Chapter 1322: Creating Opportunities, Delighted to See Success
Luo Qiao felt a tight discomfort in her heart as she followed step by step into the room, scenes of their time spent together flashing before her eyes, and tears unconsciously began to stream down.
After everyone had calmed down, Luo Qiao learned from others the cause and sequence of events.
It turned out to be the handiwork of Zhong Zhaowei, who came home drunk and started acting crazy; apparently discontented, he took his frustration out on Zou Lina by beating her. Zou Lina, unwilling to stay home and be beaten, ran out.
After the rain stopped, having had their meal, the elder gentlemen of the courtyard were sunbathing in the small square, idly chatting.
When Zou Lina ran out and saw there were many people around, she ran towards them, thinking Zhong Zhaowei would restrain himself in the crowd. However, she didn’t expect him to not only beat and kick her but also to knock over an elderly man in a wheelchair nearby.
Old Master Yuan saw his old friend about to fall from the wheelchair and tried to catch him in his urgency. Due to the abruptness of the event, it was too late by the time everyone reacted.
It was Xiao Zhang, who was beside Master Yuan, that quickly stepped forward to assist, catching the falling wheelchair. But because it had just rained, and the ground was still wet, Master Yuan slipped and fell.
Just as Xiao Zhang righted the wheelchair, he saw his own master fall and turned to pull him up but grabbed at air.
Zhong Zhaowei saw Master Yuan bleeding from his head, got scared, sobered up halfway, realized the situation was bad, and ran off.
No matter how furious they were, it was true that Master Yuan was gone. The whole courtyard became upset with the Zhong Family, especially those from Elder Lu’s home, whose life Master Yuan had saved.
