Chapter 53 - Niannian Didn’t Do It On Purpose Either (2/2)

She must be really looking forward to seeing my engagement get called off!

Greatly taken aback, Wu Meiya asked, “Niannian was at the police station? What happened?”

Li Haoran thought to himself in astonishment, so she does not know about it?

Pretending to realize that she had something wrong, she said awkwardly, “So… you still don’t know about it?”

“What exactly happened? How did Niannian end up in the police station for no reason? Donglin didn’t mention it to me either,” Wu Meiya said as her face grew sullen.

“Well… ” Appearing to be stuck in a dilemma, Fang Zhili turned to look at her husband, seemingly trying to call for help.

Li Haoran glanced at Li Beinian with a tensed face and said, “Niannian, you’d better explain it yourself.”

Li Beinian scoffed sarcastically and stared at them in contempt. “What do you guys want me to say? Do you want me to say that I was too poor to survive so I went to steal some money and ended up getting detained in the police station?”

“You’d better set your attitude straight. You’re here to apologize for your mistakes! This is the Mu Family Mansion!” Li Haoran hollered angrily.

Fang Zhili hurriedly stood up and pressed Li Haoran’s shoulder gently. “Simmer down, you’ve scared her. Niannian didn’t do it on purpose anyway.”

However, her words had sparked an opposite reaction.

Li Haoran stood up and hollered, “Since you did something wrong, you ought to act like you’re remorseful. Put that nonchalant attitude of yours away and stop embarrassing yourself!”

Li Beinian snorted with laughter and retorted with folded arms, “What mistakes have I committed? I didn’t do anything wrong at all. Why do I have to apologize?”

“You… ” Li Haoran gritted his teeth angrily.

Fang Zhili immediately pulled him back and tried to persuade Li Beinian, “Niannian, didn’t we already agree that you’ll put on a good attitude so that your father will treat you well?”

They were suddenly interrupted by Wu Meiya. “Did Niannian commit theft? Didn’t Niannian nab a thief? The police station has already sent us a silk banner to reward her for her bravery and achievement,” Wu Meiya said in bewilderment.
