"What else could there be? Meng Ke has always wanted to be acquitted, so she insisted on appealing to the second trial. But even if the result of the second trial will not change, she will still be sentenced to prison. So her mother is coming here now, and she must be asking you to withdraw the case." Lu
He whispered in Rong Shu's ear.
Although his voice was low, Mrs. Meng still heard it and looked a little embarrassed, "Miss Rong, um... Mr. Lu is right, I am looking for you for this reason."
"Look, I was right." Lu Qi spread his hands.
Rong Shu rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Mrs. Meng with a distant and cold smile, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Meng, I will not withdraw the lawsuit."
Mrs. Meng didn't expect her refusal to be so direct. Her face stiffened and she felt a little uncomfortable.
But soon, Mrs. Meng calmed down her expression and begged: "Miss Rong, I know that Xiaoke went too far this time, but she already knew that she was wrong, so can you..."
"No!" Rong Shu interrupted her expressionlessly, "Mrs. Meng, you said she knew she was wrong, then let me ask you, why doesn't she apologize to me? And you parents, since you also know her
Wrong, but why didn’t you say anything?”
"That's right." Lu Qi hugged the back of his head and said leisurely: "It wasn't until now in the final trial that you came to see the baby after knowing that Meng Ke was going to be convicted. You didn't even bring any gifts, just to let the baby go.
Meng Ke has absolutely no sincerity at all, and he is not afraid of being laughed at if he speaks out."
"..." Mrs. Meng tightly grasped the handle of the bag with both hands. She was so embarrassed by the two people that she lost all her dignity.
She originally thought she would be able to talk things through Rong Shu easily.
I didn't expect these two young men to be so hard-hearted.
"Okay, let's go." Rong Shu didn't want to get entangled with Mrs. Meng, so she said to Lu Qi.
Just when the two were about to turn around, Mrs. Meng suddenly took Rong Shu's hand and said, "Miss Rong, I beg you, please let my daughter go."
Rong Shu frowned and wanted to take her hand out.
But Mrs. Meng held on tightly and refused to let go, "Miss Rong, for the sake of my hard pleas, just agree. As long as you agree, I will take Xiaoke to your door to apologize to you in person. Rong
Miss, please.”
"Mrs. Meng, I have made it very clear just now that I will not withdraw the lawsuit, so it is useless for you to beg me. Can you please let it go?" Rong Shu said impatiently.
Mrs. Meng seemed not to understand, and looked at her like a betrayed person, "Miss Rong, are you really so heartless?"
"Is our baby heartless? It's obviously Meng Ke who brought it on himself, okay?" Lu Qi laughed angrily at Mrs. Meng's words.
But Mrs. Meng ignored him and only focused on Rong Shu, "Miss Rong, can't I kneel down to you?"
With that said, she let go of Rong Shu's hand and really knelt down towards Rong Shu.
Rong Shu and Lu Qi were both shocked by her actions. After reacting, they quickly helped the person up.
"Mrs. Meng, don't do this!" Rong Shu rubbed her temples, feeling very headache.
Lu Qi also curled his lips, "Mrs. Meng, do you know this is moral kidnapping?"
If you don't agree, you have to kneel down. How is this different from a scoundrel? Moreover, this is not only a moral kidnapping, but also a threat and coercion.
Sure enough, she and Meng Ke are mother and daughter, and with a mother who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, it's not surprising that Meng Ke behaves like this.
Mrs. Meng still ignored Lu Qi. Seeing that Rong Shu's expression was a little loose, she rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to ask: "Miss Rong, did you agree?"
Rong Shu's lips moved, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Meng, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Mrs. Meng breaking away from Lu Qi's support and preparing to kneel down to her again.
But this time Mrs. Meng was helped up before she could kneel down.
Not Lu Qi, not Rong Shu, but Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin pointed at Rong Shu and accused her indignantly: "Miss Rong, you have gone too far. How can you let the elders kneel down for you!"
The corners of Rong Shu's mouth twitched speechlessly.
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky, "Hey, hey, hey, you are blind. When did my dear let Mrs. Meng kneel down? It was obviously Mrs. Meng who knelt down to my dear, okay?"
"Impossible." Gu Manyin looked unbelieving.
Mrs. Meng patted the back of her hand and said, "Manyin, Mr. Lu is right, I knelt down myself."
"Aunt, why?" Gu Manyin looked at Mrs. Meng in disbelief.
Mrs. Meng's face was full of sadness, "For Xiao Ke, as long as Miss Rong is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, Xiao Ke will be free, so..."
"So Auntie, you will kneel down to her?"
"Yes." Mrs. Meng nodded, glanced at Rong Shu, and wiped her tears, "But Miss Rong refused to agree."
"I understand." Gu Manyin pursed her lower lip, and then looked at Rong Shu dissatisfied, "Miss Rong, my aunt has already knelt down to you to beg for mercy, but you are not willing to agree. You are too heartless.
Bar?"
"Am I ruthless?" Rong Shu raised her hand, lazily tucked her hair behind her ears, and showed off her charm with every gesture, "I don't agree to let Meng Ke go because I am ruthless. So when Meng Ke spread rumors about me, you
Why don't you accuse her of being vicious?"
"I..." Gu Manyin choked, looking a little embarrassed.
Lu Qi sneered, "So, Gu Manyin, when you accuse my dear, you should also think about whether you are qualified or not."
A flash of humiliation flashed in Gu Manyin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She bit her lower lip and said, "Even if Xiao Ke did something wrong at the beginning, Xiao Ke has been punished now. It's not enough that there are so many people scolding Xiao Ke on the Internet.
Well, my aunt also knelt down to you, can't you forgive Xiaoke?"
"No!" Rong Shu spat out two words coldly, "Who is Meng Ke to me? Why should I forgive her?"
"That's why she hurt the baby. You didn't ask her to apologize to the baby, but instead asked the baby to forgive. The baby is already very kind if she doesn't pay back double the amount." Lu Qi hugged Rong Shu's shoulders.
, said sarcastically.
"By the way, I almost forgot." Rong Shu stared at Gu Manyin without any emotion in her eyes, "Miss Gu, Meng Ke is in this situation because of you, so the person who should really save her is
It’s you who is right.”
As she said that, she turned her attention to Mrs. Meng, "Mrs. Meng, instead of begging me, you might as well ask Miss Gu. After all, she is so kind and will definitely help."
"Bye bye." Lu Qi waved to the two of them and carried Rong Shu into the court.
Gu Manyin didn't dare to look at Mrs. Meng, "Auntie, I know Xiaoke is doing it for me, but..."
"You don't need to say anything." Mrs. Meng wiped her tears and interrupted her, "I know Xiaoke asked you for help, but you couldn't help."
Hearing this, Gu Manyin felt happy, and then heard Mrs. Meng say again: "But I hope you stay away from Xiaoke in the future. Xiaoke is really not suitable to be your friend."
"Aunt, what do you mean?" Gu Manyin's face turned pale and her voice trembled, "Are you blaming me?"
Mrs. Meng took a breath, "Yes, I was blaming you. If you hadn't stopped me suddenly just now, maybe I would have knelt down twice more, and Rong Shu would have softened her heart and agreed to let Xiaoke go. But because of you, everything went to waste."
, so Xiaoke cannot be released, and it is also your responsibility."
After saying that, she ignored Gu Manyin and left directly.
Gu Manyin's usually gentle face suddenly became distorted.
She never expected that Mrs. Meng would actually resent her for stopping her from kneeling.
How could a wife of a low-class family dare to hold a grudge against her?
