Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 548: This Was a Habit of Someone at the Top

“In short, we can only take this matter one step at a time. We’ll go to apologize to the Chen family first and see if they’re willing to forgive us. If they’re unwilling, then we have no choice but to find another way.”

Wei Ling was still stunned and couldn’t speak. Her face was as white as a piece of paper, still holding the document Shen Jingyan had given her earlier. Her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn’t say a word.

Before seeing this document, she was still arrogant and confident. She wasn’t afraid to stand up against Qiao Nian. Even if she got in trouble, she still wanted to teach Qiao Nian a lesson.

However, she now understood the situation clearly. Qiao Nian had something against Wei Qi. This evidence was enough to ruin Wei Qi’s life. Moreover, they made it very clear. If they apologized sincerely now, Wei Qi would only face up to five years in prison. However, if they decided to continue fighting against them and pestering them about Qiao Nian beating him up, Wei Qi would spend the rest of his life in prison.

Wei Ling clenched her jaw tightly. She hated that she didn’t have a choice in this matter. She felt powerless.

She could continue to fight against this decision. However, even if the court ruled that Qiao Nian beat Wei Qi up for no reason, the punishment wouldn’t be severe as the medical records showed that Wei Qi was only slightly injured.

Furthermore, Qiao Nian had only just turned 18. She was still considered a student.

Under such circumstances, the court wouldn’t punish her too severely.

At the most, she would only face a fine. Qiao Nian would also have to be locked up in the detention center for about three to five days and receive counseling.

On the other hand, her brother would have to pay a heavy price.

She couldn’t afford to risk it. She hated Qiao Nian so much that she couldn’t help clenching her jaw. Even so, she didn’t dare to gamble with her brother’s life!

Shen Jingyan was aware of her temperament. He knew she was from a very influential family. She had spent most of her life looking down on people and acting arrogantly. She had also never suffered a loss before. It was because he understood his wife’s character so well that he set his eyes on her again and said with a serious expression, “Wei Ling, this is Wei Qi’s last chance. When we see Chen Yuan later, you must look out for your attitude. Don’t blow this matter up even more. Wei Qi will be the one on the losing end. He’s still young. Do you want him to spend the rest of his life in prison?”

Wei Ling’s face was pale. She was speechless.

“Hey, actually, Nian Nian is also not a stranger to us. Didn’t you like her very much before? Although it’s wrong that she beat Wei Qi, you were also a little too impulsive. You immediately went to look for Dongshan to cancel her student status. You should have tried to understand why she beat him up first. She’s not the kind of child who would beat someone up for no reason.”

Although he spoke casually, after the incident, he didn’t bother to find out the reason why Qiao Nian beat Wei Qi up.

He thought the same way as Wei Ling. There was no reason or excuse that could pardon you if you beat someone up.

Qiao Nian had beat Wei Qi up. She must pay the price for this.

She had to pay the price, regardless of what Wei Qi did.

Some people were just born different. Even if they did something wrong, it could be due to their young age and naivety. They were merely ignorant. Anyone who came across them would just consider themselves unlucky. Even if they came after them, it would just seem as though they were trying to hit a stone with an egg. The only person who would be losing out would be themselves!

In the past, when Wei Qi used to be a bully in Beijing, they would always help to clean up his messes. This was also why Wei Qi had this mentality.

In addition, they handled this matter just like how they used to do it.

Who would expect that they would face a loss this time!

They hurt themselves badly!

Shen Jingyan’s expression was cold and hard, and his eyes were clear. He had the mentality of a businessman. There were no feelings, only thoughts of gains and losses in his eyes.

“It’s our loss this time. We must be more careful next time.”
