Chapter 49 Scapegoat
Meng Yuxin stayed in the police station for a night. She was so scared that she almost didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, Mrs. Zhang from the Chu family turned herself in to the police station and admitted to the police that she had stolen the express delivery and Meng Yuxin knew nothing about it.
The police station had no choice but to release Meng Yuxin.
Then the police posted a message on their official blog, saying that the case of Yi Xuecheng’s badge theft had been resolved and the suspect had pleaded guilty.
As for why Mrs. Zhang suddenly turned herself in to the police station, the Chu family did not mention it, acting as if nothing had happened.
When Mr. Chu heard the old housekeeper talk about this matter, he just said lightly: "Let them be."
Of course he knew why Mrs. Zhang turned herself in. It was probably because his son and daughter-in-law offered her generous conditions.
He doesn't care about these things. As long as the problem is solved, he doesn't care how it is solved.
When Meng Yuxin returned to the Chu family, she had two huge dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were full of red bloodshot, which made Meng Qingyan feel very distressed.
Meng Yuxin threw herself into Meng Qingyan's arms and cried for a long time, saying repeatedly while crying:
"Aunt, I was really careless. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't steal anything."
Meng Yuxin cried like a baby. It was the first time in all these years that Meng Yuxin cried so sadly. This made Meng Qingyan, who raised Meng Yuxin as her daughter, feel as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of nails.
"Okay, okay, auntie knows, auntie knows everything. It's not your fault. Be good and don't cry."
Meng Qingyan comforted Meng Yuxin for a long time before she stopped crying.
After Meng Yuxin stopped crying, Meng Qingyan told Meng Yuxin: "Yuxin, this matter has passed, and you don't have to be angry with your cousin. Ah Ci has a bad temper, but she is my own flesh and blood. You two are like my daughters. Auntie really doesn't want to see you two at odds, so just for your auntie, can you be more accommodating to your cousin?"
Meng Yuxin choked up and nodded: "Aunt, I know, my cousin has had a hard time these years, and I have been possessing the love that should have belonged to my cousin for so many years, I am already very satisfied. And this matter is indeed my fault, and my cousin is right to be angry, I will not bear a grudge against her."
"Good boy, I feel relieved when you say that. Besides, you are you, and your cousin is your cousin. Although your cousin is back, you are still my good boy, and the love I give you will not be reduced at all."
Meng Qingyan felt relieved.
At lunch, Meng Qingyan specially asked the kitchen to prepare a table full of Meng Yuxin's favorite dishes.
Meng Yuxin didn't cry, but she looked very cautious as if she had been wronged, which made Meng Qingyan feel very distressed.
At dinner time, the Chu family gathered together.
Today, Mr. Chu rarely got up from his hospital bed and went downstairs to have dinner with everyone.
Together with the Chu family's third master, Chu Muping, and his wife, it was rare for the Chu family to have so many people eating at the same time.
This deserted villa finally became lively.
Chu Ci sat at the table as usual.
Meng Yuxin and Chu Ci meet face to face.
Chu Ci looked normal and was not surprised to see Meng Yuxin. It seemed that he had already expected that nothing would happen to her easily.
Meng Yuxin forced a smile on her face, trying hard not to look unhappy, but at the same time there were tears in her eyes, and she looked very weak.
Meng Qingyan saw it and felt pain in her heart.
