Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: Can’t Outplay His Son 7
After the merging of the two worlds, Xue Changqing’s fate was completely altered. He was just a low-level employee not acknowledged by the Xue family. However, the robots had input some “codes” into his life, making him willing to go through fire and water for Xia Yanyan, even though he was eventually recognized by the family.
So, in the new world after the merge, Xue Changqing remained Xia Yanyan’s accomplice in kidnapping Ye Xingguang, and both had to face trial.
On the day of the trial, Ye Xingguang didn’t go, but the verdict was promptly delivered to her ears.
Xia Yanyan had orchestrated two kidnapping cases consecutively, one involving Xia Miaomiao and another illegitimate half-sister, and the other kidnapping Ye Xingguang, which was severe, resulting in a ten-year prison sentence.
However, considering Xia Yanyan suffered from chronic myeloid leukemia and was once a national treasure, the country couldn’t lose face. Therefore, the Supreme Court decided to allow Xia Yanyan to be treated at Zhongshan Sanatorium and mustn’t leave it even for a step during her treatment.
This meant that Zhongshan Sanatorium was her prison, and whether she recovered or not, she couldn’t leave it for ten years.
This was the nation’s last respect for its former treasure, and it was also the final dignity that Xia Ye Zhao secured through many connections.
Xue Changqing, on the other hand, was directly sent to prison and sentenced to seven years, executed immediately in court.
Although Xia Yanyan wasn’t sent to prison, merely to the sanatorium, Ye Xingguang was content.
For Xia Yanyan, spending the next ten years in the sanatorium, unable to become the most dazzling presence in the world again, was worse than death. Besides, she had to endure the torment of illness.
Ye Xingguang knew that her elder brother still cherished Xia Yanyan greatly. Upon learning of her illness, he searched everywhere for bone marrow. Now, he fought for her last dignity; oh well, that’s the kind of person her brother was, cherishing his sister. Otherwise, she wouldn’t like her brother this much.
As long as her brother never asked her to donate bone marrow to Xia Yanyan from start to finish, she would be perfectly satisfied.
Today was a day worth celebrating, and she decided to have hotpot!
Even if her husband had a grumpy face, she still wanted to have hotpot!
Even if it meant going to the hospital to get an IV drip afterwards, she wanted to eat hotpot!
A life without hotpot is simply imperfect; anyway, she was going to eat hotpot!
Finally, her husband compromised, allowing her to enjoy hotpot, but strictly controlled the ingredients, personally overseeing the kitchen at the hotpot restaurant, which stressed chef Alexander in the kitchen.
Who does that, goes to a restaurant for hotpot, and supervises the entire kitchen process?
But the owner behind this nationally famous hotpot chain wanted to curry favor with Ye Junqing, so he didn’t dare to refuse. Upon hearing that Ye Junqing wanted to oversee the back kitchen, he personally came over to accompany him.
At the front, Ye Xingguang booked a big private room and invited Tang Zhou and Leng Chenmo, as well as Mo Fei and Xiao Mi Hu, to enjoy hotpot together.
Xiao Huahua couldn’t eat hotpot, so she didn’t come, but little Mo Yinhe did, and even brought a gift for Ye Xingguang.
“What’s this?”
Ye Xingguang asked curiously.
“Mom, today is Mother’s Day, so I picked this gift for you a month in advance.”
Ye Xingguang was pleasantly surprised: “Thank you, darling son.”
She opened it and found a necklace with understated yet luxurious gemstones, so beautiful that one couldn’t tear their gaze away.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful. Mom loves it.”
Little Mo Yinhe pursed his tiny lips: “I knew it, anything I choose, Mom will like.”
