The lawyer smiled and said, “Mr. Lu Shaoren, you’re guilty of attempted homicide. We’re not the prosecutor. It’s the judicial officials that will make this decision, not us. We can only do our best to reduce your prison sentence.”


  “You’re determined for me to serve a prison sentence?”


  Lu Beichuan thought of Ye Zhen’s earnest teachings. “If you do something illegal, you deserve to be punished by the law.”


  After saying all this, Lu Beichuan was already at the end of his patience. His tone was flat as he said, “If you don’t sign……”


  “Wait!” Lu Shaoren took a deep breath. “Will you let me off if I sign?”


  Lu Beichuan coldly answered, “You don’t have any other choice.”


  Lu Shaoren gritted his teeth. “Fine, I’ll sign!”


  The lawyer handed him a pen. Lu Shaoren hesitated a moment before signing his name on the document.

  Lu Beichuan casually glanced at it. He didn’t linger here and strode out of the police station.

  The day after tomorrow was his wedding. He had more important things to do than waste time on Lu Shaoren.

  He took out his phone and sent out a text message.

  ***

  Ye Zhen, who had been eating, heard a text alert. She took out her phone and saw that it was a text message from Lu Beichuan. She wasn’t too surprised when she read his message.

  — You don’t need to wear high heels on our wedding day. I prepared flats for you.

  Ye Zhen curled her lips. Was there any bride that didn’t wear high heels on her wedding day?

  She lazily responded, “Oh,” before putting her phone away.

  Ye Qing looked at her with a burning gaze. “Lu Beichuan?”


  “Nope.” Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow. “Just a text scam.”


  ***

  On the morning of the 10th, Lu Beichuan’s eyelids kept twitching, but under Mother Lu’s urgings to hurry up, he didn’t have time to brood over it.

  The wedding was held at a hotel. Because of the limited time to plan, the Lu family had simply reserved the entire hotel. The staff had been working on the wedding’s decorations for the past half month. The seats on both sides were filled with relatives and friends of the Lu family and Ye family as well as close business partners.

  Lu Beichuan was wearing a tux and standing tall on the stage. He was holding a bouquet and looking in the direction of the main doors. He looked handsomer than usual.

  There were many people repeatedly congratulating Old Master Lu as well as Mrs. Lu. Mother Ye, who was sitting next to Mrs. Lu, couldn’t conceal her happiness. Because of the Lu family, she was able to meet people today that she normally wouldn’t be qualified to meet or talk to.

  The main doors were pushed open. The bride was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and high heels. With her hand around Father Ye’s arm, she slowly walked towards Lu Beichuan.

  Father Ye was in high spirits. There were countless guests here that had once looked down on his existence, but now it was their turn to look up at him.

  As soon as he thought about how the Ye family would soon officially become in-laws with the Lu family, the smile on Father Ye’s face became even more exuberant.

  Stepping up onto the stage, Father Ye cleared his throat. Just as he was about to say a few words, Lu Beichuan coldly looked at the bashful blushing bride, who had her head lowered, and asked, “Where is she?”


  The people close enough to hear his words were stunned. They didn’t understand the meaning of Lu Beichuan’s words.

  Father Ye was the only one that quickly recovered and said with a smile, “Isn’t Qingqing right here? Ah, this daughter of mine……”
