208 Chapter 207, Itâs Best To Pretend That You Donât Know Each Other
âXiao Lei, I know youâre angry. This matter was indeed Yufangâs fault. However, she was also a person with a hard life. She was forced out of the marriage in front of everyone. Now, when the villagers saw her, there was no one who wouldnât discuss it. She felt aggrieved, so she thought wrongly for a moment. When she comes back, Iâll definitely teach her properly.â Yufangâs father pulled the corner of Li Leiâs shirt anxiously.
âFor the sake of the relationship between the two of you for so many years, can you talk to the policeâ¦â
âUncle Liang, I respect you and call you Uncle Liang, but there are some things that you can not say carelessly.â Li Lei interrupted Yufangâs father in time.
He turned his head nervously and looked at Meng Xiaoning.
He saw Meng Xiaoning standing in the same place, the smile on her face was almost gone.
Which woman would be happy to hear her husbandâs ex-girlfriendâs father say these things on their wedding day?
Meng Xiaoning was still standing there. She had already manage her temper.
Ji Yuanyuan went forward and held Meng Xiaoningâs hand, consoling her silently.
Li Xu also came to her senses. She quickly went forward and said in a whisper, âDonât listen to his nonsense. Xiao Lei and her, what friendship do they still have?â
Meng Xiaoning looked at the consoling words of the one adult and one kid, then finally felt a little better in her heart.
âBig Sis, Iâm fine. Iâm not angry!â
She smiled at Li Xu and then gently patted Ji Yuanyuanâs head.
âUncle Liang, I have a clear conscience towards Liang Yufang. When I was with her, I was wholehearted and never had any other thoughts. She was the one who was unsatisfied and had multiple partners. Although she cuckolded me, I only took back the dowry and broke off the engagement with her. Arenât what she did too much?â
Yufangâs father nodded embarrassedly. âItâs not too much, itâs not too muchâ¦â
âThe relationship between us broke off the moment I knew that she was cheating on me. Moreover, Xiaoning and I only met after we broke off the engagement. So I really donât understand what did Liang Yufang came here today for? Sheâs so ruthless. Itâs obvious that she wants my life. Iâm not cheap. She wants my life, and Iâm pleading on her behalf?â
Li Yong said sarcastically, âA vicious woman like Liang Yufang should be locked up for a few days before sheâs so she could be more honest. Otherwise, sheâll think that sheâs the center of the world, and everyone in the world will revolve around her!â
Yufangâs father was an honest man and didnât know how to speak. Hearing Li Yongâs words, his face flushed red.
âShe was criticized by others because of her own fault. She even had crocked thoughts. I think she has been planning this for a long time!â The more Li Yong spoke, the angrier he got, he pushed Li Lei and walked back. âGo, go, go. Itâs so cold outside. You and Sister-in-law should quickly go back and rest. This matter has nothing to do with you. Iâm the one who called the police.â
Li Lei took a deep breath and looked at Yufangâs father. âUncle Liang, Iâve said everything I need to say. Take care!â
After saying that, he turned around and walked to Meng Xiaoningâs side. He helped her with the shawl on her body and said in a low voice, âLetâs go. Letâs go back!â
It was December and Meng Xiaoning was wearing a thin dress. There was only a shawl on the outside. She was freezing. So she didnât say anything and left with Li Lei.
Yufangâs father watched Li Lei leave, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
After Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning left, Li Yong said, âYou should leave. Since they did such a thing, they should bear the consequences.â
Yufangâs father let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, âXiao Lei is a good child. Itâs our Yufang who doesnât have the fortuneâ¦â
Seeing the pitiful look on Yufangâs fatherâs face, Li Yong felt a little uncomfortable.
He endured it again and again, but he still could not help but say, âWhatâs the use of saying all this now? Back then, Liang Yufang was dating several men at the same time, and those men had been to your house. Do you dare to say that you donât know anything about it?â
Even if Yufangâs father had not been at home, could it be that the villagers had not said anything to him?
Whether he really didnât know or pretended not to know, probably only he knew.
âSince the betrothal gift money has been returned, and my brother is already married, I think itâs best for our two families to have as little contact as possible in the future. Even if we meet on the street, itâs best to pretend not to know each other.â
Li Xu didnât expect Li Yong to say such reasonable words. She looked at him with a little surprise.
Yufangâs father put his hands together and lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, he turned around and left in silence.
âBy the way, Big Sister, we might have to go to the police station to make a statement,â Gong Wenbai suddenly said. âYuanyuan, Mucheng, and I can be considered witnesses.â
Li Xu came to her senses and looked at Li Yong immediately. âOkay, go back and help clean up. Tell Uncle Qin that weâll go to the police station.â
With Gong Wenbai around, Qin Junshan was quite at ease with Qin Mucheng.
The whole morning had passed, but he didnât look for Qin Mucheng. At this moment, he didnât know where he was, so Li Xu couldnât be bothered to look for him.
Li Yong nodded. âAlright, Iâll talk to Uncle Qin.â
Only then did Li Xu say, âAlright, letâs go.â
Gong Wenbai drove the car and brought Li Xu and the two children to the police station very quickly.
The three of them told the police everything that had happened. Before they left, they asked a question and found out that Liang Yufang and her mother were still locked up. They would wait for the results of the fingerprint identification, then, they would see if they were released or detained.
Ji Yuanyuan also knew that in this situation, as long as Liang Yufang didnât kill anyone intentionally and only wanted to destroy the curtain, the police wouldnât be able to do anything to her.
After being locked up for a few days, it was fine to give her a warning.
However, even if she could only be locked up for a few days, it could also be considered a warning to her.
In the future, if she wanted to do bad things again, she would have to consider the consequences.
It was already past four oâclock in the afternoon when she returned home after taking her statement. Li Yong and Zhang Kun, who had stayed at home, were already preparing dinner for the night.
They had been busy the whole day and the whole family did not have the chance to have a proper meal together.
At around six oâclock, the food was ready. Li Xu sent Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziâang to the new house to ask Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning to come over for dinner.
After the brothers returned for a while, the couple slowly came over.
Meng Xiaoning had already changed her clothes. She was wearing ordinary clothes and a red down jacket.
Although her hair was still tied up, the makeup on her face had been removed.
If one looked carefully, they could see Meng Xiaoningâs red eyes.
Everyone knew that the couple must have quarreled about Liang Yufang when they went back.
Who would be in a good mood after something like this happened on their wedding day?
Everyone could only pretend that they didnât see it. Fortunately, Meng Xiaoning wasnât the kind of unreasonable person.
...
But also leave Li Lei some food by picking him some dishes happily to let other people who saw them happy.
