Chapter 171: Trial
I was taken aback, I didn't expect this reporter to come for Su Peng's case.
The day after tomorrow is the day of the trial, in order to protect Li Xue, Su Yu and I have actually discussed a long time ago and will not let Li Xue appear in court.
Even, we deliberately blocked the relevant news during this time, just to prevent Li Xue from being upset.
Behind the reporter, the photographer carried the equipment and pointed it at the car.
I was distraught and was about to close the window.
Who knew that the reporter was cheeky, and even stuck half of his body in, and the microphone in his hand was almost on Li Xue's face.
As if seeing the headlines, his eyebrows fluttered and said, "Mrs. Su, please answer my question!" ”
"Get out! Otherwise, I'll call the police! In a fit of rage, I cursed and forcibly pushed him with my hand while shouting for help from the security guards.
Li Xue's voice sounded tepidly: "I will attend the trial, and the prosecution will announce everything you want to know at that time." ”
At the same time, the security guard of the villa finally rushed over and pulled the reporter out.
I quickly closed the windows and started the car into the villa.
In the garage, I looked at Li Xue in astonishment: "Mom, in fact, you don't have to appear in court. Su Peng has pleaded guilty, and the evidence from the police and the prosecution is sufficient. ”
Even if there is no need for witnesses to come forward, Su Peng can be convicted as usual.
"I know." She smiled softly at me, "I know what you and your brother want, but it's my own decision. I wanted to participate in the trial, not only to identify Su Peng, but also to take one last look at him. ”
I pursed my lips, I couldn't relate to her complex emotions.
Now that she has made up her mind, I can only respect her idea.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Su Peng's trial.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, I accompanied Li Xue to the trial site on time.
When the police escorted Su Peng and He Ni out, Li Xue's body trembled obviously, and her eyes fell on Su Peng's face, and there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
In just a few months, Su Peng seems to be ten years old.
His hair was gray, his back was hunched, and he was visibly haggard.
He Ni is no better, her skin is yellow, her eyes are sunken, she has become skinny, and she has lost the delicacy of heavy makeup in the past.
At the beginning of the trial, Su Peng confessed to the prosecution's identification and admitted all the crimes he had committed.
I sat under the stage, held Li Xue's hand tightly, and found that her palm was terrifyingly cold.
I can't help but recall Su Peng's kind eyes when I first returned to Su's house, and I think of the happy look when I called him "Dad".
These images emerged little by little, and then dissipated little by little.
I will still be like this, but I can imagine how complicated and sour Li Xue, who has lived with Su Peng for more than 20 years, will be at this moment.
"In view of the conclusive facts of the crime, this court sentenced the main culprit Su Peng to life imprisonment in accordance with the law......" The judge's voice was solemn, Li Xue's body trembled, and I held her tighter.
After the judge read out the verdict in turn, He Ni and Leng Dajun collapsed on the spot.
"Does the defendant have any objections?" The judge asked.
Su Peng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Judge, can I say a few words to the victim?" ”
I was stunned, and saw that the judge's eyes fell on me and Li Xue, and then nodded: "You say." ”
In the next second, Su Peng turned around stiffly and faced me and Li Xue.
I didn't know what he wanted to say, so I subconsciously frowned, and my instinctive reaction was to protect Li Xue at any time.
I looked at Su Peng faintly, he looked at me with four eyes, stunned, and looked at Li Xue.
Su Peng looked at Li Xue intently, the tenderness of the past appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xue'er, I'm sorry." ”
Li Xue pursed her lower lip and didn't make a sound.
Su Peng then said to me: "Xiaoshi, Dad is sorry for you. Take care of your mother in the future, the only person she loves in this world is you. ”
I felt a chill in my heart, and said coldly: "Don't bother, from now on, we will not be in any danger." ”
"Su Peng, you bastard! You lied to me! You said you had no feelings for her for a long time! He Ni suddenly screamed frantically, "It's all your fault! You're the one who made me like this! ”
He Ni howled heartbreakingly, opening her teeth and claws to rush towards Su Peng.
The police held her down and took the prisoners down.
What awaits them will be a long sentence and repentance.
I helped Li Xue out of the courthouse, her steps heavy and her face so pale that there was no blood.
I was worried about her: "Mom, are you okay?" ”
She lowered her eyes and did not answer me, and in an instant, tears fell from her eyes.
Li Xue cried, I was shocked, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears: "Mom, everything will pass." You told me that we should forget unhappy memories! ”
When the voice fell, she cried and cried and suddenly laughed, and said, "He said, the only person I love in this world is you." But I loved him, but he was so inferior that he couldn't believe me. It's ridiculous that he thinks he's no better than a dead man! ”
"Mom......" I was stunned, is this Li Xue's true confession?
She loved Su Peng, but Su Peng loved her so much that she couldn't believe her love.
Perhaps in Su Peng's heart, Li Xue was forced to marry him because she was abandoned by her first love.
It is precisely because of this deep-rooted cognition that Su Peng will love Li Xue deeply on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is not worth his love.
That's why he finally betrayed Li Xue and his family under this emotional pressure that was almost split personality.
"Mom, what did you mean by the dead man?" I came back to my senses and asked inexplicably.
Li Xue wiped away her tears, cheered herself up, and told me softly: "The first love I mentioned to you, he died in a car accident in the second year after marriage. ”
An SUV stopped on the side of the road, and Su Yu came to pick us up and take us home as promised.
"Mom, what are you?" Su Yu saw the tears on Li Xue's face and asked subconsciously.
I gave him a look, told him not to ask more, and changed the subject: "Mom got up early today, and now she is tired, let's go home early and rest." ”
Su Yu started the car and returned to Su's house after a while.
In the garage, I was about to get out of the car to accompany Li Xue upstairs, when Su Yu stopped me: "Xiaoshi, Orange Feng has some temporary meetings, and I need you to attend with me." ”
I was stunned, Li Xue patted my hand and said gently, "Go ahead, don't worry about me." I'll just get some sleep later. ”
I could only nod, and after seeing Li Xue enter the elevator, I turned my head and frowned and asked Su Yu: "What will Orange Feng do, do you have to open it at this juncture?" When Mom was sad, what was the big deal when you made up such a reason to keep me? ”
