This upset everyone.
In this situation, let alone discussing cooperation, it was already quite good that Wen He didn't immediately turn hostile when she walked in and saw her parents.
"It's alright," Wen He replied softly.
"If you need legal aid, you can tell me. We have the backing of Tencent and a very powerful judicial system, which will definitely be of help to you," the director quickly offered.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I already have a lawyer."
"Hello, I'm Gao Chongting, Wen He's lawyer, and also a long-time fan of Wen He." Gao Chongting extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Hello, hello. To be honest, I'm also a fan of Wen He." The director shook hands and smiled. To avoid an awkward silence, he immediately added, "Let's find somewhere else to eat first."
"Okay, okay, I'm really hungry." Cheng Yudie couldn't wait to leave and quickly replied.
After seeing those things, everyone looked at Wen's father and mother as if they were plague gods.
After all, just seeing their faces makes me uncomfortable; it's as if their presence makes me feel bad and the atmosphere oppressive.
"He... I know it's too late to say anything now..."
"We just want a small chance, a chance to prove we've changed for the better..."
"For the sake of us being family... Dad, please... give us one last chance..."
At this moment, Wen's father also knelt down.
A man will only choose to abandon his dignity and kneel down to beg for help when he is truly desperate.
Wen He looked at her father.
He seems to have aged a lot.
His head was covered with many white hairs, and wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes. He lowered his head, and his voice was filled with pleading.
Just like...
"You should know very well what will happen if I find out you lied to me."
"I'm giving you one last chance. Take it out, or I'll have to take action."
"Dad...can I keep twenty...I only need twenty...please..."
Snap!
"Don't try to negotiate with me, just take it as I tell you to."
…………
Just like when Wen He once begged him to leave him only twenty yuan.
So pitiful, so humble, so cowardly.
“I don’t need you to repent. I have already found my own light. I don’t need your love and warmth.”
Wen He said in a cold voice, then turned and left with the others without looking back.
These words shattered their last hope.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen sat there dejectedly, their eyes dull and lifeless.
Not long after Wen He and the others left.
Gao Chongting returned alone.
“Stop staring blankly. If you don’t want to go to jail, you might as well give me some benefits,” he said.
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Wen were startled and looked up at Gao Chongting.
"What do you mean!?" They seemed to have grasped at a straw.
"As you can see, we have a lot of evidence in our hands that is enough to convict you, and I am now Wen He's lawyer. If you can offer me a price that satisfies me, I will drop most of the charges against you. How about it, want to talk?" Gao Chongting said with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. and Mrs. Wen's eyes lit up once again.
