Zhou Xiang stormed back into the living room. Ling Ran had just returned. Seeing his lover's furious face, he quickly went over to comfort her. "That's enough. Why bother with them?"
Zhou Xiang took a deep breath and said, "You know I hate hypocritical people like this. I didn't expect to find a pair right away. The most disgusting thing is that I didn't notice it before. This is what annoys me the most."
"Didn't we go abroad before they were exposed? Don't be angry, don't be angry, what about them?"
His wife asked him to send someone to guard the Fang family's house, but the security guard said that no one was there.
"In the study, I asked Lu Ying to watch over it. I was worried that Fang Xin would transfer the things Weibin gave him." Speaking of Zhou Weibin, Zhou Xiang became a little worried. "Have you told Weibin? Does he have any evidence?"
Even if there were one or two invoices that could prove that the valuable things in Fang Xin's hands were given by Zhou Weibin, it would not be in vain for her to go through so much trouble for him.
"I did," Ling Ran nodded. "I told him Fang Xin was blaming his dad. He said the invoices were all in the school dormitory. And the salesperson at the Pearl Mall in the provincial capital also knew him and teased him that he would love his girlfriend."
Sighing, Zhou Xiang leaned on his lover's shoulder and asked, "What do you think Fang Xin is up to?"
He used his other hand to rub the top of his lover's head. "You don't like those fancy things. Many of your clothes were bought for you by Senior Jiang. Of course you don't understand. In fact, I don't understand either. However, when we first came back before the New Year, I saw her coming to see Jiankang, and she was wearing quite decent clothes."
Huh? Did she get some good stuff from Zhou Weibin, dress herself up, and then show it off in front of Jiankang? Where's her face?
In the study, Wang Aihuan felt a little guilty because of Zhou's certainty. Could her daughter have really lied? If she asked Zhou Yizhou to come out and clarify the facts, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Thinking of this, she felt even more uneasy. She looked at her daughter and wanted to ask a few questions, but then she saw Lu Ying standing by the door. Not only was she not free to move, she was also not free to speak.
In the evening, Lawyer Fang came to Zhou's house with a sturdy middle-aged man. "Ms. Zhou, this is my friend Wang Shengguo, the neighborhood police officer. I asked him to help."
The local police? No matter if they're old friends or new friends, as long as they can solve the problem, that's fine.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
"Hello, Miss Zhou!"
Zhou wanted to take Wang Shengguo to the study to ask Wang Aihuan and her daughter first. Ling Ran called Zhou Yizhou and asked them to wait at home, and he would bring someone over.
In the study, Wang Shengguo asked very skillfully the following questions: the approximate number of times Zhou Weibin had pestered Fang Xin, what Zhou Weibin said and his facial expressions and eyes when he was pestering her, what future promises Zhou Weibin had made, whether Zhou Weibin had given any gifts, and whether Fang Xin accepted them.
Various sharp questions came one after another, and Fang Xin's answers went from fluent to stuttering and pauses, and then to silence, which made Lawyer Fang's face darker and darker.
Wang Aihuan hugged her silent daughter and blamed her husband for bringing back such a friend and interrogating the child like a criminal.
Wang Shengguo stood up to indicate that he had finished asking questions, and then left the study. Lawyer Fang followed him out with a sullen face.
In the living room, Wang Shengguo shook his head at the other lawyer, "Your daughter's scheming shouldn't be underestimated! She answered the questions flawlessly at the beginning, but then, unable to answer, she simply remained silent, using maternal love to protect herself. If you nurture her well, she'll definitely be as good as you in the future. It's a pity that she went astray."
Lawyer Fang's face turned red with embarrassment, because he had already discovered the problem from the questions asked by Wang Shengguo.
Zhou wanted to invite the two of them to sit down and have dinner, and then go to Zhou Weibin's place after dinner.
Although Lawyer Fang was in no mood and had no appetite, it was getting dark and he couldn't let Wang Shengguo go hungry with him, so he sat down and reluctantly ate half a bowl of rice.
Seeing that he couldn't eat, Zhou Xiang sighed, put down the bowl in his hand and said: "Actually, last night, I went to the Zhou family. The Zhou family didn't intend to make a fuss, nor did they intend to take back the things they gave away. Even Zhou Weibin planned to spend the summer vacation with the team.
The Zhou family and I thought that this matter would be handled calmly and would be over after a while, but Comrade Wang brought Fang Xin to our house and insisted that I could make the decision for Fang Xin without saying anything. He also asked Zhou Yizhou to clarify the facts. If he hadn't used such an unreasonable request to slap me in the face, I wouldn't have made a big deal out of it.
Lawyer Fang, I think I treat you well and your working hours are very flexible. If your wife and daughter have any opinions about me, or if they feel that my benefits are not high enough, they can tell me.
Mrs. Ling made such a request. To be honest, Lawyer Fang, in the past twenty years, since I started to rise up, I have never been put down like this by anyone except my enemies. Maybe I overestimate myself. Maybe in the eyes of some noble people, I am just a jumping clown without knowing it?
"Ling Ran, accompany Lawyer Fang to the school! After we finish questioning them, call Lü Ying and ask her to release Ms. Wang and Ms. Fang."
Zhou Xiang turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Lawyer Fang opened his mouth to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked. He didn't know what to say. Should he admit his fault? Apologize on behalf of his wife and daughter? Comfort Miss Zhou? No matter what, he had no right to speak.
Wang Shengguo patted Lawyer Fang on the shoulder to comfort him. What was once an enviable situation could only be pitied now.
Not long after Zhou Xiang lay in bed, Yuanyuan came with her two younger sisters.
"Aunt."
"Aunt."
"Mother."
Zhou Xiang smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Xiaotong climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her mother. "Mom, Sister Xinxin often sneers at us when no one else is looking. I know she's just looking down on us and is proud of being from Beijing. So why does she still come?"
Zhou Xiang stroked his daughter's hair and said, "Being from Beijing doesn't necessarily mean being rich. Perhaps the place they live in is of high value, but it cannot be converted into cash for various reasons.
Moreover, if non-Beijing residents go to study in Beijing, they have to return to their hometowns to take the high school entrance exams and college entrance exams. However, Beijing residents who study in other places can take the exams directly in their hometowns, enjoy many preferential policies, and even be given priority for admission.
"Then why doesn't she go to school directly in Beijing? If she takes the exam directly in Beijing, won't the preferential policies be gone?" Ling Xiaotong didn't understand.
"There are still some. Beijing residents receive the same preferential policies no matter where they live. However, Beijing schools never exceed class time, nor do they take up students' extracurricular time. There isn't much homework, and parents complain to teachers whenever they're dissatisfied. Teachers become passive, and this gradually wears away their enthusiasm. Students' grades are declining significantly. Many students at Beijing's prestigious universities are from other places."
"Ah? So is it good or bad to be a Beijing native?" Ling Xiaotong was even more confused.
"I don't know, but the only thing they have in common is that many people are proud to be from the capital, and they regard obtaining a Beijing hukou as their lifelong goal. Therefore, people from the capital are arrogant."
Ling Xiaotong was confused and went back with her sisters to find brother Yan'er.
