With Shen Xinglan pushed things forward from behind, the Xia family dealt this thing at a fast speed. Xia Yongqiang and his brother were sentenced to prison for five years. It was not known how much money they had spent to make an exception for them.
And Yao Lili was sentenced to prison for obstructing the judicial fair for one year. The second day she was in jail, her son, who sat around idly all day while waiting to die, took all her jewelry abroad.
”Mom, is it worth it to do so?” Xia Wan looked at Yao Lili who was behind the iron bars.
”Would all these things not happen if she could detect her mother's thoughts earlier?” Xia Wan thought to herself.
”Are you coming here to blame me for destroying your status as a precious young lady?” Yao Lili looked quite calm as if she was not in prison at all.
Xia Wan could not figure out why her simple-minded mother, who only knew how to spend money, beautify her face, go shopping, and playing cards could be so determined. She could not help complaining, ”What about you? Are you satisfied with your fate?”
”It's better than being killed by someone but knowing nothing.” Yao Lili smiled a little. ”You asked me to endure. But did you know that the man had already prepared to kill me to make room for some other woman and their sons?”
The unformed baby she cut out the woman's stomach was a boy. At that time, Yao Lili felt so glad that she had done this in advance.
A touch of shock flashed across Xia Wan's eyes. ”Why didn't you tell me earlier?”
”Tell you?” Yao Lili jeered. ”Would it be useful to tell you? At first, when you knew that he had another woman outside, how did you persuade me?”
”Mom...” Xia Wan opened her mouth.
The eyes of Yao Lili looked a little sad. ”I had been stupid for the greater part of my life. In the end, I found that even my husband whom I depended on and my favorite daughter were so strange. You would never stand by my side. What you wanted was the power and money of the Xia family.”
”If that was the case...” She suddenly grinned. ”Then I would destroy everything you wanted!”
Walking out of prison, Xia Wan looked back with a complicated mood before entering the car. The metal door was firmly closed, and in the prison, it was another world without freedom. Xia Wan did not tell Yao Lili that her brother had already run away with the money. ”Just let her spend a year staying in prison peacefully...” Xia Wan thought.
”I will give her a sum of money when she is released from prison. That is all I can do for my mother.”
”Mom, I can understand you, but I cannot forgive you.” It was the last sentence that Xia Wan said to Yao Lili.
When A Miao heard about the news, she sighed with emotion.
”Will she be crazy when she is discharged from prison and knows that she has no money at all?” Reclining on the sofa, she flipped casually through a magazine. ”But after spending one year in prison, Yao Lili will change a bit at least.”
Shen Xinglan fed a piece of mango to her with a fork. ”You looked down upon the woman. She knew long ago that she could not trust either her son or her daughter, so she already saved a sum of money in Standard Chartered Bank in advance. When she is let out of prison, she can live a comfortable life even by the interest.”
”Where can she get so much money?” A Miao glared. ”Hasn't all the property of the Xia family been sealed up?”
Shen Xinglan patted her head. ”Do you think you are rich?”
”Me?” A Miao smiled silly. ”I suppose so!” She had the legacy Ji Zeming left her.
”Exactly.” Her smile tempted Shen Xinglan, so he came up to her and kissed her. ”I have invested all your money and bought some financial products, so it is the same as the private money Yao Lili has saved.”
”That woman is lucky enough. She was only too stupid to know other investment ways, so she kept buying houses.”
”The price of the houses she brought has increased by many times. She sold some of her houses before the bad thing happened to the Xia family.”
A Miao opened her mouth in amazement. ”So, does it mean that she can continue to enjoy her comfortable life when she is released from prison?”
”As long as she doesn't do something stupid, she should be able to do that.”
”Should I also learn how to manage money?” After a moment of silence, A Miao asked him all of a sudden.
Shen Xinglan's eyes were dark. ”What are you thinking about? I won't leave you.”
”I didn't mean that...”
”You don't need to think much.” Shen Xinglan interrupted her. ”You don't need to worry about anything else as long as you want to have a child.”
A Miao kicked him. ”I think I should have a job, or my daughter will look down upon me.”
A Miao thought, ”How can I let my daughter tell her friends in the kindergarten that her mother is a housewife?”
”You can tell her that you are an amazing thief.” Shen Xinglan said seriously.
A Miao squinted him. ”Are you sure?”
”Hehe... when it comes to this, how many things have you stolen?” Shen Xinglan suddenly found himself ignoring something important of his wife. ”Hasn't there anyone tried to find you later?”
A Miao shrugged. ”About five times? Ten times? I don't remember. I told KO that I want to retire for the time being.”
”I'm afraid that there is no opportunity for you to return.” Shen Xinglan changed the topic of conversation, ”Let's go. It's time to take a walk.”
When it turned dark, he went to the study room after A Miao fell asleep.
”Boss!” Shen I said a little excitingly, ”We have checked, the KO the lady said is exactly the head of the bounty hunter.”
Shen Xinglan's eyes flashed. He had heard of this person's name long before, but they had never had any contact.
”I think he should know the identity of Miss now.” Shen I complacently said, ”We are as famous as he!”
”Get in touch with him. It had better enable him to take the initiative to contact me.”
Something happened in the past, Shen Xinglan had to get even with him.
