Chapter 929 Life Imprisonment
He would never believe her again.
He could let it go after being lied to by her so many times before, but this time she crossed his line, and he could never forgive her again.
Sensing his resolute attitude, Wen Qingyi was genuinely afraid: "Ah Lian, you must believe me this time. I'm truly innocent. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Chen! He knows everything!"
"How stupid do you think I am? To ignore Miss Lu, a witness, and instead believe a lover?"
Gong Lian didn't believe her words at all: "Wen Qingyi, I will never believe a word you say again."
This woman is vain and greedy; what she wants is the hearts of all men!
She would never settle down for him!
Why should he still believe her?
Wen Qingyi seemed to want to say something, but Lu Nanchu interrupted her, saying, "Wen Qingyi, don't bother explaining here. When I caught you and Xu Chen in bed together at the hotel, you didn't deny it once."
"Now that Mr. Gong has arrived, you want to explain yourself? Do you think your words have any credibility whatsoever?"
If she was truly innocent, she should have explained herself that night.
She didn't say a word, which means she acquiesced.
Since the default option is chosen, what's there to explain?
"Lu Nanchu, are you only satisfied when you've pushed me into the abyss?!"
Wen Qingyi realized her purpose and was so angry that she wanted to kill her: "What deep hatred do I have for you? Why do you have to treat me like this?"
She had only been flirting with Xu Chen for a short time, and this woman got rid of her child!
Now that she has finally arrived in New York, she has filed a lawsuit against her directly in court!
How can this woman be so terrifying? Why do I always have to pick a fight with her?
Could it be...?
She, Sang Ruo, and Bo Jinyan were all in cahoots, weren't they?
No, Brother Ayan wouldn't do that to her. Her only crime is bigamy, isn't it?
He'll only be sentenced to a few years at most before being released.
Upon realizing this, Wen Qingyi's doubts vanished considerably.
"You know what you're doing." Lu Nanchu was clearly unwilling to say more. "Alright, the trial starts in a few minutes. Get ready to face the judge's judgment."
After Lu Nanchu finished speaking, he suddenly turned to Gong Lian and said, "Mr. Gong, why don't you come to the courtroom too? After all, it's not easy for you to travel all the way to Manhattan."
"good."
As he spoke, Gong Lian followed closely behind Lu Nanchu and sat down in the courtroom, waiting for the trial to begin.
A few minutes later, with the judge, the plaintiff and defendant, and their lawyers taking their seats, the Wen Qingyi case officially began.
"Ms. Wen Qingyi, what do you have to say about the plaintiff's accusations of infidelity and alleged misappropriation of marital property?"
Wen Qingyi didn't feel that she had encroached on their marital property in any way, and explained, "I was just staying there temporarily, and I didn't have any transactions with Mr. Xu Chen."
"Do you have any evidence of staying here?" The judge always only looks at evidence: "If so, please show it."
This question left Wen Qingyi speechless: "No."
Seeing that she had no evidence, the judge scribbled his pen across the paper and then asked, "Do you have any objection to Miss Sang Ruo's accusation that you were suspected of murdering her in the capital?"
Sang Ruo?
What does this have to do with Guan Sangri?
Isn't her only charge bigamy? Is there also murder?
"No, I wasn't there. Sang Ruo is framing me!"
Wen Qingyi finally understood that Lu Nanchu and Sang Ruo were in cahoots: "Your Honor, Lu Nanchu and Sang Ruo are in cahoots! You absolutely cannot believe them! This is a false accusation! They are deliberately framing me!"
"Your Honor, I have surveillance footage of the defendant framing Ms. Sang. Please verify it." The lawyer, representing Lu Nanchu, stepped forward to speak.
It wasn't until the surveillance video was played on the projector that Wen Qingyi finally realized that she was truly finished.
It turns out that all of this was planned by Sang Ruo and Lu Nanchu!
Although Lu Nanchu was the one who sued her, the person who single-handedly pushed things to this point was definitely Sang Ruo!
"This evidence is acceptable to this judge and can be considered evidence." The judge's gaze suddenly fell on Wen Qingyi: "Defendant, what else do you have to say?"
Wen Qingyi was almost completely despondent: "I have nothing to say."
With such conclusive evidence, what else can she say?
If she were to speak directly, it might worsen her charges, and her punishment would only be more severe than it is now.
Saying nothing might at least get the judge to give a lighter sentence.
"This court hereby pronounces the following judgment in the case concerning Ms. Wen Qingyi's crimes of intentional homicide, intentional injury, bigamy, and infringement of the plaintiff's marital property."
"Miss Wen Qingyi is guilty of murder, intentional injury, and bigamy. She is sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of commutation or parole."
When Wen Qingyi heard that she had been sentenced to life imprisonment, she almost went crazy: "I don't want to! I don't want to spend my whole life in prison!"
"Ah Lian, please save me..." Wen Qingyi pleaded with Gong Lian repeatedly, "I really know I was wrong, I beg you, please save me, I don't want to spend my whole life in prison..."
She would rather die than spend her whole life in that godforsaken place!
But Gong Lian remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Sorry, I don't want to save you."
As the truth was revealed, he realized that Wen Qingyi had hurt Sang Ruo so deeply!
Including the car accident that almost made her not wake up, was it also her doing?
He always thought that it was Chen Wanru and Chen Wei who did it, and that it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, he was wrong.
"Why?" Wen Qingyi couldn't believe he would treat her like this. "Gong Lian, am I not your favorite? Why would you rather watch me go to prison than save me?"
She knew she had hurt him deeply in the past, but that was because she loved Ayan too much.
She just loved the wrong person, why did she have to end up like this?
She was unwilling to accept it!
Gong Lian said in a calm tone: "You are no longer the love of my life. My feelings for you ended the moment you ruined our engagement ceremony."
"I have no feelings for you anymore. The only reason I agreed to be with you was because of Sang Ruo's request."
"If it weren't for Sang Ruo's repeated requests, do you think I would have brought you back to my side?"
He didn't want to say it.
But he was afraid that if he didn't speak up, this woman would keep indulging in her fantasies indefinitely.
Rather than letting her live in self-deception, it's better to reveal the truth completely and let her face the real reality.
This can be considered the last gift given to her before she went to prison.
