Chapter 221 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
I was stunned. Su Ying was really a big talker. She always talked to Shen Yixiao about everything.
I didn't reply.
Shen Yixiao sent another message: If you need money, I can give it to you. I have no other requirements. I just hope you don’t worry about this matter.
I looked at Xu Zhengnan, and now I don’t seem to be worried anymore.
So I replied: No need, I'm not worried, you might as well let Lu Xiaoyun and Su Ying worry about it.
Shen Yixiao: Wife, do you have to be so cold to me? It seems like you and I have a blood feud. We had such a good relationship before, but you don't have any feelings for us at all?
Me: Shen Yixiao, don’t forget, you were wrong first. No matter what I do or say now, it’s your retribution, not my fault.
Shen Yixiao: I know it's my fault, so I want to make up for it. I don't want to talk to anyone or do anything now. Without you, everything is meaningless.
Me: You are so naive.
Shen Yixiao: You said that you want me to get your father’s information back from Meng Zicheng and give it to you, and you will give me another chance. Is that true or false? Also, Liang Feng said you want to file for divorce?
Me: Yes, you have to do it first. If you don’t give it to me, I will file for divorce and we will both die together.
Shen Yixiao did not reply to me. If he could get the information from Meng Zicheng and give it to me, then I would have enough time to find out about my father's affairs. Meng Zicheng was like a person with a mental illness, and his emotions were very unstable. One day he might not even listen to Shen Yixiao and send out the information directly. My father's reputation would be ruined. Even if it was clarified later, it would be like mending the fold after the sheep had been bolted, and it would be impossible to recover.
"Who are you chatting with?" Xu Zhengnan came close to me and asked softly.
I didn’t lie to him, “Shen Yixiao, he heard from Su Ying that I was in trouble and needed money, so he wanted to give me money.”
Xu Zhengnan's eyes flashed with contempt, "Really?"
His disgust and contempt for Shen Yixiao could be felt at any time.
"Yes, but I didn't agree. After all, I wasn't the one who got into trouble." I took Xu Zhengnan's arm, glanced at Xia Yu, and asked in a low voice, "Have you finished talking?"
Xia Yu coughed twice and said, "We're done chatting. Oh, I'm such a sinner. I disturbed your two-person space for so long. Next time, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology."
Xu Zhengnan's eyes were stern, "Will you treat us to a meal next time? It's not you who's treating us this time?"
Xia Yu waved his hand, "Of course not, please."
After saying that, he stood up gracefully. "Okay, thank you for your hospitality. Since Miss Li is the person involved in the painting, you can contact her directly. I am in a hurry to go back for a blind date. My mother introduced a girl to me. She is a rare beauty. I must go back to see her!"
As Xu Zhengnan and I stared at each other in death, Xia Yu left very calmly.
I laughed a little and said, "I'll treat you."
"Don't worry, your boyfriend doesn't need the money for this meal." Xu Zhengnan naturally refused.
The main thing is that he wanted to trick Xia Yu, but failed and was very puzzled.
After dinner, Xu Zhengnan received a number from Xia Yu, which was from Lawyer Guo. He called to communicate and told Lawyer Guo not to worry about his affairs, as he would handle the ancient painting matter himself.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at me and said, "Now I am your direct creditor, don't you have anything to say?"
"Uh, creditor, listen to me, I was framed by someone..." He interrupted me before I could finish my words.
"Alright, you've explained so much to me about my love for you. You're just as talkative as when we were little."
I burst out laughing and took his arm, "Okay."
Now that this matter has been settled, my mood has completely improved. I took Xu Zhengnan to a nearby park for a stroll. Just like other young couples, we were sweet and warm. This feeling made me very happy. This is something I have never gotten from Shen Yixiao.
Because Shen Yixiao was a gangster from the beginning and had too many enemies, if I went out with him, I would be sought after for no reason. As a result, whenever I went out to eat or go shopping with him, I would feel nervous and unable to relax.
Later he started his own business and we were so busy that we had no time to eat, drink and have fun.
Later, he became rich. I was depressed at home because of my infertility, and he was busy with work. We had even less time to hang out together. Every time we appeared in front of others, we were showing off our affection or had social engagements. We had long lost the original intention of our initial fantasy.
——
Two days later, I received a notification from the police that the fingerprints had been extracted.
I rushed to the police station and asked them to call Su Ying over for fingerprint comparison.
As the amount involved in this case was relatively large, the police did not dare to be negligent and decided to call Su Ying over. Fortunately, Su Ying was still here and had not left. She should have been waiting to see my show. When she heard the police summoning her, she brought Lu Xiaoyun and rushed over without saying a word.
I sat on the chair and watched the two of them walk in.
Su Ying asked happily, "Police, do you want me to testify against her? I was standing behind her at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that she lost her balance, fell, broke the glass, and then smashed the painting!"
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Su Ying and said nothing.
"Were you standing behind her at the time? Are you sure you saw it clearly?" the police asked.
"Yes, I definitely saw it clearly. Although the power was out for a while, I could feel it." Su Ying looked at me smugly, "Li Yue, how are you going to compensate them so much money now? Just go to jail. You don't want to be with Shen Yixiao anyway, so you can go to jail and make him give up."
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, "Comrade police, please compare her fingerprints."
After hearing what I said, Su Ying seemed to be unresponsive for a moment. When she finally responded, her expression changed drastically. "What fingerprints?!"
"Su Ying, you were standing behind me at that time. I felt someone pushed me, and you said it wasn't you. In order to prove your innocence, I handed my coat to the police for fingerprint extraction. There must be the fingerprints of the person who pushed me on it. Can't you just compare them?" I replied with a smile.
Su Ying couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said in panic, "Are you crazy? Why did I push you? I'm not doing the comparison. I haven't done anything illegal or criminal. Why do you want to extract my fingerprints?"
Lu Xiaoyun didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looked at me. She was very cautious, as if she had guessed that this visit was no good, so it was better to speak less. Sometimes she was still very sharp and cunning.
The police officer said seriously, "Miss Su, please cooperate. This fingerprint comparison is not just for you. The people standing behind Li Yue at the time will be summoned to record their fingerprints and compare them one by one. If someone really pushed her, then the culprit can be directly found. If you refuse, you will delay the police investigation and be suspected of committing a crime."
