Liu Yujie suffered a heart attack and suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
"He's from the Inspectorate..."
"So where exactly did you send him to cause such a huge mess?!"
Liu Yujie's biggest fear was that what happened back then would be exposed, causing her to lose her current identity and status, and return to her poor family home in Shuangdong Hutong to spend the rest of her life. Without thinking twice, she told the whole story.
After hearing this, Sun Yanxia wanted nothing more than to strangle Liu Yujie.
"Are you out of your mind? Why are you causing trouble for Chang Xingwang? You and Chang Xingwang are both married now, you had no relationship back then, but your family was the only one who wanted to get a share of the Chang family's house and wanted to put you in Chang Xingwang's bed!"
"You didn't even tell me beforehand, haha, you know I could never agree to this!"
"Even after becoming a rich wife, she's still not behaving properly. Do you even know what Chang Xingwang is like...?"
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Sun Yanxia stopped herself.
In Chang Guofu's description, his second brother-in-law was a person of importance, not the skilled worker as rumored.
This was her little secret with Chang Guofu, known only to heaven and earth, and could never be told to a third party. It was precisely for this reason that she never doubted Chang Guofu's love for her.
Liu Yujie caught the loophole in her words: "What do you mean by that? Chang Xingwang got promoted?"
Sun Yanxia avoided the topic: "What's the use of mentioning him? No matter what, he doesn't have that much power. You should quickly think of who you've offended recently, and who's causing trouble for you?"
If this condition is met, Liu Yujie can only think of the Song family.
Because of Song Qingshi's transfer order, the Song family was quite dissatisfied with her, perhaps looking for an opportunity to reprimand her.
Liu Yujie breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it can only be someone from the Song family. If that's the case, don't worry. I'll figure out a way to get them out after I finish what I need to do!"
Only after receiving her assurance did Sun Yanxia calm down and instead offered compensation while crossing her arms.
"We can't let you get caught up in this mess and have to stay in there for another day or two, judging from what you're saying. As for compensation... you can decide what to give!"
Liu Yujie gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed: "I'll have some income by tomorrow at the latest, then you can come and ask me for money!"
Tomorrow? That's like robbing a bank so soon!
Sun Yanxia was skeptical of her confident tone. "Just wait and see," she thought. "If Liu Yujie can't deliver tomorrow, then she'll be in for a beating!"
After finishing their business, Liu Yujie saw Sun Yanxia out. As they walked downstairs, she heard the sound of things being smashed coming from the small study.
She quickly stepped forward and called to the housekeeper, "Something fell in the study. Go and clean it up for the young master."
Madam Song lifted her eyelids and sneered, "You two have such similar hobbies lately. One minute you're smashing things upstairs, and the next you're throwing things around in the study!"
Liu Yujie blushed with embarrassment after being criticized by her mother-in-law, and made an excuse to take Sun Yanxia out.
After seeing Sun Yanxia off, Song Qingyun turned around and came out of the house wearing only a thin shirt.
"Qingyun, where are you going so late? Put on some clothes..."
"roll!"
Song Qingyun got into the car, started the engine, and drove away from home.
Liu Yujie stood there dumbfounded, stunned. Qingyun had never treated her so badly before.
She returned home in a daze, only to find Mrs. Song standing in the living room, furious.
"Great! I had such a useless son. He smashed my perfectly good study to pieces!"
Liu Yujie glanced at the small study, which was now completely unrecognizable.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
A new day dawned, but for others, good news arrived.
Xianglan took Chang Meiying to the nursery class and bought today's morning paper at the newsstand. A group of familiar faces came into view on the paper.
After reading the article, Xianglan was extremely excited. She clutched the newspaper and ran all the way home.
"Sister Zhou! Good news!"
At this moment, Zhou Hongyu was still immersed in a sweet dream when the Chang family elders came over.
"Xianglan, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa Chang, Grandma Chang, look at this article! The inspector who made things difficult for us at the hospital yesterday has been arrested!"
Granny Chang couldn't read, so Old Man Chang quickly snatched the newspaper and started reading it aloud. After finishing, he looked up to the sky and shouted, "Heaven has eyes!"
Granny Chang put her hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha repeatedly.
Zhou Hongyu couldn't sleep because of the noise in the yard, so she got dressed and came out yawning.
She picked up the newspaper, glanced at it, and couldn't help but yawn: "Xianglan, you're in luck!"
Judging from this, Xianglan doesn't need to rush to leave. For some reason, Xianglan didn't tell the Chang family elders about her plan to leave.
The newspaper article only described the inspectorate's abuse of power and favoritism, listing all their crimes, without mentioning the other group of people involved.
The inspectors who went to the hospital that day were clearly identified by a large, unblurred group photo.
These people's futures are over.
Zhou Hongyu threw the newspaper back, glanced at the time, and decided not to go back to sleep.
While brushing her teeth, Zhou Hongyu told Xianglan, "If you have time today, go to the shop and see if you can help."
The shop has been doing incredibly well these past few days. Chen Zhaodi set off before dawn, too busy to even eat, drink, or use the restroom, while Zhou Hongyu also has work to handle at the cultural center.
Zhou Yao was also unable to go to work because her cousin's family was hosting relatives from Northeast China.
Xianglan nodded: "Sister Zhou, I'm free. I'll come over after I finish my housework!"
After returning from the hospital, Grandma Chang no longer liked being waited on. She suddenly felt that she had no place in the family, that she was of little use, and that she was a useless person who ate for nothing.
Originally, she planned to leave the Chang family because of that person from the Inspectorate, but now the plan has changed, and she may stay again. So she has to find her value in this family again.
