After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 359

Li Fei's face was scratched all over, his whole body was torn back and forth, and he did not know to resist.

The police officer who brought them over pulled people away before giving Li Fei a chance to breathe.

Wang Li's mother was still shouting, "Li Fei, you killed your own wife and daughter. Can your conscience let you go? Why don't you go die? You should go with them, mother and daughter. You will never escape the condemnation of your conscience in your life. You are less than a beast. My god, look, why don't you strike him dead..."

Li Fei was helped up by the police next to him, and his whole head was buzzing.

Wang Li’s mother’s words were like curses, drilling straight into his head, making him feel that he was wrong not to die.

Liu Xuan, who was smoking on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over coldly and questioned Wang Li's mother, "You're wrong. It wasn't anyone else who killed your daughter, it was you yourself who forced her to abandon her husband and daughter. Do you still remember what you said when I found your family? You said that even if your daughter married a beggar in Jincheng, you would not let her marry a country bumpkin. You forced her to swear that she would never care about me again, believing that she used deceitful means to remarry someone else. You must have given a lot of ideas, right? Old lady, the one who killed your daughter was no one else, but you yourself!"

Wasn't Liu Xuan angry?

He had lived with Wang Li for a few years and knew her quite well.

She was not a decisive person, but was easily influenced by those around her.

Although life was hard in the countryside, they were also happy. They had agreed to share the bitterness and be together for life.

He had sent many letters to the address Wang Li left according to the address, but never got a reply. Not until he came here did he know that Wang Li had never received them. It was not difficult to guess where those letters had gone.

If it was one or two letters, it could be explained by losing them. But it was impossible for so many letters to get lost. So someone must have intervened.

And the one who intervened was Wang's family.

Human feelings are very strange. When together, they love each other to death, but even the most love cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Long-term lack of contact will make people suspicious and feelings will slowly fade until finally disappearing.

And at this time, if someone gives some suggestive words, it is easy to confuse people.

Wang Li was not firm enough in her temperament to begin with, and after being persuaded by her family, she was too easily influenced.

"What are you talking nonsense? How could I harm my own daughter?" Wang Li's mother had never been a weak woman, unwilling to give in and said, "It was clearly you who were the culprit. If she had not married and had a daughter with you in the countryside, how could she have fallen into today's situation? It was all your fault."

"If she hadn't married me in the countryside, she would have been bullied by local gangsters long ago. Do you think a beautiful girl alone in the countryside would have a better life?" Liu Xuan said with a cold smile, "I was wrong, wrong that I didn't come to Jincheng to find her earlier, and wrong that I shouldn't have reluctantly agreed to let her come to take the university exam. Are you not wrong? If it weren't for your constant pressure on her, unwilling to let her be with me, no matter how hard our life was, she wouldn't have taken the extreme path. You are the real culprit, so what right do you have to blame others?"

The noisy quarrel outside the police station attracted many onlookers. People talked about it while watching the excitement. There were also people in the know discussing that this was the family of the woman who jumped into the river with her child last night.

The police began to disperse the crowd and stop their noisy quarrel.

Wang Li's parents also regretted it. They had to admit that Liu Xuan was right.

No matter how little feeling they had for their own daughter, it was impossible to have no feelings at all.

But their daughter chose to commit suicide, taking her newborn child with her.

Others were wrong, but the most wrong person was still them. They had forced her to this point today.

Wang Li’s mother couldn’t help but recall her daughter's happy smile when she first mentioned her rural home and child after returning home.

Even when she first tried to stop her from contacting the countryside, she had violent resistance. It was only after a long time that she was slowly persuaded to reach today.

Wang's mother regretfully slapped herself. The "pop pop" sound was enough to prove her regret in her heart.

If she could do it again, she would rather be the one dead.

But there was never regret medicine in this world. People were gone and could never come back.

Zhi Xia also reflected on herself.

Even if Wang Li and Li Fei had gotten a marriage certificate, she could have told the truth at that time and let Li Fei make a choice before the child was born. Maybe things would not have developed to today's situation.

But she felt Wang Li had bad character, and she also felt things were already set in stone. Telling the truth at that point would only increase distress on both sides, so she chose to ignore it.

She also bore responsibility for Wang Li’s suicide. This realization made Zhi Xia feel depressed.

When An Zhiang returned home, he was scolded by his grandmother, "Your sister was taken away by the police. Didn't you know to go with her? She's a girl. What if she gets scared?"

When being scolded, he had just taken his daughter from his wife. He had finally come back for a few days and had to hold her more.

But after being reminded like this, An Zhiang realized there was some truth to this.

He handed his daughter back to his wife and said, "Hold her first. I'll go pick up my little sister."

Seeing him run out the door in a panic, Su Ying was still explaining to the old lady, "You don't know him yet. He's always crude. How could he pay attention to these things?"

The old lady sighed. Hearing that An Zhiang said it also involved a dead person, she didn't know if it was a big problem or not.

She only hoped it had nothing to do with her granddaughter. The first half of this child's life had eaten up all the bitterness of this life. The second half should go smoothly and carefreely.

When An Zhiang arrived outside the police station, he happened to see a whole drama unfold. He walked to Zhi Xia and asked her, "What happened? Are you okay?"

Zhi Xia shook her head, "It's fine now. Let's go home."

When they got home, they were met with care and concern from grandparents again.

The death was like a lamp going out, and the events of the past also passed away like clouds and smoke.

Zhi Xia was also invited to Wang Li's funeral.

Since she was a married daughter, she could not be buried in her natal family's grave. In addition, the guilt from the two lives lost also made Li Fei realize how ridiculous his previous entanglement had been.

And this matter, which could not be clearly attributed as anyone's fault or blame, would forever become an uncrossable mark in his heart, affecting his entire life.

The Jincheng Daily widely reported on this matter, which also brought great influence to Li Fei's life, including inflicting harm on his parents amid endless rumors.

No one talked about Wang Li's fault in cheating marriage anymore, because she was dead. The dead took priority, so all blame had to be borne by the living.

Although she left a suicide note that she resented no one and only regretted her previous harm to others, no one would care about such things.

It was later that she found out Li Fei had sold the house here and left with his parents.

As for where he went, he didn't tell anyone.

In June, after half a year of hesitation and investigation, Zhi Xia finally decided to enter the household appliance industry.

There was currently an extreme lack of appliances on the market, not to mention that prices were also very expensive, and product variety was very limited.

She asked Wu Lei to help contact Hong Kong merchants with connections, preparing to assemble components first. The reason she made this decision was also the news Wu Lei revealed that there were already several small workshops in Shenzhen's side.

Jincheng was at an early stage of development, with large tracts of vacant land. Zhi Xia had her eyes on the plot not far from the textile factory next door.

It was a very large vacant lot that nearby residents used to grow vegetables, but this plot of land belonged to the government. It was originally allocated to the textile factory for expansion in previous years but was never built, so it was left vacant.

Buying land already had channels. Liu Xuan had spent a lot of effort finding people from the government back then. In fact, Pei JianGuo worked in the government. No matter how high or low his position was, it would definitely be most convenient to ask him for help, but Zhi Xia was unwilling to get entangled with him and might as well ask Liu Xuan for help.

The traditions the Chinese people have left behind for thousands of years are talked about at the dinner table.

This time it was Zhi Xia who talked in person, with Liu Xuan accompanying her. Since she had decided to take this path, she would inevitably have to frequently deal with such occasions in the future, and she couldn’t have others stand up for her every time.

The 5 mu of vacant land, not even half the area of the Hua Sheng Hotel, was sold at the same price as the land under the Hua Sheng Hotel when it was first sold.

The reason being, the state had already issued orders for Jincheng to be named one of the four pilot commodity housing sales cities, and real estate was to be aggressively developed next, with land prices naturally unable to be compared to before.

In just half a year, prices had doubled, making Liu Xuan grateful that he had listened to advice and was willing to spend more money to obtain the land.

Not to mention the profits to be made after opening the Hua Sheng Hotel, just leaving this piece of land barren for now had doubled in value.

Since it was a transaction, the other party couldn't just name any price they wanted. After some bargaining back and forth, another 10,000 yuan was saved, and the 50-year lease for this plot of land was finally obtained for 150,000 yuan.

Pei JianGuo didn’t know if something was wrong with his eyes, but he actually saw Zhi Xia at his workplace!

He saw her enter his supervisor’s office with a man, and they were even welcomed in by the secretary. When they came out, the secretary was also extremely polite.

"What are you doing here?" Pei JianGuo walked over in surprise and asked.

The secretary who had seen them out was also very surprised to see Pei JianGuo familiar with them, "You guys know each other?"

"I've met them before."

"She’s my aunt."

Zhi Xia and Pei JianGuo spoke at the same time.

The secretary was even more surprised. Zhi Xia quickly explained, "In the family hierarchy I'm a bit senior, I didn't expect to meet my junior family member here today either, hope I didn't make you laugh."

"No, not at all." The secretary was just very surprised. Since they were relatives, it was odd that Zhi Xia had brought an outsider she didn't know to facilitate this.

The contract had already been signed, and Zhi Xia did not intend to explain too much before taking her leave.

After she left, the secretary looked at Pei JianGuo with a smile, and said, "Secretary Pei sure keeps a low profile, huh."

There were ranks even amongst secretaries, and it was obvious Pei JianGuo was one of the more inconspicuous ones.

Zhi Xia was a shareholder of Hua Sheng, and was now also handling the appliance factory, so this relationship breakthrough also indirectly gave Pei JianGuo a leg up, at the very least making upper management see his value.

But there were still some dubious points. If their relationship was good, why did Zhi Xia seem like she didn't want others to know of their connection, and it was Pei JianGuo who had blurted it out instead. Also with the land purchase, she hadn't sought Pei JianGuo’s help either.

It had to be said, things were different from previous years now, all local governments were clamoring for investments, and anyone who could find connections was making political achievements.

Zhi Xia didn't know this trip would dredge up so much, otherwise she really would have just let Liu Xuan come instead.

With the land contract signed, she sank into even busier days.

From building the factory warehouses, to getting all sorts of approvals and permits, she had to handle everything personally.

In between, she specially took a trip to Shenzhen, to sign a shipment contract with the suppliers from Hong Kong.

The Hong Feng Appliance Factory was completely constructed successfully in November of the second half of the year. To save money, many items were provided from the modern plane, but it wasn’t possible to purchase everything from the planar platform, she still had to keep up appearances that everything was aboveboard.

The factory had just been set up, the initial development was crucial.

Zhi Xia designated electric fans to be the first product assembled, and all necessary components were also transported in batches by the transport team, now all that was left was hiring workers for assembly. As long as everything went smoothly, they would completely make the market demand for electric fans before next summer’s heat wave.

Just as everything was going smoothly on her end, Pei JianGuo asked Gao Second Sister about getting married again.

But the result was the same as before, still rejected, although she gave reasons for her refusal, Pei JianGuo still felt awful.

It was clearly her who had first shown feelings towards him, leading him step by step into her trap, and even made him willing to pay a huge price to get divorced for her sake.

Gao Second Sister had always been very good to him, never rejecting his touches, although they never actually crossed the final line, which Pei JianGuo was quite dissatisfied about, but still made allowances because she was a woman who valued her chastity.

But she just refused to register their marriage no matter what he said.

Pei JianGuo couldn’t help but start having doubts. Did Gao Second Sister really love him as much as he thought?

Also, was she paying too much attention to Zhi Xia’s matters?

He knew their past relationship, and was even willing to stand up against his father and uncle for her sake, but Gao Second Sister’s repeated rejections inevitably started to wear down his enthusiasm, no matter how ardent he was.

Returning home from Gao Second Sister’s place, Wang Yue urged him again, “How was it? Did Gao Second Sister agree to marry you?”

Pei JianGuo shook his head dejectedly, no longer wanting to talk.

“You’re so stupid, it’s been so long since the divorce and you still haven’t brought her home as a bride. I heard there’s family planning campaigns being forcibly implemented in many places this year, you can’t keep dragging this out, or it’ll be difficult to have kids in the future.”
