On the day of court, the wind was sunny.

Xia Wan and Huo Qing entered the No. 2 Courtyard at the last minute.

It seems like a different life.

This was her first feeling when she saw Huo Dongting again on the day of the press conference.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that Huo Dongting, the gentle young master who once received praise from the upper class, would now become a prisoner?

Perhaps because he was in the detention center for a while, Huo Dongting no longer disguised himself and removed his usual gentle image. It seemed that all had changed. However, when he glanced over, Xia Wanjue, some things that had been engraved in his bones, remained unchanged.

For example, Huo Dongting's sinisterness.

The eyes have always been the best reflective of people's hearts.

Xia Wan squinted her eyes slightly, her eyes swept across the solemn court, and the hope in her heart became stronger

She hopes that Huo Dongting can be sentenced to death.

In fact, in her heart, Huo Dongting...is not to be cherished!

Of course...

"He will not be sentenced to death." The man beside him sounded down deliberately and pressed his ears.

Xia Wan was stunned and subconsciously blurted out: "Why?"

Soon, this question was confirmed.

The drunk driving man who hit Ji An ten years ago died in an accident a week ago, which can correct Huo Dongting to buy the murderer. There is insufficient evidence for the murder. Even the case of his rape of Zhao Wanyan was found to be insufficient because Zhao Wanyan refused to attend, and there was only confession but no actual evidence.

However, the evidence for Rong Cheng's attempted intentional homicide and the use of others to kidnap are conclusive.

In the end, Huo Dongting was sentenced to life imprisonment in court and deprived of political rights for life.

The verdict was announced to end and the court was dispersed.

The cold eyes passed over the crowd and fell on the dock. A few seconds later, Huo Qing took back, held Xia Wan's hand, and whispered casually: "Huo Dongting... For him, compared to the death penalty, the torture of dignity trampling on him is the most unbearable for him, and it would make him feel uncomfortable than killing him."

He knew him, so when he learned that Mrs. Huo still did not give up and secretly found someone to clear Huo Dongting's case, and the one he was looking for was her former suitor. Now, a person who has retreated but still has the right to speak, he did not stop him.

because……

As long as he goes to prison, there is no room for Huo Dongting to choose, and the Huo family cannot help.

What he wanted was that Huo Dongting's life was worse than death.

When Xia Wan heard his words, she instantly understood.

Indeed, for those who were so proud that Huo Dongting wanted to completely trample Huo Qingsui under his feet, he was eventually sent to prison by his competitors, and his dignity was trampled on. That kind of life would only lead to life worse than death.

"I understand." Xia Wan smiled relieved by holding the man's hand.

In any case, this matter is completely over.

Huo Dongting, who didn't want to be sent to prison, walked to the two of them before taking them away.

Xia Wan and Huo Qing both looked faint.

His hands were handcuffed and he was wearing a nude uniform. Huo Dongting stared at the two of them with his lips pursed, and suddenly he laughed.

With a light sneer, he paused: "You won, Huo Qingsui."

He lowered his head and glanced at the handcuffs, raised his eyes again, what else he wanted to say, but from the corner of his eyes he caught a glimpse of a figure not far away. The next moment, he smiled unscrupulously again.

Huo Qingsui, do you really think you have won completely?

Oh……

I still have the last piece waiting for you, no, my wife waiting for you.

Huo Qingsui, wait.

A sarcasm evoked involuntarily at the corner of his mouth. Huo Dongting finally said something, but the prison guard took it into the car.

Captured by Xiawan.

Frowning, she was wary: "Huo Qingsui, just now..."

"Wanwan!"

A familiar voice rang behind itself.

Xia Wan's body was slightly stiff.

"dad……"

She turned around and Xia Zhengtao, who had not seen for a while, appeared in sight, and beside him was Jiang Manni, whose belly was obviously much bigger.

"Wanwan!" Xia Zhengtao walked over quickly, looked her up and down, and finally sighed with pain, "Are you very busy lately? Seeing that you have lost weight, you don't call your home, and you can't wait for you to come back to have a meal..."

He talked, Xia Wan felt warmer.

"Dad..." She acted as if she was sucking her nose, subconsciously acting like she used to be. "I'm sorry, I'm so busy lately and forgot to call you. My fault."

Xia Zhengtao looked like he knew she would be like this, and his face was full of doting.

However, when he thought of another thing, the smile on his face still froze.

"Wanwan..." He wanted to speak but stopped.

Xia Wan reacted instantly, pursed her lips, and she made a decision.

"Dad, do you have time? Can I invite you to have tea?" She smiled slightly and got a shot in advance. "I... I still have something to tell you, I'll just be with you, can I?"

After all, Xia Zhengtao nodded: "...Okay."

However, he did not see Jiang Manni's sudden change in face.

Xia Wan didn't notice it either. At this moment, all her thoughts were on what she was going to talk about next. After thinking about it, she looked at Huo Qingsui again: "Huo Qingsui, you..."

"Qingsui."

Before he finished speaking, another voice that was not unfamiliar came over.

In his sight, Huo Rong, who seemed to have grown a lot aged suddenly.

He walked over quickly, and throughout the whole process, his complicated eyes only fell on Huo Qingsui.

"After so many years, my father and son have never spoken well," he paused, a little difficult to speak. "Can you... talk about something, something..."

Huo Qing looked at Huo Rong with a dark look.

Fifteen minutes later.

Xia Wan and Xia Zhengtao sat in a private room, Huo Qing and Huo Rong were in the opposite box, while Jiang Manni stayed in the hall.

"Wanwan," Xia Zhengtao spoke first, "I know that the Huo Dongting case was held today, so I'm worried, so I'll come and see him with my own eyes and I also think I can see you."

In fact, if he doesn't say it, Xia Wan can guess it.

But the more this happens, the more guilt she feels.

She did not go back to Xia’s house for a while and didn’t contact him. She knew in her heart that being busy might be an excuse, but the real reason was that she didn’t know how to deal with the matters behind her life.

Xia Zhengtao's appearance today made her realize that it would be bad if she dragged on it, just like her inner demon.

Must face it.

Having an idea in his heart, Xia Wan pursed her lips and apologized: "Dad, I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you recently."

Xia Zhengtao smiled and waved his hand: "Dad is not here to ask you to apologize."

He actually knows some reasons.

but……

A dark look flashed in his eyes, and he shook off those thoughts. He picked up a snack for her and said calmly: "It was only in the past few days that Ye... Ye Qing is back? Sorry, Wanwan, during that time, Dad... was not in Qingcheng, no..."

Xia Wan felt more sore as she heard it, and she blinked: "Dad, what are you saying? You don't have to say sorry to me."

Xia Zhengtao laughed and stopped simply.

As if all the courage was raised, Xia Wan looked at him and said, "She... was sent back to the Bo family in Ancheng."

Xia Zhengtao's hand shook.

"dad……"

"It's okay, it's okay..." Xia Zhengtao shook his head and licked his lips unconsciously. He asked, "Then..."

However, when he spoke, he couldn't say anything, even though he had already prepared before coming.

Can……

"Dad," Xia Wan poured him a cup of tea, and then looked down at the teacup. After a few seconds, she said in a hoarse voice, "Mom... Mom has her whereabouts, and she should still... live..."

"Pu"

The tea cup fell on the table, and warm water splashed everywhere.

My throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, Xia Wan felt uncomfortable and handed over a tissue.

"dad……"
