Chapter 148: Xiao Lingyu’s Anger

Translator: Lonelytree

Yan Siming’s words were like a bomb that blew up the ground. Even Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were shocked. This was the man who helped their daughter in City Z?

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao blocked Xiao Lingyu behind them. Their bruised faces were full of vigilance.

The people, who were not dumb, could tell that this was the man whom Chen Dahua and Lan Erying said had kept Xiao Lingyu as his mistress. The man had the power and influence to cause Chen Ran’s father-in-law’s company to go bankrupt.

For a moment, everyone looked at Yan Siming with a strange gaze. There was curiosity, doubt, and surprise. At the same time, there was a faint sense of fear, nervousness, and embarrassment.

Chen Dahua was frightened by Yan Siming’s imposing manner and took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with fear and unease. He stuttered, “You… What do you mean by that?”

Yan Siming smiled evilly. “Don’t you understand simple words? Alright, I’ll just say it directly.” He looked at Chen Dahua with a disdainful look and said coldly, “I’m the man who you said had kept Xiao Lingyu as a mistress in City Z. I’m responsible for making Chen Ran’s father-in-law’s company disappear overnight. Do you get me now?”

Chen Dahua’s eyes widened when he heard the man’s admission. He said angrily and in disbelief, “Xiao Lingyu, so what Ran ‘Er said is true. You’ve brought this adulterer with you! Xiao Lingyu, you’re so vicious!”

“You are the ones who are vicious!” Yan Siming shouted sternly, “Xiao Lingyu is innocent. When Xiao Lingyu found out that your good son was having an affair with the boss’s daughter, Xiao Lingyu and I met for the first time. We didn’t know each other before that.” Yan Siming’s sharp gaze shot at Chen Ran. The corner of his mouth revealed a hint of playfulness as he said, “Chen Ran, thank you for introducing me to Xiao Lingyu! Xiao Lingyu knew what you were up to after you and Zhao Wenman plotted against her. In order to take revenge, she found me by the roadside. She asked me for a favor, and I agreed.

“I don’t think I need to tell you what happened at Huiqing Company. I thought after such a big lesson, you’d have learned how to be a better human, but why do you insist on being evil? I was going to give you a chance to stand back on your feet again, but you have to ruin it. Why?” His words were for Chen Ran and also everyone else present. He proved Xiao Lingyu’s innocence.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Chen Dahua did not believe Yan Siming. The only truth Chen Dahua believed was Xiao Lingyu had betrayed Chen Ran and became someone’s mistress and they harmed Chen Ran together. The main reason Chen Dahua’s family was suffering was Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Siming curled his lips and said with a smile, “I have evidence to prove my words. You called me an adulterer. Do you have evidence?”

Chen Dahua roared angrily, “Evidence? What kind of evidence do you have? I don’t care who came first or later. My Ran ‘Er is such an outstanding man, so why can’t he pick a better woman? Why does she have to stick to an old maid like Xiao Lingyu? But Xiao Lingyu, this vicious woman, decided to take revenge because Ran ‘Er chose another woman? How will she find a husband when her heart is so dark?”

Xiao Lingyu was certain that Chen Ran was Chen Dahua’s son because they were both equally despicable. Even now, he was trying to slander her name.

Xiao Lingyu argued, “Chen Dahua, you are twisting the truth, without distinguishing what’s right or wrong. Yes, Chen Ran is free to find a better woman. I will not stop him. As long as he broke up with me properly, I won’t even bother him after that. But that man, to preserve his own name, didn’t want to break up with me. To endear himself to Zhao Wenman, he chose to ruin my reputation. For that, he chose to have me suffer the name of the betrayer. He sent someone to drug me and gifted me… to an old man.”

Xiao Lingyu was tearing open her wounds for all to see.

“Yu ‘Er, stop!” Mother Xiao said with heartache, “Don’t say it anymore.”

“Mom, I have to, or people will think I’m really someone’s mistress and betray that despicable Chen Ran.” Xiao Lingyu said firmly, “I don’t care what people think of me anymore.”

When the people heard Chen Ran drugged and framed Xiao Lingyu, they could guess what happened.

All of a sudden, many people looked at Xiao Lingyu with sympathy, pity, and contempt.

Xiao Lingyu continued to say, “Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman planned to arrange for me to be raped by a man who could be my father. Fortunately, I was able to escape from that man’s room before he arrived.”

Many people secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Xiao Lingyu had escaped. They thought Xiao Lingyu was safe.

“However, the drug they gave me was too powerful. While I managed to escape from the clutches of the old man, I couldn’t…” Xiao Lingyu’s tears fell.

“Yu ‘Er, stop! Please!” Mother Xiao shook her head with tears.

“I couldn’t escape from the effect of the drug. Chen Ran took pictures of this and spread them at work. He wanted me to die in humiliation so he could be on the moral high ground.” Xiao Lingyu sobbed as she told the story. “In ancient times, I would be drowned in the water by now. Chen Ran wanted me to die. So why can’t I take revenge for what they did to me?”

Xiao Lingyu knew that her stomach would grow bigger, and the truth would eventually be exposed. Rather than have people talk behind her back, she decided to tell everyone the truth. After all, she didn’t plan to marry. After her rebirth, she was not afraid of being criticized anymore. This was her life. If she had to live it by another person’s rules, it would be so tiring.

Chen Dahua and Lan Erying didn’t know the truth, but Xiao Lingyu’s words were harmful to them.

Xiao Lingyu looked at them angrily, “Shouldn’t I take revenge on the man who drugged me and wanted me to get raped? He can plot against me, but I can’t retaliate?”

“You… you…” Chen Dahua pointed at her and did not know how to refute.

“So what if you were raped?” Lan Erying said in a sharp voice, “Women have always opened their legs to be fucked. You were raped because you were stupid. Your reputation is nothing compared to my Ran ‘Er’s. So how can you ruin my Ran Er like that? Xiao Lingyu, your life is ruined, so you should just die! You’re a ruined woman, so go and die!”

Many people frowned. Lan Erying’s words were too harsh. Like other villagers, Zhang Chunjiao was watching the show from the crowd. She suddenly shouted, “I heard from other villagers that one of their girls was raped by a gangster. She was so ashamed. Her family also felt ashamed of the daughter. The next day, they found her hanging from the rafters.” Zhang Chunjiao’s meaning was clear. She wanted Xiao Lingyu to commit suicide like that girl.

However, no one knew that Xiao Lingyu in her previous life did attempt suicide. Xiao Lingyu in this life didn’t think it was worth it at all.

“Zhang Chunjiao, stop adding fuel to the fire.” Auntie Zhou was furious. “Before you got married, you slept with a married man. So why don’t you go hang yourself then?”

Before Zhang Chunjiao married and moved to Taoyuan Village, she already had a bad reputation. She only married here because Taoyuan Village was far from her maiden home, and no one knew of her bad reputation here. After a decade, Zhang Chunjiao thought everyone had forgotten about that. However, Auntie Xiao brought it up again. Zhang Chunjiao looked at Xiao Fugui beside her guiltily. When she saw the anger in Xiao Fugui’s eyes, she didn’t dare to say anything again.

Mother Xiao angrily went forward and gave Lan Erying another big slap.

She looked at the swollen face of Lan Erying and shouted angrily, “Lan Erying, when you go back, you should spread your legs and let other men fuck you then! Since you don’t care about it, right?”

Chen Dahua’s eyes were spitting fire as he shouted loudly, “Chen Qiuying, what did you say?!”

Father Xiao stepped forward, “Chen Dahua, my wife was merely returning your wife’s words to her. If it weren’t for your good son, would my daughter suffer such great humiliation? This is Chen Ran’s own doing! Chen Ran did such a despicable thing. I’m already being kind for not killing him.” Father Xiao felt so useless because he allowed his wife and daughter to be bullied so badly.

At this moment, a few policemen came over. When they saw the large group of people, they asked, “Who called the police?”

“I did!” Xiao Lingyu came over and said.

Everyone present was stunned.

They thought that the village chief had called the police.

The station chief, Liu Heng, looked around. Many people had wounds. It was clear there had been a brawl.

Liu Heng looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked seriously, “What’s going on?”

Xiao Lingyu pointed at Chen Dahua’s people and said, “I want to sue them for trespassing, intentional injury, attempted murder.” Then she pointed at Chen Dahua and Lan Erying. “I also want to sue these two for slander!”

They were not in ancient times anymore, but the Chen Family was still terrified when they had to face the police.

Liu Heng looked at the people from Chen Village and then people from Taoyuan Village. He asked sharply, “Was there a brawl?”

“Officer, it was the people from Chen Village who started the fight. They were beating two of us. We had to stop them to save our people.” Xiao Chengbang said. He pointed at Xiao Zhengyang and his wife. “Look at how serious their injuries are. The Chen Family came and gave Zhengyang a direct punch. Then they kicked and assaulted him. Zhengyang was already on the ground, but they refused to stop. And look at the injury on her head. She was smacked with a rock and kicked a few times.”

“Officers, the people of Taoyuan Village were acting in self-defense. It was to stop these people from committing more crimes.” Xiao Lingyu said, “If not for these uncles and auntie’s help, they would have beat my parents to death. These people are guilty of intentional injury and attempted murder. Uncle, please investigate this!”

Uncle Liu Heng,”…” Do I look that old now? I am only in my thirties.

Liu Heng had yet to speak, but the Chen family was almost scared out of their wits.

Someone said, “We… We didn’t do it on purpose. We… We just wanted to teach them a lesson!”

The police, “…”

Well, that was a quick confession. Originally, they needed to start an investigation to verify the girl’s words. However, the man had confessed to the crime just like that.

Liu Heng’s sharp gaze looked at them and said seriously, “Don’t you know that hitting people is against the law? Since you’ve already admitted to the crime, then all of you should come with us.”

The people from Chen Family and Lan Family panicked.

A villager grabbed Chen Dahua’s arm and said nervously, “I don’t want to go to jail.” Then, he told the police, “Sir, I was… asked to come by Chen Sanhua. We were supposed to fight the Xiao Lingyu until Xiao Lingyu coughed up the money. I don’t want the money now. Can you not arrest me?”

Then a second person piped up. “I was also invited by Chen Sanhua and his brother to help. We were told to beat up Xiao Zhengyang and his family. We would be paid 30 RMB afterward.”

“Lan Hongxing told us the same. This is none of my business. I don’t want to go to jail.”

All of the sudden, the people from Chen village and Lan village shirked the responsibility.

Liu Heng looked at them and sneered, “Bring them all to the station. Come on, get in the car!”

Some people from Taoyuan Village, Mother Xiao, Father Xiao, and Xiao Lingyu, also went with them.

Other than to give statements, they had to go to the hospital. Father and Mother Xiao were heavily injured. Xiao Lingyu wanted to bring them to the county hospital.

However, there were too many people involved. The police only sent over two cars. Xiao Lingyu’s car could bring two more people. The rest had to go on their motorcycles. There was no chance of escape because their names and pictures had been taken. If they tried to escape, they would be charged with another crime!

However, Chen Dahua and Lan Erying were unwilling to leave. They begged, “Police comrades, please don’t arrest us, okay? We still have a paralyzed son who needs our care.” They pointed at Chen Ran.

Liu Heng looked at Chen Ran, who was lying on the ground. He frowned and said, “Then bring your son with you to the station. Do you think you can escape your crime because your son is disabled?”

Chen Dahua and Lan Erying were so imposing before Xiao Lingyu, but they were meek before the police.

Chen Dahua and Lan Erying carried Chen Ran into the police car.

The officers had a bad impression of the parents when they smelled the stench. The parents didn’t even provide their son with a blanket, and they didn’t even clean his feces and urine. What kind of parents were these?

However, the police officers were well-mannered to say nothing.

Chen Dahua and his wife were reserved in the police car.

After some time, Chen Dahua said, “Officer, my son hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday night. We… also haven’t eaten anything. Can we stop to eat first?”

Liu Heng said, “But you weren’t hungry when you were fighting and causing trouble? Fine, I’ll get someone to buy some food when we get to town.”

When they arrived at the town, Xiao Lingyu brought her parents to the town hospital. Mother Xiao was okay. She only suffered external injuries.

However, Father Xiao was kicked and punched heavily. There were heavy bruises on his chest. He needed a CT scan to confirm if he had internal injuries.

However, the town hospital didn’t have a CT machine, so they could only bandage his wounds. Xiao Lingyu feared the worst, so she told the officers what happened and drove to the county hospital.

The officers knew Father Xiao suffered a lot in the brawl, so they didn’t make things difficult for them. They could come back to give the statement after the visit to the hospital.

Xiao Lingyu was too unstable to drive, so the responsibility fell to Yan Siming.

Xiao Lingyu saw the injuries on her parents. She blamed herself and started to cry. “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry.” Xiao Lingyu’s tears kept flowing. “How can they be so vicious? I was really blind in the past to think that Chen Ran is a good person.” This time, she would never let them go. She had connections.

Mother Xiao sighed with heartache. “It’s okay, Yu ‘Er, don’t cry.”

Yan Siming just wanted to watch a show. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He had mixed feelings.

Through the rearview mirror, he saw Xiao Lingyu crying her eyes out, and his gaze deepened.

After arriving at the county hospital, they went through a series of examinations.

Mother Xiao’s injuries were superficial. All she needed to do was to bandage her wounds and change the dressing on time.

However, Father Xiao’s injuries made Xiao Lingyu and Mother Xiao break out in a cold sweat.

The doctor said, “The patient’s lungs are injured, and there is bleeding. He needs to undergo surgery immediately. Thankfully, you sent him over in time, or else the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Xiao Lingyu said firmly, “Doctor, please do the surgery immediately!”

While Father Xiao was in surgery, Xiao Lingyu and Mother Xiao waited outside the surgical room. They were very nervous.

When Xiao Lingyu sat on the lounge chair, her hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were filled with hatred. In her previous life, the Chen Family already caused her family a lot of trouble. Even after her rebirth, the Chen Family still caused her family plenty of tragedy, and they almost killed her father. She would make them all pay.

Xiao Lingyu and her mother were silent.

At this moment, Yan Siming bought two boxes of lunch over, saying, “Auntie, Lingyu, you have to eat something. If you don’t, you won’t have the energy to take care of Uncle.”

Mother Xiao said, “Thank you, Mr. Yan. However, I really don’t have the appetite right now.” Since Mother Xiao knew Yan Siming’s identity, she was cautious around him. However, since the man helped them so much, Mother Xiao couldn’t be rude and chase him away.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mr. Yan, you must eat too.”

Yan Siming frowned. “Xiao Lingyu, you haven’t eaten anything since this morning. You can’t starve yourself.” Then, he handed the box lunch to her.

“Thank you. I’m not hungry yet.” Xiao Lingyu’s tone was filled with suppressed anger and worry. Her father was in surgery. She was too worried to eat.

“Mr. Yan has been busy since morning. You really should go back to rest.” Xiao Lingyu told him. She already owed Yan Siming a huge favor before, and now, there was another one. So she didn’t want to trouble Yan Siming anymore. She had no relations with Yan Siming, so no matter his motives, she still thanked him. But she kept him at arm’s length.

Yan Siming felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to stay.

Yan Siming nodded and said, “Then I’ll go back to the hotel first. If there’s anything you need help with, give me a call.”

“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu replied.

After fourth uncle and fourth aunt Xiao made their statements at the police station, they rode their motorcycles to the county town. When they arrived, Father Xiao had just finished surgery, and he was moved into the ward.

“Second sister, Lingyu, what’s going on? How is second brother?” Xiao Mingyang asked worriedly when he saw Father Xiao, who had fallen asleep. “His injuries were so serious that he needed surgery?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Dad was kicked in the lung. The doctor said if we were a bit later, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“Those bastards!” When fourth uncle Xiao heard this, he immediately scolded, “I’m going to kill them!” After saying that, he was about to rush out.

“Enough,” Mother Xiao shouted, “Have you lost your mind? If you go and attack them, we’re going to be the ones in the wrong.”

Liu Chunhua pulled Xiao Mingyang back. “Don’t be rash. They are all locked up in the police station now. You can’t reach them.” Then, Liu Chunhua said guiltily, “This is my fault. Why did I choose to go back yesterday? If I didn’t, this wouldn’t have happened!”

Mother Xiao shook her head. “Chunhua, this is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Even if you were here, they came in such a large group and started to beat us up without any warning. We were all caught off guard. If they aren’t so cunning, do you think the villagers of Taoyuan Village will let them attack us?”

Mother Xiao turned to Xiao Lingyu, “Yu ‘Er, most of the villagers helped us fight with the Chen Village. Some of them were injured. When we go back, we have to thank them properly. For those who are injured, we have to compensate them for their medical expenses.”

“Of course, Mom!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.

“As for those who fanned the flames, we will cut them off. We’ll not even let them come near Little Light again!” A trace of anger flashed across Mother Xiao’s eyes. Then again, how could she not be?

Normally, Mother Xiao didn’t care about these conflicts because it was very tiring. However, she had to care about what happened today. These people took advantage of them but also wanted to bully them. They were despicable. Did they really think the Xiao Family was so magnanimous?

“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu replied. She was not a saint. Why would she be nice to people who harmed her family?

Xiao Mingyang and Liu Chunhua stayed in the hospital for a while and then went back.

Since Father Xiao was hospitalized, Xiao Mingyang went back to pack some daily necessities. Liu Chunhua returned to the farm to watch the work.

Xiao Lingyu and Mother Xiao stayed. Xiao Lingyu rented a house in the county town. It had all the things they needed. They would take turns to watch over Father Xiao.

In the afternoon, the officers from Xing An Town came. When they saw Father Xiao had just finished surgery, they decided to come back the next day.

However, they needed Xiao Lingyu to come back with them.

Xiao Lingyu was worried about leaving Mother Xiao alone. After all, she was injured too.

The police thought about it and said, “We have found out everything. The people from the Chen Village and Lan Family were ordered by Chen Sanhua and Lan Hongxing to wreak havoc at your house. Chen Sanhua and Lan Hongxing said they were only following Chen Dahua and his wife’s commands.

“So, Chen Dahua and his wife were the main culprits, while the others were accomplices. However, Chen Dahua and Lan Erying’s son is paralyzed. They need to take care of him. They wonder if you can show them mercy?”

Xiao Lingyu asked sharply, “Officer, what do you mean by showing mercy? Murder and arson are punishable by death. I don’t care if it’s Chen Dahua or Lan Erying or their villages’ people. Since they came to my parent’s place and injured people for no reason, then they are criminals. Criminals need to be punished by law, right, officers?” Even now, Chen Dahua and his wife thought they could be easily pushed. Xiao Lingyu would never let them go.

“Besides, did you not see my father? He just escaped the door of death! If not for the help of our neighbors, my parents would be dead already!” Xiao Lingyu said sharply, “That is intentional injury or, in this case, attempted murder. Just because their son is paralyzed, so they can go around killing people? If that is the argument for every criminal, then what’s the point of having the law? The law is supposed to be impartial!”

The police, “…” You’ve already said everything… What else can we say?

“Alright, we understand.” The police nodded. “I hope you don’t mind. We’re merely doing our job to pass on the words.”

Xiao Lingyu said politely. “I understand. Thank you for your hard work, officers.”

After the officers left, Xiao Lingyu made a phone call.

On the same day, the people at Chen Village and Lan Village heard the news. Those people who had been asked to help bully the Xiao Family had all been arrested.

They heard the news that they were all arrested due to intentional injury and attempted murder. When people heard the news, they exploded in anger.

They surrounded Chen Erhua, Chen Sanhua, and Lan Hongxing’s houses to cause a ruckus. This was because their families were called by these people to join the troupe to intimidate the Xiao Family. In the end, they were arrested at the police station and became criminals.

“Lan Xiuying, if your man doesn’t get my man out, I’ll burn down your house!” The people of the Chen Village shouted outside Chen Sanhua’s house. Lan Xiuyang said with a cold face. “My man is also inside the station. How is he supposed to get your man out? If you want to get him, go to the station yourself!”

In her heart, she hated Chen Dahua and his wife.

This pair of troublemakers made the family restless the moment they came back.

She forgot that she was the one who instigated Chen Sanhua to bring people to the Xiao Family yesterday.

“I don’t care. I only want my man home. If he’s not, I’ll smash everything in your house.”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Why would you think that?”

The same thing was happening at the Lan Village.

Lan Hongxing’s mother, Zeng Xiaolan, pointed angrily at Lan Baocai. “Lan Baocai, look at your good sister. She’s really a jinx. Once she’s back, she sends Hongxing into the slammer.

“I’m telling you, if Hongxing can’t return, I’ll never forgive you. Also, those people who followed Hongxing, their families are coming to raise ruckus daily. They said they’d ruin our house if we didn’t help them.

“Lan Baocai, tell me what we can do now? How many times I’ve told you to ignore your good sister? She is bad news. You thought you were already the best for having a son. You don’t even respect me, your wife, anymore. Now, let me see how you’ll handle this.”

Lan Baocai smoked his cigarette. His face was dark, and he didn’t say a word.

“Say something!” Seeing this, Zeng Xiaolan was really furious.

A moment later, Lan Baocai said, “Tomorrow, I’ll go to the police station and pull some strings. Some money can always grease the palm.” He couldn’t care about the others, but he had to bring back his on. After all, his Hongxing hadn’t even married yet! How could he marry in jail? He still needed to continue the Lan Family lineage.

The Lan Family had connections in town, and they knew the police station’s deputy chief. If not for this connection, Lan Hongxing, the gangster, would have been arrested so many times already.

Lan Baocai went to Xing An Town with some money, two packs of cigarettes, and two bottles of good wine.

However, when Lan Baocai arrived, he was turned away. After he begged at the door, the deputy chief came and told him, “Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. But your son has offended someone higher than me. I can’t do anything.”

This was a thunderbolt!
