Chapter 238: The Dust Settles
#Jiang Yue was arrested
"This trending search is only now coming up, Jiang Yue should have been arrested a long time ago!" Ji Shuyu complained, put down his phone and concentrated on eating hot pot.
Song Lehan felt something was amiss, so he clicked on the entry and took a closer look. He realized it was a report from the official media. It listed numerous crimes Jiang Yue had been accused of, and they were currently awaiting trial.
After a quick glance, Song Lehan actually saw that Jiang Yue was...involved in drug trafficking?!
If he really did that, it wouldn't be as simple as a prison sentence...
"It seems Jiang Yue is going to be sentenced to death..."
Song Lehan's light words made Ji Shuyu stop picking up the meat. His eyes widened and he couldn't believe what Song Lehan said.
"Is it true?" Ji Shuyu asked.
Song Lehan nodded slowly, then turned the phone screen towards her, indicating that she should look at it herself.
Ji Shuyu took it and looked at it, and exclaimed, "If this is true, then Jiang Yue deserves it!"
"He's done so many bad things, this is what he deserves!"
Su Mobai sat next to them, putting food into the hot pot, listening to what the two of them said silently without saying anything.
Until she heard Ji Shuyu ask Song Lehan when the court would announce the verdict, she thought for a moment before speaking and then asked, "Do you want to go and see it when the verdict is announced?"
Song Lehan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly, "It depends on whether I have time. If I have to work, I won't have time to watch it."
If she had time, she would go and see it.
Su Mobai guessed that she would say that, and he knew that she would definitely go to see it whether she had time or not.
There is no reason, I will definitely go.
That’s right, Song Lehan did go.
On the day of the trial, Song Lehan sat in a seat in the audience with Xu Jiangcuo sitting next to him.
When Jiang Yue was escorted out, Song Lehan almost didn't recognize him. His face was withered, his hair had been shaved bald, and there was a hint of stubble on his chin. He looked listless, a stark contrast to his previous image.
I never thought that one day I would be able to see Jiang Yue like this.
The judge opened the trial.
Jiang Yue did not refute any of the charges. His mother had hired a defense lawyer for him, but Jiang Yue refuted everything the lawyer said.
His mother was so angry that she started crying and pointed at Jiang Yue's nose and started scolding him. But Jiang Yue's expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear anything at all.
Finally, the judge stopped Jiang Yue's mother's behavior and continued the trial.
Maybe because Jiang Yue admitted it so quickly, it ended soon.
Jiang Yue was really sentenced to death.
At the moment of the verdict, Jiang Yue inexplicably turned around and glanced in the direction of Song Lehan.
His eyes were dim and unclear.
Jiang Yue was taken out.
The whole thing came to an end.
When I walked out of the court, the sun was shining brightly, making me feel warm.
Song Lehan and Xu Jiangcuo walked out, ready to go back.
Coincidentally, he ran into Jiang Yue who was about to be taken away.
"Song Lehan." He stopped and called Song Lehan.
Song Lehan turned around and looked at Jiang Yue. Without saying a word, he just stood there looking at him.
There was no emotion in her eyes. "Are you satisfied with me like this?" Jiang Yue asked, not as if he was deliberately disgusting her, but genuinely asking if she was satisfied.
There was still no expression on Song Lehan's face, but he frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand why he asked that.
"Isn't this the result you have now what you deserve?"
What does it have to do with me?
Song Lehan just exposed all these things in front of everyone. He should have been very clear about the result when he chose to do this, right?
Xu Jiangcuo stood behind Song Lehan, obviously wanting to support Song Lehan.
But Song Lehan doesn't need it at all.
"Jiang Yue, your situation has nothing to do with me." Song Lehan stood up straight, looked at Jiang Yue steadily, and continued, "My parents have a lot to do with you."
"Actually, I'm quite grateful to you. You gave me an opportunity when I needed money the most and covered most of my father's medical expenses. If it weren't for you, my father might have died a long time ago."
"You did go too far in what happened next. But..." Song Lehan's lips curled up slightly, without a trace of smile. "We are now completely even."
Song Lehan has always understood that compared to the help she gave to Jiang Yue, it was actually Jiang Yue who helped her more.
It is precisely because of this that Song Lehan sometimes feels grateful to Jiang Yue when she thinks of her father's medical expenses.
But not much.
Now, they are really clear of each other.
No one owes anyone anything.
When Jiang Yue heard Song Lehan's words, he suddenly laughed out loud. Then, he looked at Xu Jiangcuo, paused for two seconds, and then turned to Song Lehan's face.
Then, he asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"If we didn't have the contract and everything that happened afterwards, we would just be ordinary friends."
"So, will you like me?"
Jiang Yue didn't know what Song Lehan liked about Xu Jiangcuo, but if they had not been hostile from the beginning, would Song Lehan fall in love with him?
Will it?
I guess so...
Jiang Yue had a last bit of expectation hidden in his heart.
Song Lehan didn't hesitate at all and answered directly, "No."
She won't like Jiang Yue.
From the beginning to the end, they were not from the same world.
There's no possibility at all.
If it weren't for family changes and the perfect timing, there might not have been that contract, and they would not have met.
Even if they met by accident, Song Lehan would never like someone like Jiang Yue.
So, no matter what they say, it is impossible.
The moment he heard the answer, Jiang Yue chuckled, as if he had guessed the answer, but also as if he had completely given up.
When the time came, the police took Jiang Yue away.
Song Lehan stood there and watched Jiang Yue leave, as if to bid him farewell.
"Why?"
Suddenly there was a voice behind me.
"Why are you doing this?" Ye Shuqing was standing behind, wearing a mask and a hat, and her face was completely invisible.
She had come a long time ago, originally wanting to see if there was any chance for Jiang Yue to turn the tables. Even if he was sentenced to a few years, as long as he was there, Ye Shuqing would be able to use the Jiang family to completely suppress her father.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Yue had no intention of resisting at all.
He confessed everything and was sentenced to death.
At that moment, Ye Shuqing felt that his life was completely dark.
No one could be as rich, as powerful, and as good to her as Jiang Yue...
