Chapter 136: Guidance
But Liang Qibin truly felt too ashamed to face his aunt-in-law.
She had returned because the family wanted her to help with a compatibility test for him, and now they intended to use her, even going so far as to have her kidnapped...
Although she was unharmed, Liang Qibin’s guilt only deepened.
Liang Siyuan simply patted his head.
Even though there wasn’t concrete evidence to convict Wei Wei, it was clear that the whole incident was a conspiracy between Wei Wei and Su Yikun.
His nephew was a good boy, but what Wei Wei did...
He couldn’t speak for Qin Miaoyu on whether to forgive or not, after all, she was the one who suffered.
Liang Siyuan let out a barely audible sigh.
Qin Miaoyu was not surprised to learn that Wei Wei refused to admit guilt; after all, she had understood what kind of person Wei Wei was ever since the incident a year ago.
Lu Qianan saw her silent and said, “Isn’t her goal to have Louis act as the main investor in Liang Corporation? Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
Without securing a huge investment, Liang Corporation wouldn’t survive this hurdle.
Qin Miaoyu asked, “How are you so sure you can convince Louis not to invest in Liang Corporation?”
“Just from Louis’s attitude, you can tell the chances of him investing are slim. Besides, he owes me a favor from before, so he wouldn’t go against me for a venture with no future.”
A smile flickered across Qin Miaoyu’s face. “That’s good.”
She was no saint; she couldn’t bring herself to defend Wei Wei and the Liang family after what they had done.
Before Liang Siyuan returned, Liang Sixuan arrived first at the Dongshan villa.
Without ringing the doorbell, she knocked furiously instead.
When the maid opened, she dashed inside.
“Qin Miaoyu, what have you done?”
Qin Miaoyu looked bewildered, completely at a loss about what Liang Sixuan was playing at.
“Stop pretending—did Su Yikun get arrested because of you?”
It turned out Liang Sixuan had woken up to several missed calls from the big sister-in-law on her phone.
Yesterday, in a good mood, she had gone to bed early and hadn’t answered any.
The big sister-in-law rarely called, so Liang Sixuan worried something important had happened and immediately called back.
But instead, she was told that Su Yikun had been taken to the police station because of Qin Miaoyu!
Her joy from yesterday turned into fury upon hearing the news.
Su Yikun could be arrested because of another woman, but never because of Qin Miaoyu!
She hung up, packed quickly, and rushed to the Dongshan villa.
Hearing Liang Sixuan’s question, Qin Miaoyu’s expression was unreadable—so Liang Sixuan had come rushing over without knowing the full story?
“Liang Sixuan, your husband kidnapped me and restricted my freedom. Isn’t it only natural he’d be taken to the police?”
Liang Sixuan could hardly believe it. “Are you saying Su Yikun kidnapped you?”
“Yes, along with Wei Wei. They conspired to use me.”
“Wei Wei?” Liang Sixuan’s voice sharpened instantly.
Qin Miaoyu and Zheng Suning both flinched at that sharp tone.
“Yes, Wei Wei.”
Liang Sixuan never imagined this twist. That morning, the big sister-in-law had called her... but she hadn’t said much...
Only telling her that Su Yikun was in the police station because Qin Miaoyu had gone in...
Biting her lip, Liang Sixuan pulled out her phone and called Wei Wei.
The call connected quickly. “Sixuan, why did you hang up so fast? Are you at the Dongshan villa to see Qin Miaoyu?”
“No, big sister-in-law. I was just called away by my mother-in-law, so I couldn’t continue the call.”
Since marrying into the Su family, Liang Sixuan had frequent contact with Wei Wei, who was well informed about her situation, so the excuse didn’t arouse suspicion.
Liang Sixuan pressed on, “Big sister-in-law, you said Yikun was taken to the police station because of Qin Miaoyu? What really happened?”
Wei Wei hesitated, “It’s complicated. Anyway, Yikun ended up in custody because of Qin Miaoyu. Qin Miaoyu is fine, but you need to find a way to get him out.”
Feigning anger, Liang Sixuan said, “All because of Qin Miaoyu? I even asked him if he was still hung up on her, but he denied it!”
“Men can’t be trusted. Anyway, you figure out how to get Yikun out,” Wei Wei quickly changed the subject.
Liang Sixuan tentatively asked, “But I don’t know how to get him released.”
Wei Wei replied, “You settle it with the person who got arrested. Yikun might have acted rashly, but Qin Miaoyu wasn’t hurt at all. If she can forgive him, then it’s easy.”
“So, big sister-in-law, should I go see Qin Miaoyu now?”
Wei Wei didn’t answer directly, saying, “That depends on what you want to do. I can’t make that decision for you.”
Passing the buck was her favorite move.
Liang Sixuan felt annoyed—how had she never realized this big sister-in-law was so good at talking her way out?
Not wanting to keep circling around the police issue, she shifted the topic directly to Qin Miaoyu.
“Big sister-in-law, why is Qin Miaoyu so charming? It’s been years since Su Yikun wanted to marry her, yet he still can’t let her go!”
On the other end, Wei Wei snorted, “Tell me about it. My Binnie likes her too. I don’t know what kind of spell she cast on him!”
The anger in her voice was unmistakable.
Liang Sixuan spoke loudly enough for Qin Miaoyu and Zheng Suning to hear.
Qin Miaoyu whispered to Zheng Suning, “Sister Suning, do you think the fuss she made with Su Yikun yesterday was because Binnie likes me, his aunt-in-law?”
“Very likely. While you were traveling this past year, every time we visited the Liang family’s old residence, she complained that Qibin was getting more rebellious and disobedient.”
Qin Miaoyu was speechless. Qibin disobeyed her, yet Wei Wei came to blame her—it made no sense!
But some people never cared for reason. Even now, Wei Wei was trying on the phone to manipulate Liang Sixuan into causing trouble for Qin Miaoyu.
If Liang Sixuan hadn’t come to her senses, she might have ended up regretting it just like Su Yikun after the deed was done.
Liang Sixuan hung up perfunctorily and sat silently on the sofa.
Qin Miaoyu and Zheng Suning ignored her, continuing their discussion about why Wei Wei insisted on stirring up trouble between Liang Sixuan and Qin Miaoyu.
They guessed and guessed without reaching a conclusion until Lu Qianan spoke up, and they suddenly understood.
“Wei Wei probably wants to divert attention. If Liang Sixuan is successfully led astray today, the focus shifts onto her. The bigger Liang Sixuan makes a fuss, the more Wei Wei can be overlooked.”
