The Beautiful Stepmother from the Eighties: Marrying a Factory Director to Raise Kids Chapter 391

Although so unpleasant things had happened before, Si Nian had never really bothered to argue with her. Even when Fang Hui couldn't bring herself to apologize, Si Nian didn't say anything.

But this ti, she had truly gone too far.

How could Si Nian possibly continue to tolerate it?

"Sis—ahem, Comrade Si Nian, these are the people who fabricated that article. What do you plan to do? Settle it privately or..."

Si Nian withdrew her gaze. "Settle it privately?"

She sneered. "How is that possible? They've completely ruined my reputation. If I stay silent and settle it privately, everyone will believe I'm really that kind of person."

Captain Li nodded in agreent. "That makes sense. So, what's your plan?"

"Of course, I'm going to take their newspaper to court, demand a public apology and compensation, and send the culprit who maliciously slandered and caused severe consequences to prison for proper reform. Let society teach her how to behave!"

As soon as these words ca out, the faces of the newspaper staff turned pale.

If this matter was indeed false, then their spreading of rumors would be undeniable proof.

But they never expected it to escalate to the court, to such an exaggerated extent.

The editor-in-chief imdiately beca anxious. "Th-this, Comrade Si, is it? We also got this information from an interview. It has nothing to do with us!"

Si Nian looked at him. He was a middle-aged man, currently staring at her with a look of terror. Si Nian glanced at Fang Hui, whose face was pale, and said coldly, "An interview? So your interviews consist of indiscriminately saring soone in the newspaper, spreading rumors, and selling them in large quantities? You used my reputation as the provincial science top scorer to make a fortune, which constitutes the illegal use of another person's na for profit. This is already a cri, and you're telling it has nothing to do with you?"

"I don't care what others told you, but the ones who illegally profited from this are you, and none of you can escape."

"Before harming others, at least go learn so law first, right, Miss Fang?"

Captain Li was surprised. "You two know each other?"

Si Nian said, "This Miss Fang lives right next door to my house. We had so friction before. She ca to make trouble for my family because of the swine fever incident, only to find out she was in the wrong. She still hasn't apologized."

"I didn't bother to argue with her, but I didn't expect her to co knocking on my door again. It's truly a narrow path for enemies."

Fang Hui's face turned green and white at her words. "Y-you don't be too aggressive, Si Nian. Yes, last ti was a misunderstanding, but this ti, I didn't do it on purpose either. These interview contents are absolutely true, no rumors at all. If you are really as open and honest as you say, why would your relatives say such things about you?"

Si Nian stroked her chin. "My relatives? Which relatives? If you don't say, how do I know if you're just making things up?"

Fang Hui snorted coldly. "Nonsense, of course it's from the family compound, the relatives of the Si family. Do you dare say you're not the adopted daughter of the Si family? The people on your mother's side told all about your past. You were cultivated by the Si family with a lot of money since you were young, but now that you're successful, you cast your adoptive parents aside, not even inviting them to your celebration party. Isn't such ungrateful behavior too much? Am I wrong?"

"You even deliberately held the celebration party in the sa restaurant as the biological daughter of the Si family, intentionally suppressing her, mocking her, and driving her to faint."

"But you forgot that your achievents today originally belonged to her!"

Fang Hui accused angrily. She had always felt that Si Nian was a very domineering person, but she didn't expect her to treat her family like this too. It was simply too much, too disgusting.

After hearing this, Si Nian couldn't help but look at Fang Hui in astonishnt. "I made Lin Sisi faint from anger?"

Fang Hui sneered. "Of course, your behavior is so shaful!"

Si Nian: "Such a good thing actually happened!"

Everyone: "......"

"Captain Li, did you hear that? She admitted it herself. Doesn't this prove that our newspaper didn't write nonsense?"

If Captain Li didn't know what had happened before, he would have thought Si Nian was going too far right now.

Seeing her heartless attitude, he couldn't help but cough, using his fist to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said sternly, "What does Lin Sisi fainting from anger have to do with her? It's just that she's not as skilled. Her own tolerance is too poor, why bla others? It's really inappropriate for you to exaggerate this and bla it on Sis—Comrade Si."

Fang Hui: "? But she obviously deliberately provoked Lin Sisi, causing the accident. How can we not bla her?"

"The Si family raised her for so many years, pouring their hearts and blood into cultivating her. Not only did she not repay their kindness, but she also did such a thing. This is extrely malicious behavior!"

Si Nian shook her head speechlessly. "You an, because I beca the provincial science top scorer, I have to hide it quietly and not let Lin Sisi see it, right? And if she sees it and faints from anger, it ans I deliberately showed off and provoked her? Miss Fang is truly worthy of being a paparazzi, you really know how to make things up."

Fang Hui gritted her teeth in anger. "You!"

She actually called her a sneaky paparazzi. This was simply an insult to her.

Captain Li nodded in agreent. "Exactly, this is a great and joyous event. What does it have to do with anyone else if she fainted from being provoked? Who can she bla if she didn't do well on the exam? Your newspaper is also strange, blaming soone else for doing too well?"

Fang Hui hurriedly said, "Of course, there's more than that. Her relatives know what she did before."

Si Nian said, "Sorry, Miss Fang, I cut ties with the Si family a long ti ago. As for the reason, it's very simple. The Si family personally sent to the countryside to get married for the sake of their biological daughter."

She paused for two seconds and continued, "And this marriage arrangent was originally agreed to by Lin Sisi herself. But after she found out she was the biological daughter of the Si family, she regretted it, stole the man's bride price, and together with the Si family forced to marry into the Zhou family. That's why I beca a stepmother at such a young age, not because of the disgusting reason you ntioned, that I was willing to be a stepmother for profit. The people in the family compound also know about this, and this is the reason why we cut ties."

"As for the relative you ntioned, she should also know about this. What, didn't she tell you these key points? She only focused on speaking ill of ? Let guess, this person is either from the Si family or a relative from the Zhang family, right? Could it be my adoptive mother's sister, Zhang Xiaoyun? She's disliked for a long ti, after all, her daughter can't compare to , and Lin Sisi was also overshadowed by . She's always been unable to hold her head high in front of ..."

Fang Hui's face was full of shock.

Looking at her expression, Si Nian knew she guessed right.

It really was Zhang Xiaoyun.

Captain Li snorted coldly. "I was the one who handled the case of Lin Sisi stealing the three thousand yuan bride price. She was sent to prison for a year because of it. I thought she would improve, but I didn't expect a dog can't change its habit of eating shit."

"Miss Fang, as a police officer, I am much clearer on these matters than you are. The entire family compound knows how the Si family, terrified that Comrade Si would refuse to leave and cause their biological daughter to suffer, forced her to marry down into a rural village. Hah, now that they see she has beco the top scorer in the university entrance exams, they regret it and have resorted to saring her na. And you people, without bothering to get the facts straight and without a shred of evidence, published these claims in the daily newspaper and sold them to the masses. Comrade Si is absolutely right. Your actions already constitute a cri, and we have the full authority to arrest you and bring you to justice."
