But when I think about Yan Yi's identity and family background, I guess even if he was taken to the police station it would just be a formality.

Looking at Yan Yi's inexplicably gentle face, Shen Mingzhu felt mixed emotions.

In the past, she was very grateful to Yan Yi and was glad that Yan Yi used his status to help her clear her name and save her husband.

But now, this identity has become a protective shell to cover up Yan Yi's evil deeds.

Think about it.

Shen Mingzhu planned to talk to Ke Chuyuqing first.

Although Chu Yuqing's behavior of inviting her to dinner was suspicious, the other party was Zhong Qing's mother after all.

In her opinion, no mother could sit idly by and watch her daughter suffer such abuse.

Anyway, if anyone dares to hurt her Guoguo in the slightest, no matter who he is, she will fight him to the death!

…

Shen Mingzhu stopped Chu Yuqing outside the ward and told her the truth about Zhong Qing's injuries.

"...Mrs. Zhong, has Qingqing ever told you this before?"

Chu Yuqing's beautiful face showed worry and confusion, "I don't know, Qingqing never told me."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu reminded him tactfully: "Qingqing didn't say anything, maybe she has some unspeakable secret. Could it be because the one who hurt her was someone close to her?"

Chu Yuqing didn't know that Shen Mingzhu was suspicious of Yan Yi and was afraid that her husband would be implicated. "Mrs. Pei, thank you very much for telling me this. Qingqing never tells me anything, otherwise she wouldn't have..."

As he spoke, he wiped the crocodile tears from his eyes with a handkerchief.

Shen Mingzhu was deceived by her pretended sadness and didn't know what to say.

For a mother, it is sad enough that her daughter committed suicide. To know that her daughter suffered inhuman abuse and she herself was kept in the dark is undoubtedly like rubbing salt into the wound.

Let’s wait until Zhong Qing wakes up before we talk about anything.

…

Yan Yi left for a while while she was talking privately with Zhong's mother. When he came back, he brought a hearty breakfast in his hands.

"Aunt Qing, Mingzhu, eat something and take a rest."

"No, I have no appetite. You guys eat."

Yan Yilu was surprised by Shen Mingzhu's overly cold tone.

Chu Yuqing's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, her expression showing surprise and understanding.

In addition to being the eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Yi also has a prominent status as the grandson of an important official in the capital. The lowest status of his uncles is at the deputy division level.

It is precisely because of these identities that even though he acts low-key, he is still recognized as a prince-like figure in Fengcheng.

Even she, the future mother-in-law, had to be polite to Yan Yi.

Shen Mingzhu actually dared to give Yan Yi the cold shoulder.

And Yan Yi was not angry at all.

At this point, Chu Yuqing finally believed 100% what her daughter said, that Yan Yi liked Shen Mingzhu.

She couldn't think of any other reason why a man indulged a woman who was not related to him by blood, except love.

"Mrs. Pei must be too worried about Qingqing, so she is in a bad mood. She and Qingqing are best friends, and Qingqing trusts her very much."

Chu Yuqing seemed to be filling in the blanks for Shen Mingzhu, but in fact she was reminding Shen Mingzhu.

You are my daughter's friend, Yan Yi is my daughter's fiancé, you'd better recognize your identity and position.

I don’t know if Yan Yi left quickly because he was mad at her.

Under Chu Yuqing's persuasion, Shen Mingzhu sat down at the coffee table to have breakfast.

The food was rich and delicious, but Shen Mingzhu felt uncomfortable when she thought of what Yan Yi had done to his friend. She ate a fried dumpling and drank two mouthfuls of porridge and didn't want to eat anymore.

The ward was not ventilated, and the smell of disinfectant and breakfast mixed into an indescribable strange odor.

The public restroom is at the end of the corner of the corridor. Probably to dissipate the smell, a row of windows is built on the wall diagonally opposite the restroom.

A familiar tall figure stood in front of a half-open window, a cigarette between his fingers.

Shen Mingzhu paused slightly.

Yan Yi turned his head and saw that she was also surprised, then he put out the cigarette in his hand.

Shen Mingzhu didn't say hello to Yan Yi and went straight into the bathroom, but she could feel his gaze on her.

In order to avoid embarrassment when they met again when going out, Shen Mingzhu deliberately squatted for a while longer.

Unfortunately, the smell of the public toilet is really bad. It is the kind without a toilet door, only a half-person-high partition wall, and a deep channel underneath. The water is only flushed every ten minutes or so.

After squatting with her nose blocked for four or five minutes, Shen Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore.

When she walked out of the bathroom and wanted to go to the window to breathe some fresh air, she found that Yan Yi had not left.

Just take your time to look at her.

She couldn't breathe out her breath.

"Would you like to chat sometime?"

Without waiting for Shen Mingzhu to respond, Yan Yi spoke again, "At least, let me know why you hate me."

For Yan Yi, understanding emotions is his area of ​​expertise.

Shen Mingzhu's inexplicable anger and the disgust in her eyes when she looked at him made him feel puzzled and depressed.

For the first time in his life, he felt depressed from a woman.

“Did I do something wrong?”

The man's expression and tone were sincere, and the look in his eyes revealed innocence and hurt.

It's like a child who has done something wrong but doesn't know where he went wrong.

Shen Mingzhu looked out the window, not meeting the man's gaze, while secretly warning herself in her heart.

Don't be deceived by a man's disguise.

"Doctor Yan, I am very grateful for your help. But I always believe that no matter how high a man's status is, how respected he is, or how great his achievements and honors are, from the moment he lays hands on a woman, he is degraded to dust."

"I despise men like this, that's why I hate you."

Yan Yi is such a smart man. When he thought about Shen Mingzhu's previous behavior towards Zhong Qing, he guessed something instantly.

"Do you think I hurt Zhong Qing?"

"Isn't it? There is hardly a single good spot on her body under her clothes. There are even marks of being pinched on her neck. Even earlier, I saw teeth marks on her chest. Who else would have such injuries except for her closest people?"

"You sentenced me to death without even asking, Shen Mingzhu, what kind of person am I in your heart? A despicable, unbearable, pervert who abuses women?"

Shen Mingzhu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She felt a strong sense of grievance from the man in front of her.

Yan Yi stared at her with his narrow eyes, "You have never understood me. If you are willing to spend a little time to understand me, you will know what kind of person I am."

Shen Mingzhu curled her fingers, her mind was a little confused, and her voice was no longer confident, "If it wasn't you, then who could it be?"

Yan Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He had never felt so aggrieved in his life.

When one's character is questioned, one has to find ways to prove his innocence.

"Come with me."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll take you to see the evidence." Yan Yi looked at her, his voice teasing, "Evidence that can prove my innocence." (End of this chapter)
