"Is it all taken care of?"
He Liuzhang asked.
Yue Yihan nodded and went with He Liuzhang to the He Family’s ho for a visit.
Chen Weisheng, who had been keeping a close eye on Yue Yihan’s movents, saw him go to the He Family’s ho with He Liuzhang. His expression imdiately turned sinister.
’That damn woman. Can’t help with anything, only knows how to drag down!’
With that thought, Chen Weisheng didn’t dare delay. He quickly grabbed his clothes, locked the door, and went to find his troublemaking wife.
By the ti he was heading to Anong County, Xie Changning was already ho.
Xie Changyu had wanted to go ho with Xie Changning, but Xie Changning refused and called the police directly.
"Xie Changning, you’ll die a horrible death!" Xie Changyu cursed at Xie Changning nonstop before the police arrived.
Xie Changning remained unmoved.
Finally, she roared, "Your two kids will be abused to death sooner or later, and when that happens—"
"SLAP!"
A resounding slap landed on Xie Changyu’s face. Imdiately after, Xie Changning reached out and grabbed her by the throat. "Say that again. I dare you to say that again!"
Xie Changning’s voice wasn’t loud at all, but to Xie Changyu’s ears, it sounded no different from a death sentence.
Xie Changyu clawed at Xie Changning’s hand, trying to make her let go of her neck.
But she was no match for Xie Changning’s strength.
As a powerful feeling of suffocation washed over her, Xie Changyu finally felt a pang of regret. Why did she have to co looking for Xie Changning? Why did she have to run her mouth and curse her?
She was scared, not because she felt she had done anything wrong.
"Xie Changyu, tell ... what should I do with you?" Xie Changning watched her with a blank expression, seemingly contemplating how to make her situation even more miserable.
Now, Xie Changyu finally knew fear.
Her body trembling, she apologized to Xie Changning. "Changning, I... I didn’t an it. Let go. I won’t curse you or the children anymore."
Xie Changning tilted her head, looking at Xie Changyu.
’Co to think of it, I think she works at the Chuncheng Clothing Factory.’
"I’ll be speaking with your supervisor." Xie Changning was no pushover; she wouldn’t just take a beating without fighting back.
When the police arrived, Xie Changning had already shoved Xie Changyu to the ground.
The arrival of the police seed to give Xie Changyu a surge of confidence. She pointed an accusing finger at Xie Changning and shouted, "She tried to kill !"
"Officers, she is my older cousin. Just now, she told that her husband is abusive and is also cheating on her. As a mber of a military family, I am deeply heartbroken. I hope you will investigate this thoroughly!"
Regardless, as the one who had filed the report, Xie Changning had to go with the police.
She put on a look of utter grief. "My cousin used to be such a bright and vivacious person. Look what her husband has worn her down into!"
The police had a good impression of Xie Changning. Plus, since they hadn’t seen her get physical, they were predisposed to believe her side of the story.
They prepared to call Chen Weisheng in for questioning.
And so, the mont Chen Weisheng arrived in Anong County, he was taken to the police station.
The mont Chen Weisheng stepped into the station, a figure rushed toward him. Before he could even understand what was happening, soone grabbed him by the collar and demanded, "Our family entrusted you with our wonderful cousin, and this is how you treat her?!"
"Ms. Xie, we will get to the bottom of this. Please calm down."
An officer placated Xie Changning.
Xie Changyu finally snapped back to her senses and shrieked, "I didn’t say that! I didn’t say that! It’s all lies from Xie Changning!"
Her terrified expression made the police realize sothing was off.
They turned to Chen Weisheng. "Mr. Chen, there’s a matter we need you to cooperate with an investigation on."
The police led Chen Weisheng into a side room to question him.
Xie Changning sat down next to Xie Changyu, tilted her head, and looked at her. "I know he didn’t do anything to you. But you’re the one who told he did," Xie Changning said with a smile.
It was a smile that terrified Xie Changyu.
Before she had gone to find Xie Changning, Chen Weisheng had told her to describe her situation as miserably as possible.
The goal was to stir up Xie Changning’s pity.
Who would have thought that not only would Xie Changning feel no pity, but she would also kick her while she was down, acting as if she deserved it!
She even called the police and got her husband dragged in!
’Is she crazy?!’
"Xie Changning, you’re so cruel..." Xie Changyu stared daggers at her. Hadn’t she just cursed at her a few tis?
Why did she have to do this?!
What good does this do her?!
Xie Changyu’s eyes were red as she glared at Xie Changning.
Xie Changning actually envied people like this. They never suffered from internal strife; any fault always belonged to soone else, never them.
No self-reflection, no internal conflict.
"If you hadn’t provoked , we wouldn’t be here today." Xie Changning smiled faintly, completely unaffected.
Before long, Chen Weisheng erged from the interrogation room with a dark expression. Suppressing his anger, he said to Xie Changyu, "Let’s go, wife. We’re going ho."
The more he acted this way, the more violently Xie Changyu trembled.
Her lips quivered as she looked at Chen Weisheng. "Can... can I stay at my cousin’s place for a couple of days?"
"How could we possibly trouble your cousin like that?" Chen Weisheng smiled faintly, his eyes dark and deep as he stared at Xie Changyu.
It was as if he was warning her that if she dared to do so, he would make sure she never had the chance to go ho at all.
Seeing this, Xie Changyu could only tremble and look to Xie Changning for help.
But Xie Changning was focused on Chen Weisheng. She pointed a finger in his face and said angrily, "I’m telling you, if you dare lay a hand on her again, don’t bla for what happens next!"
Xie Changning’s words brought a grim shadow over Chen Weisheng’s face.
He shot an annoyed glance at Xie Changyu. "You’ve misunderstood, little sister. I didn’t do anything. It’s your sister who’s having a spat with ."
"Oh, so that’s how it is. In that case, you two should hurry on ho."
Chen Weisheng gave a small laugh and dragged Xie Changyu away.
He walked quickly, and Xie Changyu stumbled along as he pulled her, but he showed no intention of slowing down for her.
An officer followed them to the door and noticed this.
"What’s with him? Didn’t he say he and his wife get along great?" It certainly didn’t look that way.
Xie Changning said to the officer, "Anyone would be upset if they were slandered like that, wouldn’t they?"
The officer thought what Xie Changning said made sense.
So he didn’t pay it any more mind.
Xie Changning stood at the entrance, watching the two of them until they were far in the distance before she turned and headed ho.
"Changning, are you all right?"
When Xie Changning returned, her house was already full of people who had co over after hearing Xie Changyu’s racket.
Seeing her return, everyone carefully checked her over to see if she was hurt.
Harming a mber of a military family was no small matter!
"I’m fine. Her husband took her away." Xie Changning shook her head and said with a smile, "Don’t worry. I’m not the type to take a loss. If I were hurt, the other person would definitely be in worse shape."
"That’s good, that’s good."
Seeing that Xie Changning was okay, the crowd dispersed.
Aunt Xu stayed behind to help watch the children for a bit while Aunt Wang went to warm up so food for Xie Changning.
"You haven’t even had dinner. That damn nuisance, what was she thinking, coming here to cause trouble for no reason?"
