Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Dad Won’t Lie to Her Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Dad Won’t Lie to Her Shengshi Group.

Wen Nianyou had been staking out the building’s entrance for the entire afternoon and finally caught sight of Sheng Tingyuan as he came out in the evening.

The moment before he got into his car, Wen Nianyou rushed over to block the door, “Mr. Sheng, good evening, my name is Wen Nianyou. I’m a friend of Lin Chuyi, we met at the police station this morning!”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression was indifferent, “I don’t remember you. Move aside, don’t block my car door.”

Wen Nianyou’s face stiffened, but she quickly put on a tender smile, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me. I just have a few words I’d like to say to you, about Chuyi. Could I have two minutes of your time?”

Sheng Tingyuan frowned imperceptibly, “Did she send you here?”

“Yes, Chuyi sent me.”

Wen Nianyou’s voice was squeezed thin, “Mr. Sheng, Chuyi, she actually has someone she likes. She doesn’t want to marry you.”

“I know. Is there anything else?”

Wen Nianyou was bewildered, “You know? And you still want to marry her?”

“If there’s nothing else, you can go now.”

“I do have something else!”

Wen Nianyou hurriedly said, “Chuyi also asked me to tell you, actually, her father is a vicious killer!”

“Her mother is currently detained for a crime, and she herself is suspected of a hit-and-run that resulted in death. Their whole family are criminals!”

“She also said that she’s worthless, uneducated and incapable, only fit to be a janitor sweeping trash! She’s not worthy of you!”

Sheng Tingyuan was unmoved, “Is that all?”

Wen Nianyou’s eyes were almost bulging out, “Ah? Isn’t all that enough?”

Sheng Tingyuan had run out of patience, and he glanced at his bodyguard.

The bodyguard immediately pulled Wen Nianyou aside.

Sheng Tingyuan got into the car, and before driving off, he rolled down the window, his tone cold and detached, “You’re fired.”

The bodyguard’s face turned pale instantly – he had failed to stop Wen Nianyou in time, and this upset his boss.

Wen Nianyou didn’t care whether the bodyguard had lost his job because of her, as she gloomily returned to her car.

Seeing her grim expression, Meng Li couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, didn’t it go well?”

Wen Nianyou gritted her teeth, “I suspect Lin Chuyi has cast a spell on Sheng Tingyuan!”

“You told him everything, and he still wants to marry Lin Chuyi?”

“Yes! Damn it, why? Why on earth! What’s so good about Lin Chuyi!”

…

Anshi Prison.

Lin Chuyi looked at her father, Shi Youjin, through the glass.

His face bore obvious bruising, clearly, he had been beaten again.

“Dad, who hit you this time?”

“No one, nobody hit me, I fell down because I wasn’t careful when walking. I’m doing quite well in here, don’t worry about me.”

Lin Chuyi fell silent.

How well could one possibly be doing in prison? Not only deprived of freedom, but occasionally bullied by actual vicious killers who took advantage of the honest and simple Shi Youjin.

He had just gotten used to sharing only the good news and not the bad with her.

After a long time, she finally spoke again, “Dad, why did you kill someone?”

“Xiaoyi, daddy really didn’t kill anyone! I’ve been wronged!”

“Wen Nianyou said you killed someone.”

Hearing the name Wen Nianyou, Shi Youjin noticeably hesitated.

Then, he shook his head, “What does she know? She just believes whatever other people tell her.”

“She says she knows why you killed someone, why does she know everything, why don’t I know? Dad, is there something you haven’t told me?”

“Xiaoyi, she’s talking nonsense. Don’t you believe your dad?”

Shi Youjin looked pained, “Everything I’ve told you is true, I didn’t kill anyone. Everyone else might not believe me, but you’re my daughter; you have to believe me! You’re all I have left, Xiaoyi.”

After he was imprisoned, Lin Yueqin had divorced him, and she had never visited – the only one who steadfastly visited was Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi looked at his aged and painful expression, and her heart was also in torment.

She had come today actually to probe Shi Youjin.

Because Wen Nianyou had spoken with such certainty and confidence, it had planted seeds of doubt in her mind.

She was despicable, she shouldn’t have wavered. Dad wouldn’t lie to her.
