Chapter 781: Chapter 785: Crazy Wishful Thinking
Wealthy families pay great attention to the continuity of their bloodline. Her son with Fang Lutong, being raised by Mi Junyuan, would be nothing more than a servile worker for the Mi family his entire life, not entitled to any inheritance.
Being with Fang Lutong, at least he could claim a part of the Fang family’s inheritance.
When she handed her child over to Fang Haichuan, it felt as if a part of her heart was being cut out, the pain unbearable.
Yet for the sake of her child’s future, she had to endure it.
Although she had severed her relationship with Fang Haichuan at that time, she did not believe that he was to blame.
She blamed herself, thinking she shouldn’t have seduced her foster brother, tarnishing the Fang family’s reputation.
In her heart, Fang Haichuan was still a kind, loving, and trustworthy elder.
She never dreamt that her son would lead such a life in the Fang family.
Listening to what Gu Junzhu had to say, she was heartbroken, hitting herself repeatedly on the head.
Foolish as a hog, her son was treated like a piece of trash.
She was the world’s worst mother.
Mi Junyuan grasped her hand, which was hitting herself, and held onto her arms, pulling her into his embrace.
Fang Siqi burst into tear, looking at Fang Yao and repeating, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Fang Yao just looked at her coldly, not showing any emotion.
The words ‘I’m sorry’ were too cheap for him.
No matter if it was his father or his mother, right now, they both meant nothing to him.
He would never forgive anyone again.
Nor would he wait for anyone’s love.
With Mi Sheng and Qiao Zui by his side, he had enough.
With a loosening of his fingers, Gu Junzhu let a few thin papers flutter down to the ground.
Gu Junzhu looked at Yi Xinning, his smile filled with amusement. “Mrs. Fang, seeing how calm you are, you don’t believe these papers are just for your perusal, do you?”
Fang Yixian suddenly had a bad premonition, calling out anxiously, “Fifth Brother…”
“Don’t be so familiar with me, we’re hardly so intimate,” Gu Junzhu looked at Fang Yixian with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “I truly pity you, having a mother with such snake-hearted cruelty. Just look at her, does she express any remorse towards Ah Yao?”
“Why should I feel remorse?” Yi Xinning glared at Gu Junzhu, her eyes filled with venom. “I only regret I didn’t kill this bastard son back then. Instead, he brings people like you who love to meddle in other’s affairs to interfere with the Fang family.”
If she had found a way to kill Fang Yao back then, he wouldn’t have brought Gu Junzhu and the others to the Fang family.
The secret of Fang Yao’s origins would have forever remained a secret, Fang Lutong wouldn’t know about the covert past, and wouldn’t treat her as an enemy.
“No worries, even if you’re not remorseful now, it’s okay,” Gu Junzhu folded his arms and hummed a laugh. “Mrs. Fang, perhaps you don’t know that there’s a crime called ‘abuse’ in the world, do you? Unrelenting abuse, if the circumstances are severe, can lead to a prison sentence of two to seven years.”
Gu Junzhu was looking at Yi Xinning, his smile casual. “Mrs. Fang, rest assured, I will hire the best lawyer to make sure you serve the full seven years in prison. Once you’re in jail, in such a small world, with nothing to do, you will have plenty of time to repent for what you have done to Ah Yao.”
“No! Impossible!” Yi Xinning turned pale, “That’s not going to happen! I provided for that bastard for many years, what’s a few slaps? You’re just trying to scare me. I won’t go to prison, I won’t!”
