After a Failed Blind Date, a Rich Woman Tries to Get Into My Heart - Chapter 200

Around 1 p.m., the landlady arrived at the Jianghai City Criminal Investigation Bureau with Li Liusi. Some parts of the case required her presence for evidence collection.

The past two days, the landlady had been helping Li Liusi move. At the same time, she comforted and looked after her emotional well-being.

Shen Lang didn’t hide what happened to Li Liusi from Xia Shuyi. Naturally, upon learning that Liusi had been bullied, Xia Shuyi was furious.

She had always liked this kind, innocent girl. And ever since Li Liusi started spending time with Shen Lang, Xia Shuyi also felt a lingering sense of guilt toward her.

If Shen Lang hadn’t insisted he could handle it, the landlady was already prepared to deal with the three vicious girls herself.

As soon as Li Liusi arrived at the station, the parents of Zhang Li and Gu Qing rushed over like they had seen their savior.

They tearfully begged her to sign a letter of understanding and even had their daughters kneel before her, crying and kowtowing for forgiveness.

Initial judgment suggested the two girls would likely serve at least three years.

No matter how evil these girls were, they were still their daughters. Both sets of parents desperately wanted to turn things around, hoping for some kind of reversal.

As for Guan Shumin, there was simply too much evidence stored on her phone.

Not only did she act arrogantly and maliciously on campus, but she behaved just as badly outside, causing trouble wherever she went.

Guan Shumin’s mother had accepted plenty of kickbacks, but she was still competent at her job, contributing decent profits to the company each year.

For employees like her who used their position for some extra income—so long as it wasn’t too outrageous—most bosses would just turn a blind eye.

Unfortunately, their daughter had kicked the iron wall this time, offending someone far beyond their league.

Before they could even begin pulling strings or begging for favors, Ye Hai had already laid a trap and caught them all in one net.

Their boss wouldn’t risk offending Ye Hai just to protect a couple of competent employees.

And as for Guan Yongsheng having connections in the Education Bureau? So what?

If it were a regular school incident, maybe he could’ve asked some favors from his contacts in the Bureau to smooth things over.

But once the Education Bureau learned that this entire incident was being handled by Jianghai City’s wealthiest man—Ye Hai—those so-called contacts immediately cut ties.

No one dared to get involved or speak up. They couldn’t distance themselves fast enough.

In less than a day, the proud mother and the entire web of connections Guan Shumin relied on were wiped out without a trace.

The whole family—three of them—were now locked in holding cells, probably still unaware of exactly who they had provoked.

“W-What should I do?”

Li Liusi looked helplessly at the parents being stopped by police officers and pushed the decision onto Shen Lang.

“Do whatever you feel is right. Whether you sign it or not, those two are going to prison.”

Shen Lang explained seriously.

“If you do sign, they might serve a little less time. Either way, I’ve got your back. Just make the choice you want.”

Li Liusi looked at the sobbing parents, then at the two bullies who were casting pleading looks her way.

After a moment of inner struggle, she made her decision and followed the officer to give her statement and complete the paperwork.

“Honestly, they should be locked up for life. That way they won’t harm anyone else.”

Xia Shuyi spat angrily at the two girls in handcuffs.

Li Liusi was such a sweet and gentle girl, yet she had been tormented by these monsters.

Even the usually calm landlady trembled with rage after watching the video of the bullying.

She had a lovely daughter of her own. Just imagining her child possibly facing something like this in the future made her irrationally angry.

“Yinan, we really owe it all to you this time.”

Xia Shuyi smiled and greeted Ye Yinan.

The landlady had originally planned to call in favors for Shen Lang.

But Shen Lang had directly gone to Ye Yinan—a walking “cheat code.” In less than two days, all three bullies had been arrested.

Ye Yinan shook her head casually, showing a sweet and innocent smile.
“It’s nothing. Shen Lang is a good friend of mine.”

“Of course.”

The landlady gave Shen Lang a meaningful look—

Equal parts dissatisfaction at his open disregard for Ye Yinan’s feelings, and admiration for how easily he could call on her help.

Ye Yinan wasn’t the kind of person who held all the power in Jianghai herself. It was obvious her father, Ye Hai, had intervened behind the scenes.

About half an hour later, Li Liusi was finally led out by an officer, looking visibly conflicted.

“You signed it?”

Seeing the heavy look on her face, Shen Lang asked directly.

Li Liusi hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.

“Signed it is, then.”

After a brief, tense pause, Shen Lang let out a soft sigh. He didn’t press the issue. This was exactly like Li Liusi.

Even though she had been the one bullied, she couldn’t bear to see the parents suffer like that.

Some people can turn into monsters in just a few days, while others stay kind-hearted and pure their entire lives.

“Let me introduce you—this is my friend, Ye Yinan.”

Now that things had been resolved, Shen Lang tried to lighten the mood with a warm introduction.
“Yinan, this is my girlfriend, Li Liusi.”

“N-Nice to meet you.”

Seeing Shen Lang formally introduce Li Liusi as his girlfriend made Ye Yinan’s heart stir. She was both unwilling and inexplicably thrilled. Her breathing visibly quickened.

The landlady quickly jumped in to help the mood:
“Liusi, things were resolved so quickly this time thanks to Yinan’s help behind the scenes.”

Li Liusi didn’t notice the emotional shift in the little heiress. She simply bowed gratefully.
“Th-thank you so much!”

“No need for that.”

Ye Yinan waved her hand, flustered by the attention.

“Alright, alright. Since everything’s taken care of, let’s head home and celebrate with a nice meal.”

The landlady comforted gently.

“Liusi, don’t think too much about the past few days. The bad guys have all been brought to justice. Just focus on your studies now. No matter what happens, we’ve got your back.”

“Mm. Thank you, everyone.”

Li Liusi’s voice trembled with gratitude.

Outside, the winter snow was falling heavily.

But in this moment, Li Liusi felt a warmth in her heart that couldn’t be shaken.

…

Back at the Jiujian Tang villa, Shen Lang noticed that what was once a cold, empty house had now been neatly arranged by the landlady and Li Liusi.

Everything one could need for daily life was there. The once lonely villa was now filled with the warmth of a home.

In the living room, Ye Yinan and Li Liusi were opening packages—various household goods Xia Shuyi had helped order online.

The landlady had already treated this place as her second home, so naturally she wanted to make sure everything was just right.
