CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 871: PAYING YOU BACK WITH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST (2)

Xiao Shuzhu was indeed about to be scared to faint.

This matter could be big or small. If it’s true, wouldn’t her second sister’s daughter become a murderer?

Her mind muddled, her body’s first reaction was, of course, to turn around and discuss it with the Xiao Family, at least to tell her second sister about such a major event.

Zhu Jiayin hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mom, you’re not thinking of going back to tell Second Aunt, are you? Would Second Aunt believe us? We have no evidence. If you say it like this, Yueting will definitely know I’m a witness. Wouldn’t her next step be to— Are you trying to get me killed, Mom?!"

At her daughter’s words, Xiao Shuzhu came to her senses. Indeed, this matter could not ruin herself. Besides, she had just made her stance clear to her two sisters at home, planning to return to the United States. Going back now would make her seem untrustworthy, and neither the second nor third sister would trust anything she said.

"Let’s go, back to the United States."

"Mom, are you seeing me off onto the plane?" Zhu Jiayin questioned.

"No, I’m going back to the United States with you," Xiao Shuzhu pondered, "There are some things I should talk face-to-face with your dad."

Zhu Jiayin raised an eyebrow at her words. As a daughter, she had long sensed the subtle relationship between her parents.

Always feeling like her parents weren’t what they seemed.

The fourth mother and daughter flew away and returned to Mi Country. Thus, when the news that Kang Yueting had poisoned and accidentally killed an elderly woman reached Mi Country, both Xiao Shuzhu and Zhu Jiayin broke out in a cold sweat of fear.

Subsequently, the police who apprehended Kang Yueting received the latest news, saying that Kang Yueting was involved in the previous Qiu Jiali murder case.

Xiao Shulan’s lawyer received this news and, of course, didn’t dare to keep it from Xiao Shulan. Xiao Shulan remained in a fog.

She might feel that she and her daughter were both going insane, only wanting to grab a knife to kill.

At the police station, Xiao Shuju waited half the day, not seeing Xiao Shulan and the lawyer arrive, already feeling a chill in her heart with the autumn wind.

Xiao Shuju was likewise filled with anxiety, uncertain of the road ahead. At this moment, she dearly missed her eldest sister Xiao Shumei, her brother Yebai, and even inexplicably began to miss the fourth sister, Xiao Shuzhu, who had been ostracized and sent back to the United States.

The blue BMW drove along the neon-lit main city road, crossing the virtual splendor to arrive at the avenue alongside the river.

Due to the strong wind, the windows were not opened.

Zhao Mengjin sat in the passenger seat, and besides watching the roadside scenery through the window, she could only look back inside the car. Inside the car, there was only a man left.

Should she speak? For Zhao Mengjin, who frequently attended performances and social events, making conversation with someone was absolutely not a problem. But now, she suddenly found herself tongue-tied, unsure of what to say to this man in front of her.

The current situation seemed more complex than she had anticipated. Especially in such close proximity and within an enclosed environment with no outside interference, she could concentrate more on observing the man’s appearance beside her.

Yes, when he reached out to stop Gu Nuan from taking the fruit, she was startled. At the same time, she seemed to understand why her brother Qingqing left a voice message on her communication device, mentioning someone who looked very much like Aunt Gu.

Indeed, there was some resemblance in facial features, especially that kind of aura.

Was there some significant connection here?

Had the Ou Family couple not noticed it themselves?

Judging by Ou Shihua’s attitude, it seemed as if this matter was perfectly normal, with no impact at all.
