Chapter 610 Zhao Qinqin's Nightmare
The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Jiang Yuan saw a familiar little bird land on the windowsill behind Zhao Qinqin.

She pursed her lips gently, got up, and went to open the window.

Xiao Moyan immediately greeted her: "Yuan Yuan, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Xiao Moyan," Jiang Yuan said softly. "I have something to do, you'll have to wait for me."

Little Mo Yan nodded obediently: "It's okay, you go ahead with your work, Yan will go play in the director's office."

Jiang Yuan watched it fly upstairs, raised an eyebrow, and closed the window again.

She returned to her seat and saw that Zhao Qinqin's forehead was covered in sweat.

So nervous?

Si Heng said calmly, "Ms. Zhao, the person Zhao Guangshu hit was Zhou Yijian's son, Zhou Li."

Zhao Qinqin's expression changed instantly, her eyes widening in astonishment, her voice trembling, "Guangshu went to... to beat Zhou Li?"

“Yes.” Si Heng’s tone became more serious. “Zhao Guangshu had the intention to kill. If the police hadn’t arrived at the scene in time to rescue Zhou Li, Zhao Guangshu would likely have become the murderer.”

“No, that’s impossible.” Zhao Qinqin shook her head vigorously. “Guangshu would never do such a thing.”

Si Heng took out the footage recorded by the peregrine falcon last night and turned the phone screen towards her. "This is the process of Zhao Guangshu abusing Zhou Li."

Zhao Qinqin saw a familiar figure on the screen, her lips trembling slightly, "How could Guangshu..."

"Ms. Zhao, is Zhao Guangshu really your son with Zhou Yijian?" Si Heng's tone suddenly sharp, carrying an undeniable and domineering aura.

Zhao Qinqin pursed her lips tightly, a look of pain and struggle appearing between her brows and eyes.

Jiang Yuan gently comforted her, "Ms. Zhao, if it really was Zhou Yijian who was drunk and forced you to do something against your will back then, you can speak out. Even though more than 20 years have passed, you can still hold him criminally liable."

Zhao Qinqin took a deep breath, her slightly aged face filled with sorrow, and choked out, "Zhou Yijian didn't force me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu, who was taking notes, subconsciously looked up from her laptop screen at her partner.

Is Zhou Yijian really going to betray Zhou Li's trust in him?
Zhao Qinqin took another heavy breath, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, and said, "Guangshu is not Zhou Yijian's son."

Xiao Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Si Heng's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked, "Then why did Zhao Guangshu say those things about Zhou Yijian?"

Zhao Qinqin lowered her head, her shoulders slumped, and she said weakly, "It's my fault."

Zhou Li's mother, Xie Yuemei, was her aunt's niece. Years ago, she visited her aunt with her boyfriend, Zhou Yijian.

Zhou Yijian was handsome and charming, and Zhao Qinqin was captivated by him at first sight.

From then on, Zhao Qinqin tried every means to see Zhou Yijian.

But he was Xie Yuemei's boyfriend, so she dared not do anything and could only secretly admire him.

Zhao Qinqin always thought she had hidden it well and that no one would find out her secret. However, a friend of Zhou Yijian, named Zhou Laoliu, not only found out but also directly exposed her secret.

Zhao Qinqin was both angry and ashamed. She scolded Zhou Laoliu and ran away.

One time, Zhou Laoliu stopped her and said he was willing to match her with Zhou Yijian.

"really?"

"Would I lie to you? That Xie Yuemei is too pretentious, I don't like her."

"Then...how are you going to help me?" Zhao Qinqin took it seriously.

Zhou Laoliu: "Dress nicely tonight, I'll arrange for you to have dinner with Zhou Yijian."

"Okay!" Zhao Qinqin agreed without hesitation. That night, Zhao Qinqin wore the best polka dot dress in her wardrobe to the date.

Zhao Qinqin sat in the restaurant for half an hour, but Zhou Yijian still hadn't appeared. She asked anxiously, "Why isn't he here yet?"

"Don't rush." ​​Zhou Laoliu poured wine into her glass. "Handsome guys are just a bit slow when they go out. You can go back if you don't want to wait."

Zhao Qinqin certainly wouldn't go back; she didn't want to miss this opportunity to get to know the person she loved.

"Girl, listen to your brother, drink the wine." Zhou Laoliu said with a smile. "Your business will definitely succeed tonight."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Qinqin asked, puzzled.

Zhou Laoliu raised an eyebrow at her: "You're such a coward, you don't even dare to say a word to Zhou Yijian normally. Don't you need to drink some alcohol to boost your courage? I can help you get him to come out, but I can't help you confess your feelings."

Zhao Qinqin thought about it and realized that there was some truth to it.

She is indeed very timid.

Zhao Qinqin steeled her resolve, tilted her head back, and drank the wine.

Zhou Laoliu kept pouring her drinks, one cup after another.

These were the last memories Zhao Qinqin had. When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying in Zhou Laoliu's arms, completely naked.

"Ah—" she screamed, "You bastard!"

Zhao Qinqin kicked Zhou Laoliu off the bed.

Zhou Laoliu stood up, rubbing his backside, and glared angrily at Zhao Qinqin, "What's wrong with you, woman?"

"Didn't you say you'd help me get Eason Chan to meet up?" Zhao Qinqin complained, tears streaming down her face. "Why has it turned out like this?"

“What can I do if he doesn’t come?” Zhou Laoliu said matter-of-factly. “Besides, you were the one who took the initiative last night.”

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Qinqin retorted, crying. "I don't like you, why would I take the initiative with you?"

"You're drunk, you're mistaking me for Eason Chan!" Zhou Laoliu rolled his eyes. "I'm a man full of vigor, you seduced me like that... you can't blame me for that, can you?"

This incident became a nightmare for Zhao Qinqin.

"Later I found out I was pregnant." Zhao Qinqin clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, and her breathing became rapid. "In those days, being pregnant out of wedlock was a huge mistake. My family pointed their fingers at me and scolded me for being shameless..."

"I didn't know what to do, so I went to find Zhou Laoliu."

"I never expected that heartless bastard Zhou Laoliu would deny it!" Zhao Qinqin slammed her fist on the table. "He asked me how I could prove the child in my belly is his!"

Zhao Qinqin's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with resentment, "How could he humiliate me like that? From that day on, I blamed everything on Zhou Yijian!"

Xiao Xu frowned, thinking to himself that Zhou Yijian was really unlucky.

"Then why did you give birth to the child?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know…” Zhao Qinqin shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “I was out of my mind at the time and insisted on giving birth to the child.”

“I always imagine that one day I will bring my child to Zhou Yijian and let him see clearly that this is the bitter fruit he has sown.”

Xiao Xu: "..."

She pursed her lips and couldn't help but remind him, "But Zhou Yijian didn't do anything wrong."

“Yes,” Zhao Qinqin said, tears streaming down her face. “He did nothing wrong. I’m the one who trapped myself in hatred.”

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "You shouldn't have involved the next generation."

"No, I didn't. I didn't tell Guangshu about this." Zhao Qinqin's eyes showed a hint of confusion. "How did he know?"
