Seeing her daughter like this, Wen's mother kept trying to comfort her.
"Stop obsessing over this. You can't blame Jiang Ning entirely for your father's situation. If your father hadn't been having affairs, had an illegitimate child, and embezzled millions of dollars, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death."
You can't just keep blaming others for your mistakes.
"Seeing Jiang Rou's fate, I finally understand that I can't always think about revenge. In the end, it will only hurt me."
Jiang Rou stayed in the same hospital as them. It took her many days to be transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
When they went to see her, Jiang Rou's face, chest, and other areas were covered with thick ointment, and her skin had burns of varying degrees.
What's the use of all that money she earned? It's been frozen because its source is unclear.
Hongjie is paying for all the hospitalization expenses.
There was no other way; that money was originally saved for Lu Ming to get married, but we had to save his life first.
The police came several times to question her, but she still couldn't say anything, only making "ah ah" sounds, indicating severe damage to her vocal cords.
Therefore, Wen's mother hoped that Wen Manman could also cheer up and stop thinking about revenge.
"Go and turn yourself in. The consequences won't be serious. As long as you can get Jiang Ning and the others' forgiveness, you won't be convicted," Wen's mother advised again.
Wen Manman was unwilling, "Then am I just supposed to watch them take over the factory that Dad founded back then?"
Wen's mother sighed: "What else can you do? In a few days, when the police come looking for you, you still won't escape your crimes. Turning yourself in might get you some leniency. As for your father's factory, even the government can't save it, so what can you do?"
Although she was very unwilling, she couldn't fight against her mother's authority, so Wen Manman had no choice but to follow her mother's advice and turn herself in at the police station.
She also tried to ask Jiang Ning for forgiveness, but Jiang Ning resolutely refused to sign the letter of forgiveness.
The facts are clear; the judgment should be made accordingly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wen Manman will likely be sentenced to at least one year in prison, suspended for two years.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At this moment, at the auction, Xu Yan was determined to acquire Wenshi Textile Factory.
Just when she thought she could take over the textile factory with 500,000 yuan, a dark horse emerged from the middle.
She spotted Jack among the staff of another company she was competing with, Phoenix Apparel.
Phoenix Apparel ultimately acquired Wens Textile Factory for one million yuan due to foreign investment.
Xu Yan knew that Jiang Ning had done a thorough calculation and that 500,000 was the limit. If it were more, the textile factory would not become a valuable asset, so they would not consider anything more than 500,000.
Seeing the provocative look in Jack's eyes, Xu Yan felt worse than if she had swallowed a fly.
It's unbelievable that Jack dragged the company into a quagmire, and his wife not only failed to revive it but was also restricted from entering the country. How dare they make a comeback?
Jiang Ning was slightly shocked upon hearing the news, but quickly came to terms with it.
"Let them do whatever they want. Spending a million to buy a textile factory is not as good as building a new one. Those foreigners think that by spending money they can control the factory. They don't understand human nature at all."
No one would give up the meat in their hand to someone else!
When Jiang Ning got home that day, she saw everyone gathered in front of the TV, their eyes glued to the screen. Curious, she walked over.
It turned out that the video playing inside was of Jiang Rou's trial.
She had a hideous scar on her face, and if Yang Lu hadn't pointed it out, no one would have recognized her at all.
"It's a tragedy. A perfectly healthy person was burned like that. The TV even said she was a drug dealer, and that she traded more than 500 kilograms of flour, enough to warrant the death penalty."
Currently, her accomplice, Lin Tao, is still at large.
Wang Xiufen sighed.
I used to think Lin Tao was just a bit playful, but I never expected him to become a major drug lord.
However, because he had changed his identity, the person the police were hunting was named Pete.
Jiang Ning reminded everyone, "Lin Tao is very cunning now. Since he can change his identity once, he can change it again. We must be more vigilant in the future and be wary of strange men around us."
Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to her after she finished speaking was Ji Min.
Ji Min seems to be able to understand a lot of things lately. She also understood what was said earlier: be careful of bad people around you!
Jiang Ning thought of how she had risked her own life to hit Wen Manman with a brick last time, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She held Ji Min in her arms, patted her back, and whispered:
"Mom, Mom, we're all here. Don't worry, come back. No one will hurt you anymore."
Sometimes, people forget things from the past as a protective mechanism of the brain, preventing those memories from being too cruel and hurting them.
How she wished that one day, her mother could remember everything and let go of everything.
Just as the news finished airing and everyone was getting ready to go eat, Yang Lu stood up and felt a chill in her pants. When she touched them, she found they were damp.
Then, she started experiencing contractions in her stomach.
She quickly sat down, supporting herself on the sofa with one hand and the other, and called to Gao Baoliang, who was serving rice.
Gao Baoliang carried the food over and heard her say,
"My water broke."
Gao Baoliang was stunned on the spot, not knowing where to put his rice bowl, and immediately shouted to everyone:
"Lulu's water broke, what should we do?"
Even people who are usually fearless are now trembling.
Wang Xiufen quickly ran over and took the rice bowl from his hands.
"Quickly help her out!"
Then he said to Lin Chen, "Go and drive."
Lin Chen immediately went to get the car keys and drove off.
Jiang Ning went to Yang Lu's room to get her maternity bag.
Knowing her due date was approaching, she prepared her hospital bag in advance with Wang Xiufen's help.
A few minutes later, Gao Baoliang helped Yang Lu into the car, and Jiang Ning and Lin Qiao followed.
Wang Xiufen came to the car and asked Gao Baoliang if he had brought any money.
Gao Baoliang ran back to his room, took a thousand yuan or so, and put it in his pocket.
The car then sped off.
Grandpa Ji from next door came out and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Wang Xiufen smiled and said, "Lulu is going to have a baby."
I'm so excited! Our family is going to have a new member.
Jiaojiao and Tongtong were also very excited and insisted on going to the hospital to see Aunt Lulu give birth.
Wang Xiufen patted their heads.
"Don't rush, it's not too late to go see a doctor after the baby is born. It's getting late today, and the hospital can't have too many people here."
Although they were a little disappointed, they were filled with anticipation at the thought of seeing their baby soon.
After Yang Lu entered the hospital, she was taken to the delivery room.
However, her dilation was very slow; two hours had passed and she had only dilated to three fingers.
Gao Baoliang was standing outside the delivery room, unsure whether to stand or sit, he was extremely anxious.
Jiang Ning used to give birth to twins, and it only took her a little over an hour.
Why is she so slow?
