The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Yan Yi behaved with an openness and fearlessness that shook Shen Mingzhu, who already lacked confidence.

Just as Yan Yi said, she had no evidence, only conjectures.

"How can you prove it?"

"Generally speaking, strangulation marks become visible within 1-2 days, and I was not in Fengcheng during these two days. I went to the Capital two days ago and returned to Fengcheng at 10 o’clock last night. After leaving the airport, I drove back to my residence to rest, and I did not go out until I received a call from the Zhong Family. The flight records at the airport, as well as the doorman at my building, can vouch for me."

In an era without mobile phones and the internet, even if Yan Yi wanted to tamper with records and collude with others, it would take time to make arrangements.

Yan Yi had the courage to take her directly to investigate, which likely meant he was telling the truth.

"As for the bite mark you mentioned, my relationship with Zhong Qing is not what you think. To be precise, we are merely business partners. Besides the title of an engaged couple, we have had no ambiguous or intimate interactions in private. When Zhong Qing wakes up, feel free to ask her to confirm this."

Shen Mingzhu thoughtfully replied, "I’m sorry, but I cannot just take your word for it right now. If I have indeed misunderstood you when Qingqing wakes up, I will apologize to you."

"I will be waiting for that."

Having said that, Yan Yi left first.
