Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307: My Husband Is 007 (Part 1)
Tang Li felt the need to clarify something.
It’s about having her do a clean property division, not putting her father in prison.
Halfway through typing, someone in the group chimed in first.
[Wu Family’s Fortune]: "👍👍👍 Since I’ve become friends with Ah Li, mom doesn’t have to worry about me being scammed anymore!"
[Tang Li]: "..."
After all, a father going to prison isn’t something to celebrate.
The specifics, Yu Sui didn’t mention further in the group.
Out of concern for a friend, Tang Li privately messaged Yu Sui.
Yu Sui quickly replied, but it was unrelated: "My dad indeed has a mistress outside."
Tang Li: "Found evidence?"
"Yeah." Yu Sui sent a voice message: "I snatched my dad’s cellphone, even though he deleted call logs and chat records, I have my own way. I sent a mass message to everyone on his contact list."
What she sent was ’going to your place tonight’.
Amidst a heap of ’greetings’, one fish caught the bait.
A woman with an ID of ’Phoenix’ responded not with a question mark nor cursing her dad but asked her dad back: "Did your wife sign?"
She pretended to reply on behalf of her dad.
Upon finding out the loan couldn’t get through, the woman’s attitude changed immediately.
The next message directly asked whether her dad still wanted his son.
"[Phoenix] should be that woman’s mom."
The original words were—
[If you can’t even afford child support, there’s no need to keep the child.]
Tang Li opened the new voice message, detecting the loneliness between Yu Sui’s words: "I didn’t expect that my dad always wanted a son."
"He tricked fifty thousand of my mom’s private savings last week, probably given to the mistress."
Father Yu’s actions were clearly shadier than Lai Wenyan’s.
Lai Wenyan at least knew that no matter how good wildflowers were, they couldn’t sway the red flag at home.
Just as Tang Li planned to say something comforting, Yu Sui sent another voice message, seemingly rejuvenated: "He doesn’t care whether my mom and I live or die, so I treat it as my dad passing away early. I told my mom that my dad sitting in prison for ten years could offset two million, my mom cried, then asked me how to quickly send dad to jail."
Tang Li: "..."
Tang Li did hear Yu Sui talk about it before.
Back then, Mother Yu chose Father Yu among all her suitors because of Father Yu’s reliable looks and nice treatment.
Since neither existed anymore, Yu Guofeng had no advantages for his wife.
Married over twenty years, Mother Yu definitely had feelings for her husband.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t hand over her private savings.
It was Father Yu himself who destroyed the marital ties with Mother Yu.
Father Yu’s case, because of solid evidence, proceeded rapidly through the judicial process.
Half a month later, the first trial results were out, Father Yu was sentenced to twelve years in prison for embezzling public funds and privately carving official seals, fined one million, and four million public funds embezzled by Father Yu was ordered to be recovered.
Tang Li also received a call from Jiang Yiniing again after four years.
Some things seem predestined in the dark.
Going round and round, Jiang Yiniing’s mother ended up being Father Yu’s mistress.
After Father Yu was caught, he confessed truthfully about his gambling activities.
The underground casino was also busted by the police.
Mrs. Jiang was involved in soliciting people to the casino and has been taken away. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she ends up sewing for a few years.
Jiang Yiniing made this call to ask Tang Li to help her avoid involvement in this case.
"You certainly don’t want your brother’s mother entangled in this kind of legal program-worthy scandal, do you?"
Tang Li’s response was not what she expected.
——Tang Li didn’t acknowledge having a brother.
Before she could ’remind’ Tang Li, Tang Li’s cold words came: "From the moment you chose to be Yu Guofeng’s mistress, you should’ve known the consequences."
Tang Li didn’t consider Jiang Yiniing pitiful.
If Yu Sui hadn’t promptly reported her father, the ending of the previous life might have repeated.
If Mother Yu followed Father Yu to the bank to sign for a loan, the first thing Father Yu would do next would be to allocate funds to Mrs. Jiang and her daughter, arranging a retreat, at least ensuring Jiang Yiniing could safely give birth to ’their son,’ and to avoid recovery of embezzled funds, migrating overseas would be the only way.
Jiang Yiniing surely knew Yu Guofeng was Yu Sui’s father.
Thus, this result was purely self-inflicted.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Yiniing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Tang Li could be truly merciless when cold.
She thought Tang Li would at least show some consideration for the child.
Thinking about the son she threw at Tang Li, Jiang Yiniing took a deep breath, made up her mind: "I want to see my child. From now on, I will raise him myself."
Tang Li’s response plunged her into fire and ice.
Tang Li said she didn’t understand what she was talking about.
"The child at Huafu No.1," at this point, Jiang Yiniing no longer concealed: "My mom left him at the apartment door, you return him to me."
"That abandoned baby?"
Jiang Yiniing gripped the cellphone tightly: "Yes!"
Five minutes later, sitting on the rented apartment sofa, Jiang Yiniing was dazed.
Tang Li said she never raised that child.
The child was confirmed as an abandoned baby and was sent to the welfare center.
...How could it be so.
This outcome was completely different from her expectations.
If she wanted the child’s whereabouts, she could directly go to the city police station.
Could she go to the city police station?
Certainly, she couldn’t!
Unless she wanted to confirm her abandonment crime!
Instantly, myriad thoughts swirled.
And at this moment, the doorbell rang outside.
Remembering she ordered takeout at noon, Jiang Yiniing got up and went to the entrance.
Just opening the door, a hand with red-painted nails swung at her, "I’ll scratch you to death, you vixen!"
The next day Tang Li received a thank-you gift from Mother Yu.
——Two live hens.
The hens were delivered personally by Yu Sui.
Tang Li also noticed the scratches on Yu Sui’s left cheek, which Yu Sui didn’t cover, "After the city police discovered my dad’s mistress’s identity, fearing my mom would cause trouble, they refused to reveal the woman’s information. Until the day before yesterday, my uncle found out, and yesterday my mom secretly went there."
As for the wounds on her face, they were mistakenly scratched by her mom.
Her mom fought her way into the police station, she got a call and rushed over.
As soon as she entered the police station, she saw Jiang Yiniing.
Learning her father had entangled with Jiang Yiniing, she wasn’t shocked, but after stopping her mom’s second attack on Jiang Yiniing, she confronted this former best friend and schoolmate, asking her doubts: "Don’t you find it disgusting?"
In the past, when Jiang Yiniing got involved with Ah Li’s dad, she could understand.
After all, Lai Wenyan was considered charming.
But her dad...
Really beyond words.
Jiang Yiniing’s response still echoed in her ears —
You think everyone is born to live a lady’s life?
If I were Tang Li, I’d also not serve these old men.
But I don’t have that fate.
At that time, she only replied with one sentence —
"It’s not about lacking fate, but always thinking about taking shortcuts."
