Ren Jiawei clenched her fists around the paternity test results until her knuckles turned white and, with grief, turned to look at Xiaoqi sitting behind her.
She was terrified and afraid.
Xiaoqi still looked calmly in the direction of Chi Yundai, as serene as always.
In the defendant’s seats, Mu Zhendong and Dong Chuan also didn’t expect things to develop in this way, and they exchanged uncertain looks.
It wasn’t just the two from the Ren Family who were shaken by the paternity test.
"That is the end of my statement," Chi Yundai maintained his previous demeanor, his folded hands tapping lightly, as he glanced slightly at the judge and jury. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The jurors, dressed in their judge and lawyer robes, also reacted.
What was originally an ordinary traffic accident had unleashed such a huge ethical drama; Ren Wanxuan’s reaction just now had indirectly acknowledged that she had been aware of Xiaoqi’s identity.
Attempted murder was confirmed; a crime was committed.
Attempted crimes can be mitigated, but Chi Yundai’s subsequent statement that Ren Wanxuan had long known about Xiaoqi’s identity aggravated the situation, resulting in a sentence of four years’ imprisonment.
From the second time Ren Wanxuan was arrested, she might have considered the possibility of being sentenced, but she never anticipated being sentenced to four years.
In an instant, her heart turned cold, and she raised her eyes, instinctively looking toward Ren Qian, "Grandpa, Grandpa!"
Ren Qian sat stupefied in his seat, completely limp.
The Ren Wanxuan they, the Ren Family, had put so much effort into raising, turned out not to be one of their own.
Ren Qian’s vision began to blur.
Hearing the call, he instinctively lifted his head and looked towards Ren Wanxuan.
"Grandpa, save me," family members could appeal a second time, and Ren Wanxuan had never thought she would be convicted, let alone for four years. She thought she saw hope, "I don’t want to go to jail..."
She pleaded with Ren Qian.
Ren Qian rose from his seat, leaning on the railing in front of him like a withered tree, suddenly looking ten years older, "Wanxuan, when... when did you find out?"
Ren Wanxuan was frozen in place, her mouth open, wanting to speak, but the words didn’t come out.
She stepped back two paces.
When she was handcuffed this time and led away stumbling, she remembered Mu Zhendong and Dong Chuan, her face filled with terror, "Dong Chuan, uncle..."
Mu Zhendong came back to his senses.
Whether or not Ren Wanxuan was part of the Ji Family didn’t matter to him; he had no emotional ties to them.
