Li Chengyuan released her chin, snorted coldly, and sat back down in the car seat. He shook his wrinkled suit, his expression cold and serious.

"Lin Zhixia, you should have thought this day would come from the moment you lied to me. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions!"

He once genuinely wanted to work hard, earn money to give her a stable home, and imagine the moment when the two of them would walk down the aisle.

But now he realizes that all of this was just a dream Lin Zhixia had painted for him. Now that the dream is over, all his beliefs have collapsed.

Lin Zhixia's heart felt like it was spasming, throbbing with each beat. She had a feeling that what she feared most was exactly what was coming to pass, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Back at the Li family home, Li Chengyuan brought Lin Zhixia to Old Master Li. Bai Muqing and Bai Qingruan stood on either side, their eyes darting towards Lin Zhixia as if they wanted to devour her.

The servants and nannies of the Li family were also pointing fingers at her.

"This Lin Zhixia seems so honest and decent, but I never expected her to be so wicked. She kept it a secret from the Li family for so long and even dared to work as a nanny in the Li family. She's incredibly audacious."

"Exactly! She's such a wicked person. The old man was hospitalized because of Young Master Li's disappearance, and even while busy with work, Young Master Li was still looking for him. She just watched and wouldn't say a word. She's truly treacherous!"

"That's outrageous! If I were her, I'd have nightmares every day and night. I'd be earning a salary from the Li family during the day, only to go home and treat young CEO Li like a slave, making him earn money for me!"

"Why bring a woman like this back to the Li family? If it were me, I would have taken her to the police station immediately. Not only was she involved in a hit-and-run, but she also concealed the truth. All these crimes combined would be enough to get her into serious trouble."

Bai Qingruan was also furious when she saw Lin Zhixia. She had disliked her for a long time, and now they had finally caught her red-handed.

"Exactly! Call the police and sue her! She made Brother Yuan suffer for so long; this woman is utterly heartless!"

"My sister cried every day after she found out."

As Bai Qingruan spoke, she deliberately pulled Bai Muqing in front of Li Chengyuan.

As Mr. Li sat in his chair, the gentleness in his eyes vanished, replaced by anger, and his face gradually turned cold.

"Lin Zhixia, I was just thinking of giving you a chance a few days ago to bring Ayuan back, but what did you do? You went to seek refuge with Ayuan's brothers and even wanted Xu Yanzhou to take you abroad!"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you go in the first place!"

Lin Zhixia lowered her eyes and made no explanation; it was the truth.

Before this happened, Lin Zhixia always thought she could gracefully retire, but now she realizes that she had overestimated herself.

Seeing that Lin Zhixia remained silent, Master Li became even angrier. Shouldn't she be apologizing and begging for their forgiveness at this time?

Or perhaps she doesn't think she did anything wrong at all.

Mr. Li slammed his hand on the table, his face contorted with rage: "Call the police! Call the police immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingruan immediately prepared to pick up her phone to call the police, but was stopped by Li Chengyuan, whose eyes seemed to be covered with frost.

"Bai Qingruan, this is a family matter of the Li family, and you don't need to worry about it."

Upon hearing Li Chengyuan's words, Bai Qingruan's face turned pale and then red, and her grip on her phone tightened involuntarily.

She asked, somewhat incredulously, "Brother A-Yuan, are you planning to let her go?"

Old Master Li also looked at Li Chengyuan with a shocked expression: "A-Yuan, this woman treated you like this, lied to you for so long, and made you suffer so much. Just thinking about how you got into a car accident because of her makes me want to make her spend the rest of her life in jail."

When Master Li thought about what Bai Muqing had told him, his old, cloudy eyes turned red.

"My grandson has been pampered like a treasure since he was little. I've never even gotten him to cook me a meal. Now he has to serve this woman like a servant every day!"

Lin Zhixia bit her lower lip, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her face as pale as paper, the bitterness pressing on her heart.

Li Chengyuan's expression was indifferent: "Wouldn't it be too easy to send her to jail? Let her stay in the Li family and take care of Xiaobao. I will make arrangements for everything else."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia's pupils trembled violently. Sure enough, she knew that Li Chengyuan would not let her off so easily.

Although it sounds like she's not going to jail, given Li Chengyuan's crazy personality, she'll only suffer more if she stays in the Li family.

She immediately said to Master Li, "No, Master Li, let me go to jail instead. I don't want to stay in the Li family."

Upon hearing this, Bai Muqing panicked. She couldn't quite tell whether A Yuan truly wanted to take revenge on Lin Zhixia or simply didn't want her to suffer in prison.

But given A Yuan's personality, he really wouldn't want to let Lin Zhixia off so easily.

This woman is absolutely despicable; she deserves to be torn to pieces. Even if an ordinary person had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare treat the second young master of the Li family like that.

At this moment, Li Jingchuan walked up to Master Li, bent down and whispered to him.

"I think we should let A-Yuan handle this himself. After all, he's the one who's suffered outside all this time, and none of us have the right to interfere."

Master Li asked with some concern, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Are you sure A-Yuan can handle this? I mean, he's been with this woman for so long, what if she pretends to be innocent again? Won't A-Yuan soften his heart?"

Li Jingchuan scoffed, "If A Yuan hadn't regained his memories, I might have thought it was possible. But now that he has, his personality will revert to what it was before. Do you think he'd be soft-hearted towards a woman who deceived him for so long?"

"Besides, Xiao Bao has been really difficult to take care of lately. He cries all night long, and none of the nannies in the family can soothe him. Although Lin Zhixia is indeed not a decent person, she is very dedicated to taking care of Xiao Bao, otherwise Xiao Bao wouldn't like her so much."

In the few days since Master Li returned, he has indeed witnessed the little guy's prowess. During the day, he only cried intermittently, but at night, his crying was deafening.

If he keeps crying like this, he's afraid he'll suffer a nervous breakdown.

Master Li nodded and then made the arrangements.

"Lin Zhixia, our Li family can temporarily refrain from prosecuting you. However, if we do, you cannot bear the responsibility. You will face compensation and imprisonment. By the time you get out, your life will be practically ruined. Do you think it's as simple as just going to jail?"
