Chapter 440: Begging for Forgiveness

The morning after the wrap party, Liu Man and Miao Xiaomei both slept very late and started packing their luggage as soon as they woke up. Fortunately, their flight was at 3pm, so they still made it in time.

Alcohol helps with sleep. Liu Lan drank a little bit of alcohol last night, but because of the Sprite, she just felt a little dizzy. Miao Xiaomei drank much more than her.

Miao Xiaomei was very grateful for the care of the crew, which allowed her to reach the threshold of a professional makeup artist, so she took the bottle of wine and toasted everyone, especially director Lin Zhi, to whom she toasted three times. She was truly a heroine, and everyone looked at her with admiration.

The two of them hurriedly came to the hotel lobby with their luggage. Miao Xiaomei took the initiative to take on the check-out task and asked Liu Lan to sit on the sofa and wait.

Liu Lan was pushing her suitcase with one hand and holding Miao Xiaomei's makeup bag with the other. She was standing aside waiting for her and did not sit down.

At this moment, someone behind her suddenly said to her,

"Liu Man, can I spare you a few minutes?"

When Liu Lan turned around, she actually saw Su Xuezhen. She was really scared and took several steps back.

Su Xuezhen's appearance and temperament have changed a lot. He no longer has the aura of a superior when he was a judge. At that time, he was arrogant and confident, and he was in control of the situation. But now, he has lost a lot of weight, his hair is gray, his eyes are drooping, and his expression is listless. At first glance, he looks like an old man. Falling from a high place to the bottom of the valley, and his only son being thrown into prison, no one can accept such a big blow.

...

...

Liu Man asked him politely, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Can we sit down and talk? I'll invite you to the teahouse next door for tea."

"Sorry, I'm waiting for my friend. If you have anything to say, just tell me right here."

"Can we go to a quieter place?" Su Xuezhen asked with a pleading look in his eyes.

Liu Lan frowned. With Su Maolin's previous experience and Principal Fang's lesson in mind, she couldn't believe Su Xuezhen. "Whatever you wanted to say, hurry up. We're going to the airport soon." Her tone was a little impatient. She felt that Su Xuezhen was pretending to be pitiful.

Su Xuezhen looked at the tenants around him and felt very anxious. People on the Internet said that Liu Lan was a kind and soft-hearted person, but it seemed that she didn't buy it at all.

How could he say those words in a public place with so many people coming and going?!

But he had to say it even if he didn't want to. Today was Liu Lan's last day in the ancient capital and also his last chance. He had no time to hesitate.

I had to lower my voice and say to Liu Lan, "I would like you to sign a memorandum of understanding."

As expected,

Liu Lan had already guessed it. Wu Qu had mentioned it to her before in the capital. Su Xuezhen called him and asked him to forgive Su Maolin, but he refused mercilessly.

Su Xuezhen could only find a breakthrough from her side, after all, the victims were her and Wu Qu.

"Do you think there is anything about your son that I can forgive? He threatened me, slapped me twice, and choked me. You know these things," Liu Lan was able to calmly mention the terrible experiences she had experienced.

"I know. I've read your confession. Mao Lin broke the law, but he acted on impulse. He already knows he was wrong and he regrets it very much. I would like to ask you to give him a chance to reform," Su Xuezhen looked at Liu Lan with that pleading, pitiful look again.

Liu Lan was also convinced by him. If she hadn't remembered Su Xuezhen's arrogant look before, she might have been deceived by his pitiful look. "The opportunity to reform is determined by the court, not by me. Anyone who does something wrong should be punished. Moreover, Su Maolin almost caused Wu Qu to lose his life, and he was so cruel to attack me. I can't forgive him."

"I am over 50 years old and he is my only child. You are unwilling to forgive him. If he is sentenced to a heavy sentence, I don't know if I can live to see him released from prison."

Su Xuezhen's sad cries attracted the attention of other people in the hotel. He originally felt embarrassed, but then it suddenly occurred to him that this might be an opportunity.

Without waiting for Liu Lan to react, he suddenly knelt down in front of her.

Liu Lan was stunned.
