Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 125 - What Does It Have To Do With Me? (1)

The police officers were clearly surprised by what she said.

"Miss Chen has stolen from you? Miss Chen claimed that she still lives with you, to this day." One of them asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, she has. You see, when Chen Li's father died, my family decided to take them in and allow them to live with us. In return, Housekeeper Chen was to help my mother manage our household. It's just that my Mama and I weren't aware that Chen Li was stealing my things from my private wardrobe. Mama and I decided not to sue Chen Li because she's still too young, but we couldn't allow her family to stay with us any longer." Su Xiaofei explained, before pausing for a moment, observing their reactions.

"Why, officer? What did Chen Li do this time? and how does it involve me?" She cocked her head, cupping her chin with one hand. "I haven't seen nor talked to Chen Li ever since her family left our house, but I do know where they are living right now."

That immediately caught the officers' attention. Chen Li had been detained in their station since last night, but she was claiming that she's still living with the Sus.

"You know where her mother is? Miss Chen was caught last night and is facing several charges. The reason we came here to see you is because Miss Chen claimed that the counterfeit Butterfly Chrysalis dress she was wearing came from you."

Chen Li was technically a minor, but her offenses were so great that the law wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye to it. She might be able to get away with partying, pretending to be of legal age, but she couldn't easily avoid being charged for possessing a counterfeit item.

In this country, the Intellectual Property Bureau was working hard to crack down the counterfeit market for luxury items. Selling, as well as possessing such counterfeit goods, was punishable by law.

Brand owners also appear to be playing an active role as they regularly make site inspections or send a representative to help the authorities confirm if the goods were authentic or not. With recent amendments to the law, buyers would also be punished in an attempt to suppress the spread of counterfeit goods in the market.

This meant that at most, Chen Li would be looking forward to spending five years in prison, if she's unable to contest or prove that she wasn't the one who bought the counterfeit goods.

"Yes. She's currently living with my half sister Ye Mingyu, who also attends this academy. You can ask her for further details."

How can Su Xiaofei let this chance to drag Ye Mingyu through the mud slip from her hands? Since Ye Mingyu and Chen Li had teamed up to ruin her reputation and her name in public in her previous life, there was no way in hell that she would let Ye Mingyu off the hook.

Su Xiaofei hadn't expected that Chen Li would be caught this soon. Was Chen Li always sneaking out and partying outside late at night without her mother knowing? Alas, since these police officers had come here to question her, it only proved that Chen Li had done a good job in destroying herself.

"Officer, if it's alright, I would rather give my statement at the station with my lawyer. I would also like to call my mother to inform her of what's happening. I wish to clear my name. Plus, I'm confident that I have nothing to do with Chen Li's offense. In fact, I think my Mama and I were too kind to let her off by not suing her for stealing. This might be her way of trying to get even with me, as I was the one who suggested asking her family to leave our house."

The two police officers looked at each other and nodded in understanding. What the young woman told them made sense, but they couldn't be partial to her.

"Of course, Miss Su, you can do that. Thank you for cooperating with us. The brand owner of Butterfly Chrysalis has also decided to sue Miss Chen and isn't willing to let her off the hook. I recommend you to ask for your elder's help and advice this time."

Su Xiaofei only smiled calmly, which made the headmistress wonder if this Su Xiaofei was still the same problematic student she knew. The old woman had never seen her act as calmly and as logical as this, as Su Xiaofei was always the one who would cause trouble for others and not the other way around.

To think that there would be a day that the head mistress would see Su Xiaofei finally acting like a proper student, the old woman was obviously pleased. Whatever made Su Xiaofei change must have taught her not to act based on her impulse and anger alone.

"Excuse me for a moment, then." Su Xiaofei said before stepping out of the headmistress's office, finding Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng outside waiting for her.

"What is it, Feifei? Did someone report you to the headmistress again?" Xi Qian asked, worried written all over her face. These past few days were peaceful for Su Xiaofei, so what could have happened?

Su Xiaofei shook her head and pulled out her phone, intending to give her mother a call.

"Chen Li just got caught by the police last night. I'm not sure what other offense she is facing, but she's claiming that I was the one who gave her the counterfeit dress she was wearing last night."

"What nonsense is Chen Li talking about?! She better not show herself in front of me, or I will rip off that nasty mouth of hers!" Xi Qian exploded in rage upon hearing what her best friend just said.

Chen Li and her family had already left Su Xiaofei's home, but why were they eager to give her such troubles when Feifei didn't have anything to do with them anymore?
