Chapter 233 News of Death
But Xu Shanshan still didn't come the next day.
Xu Shanshan and Wang Qianqian had a fight and parted ways yesterday. Wang Qianqian didn't even make it home until late at night.
After entering the house, he would naturally lie down on the bed, eat from the pot first, and then not wash it afterward.
If Xu Shanshan wants to use it, she has to wash the pot first.
Throughout her life, Xu Shanshan, having endured Wen Changyu's forbearance, had no idea how to "bow her head."
Now, naturally, they won't indulge Wang Qianqian anymore.
So she went out to buy something to eat.
But when she returned, Wang Qianqian was lying on the outside of the bed with her legs crossed, clearly indicating that she did not intend to let her get on the bed.
There was only one bed in the room, and Xu Shanshan had nowhere else to lie down, so she asked Wang Qianqian, "What do you mean by this?"
"You eat my food and use my things, and you still think you're right?"
Wang Qianqian was also unhappy and simply sat up. "What's wrong?"
Why are you taking your anger out on me for no reason? Did I offend you?
"Go find whoever upsets you, don't take it out on me all the time."
Wang Qianqian's words became her fault.
Xu Shanshan was furious. She pointed at Wang Qianqian and after a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Fine, if you're so capable, then from today onwards, don't use a single penny of my money."
As Xu Shanshan spoke, she began packing her things, preparing to go to the guesthouse first.
Wang Qianqian was furious. "What do you mean by that?"
What do you mean by "spending your money"?
"Don't we do the work together every day?"
"When you set up your stall, wasn't I always there with you?"
Are you planning not to give me a single penny?
Wang Qianqian stepped forward and pulled at her, making it seem as if she wouldn't let her step out the door unless she gave her money.
Xu Shanshan had been frail all these years, and she was no match for the strength of a young woman like her. She was pulled and stumbled.
How could you be so cruel?
"It's one thing if you treat your own daughter badly, but don't you like my dad?"
"Weren't you willing to give your life for him all those years?"
"What's wrong? Just because you know he likes men and doesn't like you, and you know you can't even compare to men, you've started to be vicious towards me?"
"I'm telling you, you dare try treating me like that!"
"Give me back my money, or you won't be leaving this room!" Wang Qianqian suddenly shouted fiercely.
Xu Shanshan was pulled and stumbled. After finally regaining her balance, she was verbally abused. Xu Shanshan's breath hitched slightly, and then she saw Wang Qianqian's fierce expression.
"...What do you want to do?" Xu Shanshan asked in a deep breath.
"Give me the money you've earned," Wang Qianqian shouted irritably.
"You're always causing trouble. If it weren't for you causing trouble, would I have ended up like this?"
"Let me tell you, you owe me something you'll never be able to repay in this lifetime."
"You're such an idiot. You treat men who like you like treasures, but those who like you like trash. Aren't you just pathetic?"
"If you hadn't acted like a fool, would I have ended up like this?"
"I could have been the commander's daughter. Do you understand the value of those four words?"
“I could have lived a life of ease, never having to suffer, always being chauffeured around and having everyone smile at me.”
"It's you, it's you, do you know that?"
"You're the one who ruined my life!"
As Wang Qianqian spoke, she became agitated, slowly approaching Xu Shanshan, her eyes red.
Xu Shanshan looked at her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Wang Qianqian suddenly stretched out her hands, "You're the one who ruined me, you're the one who ruined me..."
Xu Shanshan didn't expect her to suddenly reach out. By the time she remembered to resist, the suffocation around her neck made her grip much weaker.
Driven by the will to survive, she desperately grabbed Wang Qianqian's hands, leaving deep bloody scratches on both of Wang Qianqian's hands in an instant.
Originally, Wang Qianqian just wanted to vent her anger, but the injury on the back of her hand and the great pain made her anger rise even higher.
She thought about how Xu Shanshan had ruined her life of wealth and luxury, and how this vicious woman was making things difficult for her in every way, refusing to let her spend her money. As a result, she unconsciously increased the strength in her hands.
When Wang Qianqian regained consciousness, Xu Shanshan had stopped struggling.
"...You, don't pretend, I...I'm not Wen Changyu, I don't fall for your act..."
With a thud, Wang Qianqian let go, and Xu Shanshan fell to the ground.
After a long period of trepidation, Wang Qianqian finally squatted down and reached out to check Xu Shanshan's breath.
"Ah..." Wang Qianqian fell to the ground with a thud, covered her mouth with her hands, and looked in a panic at the closed door.
It was hot, so although the door was closed, the windows were open for ventilation.
Wang Qianqian quickly got up from the ground, went to close the window, and finally drew the curtains.
After doing all this, Wang Qianqian collapsed onto the edge of the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The curtains in the little house they stayed in were drawn tight at night and were not opened again the next day.
Until the next night, in the middle of the night, when there was no sound of people outside except for the croaking of frogs, Wang Qianqian dragged a large denim bag out of the house and struggled to carry it out of the alley.
——
The next day, Wen Changle didn't see Xu Shanshan at the stall and said, "She still has some shame and didn't come back. Otherwise, I would have cursed her to death."
But on the third day, Wen Changyu received news of Xu Shanshan's death.
When Wen Changyu received the news, he was in a meeting. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he couldn't even stand up.
Upon learning this news, even though the Wen family didn't get along well with Xu Shanshan, they still rushed to the police station immediately.
Zhizhi and the others went too.
Because she had been dead for two days and her body was not in good condition, Wen Changyu and Wen Jinzhou went to identify Xu Shanshan's body.
Clear marks from strangulation still remained on Xu Shanshan's stiff neck.
"Who did it?" Wen Changyu asked, his eyes red.
Jiang Yu, who was in charge of the case, stood to the side and said, "It's Wang Qianqian, the one that Auntie adopted before."
Upon hearing this, Wen Changyu staggered.
Only Wen Jinzhou was particularly agitated: "Where is she?"
Where is he?
As Wen Jinzhou was about to rush out, Jiang Yu quickly stopped him, saying, "Calm down."
Wen Jinzhou's eyes were red, and tears slid down his cheeks. "I can't calm down. I need to see her."
Although Jiang Yu could understand him very well, rules are rules, and it was impossible to let him see the criminal suspect at this time.
Wen Jinshu was much calmer now. He only asked with red eyes, "Is it the death penalty?"
Jiang Yu nodded. "Yes, given that the aunt raised her and the circumstances are quite egregious, she will definitely face the death penalty in the end."
Wen Jinshu closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, tears streaming down her face. "Okay!"
He always thought that he had seen through Xu Shanshan, his biological mother, and had no need for maternal love.
But today he realized that he was no different from his younger brother; he, too, was yearning for something he couldn't have.
Xu Shanshan's death was a blow to everyone, especially Wen Changyu and Wen Jinzhou, who both fell ill.
In the end, Wen Jinshu handled Xu Shanshan's funeral arrangements.
