When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 851: Thirteen Years of Loving You, No Regrets (Part 1)

Soon, the judgment for Su Wan, the kidnappers, and Xin Ke was out. Since no lives were taken, the punishment was not supposed to be severe. However, Su Wan was exposed for previously using drugs and even being involved in drug trafficking, which is not a minor issue.

For a while, it no longer mattered that she instructed others to kidnap; the public’s focus shifted entirely to those matters.

As for the kidnappers, although he wasn’t the mastermind, he had a criminal record, and quite a significant one at that, so the punishment would certainly not be light.

Sheng Jiayu read these conclusions, her attention fully focused on Su Wan.

She had never imagined that Su Wan would actually use drugs. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

Raising her eyes to say something, she noticed Mu Ke calmly sipping his tea. Sheng Jiayu found it a bit odd, her eyes shifted subtly, and she leaned closer to Mu Ke and asked, "Wasn’t it you who exposed her?"

Mu Ke’s cold eyes were as calm as water: "Yes, it was me."

Miss Sheng expressed that she had just guessed randomly on a whim, but it turned out to really be him?

"I looked at her medical report; some of the indicators were different from normal people. Those changes typically occur only after drug abuse or as sequelae of certain major illnesses. Evidently, Su Wan had no such medical history, so it could only be the former. I asked Mr. Sheng to investigate further."

Sheng Jiayu retreated to her seat and sat properly, then she heard Mu Ke revert to a light tone and remark: "If someone messes with my people, surely they must endure my revenge."

Sheng Jiayu froze for a moment; the word "revenge" coming from such a cold and aloof person as Mu Ke seemed rather out of place.

It could only be said that Su Wan truly crossed his bottom line.

Sheng Jiayu couldn’t help but curl her lips. Why did she feel like she was being loved by a domineering CEO?

Clearly, between her and Mu Ke, she should be the domineering female CEO, but Mu Ke was just a doctor.

Time quietly passed by, and the renovations on their new home were nearing completion. Actually, it was more about altering some of the original designs to fit Sheng Jiayu’s preferences.

During this time, Ms. Wang and Mr. Mu visited B City a few times, especially Ms. Wang. Ever since the misunderstanding was cleared up, her attitude toward Sheng Jiayu practically treated her as her own daughter.

Sheng Jiayu also realized that those people were right; Ms. Wang does care a lot about face, but she’s not obstinate about it. Overall, she is reasonable, though sometimes her insistence can be amusing and endearing.

For instance, when discussing dowries with Xu Qingru, Xu Qingru’s meaning was that since neither child needed them to worry, they might as well allow them to handle things on their own.

But Ms. Wang disagreed; she only had one son, and since he was marrying a daughter from a wealthy family, it had to be done grandly.

Although their family wasn’t overflowing with wealth, they weren’t poor either, so nothing necessary should be missing.

During their visits to B City, she would take Sheng Jiayu to buy clothes or jewelry, going through entire sets of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, amethysts, and so on.

"Jiayu, come take a look, how about this?"

Resigned, Sheng Jiayu walked over and looked at the pair of golden bracelets in Ms. Wang’s hand. Gold was her least favorite material; when worn well it’s fine, but otherwise, it just looks nouveau riche.

"You young people don’t like gold, but you should still have a set ready for your wedding."
