Chapter Nine: The Fate of the Xu Family, and He Mingzhou's Sister?
Ji Yubai snapped out of his shock and looked at Xu Changshan with a puzzled expression: "Uncle Xu, what is this? Didn't you come here today to take me out?"
Xu Changshan glared at Ji Yubai through gritted teeth. If it weren't for the prison guards watching him intently, he would have spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Ji Yubai's face.
That son of a bitch Ji Yubai has emptied the Xu family's coffers, and he still dares to try to get him to take people out?
This guy wouldn't be satisfied unless he was shot!
Xu Changshan tried hard to suppress his anger, but he still couldn't quite control his temper.
"I only told you about that apartment besides my family of three. Now everything in the apartment is gone. I don't believe you even if you beat me to death if you say you don't know anything about it. Ji Yubai, if you still want to get out, don't try anything funny! Tell me where you hid the things right now!"
"What?! All those things are gone?!"
Ji Yubai was struck dumb, and before he could even see clearly, he fainted.
The prison guard rushed up and grabbed Xu Changshan's arm: "What did you do to Ji Yubai?"
Xu Changshan was so frightened he almost cried: "I...I didn't do anything! He just suddenly fainted..."
The prison guards didn't listen to Xu Changshan's side of the story: "We now suspect you of murder to cover up the crime, please cooperate with our work."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshan's vision went black, and he fainted from a surge of anger and anxiety.
With Xu Changshan gone, the only person left who could stand up for the Xu family was gone.
Xu Qingyu initially believed that her father could come to her rescue, so she stubbornly refused to tell the truth.
But as time went by, she was driven crazy by her time in prison, especially when she learned that Li Xiuhui had been thrown out of the hospital because she couldn't afford her medical bills. She completely broke down.
He confessed the whole family's plan.
Xu Changshan finally woke up, but it was too late.
It was a done deal that Xu's father was transferring family property to engage in feudal, capitalist, and revisionist activities.
The Xu family of three, along with Ji Yubai, were all dragged into this mess.
By the time the news reached Xinli's ears, it was already a week after she arrived on the island.
"Xinli, here is your letter."
Xin Li has been staying at He Mingzhou's house for the past few days.
Although they are already a married couple.
But apart from showing up on his wedding day, He Mingzhou packed his bags and went out to sea with the others that very night.
Xin Li was very curious about this matter and originally wanted to follow along, but she hadn't gotten to know He Mingzhou yet, so she didn't dare to make a request rashly.
She has been living alone in this empty house ever since.
Fortunately, she had thoroughly familiarized herself with the island's terrain this week and decorated He Mingzhou's house according to her own preferences. The furniture was put to good use, and since He Mingzhou was not home these past few days, she didn't even have to worry about the space being discovered.
Who sent it?
Xin Li was a little puzzled. Not many people should know that she had come to the island, so who would send her a letter?
"Sent from Shanghai."
The messenger handed the letter to Xinli and then turned and left.
Xinli took the letter back to her room and opened it to find that it was sent to her by the Shanghai office.
In the letter, the recipient thanked her again for her generosity in donating the old house and said that they would definitely send her a medal when it was awarded in the future.
Later, the topic of Xu Changshan's family came up again.
They probably felt that she had been bullied badly by Xu Changshan's family, so now that they saw Xu Changshan was in trouble, they quickly told her the news so that she could feel relieved too.
"Xu Changshan was sent to the countryside for labor reform, Li Xiuhui was seriously ill and didn't have much time left to live, Ji Yubai and Xu Qingyu were sent to the Northwest..."
Xin Li smiled and said, "It's true that the wicked will always be punished by the wicked. This outcome is too good for them."
If this were in the apocalypse, her methods would be far more cruel.
However, since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. Now that Xu Changshan and his group had been dealt with, she would treat the matter as if it were over.
From now on, I'll just close the door and live my own quiet life.
Thinking of the supplies in the space, Xin Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The joy of Tuntun Mouse!
As it approached mealtime, Xinli hesitated between cooking for herself and going to her sister-in-law's house next door for a meal. Before she could make a decision, she heard a knock on the door.
Could it be that her sister-in-law came to call her for dinner?
Xinli walked over lightly, opened the door, and found a girl with delicate features, dark skin, and dressed in a flamboyant manner standing outside, with an unfriendly expression.
"Who are you? Why are you at Brother Mingzhou's house?"
Xin Li looked at the girl in front of her with a calm and composed expression.
They are good-looking, especially their skin tone, which has a very vibrant color.
However, the hostility in her eyes was so strong that it made Xinli very uncomfortable.
"And who are you? What business is it of yours that I live here?"
Xin Li is beautiful. Although her fair skin and beautiful face, along with her eyes that always seem to hold autumn water, soften her aggressiveness as a lord of the apocalypse, at this moment, when she slightly raises her chin, her aura is suddenly unleashed, and the girl at the door is a little overwhelmed.
"You...you stayed at my brother Mingzhou's house, and you still say it has nothing to do with me?"
Xin Li raised an eyebrow.
I recall that in the original novel, He Mingzhou did indeed have a girl named Xu Haiyu by his side.
If she remembered correctly, this girl should be the younger sister of He Mingzhou's comrade-in-arms. He Mingzhou's comrade-in-arms sacrificed himself to save him, so He Mingzhou took Xu Haiyu with him and addressed them as brother and sister to outsiders.
He truly treated Xu Haiyu like a younger sister.
But it's clear that Xu Haiyu doesn't just see He Mingzhou as an older brother.
Look at her so self-righteous! Anyone who didn't know better would think the wife was here to catch the mistress.
“I know this is He Mingzhou’s home.”
A playful glint flashed in Xin Li's eyes. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door, a smile curving her lips: "That's why I'm staying here."
She is the wife He Mingzhou married. If she doesn't stay in He Mingzhou's house, why would she stay in another man's house?
"you!"
Xu Haiyu was furious, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She actually knew the woman in front of her.
She never expected that she would only follow others off the island to buy things, and upon returning to the island, she would learn that He Mingzhou, who had taken care of her since childhood, had already gotten married.
Didn't the previous message say that He Mingzhou's wife disliked him, so the engagement was changed?
Why did they still get married?
When Xu Haiyu received the news, she thought she finally had a chance, so she wanted to take advantage of this shopping trip to buy herself some things that would highlight her femininity, and to tell He Mingzhou that she had grown up and was no longer just his sister.
Who would have thought that the position I had been waiting for for so long would be taken by someone else?
She had assumed that since Xinli was new to the island, she wouldn't be familiar with the people there.
So she thought she'd come over and annoy her first, and give her a taste of her own medicine!
I never expected Xin Li to be so shameless as to dare to talk back to her.
