Meng Jingfen had never been kindhearted, and seeing her own conviction as a done deal, she decided not to let others off the hook either.
She accused everyone she could, reporting all the people she was able to.
Of course, she did not report Zhao Sulan.
Because, in the end, Zhao Sulan had spared her and she had no evidence against her.
Of course, the only people she could accuse were Meng Qinghua’s family.
Originally, to prevent Meng Qinghua from denying owing twelve thousand yuan, she had secretly recorded Meng Qinghua’s words that day using Meng Yajun’s small recorder, only for it to end up as evidence for the report.
Upon hearing the truth, Meng Qinghua’s family was nearly driven mad.
They continuously cursed Meng Jingfen, calling her an utterly heartless demon.
Everything started with her scheming for Meng Lingmei’s kidney, she was the first to commit the evil, and now, as she was facing the law herself, she was trying to drag their whole family into it.
This was utterly inhumane.
No matter how much they cursed, it was of no use, and eventually, Meng Yinhua came up with an idea, suggesting that Meng Qinghua, who took the money and couldn’t eschew guilt, should confess alone to initially shield the others.
Meng Qinghua naturally did not want to confess.
She wanted Meng Lingmei to confess.
However, in the recording, only she was heard verbally agreeing to take the money.
Meng Lingmei could not replace her even if she wanted to.
Besides, why would Meng Lingmei be willing to do so?
That day, as they left Meng Jinhua’s home, she had asked Meng Qinghua to divide four thousand yuan, which was a quarter of twelve thousand, with her, but was scolded furiously by Meng Qinghua, blaming her for being too hasty and suggesting they should wait until they had the house or all the money before splitting it.
How could her family possibly foolishly sacrifice her?
Meng Chuyue and others returned to the Imperial on July 10th with Song Yan, Xu Zhan, Tong Wen, and Xia Ping, who wanted to see the Imperial.
Zhao Sulan did not return with them; she stayed in Hai City for a few more days until the news of Meng Jingfen’s case broke, then joyously hurried back to the Imperial.
She wanted to first inform Meng Chuyue to claim credit, fearing that she would refuse to see her. Finally, she wrote Meng Chuyue a letter, telling her of her role in exposing Meng Jingfen.
Of course, she did not mention her intimidation of Meng Jingfen but stated she wrote an anonymous letter to all the victims, mainly to Meng Lingmei’s family.
After reading the letter, Meng Chuyue scoffed and called Zou Xiaojun and a waiter, asking them to deliver twenty thousand yuan and a message to Zhao Sulan, "A bonus."
Calculating meticulously for a while yet only receiving twenty thousand yuan and two words, Zhao Sulan was almost in tears.
Lin Fangwei, who had been keeping an eye on Zhao Sulan’s movements, came to see her as soon as she returned.
She had already begun "developing" the second type of beauty formula a few days earlier.
The Li Family, despite the restructuring, still could not reassure her and Li Feng, so they decided to personally handle things to prevent any leaks.
Therefore, she had more freedom and could go out casually.
Of course, being dedicated to "developing new drugs," she seldom went out, and the people of the Li Family now trusted her completely.
Seeing Lin Fangwei was like seeing a lifeline for the heartbroken Zhao Sulan, who immediately complained about her grievances, "Fangwei, Chuyue’s heart is as hard as iron. I successfully helped her take revenge on the Meng Family, but she only sent someone with twenty thousand yuan and a two-word message saying it was a bonus. How can she treat me this way? Oh, I’m so heartbroken."
Lin Fangwei scoffed and said, "How can a grudge be resolved so easily? You have to take it slowly. Think about it, she at least showed some gratitude, which is better than doing nothing, right? You really thought wrong."
Zhao Sulan suddenly stopped crying, "Really? Should I really think that way?"
Lin Fangwei nodded seriously, "Yes, that’s right, or why don’t you think it over again and see if that makes sense?"
