Chapter 238: Being Arrested for Prostitution
Fang Xiaonuan knew that her husband would not turn back unless he hit the wall. She had no choice. This was her husband. She could only tell him Liu Siyu’s father’s name.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I’ll make things clear first. You can investigate, but you can’t affect my best friend’s family life. Her mother is a businessman. And if you find out that Liu Siyu isn’t your sister, you can’t exact revenge. Also, her father and brother are both working in the government. You can’t go and cause trouble for them.”
“Do you think I’m the kind of person who would do that?”
Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She did think her husband would be capable of doing that, but she did not dare to admit it. She would definitely get in trouble if she said that.
Ji Lingchen lifted the blanket. Seeing that he was about to leave, Fang Xiaonuan quickly asked, “Where are you going?” She was a little angry. Why did he want to leave her the moment he heard the name ‘Xiaoyu’?
Ji Lingchen looked at his lower body. “I’m going to take a cold shower. Why don’t you help me?”
Fang Xiaonuan’s face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head, not daring to look up at her husband. She could not see anything when he was lying under the blanket just now, and now she was embarrassed.
Ji Lingchen went straight to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of running water, Fang Xiaonuan lay on the bed and picked up her phone. She wanted to contact her friend. “Liu Siyu, are you asleep?”
The Public Security Bureau.
Liu Siyu quickly replied, “Xiaonuan, I was just arrested for prostitution.”
Fang Xiaonuan was speechless.
On Friday afternoon, Liu Siyan took leave so that he could go to his hometown to visit his grandparents. His superior approved it. He picked his sister up at the school gate and drove for nearly five hours before reaching his hometown.
Liu Siyu said, “Brother, I remember now. The speed limit is 60 km/h.”
“Close the web page on your phone first.”
Liu Siyu glanced at the search results, stuck out her tongue, and put away her phone.
On the way, Mr. Liu called to ask when they would be arriving.
“Dad,” Liu Siyu complained. “Brother won’t let me drive. He’s driving the whole way himself.”
Liu Siyan said, “I’ll take a break at the rest stop later. Don’t even think about driving today.”
“What happened?” Mr. Liu asked with concern. “Did you two quarrel again?”
Liu Siyu was so guilty that she did not dare to continue complaining. Liu Siyan did not even bother to complain.
Mr. Liu said, “Xiaoyu, you guys will be tired after driving for so many hours straight. You can stop at a rest stop for a while. Don’t worry. You must drive safely.”
“Okay,” Liu Siyu said. “See you tonight, Dad. My brother and I will be there soon.”
Mr. Liu hung up the phone.
Liu Siyu had also finished eating all her snacks.
They stopped at a rest stop and Liu Siyan went to buy some more snacks. His younger sister trailed after him. She talked a lot and because she kept talking, he was no longer sleepy.
Eventually, within the estimated time, they arrived at their destination, a small village near Shen City.
Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan had never lived here before. The two of them were born in Shen City. Later, because of their father’s job transfer, the whole family moved to Jing City. When they first arrived, the siblings were unfamiliar with their surroundings.
“Brother, why isn’t the map working anymore?”
In recent years, the town had undergone construction. Many old roads and some landmark buildings had become a thing of the past, replaced by new roads. The traffic was also re-planned. The roads in his hometown had changed. Some of the smaller roads in the town had been abandoned, and they had been built into brand new asphalt roads. In the past, the siblings could still remember the old route, but now, the two of them were lost.
Liu Siyan took the phone from his sister and looked at the map that had not been updated. “I’ll go down and ask. You stay in the car and don’t move.”
“Got it,” Liu Siyan said.
Liu Siyu watched her brother get out of the car.
After Liu Siyan got out of the car, he found a fruit stall by the road. As he picked some fruit, he asked the owner for directions.
In the end, he bought some fruits and got the answers.
Liu Siyu said, “Brother, why did you buy fruit again? I can’t eat anymore.”
“It’s for Grandpa and Grandma, not for you,” Liu Siyan said.
Liu Siyu looked at the sky and puzzled out her brother’s intentions with a smile. “You must’ve pitied the stall owner. It’s almost dark, and she’s so old, yet she still has to set up a stall on such a cold day. You must’ve felt bad, so you went to buy fruit, right?”
Liu Siyan’s lips curved into a smile. He closed the car door and glanced at the little girl beside him. “You’ve learned how to guess what I’m thinking.”
Liu Siyu raised her head proudly. There were a lot of tonics in the car for their grandparents, so he had not needed to buy fruits. Her brother was a police officer who served the people and could not bear to see the people suffer.
“Brother, you’re so great. As your sister, I’m ashamed.” Liu Siyu picked up an ugly orange, peeled it, and ate it.
