The Beautiful Stepmother from the Eighties: Marrying a Factory Director to Raise Kids Chapter 460
Si's Father and Zhang Cuii, whose face was half swollen, both looked rather displeased.
They had originally intended to use money to keep this group of people tight-lipped.
Who knew it would turn out like this? Not only did they fail to keep them quiet, but the n had confessed everything on their own before the police even asked.
However, besides looking awful, Si's Father's expression also held a trace of sothing strange.
Only Zhang Cuii was cursing furiously.
Her husband had found these people; initially, she had rely given them money to get the job done.
Because of her husband's caution, Zhang Cuii hadn't suspected anything, but she never expected the situation to escalate like this.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Si Nian and Zhou Yueshen walk in.
The mont they saw the two enter, the couple was stunned.
"Niannian?" Si's Father stared at Si Nian in astonishnt.
"Didn't you go to Jing City for university?"
He was startled when he noticed Si Nian's belly.
Zhang Cuii's face turned even uglier. She had said that a cowardly and helpless family like the Lins would never dare to sue the Si family.
So it was Si Nian and Zhou Yueshen pulling the strings.
In the past, when these two were here, they had always opposed them.
Whether it was her daughter or herself, they had never won a single ti.
Seeing the two of them return now, how could Zhang Cuii not understand?
With a dark expression, she demanded, "Was it you? Did you make the Lin family send us a lawyer's letter?"
Si Nian couldn't be bothered to pretend with her and said, "Yes, it was ."
Zhang Cuii shot up to her feet. "Well, aren't you sothing! You ungrateful wretch, you heartless thing! It was bad enough that you caused our Sisi to go to jail back then, and now you want to ruin us as a couple."
"As expected, no one in the Lin family is any good. First, they took advantage of Sisi's soft heart to get money from her, and now they turn around and bite us back. Does your Lin family have any conscience left?!"
Zhang Cuii's eyes were red with fury as she cursed.
Si Nian wasn't angry; she said calmly, "Auntie, it seems you really don't understand your own daughter."
"What do you an?"
"Your daughter stole three thousand yuan in bride price from the Lin family, saddling them with massive debt, and she never thought of helping them in the slightest. Why would you think that the current her would be willing to give the Lin family money?"
"Bah! What are you pretending for? Wasn't it you who made Sisi steal those two thousand yuan from her father?"
Captain Li interrupted her, saying, "Comrade Zhang, regarding this sum of money, we have already found out the reason. According to what Comrade Lin Sisi herself explained, she took those two thousand yuan to help a good friend in an ergency. She just happened to encounter Comrade Lin who was in a car accident, so she gave it to them first. It was not demanded by the Lin family."
"Furthermore, the Lin family had soone return this money to you in full the very next day. If they were really using Lin Sisi to swindle money out of you two, why would they return the money at such a critical mont, causing you to misunderstand, and then take a beating? Do you think they are idiots?"
Zhang Cuii choked on her words.
"No, impossible. This must be an act. Sisi gave them three thousand before, so how do you explain that three thousand?"
"My parents only received these two thousand; they never received any three thousand yuan."
Si Nian frowned. So Lin Sisi had also taken three thousand.
No wonder the Si family went crazy, even to the point of getting physical.
This Lin Sisi really spent money like water. She had stolen three thousand yuan in bride price from her family before without changing her expression or feeling any guilt.
Then she turned around and took five thousand yuan from the Si family.
It had only been a little over two years since she ca back, right?
To be honest, Si Nian was starting to not understand what Lin Sisi was trying to do.
"Who knows if they received it or not? Would they admit it if they did?" Zhang Cuii scoffed coldly.
"You even made our Sisi say it was stolen by soone. Maybe this ti, saying she was helping a friend was also nonsense you made her spout. Only your Lin family could co up with such a la excuse."
"Mom, stop talking," Lin Sisi suddenly walked in from outside.
She looked awful, wearing an expression of unspoken suffering.
As if she were holding sothing back.
"Sisi, you ca at the right ti. Tell them, did the Lin family secretly ask you for money?"
Lin Sisi lowered her eyes and said with a complicated expression, "Mom, it was all my own wishful thinking. It has nothing to do with the Lin family. Let's just let this matter go, okay? At worst, at worst I'll go work part-ti in the future and pay all the money back to you."
"No matter what, the Lin family raised for eighteen years. I don't want to fall out with them like this."
As she spoke, she began to sob sadly, as if she had truly suffered a great injury.
Seeing her daughter's pale face and helpless tone, Zhang Cuii flew into a rage, convinced that the Lin family was secretly using the fact that they had raised her for eighteen years to threaten her.
Trembling with anger, she shouted, "Did you hear that? This is how the Lin family threatens my daughter. They take the money and still make her speak up for them. It's too hateful! Exploiting a girl's kindness like this, has their conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Si Nian couldn't be bothered to deal with her. Looking at Lin Sisi, she said, "Lin Sisi, didn't you say this money was for your friend's ergency? How did it suddenly beco for my parents? Do you not know how to speak, or are you confused? Your words aren't adding up. We aren't your mother; crying a couple of tis won't make us feel sorry for you."
"What more do you want? Just how much pain do you have to inflict on our Sisi before you let her go?" Zhang Cuii glared fiercely.
Si Nian said indifferently, "Auntie, when she stole the three thousand yuan, you said the exact sa thing to , and you felt sorry for her just like this. But what was the result? No matter how much she pretends, isn't she still a thief?"
Zhang Cuii's face turned pale and green from the retort.
These words were practically rubbing salt in her wounds.
Lin Sisi's face also twisted slightly.
"Whether she's lying or not, wouldn't we know if we just invite her friend over and ask?"
Si Nian said calmly.
Lin Sisi silently lowered her head, biting her lip. "Yes, I lied. I was just worried that my parents would bla the Lin family, so I lied. I just didn't want my adoptive parents to be dragged down because of ..."
"Sister Niannian, if you want to bla soone, bla . It has nothing to do with my parents; it's all my fault alone."
Lin Sisi stepped forward, acting as if she were willing to bear all the consequences.
Seeing this made Zhang Cuii's heart ache.
She was just about to start cursing again, but rembering Si Nian's words that no matter how much Lin Sisi pretended, she was still a thief, she hesitated.
At this mont, the expression on her daughter's face was exactly the sa as when she was caught back then. In that one second of hesitation, Captain Li spoke up. "Who says there isn't such a person? Our n who were following Comrade Lin Sisi found out that she has been frequently running to a certain place lately, and today she even spoke with a woman."
Lin Sisi's face instantly turned pale.
She... she was being followed?
And she had absolutely no idea?
She rembered how Captain Li had easily let her leave yesterday, thinking it was because the other party had no evidence and thus couldn't say much.
She never expected that they were actually plotting against her.
Lin Sisi looked awful, barely able to conceal the panic in her eyes.
At this mont, she wasn't panicking about the lie.
But about another, much more important matter.
If this blew up, that child...
However, before she could even open her mouth, Captain Li interjected, "We've brought the person here. Let's all hear what Comrade Liu Dongdong has to say, shall we?"
