Chapter 427 Please provide proof

Gao Lili hesitated for a long time, saying only that she and Mai Dong had their wedding in the spring of five years ago, and that their child was born in the winter, so she should be almost five years old. Her name was Xiaomai.

Qi Xu smiled and continued to ask her.

"Wheat should be a nickname, right? What's the baby's full name? Where will he go to school? I'll ask the army to issue a certificate. Orphans of martyrs can apply for free schooling."

Qi Xu's question, which was neither hurried nor slow, but gave off a huge sense of pressure, made Gao Lili break out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't tell her daughter's name, birthday, or school, so she could only make up stories and continue to make excuses to exonerate herself.

"In fact, my daughter is not raised under my name."

"Because Mai Dong is the only son in the family. After I gave birth to the baby, I took the child to join him in the army. Unexpectedly, I was weak and in poor health after giving birth, and I also suffered from depression."

"So, Mai Dong asked me to return home to recuperate for a while. Unexpectedly, less than six months later, he died. Later, I went to his former unit to inquire, and the leader there said that the child had been adopted. I can't disclose the specific whereabouts of the child."

"So, I haven't seen my baby for several years. Please help me find the whereabouts of my daughter."

As Gao Lili was talking, she wanted to cry again, but Qi Xu did not give her a chance to perform and interrupted her directly.

"Sure, we'll help you find it. Could you please provide a photo of the baby?"

"It doesn't matter if it's from birth, a full moon, or a first birthday."

Gao Lili opened her mouth wide and glared at Qi Xu fiercely, forgetting even to cry.

She would never have thought that this seemingly gentle and soft girl could be so cunning and difficult to deal with.

Photos? She hasn't even seen her daughter in all these years, so where did the photos come from?

Besides, she had never intended to have the child in the first place. Her mother had said that if she kept the child in her belly, she would definitely be able to blackmail the stupid soldier again later. So, she kept the child.

Who would have thought that when the due date was approaching, Mai Dong's already sick mother actually died of anger.

So, they were too embarrassed to threaten the child to ask Mai Dong for money. They were also worried that bringing a burden with them would hinder their search for a new employer. So, they abandoned the child under a locust tree outside the military compound.

Spring in the borderlands was unusually cold. It was drizzling that day, and the wind was biting. She left the child in the wind and rain, and walked away without looking back.

The child was crying heartbreakingly, but she didn't even look back.

Without waiting for Gao Lili to react, Qi Xu deliberately raised his voice and spoke.

"What's wrong? Ms. Gao, is this difficult? Which mother doesn't have a bunch of baby photos stored on her phone?"

"Even if there aren't any now, there must be some before. Can't you find any?"

"Or, you've never had a daughter at all?"

Gao Lili explained anxiously, "Although I don't have any photos, I did give birth to a daughter. Please believe me."

Qi Xu clearly wanted to overthrow her, but he did the opposite and said it with a smile.

"Ms. Gao, of course I believe you. What mother wouldn't love her daughter?"

"Don't worry, take your time. As long as you can find a photo or the child's birth certificate, it will be fine."

"It's really not possible. At least you can provide a photo of you and your husband."

"The public's eyes are sharp. As long as you have proof, we will definitely be willing to help you."

Qi Xu's apparent intention was to be very considerate and reasonable, but in reality he was putting Gao Lili in a difficult position.

If she can't produce a photo, a group photo, or a birth certificate, then she is a liar, a big liar.

Even if she was Jia Jia's biological mother, no one would believe her anymore.

After a while, Gao Lili's face turned red and tears were streaming down the floor, but she still couldn't produce any strong evidence.

She bit her lip, pretending to be forced to surrender, and expressed it aggrievedly.

"I didn't bring all my documents today. I'll come back to see you after I get them home."

"Mom, let's go!"

It's not that easy to leave. Qi Xu gave them a look, and several soldiers rushed over to block their way.

"Ms. Gao, you keep claiming to be a martyr's widow, accusing the army of embezzling your husband's pension. You're here to collect the debt, and you're asking for 50 million right away."

"But you can't produce your marriage certificate or your child's birth certificate. There's not even a photo of your husband or your child on your phone. So, what kind of martyr's widow are you? How can you have the nerve to call yourself a military wife?"

"Do you know that spreading rumors and causing trouble in the military region, defaming the reputation of martyrs, and sullying the reputation of the troops are serious violations of the law?"

"Moreover, you openly extorted money from the military and falsely claimed pensions for military families, which is a criminal offense."

"Please stay and cooperate with the military court's investigation."

Qi Xu's words were well-reasoned, but Gao Lili had nothing to offer from beginning to end.

At this point, everyone agreed that she was a big liar.

"Bah, this shameless rotten lotus, I saw her crying so hard that I really believed her lies and almost got cheated!"

"Oh my god, how can there be such a despicable and shameless woman in the world? It's so disgusting!"

"With her green tea and scheming bitch appearance, she still has the nerve to call herself a military wife. How shameless!"

…

When the direction of public opinion completely reversed, Gu Yan stood out from the crowd, holding a stack of photos in his hand and threw them in Gao Lili's face.

"Ms. Gao, you keep claiming you're a martyr's widow, a soldier's family member. You say you deeply love your husband and have remained a widow for him for five years. So, what are your more than 30 boyfriends over the past five years?"

"What's your record of checking into hotels with the opposite sex over 800 times?"

Intimate photos were scattered all over the floor. Although the key parts and face were mosaiced, the woman in the photo was so pretentious that she knew it was Gao Lili.

The onlookers couldn't help but get angry. They took vegetable leaves and eggs and threw them at Gao Lili and her daughter.

"Little bitch, stinky whore, scumbag, liar..."

The crowd cursed more harshly than the last, wishing they could strip the shameless mother and daughter naked and throw them into the sewer to fill the cesspool.

It's really too bad.

Seeing her plan to get rich fail, Gao Lili's image as a loyal military wife also collapsed. She no longer cared about her image, put her hands on her hips, and cursed at Qi Xu.

"You little bitch, you're so cunning. You keep saying you're going to help me and give me a pension, but in reality you're worse than anyone else, setting traps for me everywhere!"

"Just wait, I'm going to sue the military. I know you must be hiding my daughter now."

"Once I get a certificate from the county hospital in my hometown, I will definitely get custody of my daughter back. I am her biological mother, and no one is more qualified to raise her than me."
