Chapter 130 - A Poisonous Woman (2)
If Chen Li voiced such a question to Lu Qingfeng, he would tell her straight up that Su Xiaofei was the only woman he could be with and there would be no other. Perhaps for someone, it might sound like an obsession, but he didn't care, as long as he was able to protect her from everyone, including himself.
If one day he realizes that he poses a threat to Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng would force himself to retreat, no matter how painful it would be for him.
After living three lifetimes, he wouldn't be surprised if he had truly lost his mind at some point in time. In his previous life, he was willing to let go of Su Xiaofei if Mo Yuchen was going to treasure her and love her more than he could ever have.
Alas, just like in his first life, Mo Yuchen was a selfish bastard whose eyes were only coveting Yun Qingrong's possessions again.
Back to the problem at hand, Si Yixian nodded, but he was obviously disturbed to know that a person like Chen Li had no qualms about betraying Su Xiaofei like this. As he gave Su Xiaofei a good look, he was now seeing her in a new light.
She was very different from the other young misses his business had catered to in the past. Si Yixian was currently twenty-seven, and he had been working in the industry for eight years now.
From his experience, he had met a lot of young women who acted arrogantly, as if they expected the world to bow their heads to them just because they had a lot of money.
As for Su Xiaofei, Si Yixian had never met a calm and elegant young woman like her. The way she stood and walked, reminded him of those professional models whom he'd seen on international runways.
The way she spoke was calm, yet it was clear that she had laced it with her own poison to strike her enemy down. She had a tongue that could turn the tables in her favor. Such a poisonous woman. Su Xiaofei was clearly not a good person, but Si Yixian couldn't help but like her.
A few minutes later, Aunty Liu came to the police station, bringing the box containing the dress that Su Xiaofei kept in her wardrobe. She placed the box on top of the table and gave Su Xiaofei a confused look.
"Feifei, I brought the dress you asked me to, but what are you doing here?"
However, as soon as her eyes caught Chen Li, who was crying in her mother's embrace, her smile fell in understanding. This mother and daughter were trying to frame their Feifei again.
So this was why… This was why Feifei had ordered the fake dress before Chen Li and her family left the mansion. What made the old woman curious was, how did Su Xiaofei know that this would happen?
Si Yixian's assistant stepped forward and inspected the dress Aunty Liu brought this time and he nodded his head in approval.
"I can vouch the authenticity of this dress, Andrew." He told Si Yixian. "This is one of the one hundred limited edition pieces that was part of the collection last year. They even have the receipt still intact inside the box.
Si Yixian nodded. He trusted his assistant's judgement and knew that he couldn't possibly be wrong this time.
The inspector looked at Su Xiaofei's group, then to Chen Li and her mother. While Su Xiaofei had an alibi - the dress was still in her possession, Chen Li had no evidence to prove her claim that the counterfeit dress was taken from Su Xiaofei.
It also didn't help that she had a history of stealing from Su Xiaofei, which led to her family being kicked out from the Su household.
"Andrew, what do you think?" Si Yixian's assistant asked him. This was the first time they had encountered a young offender.
"The same thing. Her young age isn't an excuse for breaking the law." He said as if he couldn't be bothered by the fact that Chen Li had to spend the next five years of her life behind bars.
"No. No. No. Please!" Chen Li slumped on the floor and clasped her hands together. "I'm going to confess my wrongdoings, but I really didn't purchase that fake dress! I took it from Su Xiaofei's private wardrobe."
Si Yixian and his assistant looked at her with a deep frown on their faces. Things were already like this, but she wasn't willing to let go of Su Xiaofei and was still insisting that she was set up by her.
"Can you prove it?" The inspector asked her. "Can you prove that Miss Su set you up? Do you know by insisting this, you are only proving that you've been stealing Miss Su's belongings?"
Chen Li stared at him, rendered speechless by his question. She then glanced at Su Xiaofei, seeing her cold, piercing look as she looked down at her. A cold shiver ran down Chen Li's spine as she couldn't take her eyes away from Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei certainly knew. She had set her up knowing this would happen. But how? Why did she do this to her?
She pulled her mother's arm and started crying hysterically. She could sense that Su Xiaofei wasn't planning to go easy on her this time.
"Mom, please help me! I don't wanna go to jail! Please!" Chen Li begged her mother. She was too young to serve time in the correctional facility for juveniles. This would surely leave a mark on her reputation even if she was freed later on.
Seeing her only daughter like this broke Housekeeper Chen's heart. She had never seen her Xiao Li in this state.
What should she do? How could this happen to them? How did they end up in this situation? She obviously knew the answers to these questions, but she wasn't willing to accept the truth!
