Chapter 839 - Liuxi… I’m sorry (2/2)

Luosang was quiet. She had wondered why Mo Jin never remarried. She thought that Mo Jin couldn’t forget Xu Zhengxuan. She had thought wrongly.

Mo Liuxi inhaled slowly, “I’m going back to Xia City. I’ve seen him now, I think he will be released in a couple of days. Although he is my father, I’m not keen on having much interaction with him.”

“…Ok.”

…

When they were back at the villa, Mo Liuxi packed his bags and left promptly. He didn’t ask Nian Junting to arrange anyone to drive him.

Luosang sat by herself on the balcony after he left.

“Luo, what did you guys talk about? I thought you wanted to build your relations.h.i.+p with him?” Nian Junting pressed his palms onto her shoulder.

“I can’t go back and talk to him, there’s no point in forcing him to stay if he doesn’t want to.” Luosang was still looking at the dusky skies outside. “I’ve realized that I was much more privileged compared to Liuxi. I should treat him nicer in the future.”

“Ok.”

They spent three days in An City. An Lan brought them good news from the police station; the trial of Yi Jingxi and Xu Zhengxuan would be brought forward to the supreme court. The trial would start on Friday. No matter how heavily Yi Jingxi and Princ.i.p.al Cheng would be sentenced this time, Xu Zhengxuan would be let out for sure.

On Thursday afternoon, Nian Junting was in a video conference in the study when there was a ring on the doorbell. Luosang opened the door expecting An Lan, but instead she saw Chu Lei through the screen. On the surveillance camera, she was looking around the porch.

Luosang had only seen Chu Lei once and she had been dressed cleanly but she looked frazzled and disheveled today. Luosang hesitated about whether she should let her in.

The doorbell kept ringing until Nian Junting came down from the staircase. “Why aren’t you opening the door?’

“It’s Chu Lei,” Luosang said hesitantly, “She’s probably here about Yi Jingxi.”

Nian Junting could sense her hesitance but he opened the gates. “Let her in. She ruined your family after all so let’s take a closer look at her.”

They walked out together and Chu Lei approached them timidly. When she caught sight of Luosang, she suddenly fell to the ground and started bowing to her. Luosang was pregnant and didn’t dare to go any closer to her. Nian Junting watched her coldly.

After a while, she shuffled to Luosang still on her knees and grabbed her pants. “Miss Xu, I beg you, please let Yi Jingxi off. He is innocent, I ruined his life. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have lied to him, blame me for everything. If you want revenge, take it out on me, I don’t care if you send me to prison.”

Luosang was angry. She thought that Chu Lei was even more incorrigible than Jiang Qifei.

“You’re pleading for mercy now. Have you forgotten the time when Yi Jingxi sent my dad to prison and stole everything from me? Did you grant me mercy then?”
