Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The verdict of the Haicheng Matricide Case was announced in September.
Guo Miao looked at Guo Lin, who was wearing a prison uniform.
After that incident, the people of Neverland Island took Qback. Q. wasn’t Chinese, so he wasn’t punishable by Chinese law.
However, when he returned to Neverland, he would face a long period of torture and imprisonment.
Jack had already regained control of Neverland and would probably completely erase the traces of this person’s existence.
Guo Lin cut her hair. Her originally beautiful and elegant hair was cut to shoulder length, and she seemed more lost. She didn’t look like the girl with a strong artistic aura that Guo Miao had seen two years ago. She looked more like a dispirited old woman.
Guo Miao sat in the plaintiff’s seat, and the two of them looked at each other across the sea of people.
Guo Miao recalled the time when she was being tried. The girl’s mother had sat in the plaintiff’s seat. She had cried and accused Guo Miao of killing her daughter.
Guo Miao thought about it now and felt that it was ridiculous.
At that time, Guo Lin’s expression was anxious. She was wearing an exquisite suit and sitting in the jury’s seat. She looked down at Guo Miao like a little princess.
She still remembered the despair in her heart at that moment.
Now, it was finally Guo Lin’s turn.
“According to Chinese law, Guo Lin is hereby sentenced to death.” Following the judge’s final word, everyone looked at Guo Lin, who was sitting in the defendant’s seat.
Guo Lin didn’t cry. She just smiled coldly. She would not regret it. She would not regret what she had done.
Until the moment she was dragged out, she still glared at Guo Miao with hatred.
She seemed to be mouthing to Guo Miao, “1 won’t let you off even if I become a ghost.”
Guo Miao didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, so such threats were useless to her.
Walking out of the court, Tong Pei was already waiting at the door.
“How did it go?” Tong Pei asked.
“It’s alright.” Guo Miao shrugged. Everything was settled, and she didn’t feel anything.
The love and hate that had existed for so many years had vanished into thin air the moment the judge made the final decision.
“Thank you,” Guo Miao said.
If it wasn’t for Tong Pei, she might have been buried in her own home.
“I know. Don’t be afraid.” Tong Pei stretched out his hand and placed it on Guo Miao’s hand, gently comforting her.
“I’ll send you back to school now,” Tong Pei said.
During this period, Guo Miao had not been idle either. First, she released Star Empire and then took care of the group of people from the LS Group. Tong Pei also dealt with the Second and Third Masters’ families.
Guo Miao had already entered Beijing University and became a real university student.
Although her lessons were not difficult, Guo Miao still insisted on doing some scientific research projects.
Guo Fu also moved to Beijing this month and opened the Top Scholar’s Restaurant in Beijing.
Everything was on the right track.
At first, Guo Miao often met fans who came to ask for autographs in school, but as time passed, everyone knew that she was not someone who liked to receive attention, so they gradually faded away.
Guo Miao was now living the peaceful and happy life that she had been longing for.
She would study during the week and go shopping with Tong Pei during the weekends.
There was no longer that tense feeling from before.
The car stopped at the entrance of Beijing University. Tong Pei took a bouquet of flowers from the back seat. There was also a box inside.
Guo Miao was confused.
Although Tong Pei often gave her gifts, this was not a special occasion.
“Open it and take a look,” Tong Pei said.
Guo Miao opened the box. Inside were a bunch of keys and a ring.
“I don’t know if you still remember the day you saved Tong Yao and Zhong Nian in an alley in Haicheng,” Tong Pei said.
Guo Miao opened her mouth in shock. Of course, she remembered.
“That was the first time I met you. Today is the second anniversary of my meeting you,” Tong Pei said.
Guo Miao nodded. She had never thought that their relationship would have started so early.
“Thank you,” Guo Miao said. “Thank you for coming into my life and giving me a big surprise from the beginning.”
“I know it’s still too early to give this to you, but it’s okay. You can consider it,” Tong Pei passed the box to Guo Miao and said softly.
Guo Miao nodded. She already had an answer in her heart.
From before her rebirth until now, he had always been in her heart.
September was the season when the locust flowers bloomed in the capital. The wind blew slowly, blowing the locust flowers all over the ground.
They would all have a better future
