Meanwhile, Meng Zihan, who was being held in the detention center, was also suffering immensely.

She had never suffered such injustice before. Every day she could only stay in a small room, eat unpalatable food, and face the cold stares and ridicule of other detainees.

But she didn't think she had done anything wrong; she only hated Ye Linchen for being so cruel.

She was perfectly fine, but Meng Zihan was the one who was hurt, the one who couldn't take the college entrance exam, and the one who had to stay in the hospital for two days. Why should Ye Linchen sue her?

The police were confused; they actually locked themselves up!

My aunt was even more cold-blooded and ruthless, taking all the blame upon herself while she herself escaped unscathed.

Meng Zihan cried until her face was swollen, feeling that the world was too unfair and everyone was helping Ye Linchen bully her.

She didn't want to stay in the police station at all; she desperately wanted to go home and return to her previous life.

Finally, she waited for Meng Xueyun, who came to see her.

Meng Zihan suppressed her resentment towards Meng Xueyun and looked at her expectantly.

"Aunt, is Uncle willing to issue a letter of understanding?"

Seeing that her face and eyes were swollen and her hair was disheveled, Meng Xueyun felt heartbroken. She was no longer the little princess she used to be.

She shook her head sadly, "Your uncle..."

"He refuses?"

"Tell him! Beg him!"

Meng Xueyun looked at her through teary eyes and shook her head desperately.

"Your uncle is determined this time and won't agree. There's nothing I can do about it!"

Meng Zihan burst into tears, blaming Meng Xueyun as she cried.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't only thought of yourself and betrayed me, I wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"

"If I get detained, I'll have a criminal record. What will I do then?"

Meng Zihan firmly believes that if Meng Xueyun hadn't implicated her and had taken the blame herself, the Ye family would have definitely issued a letter of forgiveness, and nothing would have happened.

Her miserable situation was caused by Meng Xueyun.

So all that talk about blood ties and family ties, and her beloved aunt, is fake. When it really matters, she only cares about herself!

Meng Xueyun was also aggrieved. She cried and said, "Xiaohan, I didn't want to either, but the police asked me, and I couldn't lie, could I? Now that ungrateful wretch has been admitted to university and found a rich man. Your uncle is only trying to please her and doesn't care about our lives at all. I can't do anything about it."

At this moment, Meng Zihan couldn't care less about hating Ye Linchen and immediately found a solution.

“Aunt, go and ask your cousin to talk to Uncle. He will definitely agree.”

Meng Xueyun, however, was unwilling to go.

If Ye Linchen hadn't reported it to the police, would my family have ended up like this?

Will she go to the police station?

She hated Ye Linchen so much, how could she possibly bow down to her?

She simply couldn't do it.

"Xiaohan, that brat is heartless and just wants our family to suffer. We definitely can't agree to that. Going to her is pointless!"

Meng Zihan persisted, holding onto her tightly.

"If it were Xiao Nan or Xiao Bei, you still wouldn't go? You would have gone long ago!"

"Just because I'm not your biological daughter, you're going to abandon me?"

"But I'm in this state now, and it's all your fault. You can't be so selfish and just watch me get detained without doing anything!"

Meng Xueyun got angry at what she said.

"Xiaohan, you can't speak against your conscience."

"Did I tell you to put the poison in the fish soup?"

"It's all your own fault that things have come to this point. You should learn a lesson from this and know what you should and shouldn't do!"

Seeing that he couldn't control Meng Xueyun, Meng Zihan immediately dropped his fierce expression and started to act pitiful.

She clung to Meng Xueyun's arm, tears streaming down her face.

"Auntie, only you can help me now. I don't want to be detained, I beg you!"

Meng Xueyun sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but tell me, I've gone to her so many times, and when have I ever gotten anything out of her? That brat will never listen to me!"

That's certainly true.

Every time they provoke Ye Linchen, they end up being the ones who suffer.

Moreover, Meng Xueyun's visit seemed to serve no purpose other than making Ye Linchen even more smug.

Ye Linchen had finally gotten a chance to strike back at her, so how could she possibly give up so easily?

Meng Zihan's eyes lit up, and she came up with another idea.

"Auntie, why don't you recant your testimony? Just say you were the one who poisoned me, and that everything you said before was nonsense. Please help me, I'm so scared!"

Meng Xueyun looked at Meng Zihan in disbelief, as if she were seeing her for the first time.

"You...you actually want me to take the blame? Meng Zihan, how could you do this to me? How could you say such a thing!"

"I've spoiled you for nothing!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

On her way home, Meng Xueyun thought of Meng Zihan, a little girl, all alone in the police station, and felt sorry for her again.

The anger and disillusionment I felt towards Meng Zihan gradually faded away.

Xiaohan had never experienced anything like this before, so it's understandable that she made this request in her anxiety.

Don't even mention her, wasn't I terrified when I was at the police station?

Meng Xueyun hesitated and began to consider whether what Meng Zihan had said to her was feasible.

When he returned home, he saw Ye Zhenghua reading a newspaper.

Unable to make up her mind, Meng Xueyun wanted to seek Ye Zhenghua's opinion.

She walked up to Ye Zhenghua, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Old Ye, you know Xiaohan has been spoiled since she was little, we've raised her with our hands, she's never suffered like this before, can you think of a way to help her!"

Ye Zhenghua raised his head, his brows furrowed tightly.

"She deserves to suffer! It's her own fault for bringing this upon herself!"

Meng Xueyun sighed: "But she's still just a child! Should I go and talk to Xiao Chen on her behalf?"

Ye Zhenghua looked at her coldly: "She sent you, didn't she? You didn't agree? So she made you take the blame for her?"

Meng Xueyun stared in astonishment, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

How did you know?

After all, he raised Meng Zihan himself, and Ye Zhenghua knew Meng Zihan's little tricks very well. How could he not guess them?

Ye Zhenghua snorted coldly and warned her, "Meng Xueyun, listen to me clearly. If you dare to recant your testimony and take the blame for her, don't come home. We'll go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, and you can take her and get out of here!"

Meng Xueyun trembled in fright and quickly waved her hands: "I...I was just telling you, how could I dare!"

She moved out this time, hoping to threaten Ye Zhenghua with divorce, but Ye Zhenghua didn't buy it at all. He and his two sons lived happily at home, while she was outside living in fear, afraid that the house would suddenly have a new mistress.

After causing such a huge disaster, she became even more afraid and dared not cause trouble again.

She saw it clearly.

The man who used to listen to her every word, cherish her like a treasure, and go to great lengths to make her smile is gone forever.

Ye Zhenghua's expression softened when he saw that she had agreed.

Ye Zhenghua handed the newspaper to Meng Xueyun, pointed to one of the good news items, and said with a beaming smile, "Look at this! Xiao Chen is in the newspaper!"
