my phone and left the ward. When I mentioned Ono, my mood immediately became heavy: "I'm in Shan Province to take care of something and will be back soon."

"Why did you go to Shan Province? When will you come back? I heard that Xiao Ye's case has been investigated clearly, and the Yuan family is preparing for the funeral. You have to be there." Aunt's tone was urgent.

Has Ono's matter been investigated?

Hearing this, I couldn't wait any longer: "Okay, I'll buy a ticket and go back right away."

I thought Zhou Hanzhi would be unhappy when I told him that we should leave and go back to Beijing and Hong Kong, but he just asked quietly, "Did you find out anything about Yuan Tianye's case?"

"Yes, so I have to go back immediately." I am still Ono's nominal fiancée. No matter what, I have to be there. Ono's affairs are my top priority.

However, when I said this, I still unconsciously avoided Zhou Hanzhi's gaze and dared not look directly into his eyes.

I was also worried that he would be unhappy about this. After all, he has always cared about Ono's existence and the relationship between Ono and me.

Unexpectedly, he was silent for just a few seconds, then ordered Zeng Zhi at the side: "Zeng Zhi, send her to the airport."

He actually accepted it so readily? He even arranged for Zeng Zhi to take me there?

I looked up at Zhou Hanzhi in surprise. His dark eyes were extremely calm, without anger or resentment. He also reminded me, "Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to send me a message when you get home."

"Just that?" I was really surprised.

Zhou Hanzhi knew about the relationship between Xiaoye and I, and also knew that we almost got married. He was always jealous before and tried every means to stop me from marrying Xiaoye, but at this moment, he was so calm and composed.

"And." Zhou Hanzhi gently held my hand, and his dark eyes finally showed some emotion. "Don't forget to think about me. I'll be back with you soon."

His eyes suddenly became burning, staring at my face, making my cheeks hot, because I instantly recalled the situation before Zeng Zhi came in.

My face got even hotter.

Five minutes later, I hurriedly left the hospital and Zeng Zhi took me to the airport.

The flight from Shandong Province to Beijing and Hong Kong is very fast. Two hours later, Zhang Tingyuan picked me up at the airport and we headed to the Yuan family together.

In the car, Xiaoyuan told me the outcome of the case: "Yuan Youan has been arrested, and he has confessed that he did it for the inheritance of the Yuan family. You are the daughter of the Zhao family, and now you have recognized your parents. Marrying Xiaoye is a strong alliance. The future inheritance of the Yuan family will definitely be given to him, so he took action."

"It's really because of these." My fingertips dug into my palm, but the pain went deep into my heart. I couldn't suppress my excitement. "Just for these little things, he wants to kill a life? That's his own brother. He has always been so protective of his brother! How could he have the heart to do this?"

In addition to grief, there is also deep anger.

Although Yuan Youan is not Xiaoye's full brother, Xiaoye has always treated him as a family member. He not only respects him but also protects him. Although Xiaoye's feelings for Yuan Youan are not as close as those for Xiaoyuan, in Xiaoye's heart, Yuan Youan is the eldest brother and a member of the family. The complete family he wants includes Yuan Youan and Yuan Jianing.

Ono has always been very protective of me and would not let anyone show any dissatisfaction or hostility towards me. But that time when I followed Ono back to the Yuan family and Yuan Youan was making things difficult for me, only Sister Min and Mr. Yuan spoke up to protect me. Ono stood by and did not say much.

Later, when I mentioned Yuan Youan to him, his attitude was to defend Yuan Youan. He had deep respect and affection for this big brother.

I was quite dissatisfied with Yuan Youan at the time and wanted to remind Ono to pay attention to his elder brother, but after seeing Ono's attitude, I suppressed all these words.

That was the first time I suppressed my discomfort in front of Ono, and the reason was Yuan Youan. But Yuan Youan actually could do something to such a person like Ono.

Has his conscience been eaten by dogs?

"So some people really don't deserve sympathy. No wonder they were not blessed from the beginning! He is just like his birth, stolen." In the rearview mirror, Zhang Tingyuan's eyes turned red and his voice was full of hatred.

"Stolen?" I actually wanted to ask in detail, but I didn't have time.

Because at this time we have arrived at Yuan's house.

Ono's spirit was resting in the middle of the living room of the Yuan family's old house. The yard was filled with a sad atmosphere. When I rushed to the Yuan family's living room, the atmosphere was solemn, and the first thing I heard was Sister Min's voice.

"Get out!"

I paused, looked up, and saw a figure I had seen before. Then I realized that Sister Min was not scolding me.

Instead, it was Yuan Jianing who was standing at the door of the living room.

She was wearing a plain long dress and holding flowers in her arms. Her face, which always smiled gently and kindly, was full of sorrow. She was very humble and pleaded with Sister Min in a low voice: "Mother, Xiaoye is my brother and also my family. I am also very sad about what happened. Please give me this opportunity to say goodbye to him?"

"Who is your mother? Are you worthy of calling me mother? Don't disgust me!" Sister Min's eyes were red and swollen, and her fingertips were about to poke Yuan Jianing's nose, "You two are test tube fertilization garbage! Get away!"
