Chapter 709: No one is as good as others

Zhou Mingchen glanced at Xu Yi and said, "Minglan didn't mean to harm Wenyue."

"I didn't want to harm her, I just wanted to find someone..."

"Don't say that again!"

There were people outside the office, and Zhou Mingchen didn't know how many people heard it. The room should have good sound insulation, but the more people knew about it, the worse it would be.

He covered Xu Yi's mouth and whispered, "Stop talking."

Xu Yi pushed him away forcefully, "Why can't I speak? I'm not dumb!"

Xu Yi looked at Zhou Mingchen and said, "I ask you, why didn't you call the police? You could have called the police in Country Y or in Jiangcheng..."

Do you want him to send the sister he has raised for more than 20 years to jail?

Zhou Mingchen thought about this problem all day, but after thinking it over, he came to the conclusion: it can't be done.

He simply couldn't do it.

He couldn't bear to do this.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Yi already had the answer in his mind.

"It's up to you. I have evidence in my hands. I'll ask Song Yanming to make a copy and I'll give it to the police myself."

Xu Yi was about to leave, but Zhou Mingchen suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Mingxin, I can promise you anything, just stop making trouble."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Xu Yi's hand was a little painful because of him, "Or do you like Zhou Minglan?"

"No."

Just a sister, always a sister.

Zhou Minglan is his family.

There was no way he could do this to his own family.

"Then send her to the police station. Shouldn't she pay the price?"

"I already beat her."

Xu Yi smiled, "How did you beat her? Beating her is a life, can you solve it? Have you ever seen how Xia Wenyue's parents are living now? Do you understand how much it costs for ordinary families in Jiangcheng to send their daughters abroad? Zhou Minglan destroyed a family and killed a person with a bright future!"

The same thing happened to Qi Yu. She was imprisoned by Huo Yunhua at her happiest moment.

Because his own mother had also encountered the same thing, Xu Yi couldn't bear to stand by and watch.

"You went to meet her parents. What did you tell them?"

Xu Yi's heart sank.

She was still betting that if Zhou Mingchen pursued the matter to the end, helped Xia Wenyue vent her anger, and sent Zhou Minglan to the police station for ten years or so, she still felt that he could be saved.

The result turned out to be like this.

From this point of view, she is the outsider, and Zhou Mingchen and Zhou Minglan are the real siblings.

Xu Yi did not answer Zhou Mingchen's words, but looked at the face within his sight.

She looked at him closely, blurting out her thoughts, "If Xia Wenyue knew you were this kind of person, she would definitely regret pursuing you. Zhou Minglan harmed Xia Wenyue for a reason. Is her feeling for you really like a brother or sister, or have you been deceiving yourself all along?"

Zhou Mingchen's pupils shrank slightly: "Mingxin, this is the last time I will tolerate you saying such things."

"the last time?"

Xu Yi shook off his hand, "Don't worry, Zhou Mingchen, there won't be a next time. I won't look for you again. Even without you, I can still find a way to rescue my mother. Even without you, I can still send Zhou Minglan to jail!"

Xu Yi just shook it off, but Zhou Mingchen grabbed it again: "This matter ends here. I will compensate the Xia family! The dead cannot be resurrected."

He was angry, he was so angry that he couldn't control himself, but he couldn't send Zhou Minglan to jail for this.

Zhou Minglan cannot go to jail. Her life will be ruined if she does.

Xia Wenyue was a kind person. If she were still alive, she would definitely not have the heart to ruin another woman's future just to vent her anger.

"How do you make amends? Life for life!"

"Xia Wenyue died of complications during childbirth. Mingxin didn't kill her."

"Xia Wenyue had a difficult labor? How could she have a difficult labor if she wasn't pregnant? Why was she pregnant? Wasn't it because Zhou Minglan was so vicious that she allowed several men to defile her..."

"enough!"

Zhou Mingchen raised his hand and slapped Xu Yi, "Shut up!"

Zhou Mingchen regretted the slap, but if he didn't do so, there was no way to save Zhou Minglan.

"Give Minglan another chance, Mingxin, give her another chance. I told myself in my heart that this is the last time. If she does it again, I will never let her go. I will kill her myself..."

Xu Yi didn't believe it anymore, "I won't believe anything you say anymore."

This incident made her see through Zhou Mingchen. He was a selfish person who only considered his own feelings.

"If I had not been adopted by the Song family and had grown up in a poor mountain valley, my fate might have been even worse than Xia Wenyue's. If I had met Zhou Minglan at that time, and if Zhou Minglan had a brother who indulged her like this, I'm afraid I would have died countless times and no one would have known."

Xu Yi covered her face. Zhou Mingchen's slap was very light, almost just to scare her, and it touched her face.

Just a gentle stroke.

But that action and his attitude of protecting Zhou Minglan made her unacceptable.

"As for Zhou Minglan, I will definitely find a way to hand over the evidence to the police."

"Mingxin, don't be willful."

"It's ridiculous. Why is it that I am being willful when I do this? But she is not being willful when she hires someone to abuse an innocent woman like that?"

Zhou Mingchen was speechless. He was not in the right, and he knew it in his heart.

"You never thought about rescuing Mom, nor did you think about sending Zhou Minglan to jail. You protected her again and again. I was afraid that one day Zhou Minglan would kill me, and you would only come to persuade me and tell me, Mingxin, forgive her one more time, for the last time."

As he spoke, Xu Yi showed a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face, "Zhou Mingchen, you are a disgusting person with no bottom line. Brother? You don't deserve it! I will return all the shares of the Zhou family to you. Only mother belongs to me. You and I have nothing to do with Zhou Minglan!"

After saying that, Song Yanming opened the door and came in. The man had a sullen face, and Zhou Mingchen was not sure if he had heard anything.

He said to Song Yanming, "Persuade her."

"She's right. There's nothing to advise her."

Song Yanming said this coldly and reached out to Xu Yi, "I support her no matter what she does."

"Song Yanming!"

"Who do you think you are? Without her, I wouldn't even bother dealing with you. We are not the same kind of people."

Zhou Mingchen was tense all over. Xu Yi felt relieved and was about to leave hand in hand with Song Yanming.

"You turned against me because of an outsider. In your heart, I am not even as good as an outsider?"

The obedient and lovely sister finally grew up and became rebellious. She no longer listened to her and was not influenced by anyone.

She can take the Zhou family's shares if she wants them and refuse them if she doesn't want them. What does she think of the Zhou family?

"How could that be possible?" Xu Yi glanced at him, "It's obvious that in your heart I am not even as good as an outsider."
