Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 666: The Two Grandfathers Are Meeting

News of what happened to Li Xueqing had started spreading like wildfire on the internet.

Li Haoran wanted to suppress it, but it was impossible.

Li Beinian knew that Mu Xichen must have done something. Otherwise, given Dawn Entertainment’s reputation, it wouldn’t have escalated this way.

The human traffickers had also been interrogated. From their phone records, they found the person who dug the pit. Through this person, they uncovered the mastermind.

Miraculously, whenever the police were about to take the next step, a hacker would intervene and inform the police of the correct clues.

When Li Beinian heard this, she immediately thought of 7740’s T Jing.

These elusive hackers left everyone feeling rather helpless; at the same time, they were highly respected experts.

By the third day following Li Xueqing’s incident, most of the clues had been collected. Li Xueqing went from being a victim to a suspect and was then summoned to the police station.

She insisted that she had been wronged and made an assertive statement. However, there was irrefutable evidence.

On the other hand, the police knew very well that Li Xueqing would never be able to do such a thing herself. Hence at the same time, they forced another person to confess—Lin Kerou.

During the interrogation, Li Xueqing broke down and kept shrieking. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! It was Lin Kerou. It was all Lin Kerou’s idea. I was just an accomplice. Lin Kerou was the mastermind!”

Hence, Lin Kerou was also summoned.

Having being summoned to court, Lin Kerou remained calm throughout. At the same time, she looked so pitiful and almost fainted when she was asked a critical question.

After being sent to the hospital, they realized that she was more than a month pregnant.

Given such an unexpected situation, they had to stop the interrogation.

The inspection team could only work with circumstantial evidence.

The difficulty was that there was no evidence pointing to Lin Kerou.

Apart from Li Xueqing’s accusation, there was nothing else.

As a result, Lin Kerou was released on account of her pregnancy as well as because of her relationships to Lin Ya and Mu Donglin.

During the final trial, the comrades who had participated in the training with Li Beinian all turned up.

Li Xueqing’s face was pale as she sat on the defendant’s seat and cried.

The lawyer seemed to have exhausted all his arguments. Li Xueqing pleaded guilty of her crime.

Noting her good attitude in admitting her error and seeing that she had cooperated with the investigation, the judge sentenced her to ten months in jail and a year on probation.

However, when the verdict was announced, Li Beinian suddenly stood up. “I have new evidence.”

No one had expected this.

As everyone looked on, stunned, Li Beinian drew out a recording pen. “This is a recording of Li Xueqing and Lin Kerou plotting to frame me at my engagement ceremony with Mr. Mu Donglin about three months ago.”

Li Xueqing was stunned and immediately screamed, “Bullsh*t, when did I plot to frame you! If you have this evidence, why didn’t you show it earlier, you...”

“Silence!” The judge raised his voice slightly, and looked at Li Beinian. “Why didn’t you produce it previously?”

“I didn’t know she’d get away with such a light sentence,” Li Beinian said bluntly. “Ten months and a year of probation. What’s the difference between that and having no sentence.”

“Yeah, what’s the difference between that and not being sentenced?”

“If it had been Beinian who went down, she wouldn’t have been able to return.”

“She might have been killed even...”

The evidence was presented and the case was temporarily dismissed.

The moment Li Beinian walked out of the court, she was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters.

She put on her sunglasses and mask as Bai Yuan and Cheng Su quickly shielded her.

The reporters were pushing forward in a frenzy. They asked, “Miss Li Beinian, I heard that you weren’t satisfied with the verdict and handed over new evidence, is that right?”

“Miss Li, I heard that you and Miss Li Xueqing are sisters. How do you feel about suing your sister?”

“As the beloved daughter of the boss of Dawn Entertainment, why had you always kept such a low profile?”

“Miss Li Beinian...”

No matter what the reporters asked, Li Beinian remained silent.

Bai Yuan and Cheng Su shielded her from the reporters and shouted, “Please be mindful, keep a distance!”

Li Beinian had driven her own car today, since she wished to keep a low profile, and given that this was not something she wanted to announce.

Just as she was heading towards her car surrounded by a group of reporters, she suddenly noticed that her Range Rover had been splashed with paint.

The reporters immediately swarmed around and frantically took photographs. They immediately uploaded the first-hand news.

Li Beinian was silent for a moment before calling the police.

When they saw this, the reporters went into a frenzy again, madly taking more photographs to file their reports.

“Miss Li Beinian, have you any idea who did this vindictive act?”

Thinking that Li Beinian was going to remain silent, just as another reporter was going to try his luck and ask more questions, Li Beinian suddenly looked at the camera and spoke very clearly into it, “We’re born to be human, please be kind.”

She said those words meaningfully, in a deep voice.

Having succeeded in getting a reaction, the reporters were excited and wanted more. However, Li Beinian walked away.

Bai Yuan and Cheng Su were left behind to manage the crowd while she hid in the pavilion and waited for the situation to calm down.

Soon, the police arrived. The surveillance cameras merely caught a few hooligans in the act. These people were also paid for carrying out the deed and none of them was willing to spill the beans. Eventually, the matter was settled after they paid a compensation.

When Mu Xichen came to picked her up, Li Beinian was standing around and chatting with Guan Yueyun.

Guan Yueyun noticed Mu Xichen’s car approaching and said, “Your husband is here.”

Li Beinian turned around and smiled at Guan Yueyun as she bade goodbye.

After getting into the car, Li Beinian realized just how exhausted she was, and sighed. “How tiring!”

Mu Xichen glanced at her and smiled.

Noticing this small detail, she asked, “You appear to be in a good mood?”

“Uh huh.” Mu Xichen continued driving for a while when he suddenly asked, “What time is it?”

“3 pm.”

“When’s the next court session?”

“How did you know it’s not over?”

“Just guessing.”

Li Beinian snorted and said, “They haven’t informed us, but this time round, I might be able to prove Lin Kerou’s involvement.”

As she spoke, she reached for the drinking glass and bottle in Mu Xichen’s car, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a sip. “Why is it red date tea again?”

“It’s good for a woman’s health.”

“...”

“Grandpa asked about you today. Let’s make a trip to visit him after we’ve settled this matter.”

Li Beinian was stunned and asked, “Does Grandpa know something?”

Li Beinian and Mu Xichen’s relationship had also been exposed on the internet, however it had been deliberately suppressed.

Furthermore, not many people on the internet knew who Mu Xichen was, so as other news got uploaded, this was mostly buried beneath.

Li Beinian had been very much in the limelight these days. Because of her special relationship with Li Xueqing, they had become the topic of discussion in the media.

# Sisters killing each other #

# Real-life battle of the heiresses#

# Li Beinian sues Li Xueqing, multiple framing attempts!# #

# Stinging Vine supporting actress exposed – illegitimate daughter of Dawn Entertainment boss#

There were many topics, and each one was enough to attract a lot of attention.

However, Bo Chengcheng’s public relations skills were very strong. After clearing the internet, only positive news of Li Beinian remained.

As for Li Xueqing, it all went without saying.

People even managed to uncover the fact that her original surname was Duan. It wouldn’t have been beyond them to turn her ancestral graves inside out.

Even Fang Zhili and Li Haoran had to avoid the limelight whenever they stepped out; it was extremely embarrassing.

But why was Grandpa asking after her at a critical time such as this?

Did he get wind of something?

Noticing Li Beinian’s nervousness, Mu Xichen felt even better. He said, “My Grandpa has asked us to invite your Grandpa for a meal together. Grandpa might be coming over in a few days, along with my uncle and cousin.”

“What?” Li Beinian became even more nervous. “Are you serious? When?”

“In three days’ time.”

“So soon!” Li Beinian straightened up. “Have you told Grandpa?”

“We’re going now to do that,” Mu Xichen said as he turned the car around.

This was... the direction to Qian Zhou!

Li Beinian was a little nervous. After what had happened, she was feeling a little embarrassed to see Grandpa.

But at the same time, she knew this was inevitable.

Hence she composed herself. When they arrived at Qian Zhou, Grandpa was drinking tea.

Only, she did not expect to see Li Meng and Li Kun there too.

The two were biological sisters who resembled each other. They were sitting on the sofa and chatting with Grandpa.

They had said something that obviously made Grandpa very jolly.

When the old man saw Li Beinian and Mu Xichen walking in, his expression immediately stiffened and he snorted.

Mu Xichen was already used to this. He walked in with the gift and handed it to Aunt Jiang, and greeted the old man respectfully, “Grandpa.”

Li Beinian greeted him as well. “Grandpa.”

Li Kun felt a complexity of emotions when she saw Li Beinian.

She was on rather good terms with Li Xueqing. Now that Li Beinian was taking Li Xueqing to court, Li Kun felt somewhat horrified by it.

She greeted them stiffly, “Hello, Sister Beinian and Brother-in-law.”

Li Beinian pursed her lips in response.

In the past when Li Beinian was just plain old Li Beinian, Li Kun would call her a b*tch.

Now that Li Beinian had a status, she has adopted the formality of addressing them as sister and brother-in-law.

Li Beinian sighed in silence, as her gaze wandered onto Li Meng.

She had not seen Li Meng for a long time, and noticed that she had lost a significant amount of weight.

Her temperament seemed steadier than before. She now kept her hair short and looked simple but smart.

Today, she wore a black coat and a white turtleneck sweater. She smiled when she saw Li Beinian and Mu Xichen.

She had not expected that Li Beinian would actually fall in love with Mu Xichen so soon after she had fallen out with Mu Donglin, .

Mu Donglin had always deemed Mu Xichen a thorn in his side. It would have been interesting to watch his reaction when he found out about this.

Unfortunately, she did not get a chance.

Grandpa set his teacup down and snorted. “What are you doing here?”

“Grandpa ~” Li Beinian leaned over and said in a softened tone. “Are you angry with me? I’m only taking Li Xueqing to court because she went too far.”

Old Master Li glanced at her. “She has the surname Duan anyway and doesn’t know how to behave. What’s there to be angry about?” Then, he looked at Mu Xichen in disdain. “Didn’t I tell you not to get too entwined with my granddaughter before the marriage formalities have been performed!”
