[This Peng Yi was originally from Country T. He came here to lure Li Ren to Country T, and Li Ren actually believed him! Seriously, how could anyone be so stupid? Is there really such a good deal? He's partnering with you, putting in money and effort, and you really think he's not after anything?!]
Cheating turned into telecommunications fraud?
Let's call the police first.
Before Lin Shengyan a signal, he saw Lin Yuhuan take out his phone, send a text message, and skillfully call the police.
If this continues, the police station should probably award his older brother a Good Citizen Award, right?
The Lin Family and Jiang Yin were in one car, while Peng Yi and Li Ren were in another.
Upon arriving at the villa, Li Ren got out of the car and, with great gentlemanly manners, opened the car door for Peng Yi and shielded her from the roof.
That's incredibly thorough and meticulous.
After Li Ren finished doing all this, he was worried that he would be exposed in front of the Lin Family. But when he turned around, he was met with a series of... pitying and disgusted (?) looks, as if he were some kind of sucker.
Who the real sucker is remains to be seen.
When Li Ren lowered his head, a cold, indifferent smile appeared on his face.
After everyone was seated in the living room, Mama Zhang came over to serve tea. "Madam, dinner will be ready in about half an hour."
Bai Yaxin nodded. "Okay, Mama Zhang, you can go about your business."
Less than half an hour later, the police arrived. Peng Yi remained relatively calm and said, "Wasn't my matter already resolved at the police station? What do you officers mean by coming to see me again now?"
"Your business dispute with the other party is over, but the identity fraud and telecom fraud have only just begun."
Peng Yi clenched her fists. "What are you talking about? I don't know."
Li Ren frowned and said, "Officers, this is my partner. She couldn't possibly be involved with telecom fraud."
Lin Tingyue was also impressed.
[You're not listening to a word about identity fraud?]
[We're waiting for the banquet to begin, the police are waiting to make a contribution, Peng Yi is waiting to be arrested, only Li Ren, he truly has nothing.]
Didn't they get swindled out of everything?
Jiang Yin, unable to contain herself any longer, stepped forward. "If there's a problem, the police will investigate thoroughly and won't wrongly accuse her. Why are you so agitated?"
Li Ren was baffled. " Jiang Yin, what do you mean? Isn't it normal for me to defend my partner?"
"Is this normal? If you were defending her in front of people who are trying to smear her, that would be perfectly reasonable, but now the people on the other side are the police. What are you defending?"
" Jiang Yin, stop being unreasonable. Are you going to say next that I'm with Peng Yi?"
Jiang Yin laughed angrily, "You've already said everything, what am I supposed to say?"
"Yes, I'm with Peng Yi now. You always jump to conclusions over the slightest thing; what man could stand you?"
"You..."
Before she could even start cursing, Li Ren couldn't hold back any longer.
"Stop, none of that matters, because I truly love you. Even though you come from a privileged background and have many flaws, the problem is you can't have children. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Jiang Yin: "?"
"Who can't have children? And since you love me, why do you care so much about children?"
"It is precisely because I love you that I desire a child!"
[What kind of twisted logic is this?]
Some people choose to be childless for love, while others cheat on their partners for love!
Jiang Yin pointed at Peng Yi and said, "So, you're saying Peng Yi is willing to give you a child?"
"To be honest, Peng Yi is pregnant. I originally planned to send her back before telling you, but since it's already like this, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later."
[Ah, I found it! It turns out that Auntie called Jiang Yin to talk about her cousin's family, Li Ren overheard. He mistakenly thought that Jiang Yin was infertile, so he eavesdropped...]
[And he even mishears "impotence," indicating poor hearing; his greatest weakness is infidelity.]
[Also, Peng Yi is infertile because she is...]
Who is she?!
Just as the Lin Family was about to listen further, they were interrupted by the police.
The police officer coughed lightly and said sternly, "Stop making excuses. We've been watching your fraud ring for a while now."
After the police finished speaking, they were about to take Peng Yi away without further explanation.
" A Ren."
Peng Yi's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked truly pitiful, but Lin Tingyue couldn't feel any pity for her at all, because—
Li Ren shouted, "She's pregnant! You can't treat a pregnant woman like this!"
The last policeman stopped, looked at his superior as if seeking instructions, and only after receiving confirmation did he say, "Your partner is transgender. Transgender people cannot get pregnant."
"Transgender person?"
Li Ren stumbled and fell face-first to the ground, roaring, "Impossible! Impossible!"
After the police left, Bai Yaxin invited Jiang Yin to stay for dinner, but Jiang Yin politely declined and left as well.
She walked past Li Ren with an indifferent expression, but Li Ren suddenly grabbed her trouser leg. " Yinyin, believe me, I've been deceived. I'm in so much pain right now. I can't live without you, Yinyin."
Jiang Yin kicked Li Ren, hitting Li Ren in the center. As Li Ren howled in pain, Jiang Yin said coldly, "I didn't know if you were in pain before, but I know now."
[So cool!]
Mama Zhang spoke up at the opportune moment, "Madam, dinner is ready."
Bai Yaxin glanced at the onlookers and said, "Let's go eat first. Mama Zhang, have someone throw the trash out of the courtyard."
"Yes, madam."
A few days later, Lin Xiawan returned from abroad and happened to attend a banquet with Lin Tingyue.
On the way there, Lin Tingyue kept asking Lin Xiawan what had happened in the past few days.
" Sister Xiawan, actually we've watched all of your live streams."
The time difference abroad is different from that in China. When Lin Xiawan thought about how several people couldn't help but doze off, but still stayed in front of the TV, waiting for their official account's live broadcast to start, her heart softened.
Lin Xiawan patted Lin Tingyue's head and said, "Didn't you already know? Why are you still asking?"
"On TV, it's always the good side. I want to know everything about Sister Xiawan, including the difficulties Sister Xiawan's encountered."
Lin Xiawan paused, and Lin Tingyue hugged Lin Xiawan, nuzzling Lin Xiawan neck. She patted Lin Xiawan's head and said, "But I know that no matter what difficulties there are, Sister Xiawan will solve them, right?"
Lin Xiawan blinked, a fleeting glint of tears in her eyes, and said, "Yes."
Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Xiawan earnestly and said, " Sister Xiawan, you've worked hard."
Lin Xiawan pinched Lin Tingyue's cheek and said, "Thank you, Tingyue."
The female protagonist in the original book, Lin Xiawan, is like a flower blooming amidst hardship. Despite being bullied by her adoptive parents, targeted by a fake heiress, and ridiculed by all sorts of people, she still strives to develop what she loves and eventually receives the rewards she deserves.
She's actually a very good person.
While Lin Tingyue was reading, she wanted to say to her, "You've worked hard."
It has finally come true.
We've arrived at the villa where the banquet will be held.
Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan had just gotten out of the car when a woman walked past them.
The woman rushed into the arms of a bejeweled lady by the door and said sweetly, "Mommy, I missed you so much."
"Alright, alright, you're married now, why are you still acting so childish? Go and say hello to your father."
"Good."
Lin Tingyue stopped.
Looking at this seemingly happy family of three, her CPU was about to overheat.
How can there be such complicated relationships in this world?
[A father isn't just a father, he can also be a grandfather!]
ah?
Chapter 55
Guo Yuan clenched her fists. Although she didn't know where the voice came from, she instinctively looked towards her husband, who was chatting and laughing with their daughter.
Zhai Minghui was completely unaware and continued talking to Zhai Yan.
[ Zhai Minghui was originally Guo Yuan's stepmother's lover. After the stepmother married into the Guo family, she introduced her lover to Guo Yuan. Unexpectedly, Guo Yuan and Zhai Minghui really fell in love and got married. They have been married for over twenty years now. However, what Guo Yuan doesn't know is that her stepmother and husband are still having an affair.]
The onlookers gasped in shock. Mother-in-law and son-in-law? How could such a lewd act exist in this world!
Upon hearing this, Guo Yuan pursed her lips, her face turning slightly pale.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhai Yan asked worriedly, taking Guo Yuan's arm. "Mom, you look terrible."
[That beast! He even planned to harm his daughter the day before her wedding. Luckily, Guo Yuan returned in time, and Zhai Yan has been traumatized ever since!]
Guo Yuan was taken aback.
Before her wedding, Zhai Yan was indeed terrified. She always thought it was done by a relative, and she spent those days without sleep, determined to find that person.
But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find a single clue, and she even fell seriously ill because of it.
Zhai Yan rushed back to see her, crying as she said it was okay, she had let it go, as long as her mother was alright.
Guo Yuan it at the time.
Now that she thinks about it, how could she possibly let it go so easily? She will definitely not be soft-hearted again today.
Guo Yuan said, "Mom is fine. Maybe she's just a little dizzy from standing for so long."
"Let's go inside quickly, I'll take Mom to rest."
Zhai Yan told Zhai Minghui about Guo Yuan's dizziness. Worried about his wife, Zhai Minghui quickly stepped forward and, along with his daughter, supported his wife on either side. The three of them then walked inside together.
With the main characters gone, the onlookers naturally dispersed as well, and Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan walked in hand in hand.
