CLG Chapter 41

After Mo Wenli went to prison, Shi Hua had asked Meng Yue about this matter, but Meng Yue remained silent, only hoping that Shi Hua would stop asking about it. However, judging from Meng Yue’s attitude, Shi Hua believed that this matter was not simple.
So now that Mo Wenli wanted to see Meng Yue again, he was afraid that the two of them wouldn’t even be able to remain calm.
Considering the situation of both parties, Shi Hua was somewhat worried. After all, this was not a trivial matter that could be resolved with a meal. If he knew the truth, he couldn’t guarantee that Mo Wenli wouldn’t do something out of line. She had nothing now.
“What, are you afraid that I’ll kill her too?” Mo Wenli said.
“It’s not that, you know, I won’t kill people.” Shi Hua looked at her and said.
Moreover, to be honest, Meng Yue also had reasons to hate her.
Faced with Mo Wenli’s repeated requests, Shi Hua finally agreed.
What Shi Hua didn’t expect was that when he told Meng Yue the news, Meng Yue agreed without even thinking, saying she was available anytime.
Shi Hua was silent for a while, then he tentatively asked, “Mo Wenli might be innocent, right?”
“Yes.” Meng Yue’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Do I know the murderer?”
“It’s me.” Meng Yue’s answer made Shi Hua fall into silence again.
“Of course, I have nothing but time now.”
Shi Hua sighed silently in his heart, only hoping that things wouldn’t get too bad a few days later.
Shi Hua didn’t hide anything, because even if he didn’t say it, Mo Wenli would definitely ask Meng Yue after they met.
He briefly explained: Before graduation, Meng Yue became a high school teacher, Meng Yue moved to a new home, Meng Yue said that it was her former home…
“How do you know so much? Have you been in touch?”
“Ah?!” Shi Hua suddenly felt embarrassed, his expression both ashamed and surprised, “No, no, occasionally, occasionally.”
In fact, his contact with Meng Yue was indeed sporadic, and he would only see her once in a while, until half a year ago…
Seeing Shi Hua’s unnatural expression, Mo Wenli also smiled lightly.
Time flew by to the weekend, the day when the three of them reunited after many years.
“No, it’s her.”
“Really? She didn’t like to come to this kind of place before.” Mo Wenli said in surprise.
“I was wondering, when was the last time the three of us were in a place like this.”
Mo Wenli rolled her eyes at him and pulled him in.
Shi Hua glanced at his phone. There was a message from Meng Yue, with a photo attached. She said she was in a corner, but she didn’t specify where. However, after scanning around, Shi Hua also spotted the target, and walked towards a large wooden table in a remote corner. Mo Wenli quickly followed behind him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Wenli walked from behind him to the front, staring at the woman who was enjoying smoking. She couldn’t believe that the woman smoking and drinking in front of her was actually Meng Yue! If it weren’t for the same face, she wouldn’t have believed that this behavior would appear on her.
Under the table was a can of opened beer. The wall of the glass in front of Meng Yue still had foam hanging on it, obviously she had already drunk some before Shi Hua and Mo Wenli arrived.
“Meng Yue?” Mo Wenli stood, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, and said.
She started to look at Mo Wenli “sideways”, “Long time no see.”
Shi Hua didn’t expect the two of them to be so confrontational as soon as they met. He quickly tried to smooth things over, he didn’t want the two of them to argue here.
Indeed, Meng Yue had changed a lot, but people always change. Shi Hua was also a little shocked when he saw Meng Yue smoking at the time, but he slowly accepted it…
Mo Wenli didn’t know what they were talking about. She only had one question she wanted to know the answer to now.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What do you think?” Mo Wenli endured her anger and said in a deep voice.
Mo Wenli was stunned when she heard this conversation.
Seeing Shi Hua with a gloomy expression, “She… is she sick?” Mo Wenli asked.
Shi Hua nodded. After thinking it over and over, he told Mo Wenli about Meng Yue’s situation. One reason was that this matter couldn’t be hidden sooner or later, and the other was that he hoped that the two of them could reconcile before Meng Yue died, although it seemed impossible.
“Are you crazy, you guys.” After listening to Shi Hua’s story, Mo Wenli widened her eyes and said in shock.
There was only one purpose in doing so, she just wanted everyone to know what kind of person Chen Xuelin was. She always hated the man who ruined her life back then, and this matter seemed to have become a nightmare that haunted her.
But this matter was obviously not easy. One reason was that Chen Xuelin had been dead for a long time and there was not much attention, and the other was that she couldn’t get any definite evidence to prove these things, or even any witnesses or testimonies. Even the clues that Shi Hua had given her some time ago didn’t yield any results.
She had managed to find a few people these days, but she hadn’t been able to get any help from them. This situation made Meng Yue feel disheartened.
She proposed an unrealistic idea to Shi Hua: to make Chen Xuelin the false culprit.
Of course, Shi Hua didn’t agree when he first heard this idea, but Meng Yue seemed to have lost patience. Not long ago, she even told him the location where she planned to die.
Faced with Mo Wenli’s exclamation, Shi Hua could only sigh, he also wished there was another solution.
“What is she thinking, do you want her to die?” Back at Shi Hua’s house, Mo Wenli asked again.
“I probably don’t know, the reports of various media reporters before Chen Xuelin died.”
Mo Wenli curiously searched for his name on her phone, and soon a lot of related news appeared. But what made her feel angry was that these news reports were simply nonsense. In their articles, Chen Xuelin was completely presented as a victim, while she, Mo Wenli, was an out-and-out woman who used the professor to complete her studies.
Due to the identities of the two people, this case was not handled privately, and these media outlets seemed to have been instructed, and basically pointed the finger at Mo Wenli, while Chen Xuelin was a pure victim.
Mo Wenli’s face turned dark after reading it. She never expected the situation to turn out like this.
After such a big incident, Chen Xuelin’s hypocritical disguise was not torn apart, and she didn’t expect this to happen.
“He is indeed dead, but I think he really deserved to die! I admit that I also had problems, but… but…” Mo Wenli spat out disgustedly.
If Chen Xuelin hadn’t used tricks on her back then, would she have agreed to him? Impossible!
She admitted that there might have been elements of mutual use later on, but the beginning was definitely a problem with Chen Xuelin’s character, otherwise she would definitely not have accepted this suffocating relationship.
“That’s no problem, but… to tell you the truth, I’m not sure about this matter either.” Shi Hua said with emotion.
Thinking of his bold words a few years ago, it’s a bit funny to look at them now.
The past few days have been normal. Mo Wenli also started trying to find a job, but now, she doesn’t even have a stable job that can make her feel safe, or rather, she can’t find one. The reason for the failure is that most of the time, those bosses who were hiring would immediately remain silent when they heard that she was a former prisoner.
“Don’t be discouraged, look for it slowly.” Shi Hua comforted her when he saw Mo Wenli’s low mood.
“Where are you going?” Mo Wenli asked, seeing Shi Hua carrying his backpack and preparing to go out.
“To Meng Yue’s house.”
“I’ll come too.”
What Mo Wenli didn’t expect was that she had heard Shi Hua say before that Meng Yue had moved to a new house, and this so-called new house was actually in an old residential area.
Weak light shone into the corridor from the holes in the building. The two of them went to Meng Yue’s door and knocked.
Meng Yue quickly opened the door. She wasn’t very surprised when she saw Mo Wenli, nor did she say much. She opened the door and let them in.
There were also faded pieces of certificates on the wall, some of Meng Yue’s, and some of someone named “Meng Huan”. It was said that she was Meng Yue’s sister.
Mo Wenli remembered Meng Yue saying that her parents had died early, and she only had a sister who was working. If she graduated with a master’s degree and worked smoothly, her life shouldn’t be bad, but the house in front of her was very simple, without luxurious decorations, and even the walls were old. This was very different from what she had imagined.
Shi Hua had also said before that Meng Yue had only worked as a high school teacher for a year before resigning, and then she began to look for evidence. It seemed that she didn’t have much money now, or rather, she had spent all her savings for this. Mo Wenli felt an unspeakable emotion in her heart.
Although she hated Chen Xuelin now, she also harbored resentment towards Meng Yue. The pain of three years was not something that could be forgotten just by saying it.
“How about we make a deal?”
Not only Mo Wenli, but even Shi Hua raised his head and looked at Meng Yue in surprise.
“What deal?”
