Chapter 145: Aged Ten Years in an Instant



It was obvious that Xu Wan knew nothing about this.

Su Qiong shook her head and sighed. Jiang Tingzhou was a man who hid himself too well. He not only hid his identity as the president of Tianwei Group, but also his identity as Jiang Xuanzhou.

She couldn't even imagine whether Xu Wan would faint from anger if she found out the truth one day.

Ahead, Jiang Tingzhou gently kissed Xu Wan's forehead, "I'm going to sign something, wait for me outside."

"good."

Xu Wan nodded.

She won the case, but the verdict was heavier than she had imagined. However, she did not feel relieved at all; instead, she felt even more heavy-hearted.

Because she still had to tell her grandmother the verdict.

My mother was sentenced to thirteen years. If my uncle is sentenced to another three years, even if my grandmother is fully prepared, this will still be a significant blow to her.

"Xu Wan".

Su Qiong stood by the fence and waited for Xu Wan to come over. She opened her arms and hugged her. "I know you have concerns, but the most important thing we lawyers should understand is that if you break the law, you have to pay the price. It's the same for everyone."

"yes……"

Xu Wan held Su Qiong in her arms, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

She wasn't feeling sorry for Xu Jiashan; she was angry.

I'm so angry! Why did Xu Jiashan do such a thing?

Su Qiong straightened up, rubbed Xu Wan's face, and tentatively said, "By the way, I really didn't expect your husband to be so good at lawsuits. Luckily, he works in non-litigation matters, otherwise we would be in trouble."

"Actually... I didn't expect him to be so amazing."

Xu Wan had indeed relied on her positive perception of Jiang Tingzhou, believing that a man could definitely handle the case.

But after the entire lawsuit today, she realized that Jiang Tingzhou's abilities far exceeded her expectations.

Su Qiong was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would let something slip, so she simply said, "I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything. If you need to take leave, just ask for leave. Xiao Pei is quick to learn, and he can already complete a lot of the work."

Pei Zhao was also assigned to be led by Su Qiong.

Some simple tasks were assigned to him.

Seeing that Jiang Tingzhou was still busy, Xu Wan walked out of the courtroom alone.

As soon as she reached the door, a woman rushed over and grabbed her leg, saying, "Miss Xu, we're so sorry, so sorry. We're willing to accept the punishment and won't appeal. Please forgive us."

Xu Wan was startled.

She looked down and carefully examined the woman who had rushed towards her, only to discover that it was Liu Xing's mother.

However, after not seeing each other for more than a month, Liu's mother seemed like a different person. She had lost a lot of weight, had many more wrinkles on her face, and her hair had turned gray.

It's like I've aged ten years in an instant.

Liu's mother knelt in front of Xu Wan and said, "Now my son and husband are both in jail, but we admit it. We know we were wrong. No matter what, my son was a scoundrel and deserved to go to jail. Please forgive us. We are just ordinary people and can't compare to you."

Xu Wan was somewhat confused by what Liu's mother said.

Wasn't it Liu Xing who made the mistake?

How come his father is also in jail?

Seeing Liu's mother admit her mistake, Xu Wan was about to bend down to help her up when someone grabbed her right hand and pulled her to their side.

"Is there something you need?"

The visitor was Jiang Tingzhou.

Liu's mother looked up at Jiang Tingzhou, who was holding Xu Wan, her face filled with fear, and even her hands were trembling. "It's okay, I, I just came to apologize to Xu Wan. My son is a scoundrel, we accept the court's judgment, he deserves to go to jail, he deserves to pay the price for his actions. After he and my husband are released from prison, we will move away from Beicheng and never come back. Don't worry, we will never appear in front of you again!"

Jiang Tingzhou said coldly, "I know, don't block the way."

"Yes, yes!"

Liu's mother quickly stood up, turned around and left.

Xu Wan had no idea what Liu's mother had recently gone through.

But she could tell that Jiang Tingzhou's voice when he spoke to Liu's mother was terrifyingly cold, an emotion she had never heard before.

Watching Liu's mother leave, Xu Wan finally voiced her doubts: "How come her husband is also in jail?"
