Chapter 328: I’m Going to Sue Them for Slander
Chen Miaoying and the Wang Family’s mother and daughter had no intersection in their lives.This is also the reason why Lin Xiang didn’t think in this direction.
But thinking more carefully, Chen Miaoying probably wouldn’t come to Huaqing University, and she couldn’t accurately know what happened at Xingfu Restaurant, so she needed someone to provide her with information.
The Wang Family happened to have a public phone, combining various conditions, it seemed the possibility of both parties teaming up was greater.
However, the police have not yet given a conclusion, and Lin Xiang also found it difficult to make a judgment.
The two sat on a bench at the police station. Cheng Jinyun saw Lin Xiang wrapping her arms around herself, thinking she was cold, he took off his scarf and tied it around her neck.
The scarf still carried Cheng Jinyun’s scent.
But at the time, Lin Xiang was lost in thought and didn’t react.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the police who had taken Cheng Jinyun’s statement came out and said to the two, "The matter is already clear, someone gave a payoff and instructed them to do this. Xingfu Restaurant’s ingredients are clean and hygienic, it can continue normal operations."
The suspicion about Xingfu Restaurant was cleared, but the aftermath of those who caused trouble was not revealed.
Lin Xiang pursued, "Officer, how do we convict the families causing trouble, along with the person behind it?"
"They made trouble in front of Xingfu Restaurant indiscriminately, causing a commotion known to everyone, even if we operate normally, the reputation is implicated, and business will surely be affected. We’ve been framed, are we supposed to swallow this loss quietly?"
"We will sentence according to the circumstances based on the law."
Lin Xiang said, "Can I sue them for defamation?"
If she didn’t pursue, there was a great chance of settling privately.
The police’s intention was for Lin Xiang not to pursue further, but Lin Xiang didn’t want to let go easily.
So, through her reasonable argument, the troublemakers and Wang Lijing were arrested.
When Lin Xiang and Cheng Jinyun returned to Xingfu Restaurant, Mrs. Lin and the sister-in-laws were cleaning up the mess.
"Sisters-in-law, it’s already late, there’s no bus on the road now. In this late night, letting you walk over an hour back against the cold wind makes me feel guilty. How about you rest at my place tonight, and I’ll have my brother call the army?"
Although the four of them could walk home together, it was already nearly ten o’clock, and if they walked back to the army it would be midnight, not very safe, Lin Xiang didn’t want to take the risk.
The sisters-in-law also worried that someone might come to cause trouble after they left, so they agreed.
Wang Family’s phone couldn’t be used anymore, so Cheng Jinyun went to Huaqing University, borrowed the phone from Cheng An’s office, and called the army to explain the situation.
After the mess at Xingfu Restaurant was cleaned up, Lin Xiang was about to close the door and take the sisters-in-law home when Wang Chunhua rushed in, grabbing Lin Xiang’s hands and crying out, "Xiangxiang, your Aunt knows you’re a good child. What Lijing did today was wrong, I apologize on her behalf, could you forgive her?"
"Is saying sorry enough? Can a simple apology compensate for the shock my mother suffered today, or recover the losses at our Xingfu Restaurant?"
Wang Chunhua continued crying, "Aunt knows what Lijing did today was wrong, she shouldn’t have been instigated to deal with you. She’s young and doesn’t understand, can’t you forgive her? If you let it go this once, Aunt guarantees there won’t be trouble ever again, can you?"
Lin Xiang almost laughed angrily at Wang Chunhua’s self-righteous tone.
If she let it go this time, then they wouldn’t cause trouble again?
And she should thank the mother and daughter?
"Aunt Wang, isn’t Wang Lijing older than me? She’s a university graduate, please don’t use the excuse that she’s young and doesn’t understand. Since she’s brave enough to do this, it proves she’s not afraid of being investigated, so why come to me now? Do I look like someone easily bullied?"
Wang Chunhua, having no other options, simply sat on the ground and began throwing a tantrum, "I don’t care, if you don’t agree to settle privately and release my Lijing, I’ll stay here and not leave! Let’s see how you do business tomorrow!"
"Are you sure?"
Wang Chunhua snorted coldly from her nose, turning her head away, her attitude was clear.
Lin Xiang said, "Brother, I need to trouble you to ride your bicycle to the police station again and report that someone..."
"Report what to the police!" Wang Chunhua immediately stood up from the ground, pointing at Lin Xiang’s nose and cursed, "The police belong to you or what, report when you want?"
Lin Xiang pressed down Wang Chunhua’s hand, she exerted a bit of force, Wang Chunhua only felt her fingers being painfully bent back, quickly howling for Lin Xiang to let go.
"If you continue acting up, I’ll send you inside to reunite with your daughter!"
Wang Chunhua realized Lin Xiang was serious this time, no longer daring to cause trouble, she quietly left.
Lin Family.
Lin Xiang found two beds and laid them out in the guest rooms.
"We have limited rooms; I’m afraid you’ll have to make do."
"Nonsense, isn’t it just two people sharing one bed, how’s that making do?"
"It’s getting late, you should sleep early, we’ll open a bit later tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Lin Xiang got up early, only to find the sisters-in-law had risen earlier than her.
"Look at me, I promised to prepare breakfast for you, but I overslept, I really apologize."
Mrs. Qian laughed, "Ah Yun already went to buy breakfast for us. He said you’ve worked hard all week and should use the weekend to sleep in, you can sleep a bit more, don’t worry about us."
Just as she was speaking, Cheng Jinyun had returned with breakfast.
As usual, he bought large meat buns from the state-owned restaurant, but since today there were more people, he couldn’t buy soy milk, so he bought several bottles of milk from the milk station he passed, sharing one bottle each.
After eating the meat buns, none of the sisters-in-law, including Ren Doudou, could bear to drink the milk.
"I’m taking it home for the boy to drink, he hasn’t had bottled milk before."
"Same with my Yingying, I’m taking it home to share among the children."
Lin Xiang said helplessly, "Sisters-in-law, milk has a shelf life of only a few hours, if you don’t drink it now, it’ll spoil by the time you take it home in the afternoon. Won’t that waste it?"
"Ah? Milk spoils? What a pity, I planned to take it home for the kids."
"Same here, now we can only drink it ourselves."
The sisters-in-law sipped the milk, as if tasting delicacies.
In the seventies in Beijing, milk was definitely a luxury, a small bottle costing six mao was worth as much as six ounces of pork.
