Wei Guowei didn't even raise his head since he entered the courtroom. He didn't even look at Jiang Huifang and he was like a beaten rooster who had lost all his fighting strength.
Liang Zixuan suddenly remembered her previous life. At that time, her throat had been damaged and she was imprisoned in that dark room. When Wei Guowei came to see her, he was so enthusiastic and arrogant.
Liang Zixuan still remembered how he answered her when she asked him why he treated her like that. At that time, he pointed his finger at her and said, "Because you are like your mother. You are both selfish people!"
And now, looking at Wei Guowei's miserable appearance, she really felt that everything that had happened to her was like yesterday. In just one night, she and Wei Guowei had switched places.
Her hand subconsciously grabbed Han Yuanjun's hand and held it tightly.
Han Yuanjun glanced at her. He smiled and gently stroked her hand with his thumb.
At the beginning of the trial, Wei Xiaofan testified against Wei Guowei and recounted everything that had happened twenty-two years ago to the judge.
The defendant's lawyer actually sat there without defending Wei Guowei.
Wei Xiaoqing and Jiang Huifang certainly would not have spent money to hire a lawyer for Wei Guowei. This lawyer was hired by the court to help him.
During the interrogation, not once did Wei Guowei say anything. He just sat there silently.
"Since you are not saying anything, does this mean you admit your mistake?" His lawyer finally asked him.
Only at this moment did Wei Guowei look up at the lawyer dejectedly. He smirked. "If I don't confess, can you help me turn this case around?"
The lawyer paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No. The evidence is conclusive. Even if you hire Shao Wuhan, he will not be able to win the case for you either."
Wei Guowei bowed his head silently. Since everything had come to this, he preferred not to say anything.
After Wei Xiaofan finished speaking, silence fell in the courtroom. The judge looked at Wei Guowei's lawyer and asked, "Do you have anything else to say regarding your defendant?"
The lawyer stood up. "No, my client has pleaded guilty."
With these words, everything was decided.
At this point, Liang Zixuan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down.
She slowly closed her eyes and held back the tears that were gathering in her eyes.
'Mom, did you see it?'
'I have avenged you.'
'After twenty-two years, the bad guy finally got his retribution.'
'Mom...'
Han Yuanjun brought Liang Zixuan into his arms. His hands gently caressed her hair. "Baby, if you want to cry, just cry. I'm here. No one will laugh at you."
Liang Zixuan, who was holding back her tears, suddenly sobbed under Han Yuanjun's gentle voice.
She hugged Han Yuanjun's waist and buried her head against his chest as she cried.
Liang Jiahao slowly looked at the crying Liang Zixuan. Her small body was twitching with sobs and he felt pain in his heart.
Liang Jiahao originally wanted to comfort Liang Zixuan himself, but seeing how Han Yuanjun hugged her and coaxed her with such tenderness, he suppressed his impulse.
His sister had grown up.
His little sister had gotten married.
She already had a tree that could shelter her from the wind and rain, and a person that she could rely on.
He could let her go now.
Wei Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to him, snorted mockingly. "What is there to cry about? Shouldn't you be happy? Is it worth wasting your tears on an unworthy person? Tch. You only know how to act pathetic in front of men to gain their sympathy."
Liang Jiahao suddenly turned around with a sharp look. Wei Xiaoqing immediately closed her mouth.
Liang Jiahao did not say anything. He was already serious and cold enough when his face was expressionless. But now he looked at her with such a bone-piercing cold, she was so scared that her heart trembled with fear.
Wei Xiaoqing bit her lip and looked away. From time to time, she would glance at Liang Jiahao to see if he was still looking at her and if he would make a move against her.
Actually, Wei Xiaoqing couldn't understand.
They were clearly siblings, but why did Liang Jiahao like Liang Zixuan so much? But when it came to her, he really hated her!
When Wei Xiaoqing was young, she was naive and daydreamed of playing with her brother and sister.
But Jiang Huifang wouldn't let her play with them.
When she was a little older, she sneaked into Liang Jiahao's room to see the good things he had hidden, and only played with Liang Zixuan, instead of playing with her.
Wei Xiaoqing rummaged through Liang Jiahao's room. Except for some very old toys, there was nothing fun there.
She was angry, so she called the nanny and told her to throw away the toys.
When Liang Jiahao came back, Wei Xiaoqing angrily said to him. "You can't play with your toys anymore. Your transformer's leg is broken, so I'll throw it away along with everything else. Tell dad and mom to buy you a new one."
Liang Jiahao glared at her and gritted his teeth. As if he was going to eat her.
Out of fear, Wei Xiaoqing ran into Jiang Huifang's bedroom. Seeing her shaking with fear, Jiang Huifang asked what had happened, and Wei Xiaoqing told her what she wanted to know.
In the end, Jiang Huifang told Wei Guowei as soon as he got home that Liang Jiahao had bullied Wei Xiaoqing. Wei Guowei was so angry that he went to beat Liang Jiahao.
Jiang Huifang then taught Wei Xiaoqing. "Dad's money belongs to us only, not to Liang Zixuan and Liang Jiahao. You can throw away their trash, but don't ask mom and dad to buy new things for them, okay? If that happens, you will have fewer beautiful new toys and clothes, would you like that?"
Wei Xiaoqing shook her head. "No, I don't like that."
Wei Xiaoqing had done many of these things to Liang Jiahao and Liang Zixuan, and she always felt that she was right.
That it was all Liang Jiahao and Liang Zixuan's fault. They didn't consider her as their siblings and never played with her, so to Wei Xiaoqing, all of Liang Jiahao and Liang Zixuan's misery was because of their fault.
Liang Jiahao had always been good to Liang Zixuan. Even now, he was still good to her.
But with Wei Xiaoqing, he never considered her as his sister at all. He hated her.
Wei Xiaoqing snorted angrily and thought in her heart. "What's so great about not liking me! Even if you don't like me, you still can't change the fact that you are my brother! I will go to you whenever I need something and keep bothering you. After all, you're my brother!"
After the trial ended, Liang Zixuan and the others left the courtroom.
Liang Zixuan feared that Tian Qihua couldn't sleep because of worry, so she called her.
Of course, the phone only rang twice before it was picked up.
"Mom, it's finally over. Wei Guowei has been sentenced to life in prison. He won't be able to get out for the rest of his life."
"Good, that's good." Tian Qihua sighed in relief. Liang Zixuan could tell that she was really happy for her. "Your father and I can sleep well now. Zixuan, if you need anything in the future, just remember to call me, okay? You don't have to carry everything by yourself."
Liang Zixuan nodded with red eyes, "Yes, I understand.. Mom, thank you."
