Chapter 3: Wouldn’t it be better to check the surveillance?
Hearing Bai Yueguang so considerately say that she was fine, Yu Mingze became unhappy before Fu Yining even opened his mouth.
"An Ran, don't worry, even if she doesn't admit it, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Mingze, I didn't do that!"
"That's enough, Song Qingyu, I won't believe you, and don't call me that in the future!"
"Mingze——"
Zheng Anran was secretly delighted, but still shook her head and refused: "No, Mingze, I'm fine, let's just pretend that this never happened."
Yu Mingze felt so distressed when he heard her say this: "She hurt you like that, how can you just pretend it never happened! I'm just--"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Fu Yining interrupted his adopted son and pointed to the flashing surveillance camera on the wall that could capture 360° images without any blind spots.
"Why are you going through so much trouble? If you want to know whether this is true or not, can't you just check the surveillance?"
Zheng Anran: “!”
Song Qingyu/Yu Mingze: Yes!
Why didn't they think of surveillance?
When Fu Yining mentioned the surveillance, the three people in front of her had different thoughts.
Yu Mingze: Humph, once we check the surveillance, we can prove Song Qingyu’s guilt and An Ran’s innocence!
Song Qingyu: That’s great. Once the surveillance footage is checked, my innocence can be proven!
Zheng Anran: It’s over. Once they check the surveillance footage, they will see my crimes!
Fu Yining was waving his hand to call the housekeeper over to check the surveillance, and called a maid who was bowing her head nearby to help Song Qingyu up.
Well, the heroine should be pregnant at this time, but she doesn’t know it yet. The ground is cold, so don’t hurt the poor baby.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Zheng Anran bit her lip and gently pulled Yu Mingze beside her.
Was Aunt Fu too nice to Song Qingyu today? Which side was she on?
Yu Mingze sensed the nervousness of the people around him and thought she was afraid of seeing herself being murdered, so he patted her hand soothingly: "An Ran, don't be afraid, I'm with you."
What are you afraid of? That's not what she meant at all!
Zheng Anran almost rolled his eyes without caring about his image.
The idea of framing Song Qingyu just now was a spur of the moment one of her actions, so her method was actually very crude. Maybe the surveillance cameras just happened to capture how she framed Song Qingyu.
How is this possible?
So Zheng Anran pulled Yu Mingze's sleeve again, she was afraid that her perfect image would be exposed by surveillance.
But Yu Mingze frowned in confusion: "An Ran, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Anran said to Fu Yining and Yu Mingze with a weak face, "Aunt Fu, Mingze, I think it's better to forget it. I don't want your family to be in a dilemma because of me."
"Since I'm fine, why don't you just stop pursuing this?"
"An Ran, you are so kind, but it's a pity that she doesn't deserve some people at all!" Yu Mingze's eyes were filled with heartache.
Being told that she was "unworthy", Song Qingyu pulled up a wry smile and fixed her gaze on Fu Yining with sparkling eyes, as if she regarded her as her savior.
Because now in the whole family, only Fu Yining still "trusts" her and is willing to give her a chance to prove herself.
At least from what happened just now, it seemed that she was willing to speak up for her.
Zheng Anran watched as the housekeeper walked up to Fu Yining and grasped Yu Mingze's sleeve tightly in her hand. Yu Mingze lowered his head to look at her.
"safely?"
Zheng Anran's eyes were filled with tears and she shook her head: "Mingze, I, I'm afraid to think about what happened just now. Can we not watch it?"
"Don't be afraid."
Choose between the truth in the surveillance and his sweetheart, Yu Mingze naturally chooses the latter.
Anyway, he has already determined that it was Song Qingyu who hurt people, so it doesn't matter whether there is surveillance or not.
So Yu Mingze said to Fu Yining: "Mom, forget about the surveillance. An Ran will be scared."
"Anyway, even if there's no surveillance, I know that this matter has something to do with Song Qingyu!" Yu Mingze glanced angrily at Song Qingyu who was being helped up.
Song Qingyu, who was inexplicably accused, felt very upset. She looked at Fu Yining pleadingly, wanting a chance to prove her innocence.
After Fu Yining heard what the housekeeper whispered to her, she turned around and asked them, "Are you sure you don't want to watch the surveillance?"
Yu Mingze first comforted Zheng Anran who was frightened beside him, and then said to Fu Yining: "Mom, don't watch it anymore. If you want to watch something like that, let Song Qingyu watch it by herself!"
"Mingze, you are so nice, thank you for believing in me."
Zheng Anran felt relieved and deeply moved.
"All right."
Fu Yining deliberately ignored Song Qingyu's pleading eyes and asked her adopted son Yu Mingze, "So you mean you completely believe what Zheng Anran said?"
Zheng Anran frowned.
Why did Aunt Fu address her in such a distant way?
Yu Mingze nodded; "Mom, isn't this natural? You know An Ran's personality, she won't lie. As for Song Qingyu——"
Without him saying much, Fu Yining understood that Song Qingyu's familiarity and trust in their family and other people was too low.
On the one hand, it was because Song Qingyu had just married into the Yu family for a few months, and she did not have the childhood sweetheart friendship with Yu Mingze like Zheng Anran did.
On the other hand, Fu Yining kept saying bad things about Song Qingyu in Yu Mingze's ear every day to sow discord between them.
So it’s no wonder that Yu Mingze dislikes and doesn’t believe Song Qingyu. It’s all Fu Yining’s own fault.
Hearing Yu Mingze ask her again how to deal with this matter, Fu Yining just felt a headache.
What to do?
Are we going to follow the original plot and frame the innocent heroine?
Fu Yining asked herself if she could do it, especially since she didn't want to become a "troublemaker".
Didn’t that stupid author say that whoever is capable will be in charge?
Well, now she'll do it for the stupid author to see!
So Fu Yining cleared his throat and said word by word in front of everyone: "Since such a terrible thing has happened in our family, it would be unreasonable for me not to deal with it."
Zheng Anran was a little nervous but more happy, waiting for Fu Yining to make a decision.
But when Song Qingyu heard Fu Yining start with the same familiar words as before, the hope that had been ignited in her heart was gone.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law is still the same mother-in-law. She should be kicked out of the house, right?
Fu Yining paused and asked the male protagonist: "Mingze, do you choose to believe your wife or someone else?"
"!!!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Fu Yining in surprise, including her butler Wang Yue.
What? Did they hear it wrong? Madam actually acknowledged the identity of the young lady?
Is this a sign that red rain is about to fall?
Song Qingyu was supported by someone, tears of excitement in her eyes.
But Zheng Anran's smile became stiff and he pulled Yu Mingze beside him.
Yu Mingze frowned, not quite satisfied with what Fu Yining said: "Mom, An Ran is not an outsider."
Oh, if she is not an outsider, then could she be an insider?
Fu Yining reminded him: "Son, don't forget that you are married. You should keep your distance from other women."
At this moment, the two people who she said should keep a distance were hugging each other in front of everyone, and their behavior was extremely disgusting.
Yu Mingze realized it belatedly and let go of his hand.
"Aunt Fu, I--" Zheng Anran's cheeks turned red, and the words she was about to say were suddenly stuck in her throat.
What did she see? She actually saw the alienation and indifference in Fu Yining's eyes, instead of the doting and loving look she had in the past?
How come Aunt Fu seems like a different person?
It shouldn't be like this!
