Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 195 Killing the Cuckoo (10)

seeing is believing--

These words were like knives, stabbing Li Tingyi so hard that he shuddered. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down with difficulty, and he felt like he was having trouble breathing.

He knew that all the evidence pointed to him as having done this intentionally; he had the motive to harm Gao Li and the opportunity to do so.

Even so, subconsciously he still hoped that Fang Yi would believe him, believe that he wouldn't hurt his child, and believe that he wasn't such a vicious person.

But Fang Yihe didn't believe it.

This was the first time Fang Yi had doubted his character.

After his extreme anger subsided, Li Tingyi felt a sense of unease and intense resentment.

He was uneasy because Fang Yi no longer trusted him unconditionally. He knew very well that human emotions are like a mirror; once a crack appears, even if it is small, it will grow bigger and bigger if it is not repaired.

He couldn't just break up with Fang Yihe like that.

With this in mind, and unable to bear the injustice, Li Tingyi stopped trying to explain his innocence and started looking for the cause of the problem.

If something happens, there must be a cause and effect relationship.

As long as he can find evidence to prove his innocence, he can mend the rift between him and Fang Yihe.

"There's something fishy about this." Li Tingyi forced himself to calm down, his mind racing as he analyzed and deduced from the smallest clues.

“I clearly felt something hit my arm, and my whole arm was not under any weight, which is why the gift box fell down. The supermarket manager denied that it was an electrical problem, so the problem can only be with me and Gao Li.”

At this point, Li Tingyi frowned: "Gao Li... this is too much of a coincidence. She didn't go to the supermarket near your house, but went to the supermarket downstairs from my house to buy things, and then coincidentally ran into me and asked me to help her carry some things. When I went to get the gift box, everything was fine, but when she reached out to hold the gift box, I lost my strength—it must be her! She framed me!"

The more Li Tingyi talked, the more likely it seemed. He turned to look at Fang Yihe, the question "What if she finds out about our relationship?" was on the tip of his tongue, but when he met Fang Yihe's cold gaze, it got stuck in his throat.

Fang Yihe's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, then she turned her face away from him and said, "You're overthinking it. She's not that kind of person."

Li Tingyi gave a long analysis, only to be shut down by a single, nonchalant remark from him, which immediately enraged him: "She's not that kind of person, am I?"

Fang Yi took a deep breath: "If this is a play she directed and acted in herself, then what do you think she's after?"

"She may have discovered the relationship between you and me! She's using this method to sow discord!"

"impossible……"

"How is it impossible?"

“I know her!” Fang Yi’s tone revealed a hint of impatience. “She’s not a deep-thinking person, and she can’t hide anything on her face. If she had found out about our relationship, she would have come to me for confirmation long ago. Besides, she was still speaking up for you when she woke up today!”

Li Tingyi was taken aback.

"She said you probably just made a mistake and it couldn't have been intentional. She even apologized for dragging you into this situation after asking for your help. If she really wanted to sow discord, why would she defend you and urge me to go to the police station to bring you out?"

Li Tingyi: "...Fang Yihe, haven't you ever watched melodramatic urban dramas? Those scheming green tea girls all talk like that. Gao Li seems to be making excuses for me, but in reality, she's confirming that the gift box was thrown from my hands."

"Isn't that the truth?"

Li Tingyi: "..."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.

Fang Yihe is not good at arguing, and she doesn't want to argue with Li Tingyi.

Meeting Li Tingyi's reddened eyes, he raised his hand in a gesture to stop the argument: "Alright, Tingyi, the matter has been resolved. There's no point in arguing about it now..."

"How is it meaningless?" Li Tingyi trembled with anger. "I fucking said I didn't do it! If I didn't do it, I can't take the blame!"

Fang Yihe: "..."

"You wait, I will definitely investigate the facts and make sure no one can frame me!"

After Li Tingyi finished speaking, he opened the car door, got out, slammed the door shut, and strode away.

Fang Yihe watched his retreating figure, her expression filled with bitterness.

-

At the same time, the hospital.

Yan Zhen sat on the hospital bed, drinking the chicken soup that Fang's mother had brought over.

The chicken soup was cooked to perfection, and Fang's mother carefully filtered out the oil on top, resulting in a very delicious flavor.

As Yan Zhen drank, Fang's mother sat by the hospital bed, looking at her with loving and heartbroken eyes.

Fang's mother is a university teacher. She is a serious person and rarely smiles, whether it's Fang's father or Fang Yihe. However, she is very kind to Gao Li.

In her previous life, during Gao Li's pregnancy, Fang's mother bought her all sorts of tonics and accompanied her to prenatal checkups whenever she had time. She spent money and effort on her and was always kind and gentle to her.

Occasionally, when Gao Li and Fang Yihe had a minor conflict, she would always side with Gao Li without asking why, and scold Fang Yihe for being immature.

Gao Li once thought she had hit the jackpot to meet such a wonderful mother-in-law.

Later, Gao Li discovered Fang Yihe's affair with Li Tingyi. Fang's mother tried to persuade her not to divorce, and Gao Li realized that the reason Fang was so good to her was because she wanted a child and needed her to cover up Fang Yihe's sexuality.

After Yan Zhen finished her soup, Fang Ma cleaned up the bowl and brought hot water to wipe her face and hands with a towel.

“You need to take good care of yourself during your postpartum period so you won’t develop health problems later. Yihe is a man and not very attentive. I’ve hired a caregiver to look after you; she’ll be here later.” Fang’s mother kept nagging. “Just stay in the hospital and don’t worry too much. Take good care of yourself, and we’ll have a long future together.”

Yan Zhen nodded obediently, then frowned slightly, looking worried.

Fang's mother noticed her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhen told him about Fang Yihe going to the police station to bail Li Tingyi: "Yihe hasn't come back for so long, could something have happened to him?"

When Li Tingyi was mentioned, Fang Ma's face darkened: "Don't worry about him. He brought this on himself. He made a bad choice in his friends."

Yan Zhen sensed the hidden meaning in her words and decided to probe for information: "Mom, don't you like Xiao Li?"

Fang's mother hesitated for a moment, then finally said reluctantly, "No."

"That's good." Yan Zhen pretended not to understand her expression and casually complained, "Yihe has a very good relationship with him and often invites him to her home. Xiao Li even said that he would be the child's godfather in the future."

Fang Ma's expression changed, but she was mindful of Yan Zhen's presence, so she forced herself not to show her emotions. After wiping Yan Zhen's body, she made an excuse and left.

Seeing her hurried manner, Yan Zhen guessed that Fang Yi was bound to get a scolding soon.

No sooner had Fang's mother left than the Gao family arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao, along with their younger brother Gao Heng, came in carrying fruit.

Each of the three did their own thing—Gao's mother inquired about Yan Zhen's condition, Gao's father sat down on the sofa and started smoking, while Gao Heng held his phone and chatted with someone, his two thumbs almost sparking from the keyboard.
