The Song Residence’s guest house.

After discussing the case with Ji Baijian, Song Zhizhi took the initiative to invite him. “Stay for lunch.”

Ji Baijian declined. “No, I’m busy.”

Song Zhizhi pouted.

Couldn’t they have a little flirtation after their discussions were over?

She watched as Ji Baijian got up to leave.

She looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

Ji Baijian glanced at her before he left, clearly smiling, but he still left.

Such a cold-blooded man.

Song Zhizhi was upset.

But in reality, she had plenty of things to do as well.

The pressing matter was to set the date for the second hearing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She thought for a moment and picked up her phone to dial. The other end answered in a very displeased tone, “What is it?”

“Dad.” Song Zhizhi tenderly called him.

“It’s no use begging me now. The court has made its decision, and I can’t do anything.” Song Shan coldly stated, probably still angry at her stubbornness. Song Zhizhi bit her lip, “Dad, I know I was wrong.”

The other end fell silent.

“I thought I could get lucky, but now I realize the law is fair. However, the three-year sentence is indeed too long. I want to apply for a sentence reduction at the second hearing.” Song Zhizhi implored, “Dad, please, I don’t want to be in prison for so long.”

Song Shan was furious, “So you finally realize now! I advised you but you didn’t listen. If you had behaved well in court, I could have kept your sentence within 2 years, maybe even 1 year! And there might have been a chance for probation. Now that everything is decided, you want me to help you? Song Zhizhi, your father is getting old and can’t stand such torment from you!”

“I’m sorry, Dad.” Song Zhizhi apologized sincerely, “I’ll definitely behave well at the second hearing.”

Song Shan fell silent again.

Song Zhizhi knew very well that her father would hardly ever refuse her requests.

After estimated 2 minutes, Song Shan said, “Zhizhi, your father has always given in to you, and this time I will agree as well, but I don’t want something like this to happen again.”

“I’m definitely going to reform myself!” Song Zhizhi promised.

“I’ll notify you.”

“Yes.”

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and slowly smiled.

At the second hearing, some people would be faced with their utter humiliation!

The Song Family’s main house.

Song Shan hung up the phone, with a very grave expression on his face.

Nie Wenzhi was next to him and asked caringly, “What’s wrong? That was Zhizhi who called, wasn’t

“Yes.” Song Shan nodded, “After the court’s decision was out, she immediately regretted it and asked me to help her file for a sentence reduction.”

Nie Wenzhi quickly said, “Well, let’s file the appeal. As long as Zhizhi cooperates, Xiaofei and I will definitely help her. She’s my daughter too. It hurts me to think that she’ll be facing a prison sentence.”

Song Shan looked at his wife, let out a helpless sigh, “This is all because you and Xiaofei were wronged. I’ll make it up to you in the future.”

“Husband, we’re a family. You’re not allowed to say such things that make us seem like outsiders.” Nie Wenzhi feigned anger, but she looked alluring.

Song Shan was truly content with his current wife. He had married her because she cared for his children sincerely, even though it took him a long time to forget his late first wife. Now after many years, he had truly grown fond of Nie Wenzhi from the bottom of his heart.

Understanding, diplomatic, and considerate.

Song Shan couldn’t help but hold Nie Wenzhi in his arms, “As long as I, Song Shan, am still around, I will never let you suffer.”

Nie Wenzhi leaned gently into Song Shan’s arms, “As long as I have your promise, I’m satisfied for life.”

After sharing a moment of affection, Song Shan left the house to personally handle Zhizhi’s appeal process.

When Nie Wenzhi returned to her room, Nie Xiaofei came knocking.

“Song Zhizhi finally confessed her guilt. ” Nie Wenzhi scoffed, “She really thought she could win against me.”

“She’s already been sentenced, mom, who cares if she admits her mistakes?” Nie Xiaofei scorned, her mood obviously on a high.

“What you don’t understand is, in Song Shan’s eyes, Song Zhizhi confessing her guilt and being sentenced are not the same. Now that she has confessed, Song Shan will no longer have any concerns.

He will feel guilty towards us in the future, and treat us better!”

“Without Song Zhizhi, the world seems so much better!” Nie Xiaofei exclaimed excitedly, “The news just reported that Ji Baijian tried his best to defend Song Zhizhi, I don’t know what magic Song Zhizhi cast on him! When Song Zhizhi admits her guilt at the second hearing, I wonder what Ji Baijian will say?!”

“I did not expect Ji Baijian to have feelings for Song Zhizhi.” Nie Wenzhi frowned and muttered.

Originally, she had planned on having Nie Xiaofei marry him, but now that Nie Xiaofei and Yi Wenhan were acting like a couple… she obviously couldn’t ruin Nie Xiaofei’s future with Yi Wenhan.

She looked at Nie Xiaofei, seeing her triumphant look.

Her heart hardened.

Although she had raised her from a young age, when it came to her interest, she always had a clear understanding!

“Mom, why are you looking at me like that?” Nie Xiaofei was astonished.

Nie Wenzhi suddenly returned to reality.

She smiled, becoming exceedingly gentle, “You’ve been wronged in all this. After this is over, mother will definitely make it up to you. Just tell me what you want.”

“Anything?” Nie Xiaofei asked.

“Of course.”

“I have liked a necklace from SW House for a while now, but it’s a limited edition and quite expensive.

I was afraid mom would scold me, so I never dared to mention it…”

“After this matter is settled, I’ll take you to buy it.”

“Mom, you’re too good to me!” Delighted, Nie Xiaofei lunged into Nie Wenzhi’s arms.

Nie Wenzhi held Nie Xiaofei, her gaze intensifying.

This is the last request I’m granting for you. After that, do not blame your mother for being ruthless. Blame it on your poor birth conditions.

You were destined to be just a pawn.

You are useful, you’re used.. You’re not, you’re discarded!
