Chapter 16: Bad Dad and Stepmother
"What do you mean?" Cao Jing looked at the judge in confusion. "Who wants to go to the Northwest?"
"Look, it's clearly written in black and white." The presiding judge waved the document in his hand, the bright red official seal glaring under the light. "You have volunteered to go to the countryside in the northwest. You will leave in two days."
"No, this is impossible!" Cao Jing felt dizzy and her vision went black. Her carefully maintained nails dug deep into her palms. "I didn't sign up... There's no way I could sign up!"
Cao Jing felt like a black pot had fallen from the sky and landed on her...
She never signed up to go to the countryside. Who is behind this?
Cao Jing turned to Liu Hongyang with a pale face, her voice trembling and untuned: "Hongyang, what on earth is going on?"
She clearly remembered that it was originally agreed that the bitch Chen Zhaoyue would go to the countryside alone!
How come it became her and Qingqing now?
"..." Liu Hongyang was stunned for two seconds, as if he had figured something out. Suddenly, he jumped up, swung his arm and slapped Cao Jing in the face: "Bitch! Is this you who did this?"
The slap came suddenly and with enough force that Cao Jing's face immediately swelled up.
"?" Cao Jing was stunned for a moment, until she felt pain on her face, then she realized, "You...you hit me?"
She covered her face with her hands, her carefully maintained features were distorted beyond recognition, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Are you afraid that I'll be found out, so you left yourself a way out?"
Liu Hongyang's eyes were bloodshot, and his crooked neck made his expression even more ferocious. "Haha, going to the countryside is better than being sent down, right? You traitorous bitch!"
The two women in the family must have done it on purpose. If something happens, they can still keep themselves out of trouble.
Okay, that’s great!
On the surface, Cao Jing seemed to listen to him in everything, but in fact, she was very scheming and had left a way out for herself and her daughter. If she was not found out, she could go to Hong Kong with them and continue to live a good life.
But if they were caught, they would be sent to the cowshed, so she registered for herself and her daughter to go to the countryside in advance. This was better than being sent down!
"You..." Cao Jing was so angry that she was shaking all over because of the pain on her face. "Are you crazy? I don't know anything about this!"
Faced with Liu Hongyang's resentful eyes, Cao Jing completely collapsed.
She screamed and pounced like a mad female animal.
But because she was handcuffed and only one pair of hands could move, she kept grabbing Liu Hongyang's face.
"I think you've gone crazy, you bitch!" Liu Hongyang's roar echoed in the interrogation room, and he spitted all over Cao Jing's face: "I'll beat you to death, you traitorous bitch!"
The two people, immersed in anger, suddenly started fighting with each other.
Cao Jing's carefully maintained nails left blood marks on Liu Hongyang's face, and Liu Hongyang used his handcuffed hands to tightly strangle Cao Jing's neck.
Liu Qingqing curled up in the corner, watching her parents fighting, and was so scared that she even forgot to cry.
Are these still her parents who support each other?
They are clearly two enemies!
Suddenly, for some reason, Chen Zhaoyue's face appeared in her mind.
When she was caught and taken out of the Chen residence, Chen Zhaoyue looked at the meaningful smile on her face.
I didn't feel it at the time, but now I just feel a chill running up my spine from the soles of my feet.
"She did it... It must be that little bitch Chen Zhaoyue! It must be her!" Liu Qingqing suddenly screamed, her voice sharp and piercing.
Hearing this name, Liu Hongyang became even more furious: "What can she do?"
As he spoke, he pushed Cao Jing away and turned to Liu Qingqing, angrily saying, "You still want to throw dirty water on her now? Do you really think I don't know the dirty things you've done behind my back all these years?"
"Liu Hongyang! I think you've lost your mind!" Cao Jing, hair disheveled, pounced on him, leaving a few more bloody marks on his face with her nails. "You'd rather believe that little bitch than us? We didn't even give us this name!"
"Who else could it be if not you?" Liu Hongyang's eyes were bloodshot, his crooked neck twisted even more violently in anger. "Your names are written in black and white on the paper!"
Liu Hongyang now believed that signing up to go to the countryside was a way out given by Cao Jing, and he refused to listen to their explanation at all.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Liu Qingqing cried out, "We didn't sign up for this, I don't want to go to the Northwest!"
However, neither of them had time to pay attention to her at the moment.
Snap——
Liu Hongyang slapped Cao Jing in the face again. "Isn't this the escape route you left behind for me? You want to leave me alone and run away, right?"
"Wait..." He felt something was wrong the more he spoke, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "Could it be that you and your daughter secretly moved all my things away?"
Once this thought arose, it took root in his heart like a poisonous snake.
Given Cao Jing's cowardly personality, how could he possibly sign up to go to the countryside?
There's clearly something fishy going on!
"Liu Hongyang, you idiot!" Cao Jing was so angry that she was shaking all over. She looked at Liu Hongyang with only deep hatred in her eyes: "You are slandering me!"
"You ungrateful bastard!" Liu Hongyang spat, his saliva splashing on Cao Jing's face. "Why did I marry a disaster like you?"
In the corner of the interrogation room, several people wearing red armbands watched the farce coldly.
Their original intention was to let this family fight each other so that they could find clues about the transfer of property.
But unexpectedly, after arguing for a long time, the couple did not dig out any useful information except cursing each other.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the red-armband leader finally stepped forward impatiently to pull them apart and shouted: "What are you doing? Trying to change the subject, right?"
"No, no... I'll tell you the truth!" Liu Hongyang, who was dragged away, suddenly became a different person, tilting his neck and leaning forward eagerly: "Can you, can you please not send me down?"
After what happened just now, he had completely figured it out. Since he couldn't get the money, he couldn't let Cao Jing get it for free!
"Oh?" The leader with the red armband raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "That depends on your performance. Tell me, where is the money hidden?"
"It's them!" Liu Hongyang pointed at Cao Jing without hesitation, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement: "It was them, mother and daughter, who did it!"
His voice was hoarse but remarkably firm: "These two bitches transferred the property without my knowledge, just to prepare for going to the countryside!"
"Bullshit!" Cao Jing screamed, "I haven't even left the house!"
She anxiously turned to the interrogator and said, "Comrade, please understand clearly that he was the one who transferred the money. It has nothing to do with us! This heartless man, in order to protect himself, even framed his wife and children!"
Liu Qingqing curled up in the cold corner of the interrogation room, her slender fingers tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.
She watched her parents tearing at each other like two mad dogs and blaming each other, and suddenly she felt that the two hideous-looking people in front of her were terrifyingly unfamiliar.
But at this moment, no one cared about her shivering in the corner, and just let her cry loudly beside them, as if no one heard her.
Shen Zhaoyue, who had just finished being questioned, happened to pass by the interrogation room when he was leaving.
I could hear the fierce quarrel, slapping sounds, and Liu Qingqing's heart-wrenching cry.
She stopped and listened with interest for a moment, then a subtle arc appeared at the corner of her lips, and a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.
"The grudges with the original owner are settled, and it's time to start my new life."
Chen Zhaoyue walked out of the cabinet committee door with brisk steps. The sunlight shone on her pretty face, reflecting a bright smile.
After a while, the man appeared at the train station.
There was a long queue at the ticket office and the noise was deafening.
Chen Zhaoyue stood in the queue, waiting patiently. It took a while before it was finally her turn.
"Comrade, where are you going?" the ticket seller asked without raising his head.
