Chapter 1937: Chapter 1937: Qingyun Returns to China (1)

There is a saying that good news travels slowly, while bad news travels far and wide.

What kind of person is Su Meixiang? Almost everyone in the same circle knows.

She’s obsessed with fashion and spares no effort in skimping on food to pamper herself with clothes and makeup.

Even after remarrying post-divorce, Su Meixiang still demands a hefty alimony from her ex-husband, regardless of whether he has enough money left for himself and their biological son after paying such a large sum.

Of course, if she cared about her ex-husband and son, she wouldn’t have destroyed all the pots, pans, clothes, and bedding at home during the divorce.

Shen Qing is an honest man. For his son and himself, he has spent money to buy peace.

Even so, the alimony Shen Qing pays her every month is not enough for her expenses, and her second husband’s earnings can’t fill her endless hole in fashion expenses. Finally, after reaching his limit, he proposed a divorce. After several negotiations, he ended up paying a costly price of fifty yuan per month in alimony, otherwise, Su Meixiang wouldn’t agree to the divorce.

In this way, Su Meixiang and Tang Xin are indeed birds of a feather, no wonder they’re complicit in their schemes. The difference is one fulfills her own desires with money, and the other can only thrive in wealth, not adversity.

“Comrade Su Meixiang doesn’t work, and after the divorce her household registration is tied under Comrade Su Junlin, and there’s no record of her savings in the bank. If it weren’t for her recent purchase of clothes and shoes costing nearly five hundred yuan, we wouldn’t have discovered her gaining such an income.” The two alimonies she receives are immediately spent, and this happens every month. Su Meixiang never saves money, which is why Section Chief Wang is sure this recent amount was new income for Su Meixiang. “Unfortunately, even if we trace the source of the money, there’s nothing we can do about Comrade Su Meixiang.”

Granny Ye’s expression turned grim, “Why? The previous chief detested corruption and bribery the most when he was alive.”

Section Chief Wang sighed, “Even if we come and investigate, Comrade Su Meixiang could claim that the money was gifted by an elder who didn’t want a family member to be labeled inappropriately. The Su Family’s elders might very well acknowledge this source of money, or Comrade Su Meixiang might say it was borrowed. Therefore, we haven’t acted rashly to avoid alerting the enemy and adding trouble for your families.”

“You were able to track down the source of the money?” Feng Qingxue recalled what Section Chief Wang mentioned earlier.

“Yes, we traced it.”

“Let me guess, was it provided by Tang Xin?”

Section Chief Wang gave Feng Qingxue a thumbs up, “Is it any wonder you’re so exceptionally clever? We found that Comrade Tang Xin withdrew five hundred yuan from her passbook, on the very day she blocked Comrade Ye Yan. Subsequently, we invited Comrade Tang Xin to assist in the investigation, and she firmly insisted that the money was lent to Su Meixiang, not given as a gift.”

“That’s like confessing without being pressed! Assuming you didn’t mention Su Meixiang.” Feng Qingxue said.

Section Chief Wang smiled, “We didn’t mention Su Meixiang, she exposed the flaw herself. Unfortunately, her explanation was flawless, and if we contact Su Meixiang, she will likely claim it was a loan, not a transaction.”

Granny Ye, hearing this, asked, “So, what’s to be decided here?”

“For now, we can only let it go unresolved.” Section Chief Wang shrugged, quickly adding before Granny Ye could get upset, “Rest assured, the two of you, we will continue to follow up on this matter. I’ve also spoken to the head of the security department, and they will increase patrols of guards in the area. Whatever schemes Comrades Tang Xin and Su Meixiang might concoct, they won’t succeed.”

Granny Ye heard this, her face easing slightly, “That sounds about right.”
