I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 629: It was her doing

Chapter 629: Chapter 629: It was her doing

Yu Jingting found a post office remittance receipt that had been burnt down to half in the stove.

Nowadays, a receipt would be given when remittances were made through the post office.

The family must have been in a hurry to leave but still remembered to destroy the evidence.

Unfortunately, the net of heaven has wide meshes but lets nothing through. Only half of the receipt was burnt, leaving all the critical information intact.

Yu Jingting saw the recipient’s name. It was Jin Qu’s mother!

Yu Jingting had been trying to figure out who had instigated Jin Qu to harm Suizi before, but the investigation was challenging, and there had been no progress.

After Jin Qu’s mother committed suicide, Jin Qu’s mental state worsened, sometimes lucid, sometimes insane. Upon being provoked, she went mad.

It would be challenging to investigate the truth after this lead had been cut off.

This matter was always like a thorn stuck in Yu Jingting’s heart.

Even though the family had moved to Beijing and started a new life, he often thought about it.

Now, he had found this remittance receipt in the home of the driver who had hit Fan Huang!

"As long as we can figure out who’s behind this driver, we can finally settle our score. Since it concerns a life, we have to investigate thoroughly," Suizi said through gritted teeth.

Jin Qu’s mother is dead, and although she deserves it, she caused her downfall and was threatened into suicide.

But ultimately, the person behind the scenes had exploited the conflict between Suizi and Jin Qu and used a human life as bait, which was something Suizi couldn’t tolerate.

Jin Qu lost her mother, was used by others as a gun, and wanted Suizi dead. When she couldn’t achieve her goal, she went mad.

For the whole incident, Suizi felt oppressed. She did not like Jin Qu, but she despised those who harm others behind the scenes even more, especially now that they want to harm her father, she could no longer coexist under the same sky with them.

"We don’t need to investigate who’s behind this. It’s that damn woman Liu Xi. I swear I’ll kill her once I see her!"

Yu Jingting said savagely. From the moment he saw the remittance receipt, he felt a surge of anger.

He wanted to return home, burn down Fan Hui’s house, give Liu Xi a beating, then throw her half-dead into the police station for her to be ruined and to live off steamed buns!

"Liu Xi?!" Suizi thought about Liu Xi who had been holding Luoluo in their courtyard half an hour ago.

"It’s her! Meng Jun investigated the driver’s background. He is a distant relative of Liu Xi, and she arranged the job for him. If not her, then who?!"

"But, when the truck hit our father, Fan Hui was also in the car. Why would she want to harm her own man?"

"Fan Hui isn’t a good man. He fools around outside, and their marriage is a shell already. If not for extreme loneliness, would Liu Xi have gotten involved with her brother-in-law?"

Yu Jingting determined that the marriage between Liu Xi and Fan Hui’s was a mere facade, with both of them messing around outside.

But she could not leave the shelter of the Fan family.

The best solution would be to let Fan Hui die. That way, she would still be the wife of the Fan family, but she wouldn’t have a husband who only makes sense for five minutes at a time.

"She attacked you because she must have thought that you were Fan Hui’s bastard. Once the Fan family acknowledged you, you would take away some of her benefits."

"Doesn’t she think too much? My dad is obviously wealthier than Fan Hui..."

Although the Fan brothers are from the same parents, their different growth paths show one was raised as a legitimate heir, while the other was a playboy dandy.

Chen Lijun is now Fan Huang’s official girlfriend. Fan Huang was unmarried this long just for her. As long as Chen Lijun agrees, Suizi will be Fan Huang’s eldest daughter. Liu Xi did not need to worry about Suizi taking away her family property.

Between a wealthy father with power and a dandy with nothing, Suizi knew who to choose.

"When she incited Jin Qu to frame you, our mother wasn’t in a clear relationship with our uncle--our dad. So, Liu Xi had a strong motive to attack then."

Yu Jingting was quick to correct his reference, mainly because he found no trouble with his new father-in-law.

Fan Huang recently clarified his relationship with Chen Lijun, but his goodwill towards the couple, Suizi and Yu Jingting, had been apparent for a long time.

Who could turn down a father with plenty of money, power, and little to worry about?

"I still find it hard to believe that Liu Xi did it. She just came to our house."

Yu Jingting stared fiercely: "What did she come for? Did she hurt you and the child?!"

"She didn’t even recognize who I was..."

Suizi narrated Liu Xi’s actions in saving Luoluo.

Yu Jingting fell into deep thought.

"Admittedly, having an affair with her brother-in-law while being married displays a moral decay and a fall in human nature. But it doesn’t prove that she’s a ruthless person. I believe that if a person can help an unfamiliar child, they should profoundly revere life," Suizi objectively analyzed.

If it was not for witnessing Liu Xi saving Luoluo, perhaps she would have agreed with Yu Jingting.

But when Liu Xi held Luoluo, her eyes also held a certain degree of love and did not resemble a villain who would disregard human life for her own gain.

"If not her, who else could it be? Surely it couldn’t be Fan Hui staging it himself, hoping to die with our father?"

"It’s unlikely. Fan Hui got disfigured - for someone who roams around like him, being disfigured might be more unbearable than death."

Suizi felt a great deal of resentment toward Fan Hui disappear the moment she learned he wasn’t her father.

She found him annoying because she didn’t want her blood to be so filthy.

With the realization that there’s no connection between them, she felt a lot lighter and only had residual hatred toward Fan Hui because he had tried to take indecent photos of her.

"In any case, the hitting-and-run driver has a profound connection with Fan Hui’s family. Most likely, Meng Jun has already given the investigation results to our father to make a decision."

Yu Jingting left out the second half of his sentence.

How the father-in-law would deal with these people was his business, but his score with Fan Hui would have to be settled separately.

"Um... before things have been thoroughly investigated, I think you should refrain from messing with Fan Hui and his family."

Suizi put herself in Liu Xi’s shoes and found that the woman had had a hard life.

Her husband was a cad, and her child was mentally challenged. Despite marrying into wealth, her life was a mess. She finally developed feelings for her brother-in-law, yet their affair was photographed by Yu Jingting, making her fearful every day.

She lived in a daze, with life full of shards of glass. Wherever she went, there was blood everywhere...

"Our mother is going to chide you for being too soft-hearted."

"Fine, let her say what she wants. I’ll live my life. If she gets too angry and wants to take action, I’ll shove you in front of her."

"???"

"Jingting, you’ve interacted with our father a few times. Have you noticed any traits about him?"

"Um... what’s that term you often use? Oh, I remember, a simp?"

"... I’m not asking you to observe his attitude toward our mother; I’m asking you if you’ve noticed any characteristics in how he deals with issues on a regular basis?"
