Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Stop Talking, Shut Up!

Zhu Guizhi looked at Yu Jing, feeling a sigh in her heart while her back also felt cold—it really is true that you can know someone’s face but not their heart.

Qiao Qingyu was really nice, always good to her Xiao Xiao. When Qiao Qingyu went to Nangang City, she even bought Xiao Xiao a pair of sandals, and often enjoyed delicious meals at the He Family.

And Rongrong too, always sweetly calling her Aunt Yu.

But Yu Jing was capable of doing the unspeakable.

At the moment, Yu Jing’s face was ashen, and she stared at Zhu Guizhi unblinkingly, as if to see whether she was lying.

Maybe she was sent by Director Lin to deliberately sow discord.

Yet Zhu Guizhi continued, "Yu Jing, it’s not one hundred percent certain, after all, it’s not just your Wang Feng she’s been with. If it turned out not to be Wang Feng’s, that’d be even better. But I never expected your Wang Feng to be gone just like that. Now I really can’t say anything for sure, but I worry that Tian Li might have other intentions."

Her words were a slap in the face, and Yu Jing replied sarcastically with a raspy voice, "What plans could she have? The man is gone. Is Tian Li going to the underworld to be his wife?"

"It’s not that extreme. Didn’t the base give you quite a bit of compensation? That woman is from the countryside; long hair but short on smarts, only cares about money. If she gets those ideas, your Xiao Xiao will really be left with no one to care for her."

Yu Jing felt her suspicions dissipate after hearing Zhu Guizhi’s words.

As for Zhu Guizhi’s character, she knew it all too well. The reason she had been dealt with by Qingyu was exactly because she liked to gossip. If it had been before, she would have blown this matter up so that everyone knew. But after being put in her place, she understood the trouble that comes from speaking without thinking. Thus her reactions now were all genuine.

"Zhu Guizhi, we usually don’t have much to do with each other. Now I’ve fallen on hard times and everyone’s keeping their distance, yet you’re the only one who came to see me and talk to me about all this. I’m really moved," Yu Jing said, feeling her own words were meaningless.

"What’s there to be moved about? Actually, I’m here also for my own sake," Zhu Guizhi said, her words edged with gritted teeth.

Yu Jing gave a cursory glance at the two members of the special case team sitting beside her, but hadn’t thought that, despite being locked up, she’d still frequently see people from the outside.

Perhaps they were hoping to sift something from the conversations.

Yu Jing asked Zhu Guizhi, "I don’t understand what you’re saying. How is this for your own sake?"

"You see how shameless Tian Li is. Just yesterday, she and my Old Wang were having a chat at the gate, looking all cozy. I came off work and they were still there chatting.

I was in a bad mood, so I shooed her off, but as she was leaving, she turned and said: ’Zhu Guizhi, your Old Wang says he likes daughters, why don’t you have one for him?’"

Then Tian Li, with her belly sticking out, left. That made me remember what I heard at the Weis’ door: the things she and Wang Feng were saying while they were..." Zhu Guizhi paused, tugging at the corner of her mouth, looking cautiously at Yu Jing’s gloomy expression and said, "If you don’t want to hear it, I’ll stop."

Yu Jing could no longer remain calm.

Ever since the day she and her husband Wang Feng got married until the day he died, he never spoke during their intimate moments.

Yu Jing clenched her teeth, "You said I could endure it."

"Oh, you have no idea what the two of them were like back then... Forget it, I won’t go into the details, it’s too disgusting. But that shameless bitch, for some reason, just liked to seduce men with the surname Wang. She told your Old Wang, ’Secretary Wang, if you want a son, I can just give birth to one for you.’"

Yu Jing was shackled to the chair, unable to hold back any longer, her eyes splitting with rage, her heart ablaze with fury. If her husband were seated before her, she would have certainly killed him.

Unfortunately, she was shackled to the chair, unable to stand up. But because of her struggle, a guard standing next to her stepped forward to restrain Yu Jing, whispering a warning, "Don’t mess around, behave yourself."

Zhu Guizhi seemed to be influenced by Yu Jing’s fury and also stood up, her hands clenched tightly, "...Your Old Wang is also shameless. Panting heavily, he said, ’Okay, give birth to... give birth to two sons for me... and then a daughter. I’ll give you half of the money I earn...’"

"Stop talking, shut your mouth!"

Yu Jing, already driven to a frenzy by these provocations, stared fixedly at Zhu Guizhi with bloodshot eyes.

Her voice carried a venomous hatred and piercing anguish, "Zhu Guizhi, why are you telling me this now? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Zhu Guizhi clearly had some regrets; she took several steps back, "Yu Jing, you can’t blame me for this. Back then, everyone was fine. If I had spoken up, what would you have done? Could you have divorced him and left Xiao Xiao without a father? Besides, Mr. Zhao’s child wasn’t even born yet, what if it wasn’t... his?

Moreover, if I hadn’t said anything, Xiao Xiao would still have a father and mother, and your family would still be whole. But now, what’s the use of keeping it secret? Xiao Xiao’s father is gone, and with what you’ve done now, you’re definitely going to get the death penalty.

Xiao Xiao has nothing now, but she should at least have the money her father left behind, or what will she do in the future? Can her grandparents take care of her for the rest of their lives? When she grows up and gets married, if she has no dowry, people will look down on her."

"But I can’t get out now, so what’s the use of telling me all this?" Yu Jing was practically roaring her questions at Zhu Guizhi.

"How is it useless? You are still Xiao Xiao’s mother, and you have the final say over that money. You should talk to Director Lin and ask him to transfer all the money to Xiao Xiao’s account. That’s the least you can do for her as her mother right now."

Zhu Guizhi was genuinely sincere as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, tinged with hatred and disdain, "Look at you, why couldn’t you live a good life? Why get involved in all these messy things? You weren’t starving or lacking clothes; at the base, you were the envy of many. How could you not cherish that? You’re so foolish, I always thought you were clever, but now I see you’re utterly stupid. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be married or to have children!"

After finishing, Zhu Guizhi wiped away tears and turned to leave.

Yu Jing was left sitting in the chair, dispirited and motionless.

The members of the special case team watched Yu Jing with solemn gazes, and slowly, Yu Jing raised her head, her voice hoarse, "Call Director Lin for me, I have something to say to him."

...

After spending a week at school, Qiao Qingyu returned home only to find that a lot had happened in just one week. Yu Jing had confessed; she was Old Mountain Eagle, responsible for many of the previous cases. Her superior was Huang Sha, the wife of Zhao Gong, Tian Li. Tian Li reported to someone higher up, someone who always proclaimed himself a patriot, the son of Wu Xiujie, Wu Peng.
