Ever since Zizai found out he was going to be a big brother, he has called Beibei and Guoguo more than once to brag about it.
"You don't understand. You two grew up together, didn't you? Brother Beibei, you can't change Sister Guoguo's diapers, can you? Sister Guoguo can't feed you milk either!"
Beibei on the other end of the microphone said, "Anyway, Uncle and Aunt's baby is about to be born, so we can change his/her diapers and feed Grandma."
Now, Zizai had nothing to say. "That's true. Auntie's baby must be very cute too."
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao watched as Zizai nestled on the sofa, engrossed in a phone conversation, and shook their heads with a smile.
Fortunately, Zizai mentions Bai Xiaolu less and less these days. It seems that children are indeed more forgetful than adults.
Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, was extremely anxious as she watched Jiang Qi send fewer and fewer videos and her friend's phone remained switched off.
But her anxiety was futile. After all, it was her friend's own choice, and she had no right to stop or interfere, nor was she able to.
Yan Shao noticed her anxiety and offered her words of comfort.
"Don't worry, just because Bai Shao left an heir for the Zong family, the Zong family won't make things difficult for her."
Even Yan Shao couldn't fathom the infighting within the main family, let alone Zhu Qianying.
Although her friend's situation made Zhu Qianying somewhat uneasy, overall, she was happier than sad during this period.
The days flowed by peacefully and warmly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since Yan Shao's birthday.
During this period, although Zhu Qianying was forbidden from returning to work at Yanhuang, when she was at home working on her designs, Young Master Yan basically turned a blind eye and rarely interfered.
He probably understood that it would be quite painful for someone like Zhu Qianying, who was used to being busy, to live a life of idleness.
As for Zhu Qianying, although she would complain about Yan Shao's domineering and overly cautious nature, she knew very well that Yan Shao's decision not to let her return to Yanhuang was definitely for her own good.
Imagine if she returned to Yanhuang, she would definitely check on the studio's renovation progress. But the studio is currently covered in dust, noise, and the pungent smell of various chemicals, which is definitely not a place for a pregnant woman.
Moreover, since Yan Shao wouldn't let Zhu Qianying return to Yanhuang, he took on the responsibility of supervising the studio's renovation progress. He would call her back every day at irregular intervals to check on her and send her short videos or pictures of the studio's on-site work.
Therefore, although Zhu Qianying was not on site, she was very familiar with the construction situation at the studio.
Zhu Junwei's case finally went to trial. Yan Shao was afraid that Zhu Qianying would be stimulated and that it would affect her mood and the baby's health, so he told her to stay at home. He, along with Yan Bo and his wife, Ke Kai, Qin Xiu, and Luo Yifan, went to court to listen to the proceedings.
In addition to the incident involving Zizai, Yan Shao also filed several charges against Zhu Junwei, including the car accident involving Zhu Qianying and Zizai, as well as the series of false diagnoses made by Zhu Junwei by bribing Dr. Zhao with money more than five years ago. In any case, this time, he will definitely not let Zhu Junwei get away with it again.
On the way, Ke Kai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, who do you think will be from the Zhu family listening in today?"
The answer to this question is actually not difficult to find.
Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen are still recovering in the hospital, and even if they wanted to come, the doctor probably wouldn't agree.
Zhu Junzhao, the eldest son of the Zhu family, was still undergoing reform in prison at this time. He must have been overjoyed to hear that his younger brother was going to join him.
Meanwhile, Zhu Haokang, who had been abroad, had probably heard the news long ago. He hadn't returned to China for the past six months, seemingly trying to sever ties with the Zhu family.
Zhu Haoming had finally succeeded in taking the position of president of the Song Group a week ago. At this time, he was enjoying the company of his beautiful wife and children and had great power. He had no time or interest to listen to others.
As for the daughters of the Zhu family, they were all people who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. At this time, they were only worried about how to maintain their glamorous lives in the future. They didn't care about Zhu Junwei's life or death.
"Who cares!"
Yan Shao didn't care much about these things; he only cared about how many years Zhu Junwei would be sentenced to.
"The Zhu family will probably attend, after all, they love Zhu Junwei so much."
Qin Xiu's guess was soon confirmed.
When Yan Shao and his group of six entered the courtroom, they could see from afar that the old master of the Zhu family and his sons were already sitting at the front of the audience.
Yan Shao and the others pretended not to see them and sat down in the middle of the second row.
The old man of the Zhu family is over eighty years old. He doesn't have much business contact with Yan Han, but he used to have a lot of contact with Yan Bo.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the Zhu family men all turned around. The faces of the younger ones immediately darkened, but the old man of the Zhu family stared at Yan Bo for a while before standing up with great difficulty and bowing slightly to him.
"Old Yan, for the sake of our decades-long friendship, could you please be lenient..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Bo interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Zhu, would you let someone who has repeatedly tried to kill your grandson and daughter-in-law go?"
The old master of the Zhu family changed his expression, silently turned around, and slumped down.
After a debate between the two lawyers, and with each side submitting evidence and questioning witnesses, the first trial finally reached a verdict more than two hours later.
A serious judge sat on the bench, while his assistant read the trial documents aloud.
"The first-instance judgment found Zhu Junwei guilty of intentional homicide. Although the victims, Zhu Qianying and Yan Xu, ultimately escaped the tragedy, Zhu Junwei repeatedly committed crimes against the victims, the circumstances of which were heinous and caused extremely serious psychological harm to the victim (Yan Xu). Therefore, this court hereby sentences Zhu Junwei to life imprisonment..."
As for the driver, although he was not the mastermind, he was the perpetrator of both cases and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
This verdict means that Zhu Junwei and the driver will likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Of course, they can appeal, but as things stand, the evidence is conclusive, and even if they appeal, the original verdict will likely be upheld most of the time.
Furthermore, given the background of the Yan family, how could they possibly allow the Zhu and Zhu families to have a chance to turn the tables?
Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying, and even the Yan Bo couple were generally satisfied with the result.
In short, they will be satisfied as long as Zhu Junwei has no more opportunities to cause trouble or harm Zai Zai and the Yan family.
The Zhu family was naturally dissatisfied with the result and filed an appeal on the spot.
However, the second instance verdict upheld the original judgment!
Thus, Zhu Junwei, the scumbag who had been secretly plotting to harm Zhu Qianying and Zizai, finally got his just deserts.
