I was taken aback. I didn't expect this reporter to come here for Su Peng's case.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the court session. In order to protect Li Xue, Su Yu and I have already discussed not to let Li Xue appear in court.

We even deliberately blocked the relevant news during this period, just to prevent Li Xue from worrying.

Behind the reporter, the photographer pointed the equipment inside the car.

Distraught, I was about to close the car window.

Who knew that the reporter was so cheeky that he got half of his body in, and the microphone in his hand almost reached Li Xue's face.

As if seeing the headlines, he beamed and said, "Mrs. Su, please answer my question!"

"Get out! Otherwise, I'll call the police!" In a panic, I cursed and pushed him with my hands, while calling the security guards for help.

Li Xue's voice sounded tepid: "I will attend the trial, and the prosecution will announce everything you want to know."

At the same time, the security of the villa finally rushed over and dragged the reporter out.

I quickly closed the car window, started the car and entered the villa.

In the garage, I looked at Li Xue in astonishment: "Mom, actually you don't need to appear in court. Su Peng has already pleaded guilty, and the evidence from the police and the prosecution is sufficient."

Even without the need for witnesses, Su Peng can still be convicted as usual.

"I know." She smiled at me gently, "I know what you and your brother are thinking, but this is my own decision. I want to participate in the trial, not only to identify Su Peng, but also to have a final trial. Take a look at him."

I pursed my lips, I couldn't get into her complicated 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 ten o'clock in the morning, I accompanied Li Xue to the court hearing on time.

When the police escorted Su Peng and He Ni out, Li Xue's body trembled visibly, 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 seemed to have aged ten years.

His hair became gray, his back was bent, and he was haggard visible to the naked eye.

He Ni was not much better, her bare skin turned yellow, her eyes were sunken, she became skinny, and she lost the delicacy of heavy makeup in the past.

At the beginning of the trial, Su Peng confessed to the prosecution's allegations and admitted all the crimes he had committed.

I sat under the stage, holding Li Xue's hand tightly, and found that her palm was terribly cold.

I can't help but recall Su Pengci's kind-hearted look when I first returned to Su's house, and the happy look on his face when I called him "Dad".

These pictures emerged little by little, and then disappeared little by little.

I will still be like this, one can imagine how complicated and sad Li Xue, who has lived with Su Peng for more than 20 years, will be at this moment.

"In view of the undeniable facts of the crime, this court sentenced the principal criminal, Su Peng, to life imprisonment..." The judge's voice was solemn, Li Xue's body trembled, and I held her tighter.

After the judge read out the verdicts one by one, He Ni and Leng Dajun collapsed on the ground on the spot.

"Does the defendant have any objections?" asked the judge.

Su Peng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Judge, can I say a few words to the victim?"

I was stunned for a moment, then saw the judge's gaze fell on me and Li Xue, and then nodded: "Go ahead."

In the next second, Su Peng turned around stiffly and faced Li Xue and me.

I didn't know what he wanted to say, I frowned subconsciously, my instinct was to protect Li Xue at any time.

I looked at Su Peng quietly, his eyes met mine, he was stunned, and then looked at Li Xue.

Su Peng stared at Li Xue intently, with the tenderness of the past in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Xue'er, I'm sorry."

Li Xue pursed her lower lip, but did not make a sound.

Su Peng then said to me: "Xiaoshi, Dad is sorry for you. Take good care of your mother from now on, the only person she loves most in this world is you."

There was a chill in my heart, and I said coldly: "Don't worry, from now on, we won't be in any danger again."

"Su Peng, you bastard! You lied to me! You said you have no feelings for her!" He Ni suddenly screamed frantically, "It's all your fault! It's you who made me like this !"

He Ni howled heart-piercingly, baring her teeth and claws to rush towards Su Peng.

The police held her down and took all the prisoners down.

What awaits them is a long prison sentence and repentance.

I helped Li Xue out of the court, her steps were heavy, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

I was worried about her: "Mom, are you okay?"

She lowered her eyes and did not answer me. Immediately, crystal tears fell down.

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 the unhappy memories!"

When the tone fell, she burst into laughter while crying, and said happily, "He said, the only person I love the most in this world is you. But I loved him before, but he was so inferior that he couldn't believe me. It's ridiculous, he You actually feel that you are no better than a dead person!"

"Mom..." I was stunned. Is this Li Xue's true confession?

She loved Su Peng, but Su Peng loved her so much that he felt inferior and 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 such deep-rooted cognition that Su Peng loves Li Xue deeply, but at the same time feels that his love is not worth it.

That's why he finally betrayed Li Xue and his family under the emotional pressure of almost split personality.

"Mom, who is the dead person you mentioned just now?" I came back to my senses and asked without knowing why.

Li Xue wiped away her tears, regained her composure, and told me softly: "The first love I mentioned to you died in a car accident in the second year of marriage."

An SUV stopped by the side of the road, and Su Yu came to pick us up as promised.

"Mom, what are you?" Su Yu asked subconsciously when he saw the tears on Li Xue's face.

I gave him a wink to tell him not to ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "Mom got up early today and is tired now, let's go home early and rest."

Su Yu started the car and returned to Su's house in a short while.

In the garage, I was about to get out of the car to accompany Li Xue upstairs, when Su Yu stopped me: "Xiaoshi, Chengfeng has a temporary meeting, and I need you to attend with me."

I was stunned, Li Xue patted my hand, and said gently: "Go, don't worry about me. I'll just sleep later."

I could only nod my head, and after watching Li Xue enter the elevator, I turned my head and frowned and asked Su Yu, "What's wrong with Orange Maple, why does it have to be opened at this juncture? When Mom is sad, why do you make up such a reason to keep me here?" What's the big deal?"
