Chapter 1137: Chapter 1139: Quibbling (5) Chapter 1137: Chapter 1139: Quibbling (5) Since she was still in the bail phase, detectives were not convenient to visit, so they only sent her an electronic document.

Lu Weixi hesitated for a moment. Initially, she had truly looked forward to this document, but now, she handed her mobile phone to Qin Zhiyou, “You take a look.”

Qin Zhiyou understood, took the mobile phone, opened the file, and went straight to the conclusion. Lu Weixi walked to the edge of the bed, slowly sat down, her eyes slightly vacant. She had not slept at all the previous night, and the momentum she had maintained outside seemed to deflate in an instant once she was in the room. She sat in a daze for a long time, then looked up, “How is it?”

Qin Zhiyou turned around, “There’s bad news and good news, which do you want to hear first?”

Lu Weixi gave a wry smile, “At this point, what bad news could I possibly be afraid of? You go ahead and tell me.”

Qin Zhiyou nodded, “The bad news is, Cai Yiren indeed isn’t her uncle’s biological daughter.”

Lu Weixi was actually not surprised. The original conjecture was somewhat absurd. Even if Cai Yiren’s mother had an ambiguous relationship with the uncle from the Cai Family, it didn’t mean that they had an affair back in the day. After all, so many years had passed, this possibility was indeed very slim.

Qin Zhiyou saw her calm face–no, rather than saying she was calm, it was more like her heart had become barren, as if resigned to desolation.

Not shocked to the point of stupidity, but definitely feeling very tired, extremely tired. The strength she had displayed outside was equal to the weariness she now felt in her heart.

“Aren’t you going to ask what the good news is?”

Lu Weixi had clearly lost interest, answering listlessly, “What’s the good news?”

“The good news is, Cai Yiren’s mother and her brother were indeed having an affair,” said Qin Zhiyou as he handed the mobile phone to her, “Although the private detective didn’t capture direct footage of their relationship, he investigated the uncle’s assets and found a private residence. He goes there every two weeks to stay for a day or two, and at that time, Cai Yiren’s mother would also visit and stay during his presence. Moreover, the detective pretended to be a community registrar and inquired with the housekeeper, who confirmed that the mistress of the house is indeed Cai Yiren’s mother. And this private residence is likely unknown even to the uncle’s wife and children. What do you think the two of them, a grown man and woman, are doing buying a house secretly and going there to stay for a while, sometimes for a full day and sometimes for half a day? They couldn’t possibly be inviting the housekeeper for a three-person game of Fight the Landlord, right?”

Lu Weixi took the mobile phone and looked closely. Indeed, there were photos of Cai Yiren’s uncle and mother meeting at that private residence–an almost direct piece of evidence. Unless Cai Yiren’s mother can insist that she has some familial affection to discuss with her distant cousin, it would be hard to stand her ground.

But now, these were not the main point. The main issue was that Lu Weixi was still in the bail phase. Although it was very likely that she would not be convicted in the future, she really had no way to control public opinion.

Qin Zhiyou had already tried hard to tone down the media frenzy, but Cai Yiren had already made preparations well in advance. Although the intensity of the media coverage was curbed, she had contacted many media outlets, and they continued to report the story. Even without trending searches, the buzz remained.

Without thinking, Lu Weixi knew that in these news reports, she was uniformly portrayed as a scorned lover in a wealthy family’s inheritance dispute, engaging in viperous acts as the true and fake daughters fought. She faced the condemnation of thousands. Moreover, her firm, Lulu Design Institute, had its phone lines blown up with inquiries, all wanting to curse her ancestors.
