Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 I’m scared, scared to death Chapter 27: Chapter 27 I’m scared, scared to death Half an hour later, Lin Chuyi arrived at Jungle Pharmaceutical.

As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw Wen Nianyou standing at the entrance, accompanied by an old acquaintance, her once best friend, Meng Li.

It seemed that the police hadn’t found evidence of Wen Nianyou committing a hit-and-run yet, so they had no choice but to release her.

“Oh, our busy bee has finally arrived. I thought you were going to miss work!”

Wen Nianyou’s face was smiling, but her words were laced with sarcasm, “I am really envious of you being a cleaner. Cleaning up trash must be so leisurely. I think it suits you to sweep trash for a lifetime.”

“I just don’t know, does your fiancé from the Sheng Family know that you’re sweeping trash?”

“The Sheng Family is so rich, yet why do they still let you come out to sweep trash? You wouldn’t be hiding your real identity, would you? You know it’s shameful, so you lied to them, right?”

Lin Chuyi looked at her indifferently, “Being a cleaner is not shameful, it’s certainly better than being a murderer. After all, cleaners just sweep trash, while murderers are trash.”

“Who are you calling trash?”

Wen Nianyou’s face changed color, “I am not a murderer, you are the murderer! Your father is a murderer too! Your mother even provided false testimony and was detained, your whole family is trash!”

Lin Yueqin was detained, and Lin Chuyi was not at all surprised; this was exactly the outcome she had wanted.

However, she hadn’t expected that despite Lin Yueqin treating Wen Nianyou wholeheartedly, Wen Nianyou would treat her this way.

“Wen Nianyou, you’re truly an ingratitude. For whom did Lin Yueqin provide false testimony? You’re not even grateful to her, yet you call her trash. Does Lin Yueqin know you’re saying this about her?”

“What’s wrong with cursing her? She’s just a servant of our Wen Family, and it’s her duty to do anything for me! As for you, she’s your biological mother, yet you do nothing when she’s detained. You’re not filial at all. You’re the coldest and most ruthless person in the world! Lin Yueqin is really unfortunate to have raised you for nothing!”

“Is Lin Yueqin being detained for providing false testimony on your behalf and framing me not what she deserves? How do you expect me to deal with it? Should I storm the jail to free her?”

Lin Chuyi remained calm, not allowing Wen Nianyou to affect her emotions.

“Besides, my father is not a murderer; he was framed, just like you framed me. The only difference is I found an alibi, but my father didn’t.”

Wen Nianyou suddenly burst into laughter, “Hahaha, Lin Chuyi, you don’t really believe your father didn’t murder, do you? Do you trust him that much?”

“If I don’t trust him, should I trust you?”

“Are you really stupid or just pretending? Of course, your father killed someone, and what’s more, I know the real reason he did it!”

Lin Chuyi furrowed her brows, “What reason? How do you know the real reason? Even the police don’t know it.”

“The reason, of course, I can’t tell you. However, I can assure you, he indeed killed someone. All these years, you’ve been busy looking for evidence to clear his name, but it’s all in vain; he is an irredeemable murderer!”

Wen Nianyou spoke with a sense of relief, “Does your fiancé from the Shengshi Group know that your father is a murderer? Tell me, if I informed him, would he still want you?”

“The heir to the Shengshi Group, how exactly did you hook up with him? Was it with that fox-like face of yours?”

Lin Chuyi wanted nothing more than for her to go say it, “Go ahead, hurry up and tell him. If you don’t tell him, I’ll think less of you.”

Wen Nianyou felt as if her punch had landed on cotton, “Why is this your reaction? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell?”

“I’m terrified, scared to death, so, are you going to tell or not?”

“Hmph, don’t think I don’t dare. Of course, I will tell your fiancé! He has a right to know. You’re hiding your father’s murder and your intentions are malicious!”

As she spoke, Wen Nianyou pushed Meng Li who was next to her forward, “This is how you deceived Meng Li before. She befriended you without knowing the truth, which led to her being isolated by others. If it weren’t for my help, she would never have been able to step out of your shadow!”
