Seeing his mother's slightly tired expression, Tang Liang felt even angrier.
It's all Zhang Lan's fault!
"Mom, stop talking. I know you mean well, but Xiaoyu is really innocent in this. Where are Xiaoyu and the others now?"
"Xiaoyu's dad sent someone to take Xiaoyu to the hospital, but I don't know exactly what they're going to do. I guess they haven't come back yet."
Tang Liang was eager to comfort Li Xiaoyu; she must be feeling terrible after what had happened.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. Mom and Dad, don't worry, this is just that ex-convict's mother deliberately causing trouble!"
Before leaving, Tang Liang made sure to offer his parents a word of comfort.
Tang Liang then rushed to the city hospital. When he arrived at the hospital entrance, he saw Li Xiaoyu being escorted out of the hospital by Lu Ping, Li Chunya, and Ji Xiaocui.
"Xiaoyu, how are you?"
Tang Liang immediately ran over to check on Li Xiaoyu. Upon seeing Tang Liang again, Li Xiaoyu felt very uncomfortable!
"Why did you come here? Your mother has already told you what happened, right? Liu Zhigang's mother is causing trouble again. Are we going to cancel our wedding?"
To be honest, Li Xiaoyu was exhausted. She didn't even care whether the marriage could go on or not.
Tang Liang felt sorry for Li Xiaoyu when he saw her eyes were red and swollen.
"It's okay, I've already told my mom. It was Zhang Lan who deliberately smeared you. Once we deal with Zhang Lan, we'll still get married!"
Li Xiaoyu pursed her lips, feeling down and having nothing to say.
At this moment, she hated Ma Yulian to death. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have had so many hardships and setbacks!
"Let's go back to the hotel first. I think Xiaoyu is tired and needs to rest."
Lu Ping led Li Xiaoyu, Tang Liang, and the others back to the hotel.
Li Junsheng contacted a doctor to help him write the complaint before returning to the hotel to retrieve the evidence.
When Li Junsheng returned to the hotel, Li Guohua paced back and forth angrily, and Qin Yong's expression was also not good!
Their own sister and sister-in-law have been bullied so badly, no wonder these two look so happy.
Upon seeing Li Junsheng return, Li Guohua immediately went to greet him.
"Dad, you're finally back! How's it going on your end? What did the lawyer say? What are our chances of succeeding in suing Zhang Lan?"
Hearing his son's words, Li Junsheng snorted coldly!
"What are the chances of success? With irrefutable evidence, the success rate is 100%. If Zhang Lan doesn't get three years in prison this time, I'm not Li."
At this moment, Lu Ping handed a medical report to Li Junsheng.
"Brother Li, the evidence is here. You can just hand it over to your lawyer!"
Li Junsheng nodded and hurriedly took the evidence.
Seeing Tang Liang standing to one side, Li Junsheng asked Tang Liang in a deep voice, "Tang Liang, your parents must have talked to you about Zhang Lan, right? What did they say?"
"I've already made things clear to my mother. It was Zhang Lan who deliberately smeared Xiaoyu. Once this matter is over, the wedding will continue."
"Don't worry, I will make my own decisions about my marriage. I've decided to marry Xiaoyu, and no one can change my mind!"
Li Junsheng nodded, believing that Tang Liang could keep his word.
Tang Liang was indeed filial, but in his heart, his own daughter probably outweighed everything else he cared about.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have resolutely committed suicide with Xiaoyu in his previous life!
"Okay, with this examination report, it's enough to convict Zhang Lan of defamation for maliciously spreading rumors and damaging the reputation of others. You all stay at the restaurant for now, and I'll take this examination report to the lawyer."
The children nodded, and Li Junsheng personally handed the evidence to the lawyer. The next step, the filing of the case, would take Li Junsheng at least two days!
After returning from the lawyer's place, Li Junsheng noticed that his youngest daughter was sullen.
As an unmarried young woman, she must have felt terrible after what happened to her. Li Junsheng, being a father, didn't know how to comfort Li Xiaoyu.
Therefore, Li Junsheng could only ask Lu Ping to help him talk to Li Xiaoyu.
Tang Liang also came to find Li Junsheng. The father-in-law and son-in-law sat down, opened a bottle of wine, and prepared to have a couple of drinks.
Zhang Lan's affair has also put Tang Liang in a bad mood!
"Dad, something's not right. We just bought this house. Who told Zhang Lan where our new home is? It's obvious they don't want Xiaoyu and me to have a good time. We have to investigate!"
Li Junsheng nodded. "We can only let Zhang Lan tell us herself. Don't worry, she'll probably get scared when she realizes she's going to jail. Maybe she'll confess then."
Everything was under Li Junsheng's control, which is why he sued Zhang Lan.
Firstly, it was to avenge his daughter, and secondly, to teach Zhang Lan a lesson.
This kind of person won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin; she must be severely punished before she will honestly confess.
Seeing that Li Junsheng had already planned everything out, Tang Liang had nothing to worry about!
"Let's wait a couple of days and see if Zhang Lan will ask to see us. Also, could you give her a longer sentence? I really can't stand this insult!"
When the question of how many years he would be sentenced to was raised, Li Junsheng fell silent for a moment.
"In my estimation, she'll get a maximum sentence of three years..."
If it's more than three years, then she must have had a huge impact on Xiaoyu, causing Xiaoyu to have suicidal thoughts. That would be considered a serious offense and could warrant a heavier sentence.
Tang Liang wasn't entirely satisfied with the three-year timeframe, but he had no other choice.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Junsheng received news that the lawsuit against Zhang Lan had been officially filed.
The court also notified Zhang Lan and gave her a summons!
Zhang Lan was still in detention at the moment, and it was only when she received the court summons that she truly panicked.
Upon seeing this, the policewoman responsible for handing the summons to Zhang Lan couldn't help but try to persuade her.
"Auntie, if you really intend to smear and defame someone, you'd better apologize quickly, otherwise if you end up in court and get sentenced to three years in prison, you'll be completely helpless!"
"Why are you doing this? At your age, what deep-seated grudge do you have against someone? Why would you slander them like this?"
Zhang Lan's hand trembled as she held the summons. After thinking for a moment, she asked the policewoman in front of her, "Officer, if I'm found to have defamed someone, how many years would I get in prison?"
"In about three years, you'll have a criminal record, and your children and grandchildren won't have any chance to get ahead in the future. You'd better apologize to the person who filed the lawsuit and ask them to drop it!"
The policewoman's advice to Zhang Lan was brief and to the point; what she should do next was up to her own discretion.
After the policewoman left, Zhang Lan collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant, not knowing what to do!
She didn't want to go to prison for three years too. Zhang Lan knew better than anyone how much her son had suffered in there.
Or... should I expose the person who instructed me to slander Li Xiaoyu?
Zhang Lan thought this was a good idea. No matter how good the benefits that person promised her were, she had to enjoy them!
