Chapter 118: What I Heard Wasn't the Truth



Song Shiting nodded and said, "It's all in the past."

Ruan Qingling looked at the sky and said, "Let's get up and find something to eat."

Song Shiting asked, "Want to sleep a little longer?"

Ruan Qingling: "I'm not going to sleep. Let's see if there are any other messages."

She wanted to go to the police station to see how Zhao Mei would explain herself.

Ya Ya hadn't woken up yet, so Song Shiting thought for a moment, then went outside to buy some food and ate it at the guesthouse.

When he returned, Ya Ya had already woken up. Ruan Qingling helped her wash up, and the family of three ate breakfast before going to the police station.

When they arrived, Ruan Hanmin was there, but Zhao Mei and Ruan Dongxue were not.

Ruan Hanmin accompanied Ruan Dongxue to the hospital.

According to Ruan Hanmin, Ruan Dongxue started feeling unwell at 10:30 pm last night.

By 11 o'clock, the situation had become increasingly serious, and by 11:30, they had already come out.

Ruan Hanmin said, "I originally wanted to knock on the door to wake you up, but after thinking about it, I realized you might have just fallen asleep, and Dongxue's condition was quite urgent, so I rushed her to the nearby clinic."

He did lock the outer door when he left, but he couldn't figure out what happened to the inner door.

Because the wooden door was made of solid wood and had good sound insulation, Ruan Qingling didn't hear anything happening outside.

Around that time, their attention was entirely focused on the view outside the window, and they were thinking about going to bed early so they could be more vigilant in the quiet of the night.

So during that time period, she and Song Shiting were probably really asleep.

But who stuck the chopsticks in there?

She was convinced that the chopsticks were made by Zhao Mei.

Even if it wasn't Zhao Mei, it's possible that Zhao Mei gave the house key to someone else and had someone else come over to do it!

She suddenly looked at Ruan Hanmin: "Dad, is there something you haven't explained clearly? If so, please explain it clearly at once. I don't want to stay in the dark forever."

Nguyen Han Min pursed his lips tightly.

Ruan Qingling stared intently at her: "Also, did Second Sister go to Jingcheng to work or to visit relatives? Why was there a car waiting for her at the door? Although I was married off to a remote mountain village, my life has been anything but peaceful. Either someone wants to ruin my reputation or someone wants to kill me. Tell me why all this is happening?"

Since it would all come to a head eventually anyway, Ruan Qingling simply asked directly.

It's quite solemn to be standing inside the police station at this time.

Ruan Hanmin paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what has happened to you recently."

He then looked at Ruan Qingling and asked, "You doubt Dad?"

Ruan Qingling: "I'm not questioning, I'm asking why you did this? Dad, am I not your daughter?"

She held Ya Ya in her arms, looking calmly at Ruan Hanmin.

Ruan Hanmin immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you are my daughter. Even though your mother is gone, you are still my daughter, that's for sure."

Ruan Qingling stared into Ruan Hanmin's eyes for two seconds, which made Ruan Hanmin feel a little overwhelmed. He turned his face away and said, "You are Daddy's daughter."

Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "Okay, since Dad says so, then I believe him."

Nguyen Han Min nodded, visibly relieved.

Song Shiting was a little surprised. Why did Ruan Qingling believe him?

"What about Amei? Why don't you dare to say? What was she doing in Jingcheng?" Ruan Qingling asked again.

Ruan Hanmin hesitated for a second before saying, "She also went to work, but she was introduced by your Aunt Mei's relative, so they pay more attention to her there."

Ruan Qingling looked at Ruan Hanmin and realized that what she was hearing was not the truth.

She didn't want to listen either.

It was noon, and the inquiry and record-keeping had reached a certain stage, but Ruan Hanmin was anxious to go back and deal with the dilapidated house.

Song Shiting simply took Ruan Qingling and Ya Ya to a noodle shop near the police station for a meal.

He sat down and asked, "Why don't you continue asking?"

Ruan Qingling: "I don't think he will tell me. Next, all I need to know is which family Ruan Meiying went to in Jingcheng, and then I'll know whether they have anything to do with me."

Ruan Hanmin treated the original owner well since childhood, like a father.

But people always change.

Song Shiting nodded and said, "There should be news from over there."

...

Zhao Mei secretly made a phone call when no one was around today.

She never wanted to make a phone call, nor did she dare to.

But this time, something really big happened in my family.

When Ruan Meiying received the call, she said with disgust, "Why are you calling me? I've already said that I will transfer every penny that is owed to me. Just don't call me."

Zhao Mei: "Something happened to Amei."

Ruan Meiying's impatient voice came through: "What happened?"

Zhao Mei: "Our house was burned down last night."

Ruan Meiying's voice was completely flat: "How could you be so careless? How could you have gotten burned?"

Zhao Mei: "It's not that we were careless. If Ruan Qingling had burned to death last night, it would have been worth it. It's just a pity that she was completely unharmed, and the fire started inexplicably."

Ruan Meiying's voice was filled with surprise as she asked, "I wanted you to ruin her reputation and make her unable to leave Songjia'ao forever, and what was the result? You really can't do anything right."

Zhao Mei: "Last night I was really prepared. I was going to set off poisonous smoke after they fell asleep. Even if they didn't die, they would at least become stupid and wouldn't have any trouble in the future. But I don't know who set the fire. They didn't die from the fire, but instead burned down their house."

On the other side, Nguyen My Anh immediately asked, "Did they set the fire?"

Zhao Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be them. The police have already questioned them. They didn't set the fire. It was wood that caught fire at the entrance of the alley in the middle of the night. They also found gasoline drums. So, it couldn't be them."

Ruan Meiying said irritably, "I don't care who started the fire, it has to be dealt with properly. I can't let Ruan Qingling live, and I can't let Ruan Qingling know I'm here. You decide what to do."

As if she felt her words weren't strong enough, she added, "If you want the good life you have now, you have to make her disappear from the world completely. Otherwise, I won't give you a single penny in the future."

"Moreover, they have already discussed marriage with me. I will be marrying into a better family. Just think about it, I have a prominent family of origin and a good husband's family. You will have more money than you can spend in the future. But all of this must be based on a certain foundation, you understand."

Zhao Mei's trembling heart finally calmed down.

Yes, her daughter went to Jingcheng and now has a good husband.

No matter what, she had to hold on.

"Okay, Mom understands. Mom will definitely find a way."

Ruan Meiying said in an unfriendly tone: "Also, don't call me unless it's something really urgent, and definitely don't send me a telegram."

“But…” Zhao Mei asked, “If I don’t call you or send you a telegram, how can I contact you if something happens here?”
