Seeing her fiancé staring at Ni Sitian like that, Jiang Yiyi's anger flared up. Even though she didn't like Qin Mubei, even if he was a dog, he was still Jiang Yiyi's dog.
"Why don't you go comfort your ex-girlfriend? You might only see her again when you visit her in prison." Jiang Yiyi sneered.
Qin Mubei frowned and turned to look at Jiang Yiyi: "What do you mean?"
"She killed someone, an eight-month-old fetus. She'll be in jail soon." Jiang Yiyi opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and yawned lazily.
Seeing her like this, Qin Mubei hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Ni Sitian.
"What happened?" he asked Ni Sitian with concern.
Ni Sitian didn't want to get involved with them, and only coldly reminded Qin Mubei, "You'd better watch out for that venomous woman next to you."
She didn't say anything more, walked past Qin Mubei towards the road, hailed a taxi, and got in.
Qin Mubei watched the car drive away before turning his gaze back to it, and walked back to the car with a sullen face.
"Heh, who are you trying to impress with that sullen face?" Jiang Yiyi mocked Qin Mubei.
Qin Mubei ignored her. In his interactions with Jiang Yiyi these past few days, he couldn't find a better way than to treat her with such indifference.
Jiang Yiyi felt like she had punched cotton, finding it incredibly boring and too lazy to talk to Qin Mubei anymore. Instead, she sent a text message to her lover.
Meanwhile, Ni Sitian called her aunt and uncle from the car to confirm that they had brought Ni Tianzhen home. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked the driver to turn around and head home.
When she got home, she was exhausted. So much had happened in just a few hours: Li Shaoan had passed away, Zhang Yijia had lost her child, and they were now under investigation. It was all a mess.
Ni Sitian collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. She was supposed to call a courier to send her the sample books from the raffle, but she had no interest in doing so now.
She lay blankly on the sofa, neither asleep nor wanting to get up, feeling a throbbing headache, probably because she had spent too much time crying with Ni Tianzhen earlier.
I lay there for several hours, until the sky gradually darkened.
When Xu Tingchuan returned, he saw Ni Sitian lying on the sofa with her eyes open, seemingly staring into the distance. He quickly walked over to her.
As he approached, he noticed her eyes were swollen and her face was streaked with tears. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking softly, "What happened?"
Ni Sitian had been emptying her mind all afternoon, and only when he held her in his arms did she feel a sense of solidity. She raised her arms to wrap around his shoulders, and said weakly, "Tingchuan, my brother-in-law is gone."
Xu Tingchuan was slightly taken aback, but not too surprised, since Li Shaoan's illness meant he didn't have many days left to live.
“He was trying to save my sister, protecting her as she rolled down the stairs.” Ni Sitian still vividly remembers that harrowing moment, and said sadly, “Before he left, he said that his biggest regret in life was not being able to hold onto my sister on the rooftop that day.”
Although Xu Tingchuan was curious about what had happened, he did not interrupt Ni Sitian and let her explain slowly.
From her fragmented, illogical lyricism, the story is slowly pieced together.
Finally, he frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Jiang Yiyi and Zhang Yijia are now insisting that you and Ni Tianzhen pushed Zhang Yijia?"
“Yes, I was questioned at the police station for a long time. I was very scared, very scared that they would…” Ni Sitian bit her lip worriedly.
Xu Tingchuan's expression darkened slightly. He put his arm around Ni Sitian and patted her gently, reassuring her, "It's alright. No one can frame you for something you didn't do. Don't worry, I'm here."
