Chapter 925 Kneeling
Old Master Wen felt somewhat guilty after being targeted by her sharp words: "Yes, this whole thing is my fault. I didn't do my research beforehand, which led to this irreparable situation..."
"But Miss Lu, my daughter already knows she was wrong, and she's in the prime of her youth. Could you please be magnanimous and forgive her this time? I promise she will never do it again!"
If he doesn't help his daughter this time, she could face life imprisonment!
This incident is unlike any of the previous farces; this time it involves facing the law head-on and incurring enormous legal responsibility!
If he can't persuade Lu Nanchu to drop the charges, then Qingyi might end up in jail for the rest of her life!
A lifetime!
How long has it been?
"Guarantee? What guarantee do you have?" Lu Nanchu didn't believe him at all: "Grandpa Wen, I believe you know everything Miss Wen did to me or my cousin's wife."
"Since you know everything, it means you tacitly approve of this matter. Since you tacitly approve, you have to accept the consequences. What is there to forgive?"
She couldn't find any reason to forgive Wen Qingyi.
Wen Qingyi not only ruined her relationship with Xu Chen, but also her cousin and his wife's relationship. She would stop at nothing to achieve her own interests!
What is there to forgive in a woman who is so ruthless in relationships?
Grandpa Wen was truly filled with regret: "Miss Lu, I really know I was wrong. It was my fault for not keeping a close eye on my daughter, which led to her being so reckless! This is my responsibility, but could you please forgive her this time for my sake?"
"If Qingyi really goes to jail this time, she could very well face life imprisonment!"
"Isn't this punishment a bit too cruel for a young girl in the prime of her life?"
If he had known earlier that Wen Qingyi would cause such a big disaster, he wouldn't have listened to Bo Jinyan's advice and let her come to New York.
Now that he's pleading with Lu Nanchu, she might not even be willing to drop the charges.
"You call me cruel?" Lu Nanchu couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Old Master Wen, if we're talking about cruelty, who can compare to your daughter who destroyed my marriage? When you were pleading for her here, did you ever think about my feelings as the victim?!"
"Not to mention that your daughter has wronged my cousin-in-law; she tries to win the hearts of three men!"
Don't you think she's too greedy?
Old Master Wen knew he was in the wrong: "Yes, I really can't refute your accusations, but no one is perfect, and who can guarantee that they won't make mistakes?"
"Miss Lu, as long as you are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, I will pay the 530 million yuan in compensation. What do you think?"
The only solution he could think of was to use money.
He was afraid that Lu Nanchu would disagree.
Lu Nanchu retorted with a cold laugh, "Do you think I'm someone who's short of 530 million?"
“Let me put it this way: ever since I started suing her, I have no intention of letting her out, because the crimes your daughter committed are too deep and too serious, and are simply unforgivable.”
"She got to where she is today entirely because of her own actions; she deserves what she got!"
Even if he said a lot of good things about Wen Qingyi here, it would be of no use.
Even if she agrees, Bo Jinyan will not agree to withdraw the lawsuit.
Because Wen Qingyi has hurt too many people, it is far from enough for Old Master Wen to plead with just one person.
Seeing that she was unwilling to help, Old Master Wen bent his knees and knelt straight in front of Lu Nanchu.
"Miss Lu, I'm begging you, I only have one daughter. If she's sentenced to life imprisonment, who will I be able to rely on in my old age?"
"Please, have mercy on me and let Qingyi off this time, for the sake of this old man!"
He originally wanted to solve the problem with money, but Lu Nanchu was not short of money at all, so this was the only way he could win her over.
He refused to believe that Lu Nanchu, as a junior, would remain completely unmoved after he, as an elder, had already knelt down before her.
If it were the old Lu Nanchu, she might have been moved.
But for Lu Nanchu, who has been through so much, his pleading was of no use whatsoever.
Lu Nanchu glanced at him indifferently and said condescendingly, "Grandpa Wen, Wen Qingyi has wronged more than just me. Even if I completely agree, the other two people she hurt will absolutely not agree."
"In short, no matter what the method or who begs me, Wen Qingyi is definitely going to jail this time! Just give up on that idea!"
Trying to play the sympathy card?
If kneeling could erase the harm Wen Qingyi had done to her and her cousin-in-law in the past, then his knees would be far too valuable.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen keenly grasped the key point in her words and narrowed his eyes: "Miss Lu, what do you mean by that? Does Qingyi mean that she has hurt anyone else besides you?"
And there were two of them?
Just how many sins has Wen Qingyi committed outside?
No matter how hard he tries, he'll never be able to pay it back!
"You'd better ask your daughter about this," Lu Nanchu said, not intending to tell him the truth. "I'm sorry, I have no comment."
She had no interest in using other people's wounds as bargaining chips.
That's something only a petty person would do.
Lu Nanchu was clearly unwilling to talk, so Old Master Wen had no choice but to get up from the ground himself: "Alright, since Miss Lu is unwilling to talk, then I won't force her."
"There's still one thing I don't understand. If you really hate my daughter that much, then just lock her up. Why bother demanding so much compensation?"
If Wen Qingyi really offended someone even he couldn't afford to offend, then no matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be enough to compensate her.
Qingyi has really messed up this time.
Even he couldn't protect her.
"If we just lock her up, wouldn't she be entitled to compensation for the emotional distress she caused to others?"
Lu Nanchu sneered inwardly: "Old Master Wen, instead of wasting your time here with me, you might as well go back and see your daughter and see who she has offended."
"It's no use for you to just beg me here."
Because, although Lu Nanchu is the plaintiff, the person who really wants to sue Wen Qingyi is not her.
It was her cousin-in-law, Sang Ruo.
My cousin cares so much about his wife, how could he possibly stand by and watch Wen Qingyi get away with it?
Grandpa Wen sensed her implication, but still lowered his eyes to express his gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Lu. I will go back and ask her as you requested."
"But if I may ask, has Qingyi really offended someone that even I can't afford to offend?"
