Chapter 1043 - 125: Are You Satisfied Now That You’ve Ruined My Family?
The trial for Li Siru was moved forward significantly. Although Zhou Ju’an was also a suspect, he was also a witness and needed to testify in court together.
As long as she insisted that it was a misunderstanding due to her romantic disputes with Lu Beiyao, and then Zhou Ju’an admitted it was his doing, she could clear her name.
Li Siru did not dare to lift her head to look at Zhou Ju’an for even a moment, her heart was in turmoil. If she had known this day would come, she wouldn’t have confessed rashly, she would have fought to the death to testify for her cousin.
However, she had planned on going to prison, but her mother...
The trial proceeded smoothly, but Li Siru couldn’t digest anything until midway when she saw Li Minghui rushing in, almost bringing her back to life.
What was he doing here instead of staying in the hospital?!
Li Siru felt he had something to say. Without regard for anything else, she wanted to rush over and ask him, "What are you doing here? Did something happen to my mom?"
She had constantly felt uneasy, always feeling something was wrong. Could it be... something really happened?!
Li Minghui crouched down on the side, covering his face, and Li Siru froze completely.
She mechanically returned to her original position, and the trial continued...
"Li Siru, do you admit that Li Mengru was harmed by you, is it true?... Li Siru, Li Siru?"
At this point, Li Siru came back to her senses. She dazedly looked at the lawyer and judge, then at Zhou Ju’an, who was also looking at her nervously.
She smiled faintly at him, "I admit it, I killed my sister Li Mengru."
The scene was in an uproar, and Lu Beiyao almost rushed over, but was stopped by the police.
"All of New City knows that the eldest daughter of the Li Family is its treasure, while I, the second daughter, have no status, almost less than a servant. Li Mengru had everything I wanted. Even though she was about to marry Lu Beiyao, she also wanted to take Zhou Ju’an from me, so I held a grudge, drove her out, but Zhou Ju’an didn’t trust us, followed us out, and when the incident happened, the two of them were in the back seat, I jumped from the front..."
"You’re talking nonsense, absolute nonsense!" Lu Beiyao was nearly losing control.
"Judge, I plead guilty, I’m the one who killed my sister. I haven’t had a good life these three years, so I want to atone for my sins!"
"Sisi, Sisi..." Zhou Ju’an suddenly collapsed onto a chair.
...
News of Li Siru admitting to harming her own sister quickly spread throughout New City.
"You can’t take her away, I won’t let you take her away!" Lu Beiyao blocked in front.
"Young Master Lu, considering your status, we agreed to a second trial, please don’t make it difficult for us!"
Lu Beiyao grabbed Li Siru, but she just kept her head down, silent, like a walking corpse.
He turned again to grab Zhou Ju’an by the collar. "Why don’t you say anything? Do you still want that money? Are you thinking about going back to reunite with that woman and that’s why you’re letting her go to prison?"
"Lu Beiyao, it’s you making her go to prison! If you have this strength, why not use your Lu Family connections to think about how to get her out!" Zhou Ju’an directly pushed him away.
Lu Beiyao staggered back several steps, nearly falling to the ground.
...
Li Siru’s second hearing proceeded as scheduled, but she wasn’t cooperative at all, with no room for negotiation. Due to her admitting guilt with a proper attitude, and with Lu Beiyao seeking help from the Tong Family, she received a lenient sentence of just one year.
"Lu Beiyao, now, you’ve caused our Li Family to break apart, does it feel good?" Li Siru followed the police into the station, "In the future, I won’t see anyone who comes to visit me!"
