Chapter 709: I helped Qiao Minglei
Indeed, as Pei Tingyuan guessed, Erik was halfway to the law firm by car, he turned around and drove on the road at random, like a headless fly, without an exact direction.
Half an hour later, he parked his car in front of an electronics store, bought a new mobile phone and two calling cards, and then returned to the car and continued to drive aimlessly.
When it was almost time to shop, he went back to the apartment building, then called his men and explained something.
When it was all done, he returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Xihe heard the movement, suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and got out of bed, but the sequelae of being too excited just now had not passed, she was dizzy for a while as soon as she stood up, fortunately there was a soft bed behind her, she quickly sat down, rubbed her forehead, and shouted: "Eric, are you back?"
"It's me who is back. Eric answered, pushed open the door, and walked into the bedroom, his face beaming with joy.
When Qiao Xihe saw it, her nervous heart suddenly calmed down a lot, because she knew that Eric would show such an expression, it must be good news about her father.
"How's it going, what did the lawyer say?" she asked eagerly.
Eric sat down in the chair across from her, patted the back of her hand, and smiled, "Good news." ”
Qiao Xihe said anxiously: "Don't sell it to me, say it quickly!"
"Uh-huh. Eric said: "Actually, there is one thing that I have never dared to tell you before, that your father was investigated because of Lu Qingping." ”
"Lu Qingping?" Qiao Xihe said, "Isn't it Lu Yang's third uncle......?" What does this have to do with him?"
Eric said unhurriedly: "Lu Qingping was involved in a case, and when the police were investigating him, they accidentally found that he was likely to frame your father back then. ”
Qiao Xihe's eyes lit up.
Eric nodded and said, "The person who reported your father's corruption and bribery back then was Lu Qingping. ”
"......" Qiao Xihe gasped.
Eric continued: "But the matter is not very sure, there is no conclusive evidence, I am afraid that when the time comes, you will be in a bad mood, and you can't take care of the baby, so I haven't dared to tell you, and I lied to you that I haven't found any valuable news, but I have been using my connections to assist the police in the investigation, and the effort has paid off, and I finally found useful evidence not long ago and handed it over to the police." I didn't expect that I was busy with work here, and I haven't received the news yet, so the lawyer will come to inform you first. ”
Tears of joy welled up in Qiao Xihe's eyes, "You...... Do you mean to say that my father was wronged and has now been cleared of his grievances?"
"Yes, your father is innocent. Eric nodded affirmatively and pulled out his newly bought phone in his trouser pocket, "This is my new one on the way back, if you don't believe me, you can call the lawyer now." ”
Qiao Xihe nodded.
Eric dialed out the phone in a fake way, and soon a person who claimed to be a paralegal picked up the phone and told Qiao Xihe the general situation of the case, exactly the same as what Eric said.
But......
Qiao Xihe listened to the voice a little unfamiliar, and asked, "You are not the paralegal who called me before, are you? What about the others? And my lawyer?"
The man said unhurriedly: "He, he went out to buy coffee on an errand, and he has to stay up late tonight to catch up with the materials, and the lawyer is still having a video conference, and he is busy today." ”
"That's it, thank you......" Qiao Xihe was completely convinced at this time, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Eric sincerely: "Thank you for helping my dad." ”
"No thanks. Eric laughed and secretly deleted the call log.
After all, this so-called paralegal is actually a young detective from a private detective agency pretending to be doing things for him, and in the excitement, Qiao Xihe didn't notice that there was a problem with the phone number, but in order to prevent future goofs, it is better to delete it in time.
Aunt Du listened to their conversation and could already guess seventy-seven-eighty-eight, so she interjected with a smile at this time: "Then now, you can eat, right?"
Qiao Xihe breathed a long sigh of relief, and after his mood improved, he found that he was hungry, and he was afraid that the baby was going to protest, so he hurriedly said, "Well, I'm going to eat!"
"Come, let's go. Eric took the initiative to hold Qiao Xihe's arm and led her to the dining table, "By the way, Aunt Du, this is my newly bought mobile phone, I hope you like it." ”
He took out his mobile phone and handed it to Aunt Du.
"Ah, I haven't used this new mobile phone yet......" Aunt Du looked at the phone over and over, "It must be very expensive, right? No, no, my old man's machine is only a few hundred yuan, how can I charge you such a valuable one?"
As she spoke, she was going to give the phone back to Eric.
Eric resolutely refused, "Aunt Du, you can accept it, this new mobile phone is also convenient to use, it is my heart." If you insist on giving it back to me, I won't take it back, and I'll leave it at home. ”
When Aunt Du saw that he insisted, she didn't push it back, thanked him, and put down her mobile phone.
Eric took out the phone recharge card again and handed it to Aunt Du, "Don't stop the phone for your mobile phone recharge, it's really delaying, I'll pay the Internet fee tomorrow." ”
Aunt Du nodded, accepted the things, and couldn't help but praise: "Eric is really a reliable young man, if any little girl marries him, it will be happy." ”
Eric glanced at Qiao Xihe and said with a smile: "Aunt Du, you have won the prize." ”
"No, no. Aunt Du sighed: "What I said was sincere. ”
Qiao Xihe listened to the conversation between the two, his mood was much better, he ate something, and thanked Eric again, "Erik, I am really grateful to have a friend like you who is willing to accompany me and help me, I don't know how to repay such kindness." ”
Eric was tempted to say, "Marry me to pay it back," but in this way, the purpose of their marriage seems to be more than simple.
He prefers Qiao Xihe to marry him sincerely.
And Aunt Du joked at this time: "Isn't there an old saying called making promises with one's body?"
"Aunt Du......" Qiao Xihe blushed, crying and laughing.
Eric waved his hand and said with a smile: "What age is this, Aunt Du? Besides, we are good friends, and this little favor should also be helped." ”
Qiao Xihe understands that this is not a small favor at all, how difficult Lu Qingping is to deal with, he has learned a thing or two when they met last time, if he wants to dig out the secret from him, it is not easy to talk about it, it can be seen that Eric must have put a lot of effort into it.
"Let me think of a serious way to repay the reward. She said.
Eric was not polite, "I'll see." ”
"Okay. Qiao Xihe took another bite of food and asked, "...... I don't know when I'll be able to pick up my dad?"
"There are still some necessary procedures to go, and when everything is done, I'll accompany you to pick up my uncle, okay?" said Eric, softly.
"Good. Qiao Xihe didn't think about it, he agreed, and then looked around the decoration and furnishings at home, "I want to decorate it again to welcome my father's arrival!"
A huge piece of lime that pressed on Eric's heart disappeared, and he felt a lot lighter all over his body, but fortunately, Qiao Xihe believed his lie and took all the credit for Pei Tingyuan's head, as for what would happen to Pei Tingyuan......
Hehe...... He sneered in his heart, Qiao Xihe's heart would only get closer and closer to him.
He looked at Qiao Xihe, and his eyes no longer concealed his love, because he believed that through this matter, Qiao Xihe would soon belong to him.
