Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 462: Framing

"What’s wrong? Putting on your pants and trying to deny it? Last night you were caught red-handed by me, naked in bed, begging for my forgiveness, and now you’ve forgotten?"

Xu Zhaodi said, her eyes turning red as she wiped away her tears and started sobbing while narrating.

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Cuilan, following behind, almost believed it if they didn’t know the truth.

No one expected that Sister Zhaodi had such a knack for acting; the tears came at command.

"You’re spewing nonsense! I don’t even know you. Last night, I was clearly at home sleeping. How could I possibly be at your house with your man?"

Liu Aifang was so angry her face turned red.

"Pah! You did it, and yet you dare not admit it. How shameless can you be? I heard you also flirted with a lot of people at the factory. You lowly wench, are you just uncomfortable if no man is fooling around with you?"

Xu Zhaodi pointed at Liu Aifang’s nose while cursing.

Su Xiaoxiao listened in shock beside them. Fortunately, her Sister Zhaodi was here; those were words she truly couldn’t have spoken, too vile.

"You... you’re lying. I didn’t do it. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll fight you."

Liu Aifang was almost in tears from anxiety. She rushed forward to slap Xu Zhaodi, but Xu Zhaodi beat her to it, grabbing her hair and slapping her face with a loud smack.

"You shameless, lowly creature, you even dare to lay hands on me. Do you have no shame?"

As she spoke, she swung her arms around and delivered a flurry of slaps.

Su Xiaoxiao watched in shock from the side, surprised that her usually meek Sister Zhaodi was so fierce in a critical moment.

"You shameless seductress, let’s see if I don’t fix you up today!"

Xu Zhaodi grabbed Liu Aifang’s hair and dragged her outside.

"You’re lying, let go of me, help, she’s lying..."

She cried and wailed continuously, yet no one dared to lend a hand because the woman was simply too fierce.

Men were too embarrassed to lay hands on a woman, and the women feared that they couldn’t beat her and would just end up getting thrashed.

Liu Aifang, hair disheveled, was dragged out of the workshop. Before she could react, her arms were pinned, her mouth gagged, and she was directly dragged out of the factory.

The people in the factory all thought Su Xiaoxiao and the others were there as backup for Xu Zhaodi, the victim, so no one dared to step forward.

Liu Aifang was dragged out of the factory, teary-eyed, and stuffed into a narrow alley.

Xu Zhaodi tossed her to the ground like garbage.

Only then did Liu Aifang notice Su Wenbing following behind the three of them.

Immediately, she looked at him with a face full of pleading, making muffled crying sounds.

Xu Zhaodi grabbed Liu Aifang by the collar and removed the rag from her mouth.

As soon as it was removed, Liu Aifang yelled hoarsely at Su Wenbing, "Mr. Su, what happened yesterday was my fault. Please help me, won’t you? This woman is a lunatic. I don’t even know her, let alone her man..."

Before she could finish, Xu Zhaodi slapped her hard, "Dare to shout nonsense again, and I’ll cut off your tongue!"

Saying this, she pulled out a dagger from her pocket and waved it in front of Liu Aifang.

Liu Aifang was so scared she didn’t dare make a sound, her tearful eyes plaintively looking at Su Wenbing.

Su Wenbing’s face remained stern. "It’s no use looking at me. I’m siding with my sister."

Hearing this, Liu Aifang abruptly raised her head, "You... you’re all in it together?"

"You’re just realizing that now? Too late!"

Xu Zhaodi sneered coldly, waved the dagger, "When my sister asks you questions later, you’d better explain clearly. If you dare lie, I’ll cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

Liu Aifang’s eyes fixed on the gleaming dagger, she immediately nodded frantically, tears in her eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down in front of her, "Speak, who put you up to framing my brother?"

Liu Aifang immediately shook her head, "I didn’t, it was clearly him towards me..."

Before she could finish, the dagger in Xu Zhaodi’s hand was about to stab toward her mouth, then brushed past her ear, leaving a bead of blood on her earlobe.

Liu Aifang was so frightened her face turned white, "Don’t... don’t kill me, I’ll tell the truth. It’s my cousin, I was avenging her."

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, "Who is your cousin?"

"My cousin is Yang Chunyan, she said your brother hurt her badly, so I wanted to take revenge for my cousin by falsely accusing your brother."

"Is that so?"

Su Xiaoxiao squinted at her, not fully believing Liu Aifang’s words.

When this woman spoke, her eyes darted around, not daring to meet hers, clearly she was feeling guilty.

"You’re lying! Tell the truth, or else..."

Su Xiaoxiao signaled to Xu Zhaodi, who immediately understood and aimed the dagger at Liu Aifang’s mouth.

Liu Aifang was scared pale, "I’m... I’m telling the truth..."

"Last chance!"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke word by word.

Xu Zhaodi held the dagger ready, while Liu Cuilan stepped forward to hold Liu Aifang’s shoulder, "I’ll hold her down, so it’s not a crooked cut."

Seeing the tip of the dagger enlarge before her eyes, Liu Aifang trembled all over, finally screaming out as the dagger was just an inch from her mouth, "Don’t do it, I’ll tell the truth, I’ll tell the truth."

"Okay, this is your last chance, think carefully before you speak."

Su Xiaoxiao said slowly.

"I’m not Yang Chunyan’s cousin, she found me and gave me thirty yuan to frame Mr. Su. I... I was just blinded by greed, please let me go."

She cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face.

Su Xiaoxiao observed her expression and felt almost certain that she was telling the truth this time.

"Alright, you will come with us to the police station to testify, and we will leave it at that. Dare to frame my brother again, and you know the consequences..."

Liu Aifang nodded vigorously, "I won’t, I won’t dare anymore."

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have acted against her conscience.

Together, they went to the police station to explain what had happened.

At noon, on her way to work at the department store, Su Xiaoxiao heard that Yang Xiaoyan had been taken away by the police.

"I really didn’t expect it, that girl from the Yang Family seemed honest and straightforward, but she turned out to be such a person."

"Exactly, the Su Family’s eldest avoided a disaster by not marrying her. Just because of this, she sought revenge to ruin someone’s reputation. It’s too malicious."

"I heard she was supposed to meet a guy from the next village’s Liu Family these days. It was almost settled, but now with this happening, no one will probably dare to marry her."

"Tsk tsk, truly one brings about their own downfall."

Amidst the surrounding gossip, Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the department store. As soon as she stepped inside, someone called her, "Manager Su, you’re finally here. The General Manager is looking for you."

Why is the General Manager looking for her?

Su Xiaoxiao wondered as she knocked on the door of the General Manager’s office. Yan Guohua greeted her with a smiling face, "Xiao Su, come in quickly. Can you get some more of that beef sauce you arranged last time?"
