Chapter 298: 294 You are a White-eyed Wolf (Second Update)Inside the police station. Chief Hong looked at Luo Yuzhu, who was crying her eyes out, and handed her a handkerchief. "Luo Yuzhu, what was your motive for kidnapping Su Peng?" "I just wanted Xiaofeng to recognize me as her mother again." Luo Yuzhu knew she couldn’t bring Lin Jianguo into this—if she did, Lin Jianguo might turn against her. For Yueyue’s sake, she had to hold her ground. "That doesn’t sound right." Chief Hong was not easily fooled. "I distinctly heard you asking Su Xiaofeng for a favor earlier. I remember now, you mentioned a shopping mall; you wanted Su Xiaofeng to acknowledge that a mall registered in her name was a gift from the Wu Family. That did happen, didn’t it?" "Chief Hong, you must have heard wrong. How could I possibly make such a demand of Xiaofeng? Some things are just as they are; what’s fake can’t become real," Luo Yuzhu stopped her tears and forced a smile. "Then it’s better to come clean for leniency." Chief Hong suddenly became stern. "If you confess, you might be treated more leniently." "Chief Hong, I merely had those two men take Su Peng to the city and keep him confined until Xiaofeng agreed to restore our mother-daughter relationship. Then they were to release him. I never expected Su Peng to have a car accident, especially such a serious one. I never asked them to harm him; I even told them to take good care of him. He’s a fool; I felt pity for him looking at him—how could I possibly want someone to hurt him?" Luo Yuzhu too was eager to find out who exactly had hit Su Peng. Just as Chief Hong was about to say something, someone came in: "Chief, the two involved in the kidnapping have been arrested." A jolt went through Luo Yuzhu. "Bringing them to justice is good news." Chief Hong laughed heartily. "Miss Luo, take a rest for a while. I’ll go next door to find out more about the situation." "Chief Hong, I never thought about harming Su Peng; it must have been them. If you are to punish anyone, punish them severely. I had nothing to do with it." "Alright, I’ll find out exactly what happened. The guilty won’t escape, and conversely, an innocent person won’t be wronged," Chief Hong said as he headed to the room next door. Luo Yuzhu sat in the interrogation room, feeling extremely anxious. Lin Jianguo hadn’t shown up yet. Was he planning to distance himself from her, making her bear the consequences alone? Luo Yuzhu knew very well what kind of person Lin Jianguo was. Between self-interest and her, he would definitely choose self-interest. If it weren’t for the Wu Family’s current predicament and Lin Jianguo causing a divorce scandal, he would probably have divorced her directly to save face. ... Xiaofeng brought dinner over: "Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Ye Cheng said he can make it tonight, and as soon as he arrives, I’ll bring him right over." Upon hearing that Ye Cheng would come, He Ximei felt much relieved. Ye Cheng was a highly skilled doctor; he had cured severe illnesses of the Wu Family’s eldest, so Pengzi’s condition could definitely be managed. "Alright, go back soon," He Ximei’s face relaxed significantly. "He’s coming over anyway, no need to rush him. Let him rest first; coming over first thing tomorrow morning would be just as good." After all, Pengzi’s condition wasn’t urgently bleak. "Okay," Xiaofeng nodded. That night she planned to look again to see if she could find the Revival Herb. If she could find it, her elder brother’s intelligence might be restored. "Xiaofeng." Mei Sanying was in good spirits. "I went to see Xianghe today. Xianghe says he’s been behaving very well inside and might be released next month. This child, he finally hasn’t suffered in vain; he knows now what he can and cannot do from now on." "Aunty, don’t worry. Once Xianghe is released, as long as he is willing to follow me, I won’t say he’ll make a fortune, but earning enough to feed himself and even marry a wife, that’s definitely possible," Xiaofeng reassured. "If he doesn’t follow you properly, I’ll break his legs." Mei Sanying genuinely liked Xiaofeng for being competent and kindhearted. Had Xiaofeng not taken her in, she—an old woman whose son was in prison—might have given up on life long ago. It was strange, but ever since she started living with Xiaofeng, her health seemed much improved compared to before. She could eat a bigger bowl of rice than before and walk with more vigor, as if, as people say, she could bring the wind when walking. Today, when Xianghe saw her looking well and healthy, he was very happy and kept saying that if he couldn’t follow Xiaofeng properly later on, he would allow her to break his legs.

"Xiaofeng, ever since I’ve been living here with you, my mood has improved, and so has my health. I used to feel old and struggled with mobility, but lately, I haven’t felt that way at all. You would say I’m getting younger as I live longer, wouldn’t you?" It’s often said that good spirits come with happy events. She didn’t have any particular joyous occasion, yet her health seemed to be getting better and better. Xiaofeng listened to Mrs. Mei’s energetic speech and laughed. She could clearly feel that Mrs. Mei’s complexion and health had improved a lot compared to before, and even her voice was much louder than before. It seemed that eating vegetables from the space had indeed been effective for Mrs. Mei. "Mrs. Mei, that’s a good thing, isn’t it? It shows, you know, that our days are looking up and there’s hope yet." "It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t kindly taken me in, and let me eat well, drink well, and sleep well, who knows, I might have been driven to my death by that scoundrel." That day at the hospital, if Xiaofeng hadn’t found a doctor, she would have died long ago and wouldn’t be alive today. "Mrs. Mei, you’ve helped me too, haven’t you? If it weren’t for you, how would I have meals ready on my return home, or be able to take a hot bath and all that? You don’t let anyone else do the housework." Mrs. Mei was not one to sit still; she kept the house inside and out tidy. "You girl, you have such a kind heart," Mrs. Mei wished Xiaofeng were her own daughter-in-law. It was just too bad she wasn’t. Who would Jianguo marry in the future? Around ten o’clock, Xiaofeng’s gate sounded. Xiaofeng glanced at the time, wondering if it was Ye Cheng arriving. From the Imperial Capital to here, it took at least two days and nights by train. Of course, it was also possible that Ye Cheng had flown here; if he had hurried here by plane, the timing would be about right. When she opened the gate, however, it was Granny Lin and Lin Yue standing at the door. Su Xiaofeng was somewhat surprised, "Why have you come?" Granny Lin glanced outside, "Let’s talk inside." Xiaofeng led the way into the house with Granny Lin and Lin Yue following behind. Granny Lin surveyed the courtyard, the two-story small building clad in white ceramic tiles, with some flowers and plants grown in the yard along with some scallions. It was said that this place used to belong to Chief Yuan’s family. After the Yuan family was transferred to Haicheng, they had given the house to Su Xiaofeng. She sat on the living room sofa like a lady of stature, Lin Yue standing proudly behind her, staring at Su Xiaofeng in the same haughty manner. "Xiaofeng, who are these two?" Mrs. Sanying was about to start cooking, as Xiaofeng had said Ye Cheng would be coming home that night. After a day’s travel, Ye Cheng would need to eat first thing at home. "Mrs. Mei, they’re just two guests. You go on to the kitchen." Watching Mrs. Sanying enter the kitchen, Granny Lin got straight to the point, "We’ve come to know about what Luo Yuzhu did. We’re here today just to ask how much money do you want?" Luo Yuzhu’s kidnapping was wrong, but it was solely her action. The Lin Family was ready to pay for her actions, which was very noble of them. "Granny Lin, the way you’re asking," Xiaofeng’s smile played at the corners of her lips as she listened to Granny Lin’s words, "makes it sound like we’re trying to extort money from the Lin Family. If Luo Yuzhu hadn’t kidnapped my brother beforehand, would my brother have been in that accident? Or do you think that money can solve everything, including waking up my brother now?" "Su Xiaofeng," Lin Yue, annoyed by Xiaofeng’s words, said, "Don’t push your luck. Our Lin Family just wants to settle things peacefully. Just name your price, and we can settle this privately. If you persist in being unreasonable, the only losers will be you." It was her own plea that brought Granny Lin to discuss compensation. "Yes, Xiaofeng," Granny Lin softened her tone slightly, speaking earnestly, "no matter what, you have called Yuzhu ’Mom’ for eighteen years, and she has regarded you as her daughter for eighteen years. She did this thing partly for you. She must have been afraid that your step-mother’s son would take over your family’s property, so she thought about dealing with him. Otherwise, why would a fine Mrs. Lin stoop to kidnap your foolish big brother? Your family isn’t rich, and it doesn’t hold any power—there’s no motive, isn’t it?" "Look at the past, I don’t know who insisted on sticking to Mom like glue. Now that Mom is in trouble, you want to deny all connection, Su Xiaofeng. No matter what, she’s your benefactor. If you dare be ungrateful to Mom, you’re nothing but an ingrate." She knew that her mother definitely had a place in her heart for Su Xiaofeng; otherwise, why would she have done the kidnapping over the bastard in Su Xiaofeng’s womb? Her mother’s actions were surely for Su Xiaofeng, if not for her, then who else?
