823: If I had married you back then, it would have been great
Zhou Ziheng sat in the car and watched Jiang Shang get out of the car with some beautifully wrapped gifts in his hands. He carried these things into the corridor.
Zhou Ziheng sighed unconsciously and couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship Jiang Shang had with You Wenyue's parents?
Besides You Wenyue’s parents, who else can Jiang Shang come to see?
Who else is worthy of Jiang Shang visiting with such fanfare and gifts?
What is his intention in coming to find You Wenyue’s parents?
All kinds of questions popped up in my heart, but there was no answer.
"Let's go."
Zhou Ziheng instructed the driver, who restarted the car and took Zhou Ziheng away.
---------
You family.
Jiang Shang knocked on You's door with gifts in both hands.
The door opened a crack, revealing the vigilant eyes of You Wenyue's mother, Ding Pei. When she saw that it was Jiang Shang standing outside, she immediately changed her attitude and said with a smile:
"Jiang Shang, you're finally here, come in!"
Ding Pei opened the door completely and warmly welcomed Jiang Shang in, then shouted into the room:
"Old You, Old You, it's Jiang Shang who's here!"
A wheelchair slowly slid out of the bedroom. You Wenyue's father, You Changsheng, was sitting in the wheelchair. Under his white hair were a pair of cold and sinister eyes. When he saw Jiang Shang, these eyes showed a slight warmth.
Jiang Shang politely handed the gifts in both hands to Ding Pei:
"Uncle and aunt, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"How can I have the nerve to keep accepting your gifts?" Ding Pei took the thing from Jiang Shang's hand, a sad smile on her face, "Over the years, you are the only one who cares about us. Apart from you, who else would be willing to come to our house? Sigh-----"
As Ding Pei spoke, her eyes turned red again.
Jiang Shang smiled and comforted him warmly:
"Aunt, it's okay, it's all over."
Hearing him say this, Ding Pei's eyes immediately lit up:
"What's wrong? Is there any progress on our Wen Yue's matter?"
"I came here today for this matter."
Ding Pei was so excited that she didn't know what to do:
"Jiang Shang, please sit down, please sit down, I'll pour you some tea!"
"Auntie, don't bother. Please sit down too."
"well."
Ding Pei hurriedly put down the gift in her hand and sat down on the sofa at home with Jiang Shang.
You Wenyue's father You Changsheng had also pushed his wheelchair to the sofa.
At this time, You Changsheng no longer had the prestige he had a few years ago. He had aged rapidly in the past two years, with a head full of white hair and a haggard face. His face looked as weathered as a withered leaf.
The same thing happened to You Wenyue's mother, Ding Pei. A few years ago, she looked remarkably youthful, a woman in her middle age, yet still possessing a certain charm. However, in the two years her daughter has been in prison, she has visibly aged by more than a decade, her figure emaciated, her eyes dull, and she has become a completely withered old woman.
The old couple's eyes only regained their vitality when they heard that there had been progress in their daughter's affairs.
Jiang Shang sat on the sofa, facing the old couple's eager eyes, and said in a calm voice:
"I asked the court about Wen Yue's case, and they said they could overturn the verdict."
"ah!"
Ding Pei screamed, covered her mouth, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.
You Changsheng also excitedly grasped the wheelchair armrests with both hands, his dry and skinny cheeks twitched slightly, and he asked incoherently:
"The court has confirmed that the verdict can be overturned!"
"Yes, it's perfectly possible that over the past two years, with so many cases being overturned, many people who were wrongly convicted have been cleared. Regarding Wen Yue's case, I specifically asked my friends at the court, and they also said that the sentence was too harsh and too hasty. If it weren't for Minister Zhou's intervention, there's no way he would have been sentenced to 10 years. He might not have even received a year."
Ding Pei wiped her tears, clenched her fists and said angrily:
"I knew it was like that. What crime did Wen Yue commit back then? She just used a knife to scare people. She stabbed her own husband. How could she be sentenced for such a small crime?
It was that guy named Zhou who deliberately made trouble for us. How could he be so cruel as to kill our entire family?
"Old You, how could you accept such a heartless person as your sworn brother? When he gets ruthless, he doesn't recognize any relatives! My poor Wen Yue!"
Ding Pei took out her handkerchief and couldn't help sobbing.
You Changsheng remained calm, staring at Jiang Shang and asking:
"Jiang Shang, do you have the confidence to overturn her case?"
"I may not be able to overturn her conviction, but she's already been in labor camp for so many years. The few mistakes she made are definitely enough. As long as I apply to the court, I can have her released now."
"Really? My daughter can really be released early?"
"Yes." Jiang Shang answered with certainty.
When Ding Pei heard that her daughter could be released, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She suddenly moved down from the sofa and knelt down to Jiang Shang beside her:
"Jiang Shang---"
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Jiang Shang looked terrified and quickly reached out to support Ding Pei. "Aunt, please don't do this! You're making me suffer. Get up!"
"Jiang Shang, I must say a few words. Thank you for thinking about our Wen Yue. Of all the friends Wen Yue has made over the years, you are the only one who still cares about her. Those ungrateful people heard about what happened to Ben Yue and avoided us like the plague.
Zhou Ziheng is cold-blooded and inhumane. Our Wenyue has liked him for so many years, but he doesn't show any affection towards her at all.
And there is Jia Zan, that coward. A husband and wife should be grateful to each other for a hundred days. Our Wen Yue gave birth to a child for him, but he didn't even consider Wen Yue for the sake of the child. As soon as Wen Yue left, he divorced her.
He also said that he would be nice to Wenyue for the rest of his life, but he was just pretending in front of us for so many years!
If we had known this would happen, we shouldn’t have married Wen Yue to him. None of these people are good!
Only you, Jiang Shang, only
You still think about our Wenyue. If Wenyue had married you back then, it would have been great—"
When Jiang Shang heard the heartfelt words from You Wenyue's mother, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with great regret:
"It's a pity that I was already married at that time, otherwise, it would not have been Jia Zan's turn."
Jiang Shang's words made Ding Pei even more heartbroken. They missed out on such a good son-in-law!
If the person who married their daughter was Jiang Shang instead of Jia Zan, their family would never be what it is today!
Jiang Shang is more capable and handsome than Jia Zan, and is better at dealing with people than Jia Zan.
Compared with Jiang Shang, Jia Zan is simply useless!
They actually let their precious daughter marry a loser like Jia Zan.
Ding Pei felt that as a mother, she was also largely responsible for her daughter's current fate. She felt sorry for her daughter for not choosing a reliable husband for her.
"It's our Wenyue who is unlucky. It's our family who is unlucky."
Ding Pei almost couldn't help but say that after Wen Yue was released from prison, she would let Jiang Shang divorce his wife and then they would get married again, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that it was inappropriate and swallowed them back.
