Chapter 1465: Family Isn't Helping

The old lady didn't dare to speak anymore.

The man was reeking of alcohol, his tongue thick as he leered at Jian Yixin, his eyes practically glued to her.

Moli stood in front of his mother, blocking the man's disgusting gaze.

"Who are you?"

"Yo, little brat, I didn't ask you, but you're asking me? You come into my house and ask me who I am? Are you here to be funny, you bastard..." The man stopped mid-sentence, squinting his eyes as he looked him up and down.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Moli with both hands, asking eagerly, "Are you the 'mark' Xiao Qian mentioned... no, I mean, the boyfriend."

"No," Moli denied.

"Mom, let's go."

He stood up and pulled his mother, intending to leave.

It was truly ironic; "mark" meant a fool, and it was Cui Xiaoqian who had enlightened him on that.

Cui Xiaoqian lied; everything she said in front of him was a lie. Now he could be certain—his big brother was right!

From the beginning until now, every step had been a trap, yet he had been blinded by "love" and walked into it step by step, willingly.

For the first time, Moli witnessed the malice of the human heart.

He pulled his mother, wanting to leave, but Cui Xiaoqian's father wouldn't let them.

He pushed Moli back into his seat and asked if he had come to the house to give him money.

Three million would do, bank transfer or cash were both fine; he was "very easy to talk to."

"No, we came to collect a debt. Your daughter owes our family money, and as her parent..." Jian Yixin played the long game.

Cui's father changed his expression: "What? You're not giving me money, but instead asking me for money? No, no, I don't have a single cent. Get out, get out..."

Jian Yixin and her son were kicked out of the Cui house—"Bang," the wooden door behind them slammed shut, followed immediately by cursing from inside.

Cui's father was slurring his words, so it wasn't very clear, but the general meaning could still be made out.

He cursed Moli for being a pretty boy with no good intentions, wanting to get something for nothing after taking advantage of her... He also cursed his daughter for bragging, saying three million had gone down the drain, and what a pity about his money...

Moli was too angry to let it go and wanted to rush back in to argue with Cui's father, but he was dragged away by his mother.

"Let's go. You can't reason with someone like that. It's enough that you've seen Cui Xiaoqian's true colors."

After returning from the Cui house, Moli went back to school for classes, but he was always depressed and couldn't get his spirits up for anything.

He brought up breaking up with Cui Xiaoqian.

Although Moli had seen through Cui Xiaoqian's character, this was his first love, after all. That his first love was actually a scheme and a scam was something he couldn't accept.

Furthermore, he still couldn't quite let go of Cui Xiaoqian, harboring a sliver of hope in his heart that she might turn over a new leaf.

Jian Yixin was so anxious that she ran to find Shi Youxuan again, asking her what she should do.

Her son had lost a significant amount of weight these past few days, and that Cui Xiaoqian was still pestering him relentlessly. If this continued, she feared that in a few days, everything they had done would be for nothing!

Shi Youxuan reminded her: "Have you told Moli that the casino was a setup by Cui Xiaoqian?"

Jian Yixin: "I did. At first he believed it, but now he's wavering again. What do you think I should do? Should I just go and accompany him at school?"

"If you go to accompany him, what about the group? Are you going to move thousands of people from headquarters along with you?"

Even though she was well-traveled and knowledgeable, Shi Youxuan was shocked by her close friend. This idea was too impulsive and too bold; besides her, no one would dare to think this way. What a massive undertaking that would be!

There were thousands of employees at headquarters; if thousands of people followed her over, it would mean their daily commute time would increase significantly.

If she built dormitories over there, it would mean thousands of families would be separated.

That was just one aspect; it would also involve many other things.

Moreover, such a huge matter couldn't be completed in two or three days.

Before she could persuade her, Jian Yixin said herself: "Xuanxuan, you don't need to persuade me. I know doing this isn't realistic. I won't go to accompany him at school. Moli is already a university student; he wouldn't agree to it even if I went."

That was okay; she hadn't been too radical yet.

The two discussed it for an entire afternoon, and in the end, Jian Yixin left Shi Youxuan's house with a smile.

Three days later.

Moli had been "brainwashed" by Cui Xiaoqian incessantly, and his resolve was wavering severely. At this moment, a stranger added him on WeChat, with the application note stating they had Cui Xiaoqian's secret.

After he accepted, before he could even ask, the other party sent over a video.

The video showed Daobalian and Cui Xiaoqian at the Qipaishe. Cui Xiaoqian was puffing on a cigarette, skillfully shuffling tiles while cursing her father for being a pig and almost ruining her good thing.

Cui Xiaoqian also told Daobalian that she had finally managed to coax Moli back, so the two of them shouldn't see each other for a while, and they would talk after this period passed.

Daobalian reached out suggestively and said, what if I miss you and want to see you?

Cui Xiaoqian leaned into his arms and said, just wait a little longer. Once I handle that mark Sheng Moli, why would we have to worry about not having a good life?

Daobalian curled his lip: "The devil would believe your words. Don't look like you're not much to look at, but that mouth of yours is powerful; you can talk the dead back to life."

Cui Xiaoqian said, you are my first time, after all. A woman is most cautious about her first time; I wouldn't lie to you even if I lied to anyone else!

Daobalian was disdainful, saying you've had at least a dozen men. You say that to every man; you might fool others, but you can't fool me.

The last day of your period is still different from the first time; you can save that act for someone else in front of me...

Moli dropped his phone and wailed loudly.

This video of Cui Xiaoqian was uploaded to the internet by someone unknown and went viral.

When she tried to find Moli again, she couldn't even see him.

Cui Xiaoqian's reputation was completely ruined. If it were just a matter of personal conduct, the school expelling her would have been the end of it, but after this video spread, one after another, male students went to the police station to report her.

They reported that Cui Xiaoqian had taken them to that "Qipaishe" and they had lost a lot of money.

In addition, there were some other shady dealings that were now all exposed to the light. Cui Xiaoqian was taken away by the police for investigation. When they investigated Moli, he flatly denied it.

"I don't know. I just knew her; we weren't even friends, and she didn't cheat me out of money."

The police officer said: "You had better think clearly before answering. Cui Xiaoqian has already confessed everything inside. She cheated so many people, and you were the one cheated out of the largest amount. You are the victim; are you sure you still want to speak up for her?"

This is not a criminal case, nor does it constitute the crime of harboring a criminal.

It is just that if Moli does not pursue the matter, the amount Cui Xiaoqian defrauded is not enough for her to be sentenced to many years.

Moli replied: "Officer, I have thought it through. I have no relationship with her and was not defrauded; please go investigate others."

In the end, because Moli did not pursue the matter, Cui Xiaoqian was sentenced to one year in prison, with a one-year reprieve.
