Xu Qingyan calmly replied, "I'm sure!"
Even if you define certain forms of physical abuse as mistreatment, that has nothing to do with me. Aside from today's accidental misbehavior, I have never laid a hand on Xu Xiaocao. You can ask her yourself!
This is the truth. Xu Qingyan had always maintained his aloofness, so he had never actually laid a hand on Xu Xiaocao. He had only fanned the flames when he was unhappy, allowing Wei Jinlian to teach her a lesson.
Seeing Xu Qingyan's calm expression, Peng Li had no choice but to let him leave first. Then he let Xu Qiang into the interrogation room.
"Based on the police report, is it true that your family has committed serious abuse against your youngest daughter?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Officer, didn't you just see it?"
What kind of person is that child? Do you think a child like that can be left undisciplined? Wouldn't that just be raising a troublemaker?
Also, officer, how do you plan to handle her stealing money?
Peng Li's sharp questioning was repeatedly outmaneuvered by Xu Qiang's counter-questions, making it difficult for him to ask any further questions.
Originally, we wanted to deal with Xu Xiaocao's abuse, but now it's turned into dealing with her theft. We can only blame Xu Xiaocao for being so disobedient...
Seeing that Xu Qiang seemed determined, Peng Li had no choice but to let him leave. Then he called Xu Xiaocao in, "Child, your father really wants to sue you, there's really nothing we can do..."
Why don't you ask your family again?
Xu Xiaocao felt utterly hopeless. Hearing the police's suggestion, she shook her head, "No... they won't help me at all..."
Upon hearing this, Peng Li cast a pitying glance at Xu Xiaocao, then, after a moment's thought, his eyes suddenly lit up, "However..."
There are relevant regulations, and we don't need to hold the child accountable!
Because children still have opportunities to be educated and grow.
Xu Xiaocao suddenly sneered, "How old do you think I am this year?"
Peng Li looked at her suspiciously for a moment, "Ten years old? Maybe not?"
Xu Xiaocao smiled sadly, "I'm already sixteen..."
Even in her past life, she was short, simply because she suffered greatly at the hands of the Xu family when she was young...
"Sixteen?! But you look..." Peng Li could hardly believe his ears.
The petite girl in front of me is already sixteen years old, but she looks like she's only ten or so...
Seeing the undisguised shock on Peng Li's face, Xu Xiaocao lowered her eyes. "Then why do you think I stole money?"
From childhood... I've never had a full meal...
I was thinking that I could just hold on for another two years until I got married...
But this time my mom went to the police station because of me, and she definitely won't let me off the hook when she gets back...
There's absolutely no one in my family who's willing to help me; things are already this bad...
If I can't rely on myself, who else can I rely on?
Peng Li was shocked by the child's experience. How could anyone dare to treat their own child like this? It's simply outrageous!
Seeing that Peng Li was starting to side with her, Xu Xiaocao felt that her attempt to play the victim had been quite successful, and now she was just waiting to see...
How much help can it ultimately provide for her...?
Xu Xiaocao remained silent for a long time, then whispered, "I want to report Xu Qiang. He's killed someone..."
