Without needing him to say it, Pei Qingshen laughed. “At this point, you wouldn’t still be thinking of pleading for mercy for your wife, right?”
The duke’s expression changed.
The old man could see things clearly.
Anna looked at her father. Her lake blue eyes were clear, but the duke felt guilty.
He looked away and lowered his head, his fingers twisting in front of him.
It wasn’t for any other reason. Miyazawa Rei had been managing the family affairs for the past few years, and she had done her best for him. Moreover, this incident really had nothing to do with her. She was really implicated by that unfilial son.
The Pei family was determined to avenge Ms. Su this time, and they naturally had the means to do so.
But the duke…
“My wife doesn’t know anything about this,” the duke said in a low voice. “The
Pei family has arrested her as well. They’re not giving me any face…”
Pei Qingshen smiled. “You really don’t have much face now.”
The duke’s expression did not look too good.
Pei Qingshen continued, “but it has nothing to do with the Pei family. The one who has embarrassed you is the wife who you adore…”
He glanced at the butler, who immediately bent down and handed him a kraft paper folder.
If the butler had to say it, it would have to be their Third Master who could predict the future. This was something that Third Master had sent over this morning.
Pei Qingshen raised his chin at the duke and gestured for the butler to pass the thing to him. “My grandson asked me to give it to you.”
The duke raised his hand to take it. When he untied the white cotton string on the leather bag, his tone was still firm. “Old Master, I know my wife’s character…”
Then, when he took out the thick stack of photos from the bag…he was immediately slapped in the face!
Seeing those things, he stopped moving, while Anna, who was beside him, lowered her head and kicked her toes. Her movements were neither fast nor slow.
Pei Qingshen had previously sent a message to his grandson, and now he wanted to pass it on to the duke.
He was cool a second ago, but now he’s in the crematorium.
Anna could go home, but how could the relationship between father and daughter be repaired? Could Anna forgive her scumbag father? In any case, Pei Qingshen thought it would be a long road ahead…
Miyazawa Rei and Miyazawa Ta were locked up in different cells.
There were four gray walls and a small square window on the side facing the iron door.
However, even the only small window was a courtyard, which was the kind that was deeply sunken into the two walls. The visibility was very limited.
Miyazawa Rei didn’t have a cell phone, so she didn’t have any way to communicate with the outside world. There wasn’t even a clock in the room. If she wanted to know the time, she could only look at the light outside the window. The prison guards only cared that she was fed, and they wouldn’t tell her about her son’s condition.
She couldn’t believe that someone could blatantlv disregard the law. If even she was like this, she couldn’t imagine what kind of treatment her son would receive.
However, she still had a glimmer of hope.
Thinking back to all these years of serving the duke, he should be able to get a little affection from him.
After all, as far as she knew, Su Ji’s injuries were not serious.
It shouldn’t be to the extent that the duke would fall out with her.
With this anticipation, one day, two days, three days passed in prison…
Then, on the day she was locked up for a week, there was finally news from Continent M!
When the police officer passed the message, Miyazawa Rei immediately stood up.
“The duke is here to save me, right?” She sounded agitated. “Where’s my son? Tell him that if he wants to save me, he has to save him as well. Otherwise, I won’t see him! I cut ties with my son because of him. Otherwise, my son would never have become like this!”
The prison guard looked at her as if she was crazy. “It’s the duke’s lawyer. Are you sure you don’t want to see the lawyer?”
“??” Miyazawa Rei’s expression suddenly changed!
Later, she was taken to a special visitation room by the prison guard. The person who came was indeed the lawyer. She had seen him before when she was still at the duke’s mansion. He was a middle-aged man who was decisive and efficient.
In the past, he was respectful to her, but today, he was sitting opposite her, acting impartially.
The lawyer handed her two files, and the prison guard passed them from the middle.
When Miyazawa Rei held it in her hand, her heart turned cold.
It couldn’t be a divorce agreement…
But after pinching the thickness, it didn’t look like it.
This was her and her son’s last hope. As long as they could get out of here, she would definitely make that little b * tch Su Ji pay a painful price.
The document was taken out of the bag, and a few large words appeared in front of her.
[ “Letter of Complaint” ] Miyazawa Rei: “…”
The duke sued her and her son.
He accused Miyazawa Ta of molesting an underage girl, accusing her of knowingly not reporting, assisting in concealing and hiding crimes.
The duke wasn’t trying to save them. On the contrary…he had filled in another piece of evidence for their imprisonment!
Miyazawa Rei’s hands trembled as she frantically opened another folder.
Inside was the meeting gift that Pei Huai had given to the Duke, the stack of photos.
There were countless photos of her sneaking out of the duke’s mansion to visit her son at the apartment. There were photos of her changing cars at the business district, photos of her appearing in the apartment’s parking lot, and even…the evidence of her standing with her son by the apartment window!
When was this taken?
Miyazawa Rei fell heavily back into the chair in the visitation room. Her eyes were dazed, and the photos in her hands scattered all over the ground.
“So…Ms. Ji Xi is your stepmom?”
On the 56th floor of the apartment, Cao Zhuzhu asked Pei Song with a frozen expression.
Pei Song gave her a look, and Cao Zhuzhu covered her mouth. On the toffee
chair next to the sofa, Su Ji’s legs were spread out. Pei Huai was not affected by that sentence. He was focused on his fiancée’s legs and sat with his back straight…On the small stool, at a suitable height and angle, he performed acupuncture on Su Ji’s leg through the cast.
The preliminary results of the Kyokushin’s PK competition were announced today. Cao Zhuzhu’s variety show was finally over. Su Ji came to hang out with her, and the two families regrouped after a few weeks.
The kitchen was filled with the sound of cooking while the television in the living room was playing. It was replaying the interview with Ji Xi, Sonya, and Zhou Xuefang on Tonight’s Warmth.
Just a few minutes ago, Cao Zhuzhu had stopped at this station because she knew that Su Ji was about to participate in this show.
It was a rare day off. Pei Song accompanied, his large hands loosely hugging her from behind.
Cao Zhuzhu wasn’t really watching. She was browsing for winter clothes of a certain brand on her phone. This brand’s style was niche, but it was very cool. Women’s clothing was more gender-neutral. Both she and Su Ji liked it. When she saw something nice, she would send it to Su Ji. Although the two of them were only a few meters seats away, they were chatting very happily on WeChat.
When she looked up by chance, Cao Zhuzhu realized that she didn’t really watch the television, but Pei Song had been watching it very seriously…
