208 Chapter 207, It’s Best To Pretend That You Don’t Know Each Other
“Xiao Lei, I know you’re angry. This matter was indeed Yufang’s 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 wouldn’t discuss it. She felt aggrieved, so she thought wrongly for a moment. When she comes back, I’ll definitely teach her properly.” Yufang’s father pulled the corner of Li Lei’s shirt anxiously.
“For the sake of the relationship between the two of you for so many years, can you talk to the police…”
“Uncle Liang, I respect you and call you Uncle Liang, but there are some things that you can not say carelessly.” Li Lei interrupted Yufang’s 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 husband’s ex-girlfriend’s 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 Xiaoning’s hand, consoling her silently.
Li Xu also came to her senses. She quickly went forward and said in a whisper, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Xiao Lei and her, what friendship do they still have?”
Meng Xiaoning looked at the consoling words of the one adult and one kid, then finally felt a little better in her heart.
“Big Sis, I’m fine. I’m not angry!”
She smiled at Li Xu and then gently patted Ji Yuanyuan’s head.
“Uncle 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. Aren’t what she did too much?”
Yufang’s father nodded embarra.s.sedly. “It’s not too much, it’s not too much…”
“The 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 don’t understand what did Liang Yufang came here today for? She’s so ruthless. It’s obvious that she wants my life. I’m not cheap. She wants my life, and I’m pleading on her behalf?”
Li Yong said sarcastically, “A vicious woman like Liang Yufang should be locked up for a few days before she’s so she could be more honest. Otherwise, she’ll think that she’s the center of the world, and everyone in the world will revolve around her!”
Yufang’s father was an honest man and didn’t know how to speak. Hearing Li Yong’s words, his face flushed red.
“She 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!” The more Li Yong spoke, the angrier he got, he pushed Li Lei and walked back. “Go, go, go. It’s so cold outside. You and Sister-in-law should quickly go back and rest. This matter has nothing to do with you. I’m the one who called the police.”
Li Lei took a deep breath and looked at Yufang’s father. “Uncle Liang, I’ve said everything I need to say. Take care!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked to Meng Xiaoning’s side. He helped her with the shawl on her body and said in a low voice, “Let’s go. Let’s go back!”
It was December and Meng Xiaoning was wearing a thin dress. There was only a shawl on the outside. She was freezing. So she didn’t say anything and left with Li Lei.
Yufang’s father watched Li Lei leave, but he was too embarra.s.sed to say anything.
After Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning left, Li Yong said, “You should leave. Since they did such a thing, they should bear the consequences.”
Yufang’s father let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, “Xiao Lei is a good child. It’s our Yufang who doesn’t have the fortune…”
Seeing the pitiful look on Yufang’s father’s face, Li Yong felt a little uncomfortable.
He endured it again and again, but he still could not help but say, “What’s 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 don’t know anything about it?”
Even if Yufang’s father had not been at home, could it be that the villagers had not said anything to him?
Whether he really didn’t know or pretended not to know, probably only he knew.
“Since the betrothal gift money has been returned, and my brother is already married, I think it’s best for our two families to have as little contact as possible in the future. Even if we meet on the street, it’s best to pretend not to know each other.”
Li Xu didn’t expect Li Yong to say such reasonable words. She looked at him with a little surprise.
Yufang’s 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.
“By the way, Big Sister, we might have to go to the police station to make a statement,” Gong Wenbai suddenly said. “Yuanyuan, Mucheng, and I can be considered witnesses.”
Li Xu came to her senses and looked at Li Yong immediately. “Okay, go back and help clean up. Tell Uncle Qin that we’ll go to the police station.”
With Gong Wenbai around, Qin Junshan was quite at ease with Qin Mucheng.
The whole morning had pa.s.sed, but he didn’t look for Qin Mucheng. At this moment, he didn’t know where he was, so Li Xu couldn’t be bothered to look for him.
Li Yong nodded. “Alright, I’ll talk to Uncle Qin.”
Only then did Li Xu say, “Alright, let’s go.”
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 didn’t kill anyone intentionally and only wanted to destroy the curtain, the police wouldn’t 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 o’clock 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 o’clock, the food was ready. Li Xu sent Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang 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 Xiaoning’s 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 didn’t see it. Fortunately, Meng Xiaoning wasn’t 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.
