Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Calling the Police
Since she had made her point so clear, how could Liu Zheng possibly think otherwise?
To tell the truth, he really was very happy.
Initially, he worried everything might change.
Feared it could negatively affect their relationship.
He might have regretted it deeply because he truly liked Li Yanling a lot in his heart.
He thought she might become jealous, maybe hurt and upset.
She might even use it to threaten him, making him end this connection.
But he never expected that all his worries would amount to nothing.
This made him quite cheerful.
He stepped forward and hugged Li Yanling tightly in front of him.
"I know, no matter what, you’d always support me, no matter what, you would never leave me," he said.
"What are you talking about? We are the best of friends; how could we ever part?" she replied.
Liu Zheng also smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Then let’s not go back yet. Why not stay at my place tonight? It’s also nice to have some company."
But Li Yanling gently shook her head.
"Alright, in a bit, I still need to go back today, after all, if Xiao Kai sees I’m not there tomorrow, he’ll definitely worry about me."
"Besides, you know how things between Xiao Kai and me have just improved, I hope to spend more time with him."
She’d made herself so clear, how could Liu Zheng possibly insist on her staying?
Moreover, what she said was indeed reasonable.
So, Liu Zheng quickly nodded and gently kissed her on the forehead.
"Okay, then be careful on your way back," he said.
Soon they reluctantly parted ways.
Waiting until Li Yanling had left,
at that moment, Liu Zheng finally felt at ease.
Initially, he was somewhat anxious that things might develop for the worse.
But now it seemed all his worries were simply superfluous.
Now that Li Yanling could withstand all this,
it was indeed a good thing for him, and he’d treasure this hard-earned friendship no matter what.
So he soon drifted peacefully into sleep.
And he had a very pleasant dream that night.
He dreamt that both Li Yanling and Liu Jiaxin were by his side.
They seemed to get along very harmoniously.
When he woke up the next day, he didn’t expect a commotion outside the door.
This did strike him as odd.
He wondered who had suddenly shown up without rhyme or reason.
Just then as he opened the door, he saw that the old lady had appeared again so early in the morning.
Not only that, but this time she didn’t just stand there talking; she lay down on the ground instead.
She cried out as she spoke.
"Who can stand up for this old woman? If this keeps up, I’ll have to sleep under bridges!"
"It’s all his doing, he’s the reason I’ve ended up like this!"
"If it weren’t for him, why would my daughter-in-law run off with him? Now my daughter-in-law doesn’t recognize me, my grandson doesn’t recognize me, what should this old woman do? At my age, are you really going to kick me out?"
...
To think that she still had the nerve to say such things at this point.
And after causing a scene last time, she’s actually doing it again.
It’s beyond me what kind of mush she has for brains.
Does she really not feel ashamed enough yet?
At this moment, Liu Zheng couldn’t be bothered with her.
Because those who had witnessed the entire drama last time are well aware of what kind of person this old lady is.
No matter what, it’s unlikely they would believe her that easily again.
So, before long, the onlookers began chiming in one after another.
"Oh my, you made a scene last time, and that was bad enough, but now you have the nerve to do it again, even though your daughter-in-law and grandson spoke up for them. You really don’t care about losing face, huh?"
"Yes, it’s unbelievable how thick-skinned an old lady can get, still causing trouble here and disrupting people’s business."
"Enough, I never expected her to come and make a commotion again. It’s unbelievable; I’ve never seen an old person with such thick skin."
Last time, the onlookers ate up the whole story, so they already knew who was right and who was wrong.
And they wouldn’t blame Liu Zheng.
Some of the unaware onlookers, hearing these comments, naturally became very curious and started asking around.
"What’s going on? What are you all talking about? I don’t quite understand."
"Yes, what exactly happened? Can someone explain it to me properly?"
Seeing that some were still confused, those in the know were more than eager to explain.
"This old woman was actually abusing her daughter-in-law and even caused her grandson to not recognize his own mother. And now she’s here making trouble, saying that this doctor has seduced her daughter-in-law, when in fact, it was the doctor who cured her grandson of a serious illness."
"Right, when her grandson was seriously ill, she actually moved out. The nerve of her to come here and make a scene now."
"Exactly, both her grandson and daughter-in-law came last time and admitted her fault, and I can’t believe she dares to act this way now."
...
And upon hearing this explanation, those who hadn’t known finally understood what was really going on.
To this, they were indeed incredibly astounded; they never imagined that an old woman of her age could do something so shameless.
"My goodness, this is just too despicable, isn’t it? That doctor is so unlucky; he was just helping but ended up being accused instead."
"Yeah, so now we can’t believe a word this old lady says. I can’t believe she has come back to cause trouble again, she just won’t let people be at peace."
"It’s also because the doctor hasn’t been paying attention to her; if he took it seriously, he could file a complaint with the police, and then we’d see what she would do."
Someone in the crowd uttered these words.
And the people nearby nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, if it were me dealing with someone like that, I’d just call the police. Once they ask her a few questions, we’ll see how she can keep up her fuss."
