Xu Wan had mentally prepared countless times for this call at the law firm, considering all possible scenarios and devising various solutions.
But when it came to actually making the call, she was still very nervous, and hesitated to press the dial button even after finding the number.
Jiang Tingzhou noticed the woman's nervousness, so he simply parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road, took the woman's hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm with you. If anything really happens, I'll drive you there right away."
Xu Wan finally pressed the dial button.
"Wanwan, is something the matter?" Liu Yingjun's voice came from behind.
"Grandma, I have something I want to tell you," Xu Wan prompted. "This might be hard for you to accept, but I had no choice but to make this decision. Please listen to me patiently and don't get too emotional. If you think I did something wrong, we can discuss it."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Something happened last week..."
Xu Wanxian told Liu Yingjun what had happened last week. She did not embellish the story, but simply relayed the facts.
"He, he... how could Jiashan do something so foolish! And Liu Xing, I thought he was a good kid before, I never expected him to be like this!" Liu Yingjun's voice trembled slightly, "Wanwan, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
“No, it was Jiang Tingzhou who saved me,” Xu Wan replied.
"That's good, that's good," Liu Yingjun said.
“Grandma, although I called the police, I didn’t originally intend for Uncle to go to jail. My mother is in jail, and if Uncle went to jail too, the neighbors would definitely talk about you. But…” Xu Wan recalled what happened during the day, “When I went to see Uncle today, he had already guessed that I would worry about you, and he definitely wouldn’t let him go to jail. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong at all, he…”
"Then let him go to jail. He should pay the price for his actions."
Although Liu Yingjun's voice was not loud, it was very firm.
Xu Wan was somewhat stunned.
She thought her grandmother would side with her uncle, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this!
“But, he might get sentenced to about three years, and the neighbors will definitely talk about you…” Xu Wan cautiously reminded him.
"Why should we care what others think? He did something like that, what else is he supposed to do but go to jail?"
Liu Yingjun continued, "Wanwan, don't worry too much about me. Grandma is just old, not confused. I can still tell right from wrong. Just like when your mother went to jail, she did nothing wrong. Your father was the one who was wrong. She did it to protect you and herself. She did nothing wrong."
"grandmother……"
Xu Wan's eyes welled up with tears.
She really didn't expect that none of the many possibilities she had considered during the day would actually come to pass.
"Wanwan, Grandma supports your decision, so just go ahead and do it. I'm fine here. You can focus on your work and let me know when you need me to come back."
Liu Yingjun's voice is gentle yet powerful.
"Thank you, Grandma," Xu Wan said repeatedly.
Even without hearing what Liu Yingjun said, Jiang Tingzhou had already guessed it from Xu Wan's attitude.
"It seems things are going smoothly," Jiang Tingzhou said with a smile. "Your hand needs a new dressing today, right? I'll go with you, and then we can have dinner together. I have to go on a business trip tonight, so take care of yourself at home."
Xu Wan: "Okay, I'm not a child. What's unsafe about me being at home by myself?"
Jiang Tingzhou laughed and said, "You are eight years younger than me, so in my eyes you are just a kid."
The car was on its way to St. He Hospital.
Jiang Tingzhou asked, "Who do you plan to hire as your representative for this lawsuit? If there is no suitable candidate, I can be your authorized representative."
