Priceless Baby's Super Daddy - Chapter 511
Chapter 511: A Scapegoat
Huo Yunshen had asked his friend in the Public Security Department to put in a word with his men and let Xu Xiyan and Qi Liya see Huang Guoqiang. But that wasn’t all; he went a step further and asked his friend to set up a special investigation team to work on the murder case. The sooner the case was solved, the sooner Huang Guoqiang would be cleared of all suspicion.
By the time Xu Xiyan and Qi Liya arrived at the police station, there was already someone waiting at the door to receive them and take their witness testimony. After that, the two women were allowed to meet with Huang Guoqiang.
“Why are the both of you here? Didn’t I tell you not to worry?”
Huang Guoqiang seemed to be in good spirits. He was neither panicked nor tired; he seemed entirely at ease.
“Jing Xi got a friend of hers to let us in. I had to see how you were doing.”
The stone Qi Liya had been carrying in her heart finally fell away when she saw Huang Guoqiang.
“Thank you, Jing Xi.”
Huang Guoqiang now had yet another reason to be grateful to Jing Xi. He was thankful for her integrity, kindness, and willingness to help.
“You’re more than welcome, Director Huang. Why don’t the two of you have a nice long chat? I’ll wait outside.”
Xu Xiyan exited the room, leaving the two of them alone.
She was entirely sympathetic towards Huang Guoqiang because she had been in a similar situation. Xu Xiyan had previously been suspected of murdering Jia Qing; back then, she had felt helpless and vulnerable because no one would believe her.
But Huang Guoqiang had not shown the slightest hint of panic or anxiety in front of his beloved. Instead, he had been the one doing the comforting, telling Qi Liya not to worry.
Xu Xiyan was now fully aware of the relationship between Qi Liya and the two directors.
On the way to the police station, Qi Liya had told Xu Xiyan about her past with Peng Sicheng.
Xu Xiyan had been impressed with Qi Liya’s emotional fortitude. She knew it couldn’t have been easy for Qi Liya to break free from the trauma of her breakup and start over.
Youth was fleeting. It was a waste for a woman to squander her youth on a failed relationship.
Qi Liya had sacrificed the best years of her life to Peng Sicheng, but the director had failed to appreciate her because of his obsession with his career. Xu Xiyan inwardly snorted: whatever, it was Peng Sicheng’s loss.
Everything had worked out for the better now. Qi Liya had chosen Huang Guoqiang, a man who truly loved her. It was the right decision.
It was all right for a woman to choose a man she loved and engage in a passionate, fiery romance with him.
But when it was time to think of marriage, a woman had to find someone who loved and understood her. She had to find a man who was willing to give her all of his heart.
Women were like flowers. They blossomed beautifully with tender loving care. They needed to feel appreciated.
Xu Xiyan wished Huang Guoqiang and Qi Liya the very best in life. She hoped that they would be able to find their happy ending.
…
As Huang Guoqiang was now suspected of murder, production for “Red Sleeved Beauty” had to be suspended.
The murder case attracted a lot of bad press and negative comments on the internet. Huang Guoqiang was now trapped in a whirlpool of negative feedback; it would be difficult for him to pull himself out of it.
Because production had been suspended, everyone involved in the production was now temporarily on vacation.
Xu Xinrou returned to the Xu residence during her time off.
Her mother, Su Rui, had been paying close attention to the case. As soon as she saw Xu Xinrou, she quickly asked, “How’s the situation?”
“Let’s talk inside.”
Xu Xinrou handed her bag to her mother as they walked into the Xu family villa.
Mother and daughter sat down to talk as soon as they were inside. Su Rui asked nervously, “The police won’t suspect you, will they?”
Xu Xinrou had always discussed all her nefarious schemes with her mother. Together, they had come up with the plan to remove Qi Liya’s womb by faking the need for a surgery.
“They’ll never suspect me. I have it all worked out,” said Xu Xinrou confidently. She had already prepared a scapegoat; her plan was completely foolproof.
Her only regret was that she had failed to sabotage Qi Liya. Her hatred for the actress continued to burn inside her.
“Ugh… it’s all Xu Xiyan’s fault. She keeps getting in your way. If she hadn’t stuck her nose where it doesn’t belong, everything would have gone according to plan,” Su Rui said venomously.
“Hmph! She foiled our plan to teach that Qi wench a lesson, but no matter, she’ll pay for it. That bastard child of the family won’t stay arrogant for long!”
Xu Xinrou’s next target for revenge was Xu Xiyan.
It was time to take Xu Xiyan down. Xu Xinrou knew she had to do it ASAP, before Xu Xiyan’s new shows began airing on TV. She did not want to risk having Xu Xiyan overshadow her in popularity.
