Chu Zhongsheng's face flushed red with embarrassment.
He did say these words to Zhang Xiumei when he was in the guesthouse.
But after actually seeing Ye Linlang, Chu Zhongsheng couldn't even utter the words of pleading.
He had to admit that his sister Chu Xiaofan had become what she was today because of their family's own hands.
Everyone in their family is the murderer who pushed Chu Xiaofan into the abyss.
Especially his younger brother, who is like an executioner.
"Yes, it was my fault."
At that time, Chu Zhongsheng had no idea that his ex-brother-in-law would commit domestic violence against his second sister.
If he had known, he would never have stood idly by.
His sister and his parents only told him the good things that happened in the family, and never told him what kind of undercurrents were surging beneath all the superficial happiness?
When Zhang Xiumei heard Chu Zhongsheng's frank admission, she suddenly fell silent.
She did it not only for Chu Xiaofan, but also for so many women.
If an educated and intellectual woman like Chu Xiaofan can suffer domestic violence, can those girls who are sent to other people's homes like commodities by their parents truly have the dignity of being human?
There won’t be any.
For these girls, from the moment they marry into this family, they become objects.
To put it more simply, they all became objects for giving birth to sons.
What happened to those women who tried hard to give birth to sons?
What happened to those women who were beaten one after another and had no power to fight back?
The atmosphere in the private room froze for a moment.
Even a girl as straightforward as Wang Tingting looked at Ye Linlang and her master somewhat at a loss.
Yan Tingguang is now completely confused and has no idea what is going on.
Ye Linlang, however, looked at Chu Zhongsheng very calmly. She said softly, "Doctor Chu, no matter which case Chu Xiaofan is involved in, she must impose a sentence. And it must be the death penalty! No one is above the law. I am no exception."
A hint of gloom flashed across Chu Zhongsheng's eyes.
Yes, he knows.
He was not ignorant of the law. He had learned about the cases his sister was involved in from Captain Fu, who handled Chu Xiaofan's case.
He knows better than anyone what his sister's case means?
death penalty!
No changes!
"I understand." Chu Zhongsheng forced a smile and said, "Xiumei, since you three old classmates are getting together today, let's talk about other things. I'm going to go out and have a cigarette first."
After Chu Zhongsheng left, Xie Xuning followed Chu Zhongsheng out.
Yan Tingguang also made an excuse to leave for a while and went out.
In the huge private room, there were only Wang Tingting, Zhang Xiumei and Ye Linlang.
"Zhang Xiumei, did you have a fight with your man? Did he force you to beg Linlang for mercy?"
Zhang Xiumei shook her head. "Not really."
Wang Tingting asked again, "What happened?"
"The news about Chu Xiaofan has spread throughout the Chu family. The Chu family's parents hope that Chu Zhongsheng will take me away from the county."
With Zhang Xiumei's academic qualifications and Chu Zhongsheng's own abilities, it would be easy for them to find a job in Yanshan City.
"What does he think?" Wang Tingting asked.
Zhang Xiumei took a deep breath and said solemnly, "He wants to go back, but I won't go with him. When we get back to the county town from the imperial capital, we'll go through the divorce procedures."
