Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 466 - “You are involved in a murder case. Please come with us.” (3)

Li Jiaojiao finally couldn’t help but quit the job a little after a month. Li Jiaojiao, who was arrogant, could not handle a job that required her to fawn.

Even though she had some savings, she couldn’t just sit around until it was completely depleted. Li Jiaojiao thought about it long and hard and decided that she should aim to get married again before she gets too old.

She first looked for a high-end beauty salon, paid for a membership card, and started networking with the guests there. Over time, she was able to land herself a husband.

This person was in her 50s. Her husband’s cousin was widowed and had a 13-year-old son.

“I feel that you are easy going and, if you don’t mind my brother-in-law having a child, I can try to set you up with him?” The woman had learned from their previous conversation that Li Jiaojiao was divorced and was looking to remarry. She would not have said such a thing otherwise.

Li Jiaojiao pinched her lips shut a little and said with a little sadness. “Sister Zhang, I got a divorce because it is difficult for me to get pregnant again. I like kids a lot, so...... I much prefer to be with someone who has a child. That way it can complete my dream to be a mother.”

“Aiya, then it’s perfect.” Sister Zhang, looking at Li Jiaojiao’s reddened eyes, quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. I meant my brother-in-law happened to have a child. Let me go talk to him when I get home and we can set up a time to meet.”

How should she put it? Sister Zhang’s brother-in-law was very mediocre looking, almost a bit on the ugly side. But she had done her research. He had his own plant, and he owned the land where the plant was built. He also owned a few houses in addition to that. Those were enough for her to overlook his looks.

The man was very pleased with Li Jiaojiao’s look and, after learning that she was a college student, was even more pleased. The two got married after meeting up a couple of times.

She was hit by the man’s daughter on the very first day she moved into the house. Slapped across her cheek with her hair grabbed in fact. The girl, who was chewing gum like a hooligan, looked at Li Jiaojiao with contempt in her eyes. “You want to be my stepmother? Why don’t you look at your own reflection in your own piss first?”

She went to the man with her swollen cheek but, lo and behold, not only did the man not scold his daughter, he asked her if her hand hurt.

Li Jiaojiao was stunned speechless. What kind of a man was he?

The man looked normal usually but would lose his mind when it came to his daughter. The girl loved to bully her. And the man would be on the daughter’s side if Li Jiaojiao fought back. Li Jiaojiao’s days were horrid for a while after that.

She had, however, figured out how to survive in that family. She didn’t need to appease the man; it was the daughter that she needed to appease. With Li Jiaojiao’s ability, it was nothing to handle a 13-year-old girl. When her days became better, she had ideas again.

Nothing hurts a child more than spoiling them. Li Jiaojiao let the girl do whatever she wanted. No bottom line to speak of, almost. Over time, the girl became more and more extreme and more and more into the deep end.

Five years later, the girl went to prison for manslaughter and the man was also arrested for being an accessory. Li Jiaojiao had a look of disbelief at first then watched the cops take both of them away helplessly.

After all those who were there to comfort her were gone, Li Jiaojiao wiped off her tears and happiness shown in her eyes.

She had waited for a long time for this day. Now that both of them were gone, all the family’s assets belonged to her.

A few days later, Li Jiaojiao came to the plant with a strong look and planned to take over the man’s plant. It was then she learned that the plant did not belong to the man but to his brother. The man was only there in the capacity of a manager. They only said that they belonged to the man so that he could trick a woman to marry him and help him take care of him and his child.

And of the houses, those all belonged to either his brother or his cousin. Even the house that she lived in was under the girl’s name.

Li Jiaojiao was walking down the street, her mind blank, when she saw the well-dressed Li Miaomiao. The ugly duckling who could only live in her shadow in the past was beaming. Li Jiaojiao hid herself. She could not let Li Miaomiao see how she looked right now.

“Hurry up, Shu Yan. We won’t be able to get any tickets if we get there too late.”

Shu Yan? Could it be the Shu Yan that she knew of?

Li Jiaojiao looked in the direction that Li Miaomiao was looking in and saw a pretty woman walking over slowly. “Don’t worry. I’ve already phoned Third Brother and had him booked the tickets in advance.”

Li Miaomiao’s husband was Shu Jianyang, a cousin of Shu Yan. Shu Yan, too, referred to him as Third Brother. So this was the Shu Yan that she knew.

How did she become so pretty now? And she was wearing Xianyuan from head to toe. Whatever happened to her over the years?

She couldn’t help but follow them. She saw Shu Yan walking toward a man standing by the door and hold his hand affectionately. The man looked at her tenderly and whispered something to her. Shu Yan broke into a smile. Not too long later, an older boy and girl walked over holding onto a younger boy......

“Hi, are you Madam Li Jiaojiao?” Two cops appeared in front of Li Jiaojiao.

Li Jiaojiao looked at them blankly.

“You are involved in a murder case. Please come with us.”
