Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Tears of Grievance
"You, you’re talking nonsense—" Mrs. Bai’s voice was genuinely weaker this time.
She hadn’t expected Fu Mingxue to call the police from the Xicheng Police Station.
’This isn’t good.’
"I’m talking nonsense? Heh, that matchmaker just came to my house. Heh, he’s really going to great lengths for your Bai Siqi! When one plan fails, he just comes up with another. For all I know, he wants to drag my daughter into the muddy pit of his family! All so your daughter can steal my daughter’s identity and go to university in peace."
Listening to her mother’s words, Fu Mingxue’s eyes stung.
In her past life, this was exactly how she had been wronged.
She had suffered for a lifetime.
"Officer, I want to report Bai Siqi for trying to steal my university acceptance letter. Also, I want to file another report—I’m asking the police to investigate the incident this morning where I was pushed into the river. I was definitely kicked hard into the river by someone. The clothes I changed out of at home must still have the mark. Please, Officer, investigate and find the truth."
The moment she said this, the color drained from Mrs. Bai’s face.
’A mark on the clothes?’
She panicked.
Mrs. Fu happened to see this and immediately pointed a finger, shouting, "Officer, look! She’s panicking!"
At her shout, everyone turned in unison to look at Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai: ...?
’Goddammit, why don’t you just drop dead?’
"I’m not! You’re slandering me—"
"Heh, I’m not blind. Besides, are all these other people here blind too?" A mother’s love makes her fierce, and with such a beautiful daughter at home, Mrs. Fu’s fighting spirit was always off the charts.
The police officer walked up to Mrs. Bai. "Where is Bai Siqi? Tell her to come out."
"My daughter—" She had been about to say she wasn’t home, but she felt that wouldn’t work. So she had to change her tune. "I’ll go get her."
Mrs. Fu sneered. "No need for you to get her. Who knows what story you’ll cook up together! I’ll do it—"
She cleared her throat and bellowed towards the courtyard, "Bai Siqi, get your ass out here! I’ve called the cops! If you don’t come out, it means you have a guilty conscience. That’s resisting arrest, which will only make your crime worse—"
Fu Mingxue: ...? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
’Oh, Mom, that’s not how you say it.’
The police officer’s face darkened considerably.
’What kind of nonsense is this woman shouting?’
"Have Bai Siqi come out."
Mrs. Bai could no longer maintain her gentle facade.
Her face grim and pale, she turned and shouted towards the courtyard, "Siqi, come out for a moment."
Hiding in the courtyard, Bai Siqi’s face was deathly white.
’What am I going to do?’
’My reputation is completely ruined.’
She couldn’t help but complain about Song Yan—’How could he mess up such a simple thing?’
’If he had just made intimate physical contact with Fu Mingxue in front of everyone, how could she have possibly gotten away?’
’But now, not going out isn’t an option either.’
She adjusted her expression, then slowly and reluctantly walked out.
Her deathly pale face made her look like a pitiful, delicate flower.
"Officer, I didn’t—"
Before she could finish her sentence, the postman, who had been waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward to testify.
"I can testify. She’s the one who said she was Fu Mingxue and told me to give her Fu Mingxue’s letter. After she stopped me, I even specifically asked for her name to confirm, and she said she was Fu Mingxue—then this young woman arrived, and she still tried to snatch the university acceptance letter. She had no intention of giving it back."
The postman was also quite furious.
He was the most innocent party in this whole affair.
Think about it: if someone stopped you, asked for a letter, and even gave the correct name, of course he would believe them.
What happened today... it had nearly cost him his job.
"Sir, you must have misheard. I was just asking if you had a letter for me. Then I offered to take Fu Mingxue’s letter for her, just to save you a trip. How can you wrongfully accuse me?"
Bai Siqi’s eyes were terribly red, and tears of grievance began to fall.
