Chapter 202: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Uncle Zhong the Ninth’s hesitation was all clear in Li Qiao’s eyes.
She lowered her gaze to her toes and pursed her lips, "He’s your son, I won’t do anything to him. But if I hadn’t come today, the teacher’s left hand probably couldn’t have been saved, right?"
"It’s all the sins I committed in the past, my family has fallen on hard times," Uncle Zhong the Ninth finally murmured self-mockingly after a long silence.
Li Qiao didn’t want to pry into the secrets between father and son.
She took a small step back, pushed open the front door, and nodded towards the stairs, "Let’s go, since he came for me this time, there’s no need for the teacher to get involved."
Uncle Zhong the Ninth was speechless for a moment, with many words stuck in his throat, unable to speak. Aside from a rueful smile with teary eyes, he could only shake his head in sorrow.
Li Qiao helped the stumbling Uncle Zhong the Ninth descend the stairs, unsure of what had happened to him, his body once so sturdy, now so frail.
Downstairs, an SUV was parked at the entrance of the building unit. Fu Lvting, seeing the two of them, hurried out of the car to help, "Is the old man injured?"
Uncle Zhong the Ninth shook his head without speaking; Li Qiao didn’t say anything either.
