The morning sun shone brightly. I carried Chenchen and Lawyer Zhang and went to the large flat where Qiao Shiyao lived.
They used the same tactics as last night, and I also brought reporters with me when I came.
This place is located in a prosperous area in the city center. It was estimated to cost more than 5 million yuan to buy it. Based on his salary as a teacher, he could not afford it at all.
A few years ago, Qiao's father and mother wanted to support Qiao Zhixian to study abroad. Their combined salary was not enough for her expenses abroad, so they borrowed a lot of money. Later, the creditors came to their door and they were forced to sell the house where they had lived for many years.
Later, after Qiao Zhixian and Ji Linting got their marriage certificate, Ji Linting bought a house as a betrothal gift to the two elders.
As for Qiao Shiyao's current large flat, it was bought for his brother-in-law with Ji Linting's money after he moved into the manor.
It has to be said that Ji Linting treats Qiao Zhixian much better than he treats me, his ex-wife who paid for his doctorate studies.
When I married him, not only did I not ask for any dowry, I didn't even have a decent ring or a simple wedding. But later he used my money to spend on other women. It was so shameless.
The property management of the residential complex where Qiao Shiyao lives does not allow us to enter.
We didn't panic and asked the people we found to hold up banners and loudspeakers to start promoting.
"Qiao XX, from Unit X, Building X, is a teacher who encouraged his younger sister to become a mistress, using his wife's money to buy a house for him. His teaching ethics are corrupt and he's unworthy of being a teacher..."
This community is very close to the aristocratic school where Qiao Shiyao teaches. Many of his students' parents are either rich or noble, and they also live here.
So after I played Qiao Shiyao's glorious deeds over and over again, many parents who knew him or girls who had a crush on him came up to speak up for him.
"What are you talking about? If you spread rumors about Teacher Qiao again, we'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"I heard that Teacher Qiao's sister studied dance and won awards abroad. How could she be a mistress?"
More and more people gathered around and started to accuse me.
I looked at Qiao Shiyao running towards the crowd in panic not far away, and knew that the fun was about to begin.
Qiao Shiyao pushed through the crowd and saw me in the middle of the crowd with thick foundation on my face. His expression froze for a moment.
But the next second after seeing the banner at the entrance to the community, he yelled, "Qiao Chuyuan, are you done yet? Are you going to be obsessed with the term 'mistress' for the rest of your life?"
"I'm not like you who doesn't have to go to work every day. How can I make money without working? If you're so idle and making such a fuss, believe it or not, I'll slap you to death!"
He cursed so hard that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was distorted.
I opened my mouth but before I could say anything, I saw a long leg kick out. Qiao Shiyao screamed "Ah" and knelt in front of me holding one leg.
"If you can't speak, just kneel down and speak!"
Zhou Bingchen lazily retracted his foot that had just kicked Qiao Shiyao's calf, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
I turned around and stared blankly at Zhou Bingchen beside me, recalling an incident in northern Myanmar.
There was a rumor on the base that the guard who was the serial killer on the run was the one who openly called me a bed-climbing bitch behind my back in front of everyone.
Zhou Bingchen happened to pass by at that time, and he kicked him on the leg in such a domineering and arrogant manner, forcing him to kneel down and apologize to me.
The man who protected me in my memory gradually overlapped with the man with murderous eyes in front of me.
In the past, I just thought he was violent, but now that he's standing by me and protecting me, I just think he's so handsome!
Seeing that Zhou Bingchen had an ascetic and comic-book face but his kicks were so ruthless, the onlookers subconsciously shut up and took a step back.
I didn't want everyone to think that we were the unreasonable ones, so I re-examined the relationship between Qiao Zhixian, Ji Linting and I.
Less than two years after I disappeared, Ji Linting cancelled my identity.
I just went to apply for a new ID card and restored my previous household registration at the same time. I was able to easily obtain the household registration information of Ji Linting's family, and by the way, I also retrieved the previous marriage records of Ji Linting and I.
I distributed various printed materials to the onlookers, my voice choked with sobs, and accused Ji Linting of cheating on me during our marriage, and that the illegitimate daughter he had was about the same age as my child.
Ji Nannan's date of birth in the materials I distributed confirms this.
Everyone in the crowd had a copy of the documents that Ji Linting used to cancel my identity and inherit my estate exactly two years after I disappeared.
While everyone was still stunned and speculating whether this man was deliberately plotting to inherit my inheritance, I pointed angrily at Qiao Shiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said bitterly, "This Teacher Qiao you're talking about is the brother of my husband's mistress. The mistress used my money to buy a house for her brother. You can go to the sales office and ask. The transfer records were still from my husband's bank. What do you think? Should I get this house back?"
The onlookers, holding the materials, now understood the whole story and were filled with indignation.
Especially those married women are particularly angry.
What is even more devastating than your husband cheating on you is that he uses the couple’s common property to support his mistress’s family.
What's more, all these properties are mine. Anyone would be furious.
Those who had just spoken up for Qiao Shiyao now all turned their guns on him. "Teacher Qiao, your sister is shameless, how can you be so shameless too? How can you have the nerve to take the original wife's money?"
Seeing that his normally friendly neighbors were now standing around and accusing him of something, Qiao Shiyao forced himself to stand up, despite the pain in his legs, and frantically explained to the crowd, "My sister isn't a mistress. They have a marriage certificate and are protected. What gives you the right to scold her?"
Then, he gnashed his teeth and roared at me, "And Qiao Chuyuan, go ask a lawyer. Even if you come back now and have your status restored, what's the use? Lin Ting has remarried, and your and his marriage status can't be restored. If you want to make a scene now, then you're the unreasonable mistress!"
"So, they are husband and wife. What's wrong with Zhiqian spending their joint property to buy things for her parents? Can you find a clause to take my house back?"
I folded my arms and listened to him patiently.
I didn’t expect that Qiao Shiyao was quite knowledgeable about the law. He is indeed a teacher and he prepares his lessons very well.
But I still laughed out loud at his smug look, as if he thought he had me under his thumb.
"You're right, Qiao Shiyao."
I lowered my arms and slowly approached him, smiling freely and brightly in front of him.
I felt the thick foundation on my face cracking because of my smile, and the powder was falling off in gray.
Last night, Lawyer Zhang told me that it would take several months to recover the property through the first prosecution method.
But there is another way to get my property quickly.
That is to overturn Ji Linting's conditions for canceling my identity, restore my marital relationship with him, and then agree to a divorce so that I can immediately get back the property that belongs to me.
I curled my lips into a smile and leaned closer to Qiao Shiyao, wanting to show off in front of him. "But you forgot, if he lied about the date I went missing, it would mean that the conditions for canceling my identity are not met. And if my identity cancellation is not met, how can Ji Linting marry your good sister, and how can he inherit my estate?"
"You...what do you mean?"
Qiao Shiyao widened his eyes and took a step back, obviously shocked by my assumption.
If this assumption is true, it will be a disaster for his sister and brother-in-law!
