Chapter 7: Such a Vicious Scheme

“No way! How could Siqi possibly do something like that? Besides, didn’t she take the college entrance exam herself?”

The neighbors here still had a pretty good impression of Bai Siqi.

Mainly because Bai Siqi was good at putting on an act.

So, they found it hard to believe she would do such a thing.

“Yeah, she took the exam too. Maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding? My foot! Good thing my daughter got there in time, or else her acceptance letter would’ve ended up in Bai Siqi’s hands and we’d never get it back. You can ask the postman—right then, she pretended to be my daughter and took the acceptance letter from him. She even refused to give it back!”

“What, just because she couldn’t pass the exam herself, she thinks she can steal someone else’s? I wouldn’t be surprised if my daughter falling in the water was all part of this family’s dirty scheme. That way, she’d have time to snatch the acceptance letter.”

And as it turned out, Mother Fu was actually right about the truth.

Everyone was shocked.

They couldn’t believe it—was this for real?

Impossible, right?

But the way she spoke, so full of certainty, didn’t sound made up at all!

Just then, the Bai family’s front door suddenly swung open.

Out came Bai’s mother. She looked just as delicate as Bai Siqi, but right now her face was red with anger.

“Mingxue’s mom, how can you come to my house and spout such nonsense? You’re slandering us! My Siqi would never do such a thing—”

Mother Fu couldn’t hold back her temper at the sight of her.

“Slander you? Please! I don’t stoop to slandering people. I’m telling the truth. Your Bai Siqi might look sweet and innocent, but her heart is filthy. She couldn’t pass the exam herself, so she tried to steal my daughter’s acceptance letter? How shameless can you get?”

“Why doesn’t she come out here? Stop hiding inside and playing dead! If she doesn’t come out, I’m calling the police!”

The neighbors were once again stunned by her words—she was threatening to call the police now. Could this really be true?

Did she really try to steal someone’s acceptance letter?

Heavens, if that’s true, it’s just too wicked.

Their looks toward Bai’s mother changed.

Of course, Bai’s mother noticed the shift in their gazes, and she was about to explode from anger.

She’d spent years carefully building up her reputation, and now it was all being ruined by a shrew.

Her face took on a look of sorrow, as if she were the one being bullied. “Mingxue’s mom, if you insist on slandering my Siqi, fine, let’s call the police—”

After all, she had her good son-in-law, Song Yan.

The local police station would take care of things for them.

“Hah, you won’t cry until you see the coffin, huh? Just you wait.”

Mother Fu decided to head to the police station right away.

Just as she turned to leave, Fu Mingxue arrived.

Two men followed behind her.

One was dressed in a postal worker’s uniform, the other in a police uniform.

“Mom, this is an officer from the Chengxi police station. I just happened to run into him. We’re not going to the Chengdong station—they know too many of their ex-son-in-law’s buddies over there.”

“And I brought the postman too. If I hadn’t thought of it, that Song Yan would’ve tried to get him to change his statement!”

When Mother Fu heard her daughter’s words, she was furious all over again.

“He tried to get someone to change their statement? That bastard! Is he trying to bully a widow and her orphan? If he loves his wife so much, why does he have to mess with my family? And he wears a military uniform, too! I’m going to report him to the army—”

“That bastard, just to help his ex-wife steal my daughter’s acceptance letter, he even sent a matchmaker over to propose marriage just now. What a vicious, poisonous scheme!”

She practically spat out those last words through gritted teeth."
