Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 96 Instead of receiving news, the person arrived.

Having failed to gain anything from Su Miaoyi, Cai Qinglian was already feeling embarrassed and wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the surrounding relatives quickly stepped in to smooth things over and pulled Cai Qinglian into the inner room.

Su Miaoyi glanced at Ji Sheng again.

After considering it for a moment, Ji Sheng didn't step forward at that moment, but followed into the inner room.

Cheng Jue glanced at his parents, then at Su Miaoyi, and then sat down next to her.

Cheng Yong and Ge Yu did not go into the inner room either.

They were still angry with Ji Sheng and Cai Qinglian for lying to them last time.

"Sister," Cheng Jue called out to Su Miaoyi.

"Ok?"

"Why did they suddenly come?" Cheng Jue had been in training camp and had no idea what was going on.
"Ignore them," Su Miaoyi said.

Cheng Jue felt that they all treated him like a child and didn't talk to him about anything.

He frowned.

Su Miaoyi raised her hand and patted him on the back of the head.

Cheng Jue shrank his neck: "You hit me again."

"What's wrong with hitting you?" Su Miaoyi asked matter-of-factly.

Cheng Jue looked at her and said, "I'm going to hit you too."

"You dare?" Su Miaoyi said.

“I’m going to fight back,” Cheng Jue said.

"Try hitting me if you dare."

The two started arguing again.

Cheng Yong looked at the two of them with a smile.

Ge Yu said, "Be careful with that stove."

Meanwhile, Ji Sheng and Cai Qinglian were surrounded by their relatives in the inner room.

"Sit down, sit down," Auntie gestured to Cai Qinglian.

Cai Qinglian smiled, glanced at the sofa, but did not sit down.

Her aunt thought she was just being polite and tried to take her hand, but Cai Qinglian quickly dodged away.

The aunt paused, then awkwardly lowered her hand.

"Come on, have some tea." Auntie San brought over the tea.

There were so many people in the house that we didn't use teaware and just used disposable cups.

Cai Qinglian glanced at it, then looked at the color of the tea inside.

I don't even know what kind of tea it is.

Third Aunt offered a cup to Cai Qinglian, but Cai Qinglian did not accept it.

Auntie smiled and placed it aside: "If you get cold, you can use it to warm your hands."

Cai Qinglian tried to force a smile, but failed; her lips twitched slightly.

She didn't want to stay here anymore; she wanted to leave.

She looked at Ji Sheng.

Ji Sheng was surrounded by a group of men who asked him about his recent situation.

She watched Ji Sheng sit on the sofa, and couldn't help but show a look of disgust on her face.

The third aunt and the aunt-in-law exchanged a glance, then sat down without saying anything more.

Ji Sheng and I talked for almost two hours.

Cai Qinglian stood there in high heels for two hours.

At first, everyone talked to her, but seeing that she didn't respond much, they gradually stopped talking to her.

Cai Qinglian didn't want to come, but Ji Sheng insisted that she come.

Now that the Cai family has fallen on hard times, Ji Sheng is becoming increasingly impatient with her. He's also treating her worse and worse.

She wouldn't have come to a place like this or talked to people like this if she weren't worried about her marriage breaking down. The sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Ji Sheng finally got up and said he wanted to say a few words to Su Miaoyi. Everyone was sensible and did not follow him.

Su Miaoyi was standing outside, looking into the neighboring courtyard.

She heard the police siren and came out.

However, the walls around her house are high, so she can't see what's happening next door from inside the yard.

She heard footsteps behind her and turned around to look.

Ji Sheng came out and stood beside her.

Cheng Jue only had time to pour a glass of water when he saw Ji Sheng leave. Worried that Su Miaoyi was being bullied, he immediately wanted to go over, but Cheng Yong stopped him.

Cheng Yong frowned: "Don't go over there and disturb them."

After saying that, he added, "He wouldn't dare."

Cheng Jue looked at his father.

The phrase "he wouldn't dare" sounds like it implies that if Ji Sheng dared to bully his sister, he would be beaten to death.

He stood with his father, looking in their direction.

"You're here again because of Jiang Junrui?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Ji Sheng looked at her and said, "I know I didn't do a good job. I didn't raise you, and I have no right to ask you to do anything for the Ji family."

Su Miaoyi looked at the snow in the courtyard.

"But putting all that aside, isn't Jiang Junrui a good match? Even if you were raised in the Cheng family, or even if you grew up in the Ji family, it would be hard to find a family like that," Ji Sheng said.

"Then why do you think he insists on marrying me?" Su Miaoyi asked. "We're not a good match, we don't know each other, there's no emotional foundation between us, and I can't help his career at all. Why would he marry me? What? Because of my face?"

Ji Sheng was momentarily speechless, then said, "You two know each other."

“We’ve only met once, so we can’t really say we know each other. Are you trying to say he fell in love at first sight?” Su Miaoyi said. “If he really liked you, he would have approached me first, not you.”

“But what is ‘liking’ worth? In the end, everyone ends up the same way. Who cares about his purpose? Just marry him because of his purpose and secure a good life for yourself in the future, isn’t that good?” Ji Sheng said. “Love and affection are all fake in the end. Only money and power in your hands are real.”

"What about life?" Su Miaoyi finally looked at him.

Ji Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What if I marry him and die within a few days?" Su Miaoyi asked him.

Ji Sheng frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Miaoyi glanced at him, then looked at the snow in the courtyard: "I will not marry you. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Don't come again. I don't want to see you either. Your presence here makes me uncomfortable."

Ji Sheng took a deep breath: "Su Miaoyi, have you thought this through? If you miss out on the Jiang family, you'll never have another chance to marry into a family like that again."

Su Miaoyi smiled faintly: "I didn't come into this world to get married."

"It's ridiculous," Ji Sheng said. "The shortcut was right in front of you, but you didn't know how to seize it. Having missed out on someone like Jiang Junrui, do you think, with your current status, you'll ever be able to reach someone of his stature again? Will you ever be able to speak to someone like him again? You'll never be able to."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Is anyone home?"

Someone outside shouted.

Su Miaoyi was standing in a position that was blocked by the side room, so she couldn't see the doorway.

But that shout was all too familiar.

Instead of receiving a reply, the person showed up.

She immediately walked towards the door.

The people inside also came out.

Zhuang Yanzheng also took a few steps inside.

Su Miaoyi walked in front, and the two exchanged a glance.

Cheng Yong and his family of three had all met Zhuang Yanzheng before, and they all glanced at Su Miaoyi.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the large family and then took out his police ID: "I would like to ask you all some questions. I would appreciate your cooperation."

"It's not hard work at all. It's the New Year, you guys are the ones who are working hard. We will definitely cooperate."

"Yes, let's talk inside and have some hot tea. It's quite cold outside."

"Alright, thank you all for your help." Zhuang Yanzheng said, leading two policemen and the others into the room.
