Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

The woman nodded gently: "Okay, I'll listen."

He said in a difficult tone, "You may think my dad is easy to get along with, but it's all an illusion. Everyone is deceived by his appearance. His essence is colder than anyone else."

"Three years ago, I was kidnapped at gunpoint and held in an abandoned warehouse. The robber held me hostage and demanded a ransom, but he said to the robber on the phone, 'I don't have time to negotiate with you, it's useless to threaten him,' and hung up the phone without caring about my life or death."

"I will never forget the tone he used when he said that - bland, as bland as dead water. It was as if he wouldn't even look at me dying in front of him."

Tong Huaimu thrust his hands into his hair in front of his forehead in pain. He closed his eyes tightly while saying this, trying hard to hold back his trembling.

The man's words were like a sharp knife with a cold glow. The knife stabbed fiercely into his heart and stirred vigorously, crushing his blood, flesh, and tendons into pieces.

Jian Yan couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

"Later... the police came and I was rescued."

"Did your father call the police?"

His expression was ferocious and extremely angry, but his eyes were glistening with tears, as if he was about to cry. He looked desolate and helpless: "I don't know. It doesn't matter to me who reported it."

The woman was silent.

There was a long silence.

In fact, she knew that Xiao Mu had arranged for the kidnapping himself. Because his mother told her about his origins.

"I drugged you and framed Tong Ruixiao."

"You are just a burden that I planned to give birth to to tie up Tong Ruixiao!"

"You are the biggest stain in his life. When he looks at you, he will remember that he was framed."

"He will never treat you as his own child. You are what he hates the most!"

"You idiot, you treat the person who hates you the most in the world as your father."

"..."

Xiao Mu didn't believe that his father didn't love him, and wanted to verify it by being kidnapped, but he didn't expect the result to be more painful than his mother's words.

If the truth told by his mother herself was a sudden blow, then the answer he got was a devastating blow that was almost devastating.

Make him completely despair.

Later, the police arrived earlier than expected, and Tong Huaimu panicked. But because he was not injured, the hired kidnappers were released after being detained for a while.

On the surface, the incident ended like this, but its impact on him did not fade with the passage of time, but instead became deeper and deeper.

It's like a nail stuck in the bone, which can never be removed.

"You can tell me something like this, which shows your trust in me. I'm very happy. But in my opinion, there may be some misunderstanding..."

Jane hesitated for a long time before trying to talk to the boy.

He reacted violently, looking at her with red eyes and aggrieved: "You don't believe me? Do you?"

"Xiao Mu, don't get excited. I believe you. I've kept everything you said in mind. But I always feel that..."

"What do you think? Do you think he's innocent? A man like him, he——"

Tong Huaimu clenched his fists in anger and humiliation, bit his lower lip, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing that he was too emotional, Jian Yan couldn't communicate with him, so she could only pat him on the shoulder to calm him down.

Then she left the room with the empty tray.

……

Mid May.

The lawsuit against Jian Yao was initiated. Since the third victim was killed in Jiangcheng, the case was filed in Jiangcheng Court.

The information compiled by Tong Ruixiao was handed over to the lawyer of the third victim and presented to the judge as evidence after the trial.

This criminal private prosecution was conducted in secret and was not made public.

The victim provided witnesses and detailed physical evidence, which was conclusive enough to get the criminal sentenced. Jian Yao did not do this for nothing, he hired elite lawyers to exploit legal loopholes and tried to bribe them with money, making things difficult.

inside the room.

Jian Yan muted her vibrating phone and turned it upside down on the table. She smiled and looked at the man in front of her: "Jian Yao is about to explode."

After a pause, his smile faded: "But I'm still worried whether he will be cruel enough to attack Chen Yufang..."

Although the original owner may not have any feelings for Chen Yufang, they are related by blood after all, so she still has to ensure that the other party does not die because of her.

Tong Ruixiao patted the back of her hand and advised her not to worry.

"Don't worry. A normal person wouldn't risk another life at a time when they are already facing a lawsuit. Besides, she is the nominal eldest mother of the Jian family. If something happens to her, someone will definitely notice it."

"Ah."

Jian Yan nodded.

She always felt vaguely uneasy.

Not long after that, her feeling came true.

Early June.

The lawsuit is over.

Jian Yao was sentenced to one year and seven months in prison.

This punishment is like a speck of hair compared to the evil things he has done; it is not worth mentioning.

Jian Yao had done too many bad things, some of the certifications were not handled properly, and there was even a lot of physical evidence. He relied on the fact that no one dared to confront him and acted tyrannically. Even so, the trial lasted for seven months, which shows how terrible the power of money and power is.

Jian Yan listened to the verdict of the case brought by Tong Ruixiao and was not surprised by the short time:

"Jian Gang's younger brother Jian Shuo is the president of a bank in Beijing. He is surrounded by high-ranking officials, many of whom are still in important positions and have not retired. Jian Yao must have sought help from them."

Even though a centipede is still alive, there is a reason why the Jian family ranks high in the capital. Its power is so complicated and intertwined that it is impossible to guess in which field or location their people are hiding.

Geographical and blood ties are intertwined into a huge network, reinforced by exchanges of interests. Once she enters their territory, there is no way she can escape.

Those people usually lie dormant and will only surface when their interests are violated or when other parties make demands.

This is why she didn't dare to go to the capital.

Tong Ruixiao held her hand and asked, "Will you not blame me?"

"Why do you blame me?"

"He is nominally your brother. It is not a shame for you to see him in jail."

Jian Yan laughed out loud: "Pfft, I thought you were blaming yourself because he was sentenced too little."

"Face is the most worthless thing. I don't care about that. Besides, I have something even more shameful on my shoulders."

Brother-sister collusion...it would be shameful if such a thing were to be exposed.

Tong Ruixiao understood what she was saying and nodded solemnly: "I hope he won't break that layer of window paper and save some face for himself."

She said vaguely: "Well, I'll save your face."

After all, it is a great shame for a husband if his wife has an affair with his brother. Especially the rumors from the outside world are definitely not subtle and kind.

"If he really goes crazy, I have ways to deal with him. I'm not afraid of him," Tong Ruixiao said, "but once this matter gets out, it will definitely have a bad impact on your reputation. I'm worried about this."
