Chapter 109: A gold bracelet was given as a safety gift.
"You don't need to worry about it. I'm going somewhere tonight, and I'll pick up Uncle after I've made the arrangements."
Song Qiao didn't know which hospital Lu Mingxuan was referring to, but she trusted him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Lu Mingxuan has something to do tonight. Should I go back?
Going home would be too dangerous, but if I don't go back, what if Zhang Dalan comes to the company and makes a scene tomorrow?
In fact, Song Qiao knew that even if she couldn't think of this trick, Jiang Ming would think of it for her.
The home security camera showed that Jiang Ming hadn't returned home yet. Suddenly, she came up with a plan: to reinstall the camera she had thrown away and create the illusion that she was still in the office.
Looking down, she saw that the camera had already been thrown into the water. This approach wouldn't work, so she had to think of another way.
After leaving the company, Song Qiao went to a gold shop and saw a gold bracelet. Although she was very reluctant, she still bought it.
After carefully putting the gold bracelet into her bag, Song Qiao called Zhang Yao.
"Hey! Mr. Song, I've brought back the food. You're not here. When are you coming back?"
"I'll eat it when I get back, you can leave it there!"
Song Qiao called Zhang Yao to tell him not to wait for her, as she would be off work by then.
While other employees work eight hours a day, Zhang Yao spends at least twelve hours with her in the office.
"Are you home? Do you want me to go back with you?"
Zhang Yao asked a question, and Song Qiao knew he was worried about her safety.
"No need, I will take good care of myself, don't worry."
After ending the call with Zhang Yao, Song Qiao drove home.
She had already calculated that if Jiang Ming had dinner at the Moon Palace and then had some intimate time with Zhao Xiaoya in bed, it would take at least an hour if he was satisfied. If he remembered that she was going home tonight, he would go back in half an hour, and she would have to leave the house within that half hour.
Just to be on the safe side, after parking the car and entering the stairwell, Song Qiao deliberately coughed at Liu Yan's door.
Just as she wished, Liu Yan heard the noise and ran out: "Xiao Song, you're back?"
Song Qiao walked up two steps of the stairs and stopped at the top: "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law said she wasn't feeling well, so I came back to check on her!"
"Not feeling well? I saw her talking badly about you to the neighbors downstairs this afternoon."
Liu Yan was clearly on her side.
Song Qiao looked up in the direction of her home: "That's just how she is, I won't stoop to her level. That's why I bought her a gold bracelet, hoping it will make her think better of me."
Liu Yan looked at the gold bracelet in Song Qiao's hand and said indignantly, "Don't go yet. I'll take a picture. If she says anything bad about you again tomorrow, I'll let everyone in the neighborhood see that you even bought her a gold bracelet."
Song Qiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need. I'm in a hurry to get home and cook for her."
Isn't it just pretending? She has to pretend even more convincingly.
"Wait a moment, I'll take the picture and then you can go home."
Liu Yan ran to her room, took out her phone, and took a picture: "Alright, this photo is proof enough. I think this old woman is still lying against her conscience."
Song Qiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go upstairs first."
"Go!"
Song Qiao arrived at her door, took out her key, and was about to open it when she discovered that the lock on the door had been changed.
Song Qiao looked at it and had no choice but to knock on the door: "Open the door!"
Hearing the noise, Zhang Dalan, who was lying on the sofa at home, came over to open the door while cursing: "So you know how to come back? You've been having a good time with that wild man these past few days?"
Song Qiao pretended not to hear Zhang Dalan's words until the door opened.
"Mom! Why was the door lock changed?"
"broken!"
Zhang Dalan gave her a cold look, then turned and went back to the sofa.
"I just replaced the door lock last month, how could it be broken again?"
Song Qiao's gaze returned to the door, looking at the newly changed key.
"I can't do anything about it if the one I just bought is broken. I can't just leave the door unlocked at night, can I?"
"Then where's the house key? Give me one!"
When Zhang Dalan heard Song Qiao ask for the key, she looked at her and said, "I don't know where I put the key. Ranran's father put it there."
Song Qiao had another purpose for coming back this time: to turn on the audio from the surveillance footage she had previously set up. There was only image but no sound, so she had no idea what the family was plotting.
Where is Jiang Ming?
Song Qiao asked deliberately.
"Didn't you go to work? You're still not back. I haven't even finished cooking for you yet."
Zhang Dalan muttered, her mouth full of foul language.
Song Qiao kept Zhang Dalan in her heart, and one day she would find her.
"Mom! Your birthday is coming up soon, so I bought you a gold bracelet. Do you like it?"
Song Qiao deliberately gave her the invoice along with the invoice.
Zhang Dalan doesn't know many words, but she can recognize the numbers and characters on the invoices.
Looking at the gold bracelet that Song Qiao handed her, Zhang Dalan's face immediately lit up with a smile: "It really is gold, worth tens of thousands."
Song Qiao thought to herself: If I weren't afraid you'd find out your granddaughter went crazy in the juvenile detention center, I wouldn't bother with you at all.
"Yes, everyone says gold represents wealth and status, so I bought it for you."
Song Qiao deliberately exposed her bare wrists, which made Zhang Dalan's smile even wider.
"Mom, sit down and let me put it on you so you can try it on!"
Song Qiao asked Zhang Dalan to sit on the sofa and asked her to reach out and help her put it on: "It immediately makes you look much more elegant."
Zhang Dalan's hostility towards Song Qiao vanished instantly. She looked up at Song Qiao and said, "She really is quite beautiful."
Seeing that Zhang Dalan was happy, Song Qiao looked at her and said, "Mom! I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Zhang Dalan looked up at the golden light shining in through the window and asked.
“I sent Ranran to a boarding school where the teachers are stricter, mainly to help control her temper.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dalan looked at Song Qiao and asked, "Does her mother...do her father know?"
“I know! We discussed it. This time, Jiang Ming injured that child and paid him one million. You know, children are like saplings; they won’t grow straight if they aren’t pruned, so I sent her over.”
Seeing Zhang Dalan's expression turn cold, Song Qiao continued, "Don't worry, I paid tens of thousands of yuan to that school, and they take very good care of her. I'll go see her when I have time."
Seeing that Zhang Dalan's complexion had warmed up a bit, Song Qiao said, "The main thing is that I'm worried that you're too tired from taking the kids to school every day. You're getting on in years, and you're making so many trips a day. My company is also busy. This way you can relax a bit, and you can dress up nicely and go square dancing in the future."
"A boarding school? Not a correctional facility?"
Zhao Xiaoya was talking to her about the correctional facility.
"No, it's just a boarding school. When I took her there today, I bought her toys and snacks. Everything she eats and wears is new, so don't worry."
Zhang Dalan didn't say anything more because of the bracelet. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Speaking of which, Ranran is spoiled rotten. Let her go."
Song Qiao wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the gold bracelet to leave this house as soon as possible, and Jiang Ming would be back soon too.
"Don't worry, she'll be obedient and well-behaved again when she comes back from there."
After saying this, Song Qiao looked at Zhang Dalan and asked, "Mom, isn't there any food at home?"
Zhang Dalan's face darkened, and remembering the bracelet she had just bought, she hurriedly said, "I'll go make it for you right away!"
While Zhang Dalan was in the kitchen, Song Qiao got up and went to the antique shelf.
She glanced at the door, quickly removed the camera, and just as she was about to check the sound, Jiang Ming's voice rang out from the doorway: "If she dares to come home, then she's got guts."
"Zhao Xiaoya is back too?"
