My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 652 - 659 Splashed with Ink_1

Zhou Ziqing, who had been called to the police station, looked innocent and pitifully at the officer. "I didn’t hire anyone to frame Miss Lin. This is an absolute fabrication, a misunderstanding!"

Lin Xiangwan narrowed her eyes and laughed. "So, if you say it’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding? Let me tell you, I have witnesses and testimonies here. If you want to claim your innocence, then produce your evidence!"

Zhou Ziqing immediately pointed out Lin Xiangwan’s mistake. "Lin Xiangwan, the police haven’t charged me with anything yet. What gives you the right to accuse me of plotting against you? I’m telling you, I could sue you!"

Lin Xiangwan, recognizing her inability to fully control her anger, simply laughed in response. "OK, then you explain it to the police!"

As Su Yueze walked Lin Xiangwan out, he laughed slightly. "Miss Zhou, it seems you really need to provide a good explanation. But if you can’t make it clear, I don’t think... we’re going to let this go!"

Zhou Ziqing was taken to the interrogation room, and the police conducted a very detailed questioning.

She was able to answer all questions, playing the part of the innocent.

Even in the face of concrete evidence, she was able to fabricate lies.

The officers directly commented, "It seems... you often face police interrogations, so you can respond so smoothly, right?"

Zhou Ziqing gave a smile. "That’s certainly not the case, I just tell it like it is!"

"..." A police officer sneered and sternly looked at her. "But no matter how you argue, all the evidence is here, your suspicion can’t be washed away!"

"Uh..." Zhou Ziqing groaned quietly.

"If Miss Lin insists on prosecuting you, you are likely to lose!"

Zhou Ziqing sneered.

Eventually, Zhou Ziqing was let go, thanks to the intervention of Qin Gang.

"I really don’t understand, why do you want to provoke Lin Xiangwan?"

They were in a hotel room, and Qin Gang looked confused.

Zhou Ziqing was filled with rage. "This can’t be the end of the matter. I have to deal with that woman!"

"Don’t tell me you’re in love with Qin Muchuan!" Qin Gang asked, somewhat hurt.

Zhou Ziqing declined to acknowledge. "I’m not a masochist; why would I like him? I’m just not satisfied, Lin Xiangwan is better than me in everything..."

"Hmm..."

"So I must win over her!"

Qin Gang shook his head. "I think you should better address what’s in front of you first!"

*****

The moment Lin Xiangwan arrived back at her shop, she received a call from Zhou Ziqing. Over the phone, she was sobbing and begging for forgiveness. "I’m sorry, Wanwan, I really know I was wrong. Please don’t press charges, okay? Think about me and Duoduo, if I’m really held in custody, there’ll be no one to look after her!"

"..." Lin Xiangwan’s heart softened a little.

She wasn’t a heartless person; when the other party showed vulnerability, she found it hard to remain ruthless.

"Wanwan, if you feel that this apology over the phone doesn’t seem sincere, then I will apologize in person, kneel down before you, how does that sound?" Zhou Ziqing begged again.

"Do you really understand your mistake?"

"Really!" Zhou Ziqing was earnest.

Su Yueze shook his head and silently mouthed, "Don’t let her go!"

Lin Xiangwan glanced at him, then continued speaking to the person on the phone. "Zhou Ziqing, I don’t understand why you hate me so much, why you would use such despicable means against me! After all, you’ve already stolen Qin Muchuan from me. Isn’t that enough for you?"

"Yes, I don’t know why I’m so compelled to target you. I’m sorry, I really am..."

Zhou Ziqing said a lot more, every word an apology, every sentence a plea.

Lin Xiangwan forgave her.

The moment she hung up, Su Yueze was so angry he really wanted to strangle a certain woman. "If it were legal to kill, if you could still live after killing someone, I would absolutely want to kill you, you idiot!"

Lin Xiangwan laughed. "I know you definitely think I’m a fool!"

"You realize it too?"

"Of course I do!" Lin Xiangwan sighed and continued. "I keep saying I’m going to sue her, make her go to jail. But as you know, our country is unlike other countries. This kind of defamation crime is, at most, given a symbolic warning. Besides this, what else could I really expect? All I really wanted was for her to beg me..."

"..." Su Yueze didn’t speak, just continued listening to her.

"If I had her detained for ten or so days, it would only make her hate me more. Then she’d vent her anger on Tongtong and Ranran..." Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "That’s not what I want. I’ve decided to break up with Qin Muchuan and give him to her. Let her have a tantrum this time, it should be enough to satisfy her. After this, they can live their lives, and I can live mine, isn’t that enough?"

Su Yueze scoffed. "What you’ve just said theoretically makes sense, but that doesn’t mean it will play out that way in reality!".

"Since it can theoretically work, it means it’s half right. Let’s leave it at this..." She sighed.

*****

Tongtong and Ranran both sighed and shook their heads. "Our mother can endure even this, she must really have no intention of returning!"

"Yeah!"

Tongtong pouted. "Then what should we do to arouse our mother’s fighting spirit?"

"I don’t know!"

They too had snuck out of class to find their mother, only to witness the process of someone pestering her.

They had just seen Zhou Ziqing returning with an air of nonchalance; it was clear that their mother had forgiven her.

"Or maybe, we should stir up some trouble!" Ranran suddenly had a bright idea.

"What kind of trouble?" Tongtong was confused.

Ranran waved her over and whispered something into her ear.

Tongtong’s eyes lit up. "Good, let’s do it that way!"

*****

Knock, knock, knock——

There was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Zhou Ziqing asked from inside the room.

Tongtong acted nervously. "Auntie, it’s me, I need you for something!"

Zhou Ziqing opened the door and saw Tongtong’s anxious little face. "Tongtong, what happened?"

"Shh, Auntie, Ranran got into a fight at school today and his head is bleeding, can you come over and help him bandage it up, please?"

Zhou Ziqing had been looking for a chance to win the kids over. Now that an opportunity presented itself, she didn’t want to miss it. "Sure, I’ll go right now!"

Tongtong nodded forcefully. "Okay!"

Zhou Ziqing went to Ranran’s room and indeed saw gauze on his head. "Let Auntie see what’s happened to you!"

"Okay!"

Ranran lifted his small face, waiting for her to remove the gauze. However, in that very moment, Tongtong suddenly splashed a pot of ink on Zhou Ziqing. "Bad woman, how dare you hit my brother!"

The splattered Zhou Ziqing was caught off guard.
