Chapter 1055: Torture Methods 101
Xia Xiaoman’s mother never imagined that her daughter would be braindead enough to insist on hanging onto Chu Xiaoran, this tree, until death. She felt the urge to just throttle her.
Xia Xiaoman’s mother didn’t feel that Chu Xiaoran loved her daughter at all. If he did love her, why hasn’t he married her yet despite it already being so many years?
However, Xia Xiaoman insisted on staying with Chu Xiaoran. Everything Xia Xiaoman’s mother did was for the sake of Xia Xiaoman’s future since Xia Xiaoman still had a lot of time ahead of her. However, Xia Xiaoman didn’t appreciate her mother’s concern at all.
Xia Xiaoman’s mother was angry and also vexed. She said harshly, “If you insist on staying with Chu Xiaoran, I’ll just treat it as if I had never given birth to you. Do you have any sense of shame left? Because of you, every time your dad and I head out, we have to suffer so many looks. Everyone is laughing at our family. The Xia family has no face left.”
Xia Xiaoman cried brokenheartedly as she repeatedly said, “Mom, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry! But I can’t leave Chu Xiaoran. The child in my belly is Chu Xiaoran’s.”
Xia Xiaoman’s mother looked at her daughter. “What you mean is that you want to stay with Chu Xiaoran?”
Xia Xiaoman sobbed as she nodded. Xia Xiaoman’s mother got so angry that she flung the clothes she was holding, then threw the suitcase to the ground. “Then I never gave birth to you!”
Xia Xiaoman kowtowed towards her mother’s back, then collapsed to the ground weakly.
Later, the Xia family really did move away. Before the Xia family left, Xia Xiaoman’s mother gave Xia Xiaoman a sum of money and told her to fend for herself.
These past years, the Xia family had to suffer being the target of rumors and slanders because of Xia Xiaoman. Xia Xiaoman’s father had been a teacher and was a very upright one, but because of Xia Xiaoman, he couldn’t even keep his chin up in front of his students anymore.
Some students would even cover their mouths and snicker when they saw Xia Xiaoman’s father. They would whisper that this teacher’s daughter was someone’s mistress. On top of that Chu Xiaoran was even a well-known figure in T City.
Xia Xiaoman’s father abruptly lost a lot of confidence and even felt that he had failed in his morality and conduct. He didn’t feel confident in disciplining students anymore and some students would even disobey him openly and say that Xia Xiaoman was a mistress to his face, causing the entire classroom to erupt into laughter.
Originally Xia Xiaoman’s father had been about to retire, but he couldn’t bear to teach at this school anymore and applied to be deployed to a remote school whose conditions weren’t as good. Hence, in his heart he had already given up on Xia Xiaoman.
This daughter could just do whatever she wanted to. If she wanted to stay with Chu Xiaoran, then she could just stay with Chu Xiaoran.
Ning Shu found out that the Xia family had moved away and Xia Xiaoman was left by herself in T City. It only took a moment for her to realize that the Xia family had given up on Xia Xiaoman.
Was Xia Xiaoman waiting for Chu Xiaoran to get back out?
This was sure true love ah. True love filled with steadfast loyalty. Ning Shu inwardly sighed that Xia Xiaoman truly loved Chu Xiaoran deeply.
Chu Xiaoran’s case was scheduled to be heard in court. Due to the fact that Ning Shu’s entire body was covered with injuries, she didn’t personally attend court. Through some means, Chu Xiaoran found a defense lawyer and decreased his sentence of three years to one year.
This meant that Chu Xiaoran would only have to go to prison for a year due to being involved with criminal activities. This sentence was actually pretty light.
Trying to get out of having any sentence though wasn’t possible.
When Xia Xiaoman who was in the gallery heard this decision, her face paled. She glanced towards Ning Shu. It was clear that she was very dissatisfied with this result.
Ning Shu paid no attention to her.
In reality, Chu Xiaoran was pretty satisfied with this result. A year later, once he got out, he’d still be able to make a comeback.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xia Xiaoman who had a worried expression on her face, so his heart warmed. However, when he saw that Ning Shu was nearby, his facial color instantly darkened and he immediately came to the conclusion that Xia Xiaoman had ditched him and gotten back together with Xu Wenlang.
The more he thought about it, the worse his facial color became. Moreover, the child in Xia Xiaoman’s stomach was even his.
Xia Xiaoman didn’t know that Chu Xiaoran was thinking. Her heart was filled with worry for Chu Xiaoran and her face was filled with heartache.
After the court hearing was over, Chu Xiaoran was escorted to the detention center.
Ning Shu left the court with a slight smile. If you wanted to torment someone, then you had to destroy his life, crush his faith, and stomp on his dignity. Force him to watch as his hope was shattered and as the people he hated aloofly looked down on him.
