Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Official Business

This time, Sun Hao didn’t need to say a word; the officer nearby remarked, "He Caixia, behave yourself; this isn’t the place for your nonsense. If you continue like this, everything will be handled according to the law. You should know, being allowed to meet the involved party and speak face-to-face is already leniency by the law."

Lin Chuxia looked at He Caixia with a defiant expression and directly asked the officer, "I did some calculations just now. The missing furniture and household items, including that television, amount to about two thousand yuan. If receipts are needed, I can provide them. Comrade, how long is the theft of this amount punishable for?"

"According to our country’s law, theft over 200 yuan falls under a significant amount, punished by up to three years of imprisonment, detention, or control, plus a fine. With her amount, she could be inside for two to three years."

Hearing that she might actually serve time, He Caixia was unsettled.

"You can’t do this; those are my dad’s things," she said, glancing at Lin Chuxia’s slightly mocking gaze, then hurriedly corrected herself, "This isn’t for her to decide alone. I need to see my dad. He surely won’t let me go to jail."

"He Caixia, Master won’t see you. Last time he already warned you. Since he cut ties as father and daughter, he meant it to be clean. He also said he wouldn’t acknowledge you as his daughter anymore. It was you who broke Old Sir He’s heart originally. When he was alone and miserable, you ignored him, and now, after secretly selling his stuff, you want him to plead for you? Can you have a bit of a conscience and not be so shameless?"

She stood upright and turned to Sun Hao, "There’s nothing more to say. Let’s handle this officially. I’ll cooperate with whatever process you need."

Before coming here, she had already made things clear to Master. If he still cherished the father-daughter relationship, this matter would pass. If he didn’t want any further contact with his two daughters, Lin Chuxia would handle it.

Old Master He chose the latter, but he wanted to come along to see.

Actually, when the two daughters approached Old Master He last time, Lin Chuxia had already seen through them; they had long broken his heart.

But those two had too much nerve, and Old Master He couldn’t bring himself to cut ties.

Back then, when Old Master He decided to leave An City for Yan City, aside from her pregnancy, he also wanted to stay away from those two daughters.

"No," He Caixia shouted, "Lin Chuxia, Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I can’t go to jail. I had no choice. You know, my husband got laid off, and my daughter can’t afford her school fees. I had no choice but to think of my dad’s house. He doesn’t live there now, and it’s just sitting empty. I only sold a few pieces of furniture..."

"So you’re saying you even considered selling the house?" Lin Chuxia was almost amused with anger. "He Caixia, I’ve seen heartless people, but none as heartless as you."

He Caixia, seeing her reaction, got anxious too, "Lin Chuxia, you call me heartless, how much better are you? You’re not even related to my dad, yet you want to be responsible for him till his end, isn’t it because you have your eyes on his house? In the end, you’re no better than me. My dad just got old and confused, and you tricked him. Someday, you’ll face retribution for this."

"Your dad’s house? He Caixia, do you even hear yourself? If his house is so valuable to you, why didn’t you take care of him when he returned back then, but instead let an outsider like me take advantage?"

He Caixia was speechless, but the thought of prison made her cry and plead.

"I was wrong, Mr. Lin. Please don’t hold it against me, considering my dad’s face, give me a break. After all, I’m his real daughter. If you send me to jail, my dad would be heartbroken too."

But Lin Chuxia didn’t want to waste her breath on her anymore and left the interrogation room with Sun Hao.

Sun Hao was also deeply scornful of He Caixia’s behavior.

In fact, what Lin Chuxia didn’t mention was that when Old Master He moved to Yan City, he had already given her the property here.
