Gossip King - Chapter 1078
Chapter 1078 Zhao Zhiqi, Butler, Gao Manor
Gaoleng took the two to the car. When their emotions finally calmed down, they found out that Zhao Zhiqi was a high school teacher at a scene in the south. His wife was also working in the school, but she was not educating people, but a librarian. The two of them got married and gave birth to a child at first sight. Although their days were poor, they were happy. Her daughter Zhao Yan was also very ambitious. First, she was admitted to X University, a key university in China, and then she was sent to graduate school because of her excellent university results.
Like many happy families, their happiness came from Jian Dan and was pure, but the moment Zhao Yan accidentally met Xuehou, all their happiness disappeared.
“We are just an only child. After Swallow came to the Imperial Capital, we didn’t want to go back to our hometown. When we went there, we saw the children who grew up with Swallow. They were very sad.” Zhao Zhiqi sighed deeply.
According to incomplete statistics, there are 10 to 20 million families without a single child in China. Back then, only one child was born in response to the call, and when this child died unexpectedly, both parents in the family were annihilated.
Unspeakable pain, unspeakable sadness. Old people who have lost their families often choose to stay away from their original circles of life. Most of them seek Buddhist scripture and prayer for psychological comfort. Some do not live much because they miss their children too much. The Zhao Clan was even more miserable: they could not calm their hearts by praying for scripture and chanting Buddhism, nor could they end it all in one go because they could not withstand the blow. Their daughter was tortured and killed, causing a sensation throughout the country, but they still could not find the murderer to die in peace.
The two of them stepped into the imperial capital, a city that was so big that it was unfamiliar to them. They sold their houses and used all their savings for one thing: to find the murderer.
How could the murderer be so easy to find?
The police searched for a few months without finding any clues to the assassin Xuehou, how could the two old men find him? If he couldn’t find it, he had to find it. Otherwise, if he thought of his daughter’s unhappy death day and night, the head hanging on the clothes rack would shatter his heart with a single glance.
His entire soul was shattered.
“You live here?” Gaoleng was a little shocked when he sent it over to the address. It was a mess, and they hacked into a shack to live there.
“Yes.” Zhao Zhi nodded his head. His identity as a teacher always required some face. He hurriedly said, “Although sparrow is small, it has all its organs and is very clean. When we first came to the Imperial Capital, we were too anxious to find the murderer and met many liars. We lost all our money.”
A few canvas shacks stood in the shack, but in front of the shack, Zhao Zhiqi had actually written a board in calligraphy: Yan Guiju.
“Yan Guiju.” Gaoleng followed the two of them to the unfinished building. Under the dim street lights, these three calligraphy characters were obviously very strong. After looking around, he came up with an idea, so he smiled and said, “Are you two still going back to your hometown?”
“I won’t return.” Zhao Zhiqi decisively shook his head and looked at his wife. The two of them looked at each other with tears rolling down their eyes. “Let’s go to Swallow’s cemetery again. We won’t be returning home anymore. We’ll just wait for Xuehou to be sentenced. We’ll have nothing to do with our lives, and we’ll have no hope for it anymore,” Zhao Zhiqi said.
“Then can you do me a favor?” “I think you can help me now,” asked Gaoleng.
“What are you busy with?” When the two of them heard that Gaoleng needed help, and that it was something they could help, they were excited. It was hard to repay their kindness, so they were naturally willing.
“I have a girlfriend, a cousin, and by the way, a female colleague. They live together. I don’t usually have time to take care of them. I’m short of a cook at home, and I’m short of someone to help me sort out the information.” Gaoleng looked at Zhao Zhiqi and then looked at his Old Zhao wife. “I see, Teacher Zhao, you can help me sort out the information every day. Auntie Zhao, you can help those girls cook or something.”
The two of them looked at each other and their eyes turned red again.
They knew in their hearts that Gaoleng was changing the way he helped them. Scholars always paid attention to their face. Gaoleng’s help saved their face, but it made them feel a little embarrassed.
Not only did he help them catch the murderer, he also…
“Are you unwilling?” Gaoleng naturally saw their embarrassment and deliberately said, “I don’t give much money and I have a lot of things to do. I don’t feel at ease when I ask others. I often work until midnight when I’m hungry.”
Hearing that Gaoleng didn’t give much money, the two old men heaved a sigh of relief. When they heard that he was hungry all day, their hearts ached. Zhao Zhiqi hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, we don’t want money, we don’t want money.”
As he spoke, he actually had the urge to cry again. In this strange city, facing the two people who had lost all hope after Xuehou’s death, Gaoleng handed over a life-saving straw. Otherwise, how would he live in his old age?
“Alright then, let’s pack up and leave.” Gaoleng looked inside. There was nothing inside. There were some clothes or something.
“Now?” Zhao Zhiqi was a little surprised. He looked inside and said, “A lot of clothes need to be tidied up…”
“Just take your important documents. I’ll buy the clothes again.” Gaoleng walked to his car and said, “By the way, Teacher Zhao, can you drive?”
The Old Zhao family quickly took some important documents and whispered after Zhao Zhi got up, “Let’s go first. I’ll pack the clothes later. How can we ask him to buy clothes? Let’s go today. Otherwise, the child will be hungry again tonight.”
“I won’t.” Zhao Zhiqi said.
“Then I have to learn.” Gaoleng stopped and opened the door. “Come on, Teacher Zhao, your first task is to learn how to drive. Auntie Zhao, you have to work tonight. There are dishes at home. I want to eat boiled beef tonight.”
Gaoleng wasn’t hungry at all, but arranging work like this would make the two old men feel much more at ease and naturally.
“By the way, we have to move in these few days. It will be enough for the two of you to do your work.” Gaoleng drove his car and looked at the time. The house that Xing Sheng had given him had already been arranged. This place had always been rented, so it was time to move.
It was a three-bedroom, two-hall apartment. Xiaoleng and Xiaowei lived in it. JianXiaoDan’s room was a small apartment. Gaoleng had already paid for it, and it was next door. The layout was similar to the current house.
After getting bigger in the future, he still had to buy a villa. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t be enough to live in. Gaoleng thought to himself, the speed of the car had increased a little.
What Zhao Zhiqi didn’t know was that he and his wife would follow Gaoleng for the next few decades until his death. They would watch Gaoleng’s invincible path and experience the coldness and warmth of the mortal world together with Gaoleng.
He would be the head butler of the Gao Manor, the most dedicated and selfless head butler of the Gao Manor.
At this moment, the phone rang. He took it over and heard a gentle female voice.
