Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets
Chapter 103 Let's see who dares
Looking at the crumpled little life in the incubator, Shen Zhiyi's heart finally felt half relieved.
The child is safe and sound; this is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
But then, Su Manman's tearful plea, a tactic of feigned retreat that nailed herself to the pillory of shame as the "pusher," made Su Manman's face turn completely cold.
Facing Zhang Feng's smug face, as if she had already crushed her into the mud, Shen Zhiyi stood up straight, her voice not loud, but each word resounding: "I'll say it one last time, I didn't push her."
"She reached out and grabbed me, using the momentum to fall down."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zhang Feng jumped up as if she'd been stepped on, yelling and pointing at Shen Zhiyi's nose, "Manman is pregnant, her belly is so big, she could die from any bump or fall! Would she be crazy to throw herself on the ground like that?! You've never been pregnant, what do you know?!"
Su Manman immediately played along, her eyes welling up with tears, as she weakly tugged at Xu Zhesheng's sleeve.
"Yes, Sister Zhi... I know you don't want to admit it, but that's the truth... But don't worry, I really don't blame you at all. Look, I'm fine, and the baby is fine too. It's already a blessing from God... I'm just afraid... afraid that if the baby stays with you, what if one day you're upset and accidentally touch her again... What would that be like..."
As she spoke, she carefully snuggled into Xu Zhesheng's arms, perfectly embodying the concern for the child's future, yet subtly imprinting the implication that Shen Zhiyi would intentionally harm the baby into everyone's mind.
"Call the police! We must call the police!"
Zhang Feng was moved to tears by Su Manman's profound understanding and righteousness. Turning to the people around her, she roared, her eyes viciously fixed on Shen Zhiyi, "Arrest this wicked woman! She murdered a pregnant woman and tried to harm my granddaughter! Where are the police?! Who the hell is going to call the police! If I don't get her in jail today, I'm not Xu!"
She was about to rush forward and pull Shen Zhiyi away aggressively when Xu Zhesheng, with a gloomy face, subconsciously took half a step forward, clearly also genuinely angry, intending to tacitly approve of Zhang Feng's actions.
Lu Zichuan's eyes turned cold, his jawline tightened, and he was about to speak.
"Let's see who dares."
A calm, authoritative voice, carrying an undeniable anger, rang out from behind the chaotic crowd.
Everyone turned around in astonishment.
Accompanied by Wang Senlin, who was wearing a white shirt, He Shuyun walked steadily out of the shadows at the corner of the corridor.
She was dressed in a deep purple robe, exuding an air of elegance, but at this moment her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes, which had seen through the ways of the world, were filled with undisguised cynicism.
She didn't look at Zhang Feng, nor at Xu Zhesheng; her gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Su Manman, whose face was pale on the hospital bed.
"I've already had someone retrieve the surveillance footage."
He Shuyun walked to Shen Zhiyi's side, and her dignified aura, which she had long held in high positions, instantly suppressed the smell of disinfectant that filled the corridor.
Although she did not introduce herself, her deep purple robe and the understated jade on her wrist clearly indicated that she was no ordinary person.
Even though she said she had accessed the surveillance footage, Su Manman's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly softened again.
She carefully examined the area when she fell, noting that it was a blind spot for the security cameras.
The fact that the other party checked the surveillance footage was exactly what she wanted. She had calculated that even if there was surveillance, the angle would only show her falling, and then Shen Zhiyi would have even more trouble explaining herself.
Her voice was so weak it sounded as if a single breath could knock her over:
"Auntie, why bother checking the surveillance footage? I really don't blame Sister Zhi, and I will never sue her again... I'm just afraid, afraid that if my child stays with her, she will suffer another unnecessary disaster... Don't worry, even if my mother-in-law wants to call the police, I will kneel down and beg her to drop the charges..."
He Shuyun lowered her eyes, as if watching a clumsy play whose ending she already knew, and spoke slowly and deliberately. Her voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer blow, shattering all the noise in the corridor:
"The purpose of reviewing the surveillance footage is to clarify the truth and prevent anyone from using the victim's name to frame others."
She paused, her gaze like icy needles, first scraping across Zhang Feng's harsh face, then fixing on Su Manman's eyes, a chilling smile curving her lips.
"Besides, isn't it a coincidence that you mentioned that blind spot?"
She spoke each word clearly and distinctly: "On the door frame of the emergency exit next door, there is a high-definition wide-angle motion capture camera."
"I've already had the video sent to me, and I've seen it. It's incredibly clear, capturing every single movement perfectly."
At this point, she glanced at Zhang Feng and Xu Zhesheng again, then held up her phone: "The video is in here, shall we watch it together?"
"Now that you've finished watching, feel free to call the police if you want. I'll also be a witness and see how the police decide this case."
Su Manman's expression froze. How could this be? She had checked several times before. There was only one surveillance camera around, and it was positioned with its back to them. Where did this old woman get the surveillance camera from?
She must be bluffing herself.
Su Manman tugged at Xu Zhesheng's sleeve and cried, "Zhe, I really don't want to tell Sister Zhi, but I can't just be pushed around and not even get an apology or a promise, can I?"
"How can I feel at ease knowing that my child will be registered under her name in the future?"
Then she looked at He Shuyun, tears streaming down her face: "Auntie, I know you're a kind-hearted person, but you may not know the whole story, I..."
As she spoke, she choked up and could barely speak anymore.
Xu Zhesheng quickly comforted her, patting her back: "Manman, don't say anything, I know."
He then looked at He Shuyun and said, "Madam, although I don't know who you are, if you really have evidence, you should show it to us directly instead of just repeating what others say here."
"Manman is a kind-hearted girl; she's not someone you can easily gossip about with just a few words."
Zhang Feng chimed in, "Exactly! Although I haven't known Manman for long, I know she's a good girl. She's usually gentle, unlike some people who are two-faced and tried to steal A Zhe's house while we were away—what a slut!"
Shen Zhiyi bit her lip, wanting to speak, but He Shuyun had already pulled her hand over, patted it gently, and looked at her tenderly, silently saying, "Child, don't be afraid."
Then he turned to look at the family.
When his gaze fell on Xu Zhesheng, his eyes were full of contempt.
She couldn't stand men like Xu Zhesheng who cheated on their wives and sided with the mistress. Although many wealthy people in Beijing liked to have affairs, the Lu family had very strict family rules. Once they committed to someone, it was for life. Such a thing had never happened before.
She looked at Xu Zhesheng as if he were trash, too lazy to waste any more words on him, as if saying another word would sully her mouth.
He tossed his phone forward and said calmly, "Fine, you said you wanted to see it, so look at it carefully and don't say who's wronged whom."
