Hmm... it's hard to judge. How about you make a date with the prison cell?
Fu Qiao burst out laughing. Sister Lian looked at her in confusion, and Fu Qiao patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the police will be here soon."
The police arrived quickly. After understanding the situation, they decided to take Sister Lian and Shi Feizhou back to the police station, and Fu Qiao went with them.
Song Hezhu looked around and, seeing everyone's shining eyes, said, "Shall we go take a look too?"
"Good."
"You don't want barbecue anymore?"
You can eat barbecue anytime.
"Yeah, boss, one more meal won't make a difference."
Song Hezhu smiled and laughed. With a wave of her hand, everyone got into the car. There were two cars in total, following the police car, and they went to the police station.
This was Sister Lian's first time in a big city and her first time in a police station. She was extremely flustered. The policewoman patiently comforted her for a long time and poured her some hot water before she finally calmed down and slowly recounted everything that had happened in the village over the years.
The policewoman erupted in anger as soon as she stepped outside, "This is outrageous! What kind of child bride is this? It sounds nice, but isn't this just giving them a free nanny? She's been beaten so badly, there's not a single good spot on her body. How could they do this to such a small child?"
The male police officer who had been questioning her earlier also looked grave. "Notify Pan Zhu and Shi Qing to come over first, and also check on her biological parents."
"Um."
The policewoman returned to the room and found that Sister Lian was hungry, so she decided to take her to the cafeteria for a meal. The cafeteria was on the right side of the police station. As soon as they exited the police station, Fu Qiao was the first to approach them. She asked, "Officer, how did it go?"
Policewoman Meng Xuan recognized her as the person who reported the incident. She said, "We're still investigating. Sister Lian is hungry, I'll take her to eat."
At this point, Meng Xuan softly asked Sister Lian, "Do you have any other names?"
Sister Lian shook her head.
[The parents who sold her didn't think about giving her a name, nor did Pan Zhu and Shi Qing, who bought her. It was only one day that they suddenly realized they needed to give this maidservant, whom they served, a name, otherwise she'd be treated like a dog, and they wouldn't even know how to address her. Their eyes lit up, and seeing the lotus flowers in the pond in front of the house, they called Sister Lian Sister Lian.]
[Sobbing, the lotus rises from the mud unsullied, Sister Lian will have a better life too!]
"Yes," Meng Xuan said tenderly, stroking Sister Lian's hair. "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate thoroughly."
Sister Lian asked, "Can I still go back?"
[Oh my god, don't go back! That village still sells baby girls, and many people buy them from other villages to be their child brides. Some even steal children from hospitals.]
Meng Xuan's eyes sharpened. She made a phone call before accompanying Sister Lian to the cafeteria for lunch.
The matter concerning Sister Lian didn't have a resolution until a week later.
Lin Tingyue saw it on TV; the news report said that the police had recently raided a village that was involved in human trafficking, and all the villagers had been rescued.
However, because these people have lived in the village since childhood, have never attended school, have low levels of education, are severely disconnected from society, and some even lack a sound personality, the police plan to send them to a rescue school.
The school will provide education and room and board until they are able to support themselves.
The news article ends with the contact information for the school that received the donation; kind-hearted people can contact the school to donate directly.
The money-grubbing Lin Tingyue took out almost a third of her savings.
Bai Yaxin teased, "Are you really that willing to Tingyue?"
Lin Tingyue said earnestly, "When it's time to let go, you have to be willing to let go."
Lin Tingyue really loves money. When she was just an ordinary office worker, she was obsessed with getting rich quick. Once she got rich, she fired her boss and went traveling everywhere.
Beyond money, she also hopes to make the world a better place.
[With everyone patching things up, the world will definitely get better and better!]
Bai Yaxin touched Lin Tingyue's face. Apart from Lin Tingyue, they had all donated quite a bit.
The day Sister Lian went to the rescue school was a clear, sunny day with no clouds. The autumn sun was no longer glaring; instead, it felt warm on Sister Lian.
The school gates slowly opened, Sister Lian suddenly saw a pond of lotus flowers on the outer wall of the school.
The people who came out to pick up Sister Lian saw that Sister Lian kept staring at those...
Lianhua looked and explained, "These were all drawn by the students at the school. Now that it's autumn, we plan to change them to ginkgo leaves. You're welcome to draw with us then."
Sister Lian seemed a little flustered. She said, "What if I don't know how to draw?"
"How do you know you can't draw if you've never tried?" The person in charge held Sister Lian's hand; her hand was as warm as the sunshine. The person in charge continued, "The school will be a new world for you. Welcome to start a brand new life for you."
Things have changed.
The curses that had been swirling in Sister Lian's ears were transformed into this one sentence from the person in charge.
Sunlight shines on the lotus, making the petals shimmer with dazzling light. May Sister Lian be reborn.
Lin Tingyue is going to attend her high school reunion this weekend.
Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue were in the same class in high school. Fan Qing originally didn't plan to go, but when she heard that Lin Tingyue was going, she also decided to go.
The news that Lin Tingyue was a fake heiress had spread far and wide. She didn't need to think to know that someone involved had ill intentions.
She must protect Lin Tingyue well.
Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing pushed open the door to the private room, and the people inside, who had been chatting enthusiastically, all stopped and looked at them.
The nemesis from her memory was the first to attack Lin Tingyue: " Lin Tingyue, I thought you weren't coming? It must feel bad for the fake heiress to be mixed in with the real heiress, right?"
Fan Qing rolled her eyes. "After all these years, how come you still can't learn to speak properly?"
Cao Namei's smile froze. Taking advantage of Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue sitting down, she added, "Oh dear, how can I compare to you? Fan Qing, are you going back to the Feng Family?"
"I'm happy to be with my mom, it's none of your business."
"You..."
[ Qingqing really can't compare to Haha. There may only be a dozen or so people here, but they can still form dozens of couples!]
Seize the young master???
Chapter 75
Fan Qing's pupils dilated in shock, and if she remembered correctly, some of these people were supposed to be couples, right?
Where did that sound come from?
Before Cao Namei could figure it out, the sound started again, crackling like beads being poured down.
[Take Yin Xiang, who's sitting next to the door, for example. His girlfriend is sitting to his left, and his ex-wife is sitting to his right.]
[He can appease his girlfriend and comfort his ex-wife simultaneously, which also shows his gentlemanly side.]
Ex-wife?
Zhong Xia was about to explode. She and Yin Xiang had reunited through a blind date. Back in school, Zhong Xia had a crush on Yin Xiang.
The matchmaker sang Yin Xiang's praises to the skies, and given that Yin Xiang was indeed doing quite well and had a bright future, Zhong Xia Yin Xiang to be with him.
Yin Xiang hadn't told her that he had been married before. What's worse, Zhong Xia's hand was caressing the ring on her finger. Just last week, she had accepted Yin Xiang's marriage proposal.
Calm down, calm down, what if it's fake?
[ Yin Xiang visits his ex-wife's child every month and also pays child support. Poor girlfriend, she's been completely unaware.]
There are children too?
Zhong Xia really didn't pass.
She clenched her fists. Thankfully, it was a proposal, not a marriage proposal, so she still had room to back out. But Zhong Xia just couldn't swallow her anger!
[Look, this one's even scarier. He's clearly gay, but because his parents keep pressuring him to get married, he's thinking of finding a wife, having kids, and then divorcing her. Tsk tsk tsk, he was just flirting with that male waiter.]
What is it?
Guan Ming couldn't believe it; she had become a wife of a gay man?
As far as I can remember, when the waiter came over to take our order, Fang Shi did glance at him a few times. Guan Ming even asked Fang Shi Guan Ming Fang Shi, and Fang Shi said the waiter's brooch was quite unique.
So it was just an excuse he made up?
[This guy... looks so refined, but he's actually a domestic abuser!]
[Um... don't let her ordinary appearance fool you, she has a boyfriend in every city.]
Lin Tingyue were like a Khan's grand military review, with countless people sweating profusely as a long-buried secret was unearthed.
Cao Namei felt a surge of relief. Although she didn't know what the voice was about, thankfully, it didn't mention her or her husband at all.
Cao Namei breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed her husband's hand, held her head high, and felt that her husband was very virtuous, neither philandering nor having affairs.
Seeing Cao Namei doing this, Lin Tingyue couldn't help but shake her head. [Even at a time like this, Zhang Yi is still rubbing against Bai Yueguang's legs under the table.]
[I really don't understand these people who cheat on their wives. Do they find it exciting?]
So it turns out there was something to talk about... it just wasn't the right time!
Cao Namei was so angry she was practically breathing fire.
She looked down abruptly, only to find Zhang Yi entangled with Bai Yueguang, unable to pull his leg back in time. Cao Namei caught them in the act.
Cao Namei felt her eyes were dirty, let out a dry cry, and then screamed, "Aaaaaah, you two scoundrels!"
She stood up and slapped Zhang Yi hard across the face.
Hearing the commotion in the private room, the waiter, fearing something was wrong, pushed the door open and came in. Guan Ming, also exploded, and the private room descended into chaos.
There were many people hitting and cursing at the same time, and in the end they even started smashing things in the private room. The boss just felt that he was having such bad luck today. Not only did he run into a bunch of lunatics, but he also ran into a whole group of them.
Fearing even greater losses, the boss immediately called the police.
Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing took advantage of the chaos to escape.
