Liu's mother was quite old, and those around her felt sorry for her kowtowing like that.
Some people advised, "Oh, you should be forgiving when you can, why don't you just let it go?"
"Exactly, the old man has already apologized. Did you hurt your hand? We can't just push him to the brink, can we?"
"What's the use of just apologizing? Give us some compensation."
Liu's mother looked up: "Yes, yes, we'll give you compensation. Miss Xu, just name your name. As long as our family can afford it, we'll sell everything we own to give it to you."
Xu Wan bent down to help Liu's mother.
Thinking that things had taken a turn for the better, Liu's mother quickly looked up at Xu Wan.
The next second, Xu Wan said, "I'm not after money."
"Then, then I have no choice but to give you my old life!"
Liu's mother broke free from Xu Wan's hand and began to kowtow again, this time with even greater force, leaving a small patch of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Qiong, though unaware of what had happened, still pulled Xu Wan aside and said, "Come on, if you're in the right, go to court. If you're not, don't try to morally blackmail us. You did something wrong and you want to use moral blackmail here? Do we, as moral people, deserve to be blackmailed?"
As Su Qiong spoke, before Liu's mother could react, she pulled her out of the crowd and back to the law firm.
Back at the law firm, Su Qiong looked at Xu Wan's hand injury, asked about the situation, and ordered takeout for Xu Wan first.
After you placed the takeout order, she said, "Based on your description and your injury, even if what they did meets the sentencing standard, they might only get a suspended sentence. If you really want them to serve a longer sentence, I suggest you go to the hospital to rest right now and get a disability certificate. That way, they can at least serve three years."
Xu Wan knew about what Su Qiong was talking about.
As lawyers, they know how to get criminals punished more severely.
Xu Wan lowered her eyes and said, "Sister Su, you know my mother's situation. If my uncle goes to jail again, my grandmother might not be able to handle the shock."
"so?"
“Let’s give them a small punishment as a warning,” Xu Wan said, “I will initially show that I will not compromise and will pursue the matter to the end, so that the two of them will stay in jail for a while. Then I will see how the Liu family and my uncle react and then decide whether to give in.”
Listening to Xu Wan speak, Su Qiong smiled and said, "Your method is not bad. I was worried about you before, but it seems I was overthinking it."
When Xu Wan finished get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Tingzhou came to pick her up.
Liu's father is nowhere to be found, and Liu's mother is still standing alone at the entrance of the law firm.
As soon as Xu Wan came down, she pounced on her.
Jiang Tingzhou stepped in front of the two, asking, "Is there something you need?"
Liu's mother had never met Jiang Tingzhou before. She glanced at the black Passat the man was driving and guessed that he was Xu Wan's husband.
This man was indeed as handsome as Liu Xing had described.
The thought that Xu Wan had married such a good husband, while her own son was about to be imprisoned because of her, made Liu's mother feel very unbalanced.
She pointed at Xu Wan and blurted out, "You're Xu Wan's husband, right? Let me tell you, you've been fooled by her. She used to be my son's girlfriend. My son doted on her so much, but then he found out that she had a messy private life and had too many abortions. Now she can't even get pregnant!"
Xu Wan's eyes widened.
She really didn't expect that Liu's mother would speak so carelessly and wildly!
Holding Xu Wan's left hand, Jiang Tingzhou listened calmly to Liu's mother's statement and asked, "Is what you said true? Are you willing to take responsibility for what you said?"
Thinking that Jiang Tingzhou was wavering, Liu's mother quickly nodded.
“Okay, my car has a dashcam, it should be able to capture some footage. If you defame my wife, we will sue you.” After saying that, Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan to his side and hugged her, saying in a firm tone, “I love my wife, I trust my wife. I don’t need anyone else to tell me what kind of person she is.”
