Chapter 1045 - 127: Even If It Means My Death...
"Please calm down and listen to me first!" Lu Beiyao saw how agitated she was and leaned forward to hold her shoulders.
Li Siru had no energy to struggle, just looked at him resentfully, "Lu Beiyao, isn’t it enough for you? My mother’s funeral hasn’t even been held, and you’re already eager to send my cousin in. You’ve finally achieved your wish. Do you think this will change anything? Even if I die, I’ll..."
"He volunteered!" Lu Beiyao interrupted her, afraid of what she might say. He swallowed and sat by the hospital bed, as if also seeking some support for himself. "He volunteered. He had already agreed with me to plead guilty during the trial, but you confessed first."
"Why would he plead guilty? Why!" Li Siru felt like crying, but now she couldn’t even shed a tear.
"Have you ever thought about why Zhou Ju’an had nothing happen to him but only came back three years later?" Lu Beiyao sighed, "I admit he was indeed very good to you. However, he never truly intended to marry you. He came back just for the Li Family’s money."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"I promised to treat his wife and children, so he volunteered to go to jail to take the blame for you!"
Wife? Children?
Li Siru was slightly stunned!
Years ago, Zhou Ju’an leapt out of the car during an explosion, but half of his face was scarred by the flames, and his throat was injured. He fell into the river, was carried downstream by the current, and was rescued by a girl in a small village in the suburbs.
The girl was an orphan with a congenital heart disease. Although she could only support herself, she took care of him meticulously, ignoring the looks of others in the village, and took him to see a doctor.
At first, he couldn’t speak, but later he gradually regained his voice, although it remained hoarse.
For the first time, Zhou Ju’an truly felt the warmth of being cared for. He changed his name and lived a simple yet warm life with the girl.
However, due to her congenital heart condition, their first child was miscarried unexpectedly, and her heart attacks became more frequent.
Now, finally, she was pregnant again, and Zhou Ju’an was determined to treat her and ensure the child’s safe birth, which prompted him to think of the Li Family’s unattended assets as an opportunity for some money.
However, Mr. Li would rather have no one take over than rashly hand it over to someone outside the family. Just as Li Siru and Lu Beiyao were divorcing, they discussed this plan.
Zhou Ju’an had no ill intentions, just... never expected things to turn out this way.
Li Siru had been the girl he liked for many years, and he didn’t want to see her in trouble either.
Since Lu Beiyao proposed such terms, it was a win-win; all the people he cared about would be safe. It was only a year in prison, and he was willing.
"Zhou Ju’an, I promise you, I will ask Zhu Yiming to personally ensure your child’s safe birth!"
Then he would have no regrets!
Li Siru’s current feelings were very complex. She was happy that her cousin had found someone to cherish for life, but she didn’t want him to go to prison because of her.
In the end, it was all because of the man in front of her!
"Lu Beiyao, what will it take for you to let me go?" She wiped the tears from her eyes, speaking coldly, "Now, the Li Family is already done for; what else do you have to threaten me with?"
"I don’t want to threaten you!" Lu Beiyao said in a low voice, "But, Zhou Ju’an went to prison for you, his wife and children, shouldn’t you help take care of them?"
He was hitting her soft spot again!
