Chapter 378: Obtaining Evidence

Bai Zhi didn't even need to speak; the incredibly clever Xie Zheng understood her meaning and relayed it to Wang Shufen.

Bai Zhi gave Xie Zheng an approving look and then said, "Second Aunt, I agree with Xie Zheng."

“We understand how you feel. As parents, it's natural to be angry to hear such news. However, anger won't solve anything. Right now, the most important thing isn't for you to vent your emotions, but to rescue Lu Ya and help her come to her senses.”

Xie Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you are her mother, you have to save your daughter, you can't let her be harmed by thugs."

Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, Wang Shufen's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Ya, that brat, and that scoundrel probably started dating secretly before they even graduated.

So, in such a long period of time, could something that shouldn't have happened have already happened between them?

If that brat gets harmed, then it's all over.

Wang Shufen's heart sank to the bottom.

I was anxious and angry.

She had an urge to find that thug immediately and break his legs.

"Xiao Zhi, I'll listen to you."

Wang Shufen took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She's a mother, and she can't afford to lose her composure at this time.

She has to solve the problem.

"Xiao Zhi, do you know where Li Wei's first love, his white moonlight, is?"

She first found the woman's address, then staked out the place to gather evidence. As long as she saw Li Wei with that daughter, Lu Ya would finally give up.

If no evidence is found, it's impossible to break up with Lu Ya just by verbally admonishing her.

"Second Aunt, I heard that the woman is at Nancheng Teachers College and is about to graduate."

"What's your name?" Wang Shufen pressed.

Bai Zhi tilted her head and recalled for a moment, then remembered, "I think her name is Zhang Qiuhua."

She remembered that in her previous life, when she went to the detention center to bail Lu Ya out, she signed a document that had Li Wei's and that woman's names on it.

In addition, Lu Ya was emotionally agitated at the time, hating the two adulterers to the core, and kept hysterically shouting their names, threatening to kill them.

Therefore, she remembered that woman's name.

However, when she suddenly faced Lu Ya that day, her mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't recall the woman's name or the school she attended.

Looking back now, even if she laid everything out in front of Lu Ya, given her current love-struck state, she wouldn't listen at all.

Moreover, Lu Yashi is an extremely naive girl. If she were to directly confront Li Wei, it would alert him and make him wary.

The best solution is for her to first tell Wang Shufen the details, let her investigate the situation secretly, and then present the evidence to Li Wei.

Xie Zheng's lips twitched slightly when he heard this name, which had a strong rural flavor.

That name does match the thug's personality.

Wang Shufen quickly got up and went inside, saying she was going to get paper and pen so she could write things down in detail.

After Wang Shufen left, Xie Zheng leaned closer to Bai Zhi and asked with a curious look, "You didn't lie to Aunt Wang, did you?"

Bai Zhi shrugged. "No."

"How do you know so much detail?" Xie Zheng asked curiously.

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she casually brushed it off, "After I met Li Wei that day, I asked my cousin to investigate him privately, and he found out right away."

Since Ye Qingbai has already returned to the army, she will attribute all the credit for this matter to Ye Qingbai, and no one will doubt anything.

"I'm dying of laughter. Aunt Wang actually thought Ye Qingbai liked Lu Ya and even thought I was here to arrange a marriage."

Xie Zheng slapped his thigh with joy when he thought of Wang Shufen's expectant little eyes.

Who gave her the confidence to think that Ye Qingbai would be interested in her brainless and blind delinquent?

Look at her dry, frizzy hair and exaggerated makeup. What normal guy would have such a heavy taste?

Even that suburban thug named Li Wei only stayed with her to swindle her money.

Xie Zheng was just laughing when he saw Wang Shufen come out with a small notebook and a pen. He immediately controlled his expression and sat up straight.

Wang Shufen made Bai Zhi repeat the information, address, and names of that adulterous couple, and she wrote it all down.

"Second Aunt, we've already told you about this. You can decide how to handle it yourself. In short, I'll just remind you one thing: stay calm and focus on solving the problem."

If this old lady gets angry, she might give Lu Ya a good beating when she comes back today, and that stupid girl could break up with her and run away from home tomorrow.

"Xiao Zhi, I'll remember this." Wang Shufen looked at her gratefully and said, "Xiao Zhi, thank you so much. If you hadn't kindly told me about this, we wouldn't have even found out that that brat had run off with someone."

Bai Zhi said very seriously, "Don't be polite. Lu Ya is not a bad person. She is just simple-minded and lacks social experience, which makes her easy to be deceived. At this time, the help and guidance of parents are very important. Don't lose your composure so that you can solve the problem better."

Bai Zhi genuinely had little faith in Wang Shufen.

This woman is loud and sarcastic, and has no composure whatsoever.

Of course, no one would remain calm if their daughter were in such a situation.

At this point, she had no choice but to tell Wang Shufen the truth and let her solve the problem herself.

She can't just quit her job and go out to collect evidence of Li Wei's affair with Zhang Qiuhua, can she?

She doesn't have the time or the obligation.

More importantly, this is a messy situation, and she doesn't want to get too involved.

Having finished speaking, Bai Zhi planned to go back to their bridal chamber to clean up.

She got up, and Xie Zheng also planned to leave.

Bai Zhi wanted to greet the old man, but found his bedroom door closed, so he was probably still sleeping.

She said to Wang Shufen, "Second Aunt, I'm leaving now. Please tell my grandfather when he wakes up."

"Xiao Zhi, why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"

Bai Zhi replied, "I won't be coming. I have to do laundry and clean this afternoon, and it'll be late by the time I'm done."

"Alright then." Wang Shufen was quite polite today and got up to see them off.

Bai Zhi was about to leave, and Xie Zheng followed her.

After leaving the Lu family residence, Bai Zhi hailed a taxi, but Xie Zheng insisted on sharing the ride since it was on the same route.

Bai Zhi quickly got into the car and closed the door, not giving Xie Zheng a chance to get in at all.

She said unhappily, "Where are we going in the same direction? Lu Ye isn't here, you'd better avoid him, or I'll call and complain."

Xie Zheng stood outside the car, rolling his eyes speechlessly. "Look how scared you are. Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

If he had wanted to get in the car just now, would she have been able to stop him?

Bai Zhi returned to the empty courtyard and looked at the yellowing fallen leaves. Suddenly, she felt an unprecedented emptiness and loss in her heart.

Winter days are already short and dark, and today's gloomy weather made it feel even more oppressive.

She went into the living room, turned on the color television, and turned the volume up to the maximum to break the silence.

But to be honest, no matter how loud the TV is, it doesn't seem to make much difference.

She should still feel disappointed.

Having lived two lives, she thought she had long since adapted to loneliness.

But she found that this was not the case.

This is what they mean by "it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
