Just like Su Xiaofei said, she went to the police station to clear her name, bringing Lu Qingfeng with her. Even though she told him that she would be fine on her own, Lu Qingfeng insisted that he would accompany her nevertheless.
It wasn't like he was worried about her, because he trusted that she knew what she was doing this time. He came with her because he wanted to see for himself the outcome of this well thought out scheme.
However, once they arrived at the police station, they found another man waiting for them. In their past life, this man was a popular fashion designer and stylist to the celebrities. He was commonly known to everyone as 'Andrew', but his real name was Si Yixian. As to what he was doing here, Lu Qingfeng could only look at Su Xiaofei's amused reaction.
Ah, so she knew that Si Yixian would be here. Was this part of her plan, or was this just one of the lucky coincidences for the scheme she pulled against Chen Li? He wondered.
When Su Xiaofei entered, she greeted the inspector who was handling Chen Li's case politely, before turning her eyes to Si Yixian, who had an annoyed and troubled look on his face.
Si Yixian looked at her with apathetic eyes, as if he couldn't be bothered to talk with yet another young miss who only knew how to spend her parent's hard-earned money lavishly. He clearly had a prejudice against people like Su Xiaofei.
"Inspector, can we wait for a moment? My mother and our lawyer are on their way here. Of course, we are willing to cooperate with your investigation, but I'm not well versed with the procedure." She said calmly, surprising both the inspector and Si Yixian, who was conversing lowly with his assistant.
The inspector, who was only in his late forties, cleared his throat and looked at Su Xiaofei.
"Of course, Miss. You and your companion may sit here for a moment, while we wait for both parties' lawyers."
Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng sat across Si Yixian and looked at them curiously.
"Inspector, if you don't mind me asking, who are these people?" Su Xiaofei asked, feigning ignorance about Si Yixuan's identity.
This was the very person she was hoping Chen Li would lure out, by using that fake Butterfly Chrysalis limited edition dress.
Su Xiaofei, of course, knew who Si Yixian was. In her past life, despite having a successful career and celebrated fame, this celebrity stylist and renowned fashion designer, Su Yixian, would lose his life due to a drug overdose.
Su Xiaofei had once collaborated with Si Yixian's Butterfly Chrysalis as she walked on a runway using one of his creations. However, a year later, he would be found dead in his apartment.
Many people believed that it was his addiction that killed him, but only those who were deeply involved in the industry and people close to him, knew that it wasn't the case.
When Si Yixian was seven, he and his sister, who was younger by three years, were sent to an orphanage when their single mother died from an illness. Si Yixian never knew who their father was nor was he interested in finding him.
However, during their stay at the orphanage, Si Yixian was adopted by a of foreign couple, forcibly separating him from his younger sister, who was his only living relative. He was then taken abroad and was raised as their own child.
Years later, he returned with the intention to find the little sister he hadn't seen in decades. He'd become a designer for clothes, his dream since he was a child. He loved to dress his adorable sister with cute clothes when their mother was still alive.
But it proved to be hard for Si Yixian, as the orphanage where he and his sister lived in had been closed ten years prior to his return, and Si Yixian had no lead as to where he would be able to find her. This led him to depression, forcing him to rely on alcohol and drugs to keep his thoughts away from it.
As to why he came here, Su Xiaofei was aware of his strict obsession to protect his works. In her past life, not many would dare to copy his creations because he always made sure that they would spend a good amount of time behind bars.
Su Xiaofei calculated the possibility of him showing up once Chen Li was caught, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure that he would be here, as his assistant usually dealt with these issues for him.
"Miss Su, if you have heard of the brand "Butterfly Chrysalis", this is the owner." The inspector explained, looking at her, then to Si Yixian.
"Oh, hello Mr. Si. I'm sorry that I have to meet you this way. For your information, the counterfeit dress really didn't come from me. I have never handed anything to Chen Li and only allowed her to keep the things she has taken from me." Su Xiaofei greeted him politely and started acting like she wasn't involved in Chen Li's case at all. It was important for her to push all the blame to Chen Li this time.
Si Yixian only frowned and looked away. He didn't know how to deal with young women like Su Xiaofei.
"Let's wait for the result of this investigation before anything else." He said, dismissing her claim.
It didn't take long for Yun Qingrong to arrive in a frantic state with Fang Yi and their family lawyer to represent her daughter. This was the first time she had seen her Feifei at the police station.
"Feifei, did something happen? Are you hurt anywhere?" Yun Qingrong went to her daughter, wondering if she was hurt.. She was in the middle of an important meeting with Fang Yi, when Su Xiaofei called her, informing her that she was on her way to the police station and needed their lawyer's help.
