He was sitting in the very last row, where a sea of heads stretched out before him.
At that moment, he couldn’t calm down anyway, so he hadn’t really paid much attention to what was happening in the trial.
"Ahem, Jing, don’t misunderstand, Aye had no idea we were coming. It was only after getting off the plane that we called him."
As a mother, of course she had to explain for her son.
Otherwise, what if her daughter-in-law was unhappy?
Lu Jing didn’t particularly mind this detail; after all, he had indeed mentioned on the phone last night that he might not make it in time.
"Did anyone else come?"
Thinking that Jiang Qiu had also come, Lu Jing felt a bit displeased.
"Yes, your Uncle Jiang, and Jiang Yuan, just the three of us. Jiang Huai is at the company and couldn’t get away."
At the end, Jiang’s mother had not even mentioned Jiang Qiu’s name.
Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jing, you... you’ve suffered. It’s our family’s Aye who has wronged you. Rest assured, once we get out, I’ll give him a good beating!"
Lu Jing cleared his throat:
"Aunt Su, maybe let’s not."
They weren’t children, after all.
Upon hearing that Lu Jing was still somewhat protective of her son, Jiang’s mother couldn’t have been happier:
"No way, he deserves to be punished for his wrongdoing, and this beating is unavoidable!"
And more than just one, at that!
After all, the Lu Family was still in the dark about the situation.
However, Jiang’s mother had no intention of stopping it. Only if others calmed down, could her son bring his wife home!
Jiang’s mother knew well what mattered more.
After all, a beating wouldn’t kill anyone; it was just a flesh wound. What could a grown man not withstand?
Lu Jing found it hard to say more and felt extremely awkward, supremely awkward.
He felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also came to the back:
"Hehehe, you still remember me, Sister Lu? It’s been so many years since we’ve seen each other."
Indeed, it had been six and a half years to be precise.
Jiang Yuan was only 15 six years ago, just a little girl.
Now, six years later, she had grown into a young woman.
"Sister Lu, should I start calling you sister-in-law in the future?"
Lu Jing was quite unsettled:
Neither agreeing nor denying.
His answer was non-committal.
But it also implied tacit approval.
Jiang’s mother, listening from the side, was very satisfied. Her son had said that he hadn’t yet won forgiveness, but now it seemed that the two of them were reconciled.
In that case, she would likely be holding her grandchild soon, right?
Excellent, very good!
Lu Jing was sitting with Jiang’s mother on his left and Jiang Yuan on his right. He hadn’t understood a single word of the entire trial.
Until two hours later, when the trial ended and everyone stood up, Lu Jing followed suit and rose to his feet.
He heard the presiding judge declare:
"In light of the aforementioned, Gu Xiyue is sentenced to thirty-five years of fixed-term imprisonment!"
Though the final verdict was imprisonment with a term, thirty-five years was no mere three to five years.
Gu Xiyue was 30 this year; by the time she got out, she would be 65.
She would be spending nearly the latter half of her life inside.
Lu Jing held no unresolved feelings about this.
Jiang Yuan suddenly burst out beside him:
I really hate Gu Xiyue!
That woman, always so two-faced, has been so annoying since we were kids."
Clearly, Jiang Yuan must have been tricked by Gu Xiyue before.
But back then, she was too young for anyone in the family to care. Fınd the newest release on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Now, it seemed like a great revenge had been fulfilled.
