Chapter 77 It's definitely better for you to find me than Wang Jing (Seeking monthly votes)
"Brother Shen, I didn't mean any harm. I just felt that you deserved better..." Luo Zilan tried to make amends.
Shen Jiang stared coldly at her and questioned, "Your so-called 'goodness' means that I should come to you after my divorce?"
Luo Zilan bit her lip and nodded heavily. "I'm unmarried and childless. It's definitely better for you to find me than Wang Jing."
Based on this alone, she is superior to Wang Jing.
These words had been bottled up in Luo Zilan's heart for a long time, and she finally found the opportunity to say them.
Shen Jiang said, "To me, Wang Jing is the best, no one can compare to her, including you. What kind of good person is someone who is determined to destroy other people's families? I'll go talk to Commander Jiang and explain the situation. From now on, no one can just come into the family compound."
Luo Zilan's expression changed drastically. If Jiang Jingjiang found out about this, it would be very difficult for her to come back in the future.
"Brother Shen, do you have to be so heartless to me?"
"There's no affection between us, so how can you call me heartless?"
Luo Zilan was speechless for a moment, pursed her lips, and her eyes filled with tears.
"Brother Shen, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things about your marriage. Please, can you forgive me this time?"
“Dad, don’t be soft-hearted. This kind of person never learns from their mistakes. The way she’s saying this now doesn’t mean she really realizes she was wrong. She just doesn’t want people to know her true colors,” Xu Qingmo said.
Luo Zilan felt even more disgusted with Xu Qingmo.
What kind of supernatural powers does he have? He's clearly just a nuisance.
"Brother Shen, I really realize I was wrong, please give me a chance," Luo Zilan continued to plead.
Normally, if she shed a few tears, most people wouldn't pursue the matter with her.
Luo Zilan was used to this trick and felt that it wouldn't fail her with Shen Jiang either.
Shen Jiang snorted, "You don't even realize your mistake."
Luo Zilan's heart tightened when she met Shen Jiang's stern face. "Brother Shen..."
Shen Jiang said, "If you really realize your mistake, you should apologize to Momo instead of begging me for forgiveness. This matter has hurt Momo a lot. She is my most precious daughter. Your dissatisfaction with her is dissatisfaction with me."
Luo Zilan was speechless. How could she apologize to Xu Qingmo?
No way!
Xu Qingmo spoke up at the right moment, "I'm hungry. Let's go home. Mom is waiting for us to come back for dinner."
When Shen Jiang faced Xu Qingmo, he immediately put aside his serious demeanor.
"Let's go home."
Lu Ting came in from outside, and Jiang Jingjiang followed him into the room.
Shen Jiang bid farewell to Jiang Jingjiang, who invited him to stay for dinner. Shen Jiang noticed that Jiang Jingjiang's hand was perfectly fine and not injured at all.
It seems Zhou Haihong lied.
Lu Ting saw a package in the corner, picked it up out of curiosity, opened it, and the contents fell to the ground.
"Why are there two sets of clothes that have been cut up here? They look so familiar. I think I saw Daya wear them before. That's right... these are Daya's clothes."
Zhou Haihong paused as she stepped inside, instinctively looking over. In Lu Ting's hands were two sets of clothes, one large and one small, which were the clothes stolen from Song Cuiping's house.
Zhou Haihong quickly stepped forward, snatched the clothes from Lu Ting's hands, and looked at Lu Ting warily, questioning, "Did Hong Lanlan bribe you to get these clothes?"
Lu Ting shook his head and denied it, "No, I haven't seen Aunt Lanlan at all today. As for this dress, I saw it at your house."
"Nonsense! How could we have clothes that Song Cuiping lost? Hong Lanlan must have framed me on purpose."
Zhou Haihong was very emotional, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
At this moment, Zhou Haihong was extremely agitated, a stark contrast to her usual gentle and graceful demeanor.
She belatedly realized something was wrong and quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "I just heard that Hong Lanlan and Song Cuiping had a bloody fight over the clothes, and I didn't want to get involved. Besides, I wasn't even in the family compound when Song Cuiping's clothes went missing. I was in town with Zilan at the time, and Zilan can vouch for me."
Seeing her anxious expression, Xu Qingmo couldn't help but remind her, "We haven't even said anything yet, why are you so eager to defend yourself? Are you feeling guilty?"
"I didn't steal anyone's clothes, why would I feel guilty? Xu Qingmo, you're such a troublemaker, don't wrongly accuse innocent people." Zhou Haihong hurriedly distanced herself from the situation.
Her every move was in stark contrast to her usual behavior.
Anyone with a brain could see that she was starting to panic.
Shen Jiang sensed something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "Song Cuiping's family has been in a lot of trouble because of the theft of their clothes. They are preparing to report this to their superiors and seek a solution."
Zhou Haihong sneered, "It's just two pieces of clothing, is it really necessary to bother the higher-ups? I've long seen that Song Cuiping is someone who makes a fuss over nothing."
Xu Qingmo said, "This is their family matter. If they want to report it to higher authorities, that's their business. Why are you being sarcastic here?"
"I just feel that there's no need to bother others with this kind of thing," Zhou Haihong explained.
"Whether it's troublesome or not isn't up to you to decide." Shen Jiang told Lu Ting to take the clothes.
Zhou Haihong stepped forward and blocked Shen Jiang's path. She asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
"The results will be announced after the investigation, and everyone in the family compound will be informed. Some procedures are still in progress, so it's not convenient to say anything at the moment."
"What's the procedure? Song Cuiping hasn't had a chance to report it yet, has she?" Zhou Haihong was very concerned about how things were going and quickly asked.
Jiang Jingjiang, who was standing to the side, asked Zhou Haihong, "How do you know so much inside information?"
“I…I’ve talked about these things with other people in the family compound before, so I know a little about it.” Zhou Haihong gave a dry laugh.
Anyone could see that she was forcing a smile.
Luo Zilan couldn't help but speak up, "Cousin, your smile looks forced. If you don't want to smile, then don't. Anyway, this has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."
Zhou Haihong straightened up, her tone firm, "You're right, this has nothing to do with me, I don't care at all."
"Since you don't care, can you let us go home?" Lu Ting reminded him.
Zhou Haihong did not back down. "Shenjiang, you must be tired after working here for half a day. Why don't you stay and have dinner before going back?"
Shen Jiang refused outright, "No need, my wife is still waiting for us to go back at home."
"It's just a meal. After you finish eating, go home and tell Wang Jing that you ate here. She shouldn't have any objections," Zhou Haihong said, still trying to persuade her to stay.
Lu Ting frowned and asked with dissatisfaction, "Aunt Haihong, are you very hot? Why is your forehead covered in sweat? I don't feel hot at all."
Zhou Haihong wiped the sweat from her forehead haphazardly and denied it, "You're mistaken. I'm not sweating from heat, it's just night sweats from being weak."
