Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Lin Yueqin, You Are Under Arrest!
Chapter 18 -18 Lin Yueqin, You Are Under Arrest!
Lin Yueqin nearly screamed, “What ghost am I playing? You made Madam take medicine for no reason; do you want to kill her? Madam has been so kind to you, yet you repay kindness with hatred!”
“Why are you getting so agitated? I was just reminding Madam to get a check-up at the hospital since she had surgery before. Doesn’t she go for a check-up every year? As for you, not allowing Madam to get checked or take her medicine, what are your intentions?”
Lin Yueqin’s heart skipped a beat. She instinctively glanced at Lady Wen, and seeing that she seemed to be pondering with a frown, Lin Yueqin immediately started shouting as she pushed Lin Chuyi out, “Madam is very healthy; stop cursing her!”
“I am really going to be driven mad by you! How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful child? Can’t you wish Madam any good? Get out, and don’t you dare come back! You bring bad luck! If anything happens to Madam, see if I don’t beat you to death!”
Before Lin Chuyi was pushed out of the door, she still reminded Lady Wen one more time, “Madam, remember to go to the hospital for a follow-up check. I’m not cursing you; it’s just that getting checked will give you peace of mind.”
Many cancer patients have a high recurrence rate. Just because the tumor was removed does not mean all is well. Regular check-ups are mandatory.
After Lin Yueqin pushed Lin Chuyi out, her wailing stopped instantly. She glared at Lin Chuyi with a dark expression as if she wanted to flay her alive.
Lin Chuyi was not unfamiliar with that kind of look. Growing up, Lin Yueqin had looked at her like that too many times.
When she was younger, she would wake up from sleep and open her eyes to Lin Yueqin’s grim and fierce glare that chilled her to the bone.
But the shadow of her childhood disappeared as she grew stronger. She was no longer fearful of that kind of gaze.
“Lin Yueqin, you don’t want Madam to go for a check-up at the hospital, are you hoping she dies sooner, so you can take her daughter for yourself?”
“You little wretch, what nonsense are you spouting!”
Lin Yueqin, stung by her jab, became furiously embarrassed and raised her hand to slap her.
But Lin Chuyi quickly restrained her wrist, “Thinking of hitting me again? Do you think I am still the powerless little girl you can beat and scold at will?”
“I’m your mother! I gave birth to you; if I want to hit you, I’ll hit you! You need a beating!”
“I don’t think you’re like my mom; you’re more like Wen Nianyou’s mom.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueqin felt a chill down her spine and her scalp tingling. She quickly scolded Lin Chuyi, “Nonsense, Youyou is Madam’s child, not mine! Don’t say things like that. Madam will be unhappy if she hears you; her health is not good, don’t upset her!”
“Oh? Now you’re saying her health isn’t good? Didn’t you just say that she was very healthy and didn’t need to go to the hospital for a check-up?”
“I said that to comfort Madam. The sicker a person is, the more they dread others saying they’re unwell and telling them to see doctors and take medicine. You’re supposed to say she’s healthy so that she subconsciously feels strong, which is beneficial to her recovery!”
“Deception won’t make a patient recover. Visiting a doctor is the fundamental solution to the problem.”
“Enough, I’ve cared for Madam for so many years; don’t I understand better than you? Stop pointing fingers and just go!”
As soon as Lin Chuyi was about to leave, Lin Yueqin pulled her back. She sounded annoyed, “What do you want, didn’t you tell me to leave?”
“What’s the deal with your fiancé?”
“How do you know I have a fiancé?”
“I called the police, and they told me.”
Lin Chuyi looked at her coldly, “So it was you who reported me. Lin Yueqin, it seems you dread the thought of me having a single good day. I just came out of the police station, and you can’t wait to send me back in.”

Lin Yueqin sneered, “Where did your so-called fiancé come from? You must have hired someone to fool the police, didn’t you?”
“No comment.”
Lin Chuyi shook off her hand, “Lin Yueqin, if you really care about Wen Nianyou, you should persuade her to turn herself in.”
Lin Yueqin watched her leaving with a cold laugh. Of course, she wouldn’t let Wen Nianyou turn herself in. The blame for the car accident was destined to fall on Lin Chuyi!
After all, she had already deleted the hospital surveillance footage, and as Wen Nianyou suggested, she had even planted some of Lin Chuyi’s fingerprints on the keyboard. With her accusation as a mother to back it all up, Lin Chuyi wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River!
As long as Lin Chuyi went to jail, her Youyou could always live as the Wen Family’s precious daughter, safe and sound.
Unfortunately, two days later, disaster struck.
A police car arrived at the Wen Family villa, “Lin Yueqin, Lin Chuyi has submitted her alibi.”
Lin Yueqin felt as if she had been struck by lightning, “Impossible! She couldn’t have found her alibi! The proof must be fake, it has to be fake!”
The police handcuffed her without pity, “Lin Chuyi’s alibi is real, and you are suspected of giving false testimony and obstructing the police investigation in the car accident case. You are under arrest!”
