I was exceptionally calm. "Is there any evidence?"
Zhou Zhizi said, "I heard you and Mom arguing in the stairwell. When I came back, I heard Mom fell down the stairs. If it wasn't you who did it, who else could it be?"
"You heard me and Mom arguing? When did it happen? How long ago?"
Zhou Zhizi's face froze, and then she shook her head. "I can't remember clearly. It was so chaotic at the time. All I could think about was leaving there..."
"You can't even tell me the exact time, so how can you be sure I've already come downstairs? Your brother and I talked for quite a while in the ward."
I looked at Zhou Chenyan.
Ironically, at this time he became my witness.
"She did stay in the ward for about 20 minutes."
Zhou Chenyan spoke.
Zhou Zhizi frowned and thought for a moment, "I really can't remember clearly. I just remember that I ran out in a daze, and then wandered around outside for a long time before coming back..."
She is very smart.
I immediately rationalized these twenty minutes.
Zhou Zhizi walked up to me and took my hand. "Sister Yanyan, tell me the truth. Did you have an argument with Mom?"
"Didn't you say you heard everything?"
"I just heard my mother scolding you, but I don't know why, because I walked away afterwards."
There was a sudden pain in my wrist.
She grabbed me hard, and the pain made me reflexively push her away.
Zhou Zhizi fell directly to the ground, "Sister Yanyan, why did you push me?"
Zhou Chenyan helped her up. Zhou Zhizi's hands were scratched on the ground and blood was oozing from the palms of her hands.
Zhou Chenyan glared at me coldly, "Mu Yan, what are you doing? Are you angry and embarrassed after being exposed?"
"You believe her nonsense."
I couldn't help but sneer.
Zhou Chenyan usually has a high IQ, but every time he encounters something related to Zhou Zhizi, he becomes extremely stupid.
Zhou Chenyan stared at me.
I don't know what he plans to do to me, but I can't back down. If I back down at this time, he will definitely think I'm guilty.
He said coldly, "Go home."
"Why?"
If I leave at this critical moment, wouldn't it be proof that I murdered my mother-in-law?
I stiffened my neck, being extremely stubborn. "She said I was harming my mother-in-law, so she has to produce evidence. Otherwise, it's slander."
Zhou Zhizi sobbed in grievance, "I just wanted to ask clearly, Sister Yanyan, why did you push me?"
She looked at Zhou Chenyan pitifully.
"Ayan, it hurts so much..."
Zhou Chenyan gave her a soothing look, and finally looked at me with a cold and sharp look, "Go home immediately and stop making trouble here."
"I'm messing around?"
I tried to hold back, but I couldn't control my anger.
"Zhou Chenyan, are you blind?"
Who on earth is stirring up trouble here and making false accusations? Why is he acting like he can't see it?
Although she had long been accustomed to his favoritism towards Zhou Zhizi, she still felt a chill in her heart at this moment.
There is no fairness for him.
Zhou Chenyan grabbed my wrist and told me to walk to the elevator door without saying anything. "We'll talk about this after Mother wakes up. Now go back first."
He then went to press the elevator button.
I struggled and pushed him away. "Why should I listen to you? I didn't harm my mother-in-law. I don't need to be locked up at home by you."
"It's not up to you."
At that moment, I felt a little desperate, as if I had returned to my previous life.
He forced me back home.
He stood at the door, blocking my way.
"You stay in your room and don't go anywhere until mother wakes up."
"Why? I'm not a criminal!"
I gritted my teeth.
He looked at me with eyes as cold as ice.
"Whether you are or not, at least you are the most suspicious person now."
"You still don't believe me." I felt a chill in my heart and gritted my teeth, "Why should I push my mother-in-law? She's always on my side, speaking for me. Do I really need to do something so thankless?"
Zhou Chenyan slowly straightened his wrinkled cuffs and glanced at me. "I want to know the reason, too."
I was a little upset, "I told you, I didn't have any arguments with my mother-in-law!"
"Mu Yan."
Zhou Chenyan suddenly called my name.
I was stunned for a moment.
His voice was calm and indifferent. "I've decided. You'll stay here until Mother wakes up. If you're truly innocent, what's there to be afraid of?"
His tall frame leaned against the doorway, blocking my only way to the outside world.
"I asked you to stay here for your own good. Otherwise, if Gardenia calls the police, what do you think will happen to you?"
"Should I say thank you then?"
"No need." Zhou Chenyan's expression was gloomy. "If you really want to apologize to me, just stay here obediently."
After saying that, he turned and left, closing the door.
I heard the sound of the door being locked.
I didn't go over and knock on the door. I sat down on the edge of the bed exhausted, and my cell phone suddenly rang.
The name on the screen made me feel like I was in another world.
This is……
"Yan Yan, I'm back home. Let's go out for dinner together!"
Zhuang Qiling.
My high school classmate and best sister.
When I heard this voice, I felt as if I was in another world. The last time I met her in my previous life was also here. I was imprisoned at that time.
Zhuang Qiling finally sneaked in to see me and wanted to take me with her, but I knew that if she took me with her, she would never be able to get rid of Zhou Chenyan.
I just asked her to go and see my brother.
