Chapter 639: Here, This is For You
"Aunt Liu, who was it that left you in the side room of my mother’s house?" Suizi asked.
"I don’t remember... I fainted, and when I woke up, I was there." Liu Xi had cried for a long time before her emotions finally calmed down.
Her eyes were swollen; they did not appear to have just gotten so in a day.
Suizi recalled her mother-in-law mentioning that Liu Xi had been wearing sunglasses these last few days, suggesting that she had been crying nonstop.
"If you really didn’t see anything, you wouldn’t have stopped me from calling the police."
"I was.... I was thinking about your mother, yes, for her." Liu Xi paused, as if she had found the perfect excuse.
"Your mother is bound to marry Fan Huang sooner or later, right? You should know who Fan Huang is. If something like this happens in his fiance’s house, it would affect his career. I’m thinking of the bigger picture."
Liu Xi assigned all the responsibility to Chen Lijun. It was quite selfish, but it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
If this matter were to be made public, it would indeed cause some trouble for Fan Huang. He was not allowed to have any scandals associated with him.
"Aunt Liu, I reckon you’re a smart woman, so I won’t beat around the bush. I know who you’re trying to protect. You’re right that making all of this public wouldn’t be good for my parents. But with respect to losses, my family would experience less than yours. At most, my father would be temporarily troubled and once the truth is established, it would all be over. Your daughter, on the other hand, would be ruined."
Liu Xi looked at Suizi, her lips trembling. She seemed somewhat surprised that Suizi had guessed, but she quickly calmed down.
