Su Mu's face flushed red, then turned purple, then black, carrying with it the embarrassment and discomfort of being exposed.
I don't understand why Zhou Chunhua always sees through my little schemes.
Unable to hide her embarrassment, she simply changed the subject.
"But that money doesn't belong to you. It's all money that Anan worked hard to earn. Why should he give it all to you?"
"On what grounds? On his infidelity! On his unfaithfulness in the marriage! On the grounds that he is at fault!"
"you……"
"What? If I haven't explained it clearly enough, then wait until the court hearing and let someone else tell you." Zhou Chunhua waved her phone.
Liao Nanxing and Su Mu's faces darkened simultaneously.
She smiled, put her phone away, and turned to leave.
"Zhou Chunhua!"
This time, it was Liao Nanxing who stopped her.
"What? Professor Liao has agreed to leave with nothing?"
"Dream on! I won't give you a single penny!"
Zhou Chunhua frowned, then relaxed, and frankly said, "I know. So from the very beginning, I've been striving for what I deserve!"
Seeing Liao Nanxing's pupils widen in shock, she grabbed Zhu Lina and walked out without looking back.
Before we even reached the door, it opened, and three uncles in hats stood outside.
"Who called the police?"
Zhou Chunhua turned to look at Zhu Lina.
Juliana shook her head.
"Me." Su Mu rushed over with disheveled hair, her dress on backwards.
I must have heard Uncle Hat's voice just now, which is why I hurriedly put it on.
Before Uncle Hat even came in, Su Mu started crying again, saying that she and Liao Nanxing had been beaten, and she even asked Uncle Hat to see the injuries on Liao Nanxing's face.
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, Zhou Chunhua interrupted, "Why don't you explain the relationship between the three of us first?"
Uncle Hat nodded repeatedly.
"What's going on? What's your relationship with me?"
Su Mu glanced at Liao Nanxing with a fleeting look in his eyes.
Liao Nanxing remained silent.
Zhou Chunhua handed over the marriage certificate directly and then briefly explained the matter.
Of course, she said what should be said and didn't mention a single word about what shouldn't be said.
Before she could finish speaking, Su Mu interrupted, "Regardless of the relationship, you hit someone and injured them!"
“What do you mean by ‘injured’? These injuries were all caused by accidental cuts from the rings on my hands during the scuffle.” Zhou Chunhua waved her hand.
"You...who would wear so many rings?"
"Me?"
“Me too. We all wear them like this all the time.” Juliana walked over, waving her hand.
Su Mu glared at them, his face turning red and then white.
Uncle Hat was fair; he just sent them back to the station to give statements.
Su Mu, wearing Liao Nanxing's coat, walked outside, saying he was going to sue them.
Zhou Chunhua turned a deaf ear.
Just as they got out of Uncle Hat's car, Gu Yao got out of a car parked not far away.
Before she and Juliana even sat down, Gu Yao bailed them out.
When they came out of the police station, Su Mu was pointing at them and shouting and jumping around inside, while Liao Nanxing next to him had his head hanging down in a dejected manner.
As soon as they stepped outside, Juliana asked, "Was this also arranged by Lawyer Gu?"
Gu Yao smiled and glanced at his watch.
“It’s 1 o’clock, and it’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll take you back.”
So they rode in Gu Yao's car home.
Throughout the journey, Gu Yao did not answer any of the questions Julia asked.
However, judging from the upturned corners of Gu Yaoyang's mouth, he seemed to be in a better mood than she was.
Zhou Chunhua sent the screen recordings from her and Zhu Lina's phones to Gu Yao's WeChat.
...
Back home, Zhou Chunhua took off the ring, intending to clean it.
Suddenly, Juliana handed her a red booklet.
When Zhou Chunhua saw the words "Real Estate Ownership Certificate" on the red booklet, she couldn't help but frown.
"What are you standing there for? Open it and take a look!" Juliana then led her to the living room.
On the sofa, there was an open file folder, with what looked like invoices scattered around it.
Juliana shoved the property ownership certificate into her hand and then grabbed the document bag as well.
Zhou Chunhua slowly opened the door, and when she saw her own name, she was completely stunned.
“I was just about to give this to you when that jerk called you.” Juliana looked around: “Do you remember what you said when you were little?”
You said you've grown up and want your own home, a home that truly belongs to you. It should have big floor-to-ceiling windows, a small dining table, and you should cook two small, hot dishes every day to reward yourself after a hard day's work.
There also needs to be a bathroom, not too big, just big enough to fit a bathtub. When I'm tired, I can fill the tub with water, lie down in it, and all my worries will disappear.
Then, we need two bedrooms, one for you and one for me. They don't need to be big, just big enough for a single bed. I chose this apartment based on what you suggested. Do you like it?
"Nana...are you stupid?" She threw herself at Nana, sobbing uncontrollably.
How could she not remember? It was a promise between the two of them!
But... after falling in love with Liao Nanxing, she unknowingly forgot the promise.
Nana not only remembered, but she didn't even blame her.
"Huahua! You've got snot all over my neck!"
"Your tears feel so cold! Can you please stop crying?"
“Zhou Chunhua! You’re in your forties, can’t you be a little more mature…”
"..."
That night, they sat in front of the French windows and talked for a very long time.
...
At this moment, Liao Nanxing and Su Mu walked out of the police station.
A night breeze blew by, and the two, dressed in thin clothes, shivered in a disheveled state.
Su Mu sneezed, and tears streamed down her face.
Exhausted both physically and mentally, Liao Nanxing didn't even have the energy to comfort her.
"Anan, are you blaming me?" Su Mu said, feeling wronged. "I just wanted to stand up for you!"
Liao Nanxing turned around, looking annoyed.
"Can you think things through before you act in the future?"
"I……"
"What? You're clearly not as smart as her, yet you insist on arguing with her about everything. Aren't you just asking for trouble?!"
“Anan, I…”
Liao Nanxing ignored all explanations and interrupted, "I'm begging you! Don't provoke her again, don't go looking for trouble! I'm really tired! So tired!"
Fortunately, ride-hailing services are readily available; otherwise, at this hour, they would probably have to stand there until dawn to hail a ride.
Since Xu Xiuzhen was still in the hospital, they returned to the hotel where they had just checked in.
Upon arriving at the front desk, Su Mu immediately questioned the cashier: "How could you disclose the information of a guest who checked in? I'll sue you!"
"Enough!" Liao Nanxing slammed his phone on the front desk, the sound echoing in the lobby for a long time.
"Su Mu, do you think you haven't embarrassed yourself enough?"
Su Mu was terrified.
Having been with Liao Nanxing for seven years, this was the first time I had ever seen her lose her temper like this.
She bit her lip, not daring to utter a sound.
They watched helplessly as Liao Nanxing booked an extra room, specifically choosing one on a different floor from the previous one.
