Zhou Sui forced a smile, but it wasn't a genuine smile. "It's not exactly troublesome, but it certainly caused a bit of chaos."

"Since Director Liu is here, please remember to visit the Public Security Office and give us some pointers when you have time later."

"I'll go back and make some tea for you!"

Hearing the noise outside, Xie Liyun, who was in the ward, came out of the room.

"Dad, Mom, Auntie, you've come!"

Zhou Sui glanced at Xie Liyun, then nodded to Liu Xiaomei, "Director Liu, please go ahead with your work. I'll be waiting for you at the Public Security Bureau."

Xie Liyun looked at Captain Zhou and his group, then at the person covered by the police uniform, her pupils contracted, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

Liu Xiaomei forced a professional smile, nodded to Zhou Sui, and then walked past Xie Liyun into the ward without any expression.

"You stay at the door and I need to speak with Shi Guang alone."

Xie Liyun nodded respectfully, watched Liu Xiaomei go inside, and then very tactfully closed the door behind her.

Then he turned to look at Huang Baohua and Xie Dapeng, "Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you still here?"

"Oh dear, I heard you say that your in-laws are coming over in the next couple of days, right?"

"We didn't take good care of our son-in-law, and we're afraid she'll blame us, so we thought we'd meet with her to apologize before we leave!"

Xie Liyun said impatiently, "I already said it's not necessary, it's not necessary. What are you all doing here causing trouble?"

Huang Baohua felt uncomfortable when she heard her daughter's tone.

She lowered her head, patted her new coat, and said coldly, "Liyun, this is what happens when you're being unreasonable. Look at your attitude now! Do you think we, as your parents, are ashamed to face others? Do you think we're going to embarrass you?"

"If your brother's job hadn't been delayed for so long, would we be so shamelessly trying to curry favor with him?"

"In the end, it's all because you're useless!"

"If I had known you were so useless, unable to even seduce a man, I would have preferred to have your aunt take your sister to the city!"

Xie Liyun could no longer suppress her frustration and anger.

"Then let Liping go. Do you think I'm willing to put up with this humiliation?"

"All you ever think about is your younger brother, have you ever thought about me?"

Do you know what kind of life I'm living?

"Do you really think these city rich kids are so easy to fool? If they were really good, would I, Xie Liyun, even have a chance?"

"You really think your daughter is some kind of fairy from heaven, that she can't live without you..."

Xie Liyun's pent-up anger and grievances finally erupted.

But she also had to consider Liu Xiaomei and her son inside the room, so she deliberately lowered her voice. Her pent-up emotions made her delicate and gentle face contort into a ferocious expression.

Huang Baohua and Xie Dapeng finally shushed each other when they saw their daughter's bloodshot eyes.

"Liyun? What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Let me tell you, I need to reconsider this marriage. And don't put all your hopes for Xie Junhong's job on me."

Although Xie Liyun is currently only a temporary worker in the publicity department, she can become a permanent employee in less than two years if she works hard.

She really didn't need to throw her whole life away like that.

"Liyun, aren't you and Shiguang doing quite well now? Besides, your in-laws think highly of you, and she's also your boss."

When Huang Baohua heard her daughter say she wanted to reconsider her relationship with her future son-in-law, she immediately became anxious.

"Shi Guang is also a handsome man, much better than that country bumpkin!"

Xie Liyun felt extremely aggrieved. Why did everyone think that she was marrying above her station with Shi Guang?

They only saw the glamorous surface of the stone, completely unaware of the filth within.

Xie Liyun is a very quick-witted person. Once, when Shi Guang was in trouble, the mother and son were entangled with someone. She happened to be there and cleverly helped Liu Xiaomei out of the predicament. She also caught her eye through this incident.

It just so happened that during that time, her colleagues in the department were ostracizing her, a girl from the countryside. So, when Director Liu extended an olive branch to her, she accepted it without hesitation.

She knew in her heart that Liu Xiaomei valued her cleverness and hoped that she could help her keep an eye on Shi Guang.

But she also knew in her heart that if Shi Guang continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later. Rather than being implicated by Liu Xiaomei, she would rather seize the opportunity to extricate herself now.

Moreover, she had a vague feeling that this matter would not be so easily resolved.

In the past, no victims came forward to complain, and with Liu Xiaomei's coercion and enticement, the matter was often quelled before it even began.

Shi Guang brought this upon himself, causing such a huge commotion.

And if she wasn't mistaken, the person who was covered up by the police officer's clothes was probably the victim of this incident.

The woman stepped forward.

If this matter really comes to light, even Shi Zhichuan and Liu Xiaomei might not be able to ensure Shi Guang's safety.

Not to mention Shi Zhichuan, she knew of at least two mortal enemies of Liu Xiaomei.

If this matter can no longer be kept secret, it will easily be used by others to suppress Liu Xiaomei and her husband.

Moreover, Shi Zhichuan already had considerable resentment towards Shi Guang because of his way of doing things.

After all, they have their own biological children too.

Thinking of her parents' stubborn nature, Xie Liyun gritted her teeth and said.

"Instead of relying on me, you should make more trips to your aunt's house."

“Liyun, you can’t do this. You didn’t say that before.”

"It's clearly just a matter of a word from our in-laws, why are we going to such lengths instead of seeking help from someone closer to us..."

Xie Liyun, unable to bear it any longer, growled, "Mom!!"

"Shi Guang has been a scoundrel, and it's not the first time."

"Did you see that police officer just now? The person being protected by the police officer is the victim!"

"So, you still want me to jump into this fire pit?"

Huang Baohua was taken aback. "Liyun, did you and Shi Guang have a fight?"

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Comrade Shi Guang is clearly not that kind of person; he's very upright."

Xie Liyun stared fiercely at Huang Baohua. Was this really her biological mother?

Looking at that face that resembled his own three-tenths.

She knew it was her biological mother; she closed her eyes helplessly.

Huang Baohua felt a little guilty under the glare, but she still didn't want to give up.

"Liyun, even if Shiguang really made a small mistake, it must have been because that shameless little hussy outside seduced him!"

"It must be that slut outside behaving improperly. Men, especially hot-blooded young men, can't resist the advances of those bitches..."

Huang Baohua wanted to say something to Xie Liyun, but Liu Xiaomei had already come out, her little leather shoes clicking on the floor.

She had no choice but to swallow the foul language that was uttered.

He muttered to himself, "Who is that shameless person who did such a thing and still dares to show off like that?"

If she finds out who it is, she'll definitely expose that shameless woman...
