“A casual remark cannot be taken as evidence, but what if the witness exists?” Shen Qian crossed her arms and glanced at Qi Ran with a sarcastic look in her eyes.
Qi Ran gritted her teeth, her hands, already covered in cold sweat, rubbing them back and forth on her pants. Even now, she was still being stubborn: "A witness isn't something you can just decide to have."
Li Xiaofang was pushed off the cliff by Qi Ran herself, and Qi Ran also witnessed her dying.
of.
Qi Ran was absolutely certain that Li Xiaofang was no longer alive, but when she met Shen Qian's disdainful gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Shen Qian's next words sent Qi Ran into an icy abyss.
"Li Xiaofang is right outside the door. Qi Ran, do you dare to let her in to confront you?"
As soon as Shen Qian finished speaking, a woman wearing a dark blue coarse cotton coat and with two braids walked in from the Lu family's door.
When Qi Ran saw the woman, her eyes widened in terror, and she screamed, "Li Xiaofang?! Weren't you dead?!"
The villagers who were originally watching the play also screamed and avoided Li Xiaofang, hiding in the corner of the wall.
Everyone in Cuishui Village knows that Li, a educated youth, accidentally fell off a cliff and died while climbing a mountain. When people found her, her body was so badly gnawed by ants that it was unrecognizable.
The woman in front of me now looks nine-tenths like Li Zhiqing back then. The only difference is that her once young and smooth face is now covered with wrinkles, and even her once thick black hair has sprouted strands of white hair.
"Qi Ran!" Li Xiaofang's bloodshot eyes blazed with fury, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Back then, you killed my twin sister, Li Xiaoyu!"
"Twin sister? You have a twin sister?!" Qi Ran was almost going crazy. No wonder "Li Xiaofang's" behavior was so different from usual. They hadn't considered this, and it had actually caused this trouble?
Even Shen Qianqian, who used to share a dormitory with Li Xiaofang, didn't know that Li Xiaofang had a twin sister.
In Shen Qianqian's memory, Li Xiaofang was an aloof person, and during their time in the dormitory...
The number of words a person has said can be counted on one hand.
Even Shen Qian only learned about this recently when she returned to the city—Li Xiaofang didn't die; it was her twin sister, Li Xiaoyu, who died back then.
Because of Li Xiaoyu's accidental death, her parents blamed her for everything and even jumped into the river and died five months ago, leaving Li Xiaofang to live alone in the city.
Shen Qian can still clearly recall the scene from that day.
She was stranded at the mall entrance due to a sudden downpour. A disheveled woman walked towards her from a distance, and when she looked up, she realized it was Li Xiaofang.
If it weren't for her body temperature, Shen Qian would probably have fainted from fright.
After that, Li Xiaofang told her everything, with only one request: "Chen Qian, help me get revenge! I want to avenge my sister, parents, and myself!"
Li Xiaofang's words failed to evoke any sympathy from Shen Qian, even though the person in front of her was so thin her cheeks were sunken and she was filthy and disheveled.
Li Xiaofang was an accomplice in that incident!
However, Shen Qian was quite happy to watch the dog-eat-dog situation unfold.
Besides, the real culprit, the person manipulating everything behind the scenes, hasn't been caught yet!
...
"You two must have conspired to frame me!" Qi Ran retorted preemptively, "So what if there are witnesses? How can you two prove you're not in cahoots?!"
Li Xiaofang sneered: "Qi Ran, you really won't give up until you've reached the finish line!"
After saying that, she took out a stack of envelopes from her bag and handed them all to the police: "These are all letters between Qi Laoliu and me."
The policeman took the envelopes and began to read them one by one. The more he read, the deeper his brow furrowed.
Qi Ran stared intently at the police officer's expression, feeling as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.
How could she not know that Sixth Brother had written any letters to Li Xiaofang? If there really was something in those letters...
Rong, please don't let her get involved.
"Take a look for yourselves," the policeman said, handing the letter unopened to Qi Ran and her mother.
The two of them immediately started flipping through it.
Unaware of the truth, the onlookers craned their necks to see once again. Li Xiaofang, determined to ruin their family's reputation in Cuishui Village, raised her voice and said:
"Qi Laoliu is nothing but a good-for-nothing scoundrel. He has no real skills and is only good at deceiving women."
The boy has a whole repertoire of tricks up his sleeve. Years ago, when I returned to the city to visit relatives, I happened to meet Qi Laoliu, who was working there. After a few sweet words and some coaxing, we started dating.
"On my birthday, he gave me a bouquet of flowers and specifically told me to arrange the flowers as soon as I got home, otherwise they would wilt very quickly."
"After I finished arranging the flowers, I rushed out the door and returned to the dormitory to find a disgusting scene. I later learned that it was all the fault of that flower. They had tampered with it so that the effects of the medicine would spread along with the fragrance of the flower."
These letters are filled with details of Li Xiaofang and Qi Laoliu's interactions, including Qi Laoliu's initial sweet talk and manipulation, his attempts to entice Li Xiaofang to join him at the back of the mountain after the incident...
"What else can these things prove besides that you're a used woman who was slept with by my son?" Qi's mother rudely threw the letter in front of Li Xiaofang.
She had been listening with bated breath, thinking that the woman in front of her really had some crucial evidence.
Some innocuous letters are far from enough to convict her youngest son!
"Of course I have other evidence," Li Xiaofang said with absolute certainty. "You don't really think your good-for-nothing son can wield such influence in the city entirely through his own abilities, do you?"
