Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife

305 A Clue

“The Ji family sent so many people to search around the river, but they couldn’t find any trace of Xiaoyu. Yet, you managed to find her. Who told you about this place?” Ji Lingchen asked.

“CEO Ji, don’t spout nonsense. I didn’t harm Xiaoyu. If I could have saved either one of you, I would’ve. If I could’ve saved you both, you’d be especially grateful to me. Obviously, I would’ve saved her if I could. It was a coincidence that I found her body. I can’t explain it, but it’s the truth.”

“When did I say you harmed Xiaoyu?”

Mr. Lin was at a loss for words.

!!

Ji Lingchen continued, “And did you know? Xiaoyu is not dead.”

“That’s impossible!” Mr. Lin said in disbelief.

“How can you be so sure?” Ji Lingchen’s gaze darkened.

Mr. Lin’s heart skipped a beat and he fell silent.

Old Master Ji finally could not take it anymore. He stepped forward and slapped Mr. Lin. “Hurry up and tell me!”

Mr. Lin said, “I… I found the child’s body and called the police. I don’t know who she is. The forensic doctor identified her as Xiaoyu.”

He had deliberately led the case to that forensic doctor because the forensic doctor who had done the blood test had gone missing.

Mayor Ji had also seen the case file. The forensic doctor surnamed Liu resigned after testing the blood of ” Xiaoyu’s ” body. There was no news about it until today. The Ji family was at a dead end.

That night, Ji Lingchen went to pick up the three students and bring them home. When they reached home, the first thing Fang Xiaonuan did was drag her husband back to the bedroom. She sniffed and looked at his body, wanting to see if there were any lipstick marks on his clothes or whether he smelled like perfume.

Ji Lingchen pulled his little wife over. “There’s nothing. Women can’t even come close to me.”

Only then did Fang Xiaonuan let her husband off and asked, “Hubby, did you learn anything from the Lin family today?”

Ji Lingchen shook his head. “I didn’t manage to find out anything. Did Xiaoyu mention anything about what happened back then?”

“She did.” Fang Xiaonuan repeated what her friend had told her to her husband.

Ji Lingchen fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan knew that her husband was thinking, so she did not disturb him and went to wash up.

Meanwhile, Liu Siyu had been living with the Ji family for three days. Old Master Ji asked his daughter, “Xiaoyu, are you willing to restore your old identity as Ji Xiaoyu?”

Liu Siyu looked at her cautious father and felt sad. She said, “I’m willing to, but can I go home first?”

“Hahahaha!” Old Master Ji laughed out loud. “Okay, okay, I will send you home.”

“I want to go back by myself,” Liu Siyu said.

After school, the Ji family did not interfere with wherever Liu Siyu wanted to go. She said goodbye to her friend and went to the police station.

“Brother.”

Liu Siyan saw his sister the moment he got off work. “Xiaoyu, what are you doing here? Did the Ji family bully you? Or are you not used to it? Did you suffer?”

Liu Siyu smiled and held Liu Siyan’s arm. She leaned on his shoulder and said, “My brother has always been the one to pick me up from school since I was young. I want to pick you up today.”

Liu Siyan looked at his younger sister, who had suddenly become obedient, and asked, “Do you want to change your name back to Ji Xiaoyu?”

Liu Siyu’s expression darkened and she bit her lip. “Brother, are you angry?”

“Why would I be? ” Liu Siyan said. “I’ll never be angry with you.”

The two of them went to the market. Liu Siyan said that they had to eat dumplings at the reunion, so the two of them bought meat filling and vegetables.

On the way back from buying groceries, Liu Siyu asked, “Brother, do Grandpa and Grandma know?”

“Yeah,” Liu Siyan said. “It’s better if you don’t see them for now. Otherwise, they’ll be too agitated.”

Liu Siyu lowered her head. “Do they hate me?” she asked. “Do you hate me?”

“No, they just think that you’re Liu Siyu. Grandma said that you’re as beautiful as she was when she was young, and that she knew you’re her granddaughter. Grandpa also said that he watched you grow up, so he can’t be wrong. There’s no way you’re from the Ji family.”

Hearing this, Liu Siyu felt less guilty.

When she got home, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu were not home yet. The brother and sister were busy making dumplings in the kitchen. Liu Siyu began to cry as soon as she started cutting scallions. “Brother, it’s hurting my eyes.”

Liu Siyan quickly asked his sister to leave. Then, he took care of all the work.

The moment Mrs. Liu got home, she saw her daughter rubbing her eyes. “Xiaoyu, you’re back.”

“Mom, I’m back.” Then, Liu Siyu hugged her mother and said, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m sorry I’m late.”

Mrs. Liu cried tears of joy. After a few words, Mrs. Liu went into the kitchen to take over the work of making dumplings. But Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan did not leave. The three of them made dumplings together, talking and laughing.

Mr. Liu had also returned home. When he saw his wife and the two kids in the kitchen, he quickly took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves.

The family spent a long time in the kitchen making dumplings. No one asked about their daughter’s life in the Ji family. It was like nothing had changed.
