The trial of Hu Xiuru, Chu Hong, and Chu Jing's intentional murder of Chu Shang was held. The trial went smoothly and the result was fair. The three were found guilty of intentional homicide.
Chu Jing was sentenced to five years, and Hu Xiuru and Chu Hong were sentenced to six years for covering up the crime.
The three of them also need to compensate Chu Shang and Cheng Xiran for their physical and mental injuries.
The two murderers who carried out the murder were also sentenced to four years in prison and their illegal gains were confiscated.
The next day, the case of Chu Tongguang and Chu Tongxiang also came to court. The trial also went smoothly. After all, the evidence was conclusive, and Chu Tongguang and Chu Tongxiang were unable to reverse the case in court.
The two were eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison for misappropriation of funds and embezzlement of office. Their illegal gains were confiscated and fixed assets were auctioned to repay the embezzled public funds.
After the presiding judge announced the sentence, Aunt Chu cried and fainted on the spot. Chu Tongguang's family was completely devastated, and it would be difficult for Aunt Chu, her son and daughter to live in the future.
Chu Tongxiang's family is not much better. Her husband and children are crying together. The whole family originally accused her of getting money from the Chu family alone. Now she is not only in jail, but her property has been confiscated, and her family's wealth has been emptied.
Not even enough.
Second Aunt Chu, Chu Tongxiang's husband and children cried together. Chu Shang, Cheng Xiran, Xu Mingcheng and Aunt Xu all laughed. Aunt Xu laughed the most happily, and she burst into tears as she smiled.
She was so happy and excited that God finally sent the Chu family to prison, letting them reap the consequences and fend for themselves in prison.
Aunt Xu left the court happily and went to pay homage to Grandpa Chu Shang and his mother. She told them the good news and made them happy even under the Jiuquan.
Cheng Xiran asked Chu Shang: "Are you happy?"
"Happy."
Chu Shang looked at her seriously and thanked her: "Thank you."
"I don't want verbal thanks."
Cheng Xiran shook his head.
"Then what do you want?"
Chu Shang asked.
Cheng Xiran pointed at him: "Promise me with your body."
Chu Shang nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Cheng Xiran chuckled: "Don't regret it."
"Um."
Chu Shang nodded heavily.
Cheng Xiran raised her chin proudly. She could already imagine her parents' reaction when she brought Chu Shang home.
It will definitely make your jaw drop.
Cheng Xiran said he would go home, and took Chu Shang on the train back to City S the next day, leaving the Chu family company entirely to Xu Mingcheng, regardless of whether Xu Mingcheng could be a good CEO, let alone Xu Mingcheng
He clamored that he wanted to take a vacation, go on a blind date, and find a girlfriend.
It is impossible to take a vacation.
There is no time for a blind date.
Looking for a girlfriend?
Sorry, let's make do with the five-fingered girl first.
The high-speed train arrived in S city in two hours. Cheng Xiran took a taxi back to Cheng's house with Chu Shang without calling the driver.
When the servant came to open the door, he was startled when he saw Cheng Xiran. He was also startled when he saw that Cheng Xiran had brought a man back.
"Miss, why are you back suddenly?
Who is this?"
The servant was too surprised to speak.
"I'll be back when I'm done.
This is my boyfriend, Chu Shang."
While Cheng Xiran was answering, he had already pulled Chu Shang into the courtyard.
The Cheng family still lives in the villa that Ye Jingmei and Cheng's father bought when they got married. The couple has feelings for this home. Although the style of the villa has long been outdated and the walls of the home have been renovated, the couple is still unwilling to move.
When Cheng Xiran pulled Chu Shang in, the family was talking in the living room. Cheng Haoran and He Siyi also came back today. He Siyi had a four-dimensional surgery during the day. The hospital gave him four-dimensional photos. She and her mother-in-law were discussing who the child looked like.
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, they saw a pair of wall men walking in hand in hand. They were startled, and He Siyi felt like the baby in her belly was so frightened that she kicked her.
Cheng's father and Cheng Haoran were also shocked. Although they had learned about Cheng Xiran's boyfriend from her circle of friends, no one expected that she would suddenly bring him home and catch them off guard.
Cheng Haoran inexplicably felt that this scene looked familiar, as if he had done this before.
His sister is imitating him.
Apparently Father Cheng also thought of this familiar scene and glared at his son fiercely, as if blaming his son for bringing up his daughter.
Cheng Haoran touched his nose guiltily.
Father Cheng snorted lightly and said to his daughter with a straight face: "You still know how to come back!"
"Oh dad, I'm busy looking for a son-in-law for you right now.
Take a look, how is this son-in-law?"
Cheng Xiran took Chu Shang to the family, as if offering a treasure.
To be fair, Chu Shang's appearance is impeccable, with good looks, height and figure. Standing together with Cheng Xiran, they are a pair of lovers made in heaven.
But ever since the father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, he became more and more dissatisfied. Father Cheng felt that this boy was an eyesore standing next to his daughter, and he couldn't help but let out a dissatisfied snort from his nostrils.
But Ye Jingmei is different. She has a typical mother-in-law perspective. Just like He Siyi, she is also very pleased with this future son-in-law.
How pretty.
What good genes.
In the future, I will give her a grandson, and she will be able to kill the grandsons of other wives in an instant.
I couldn't be more satisfied.
"Shang Chu, right? Come on, come on, sit down quickly, Sister Rong will make tea."
Ye Jingmei no longer cared about her pregnant daughter-in-law, and quickly greeted her future son-in-law warmly.
The servant called Mrs. Rong responded and ran to the waiter to make tea for Shang Chu.
"Thank you, auntie."
Chu Shang thanked him politely and sat down on the spare sofa.
Father Cheng looked askance at Chu Shang, wanting to beat him out with a broom.
He Siyi glanced at her husband, and Cheng Haoran gave her a look that was looking good.
He Siyi:...How could she see the gloating in her husband's eyes?
"Chu Shang, are all your family matters settled?"
Ye Jingmei started chatting with Chu Shang.
"It's settled. Fortunately, Xiran helped me."
Chu Shang answered politely.
Father Cheng sneered: "A grown man needs a woman's help to deal with a few idiots."
"My uncle taught me that I am not as good as Xiran. She is the smartest girl I have ever met. I am honored to know her and I am grateful that she helped me when I was in trouble."
Chu Shang sincerely acknowledged and expressed his gratitude to Cheng Xiran.
Father Cheng snorted coldly.
Hypocrisy! Ye Jingmei was very comfortable to hear, she was an honest child with no rhetoric.
"Oh, people say that there are specializations in the arts. If you are not good at it, Xiran will be good at it. If you are good at Xiran, he will not be good at it. The two of them must complement each other in order to last."
Ye Jingmei smiled.
"Ah!"
Cheng's father sneered again: "What can't my daughter do?
I have been a top student since I was a child, and the awards and certificates I received are all hung on several walls and filled with several bookcases."
Cheng Xiran covered his face.
Dad, please stop talking and save some face for me.
You have never seen all kinds of trophies in Chu Shang's house that couldn't be filled and were piled into the basement.
Your daughter is just a scumbag compared to others, okay?
"Ahem! Dad, stop talking.
I’m really not good at doing scientific research.”
This was the first time that Cheng Xiran said that he was not good in front of his father.
Cheng's father threw it away with a glance: "It's nonsense, but you don't have time to do it. If you concentrate on scientific research, the Nobel Prize will not be easy."
Cheng Xiran:...Cheng Haoran:...The brother and sister both covered their faces, Dad, is your filter too thick?
