Chapter 233-235

Liang Xiuqin received a call from the police station telling her that Liang Xinyi had been detained for theft. She was asked to go to the police station to deal with it. When she heard that Liang Xinyi had caused her trouble again, Liang Xiuqin was so angry that she almost smashed the phone to pieces. After Liang Xinyi had come to the Yun family’s house, not only hadn’t she done anything good for her, but she was always causing her trouble and bringing her shame. The previous incident at the parent conference had already brought her plenty of shame. Now she could no longer show her face at any parent conferences. Liang Xinyi really was an idiot who gave her trouble instead of good fortune. If it hadn’t been for the fact that Liang Xinyi was still somewhat useful, she probably wouldn’t have gone to the police station to find out what was going on with her. If word of this got out, her reputation would be even more ruined. When Liang Xiuqin arrived at the police station, Liang Xinyi started crying hysterically. She seemed extremely pitiful. “Auntie, make them let me out. I don’t want to stay here!” After being yelled at by the police and seeing a few gangsters being locked up due to fighting, Liang Xinyi, who had always been pampered by her parents, felt extremely fearful and resentful. She had never been to such a place before, and she knew how it would affect her future. She couldn’t think about anything else now. “How dare you cry? Liang Xinyi, you’ve got some nerve! You have been taught a decent way to live, but now you steal things instead!” “Aunt, I didn’t... It’s all because of that wretched girl Yun Xi. She is the one who incriminated me.” “She harmed you, and you have been so stupid that you didn’t fight back?” “I wanted to, but that wretched girl is too clever...” “Be quiet!” Before Liang Xinyi could finish complaining, the policeman Xiao Tang, who couldn’t bear to listen to them anymore, slammed the table and interrupted her. Liang Xiuqin shot Liang Xinyi a vicious glare and then turned to look at the documents that she was supposed to be signing. “Documents? What’s going on? Is there some sort of misunderstanding here? My kid definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.” “The school surveillance camera has captured the crime. She really stole the things. We policemen pay extreme attention to evidence in handling such cases. We don’t accuse anyone without hard evidence.” Xiao Tang passed a financial valuation of the stolen items to Liang Xiuqin. “This is the value of what she stole. Although the circumstances are not serious, according to the Criminal Law, stealing property with a value of less than 10,000 yuan warrants a sentence of two to three years in prison.” “Two years? You are joking. How can you sentence her just because of such little things?” When Liang Xiuqin heard that Liang Xinyi was going to be sentenced, she slammed her fists down on the table and stood up. “If you don’t understand the law, you can get a lawyer.” Xiao Tang raised his head impatiently and handed a form to her. “This is the file. Since she committed the crime of stealing, she can’t be released on bail for seven days. You can come back and pay her bail in seven days.” “What do you mean? You plan to detain her for seven days? How can you be like this? She can’t be bailed out even if we pay?” “She must be detained for seven days and can be released on bail after seven days. We are acting according to protocol, and this is how it must be.” Liang Xiuqin’s face became stiff upon hearing that Liang Xinyi was going to be imprisoned for seven days. If Liang Xinyi’s story spread around, her future would be compromised. She would never be able to marry up the social ladder. Who would marry someone with a criminal record? At that point, what would be the use of spending so much money to nurture her? If there was no longer any way she could marry up socially, why did Liang Xiuqin need to do anything for her? “I don’t agree. Do you know who I am? My husband is a vice president.” “Even if your husband comes over, we will handle it in the same way. What do you think this place is? If you have any comments, you can file a complaint against us.” “Ah, what’s up with your attitude! How can you be such a snobby person? How insufferable. I will file a complaint against you.” “Do whatever you want.” “You don’t think I will do you? Just you wait!” “Auntie, don’t talk nonsense with them. We must find a way to get me out! I don’t want to stay here!” “Shut up!” Liang Xiuqin shot her a vicious look, but, unable to bear being trivialized, she took out her phone to make a call. 　 .......... ............... .............. #Chapter 234 When the phone call connected, Liang Xiuqin told Yun Yuanfeng about the incident. 　 　 Before she could finish complaining, Yun Yuanfeng scolded her and told her to get home immediately and stop causing trouble for him. 　 　 Feeling aggrieved after being scolded, Liang Xiuqin felt a burning rage boil up inside her, and she shook with fury. 　 　 After failing to garner any support from Yun Yuanfeng, she glanced at Liang Xinyi, who was still crying, and she snorted. “I guess you should suffer the consequences of the trouble you caused for yourself. The police have said that you will be detained for seven days. I will bail you out after seven days.” 　 　 “Aunt, you can’t treat me like this! I don’t want to stay here! You must make them let me out! Where’s my uncle? You can ask my uncle for help. He is so influential that they will definitely let me out.” 　 “This is a critical period concerning your uncle’s promotion. His every move is being scrutinized for something that others can use to blackmail him. Do you want to ruin him?” 　 　 After being scolded by her husband, Liang Xiuqin had come to her senses. 　 　 Compared to Liang Xinyi, this idiot, of course, her husband’s future was more important. 　 　 “Even if you don’t want to stay here, it serves you right for doing something so stupid as stealing. I’m warning you, if you don’t learn from this experience, I may not even bail you out in seven days. The bail is a large amount of money, and even your parents wouldn’t be able to provide such a large amount of money. You really need to think about what you have done.” 　 　 It distressed Liang Xiuqin when she thought about how much money the bail was. 　 　 Before she had received any benefits from Liang Xinyi, she had to drop a large sum of money on her. What a huge loss! 　 　 If she proved to be of no value to her in the future, she would definitely kick her back to the countryside. 　 　 Upon seeing Liang Xiuqin’s indifferent, cold eyes, Liang Xinyi immediately felt crestfallen. 　 　 The resentfulness and fury inside her were like a blunt knife stabbing a wound, again and again, giving her a dull and aching pain. 　 　 Their relationship had always been that of mutual exploitation, but she had overestimated her position in Liang Xiuqin’s heart. 　 　 She’d tried her best to drive that little b*tch Yun Xi back to the countryside. Although she’d failed, she’d done all this for Liang Xiuqin, as this was her goal. 　 She thought that even if she hadn’t praised her, she could show forgiveness for her efforts. 　 　 But, in the end, everything, including family affection, was all fake. 　 　 She was just a pawn, a pawn of Liang Xiuqin’s desires for exploitation. 　 　 Li Sinuo, who had completed all the jail procedures, followed her father with red eyes. 　 　 Liang Xinyi yanked her back and glared at her fiercely, as she asked angrily, “Why can you go, but I have to be detained?” 　 　 Li Sinuo yanked her hand away and mustered an extremely ugly grimace. There was contempt on her face. 　 　 If it hadn’t been for Liang Xinyi’s incompetence, she wouldn’t be in such a miserable situation. She had almost succeeded in taking down that wretched girl Yun Xi! 　 　 She had fallen to where she was today partly because of Liang Xinyi. 　 　 “It wasn’t me who stole the things, so who can you blame but yourself for your own stupidity?” 　 　 According to their scheme, she was only responsible for luring Yun Xi upstairs and pushing her inside. All the other parts of the plan had nothing to do with her. 　 　 Liang Xinyi was different. She had been directly involved in the theft, so her crime was heavier. 　 　 This was a shameful matter. Li Sinuo’s father pulled her over and gave Liang Xinyi a cold glare, then led his daughter out of the police station. 　 　 Upon thinking of the personal sacrifices she’d made for the scheme, including the photo and the detention, Liang Xinyi really regretted it. She didn’t get anything, and she’d ruined her precious reputation. 　 　 Upon thinking about all of this, her hatred for Yun Xi, the culprit, exploded. ... Upon hearing that Liang Xinyi and Li Sinuo had gotten sent to the police station, Zhao Yumo was so happy that she jumped off the steps and hugged Yun Xi. 　 　 “D*mn, Yun Xi, you are so impressive! You have to be merciless toward those two, who are too big for their britches.” 　 　 “That’s enough, you don’t have to be so dramatic and use these idioms. Liang Xinyi sacrificed so much to help Han Wanling. I’m actually more curious about what benefits she got from Han Wanling.” 　 　 Speechless, Zhao Yumo rolled her eyes. “Even Sun Ming, the pervert, was involved, so what could it be?” 　 　 “Even if she got full marks on the P.E. section of the college entrance examination, if her grades were still bad, she won’t be able to get into university. Moreover, after this incident, the school will definitely expel her.” 　 　 “Then Liang Xinyi will really suffer a huge loss. Sacrificing herself and getting nothing, hahahahaha! She’s so stupid!” 　 　 “She didn’t necessarily get nothing. Perhaps Han Wanling will arrange a good school for her.” 　 　 “Since she’s getting kicked out, from now on you will be able to come to school with peace of mind.” 　 　 “That’s true.” .................... ............................ #Chapter 235 As Yun Xi was getting ready to leave school at the end of the day, her homeroom teacher gave her Liang Xinyi’s expulsion notice and asked her to take it home to her parents. 　 　 Putting the notice in her bag, Yun Xi first had to go to the hospital. 　 　 At the hospital, Xiang Yuanjiu was sitting by a bed peeling apples when Yun Xi knocked on the door carrying a fruit basket. 　 　 “Girl, you’re here!” 　 　 Upon seeing her, Xiang Yuanjiu put down his knife and walked over to take the fruit basket from her. 　 　 “You told me not to go to school to wait for you, so I came directly to the hospital.” 　 Yun Xi nodded and didn’t reveal that he had had trouble with the police in front of his mother. 　 　 Surreptitiously, she then gave a sum of money to his underlings and asked them to go to the police station to pay his bail. 　 　 “Auntie, how do you feel?” Yun Xi stepped forward and carefully observed Xiang Yuanjiu’s mother’s vitality signs, which were better than she’d expected. 　 　 “I’m fine. Sorry for making you two worry.” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled, said a few comforting words in a soft voice, and turned to look at Xiang Yuanjiu. “Has the doctor told you the results yet?” 　 　 “I don’t think he has them yet. They only came today to check her condition. The date of the surgery hasn’t been set yet.” 　 　 “Well, you come with me to the doctor to ask about the situation.” 　 　 Yun Xi said goodbye to Xiang Yuanjiu’s mother and led Xiang Yuanjiu straight to the treating physician’s office. 　 　 The treating physician was a male doctor in his 30s. According to Chen Yichen, he was the most promising cardiologist in the hospital. 　 　 Yun Xi knocked on the door politely and, only when she’d gotten an answer, did she push the door open. 　 　 “Doctor Zhang, hello.” Yun Xi stepped forward and sized up the gentleman in front of her. 　 　 Upon seeing Yun Xi entering his office, Zhang Shuo looked up from his work. The last time young master Chen had brought her to the hospital and introduced her, all the senior officials in the hospital had attended the meeting. He’d happened to have an operation at that time, so he hadn’t met this girl. Later, though, on one of his trips downstairs, he’d seen her in the elevator. 　 　 He’d only seen her once, but he remembered this girl who had left a strong impression on him. 　 　 He glanced at Xiang Yuanjiu, who was standing behind her, and he immediately knew which patient they had come to see him about. 　 　 Most doctors were arrogant, so Yun Xi dared not be too intrusive. After all, she still needed his help in saving a life. 　 　 “Have the results for the patient in Room 32 come out yet? Do you mind if I inquire about the situation?” 　 　 “It’s all here, so feels free to read it for yourself.” Zhang Shuo flipped through a document, then handed it to her. 　 　 Yun Xi glanced at it for several minutes, calculated the risks of the operation, then asked about the stents and medical products needed for a heart bypass. 　 　 Zhang Shuo raised his head in surprise. Since she knew about the import company and model of the bracket needed, obviously she had expertise in this area. 　 　 “I heard that you treated old Madame Chen’s hemiplegia?” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled, but she didn’t take credit for it. “I just did my best. The old Madame has good luck.” 　 　 “Being too humble borders on arrogance. I didn’t expect you to have so much medical expertise at such a young age.” 　 　 “Uh...that would be an exaggeration. My dream is to become a doctor, so perhaps I will be a colleague of yours in the future.” 　 　 Zhang Shuo chuckled lightly. This girl’s temperament really appealed to him, and she had so much potential. 　 “Since you are interested in medical studies, I’m recruiting assistants next year. Do you want to come study here?” 　 　 Yun Xi shook her head. “I’m about to take the college entrance examination. I can only consider my future aspirations after the college entrance examination is over.” 　 　 Zhang Shuo didn’t pressure her. “This patient’s operation is scheduled for next Monday. You should already know about the risks after seeing those results. I won’t say any more, and you can explain everything to the family members.” 　 　 Yun Xi tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Okay...” 　 　 How perfunctory he was! 　 　 Wasn’t he blatantly bullying a young person? 　 　 Just because she’d rejected his proposal to become a disciple, he’d become passive-aggressive. One really...couldn’t judge a book by its cover! 　 　 After leaving the office, Yun Xi explained the risks of the operation to Xiang Yuanjiu and told him that he didn’t have to worry about the costs of the operation. 　 　 “I know. The doctors told me that someone had already paid for the cost of the operation. This money... I will pay you back in the future.” 　 　 “We can have that conversation some other day. You can tell me your decision about becoming a soldier after you think about it.” 　 　 “No need, I’ve already thought about it. I will definitely go!” 　 　 Xiang Yuanjiu gazed at her with determination and an uncharacteristic tenderness in his gloomy eyes. 　 　 He wanted to better himself and become good enough in the eyes of society, even if it was simply for the right to stand by her side. 　 　 “Okay, I will arrange the rest. I can’t come during the operation because I have class. Come find me if you need me.” 　 　 “Thank you, Yun Xi...” 　 　 “You’re welcome. I’m also helping myself. I’m going home now. You take good care of Auntie!” 　 　 Waving good-bye, she turned and walked directly to the elevator. 　 　 Xiang Yuanjiu looked at the distant figure walking away, and he felt as if she had also walked into his heart.
