Chapter 117 Murder Diary
Chapter 117 Murder Diary
Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Fu were so shocked that their mouths could not close. This man was too terrible. How could he divorce his wife just to protect himself?
Everyone in the audience looked very shocked, but Mrs. Yi seemed to not believe her ears. She stared at Yi Zhongtian in a daze, and after a minute, she roared heartbreakingly:
"You want to sell me out? Yi Zhongliang, you want to sell me out to please Madam Li? We have been married for almost 30 years, from campus to wedding dresses, everyone envies me for having a husband who loves me, but now, you want to divorce me to protect yourself!?"
Yi Zhongliang's chest was heaving with anger, and he said angrily: "Look at how many ridiculous things you have done over the years. You bully the weak and fear the strong. You have bullied hundreds of people, if not thousands. You have offended so many people, but I was the one who settled them for you. How much more do you want me to love you? How long are you going to make trouble? Will you be satisfied only when you destroy the entire Yi family!?"
After saying that, he pushed Mrs. Yi away, walked to Li Linzhou, took a deep breath, lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Li, my wife is ignorant and offended Madam Li. I have now severely let her know the consequences of making mistakes. In the future, she will never appear in front of Madam Li to cause trouble. Do you think this result is satisfactory?"
Li Linzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him. After what happened to Li Jingyan, no matter how shocking the things he encountered were, he didn't seem to be that shocked anymore.
In order to save himself, he abandoned his wife of thirty years. I had only seen such things in TV dramas before, but I didn't expect to encounter it myself.
Li Linzhou said calmly: "It's okay as long as you don't feel heartbroken."
This short sentence was like a sharp blade, piercing Yi Zhongliang's heart. How could he not be heartbroken? The woman he had loved for more than 30 years, now had to give her up, of course he was reluctant to do so.
But if they can't bear to part with her, the Yi family will suffer. The Yi family's careful planning for so many years cannot be ruined in an instant.
Yi Zhongtian smiled bitterly, looked at Li Linzhou, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for not pursuing the matter. I will definitely write a self-criticism and a confession after I go back, and hand it to you in person tomorrow."
Li Linzhou looked at Zhan Ruoyin and said to Yi Zhongliang indifferently, "Take your ex-wife and leave. My mother doesn't want to see you again."
Yi Zhongtian nodded, grabbed Mrs. Yi's arm, not allowing her to struggle at all, and dragged the stunned Mrs. Yi away.
Zhan Ruoyin watched their backs getting smaller and smaller before she turned around and looked at the ladies who were already frightened out of their wits. They were all stunned. Mrs. Yi was abandoned like this. Wasn't it said that Mr. Yi doted on Mrs. Yi? If Mrs. Yi felt a little uncomfortable, Mr. Yi would be very nervous. He even fetched water for Mrs. Yi to wash her feet in winter, for fear that she would catch a cold.
Zhan Ruoyin smiled calmly, raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you looking at? Stop looking. Remember, men are unreliable. If you continue to bully the weak and fear the strong in the future, the consequences of encountering a tough guy will be the same as Mrs. Yi, or perhaps even worse than her."
Zhan Ruoyin dismissed them, leaving only Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Sheng, Li Linzhou and Yin Xi at the scene.
Seeing that Mrs. Fu was at a loss as to what to say or do, Yin Xi walked up to her and said, "Mrs. Fu, the wedding venue in front was smashed to pieces by the Fang family. Why don't you go and take care of the business first?"
Zhan Ruoyin just remembered this matter, and she quickly said to Mrs. Fu: "Yes, it was my fault for calling you here, but it made the people in front more and more angry and no one stopped them."
Mrs. Fu pursed her lips, looking calm. When she heard what Zhan Ruoyin said, she laughed in her heart. She thought it would be better for her to show a shocked expression. She immediately widened her eyes and said in astonishment:
"The wedding scene was messed up? What happened? Madam Li, Madam Sheng, I'm sorry I can't chat with you. I'm going to go see what happened. There are cakes and drinks here. Please feel free to use them. I'm so sorry."
Zhan Ruoyin shook her head, smiled at her, and motioned her to go quickly.
The moment Mrs. Fu turned and left, her expression suddenly became cold, and the shock and smile on her face disappeared.
She had known about the Fang family's prank on the wedding a long time ago, and she had no intention of taking corresponding measures. If it went wrong, then Yixun wouldn't be able to marry Qin Yunian. At least it would be a joke, and Fu Yixun and Qin Yunian would be embarrassed far beyond the radius of a hundred miles. Everyone would know what kind of woman Qin Yunian was, and whoever dared to curry favor with her would probably stay away from her and feel disgusted just by seeing her.
The Fu family's wedding ended in failure. The entire upper class society in Kyoto knew that Qin Yunian had snatched away the Fang family's marriage, and that Qin Yunian's biological mother had snatched away Fang Zhi's father. The mother and daughter were ridiculed and mocked, like rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to beat them up. Even attending parties would make them isolated. After all, Qin Yunian was the daughter-in-law of the top wealthy family, the Fu family, but she could never get respect from others.
The public opinion was very measured. Instead of saying that Fu Yixun had changed his mind and broken the contract, they only said that Qin Yunian was a green tea bitch who stole men.
Li Linzhou heard the employees in the company gossiping about this matter. He closed his eyes, tightly grasped the pen in his hand, and resisted the urge to think about Qin Yunian.
He stayed up late to work for several days in a row, focusing all his attention on work so that he would not have the time to think about Qin Yunian.
If there is a ranking of the secrets of wealthy families, then the matter of Qin Yunian and Fu Yixun would definitely be at the top of the list. On the other hand, the fact that the Yi family offended Mrs. Li and Yi Zhongliang divorced Mrs. Yi was only known to those who were present at the time, and no one dared to spread it. Given the status of the Li family, who would dare to talk about it casually?
Half a month passed in a flash, and Fu Yixun was afraid of public opinion, so he slowly gave up the idea of holding another wedding. After all, this time was different from the last time. Many people were prejudiced against Qin Yunian, and they didn't treat her well. Fu Yixun was too lazy to pay attention to them, so the wedding was put on hold. Qin Yunian made a fuss for a long time and cried for a long time, but it was never done.
Among the entire Fu family, only Fu Yixun and Qin Yunian looked sad.
During the past half month, Zhan Ruoyin went to the northwest to visit Li Xiangshu and Sheng Muqun. They were filming the last episode of a romance variety show. While traveling, Zhan Ruoyin took the opportunity to discuss the engagement time with them when they were free.
The plan is that after Zhan Ruoyin goes to an isolated island abroad to find Li Jingyan, during this period, let them get along with each other. After all, they say they love each other now, but after a long time, if they find something in the other party that they can't stand, they can break up at any time, there is no need to force it.
After all, it was Li Jingyan who planned for them to be in love, and the Sheng family had a close relationship with Li Jingyan, and there was a deal between Sheng Muqun and Li Jingyan. Although Sheng Muqun had come to his senses and turned back, Li Jingyan still had evil intentions, and Zhan Ruoyin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It was already afternoon when Zhan Ruoyin brought Fan Mingyang and a group of bodyguards to the isolated island.
Zhan Ruoyin was surprised to find that the villa was surrounded by pink roses, which were her favorite flowers. After asking the housekeeper, she found out that it was Li Jingyan who asked to plant them.
Zhan Ruoyin smacked her lips. Her hatred for Li Jingyan had reached the point where they both felt it was a very uncomfortable thing to have the same hobbies.
The housekeeper took Zhan Ruoyin to the villa to find Li Jingyan. From the front yard to the living room of the villa, the whole way was silent and there was not even a single person in sight.
The villa is very large and tall, with a typical medieval architectural style. Apart from Li Jingyan and Butler Qian, there is no one else in the villa.
There were no electronic products or communication equipment here. There were only two engines in the basement to maintain the villa's electricity. There was not even an electronic alarm clock. On the walls of the old Western-style building, there was a round wooden clock. Zhan Ruoyin looked around and saw no one in the empty living room. She asked Butler Qian:
"Where's Li Jingyan?"
Butler Qian pursed his lips, somewhat helplessly: "You came too suddenly, I didn't have time to tell the Fourth Master, at this time, he should be reading on the balcony on the second floor. Apart from eating, sleeping and weekly psychological treatment, the Fourth Master spends his time reading on the balcony and basking in the sun."
Zhan Ruoyin snorted softly. She wanted to come here unexpectedly so that Li Jingyan would be caught off guard and would not have time to hide his evil intentions.
Fan Mingyang, accompanied by four bodyguards, followed Zhan Ruoyin, and led by Butler Qian, they went up to the second floor. The second floor was full of books and antique paintings. Zhan Ruoyin looked around and did not find anything unusual.
Zhan Ruoyin stopped and crossed her arms, saying, "I don't like being illuminated by the setting sun. Let Li Jingyan come to the study and talk to me."
Butler Qian didn't dare to say a word, he could only nod and say, "Okay, Madam, I'll go call the Fourth Master right away."
Butler Qian had a serious and solemn expression. He pushed open the balcony door, walked up to Li Jingyan, and said with a smile, "Fourth Master, Madam is here. She brought a lot of books you like and is waiting to see you in the study."
Li Jingyan was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs covered with a white blanket, reading a book seriously. Hearing these words, he tightened his fingers on the book. He looked up in disbelief, with a flash of joy in his eyes, but his expression remained calm as water. He said in an elegant and gentle voice:
"Oh, then push me to see my sister-in-law."
Li Jingyan closed the book, leaned back in the wheelchair, and let out a light breath. Butler Qian quickly pushed Li Jingyan to see Zhan Ruoyin.
Zhan Ruoyin was already sitting on the office chair in the study. There was a book on the table. She picked it up and looked at the cover, then flipped through a few pages. Only then did she realize that it was a book written entirely in French. It was folded at page 100. It must be that Li Jingyan had only read this far and had not had time to read the rest.
But the cover of this book was mottled and the paper was slightly yellowed, obviously it had been read more than once. Zhan Ruoyin thought to herself, this book is so good, Li Jingyan actually read it so many times.
Zhan Ruoyin didn't know what the content was, so she simply flipped through a few pages. Butler Qian's voice came from the door: "Madam, the Fourth Master is here."
Pushing Li Jingyan to the opposite side of Zhan Ruoyin, Butler Qian wisely left the room.
Zhan Ruoyin raised her eyes and was about to speak, but Li Jingyan got there first. He smiled at Zhan Ruoyin and said, "Sister-in-law is here. How come you have time to come here to see me? I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."
Zhan Ruoyin closed the book, and she looked into Li Jingyan's eyes, a faint smile on her lips: "You are so smart, you must know why I came here. I don't want to see you again, but I don't want you to play tricks on my child anymore."
Li Jingyan looked at Zhan Ruoyin calmly with a calm expression: "Sister-in-law, do you hate me so much? If you have the chance to kill me, will you do it?"
Zhan Ruoyin was stunned. Li Jingyan's words were so straightforward that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm. She didn't understand what he meant. She sneered and said, "Why shouldn't I do this? Li Jingyan, you'd better behave yourself and don't have any evil thoughts. The old man is no longer able to protect you. Everyone in the Li family already knows what kind of person you are. They won't plead for you!"
Li Jingyan lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "Oh, I didn't need the old man's protection before, and I don't need it now."
Zhan Ruoyin was furious when she heard this. She slapped the table hard and glared at Li Jingyan, burning with anger: "What do you mean by this, Li Jingyan, are you planning something again? You are indeed a bad seed from heaven without conscience. You have been doing bad things all your life, and no one can change you."
Li Jingyan didn't want Zhan Ruoyin to be angry, and didn't want them to be on edge as soon as they met. He sighed slightly in his heart and assured Zhan Ruoyin: "Sister-in-law, I promise you that I will never harm anyone in the Li family again. I hope you don't worry too much."
Zhan Ruoyin looked at Li Jingyan hesitantly, not daring to believe her ears. How could she trust the assurance of a born bad guy? How much truth and how much falsehood, how much sincerity and how much falsehood were in his words?
"What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly just now." Zhan Ruoyin stood up, walked around the desk, walked in front of Li Jingyan, and stared into Li Jingyan's eyes carefully.
Li Jingyan exhaled slightly. He knew that Zhan Ruoyin had heard it clearly, but Zhan Ruoyin asked him to say it again. He patiently said, "Sister-in-law, I promise you that I will never plot against anyone in the Li family again, including the Li family's bodyguards."
Zhan Ruoyin frowned, "What bodyguard? Have you ever plotted against the Li family's bodyguard?"
Li Jingyan blinked and said bluntly: "Gu Xin must no longer be with my sister-in-law. He has evil intentions towards you and is no longer suitable to be your bodyguard."
Zhan Ruoyin widened her eyes and felt a little scared. Gu Xin had evil intentions towards her. It was Gu Xin's problem. There was nothing wrong with the way Zhan Ruoyin handled it. But Li Jingyan was actually involved in this?
"Yes, it was you who told Fan Mingyang about Gu Xin's matter, and then asked him to tell me so that you could clear yourself of the matter completely?" Zhan Ruoyin said incoherently.
Li Jingyan's lips curled up into a faint smile, his eyes were filled with tenderness, and his gentle voice was extremely pleasant to the ear: "I have never thought of clearing myself from the matter, otherwise I would not have told you that I was involved in this matter."
Zhan Ruoyin did not refute him, but she didn't understand why he did this. It was Gu Xin's business that he had evil intentions towards her. If the matter got out of hand, at most Zhan Ruoyin would be ridiculed for a while, but what did this have to do with Li Jingyan.
Are you afraid that the Li family’s reputation will be damaged?
Zhan Ruoyin sneered. Li Jingyan was the least worthy person to mention the reputation of the Li family. If what he had done were made public, the Li family would probably have been caught in the center of public opinion, with rumors and accusations flying everywhere.
Zhan Ruoyin crossed her arms, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Why did you do this? You are stretching your hands too far. You even want to interfere in such matters. What else in the Li family do you not have calculated?"
Li Jingyan's eyes were filled with deep thoughts: "Sister-in-law, I am bad, bad to the core, but I am not a nosy person. There are very few things in this world that I care about."
Zhan Ruoyin felt like she was going crazy talking to Li Jingyan. He was a psychopath. Anyway, he was already here. No matter how many people he had plotted against, fortunately no one was hurt. He would have to stay on this isolated island from now on and could not leave at all. So Zhan Ruoyin didn't want to bother with him about the past.
Zhan Ruoyin smiled coldly, said nothing, walked to the bookshelf, took out a very thick book, handed it to Li Jingyan, and said, "I want to read this book, but the whole text is in French, I can't understand it, can you help me translate it for one hour every morning and afternoon for the next week?"
This was a blatant dilemma. Zhan Ruoyin originally thought that Li Jingyan would be very reluctant or annoyed. After all, he had been pampered since he was a child and others had always served him. There was no time for him to serve others.
The next second, Zhan Ruoyin heard Li Jingyan's cheerful voice: "Okay, sister-in-law, do you want me to translate directly orally or on paper?"
Zhan Ruoyin looked at Li Jingyan in disbelief, and then said expressionlessly: "Interpretation, I want you to read it to me in person."
Li Jingyan took the book, glanced at the title, frowned, and said, "This is a French fisherman's documentary murder diary. It's a bit violent and bloody, but my sister-in-law wants to read it, so I'll delete some clips appropriately."
"Li Jingyan, are you serious?" Zhan Ruoyin just wanted to express her attitude towards Li Jingyan and embarrass him appropriately, but she didn't expect Li Jingyan to agree all of a sudden. This made it difficult for Zhan Ruoyin to react and answer, after all, she didn't expect there would be any follow-up.
"Yeah, seriously."
