Gu Yutian needs to have an abortion as soon as possible and also has one fallopian tube removed.
That kind of surgery is very harmful to a woman's body.
If you don't take good care of yourself after surgery and end up in jail, your body definitely won't be able to handle it, and you might even develop some health problems and suffer for the rest of your life.
That's why she compromised and agreed to apologize in public in order to gain my understanding.
Then the Gu family went to great lengths, searching everywhere for connections and people—so when the case was reopened, the judge saw that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes and showing remorse in court, and also considered her unfortunate experience and physical condition, so he made an exception for her.
He was sentenced to only one year in prison, suspended for two years.
In other words, if she does not commit any illegal or disorderly acts within the next two years and strictly abides by the requirements of probation, she will not need to be imprisoned.
But that's a story for another time, and it doesn't really concern me.
Right now, what I'm most anxious about is how to appease Su Shenglin.
He was really angry.
When I left the administrative center, I called him, but Secretary Ji Ming answered and said that Su Shenglin was accompanying several very important leaders on an inspection tour and was temporarily unable to answer the phone.
I don't know if it's true or not.
But I think that no matter what, he should call me back once he's done with his "busy" time.
But even after I finished discussing business with my lawyer and drafted the out-of-court settlement, he still didn't call.
On the subway home, I stared at my phone, the screen hovering over his number. After hesitating several times, I didn't dare to call again.
Tomorrow and the day after are Saturday and Sunday. I was thinking about my original plan to visit Grandpa Su at Su Garden, but I'm feeling conflicted and hesitant.
Is this considered our first argument after we became a couple?
Although they didn't actually "argue," he was clearly angry and ignoring everyone.
When I got home, the myna bird excitedly rushed to the door and wagged its tail around me. Then it poked its head out of the door and came back around me and barked once.
I understood what the dog meant, and I chuckled. "Even you've been won over by him? Too bad he didn't come today. He's angry and ignoring me! Humph! Let's ignore him too!"
I was talking to myself, and also talking to the dog.
All night long, I worked overtime while constantly checking my phone.
But he never called.
I don't know if he's finished with his work, and I don't dare to call him again rashly.
By the time I was about to go to sleep, I was also getting angry.
It's no big deal!
I already said I would explain to him afterwards, and if necessary, I would apologize for the actions that unintentionally hurt him.
I don't like this kind of cold treatment when there are problems in a relationship.
Even if you argue, it's still a form of communication, and it's better than this kind of passive-aggressive behavior.
Indeed, no one is perfect.
Su Shenglin, who seemed perfect to me, gradually revealed his problems as we spent more time together.
As he himself said, he also had many shortcomings.
Even though I'm currently so angry about his "petty" behavior that I'm pounding my pillow, I don't hate him because of it. On the contrary, I feel that this is a more real and living person, and that's how I can get a little closer to him.
————
When I woke up the next day, there were still no messages from him on my phone.
After thinking it over, I sent him a WeChat message, asking if he was going to Suzhou Garden again today.
He didn't reply to me until I finished washing up and had breakfast.
Staring at my phone, I suddenly felt very wronged.
What does this mean?
Does that mean we're breaking up right now?
Even if you want to break up, shouldn't you at least meet in person and talk it out?
Why was the ceremony so elaborate at the beginning, but ended like this when it was over?
I was both angry and disappointed, and staying at home made me feel worse and worse.
Thinking about the despicable behavior of men, I regretted it again, thinking to myself that I deserved it. I was deceived and hurt by men once, but I didn't learn my lesson and jumped into the fire pit again so quickly.
Grandma and Aunt were right; it's my fault for being too love-struck and not listening to their advice.
I quickly composed myself, cheered myself up, and went to the company to work overtime.
Men are just a diversion in life; they can't interfere with my making money or my career.
After some mental preparation, I felt much better.
Unexpectedly, while still on the road, he received a call from Tang Xiu'e.
“Jiang Wan, I really have no other choice. If you don’t give me the money, I’ll pick up your dad later and take you there. I’ve already asked Gu Yanqing and I know which floor you live on. I’ll just drop him off at your doorstep.”
Tang Xiu'e is becoming increasingly shameless; she actually wants to completely dump Jiang Haiyang on me.
I smiled and said, "Then I can move right away. Let's see who moves faster. If you dump him here and he dies outside, you'll at least be charged with 'abandonment,' and you won't have any leverage to blackmail me anymore."
"Abandonment? Don't lie to me, there's no such crime!"
"If you don't believe me, check it online or ask a lawyer."
Tang Xiu'e remained silent.
I couldn't help but laugh again—ha, with that kind of brain like bound feet, trying to fight me? They used to rely solely on bullying the weak and the many, but now they're a disorganized mess, and it's my turn to crush them one by one.
"However, I am still more kind-hearted than you guys."
As soon as I said that, Tang Xiue became excited again, "So? You agreed to give me the money?"
"Giving money isn't out of the question, but it depends on your attitude."
"What's the meaning?"
I had a sudden thought, and after keeping him in suspense, I said, "I'll go with you to pick him up, and we'll talk about it after we get there."
"You're coming with me... to pick up your dad?" Tang Xiu'e's voice trembled with surprise.
"What, you don't want me to go?"
"No, no, you should go! We'll take him directly to the hospital, you just need to pay the bill." Tang Xiu'e was afraid I would change my mind, so she quickly made the arrangements and gave me the prison address.
After hanging up the phone, I abandoned my plan to go to the company and turned on the navigation to head straight for the prison.
I was feeling down, so I decided to tease my enemy and have some fun.
There was traffic on Saturday, and by the time I arrived, Tang Xiue had already picked up Jiang Haiyang.
Seeing them from afar, I was both surprised and relieved.
In just over two months, Jiang Haiyang has aged drastically and seems like a completely different person.
His hair was gray, his face was haggard, and he had lost at least fifty or sixty pounds.
He stood there, unable to straighten his legs, and needed Tang Xiu'e and Jiang Hao to support him on either side to keep from falling.
Tsk, it seems that life in prison was really tough.
I drove over, and when they saw me, they immediately waved excitedly.
I sneered. Now they're clinging to me like a lifeline, welcoming me with such enthusiasm, little do they know I'm about to unleash their nightmare.
Thinking back, they never looked at me properly, and they never said a kind word to me.
I slowed down and stopped, but only rolled down the window; I didn't intend to get out of the car.
"You got out so quickly?" I greeted him with a smile, glancing deliberately at Jiang Haiyang.
He turned his head away with a stern face, I couldn't tell if he still hated me and didn't like me, or if he felt embarrassed and ashamed to face me.
Tang Xiue complained, "Why did you take so long to come? I already told you your father has a serious leg problem, and he must be suffering a lot standing here."
I lazily retorted, "How much suffering can it be? Can it be worse than when you stripped me naked and made me stand in the freezing cold as punishment when I was a child?"
