Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193 Why Am I So Unlucky
Luo Qiao returned home, looked after her little nephew, fed him his medicine, and then got a call from an employee at ‘Yiren Jiao’.
After learning about the situation, using her sharp wit, Luo Qiao figured out roughly what happened. Ji Lin really had terrible luck; just a few days ago, it was because of her that Ji Lin suffered and got slapped.
Today’s incident must have also been targeting her; what luck Ji Lin has.
She immediately called Lu Yichen, stating her demands. Such a thing must not be overlooked; it was simply too malicious.
Lu Yichen comforted his wife over the phone for quite some time. After hanging up, he dialed the local police station with a stern face, demanding a thorough investigation, treating it as a case to set an example.
By evening, the situation was clearly investigated. Ji Wei had completely lost all good feelings toward Zhai Yuyuan; he initially thought that since Zhai Yuyuan’s heart wasn’t with him, and he wasn’t planning to lead a good life with her, it was better to let go.
But he hadn’t expected Zhai Yuyuan to resort to such despicable means; this was intolerable, treating his affection for her as nothing, even trying to harm others for her own desires.
Fortunately, Lu Yichen’s wife had left earlier due to other matters and wasn’t implicated. Fortunately, the lady was smart and had called a colleague from her unit in advance. Also fortunate was that he was ruthless enough; otherwise, he didn’t dare to imagine what today’s incident could have escalated into.
He had already called the Ji family, not concealing anything about the Zhai family or Zhai Yuyuan. Today, he also got news from the public security, knowing why the Zhai family was so eager to marry her into the Ji family, and that the bride fleeing on the wedding day was true, too.
He even told them about the couple not consummating their marriage and the incidents that happened after returning to Capital City, recounting everything in detail to his own grandfather.
The Ji family’s patriarch in the south was furiously agitated. He directly called the Zhai family, with full force and no holding back, causing Old Master Zhai to spit blood and be directly hospitalized.
The person from the Zhai family who went to gather information repeated what was learned from the public security. The Zhai family members were all stunned.
Now, the situation is such that Zhai Yuyuan alone has angered the Gu family, Lu family, the Ji family in the south, and the Ji family in Capital City, oh, and the restaurant-owning close relatives.
It’s said that because of this incident, the restaurant was ordered to close for rectification, cooperating with the public security investigation, probably unable to resume business for a while. The loss was huge.
Not only financial losses but also the reputation that was hard earned; whether it could be popular again after reopening was really hard to say.
After all, it was their restaurant’s food that led to the incident, so this time not only do they have to bear the hospital expenses, but they also have to compensate a large sum of money.
Most importantly, all the victims were influential, and this incident would cause severe damage, if not fatal.
After Ji Lin reached the hospital, it was not only embarrassing but also painful. After coming out, she cried bitterly; the Ji family also issued a stern warning that this was not over.
Good news does not go beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide. Old Master Gu learned that the granddaughter of the Zhai family targeted his granddaughter-in-law, and also about the previous misdeeds of the Zhai granddaughter, feeling it was all his fault, not knowing just accompanying her on a trip would lead to such trouble.
He decided right then in his heart that his relationship with the Zhai family was over.

Zhai Hongtao, the father, and Zhai Yufeng, the big brother, spent an entire afternoon pleading for Zhai Yuyuan, but to no avail.
Moreover, they learned that the incident had blown up so big that the families of the victims disagreed on a settlement and demanded imprisonment.
Late at night, each member of the Zhai family looked grim. After a period of silence, Zhai Yufeng said, “Tomorrow, we’ll visit the Ji family in Capital City. If they can give the Zhai family some face, there might still be hope for Yuyuan. If they insist on not letting go, our family might not have much of a future.”
Second Wife’s Daughter-in-law Li Yuduan, hearing this, was infuriated: “Tomorrow, you all must find a way to make the Ji family relent, else our entire Zhai family will suffer because of Yuyuan.”
Zhai Hongtao and his wife, Jiao Haifang, felt burning shame upon hearing their brother’s wife’s words.
Zhai Yufeng glanced at his Aunt sitting aside, then at several of his cousins: “Aunt, it’s too late to talk about this now. Let’s figure out how to save Yuyuan. The current situation is if Yuyuan is done for, our Zhai family is too.”

When Luo Qiao arrived at the hospital, Ji Lin burst into tears and laughter upon seeing her: “Qiaoqiao, why am I so unlucky.”
Luo Qiao quickly embraced her: “I’m really sorry to have let you suffer. Fortunately, you were alert and called someone to pick you up. I truly didn’t expect Zhai Yuyuan, at such a young age, to be so malicious.
You might have been involved in our affairs again today. Rest assured, I will definitely not let her off.”
