Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"I've come here to beg you and your son if you can forgive Tao Hao. He really knows he was wrong."

"He's still a college student with a bright future ahead of him. It would be such a shame if this ruined his life."

“He’s always been sensible since he was little, but this time he’s really bewitched.”

Upon hearing the name "Tao Hao," Chen Jianguo's face instantly darkened, becoming as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "College student? So what if you're a college student?"

"My son is also a college student, a top student at Tsinghua University! Does that give college students the right to wield a knife and injure people?"

"How dare you come here? My son almost lost his life. Do you know how scared I was?"

"Every night when I think about that day, I break out in a cold sweat!"

Li Cuilan knelt down with a thud, her knees hitting the ground heavily with a dull thud.

Tears welled up in her eyes, like a flood bursting its banks.

Li Cuilan pleaded, her voice trembling with tears, "Deputy Director Chen, we know Haozi was wrong; he really just made a mistake for a moment."

"He was drunk that day and was completely out of his mind, which is why he did such a foolish thing."

"Please, have mercy on him this time. He's still young; if he's sentenced, his life will be ruined!"

"He still has a bright future ahead of him; we can't let it be ruined like this!"

Just then, footsteps came from the living room, and Li Huazhen, who had heard the noise, came out.

Seeing the scene at the door, her face turned extremely pale, as if covered by a layer of frost.

She crossed her arms and said coldly, "Does being drunk give you the right to commit a crime? What kind of logic is that?"

“My son hasn’t been sleeping well these past few days. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees that terrifying scene.”

"You think you can get our forgiveness so easily? Have you even considered how we feel?"

Tao Yong anxiously added, "Deputy Director Chen, Aunt Chen, we are willing to compensate you, no matter how much it is, as long as you can forgive my brother."

"We know money can't make up for everything, but this is just a small token of our appreciation. We only ask that you give Haozi a chance."

"We'll sell everything we own to raise money for compensation, we just beg you to be lenient."

Chen Dong, who was in the bedroom, saw his parents standing at the door, seemingly talking to someone emotionally, so he quickly came out of the bedroom.

When Chen Dong arrived at the door and saw Tao Hao's family, his expression was as indifferent as ice that had never melted in a thousand years.

He said in an icy tone, "You can leave now. I will not forgive him."

"His crazy appearance at the time made me think I was going to die on the spot."

"When he rushed at me with a knife, all I felt was fear, a fear that went deep into my bones, a fear you can't even imagine."

“I am woken up by nightmares every night. Can you understand this kind of pain?”

In reality, this was just a pretext used by Chen Dong to exert pressure; Chen Dong had no intention of forgiving Tao Hao at all.

They even thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to put Tao Hao in jail for life!

Tao Dashan's eyes reddened with anxiety, tears welling up, and he pleaded again, "Young Master Chen!"

"Just let him go, considering Haozi is drunk and out of his mind."

"We'll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back, so he'll never dare to do it again."

"He has deeply realized his mistakes and regrets them every day. He spends every day in the detention center in tears."

Chen Dong frowned, shook his head, and said in a firm and unquestionable tone, "Being drunk is not an excuse."

"Tao Hao is the same age as me, a 19-year-old college student, and he is already an adult."

"Adults are responsible for their own actions."

"His actions have caused me great harm."

“Every night I dream of him rushing at me with a knife, and that fear has always haunted me.”

"Can you understand? This kind of shadow may stay with me for the rest of my life!"

Chen Dong reiterated this point, his attitude remaining unchanged.

Lin Xiaomin whispered from the side, "Young Master Chen, Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, we are really sorry. Please give our family another chance."

“If Haozi goes to prison, our family is finished.”

“He is our hope, we cannot lose him. Our family will definitely live good lives from now on to repay your kindness.”

Tao Hao was the only college student in the Tao family, and the whole family was counting on him to have a bright future, but this happened.

Chen Jianguo waved his hand impatiently, a look of annoyance on his face.

"Stop talking here, this isn't going to be easy to resolve."

“The trauma my son suffered cannot be compensated by a few words or a little compensation from you.”

"Get out of here and stop bothering us!"

Li Huazhen chimed in, "That's right, you should leave now and stop bothering us."

"Seeing you now reminds us of the terrible scene from that day."

Seeing that his pleas for mercy were in vain, Tao Dashan became extremely anxious and knelt down with a thud.

They cried out, "Deputy Director Chen, Madam Chen, please, have pity on us!"

"Our whole family is counting on Haozi. If he goes to jail, how will we survive?"

Upon seeing this, Tao Yong also knelt down, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense, as if the air itself had frozen.

However, Chen Dong's family remained unmoved.

Chen Jianguo looked at the Tao family members kneeling on the ground without the slightest emotion, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at strangers.

He then turned and walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of the guards at the compound.

"Hello, this is Chen Jianguo. There are a few people harassing me at my door. Can you come and deal with them and make them leave?"

A short while later, two armed guards rushed over.

Chen Jianguo pointed at the Tao family and said, "It's them. Please ask them to leave."

The guard stepped forward and said politely but firmly, "Gentlemen, since the residents here do not wish to see you, please do not disturb them. Please leave."

Tao Hao's family was able to arrive at Chen Dong's doorstep only after being searched by the guards. It was because the matter involved residents that they were allowed to enter after the search.

Left with no other choice, Tao Dashan and the others slowly stood up and left Chen Dong's house, looking back every few steps.

Their figures appeared particularly lonely in the corridor, their steps heavy and dragging.

This plea ultimately ended in failure.

Tao Hao's fate remains uncertain, hanging in the balance.

Their hearts were filled with despair and helplessness; the road ahead seemed bleak and hopeless.

In the Chen family's living room, Chen Jianguo plopped heavily onto the sofa.

The sofa cushion, like a spring that could not withstand the pressure, bounced upwards suddenly and then slowly fell back down.
