Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Lian was infuriated by his words, thinking her foolish son had no right to pay every time they went out!
Xia Wan asked many other questions, and Xia Yu claimed he had not been involved. He mentioned that Liu Shi occasionally asked for his help when he needed someone for a fight.
Xia Wan had a hunch that Liu Shi might implicate Xia Yu intentionally because he was her relative, hoping to drag her down with him.
Although Xia Yu often bullied their family members, taking this matter seriously, Xia Wan didn’t want personal grudges to interfere with the truth.
She told Xia Yu, “You should surrender to the police directly and confess everything voluntarily. Your crime isn’t significant, and you won’t need to go to jail as long as you tell the truth.”
Xia Yu seemed doubtful and asked, “Really? But Liu Shi insists I was his accomplice. Will the police believe me?”
“As long as you speak the truth, the police will determine the facts, and they won’t wrongly accuse you,” Xia Wan assured him.
Still hesitant, Xia Yu looked at Chen Lian and asked, “Mom, what should I do? Should I go to the police station?”
Chen Lian looked at Xia Wan and pleaded, “Wanwan, you’ve met more people than us. Can you accompany us to the police station?”
She put a bag of eggs on the table, saying, “I bought these eggs with money, just come with us to ease our minds, okay?”
After some estimations, Xia Wan realized that the police station wasn’t far from her place, and she could go to her shop directly afterward, so she agreed.
However, she didn’t agree immediately. She looked at Chen Lian and Xia Yu, saying, “Back when we were in our hometown, you didn’t treat us well. We haven’t had much meat in these years. Not long ago, you even tried to break into our house. Aunt, do you think I should help you after how you treated us?”
Chen Lian understood that there was room for negotiation in this matter. She immediately put on a righteous appearance and said, “Wanwan, don’t worry. If you help us today, I’ll come to you with any information in the future.”
“I admit that we were a bit harsh on your family before, but it was mostly because of Song Yan and Xia Ru. Song Yan kept bad-mouthing your family in front of me.”
“Also, you know our daughter Xia Ye. She’s just a follower, doing whatever Xia
Ru tells her to do.”
With Chen Lian’s assurance, Xia Wan reluctantly agreed.
The three of them left the house and headed towards the police station. Chen Lian and Xia Yu were nervous in front of the police, so Xia Wan helped relay the situation to make the police understand the truth.
Officer Song nodded and said to Xia Yu, “If what you said is true, you haven’t committed a significant offense. Just remember not to harm others in the future. You can go home for now, and we’ll contact you if needed.”
Feeling relieved that Officer Song didn’t press charges, Xia Yu sighed with relief.
As the three of them left the police station, a car suddenly stopped in front of Xia Wan.
The window rolled down, revealing Chen Mo’s handsome face.
His expression softened when he looked at Xia Wan and said, “Get in the car.”
Xia Wan nodded and told Chen Lian, “Aunt, you and Xia Yu can go back. The matter ends here.”
“Alright.” Chen Lian agreed, looking at the car.
As Xia Wan got into the passenger seat, she heard a pleasant female voice,
“Sister Xia Wan, we meet again.”
She turned to see Chen Mots sister, Chen Shui.
Xia Wan smiled warmly, “You’re here. Feeling better now?”
Chen Shui smiled brightly, nodding, “Much better. Before, I spent most of my time lying down, but now I can go on outings and shopping with my friends. Sister Xia Wan, I never thought I could have this kind of life. Thanks to your help.”
Chen MO, looking at Xia Wan through the rearview mirror, asked, “Aren’t those your relatives who treated you badly? Why are you with them? Did something happen?”
Realizing something was amiss, Xia Wan asked, “Is there more to Liu Shi’s case?”
