Chapter 157 This job is fantastic!
As for Cheng Wei, she remained standing there, dumbfounded, her eyes fixed on the monitor, but in reality, her brain was still somewhat dizzy from the shock of what she had just seen.
A moment later, she suddenly turned around and ran outside, but An Ling stopped her.
"Wait a moment!"
An Ling held Cheng Wei's hand tightly, stopping her from doing so.
"Where do you want to go now?"
Cheng Wei tried to break free from her grasp, "Sister Xiaoling, let go of me! I need to find my dad, I need to ask him what he's doing!"
"And then?" An Ling continued to ask.
"What then?" Cheng Wei stopped what she was doing, staring blankly at An Ling, not understanding what she wanted to ask.
"What are your plans after you find Cheng Zhuoxing?"
Cheng Wei still didn't understand what "how to do it" meant.
Of course, she would question her father about why he did this and when he started betraying her mother.
After Cheng Wei shared her thoughts, An Ling asked her another question.
"What if he doesn't admit it?"
"How could we deny it!" Cheng Wei exclaimed excitedly, "The surveillance cameras have captured it all!"
“He could argue that Cao Ling took the initiative, that he just wanted to talk to Cao Ling,” An Ling thought of what she had found out and guessed the excuse Cheng Zhuoxing might use. “He could even say that Cao Ling threatened him in some way and that he had no choice but to go see Cao Ling.”
"If your father says he has his reasons and begs you not to tell your mother, otherwise she will definitely feel very distressed, what would you do?"
"If your father said that tonight's engagement party is very important and nothing that might ruin the party can happen, and he promised you that he would tell your mother about it later, would you believe him?"
"I, I..." Cheng Wei realized that she had no idea what to do, but before she could answer, An Ling asked another question.
"If your father lied to you and then didn't confess to your mother, but instead tried to delete the surveillance footage and eliminate all the evidence, and then accused you of framing him, what would you do?"
"I don't know, I really don't know." Cheng Wei, who had been holding back her tears, finally let them fall.
This was the first time she had encountered something like this, and she was completely flustered. Her extreme anger made her immediately think of confronting Cheng Zhuoxing, leaving her with no energy to think about what to do next.
"Xiao Wei," An Ling said, softening her voice as Cheng Wei calmed down a bit, "who do you think is the biggest victim in this matter?"
"It's Mom..."
Thinking of her mother, Cheng Wei became even more unable to control her emotions. Her incomprehension of Cheng Zhuoxing gradually turned into hatred. He already had such a good wife as her mother, so why did he still get involved with Cao Ling!
"Then think about it carefully again. Cheng Zhuoxing and Cao Ling may have had this kind of improper relationship for a long time. Do you want your mother to continue to be kept in the dark?"
Under the barrage of questions, Cheng Wei gradually calmed down. She thought quietly for a while, then shook her head at An Ling and uttered three words: "I don't want to."
She then wiped away her tears, her eyes gradually hardening. "I'm going to tell my mom. I can't let her keep being fooled."
Cheng Wei ran out again, but this time An Ling didn't stop her. She and Yan Yu stayed in the monitoring room and waited quietly.
Of course, the staff member who was checking the surveillance footage was also involved.
He's still experiencing a bittersweet feeling, his butt glued to the chair, one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, maintaining this position without moving an inch. But the fire won't reach him anyway. As long as he gets through this period of being a surveillance camera operator, this opportunity to watch the drama unfold will be his reward for his hard work!
About five minutes later, Yin Siyi's hurried footsteps approached. She suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, not forgetting to nod to An Ling and Yan Yu to greet them.
The staff showed her the surveillance footage again. As Yin Siyi watched the appalling scene, her clenched fists tightened, and her whole body trembled.
When Cheng Wei first told her what had happened, Yin Siyi still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking there might be some misunderstanding.
One was her husband, and the other was her husband's sister-in-law. This was no ordinary affair; how could she possibly believe something so unethical?
But now that he has seen the evidence with his own eyes, even that last bit of hope has vanished.
It was both laughable and absurd, both infuriating and painful.
The monitor, which was still playing surveillance video, seemed to transform into a giant net at that moment, wrapping up countless complex and indescribable emotions that crashed down on Yin Siyi, burying her face and giving her no chance to breathe.
Yin Siyi felt like she was suffocating until she heard her daughter call her "Mom" several times in a worried voice, which made her suddenly wake up.
It turned out that from the moment she saw Cao Ling open the door, she had already forgotten to breathe.
Now that she realized what was happening, Yin Siyi found that her vision was going black. Her breathing became heavy, and she swayed a few times, which scared Cheng Wei so much that she almost cried again.
"Mom? Mom, are you alright? Come on, sit down for a while."
"It's nothing." Yin Siyi waved her hand, closed her eyes for a moment, and then stood up again.
She turned and stood in front of An Ling and Yan Yu, trying her best to appear calm, but her bloodless face betrayed her.
“Miss Anling, Xiaowei has already told me what happened. Thank you for letting Xiaowei tell me first. Has your necklace been found? If not…”
"Found it, found it!" An Ling replied quickly.
"Don't worry about this, right, Yan Yu?" An Ling gave Yan Yu a wink, hoping he would understand her meaning.
"Mm." Yan Yu nodded.
"That's good," Yin Siyi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I have another favor to ask. Things happened so suddenly that I haven't really figured out how to handle it yet, especially since today's occasion is so special. I just want to discuss it with my family first before making a decision. Until then, could you two please keep this a secret for me?"
An Ling had no problem with it, but she knew Yan Yu probably wouldn't agree.
Sure enough, Yan Yu's voice turned colder, "You can keep quiet about other people, but what about my cousin? Is Aunt Yin planning to tell her or keep it a secret?"
“Of course I won’t hide it from Shu Ting. This is a scandal in our Cheng family. Let me tell Shu Ting myself,” Yin Siyi assured Yan Yu, fearing he wouldn’t believe her. “Can you give me half an hour? If I don’t tell Shu Ting within half an hour, Mr. Yan can tell her then.”
Yan Yu looked at Yin Siyi, who was teetering on the edge of her seat, and finally agreed.
"Thank you both."
After that, Yin Siyi left with Cheng Wei.
To cover up her lie, Anling apologized to the staff who reviewed the surveillance footage, saying that she suddenly remembered that she had taken off her necklace when she changed clothes earlier, but had just forgotten about it.
"I'm really sorry to have troubled you. It's all my fault for having a bad memory lately, which made you go through all this trouble for nothing."
"No trouble at all," the staff member said sincerely.
Who said he worked for nothing? This job is great!
