Zhou Tian sighed deeply. “Yes, she was very close to Li Yan and even kissed him. I never knew that she would do such an immoral thing. I hired her to take care of Rou. Not only did she not know how to be grateful, she even took advantage of Rou’s weak body to seduce Li Yan.”
After hearing Zhou Tian’s words, Xia Wan added, “We don’t know who seduced who. Uncle Zhou, it’s a little too early to say.”
Zhou Tian was slightly stunned. “Wanwan, you… What do you mean?”
Xia Wan looked straight at him and said, “Uncle Zhou, you might think that Li Yan was very good to sis Xiaorou before their marriage, so even if you see Li Yan and Luo Xing acting intimate now, you’ll still think that Luo Xing seduced Li Yan first and that’s why he betrayed sis Xiaorou.
“In your heart, you still don’t want to believe that Li Yan betrayed her. Li Yan is unloyal. Xiaorou’s eyes are wrong, right?”
Zhou Tian’s thoughts were seen through by Xia Wan. He sighed heavily again. “This son-in-law of mine used to be very humble when he came to my shop. He would help me tidy up the shop and fight to do the housework at home. I always felt that Rou was lucky to be able to marry him. But now… Seeing him do this, my heart ached, and I didn’t want to believe it.
“If you didn’t say it out loud, I would still be lying to myself. I would rather Luo Xing was the only one with such bad intentions, and Li Yan was just seduced.
That way, Rou’s family could still be saved.”
Xia Wan actually understood Zhou Tian’s thoughts. If this matter had nothing to do with Li Yan, then sis Xiaorou and Li Yan’s marriage could still be preserved. In this era, if a girl were divorced and had a child, it would be difficult for her to find a good partner.
Perhaps they could get married, but the other party might also be a divorcee with a child. Compared to that situation, Zhou Tian definitely hoped that sis Xiaorou could be with Li Yan.
Xia Wan chose to break Li Yan’s fantasy and said to him, “Uncle Zhou, if Li Yan and Luo Xing are really in cahoots, then it’s very likely that they planned to harm sis Xiaorou together. I think you should work harder to observe or take the initiative to reveal a flaw so that they have a chance to attack. This way, they will be exposed, and you will be able to see if sis Xiaorou’s murder has anything to do with Li Yan.
“If it was just a momentary mistake, then Li Yan might still be forgiven. But if he intended to hurt sister Xiaorou, then keeping a person like Li Yan by her side is like keeping a poisonous snake.”
Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, and he had a conflicted expression on his face. Li Yan, did he also partic.i.p.ate in the incident that harmed Xiao Rou? “But why? Rou’er’s been so good to him, and so have I. He and Rou have a daughter. If something happens to Rou, what will happen to Xin Xin?”
Xia Wan had read many stories about sc.u.mbags in her previous life. When she heard Zhou Tian’s question, she asked directly, “Uncle Zhou, how’s Li Yan’s family background
“What does this have to do with Li Yan’s family background?” Zhou Tian was stunned and asked instinctively.
Xia Wan explained patiently, “I’m guessing that Li Yan’s family is ordinary, or even poor, but he is a very ambitious person. Am I right?”
Zhou Tian nodded. “Yes, all correct.”
Xia Wan continued, “Uncle Zhou, this type of guy usually has very strong self-esteem. He urgently needs a girl with a status like sister Xiaorou to be his wife. On one hand, he has face, but on the other, he can use you as leverage. I wonder if you took care of Li Yan’s job?”
If Zhou Tian did not believe that Li Yan had harmed Xiaorou before, his face turned cold after hearing Xia Wan’s a.n.a.lysis.
How could there be no relationship? Li Yan’s leader was his old cla.s.smate, and had been in contact with him for years. They often got together to play chess. His old cla.s.smate had told him that Li Yan’s name would be on the list of people who would be promoted next.
Naturally, he knew that his old cla.s.smate was giving him face by taking extra care of Li Yan..
