Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1780: We’ve All Been Duped

Mr. Bai received Bai Xiaoxiao’s glance and immediately understood, opening his mouth, “Xiuyun, let’s go inside first.”

Although Qiao Xiuyun resents Wu Jingfang, as long as Wu Jingfang doesn’t provoke her, she tends to avoid trouble.

Coldly looking at Wu Jingfang, Qiao Xiuyun turned and entered the office with her husband and daughter.

“Qiao Xiuyun…”

Just a few steps away, Wu Jingfang saw Qiao Xiuyun trying to leave and called her name harshly.

However, as soon as she began to speak, her mouth was covered by Luo Rongbin beside her.

On the other side, her son Luo Haofeng stopped her too, “Mom, Officer Lu is over there, let’s go over first.”

Wu Jingfang followed Luo Haofeng’s pointed direction and saw indeed, Lu Zhiyan standing under the eaves outside the interrogation room.

Lu Zhiyan greeted them politely, telling them to go to the interrogation room first.

“Are the kidnappers still inside? Mrs. Luo, please go inside first; some things they said need to be cross-examined with you.”

As Lu Zhiyan spoke, he made a gesture of invitation, and Luo Haofeng and Luo Rongbin accompanied Wu Jingfang into the interrogation room.

On the other side, in Lu Zhiyan’s office.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Mr. Bai accompanied Qiao Xiuyun into the office, where Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran, and Gu Kai were all standing up.

After greeting Qiao Xiuyun and Mr. Bai, they all sat down again.

Wen Ran comforted Qiao Xiuyun, saying, “Aunt Qiao, don’t worry, we will definitely find out who is behind this.”

“Those kidnappers have confessed, but Officer Lu said their testimony doesn’t count as evidence.”

When Qiao Xiuyun said this, her face was somewhat unsightly. Deep down, she actually believed the kidnappers’ words.

She understood better than anyone the hatred Wu Jingfang held towards her, besides that woman being so malicious, who else would be that vile?

Wen Ran smiled slightly, “Aunt Qiao, since Brother Lu says it doesn’t count as evidence, there must be a reason; let’s just wait and see, I believe it won’t take long to uncover the truth.”

“Mom, if you’re tired, let’s go home first!”

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, speaking with concern.

Mr. Bai also chimed in, “You were frightened this morning, why don’t we go home and rest first? I’ll make you some soup to calm your nerves.”

Qiao Xiuyun thought of Wu Jingfang who had entered the interrogation room and said indifferently, “Let’s wait for that woman to come out; I want to ask her firsthand why she did it.”

“Mom, didn’t Officer Lu say so?”

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, hearing Qiao Xiuyun’s words, immediately understood that the woman she referred to was definitely Luo Haofeng’s mother.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Gu Kai.

Gu Kai immediately stood up, smiled, and said, “Uncle Bai, Aunt Qiao, you continue chatting, I’ll step outside for a moment.”

He left the office, heading directly towards the interrogation room.

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran stayed in the office, chatting with Mr. Bai and Mother Bai.

Soon, footsteps and voices sounded in the hallway outside.

Lu Zhiyan returned to the office with Father Luo, Mother Luo, Gu Kai, and Luo Haofeng.

Inside the office, hearing the noise, Mother Bai’s expression changed, and Mr. Bai quickly reached out to hold her hand.

“Uncle Bai, Aunt Qiao, Uncle Luo and Aunt are here. There seems to have been some misunderstanding; now that everyone is together, it’s a good time to clarify.”

The one speaking was Gu Kai.

Compared to Officer Lu, Gu Kai was more acquainted with both the Luo Family and Bai Family.

However, the office atmosphere did not become harmonious because of Gu Kai’s words; instead, with the appearance of Father Luo and Mother Luo, the atmosphere suddenly became peculiar and tense.

The air seemed to thin all of a sudden.

The confrontation between Mother Luo and Mother Bai made the atmosphere somewhat tense.

“Mom.”

Bai Xiaoxiao called gently, slightly nervous.

Luo Haofeng’s tall figure stood beside Wu Jingfang at the door; as Bai Xiaoxiao called her mother, Luo Haofeng also spoke quickly to smooth things over, “Mom, weren’t you planning to clarify everything to avoid Aunt Qiao’s misunderstanding?”

“Hmph!”

Mother Luo merely snorted coldly, continuing to glare at Mother Bai.

Luo Haofeng awkwardly smiled and stepped forward, saying to Mother Bai and Mr. Bai, “Uncle Bai, Aunt Qiao, I just accompanied my mother to the interrogation room and met those kidnappers. Their words aren’t trustworthy, please don’t misunderstand.”

“Just ‘not trustworthy’ and that’s it. Who knows, is she not just being deceitful?”

Mother Bai’s tone was hostile, and upon hearing this, Mother Luo’s anger flared up immediately, glaring at Mother Bai angrily, “Qiao Xiuyun, don’t slander me indiscriminately. Do you know the kind of people you’ve offended? Pushing all accusations on me, I’d say perhaps those kidnappers were hired by you, a play directed and performed by yourself?”

Wu Jingfang’s words instantly ignited the conflict.

Qiao Xiuyun stood up from the sofa in a flash.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed too, standing up and tightly holding her mother’s arm.

“Wu Jingfang, you vicious woman. I’ve never offended anyone in my life, aside from you being so malicious; no one else would do such a thing.”

For a woman who destroyed her entire life, Qiao Xiuyun couldn’t possibly speak kindly to her.

And Wu Jingfang, facing a woman who stole her husband’s affection, loathed her deeply.

Luo Haofeng tightly held Wu Jingfang, while Bai Xiaoxiao held onto Qiao Xiuyun.

Both said, “Mom, say less.”

“Ah Feng, take a closer look, ‘like father, like son,’ ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’ Qiao Xiuyun can’t produce a good daughter; breaking up with Bai Xiaoxiao was the right choice.”

“Mom, what does this have to do with Xiaoxiao.”

Bai Xiaoxiao, hearing Wu Jingfang’s words, turned pale, instinctively looking at Luo Haofeng.

Meeting his apologetic yet complex gaze, her heart ached slightly.

A sudden wave of fatigue and helplessness washed over her heart. Facing such family, such elders, and such entanglements, what outcome could he and she possibly have?

Even if Bai Xiaoxiao stayed silent, Luo Haofeng could feel her sadness through her suddenly dimmed eyes.

A glimmer of pain flashed across his eyes, and he instinctively pressed his thin lips together, just about to say something when Mo Xiuchen suddenly stood up from the sofa, his deep voice calmly sounding, “Aunt Luo, Aunt Qiao, would you both allow me to say a word?”

Wu Jingfang’s expression changed, but given that this was Mo Xiuchen, and thinking of the purpose for coming to the police station, she kept a cold face but did not refuse.

And Mother Bai was even less likely to vent anger on Mo Xiuchen.

“Mo General, please go ahead.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled slightly, speaking with a gentle tone, “I think Aunt Qiao’s kidnapping isn’t as straightforward as it appears. From what I know, Aunt Luo received a call from a stranger to come to G City. It’s possible that we’ve all been deceived.”
