Chapter 95: Chapter 95
At the police station, how can they be allowed to make a scene casually.
Tian Chuying was immediately stopped by someone.
Tian Chuying went crazy, crying and shouting as she insisted she didn’t do it, blaming it on Lu Weihua for false accusations and shirking responsibility.
But Lu Weihua was speaking logically and with evidence.
That night, Tian Chuying asked Lu Feng to meet her at the entrance of the village, but Lu Feng had a stomach issue and couldn’t go, so he asked Lu Weihua to relay a message for him.
Lu Weihua went there, and when Tian Chuying saw Lu Feng hadn’t come, she was furious, thinking that Tian Xiang had seduced her beloved, causing Lu Feng not to come out to meet her.
The two chatted for a bit, and the more Tian Chuying talked, the angrier she got, so she asked Lu Weihua to help teach Tian Xiang a lesson, promising to treat him to food and drinks afterward.
Lu Weihua, confused and irrational, thought it wasn’t a big deal and agreed, thinking he would just scare Tian Xiang a little.
That led to the subsequent events, which made sense of Tian Chuying’s sudden decision to leave; she was the mastermind, creating an opportunity for Lu Weihua.
Lu Weihua glared at Tian Chuying, "That night, by the hay shed at the village entrance, if we weren’t talking about this, what were we talking about? You tell me?"
A blatant threat, Tian Chuying stood there silent, stunned.
After a while, she looked at Tian Xiang, tears in her eyes, "Sister, you know he’s lying, right? I didn’t intend to harm you; I’m being wronged!"
This kind of wronging, Tian Xiang couldn’t say for sure, since Lu Weihua was a thug, capable of such things.
But Tian Chuying also had deep conflicts with her; whether she was the mastermind or if there were hidden motives, only the two of them knew.
To shift the nature of things, an attempted assault was framed as intentional revenge.
If Tian Chuying could reveal the threats Lu Weihua made to her that night, it would be hard for Lu Weihua to evade responsibility, with Tian Chuying and Lu Feng as witnesses, he wouldn’t escape.
But Lu Weihua banked on Tian Chuying being too ashamed to make that night’s events public, turning the situation upside down and pinning it on Tian Chuying.
Lu Weihua’s reasons could hold water, especially since there was indeed a grudge between Tian Chuying and Tian Xiang, giving her motive.
Tian Xiang didn’t know what to say, looking on indifferently at everything unfolding in front of her.
Meng Cheng’an suppressed his anger, glaring murderously at Lu Weihua, who was avoiding eye contact, head bowed.
No matter whether this incident began as Tian Chuying’s revenge or Lu Weihua’s deliberate misdeed, claiming it was just to scare her was a lie.
Meng Cheng’an knew very well what kind of person Lu Weihua was.
A couple of steps away, Lu Feng also believed Lu Weihua harbored such intentions at the time.
There was nothing to be done; men seemed drawn to that kind of thing.
Even if it started as just a scare, in the end, it wouldn’t be controllable.
Lu Feng looked over at the tear-streaked face of Tian Chuying.
Whether stupid or vicious, it didn’t matter now; with this incident, she would never raise her head again in her lifetime.
Perhaps it was for the best.
Recalling Tian Chuying saying she’d publicly acknowledge their relationship upon returning during their past meeting in the woods, now with this case, it didn’t matter whether it was publicized or not; her family would never agree, and she probably understood that too.
It saved him a headache.
As different thoughts crossed everyone’s minds, at that moment, Tian Xiang noticed the label on Tian Chuying’s forehead had changed, from Female Secondary 4 to Female Secondary 8.
Female Secondary 8, similar to the position of Widow Jiang back then, she was just for fun, nothing more.
Tian Xiang felt a jolt, turning her head to look at Lu Feng.
He sat not far away, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, appearing refined on the outside, yet internally filled with filth and betrayal.
Tian Chuying had at least helped him with his affairs, yet at this crucial moment, he didn’t even say a word in her defense, turning her from a chess piece into a plaything.
A toy used and thrown away, more miserable than being directly abandoned.
Of course, this outcome was Tian Chuying’s own doing; she deserved it.
Watching her biological cousin cry and plead incessantly, Tian Xiang couldn’t care less to say a word; even one more glance felt disdainful.
"Whether you’re innocent isn’t up to me; if you have something to say, tell the investigators directly."
Tian Xiang shortly left; reconciliation was impossible. It depended on how the security team classified and handled it.
Tian Xiang and Meng Cheng’an walked out of the interrogation room, where Hu Honglian came over asking for details.
Last night her daughter came back without saying anything; who would’ve thought something happened outside.
The three of them stood in a corner of the security hall as Tian Xiang roughly shared the situation with Hu Honglian.
But as to who the real mastermind was, she couldn’t say right now; they would have to wait for the investigation results.
Hu Honglian was furious after hearing it.
How could that wretched Tian Chuying be so vicious, again and again acting maliciously towards her daughter?
And Lu Weihua, whom they originally thought was good—who knew...
Sure enough, the friends their son made could never be decent people.
She had to call her son for a good beating when they got back.
Hu Honglian was both anxious and annoyed, feeling heartache seeing Meng Cheng’an’s bruised face.
Apparently, the fight was related to her daughter, but he didn’t manage to hit Lu Weihua the scoundrel, instead clashing with Lu Feng.
What happened this time, and how did it involve Lu Feng as well?
Just thinking about it felt chaotic!
The three didn’t talk for long before heading out.
Hu Honglian was off to the barbershop to beat her son, and Tian Xiang had to accompany her to prevent her mother from getting too rough.
This was something Meng Cheng’an obviously couldn’t accompany them on, but he was unwilling to just leave .
Now that their relationship was confirmed, he was eager to spend every day glued to Tian Xiang.
Meng Cheng’an’s gaze was full of affection, and Tian Xiang certainly felt it, so when the three reached the station, Tian Xiang asked Hu Honglian to hold on for a moment and took Meng Cheng’an aside to talk.
"Let the police station handle Lu Weihua’s matter for now; don’t impulsively do anything silly."
The words "big villain" and "blackened" were still written on his forehead, and Tian Xiang worried he might do something dumb in secret for revenge.
Meng Cheng’an nodded gloomily.
Seeing he didn’t seem to hear her, Tian Xiang felt worried and thought for a moment before asking him, "By the way, what time did you come by car this morning?"
Meng Cheng’an: "Just after seven."
Tian Xiang: "Why so early?"
Meng Cheng’an: "Couldn’t sleep."
He hadn’t been sleeping well these past two days, too excited.
Tian Xiang frowned, "You’ve been so busy these past days, eating and sleeping poorly. Now that you’re back with a warm bed, how can you not take a good rest? Go home and sleep a bit more. Look in the mirror; you’ve got dark circles under your eyes."
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that she looked carefully, Meng Cheng’an indeed had dark circles.
Tian Xiang felt slightly disdainful, but Meng Cheng’an, knowing she cared, finally smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay."
Tian Xiang: "If you’re home alone and don’t feel like cooking, eat at the factory. Oh, my car is still at the factory; if you have time this afternoon, could you bring it over?"
Tian Xiang wanted to keep an eye on him, preventing him from going to trouble Lu Weihua.
Of course, she also really missed him.
Since they started seeing each other, for some reason, she found Meng Cheng’an more handsome by the day, even finding the wounds on his face pleasing to the eye.
