Chapter 36 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 16)

Soon enough, Mei Li’s matters were clarified.
It turned out that Mei Li was sent back to her hometown.
Her parents knew that she knew a rich man, so they forced her to buy a house for her brother.
After she was unable to get the money, they married her to a divorced man because that man gave them 180,000 yuan.

Of course, Mei Li refused and wanted to leave.
However, even if the man was a little older, he was good-looking and was willing to spend money on Mei Li.
As Mei Li’s vanity was greatly satisfied, along with the pressure from her parents, she got married.

At the beginning, the family, including Mei Li’s husband, treated Mei Li very well, apart from her mother-in-law watching her carefully.
What else did she want? Mei Li was pretty, she went to university, and had been living in big cities for many years.
Her words, deeds, and thoughts were very different from the usual coquettish bitches.
Because of this, the man had spent 180,000 yuan to marry her.

If Mei Li had been smart, she would have tried to win over her husband and in-laws so she could live a stable life.
But, Mei Li had gotten used to the lifestyle of living in a big city and looked down on this broken place.
In addition, after she got married, she found that her husband was not as good as his beautiful face.
His education level and ideologies differed from hers, so they had nothing in common.
After a long time, Mei Li regretted it a bit.

No matter how nice that man was to her, Mei Li was always cold, not saying a word to him all day long.
She was also very impatient when she was faced with the man’s affectionate behaviour.

Her husband was not a good person in the first place and had a history of domestic violence.
His previous wife couldn’t stand it, so she divorced him.
At the beginning, he really liked Mei Li.
But, since Mei Li had been indifferent and disgusted, her husband became impatient.
Her in-laws also had a lot to say about it.

When she refused her husband’s request for intimacy again, he became angry and slapped Mei Li and forced her.
After they finished, he saw Mei Li had a crooked chin and nose, and was disgusted.
“I thought you were a natural beauty, but you turned out to be a modified product.”

Mei Li had no money to fix her face, so she could only try and fix it up herself in the mirror.
But, she couldn’t fix it back to the way it was, so her face was a little distorted.
Her husband disliked her even more.
Gradually, he stopped returning home.
He occasionally came back late full of alcohol.

Mei Li was so angry that she couldn’t help but quarrel with her husband, only to get hit and insulted.
She also had to deal with the cold and disgusted gazes of her in-laws.
As time went on, it grew more serious.
Eventually, Mei Li became pregnant, but that didn’t stop them.
Finally, one day, Mei Li fell down the stairs and had a miscarriage, but the man didn’t even look at her and walked away.

In the end, the in-laws heard the movement and ran in to see what was going on, only to find Mei Li lying in a pool of blood.
They rushed her to the hospital.

Mei Li had a miscarriage and needed an operation.
She called her husband, but nobody answered.
She then called her parents and they said that it was unlucky and refused to come.

After the operation was finished, Mei Li’s husband finally showed up and paid the money.
He then walked away without even looking at Mei Li.

After Mei Li was discharged, she decided to leave this place no matter what since she faced neglect from her husband and unprovoked accusations and complaints from her in-laws where she never said a word back.
On seeing this, her in-laws thought she had been beaten enough that she would stop resisting.
They gradually relaxed their vigilance.

One day, Mei Li’s husband went out to drink and her in-laws went to a relative’s house to have wedding wine.
Mei Li was left at home alone.
She took advantage of this opportunity to search the house for money and then prepared to leave.

Her mother-in-law returned to the house to pick up something and saw her stealing money.
She was furious and yelled at Mei Li.

During the argument, Mei Li accidentally pushed her mother-in-law to the ground.
Her mother-in-law hit her head against the edge of the marble steps and started bleeding.

Mei Li turned around, frightened, and ran away.

In the end, her mother-in-law died from excessive blood loss.
Her husband’s family called the police and Mei Li became a wanted murderer.

“Now, Mei Li has been returned to her hometown,” said Wei Ding Shan.
“I have consulted a lawyer.
In this case, she can be defended on the crime of negligence, leading to death.
It is only in this specific situation.
They still need to have a deeper understanding of the case to make a decision.”

Jiang Shan frowned.
Although Mei Li experienced something pitiful, she was the one who was at fault in the end.
If she had obtained money, she could have lived in peace and security and had not ended up like this today.
“Dad, the way she has turned out today is partially my responsibility.
Now, the only thing I can do is to hire a good lawyer for her.
As for everything else, there is nothing I can do.”

Wei Ding Shan was relieved when he heard what Jiang Shan said.
“It’s good that you think so.
Don’t worry.
Lawyer Yang has been a lawyer for more than twenty years and he has dealt with many similar cases.
If this case is handed to him, you can rest assured!”

Jiang Shan nodded.
“Thank you, dad! Mei Li did kill someone, so you don’t have to make things difficult for lawyer Yang.”

Wei Ding Shan nodded.

Mei Li was taken into custody.
No one in the Mei family paid any attention to her, let alone send a lawyer for her.
Mei Li had been mentally prepared for this, so when she found out, she just laughed.
From the start, she had never counted on her parents or brothers.
Her only hope was Jiang Shan.

Mei Li regrets it now and regrets taking the 500,000 yuan.
She couldn’t lift her head in front of Jiang Shan! She regretted her impatience, appearing too early and offending Jiang Shan’s mother.
She ended up in a situation like this!

At any rate, she shouldn’t be like this!

If she was given another chance.
If…

All Mei Li could do now was hug her legs and curl up in the corner, annoyed.

One day, the prison guard told her that someone had hired a lawyer to defend her.
The lawyer would come see her soon to understand the case and prepare her.

Mei Li stood up excitedly.
“Is it Jiang Shan? Is it him? Please, let me see him!”

The prison guard glanced at her like she was a fool, then turned and left.

But Mei Li was so happy.
She knew that Jiang Shan still had her in his heart! Mei Li swept away her previous downcast attitude and began thinking.
After she saw Jiang Shan, what should she say and do to receive the greatest amount of pity from Jiang Shan?

She kept practicing laughing, crying, and talking softly.
She was immersed in her own world.
She didn’t know that, to everyone else, she appeared very strange.

But to Mei Li’s disappointment, Jiang Shan did not show up until the day of the trial.
Although the lawyer who defended Mei Li was very good, the evidence was conclusive.
In the end, Mei Li was sentenced to 15 years in prison for intentional homicide.

When Mei Li heard the verdict, she fell into her seat, pale.

Lawyer Yang sighed.
“If you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can appeal.”

Mei Li stared blankly.
“You said that the verdict has come.
Will Jiang Shan come to see me?”

Lawyer Yang sighed helplessly when he saw that she was still worried about this.
“I’ll pass it on.
Do you want to appeal?”

“Appeal? Of course I want to appeal? I didn’t kill anyone.
She was out of luck.
It wasn’t my fault.” Mei Li thought that this lawyer couldn’t do anything.
When she saw Jiang Shan, she would definitely ask Jiang Shan to find a good lawyer for her!

He heard that Mei Li wanted to see him, but Jiang Shan didn’t want to see her at all.
Little Moon had a low fever these past few days.
A baby couldn’t say anything when she felt uncomfortable, so she would only cry.
Jiang Shan was very distressed.
He hugged and coaxed her all night long.
He was tired.
How could he have the energy to see Mei Li?

Besides, he didn’t have to think too hard about what Mei Li would say.
She would just talk about old feelings and hope that Jiang Shan would rescue her.
He already hired lawyer Yang for her and a sentence of 15 years was pretty good.
What else could be done?

Mei Li couldn’t wait for Jiang Shan, so she asked lawyer Yang to forward a few letters.

Jiang Shan opened the letter and it was exactly as he thought.
He took a cursory glance at it, then put it aside.
“Lawyer Yang, you don’t need to pass on her letters in the future.
No matter what she says, I won’t see her.”

Lawyer Yang frowned.
“I’d advise you to meet her, soothe her, and convince her not to talk nonsense.
Recently, some media somehow learned of Mei Li’s case and were very interested in her past.
They asked to interview her.
I am afraid that she will say some things that will be detrimental to you.
I have been in contact with her for some time and I think there is something wrong with her, like she has some kind of paranoid personality.” Lawyer Yang pointed to his head.

Wei Ding Shan frowned and looked at Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan shook his head.
“I won’t go see her.
She didn’t think she did anything wrong, so she isn’t afraid of being accused of things.
If she wants to talk nonsense, let her.
I have a clear conscience about what I haven’t done.”

Wei Ding Shan glanced at Jiang Shan approvingly.
“You are right! You just need to talk to Yue Er about this matter first.
It is better for her to hear about it from you than from another source.”

Jiang Shan thought about it seriously, then nodded.

That evening, when he got back from work, Jiang Shan first went to wash his hands and changed his clothes.
He took Little Moon from Wei Yue Er and hugged her for a while.

Wei Yue Er and Li Su sat on the sofa, folding clothes.
Although the family had hired a nanny, Wei Yue Er still liked to help out with things for Little Moon.

Jiang Shan held Little Moon and played with her for a while.
When he saw Little Moon was starting to get hungry, he called over nanny Yue to breastfeed Little Moon.

Little Moon started crying when she was passed over to nanny Yue.

Jiang Shan was distressed and hurriedly took Little Moon back.
“Okay, dad will feed Little Moon.
Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
