Chapter 5 Gradually becoming numb
Huo Zheng's ears turned red. What was this guy thinking?
Shouldn't you be worried about your own safety in this situation?
He hurriedly helped her up, rubbing his fingers uncomfortably, a secret expectation rising within him about what she was about to say.
"This is a police station, not a market. If you keep causing trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."
The captain came out and shouted, and Meng Mancang and his wife immediately fell silent.
“Officer, don’t laugh at me, but my daughter has been restless since she was a child. It was one thing to seduce other men in the past, but now she’s even going after her own brother-in-law. She must be framing Xiaoling.”
Hearing Meng Mancang's words, Lu Mingyue laughed in anger. She felt sorry for the original owner of this body and for the original owner's mother. How could they have been so blind as to be with such a person?
"Did Tian Xiaoju tell you this? Didn't she tell you that her own daughter drugged me and Huo Zheng, trying to create some trouble? And you're my own father?"
"You really can't tell east from west, north from south. Calling you stupid like a pig is an insult to the reputation of pigs!"
Lu Mingyue was usually silent, so her sudden outburst left Meng Mancang stunned.
My face felt like it had been slapped several times; it was burning hot.
When the police officer heard Meng Mancang's words, his eyes were filled with condemnation. How could a father frame his own daughter like that?
They're not stupid. They've interviewed the neighbors and they all say that Lu Mingyue is like a rabbit, afraid of people. How could she be the kind of person who seduces others, as he claims?
Huo Zheng frowned at Meng Mancang, "I have no relationship with Meng Xiaoling at all. We've only met twice. It's not appropriate for you to link me to her like this, is it?"
His eyes were devoid of warmth, and his tone was completely flat.
But when Meng Mancang heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Huo Zheng was introduced by the factory director, who said that he was young and promising, of marriageable age, and wanted to find a suitable woman to settle down with.
The Meng family has two daughters, and they arranged to meet and see each other.
Since Hu Sanbao has taken a liking to the youngest girl, the only one he can tell Huo Zheng is Meng Xiaoling.
Meng Xiaoling was brought over by his wife when she was only eight years old. Meng Mancang raised Lu Mingyue, and the two were considered a second-marriage couple.
The following year, they had their second son, Meng Jun. Meng Mancang immediately straightened his back and found Meng Xiaoling much more pleasing to the eye. When registering their son's birth, he also changed her surname.
Otherwise, why would I introduce such a good guy to her?
He knew that Huo Zheng had two children, but in his opinion, it was nothing.
The important thing is that Huo Zheng comes from a well-off family. Xiaoling won't have to worry about food and clothing after marrying into the family, and Meng Jun can also lend a hand if he needs anything in the future. What a great thing!
The thought of his two daughters marrying rich men has made Meng Mancang beam with joy these past few days.
Who would have thought the accident would happen so quickly?
One second he was bragging to people that his two daughters had found good husbands, the next second his wife came over and said that his stepdaughter had been reported and arrested by his biological daughter.
Faced with the spectators' stares, Meng Mancang was both anxious and angry, wishing he could beat Lu Mingyue up.
Why not just enjoy a peaceful life instead of causing trouble?
"Comrade Huo, you and my daughter are currently looking for a husband, aren't you nominally brother-in-law?"
Tian Xiaoju felt indignant on behalf of her husband.
Huo Zheng snorted coldly, "It stopped the moment Meng Xiaoling committed the crime."
Tian Xiaoju was about to say something when she was interrupted by the police.
"We can talk about this later. You two, come and give your statements first."
Meng Mancang and Tian Xiaoju exchanged a glance, then shrank back and went inside.
"Let's go back."
Lu Mingyue didn't intend to wait for them, and Huo Zheng didn't ask any further questions. The two left one after the other.
"Are you sure you'll be okay going home later?"
Huo Zheng was worried that she would be stopped and asked all sorts of questions by the aunties in the family compound.
Lu Mingyue patted her chest and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Don't worry, they won't say anything."
If you dare to speak out, you might even be able to sit back and watch the drama unfold.
System: [Eating melons is great, I love eating melons.]
Hearing the fearless voices of the two, one big and one small, Huo Zheng's lips twitched.
Well, I worried for nothing.
When Lu Mingyue returned to the family compound, she was immediately surrounded by the aunties.
"Mingyue, what happened to Xiaoling? Will she be able to come back?"
What did your parents say?
"I just saw Meng Jun come back. He probably doesn't know about this yet."
The crowd's tone was full of disdain for Meng Xiaoling. This little girl has learned to use such despicable methods. We should tell our children to stay away from her in the future.
"Thank you for your concern, aunties. I don't know the specifics either. The police officer told me to come back first."
Lu Mingyue showed weakness at the right time, her almond-shaped eyes moist and her eye sockets red, as if she had been frightened.
The aunties felt heartbroken seeing this. What a good child! It's a pity his mother died so young, otherwise he wouldn't have been bullied by Tian Xiaoju and her son.
Everyone knows that the farce just now was probably related to Tian Xiaoju.
Like mother, like daughter.
Lu Mingyue was in a hurry to go home and pack her things, so she chatted with them for a few minutes and then made an excuse to leave.
When she got home, Meng Jun was indeed there. When he saw Lu Mingyue return, he yelled that he was hungry and ordered her to cook.
In the past, Lu Mingyue was like a maid at home, and anyone could step on her.
Every day after get off work, I have to come home and cook for my family.
She is skilled, but she lacks a sense of self-worth. A casual compliment from someone can make her feel elated for a long time.
Meng Jun knew that his second sister loved being praised, so he pursed his lips and said, "Second sister's sweet and sour pork is the best, and so is her ghee cake. I've wanted to eat it for a long time."
When she usually says this, my second sister will immediately put on an apron and start cooking.
Why is he acting so strangely today? He didn't say a word when he came in, nor did he even glance at him. He just went back to his room on his own.
A rumbling sound came from his stomach. Meng Jun, who had been pampered since childhood, had never experienced such a life. He knocked hard on Lu Mingyue's door, asking her to cook for him.
Lu Mingyue suddenly opened the door, and Meng Jun stumbled and fell to the ground, his palms bleeding from the friction.
Tears welled up in his eyes instantly. "I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you bullied me."
Lu Mingyue leaned against the door frame, looking at the unruly child in front of her, and said casually, "Oh, whatever. Mom and Dad are at the police station now. Go ahead and try if you dare."
Children have a natural awe of the police station, believing that only bad people go there.
Meng Jun's tears stopped abruptly.
"Don't bother me, or I'll have the police arrest you."
Lu Mingyue made a threatening gesture, closed the door, and continued packing.
His gaze swept across the room inch by inch, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The original owner's room contained nothing but a bed, a bedside table, and a wardrobe.
No wonder Huo Zheng didn't notice anything unusual when he came in.
It was completely white and bare; it didn't look like a girl's room at all.
The wardrobe contained only clothes in black, white, and gray, only four or five pieces, and the cuffs were all patched and worn.
In the original owner's memory, her wardrobe was full of dresses when her biological mother was alive.
Things changed at home after her stepmother arrived; Meng Xiaoling took her clothes.
Telling Meng Mancang was useless; he would only try to smooth things over. Over time, the original owner gradually became numb to this environment.
