【Strong Female Lead + Everyone's Regret + Second Male Lead Rises + Both Pure + Childhood Friends】
My fiancée's white moonlight contracted a terminal illness. She made a request: ...
I don't answer hypothetical questions; it's pointless.
Besides, even without Su Shenglin, there would be absolutely no possibility between us.
The lawyer pushed me out of the courtroom, and Xiao Yingtao and Li Yunwei both came to greet me.
"Congratulations! You've finally gotten rid of him completely!" The two of them, having already learned of the verdict, immediately congratulated me happily.
I smiled faintly, "Let's go, let's have lunch together to celebrate."
"Absolutely! Let's go to the Imperial Garden. I've already arranged everything," Li Yunwei said excitedly.
I invited the lawyer to come along, but he said he was busy with many things and declined, taking his leave first.
The three of us were behind, and as we descended the steps of the courthouse, a commotion arose in our direction.
Upon closer inspection, I frowned.
Li Qinglan was accompanied by Gu's relatives, who waited for her outside the courthouse for an unknown amount of time before she came out.
"Jiang Wan! Jiang Wan is over there!" Li Qinglan rushed up to me as soon as she saw me.
Li Yunwei made a quick decision, "Cherry, you stop them, I'll push Jiang Wan to go first."
I was both amused and exasperated. "Oh well, there's no escaping it."
Li Yunwei didn't believe it, so she used all her strength to push me around them and ran away, trying to leave through another door.
However, Little Cherry was no match for the Gu family, all alone.
They quickly caught up and surrounded me.
"Jiang Wan, you're divorced now and free, so why won't you let Tian Tian go?! For so many years, she's treated you like a sister-in-law and considered you family. How can you be so heartless and cruel as to send her to jail?"
Li Qinglan blocked my way, her aggressive demeanor making her unreasonable and domineering statements sound perfectly justified.
Li Yun, slightly out of breath, immediately retorted, "Family? Does that mean you all give each other aphrodisiacs? You really have a fun hobby!"
puff--
I almost burst out laughing, and couldn't help but turn around and give my best friend a thumbs up.
According to Li Qinglan's logic, Gu Yutian treated me like family and even drugged me with that kind of drug. I really can't accept being treated like family.
Li Qinglan was stunned by the retort, then her face turned pale and then red: "What's it to you? I'm looking for Jiang Wan!"
At this point, Li Qinglan seemed to suddenly open her eyes and looked at me, asking, "What happened to your leg? Why are you in a wheelchair?"
“Is that even a question? He must have been too wicked and got his comeuppance!” other relatives of the Gu family immediately chimed in.
I was too lazy to explain, so I just looked at Li Qinglan and said, "My divorce from your son and your daughter poisoning me are two different things. I had considered mixing them up and letting you go, but your son insisted on putting righteousness before family."
"Yan Qing is doing that because he can't let you go!"
"No need, I don't need it."
"Heh, I heard you've already slept with Su Shenglin, of course you look down on Yan Qing. It's just that Yan Qing is unlucky, he wasted six years of his heart on her..."
Before Li Qinglan could finish speaking, a clear and authoritative voice came from outside the crowd: "Madam Gu, you must speak with evidence. When did Jiang Wan climb into my bed? Please explain clearly."
Everyone was startled, and I was also taken aback. We all looked up at the same time.
Su Shenglin is here!
I frowned slightly, feeling disapproving of his public appearance.
He shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
Li Yunwei was incredibly excited. She quickly patted my shoulder and whispered, "This is going to be good!"
The Gu family members immediately turned around and, seeing his tall and imposing figure striding towards them, instinctively took two steps back.
There's no way around it; Su Shenglin simply possesses such a powerful and intimidating aura.
He approached with steady steps, stood still, his handsome and rugged features expressionless. Although his expression revealed no joy or anger, his restrained and profound demeanor was enough to inspire awe.
“Madam Gu, you haven’t answered my question yet.” He looked at Li Qinglan and spoke again.
Li Qinglan's lips trembled for a moment before she forced a smile and began to try to build rapport: "Little Su, last time it was your mother's birthday, our Gu family went to congratulate her. I had a very good chat with your mother; she's always been hoping you'll get married soon..."
"It seems that Madam Gu has been in a terrible state of mind these days. How come I remember that you two made quite a fool of yourselves last time? When did you get along so well with my mother?"
Su Shenglin showed no mercy and exposed him in public.
Upon hearing this, Gu's relatives were immediately surprised, and the way they looked at Li Qinglan changed.
"Disgraceful? Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? When you came back last time, you were bragging, saying that Madam Su really liked Tian Tian and was even thinking about..."
"Oh dear, you misunderstood. I meant that the other elders in the Su family like Tian Tian, not that I said it was Mrs. Su!"
Li Qinglan quickly denied it, glancing guiltily at Su Shenglin several times.
I watched quietly from the sidelines, finding it utterly ridiculous.
It seems that Li Qinglan went to great lengths to bring Gu Yutian to Madam Su's birthday banquet so that her daughter could show off in front of Su Shenglin and hopefully gain the Su family's favor.
Unexpectedly, I went there that night too.
In the end, we parted on bad terms, which also ruined Gu Yutian's image.
Thinking about this, I suddenly understood why Gu Yutian had drugged and framed me.
Besides wanting to help her brother get me, and ideally get me pregnant so she can't get a divorce, she must also be trying to get revenge on me for embarrassing her that time, right?
Maybe she's still fantasizing that if she traps me in the Gu family and I can't get away, I won't be able to be with Su Shenglin, and then she'll have hope?
I couldn't help but laugh, and looked up at Li Qinglan, exposing her words: "I think you've taken a fancy to Second Master Su and are trying your best to send your daughter into his arms."
Su Shenglin frowned and turned to look at me.
