Chapter 852: Chapter 854: Isn’t This Bullying?
Pei Yicheng furrowed his brows.
Ling Dong continued, "That so-called thief is just a thug named Liu Si, who’s currently in jail. I found out that before he went to prison, Liu Si was deep in debt, didn’t even have money for his son’s wedding. But suddenly, a few days ago, he received a sum of money, and the wedding alone cost three hundred bucks for the dowry, plus he even bought a bicycle."
"So, this thief is fake." Pei Yicheng put down the documents and let out a long sigh, feeling sorry for Nianhua.
The thief is fake, so Fang Yue’s story is also fake. Back then, Fang Yue abandoned Xu Nianhua because she was a daughter, leaving her under the Big Locust Tree.
A newborn baby was abandoned by her own mother. She was so tiny, and if not for the good fortune of being found by Xu Qinghe and his wife, who had just lost their daughter, what would have become of Nianhua?
"Hey Cheng, why are you up so early?" Xu Nianji was surprised to see Pei Yicheng had just returned from jogging outside when he got up at five-thirty. He thought he was already getting up early enough.
"Habit." Pei Yicheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and seeing Xu Nian’an also getting up, he went for another run outside with the Xu brothers. He told Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an everything Ling Dong had found out without omitting a single detail.
"The Gu Family, do they have no shame? Disdaining Little Sister because she’s a daughter and throwing her away? Now Little Sister can save their daughter, and they want to take her back? Isn’t this bullying?" Xu Nianji was so angry he wanted to curse. Though he always thought it was suspicious that the Gu Family claimed a thief stole Little Sister, if she was stolen, why was she abandoned under the Big Locust Tree?
But since the Gu Family said so, they had believed them for the time being. Now, with Pei Yicheng finding that fake thief, they could almost be certain Little Sister was abandoned by the Gu Family, and Xu Nianji’s heart ached!
Little Sister is so wonderful, how could the Gu Family bear to treat her like this?
"Hey Cheng, is there evidence for this?"
Compared to Xu Nianji’s impulsiveness, Xu Nian’an was more composed.
"Just wait a bit, and we’ll have the evidence." Pei Yicheng knew that getting the fake thief to admit he lied wouldn’t be accomplished in a day.
"Hey Cheng, once you have the evidence, please make sure to tell us," Xu Nian’an earnestly requested.
Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianji discussed it and decided to keep this news secret for now, not telling Little Sister to spare her from sorrow.
Seven o’clock.
Xu Nianhua had finished listening to the radio in her room and went to the kitchen early to make breakfast.
Today, she planned to make scallion egg noodles, with fried eggs golden on both sides. They looked absolutely appetizing, sprinkled with a bit of chopped scallions, the fragrant noodles were ready to be served.
"Little Sister, let me serve it."
"Little Sister’s cooking is amazing!"
"Whoever marries Nianhua will truly be blessed!"
Xu Nianji, Xu Nian’an, and Ji Shuyuan took turns praising Xu Nianhua.
Pei Yicheng first served a bowl of noodles to Grandpa Ji Xinghua, then with a bowl in hand, he said, "I’m the lucky one."
Pei Yicheng took a deep breath and started eating the noodles heartily. In no time, he finished a big bowl of noodles.
The three Xu brothers exchanged glances but had nothing to retort, so they just buried their heads and continued eating!
"Don’t worry, there’s more noodles in the pot!" Xu Nianhua saw how eagerly they were eating the noodles and quickly reminded them, worried they might choke.
