Chapter 1403: I Only Want You (101)
The owner of the small telecommunication store could barely rember anything since it happened so long ago. Hence, they could only find out more by viewing the surveillance cara footages that had been captured back then.
At this mont, Li Wanru called Qiao An, who had been refusing to answer her calls.
Qiao An made Li Wanru spill everything she knew before allowing her to enter the Su family ho.
Qiao An was extrely indifferent toward her mother and felt nothing for her except disdain.
“Didn’t you say that you knew so stuff. What do you know?”
“I know you’re the one who killed Su Yan’s sister.”
“...”
Boiling with fury, Qiao An wished she could kill her mother on the spot. She said coldly, “We’ll leave it to the police to find out if I was the one who killed her. You don’t have to try and accuse deliberately. You and Xi Changzhi did not feel a tinge of remorse at all for framing and putting behind bars. How do you even go to sleep in peace at night? You’re really thick-skinned, aren’t you? Li Wanru, you failed as my father’s wife and you eloped with another man a few years after giving birth to . You made suffer the sha and humiliation I received from the Qiao family for having such a disgraceful mother like you. You failed as a mother. You sent to jail and absconded with my assets for the sake of marrying Xi Changzhi’s father. I bet you’re hoping that your stepson will be filial to you when you’re old and gray. I’m really looking forward to seeing that!”
Li Wanru tried to suppress her emotions and stayed as calm as she possibly could. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. You actually accused after being brainwashed by the Qiao family. What a great daughter you are, Qiao An.”
Instead of arguing with her any further, Qiao An said to her bodyguard, “Co in.”
“Madam.” The bodyguard entered.
“Search her and retrieve the recording device on her, be it in her mouth, on her body, or her pocket. Remove her clothes completely and search her.”
Li Wanru did not expect her to do that at all. When she was held down by the bodyguards who began undressing her, she trembled uncontrollably in exasperation. At last, they found two recording devices on her.
Staring at the recording devices, Qiao An sneered, “Seems like you really ca prepared. However, your plan wasn’t seamless enough.”
At last, Li Wanru was thrown out of the Su family ho.
To her astonishnt and dismay, not only did she fail to accomplish her task, she even got humiliated by Qiao An.
She was filled with anger.
However, she had no choice but to leave in a pathetically disheveled state.
——
Jing Chu was extrely anxious and worried for Qiao An, who had already served three years in prison after being maligned. God knows what might happen if she were to get imprisoned again.
Seeing that news of the matter was all over the dia, she asked Pei Yi, “Is there a way to stop them from making speculations?”
“If the Su family hasn’t intervened to stop the dia reports, why should I do it? You’re not the one being talked about anyway.”
“Mr. Su has just clarified things, but the public is clearly not convinced by him. After all, Sis Qiao An is his wife and they probably just think that he’s defending her.”
“Let’s just wait for the investigation outco. This concerns the Su family’s reputation. I believe the police will definitely do their best to investigate.”
That’s true. The Su family is no ordinary family and enjoys high status and authority. The truth will definitely be out one day, Jing Chu thought to herself.
“I once told Tang Zhijing that I wanted to go to a peaceful place and live in solitude in the future. If only there’s a utopia in this world.”
“You won’t be living as comfortably as you are now if you were in utopia. The living conditions would be terrible if you go to a place where there are no other humans. You won’t get to enjoy good food, sleep well, or live well. You’d even have to live primitively and make your own clothes. What’s the good in that?”
“Tang Zhijing agreed with my idea. Seems like you think differently from .”
Pei Yi smiled and teased, “Oh no, you’ll never get to lead that kind of lifestyle since you’re with now.”
Jing Chu said, “Actually... this isn’t the life I wanted. It’s too dangerous and risky. If we can’t live in seclusion, we can at least go to a place where nobody knows us and live a simple life. Pei Yi, I actually wanted to say this to you since a long ti ago. Have you ever thought about our future? To put it bluntly, the DK Organization is the world’s greatest enemy. As one of the leaders of the organization, you may hold great power now but what happens in the future? What if our son ends up like you? There are so many justice warriors in this world. Can we really defeat all of them? I don’t want to live such a worriso life and feel like I’m walking on eggshells every day.”
Staring at her, Pei Yi said, “But there’s no turning back for now. Back then, I stained my hands with blood and took away lots of lives to get to where I am today. There are so many people waiting to kill . There’s really no turning back for . I can only continue advancing forward. There’s nowhere I can run either. The DK Organization has quarters in every country. There’s no escape.”
Jing Chu understood the predicant that he was in. Hence, she decided to drop the subject, for she knew that no amount of discussion would lead to an outco.
Hence, all she hoped was for the three of them to continue living peacefully without any chaos.
Pei Yi had successfully registered a personal identification card and household register for Jing Chu. It would usually take a few months for personal identification cards to be issued. However, they managed to obtain it in a day through so underhanded ans.
Pei Yi and Jing Chu got their marriage registered, and Jing Chu officially beca Mrs. Pei.
There were only a few people who knew about it because Pei Yi restricted the dia from reporting about it.
Pei Yi decided that it would be better to keep a low profile, mainly because of his identity, as well as to prevent those people who tried to light Jing Chu on fire in S Nation from finding out that she was still alive.
Jing Chu even requested to skip the wedding.
Jing Chu would visit Pei Yi’s mother every day with Pei Ling and chat with her.
She would spend most of her ti at Mrs. Pei’s ho since she did not have much to do.
Mrs. Pei started to change her opinion of Jing Chu.
“Have you ever thought of searching for your parents in the future?”
She answered, “No, they’re not worth my ti. I don’t need a mother who’d sacrifice for the sake of money.”
Mrs. Pei agreed with a nod, “That’s true. She failed her duty as a mother. Pei Yi seems to have beco much happier lately. I guess he really adores you. Be more understanding and caring toward him. Work is really tiring for him.”
“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll treat him well. He’s my husband.”
“Good to hear. With you around to take care of him, I can put my mind at ease and rest assured after I pass away.”
“...”
