Chapter 438: Twins, The Truth of That Year! (24)
"I’m going to sue her, I must make her go to jail!" Ji Weitian gritted her teeth as she spoke, every word saturated with intense hatred.
Luo Xinyan, such a person, if not made to face the punishment she deserves, I’m afraid she’ll do even more terrible things in the future.
She’s a lunatic!
A lunatic who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
The rumors and slander have not been fully investigated yet, and Luo Xinyan is currently merely cooperating with the investigation.
Even if it turns out that she orchestrated everything, considering her prior formal clarifications and her skill at feigning innocence to win public sympathy, it is very likely she could get a lighter sentence.
But bribing doctors and stealing a newborn baby are not crimes she can escape from by playing the victim!
With Gong Hong and Li Li stepping forward to accuse her, the facts from four years ago, with both human and material evidence, leave Luo Xinyan no room for evasion.
"I know, I’ll handle it, I won’t let her escape legal sanction, I promise you," Leng Jian said softly as he took her hand, encouraging her to unclench her fist.
He turned his head to signal to a police officer beside him, apologizing for Ji Weitian’s earlier loss of control and ensuring everything was alright before leading Ji Weitian out of the building.
He poured her a glass of water, advising her to calm her emotions.
Once certain she was okay, Leng Jian placed the glass in her hand before turning to deal with the remaining matters.
By the time they left the police station, dusk had fallen.
The faint orange glow filtered through the treetops and scattered onto the ground.
Ji Weitian looked pale-faced, her lips void of color, as she stared blankly at the slanting sun in the west, seemingly unable to distinguish past from present.
Until her phone rang.
She instinctively answered—
"Mommy, why didn’t you come to pick me up from school today?" The voice of the little one, full of grievance, came through the phone.
Ji Weitian paused, her reason returning to her in that moment.
She glanced at the time; it was already past the kindergarten’s dismissal hour.
Another look at the caller ID revealed it was Qin Nanyu’s call.
Qin Nanyu...
Ji Weitian felt momentarily dazed by those three words.
It had only been a day since she saw him, yet it felt like ages apart.
The little one was still babbling on, obviously missing Mommy a bit and feeling a touch of disdain for Daddy, cooing childishly, "Mommy, we’ve picked up sister, and also, I miss you."
"..."
Ji Weitian’s heart instantly melted into a mush.
Leng Jian was right.
She was not like Luo Xinyan; her child needed her, and she still had a chance to make amends.
Ji Weitian ended the call and turned to say something to Leng Jian, but he had already opened the car door.
"Your current state of mind is not very good, I am worried about you going back alone, fortunately, I drove here, so I’ll take you home first."
Leng Jian was gentle in nature, thoughtful and meticulous.
He seemed easy to talk to, but once he expressed himself, he hardly left any room for refusal.
Ji Weitian thought for a moment, took her place in the passenger seat, and saw Leng Jian walk around to the driver’s side, get into the car, and seriously said, "Thank you."
Leng Jian’s movements paused slightly, he raised his eyebrows looking at her, a trace of a smirk crossing his face.
"You suddenly being so polite makes me suspect I’ve got the wrong person."
His relaxed tone made the atmosphere in the car less oppressive.
Ji Weitian suddenly remembered that since Leng Jian had returned to the country, he had been continually helping her, even Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling did not get a chance to see him, so she asked subconsciously, "Do you want to go see Yaoyao?"
