Chapter 37 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 17)

Jiang Shan forgot about Mei Li since he was distracted by Little Moon. There was no time for him to tell Wei Yue Er. When the reporter appeared, everyone was caught off guard.

That day, Li Su and Wei Yue Er were walking around the community with Little Moon when a group of reporters appeared out of nowhere. When they saw Li Su and Wei Yue Er, they surrounded the two of them and asked, “Young Miss Wei, what do you think of your husband’s ex-girlfriend, Young Miss Mei, being arrested and imprisoned for intentional homicide?”

“I heard that your family intervened in their relationship. Your father gave Young Miss Mei five hundred thousand yuan and threatened her to leave Mr. Jiang. Is this true?”

“Are you Mr. Jiang’s mother? Do you know about this? Do you have any thoughts on your in-law’s deception?”

Little Moon was so frightened that she cried. Wei Yue Er was also pale and shaking.

Li Su hugged Little Moon, then handed her to Wei Yue Er. She then pushed the mother and daughter behind her. “I don’t know where you gossipy reporters got this information. If you want to know the truth and want to interview us, you can find another way instead of using this method of surrounding old and weak women and children!”

The reporters were well-versed in battles, so they wouldn’t shrink back because of Li Su’s words.

“So you do know about your son and Young Miss Mei. What do you have to say about Young Miss Mei saying that you lick your daughter-in-law’s shoes because you are greedy for the Wei family’s property?”

It just so happened that the security guard of the community quickly rushed over at this time. Li Su saw him and quickly escorted Wei Yue Er over. At this time, she was very grateful for her powerful abilities. The 108 kg man was pushed away. “Hurry, take them home. Leave this to me!”

The security captain knew who Wei Yue Er was. Due to negligence, they had let the reporters in. If anything had happened to Wei Yue Er or her daughter, they would not be able to bear the consequences. They hastily tried their best to escort Wei Yue Er and Little Moon out of the reporter’s encirclement to return them home.

When Li Su saw that Wei Yue Er and Little Moon had left safely, she was relieved. She then began to deal with the reporters. “Fine, don’t be noisy. Let’s talk in a different place.” When she saw a reporter who didn’t want to give up and instead wanted to catch up, Li Su got angry and grabbed the man’s backpack, dragging him back abruptly.

The reporter was a little surprised. Although he wasn’t heavy, he still weighed 84 kg. Did this old lady grow up eating spinach? Why was she so strong?!

Perhaps it was because Li Su did this, or it was because of the group of security guards watching from afar, but the reporters went silent and acquiesced to Li Su’s arrangement.

Li Su took the reporters to the security captain’s office. “Speak, where did you hear about these matters? Did Mei Li tell you?”

As soon as they heard this, they were like sharks who smelled blood in the water. “You’re right. We did hear it from Young Miss Mei. Have you not seen her interview? Would you like to see it?”

A female reporter wanted to pull out the interview report and show Li Su.

Li Su rolled her eyes and said, “No need. I don’t need to look at it to know what she said. Since you are all here today, I can’t let you go back empty-handed. How would you explain it to your boss? I will only say this once. In the future, our families won’t express any further opinions on this matter.”

The reporters immediately opened their eyes and looked at Li Su, wondering what astounding secret she would reveal.

“When my son was in college, he was in a relationship with Mei Li for a few years. Later, my son accidentally saved a girl from a drunkard when he was on his way home from work. This girl is my current daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law fell in love with my son because of this. Later, she learned that my son had a girlfriend and was very sad, but she did not pester my son. It was my in-laws who loved their daughter and gave Mei Li money to leave my son. I admit that my in-laws did not do the right thing, but they were eager to make their daughter happy. But, did Mei Li have good intentions? If she was really sincere, then she wouldn’t have taken my in-law’s terms. Moreover, my in-laws initially offered two hundred thousand, but Mei Li asked for five hundred thousand yuan before she was willing to leave my son. After taking the money, she told my son that the Wei family threatened her with my son’s future and that her family needed the money, so she broke up with him. She also told my son she had only gotten two hundred thousand, Li Su said carefully.

“From this incident, you can see what kind of person Mei Li is. She lied to her boyfriend of three years. How reliable is her statement?” Li Su said disdainfully. “My son only got together with my daughter-in-law two months after breaking up with Mei Li. Then, they got married. Therefore, my daughter-in-law wasn’t a mistress and my son has nothing to apologise to Mei Li for.”

“I heard that you were not there when your son and daughter-in-law got married. Did you not know about it? Or were you dissatisfied with the marriage?” a reporter asked.

“To be honest, when my son got married, I didn’t attend. My son called before, but I didn’t want to come. I was not satisfied with my son’s attitude of doing things first, then telling me about it later. Everyone knows that I am a widow. It was not easy to raise my son with hard work. But, he didn’t even discuss major life events with me. I was quite upset,” said Li Su.

“Then why did you come later?”

“Because I understood that I couldn’t harm my son’s life because of my own selfishness. My son is already married. Could I make him divorce? As they say, it is better to destroy ten temples than it is to destroy a marriage. People who do so will be met with divine punishment. Besides, he is still my son. Could I be angry with him for the rest of my life?” Li Su said as she glanced at the reporter.

“I heard from Young Miss Mei that you and your daughter-in-law do not get along. She said that you just love the power of the Wei family, so you have been biding your time. Is this true?”

“She speaks nonsense! The relationship between my daughter-in-law and I is bad? Do I have a good relationship with her? You ask her. Because she pestered my son, I slapped her a few times after. Her chin and nose became crooked as well,” Li Su said disdainfully. “I know what you are going to say. Since I have a good relationship with my daughter-in-law, why would I want to move out? My son and daughter-in-law live in a luxurious house, but why should I rent a house outside? Is that right? Tch, I just don’t want to disturb their lives. We are of two generations. Their living habits are different than mine. If we live together, then there will be conflicts sooner or later. It is better to move out. We can both relax. There is also renting. My daughter-in-law mentioned that she could buy me a house, but I didn’t want that. If I want to buy a house, I will get my son to pay for it. Then, I can live comfortably! If I ask my daughter-in-law to buy it, then what happened to my son?!”

“What about Mei Li? What do you think about her?”

“An opinion? Hmph, she is shameless! It doesn’t matter what my son’s relationship with her before was, but he is now married. She should respect herself and keep a distance from my son! But what about her? Did you check what she did? What did she do after she took the five hundred thousand yuan? She raised a boyfriend, drank a lot, and spent it all. Finally, after she spent it all, she ran back to seduce my son. She is a pretentious force, just like those green tea bitches on TV. She bullied my daughter-in-law. She then asked my son for his contact information in front of my daughter-in-law, but I called her out.” Li Su was very disdainful.

“Later, she said that her parents were going to marry her to an old man in order to get the money for her brother’s betrothal gift. So, she asked my son for help. My son hesitated a bit and she said that my son was cruel and ruthless! Since she had gone to college, she had never contacted her family. Her parents didn’t even know where she was. How would they use her to exchange for a betrothal gift for her brother? Why should my son help her? Is it because they dated before? Now you young people who have been in love a few times, do you lend out money when your ex asks to borrow money? One hundred and eighty thousand is not a small amount. Even if my son had that much money, why should he give it to her?!” Li Su said angrily.

The reporters didn’t expect that there was more to the story, and their eyes shone brightly. Now that they had this information, their manuscript was complete.

“Later, she continued to pester my son. My daughter-in-law was also pregnant at that time. Mei Li also started working for the Wei’s. Since my daughter-in-law also worked there, I was afraid that Mei Li’s actions would affect my daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, so I found my in-laws and got Mei Li fired. I didn’t expect that she would actually try to hit my daughter-in-law’s stomach, which was so vicious. We didn’t do anything to her, but send her back to her hometown. We had no idea what happened to her afterwards. After we found out, we sympathised with her a lot. When her parents didn’t care, my son hired a lawyer to defend her. I admit that my son has done his best by her, but there is nothing to apologise for,” Li Su said seriously.

“Finally, I want to say something to you journalists. Shouldn’t you insist on the truthfulness of the news and be loyal to the truth? Before you came here, did you investigate if the truth of the matter was as Mei Li described? Was it? You don’t even have the most basic ethics as a reporter. How are you not ashamed to call yourself a reporter?” Li Su stood up and her gaze swept over the reporters.

The reporters did not expect that an old rural lady would render them speechless.

“All of what I said is well-documented. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself. We have a clear conscience regarding Mei Li! She is responsible for herself. Nobody else is responsible for her! From today onwards, we will not say anything about this matter. If you still remember that you are reporters, then you should discover the truth yourselves. Don’t do what you did today and bully an old woman and a weak woman and child while my son is not at home!” Then, Li Su darted past the crowd and left.
