Her eyes were red. "That's not the case. Can you believe me?" She carefully held Lu Lu Qingyi's arm. "You know Xuan Xuan. Xuan Xuan wouldn't bully other children."
"Someone must have disliked Xuanxuan and framed her for this." Huo Yuxuan cried aggrievedly, "Mommy, it was Xuanxuan who was bullied in the orphanage."
"That person must have known my identity and was afraid that we would investigate, so he sent the message first..."
Huo Yuxuan looked at Lu Qingyi, paying attention to her every reaction to see if she believed what she said.
In the past, Mommy would believe her as long as she said so.
But at this moment, there was a hint of doubt in Mommy's eyes.
This made Huo Yuxuan feel scared and hateful. The image of a good girl that she had displayed for so many years was ruined overnight.
"Mommy doesn't believe Xuanxuan..."
"Xuanxuan." Lu Qingyi looked at her daughter, "What's going on between you and Gu Xiuyuan?"
Huo Yuxuan was stunned. She didn't expect her to mention him.
"Mommy?"
Huo Yuxuan was a little at a loss, not knowing why she was like this, and even less knowing how much she knew.
"Gu Xiuyuan, do you have a girlfriend?" Lu Qingyi looked at her. "And she's pregnant, right?"
Huo Yuxuan was stunned.
I originally thought that once I got engaged, everything would be fine and Xia Mei would handle everything afterwards. However, now Xia Mei has become an arson suspect and is facing prosecution by the procuratorate.
"Are you really..." Lu Qingyi felt heartbroken and couldn't bear to say anything that would interfere with other people's feelings.
"Mommy, it's not like that." Huo Yuxuan grabbed her hand and said, "I didn't know that when I met him!"
She shook her head in panic and then burst into tears.
“By the time I discovered that girl, I had already… fallen in love with her.
"Chairman Xia said that the girl next to him was their adopted daughter, and that she was behaving very improperly and was pregnant with someone else's child, yet she kept pestering Xiuyuan."
"During this business trip, he risked his life to save me, so I listened to Chairman Xia and got engaged while he was still asleep.
"I didn't introduce them. I was really deceived!" she shed tears.
Huo Yuxuan cried pitifully and in a few words pushed the blame onto Xia Mei.
She didn't know how much they knew about Ji Shuyu's affairs, so she naturally didn't dare to throw dirty water on Ji Shuyu easily.
Lu Qingyi couldn't bear to see her daughter sad, so when she heard that her daughter was "cheated", she subconsciously chose to believe it, or perhaps she was more willing to believe it.
My daughter was too well protected, so she was bewitched. She didn't like Chairman Xia at first sight.
She compromised because her daughter liked it.
"Is that girl from the same orphanage as you?"
Huo Yuxuan was terribly shocked. She had originally intended for her mommy to distance herself from Ji Shuyu, but she hadn't expected things to develop like this, attracting even more attention.
"It seems so, but I don't remember it clearly. I just heard that she was in the same orphanage as me." She wiped away her tears.
"Has she ever bullied you?"
Huo Yuxuan bit her lip and shook her head, "Too much, Mommy, Xuanxuan can't remember."
She shuddered as she spoke: "It's really too much. Everyone bullies me..."
Lu Qingyi felt heartbroken when she heard this and immediately hugged her daughter in her arms.
"Don't be afraid." She comforted him, "I'll let your father handle the rumors outside, and the matter with the Gu family ends here."
"Mommy?" Huo Yuxuan looked up in shock.
"It's fine if you didn't know before, but now that you know, why don't you stop?"
Huo Yuxuan choked.
"But Mommy, I love him."
"Does he love you?"
Lu Qingyi was a little surprised by her daughter's attitude.
At this point, she still keeps talking about her feelings?
What kind of child has she raised over the years?
"He loves me," Huo Yuxuan insisted. "Otherwise, why would he risk his life to save me?"
"Mommy, he likes me. I can feel it."
"But he has a girlfriend!" This was the first time Lu Qingyi spoke so loudly to her daughter.
Huo Yuxuan was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
So, is she protecting Ji Shuyu?
Because she likes and is close to him, she ignores his feelings.
Or, because Ji Shuyu is her daughter, she unconsciously wants to help her?
"I don't!"
She jumped up.
The sudden burst of sexual desire startled Lu Qingyi.
Huo Yuxuan also realized her own obsession with sex, and for a moment she didn't know how to redeem herself. She could only pretend to be overwhelmed, wipe away her tears, and run away...
…
Xizi Bay.
Ji Shuyu unconsciously began to pay attention to the news on the Internet, recalling many unpleasant memories from her childhood.
Because of a series of "bullying" incidents, even A's orphanage began to receive attention.
Ji Shuyu looked at the comments. Many netizens talked about their own or their friends' experiences. Some people also revealed that the orphanage used the children's blood to make some "bargain" with the adoptive parents.
"Young Madam, why are you staring at the computer again?" Auntie came over.
"Just taking a look." Ji Shuyu smiled and was about to put down the computer when a current affairs news popped up in the news window.
This is the latest development in the arson case, among which the words "hiring a killer but not killing the person" are particularly eye-catching.
The investigation into the case has been completed, and the procuratorate will soon file charges. The progress is really much faster than expected.
Detention Center
Xia Mei looked haggard, the bruises at the corners of her eyes had not gone away, and a new wound had appeared on her forehead.
The lawyer came here with news from outside, saying that Miss Huo was caught up in a bullying and abuse scandal, and that Gu Bin was about to come back.
"He hasn't arrived yet, but you haven't stopped using these tactics yet!" Xia Mei's voice was hoarse, and her eyes no longer had the same luster as before.
Food allergies, conflicts between prisoners, which one is not his means of dealing with them?
Last week at work, she had a conflict with someone and was hit on the head, but she was locked up in a small dark room for three days.
The physical harm doesn't count, the worst thing... is the mental torture.
He would call her and tell her the dirty things he did with other women over the phone.
She was so angry that she wanted to break his bones, but she was locked up here and could do nothing but roar...
"What is Gu Xiuyuan doing?"
Xia Mei's eyes were red with hatred. Could he not have thought of her situation here? !
"There's been a lot of turmoil in the board of directors recently, and President Gu is currently handling the company's affairs." The lawyer said truthfully.
"Where is that little bitch!" Xia Mei gritted her teeth.
"Young Madam is doing well."
Xia Mei gritted her teeth. She had fallen into this situation, but she was fine?!
The lawyer looked at her and said, "Mrs. Gu, this case of yours will be difficult to handle. I hope you will be mentally prepared."
Xia Mei listened, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips...
…
Gu Xiuyuan finished his social engagements and it was already very late.
He hurriedly changed his clothes and went home. As soon as he got downstairs, he received a call: "Huo Yuxuan committed suicide..."
