She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 181 I Really Didn't Lie

Lin Qingran had doubts and was unwilling to believe that Fu Xingze was only after this. She forcefully shook off Fu Xingze's hand and said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to hear it, get out!"

Fu Xingze quickly said, "Mom, I really didn't lie to you. Besides, I saw who put snacks in Lingdang's bag!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran paused, turned to look at him, her eyes filled with suspicion and urgency.

"Who? Speak up!"

Fu Xingze took a deep breath, his voice still trembling slightly.

"It's that school bus driver!"

Lin Qingran's eyes widened; it was indeed true.

However, Fu Xingze's words should not be easily believed.

Lin Qingran frowned and questioned.

Are you lying?

Fu Xingze anxiously raised his right hand and swore to the heavens, "Mom, I really didn't do it. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"

Lin Qingran finally believed it, and her hand trembled as she reached for her phone, ready to call the police.

Bo Ye quickly stopped Lin Qingran, "Jiuge, don't be impulsive. In this situation, even if we call the police, it will be difficult for them to determine that the snacks he gave her were the problem. Besides, he can easily say that he only gave them to her because the bell was cute and that he had no malicious intent. Moreover, so much time has passed, and evidence such as surveillance videos may have been destroyed. We should check if the evidence is still there first, and then investigate the driver's background."

Lin Qingran's hand holding the phone froze in mid-air, her face filled with conflict and anger.

"Are we just going to let him go like this? Lingdang is still lying in the hospital bed!"

Bo Ye gently held Lin Qingran's hand and comforted her.

"We won't let him go, but we need to plan carefully and not alert him."

Lin Qingran bit her lip and finally put down her phone.

"Okay, then let's do it your way."

Fu Xingze looked at Lin Qingran and saw that she had finally believed him this time. Her eyes were full of expectation as she cautiously asked.

"Mom, can I stay and keep my sister company?"

Lin Qingran was still shaken by the memory of Fu Xingze's attempt to harm Lingdang last time, and resolutely refused.

"No, you can't go near the bell. Now that you've said everything you needed to say, you should leave now."

Fu Xingze's eyes dimmed instantly, but Lin Qingran clearly didn't want him to get close to the bell, and she was very nervous even with the smallest movement.

Reluctantly, they left, turning back every few steps.

His back looked lonely and lost. Lin Qingran watched Fu Xingze leave in dejection, and finally felt a little sorry for him.

Thinking that he had come specifically to deliver a message, he turned to Susukino and said.

"Go and see him off."

Bo Ye nodded and quickly followed Fu Xingze. Only Lin Qingran remained in the room, gazing out the window with a heavy heart.

Bo Ye was unwilling to share a room with Fu Xingze, and Fu Xingze didn't want to stay with Bo Ye either, but in order to make a good impression on his mother, he had no choice but to silently follow Bo Ye.

The two got into the car, and neither of them spoke; the atmosphere inside was heavy and oppressive.

Suddenly, Susukino asked coldly.

"Fu Xingze, did you lie about what happened today?"

Fu Xingze's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said.

"I didn't, everything I said is true!"

Bo Ye snorted coldly, "It had to be that way. If I find out you're lying to us, you'll be sorry!"

Fu Xingze lowered his head and muttered softly.

"I really didn't lie."

The car sped along the highway, the scenery outside the window receding into the distance, but the atmosphere between the two people inside remained icy.

After a long time, the only sounds inside the car were the roar of the engine and the occasional sound of the car horn.

Fu Xingze seemed to have mustered up his courage and said in a low voice.

"Why don't you believe me when I tell the truth?"

His voice sounded particularly faint in the small space, but Sukino still heard it clearly.

Susukino was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"I believe you."

Fu Xingze was stunned, his face full of disbelief, and he subconsciously asked.

"why?"

Doesn't Susukino hate himself?

Bo Ye sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"You little brat, you can't do anything without an adult's help. With your abilities, you can't even tell such a big lie."

Fu Xingze's face instantly turned red, and anger burned in his eyes.

"How could you say that! I've never been loved by my parents, you're deliberately stabbing me in the heart!"

His voice became shrill with excitement, and his small fists were clenched tightly.

Bo Ye ignored his anger and continued driving with a straight face, his expression unchanged.

Fu Xingze bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes, his heart filled with grievance and resentment.

For a long time, a suffocating silence filled the car.

Just as Fu Xingze was so frustrated that he wanted to jump out of the car, Bo Ye finally spoke up again.

“I’m just stating the facts, Fu Xingze. You can only blame yourself for not having a responsible father, and for being spoiled by him, which is why you are unloved by your parents and ended up like this.”

Fu Xingze opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

His eyes became vacant, and his tightly clenched fists slowly loosened, as if all his strength had been drained away.

All the words of rebuttal they wanted to utter were stuck in their throats, unable to be uttered.

The sunlight outside the car window shone on his face, but it didn't bring any warmth.

He stared blankly ahead, tears welling up in his eyes, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

He knew that although Bo Ye's words were harsh, they were undeniable facts, which made him feel even more helpless and desperate.

Bo Ye finally parked the car downstairs at Fu Xingze's residence.

Fu Xingze couldn't wait to reach for the car door, wanting to get out and escape this oppressive space.

But just as he was about to step out of the car, Bo Ye stopped him.

Fu Xingze frowned, looking at Bo Ye with a puzzled yet wary expression.

"What?"

Bo Ye said slowly, "I already persuaded your mother to visit you occasionally, and she agreed."

A look of surprise flashed across Fu Xingze's face, but it was quickly replaced by doubt. He said incredulously.

"How could it be that you persuaded them?"

Bo Ye snorted coldly, his expression remaining indifferent.

Believe it or not, you should thank me anyway.

A hint of arrogance flashed across Fu Xingze's face. He pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to give a strong rebuttal.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still whispered, "Thank you."

His voice was so soft it was almost carried away by the wind. After speaking, he hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards the stairwell without looking back.

Bo Ye watched Fu Xingze's hurried departure and couldn't help but chuckle, raising his voice to ask.

"Fu Xingze, would you like to get closer to your mother?"

Fu Xingze abruptly stopped, turned around, his eyes filled with longing, but his face was full of doubt.
