Song Heng pressed his tongue against his back teeth. This little girl is really something, she can turn on you so easily.
"What? You don't recognize me after you lifted my skirt?" the man asked calmly.
Zhou Yun asked in a lazy tone, "So you've come to call the police?"
“Perfect, just as you wish.” After saying that, she nodded slightly with her chin, gesturing for him to look at the police officer not far away.
Song Heng: ...
There was no denying it; this girl harbored considerable hostility towards him.
That won't do.
Just then, a police officer led Zhou Yuntao and others back to the police station. Zhou Jin was still in the hospital getting his stomach pumped.
If it weren't for the police being there, Zhou Yuntao and Lu Jin would have rushed over and torn Zhou Yun to pieces.
"The hospital has just given us the results. There was no poison in Ms. Zhou Jin's stomach, and Ms. Zhou Yun has not been charged with poisoning," the police officer said, stepping forward first.
"How is that possible! Did you have it tested?" Lu Jin asked hurriedly.
"Yes, it only contains an excessive amount of sodium magnesium sulfate, which has not caused any harm to the human body."
“You’re protecting this woman! Did she give you something in return to let her go?” Lu Jin pointed at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun looked up at Lu Jin with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.
“Ms. Lu, please watch your words. In a society governed by the rule of law, evidence is paramount. The hospital has already provided a diagnosis: the medication only caused Zhou Jin's diarrhea; all her other indicators are normal.” The investigating officer immediately became serious.
Lu Jin was frightened by the policeman's righteous and indignant demeanor, so she immediately shut her mouth and put on a pitiful look.
“I treat her like my own daughter. My own daughter was sent abroad for treatment when she was young because of illness. Now she has finally recovered after surgery, but she still has to suffer like this.”
“It’s all my fault. I only brought Xiaojin back because I wanted my family to live a good life. If I had known that Xiaoyun didn’t like her, I shouldn’t have let Xiaojin come back in the first place. It would have been better for her to receive treatment abroad.”
Lu Jin leaned against Zhou Yuntao, wiping away her tears. Her tearful appearance moved everyone around her.
The onlookers got the gist of what Lu Jin said: this family was simply driven to violence by the adopted daughter's jealousy of her biological daughter.
"Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything. The young lady should maintain a calm and peaceful mindset to live a happy life."
"The little girl is quite pretty, I didn't expect her to be jealous of her adoptive parents' biological daughter."
"How can young people these days have no sense of gratitude at all? It's pathetic."
"It's cruel to raise your adoptive parents for decades only to turn around and hurt them."
"As the saying goes, if there is no blood relation, they will always be ungrateful."
The crowd pointed and whispered about Zhou Yun without any restraint.
Seeing the onlookers criticizing Zhou Yun, Zhou Yuntao suppressed his smugness at having stolen Lu Jin's heart, hugged her tightly, and tenderly wiped away her tears.
Zhou Yun looked at the two embracing and slowly uttered, "They're in cahoots."
The sound was very soft, but just enough for the couple to hear.
"Waaah... What sins have I committed to deserve this punishment from heaven? How can I face the Zhou family for raising such a daughter?"
Lu Jin's voice grew louder.
People around Lu Jin began to persuade him, and several others advised Zhou Yun to reconcile with the Zhou couple.
“Xiaoyun, as a daughter of the Zhou family, I don’t intend to hold you responsible for this. The Zhou family is your root, after all. You’ve had your fun outside, come back to the Zhou family and help us. We’re getting old and won’t live for many more years.”
Zhou Yuntao wiped his eyes with a sorrowful expression.
This is to say that she is ungrateful and lives a carefree life, enjoying the benefits of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yun reached out her hand to the young policeman who had just poured her water, and the young policeman ran over happily, looking very attentive.
"Police officer," Zhou Yun looked at the young policeman with a charming and alluring expression, her voice incredibly soft, "Is there still hot water left?"
The young police officer was initially confused by her charm, but once he came to his senses, he quickly nodded, "Yes, yes!"
"Could you pour me a cup? I'd like to dilute the green tea flavor a bit."
The young policeman blushed and nodded sheepishly.
He had just turned around when he was blocked by a figure a head taller than him. "Excuse me."
Song Heng's voice was extremely cold, and his eyes carried a threatening tone.
After saying that, he picked up the kettle and filled the water glass in Zhou Yun's hand with hot water.
Young police officer: ...
Waaah, why did he see murderous intent in this man's eyes?
Waaah, all he wanted was to be a happy little lackey, why was he being threatened?
Zhou Yun: ...
Everyone: ...
There was a strong sense of incongruity. A gentlemanly-looking man was carrying a red thermos, and his aura exuded an aura that told strangers to stay away.
But why did he seem so obsequious when he poured water for that girl?
Zhou Yun was caught off guard by Song Heng's outrageous actions, and this man was becoming increasingly distant from her previous impression of the legendary business tycoon.
We were completely unrelated; I didn't know her before, but I was pretending to be familiar with her.
After that night, he didn't even bother to pretend anymore; he became so shameless in front of her that he could build a wall out of it.
Forget it, men will only make her lose an organ.
Ji Chu is a negative example.
"Ahem, ahem," the police officer cleared his throat twice and continued, "Ms. Zhou, this matter does not involve a criminal case. You may leave now."
"No way!" Lu Jin looked up and insisted.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is at most a family matter. I will handle it as a family dispute." The policeman's face turned cold.
Lu Jin sobbed fearfully, "Fine, drugging doesn't count as poisoning, but it's a fact that she beat my Xiao Jin. You almost beat her to death, and her face is still swollen!"
"Alright, you old white lotus, stop acting like this. I did hit her." Zhou Yun locked her phone screen and spoke indifferently.
"She used my kidney, and I slapped her a few times. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who suffers."
“You adopted me so that I could provide a kidney donor for your own daughter. What’s wrong with me slapping her? Without me, your daughter would have died abroad long ago.”
"And who helped your family go from a small, nearly bankrupt company to a large, listed enterprise in just a few years?"
"Oh! Right, and what about your several welfare homes back home..."
Zhou Yun curled her lips into a smile, wanting to continue speaking.
"I heard that your welfare home has partnerships with several welfare organizations abroad, I wonder..."
"Enough!" A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuntao's eyes.
He then put on a kind father's face, "Xiaoyun, this is a misunderstanding. Xiaojin spoke too harshly, and she has been punished now. You have done so much for the Zhou family over the years, and we have always been indebted to you. If you want to come back in the future, we will always be your support."
After saying that, he put his arm around Lu Jin and prepared to leave.
Lu Jin glared at Zhou Yun relentlessly, cursing, "Zhou Yun, you little bitch, you were adopted by us without parents, and now you've grown up and repay our kindness with enmity."
"You've slept with countless men for business, and you even tricked Ji Chu into becoming his girlfriend, only to be dumped in the end. Haha, you were dumped and then he even donated a kidney to his fiancée. How shameless are you, working for someone else's benefit all these years?"
Lu Jin was so agitated that he became somewhat delirious, and what he said made Zhou Yuntao take a deep breath.
"Say it again," Zhou Yun said calmly.
Everyone was so intimidated by Zhou Yun's aura that they dared not breathe.
The man next to her, in particular, was as cold as an ice sculpture, giving one goosebumps even in the middle of summer.
Lu Jin's insults became even more unrestrained, "I'm your mother, the mother who raised you for over ten years! You were born with a cheap fate, a worthless soul destined to be a mistress, huh!"
Just as he was about to step forward to slap Zhou Yun, a hand grabbed her neck, stopping her from shouting.
"It's noisy and an eyesore." The voice was very soft.
