Chapter 233: Snobby
Liang Xiuqin received a call from the police station telling her that Liang Xinyi had been detained for theft. She was asked to go to the police station to deal with it.
When she heard that Liang Xinyi had caused her trouble again, Liang Xiuqin was so angry that she almost smashed the phone to pieces.
After Liang Xinyi had come to the Yun family’s house, not only hadn’t she done anything good for her, but she was always causing her trouble and bringing her shame.
The previous incident at the parent conference had already brought her plenty of shame. Now she could no longer show her face at any parent conferences.
Liang Xinyi really was an idiot who gave her trouble instead of good fortune.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that Liang Xinyi was still somewhat useful, she probably wouldn’t have gone to the police station to find out what was going on with her.
If word of this got out, her reputation would be even more ruined.
When Liang Xiuqin arrived at the police station, Liang Xinyi started crying hysterically. She seemed extremely pitiful.
“Auntie, make them let me out. I don’t want to stay here!”
After being yelled at by the police and seeing a few gangsters being locked up due to fighting, Liang Xinyi, who had always been pampered by her parents, felt extremely fearful and resentful.
She had never been to such a place before, and she knew how it would affect her future. She couldn’t think about anything else now.
“How dare you cry? Liang Xinyi, you’ve got some nerve! You have been taught a decent way to live, but now you steal things instead!”
“Aunt, I didn’t… It’s all because of that wretched girl Yun Xi. She is the one who incriminated me.”
“She harmed you, and you have been so stupid that you didn’t fight back?”
“I wanted to, but that wretched girl is too clever…”
“Be quiet!” Before Liang Xinyi could finish complaining, the policeman Xiao Tang, who couldn’t bear to listen to them anymore, slammed the table and interrupted her.
Liang Xiuqin shot Liang Xinyi a vicious glare and then turned to look at the documents that she was supposed to be signing.
“Documents? What’s going on? Is there some sort of misunderstanding here? My kid definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“The school surveillance camera has captured the crime. She really stole the things. We policemen pay extreme attention to evidence in handling such cases. We don’t accuse anyone without hard evidence.”
Xiao Tang passed a financial valuation of the stolen items to Liang Xiuqin. “This is the value of what she stole. Although the circumstances are not serious, according to the Criminal Law, stealing property with a value of less than 10,000 yuan warrants a sentence of two to three years in prison.”
“Two years? You are joking. How can you sentence her just because of such little things?”
When Liang Xiuqin heard that Liang Xinyi was going to be sentenced, she slammed her fists down on the table and stood up.
“If you don’t understand the law, you can get a lawyer.” Xiao Tang raised his head impatiently and handed a form to her.
“This is the file. Since she committed the crime of stealing, she can’t be released on bail for seven days. You can come back and pay her bail in seven days.”
“What do you mean? You plan to detain her for seven days? How can you be like this? She can’t be bailed out even if we pay?”
“She must be detained for seven days and can be released on bail after seven days. We are acting according to protocol, and this is how it must be.”
Liang Xiuqin’s face became stiff upon hearing that Liang Xinyi was going to be imprisoned for seven days. If Liang Xinyi’s story spread around, her future would be compromised. She would never be able to marry up the social ladder.
Who would marry someone with a criminal record?
At that point, what would be the use of spending so much money to nurture her? If there was no longer any way she could marry up socially, why did Liang Xiuqin need to do anything for her?
“I don’t agree. Do you know who I am? My husband is a vice president.”
“Even if your husband comes over, we will handle it in the same way. What do you think this place is? If you have any comments, you can file a complaint against us.”
“Ah, what’s up with your attitude! How can you be such a snobby person? How insufferable. I will file a complaint against you.”
“Do whatever you want.”
“You don’t think I will, do you? Just you wait!”
“Auntie, don’t talk nonsense with them. We must find a way to get me out! I don’t want to stay here!”
“Shut up!” Liang Xiuqin shot her a vicious look, but, unable to bear being trivialized, she took out her phone to make a call.
