Chapter 57 Coward
Ten minutes later, Sun Xiangbo ran to the villa, sweating profusely.
When he saw Luo Xun and Chi Xia, his expression became complicated, nervous, flustered, and he felt embarrassed that he even wore his slippers wrong.
Nie Qianyu, Sun Xiangbo's cheating partner and the little girl's mother, looked at Sun Xiangbo's panic and instead breathed a sigh of relief and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"Put them on." Nie Qianyu said to Sun Xiangbo, "Are these two your friends?"
She was actually a little nervous. If these two people were Liang Ruqing's friends, she would have been grabbed by the hair and cursed, or even yelled at, but the attitudes of these two people were quite good.
"Where are your parents?" Sun Xiangbo asked her first.
Nie Qianyu pointed to a room and said, "Dad is asleep, and Mom has taken the child in."
Seeing Sun Xiangbo sighed with relief and nodded, she suddenly asked, "Did something happen?"
Sun Xiangbo nodded dejectedly. He looked at Chi Xia and Luo Xun and said, "Officer, my father just had surgery and is still recuperating. Let's talk about it outside if we have anything to say."
Nie Qianyu's expression changed: "Police?"
She walked anxiously to Sun Xiangbo and asked, "What happened? Why are the police looking for you? Is it the company..."
The worry in her eyes didn't seem fake, and there wasn't a trace of complaint.
With outsiders present, Sun Xiangbo felt a little embarrassed. He pushed Nie Qianyu's hand away and said, "It's not my business. Let's talk about it outside."
Luo Xun and Chi Xia walked out first.
"Qianyu, Teacher Liang is dead." The moment the door was closed, Sun Xiangbo said to Nie Qianyu.
Nie Qianyu frowned: "What did you say? Who died?"
"Teacher Liang." Sun Xiangbo repeated, "It looks like suicide, but I think someone killed her."
Luo Xun and Chi Xia observed Nie Qianyu's expression. She suddenly turned pale and immediately looked at Sun Xiangbo with an inquiring look.
Sun Xiangbo smiled bitterly: "I swear on my parents' name, it's not me."
Chi Xia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nie Qianyu.
"Mr. Sun." Luo Xun interrupted them coldly: "Explain yourself. Didn't you swear that you didn't cheat?"
Sun Xiangbo looked guilty, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.
It was Nie Qianyu who spoke first. She looked like a very gentle woman, with a literary air, but there was still some displeasure in her expression when she looked at them.
She said, "Officer, if Liang Ruqing hadn't refused to divorce Xiang Bo, we wouldn't have been so secretive. He and I were already recognized by everyone, so it couldn't be considered cheating."
"Do you all agree?"
Chi Xia looked at her, smiling: "His parents' approval? Because you are willing to take care of his sick father and elderly mother, do you think you are a real family?"
Nie Qianyu's face flushed: "Yes, if she hadn't made everyone so miserable, we..."
She turned around and pointed at the villa: "We don't have to go out the front door every day and can only sneak out the back door. We don't have to be afraid to go out for a walk at night!"
Luo Xun said: "Isn't this because you feel guilty?"
"I feel guilty?"
Nie Qianyu's eyes turned red, and she sneered, pointing at Sun Xiangbo: "What about his parents? His parents also have to be sneaky, is it because they owe her Liang Ruqing something?"
Chi Xia and Luo Xun didn't say anything.
The door of the villa was opened, and Sun Xiangbo's mother came out.
Sun Xiangbo immediately walked up to her and asked, "Mom, what are you doing out here?"
Mother Sun pushed him away and looked at Chi Xia and Luo Xun: "Are you Xiao Liang's friends?"
"Police." Luo Xun said, "Liang Ruqing is dead."
"Who? Who... who's dead?" The old lady staggered , and was supported by Sun Xiangbo and Nie Qianyu: "Xiao Liang? Dead?"
"Yes." Luo Xun said, "She died. She jumped off the building, but we suspect it was not suicide."
The old lady immediately looked at her son and said, "Xiang Bo, tell me the truth. Don't hide anything. Is this matter related to you?"
Sun Xiangbo looked helpless: "Mom, it wasn't me. Besides, I firmly believe that she didn't commit suicide."
"It's good that it's not you..."
Sun's mother seemed to trust her son very much. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Comrade police officer, we are all honest people in the family. We just want to live a stable life. If we had no other choice, we wouldn't have come to this point... Now we are in this situation..."
"What do you mean?" Luo Xun asked curiously, "Are you saying that Sun Xiangbo has two homes in one neighborhood?"
This would be unpleasant for anyone, and Sun Xiangbo's neck turned red with guilt.
“We did something wrong first.”
Mother Sun was not angry: "We accept what you said, but Xiao Liang is a child who really doesn't get along with us. We can't let my child just... continue to waste time with her like that, right?"
Chi Xia sneered, attracting everyone's attention.
"Auntie, how is your relationship with your granddaughter Sun Lin?" Chi Xia asked her.
"Linlin..." The old lady's expression flickered for a moment: "She is my granddaughter, I must love her very much..."
"No."
Chi Xia shook her head. "Sun Lin has a very good relationship with Liang Ruqing. She only goes home twice a week and occasionally doesn't come back when she's on a business trip. So, it's even more impossible for her to visit her grandparents often. Maybe Liang Ruqing doesn't allow her to come either. So your feelings for her are completely different from the feelings you have for the child you just called Nannan."
The old lady's thoughts were touched and her expression was complicated. She opened her mouth but in the end she didn't say anything and just let out a sigh.
"You all don't like Liang Ruqing." Chi Xia continued, "Because you think she is mean, stubborn, and she gets stuck in a rut. She says hurtful things."
She looked at Sun Xiangbo: "Mr. Sun, was she like this when you first got together with her? Was she like this when you first got married?"
Sun Xiangbo shook his head subconsciously.
"Yes, she wasn't like this before."
Chi Xia said: "She suffered from the pain of favoring boys over girls since she was a child. She couldn't even take care of her own mother, and even let her die in such pain. Where were you at this time?"
Sun Xiangbo's lips moved but he couldn't speak.
"You didn't care about her, did you?" Chi Xia asked him back.
"I... I was also very busy during that time..." He defended himself: "Besides, what can I do about her family situation? Don't you know her father and her brother..."
"Do you know why you married her? Did she hide your situation from you in the beginning?"
Sun Xiangbo was silent for a few seconds and shook his head stiffly.
"Do you know why she refuses to divorce you?" Chi Xia asked again.
Sun Xiangbo looked up blankly: "Why?"
Chi Xia glanced at Luo Xun, and Luo Xun took out another letter that Liang Ruqing had stuffed into his hands in his study.
That was Liang Ruqing’s real monologue.
"She refused to divorce because she wanted to wait for her daughter to get married. She hoped that her daughter could have her wedding with both her parents alive."
"She also said in this letter that she will divorce you when her daughter gets married."
"And." Chi Xia stared at him with burning eyes: "We asked you why you think Liang Ruqing didn't divorce, and you said she didn't want to divide the family property."
"no."
Chi Xia sneered, " Mr. Sun , she has already discovered the fact that you cheated on her. As for the family property that you care about most, she secretly transferred the property in order to provide more protection for her daughter. She did not do it for herself, but because she did not want her child to suffer."
You were so unkind in the first place, why should she be righteous?
When Chi Xia finished saying this, Sun Xiangbo's face had already turned blue and purple, as did his mother and Nie Qianyu.
"Madam, do you think he loves you?" Chi Xia suddenly turned his gaze to Nie Qianyu.
Nie Qianyu's expression changed several times, and she nodded with certainty: "We love each other very much."
Chi Xia pulled the corner of his lips: "I hope it's as you wish."
He was just a selfish, cowardly man, yet he was so arrogant that he set up two homes in the same place.
Nie Qianyu felt that her smile was very irritating. She frowned and said, "We have never done anything wrong to Liang Ruqing. She just refused to let go! This is the truth."
Luo Xun really couldn't bear to listen any longer, and was even more afraid that Chi Xia would say something too provocative.
He sneered and said, "According to Sun Xiangbo, he and Liang Ruqing have been separated for three and a half years. If I'm not blind, the child just now should be at least four years old, right?"
"How old are you?" He tilted his head: "Don't lie to me."
Under his gaze, Nie Qianyu clenched her hands and said in a humiliating tone, "Four and a half years old."
"Yeah, he's four and a half years old." Luo Xun raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it obvious that he cheated? What are you guys so confident about?"
Sun Xiangbo lowered his head even lower.
"There was no emotion in the first place!" Sun's mother spoke for her son.
"If there is no love, then divorce. If she doesn't want to divorce, then use legal means. Is that difficult?" Chi Xia said calmly: "In this world, if a man wants a divorce, there are plenty of ways, right?"
This time, even Luo Xun looked at her.
He could see that the woman was very angry now.
