Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 316 - 284: A Life Fraught with Misfortune—Who Can Control Fate?

Chapter 316: Chapter 284: A Life Fraught with Misfortune—Who Can Control Fate?

"Alright, no problem, you left the countryside, living in the city center, Uncle Chenggong’s career is flourishing, and you’ve escaped the hard days."

"How great is that? Whose eyes aren’t looking forward? But Zhou Wenxiu, your father-in-law, your husband’s old father, you just left him behind!"

"Uncle Chenggong treated him as his own father, since you left, you’ve rarely gone back, every time you do, it’s either to ask for land or inheritance..."

Su Xiaomeng said these words, and the more she spoke, the more ridiculous it seemed...

"The land and property are ours, why shouldn’t we ask for them?"

"You want the money, but you won’t take care of the elderly."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Right, you took care of him, put him in a nursing home, locked him up like a prisoner! Zhou Wenxiu, how can a person’s heart be so malicious?"

"Whatever you’re entitled to, hasn’t Third Grandpa given them to you? When you married Uncle Chenggong, you didn’t want the gold ring passed down by Third Grandpa and Grandma, insisted on a diamond ring like the city women!"

"Third Grandpa sold the gold ring, even sold some of his wife’s dowry, to barely afford a small diamond ring for you, fearing you wouldn’t agree to marry."

"Third Grandpa treated you like his own daughter, even if you resented this and that."

"The old man aged, reaching the end of his life, and you blame this on me?"

Zhou Wenxiu thought what Su Xiaomeng said was utterly laughable.

She never thought she was wrong, only that her life was tough, finally escaping Su Family Village, squeezing into the high society.

She would absolutely not let an old man devalue her.

"Originally, it wasn’t meant to be blamed on you, but now, you’ve even gone so far as to hire a killer, I think forcing Third Grandpa to death wouldn’t be such a hard thing for you."

"Su Xiaomeng, I warn you to stop spewing nonsense."

Xiao Meng saw Zhou Wenxiu still refusing to admit, so she picked up the recorder on the coffee table, playing the confessions of those criminals for her to hear.

Zhou Wenxiu’s face slowly turned pale...

"Those bastards, they clearly agreed to take money to do the job, and wouldn’t talk even if caught!"

Su Xiaomeng, hearing this, truly found Zhou Wenxiu laughable, yet somehow... she couldn’t laugh.

"That’s murder... My dad at least called you cousin, your husband and my dad have a blood relation! Aunt Wenxiu, how could you do it? How could you..."

Zhou Wenxiu looked at Su Xiaomeng’s incomprehensible face, sneered, "Don’t act all pitiful here, don’t look at me with that ’you’re innocent, I’m evil’ expression, Su Xiaomeng, you think I don’t know?"

"Jianyi couldn’t pass the investigation, his position dropped repeatedly, and now he’s in jail! It was all you secretly causing trouble!"

"That deputy mayor told Jianyi before he committed suicide in prison, saying we’ve offended Yin Shixiu. Ha... offended Yin Shixiu?"

Zhou Wenxiu looked at Yin Shixiu, "Aren’t you just a nouveau riche? What’s so amazing about you? Is it because you can’t stand your father-in-law being trampled under my husband’s foot, that’s why you schemed against us?!"

"You can spend money to ruin Su Jianyi’s reputation, destroy my family, can’t I spend money to let you taste the same?"

"That Su Chengji looks honest, but he’s sharper than anyone! Having a rich son-in-law, he doesn’t know how to flaunt it enough!"

"Dare you say it wasn’t Su Chengji speaking ill of us in your ear, making you come after us?"

Yin Shixiu looked at her, "You think I have that much free time?"

"What do you mean?"

"Politics is like a battlefield, the higher you stand, the more people watch you, isn’t there a few people eyeing the chair your husband sat in?"

"Corruption, bribery, unfilial, unjust, just these four charges are enough to leave your husband with no means of turning over. Do I need to do anything about it? Spend money to do it too?"

Yin Shixiu smirked a bit.

"You think saying this will make me believe?"

"The charges against your husband, the evidence unearthed, do you really not know if they’re true or fabricated?"

"He’s done such things, he deserves such punishment."

Yin Shixiu coldly watched Zhou Wenxiu, "Does a corrupt official really think he can continue to rise continuously?"

"You’re just arguing! I know it’s you! If not for your scheming, no one would have investigated him!"

"The deputy mayor has already stepped down, do you think your husband is anybody?"

"Ms. Zhou, you’re really not worth my effort."

Yin Shixiu’s disdain made Zhou Wenxiu so angry her eyes turned red.

He just wanted to leave Zhou Wenxiu suspicious, leave her bewildered and indecisive.

Make her not even know how she died in the end!

"But your guts are quite something, hiring a killer... not bad. Really."

"What do you mean?"

"Your husband should be very happy, he originally only needed to spend some ten odd years in prison, coming out could still make a living, now it’s great, he has a murderous wife accompanying him, just add malicious defamation, deliberate revenge, the couple committing murder together..."

Cold sweat dripped down Zhou Wenxiu’s face...

Her back drenched.

"A couple should face life and death together. Your husband ended up like this all thanks to marrying a fine woman like you."

Yin Shixiu walked to a camera on the wall, saying, "Your parents can be freed, but you? Student Su Li Hao... have you ever thought you’d be harmed to this stage by the mother who supposedly loved you so much on the surface?"

Zhou Wenxiu’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Yin Shixiu moved his body away so Zhou Wenxiu could see the camera.

"Hao Hao... Hao Hao..."

Su Xiaomeng looked at Zhou Wenxiu, took a soft breath, "Greed is insatiable, Zhou Wenxiu, a woman as vicious as you, probably only has yourself in both heart and mind..."

"You have never truly considered your husband, whether in actions or in life, you just wanted a luxurious life, you also never considered your son."

"My dad is lucky, he didn’t die, but another person, a very innocent person, died..."

"No one forced you, no one framed you, killing demands a life, evil will be repaid with evil. You brought this upon yourselves."

"...I didn’t kill anyone!"

At this point, Zhou Wenxiu suddenly shouted out, as if realizing the consequences of the event which she couldn’t bear...

Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng left the room.

Xiaomeng only felt a heavy pressure in her chest...

She really couldn’t understand...

How can there be such malicious people in this world, towards their family, towards their blood relatives, disregarding children, disregarding husband...

Doing such cruel things.

Looking at Zhou Wenxiu’s abhorrent face, Su Xiaomeng felt like she turned into a demon in an instant.

Her entire body’s blood rushed to her head, almost to the point of dizziness.

Another part of that blood surged to her palms...

Wishing, wishing to find a dagger and stab directly into Zhou Wenxiu’s heart.

She knew, if her dad really died, she would definitely do it!

Yin Shixiu could clearly feel Xiaomeng’s trembling shoulders, anger, injustice, resentment...

When Old Master Yin told him that he acted too rashly on Su Jianyi’s matter, he didn’t admit it, even felt that given the chance again, he would do the same.

But seeing Xiaomeng like a fool at this moment, shaken and resentful by a vicious woman’s behavior.

He had a tiny bit of regret...

Maybe, just let things take their natural course, maybe don’t arrogantly think he can handle it well, can let Xiaomeng vent, can—

"Do you think I would blame you?"

Xiaomeng suddenly asked.

Yin Shixiu was shocked.

Xiaomeng looked up at him, took a deep breath, "Are you afraid I would think, if you hadn’t intervened in Su Jianyi’s matter, my parents wouldn’t have been retaliated against?"

Yin Shixiu looked at her...

He couldn’t shake his head to deny.

"Shixiu, I remember it clearly, I was the one who asked you to seek revenge for me..."

Su Xiaomeng felt very sad, "Do you know how thrilled I was when I asked you to seek revenge for me back then?"

"Just felt it was great you had power and influence... it was my wicked thought that brought suffering to my parents, it was me—"

"Stop talking."

Yin Shixiu couldn’t listen any longer, he pulled her into his arms.

"Sob, sob..."

"Meng Meng...we weren’t wrong. We really weren’t wrong..."

"Sob, sob, sob..."

"Su Jianyi’s embezzlement and bribery are facts, what I did was no more than a report. If even this is wrong, then this society has become too terrifying..."

Xiaomeng gripped tightly onto Yin Shixiu’s clothes...

"No one expected Zhou Wenxiu to retaliate, no one could have predicted that young man would die."

"I feel so heartbroken... how could she be so malicious? Our family owes Hong Shu’s family a life... I feel so heavy."

Xiaomeng’s heart was tormented, at the thought of someone dying for her father.

At the thought of such a bloody incident happening in her own family, it made her back feel cold...

"I promise, Meng Meng...this will never happen again, never."

At this moment, Yin Shixiu truly realized...

In this life, having money, power, and influence can’t control everything.

Fate is unpredictable, no one can control it.

The next day, rain fell in Chengdu, mixed with autumn wind, making the weather suddenly cold.

Su Xiaomeng hurried from Beijing, didn’t bring enough clothes, it was fine in the hotel and hospital, but walking outside, she felt cold.

Zhou Wenxiu was sent to the detention center.

Mr. Yin had called his private lawyer the previous night, and the lawyer rushed over overnight.

In the morning, he went to the police station with Yin Shixiu.

During these days, Su Chengji had not woken up, but fortunately, all his body functions were in recovery.

According to the capable surgeon, if he doesn’t wake up tonight, he will definitely wake up tomorrow.

Xiaomeng knew Dad would still return.

But the worry, confusion, fear, frustration, oppression, and breakdown of these days didn’t dissipate as things were moving in a good direction.

Su Xiaomeng felt as if a thousand-pound stone was weighing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

In the middle of the night, she would also be frightened awake by those terrifying and horrifying scenes in her dreams.
